After the Great Dynasty, the important ministers of the Pingzhang Palace sat down again, and Li Lan still set up another table on the left side five steps before his father's royal case.

Those who participated in the re-sitting were all court officials. After the Prime Minister Xie Bie led him to salute the throne and paid homage to the Prince Jian Guo, the atmosphere became somewhat subdued.Chen Mian looked around and asked first, "Will Prime Minister Xie introduce the ministers for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xie Bie was about to speak, Li Lan looked at him contemptuously, and said, "No need. I don't know about Dachao just now, all the princes here are the confidantes of my father, and I have seen them all before."

He actually reported the names and positions of all the important ministers one by one, mixed with some complaints that the emperor never made public, such as: "Father also said that you are always impeached for not repairing the inner curtain, and you really don't know how to respect yourself." " or "I also know that you always write memorials in a long-winded and trivial way, with a lot of nonsense, and the key points can only be seen at the end."

Even when Chen Mian greeted him, he said: "Your official language hasn't been spoken well for so many years. Father has told you many times."

The officials didn't even know whether they should be surprised that the prince's words were good, or that the emperor would actually say small things about his officials behind his back.

The emperor has always been gloomy and mean, reticent and unpredictable, and he is close to Shaohe and his courtiers.Even if they were able to enter the Pingzhang Palace to discuss politics and meet the emperor alone, they never knew that the emperor had such a lively temperament in private.

But the prince's familiarity with the government is no longer in doubt.They even began to think to some extent that the emperor never avoided His Highness the Crown Prince when he was receiving an audience, and they often heard or even witnessed the king of Chu reading memorials for the emperor.

This time, Xie Bie breathed a sigh of relief. Winning the trust of his courtiers is the first step to stabilize the court.Immediately afterwards, Prime Minister Xie couldn't help frowning again. It is conceivable that the emperor secretly slandered his courtiers, but the reason why he did so secretly was because the emperor wanted to be majestic and dignified, and speaking out would be frivolous.After all, Li Lan hasn't recovered from his unrestricted identity as a fool... I don't know if he can recover.At this age, even a good child should be taught to be stupid by the emperor.

Meng Wei was not surprised either, he felt that he was one of the few courtiers who knew how strong the crown prince was, recalled the emperor's usual gloomy and reticent, combined with these words Li Lan said, he wanted to laugh unexpectedly.

He suddenly understood why Li Lan had such obsessive and taboo thoughts about his biological father. Before, he thought that although the emperor was handsome, he was quite scary. Now he understood, obviously this is completely different to Li Lan's emperor. This person is totally different from what the courtiers usually see.

Although the courtiers were not convinced, they were more or less calmed emotionally. The previous doubts were melted because of the prince's response. They began to believe that the emperor might have been intending to cultivate the youngest son, but it was just a hindrance to things, so they used another excuse to cover it up.

After passing two passes, the important ministers dispersed, and Xie Bie remained behind as a minister "personally appointed" by the emperor. Meng Wei, who did not retreat after taking a look, solemnly said to Li Lan: "Your Highness is now the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom, you should Keep your word."

Li Lan put his legs up on the table, and under the persuasive gaze of Xie Bei and Meng Wei, he took it back under the table aggrievedly, and said in a low voice: "I know, I can't be disrespectful. Alas, father is really hard ... Prime Minister Xie, keep your word and keep your word. You can go back after approving the memorial later, and you don’t have to live in the palace. The minister should see you, but you should take Xiaomeng with you, he is your student , it’s good to learn more from you.”

Meng Wei owed himself to do so.Xie Bie pursed his lips, instead of arguing too much about the students, he proposed to the prince: "Your Highness has promised that Yun Chen will meet His Majesty."

Li Lan's complexion changed, but his eyes turned red after a while, and he said in a low voice, "You go and see, even if Father can recognize you... that's fine."

Thank you for asking to meet the emperor alone, Li Lan is of course unwilling, but Li Yan's condition is already bad, seeing him is even more abnormal, even Liping also thinks that at least Li Lan should not be there, and the little prince was so angry that he cried In the end, Meng Wei didn't know how to coax it.

Xie Bie went in for half an hour, and when he came out, there was still shock and confusion on his face.He carefully looked at Li Lan, who was eating flax candy with red eyes, from head to toe, took a deep breath and said, "I want to have a frank and honest talk with Your Highness."

Li Lan said "hmm", then turned her head and asked Meng Wei, "What do you mean by being open and honest?"

Meng Wei bowed his head and replied: "It means to meet each other honestly, and to share our thoughts with each other."

"Meet you honestly?" Li Lan thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to take off your clothes?"

Meng Wei held back his laughter, and said to him in a good-tempered manner: "My Highness, the one who wants to take off his clothes is naked."

Li Lan thought for a while, gestured with his fingers a few times, nodded and said, "I've made a note of it."

Xie Bie didn't find it funny, he pursed his lips and turned to look at Meng Wei, and said softly, "Go out."

Meng Wei didn't move, and looked at Li Lan respectfully to show that he was now the prince's close minister and Fei Yi's important minister, even if Xie Bie was the prime minister and his teacher, he couldn't call him around like this casually.

Xie Bie was not angry because of it, instead he calmed down from the anger and confusion just now, leaned forward and said: "It is my impoliteness. But it is about His Majesty's decency and His Highness's private affairs, I beg you to deal with it alone."

When Li Lan was still hesitating, Meng Wei already knew what his master wanted to talk to the prince about.He respectfully bowed to Li Lan and said, "Since Prime Minister Xie thinks that this is a secret matter in the palace, and that I should not hear about it, then I will leave first. Your Highness, I will wait outside. Your Highness can summon you at any time."

Li Lan nodded, put down the small plate of sugar, clapped his hands and said, "What does Prime Minister Xie want to say?"

Xie Bie didn't know how to speak for a moment, and after a while he said: "I have always wanted to know, and Your Majesty also wanted to know... Why did Your Highness do such a thing?"
