"Bang!" Emperor Li Chi swept away everything on the table, his face was extremely ugly, and the palace maids and eunuchs on the side were afraid to make a sound.

"Isn't it just to greet the victorious soldiers, what others can do, he Zhou Zhe can't do?

"Your Majesty is angry. Anger is relieved. Huang bowed down and comforted.

At this moment, a waiter secretly glanced inside and reported: "The ninth princess asks to see Your Majesty." ”

"No!" Li Chi replied subconsciously.

But the waiter still knelt outside the door and did not leave.

was already angry, Li Chi was even more angry this time and shouted: "Are you deaf?

The waiter replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess said. Say that if you don't see her, she will kneel outside until you see her. ”

Li Chi took a breath and said angrily: "Even you don't listen to me? ”

Huang opened his mouth at this time and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, the ninth princess is pregnant!" This sentence can be regarded as giving Li Chi a step down.

Li Chi, who was huffing, said, "Let her in." ”

After a while, Li Jiuyang entered the study, looked at the mess that had not yet been cleaned, and just glanced at it, he turned to Li Chi, who was sitting on the main seat at the moment, and said

"Father, what are you trying to do?"

Li Chi is already a little used to talking like this to this daughter, not because he is used to it, but because Li Jiuyang has always been like this. He often sighed that among his four children, only Li Jiuyang's courage and wisdom far surpassed that of mortals, but it was a pity that she was a daughter. I think that at the beginning, when his queen was pregnant with Li Jiuyang, she once dreamed of the scorching sun shining in the sky, and there were nine of them, so she gave the name Jiuyang in advance.

It's just that the last one gave birth to a girl, so there is a saying that the nine princesses are born.

Li Chi said angrily: "What kind of trouble am I doing? Isn't that Zhou Zhe? He can take his cronies to the garrison street to show off his might, but can't he go to open the way for the triumphant soldiers? Is he still my Dasheng's courtiers? His group of guards are still not my Dasheng's soldiers?"

A few questions in a row, almost every sentence. Li Jiuyang knew that his father's thinking had fallen into a dead end. If we don't solve it as soon as possible, sooner or later, these ideas will slowly ferment to the point where they are out of control.

"Father, let me ask, if you are Zhou Zhe. You besieged Xiaogu Mountain and punished the main force of Hedong Yipintang. But when you returned to the city, you found out that the meat you had boiled in the pot was eaten by people, how did you feel? Besides, how do you feel when you go back and let you clear the streets for the stealers you don't look down on?"

"This!" Li Chi was speechless for a while.

Thinking from another perspective, Li Chi understood, several things were not considered stupid moves, but they were a little aggressive when they shot at the same time.

Li Jiuyang had already walked up to Li Chi at this moment and said, "Father, do you still remember the legend of Shen Deyin? Do you remember that day when Zhou Zhe told you the content of their trial in Xiaogu Mountain without reservation?"

Li Chi's heart fire had already disappeared for the most part, and he nodded: "Remember, Demon Dragon, fight ten times as many half-orcs as yourself." What's the point?

Li Jiuyang smiled and said, "Do you think your Imperial Forest Army can punish the demon dragon? Do they have the courage to attack the demon dragon that will kill the soul when they touch it? Do they have the courage to fight the half-orcs who are ten times their own? If so, you and I have not said anything." If not, then you let them go with the highest glory to clear the way for the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Royal Forest, and you might as well kill them. ”

This time I understand, a sense of glory. Is it still a team that has no sense of glory or what kind of team? If you don't give face to others, you take the insides of others, and you don't get emotional, is Zhou Zhe a paper paste? No matter how much Li Chi tries to win over and bestow those honorable relatives, how many people can use it?

With a slap on the head, Li Chi regretted it a little, and the medicine was fierce.

Then he looked at Huang who was standing under him and said, "Go, serve tea to Jiu'er." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and asked, "Jiu'er, what should we do for today's plan?

"Father, although Zhou Zhe is young, he is also a person who walks on the avenue, and he neglects state affairs, so naturally he will not. Instead of pressing him with means, you should move with affection. I still know a little about the little junior brother, and he is like a brother to his group of cronies, whether it is Wang Rui or Liu Maosheng. He bought them a house and a wife. ”

Li Jiuyang chattered, while Li Chi fell into deep thought, and even Huang quietly served him the tea without paying attention.

Zhou Zhe couldn't use means to suppress, because he was different from those courtiers and those nobles. Li Chi forgot that he was a young and strong man, who was not arrogant in young people, even if Zhou Zhe's actual heart was about the same age as Yang Jue, he was still young. Yang Jue has Li Jiuyang as a fetter. And what about Zhou Zhe?

There is one in the Book of Heaven, which is almost all his fetters, not to mention those cronies who were born and died with him?

After a while, Li Chi, who was listening and thinking, understood, and he understood Zhou Zhe.

"A few days ago, he smashed Feng Xijiao's dessert shop, and robbed the chef?" Li Chi's question was a little abrupt at the moment, but Li Jiuyang understood that her persuasion had worked, and her father had begun to change his thinking.

Li Jiuyang said: "Yes, he adopted a group of children of Shandong Dao disaster victims, maybe he is going to choose a few outstanding disciples, after all, Miao Xiaomeng's apprentice is too lonely." Listen to these children。。。。。 ”

Li Jiuyang told what he heard from Yang Jue.

Li Chibian nodded when he heard the change, and his thoughts finally came out of his angry and narrow thinking: "Let him return Feng Xijiao's chef, there are also a few masters who make desserts in the palace, not worse than them, you go back and bring it to Zhou Zhe." ”

Xiao Jiu'er understood. Li Jiuyang got up and thanked him.

Li Chi looked at Li Jiuyang's bulging belly, frowned, and said, "Huang Ke, you can do this." In addition, the Triumph Gift is canceled. Just walk in front of the palace gate, and the civil and military officials do not need to participate. ”

"Yes! Huang bowed down and prepared to go on an errand.

I didn't think that I was stopped by Li Chi again before I reached the door

"Go to Zhongshu Province again and tell Fan Wenliang that the titles of Zhou Zhe's subordinates are promoted according to merit, and if they can be promoted, in addition, Jin Feng Xin will be chased as the princess of Xingchen, and Miao Xiaomengyin will be the county lord. ”

"Yes! Huang bowed down, but this time he didn't leave directly.

Li Chi was angry this time and asked, "Huang Ke, is there anything else?"

"Your Majesty, the errand of the old slave's internal guard?" Keeping abreast of the thoughts of the superior at any time is a compulsory course for every chamberlain, and Huang is naturally no exception.

Li Jiuyang thought that Li Chihui would be approved together, but he never thought that her father's idea would be more perfect.

"You're also familiar with the workings of the inner guard these days. My virtuous son-in-law almost died because of his inner room, and this gave me a wake-up call. When you talk about the organization of the internal guards, you don't have to take care of the daily affairs of the internal guards, you only supervise, not manage. ”

If Zhou Zhe is here, he will probably understand, and it is that set up to supervise Jinyiwei in the East Factory.

But Li Jiuyang didn't think so, at least, Yang Jue really almost died because of the inner guard's inner room, and it would be good to have an extra layer of supervision and control.

Li Jiuyang was originally going to ask for a decree for Phantom Jade, but after thinking about it, Liu Maosheng was now at least an earl, and his wife and son were just around the corner, so he didn't speak again.

Li Jiuyang had dinner in the palace and did not leave in a carriage until the afternoon.

And outside, everything has been improved because of her persuasion.

"Your Majesty really said that?" Zhou Zhe's rigid face finally became more angry, and the emperor was still persuaded by his senior sister to play the emotional card, this way, the best.

Huang replied respectfully: "Yes! Congratulations to Master Hou and the county lord of Miao here." Finally, please go to the internal guard yamen tomorrow to hand over, my old body can't stand to toss back and forth like this. ”

"Thank you Huang Neishou for taking care of it for so many days. Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Zhou Zhe finally felt comfortable, even if Huang became the owner of the East Factory, he didn't care at all, as long as it didn't affect his work, he would manage the southeast and northwest factories.

What made him most comfortable was that the emperor Jin named Xin Chai as the princess of Xingchen, which means that he will also take the princess in the future. With little vanity, he doesn't have to be treated badly by Yang Jue, after all, he is married to a princess.

When Huang returned to Li Chi again for completing the errand, Li Chi was very satisfied with Zhou Zhe's happy attitude, and he was afraid that he would not find your weakness. A person who wants to use it himself and has the ability, if there is no suitable way to control, it will be difficult for any emperor to do it, find the right way and direction, and all the results will develop in a good direction.

Fan Wenliang, who was informed of the change in merit titles, breathed a sigh of relief, the situation improved, and the tone of his speech became more angry

"Your Majesty is talking about Zhou Zhe's cronies, not Zhou Zhe. Zhou Zhe's title was pressed first. ”

The advantage of pressure is that it is stocky. If you are only weak and crowned, you will be crowned a marquis, and in another ten years, you will really be able to go to heaven.

The whole process can be described as a peak and a loop, no one is a loser, even those who learned that the large-scale triumphal ceremony was canceled because of Zhou Zhe's refusal. Because although he has lost some face, the emperor will definitely give it enough.

Sure enough, after the expected relatives returned triumphantly, they were not disappointed, except for a part of the treasury, nearly 30 million taels of silver were used as a reward to participate in the assessment of the Royal Forest Army in Hedong. Several of them have made war exploits, except for no change of title, almost everyone has obtained the coveted fief.

made such a large fortune, even the business of the brothels and restaurants in the capital has improved, the celebration banquet, the reception banquet one after another, it is really joyful and lively, almost for a month, the restaurant owner can't keep his mouth shut.

And Su Daosan, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, after repeatedly resigning, was stubbornly restored to the title of his ancestors by the emperor, and for a while, he almost became a celebrity in the capital.

Three Weng lost their horses and knew the blessings and misfortunes?

This sentence applies to both Su Daosan and Zhou Zhe.

Su Daosan took the Imperial Forest Army without saying a word, it was the emperor who asked for secrecy, and he did it without hesitation, he was a loyal minister. But it also means that he and Zhou Zhe's subordinates are strangers. Zhou Zhe still has a green eye for him, but there is always that estrangement.

Su Daosan reported to Zhou Zhe about the current situation in Hedong and the battle situation, including the process, no matter how big or small, but in fact he didn't have to do that. In the end, he repeatedly invited Zhou Zhe to his celebration banquet, but in the end, Zhou Zhe just said lightly

"You're doing a great job! Don't get too close to me, you should have a world of your own. Do a good job! Don't let your majesty down. Say hello to your mother for me, it's not easy for an old man, and now you're finally getting ahead. ”

Looking at the eaves of the corridor, Zhou Zhe swayed calmly, Su Daosan pursed his lips, and couldn't say a word.

After watching Su Daosan leave, Duan Xiangsi was not angry

If there was no Hou Ye to raise him, how could he be today. ”

Zhou Zhe reprimanded: "You are also a baron now, don't always be open-mouthed, your brothers are still in the commercial street! Go and see, if you can help do some serious business, it is not easy for a brother." ”

Su Daosan's title is his ancestor's title, and it is difficult for him to get together with Zhou Zhe.

And Zhou Zhe's loss was that the emperor's wanton fiefdom in Hedong disrupted his layout. He didn't care much about a Su Daosan, or who took the credit he should have and a large amount of loot, after all, it was not easy to be a brother in the past, and everyone had their own choices.

However, Hedong Road is a springboard for his future troops to enter Henan Province, and if he is completely head-on with the four major factions, he will inevitably be in Henan Province, the central plain of Kyushu.

Li Chi's sub-fiefdom directly made Hedong a sphere of influence for his relatives, and it was difficult for Ma Dabao and Zhan Qili's Dasheng combined transport team to deploy, I am afraid that they would have to kill a few chickens and monkeys, otherwise they would not know the benefits. As for the Cao Yun in Hedong, it is not something they should be involved in, and the candidate has already been found, Ding Bo of Dinghai Pavilion.

Both sides guarantee that at least the future can really be started, one can advance by land and water, and the other is that in case the war lasts for a long time, the double supply line is also relatively safe.
