"Lord Wang, you are so young, why don't you hurry up and marry a few more concubines to pass on the lineage and give birth to a few princes and grandchildren, do you have to reach the emperor's age and have a weak heart, so that the heirs are difficult?" Xiao Chen was out of the way, and he said anything disrespectful.

This is because he and Chen Jisheng have studied Li Shi's personality and temperament, and came to the conclusion that the more straightforward you are to talk to him, the better!

If you are not afraid to say the wrong thing, you are afraid not to speak.

And now that Xiao Chen has clearly joined his camp, he must show enough sincerity.

This is called talking with the blogger, depending on the discernment; Speak with the nobles, depending on the situation.

"What you kid said today is enough to chop off several of your heads." Li Shi let out a sigh of relief.

"The minister is not afraid, these words are like a fish in his throat, he doesn't vomit or feel unhappy, and these words can only be said to the prince!" Xiao Chen is really not afraid, he is about to go to Northern Xinjiang to die, and he is still afraid of a fart?

"I heard that Chen Jisheng is now by your side, is there such a thing?" Li Shi suddenly asked.

"Yes, I have been taking care of him since he was dismissed, I actually don't know him, and I am very annoying to him, but the queen entrusted me to take care of him...... Do you know the prince? He had also worked as a staff officer under Murong Heng's old man before, and his relationship with the queen was also good. "Xiao Chen really didn't hide anything from Li Shi.

"Oh...... I see. Li Shi seemed to have just knew, "Chen Jisheng is a national scholar, you must treat him well." ”

"I treated him well, but he didn't appreciate it, the whole stubborn head is brainless! Otherwise, I'll just send him to you, the prince? Xiao Chen said.

"Nonsense, how can I take in a prisoner!" Li Shi scolded with a smile.

"Chen Jisheng, the prince of the criminal official, can't take him in, but the prince can find a way to take care of those who were implicated and dismissed by the prince." Xiao Chen said.

"Oh?" Li Shi's eyes flashed.

"The emperor is wise, he asked the officials to dismiss these officials, but he didn't demote them, that is what it means to be activated at any time." Xiao Chen said.

The difference between dismissal and demotion, that's a big deal.

It may seem that dismissal is far more serious than demotion, but it is not necessarily true.

The dismissal of an official is the removal of all positions and the removal of the official to the end, but in many cases his fame and rank will be retained.

If one day the emperor suddenly wants to use him, as long as he makes a will, he can be reinstated immediately.

But demotion is not good, for example, a second-grade official is demoted to a fifth-grade, then if you want to restore your original title, you have to slowly rise one level at a time, and then promote to the second grade, it will be very difficult.

It may sound unreasonable, but it's just the way it is.

"Then isn't this buying people's hearts?" Li Shi agreed very much in his heart, but said so.

"Of course not, how do you know which one the emperor will reactivate? Therefore, the prince only did this to soothe the hearts of the scholars for the emperor, but not to buy people's hearts. Xiao Chen said.

"Well, that makes sense, I'll think about it." Li Shi really wanted to talk to Xiao Chen for a while, but with the identity of the two of them, coupled with the current situation, it was obviously not suitable for the two to talk secretly for too long.

Because in the palace, there are also secret agents placed by the emperor.

When he came out of the palace, it was already the hour, and Xiao Chen didn't go back to the palace, but returned home directly.

After Chen Jisheng left, only Liu Xiangqin was left in the house, because the army was full of men, and it was very inconvenient for her to follow a woman, so Chen Jisheng asked her to stay first, and then left with Xiao Chen and Duan Ling'er.

Liu Xiangqin automatically assumed the position of Xiao Chen's housekeeper, and as Xiao Chen's eldest cousin, she took care of all the big and small things in the family in an orderly manner......

Xiao Chen praised her shrewdness and ability, saying that Liu Xiangqin is knowledgeable and rational, but she is much stronger than Wang Xifeng, and she is my little cherished spring.

Liu Xiangqin doesn't know who Xichun is?

But Brother Xiao usually has endless strange words, and she has long been used to it......

"Xiangqin, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Xiao Chen really has something to do with her.

"Brother Xiao, why are you talking like that? Through the raw points, you can tell what you want! Liu Xiangqin said with a smile.

"Please help, naturally be polite...... I'd like to ask you to negotiate a business for me. Xiao Chen said.

"What business?" Liu Xiangqin was surprised.

"Big business." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

Early the next morning, in front of the Taihexiang ready-to-wear store in the most prosperous area of Fengyang City, two teenagers who looked a little strange came.

It's strange because these two teenagers are also too handsome, as if they came down from a painting, but they are much more handsome than Xiao Dan in the big and small drama troupes in Fengyang City.

Many people passing by were amazed and stopped to watch, mainly because these two people had extraordinary temperaments and didn't look like dramas, so they didn't dare to come forward to harass.

As soon as I came in, I wanted to find the boss Shi Mingtao directly, the guy asked the two high surnames, but they refused to report it, one of the fierce big-eyed young men said that you are not worthy of asking my name at all, and quickly let Shi Mingtao come out to pick up the guests!

These two are naturally Duan Ling'er and Liu Xiangqin, who are disguised as men.

The guys didn't dare to slack off when they saw this momentum, and hurriedly went in to report, and after a while, a big fat man walked out with a shy stomach.

After looking at the two of them but not knowing each other, he arched his hand and said, "Which son of the adult's mansion are the two?" Forgive me for being clumsy, but I don't know Jing. ”

"It doesn't matter who we are, it's the business that matters." Duan Ling'er said.

"Then please sit down and talk in detail, come on, serve tea!" Shi Mingtao is an old oilman, and at a glance, he felt that the two of them were extraordinary, and they must be either rich or expensive, so they were extremely polite to the two.

"Is this a place to talk about business? Is there a secluded place? Duan Ling'er frowned.

"Oh? Yes, yes, please come with me! Shi Mingtao understood that these two were here to talk about secret business.

took the two of them into the back room, ordered the tea, and retreated from everyone, and then bowed his hand again, "But I don't know what the two of you have to teach?" ”

"My eldest brother wants to buy some cotton cotton cloth and extremely thick coarse cloth cotton clothes from Boss Shi." Liu Xiangqin didn't say a word of nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"I'm afraid you've misunderstood, right? We are a ready-to-wear store, but we don't sell those coarse cotton clothes, and there is no cotton cotton cloth...... But I don't know Brother Ling's surname? ”

"My eldest brother's surname is Xiao." Liu Xiangqin said.

"Surname Xiao?" Shi Mingtao picked up the tea and blew it slowly, and said secretly in his heart, there are many people surnamed Xiao in Fengyang City, and he knows a lot, but he doesn't know who it is?

"Xiao of Xiao Wucheng." Liu Xiangqin said.

"Who?" Shi Mingtao just drank a sip of tea, and when he heard this, he was shocked and squirted out.

"How many Xiao Wucheng are there in the world?" Liu Xiangqin covered her mouth and chuckled, and said in her heart, Brother Xiao, you have such a big reputation, and you have shocked people.

Shi Mingtao was not shocked, he was frightened!

Isn't Xiao Wucheng Xiao Chen?

How did he know I was a smuggler?

It's not good to be targeted by him!

He's not here to do business with me, he's here to steal things.

He even dared to rob the war horses of the military department, and Gong Shouli's house dared to copy!

I, the distant nephew of the Queen Mother, am afraid that I will not be spared......
