I run a newspaper in ancient times

Prince Yi's Mansion

Li Li looked at an ancient painting unfolded in front of him, there was also a small white jade fan, and a pair of relief carvings of princes and generals on horseback, made of pure gold, extremely lifelike.

Li Li admired it carefully, and couldn't help admiring: "It's so lifelike, Second Prince, maybe it wasn't carved by a gold carving craftsman I was looking for temporarily?"

Zhao Yu, the second prince of Xia Kingdom, said with a smile: "My lord is wise, and my little wang is also lucky. I happened to see someone ordering a private collection. When that person heard that it was dedicated to the lord, he reluctantly gave up his love."

Li Li shook his fan and let out a few hecks, his eyes lingered on the relief, it was obvious that he liked it very much.

The second prince immediately said: "If the prince likes it, then that is where its value lies. I beg you to accept it."

"The pattern of this relief is a bit familiar."

The second prince laughed loudly: "My lord has good eyesight. This is exactly a painting based on your gossip tabloid. I have to say that my lord's subordinates are really talented. This painting is wonderful and lifelike. , The general's heroism is fully displayed, and it is worth cherishing."

Li Li nodded, and said: "No wonder..." But he turned his head and looked embarrassed again, "It's so precious, but this king is really disrespectful!"

"My lord, you know Xiao Wang's request." The second prince couldn't help showing anxiety on his face when he said this, "Xiao Wang and the mission have been in Daxia for almost ten days, but so far the food has not yet arrived. The whereabouts. Xiao Wang’s heart is for the people who are suffering from hunger in Daxia, and he is really anxious, and he doesn’t want to delay any longer, so I implore the prince to help!”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply, playing the role of a prince who loves the people like a son to the fullest.

However, Li Li took a few steps in the study room, admired the painting, picked up the jade fan to try the feel, and finally stopped in front of the golden relief, with amazement in his eyes, and he raised his head after a long time and said: "No in a hurry."

"My lord! Xiao Wang is really in a hurry. If you need anything else, feel free to mention it. Xiao Wang can satisfy you, and I will definitely satisfy you!" Zhao Yu assured.

However, Li Li laughed, sighed, and suddenly asked: "I heard that the second prince has read almost every issue of the gossip tabloid?"

Zhao Yu said: "Naturally, gossip tabloids are not only popular in Dayan, but people in Daxia try their best to read them. Since Xiao Wang has this opportunity, how could he miss it? He has been reading it hungrily for the past few days, and he can't put it down. I admire the prince's quality of not being a power, but daring to uphold justice for the people, and Xiao Wang takes you as an example."

Li Li nodded, asked Zhao Yu to sit down, and asked, "Does the second prince envy this king for having great power?"

Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment, but under Li Lidong's watchful eyes, he smiled awkwardly and said, "This...of course...the lord wants to enlighten me?"

He said something casually, but Li Li actually nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yu was surprised, and only heard Li Li say: "There is no other shortcut, just a little..." He tapped Zhao Yu's chest with his fan, "That means sincerely thinking about the people, and borrowing food is also the same."

Zhao Yu's expression froze suddenly.

"Second prince, the things are very good, and this king likes them very much. But it's still the same sentence, you have found the wrong person, so take it back." Li Li smiled and called someone over to see the guests off.

How could that trick be hidden from Li Li? It was nothing more than watching quietly, as if watching a clown.

Shi Yu sent Xiaoxia to Zichen Palace to meet the Fifth Princess, and handed over the bottle of wound medicine to her, but according to Xiaoxia, the Fifth Princess didn't react when she saw the bottle of medicine, but just thanked Shi Yu. Another ancient book was given as a gift.

But Xiaoxia has already told the fifth princess the source of this bottle of medicine, if the fifth princess is really interested, she will definitely know who Fan Zhiyuan is.

The news was passed to Fan Zhiyuan, who waited for two days, but the guards of the forbidden army patrolling near Zichen Palace told him that the fifth princess hadn't changed anything, everything was as usual, as if she didn't know about it at all.

So far, Fan Zhiyuan is almost certain that he has confirmed the wrong savior over the years.

At night, Li Li was smearing essential oil and lotion on the side, but his eyes glanced at Fan Zhiyuan who was reading the letter, and saw that this person frowned, as if he was troubled by something huge.

He couldn't help rolling his eyes, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

The urgency that originally wanted Fan Zhiyuan to quickly take off his vest also faded away.

He would like to see when he will be able to touch the truth with this person's IQ.

Fan Zhiyuan put the letter on the candle and burned it, then called out: "A Li."

"Ok?"

"Can you do me a favor?"

"What are you busy with?"

"I'm looking for someone."

Li Li patted his face to let the essence absorb better, then turned around and asked, "Are you looking for your real savior?"

Fan Zhiyuan nodded.

"Then ask your master directly, he knows everything."

"Master is probably not willing to tell me." He asked for a long time, and the answer he got was the fifth princess?But the fact is clearly not.

Li Li said, "It's been a few years, and it's not easy for me to find it. What characteristics does he have?"

Fan Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "There is a flame-shaped birthmark on the back of her heart."

In an instant, Li Li paused when he slapped his face, and looked at Fan Zhiyuan with surprised and strange eyes, thinking that when changing clothes at that time, Wei Lan turned his face away like a gentleman, it was a posturing gesture, but in fact it should be seen Haven't missed it either!

Fan Zhiyuan's cheeks were burning hot from Li Li's contemptuous eyes, and he had to explain: "I didn't see it on purpose, it was really to help her, and I accidentally aimed at this..."

Brother, would he believe this kind of nonsense?It's okay to admit being curious, after all, he was also a man, and he was so young at that time, so Li Li didn't feel he was at a disadvantage.

"Oh..." He uttered a monotone inexplicably.

"Don't get me wrong, I really don't mean that." Fan Zhiyuan explained repeatedly, for fear that Li Li would think that he was an apprentice and spoil his image.

At this time, he regretted asking Li Li for this favor.

Seeing this man's distressed look, Li Li smiled and said: "Okay, I will give orders, but I don't guarantee that I will find it. After all, this kind of thing is very secret, you still have to pay attention to it yourself."

Fan Zhiyuan nodded quickly, at the moment he was probably in a mess, and he didn't think it was such a strange thing for him to pay attention.

Could it be peeking at people taking a bath?

On the contrary, Li Li was thinking about how to let Fan Zhiyuan take a look at his back inadvertently, or invite him to take a bath together?

He stared at this gentleman, even though he had not concealed his friendship, but he still didn't dare to go one step further, he couldn't help but hehe.

"By the way, Marquis Wu Ning suggested that in order to strengthen the friendship between the two countries, we should go hunting in Linshan before the spring is over." Li Li was afraid that Fan Zhiyuan would spontaneously combust in place, so he finally changed the topic.

Naturally Fan Zhiyuan also heard the news, he said: "The emperor will not refuse."

"That's right, the disaster relief in all parts of the country was timely, the refugees were resettled properly, and there was no turmoil. This is just to promote the country's prestige, and it can also delay Zhao Yu's borrowing of food, killing two birds with one stone."

Fan Zhiyuan pondered and said: "This second prince doesn't go to the palace to beg the emperor, but instead runs to you from time to time and gives you a lot of things." He looked at Li Li with displeasure, "It's too eye-catching."

"This should be the leftist's idea."

Although the Xiangfu secretly sent someone to deliver the letter to the posthouse, how could it escape Li Li's eyes.

When the second prince received the letter, Li Li knew the news.

He sneered and said: "This is the real collaborator. In order to deepen the embarrassment of the emperor towards me, he really spared no effort to add bricks and tiles. Anyone can cooperate. If the emperor and I get into a stalemate, it will fall into Da Xia's arms. See, The second prince should cooperate more."

The Dayan court did not explicitly refuse to borrow grain, obviously for the sake of Yanjing the four states would eventually agree.

If the envoys of the Great Xia do a small job and let Dayan take advantage of it for a few days, they will soon be able to enter the business discussion. If it goes well, the quantity and departure date will be finalized in less than half a month.

It's a pity that compared to borrowing food to relieve the majority of the people of Daxia from hunger, it is obviously more important to provoke the brothers Emperor Yan and Li Li to make the Great Yan Dynasty have civil strife.

Seeing the palace banquet that day, the Great Xia envoy knew that Emperor Yan was afraid of Prince Yi, and the relationship between brothers was at stake.

So the second prince completely ignored the existence of Emperor Yan, and kept running towards Li Li, as if it was up to Prince Yi to decide whether to borrow money or not.

This move was like a thorn stuck in Emperor Yan's throat, telling him that what Da Xia values ​​is Prince Yi, and you, the emperor, don't care at all, because sooner or later, the owner will change.

Can Emperor Yan, who attaches great importance to the throne, bear it?

It is estimated that hearing the news from below will make him crazy, and he can't wait to drive the Daxia envoy out immediately!

And so far he hasn't gotten angry, it's all because he's used to it, no matter how much dissatisfaction he has, he won't vent it.

As for food, don't even think about it in Daxia.Even if he was willing in the first place, how could he still be willing now? If he took a step back and said what to do, he would have to delay it a little longer, and let Daxia know who is the emperor of Dayan.

"Marquis Ding Bei probably became the thorn in the eyes of the late emperor in this way?" Li Li turned to look at Fan Zhiyuan and asked.

The latter had no expression on his face, his expression could not be any colder, he looked at Li Li and said, "I won't let you follow in my footsteps."

Li Li laughed softly, and gave a clear "hmm" happily.

On the second day of the court, Emperor Yan decided to hunt in the mountains, and invited the envoys of Daxia to go with him, and the momentum was quite large.

The Linshan paddock is the largest royal hunting ground. In order to preserve the fun of hunting, many ferocious beasts are kept there.

A year ago, Emperor Yan would never have dared to go there, so it almost became a hunting place belonging to the Shen family of Marquis Wuning. Li Li was invited by Shen Yuling to go there once.

But this year, the emperor still handed over the place to Marquis Wu Ning to take care of it, and ordered the imperial army to assist him on the grounds that the Shen family was more familiar with it.

From the beginning to the end, Emperor Yan did not ask Li Li for his opinion.

Finally, Gu Rushi had no choice but to come out and say: "Your Majesty, I think that the Linshan paddock is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are many wild animals in the forest. Ministers of civil and military affairs, clan relatives, nobles, and even the female family members of the harem are going together. This guard is the most important thing. As we all know, the imperial army guarding the imperial city is the army of the emperor, so it should be taken over by the imperial army."

Gu Rushi started from the emperor's safety, obviously in his eyes the imperial army trained by Fan Zhiyuan felt the most secure, Emperor Yan shouldn't give up, instead let Wu Ninghou, who had a dark secret, take charge.

Hunting has been too dangerous since ancient times, and there have been too many accidents. Marquis Wu Ning is now joining forces with Prime Minister Zuo. If they get in the way, wouldn't it put the emperor in danger?

"Master Gu, are you worried about this old man?" Marquis Wu Ning asked with a sneer.

Gu Rushi asked back: "Master Hou, let the ministers and you choose one of Commander Fan, there must be no suspense?"

"Your Majesty Gu is speaking from your heart. You really trust Fan Zhiyuan, but unfortunately the old man thinks that you can't rely on him for everything, otherwise..." Marquis Wu Ning smiled faintly, "Isn't it just like the palace, everything is under his control? among?"

These words made Gu Rushi's face sink immediately, and he couldn't help but look up at Emperor Yan. Although the latter couldn't see his expression clearly behind the bead curtain, Gu Rushi couldn't help but click in his heart.

"Marquis Wu Ning is right. The guards of the imperial palace depend on the imperial army. Let Marquis Wu Ning handle the paddock near the mountain." Emperor Yan really said so.

Marquis Wu Ning gladly accepted the order.

Gu Rushi couldn't help but looked to the front left. Li Li was standing in the train, not moving, and didn't plan to speak.

He sighed secretly, and finally stood back.

Emperor Yan glanced at Li Li, and then announced his retirement.

All the officials knelt down and sent the emperor off respectfully.

As soon as Emperor Yan left, Li Li stood up and slowly prepared to leave.

"My lord!" Gu Rushi called out to him.

Li Li turned around and said with a smile, "Master Gu, what's the matter?"

Gu Rushi smiled wryly, "You're not in a hurry at all."

Li Li rolled up his sleeves, spread his hands and said, "It's useless to be anxious, it's not my heart, I can't control it."

Is this a broken jar?Gu Ru is almost going to be sad.

Seeing his expression, Li Li couldn't help straightening the collar of the old man, and said lightly: "Master Gu, Jiangshan Sheji is not owned by one person, it will only get better and better if everyone works together, so everyone Doing your job well is the best choice, don't you think?"

Regardless of whether Li Licheng admits it or not, the trick of Zuo Xiang and Xia Guo's second prince is indeed very effective.

The estrangement between him and Emperor Yan was bottomless, and it was difficult to repair.

"My lord..."

"You can manage this country with peace of mind, and I will take care of the rest." After Li Li finished speaking, she walked out of the hall slowly, her back relaxed, but she was unreasonably tall.

In fact, whether it is Zuo Xiang or Marquis Wu Ning, before Emperor Yan has no heirs, and under the premise that Li Li is still in power, they will never kill the emperor.

"Speaking of which, if I'm really ambitious, it's the safest way for the emperor to do this." He stood at the gate of the palace, looked up at the sky, and finally turned around and walked towards the harem.
