Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows and came to Fang Xuanling's side to mutter for a while.
Fang Xuanling's brows suddenly raised, and she looked at Cheng Yaojin with a surprised face. "What do you mean..."
"Hehehehe, isn't this the inspiration that His Majesty the Emperor teased my third child and brought to me, Lao Cheng. How about Lao Fang?"
"No, no, no, brother Zhijie, if you do this, if there is something..."
Fang Shen stayed quietly outside the door of the study, staring blankly at General Cheng, a powerful martial artist, who was chatting with his gentle and easy-going master.
After the second young master left Chang'an, the master was worried about the affairs of the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses, and had to deal with these high-ranking officials in the imperial court in person.
It's too hard for me to say, but if I don't take action, the eldest son, who is too introverted, can't communicate with those powerful ministers.
When the interests of the Lao Fang family are harmed, who will they turn to for explanation?
Although I am not happy to deal with a bunch of vulgar warriors, for the sake of the future of the Fang family, I can only bite the bullet.
Sigh... I don’t know what the second young master is doing in Luzhou now.
Alas, after a few years, I can't help but miss the lively scene when the second young master was in the mansion.
Although at that time, the master often beat the second young master with a big stick and beat him until he screamed, but at least the whole family was very energetic.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open. Fang Shen quickly stepped aside and saw the master and General Cheng leaving hand in hand.

Li Shimin walked outside the gate of Ganlu Hall, and after watching Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling say goodbye, he couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with a headache.
After exhaling a breath, he turned around and entered the palace, where he saw Empress Changsun, who had been staying in the inner room, walking towards her.
Li Shimin smiled at Empress Changsun, tilted his buttocks and sat on the edge of the couch, picked up a tea cup and moistened his throat, saying quite sadly.
"Guanyin Maid, those three little bastards are simply giving me a problem..."
Empress Changsun sat next to him, poured out the cold remaining tea in the tea cup, and poured tea for her husband again.
Looking at her husband, who was frowning in front of her, Empress Changsun nodded in agreement.
"What my husband said is true. After all, this involves my husband's reputation. If Your Majesty agrees, I'm afraid there will be many more voices of criticism in the court."
"Yes, but I also think Fang Qing and Cheng Qing's concerns are reasonable.
That group of people, now that they heard about the success of the Han and Tang Dynasties in planting pepper, have already begun to make plans."
"Previously, someone asked the Ministry of Industry to promote cotton planting in Guanzhong, but I rejected it on the grounds that Guanzhong is short of food and is not allowed to change crops without authorization..."
Having said this, Li Shimin stroked his brow in pain, not one of these guys was a fuel-efficient lamp.
Many things and various methods, overt and covert, are really very troublesome.
Just like when he first compiled "Clan Chronicle", it was the same, but it made him very upset.
In the end, he just flipped the table and took action himself, overthrowing all the original "Clan Chronicles" and giving those aristocratic families a hard beating.
But the problem is that the imperial court is not only opposed to these aristocratic families who only seek power for the family, but also has to rely on them to govern the world.
Because they almost represent the majority of the scholar circle, and the simplicity of the poor scholars is like a drop in the bucket for the current court.
"Thank you for your hard work, husband. This matter doesn't end here. It's better to take a look first and then talk about it."
Empress Changsun nodded with deep understanding, but she was also at a loss what to do.
Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
"Well, what Guanyin Maid said is absolutely true. Let's take a look now. I naturally want to be on the side of the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants."

Deep in the East Palace, Prince Li Chengqian put aside the letter that Brother Chu Bi had sent to him, stood up, and walked slowly around the room.
This is really a big problem. It is not impossible to persuade the father himself.
Without sufficient reasons, I could only rely on Brother Chu Bi's inference and outlook to do this. After all, I couldn't persuade my father.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian stopped, looked at the steaming iron stove not far away, and murmured in a low voice.
"Brother Chu Bi, you left me here in Chang'an and created such a difficult problem for me. It's really..."
Ning Zhong on the side heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's complaints like a grudge, and couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Li Chengqian tilted his head, took a good look at Ning Zhong, and asked casually, "Ning Zhong, in your opinion, what should we do?"
Ning Zhong quickly saluted Li Chengqian respectfully.
"I think it would be best for Your Highness not to get involved in this matter..."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Ning Zhong saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face darken, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly continued.
"Cheng Changshi also said that I just hope that your highness can help you think of ways and give suggestions, rather than asking your highness to persuade your majesty."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian's expression softened slightly and he continued to walk slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Although Brother Chu Bi said so, I can't just do nothing if I can't think of a way or give any suggestions. Wouldn't it make me, the prince, too incompetent?"
"Sigh... It's just that Yu Qing is not suitable to get involved in this matter, otherwise you can ask him for advice..."
"..." Ning Zhong rolled his eyes helplessly. Unexpectedly, that guy had already left Chang'an for so long.

However, His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude towards him remained the same as before, and he could not even tolerate his loyal servant to say an unfavorable word against that vulgar warrior Cheng Sanlang.
Isn’t it just that from time to time, he sends His Highness the Crown Prince some local specialties from that poor place in Luzhou?
Don't you just write some postcards to His Royal Highness from time to time?
I can do that too, Ning Zhong complained depressedly while maintaining a respectful attitude.
At this moment, Li Chengqian, thinking hard, walked aside and looked at the bamboo wine rack in a corner of the room.
It was also brought over by Brother Chu Bi. It was a large wine rack woven with a large number of bamboos and had several layers.
The top floor is stacked with a dazzling array of beautiful white porcelain wine bottles.
A beautiful white porcelain vase with a narrow neck was just delivered. There are three positive inscriptions on it, which are exactly what I wrote: "Beginning Immortal Druid".
Li Chengqian picked up this beautiful white porcelain thin-necked bottle and saw the writing on the bottom of the bottle, which was still written by his own hand.
A few small words written, Luzhou Tangjiang Winery’s rare wine.
Just a wine bottle is so beautiful, but its content can only hold two kilograms of wine.
However, with Brother Chu Bi's temperament, coupled with the taste and aroma of Banxian Zui, Li Chengqian also found it very enjoyable.
If you don't sell one or two bottles of it, I'm afraid it's really unjustifiable.
