Chapter 439 You have to help anyway
To be honest, as a Crown Princess, with the Queen and the Crown Prince supporting her, Dugu Miaoyin's life in the palace naturally had to be windy and rainy. The comfortable life almost made her forget how their family was doing.
The Dugu family survived.
Although Xiao Li Subaru's words were very rude, they had the effect of enlightenment for her. Such a young child could understand the truth, but she was so much older than him, but she had forgotten it. It was really ridiculous. Hey, no wonder
The sage said that if three people are walking together, there must be my teacher!
After returning to the East Palace, Dugu Miaoyin told her husband what Li Subaru said. It was not that she wanted to sue the child, but that the education of the newly promoted Concubine Zheng Xian was too "normal".
After patiently listening to Dugu Miaoyin's words, Li Chengqian's lips slightly raised. Of course he knew that Zheng Liwan was not a simple character. She could stand out among the many concubines in the harem in such a short period of time. Could she be an ordinary person? Especially if the emperor is still here this year.
On the one hand, Zheng Rentai was specially promoted over the next level because of his personal abilities. Concubine Zheng Xian definitely played a key role.
Naturally, Li Chengqian couldn't brush off his beloved concubine's kindness, so after whispering a few words into Dugu Miaoyin's ear, he saw an incredible look on her face.
Regardless of whether he is a son or a minister, the emperor's will cannot be violated, so with Dugu Miaoyin's deliberate catering, the young couple struggled for a long time before falling into a deep sleep.
It was already close to noon when Li Chengqian woke up. To be honest, he woke up from hunger. The emperor always only cared about having enough water when giving banquets. After he came back, he "worked" so much, even a hardened man could not do it.
Turning around, he saw Dugu Miaoyin sitting by the couch, holding a handkerchief and embroidering stitch by stitch. Seeing her focused expression, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile and said: "My dear concubine, if you want anything, please let the palace maids do it."
Why do you have to embroider it yourself?"
Seeing that Li Chengqian had woken up, Dugu Miaoyin put down what she was doing, stood up and picked up the teapot on the table. While pouring it over, she replied: "Ordinary things are fine, but this one has a special meaning. Li Zhi said it yesterday
, wants her child to wear a bellyband embroidered by her aunt herself..."
He had nothing to do about Li Lizhi's antics. He took a few sips from the tea cup and said slowly: "Hey, in the first year of Zhenguan, when Gu Gang became the crown prince, she had to go to the East Palace to work for a while almost every day.
, and she is the only one who wants to stay here. Time flies so fast, the little devil is about to become a mother, and everything is just like yesterday."
Just when Li Chengqian lamented how time flies, Dugu Miaoyin beside him interjected: "Your Highness, King Changle came here earlier. Because you haven't woken up yet, I asked him to go back first."
"What's the matter?" Li Daoxing is an old gangster. During the war, he was fine, and he didn't dare to be too arrogant under the control of military law. But now that he has become a casual official, he is not ashamed to go out with the juniors.
Kangfang, the heroic spirit in his body has long been worn away. What is he doing with me? I don’t have any beautiful women to send him.
After listening to Li Chengqian's question, Dugu Miaoyin shook her head and spread her hands: "I did ask, but he didn't say anything, but judging from his appearance, he should be in a hurry."...
.
At three o'clock in the morning, in the Mingde Hall, I was drinking the tea that Li Jinghuan sent me this year and listening to my uncle scolding me. Okay, my family is divided and I have old grudges in the army, so it's a way to pass the time.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't look at that guy Li Jing who usually has five people and six people. He prides himself on being honest and serving the public. In fact, he is also a corrupt official. It's just that he hid and was replaced by Li Derjian. Li Dejian, these two little bastards
The egg is coming out.
.......But Your Majesty, after listening to the old boy's untrue words, insisted on sending me to Jiaozhou to be some kind of governor. Your Highness, what the hell kind of place is that? You have to do it for me.
When you talk to your second brother, you can’t listen to the traitor!”
He knew a little about what Li Daoxing was talking about. The reason was because of spices. In the Tang Dynasty, the price of these things was very expensive. They were almost as expensive as gold. Although the Hangzhou Navy shipped some here every year, for the entire
For the Tang Dynasty, it was still a drop in the bucket, and the price of spices remained high.
The two sons of Li Daoxing and Li Jing happened to be the most powerful spice merchants in Chang'an. Through their "privileges", they almost monopolized the market near Kyoto. This was definitely a business that made a lot of money every day.
No, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and all the spices in the hands of the vendors in the West Market have been sold out, and these two groups have begun to maliciously raise the prices. You said you can just raise the prices, but at worst, everyone will stop eating.
But when they saw that raising prices was no longer enough, they all had bad intentions and maliciously lowered prices. As long as one company was cheated, they would make a lot of money in the future. In the end, malicious price reductions could no longer satisfy their appetites, so they changed their minds.
It turned into a fight with weapons and caused a certain number of casualties.
Later, Shangguan Jingzhao Yin came to the emperor's meeting immediately. As for the solution, Li Chengqian really didn't ask about it, but the result was already obvious, wasn't it?
"Uncle Emperor, there is no need for you to be so angry. Although Jiaozhou is a little far away, it is a real vacancy. We are a family. I might as well say something more clearly. My father will not let this vacancy go to anyone outside the clan.
people."
After filling the empty tea cup, Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face that the emperor would not blame Li Jing for such a trivial matter. At the same time, he also wanted to save his increasingly degenerate cousin.
In fact, Li Chengqian thought it was nothing, he had no ambitions, it was quite normal to play with women, earn some money, and enjoy the honor of being a county king. Why did he have to let others make contributions?
"Yes, Your Highness, if you don't tell me, I know what your Majesty means. If there were no grievances with Li Jing and his son, as long as your Majesty issued the decree, it wouldn't be a problem to die in that smoky place."
Li Daoxing had always been at odds with Li Jing when he was in the army, so this time he was particularly energetic when fighting with his son. Damn it, if he can't get an old guy like you, why can't he get a younger one? Even if he doesn't have the same age.
Much older than the two brothers Li Derjian.
"Uncle Emperor, since you don't want to go to Jiaozhou so much, you can go and talk to your father. But the reason is that you serve in the East Palace. You are an elder and a hero. Isn't this too unfair to you?"
"It's okay. As long as I can go back to Chang'an often and don't go as far as Jiaozhou, I can do whatever I want!" Li Daoxing firmly believed that the emperor would deal with Li Jing sooner or later, otherwise he couldn't leave him to dry after every use.
While watching, he must not miss this good show, otherwise he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Well, he didn't need to tell Li Chengqian to know that the idea of coming to the East Palace came from his brother Li Daozong. Don't look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. This is why Li Chengqian agreed so happily.
Then, after taking out a stack of zizi from the cabinet on the side and handing it to Li Daoxing, Li Chengqian said calmly: "Uncle, this task is being implemented, and I need someone from the clan to operate it. Since it is such a coincidence,
Son, then I’ll leave it to you!”
