Empress Yin was about to say something, when she suddenly saw Mudi coming in, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince Kerong County King is here, please see your Majesty."

Empress Yin smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Please come quickly."

Not long after Mu Di went out, he led Kerong County King Li Shi in.

The bruise on Li Shi's face is still...

After seeing the ceremony, Empress Yin said with a warm smile: "Is the emperor's injury better? Your eldest brother was confused, so he fought with you. The emperor and this palace both reprimanded him and ordered him to shut himself up and think about his mistakes. Can you use medicine?"

Li Shi smiled and said: "Mother Lao is worried, it's okay. I don't blame elder brother for this matter. Eldest brother has always been strict with the sons and ministers as younger brothers, but he also protects them tightly. The elder brother just thought that the sons bullied the younger brother." Fifth, I thought that my son and minister first provoked a sibling strife, and only acted out of anger. My son and my father also said the same thing. The elder brother is a role model for my sons and I really shouldn't be blamed. My father has just issued an order to let Brother is out."

Empress Yin said with a smile: "It's a good thing that the emperor listens to your opinion now. Just now your fifth brother was still saying that you are the most capable brother. In the future, you have to do more to serve the emperor. Share your worries and solve your problems."

Li Shi smiled wryly and said: "The empress mother has praised her absurdly. What can the son-in-law do? It is somewhat useful, and it was taught by the father and the mother. And today, the son-in-law just wants to ask the fifth brother for help."

Li Xuan looked sideways at Li Shi, obviously not completely relieved, and snorted.

Empress Yin scolded with a smile: "Your brother came to ask you for help, is this your virtue? Do you still think you are a child?"

After Li Xuan muttered twice, he warned in advance: "Fourth brother, I don't have any money to lend you. My brother is poor now, and the family is about to collapse! When I go back today, I will take the princess to live with the fourth brother's house." Come on, it won’t work if you don’t have something to eat and drink!”

Li Shi laughed and said: "Okay! I welcome you very much! I will ask your sister-in-law to prepare more delicious food and drinks, and even the clothes for my nephew! But Xiao Wu, you have to help Brother is doing me a favor, not asking you to borrow money..."

"What's busy?"

Li Xuanhu questioned.

At this time, Li Shi should wish that he was far away from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Li Shidao: "I heard that Jia Qiang has a prescription that can make coal easy to burn and cheap. There is also a kind of iron stove, which is very useful and suitable for ordinary people. The coal kiln in Xishan is about to be mined. If it is still according to the market A piece of coal costs four taels or three pennies per catty, which is a little too expensive. How can ordinary people afford to burn it? In the end, it is inevitable that it will be the same as before, unable to make ends meet, and become a laughing stock.

Help your brother and get Jia Qiang's prescription.Right now, he has no coal to mine, so why not give it to the court, which can be regarded as benefiting the people?You tell him, this king will remember his kindness. "

Chapter 785 Test the mother with the son

"Fourth brother, you may not know that although Jia Qiang and his younger brother have left the bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are planning to open another bank and make more coal."

With a rare smile on Li Xuan's face, he spoke to Li Shi seriously.

Li Shi chuckled and said, "Fifth brother, Xishan Meishan involves geomantic omens and dragon veins. Except for the Tianjia Internal Affairs Office, no one else can touch it. Even you can't do it."

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Don't touch that. In fact, the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't plan to pick much there. As the fourth brother said, it is related to the dragon's veins. Who would dare to make a big move? Except for Xishan, Jia Qiang and I are in Zhili. Huolu County in Dingfu bought several coal mountains, and the coal production is very prosperous. It is only [-] miles away from Beijing, which happens to be more than enough for the deer to make up for the shortage of the western mountains. Let people dredge it, just like the Wuzhang River on the right side of the Huai River. After opening, the shipping will be smooth, and the coal from Zhending Prefecture will be able to reach Beijing."

Li Shi heard that his eyes were not angry but happy, and said: "This is a good thing, Jia Qiang really has an idea!" Then, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, let's discuss and discuss, you said Jia Qiang has many ways to make money Yes, his brocade is more expensive than gold. There is also an ice room, a piece of ice five feet square is worth five taels of silver. I heard that he sold more than a mountain of gold in the south of the Yangtze River this summer. Not counting your car dealership... You can't ask him to earn all the money in the world, right?

Besides, as a courtier, what does he need so much money for?

Fifth brother, let Jia Qiang give up his coal business.

Don't be impatient, listen to my brother... This business is not what my brother wants, it belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, my father's, and Jiangshan Sheji's!

Speaking of which, Jia Qiang is not at fault, the honor and favor of the Tian family is really rare in ancient times.

Here in the mother's place, his status is not even inferior to your brother and mine, isn't that enough?Now it's not too much for him to express his heart and give in half a step?

Fifth brother, the court affairs are difficult, as princes, we can't just think about ourselves. "

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. He was still far away from Li Shi when he talked about using great principles to overwhelm others and deceiving others with moral righteousness...

Li Xuan blinked and looked straight at Li Shi.

Of course he knew that Li Shi was talking nonsense, but he couldn't find a good excuse to refute, so he could only look back at Queen Yin anxiously.

Empress Yin almost laughed angrily, just now she heard Li Xuan's "bababa" bragging, and felt that this son was not only a little clever, but also a bit wise.

In the end, Li Shi was deceived by Li Shiyi, and he was dumbfounded...

But after all, it's my own flesh and blood, how can I see being coaxed like a fool.

She looked at Li Shi and said, "My lord, it's not impossible, but the key is not your fifth younger brother, nor even Jia Qiang. Do you know who is the problem?"

Li Shi thought for a while, with a slightly solemn expression, and said, "Queen, are you talking about... Lin Ruhai?"

Empress Yin smiled, shook her head and said: "No, although Lin Ruhai is difficult to solve, it is not impossible. It's just that Lin Ruhai said something serious to your father and several military scholars before, and the emperor recognized it. Cong recognized it all, Han Bin, Zuo Xiang, Zhang Gu, and Li Han all recognized it. Huang Er, do you know what Lin Ruhai said?"

Li Shi's face was ugly, and he squeezed out a forced smile, and said: "Master Lin is loyal to the country, and he should put the country's affairs first..."

Empress Yin shook her head and said, "Lin Ruhai said that from that day on, the matter of the Bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has nothing to do with Jia Qiang. Jia Qiang will not make trouble behind her back, but the court will not bother with the bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs anymore. Jia Qiang. Emperor's son, Mr. Lin is indeed loyal to the country, and Jia Qiang really puts the overall situation of the New Deal at the top of the list, and puts the community and the common people at the top of the list.

But this world does not belong to Lin Ruhai, nor does it belong to Jia Qiang. Why does the imperial court make people suffer and contribute again and again?

Jia Qiang has not been rewarded for her meritorious service, not only did she not get rewarded, but she also deprived her of the job in the bank of the House of Internal Affairs, and also dismissed the job of the commander of the Embroidered Clothes Guard.

Do you think it is appropriate to ask him for a prescription at this time, and then ask him to take the overall situation into account?

My son, have you discussed this matter with the emperor and the military ministers yet? "

Li Shi shook his head solemnly, and said slowly: "I want to wait until I have asked the fifth younger brother what he means, and then I will talk about it after I get the prescription..."

Empress Yin sighed and said: "My lord, your status is not as good as usual now, and you should be cautious in your words and deeds in some matters. Who is Lin Ruhai? With his status, he spoke in front of the imperial court and won the approval of the emperor and all the military forces." Yes, just one day later, you want to seek what Jia Qiang has in hand? Huanger, who gave you the idea? This is clearly to harm you! If you really go to do this, you will kill the emperor and Wu Ying. Where is the face of the temple?"

Li Shi was terrified when he heard this, and after thinking about it again, he gasped, and his body was soaked in cold sweat.

He bowed deeply, and said to Empress Yin: "If it hadn't been for the vigilance of the mother, the minister would have almost made people... the mother!"

As he said that, Li Shi felt that bowing was not enough, so he knelt on his knees and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, my mother, for waking up! It's my son who has become frivolous, and only wants to do a good job of the internal affairs office's bank, so as not to embarrass my father and mother. Unexpectedly, it almost caused a big mess!"

Empress Yin smiled warmly and said: "Get up, although you were not born by this palace, you were brought up by this palace. Now that Li Yao is the successor, Li Xiao will end up like this again. I sincerely hope that you can be safe and sound. Let's go on, don't blindfold your eyes for the momentary gain. Go..."

After Li Shifu promised to be grateful again and again, he patted Li Xuan on the shoulder, and then he said goodbye and left.

Judging by his expression, it is obvious that someone around him will be unlucky...

After Li Shi left, Li Xuan looked rather annoyed and ashamed.

Empress Yin knew the reason, and said with a smile: "Your fourth brother is shrewd, and he was in the Six Departments to watch politics. He always dealt with human beings. How can you compare with these skills? But with these methods, maybe you can be a A senior official can be a powerful minister, but he cannot be the real foundation of the country. Your father has not liked such methods a few years ago, so he is not very warm to your fourth brother. Now, there is no way...

Wu'er needn't be ashamed of himself, what you can do, Li Shi can't do either.And what you can do is much more precious than his. "

Li Xuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and asked with a small smile: "Mother, the son is better than the fourth brother, but can he earn money?"

Empress Yin gave him an angry look, and said, "What's that? If you have Jia Qiang's ability to do something, it would be considered... Your most precious thing is your pure and filial mind and your sincerity to others."

Li Xuan laughed and said: "Mother, it is my duty to be filial to my father and my mother, and it is not worth boasting about. Being sincere to others... that is also due to whoever is right. Only when my son thinks he is a good person can my son be sincere For example, Yin Hao and Jia Qiang, they are good people. Others, I am impatient to talk to them." After a pause, he said again: "Mother, why don't you wait for the fourth brother to wake up from the pain after a fall? Tell him this?" As he spoke, there was still a bit of malice on his face.

Empress Yin spat: "That's your fourth brother, how can I watch him stumble?"
