I heard you have nine tails

"What the emperor said is very true." The fourth prince immediately stepped forward to salute after realizing it.Tan Chang didn't dare to respond, and hurriedly dodged.Nonsense, this is the prince, the prince born of the empress.No matter what Li Lin thinks, in the eyes of outsiders, a pet like Tan Chang is absolutely unworthy of it.

"Well, he also forgives you." Li Lin said.

Tan Chang kept looking at him with a foxy face in bewilderment.May I ask where did you see it?But in order not to upset his master, he still took a few steps towards the fourth prince, squatted down and yelled at him.

This time without Li Lin's conveyance, the fourth prince could see the obvious closeness.When he looked up, his eyes and face were still red, he looked at Li Lin and asked, "Can I still touch him?"

"Ask him." Li Lin said.

The fourth prince squatted down = body.Looking at the other party's longing and hesitant eyes, Tan Chang took the initiative to walk to his hand and rubbed his hand with his mouth.

To the Nine-Tailed Fox, an 11-year-old human is just a cub with not yet fully furred. Tan Chang is indeed not angry, and it doesn't matter.

The fourth prince finally broke through his tears and laughed.

Tan Chang happened to avoid Li Lin, so he happily left His Royal Highness aside and played with the fourth prince.

It was not easy for Li Lin to correct the memorial in front of his younger brother, so he asked someone to get some books, and sat aside to read them.Occasionally he looked up, only to see one person and one Huli having fun, and the fourth brother didn't seem to smile so brightly when he was with Huang Er.Li Lin thought casually, as for Beifeng, oh, now that it's Tan Chang, it seems that he seldom acts like a baby to him happily.

Li Lin moved his fingers and forced himself to look away, but he still read a page for a while.

Tan Chang was close to the Fourth Prince, and could smell his breath.The young dragon has not yet grown up, and the real dragon spirit has not yet appeared.It may be because of learning from a real person, but there is a bit of Taoism's Danhuo.Due to the nature of a child, the Fourth Prince respected Tan Chang as a playmate, even if he couldn't understand what he was saying, he would still ask him for his opinion from time to time.But when the other party dropped a purse and went out to ask him to pick it up, Tan Chang suddenly remembered that the fourth prince seemed to have a dog.

a dog...

Tan Chang suddenly tilted his body while running.The fourth prince hurriedly asked: "Beifeng, are you not injured?" He also ran over to check if he was injured.The fourth prince has been raising dogs for a long time, and he has become very proficient at smoothing the hair. After checking and checking, he becomes a fox.Tan Chang felt comfortable, so he simply lay down, exposing his white belly, and let him go.The fourth prince got close to him, and gradually forgot about the elder brother beside him, and said excitedly: "I'll bring Huang Er to play with you someday!"

Tan Chang tilted again and rolled on the spot.Once again he deeply doubted his own vision.Li Lin finally seized the opportunity to say: "Fourth brother, he is afraid of dogs."

Afraid that the dog's weakness would be made public again, Tan Chang completely turned his head away and did not want to see the two brothers.

The fourth prince quickly apologized, and Li Lin said at the right time: "He has to take a lunch break every day, and it's time for the fourth brother to go back and study."

The fourth prince only felt that the elder brother's tone was cold, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, gave a deep salute, apologized again and again, and left Xianyang Palace reluctantly.

As soon as the fourth prince left, Li Lin put down the book, clacked and squeezed his hands, and asked Tan Chang: "Do you like fourth brother?"

It was obviously a very normal question, but Tan Chang, with his animal intuition, keenly sensed some danger. He immediately squatted down and shook his head vigorously.Don't like it, don't like it at all, he wouldn't like bringing a dog to scare his bad boy!

"Don't like it?" Li Lin twitched his lips, "You still have so much fun with him if you don't like it?"

Where is the fun, it is obviously a compromise!Tan Chang yelled twice to try to distinguish, but found that the other party had stood up.Li Lin is tall, diligent in exercising, and has a strong body. Standing in front of him is full of pressure.

"Don't like rubbing his belly?" Li Lin took two steps forward, and Tan Chang subconsciously shrank back.This move fell into Li Lin's eyes, his pupils shrank, and his voice became softer: "Afraid of being alone?"

Afraid... not afraid.Tan Chang swallowed, obviously feeling the suppressed emotions of the other party.Before the master gave the order to sweep the floor out, Tan Chang reacted in time: rushed to the other party's feet, lay down obediently, and let him rub.

The unhappiness in Li Lin's heart quickly dissipated.He also squatted down and put his big hands on Tan Chang's belly, feeling the soft fur rise and fall with his exhalation. "There's really nothing I can do about you."

Tan Chang hooked his wrist with his tail.One person and one fox finally reconciled.

Afterwards, Li Lin went to Kunning Palace again.It is not only to express their attitude to Queen Xu and the fourth brother, but also to discuss with Queen Xu about something.After a few words of politeness with the fourth brother, and after quizzing him on his homework, Li Lin asked Deshan to go down, Empress Xu understood, and asked the maid to take the fourth prince down.

"...What does the queen mother think?" After Li Lin finished speaking, he looked at Queen Xu.

Empress Xu pressed her hands on her lap with a serious expression, "Da Lang, are you really going to do this?"

Li Lin said: "When it comes to spring, it is necessary to sow seeds and irrigate, and in summer it will be flood season. If there are no dams and bridges, the people in Huainan will all be hungry next year."

Empress Xu still hesitated.

Li Lin got up and stood in front of Empress Xu to salute, "My son begs the queen mother on behalf of these people."

This sentence made Empress Xu let go of her hand, and she sighed softly. "You say that, how can I refuse? Get up quickly." She said helplessly, "You child, you have never asked me for anything, whether it is the palace people bullying you, or your father... hey, I will help you!" You are."

Li Lin saluted and thanked him again before taking his seat again.

A few days later, news suddenly spread from the court: His Majesty held a grand court meeting.

After Emperor Jinghe practiced Taoism, the morning court became very irregular, and it had been a long time since he had seen the grand court meeting held once every fifteenth day.

A court meeting was convened suddenly, officials changed into court clothes, and there were many discussions.Before the early court, Xu Shoufu, who was calm and relaxed, finally released the news: His Majesty wants to discuss the water conservancy in Huainan.

Hearing this, the officials were all surprised.Jing Hedi was still resolute before, why did he suddenly change his temper?

So someone mysteriously said that the queen empress led the harem to donate jewelry and was willing to persuade Huainan to donate.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and secretly praised Queen Xu for her general sense and skill.Your Majesty can make money, but he can't lose face. Could it be that he can really go to Huainan with the jewelry of all the empresses in the harem?This time, it can be regarded as a final decision on the reconstruction of water conservancy facilities.Yao Shilang from the Ministry of Industry's face was completely darkened, and the officials couldn't help laughing when they saw him, and they couldn't help but wonder what the concubine Hui of the Yao family in the palace was thinking.

Of course, for Li Lin, who had been prepared for a long time, what he was concerned about was that Concubine An was fined and grounded because she refused to give away her belongings, and even contradicted the queen.The grounded concubine naturally couldn't flip her cards.When Jing Hedi's novelty is over, who will remember her.

During the court meeting, Li Lin stood with several adults in the cabinet.After not seeing each other for a few days, Emperor Jinghe looked older and older, maybe because he was worried about state affairs, or maybe it was because alchemy was not going well again.Li Lin smiled sarcastically, lowered his head and narrowed his eyes, the fingers in his sleeves were tightly pinched.

"To discuss the matter of Huainan today." Emperor Jing He's voice was hoarse, "How much more can the treasury pay?" He looked at the people in the household department.

The Minister of the Household Department was ready, and immediately came out to answer after hearing the words: "Return to Your Majesty, up to 20 taels."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry immediately darkened his face.Even Jing and Di frowned, "20 taels, maybe less."

Hubu Shangshu was not afraid at all. "Your Majesty, the national treasury is empty, and there will be an imperial examination ceremony next year. If it is opened, the national treasury will not be able to hold on in the future."

"20 is definitely not enough! 40 is probably not enough!" The minister of the Ministry of Industry blushed, with veins popping up on his neck, and argued with reason: "The last time there was a problem with cutting corners, if there is another accident, next year's harvest will be reduced." But it will be ruined!"

"That doesn't work either..."

"Enough!" Jing Hedi shouted suddenly, and coughed for a while while rubbing his chest.He is not a fool, the two ministers were fighting with red faces and thick necks. In the final analysis, they were just singing oboe, forcing him to take money from the internal treasury, so he was in a hurry, but he couldn't ignore it. "20, 20 from the national treasury, 20 from the internal treasury." He looked at the minister of the Ministry of Industry with disgust, and waved his hand, "Is that enough?"

The two Shangshu lords bowed their heads obediently and returned to the ranks.

"I think this is inappropriate!" The third prince Li Ji finally couldn't help but speak out.He has endured it for a long time. When these officials talked about the Yao family and secretly laughed at his mother and concubine, he always kept it in check, and now he finally couldn't bear it anymore. "The internal treasury is the emperor's private property. If you want to supervise water conservancy, it will naturally come from the national treasury. How can you pay for it from the internal treasury!"

Not long after he entered the court, he went to the most important official department. He was favored so much, so he was naturally young and energetic, eager to make his mark.

Several ministers in the cabinet shook their heads slightly, and even Li Lin lowered his head and sighed secretly.It was horrible.Even Jing and the emperor have compromised. What good is it for him, a prince, to confront the officials on this matter?What's more, his mother's family is still involved in it, so it is not wise to rush to get ahead.

However, when Jing Hedi looked at him, his face looked a little better. "San Lang's words are reasonable, but I have made up my mind on this matter."

It is said that it is enough to save face, but the third prince still feels that it is not enough. "Father, why don't you ask the national teacher's opinion?"

The 60-year-old national teacher has white beard and hair, and is authorized by His Majesty to wear a large Taoist robe and a Taoist temple on his head.Since he was named a first-rank national teacher, he also has the right to go to court, but most of the time he is silent.

This will be called, he took a step forward, his cloudy eyes moved slightly, "I would like to make a divination for Your Majesty."

Jing Hedi pondered, and Li Lin clenched his sleeves tightly. He knew very well that his father was moved.

Li Lin was not the only one who could see clearly.Immediately someone came out and responded: "This matter is of great importance, why not wait for the results of the national teacher's divination before making a conclusion."

What has been arguing for a long time, today the empress forced His Majesty to back down, how can I let go of this opportunity?

Li Lin showed his hand from his sleeve and held Chaohu.

"The minister wanted to impeach, but the Yao family was not good at undertaking it. He was greedy for money and stealing work, which caused the dam to collapse and the people to be displaced." After receiving the signal, a censor rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to impeach without saying a word.When the incident happened before, the cabinet was almost flooded with impeachment papers, but no matter how much they scolded, they could only bear with it, and finally got their chance today.

"We will discuss this matter later." Jing Hedi said patiently.

"As an imperial businessman, the Yao family disregarded human life and hurt the face of the world. If you don't punish them, you will not be able to convince the people of the world!" Yu Shi's tongue was shining like a lotus flower, and the Yao family suddenly became a heinous person in his mouth. "Yao Xinhong can't restrain his family, and he can't bear to be in the court!"

Yao Shilang's dark face was flushed with anger again, Li Ji clenched his fists and stepped out.

"Enough!" Emperor Jing He slapped the armrest of the throne vigorously, "I said it, we will discuss this matter later!"

The censor still refused to accept, Xu Shoufu gave him a wink, and obediently withdrew.Xu Shoufu took a step forward and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the water conservancy issue in Huainan is a very important matter. I would like to discuss it in detail at the court meeting today."

Countless people waited with bated breath. Emperor Jing He looked at the loyal old minister for a while, and finally nodded wearily.

The author has something to say: In the last chapter, the little angels mentioned that the names cannot be distinguished, so I will try to call the princes by ranking in the future. I hope everyone will not dislike the snail king QAQ
