First, Mr. Lu patted Li Jie on the shoulder because they were close to each other.
It's unclear whether this means praise or regret.
Then there was Han Zhen's peripheral vision, and then there was the fist that hit him from behind.
At this moment, Li Jie felt as relaxed as if a thousand kilograms of burden had been lifted off him.
Damn it! These gentlemen... this scene is really unbearable.
It would be false to say that Li Jie was not tempted.
Just after the brothers mentioned it, he seemed to see his high spirits in the Ministry of Industry...
But he is not stupid!
Who is he following now? He is the prince, the only heir to the dynasty.
Perhaps now that he goes to the Ministry of Industry, he can be promoted quickly, but where is his foundation?
Despite his father's rank as a transport envoy, his character was always criticized. If he wanted to really make a difference in the court, he would have to wait until the crown prince ascended the throne.
When the track was being laid, he would definitely be a hot commodity, but what about after it was laid? He would definitely be thrown away like trash, and no one would remember him anymore.
After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, there will be someone to replace him in the East Palace...
The final result is self-evident.
The key is, he is here now and doing what he does is really comfortable.
He was still afraid of the court. From what his father said, he also knew that he did not have the foundation to mess around in the court.
Li Jie knows how to choose.
Fu Bi and others looked at Li Jie...if he had any profound meaning.
The old ministers of Qiandi will definitely rise to prominence when the prince ascends the throne.
And the old ministers of Qiandi, because they have been stationary for many years, will form a strong sense of teamwork. Throughout history, this has been the case.
What's more, someone like His Highness the Crown Prince has the talent of an eternal emperor... that's all.
Even my own children and grandchildren, none of them can enter the East Palace.
The next banquet really became a banquet. These old people, who are not shy, actually called the young lady back again...
There is no curfew in the country, but the palace gates will be closed.
Although Zhao Xi's excuse was poor, no one stopped him... They were all underage, and Zhao Xi really didn't want to play with these tricks.
As for Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian... they have families outside the palace, and everyone knows that they are just decorations.
So, they went back, leaving everyone else and the wine behind.
Before entering the courtyard gate of the East Palace, Zhao Xi heard what sounded like music...
It's the general's order!
I go, how is it possible?
Zhao Xi still underestimated Fan Lou’s spreading power in Bianliang.
The number of people entering and leaving Fanlou every day can be described as massive.
That's the stall where they were talking about business, and those young ladies were already singing in Fanlou.
Originally, he had a high level of musical attainment, and General Ling was a popular product... There was even a girl who played and sang in another box that night.
As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince having a banquet at Fan Tower, the news spread naturally.
How could the palace know? Because Cao Xiang was also in Fanlou at that time.
When I heard that His Highness was in Fanlou, I was so frightened that I ran away. Before I left, I didn't forget to ask the young lady for the lyrics.
He hurriedly ran back and told the palace as if he had to show off...
"Third brother..."
"Mr. Lang..."
It's just different. Even when a man of his family goes to a banquet, the music that comes out is not about the girl he likes, but a heart-stirring and passionate music.
In her mind, this woman simply forgot who owned the original songs of the General Order, and directly wore them all on her own men.
No, there is a room full of women who are trying their best to play and sing for men to improve themselves!
The next day was for rest in the court, which was Zhao Xi's habit.
If there is no urgent matter, my father will take some time off in the court.
At this time, Zhao Xi usually stays in the guard camp for a day.
Whether it's training or talking to Su Song, it's more comfortable than being in the palace.
"Ming Zhong, please take a rest today..."
This Li Jie finally came back and finally met Xiu Mu, who was also staying in the guard camp.
Zhao Xi gave him a house in the weapons prison, but it was not like he had no place to live.
"My father returned to Beijing to report on his work..."
Oh, he gave it to his father, which is quite filial.
Zhao Xi watched Li Jie thinking about music... This kid had many hobbies, so he left without disturbing him.
Filial piety? Zhao Xi was a little wrong this time.
Li Jie's refusal to be recruited by his husband was also reported.
If he were a scholar, this would be a good talk. Perhaps when the princes talked about this matter, they would also use Li Jie's good character as a talking point.
Unexpectedly...
"Do you think you are a Jinshi? You can use this to build your reputation and wait for one day to be reused by the court?"
"You are not Wang Jiefu, you are just Li Mingzhong. Nowadays, track laying is about to become a hot business in the imperial court. Do you know what kind of opportunities you will get when you serve in the Ministry of Industry?"
"You really think you can rely on the prince? You are naive! The imperial court is composed of ministers and the royal family, and they are also two forces that check and balance each other! You are not a member of the royal family, so you should integrate into the ministers!"
"Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be? You are alienated from your ministers, and the royal family will never treat you as one of their own, not even as good as a chamberlain!"
This is what his father said after he found out.
This is his father, and he cannot argue, so he can only listen obediently.
A minister who had never come into contact with His Highness the Crown Prince looked at the future court with old eyes... Li Jie was even worried about his father.
It was just talk, but his father actually wanted to drag him to see Mr. Fu...
Realizing that he couldn't stay any longer, Li Jie sneaked out immediately.
No matter what, he planned to stay in the guard camp and wait for his father to take office and leave.
Your Highness's man should strive for self-improvement, but the melody seemed a little inconsistent. It just so happened that he took this time to think about it.
Zhao Xi doesn't like morning court, because it's not a place for discussion.
Although people talk a lot, they still have their own demands. Even if it is a trivial matter, they can still spend the whole morning in a loud voice.
It seems that these ministers did it deliberately and were another kind of resistance to the early dynasty system.
But if it were just for the early morning, they would say that the emperor was slacking off... the ministers and servants were not easy to serve.
This time is different.
Just after taking a rest, the so-called lunar morning dynasty came.
"His Royal Highness initiated the idea that the rail capacity is now available, and the country and the DPRK should liberalize the laying of rails to promote the inaccessible areas of northern shipping..."
Well, it makes sense, let's call it righteousness first. Zhao Xi just listened to it, even if he pulled his own tiger skin, he didn't take it as a banner.
Next comes the real drama.
"The tax revenue of the country is insufficient, and the shortcomings of the three redundancies have only been slightly improved by His Highness's move. The track has been fully laid out in the country, and it is difficult for the court to finance the expenditure. It is beyond its power. Therefore, I believe that the court should delegate power to the local governments, or perhaps
It’s private participation in track laying..."
Sure enough, it came.
Zhao Xi looked at Fu Bi, who nodded slightly...
How can we say that this is Fu Bi telling him about his plan to recycle grain? Otherwise, how could they have the money to lay tracks?
Anyway, this is what Zhao Xi expected.
Laying tracks across the entire country will affect more than just steel and timber industries. It will promote the development of many related industries.
However, Taizu added wings to the brim of his hat to prevent whispering in the court, but it could not prevent his ministers from communicating in private.
