The study room was in a mess. The Yue kiln white porcelain tea set that looked like ice and snow was broken into crystal fragments. The antique mahogany desk fell aside. The precious purple inkstone fell on the bronze incense burner and fell into pieces. Scattered books were everywhere.
King Li Tai of Wei was sitting on a bench, breathing heavily. The veins on his forehead were twisting and squirming like a small green snake, which showed how strong the anger was in his heart.
Li Tai is eighteen years old this year, but he has a wide waist and belly, and is extremely fat. The fat on his face has squeezed his originally delicate face out of shape. His facial features are gathered together in one place, which is very funny, and there is only a pair of
Eyes sparkle.
"Cen Wenwen, I really want to eat your flesh!"
Li Tai cursed fiercely and was extremely angry.
What a great opportunity! As long as you can patrol the counties in Guanzhong on behalf of the prince, you will actually have the momentum to be equal to the prince or even replace him. Then, with a little guidance of public opinion, supplemented by the support of important ministers in the court, and the favor of the father, great things can be done.
It’s done!
The results of it?
Everyone is calling that old guy Cen Wenwen for messing with porn!
Although there are still opportunities to patrol the counties in Guanzhong, there are also several princes such as Wu Wang Li Ke, Qi Wang Li You, and Shu Wang Li Min. They are stirring up the big pot and taking the lead with themselves. Can their nature be the same?
The more Li Tai thought about it, the angrier he became. There was a fire in his chest and abdomen that could not be vented, and his face became more ferocious.
Liu Lei, the right minister of Shangshu, saw Li Tai throwing things and knew that it would be useless to persuade him based on his temper, so he moved a stool and sat at the door to avoid harming the fish. It would be bad if something fell on him.
…
Liu Lei was very proud in his heart, but he had a bitter and resentful expression on his face. He kept sighing. When Li Tai dropped something, he would sigh.
He can indeed be proud of himself. As a minister with no real power, he has reached the limit of his ability, and he was just a little bit successful. Unfortunately, he failed in his efforts and was messed up by that old fox Cen Wenwen.
It's not that our army is incompetent, it's that our opponents are too cunning...
His performance was enough for His Highness King Wei to remember this contribution, but Liu Lei was somewhat disapproving of King Wei's anger.
What do you think is the easiest way to store cabbage?
A drop of water piercing a rock cannot be accomplished in a day. This matter naturally requires long-term planning and enough patience. How can you care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool?
Of course, he didn't dare to dissuade Li Tai with his violent temper. If he dared to dissuade him, the only complete Yue kiln celadon vase on the bookshelf might fly to his head in a second...
There was a lot of banging with ping-pong-pong in the study, which naturally attracted the attention of other people in the house.
After a while, a woman wearing a purple palace dress and a phoenix hairpin walked in.
This woman has a beautiful face. Although she is not considered to be a natural beauty, she is dignified and quiet. She has a natural beauty. Her skin is white, her figure is slim, and she has a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
Liu Lei quickly stood up, bowed and saluted: "I have met the princess."
The woman in palace attire returned the favor with a smile: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood and has been rude for many times. Please forgive me, sir."
Liu Lei was flattered and said hurriedly: "How dare you, how dare you, the princess is like this, how can I ask Liu to take care of her? I'm going to ruin Liu."
This is not Liu Lei's pretentiousness. You must know that in this era, the word "sir" is not something that can be called casually, except for the teacher who taught him. When the word "sir" comes out of his mouth, it means that he is a confidant.
Princess Wei's surname is Yan and her given name is Wan. She was born into the Yan family of the Guanlong gentry and was the daughter of Yan Lide, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Of course, she had an uncle who was very famous in later generations, the author of "Pictures of Emperors of the Past Dynasties" and the famous painter Yan Liben.
Princess Wei lives up to her name, she is gentle and gentle.
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, at the age of eleven, she was selected as the concubine of King Li Tai of Wei. After all, she was born in a famous family, had a good upbringing, and had a wide range of knowledge. Of course, such small tricks to win over people's hearts are readily available and cost-effective.
Happy but not doing it?
After comforting Liu Lei for a few words, Princess Wei walked up to Li Tai and signaled to the maid behind her: "Everything has been cleaned up. I ordered the kitchen to set up a table and leave Liu Yushi to have a light meal in the evening."
Liu Lei quickly said: "I dare not bother the princess, I am a humble minister..."
Li Tai raised his head, glared at him and yelled: "You can stay if I tell you to. Isn't it difficult for the princess to talk to you?"
"Well……"
Liu Lei almost choked to death at Li Tai's words and was sweating profusely: "Wei Chen doesn't dare, Wei Chen doesn't dare..."
Princess Wei glared at Wei Wang Li Tai, and said with a slightly angry face: "You are really vulgar. Fortunately, there are rumors outside that His Highness the King of Wei is a Wenquxing who descended to earth. His literary, Taoist and military skills are eight battles high. I see, they are all
That’s nonsense…”
As the saying goes, one thing brings down another. In front of Princess Wei, the arrogant and domineering King Wei actually looked slightly embarrassed: "Even if Cao Zijian comes back to life, he can't open his mouth and keep silent, right? It's better to be more casual at home. Are you right, old man?
Liu?"
Liu Leixin said that you and I are so funny, why should I be used as a raft?
But he did not dare to be vague: "Your Majesty is right, this is called returning to nature, and a true celebrity..."
King Wei Li Tai laughed loudly: "Well said! Old Liu's flattery skills are much better than your ability as an official."
Liu burst into tears and sweated profusely and was speechless...
Seeing that Li Tai's mood improved, Princess Wei smiled faintly and waved her little hand. The few maids behind her quickly got busy, but their little faces were tight and cautious, and they did not dare to look at His Highness King Wei.
With rustling sounds, the palace maids moved quickly and tidied up the study room in a blink of an eye.
Princess Wei smiled at Liu Lei and said, "Liu Yushi, please sit with His Highness for a while."
After that, he led all the maids to retreat together.
Liu Lei quickly stood up to see her off. When Princess Wei turned around and disappeared through the moon gate, she sat down again.
"Old Liu, tell me, is there any room for change in this matter?"
After getting angry, Li Tai began to think about business.
Liu Lei sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's a done deal. Your Majesty, with his golden mouth, can't you just change it?"
Of course Li Tai knew this, but even though he knew it, he felt unwilling to do so.
At that moment, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "What the hell, the prince is a loser, and there is still someone to protect him? The most disgusting thing is that old guy Cen Wenwen. This old bastard has eaten the scale and is determined to protect the third child.
, I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup that sanctimonious guy Li Ke gave him, it’s damn good!”
Liu Lei did not dare to accept this. To criticize the prince would be a serious crime against the nine clans, even in the King of Wei's family.
Liu Lei changed the subject and pretended to be mysterious: "However, although this matter cannot be changed, there is still room for manipulation..."
Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard this: "What's the plan?"
Liu Lei smiled and said: "After the dynasty is dismissed today, Your Majesty will leave Wei Chen alone and ask Wei Chen to be responsible for the affairs of the princes in patrolling Guanzhong."
Li Tai suddenly stood up: "But you will allocate the governorships among the kings?"
Liu Lei chuckled and said: "Exactly, Wei Chen has chosen a place for His Highness. LT County has not yet been chosen by King Wu. His Highness has chosen XF County. Smart people talk to save trouble. Liu Lei said it so vaguely that Li Tai suddenly realized
.
"The blue sky has arrived in Chang'a County, which is rich and prosperous. The disaster is the least severe this time. His Highness raised his arms and the gentry and wealthy businessmen would certainly be enthusiastic about donating money and food. And Xinfeng is located at the foot of Lishan Mountain, on the shore of the Weishui River, and tightly controls the Weishui River. Although it is also
It can be said that it is wealthy, but there are many wharves in the county, thousands of employees, and businessmen from all over the country gather here, so the population is diverse. Although His Highness King Wu has a reputation as a virtuous man, it is not easy to take money from the pockets of businessmen to buy grain.
thing?"
Liu Lei said proudly.
Li Tai nodded and said: "His Majesty agrees to your request and appoints His Majesty the kings to patrol Guanzhong. It is not just about taking a look, but also about discovering problems and solving them. How to solve them? Naturally, he calls on the gentry and merchants to donate money and food.
Whoever has better grades will have the upper hand!"
Liu Lei smiled and said: "That's right. Your Highness is still angry?"
Li Tai laughed loudly: "The anger? It's gone, it's all gone! This time, not only will Lao San be defeated, but I will also let him, my father, and all the ministers realize that I, Li Tai, have outstanding abilities.
The one who should succeed the crown prince most!"
Liu Lei praised him at the right time: "Your Highness, the time is right, the location is favorable, and both people and people are in your hands. It can be said that it is destiny, so why worry about not being able to achieve great things?"
Li Tai looked excited and stood up and said, "I'm in a good mood today. Come on, let's go out and drink wine."
Liu Lei was stunned, wondering: "But just now the princess has ordered Wei Chen to stay..."
Li Tai stared: "Is she older or am I older?"
Liu Lei was helpless: "Of course you are the one..."
"You have to listen to me when you are older."
Liu Lei was confused and said to herself, don't let the princess mistakenly think that I lured His Highness to go out to find flowers and ask for help. Otherwise, if he is hated by a princess, or even a woman who has a good chance of becoming the queen, the ending should not be too ugly...
Li Tai walked to the door, minding his own business, and suddenly asked: "A few days ago, the fifth child was beaten by the second child of the Fang family, do you know?"
Liu Lei didn't know why: "Of course I know. The trouble has reached the imperial court and the city is full of uproar."
"What's the name of that restaurant?"
Li Tai asked.
Liu Lei felt that she couldn't keep up with His Highness's thinking. She was stunned for a moment and then said: "It seems to be called... Zuixian Tower?"
Li Tai slapped his thigh: "It's Zuixian Tower, let's go there today! It's said that the two of them started fighting because of jealousy over a poor man. It can make the pretentious Lao Wu and the man who spends all day dancing with swords and sticks start fighting.
The silly roe deer Zifang Er punched each other, that Qingguo'er must be pretty good, let's go and see him!"
Can Liu Lei say no?
No, I can only think silently in my heart, Princess, your highness forced me to go, so you don’t blame me...

I'm late in writing today, so I'll give you 3,000 words, so I apologize...
