There is a limit to a person's endurance.
At first, Zhu Ben would be worried, impatient, and anxious all day long.
But over time, he began to become numb.
I'm just waiting for the day when my father comes to my door.
And this day should not be too far away.
The only motivation that keeps him going now is that he must not lose face in front of Li Changkong.
Otherwise, wouldn't the image of loyalty that I had worked so hard to build up be in flames?
Compared to him, Li Changkong is obviously much calmer. Even Zhen Jian is leisurely and leisurely, shouting and shouting dutifully every day, but he doesn't seem to be anxious at all.
…
In Nanhe Alley, Emperor Jing Xing and the others looked at Li Changkong from a distance and frowned.
This scene is actually a bit funny.
How could anyone buy mahogany that cost five taels of silver per pound?
It seems that Li Changkong is really not very smart. If he were a normal person, how could he do such a thing?
But even though you are here, you still have to ask questions.
Surrounded by a group of guards, Emperor Jing Xing walked towards Li Changkong with three cabinet bachelors and Zhu Wen, who was obviously malicious.
Someone stopped in front of his stall, blocking the sunlight. Li Changkong couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked up. When he saw it, he was shocked.
Jia Pingsheng did not remember him, but he remembered Jia Pingsheng.
Because he had a good relationship with Jia Taisui, he naturally knew that his father was the chief minister of the court.
But now, the chief minister of the dynasty was walking behind a middle-aged man. And just standing there, this middle-aged man had a sense of profundity and a sense of majesty that belonged to a superior.
Then the identity of this person is self-evident.
Li Changkong was about to kneel to the ground and shout long live.
However, Emperor Jing Xing raised his eyebrows and shook his head slightly.
When Li Changkong saw this, he immediately woke up.
Yes, this is a busy city.
His Majesty did not show off his dignity and was obviously on patrol incognito.
It would be inappropriate for me to expose His Majesty's identity at this time.
However, the etiquette should still be followed, so Li Changkong bowed his hands and said respectfully: "I have met you, sir."
Emperor Jing Xing nodded slightly when he heard this.
Deep in his eyes, there was a bit of surprise.
He was very sure that the Li Changkong in front of him had never seen him before, but he could recognize him at a glance.
And with just one glance, he understood his intention.
This... really doesn't look like someone with a stubborn brain disease.
Could it be that the rumors are wrong?
While Emperor Jing Xing was deep in thought, Zhu Ben was trembling uncontrollably.
But he also wanted to maintain his image in front of Li Changkong, so he managed to hold himself up and not show his weakness.
Qiang Zi looked at Zhu Wen calmly and said, "Dad, why are you here?"
When Zhu Wen saw this, he only glared at him fiercely but said nothing.
His Majesty is in person. This is a family matter, and he should let Your Majesty finish his questions first.
"Li Changkong, have you seen me?" Emperor Jing Xing spoke.
Li Changkong did not dare to neglect, and immediately said: "I have never seen him, but I saw Mr. Jia from a distance during the review."
"In my humble opinion, the only one who can walk in front of Mr. Jia is an adult."
Emperor Jing Xing couldn't help being speechless and praised: "You are quite quick-witted."
"Then do you recognize me...who am I, the young master?" At this time, Prince Liu Yu became somewhat interested after seeing Li Changkong.
Seeing that he had discovered his father's identity, he took the initiative to step forward and said this.
Li Changkong raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
It is said that the prince of this dynasty is uneducated and has a reputation similar to his own, which often worries the emperor.
In addition, the second prince had a reputation as a virtuous man and had the style of an ancient gentleman. Many people in the court were thinking of changing the heir apparent.
Since the person in front of me can come out with Emperor Jing Xing, is in second place, and has a slightly out-of-touch temperament, I guess it is the prince Liu Yu.
"I've met Master Yu!"
Li Changkong deliberately emphasized the word "Yu" to name Liu Yu's identity.
After hearing this, Liu Yu nodded, and the interest in his heart became even stronger.
This Li Changkong is a wonderful man!
"I wonder what the reason is for you to come to see me?"
Getting along with the emperor is still very stressful, and Li Changkong is very self-aware. His reputation has never been very good, and he is afraid that the emperor will not like him very much.
"In the review essay, there was an article on strategy, which talked about occupying the Canglan Mountains with a Shanzi camp to achieve the goal of advancing, attacking, retreating and defending. But what did you do?"
Li Changkong nodded after hearing this.
After all, these are things that can be investigated, and they are beneficial to you, so why deny it.
"It's really him!" Everyone present was stirred up in their hearts.
It's really... unbelievable that such an ignorant playboy and prodigal could actually write such an amazing policy.
"I've read your policy and it's very good."
"It has been handed over to the Ministry of War to discuss how to implement it. If you have any suggestions, you can say them all now."
Li Changkong thought for a moment and then said: "Sir, the key to this strategy is how to train the Shanzi Camp."
"I thought that since we want to train, we should find someone who is most familiar with the Canglan Mountains as our instructor!"
"The hunters who live at the foot of the mountain are a good choice."
"They make a living by hunting and go into the mountains every day. They are not only familiar with the terrain, but also know how to make a living in the mountains and forests."
"Although they don't know how to train soldiers, it is good to just talk about this knowledge and teach it to the soldiers of Shanzi Camp."
Emperor Jing Xing frowned slightly when he heard this.
The general has always been responsible for troop training, and with the addition of a few Orions, it feels a bit more nondescript.
But after all, it is advice, can you still be punished for your words?
"I will convey your advice to the Ministry of War. If it is effective, you will be credited."
"This is what you should do."
"Now that we've finished discussing merits, it's time to discuss faults." Emperor Jing Xing grimaced and said angrily: "How dare you price mahogany at five taels of silver per catty in this bustling city? You are really the best in the world. Big joke!"
"If everyone was like you, would the mahogany traders still have a business?"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Although Emperor Jing Xing was said to have a gentle temper, there was no way a king could be less majestic.
If you get angry at this time, it will be the emperor's wrath. If you do anything wrong, millions of corpses will be buried!
Li Changkong could even feel that the eyes of the surrounding guards looking at him were a bit colder, as if Emperor Jing Xing gave an order, they would swarm forward and take him down.
This is really a life-threatening problem.
Li Changkong swallowed and felt a little aggrieved: "Sir, I just put a price like this. Whether you buy it or not depends entirely on the buyer!"
"I never held a knife to force them to buy my mahogany."
“Is it possible that just because the price is a little higher, it becomes a sin?”
