After a while, two fast horses drove out from the mansion, and headed for the south gate, and Liu Zhubo also got the news of the imperial decree, and rushed to the palace impatiently.

At that time, Xie Jing'an was still sitting in the flower hall with Lin Yan. As soon as Liu Zhubo came in, he hurriedly saluted and asked, "Your Highness, I have heard that Chang'an has come. Is there such a thing?"

Xie Jingan was still depressed and didn't want to talk to him, so he handed him the imperial decree that was placed on the table.

Liu Zhubo was startled and hurriedly took it respectfully. He had been sweating all the way, but after reading the imperial decree, it turned into a cold sweat.

Xie Jingan's face was ugly, and he didn't give in. He held the imperial decree as if he was holding a hot potato, and said: "This, this, this... The Liu family has committed a lot of evil, and they deserve what they deserve. Your Highness has eliminated one harm for the fief. Even if the Holy Majesty does not reward you, It shouldn't be reprimanded, how could it provoke the Holy One to be so angry, is there something we don't know?"

Things were beyond their expectations, of course they did, Xie Jingan told Lin Yan's conjecture again, Liu Zhubo's expression became more and more gloomy after hearing this, and the hand holding the imperial decree also used some strength, almost crumpling the imperial decree , hastily handed it back to Xie Jingan, pondered for a moment, and said: "The crown prince has been in charge of the East Palace for many years, and his biological mother is also the empress of the world. It is not that the uncles and nephews have done nothing in the court. After all these years, even if the Holy Majesty still For those who are loyal to him and refuse to take refuge, the Crown Prince's power can at least compete with them, if he really wants to do it, it is not easy to keep His Highness's memorial outside the palace, but it is not difficult to stop it outside Chang'an City."

Why didn't Xie Jing'an know that it was easy for the prince, but what puzzled him was that it was only the Liu family, why was it so?I would rather resort to this method than stop his memorial. Are you afraid that the Holy Majesty will find out later and blame him?

Hearing Xie Jingan's question, Lord Liu sighed, shook his head and said, "If His Highness was still in Chang'an, the Crown Prince would not dare to, and he might have to help His Highness sue the Liu family, but His Highness is now far away in Mozhou. Fanqian has offended His Majesty again, Cai Zhifan came here, it is undeniable that he will be married, and the crown prince will naturally help his own people."

Xie Jing'an's eyes widened when he heard this, and said, "You mean, if this king loses his favor, he would rather offend this king than save the Liu family?"

Liu Zhubo didn't answer, but judging by his attitude, he also acquiesced to this sentence. After Xie Jingan understood, his mood was agitated, and he didn't know how to react for a while, so he couldn't help but sneered a few times, and then fell silent.

It's not that he doesn't agree with Liu Zhubo's words, on the contrary, he thinks what Liu Zhubo said is reasonable, and he couldn't help but sneer a few times as long as it was almost the same as the truth.

As the crown prince, the crown prince should be considerate of the people of the world, but now he has collected all the criminal evidence of the Liu family. Instead of making decisions for the people, he suppressed it privately, and even turned black and white. How can it not be shocking?

Furthermore, he dared to do this even as a feudal prince and prince. If he were any other official, I'm afraid that this imperial decree would not only reprimand him, but convict him.

Another point that made Xie Jingan both shocked and angry was that he used to think that as the original owner, even if he was rejected by the emperor, it would not be bad if he was sent to such a remote place. , it has nothing to do with his good life and development of the fief.

But now it seems that he wants to be simple again. The more he develops the fief with his heart, the easier it is to get into the eyes of important officials in the court. The life and death of the people are on their bodies. If things go on for a long time, the crown prince will definitely hate him. It is good that he is in a fief. Even though the crown prince has great abilities, he may not be able to kill him. If he returns to Chang'an, then he will be close to death.

Thinking of this, Xie Jingan calmed down a bit and felt a sense of crisis again. He didn't show anything, but tightly squeezed the hands on the armrest of the chair.

Ever since he received the imperial decree, Lin Yan has been paying attention to Xie Jingan's expression, fearing that he would lose his temper, he hastily said: "Although the crown prince is now in power, he can't cover the sky with one hand. If His Highness wants to There is always a way to pass the memorial to the palace, and what happened to the Liu family is really appalling, the more the crown prince is like this, the more His Highness must pass the memorial to the imperial court, otherwise it will only make the crown prince's line even worse and more arrogant."

This was also what Xie Jingan was worried about, no matter whether the crown prince had done such things before, but with him, he must not make such a start, otherwise the crown prince would think that he was easy to bully, and he could handle him however he wanted in the future.

What's more, there are Concubine Hui and Kang An in the palace, even if it's for their sake, she has to find a way to prove her innocence.

Xie Jing'an made up his mind, pondered for a moment, and under Liu Zhubo's and Lin Yan's rather nervous eyes, he opened his mouth and called Cui Tong who was guarding outside.

When Xie Jingan received such an order, Cui Tong's expression was not much better, his eyes were even a little red and swollen, as if he had cried quietly, he came in and saluted, "What is your Highness' order?"

Although Xie Jing'an liked this child very much, he couldn't care less about comforting him at the moment, and ordered: "Send someone to the equipment department to call Xu He, this king has something to ask him."

At this critical moment, instead of calling Su Wei or someone who can come up with ideas, he called some craftsmen. It really makes people wonder, but Liu Zhu Bo Tong Lin Yan is a smart person. After a moment of confusion, he reacted, surprised and happy He said: "Your Highness means to use the time of giving gifts to the palace..."

Xie Jing'an nodded and said: "The crown prince can stop the king's memorial, but he can't be so courageous as to stop the ceremony that the king sends to the palace. With such a large team, the king doesn't believe that he can wipe it out quietly. .”

This is an idea. Mr. Liu stroked his messy beard and agreed: "Your Highness, this idea is very good. Mozhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, so a large group of people must attract people's attention, and all the people who leave are coming and going. According to the official way in the past, even if the crown prince has the ability to reach the sky, he will never think of removing this team without leaving a trace, but we must prevent them from searching."

That's a small problem, as long as his gift-giving team passed Ming Road and had his name, those people didn't dare to investigate with a big fanfare, and if they hid things more secretly, they would definitely be able to pass them into the palace.

The more Xie Jingan thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, and his depressed mood eased a little, and he began to think about using this time to send something into the palace.

In the past, he only wanted to take good care of Concubine Hui and Kang An, but now it seems that he has to maintain his relationship with the original owner's emperor's father. He can't just say what the prince says. There is also room for maneuver.

Today, such a big event happened in the palace, and the people below were naturally anxious, and the speed of handling errands was faster than in the past. Xie Jingan sat in the flower hall and hadn't figured out the rules in his mind. Bo Han stepped into the door.

Because of Xie Jingan's urgency, Xu He didn't even have time to tidy up his appearance, and he didn't know what he was busy with before. His clothes were covered with dust, and his hair was a bit messy. I'm sorry, I have to apologize, Xie Jingan is in a hurry to prepare for going south to give gifts to the palace, how could he care about this, before he could speak, he waved his hand and said: "It's just that the clothes are dirty, it doesn't count as being in the palace." If you are disrespectful in front of this king, there is no need to plead guilty to Mr. Xu, this king asks you, how did you try to make a mirror out of glass a few days ago?"

Ever since the glass was successfully fired, Xie Jingan had the idea of ​​a mirror. After all, this era is still dominated by bronze mirrors. Anzheng thought he didn't earn enough money, so he naturally wouldn't let go of such a big business opportunity. Moreover, the craftsmanship of mirrors is simpler than that of glass, but it's just a few more processes than glass. His equipment department can even burn glass, and even Let alone a mirror.

Sure enough, when Xie Jingan just mentioned a voice, Xu He couldn't hide his excitement, and said with a flushed face, "Your highness has lived up to your highness's entrustment, this mirror has already been made, but the appearance of this mirror still needs to be considered, but it still needs to be considered." It won't take much time, the craftsmen already had some ideas before the young one came, and it must not take a few days to make the appearance His Highness said."

The mirror that Xie Jingan wanted was not too complicated, it was just an ordinary dressing mirror for later generations, but the things sent to the palace must be extremely exquisite and luxurious. Mirrors can be mass-produced according to the process, but the decoration on the outside can be It needs to be carefully crafted by a skilled craftsman.

Xie Jing'an also knows that slow work comes with careful work, and if he was not in a hurry before, naturally he would not rush them, but now he was counting on this to send the booklet to the palace so as to wash away his grievances, so he had to rush them.

Xu He was also somewhat clever, although he was a bit embarrassed, he gritted his teeth and agreed, promising to rush to work day and night, and the thing could be made in at most three days.

The time of three days is neither long nor short, and besides, he has to choose the men and horses to escort things into Chang'an, and contact the fleet for river transport. This time is about the same. , Xie Jingan nodded in Xu He's slightly disturbed eyes.

After asking about the mirror, Xie Jingan asked a few other things that he thought could be brought into the palace, including binoculars, bicycles for adults and so on. Xie Jingan was very relieved that Xu He's hard work this winter was not in vain. There are very few finished products, but some are successful, and it will never delay him from sending gifts to Chang'an.

After sending Xu He away, Xie Jingan wondered whether he should make a hot air balloon and send it to the palace. No matter what era there is, there is a natural yearning for the sky. In this era, there are no airplanes, and naturally no one can escape the gravity to fly to the sky. Go, if he can make the emperor become No.1 in the sky, it would be a great contribution. Even if the emperor is still angry with him, he should calm down, and the crown prince will not want to deal with him from now on, right? Do you have to think about it?

Xie Jingan was excited at the thought, but the thought only came to him for a moment, so he pressed it back firmly. He had to eat every bite, and he had to do one thing at a time. Although he still had prestige in front of his subordinates now, he would eventually cross the border. The time is too short, and there must be a gradual process to come up with such shocking things.
