I heard you have nine tails

Jinse came back from Kunning Palace, bringing back a whole box of gemstones and pearls, as well as a set of gorgeous hairstyles.Jinse held the head, lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty has ordered, this head is reserved for the future crown princess."

The head and face are inlaid with tribute oriental beads, each of which is the size of a pigeon egg, and the color is also gradient. It looks magnificent and very precious.After listening to Jinse's words, Li Lin turned his head and asked Tan Chang: "This is the oriental pearl produced in the northern river. It is very precious to jump into the river to salvage in April. Only the royal family can use it. Do you like it?"

Tan Chang gave him a foolish look.Are you crazy!You said it was for your daughter-in-law's face, why ask me?

"If you like orphans, ask someone to pick out the beads for you to play with."

If Jinse hadn't been in the palace for many years and was well-trained, she would have almost knocked her head off.Tan Chang also tilted his leg and almost knelt down.

Li Lin took it for granted, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, so Jinse had no choice but to obey the order with difficulty. Fortunately, Tan Chang reacted in time, screaming wildly for a while, accompanied by flicking his tail desperately.Li Lin finally came to his senses, frowned and asked, "Don't you like it?"

"Squeak!" You are reckless!

Hearing the sound of affirmation, Li Lin was very bored, and told Jinse: "Then put it away." After saying that, he didn't look at the precious head again.Jinse is a woman, and she has a natural love for pearls and noodles. Seeing that it will be ashes in the warehouse, she is somewhat reluctant, but the prince's reaction made her smile bitterly, so she had to back down.

Li Lin grabbed a handful of gemstones and pearls from the box, sprinkled them in front of Tan Chang, and said, "I'm going to go to the court for a while, and you can play by yourself first." Although Tan Chang was very helpless at his master's convulsions from time to time, But my heart was still moved, and seeing Li Lin gone, I excitedly lay down on the table and played with beads.

These beads are treasures.However, under Tan Chang's claws, he can only condescend to be a marble.Tan Chang had a natural fondness for these round things. He fiddled with them, bouncing them back and forth. Occasionally, some flew out and landed on the ground. up.When Tan Chang saw that he had made a mistake, his whole body stood up first, and after realizing it, he jumped off the table and ran to him quickly.

"Little master, don't throw yourself down again." Deshan stood up and rubbed his buttocks and said dumbfoundedly. "This must not be seen by outsiders." Otherwise, the extravagant charge of Xianyang Palace would not be able to escape.

After the court meeting, whether public or private, Li Lin would go to the cabinet and the six ministries to find out what the officials of the DPRK and China thought.

Xu Shoufu was busy issuing documents.Emperor Jinghe decided on the framework at the Great Court Meeting, and the cabinet had to clean up the rest.Seeing Li Lin coming, he didn't even bother to salute. "Your Highness, forgive me for being rude."

"Xu Ge has worked hard." Li Lin said, "Gu also wants to ask when is the right time to leave."

Xu Shoufu was a little hesitant, and another He Dashi next to him responded: "Your Highness, wait until the New Year is over. After all, it is inconvenient to travel in winter."

Li Lin also guessed that they would react in this way, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "It will take at least a month or two to build bridges and dams. What if the spring floods are delayed?"

Elder He Ge also hesitated, "Winter...even if you rush to work, it is difficult, let's wait until spring."

"Your Majesty's benevolence, I and all of you will let it be known to you, and we will make a decision after reporting to His Majesty." Xu Shoufu took the words calmly, and threw the question back.After all, when the crown prince leaves, it is still up to Jing Hedi to decide.

Li Lin didn't force it, and responded with a few more sentences, helping to approve some documents, and when the time came, he got up and left.Xu Shoufu was too busy to see him off, and when he was about to leave, he stood up quickly, hurried past him, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness don't have to worry about the official department." That's all.

Li Lin walked out of the Wenhua Palace without much surprise in his heart.

Old Xu Ge was afraid that he would mess up his position, but he wasn't worried at all.Li Ji only saw that His Majesty stuffed him into the official department to value him, but he didn't see His Majesty's intention of doing so.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is getting old. Although he is still in the cabinet, he has already retired and is waiting for rest.Xu Shilang is the one who can really speak for himself in the Ministry of Officials.He couldn't write two words of Xu in one stroke. Although Xu Shilang was not a close relative of Queen Xu, he was of the same family.

Xu's...

In order to avoid suspicion, Li Lin came out of the cabinet and only stopped at the Ministry of Industry. He didn't even see his second brother Li Yun, so he went straight back to Xianyang Palace.As soon as he returned to the palace, he saw beads rolling all over the ground.

Although he condoned it, he suddenly felt a little regretful looking at it.

Tan Chang was still concentrating on beading on the table.A pearl flew up into the air and smashed towards Li Lin.

Li Lin stretched out one hand to pinch the bead precisely, and looked at Tan Chang with a blank expression.The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Are you having fun?" Li Lin asked suddenly.

The little fox immediately dropped the thing in his hand, picked it up from the table and ran over to be coquettish, but unfortunately, when he landed, his foot slipped, and the whole fox fell on all fours.

Li Lin's tense face softened in an instant, and all his thoughts about "being arrogant" and "ulterior motives" were thrown out of the sky.

"Your Highness, there are people from Zhenyuan Temple."

Before he could say anything, Deshan suddenly came to report.Li Lin's face stiffened again for a moment.People from Zhenyuan Temple have never been guests in Xianyang Palace.

Deshan brought people into the side hall to serve tea in a very measured manner. Li Lin walked in slowly, saw a strange path and stood up to salute, "Young uncle, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Lin nodded coldly. "What is the order of the national teacher?"

"The national teacher sent Xiaodao to deliver a peace talisman to His Highness, and may His Highness have a smooth journey." The young uncle stepped forward, took out the yellow Taoist talisman from his sleeve, and offered it respectfully with both hands.

Li Lin looked at the ghost-like talisman above, his eyelids twitched, and he clamped his fingers. "Thank you for Gu Gu."

After speaking these words under the pressure of His Royal Highness, Taoist Young Uncle also let out a long sigh of relief, and immediately resigned. He was even more inexplicable about the behavior of the national teacher.Who in the palace doesn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe it, and doesn't even give His Majesty face?

After sending the visitor away, Deshan stepped forward immediately, and took the Taoist talisman with great color, "Your Highness, this..."

"It's burning." Li Lin said expressionlessly.

Tan Chang followed Deshan and ran up to him quickly. When he saw the yellow Taoist talisman, he was shocked and stopped moving.

Deshan hesitated, Li Lin glanced at him, "Do you know what is the use of this thing?" Deshan immediately agreed, holding the Taoist talisman to go down.Li Lin took two steps forward, ready to pick up Tan Chang, but looking at the cowering fox, who wanted to run away, he said, "Jinse, wash Gu's hands with a basin of water."

He also doesn't like this pill furnace anger very much.

Yang Jingrun came again in the afternoon and was quite worried about Li Lin going to Huainan. "Your Highness, this trip shows that His Majesty is dissatisfied with your actions, you..."

"If you want to ask father to agree to rebuild the water conservancy, you can only be dissatisfied. It's nothing more than who is the source of dissatisfaction." Li Lin wrote with a steady tone, but Yang Jingrun was dumb.Apart from His Royal Highness, who else in the court would dare to dissatisfy His Majesty?

After a moment of silence, Yang Jingrun continued: "Although His Majesty has made a decision, he has not yet made an order. He must wait until the spring of the next year to arrange for His Highness to go. His Highness can use this time to communicate with the Ministry of Industry. If His Majesty changes his mind, naturally ..."

"Mr. Yang." Li Lin interrupted him suddenly, and said firmly: "Father will give the order tomorrow at the latest, and will definitely order Gu to go early, so there is no need to stay in Beijing for the New Year."

Yang Jingrun was taken aback again.Just as he was about to ask Li Lin how he knew, Li Lin took out the account book sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and said, "Mr. Yang, there is only one thing I want to discuss with you."

Yang Jingrun had no choice but to get rid of distracting thoughts, took the account book from Li Lin, and looked at it without distraction.

"Gu once inquired about the market price outside the palace. The record is as follows. Mr. Yang can check it out." Li Lin also sent the price list he wrote down.

Comparing the two, the difference is naturally huge. Yang Jingrun's pupils shrank instantly, and he said in astonishment: "Your Highness, if things go on like this, the national treasury..." His words were broken there, how could such a move be made by a few small officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? ?Since they dared to hand over the account book to the crown prince, they naturally had nothing to fear.

"It's just that the imperial father seldom goes out of the palace." Li Lin said, "All the things made inside are supplied by the imperial merchants. The price is naturally set by them. Moisture."

Royal merchants, the Yao family!

Yang Jingrun finally found his voice, "What is Your Highness going to do?"

Li Lin took out the memorial that was going to be sent up, but changed his mind halfway, "I have an idea, I don't know if it is feasible or not, I want to have a look with Mr. Yang and you gentlemen." It was about reforming the imperial merchants and collecting commercial taxes. booklet.Yang Jingrun followed the train of thought in the notebook and asked questions one by one, finally clarifying what Li Lin was thinking.He weighed his words carefully, "Your Highness knows that His Majesty may not agree to such a drastic..." He didn't have the heart to say that His Highness probably wouldn't even take a look.

Li Lin nodded, "So first show it to gentlemen."

Yang Jingrun nodded, talked for a while, and then got up to leave.Before leaving, he couldn't help but glanced at a certain place, and said cautiously: "Your Highness... is the heir apparent of the country, and it is only natural that he should be pampered, but His Highness lives in Xianyang Palace, and everyone in the court pays attention to him, so he has to go to the court like this." The memorial, please restrain yourself and act carefully."

"What Mr. Yang said is true." Li Lin heard the other party's advice to him to be simple and low-key, but he was a little confused. Li Lin always thought of himself as frugal, how could he make Yang Jingrun say this?After sending the other party out, Li Lin looked at the place the other party had glanced at just now, and finally realized: two or three pearls that were forgotten when the palace servants cleaned them up were quietly lying in the corner of the wall, and one of them was half broken.

Li Lin, who was blamed for no reason, was in a complicated mood. He rushed into the bedroom and grabbed a little fox who was lying on the dragon bed and was addicted to games by the tail, and asked again: "Have a good time, huh?"

Tan Chang felt a chill for no reason.But thinking of the fact that the other party took the initiative to play for him, he squeaked confidently.

"Then let Gu Ye have fun." As soon as Li Lin finished speaking, the dragon bed sank, and Tan Chang, who was having fun, was "played" well, and the fox screamed.

Later, the imperial decree really came, just as Li Lin expected, Emperor Jinghe ordered him to cook as soon as possible and go to Huainan instead of staying in Beijing for the New Year.

Facing such a cold reception, all the people in Xianyang Palace were indignant and helpless, only Li Lin looked as usual, and still had the time to tease Tan Chang who heard that he would roll his eyes if he heard that he was going to drive in winter.

When it was almost time to turn on the lights, good news finally came: Cassia Ming, who was investigating Yao Zhiyuan, had returned.

The author has something to say: Today is also the prince who spoils the fox and the madman!
