Lao Jia, why are you on duty again today? "
Commander Jia glanced at Young Master Liu slightly: "You mind me, I am happy to come out and stand, so I should just exercise my body!"
Commander Jia did not look at Young Master Liu at all. To others, Young Master Liu was Duke Dingguo, one of the five princes. To Commander Jia, the two of them were close friends in private.
Commander Jia knew that he would be unhappy if he saw Young Master Liu outside.
"Sure, go on, this young master has entered the palace!"
Lao Jia didn't allow himself to see anyone, so Young Master Liu naturally didn't treat him as an outsider, so he shrugged and walked towards the palace.
Lao Jia shrugged casually and pretended not to notice. It was more convenient for this master to enter the palace than for him.
The emperor acquiesced and said nothing else, but routine body searches by soldiers were still indispensable.
The soldiers carefully inspected the situation and respectfully sent Young Master Liu into the palace gate.
Rules are rules. You can't ignore the rules just because Young Master Liu is favored. This is your duty.
Liu Mingzhi approached the palace gate and rushed towards the imperial study with an anxious expression.
As soon as they arrived home, Qinglian and the girls told him about the third princess entering the palace, and the reason for the matter was clear to him!
After thinking about it for a moment, Liu Mingzhi understood the emperor's intention. It was simply that he was too young and standing too firmly in the military's footsteps would threaten the prince's authority after he succeeded to the throne.
The third princess' fear of being alone in an empty room was just an excuse for the emperor to slander himself.
Liu Mingzhi believed that many important ministers understood the emperor's thoughts, but he was not afraid of some foolish officials making fun of him.
Liu Mingzhi's worries are not unreasonable. Some officials can be ranked in the second class just because they have higher IQ, which does not mean they also have high emotional intelligence.
If the third princess collides with the emperor, it won't be a big problem, but if there is any gap left, it will be bad.
In my own impression, the third princess was always the silly girl who was a bit cute and upright.
Liu Mingzhi also knew that the third princess was definitely one of the few girls with a thoughtful mind, but as a couple, it was inevitable that she would be a little worried.
The saying "A companion to a king is like a tiger to a companion" is no joke.
"Hey, father-in-law, you are back from the wedding!"
When Fu Hai returned from the Prince's Mansion, he happened to meet Young Master Liu who was about to arrive at the Imperial Study Room and came over immediately to greet him.
"Hello, Eunuch Fu, what are you doing..."
Fuhai sighed helplessly and talked about his official duties, while Liu Mingzhi's face looked a little strange.
It is really unfortunate to be the son of a prince.
They didn't dare to be stubborn with the old man, so they could only use small tricks to show off. These two men just wanted to come out one after another.
"Is the third princess in His Majesty's royal study?"
"It was true that he was still here when we left, but now we don't know. Anyway, sir, you have to pay homage to His Majesty. You will know when you get there!"
"That's right, Eunuch Fu, let's go together!"
"Master, please!"
Young Master Liu didn't know that the third princess had already left the palace on horseback. He could only blame it on the many roads in the capital, so he passed by her by accident.
The two of them walked outside the imperial study room. Liu Mingzhi stopped and looked at Fuhai with a faint smile.
"Good work!"
"Master, wait a moment!"
A moment later, Fuhai's sharp voice came: "Your Majesty summons Duke Ding to come to the palace to pay an audience!"
Liu Mingzhi straightened his clothes and walked towards the imperial study: "My son, Liu Mingzhi, is here to see my father!"
"No courtesy, sit down!"
"Thank you, Father!"
"What do you two think? One of you has just left, and the other has arrived. You really think that the palace is your own back garden. You can come and leave as you please!"
Liu Mingzhi sat on the chair and looked at the emperor in amazement, Yan'er went back? When did it happen? I haven’t met this young master!
He scanned the hall slightly, except for Li Baiyu who was reviewing the memorials, there was really no sign of Yan'er. The corner of his mouth twitched, something went wrong!
"As soon as I returned to the capital, I came to pay my respects to my father. Yan'er is Yan'er, and I am an son. I felt relieved when I saw that my father, Long Case, was safe and sound. In this case, I will retire!"
Li Zheng's face froze and he hesitated to speak as he looked at Liu Da's figure who was about to leave.
Damn it, you really treat the palace as your own back garden. I usually dote on you too much!
"etc!"
"Father, do you have any other instructions?"
Young Master Liu narrowed his eyes and licked his face as he looked at Li Zheng. If it weren't for the fact that Yan'er was the only ghost in the court, he would be willing to deal with the black-hearted emperor.
"Wu Guogong will go out to conquer Heshuo and Shuo on March 15th. Why don't you show your support?"
"Uh... I wish that the old Duke of Wu will return with a great victory, regain the lost land of the Han family, and restore our magnificent rivers and mountains. Duke Wu may be great, and long live my father!"
Li Zheng looked at Young Master Liu speechlessly. This bastard was even more experienced than Song Yu. He was as slick as a loach despite his age.
Sometimes as long as he doesn't point it out, he can talk nonsense all over the place and resolutely implement an unchanging policy.
Pretend to be confused while pretending to understand. If you don’t understand, I will pretend to know nothing.
"In addition to blessings, why don't you come with some fire support or something?"
Li Zheng learned the term "fire support" from the Western Expedition Records recorded by the army during the Western Expedition.
Whenever Young Master Liu allowed the infantry and cavalry to attack the city, he would order Jiang Lei to provide fire support to the remaining soldiers.
At first, Li Zheng didn't quite understand what fire support meant. The more he looked at it, the more he thought about it. Fire support means artillery support.
It would be appropriate to call it fire support.
However, after the artillery returned from the Western Expedition, Young Master Liu kept it alone. Li Zheng kept waiting for Young Master Liu to confess to him, but he missed the opportunity time and time again.
Li Zheng was extremely interested in the artillery that was recorded in the military records, which was like a thunderbolt that once fired, it would turn people upside down.
Being able to tolerate Young Master Liu hiding such a powerful weapon without mentioning Li Zheng can be said to be one of the rare wise men in the world!
There are such powerful weapons in the hands of the ministers, and there are a few people who are not afraid of the emperor. It can be said that Li Zheng's tolerance is amazing!
"Oh... I understand, my son, fire support!"
Li Zheng nodded happily: "Let's give Duke Wu a hand of thirty or fifty!"
Li Zheng directly exposed Young Master Liu's background. Young Master Liu only has fifty artillery pieces in total. Well...this total does not include those hidden in the East China Sea!
"Well... thirty or fifty doors is not a problem, but I have something I don't know whether to say or not!"
Li Zheng looked at Young Master Liu with expectant eyes and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"If you want money, I don't have a single copper. I'm poor. Look at my dragon robe. It's patched one after another. The prince is thirty... He hasn't changed his dragon robe in three years. You guys The minister is home with delicacies of fish and meat, and there is not a drop of oil in my royal meal. I can’t bear to add two more dishes and still can’t bear to drink some porridge! From the time the eighth prince and the ninth prince were born, even their clothes have been changed from the prince’s dragon robe to smaller ones. You You are considerate of my difficulties!"
Young Master Liu looked at Li Zheng with his mouth twitching, was it really as miserable as he said?
"Alas, today because the treasury is low and facing the Northern Expedition, Jiang Aiqing almost gave up her job and had to resign and return to her hometown. If I hadn't been so shameless and kept trying to persuade her to stay, my Jiang Aiqing might have been on the way. It’s difficult!”
"If you want money, I really don't have it. If you think there is something valuable in the palace, just take it out and sell it. I will never blame you!"
Liu Mingzhi stared blankly at the sad emperor, speechless.
Isn’t it just the next trip to the sea?
When did you become so shameless?
This is so shameless!
