One day later, their group took turns off, and Li Siye went home directly wearing cloth back armor, with a thousand cattle knives around his waist, standing at the gate of the courtyard, and smiled at Li Mei'er: Mei'er, come and see! “

"Brother has made a thousand cows in the prince's inner rate, look at it, whether he is majestic or not, whether he is handsome or not!"

Li Mei'er didn't run over, but the two old maids hurriedly stepped forward and praised him: "Ah Lang really fits and is really majestic in this armor, I don't look like a guard at all, but like a general guarding the door in Daming Palace!" ”

"Hmm," Li Siye nodded, and walked through the door, where Mei'er was holding his repaired slingshot and shooting stones at the pigeon that landed on the eaves.

He pressed his hands on her shoulders, turned her body right, lowered his head and asked, "Don't play first, take a good look at your brother, whether he is handsome or not, and whether he is majestic or not." ”

Only then did Li Mei'er pay attention to him, and said perfunctorily: "Well, it's very majestic, and you can be a general." ”

Li Siye was very dissatisfied with this answer, but he couldn't raise the standard of prestige in Li Mei'er's heart, so he had to go back to the house and take off the armor.

On the night he returned home, the dinner was very rich, Li Siye went out to buy preserved fruits and meat, and also bought dough for soup cakes, and brought him to buy a jar of wine.

When Li Siye was eating, he instructed the two maids to let them come over with chopsticks to eat, but the two refused to come, just stood and served, saying that when the master was eating, the slaves could not be served, otherwise it would be a violation of the rules, and it would be a violation of etiquette.

He didn't think about it so deeply, and he couldn't imagine that a simple problem of eating could be on the platform to this extent. When a person lives in a certain society, he needs to obey everything and all the rules of that society, and all the rules cannot be changed, and this does not only involve apostasy.

After Li Siye and Mei'er had eaten, the two old maids went to eat, and the two hid in the west wing with their rice bowls, talking and whispering.

"I heard that our Ah Lang is also poor and has never been an official before."

"Oh, no wonder, I don't even understand the reason why slaves and maids can't eat with their masters, such a master really has no rules, and it's far worse than the Cui family who worked in the past."

Li Siye stood outside the courtyard, heard the conversation between the two, and smiled helplessly, it was not that others had to adapt, it seemed that he had to adapt.

In the dead of night, Li Siye was lying on the wooden couch, and Li Mei'er, who had a fleshy little face, was lying beside him, making a slight snoring sound.

Li Mei'er woke up and turned around, and saw Li Siye looking up at the ceiling, she asked curiously, "Brother, why don't you sleep?"

"I can't sleep, I'm thinking about things." He stared at him for a while, and suddenly asked Li Mei'er: "These two old maids, are they still reliable?"

"It should be reliable."

Li Siye asked again: "Do they have any suspicious behaviors, such as trying to find money everywhere, such as talking and doing things behind your back."

Li Mei'er shook her head: "There shouldn't be."

Li Siye finally asked: "Do you think their performance after I came home is much different from their usual performance?"

This is a very critical issue, and the two old maids don't blame Li Siye for nitpicking.

"It's a little different, but it's not big."

"Very good," this is the answer Li Siye wants, Li Mei'er is still young, and he has no ability to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, he must take care of this pass, and never allow people with bad intentions to appear in his house, which is why he is willing to hire these two old maids.

Early the next morning, Li Siye set off after the curfew ended and headed for the East Palace of the Imperial City. He no longer needed to be accompanied by a eunuch, and the route was already roughly clear, but the whole journey was too far, and he walked for more than half an hour before he arrived at the Jiafu Gate in the East Palace.

The people at the gate of the East Palace saw him take out the token with their own eyes, and then let him enter the city gate, which was the case for three city gates in a row.

He came directly to the prince's right inner rate mansion to make a point, and the inner rate Cao Jue and Changshi Changchun were not there, and only one deputy was sitting in the main hall and exercising his powers instead of the inner rate. After he reported his name above, he went to the duty room to wait.

A group of people looked worriedly in the direction of the Garter Hall, standing in the doorway and whispering. Li Siye was curious, walked over and asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know." The person who answered him was still standing on tiptoe: "I heard that the prince has a gloomy face since he came back from the last court, and whoever comes to him will be scolded, and now he has called all the rates and Zhan Shi to the Jiade Hall to discuss, something must have happened."

Li Siye also followed everyone to watch in front of the window for a while, and then returned to the duty room to sit idly.

No matter how big something happens to the prince, they don't need to worry about it, the prince has Zhan Shi by his side, as well as guests and other think tanks, even if they really want to contribute, I'm afraid they won't be able to take their turn.

The crown prince Li Ying was sitting in the Jiade Hall at the moment, the gloomy color on his face was even thicker, and his naturally gloomy face was probably made up of this long-term worry.

He looked up at Zhan Shi below, the guests, and the military attachés of the East Palace, who didn't have the slightest idea at all except looking at their toes.

Li Ying slapped the Quzu case heavily, pointed at everyone and asked, "You guys are talking!" Even if it's a bad idea, I'll come up with one. ”

Zhan Shi must stand up and speak at this time. The four guests of the crown prince Li Ying were all old scholars, and when they asked about etiquette and classics, the old masters could also answer each other fluently. But as for the problem of arrears in financial use, the pedants are all laymen, and it is better to know better about him.

"Your Highness, the use of the East Palace in the first half of the year is within a controllable range, even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household come to check the accounts, there is no major problem. It's just that in the last three months, His Royal Highness has frequently organized polo tournaments and purchased good horses from all over the country, and the number of horses in the palace stable has long exceeded the quota, and the staffing has also been exceeded. That's why I owe a lot of money in the treasury of Taifu Temple, a total of 6.3 million yuan, which is not a small amount, Your Highness. ”

Li Ying said with a calm brow: "I know all this!" I'm asking you to figure it out, figure it out! Oh my Zhan thing! You don't talk to each of you!"

"Your Highness," Zhan Shi hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and said with his hands crossed, "For now, we can only find a middleman to pull out the surplus horses in the stable and sell them, so that we can fill some of the vacancies."

As soon as Zhan Shi mentioned selling horses, Li Ying's head became bigger, these good horses in the stable were all good horses that he had searched for from all over the world, how could he be willing to sell them, not to mention that this season is the moment when the horse market is falling and the price is depressed, and these good horses in the stable want to exchange for urgent money, they must be sold cheaply!
