Don't be a prince

Ashina Xue kicked Li Chengqian angrily: "Okay, you can still pick and choose while lying there waiting for food. After all, are you really going to live here forever? When you first came here, you thought about it every once in a while." out."

Li Chengqian said with a long sigh of relief: "If you don't go out, you don't want to go out and don't think about those messy things. Although Donggong is the major shareholder of the bank, the largest shareholder is the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I have announced all the things related to the bank." Well, it is of course my credit to do it well, and some people will be blamed for messing it up, so why should it be on my head."

When people are under a lot of pressure, they always need a period of relaxation, just like living in Beiyuan, Yichun, where you don’t need to use your brain all day long, and your brain can naturally relax.People always want to find some happiness for themselves in life, so what is the matter with always looking for sins and sufferings.

Carefully picking up the milk dregs that fell by the bed, Ashina Xue still couldn't help but said: "Even if you want to rest, you should go back to the East Palace. Although my place is also within the scope of the East Palace, it is not the same as your East Palace." There is still a difference. What’s the matter with a dignified prince always living with a concubine.”

Glancing at Ashina Xue, Li Chengqian sighed, got up and stretched before going out.

It's time to go out, even Ashina Xue knew it was wrong to do so, let alone other people.

There is no doubt that what I have done during this period of time will definitely be impeached by the official censor.However, since it was only the empress who came forward to reprimand her, it meant that the problem was not serious.Things about the bank came all at once, presumably the emperor's temptation might not have been involved.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but wry smile.What a test, I don't have the idea of ​​controlling the bank and strengthening my own power. I have already given you half of the shares and handed over absolute control. Why should I be so vigilant?

In the face of the emperor's suspicion, it is the most stupid and most effective way to quit.

The prince who had been in seclusion for a long time finally returned to the East Palace!

Just this piece of news made the imperial city, which had been silent for a long time, lively again.

Many memorials about business are now backlogged in the Ministry of Education, and the emperor's order of "letting the decision to the prince" forced Fang Xuanling to bite the bullet and deal with all the small and important matters first.

The prime minister for several years is not for nothing, and he can't learn how to draw a gourd, but he is ashamed of the title of "Fang Mou".

However, in the matter of commercial development, he is really powerless.Maybe it can be handled in a moderate way, but it can't be handled properly like the prince.

Therefore, when Li Chengqian returned to his study, he saw Fang Xuanling and the piled up memorials at first glance.

"Since your Highness is done relaxing, it's better to dispose of these memorials earlier. Although veterans can also make decisions, they can't compare with yours after all."

Picking up a memorial at random and opening it, Li Chengqian immediately understood why Fang Xuanling thought he had no way to make decisions.

According to the history of the Luoyang Governor, there are many escort agencies in Luoyang, and he believes that the business of escort agencies should be restricted. After all, regarding the charging standards, various escort agencies are different. Woke up.

There is no problem at all for the prime minister to review the change of people's livelihood and official positions. After all, the old house will always go out of Beijing to the countryside to find people's feelings, but when it comes to a certain fixed line of work, he lacks experience.

Sitting on the table and picking up a pen, Li Chengqian replied directly: "Waiting for the implementation of the new court decree."

Put down one and pick up the other, as long as it is such a memorial, it is the same approval.

Zhongshu Sheng should not be busy today, but Lao Fang actually had the leisure to stand aside and watch the prince handle the memorial.

When he found that the replies to many memorials were all the same sentence, he couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, do you intend to introduce a new decree? Why don't you discuss it with the old minister first?"

Glancing at the curious Fang Xuanling, Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "If you want to know, you should read it from the memorial. Gu is going to draft a memorial, and you will have a chance to see it when the time comes. The new law is aimed at Business is advancing by leaps and bounds, and the previous ban on hiring low-ranking people and slaves is just the first wave. For the scourge, one shackle is far from enough, and several more can be added to insure."

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "That's fine, His Highness has the most say in this matter, and I'm just waiting for His Highness's memorial."

After speaking, he walked away leisurely.

Once the old house left, Li Chengqian processed the memorial faster.It's uncomfortable to be watched and do things, but it's more open when I'm alone.

By the time all the memorials were processed, it was already night.Glancing at the side, there was already a small dining table set up, and there was a woman who knew the cold and the hungry by her side, no matter if she was a famous lady or a court lady, she was sure to marry.

While eating, Li Chengqian couldn't help feeling the great business development.

In the past, businessmen were the main targets of suppression by the imperial court.Merchants do not engage in production, but only rely on "reselling" to make profits, which is indeed not beneficial to the country.But it is undeniable that the value of commodities can only be changed if they are circulated, thus stimulating the increase of production capacity.If people are only satisfied with eating, drinking and drinking, then there is no need to build roads.

After the restrictions were lifted, led by Xungui, some small-scale businesses began to develop, and some businesses that hadn't appeared began to appear. Even institutions such as the Escort Bureau began to prosper.

However, it is a bit inappropriate to open an escort agency at this stall.The emergence of banks has caused the transportation of money to withdraw from the stage of the transportation industry, and the rest is pure freight.How much profit can I get for the escorted goods?As for the rogues opening the bodyguard agency, they really have to take care of it, because the way they benefit is not how much they can see, but how much they intimidate. They wear a serious business skin, but the essence is still black.

Because of this, it is necessary to have a business license.Only by standardization can business develop healthily under control.

After dinner, he went out for a walk, especially after adding some feed to Ling Yun in the stable, and then went back to sleep.

It is true that a spiritual horse should be raised from an early age. Although humans are not the only ones who advance along the way of raising a horse, there is really no one else who can do it so well like humans.

Early the next morning, after the usual exercise, Li Chengqian began to draft the memorial.

Things like a business license will definitely be loved by most people in the court, especially the emperor, because this way coincides with his idea of ​​monitoring the world.And the merchants can only accept it, because the skin Li Chengqian put on the license is the official approval of the imperial court.

As long as you have a business license, it means you have obtained official recognition. In the era when fame is king, a business license is enough to make a business stand out in front of its peers.

The memorial was only half written when there was a knock on the door.

Dissatisfied, he looked towards the door, only to see Zhang Yun who was showing his head and said cautiously: "Your Highness, General Hou is visiting."

Everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that the crown prince didn't like being disturbed while doing things. Although he would not be punished for this, it was better to obey what the crown prince personally said.

"Hou Junji? What is this guy doing here?"

Hearing Hou Junji's name, Li Chengqian became vigilant for no reason.There were many rebels in the Zhenguan Dynasty, but there were not many rebels as brainless as Hou Junji.

In terms of title, he has already been conferred the title of Founding Duke, and in terms of official position, he has been given the power to participate in the government as early as the fourth year of Zhenguan, and he is naturally extremely favored.Not to mention that in the position left behind in Luoyang, it can be said that Jane is in the heart of the emperor.Further up, the position of Sangong is no longer something that can be achieved by merit and merit, it will take time.As long as this guy doesn't rebel, doesn't cause trouble, and slowly grows old, even if the old and new dynasties alternate, it is still no problem to get a special promotion.But this guy just ran to rebel, didn't he get kicked in the head by a donkey?

It is natural to want to fight when the family is poor and the status is low, but it is foolish to bet all the bets on the points where the chances are slim.

Putting away the half-written memorial, Li Chengqian said: "Let him in, Gu also intends to see what this guy wants to do."

A stick of incense....

Two sticks of incense....

It stands to reason that although it is far from the main entrance of the East Palace to the study, it shouldn't be such a long walk.

Just when Li Chengqian couldn't wait to send someone to check the situation, Zhang Yun appeared at the door of the study with a gloomy face.

"Your Highness, General Hou had an argument with the Sky-Changing Monkey at the door. If the slaves didn't stop him, they might have to use a knife."

"what?"

Li Chengqian was immediately dumbfounded. How could it be possible to make trouble to the point of using a knife after paying a good visit to the East Palace?

Seeing that Zhang Yun was anxious, he simply left the study and prepared to go to the door to see the situation.

Right at the entrance of the Chongming Gate, inside the gate is the team led by himself, and outside the gate are Hou Junji and his family generals.Both sides were at war with each other, and even outside Hengjie, a large number of Jinwu Guards gathered, and their swords were unsheathed and their arrows were drawn.Undoubtedly, the Jinwu Guard was also targeting Hou Junji, and anyone who dared to use a knife at the gate of the East Palace would first have to suspect whether they were plotting a rebellion.If it wasn't for Hou Junji, they would have killed these people from the moment they used the knife.Even if they make a mistake, they will only be rewarded afterwards.

"Let's put it down, what do you want to do one by one? This is the entrance of the East Palace, not a battlefield. If you use it viciously against the enemy, what's the point of using it on your own people?"

Bleeding from the corner of the Monkey King's mouth, he came over and clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, General Hou..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chengqian kicked him to the ground: "Shut up! I will deal with you later, guarding a palace gate can prevent accidents, it's a shame for Gu!"

Sky-Changing Monkey could only stand up, and walked to the side silently.He knew very well why the prince did this, and the reason why he fell to the ground was also to cooperate with him.

After reprimanding the Monkey King, Li Chengqian looked at Chang He who was also wielding the sword: "What are you doing here? You don't need to guard the East Palace now, so why should the people with you go!"

Chang He said nervously: "His Royal Highness, in view of my humble position..."

Li Chengqian glanced at Chang He sideways. Chang He, who had lived with the prince for a while, knew that this was already the bottom line of the prince.

With a wave of his hand, the Jin Wuwei put away their weapons, but did not leave.

After reprimanding Chang Tianhou and Chang He, Li Chengqian looked at Hou Junji.

Hou Junji in full armor looked majestic, but Li Chengqian was not in the mood to look at his armor, but looked at his saber first. If there was a drop of blood on it, he would not even think about leaving the imperial city standing upright today.

I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, but Hou Junji's sword was very clean.

"General Hou, aren't you going to explain to Gu what's going on?"

After putting away the sabers and ordering the generals to put away their weapons, Hou Junji said: "Your Highness, it is the right thing to remove the swords when entering the East Palace, but why do you want to take off the armor and the like at the same time?" Next? This is an insult to the last general, please punish the guards of the Eastern Palace!"

After finishing speaking, Hou Junji knelt down on one knee, expressing his determination.

Looking at the aggrieved Monkey, Li Chengqian smiled, beckoned, and called Chang He to the front.

"Come on, Sky-Changing Monkey, show General Hou how to kill the enemy with armor."

Hearing the prince's words, Sky-Changing Monkey was immediately happy, walked up to Chang He's side, and punched him directly.

Chang He wasn't a wimp either, he didn't back down when faced with the punch of the Sky-Changing Monkey, but instead bullied him.

But just when he was about to receive the punch and fight back, he found that the fist of the Sky-Changing Monkey landed on his palm softly. Before he could be surprised, he felt a huge force between his chest and abdomen, and he It flew out directly.

Smiling and patted on the shoulder, Zhan Tianhou took a few steps forward to help Chang He up, and said: "Commander, I only used [-]% of my strength just now."

Rubbing his colic stomach, and looking at the armor on the shoulders of the Sky-Changing Monkey, Chang He could only nod his head and say, "If you used all your strength, I must have died just now!"

After saying this, Chang He walked back in small steps.Before leaving, he still couldn't help but look at Sky Monkey.

He still knew about Yu Tai's replacement. He had always heard about the miraculous nature of the pro-leader before, but he did not expect that the newly-appointed general would be so skilled.Naturally, he knew the martial arts moves like "striking east and hitting west", but he never thought that it could be used in a real fight, and it could be so smooth and smooth.

Glancing at the depressed Chang He, Li Chengqian laughed secretly.

The pro rate is not just a silly training with those equipment, you know they don't need to worry about farming, don't need to worry about food and drink, when they have nothing to do, they just think about how to kill people.It is no exaggeration to say that each of them can kill a large number of people even if they go to the battlefield naked without armor or weapons.When killing people is not about the strength of armor and the sharpness of weapons, it will be even more terrifying.

Looking at Hou Junji, Li Chengqian said: "See it clearly? I don't think the guards of the Eastern Palace are insulting you by asking you to take off your armor. What's more, they also prepared brocade robes for you. This is the top tribute to the Eastern Palace from the Jiangnan family. The material, it doesn’t count as humiliating the general!”

Now that the matter has come to this point, Hou Junji has nothing to say, he can only say: "The general knows his mistake, please punish him, Your Highness!"

"Gu has no intention of punishing you. The matter has reached such a level that it can no longer be resolved privately. Gu still has government affairs to deal with, so leave!"

After speaking, Li Chengqian turned around and left.Regardless of what Hou Junji wanted to discuss, let's clear up the troubles first before talking about things like the gate of the palace.Even if he is a hero of Xuanwu Sect, the matter of Xuanwu Sect is still a taboo in the emperor's heart.

What you can do yourself, but never allow others to do it.Those who are good at using weapons in the palace, even Hou Junji, have to be skinned.

Hou Junji himself knew this truth, but when he became angry, who would have thought of what happened later?Thinking about the purpose of coming to the East Palace today, seeing that the crown prince was about to leave, Hou Junji could only bite the bullet and say: "Your Highness, the last general came today to ask His Highness, the last general will go to Gaochang, can he bring his relatives with him? "

Li Chengqian turned around in confusion: "A relative is a lonely soldier, how can he give and receive in private? Legal principles and human relationships will not allow it, General Hou should not even think about it."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian entered the East Palace while remaining confused.

There is no doubt that Hou Junji was elected as the general manager to send troops to Gaochang. There is no doubt that the emperor will allocate a batch of gunpowder weapons to the army to verify the effect of gunpowder weapons in large-scale wars.Undoubtedly, as a team that has used gunpowder weapons in training and actual combat, it is the most popular pastry.

But, why did Hou Junji have the cheek to borrow it?

It's no problem for Li Jing to lead the command personally, and he can be regarded as a teacher who leads personally, not to mention that he was also in the army at the time.It is no problem for Zhang Jian to lead the command in person, because he is given to the emperor, and the leader in person is the soldiers of the East Palace, but he still has to obey the emperor's command.

In comparison, which onion is Hou Junji?Do you dare to be tempted by your relatives?

I'm not in the mood to care about Hou Jun's meeting. The incident has become so troublesome that the Jinwu Guards have been mobilized, which is enough to go to the court to judge the crime.Moreover, even if Hou Junji wanted to be private, Li Chengqian was not willing.

2 Chapter Ninety Severe Punishment

After avoiding the eyes of outsiders, Li Chengqian walked up to Chang Tianhou and looked at his lips.

Zhan Tianhou bared his teeth and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just the corner of the mouth was broken by a punch, thank you for your concern."

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the Sky-Changing Monkey didn't suffer much injuries.This fellow Hou Junji has been picked up. It is no exaggeration to say that if the Sky-Changing Monkey is serious, it will be no problem to kill Hou Junji in a few rounds.It was his identity that allowed him to save his life and counterattack the Sky-Changing Monkey.

"Being kicked can make your memory long. The next time you encounter such a thing, let the Jinwu Guard handle it. Although you guard the East Palace, the Jinwu Guard is not far away? If you want a conflict, let the Jin Wu Guard conflict with him. In any case, we still have to do face-saving work, let Sima give a punishment, don't need to receive a punishment, just go home and spend a few days with the new wife. Let Liu Mang and the others be on duty for a few days."

Hearing the prince's arrangement, Changtian Monkey smiled embarrassedly.Newlywed Yan Er, unexpectedly, someone gave him a holiday for a period of time, it was worth the blow!

Li Chengqian continued to write the memorial about the business license after writing a letter to the military commander asking him to take a formal punishment.

It didn't take long for Hou Junji's punishment for using a knife at the gate of the East Palace today. There is no doubt that he lost his appointment as the commander of the army and was fined a thousand jin of copper.He was replaced by Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian.Li Xiaogong was appointed as the chief commander of the Jiaohe Road Marching, and Qibi Heli was the deputy chief commander of the Congshan Road, leading the elite from Guanzhong and Longyou to march to Gaochang.

Of course, it is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation to be famous from teachers.As the emperor of the Shang Kingdom, Li Shimin issued a decree to Gaochang King Qu Wentai years ago, asking him to have an audience.Qu Wentai, who was huddled in his one-acre three-quarters of an acre of land, was terrified after receiving the order, and came to complain of illness.This is not acceptable. If you are really sick, there is still an excuse. If you take the blame, maybe Datang will soften your heart and only attack your country and not kill your royal family, but you know the consequences. Being stupid again and again is adding to the crime, and sending troops to Gaochang is a certainty.

Different from the past, Datang's dispatch of troops this time even gave Gao Chang a special order telling him when Datang would attack, which can be said to be extremely arrogant.However, in the face of Datang's arrogance, both Tuyuhun and Western Turks chose to avoid it.Gao Chang, from a naughty brat to an orphan.Gaochang, who lost his parents' "love", even the envoys sent out were taken into custody by Tuyuhun and Western Turks.

This incident once again proved how unreliable the so-called covenant between countries is.

It's fine if the covenant between countries is unreliable, but if the contract between families, especially the contract between the family and the royal family, is not followed, it will be a big accident.

"Your Highness, the eleven families reconciled the accounts together, but the Gu family was missing twenty copper coins. The head of the Gu family was so ashamed that he rushed back to the clan, vowing to find out what was wrong with the account books."

Glancing at the gloating Zhang Wei, Li Chengqian said: "In any case, the Gu family must come up with an explanation this time. This kind of incident happened under such strict orders, which can only show that their local bank made a mistake. Inside the bank What about your eyeliner?"

As the general manager, Zhang Wei naturally has the news of the two secret agents of the secret guard Baiqisi.

Arching his hands, Zhang Wei said in shame: "The information has not been sent back yet. The road between Chang'an and Wuzhong is not as smooth as Beidi. It will take a while for the information to be delivered."

Since the traffic is inconvenient, there is no other way but to wait.This time, from the authenticity of the news, we can see whether the Gu family is responsible.If they report truthfully, then they may not be able to show mercy to their family. If they conceal falsely, then I'm sorry, and they will be kicked out directly.After such incidents, the Gu family, let alone the shares, had difficulty maintaining their own status.After all, even though the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are alike, they also dislike each other in private.There are not many opportunities to make trouble, and it is a strange thing to get it once and not to the extreme.

"Go back. From now on, you don't need to report to the East Palace about the bank's trivial matters."

Zhang Weigong cupped his hands, turned and left the study.

After completely pushing out the responsibility of the bank, Li Chengqian suddenly felt that his whole body was in high spirits.Although this is suspected of setting a fire and watching the disaster relief, why can't people be more selfish?

Opening Lingnan's letter, it is clearly thousands of miles away, but Li Chengqian can still know what the harbor construction looks like.Although Li Yongshu came from a family of merchants, he was able to draw well. After receiving the enlightenment from the prince about "sketching", he was out of control on this road.Looking at the harbor he drew, it is as if you are there.

After the harbor is built, you can wait for the achievements of the shipyard.With the full support of the House of Internal Affairs, the East Palace, the Changsun Family, the Palace of Wei, and the Palace of Wu, success is only a matter of time.

Put away Lingnan's letters, and don't even need to write a reply.Whether it's Li Yongshu or Qiu Haiqing, he, the prince, doesn't need to worry about it.The subordinates in the Tang Dynasty are very capable, and they can get things done without the boss telling them how to do it.As long as it is not a letter asking for help, there is no need to reply.Always cheer them on, as if you don't trust them.

After the continuous spring rain season, the earth seemed to be full of vitality overnight, and hazy green can be seen everywhere.The new year is just beginning now.The pro-cultivation ceremony is a fixed program every year. After losing the performance nature, the pro-cultivation ceremony has become an honor of the royal family.However, unlike in the past, now the royal family has a larger area to cultivate, because Li Tai has become the one who leads the cows for the emperor, and the queen has become the one who leads the cows. The cow is the sky monkey, and the ground is also the two of them.

I don't know what's going on, but Changtian Monkey seems to enjoy this appointment very much, holding the cow and laughing so hard that it almost rises to the clouds.
