Chapter Twenty-Four: The Crown Prince Is Wise
The smile on Boss Qin's face was about to overflow, and he said modestly: "I'm a businessman, what kind of demeanor can I have, the prince is laughing." Since it is a friend of the prince, it is my friend of Lao Qin, so naturally I don't mind! ”
You old slippery head, now this is a benefit, and my friend is your friend, you didn't have that attitude when you asked you to take my wine out and buy it.
"Boss Qin is here to want wine this time?"
Boss Qin: "Lord Wang, I won't go around the bend with you in the future, I'm still a little anxious here!" I want to take everything you have here now. ”
Money beckons to me! Li Ke's heart was already happy, and he originally thought that he would have to talk, but he didn't expect this Boss Qin to be so refreshing.
The three Li Jing on the side were also a little stupid, is it really that good? Come up and ask for the goods directly?
Li Ke didn't talk nonsense either, and went straight to the point. "Boss Qin, when do you think I can load the car for you?"
Boss Qin: "It's right now!" The prince has another business and wants to do it with you. ”
And money? Li Ke's eyes glowed with gold, "Boss Qin, you say!" I will fully cooperate! ”
Boss Qin: "This matter is not in a hurry, the old man wonders if this Qingquan brew can be transported out through my caravan in the future." The prince can think about it first, and the old man will talk to the prince in detail the next time he comes. This time it's a bit tight. ”
You think it's quite beautiful, and you still want the exclusive agency, and if you can't say it, you will press my price in the future, Li Ke thought to himself.
"Okay, I'll think about it! Since Boss Qin still has something to do, Xiao Wang won't stay, so I'll ask someone to take you to load the goods now! ”
"Good! Then I'll take my leave first! I hope the prince will think about it. ”
Boss Qin said and followed Li Ke's people away, arranged Boss Qin, and Li Ke took everyone back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
At this time, the feast was ready, and everyone was seated.
Li Ke took this opportunity to give Li Jing a wave of publicity, and how popular his goods were in the market.
Everyone was staggered, so uncomfortable, Sunan Ge was slightly drunk, and he stared at Li Ke's eyes without taking his eyes away.
On the other side, inside Chang'an City.
"Taifu! How good is that! ”
The crown prince Li Ming was pacing back and forth in the Yongqian Palace, and there was an old man in his sixties standing under the stage.
This person is the prince's concubine Zhang Yuan, who is also the prince's uncle.
"Your Royal Highness, don't worry, then Wang Miaomiao loves to kneel, let her kneel, her grandfather is a hussar general, and he should be divided when he goes out to guard the border pass! Your decision is not wrong, and Your Majesty would be glad to know that you know that you are good at what you do. Zhang Yuan bowed and said.
Li Ming stopped and asked, "Really?" However, General Wang is already old, so it is not appropriate for me to do so. ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, this general Wang should be strong and brave, and even His Majesty praised him for not having a wrong decision with you." Zhang Yuan reassured.
Li Ming said with confidence: "Okay, you can call someone to go quickly, Wang Miaomiao will help her up, send her back, and then bring some rewards." ”
"The old minister will go." With that, Zhang Yuan retreated.
Because of Emperor Jing's trip, he claimed to be in poor health and handed over the government to the crown prince Li Ming.
also knows that Li Ming, the son, lacks fire in the handling of government affairs, and he always does things according to orders on weekdays, and rarely has his own opinions when he encounters things.
Occasional suggestions, but most of them are useless, and I haven't really thought about how to deal with it.
Therefore, Emperor Jing took the opportunity to bring Sunan Ge to inspect Li Ke this time, wanting to see if he could take charge of himself after leaving his command.
But obviously no, Li Ming is not an emperor's talent, but he has the posture of becoming a good minister.
Emperor Jing basically didn't have to bother with what he was told to do, but once he was allowed to make his own ideas, his decisions would be full of loopholes.
His uncle Zhang Yuan is also a good old man, no matter what the prince decides, he is brainless, blocking all those negative news.
Over time, the prince decided that the decisions he made were correct, and occasionally there was reflection, and Zhang Yuanyuan would go back.
This time, Emperor Jing traveled for a long time, and Li Ming was in charge of the government alone, and he also did a lot of foolish things.
Take General Wang's case as an example, Li Jing had planned to let him become a general, but he never found a suitable candidate to replace General Wang's position.
has been thinking about it, and it coincides with the border during this period because of the marriage with the Northern Wilderness, which has not yet been negotiated, and the Northern Wilderness and the will to be close to each other is not strong.
Therefore, there are occasional disputes at the border, but because Sunan Ge is still on Emperor Jing's side, they are all petty fights.
There is no need to send a general like General Wang Lao over at all, and besides, there are already generals on the border, so there is no need to send the elderly General Wang to go.
And this time, Emperor Jing didn't solve General Wang's matter before he traveled, and he also wanted to see if this Li Ming could choose a suitable person to come out.
Who knew that Li Ming still sent the old generals to the border, how could this not provoke the criticism of the ministers.
On this day, many officials of the imperial court, following the matter of General Wang, wanted to challenge the crown prince.
"General Wang has fought for the country for many years, and there are many old wounds on his body, and now he is seventy, his son died in battle, and only one granddaughter is left. Today, no matter what, we have to find a way to keep General Wang in Chang'an City. ”
"That's right! There is also the previous flood in Hebei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been vague, and the people can't wait. ”
"The land grabbing incident on the outskirts of Beijing has not yet yielded any results."
……
The ministers were gossiping outside the main hall, and they all wanted to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask for an explanation.
didn't think about it, after everyone went in, they didn't even see the face of the prince.
I saw Mrs. Zhang in the hall, with his hands crossed, waiting for everyone to come in.
"Taifu Zhang, may I ask where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is."
Mrs. Zhang stroked his beard and said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I have been working on state affairs recently, and I am not feeling well, so I can't come to today's meeting, if you have anything to do, you can convey it to me." Or you can write it as a recital. ”
"Zhang Yuan, Your Majesty is also in poor health, so he handed over state affairs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now he doesn't come to discuss matters just because he is tired, I'm afraid this is not what His Majesty wants to see." Doctor Huang Liang said.
"Lord Huang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not ignoring state affairs, but he can't come to discuss matters because he is tired. Why do you invite Your Majesty out! Zhang Yuan immediately replied.
"You...... I won't tell you, I want to see His Royal Highness the Prince. Lord Huang was a little anxious.
Zhang Yuan didn't pay attention to him at all, and only threw down a sentence: "If you have something, I can convey it on your behalf, or hand it over." ”
Everyone was very dissatisfied when they saw Zhang Yuan's arrogance, but because of his status and power, almost no one dared to be tough with him, so they could only swallow this breath.
