Prince Wei's Mansion, Study Room.

Wei Jisi was silent for a while, then suddenly said:

"A fortune teller in the court said that Li Xianmao Taizong is the emperor. From my perspective, his temperament is most similar to Gaozong's. He is exactly the same even if he is afraid of his wife and loves his daughter."

King Wei of the Great Zhou Dynasty sighed.

Boss Li asked cautiously:

"What the prince means is that if the saint insists and the situation is unavoidable, this family will not be unable to return to Luo. Is it better to win one or two more than the Prime Minister's side?"

Wei Jisi didn't even look at him and didn't answer. He lowered his eyelids and asked:

"Have you seen the young girl from Li Xian's family?"

"I am following the Sixth Young Master, and I have the honor to see the true appearance of this little princess, even though she is separated by a thin layer of gauze."

Wei Jisi asked calmly: "How do you look?"

"If you are not eighteen, your beauty will be lost."

Boss Li replied decisively, his eyes revealed memories again, and he sighed:

"Although there was a gauze layer between them, when the Sixth Young Master saw her from a distance for the first time, he couldn't move his eyes away. After that, he also spent some time forgetting to sleep and eat, and kept talking about the beauty.

"Even Mr. Qiu couldn't help scolding him."

"Rokuro, isn't he always not interested in women?"

Wei Jisi had a strange look on his face and said with great interest:

"There is a girl that he can't take his eyes away from, and she's in a remote country."

"After all, it's hard for a hero to be a beauty."

Boss Li is flattering and teasing:

"Besides, they are the bloodline of Emperor Gaozong and the Queen. This family is all very beautiful, and the little princess is especially outstanding."

Wei Jisi nodded and muttered:

"On that day, the portrait of the young girl Li Xian made by the palace painter was sent back to the capital. When I was watching it in my aunt's palace, I was not in the palace because of something, so I didn't see it.

"But I heard from my brother that Li Xian's young daughter looks like my aunt.

"And after this incident, the so-called plum blossom makeup became popular in the Luoyang court. Female officials, ladies and young ladies all rushed to decorate their foreheads with plum blossoms. It is said that this makeup came from this painting.

"I guess it was because my aunt couldn't put it down after the painting, and the people in the surrounding palaces tried to figure it out, and then they followed the example."

After pausing and thinking for a while, Wei Jisi said slowly:

"It seems that this little girl from the Li Xian family does look like my aunt when she was young, so my aunt is very happy to see this little granddaughter who has never been masked before.

"Oh, the last one to receive such grace and honor was the imperial daughter Princess Changle. Are we going to have another imperial granddaughter?"

Boss Li was thoughtful: "What the prince means is..."

Wei Jisi smiled coldly:

"Who said you have to go back to Luo as a whole family? Why do you need so many people to come back and ride on our Wei family?

"If a group of people is going back, one person is also going back."

Boss Li was as silent as a cicada.

Wei Jisi waved his hand:

"You go back to Jiangnan and tell Lan Changhao and Wang Lengran to wipe your butt clean before the Royal Envoy investigates. Don't show your ponytail and bother me again."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Boss Li lowered his head: "Prince Wang and Lan Changshi are so grateful for your help that they are extremely grateful."

Wei Jisi's expression remained unchanged:

"Especially from Wang Lengran's side, I heard that 300 of these mutinous garrison troops were from Zhechong Prefecture in Jiangzhou.

"When the time comes to be appeased by the envoy, put down your arms and return home, you ask Wang Lengran to think carefully about how to deal with it."

Boss Li was stunned: "Didn't he say that he was appeased and returned to his hometown? How can we deal with it? Does the prince want the governor Wang to find an excuse to drive these garrison troops away from Zhechong Mansion?"

Wei Jisi didn't speak, his lowered eyes fixed on the Persian businessman lying on the floor in front of the table who didn't understand the rules of the game.

Looking into his cold eyes, Boss Li suddenly shuddered.

Suddenly I understood something.

Wei Jisi sighed and said:

"Today in front of the emperor, Confucius Di asked me and Sixing how to prevent the slightest mistake.

"How to prevent subtle changes? Just in time, let Master and the whole world see the consequences of hindering Tianshu and the statue."

Boss Li nodded hastily: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Jisi waved his hand to indicate retreat.

Boss Li walked forward with a hesitant look on his face, turned back and whispered:

"By the way, my lord, I have an idea.

"This time the prince interceded with His Highness Prince Liang. In addition to helping Wang Jishi and Lan Changshi to clear up the relationship, he also helped Zhu Lingxu, the governor of Hongzhou.

"Most of the garrison soldiers in this mutiny were soldiers from Zhechong Prefecture in Hongzhou.

"If he hadn't been favored, Zhu Lingxu, as the highest official of the Hongzhou Military Mansion, would have been severely punished and suspended from his post."

"Zhu Lingxu?" Wei Jisi touched his chin: "I remember he is from King Teng of Hongzhou."

"He is considered to be a person supported by the old Prince Teng. He has good military skills and military exploits, but he is very close to Prince Teng's palace."

Boss Li knew all the treasures and explained:

"Prince Teng's surname is Li. He does not belong to the Taizong lineage. He is one of the few vassal kings of the Li clan who has not been greatly implicated in these years. But his attitude towards our Wei clan is indeed relatively cold."

The Persian businessman changed the subject:

"But Zhu Lingxu had a shortcoming, he loved money and was lustful. In order to extend the Guizhou garrison for one year, Lan Changhao traveled around and went to Hongzhou in person to give gifts to Zhu Lingxu.

"The prince also knows what happened next. This person collected the things and everything went smoothly."

Wei Jisi showed an interested expression, "What you mean is."

"Prince Teng's Mansion far away in the south of the Yangtze River can't help him in this matter. The prince is so powerful that he did it conveniently. Zhu Lingxu can be regarded as being protected by the prince's glory."

Boss Li rubbed his hands and said, "Young man, I stopped by without delaying anything. Let's see if he appreciates his kindness."

"Not a bad idea."

…

Ouyang Rong was at Xunyang Ferry at sunset when he received the envoy Khufu who had rushed from Luoyang, the capital of China.

The emperor's private envoy is called the Zhong envoy.

That is, the envoys sent by the palace are usually eunuchs.

In May in Jiangnan, the plums turn yellow.

The temperature had already risen, and it was even a bit hot and humid on a rainy day. Ouyang Rong had already put on the thin moon-white soap clothes that his junior sister had chosen to buy.

After waiting for a long time, he walked forward and was slightly startled when he saw the bearded middle-aged man in front of him walking down the deck.

"Envoy Hu Zhong?" Ouyang Rong tried to greet him.

"Ouyang Changshi."

The bearded middle-aged man in front of him nodded, with a serious expression, a strong voice and a polite tone.

I saw him wearing a crimson robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves, a turban on his head, a fair face and a slightly plump face, but no Adam's apple...

Ouyang Rong's eyes calmly moved away from the envoy's beard.

It's a bit rude to keep staring.

Khufu didn't seem to notice someone's extravagant look, he cupped his fists and said:

"Ouyang Changshi, you must have been waiting for a long time. There was some wind and waves on the road, so the Zajia family didn't arrive on time."

When Ouyang Rong heard the title of "Miscellaneous Family", he confirmed in his heart that this person should be a eunuch.

It's just that he didn't expect to look so powerful and rough.

However, after thinking about the abundant military virtues of Da Qian since the founding of the country, he could not even be ranked among the famous generals even if he destroyed small countries, Ouyang Rong felt that it was normal for the eunuch chief to look like this.

What's more, the envoy sent by Her Majesty the Queen this time has a heavy responsibility, so it is natural to choose a wise, brave and reliable person.

"The saint discussed matters with the princes and issued an edict. Ouyang Changshi should have received it, right?"

"One step earlier than Ambassador Hu. Jiangzhou Hall just received it in the afternoon."

"Hey, it seems that the Zajia family is not going very slowly. They are about to catch up with the imperial edict and hurry up."

Khufu smiled mockingly.

Ouyang Rong stood quietly and Long Xiu was silent.
