"Don't worry, I know what's going on, sir, but I'd better be careful about the carriages we bring!"
After all, they brought a large amount of copper coins this time. There were nearly ten million copper coins in these hundreds of carriages. There must be no mistakes this time!
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will be careful!"
Li Haomin responded, then turned away.
Liu Xian's driver followed the governor of the Prince's Mansion and headed towards the East Palace.
"Turn around and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
On the way back to the East Palace, Liu Qi felt more and more uncomfortable as he thought about it. Anyway, this time he was tricked by the old man Shen Tujia. If he hadn't said this, he would really feel a little uncomfortable.
Now that the matter has been settled, let's let this old guy from the Shentu family do this offending thing!
"promise!"
The driver responded outside, then immediately turned around and headed towards Shen Tujia's mansion.
Although it was already dark today, when he heard that the Crown Prince was coming, Shen Tujia hurried out of the house to greet him.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, are you finished with your official duties?"
Liu Qi asked with a faint smile on his face.
"When I go back to Your Highness, I have just arrived home and haven't even had a cup of tea yet..."
Shen Tujia was embarrassed for a while, it seemed that Liu Qi was out for revenge.
"Father has already made a decision. Let this matter be left to the court for public discussion. Whatever should be done will be done!"
Seeing Shen Tujia clasping his fists in a bow, Liu Qi was secretly amused.
In any case, this old guy can be regarded as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he must still be given the face he deserves.
"I wonder if your Majesty has anything to say to the old minister?"
After hearing what Liu Qi said, Shen Tujia immediately lowered his voice and said to Liu Qi.
Having been immersed in the court for many years, he is a master of the twists and turns. As long as such matters are brought to the court for public discussion, it means that the emperor already has a bottom line.
It's just that it's hard to say it yourself, so you need to use the mouth of the courtiers to achieve your goal.
"Father only said that the country of Dai cannot be in chaos, and Liu Deng cannot be in chaos! Prime Minister, do you understand?"
Liu Qi didn't embarrass him too much. After all, he still needed to handle this matter, and someone still needed to take the blame.
Isn’t this the same as not saying anything?
Shen Tujia was really on the verge of tears. It was really quick to repay June's debt.
The front foot kicked the ball out by itself, so why did the back foot kick it back again?
"Prime Minister, don't worry. By the way, I'll tell the inheritor thoroughly. My father has decided to patrol the country in 10 days!"
Seeing Shen Tujia's embarrassed look, Liu Qi finally felt relieved and spoke in an understatement.
Hearing what he said, Shen Tujia's eyes suddenly lit up. It was obvious that it seemed that the prince should handle this matter!
If it were him, he would be damned if the emperor was willing to wipe his ass.
Now it's completely different if it's the prince. Even the emperor has to personally go on tour to win the hearts of the prince.
"Old minister, I understand. Thank you very much, Your Highness! If Your Highness has nothing to do in the evening, how about having a light meal at my place?"
Now that this major matter has been resolved, Shen Tujia feels much better. Now that he has received the news, someone has begun to plot secretly. It seems that he does not need to bear the blame himself.
"So as I wish, if I dare not invite you, then I will disturb the Prime Minister!"
Liu Qi wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Shen Tujia about Zhou Yafu. After all, Zhou Yafu's crime this time was quite big, and Beidi County was completely beaten into a pot of porridge.
If he didn't give Shen Tujia a break at this time, I'm afraid Zhou Yafu wouldn't be able to escape so easily.
Different from the system of later generations, in the early Western Han Dynasty, the prime minister's powers were frighteningly large.
The promotion of all these officials depends on the Prime Minister's thoughts. If the Prime Minister does not agree, Zhou Yafu will have a really hard time!
At this time, I just took this opportunity to have a meal to have a good discussion with Shentujia, and Shentujia also wanted to take this opportunity to smooth over his plot against Liu Qi today.
So the two of them hit it off right away, but Liu Qi had no idea that Liu Xian had actually been summoned to the East Palace.
"Master Chao, His Highness has not returned yet. Should we send someone to remind him?"
Seeing that Liu Xian had been working in the concierge for more than an hour, but until now, Liu Qi still hadn't come back, and the junior officials in the Prince's Mansion began to worry one by one.
"Why are you in a hurry? Just let him wait and tell him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is discussing important matters with the Prime Minister. After the discussion is over, he will naturally come to see him!"
Chao Cuo could more or less guess the purpose of Liu Xian's visit to Chang'an City this time. Many things were obvious, but neither party wanted to show off and deliberately pretended not to know.
But this does not prevent Chao Cuo from giving him some clues. Even though he is the prince of the Wu Kingdom, he should be taught some rules when he comes to Chang'an City!
"promise!"
Although Chao Cuo is just a small retainer of the prince now, these people in the prince's mansion know clearly what position Chao Cuo holds in Liu Qi's heart!
This is the teacher who taught the prince since childhood!
It was not something they could offend, so no one dared to refute him afterwards. If Liu Xian was hated by Chao Cuo, it would really be more of a loss than a gain.
"Your Majesty, this is an urgent message from Guangling Trading Company. Please have your Majesty take a look at it!"
Just when Liu Xian was restless and walking around the concierge of the Prince's Mansion, Ye Yijian quietly came to Liu Deng's study.
"Oh? You guys move very fast!"
Hearing what Ye Yijian said, Liu Deng looked up at him with deep meaning.
There is nothing new about placing manpower in SF Express, but Liu Deng was a little surprised that he was able to set up the Guangling branch so quickly.
"The king has given you a reward!"
Ye Yijian just cupped his fists and didn't say much. These days, especially after what happened to Liu Yishui, and after a period of deep introspection, he was getting better and better, and finally stopped being irritable when doing things. impatient.
Seeing his unfazed look, Liu Deng nodded secretly. This guy finally looked decent.
But after opening the mailbox in front of him and reading the contents, Liu Deng's face suddenly darkened. This old guy Liu Bi is really a bit reckless!
"You go down first, I will call you if I need anything!"
"promise!"
After Ye Yijian left, Liu Deng fell into a long silence...
