My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Yuan Qianyao was stunned at this moment, and then he heard Li Longji continue to speak: "The last time I saw such a plan was when I was dealing with the evil money."

"Dare to plan ahead, dare to use all means... Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, it seems that only the Marquis who has not yet reached the age of 18 dares to do so."

"What do you think, Prime Minister Yuan?"

Li Longji was very shrewd. He could not think of anyone other than Chang An who would dare to use anything. After all, when he was able to arrest Liu Lu, the evil official who was the mastermind of the evil money, he had to step into his conspiracy, otherwise he would not be able to catch him so quickly.

"This..." Yuan Qianyao was a little hesitant at this time, because he had already agreed with Chang An not to tell anyone else.

Li Longji spoke again and said, "Tell me, was this method told to you by Marquis Dingkang?"

Yuan Qianyao sighed and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister cannot speak."

"Why not? Could it really be Marquis Dingkang?" Li Longji cursed in his heart, "I knew it," but seeing Yuan Qianyao's expression, he still said, "Just tell him directly, he won't know."

After hearing this, Yuan Qianyao thought for a while before replying, "Your Majesty, it is Marquis Dingkang."

"What about the beginning?" Li Longji's thoughts were confirmed. "Could it be that Marquis Dingkang also said that?"

"That's not the case. I just happened to hear about Marquis Dingkang's reputation that day, so I went to find him. But after I said it, Marquis Dingkang suggested this." Yuan Qianyao said in a different way.

"Then why is this law proposed in your name, Prime Minister Yuan, and not in his name?" Li Longji was confused immediately - could it be that I am the kind of person who does not distinguish between rewards and punishments?

"This..." Yuan Qianyao was also stunned for a moment, and replied: "This old minister doesn't know, but Ding Kanghou has been begging this old minister not to mention his name, so this old minister has no choice but to do so."

Li Longji's body stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He knew that Chang An was afraid that he would reward him with another princess. Moreover, when Li Ying came back a few days ago, she brought him another piece of news -

The wife of Marquis Dingkang is pregnant.

It was Li Ke'er who spoke up for him personally and he let him go this time. He could forget about the marriage arrangement at all.

Thinking of this, Li Longji sighed, and Yuan Qianyao asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, you..."

"I'm fine. I know why he doesn't want to take credit for it." Li Longji sighed and said with a wry smile, "He's on guard against me."

Yuan Qianyao was confused by Li Longji's riddle, so he asked carefully: "Your Majesty, please forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what your Majesty means?"

Li Longji smiled and said, "Prime Minister Yuan has just returned to the capital. He only knows that Marquis Dingkang has made contributions to the governance of bad money and the prevention of smallpox, but he does not know about another thing that shocked the whole Chang'an."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"This Marquis Dingkang actually dared to disobey my order and the marriage I granted him." Li Longji said, "He dared not take credit for his plan this time, not because he is humble, but because he does not want to become a royal consort."

Yuan Qianyao was stunned. He didn't expect that his friend Chang would actually do something like resisting marriage. But then he thought of the rumors about Chang An, and he felt that it made sense.

"Forget it, forget it. Don't talk about this anymore. I won't reward him this time. Just consider it as a punishment for his last disobedience to my order and marriage." Li Longji waved his hand and said.

"Since he doesn't want to show his face, then Prime Minister Yuan, don't mention this matter when you interact with him in the future. This Dingkang Marquis is very shrewd. If Prime Minister Yuan accidentally lets it slip, he probably won't even participate in the imperial examination."

Yuan Qianyao naturally understood, so he bent down and said, "I obey your order."

"You go back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave now." Yuan Qianyao bowed and turned to leave.

Watching Yuan Qianyao leave, Li Longji also watched him leave, thinking about something. Finally, he walked to the back and waved to Eunuch Cheng who was not far away.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Cheng walked over and greeted respectfully.

Li Longji asked, "Are there many memorials today?"

"Not much, Your Majesty."

"Then prepare the horses in advance. After lunch, I will go on a secret visit in clothes." Li Longji ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

......

When Chang An returned home, Gu Li was waiting for him at the door as usual.

"Mother Gu, I'm back."

"Chang Lang, welcome home."

The two of them couldn't wait to hold hands and exchange a "door-to-door kiss". Gu Li then said, "Ayi left today and went back to Yangzhou."

"Gone?" Chang An raised his eyebrows. Where was the fair competition we agreed on? Why did he run away?

Gu Li nodded, and while pulling Chang An in, he told him what happened this morning. After listening, Chang An suddenly realized that Fang Yi had never meant to compete with him, and everything was just to see if he was sincere to Gu Li.

At this time, he laughed and said, "You still want to test me like this? The test the Party and the people have given me is much more difficult than yours."

Gu Li was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Chang Lang, what are you talking about? What party and what people?"

Chang An came back to his senses, reached out and touched Gu Li's face, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just some nonsense."

Gu Li raised his hand and placed it on Chang An's forehead, as if to check the temperature, then took his hand back and placed it on his own forehead, saying in confusion: "Why is Chang Lang so stupid today? He even started talking nonsense."

Chang An was stunned for a moment, then he picked up Gu Li and said, "How dare you, Madam Gu, tease me, the Marquis."

"So what!" Gu Li put his hands on his hips with full of "arrogance" and said very "arrogantly".

"I'm going to punish Mother Gu!" Chang An quickly ran back to the yard, put Gu Li on the stone table in the pavilion, and then quickly ran to the study with his book box on his back, saying as he ran:

"Mrs. Gu, wait a moment. I'll come back later to tell you what the punishment is."

Soon, Chang An ran out of the study again, and then carried Gu Li back to the room. Gu Li then asked, "What punishment do you want to give Chang Lang?"

"As a punishment, Gu Niang can only be kissed by me today, and she cannot kiss me on her own initiative." Chang An announced the punishment measures at this time.

Gu Li exclaimed, "Ah!" and then said in a very "fearful" voice, "Why? I just teased Chang Lang, but you gave me such a heavy punishment. Can you change to a lighter punishment, Chang Lang?"

Chang An came right up to Gu Li's face and asked, "What do you want to change to, Madam Gu? Tell me about it, and I'll think about it."

"Then..." Gu Li pretended to think for a moment and said, "The punishment is that I cannot be kissed by Chang Lang, and I can only kiss Chang Lang."

Chang An was stunned for a moment, then he and Gu Li laughed together, and then sat down next to her, with his hands behind his back on the table. Gu Li seized this opportunity, consciously climbed into Chang An's arms, and said in a cocky voice:

"Chang Lang, I'm coming in."

"You are so self-conscious. This is a reward for Mother Gu!" Chang An put his arms around Gu Li and smacked her little mouth.

......

After lunch, Chang An and Gu Li sat in the house, drinking rock sugar and snow pear to cool off. It must be said that the climate was really warm during the Tang Dynasty.

"Master, Sanniang, the emperor is here." Huaiqin and Zhen'er walked into the room at this time.

Chang An and Gu Li also put down their bowls at this time, quickly separated, stood up, and then saw Li Longji and Eunuch Cheng walk into the room.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Chang An and Gu Li both bowed and greeted Li Longji.

"No need for formalities." Li Longji said at this time.

The couple stood up and found that Eunuch Cheng was holding a brocade box. After a moment of confusion, Chang An quickly turned aside to make room for Li Longji and said:

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Li Longji nodded, then sat down at the low table, and waved to Chang An and the other man, "Marquis Dingkang, you sit down too."

As soon as he sat down, Chang An asked, "Your Majesty, why are you going on a secret visit today?"

"I have nothing to do today, so I thought I'd go out for a walk and find someone to help me solve my problems." Li Longji said, and suddenly he saw the clear yellow liquid on the table again, and there seemed to be some sweetness coming from it.

"Marquis Dingkang, what new food do you have?"

Chang An also looked at the table at this time. The half-finished rock sugar and snow pear soup was still on the table, so he explained: "This is rock sugar and snow pear soup, which can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, and remove heat and relieve summer heat."

"Oh?" Li Longji became interested at this time.

Chang An naturally saw through Li Longji's thoughts, and ordered Huaiqin and Zhen'er who had not yet left: "Go and get some fresh rock sugar and snow pear soup for His Majesty and Eunuch Cheng to taste."

"Yes, son."

"Marquis Dingkang is thoughtful." Li Longji smiled.

Soon, Huaiqin and Zhener came back with two bowls of rock sugar and snow pears, and placed them in front of Li Longji. Eunuch Cheng took it first and drank a sip, and then Li Longji followed suit and took a sip.

After drinking it, Li Longji immediately felt refreshed and said, "Not bad, I really feel refreshed after drinking it."

Then Chang An said, "Your Majesty is here today to find someone to help you solve your problems. Is there anything you need my help with?"

Li Longji came back to his senses at this time and said, "If you hadn't said it, Marquis Dingkang, I would have forgotten it."

"Some time ago, the Die tribe scattered around Shoujiang City and the Pugu Dudu Shaomo secretly colluded with the Turks and attempted to capture Shoujiang City. Yesterday, General Wang secretly reported this to me. I wonder what Marquis Dingkang thinks?"

"If that's the case, it's treason, so of course you should be killed." Chang An smiled and replied.
