"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, what does yin and yang mean?"

Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

When the words fell, Wang De was choked by his own breathing and coughed again and again.

Secretly wondering what was wrong with Fang Yuan, why did he speak so impulsively, wasn't he afraid of being scolded by His Majesty?

"If you're sick, take a good rest, don't pass it on to me."

Li Shimin glanced at Wang De and said in a deep voice.

"Small, the villain retires."

Wang De naturally didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly left, and the other palace maids and eunuchs were also called away by him.

In this way, there are only two people left in the imperial study, Xia Yuan and Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't speak, Fang Yuan didn't take the initiative to speak, and the imperial study was terrifyingly quiet.

"What do you mean by driving away the people of the Six Divisions as soon as you come back?"

Li Shimin finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to speak.

He looked at Fang Yuan angrily, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was even greater.

If you want the emperor to take the initiative to say it, is this pampered and arrogant?

"I haven't asked Your Majesty yet, I just left, why did the people of the Sixth Department occupy my shipyard."

Fang Yuan said angrily.

"The sixth department is out of good intentions, and wants to control the direction of the shipyard in order to study a sharp weapon for Datang to go overseas."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Kind?"

"Then why do you want to get rid of Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi and the other management?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

"Their ideas did not match the imperial court, interfered in the direction of the imperial court, and disobeyed management, so they were driven away."

Li Shimin also said in a deep voice.

"Disobedience?"

"Is the shipyard mine or the imperial court?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

"The shipyard is yours of course."

"But the overall direction of the shipyard should be in line with the development of the country."

Li Shimin didn't think about occupying Fang Yuan's shipyard, so he didn't get angry at Fang Yuan's words.

"Your Majesty, do you know that the three steel ships I have built now are ready to go overseas."

"They are built by Lu Xia, Wu Ruyi, Wang Shiyu and others, and their overall direction is in line with the development of the country."

"On the contrary, those officials of the Sixth Ministry, do they really know what kind of ship is in line with the development of the country? Are you sure they're not dead vegetarian meals? ”

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

At the same time, a copy of the record was also produced.

It is the two funds applied for by the six departments in less than half a month after entering the shipyard.

The direction of the funds is clearly marked, but at some point a large sum suddenly disappears.

In the shipyard, or the red brick factory, etc., all the funds are recorded in the flow, and there will be records in various departments.

It is not just the Treasury that decides where all the money goes.

This is Fang Yuan's prevention of internal corruption, and it is also the reason why Qian Zhuang disburses money so quickly.

Because it is possible to see the whereabouts of almost every fund and ensure the integrity of it, this makes Fang Yuan dare to meet the use of funds by major factories.

"They are all elites of various ministries, how can it be a corpse vegetarian meal!"

Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with Fang Yuan's words.

Those officials who are selected are good in their own departments.

There are several of them, he has checked, and they are all members of the outstanding ability.

But after receiving the record handed over by Fang Yuan, Li Shimin's face sank a lot.

A fee of one million suddenly disappeared in the middle of the process, and half a million.

Then another two million expenses were lost in the middle of the journey.

If this record is not wrong, then the officials of the Sixth Department are greedy inside.

"I doubt it!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty's suspicions are naturally right, but I want to tell Your Majesty that the general direction of the shipyard is in line with the direction of the country."

"And after these people from the six departments come in, they don't necessarily necessarily fit the direction of the country, and I don't agree with any of them coming in."

"The three huge steel steamers I use now are the best proof of this, they don't need people who don't know how to point fingers, and the shipyard doesn't need such elites!"

Fang Yuan couldn't say anything.

"I don't have to interfere in the research direction of the shipyard, but the imperial court needs people to enter the shipyard."

"The development of shipyards is a sharp weapon of the state, and without the supervision of the imperial court, problems are prone to occur."

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

Maybe there was something wrong with this group of officials from the Sixth Ministry, but he couldn't agree with Fang Yuan's meaning.

Whether it is the money village in front or the current shipyard, something related to the lifeblood of the imperial court must be under the nose of the imperial court.

Otherwise, the imperial court lacks a sense of security.

"Negotiable?"

Fang Yuan said dissatisfied.

"Can't!"

Li Shimin shook his head.

"I have paid so much for the court, and the court treats me like this?"

Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice.

"Fang Yuan, the court treats you well, and I treat you well."

"I've promised not to interfere in the development of the shipyard, and you're not satisfied?"

Li Shimin said angrily.

Retreating step by step, what was Fang Yuan not satisfied?

"Okay, I see!"

"Is there anything else, I'll retire first!"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Is this trip to Goguryeo, is it going well?"

Li Shimin pondered for a while before speaking.

There were two things he asked Fang Yuan to enter the palace.

One of them was the matter of the ministers impeaching Fang Yuan, and he was under a lot of pressure and had to symbolically scold Fang Yuan.

Another thing is the matter of Goguryeo, and I want to know if the regime of Goguryeo has changed.

Because Fang Yuan was on a boat, Li Shimin and the others had not received news from Goguryeo yet.

"Gao Tianzhi is dead, and his son succeeds as the new king."

"Because Gao Yingliang is young, the Queen Mother Lu Tingmei listens to the government, and there are three ministers who take care of their lives."

Fang Yuan said succinctly.

"In this way, uniting with the Empress Dowager of Goguryeo, encroaching on Goguryeo, and annexing Silla and Baekje is just around the corner?"

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Fang Yuan is also considered to be related to Goguryeo.

remembers that he said before that he supported Gao Tianzhi to ascend the throne and Lu Tingmei as queen.

Now that Goguryeo's power is in the hands of a woman, won't Goguryeo be encroached upon by the Tang Dynasty sooner or later?

"Sorry, I'm not available right now."

"In addition, Lu Tingmei is not a fool, how can she easily let go of power when she gets it?"

Fang Yuan shook his head and said indifferently.

Naturally, Fang Yuan's disagreement was also due to the fact that Gao Yingliang was his son.

Li Shimin will never know this reason in his life, and it is almost impossible for the imperial court to encroach on Goguryeo.

"Are you playing tricks on me?"

Li Shimin frowned and said.

He felt that Fang Yuan was unwilling to cooperate because of the shipyard's affairs.

But it is a matter of great affairs between the two countries, how can such an important matter be played casually?

"No, I'm just telling Your Majesty the situation objectively."

"Is Your Majesty willing to give power to other countries and encroach on your own country?"

Fang Yuan sneered and asked rhetorically.

Li Shimin was a little displeased, but I have to say that what Fang Yuan said was extremely true.

In the past, Lu Tingmei may have relied on Fang Yuan, but after becoming the queen mother, she may not still rely on Fang Yuan.

It's like Gao Tianzhi, who used to flatter Fang Yuan, but after becoming the king, he has changed.

Li Shimin understands this, but he is dissatisfied with Fang Yuan's attitude.

"Your Majesty, I'm really tired, let's retire first!"

Fang Yuan arched his hand, turned around and left.

Li Shimin's brows furrowed again, his face was dissatisfied, but in the end he did not get angry.

Fang Yuan was indeed a little tired.

I feel that what I have done for Li Shimin has not been rewarded.

First he was demoted, and then the shipyard was almost robbed.

There are other things that feel quite unfair.

In the past, Fang Yuan didn't take these things as the same thing in order to be promoted.

Now there is almost no promotion, and there is almost no desire for promotion.

So now it's more about peace of mind, and now he's not happy.

From the beginning of the choice of Mirai Island, this mood has become more and more high, and maybe it is really time for me to go.

But before leaving, you have to make some people unhappy.

Soon, Fang Yuan returned to Fang Mansion in a sedan chair.

As soon as Fang Yuan came out of the sedan chair, he saw Princess Xiangcheng coming in a panic.

"What's wrong?"

Fang Yuan was surprised.

In the past two months, Princess Xiangcheng's absence from the house has caused a lot of trouble.

She had just come back with herself, and she didn't stay in her own house to clarify unnecessary troubles, what did she come to do with herself?

"I, I, I'm pregnant!!"

Princess Xiangcheng said nervously.

Just as she returned home, she suddenly felt a bout of vomiting.

At first, I thought it was just getting off the boat and feeling unwell, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

However, after eating several times in a row, she wanted to vomit, and Princess Xiangcheng was suspicious and hurriedly asked the doctor to come and check it.

I can't find out, I'm more than a month pregnant!

I am a widow, pregnant, and the sky will collapse if it spreads?

The royal family will do anything for the sake of their own reputation, and it will definitely not end well when they wait for themselves.

"You, you're pregnant?!"

Fang Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Naturally, Fang Yuan would not be stupid enough to ask whose child it was.

Whose else could it be other than its own?

"What should I do?"

"Father knows that if I don't talk about it, I will break my leg."

Princess Xiangcheng was so anxious that her face turned white.

"Relax, relax, let me think."

Fang Yuan looked at Princess Xiangcheng's appearance and realized the seriousness of the problem.

Ordinary women are pregnant, and there may be issues of honor, but Princess Xiangcheng is a royal princess and a widow.

Her pregnancy will discredit the face of the royal family, and the royal family will definitely not let such a thing happen, and her abortion is still the lightest punishment.

"Do you want to stay?"

After pondering for a moment, Fang Yuan asked solemnly.

"Yes."

Princess Xiangcheng stared at Fang Yuan and said in a deep voice.

Although she was afraid, although she was worried, she still wanted a child.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to Fang Yuan, but would have directly found a relationship to drain him.

"How about I send you to live on Future Island with an excuse?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Future Island is the place where Fang Yuan will live in seclusion in the future.

The Institute has relocated, and they will conduct research and create a sacred site based on the terrain there.

It's a little bit worse now, but after a month or two, it will change a lot, and after three or four months, you can move there.

Three or four months have passed, and Princess Xiangcheng's belly has not yet protruded, and the situation was relatively stable at that time, and the migration was just right.

"To Future Island?!"

Princess Xiangcheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

She followed Fang Yuan to Future Island this time, and stayed there for a few days, and she liked it a lot.

If it weren't for me, it would have been quite comfortable to live there.

"How?"

Fang Yuan asked.

He also wants Princess Xiangcheng to have a child.

I have too much industry now, and someone will have to take care of it in the future.

Outsiders are outsiders after all, and their own children are the most suitable.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Princess Xiangcheng slowly put her mind at ease.

At this time, she touched her stomach and showed a happy appearance.

Since marrying Xiao Rui, she has never thought that she will have children one day.

It's not that I really don't want to, but I don't want to give Xiao Ruisheng a life, and after his death, I naturally dare not think about it.

But it doesn't mean that she really doesn't want to give birth, like now, she feels quite happy, and she feels like a complete woman.

"I'll take you to Miao Yan to talk about it."

Fang Yuan took Princess Xiangcheng's hand and prepared to go to find Du Miaoyan.

Du Miaoyan is the housemother of the Fang family, and although Princess Xiangcheng is a princess, Du Miaoyan has to say it inside.

This is the rule, no matter what you are, the rules have to be set up, so that there are not so many trivial things.

"I don't need you, I'll talk to Miaoyan myself."

Princess Xiangcheng shook off Fang Yuan's hand.

At this moment, she was a little embarrassed, embarrassed to go with Fang Yuan.

So I feel like it's better to go by myself, and it's nothing for the girls to whisper.

"Well, okay then."

Fang Yuan didn't think much about it and smiled.

The two are like sisters, and they shouldn't be unhappy.

"I went."

Princess Xiangcheng smiled sweetly, put her right hand on her stomach, and left with a cheerful step.

Fang Yuan looked at the back of Princess Xiangcheng leaving, and all the unhappiness in the palace disappeared.

Suddenly, Fang Yuan smiled.

Don't worry about the shipyard, let Li Shimin arrange people to go in.

It should be regarded as a bride price, the bride price of Princess Xiangcheng.

It's worth it.

In the following days, Fang Yuan still did not return to work and did not go to work in the household department.

If someone urges, they say that they are unwell and there is no way to go to work normally now.

During this period, Li Shimin investigated the officials in the shipyard, and sure enough, they were found to be corrupt, so he immediately dismissed them.

Then he arranged for people to enter the shipyard, and arranged ten people in a row Fang Yuan did not stop him, and he didn't say a word.

This surprised Li Shimin.

It also surprised some ministers of the imperial court.

Some people even felt that Fang Yuan was disheartened.

He did not go to the early dynasty, and he did not object to the imperial court arranging for newcomers to enter the shipyard.

Household Department, Gao Shilian Office.

After the early dynasty dispersed, the eldest grandson Wuji came to find Gao Shilian.

"Uncle, Fang Yuan has not come back, which is not conducive to your suppression of him."

The eldest grandson Wuji said while drinking tea.

There are only two uncles and nephews here, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

"He should know this, so he didn't dare to come back."

"How about the three major factories, maybe we can start from there to force him back."

Gao Shilian laughed.

He felt that Fang Yuan didn't go back to work in the household department because he was here.

After all, he was Shangshu before, and now he is a squire, and the change in identity must have embarrassed him.

"We have paid two months' monthly salary in advance, but we have not made a profit until now, and we always feel that there is something we don't know about the three major factories, should we go and see?"

When it comes to the three major factories, the eldest grandson Wuji feels that something is wrong.

Because of the reason for the advance, the three major factories are all paid in the middle of the month to stabilize people's hearts.

But more than a month has passed, and the three major factories have not made any money, which makes Changsun Wuji feel very surprised.

What about the cash cow?

How did he get into the hands of the two of them, but he didn't make a penny.

"The families have not yet started to resume production, and they will be profitable later."

Gao Shilian said disapprovingly.

What he wanted to do more was to suppress Fang Yuan.

Although the three major factories let the two of them pay two months' monthly salary, they are still fine.

"I always feel that something is wrong, I'll go see for myself."

The more the eldest grandson Wuji thought about it, the more wrong it became, and finally decided to go and see for himself.

As for Fang Yuan's return to work, then let his uncle do it.
