Chapter 341: Hongmen Banquet
Li Yunxing looked at the folds in his hand, Liu Zhongqing actually took the initiative to be the invigilator of the imperial examination, he obviously didn't praise the imperial examination before, but now he actually took the initiative to ask for it, which is really interesting.
"Yoo-sama told me a joke, and I just thought it was very funny."
Jinxi secretly pondered in his heart, and he didn't know what joke Lord Liu told to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this.
Su Miaoxue walked in with a food box, she was still learning a series of knowledge about housekeeping before, but now she has specialized in counting, and she has more time.
The two sisters brought back by the prince have left, and now she is the only woman left in the mansion, and she feels that this is a rare opportunity to cultivate a good relationship with the prince.
"I heard that you don't have much appetite at night and eat very little, and I'm afraid that you will be hungry when you are dealing with official business, so I made some pastries."
Li Yunxing looked at her with a smile.
"I heard that you are studying math very hard, do you still have time to prepare for this?"
Su Miaoxue stood aside obediently, leaned down slightly, lay on Li Yunxing's lap, looked up at him, her big eyes flickered, and the whole person looked pitiful.
"I studied math in order to be a useful person, in order to be able to stay by the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am very smart, I know what is the most important thing, how can I give up my roots?"
Li Yunxing pinched her chin and smiled.
"Very well, you can stay here tonight."
When Jinxi heard this, he immediately held his breath and retreated with interest.
Early the next morning, Liu Ruxu announced that he had entered the palace and came to the Jiaofang Palace, and saw that Lord Liu was also here, of course, Qi Ming and Li Yuntian.
The atmosphere in the whole store was very depressing, everyone looked at him, Li Yunxing was in a trance, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he thought he had participated in a three-class trial.
"Today's Jiaofang Hall is really lively, the second brother and the two adults are here, looking at a few of them, they should have something to say to this prince."
Qi Ming was the first to attack.
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually selected a young man from the Dyeing and Weaving Department of Taifu as an envoy to the Dayue Clan, it is really ridiculous, and the intersection with other countries is the internal affairs of my Honglu Temple, how can I let a young man of the Dyeing and Weaving Department Yue Yue Yu Dai, if he makes any jokes in the Dayue Clan, it will be the face of my Wu Dynasty."
Li Yunxing naturally knew that the envoy represented the face of the Wu Dynasty, so he naturally wanted to send those people from Honglu Temple who specialized in this way, he just raised his eyebrows and sat aside, took a sip of tea, and ignored Qi Ming's words.
When Qi Ming saw Li Yunxing's attitude, he only felt angry, and almost shot the case directly.
He was different from Liu Zhongqing, he heard about the Duke of the Dayue clan coming to the Wu Dynasty for the first time, but he didn't care about it at the time, and even felt a little ridiculous.
According to the law, if another country wants to send an envoy over, it must issue a document in advance, ask for permission, and then the two countries will set the time, agree on the route, and determine the personnel, the intermediate process is complicated and cumbersome, but it is all finalized by their Honglu Temple, which is the scope of their duties.
However, Zuvel of the Otsuki clan only sent a telegram, directly finalizing the matter of the princess's arrival, and asked them to come and receive it in person, such a request was simply unheard of.
He originally thought that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came over to ask questions, he would make it clear to him that this matter was not feasible, and he would categorically maintain the rules of Honglu Temple.
Who knew that after waiting for a day, the prince not only came over to ask him about relevant matters, but even directly appointed the envoys, as if he had prepared in advance, yes, even people took the car away in a whole row.
He wanted to stop it, but it was the southeast army and the northwest army that escorted the convoy, and there was even a circle of forbidden troops around the outermost periphery, and he couldn't reach the people inside, so he went to the prince and wanted to warn him that this matter was unreasonable, but the prince didn't see him at all, so he could only watch the convoy go out of the city.
And I don't know what is in the rows of carriages, this development that is not under his control makes him extremely powerless, and Liu Zhongqing also came over to accuse him of letting the envoy's team out of the city so easily.
Thinking with his feet, he also knew that Li Yunxing must have agreed with Zuwei in advance to formulate this situation, and did not give them any chance to refute at all, and besides, there were still forbidden troops in the city, and they were powerless to refute.
It's just that I don't know when he got in touch with Zuvir, Qi Ming thought about it all night, thinking of Lian Zhan's disappearance for a long time, maybe he was going to do it.
"Why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince answer the old minister's question, did he think that Honglu Temple was not worthy of asking about the affairs of the envoys? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not forgotten that Honglu Temple has been established in the previous dynasty, as long as it involves matters related to foreign relations, even the king has to listen to the arrangements of Honglu Temple, not to mention that you are only a prince now. ”
Li Yunxing was drinking tea with a teacup, and when he heard this, he suddenly slammed the teacup on the table, and suddenly the tea splashed everywhere, and the sound of porcelain collision attracted everyone's attention.
"Lord Qi is so bold, what's the point of just being in charge of a Honglu Temple, since you think your orders are more important than this prince's, it is better for you to be the martial emperor directly, not to mention intersecting with the outside, and all internal affairs are also under your control, how about it?"
Qi Ming was taken aback, he did say it seriously just now, borrowing his ten guts, he didn't dare to say that he wanted to be a martial emperor, if it was spread out, it would be a rebellious heart, and it would not be enough for him to die ten times.
"Why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misunderstand the meaning of the old minister, I just think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet ascended the throne, he is still young, and he doesn't know how to intersect with the outside world.
Li Yunxing laughed twice, knowing that his personality was brutal and excessive, and there were still people who dared to say in front of him that it was for the sake of the court.
"Lord Qi, if it is like what you said, there should be no foreign enemies in the Wu Dynasty, why didn't you ask for an envoy to persuade you to surrender when the Huns came over a few days ago? Why are you hiding in the capital like a turtle with a shrunken head, and you still have to bother me to take Lord Liu to personally lead the troops to attack the Huns? ”
Qi Ming was so old, how could he have been so humiliated, pointing at Li Yunxing, so angry that he couldn't speak.
Li Yunxing stared at him tightly and continued.
"If according to what Lord Qi said, you have to find Honglu Temple externally, I don't think the Wu Dynasty needs the four major battalions, just let you talk about the lotus, connect the left and the right, and bless the people of my court, if Lord Qi agrees with my proposal, tomorrow I will issue an order, let all the officials of Honglu Temple go to the border, and let those soldiers go home to farm."
