What made him resign was not only the discord between the emperor and Li Xingchen's father and son.

There is also the imperial court, there are a bunch of corrupt officials, and the prince and queen have a lot of vicious thoughts.

The only way to solve these messes is for Li Xingchen to return to the capital, otherwise this kind of smoky miasma will stimulate him mentally exhausted, and the pressure can be imagined.

"Prime Minister, you are eighty this year, why did you come to Lingzhou with the emperor Lao'er at such an old age?"

Eighty? Jae almost fell off his horse in fright.

He's only sixty-two this year, so why does he look like he's eighty?

"When you're older, you should run around less and buy more supplements to make up for it." Li Xingchen laughed.

The prime minister said that maybe he worked too hard, so he looked nearly twenty older than his actual age.

No, I have to resign as soon as possible.

It's better not to go back to the capital this time, stay in Lingzhou, soak in hot springs all day long, drink tea, mix behind the ass of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and have a lot of money.

Tut.

I don't know if the three princes are still short of people.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the old minister has a question, I don't know whether to ask it or not."

"But it doesn't hurt to ask."

"That's right, Lao Chen has a distant relative, no job, but he is a bright and upright person, and he has been honest all his life, I wonder if you have any official and half-post vacancies here? The kind of position that is more idle, don't get up so early every day like the morning court. ”

"If there is, please trouble the third prince to leave a vacancy for the old minister."

Li Xingchen held back a smile, isn't this distant relative of his referring to himself?

"There is no vacancy that is too idle, but recently there is a job compiling books, with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, and the welfare package is to be able to soak in the free hot springs four times a month, and to give various rewards from time to time, I wonder if your distant relatives can be competent?"

The prime minister's eyes lit up, and he completely made up his mind not to return to the capital.

And Li Xingchen recently happened to have an idea, re-compiling some popular science knowledge in the most easy-to-understand words and distributing it to the people for free, so that they can have a mental improvement.

He didn't find a suitable talent for a while, and it just so happened that Li Zhen and the prime minister came, so could he let go of this opportunity!

"Yes, yes!" Jae Lian nodded repeatedly.

With a monthly salary of 20,000 copper coins, he worked as the prime minister of the imperial court for nearly half a year, and he was deducted from time to time.

Following the three princes, they can really eat and drink spicy food.

"I hope that the third prince will stay with my relative, and when he finishes solving the matter at hand, he will follow the third prince."

The prime minister was trembling with excitement, and he was completely determined to stay in Lingzhou.

"Ugh." Li Xingchen sighed, "It's a pity that it's your relative, if you come to this position, the monthly salary will be 50,000." ”

"What?" The prime minister shouted out, and the hand holding the horse rope unconsciously pulled the horse hard, and his eyes were shocked, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

A monthly salary of 50,000 yuan is really nothing to Li Xingchen, and he is not joking.

Fifty thousand a month is less than the power of the prime minister.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you love me very much." The prime minister was immediately moved, if someone else said this, the prime minister would definitely not believe it, but it was Li Xingchen who said this, and the nature was different.

In his heart, even if Li Xingchen is stripped of his imperial status, he will always be His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

"Then it's decided, I'll keep the position for your relative, 20,000 a month."

Immediately, the prime minister hesitated again, "This..."

The difference between 20,000 and 50,000 made him want to immediately tell Li Xingchen that it was himself who was going to take office, not a relative.

But he is still the prime minister of the imperial court, and Li Zhen will definitely not allow him to stay in Lingzhou, and this matter cannot be leaked out for the time being.

In case he hasn't resigned yet, he told Li Xingchen here, so Li Xingchen accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, and after Li Zhen found out, what should Li Zhen do if he wants to kill the prime minister?

Li Xingchen looked at his expression and wanted to laugh, understanding what he was worried about.

A few days later, the capital.

At this time, public opinion had arisen among the people of the capital.

"I heard that two days ago, His Majesty ordered Yan Dabai, the newly appointed commander of the forbidden army, to transport cotton clothes? What is a padded coat? ”

"I don't know, I only heard that it is very warm, it seems that His Majesty secretly planted it in other cities, and secretly let the embroidery girl make it, and then secretly transported it back to the capital, wanting to surprise our people."

After this public opinion came out, most of the people in the capital changed their disappointment with Li Zhen and became grateful.

After Yan Dabai went to Miaozhou to transport back the cotton clothes made by the embroidery girl, public opinion exploded, and they were speculating about when they could buy it.

However, no one expected that the cotton clothes would be stolen on the night they were just shipped back.

When the news came back to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Zhen was furious and turned the table in the guest room upside down on the spot.

"Waste. A bunch of waste. Is Yan Dabai eating? "Li Zhen is about to explode.

The cotton was transported from outside the state to Miaozhou, and after the embroidery girl sewed the cotton clothes, Yan Dabai escorted them back to the capital in Miaozhou.

It has been cheered and looked forward to by most of the people in Beijing.

However, there was no problem in any link, it had to be stolen in Yan Dabai's hands, could Li Zhen not be angry?

The spies who came to report knelt in front of the door and trembled with fear.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger, stop your anger! When we found out, all we had to do was steal a truckload of cotton clothes. "The spies couldn't speak.

"Who? Who broke the law and stole the cotton clothes of the guards of the forbidden army? Li Zhen asked angrily.

Could it be that not only has the morale of his own people declined, but even the prestige of the forbidden army has also declined?

Li Zhen laughed angrily, just a cart of cotton clothes, is this a question of how much is lost?

Even if a cotton coat is stolen, it is someone who has the intention of stealing royal things, and it is a big problem that does not take me as the emperor seriously.

Although the cotton clothes belong to Li Xingchen, they will be sold in the name of cotton clothes shops in the future.

But the problem is that the cotton clothes are guarded by the forbidden army, and losing a cart is equivalent to slapping him in the face as an emperor.

Originally, I wanted to rely on this wave to win the favor of the people, but now it seems that stealing chickens will not make it a loss.

I'm afraid that now the whole capital is talking about itself, not only did it not get the reputation it wanted, but it also became a laughing stock.

Li Zhenqi's teeth were chattering.

"The emperor forgives his sins, calms his anger, and takes care of the dragon's body." Li Zhen, who was extremely angry, was too terrifying, just like a beast that wanted to eat people.

The spy turned pale, and only after realizing it did he realize that it was the problem of cotton clothes, but the problem of his emperor's face.

Li Zhen was originally a very good-looking person.

"What measures did Yan Dabai do?" Li Zhen asked in a deep voice.

The rebellious ministers and thieves keep making things one after another, who is behind it this time?
