As soon as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan arrived in the capital, before they could settle Xiaobei and the others down, the call of the capital came.
Xiaobei and the others had been to the palace before, so they were not afraid at all, let alone nervous. They immediately changed into their official robes. Ever since they had obtained power last time, they had not used it once. They had originally planned to use it on Xincai County's County Magistrate Yan, but County Magistrate Yan did not give them the chance.
When they wanted to use someone to do something bad, County Magistrate Yan fell ill. Whether it was a real illness or a fake one, he was on sick leave, so they could not ask him to do anything.
After that, County Magistrate Yan recovered and stabilized. He did not come to find He Yiwei again, nor did he talk about working together to do business. It was as if nothing had happened.
Xiaobei, who had not been able to teach him a lesson, was not satisfied. Thus, he told his brother and sister that when they moved to another place, they would bring County Magistrate Yan along and wait for him to make a mistake.
With this thought in mind, Xiaobei prepared to have a good talk with Li Longji to see if they could bring County Magistrate Yan along.
Just like that, the group of people arrived in front of the palace gates. How could the guards not recognize Xiaobao and the others? They didn't even announce their arrival. After seeing the token, they immediately let them pass.
They came a bit early today. Li Longji had not yet finished his court session. The officials were still standing outside in the cold wind, discussing matters with Li Longji.
Normally, officials below the fifth rank were not allowed to enter the morning court session at this time. However, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were special. The two of them came and went as they pleased. The guards could not stop them.
Thus, the two of them brought Xiaobei and the others, who were clamoring to see what the morning court session was like, to join in at the last moment. The group of children swaggered to the back of the group.
It turned out that the person at the back of the group was no longer at the back. This person sized up Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Ignoring the endless debate at the top, he said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Zhang Xiaobao, aren't you standing in the wrong place? This is where the military officers are. You should go there. "
As he spoke, he pointed to the opposite side where the civil officials were standing.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't know this person at all. He smiled and said, "I came with my wife. She is a deputy county magistrate and also a civil official."
"Yes, no. How can Wang Juan be a civil official? He's clearly a military general." It wasn't easy for this person to determine which side Wang Juan was on, but the smarter him still decided to leave Wang Juan on the side of the generals. After all, one more force was better than nothing.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. My wife, a deputy county magistrate, is a military general. How can I, a registrar, be a civil official? Am I right?"
"That's right, that's not right. That's not the same as an official position. Wang Juan is a devil. Oh, she's a fairy. The kind that's very good at fighting." This person was once again led astray by Zhang Xiaobao.
"Who cares what he is. As long as there's a place to stand, it's fine." Xiao Bei didn't want to run around randomly. Hearing that this person wanted to chase them away, he popped his head out and said this.
This person was immediately stunned. He didn't know that Xiao Bei and the others had also been given an official position. Moreover, it was the kind of position where as long as all the little fellows worked together, they could impeach someone. Thus, he looked at Xiao Bei and the others in confusion. Other than shock, there was only astonishment left.
Xiao Zhu leaned over with her hands on her hips. She was very dissatisfied with this person's gaze and said, "What are you looking at? If you look at me again, I'll impeach you. If we work together, we'll impeach the imperial censor. Do you understand?"
This person's mind seemed to have been struck by lightning. He had actually heard of this matter. At first, he thought that it was just someone casually talking about it. Now, it was not at all convenient.
"His Majesty really gave a bunch of little brats the position of officials and can impeach others without any evidence?" this person muttered to himself.
After Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan heard this, Weiwei smiled and didn't say anything.
Xiao Bei and the others proudly puffed out their chests and raised their heads.
"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the private bank, this official wants to say that the way of the economy is not a small matter. This official has done some research on this matter. Thus, this official thinks that this official is qualified to enter the China Banking Regulatory Commission."
Just as these people were talking, a civil official not far away suddenly stood out and recommended himself to Li Longji.
Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Bei and the others, who lived together and had a tacit understanding, stood out at the same time and said in a childish voice, "This official objects."
If only one person came out and said this, it wouldn't have any weight. A seventh-ranked official didn't have the qualifications to say this.
However, if a bunch of little fellows said it at the same time, then it was different. If they were separated, they were nothing. However, once they worked together, then they were the imperial censor. This position was enough for them to speak up.
Because they were too far away, and Li Longji couldn't bring binoculars with him when he went to court, he really didn't know that Xiao Bei and the others had come over. At this time, the court was very lax. Even if someone wanted to go to the washroom at this time, they could secretly leave and go to take care of it.
Under such lax policies, not only did Li Longji not notice that a bunch of little fellows had come over, even Gao Lishi only reacted when the little fellows were talking and saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Bei and the others have arrived. They should have just arrived," Gao Lishi said to Li Longji.
At this time, Li Longji also saw who was talking. A trace of a smile appeared on his stiff face, and he asked Xiao Bao and the others, "Why do you all object? Come closer and tell me."
The little fellows began to walk forward. The stairs were very long, and it took several steps to walk one. After walking for a while, they finally arrived in front of Li Longji.
Xiao Bei had always been in charge of external affairs, so this time, she was the one to speak. Xiao Bei straightened her body and bowed, "Your Majesty, this subject feels that the CBRC can't easily recruit people. Only those who are truly capable can be promoted. Otherwise, wouldn't they be harming the country and the people? This subject feels that in a situation where he doesn't have any thoughts about the economy, he must have some selfish motives for wanting to go to the CBRC."
"This subject thinks so too. This subject impeaches him for having improper intentions." Xiao Yuan also stepped forward to express her support.
The person who said that he wanted to enter the CBRC was dumbfounded. He was just trying to fight for some benefits in the future, but he didn't expect to be refuted by a bunch of little fellows the moment he said it. This was too infuriating. How did these little fellows get to the CBRC? They even called themselves subjects. What kind of joke was this?
"Your Majesty, how can the imperial court be a place for little fellows to cause trouble?" This person was furious as he said to Li Longji.
"Who's a little fellow? You've already said it clearly. Don't you know that there's a hierarchy in learning the Dao and that the more accomplished one is the teacher?" Xiao Yuan was unhappy. She was an official, so why was she being looked down upon?
"Which family are you from?" The person who spoke just now glared at her and asked.
"I'm from Sanshui County's Wang family. How about that? Don't glare at me. If you continue to glare, I'll investigate you. I don't believe that you're so innocent, untainted, and untainted. "
Xiao Yuan could be considered to have clashed with this person. After all, even if she said or did something wrong, she still had her brother and sister to back her up. She decided to scare the other party first.
Who knew that just as she finished speaking, the other party's face changed. It wasn't as rosy as before, but rather a little pale. Of course, it could also be because of the cold weather and the strong wind outside.
This person still didn't know what kind of effect the change in his face had on him. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Zhang Shuo, who was standing in front, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this subject feels that we should investigate Minister Yan of the Ministry of Revenue. This subject feels that he must have violated imperial grace."
When Zhang Shuo said this, he winked at Xiao Bei and the rest. It was unknown if he really liked Xiao Bei and the rest, or if he was just expressing goodwill to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. However, this wasn't important. What was important was that he also suggested to investigate this person with the surname Yan that Xiao Yuan had casually mentioned.
"Approved." Li Longji wasn't blind. He could also tell that something was wrong with this person, so he immediately approved.
"Your Majesty, this subject has sinned. Please show mercy." This person immediately knelt down with a thud. His movements made the people in front of him feel pain for him. This was a limestone slab, so his knees were probably bruised.
Xiao Yuan and the rest opened their mouths wide as they looked at this kneeling person in shock. Xiao Yuan never expected that what he casually said would actually come true. There was something wrong with this person.
The other officials really didn't know what to say. Those who knew the identities of Xiao Bei and the rest all felt pity for this person with the surname Yan. How could he be so unlucky? He even dared to stand out when a bunch of little rascals who knew about the Imperial Censorate came out. Impeachment didn't matter if he had done anything wrong. As long as there was an impeachment, there would definitely be an investigation. This was the authority of the Imperial Censorate.
Even if he had done something wrong, the Imperial Censorate wouldn't be able to do anything wrong. More importantly, why wasn't your body clean? You didn't have enough willpower. Once you were impeached, you would be exposed. This was over. Perhaps you could still avoid the Lord's impeachment, or perhaps you would be given a lighter sentence. After all, if it was just a little corruption or a little bribery, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But when the little rascals were impeached, as long as the two sides were compared, wouldn't you be hated? The little rascals were so cute.
Indeed, Li Longji didn't give any face this time. With a sullen face, he looked at this person with the surname Yan and ordered Zhang Shuo, "Investigate. Investigate thoroughly."
"Your subject obeys," Zhang Shuo replied.
Following that, this person was dragged away. Immediately, there would be people investigating him. This wouldn't be as simple as just questioning him to see if he was lying. They would rush to his house and investigate everything that could be investigated. If he didn't cooperate, he would definitely be punished severely.
Seeing this person being dragged away, Little Yuan sighed helplessly. She felt that the world was really mysterious. She had just casually said something, and it turned out to be right.
On the other hand, Little Bei appeared much calmer. If she had harmed someone else, she might feel apologetic, but this person was definitely doing it for himself. Who asked you to have a problem?
Taking two steps forward, Little Bei said to Li Longji, "Your Majesty, we feel that if we want to enter the CBRC now, we need to tell us what financial leverage is. If we don't even know this, we definitely can't enter the CBRC."
After Little Bei finished speaking, she turned her head and looked around to see if anyone was willing to stand up and say that they knew.
The officials finally understood the power of Little Bei's group. No one said a word. They didn't even have the courage to look at Little Bei and the others. Who knew what financial leverage was? They had never even heard of it before.
Little Bei waited for a while. Seeing that no one dared to look at her, she turned her head and said to Li Longji, "Your Majesty, no one knows. That's why I feel that the people in the CBRC need to be trained by my elder brother and elder brother."
Li Longji's face revealed a brilliant smile. Seeing that Little Bei and the others didn't say anything, he felt that this group of little fellows was really too fun. They were clearly children, but they had to pretend to be adults. Back then, when they first met, they impeached a county magistrate. This time, they took care of an official. They were even more impressive than the real censorate.
"Your Majesty, say something. Is it like what I said?" Seeing that Li Longji didn't say anything, Little Bei finally felt a little nervous. Why did Uncle Emperor change when he came to this place?
Hearing Little Bei's voice, Li Longji finally reacted and said, "Yes, we feel that it should be so. Little Bei, have you eaten yet?"
"I ate breakfast, but I haven't eaten lunch yet. Uncle Emperor, let's eat hot pot today, okay?" Little Bei rubbed her stomach and replied.
"Okay, we'll eat hot pot at noon." Li Longji agreed. Next to him, Gao Lishi waved his hand at Little Bei and the others, indicating that they should quickly return to their positions.
Little Bei and the others were also smart. They immediately ran back to their positions, their legs trembling.
All the civil and military officials were speechless. What the hell was this? They were actually asking if they had eaten in court?
Li Longji no longer thought about the people who had just been dragged away. He continued to talk about the matters that should be discussed in court. At this time, Little Bei and the others didn't have a chance to interrupt. They followed their elder brother and elder sister and waited for the court to end. From time to time, they would smile at the civil officials who looked over.
After Li Longji finished discussing the matters of the morning court with the officials, he didn't leave first. Instead, he waved his hand at Zhang Xiaobao. Little Bei immediately rushed over and happily arrived at Li Longji's side. She leaned against the dragon throne and said to Li Longji, "Uncle Emperor, it's too cold outside.
Even if you have a charcoal brazier here, it's useless. Why don't you use stainless steel to build a large hall? In the future, you can hold morning court there. Can there be a suicidal fat cow when you eat hot pot at noon? "
Li Longji didn't care about Little Bei at all. He leaned against the dragon throne and listened to Xiao Bao speak. Weiwei was stunned. Only now did she understand what suicidal fat cow meant. It was none other than beef hot pot. Little Bei wanted to eat beef bone marrow.
She nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, there was a cow that was very sullen. It was just like that Official Registrar Yan. It couldn't take it anymore and offended our Little Bei, so it committed suicide."
"That person surnamed Yan can also commit suicide? I don't think so. Generally, corrupt officials are all afraid of death. It's fine as long as there's a fat cow. I want the bone marrow from the spine. Uncle Emperor, let me tell you. On the way here, we met a cow that wasn't willing to eat. It was thin, so we bought it and killed it. There's even bezoar in it.
Uncle Emperor, you mustn't tell others. If others find out, they'll make us spend more money. Little Bei doesn't have much money to begin with. I still need to leave some for people who are poor to deal with emergencies. "
Little Bei blinked her big eyes and explained what happened on the way here. Then, she stretched out her hand and revealed her pinky, wanting to make a promise.
What else could Li Longji do? He also stretched out his pinky and made a promise with Little Bei. After listening to what Little Bei said about making a promise and not changing it for a hundred years, the ceremony could be considered complete.
Satisfied, Little Bei chuckled for a while, then said to Li Longji, "Uncle Emperor, that hall that little one mentioned just now is really feasible. Little Bei's family has a hall like that when they discuss matters in the winter. If you don't have money, Little Bei, oh, I mean this subject is willing to use my usual pocket money to make one for Your Majesty."
As she spoke, Little Bei squeezed into Li Longji's arms and sat on the dragon throne with him.
Li Longji was afraid that Little Bei would slide down and scratch something, so he hugged her and said, "Okay, we'll build one according to Little Bei's suggestion. Uncle Emperor has money, but how do we build one?"
"Ask big brother and big sister. Big brother and big sister know." Little Bei had just stood below and felt cold, so she came over to get warm. Li Longji naturally didn't feel cold here, making her feel very comfortable. Especially the clothes Li Longji was wearing. The fabric was good, and it was similar to a silk cloth doll.
Just like that, Li Longji carried Little Bei back to Xingqing Palace. He ordered people to find a cow that had committed suicide. After it was cleaned up, it would be cooked hot pot for lunch. The spine couldn't be missing.
After the morning court was dismissed, it didn't take long before it was noon. The cold wind blew, and a group of people began to prepare for lunch in the main hall.
The details of the preparation were naturally done by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Wang Juan was in charge of slicing the meat, and Zhang Xiaobao was in charge of mixing the base ingredients for the hot pot.
When it was time to eat, Li Longji asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, "Xiao Bao, Cuckoo, you can't continue to stay in Baoxin County. Have you thought about where you want to go?"
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan thought to themselves, 'Here we go.' They looked at each other, and Zhang Xiaobao answered.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the place we want to go must not be too rich. Cuckoo and I won't be of much use there. It's best to go to a province that is relatively poor and has a small population. In fact, Cuckoo and I want to go to Ci Province, but it's not too poor. I've discussed it with Cuckoo, and we can open a business there. It's fine if we don't go there.
I feel that the place we want to go must have a lot of water. For example, the Yangtze River is not as good as the nearby Yellow River. Of course, if you want me to go to Lingnan Circuit, it's fine, but I can't go to Lu Zhou. "
"Oh! There must be a lot of water. Then, where do you and Cuckoo want to go the most, Xiao Bao? You should at least give me a rough idea, right? "
Li Longji thought to himself, 'There's no way I'm sending you to Lingnan. Otherwise, where would I send you when I send people to? Because of Lu Zhou, many people who should have died on the way to Lingnan were able to board boats and arrive at Lingnan within the allotted time. This was especially true if they were near Lu Zhou's place. I wonder if they're going to enjoy life or suffer there.'
Although Zhang Xiaobao did not know what Li Longji was thinking, he could not reveal the location. Therefore, he changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that Henan Circuit is better. I have a secret recipe in my family that allows me to obtain good things from there. It can be used to farm and increase the yield of crops. If the water is used to feed livestock, it can make them grow stronger. Even if it's used to make tea, boil water, or bathe, it's not bad."
"Oh? What's so miraculous? " As expected, Li Longji no longer considered what Zhang Xiaobao said about Henan Circuit. He focused on what Zhang Xiaobao said after that.
If it were anyone else who said this, Li Longji would not have believed them. In fact, he might even punish them. However, it was different when it came from Zhang Xiaobao. There were too many miraculous things happening in the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. He was used to it. If the Wang Family said they had it, they had it. Even if they did not have it, they would think of a way to obtain it.
Zhang Xiaobao produced a handful of stones from his pocket. Some of them were specially polished into a round shape. These were used to soak in water, while others were broken into pieces. These could be used to soak in water. Most of the time, steam baths under the name of a certain country were called water treasures. Not all of them were electrolyte stones.
Li Longji looked at the stones Zhang Xiaobao produced. He did not understand them. He reached out and took them. He was not afraid that they were poisonous. He looked at them carefully and was even more puzzled.
"Xiao Bao, are these the miraculous things you mentioned? They don't look like anything. "
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if jade is not cut, it will not become a good thing. When the jade was first made, it did not look good. Why did it become different after being processed? Your Majesty, the Empress once wrote a letter to Cuckoo, saying that her skin was better. Cuckoo and I were very happy. After thinking about it, we concluded that it must be because the Empress often cultivated in the pool that Cuckoo had people use to make with these stones."
The Empress Zhang Xiaobao was talking about was the current Empress Wang. She was the only Empress in the Tang Empire. By mentioning Wang Juan, he would not appear disrespectful.
Li Longji was indeed fooled. He really thought that he could touch her smooth skin with just these stones. When he looked at the stone in his hand again, his expression changed. He asked Zhang Xiaobao, "You said that this stone was produced in Henan Circuit?"
"Yes. I think that there may be such stones in other places, but I have not found them yet. I only found them in Henan Circuit. Therefore, Cuckoo and I want to go to Henan Circuit, even if it is Dengzhou."
Zhang Xiaobao continued.
Li Longji was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly remembered that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had lied to him. Could it be that he could not find some trouble for them?
Therefore, Li Longji revealed a troubled expression and said to Zhang Xiaobao, "The officials in Dengzhou are doing well. I think that Xiao Bao, you already have a lot of stones like this at home. No wonder your family had such a high yield when you were in Sanshui County. Why don't you change to another place? After all, Dengzhou is not small. If I put you there, some people will not be willing."
Wang Juan was doing her best to cook meat for her younger brother and sister. She lowered her head and did not make a sound. She was afraid that she would laugh out loud if she looked up.
Gao Lishi was anxious for Zhang Xiaobao. He felt that Xiao Bao should not have said everything. Wouldn't this make His Majesty refuse?
Zhang Xiaobao also cooperated with him and revealed a helpless expression, "Your Majesty, is it really impossible for me and Cuckoo to go there? This stone was found in my home. I still plan to build a few more baths here. Those are all money. "
Li Longji was proud of himself. Just as he was about to say no, he suddenly remembered how Feng Zhou was given away. He held back his words and carefully looked at Zhang Xiaobao. He wanted to see if Zhang Xiaobao was lying.
Zhang Xiaobao looked back at him with an innocent expression. His eyes were like crystals, revealing sincerity.
Li Longji really wanted to laugh. At this time, he had already discovered the ability of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. They looked very sincere, but in fact, they were not.
'Lie, continue lying. Do you want to lie to me again? I've long known that all the places that you speak of are all lies, and all the places that you don't speak of might not be true. Other people's lies are all lies, and the truth is all lies. You're all lies within lies, lies within lies, lies within lies, lies within lies, lies within lies, lies within lies, lies within lies, lies within lies, lies within lies, lies within lies.
Yes, that's right. There are big tricks and medium tricks, and there are small tricks within the medium tricks. If I were to believe you, I would really be helping you count the money after being sold. '
Thinking this, Li Longji strengthened his conviction. He did not want to be led astray by Zhang Xiaobao. He prepared to test the waters and said, "Actually, it's not impossible. It's just that the officials there need to be reshuffled. I don't know where to go."
"It's true. As long as Your Majesty is willing to let this subject and Cuckoo go to Dengzhou, this subject and Cuckoo promise that we will definitely make that place more prosperous. As for the original people, they can be sent elsewhere. Presumably, that person is more familiar with the seaside. Why don't we send them to the east of Jiangnan? That place is not bad, it's also close to the sea."
Zhang Xiaobao revealed a happy expression, but Li Longji did not believe that it would be so simple. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Why do we need to go to the east of Jiangnan? Why don't we go to the Andong Protectorate? There are many provinces there. Didn't you want to go there?"
A map appeared in Li Longji's mind, and the Andong Protectorate was on it. That place was really big, and the provinces there were all small provinces next to each other.
"Come, Xiao Bei, I'll give you some bone marrow. Once you eat the bone marrow, you won't be afraid of the cold anymore. It's said that the place Uncle Emperor mentioned is very cold. In the future, when we go there, things will be easier."
At this time, Wang Juan made a bone marrow for Xiao Bei. As she spoke, she put the bone marrow into Xiao Bei's mouth. Then, she began to make bone marrow for others.
"Elder Sister, that place is really cold. Can we go there?" Xiao Yuan asked while waiting for the bone marrow.
"Of course you can. Elder Sister and your Big Brother Xiao Bao are very capable. Back then, we wanted to go to that place and wanted to find a place near the sea, such as Jili Prefecture. Unfortunately, Uncle Emperor did not agree and only gave us Feng Prefecture."
Wang Juan also stuffed a bone marrow into Xiao Yuan's mouth and told him about the cold place.
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao immediately followed Wang Juan's words and said to Li Longji, "Your Majesty, why don't you give that place to us? We don't want the Mai Fan Stone anymore. We really want this kind of stone."
Zhang Xiaobao's gaze was still so sincere that no one could see what he was thinking.
Li Longji was really in a difficult situation. One place after another, they were all places that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan wanted to go. But where exactly should they go?
At this time, a young eunuch slipped in from outside and gave Gao Lishi a look. Gao Lishi hurriedly left. Li Longji did not mention where Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went and continued to eat.
After a while, Gao Lishi came back and said to Li Longji, "Your Majesty, a pigeon came from Wing Prefecture. It said that Tubo has already sent an envoy here. They want to discuss the matter of exchanging slaves or other things for food. They are very fast and will probably arrive in the capital by the middle of the second month."
"Changing again? This is all thanks to Xiao Bao. Let them come. I want to see if they will still be as arrogant as before. "Li Longji put down his chopsticks and said.
Zhang Xiaobao naturally knew about Tubo. It seemed that they would not be able to survive for two years in a row. If it was said that they could still hold on when their food was burned the first time, they would not be able to hold on this time. If not for the fact that they knew that they could not defeat the Great Tang, they would have already sent troops to the border.
This was already a foregone conclusion, but it was not important. What was important was that they could make use of it.
"Your Majesty, this subject has decided not to go to the sea here. I will go to Jiannan Circuit and follow Cuckoo to Pengzhou. We will continue to deal with Tubo and make them unable to recover."
Zhang Xiaobao looked as though he was loyal to the country. Wang Juan also said, "Indeed, Your Majesty, we are willing to go over and deal with Tubo. It's not for the sake of earning money."
It would have been fine if she didn't say the last few words. As soon as she said those words, Li Longji immediately rejected the idea of sending two people over. If they were to manage the land there, others would surely object. No matter how much he trusted them, it was impossible for all of the officials to think that they wouldn't rebel. Once a person had the ability, there was nothing that they couldn't do.
"This matter isn't appropriate. You can't go there. It's better to find a place by the sea. The Yangtze River and Yellow River aren't suitable for you. I have decided to send you to Dengzhou. As long as you are of a higher rank, it's fine. As for the Andong Protectorate, the winter there is too cold, so it's fine if you don't go."
Li Longji said as he observed Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan lowered their heads at the same time. However, in that instant, Li Longji saw Weiwei's lips curl up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely manage Dengzhou well." Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan expressed their gratitude at the same time. Their voices were slightly different from usual, but Weiwei was trembling.
This made Li Longji's heart beat faster. Could it be that the two of them really wanted to go to Dengzhou? Could it be that they were just putting on an act for him? It was hard to say for sure.
He couldn't take back his words so casually. Thus, Li Longji shot a glance at Gao Lishi.
Gao Lishi didn't want to be caught in the middle, but he couldn't pretend that he didn't understand the emperor's intentions. Thus, he said, "Your Majesty, this matter is a little too rushed. It's better to discuss it with the officials first before making a decision."
"Oh? Is it too rushed? Aiya, I'm also thinking for Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. Could it be that there are still people who would object? "Li Longji pretended to be calm and said.
"Your Majesty, it's best to be cautious," Gao Lishi advised.
Li Longji was clearly very dissatisfied. In the end, he sighed helplessly and said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Xiao Bao, it seems that this matter won't be easy to pass. How about we discuss it again?"
A hint of anxiety appeared in Zhang Xiaobao's eyes, but he immediately concealed it. His lips curled up as he said to Li Longji, "Your Majesty, in truth, this subject and Cuckoo can go anywhere. If Your Majesty feels that it's troublesome, then you can just arrange for a place near the sea."
Li Longji felt that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan really wanted to go to Dengzhou, so he decided that he couldn't let the two of them go there.
In any case, they won't be bad no matter where they go. It's better to choose another place. Hmm, the Andong Protectorate that I mentioned just now isn't bad. Shouldn't we consider letting the two of them go there?
That place has always been difficult to manage, so it's a good opportunity to see how capable the two of them are. It's just that they should stay there for a period of time and come back when it's about time. It just so happens that that place is also near the sea.
