Chapter 19: The Great Prince
Listening to Li Anmin's muttering.
Zhou Qixin was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask.
It's just silently totaling in my heart the meaning of these words.
In the subsequent journey, Li Anmin has been immersed in "One Hundred and Eight Ways to Make a Fortune" and can't extricate himself, as if he has found some treasure.
By the time he finished reading the book, he was already outside the capital.
But looking at the more and more familiar city in front of him, Li Anmin's mood became depressed.
When he returned to the city and saw the chaotic scene and the people who had no food to eat and could only go to the streets to beg, Li Anmin's mood became extremely heavy.
"I've always called myself a wise man."
Li Anmin sighed lightly and said, "But now it seems that I am still a little superficial." ”
Hear this.
Zhou Qi hurriedly came to his side: "Your Majesty must not be presumptuous, if it weren't for you, the world would still be in the midst of war." ”
"Sooner or later, the war will end."
"Without me, Li Anmin, there will be others."
Li Anmin lifted the curtain and looked outside: "But under my governance, the hardships of the people are real. ”
"Look at our road, and then look at our so-called pavilions, which point is comparable to Wolong County?"
"Even compared to it, the county seat of Wolong County is more like the capital of a dynasty......
Zhou Qi wanted to refute it.
But for a while, he couldn't think of any reason to refute it.
He really doesn't look down on Wu Huanian, but he also has to admit that Wolong County is indeed very well built by Wu Huanian.
"Shangjing is so big."
"There are always some places that are not well maintained."
Zhou Qi held back for a long time before he came up with this sentence to relieve Li Anmin's heart.
But after Li Anmin heard it, he became even more melancholy.
"Shangjing City is bigger than Wolong County, yes."
"But the world is much bigger than Wolong County......"
Shangjing is the capital of the Great Qianguo.
It is not an exaggeration to describe the saying that the wealth of the world has entered Beijing.
Wolong County has only one county, and the tax revenue is only the tax of this county.
Isn't that more ironic than that?
Li Anmin didn't want to talk anymore, closed his eyes, and leaned against the wall of the car.
Looking at his appearance, Zhou Qi opened his mouth, and finally did not say what he wanted to say.
It's noon.
Li Anmin and Zhou Qi finally returned to the Imperial City Dormitory.
Faded away from a dirty relic and put on a brand new robe of the Son of Heaven.
Businessman Li Zhen became the emperor of the Great Dry in the blink of an eye!
Zhou Qi also changed, from Mr. Bookkeeper to the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, the general manager of the Great Interior, and the commander of bad people.
After getting dressed neatly, Li Anmin asked casually, "Where is the prince?" ”
Zhou Qi replied truthfully: "I heard that I am discussing with Lord Shangguan and a few of them in the front hall. ”
"Deliberations?"
Li Anmin raised his eyebrows: "He still has business?" ”
Before that.
His son had never asked about state affairs except for causing trouble.
What's going on now?
Go out on your own and suddenly grow up?
"This kid even knew how to discuss state affairs with the minister, I really didn't expect ......"
A flash of surprise flashed in Li Anmin's eyes: "Let's go, go with me and see what this kid says to the ministers." ”
Zhou Qi followed Li Anmin's footsteps, followed the path, and went straight to the Manna Palace.
……
Now.
Inside the Temple of Manna.
A young man who looks six or seven points similar to Li Anmin is sitting on a small chair temporarily placed next to the dragon chair peeling oranges.
Shangshu's left servant shot Fang Changduan, Shangshu's right servant shot Shangguan Yuanji, Zhongshu Ling Du Qianhe, and Jin Wuwei general Cheng Jinzhong all stood under the hall.
"When this prince asks you, how many of you say!"
Li Wenqian glanced at several people: "If this prince becomes the emperor, can he surpass the merits established by his father?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Fang Changduan's body.
They were obviously intending to force Fang Changduan to speak.
Seeing everyone's eyes, Fang Changduan scolded his mother in his heart.
Is this a casual thing?
said that it could be exceeded, that is, to offend Li Anmin, and when Li Anmin came back, he would definitely have to settle accounts with him.
But if it can't be said, it will offend the prince, and even be labeled as a belittling prince.
It can be said that this is an errand that Zhu Bajie is not human when he looks in the mirror.
At this time, Li Wenqian's eyes also fell on him: "Master Fang, you might as well talk about it." ”
"Uh......"
Fang Changduan's face was full of bitterness, and he said: "Your Majesty's merits can be called eternal, and nine times out of ten it is to have no ancients before and no one to come, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only needs to rest assured and take the road laid by His Majesty." ”
Anyway, they all have to offend one, so it's better to simply offend the young man in front of you.
After all, Li Anmin will not abdicate, he is just a prince after all.
As for whether he can inherit the throne in the future, it has something to do with his long-term strength.
Whether he will survive until then is uncertain.
"Humph!"
Li Wenqian snorted coldly, grabbed a petal of orange and threw it into his mouth: "Anyone who has never been before or after is a fart!" ”
"Compared with him, this prince was born in the wrong era."
"After all, only in the era of chaos in the world is the time for good men to make contributions."
"It's a pity that Prince Ben was born in this era of peace, and he finished all the battles that should be fought."
"Speaking of which, this old man is really greedy, he has done everything, what will I do when I become a son?"
Li Wenqian muttered indignantly while eating oranges: "If Prince Ben is allowed to exchange with him, Prince Ben will definitely do better than him, at least he won't let Beihu chase him around back then, let alone fall into the ditch like that kind of embarrassment!" ”
"Hey!"
"Why are you all dumb?"
Seeing that several people in the venue closed their mouths and lowered their heads.
Li Wenqian raised his eyebrows and grinned, "You all think what this prince said is right, right?" ”
"Haha, Prince Ben knows that you will be on the side of Prince Ben."
"Don't worry, there will be meat to eat with this prince."
"Wait for that old man to give the throne to Prince Ben, and Prince Ben promises to let you all go further!"
The audience still didn't speak, their heads bowed.
Seeing this scene, Li Wenqian was a little unhappy: "What's the matter with you, give me a reaction, this prince wants to make you a big official!" Hey, asleep? Wake up! ”
"Cheng Jinzhong, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing with Prince Ben? Eye discomfort or what's wrong? ”
Cheng Jinzhong: "......"
"Hiss......"
Li Wenqian shrunk his neck: "Why is it so cold in this palace today." ”
"Is it cold?"
"Why don't I think?"
Hear the familiar voice.
Li Wenqian's body trembled suddenly.
He turned his head slowly, and saw the handsome face that was extremely familiar.
"Father, father, father? Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”
This person is none other than his father, Li Anmin.
