"My father...... What's wrong with my father, how can he be involved with all this mess of taxes!"

Xiao Wan'er was not happy and glared at Li Ran.

"The princess doesn't know. ”

Li Ran's gaze swept around the Fang Shi present, and said to himself: "In the second year of that earth-shattering "big event", the current empress let Emperor Murong Jun take on the position of "Imperial National Teacher"——"

"And after his old man took over, the first thing he did was to lead the hundreds of monks of the Shendao Prison to go thousands of miles into the southern provinces to open up the spiritual field, explore the spiritual vein, and mobilize tens of thousands of monks to organize a nationwide survey, and the existing means of production of the spiritual field will be uniformly distributed and managed by the imperial court.

"Yes, Xiaodao is fortunate to participate in this matter as Emperor Murong Jun's deputy, and he has been honored so far. The old Taoist looked emotional.

"But...... My father is not in the palace, what is he doing all this? Xiao Wan'er said suspiciously, although she also knew that her father was a great man, she would not personally do such a lowly act of farming and clearing the wasteland.

"Does the princess still remember the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that the minister told you these days? If you compare the characters of the story, then Emperor Murong Jun is undoubtedly Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu who has worked hard in it. ”

Li Ran sighed slightly.

"Zhuge Liang...... It's not majestic at all, it's old-fashioned. Xiao Wan'er shook her head: "It's still Zhao Zilong's little brother!"

Li Ran smiled dumbly and said: "But without Zhuge Liang running the national affairs behind his back, Zhao Zilong can only be a warrior, and he can't become a generation of famous generals in Weizhen Bafang." ”

After speaking, he said: "After Emperor Murong Jun made this move, he cultivated three times as many spiritual fields as there are, and personally selected spiritual farmers, guarded and cultivated, and in just one year, the output of spiritual rice in the country has doubled sharply, solving the problem of food shortage caused by the previous great expedition to the Ice Country. ”

Similarly, due to the gradual abundance of food, he liberated nearly 10 million agricultural laborers, many of whom chose to practice martial arts and join the army, laying the foundation for the current majesty's imperial expedition ten years later, sweeping away the barbarians. ”

"Wow, hearing you say that, I worship my father even more!" Xiao Wan'er's eyes were starry.

"Yes. Li Ran nodded, and said:

"It's a pity, God is jealous of talents, Comrade Murong's land reform work is only half done, when he is ready to clean up the selfish practice of some Fangshi families in China, he will travel westward with a crane, and his soul will return to the fairy world, so he can end up in this situation. ”

"Then in that case, why don't we report to the mother emperor and let her eradicate these disobedient families?"

Xiao Wan'er said again.

"It's useless, after more than ten years of development, from the local government to the imperial court, the interests around these spiritual fields and spiritual mines are intertwined and extremely complex, and they will be unclear for a while, not to mention that there is a big man at the top. ”

Li Ran sneered.

"Big shot, who is it?, who is so bold!" Xiao Wan'er's eyes widened, with a fierce look, in the little girl's heart, if she dared to steal the food of the court, she would steal her Xiao Wan'er's rations!

Li Ran looked at the old Xuanxin who was speechless and said, "Dao Chief, the princess has asked, do you want to say it?"

The old Taoist of Xuanxin trembled when he heard this, opened his mouth, closed it again, and turned into a long sigh.

"Since the Taoist chief doesn't say it, the national teacher will directly tell the princess that this big man is the prime minister of the dynasty, Zhang Ningfu!"

Li Ran's eyes were like electricity, and his words were sonorous.

When the whole audience heard what he said, their bodies trembled, and they didn't dare to come out.

"You don't need to be afraid, I believe that you are all innocent people with clean sleeves and one heart to the Tao, and there are some things that you can't do anything about, even if you report it, with the character of Your Majesty today, you and your family will all suffer, and for Zhang Ningfu, at most, he will cut off one of his arms, and he has to be a ghost for the dead. ”

Li Ran said lightly.

"National Teacher!"

Looking at the young man in front of him who was like a river and had extraordinary knowledge, the old face of the old man was full of excitement, and at this moment, he seemed to see the shadow of the legendary man on the other party's body!

Suddenly, he stepped forward, knelt down on the ground and said: "Dare to ask the national teacher, I am willing to do the great business that Emperor Murong Jun did not accomplish back then?

As soon as he said this, hundreds of royal soldiers around him responded, kneeling down and petitioning in unison.

It seems that there are some things that have been pressing on the hearts of these Taoist priests for a long, long time.

"Uh...... Let's get up first, let's get up first!"

Li Ran laughed dryly, "This kind of thing is a big matter, let's come to Japan, in this way, Daoist Xuanxin, you will copy a copy of the income and expenditure of Lingtian in recent years, and I will go back to sort it out, and then I will find the most suitable opportunity to present this matter to Your Majesty." ”

"Poor Dao obeys!"

......

......

On the way back to the palace, a pair of young men and girls in bright costumes and extremely beautiful looks walked hand in hand, and the most adorable height difference caused many eunuchs and palace maids to watch from afar.

"Oh yes, Li Ran, when are you going to sort out these evidences and present them to my mother emperor, these corrupt officials stole my Xiao family's things, and I'm so angry!"

Xiao Wan'er said angrily.

"Princess, there are some things that the minister can't tell outsiders, because everyone else is stupid, only you are a smart person, so the minister can only tell you the truth. ”

Li Ran looked deeply at the girl in front of him.

"Hehe, I love to hear that. ”

Xiao Wan'er smiled, lifted her toes, and actually pulled Li Ran's handsome face: "Li Gongzi, you are getting more and more handsome!"

"Princess, don't be like this, you are a sulliant. Li Ran smiled bitterly and grabbed the other party's slender jade hand.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Wan'er looked curious.

"Well, that's not important. ”

Li Ran quickly returned to his seriousness and returned to the topic: "I will sort out these evidences as soon as possible, but I must not hand them in, let alone show them to anyone." ”

"Why?" Xiao Wan'er frowned.

"Because this thing can keep us safe in a dangerous situation, in other words, this is our political bargaining chip. Li Ran said.

"Nonsense, we live in the palace, with the mother emperor in charge, 300,000 forbidden troops guarding, and the four counties of the court as a barrier, who can threaten our safety?" Xiao Wan'er sneered.

"Princess, when the day really "changes the sky", even Your Majesty may not be able to do anything, so we have to plan for ourselves. ”

Li Ran lowered his head and looked at the girl with deep eyes: "You only need to know one thing, everything the minister is doing now is for our future, I may be sorry for the court, sorry for Your Majesty, but, I will definitely not be sorry for you, you and I have come to this point, and it is already a community of interests." ”

Xiao Wan'er was confused when she heard it, but for some reason, she was still touched by the other party's eyes, and nodded sneeringly: "Okay, this princess believes you!"

Li Ran looked at the girl's cute and cute appearance, and couldn't help but feel a sense of love and pity in his heart, and murmured from the bottom of his heart: "Princess, if the minister is seven or eight years younger, he will definitely love you." ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wan'er heard this, frowned, and said, "You guy, what kind of stupid thing are you talking about, if you are seven or eight years younger...... Aren't you just a little brat, who doesn't like you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, her little face turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Ah no......! Don't you like this princess now!

"No, no. Li Ran hurriedly said: "I am sincere to the princess, and the sky can learn from it." ”

Having said that, in a flash of lightning, another face flashed through his mind!

It's her!

Damn, it's hopeless!

The Purifying Mantra walks.

......

After the two returned to the Fourth Princess's Mansion, they heard the news of an explosion brought by the servants.

The eldest princess Xiao Lingqiu has come to the door!

It's in the main hall right now!

"She's going to trouble you again!I'll get rid of her!" Xiao Wan'er said angrily.

"No, she won't, she sees the situation clearly, I'm not her enemy anymore. Li Ran shook his head, then took Xiao Wan'er's little hand and walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a woman wearing a red phoenix skirt, picturesque eyebrows, and a beautiful appearance, standing in the heart of the hall, looking from afar, it looked a little like an iceberg beauty in the picture scroll, who does not eat fireworks in the world.

Maybe it's the relationship of this morning's favorability that makes him less disgusted with Xiao Lingqiu, and from the perspective of his practical heart, the other party is indeed a big beauty, and she perfectly inherits the cold and dusty temperament of Empress Xuanyue.

It's just that a dead little white face standing next to her instantly made Li Ran feel unhappy.

It's Xie Huan!

Xiao Wan'er snorted coldly, stepped forward and said, "Eldest sister, what are you doing?"

Xiao Lingqiu never took this sister in his eyes, glanced at her coldly, and looked at Li Ran: "Li Guoshi, I'm here to find you." ”

Li Ran had already prepared, he knew that the two would meet sooner or later, so he went to the Shinto prison in advance.

The two old feuds looked at each other from afar, and in the air, the smoke of gunpowder dimmed.

In the end, Li Ran broke the silence and said with a dry smile: "I don't know what the eldest princess has to do with her own teacher?"

He is now in the second rank, and he has the status of the royal family, and the blessing of the royal jinshi, so naturally he does not need to be humble and humble as before, and there is nothing wrong with calling himself a "national teacher".

"Very good, worthy of being a genius from heaven, once you have your will, the shelf will come out immediately, in line with your style. Xiao Lingqiu smiled noncommittally, then his tone turned gentle, and he said to Xie Huan behind him: "Xie Lang, you step down first, I have something important to discuss with Li Guoshi privately." ”

"This ...... Your Highness, this person he ......"

Xie Huan's face was melancholy, and he wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Xiao Lingqiu, and his tone was aggravated: "Xie Lang, you know me, the same thing, I don't like to repeat it a second time." ”

When Xiao Wan'er saw this scene, she naturally applauded, not to mention how beautiful it was, she had to remember this Xie Huan seriously injured Xiao Hei for the rest of her life!

At this time, Li Ran turned his head and said to Xiao Wan'er gently: "Your Royal Highness Princess, can you avoid it a little, I believe that what the eldest princess is going to say next, you will definitely not be interested." ”

"No, I don't!"

Xiao Wan'er pouted.

"Believe me, I'll go to the Holy Beast Mountain later, and the minister will teach you to draw the landscape talisman of that day, okay?" Li Ran tempted.

Xiao Wan'er pondered for a long time, "Okay, it's up to you!"

The little girl glared at Xie Huan, and waited for him to go away first before she walked out of the door.

In the hall, only Li Ran and Xiao Lingqiu were left, confronting each other coldly.

"Well, if there's anything Celestia has to say, just say it. ”

Li Ran stretched his waist and said, "But before that, let me tell the truth." ”

"What?" Xiao Lingqiu frowned coldly and arrogantly.

"You don't speak, you just stand quietly, in fact...... It's really beautiful, like a cold and beautiful Moon Palace beauty. ”

Li Ranjun stared at her and said with a bit of sincerity.

Hearing this, Xiao Lingqiu's eyes froze, and it took a long time before he reacted and said coldly: "You...... You are such a prodigal son's praise, this palace disdains it at all, and in the heart of this palace, you are less than one ten-thousandth of Xie Lang!"

Thanks to the blessing of the "Friends of the Royals" talent, you have gained +1 opinion from [Xiao Lingqiu], which has been converted into 60 points for you......"

"Incense, that's really fragrant. ”

Li Ran narrowed his eyes, once again feeling the young philosopher on the earth.

the groove.

Something suddenly dawned on him!

Huan ...... Me, I didn't mean to!
