I heard that the emperor has a crush on me

The morning of the next morning was naturally full of gunpowder again. While the ministers contributed good strategies, they did not forget to find fault with each other. The consequence of dissatisfaction with each other was endless disputes, but the convincing plan has not yet come to fruition.

Li Wenyu and Li Wenzhen, who are both princes, stand side by side. They are both zhilanyushu and handsome people. Li Wenzhen put on his gentle and kind face again, while Li Wenyu, who loves to laugh in private, has a serious face with his brows in his eyes. With his chin raised half slightly, his eyes showed a gaze overlooking everything.

Then it landed on the person next to him, and he couldn't help but licked the corners of his lips.

The elder brother is a little taller than him, and the prince's azure-colored suit looks very good on him. It seems that as long as he keeps looking at him, he will calm down in his heart, and then ignore the strange coolness around him.

Li Wenzhen always felt the hot gaze beside him, turned his head slightly and glanced over, and saw Li Wenyu's flowery face and strange smile.

"..."

The old emperor sat on the dragon chair and listened to the quarrel, and he was a little bit dispirited. When he was thinking about whether to resist the public opinion and formulate Lin Ge's proposal, Li Wenzhen, who was forced by Li Wenyu's hot eyes, moved, and then walked out of the queue and stood in the center of the hall. .

"Father, my son has some ideas about the Northwest affairs."

"Oh, let's hear it."

The voice of the eldest son cheered up the old emperor again. He listened carefully. His steady voice was full of expectations and joy for the eldest son.

"Father, there is an urgent need for grain in the northwest, but the national treasury is not sufficient. It takes too long to collect grain from the lower reaches. However, there are countless grain merchants in the world, and in recent years, Tuxian County and many places in Antai have had good years. The warehouses of the merchants must be full, if you can get their grain, wouldn’t it be faster than going to collect it.”

"What the eldest prince said has some truths, and Antai County in Tu County is the only way to go to the northwest. If you go to those places to collect grain from the grain merchants, it will save more time than going to other places." Famous, among other things, the Taifu Master Li who taught him in the early years is a staunch supporter of the descendants, and this time he was the first to affirm Li Wenzhen's thoughts.

However, there are many people in the court and the factions are chaotic. Although the old emperor favored Li Wenyu, but did not establish a prince, the other princes always have a chance, and many empresses in the palace have a close relationship with the court. How can I watch Li Wenzhen stand out steadily.

Taifu Li opened his mouth, and soon the sixth prince's uncle, Lin Cabinet, stood up: "I think His Highness's thoughts are still too naive."

"What's the opinion of the Lin cabinet?"

"You must know that all merchants in the world are motivated by interests. If we let them know about the locust plague in the northwest and the imperial court has no food to relieve the disaster, wouldn't they have to sit on the ground and raise the price of rice? I am afraid that other wealthy places will also be implicated. "Although Cabinet Lin favored the sixth prince in his heart and wanted to suppress the other princes for him, the conversation was well-founded and concerned about the people and the country, and soon some ministers followed his words.

Li Wenzhen stood and listened to the quarrel again, the surrounding voices were buzzing, Li Wenzhen turned a deaf ear, but turned his head and glanced at Li Wenyu, that person seemed to turn a blind eye to the noise in the hall, and looked down at his feet , I don't know what to think.

The old emperor was a little tired of the atmosphere of finding fault with each other. He waved his hand to silence the court and asked Li Wenzhen, "If you ask them to drive up the price, it will not be worth the loss for the court. Wenzhen never thought of this."

"I have naturally thought about it. In fact, the solution is very simple. It's just that this is a resentful idea. I have not answered it for a long time. I just want to see if the adults have better opinions."

"With me here, who dares to scold you, but it doesn't matter." The old emperor opened his mouth, and the ministers below all lowered their heads and silenced.

"The minister can just say it there." Li Wenzhen thanked the old emperor and said: "It is true that merchants value profits, and it is easy to solve. You must know that in my Tianqi, the status of merchants is extremely low. Although they are all rich, But one of the disciples is not allowed to take the imperial examination, and the second standard of living is restricted everywhere, so they can only bear the gold and silver."

"continue."

"I think they are very eager for others to respect them. If the court can set up idle positions and give them a name, I am afraid that the court will not need to pay a penny for this batch of disaster food, and the disaster in the northwest can be quelled." After Li Wenzhen finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became coaxed.

"Is the eldest prince in front of the emperor, advocating prostitution?" This time, the Lin cabinet did not speak. The person who interrupted him was the censor, whose surname was Cai, and he was quite old, more than ten years older than the old emperor. , was left by the late emperor, with gray hair and wide-open eyes, staring at Li Wenzhenyi with a desperate look.

"What's wrong." Li Wenzhen was not afraid of him, that was his idea.

Apart from the capital, the Northwest Pass is the place Li Wenzhen is most familiar with. He wandered in the military camp, and the arrogance of the eldest son of the emperor was worn away by his iron-blooded uncle, and then he followed the soldiers to attack the barbarians. Watching the life of the war continue to disappear, he was happy when he returned from numbness. drinking.

Perhaps it was all depression, but Li Wenzhen came across depressed businessmen and talents in restaurants and other places after several visits.

They enthusiastically said that they would work for Li Wenzhen, but Tianqi cheap merchants, aside from the accident of not being allowed to wear silk belts and jade uniforms, the biggest restriction is that the sons of merchants are prohibited from participating in civil and military imperial examinations, and they are not allowed to participate in politics for officials. These conditions doomed them to have no ambitions. but unable to perform.

Li Wenzhen remembers them, and also remembers all the talented and useless merchants in the world. If he wants to change this reality, he needs any opportunity to promote businessmen.

Like now.

Cai Yushi was annoyed by his words 'what's wrong', and pointed at Li Wenzhen for a long time, finally hindering the old emperor, he just cried bitterly: "The dignified prince, actually opened his mouth to sell merchants and sell officials. I should be ashamed of you."

Cai Yushi was getting old, and crying so abruptly, he didn't raise his breath, and fell down. The old emperor asked the eunuchs around him to help him down, and passed on the imperial doctor. Calm down.

"Cai Yushi is getting old, so it's inevitable that he's a little old-fashioned, and he can't see it. I feel that if he can handle the affairs of the Northwest, there is nothing wrong. For the sake of the entire Tianqi Kingdom, since it is the country, the country should be the most important thing, and the people should be the most important." Before the ministers in the hall could react, Li Taifu, who embraced Li Wenzhen, quickly put a big hat on Li Wenzhen's idea, and unexpectedly For a while, the others couldn't open their mouths.

Sitting on the dragon chair, the old emperor was a little embarrassed at first, after all, his ancestors had low business orders, so he violated the rules set by his ancestors, but the old emperor himself was not a pedantic person, and he only believed in beneficial rules in his heart. Cheap business order is not a favorable rule.

At this moment, after hearing Taifu Li's words, he took advantage of the slope to get down the donkey, slapped his thigh and said: "Okay, what a good one is to put the country first and the people first, pass on my order, and go to Antai and other places in Tuxian County in [-] li in a hurry. A merchant who is willing to donate [-] dans of grain can allow a child of his family to participate in the imperial examination, and anyone who donates [-] dans of grain can be rewarded with the post of ambassador of benevolence and kindness, and a plaque for the home of benevolence and kindness.”

"Yes."

With the words of the old emperor, the matter was quickly settled. The old emperor was very happy, so he continued to talk: "The food for the disaster relief has been settled, and there is still money for the disaster relief. This is the imperial envoy for the disaster relief. Zhen go do it."

Li Wenzhen was waiting for this, thinking about his friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time, when he was about to speak, he saw Li Wenyu, who had never spoken, stood up: "Father, my son is willing to go to the northwest to preside over the disaster relief."
