Li Yong walked into the hall.

The emperor looked at the memorial in his hand and didn't say anything for a long time. The prince next to him stood aside with his face down, as if he was afraid of angering the emperor and causing some disaster.

Li Yong lifted his official uniform and knelt down.

The emperor raised his head. Although he was imprisoned in prison for a day and a night, Li Yong's eyes were still very clear, his official uniform was also very neat, his face was not afraid or panic, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant. It was rare to have such a demeanor at such an age.

The emperor looked over majestic: "You said that the Ji family could transport food into the capital, so I will give you this opportunity. Whether Ji Yuanheng can save his life depends on whether the words you said can be fulfilled..."

"I will definitely do my best to live up to the emperor's kindness." Li Yong's calm voice sounded in the hall.

The prince's eyes flashed and he immediately frowned. Unexpectedly, Li Yong was released like this. He wanted to stop his father from doing this, but he did not dare to speak.

Then he thought, this would be beneficial to him. The burden on him was taken away by Li Yong. No matter whether the food in Hebei was enough, he could order Li Yong to prepare. Even if the food was not collected in the end, he could let Li Yong take the blame.

Li Yong retreated after thanking him.

"Father," the prince remembered those who put him in danger, "Ran Liu and Gu Heng must not let them go easily, otherwise anyone can ignore the laws of the court in the future and must punish them severely."

If you don't punish them, where will his face be placed?

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what do you think you will punish?"

The prince bowed and said, "If there is a real war on Hebei Road, let them go." Ran Liu and the others were used to enjoying themselves on weekdays, and they just talked sarcastic words in front of their father. How dare they come forward when they really fight?

The emperor said: "If they really make military achievements, will they become more unscrupulous in the future?"

If you really have the ability, you won’t be a dandy, especially when Ran Liu learned literature only to recite poems and write counterfeits, and he could only ride horses to hunt, and he didn’t know anything else. It would be strange if such a person could make military achievements.

The prince said solemnly: "When the father and the emperor are kind and powerful, the Wu Dynasty will add several pillars of the country."

The emperor put together the memorials in his hand: "Then let the prince do what he said, release them from the prison and prepare to go to the important frontier town."

The prince took the order and walked out of the hall. He was indescribable to express his joy. He was the prince of the Wu Dynasty. No one would end up unhappy if he was not happy.

...

War was about to be fought on the frontier. First, the court officials received the news, and then the merchants running around found clues.

The capital was originally a place where merchants gathered. If there was a little disturbance, the big merchants would ask each other for information. Now everyone is gathered at the door of the Li family, hoping to hear Li Yue say something.

"My master will not see guests." Du Yu once again refused everyone.

If Lee Yo said that he would not meet, he would really disappear.

The head of the Li family always said that he had a perfect idea. A few years ago, he suddenly took over the Li family's industry and made a big business in a blink of an eye. At that time, the largest merchant in the Wu Dynasty had to come to him respectfully to ask for advice. As long as what Li Yue said would definitely come true, it was as difficult to get him an idea, so they had to follow the Li family. No matter what Li Yue did, they would learn to make some small gains.

This time, the Li family collected grain like this. Is it necessary to open the grain business all over the Wu Dynasty? Should they collect it with them?

Everyone couldn't help but whisper.

While speaking, someone said, "Go in and report to the Zong Chief, the Third Master is here."

Everyone looked at each other and saw a man in his twenties coming down from his horse, wearing a scarlet official uniform, his eyes were a bit calm and concentric, and he looked very heroic.

"Third Master," said the servant of the Li family, "Zong Chan will not see guests today, please go back!"

Li Yong frowned slightly: "Is Uncle Fourth feeling uncomfortable?"

"The sect leader only said that no one would meet, so the third master should not make things difficult for us."

After the doorman finished speaking, he saluted and closed the door.

The people outside the door couldn't help but feel disappointed. If even the Li family couldn't knock on the door, they wouldn't have to think about it.

Li Yong had no choice but to get on his horse and leave.

"That Master Li San is going to go to the south to collect grain."

"The Li family leader did not see him, which means that the Li family has made up their minds to do this business. Isn't it going to compete for grain in this way?"

"The two Li family members are willing to compete for food, which shows that the food will definitely be sold at a high price this year."

"Then what are you waiting for? Get started!"

Ji Yanran listened carefully to the discussion, and she lowered the curtains until the carriage walked out of the alley and left the crowd.

As soon as Li Yong came out of the palace, the news that the emperor ordered him and the Marquis of Yongchang to prepare military rations had spread throughout the capital. The emperor indeed wanted to use Li Yong to deal with Li Yue.

Rong's mother in the carriage couldn't help but say, "The Zong Chief is so powerful. He is the only one who dares to collect grain at this time. He is the only one who sings on stage with the court."

Lee Yoo is a cautious person, and he will do this because he cooperates with her and Ah Yong.

Li Cheng smiled slightly: "It's hard for others to say, but if it were the Zongchang court, he would give him some thin face. You should know that there were insufficient grain in recent years, and local officials had to borrow money from merchants. Zongchang was not holding one or two loan notes. No one could make things difficult for him just by this. Now Zongchang wants to collect grain, and merchants from no matter where they are, they will reach out to help. Brother Yong went to Jiangnan to collect military rations, and it really took some effort. It would be difficult to collect all of them for a while."

At the end, Li Cheng's expression had become very serious.

Ji Yanran understood what this said. Even if it was acting or cooperation, they and the fourth uncle had to temporarily walk on two roads, because even if it was fake, it would make people unable to see any mistakes.

The carriage stopped at the door of Li's house. As soon as Ji Yanran got off the car, she saw several people with bruised noses and swollen faces standing at the door.

Several people were like roosters, shaking their feathers, without feeling tired at all. Instead, Ran Liu gained a lot of weight.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yanran couldn't help but find it funny. It seemed that both the Ran family and the Gu family had used money to make money. Otherwise, how could these masters be so glamorous?

However, it may not be beneficial for them to be released from prison earlier.

Have you all entered together? Ran Liu was about to talk to Li Cheng, but Ji Yanran had already looked over: "Master Ran Liu, you won't want to go to war with the army, right?"

Ran Liu raised his eyebrows, flashed his surprised expression, and then said proudly: "How do you brother and sister know? Yes, that's right, the emperor has ordered us to join the army in the frontier."

Li Cheng's face sank: "You are going to join the army?"

Ran Liu nodded: "Yes, I want to go too."

Li Cheng continued: "What do you know?"

Ran Liu couldn't help but froze there, and after a while he said embarrassedly: "Is it true to be able to ride a horse?" When the news was sent home, his grandmother and mother immediately started crying. The father took his aide to discuss how to save it. Although he said bold words in the hall, he did not expect that it would be the result.

Ran Liu laughed lightly and said, "I may not necessarily die, right? Besides, fighting against foreign enemies is what a real man should do, and even if he dies, it is worth it."

Lin Shaoying stepped forward and patted Ran Liu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will take care of you."

"I don't need you..."

A few people laughed and made the atmosphere much more relaxed.

Ji Yanran returned to the house and was about to change her clothes before she went to entertain the guests. She had just ordered Qiu Lan to pick up her clothes when she heard footsteps coming from behind her, and then she was dragged into her arms by Li Yong.
