The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Seeing that there are still seven days until the emperor's birthday banquet, it is not easy for the emperor himself to be the birthday star.

During this period of time, there were many more things to worry about than before, and he really couldn't relax.

After the morning court, the emperor took Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi to the imperial study room, sat down behind the imperial case and looked at Xiao Yanzhi all the time.

Xiao Yanzhi was horrified by the emperor, turned his head to look at Pei Ze, but when his eyes met, he got a reply from Pei Ze who didn't understand the situation. Blowing on the tea leaves floating on the tea soup.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't hold back his laughter: "Speaking of which, the tea burns your mouth?"

Only then did Xiao Yanzhi raise his eyes to look at the emperor, and said with a smile: "I don't want to burn my mouth, I just want to see if I can blow the tea leaves to the bottom."

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, he glared at Xiao Yanzhi and said, "Are you a three-year-old child? Would you be ashamed to still play this trick?"

Xiao Yanzhi shrugged his shoulders and replied nonchalantly: "If my son is really a three-year-old child, I'll take out this tea and eat it."

Inan has done this.

The emperor rolled Xiao Yan's eyes, and then asked the real question: "Why haven't you been in the palace lately?"

He tried to find Yanzhi for dinner for several days but couldn't find anyone, why did Yanzhi become dishonest after entering the palace for less than two months?There are many people outside the palace, so he can't protect his words.

Hearing this, Pei Ze's heart skipped a beat, and then he looked at Xiao Yanzhi worriedly.

The brothers and sisters of the Xiao family are all in Prince Wucheng's mansion, how could Xiao Yanzhi stay in the palace?In the first few days, he just came to Wucheng Palace to spend the night. Recently, Xiao Yanzhi simply confessed that Lian Sheng had something to do, so he went to Wucheng Palace to look for him, and then he nested in Wucheng Palace, and even dared to bring in the official affairs of Honglu Temple. In the Wucheng Palace, Xiao Yanzhi almost looked like the master of the Wucheng Palace.

Xiao Yanzhi didn't panic, he just looked at the emperor with dissatisfaction and said, "Isn't it all because the father finds something for his son? There are still seven days until the father's birthday banquet, and most of the missions from all over the country have already arrived. Staying in the barbarian's mansion every day and having nothing to do would only cause trouble for my son. This son would go to the barbarian's mansion eight times a day, and they would not let him be idle in the middle of the night. You have entered the barbarian mansion, how can you have time to stay in the palace?"

He had thought of this excuse a long time ago.

"Then I didn't see you living in the barbarian mansion." As he said that, the emperor glanced at Pei Ze.

During this period, the mansion of the barbarians was guarded by heavy soldiers. It would be reassuring to say that he lived there, but he lived in Prince Wucheng's mansion. He knew that Pei Ze and the second child belonged together, so why did he still live there? What about entering Prince Wucheng's mansion?

Pei Ze also picked up the tea bowl and played with blowing tea leaves.

Xiao Yanzhi said indifferently: "I don't want to live in the mansion of the barbarians, I live in Wucheng Prince's Mansion."

"You are really thick-skinned!" The emperor looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a cold face, "Pei Ze also has his own things to do. Didn't you cause him trouble by living in?"

Pei Ze hurriedly put down the tea bowl, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is serious. It is my honor to help His Highness share his worries."

Xiao Yanzhi chuckled, with an expression of "you don't mind him, does it?" the emperor stared angrily.

Xu Liqian rolled his eyes and suggested: "Father, why don't you let the emperor live with the son? The son is no more than the righteous brother and the second brother. He is an idler."

It just so happened that his palace had just been built. Although he hadn't moved in yet, it would be nice if he could take this opportunity to move there.

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi and the emperor looked at each other calmly.

Is Xu Liqian inviting Xiao Yanzhi to live here, or is he trying to find a job for himself?

The emperor thought about it carefully and thought it was wrong.Leaving aside Pei Ze, now that Xiao Yanzhi and Xu Lishan have actual positions and powers in the court, it's not a problem to keep Xu Liqian idle like this, we still have to find a position for Xu Liqian.

Xiao Yanzhi pondered for a moment, then laughed and said, "How dare I bother my younger brother? It's rare to be treated as a younger brother by others. I always feel uncomfortable if I don't ask for some benefits from my elder brother."

The emperor scolded with a smile: "Are you still feeling bad? I think you just need to deal with it! Pei Ze, you don't have to be polite with him. Since he wants an older brother, let him know what an older brother should be like. If he breaks Woe, you just clean him up!"

"I... obey the order." Pei Ze cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Yan, and smiled inexplicably.

Not noticing Pei Ze's expression, Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, with dissatisfaction on his face, but he was really relieved in his heart.

Fortunately, he has always acted like this in front of the emperor, otherwise, I really don't know if we can get away with today's matter.

Not wanting to talk to Xiao Yanzhi anymore, the emperor looked at Xu Lishan who had been silent all this time, and asked, "Shan'er, have you gone to the household department, are you still used to it?"

Hearing the emperor's voice, Xu Lishan shivered as if he had suddenly woken up, then looked at the emperor in a daze, and after reacting for a while, he answered: "Responding to the emperor's words, my son... my son is fine. "

Feeling that Xu Lishan's reaction was a bit strange, Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and looked over.

Looking at Xu Lishan's tired expression, and hearing his guilty tone, how can it seem that he is okay?Are household affairs so tiring?

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at the emperor again, and sure enough, he saw that the emperor's face became gloomy.

"What's the matter? Did you run into any trouble?" The emperor asked as calmly as possible, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Yanzhi lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and had never been in contact with court affairs, but he arranged for Yanzhi to go to Honglu Temple. Yanzhi not only handled the reception of foreign envoys properly, but also investigated the corrupt officials of the household department. Sitting in front of him still has the energy to gag with him. Although some of his plans were disrupted, his ability is beyond doubt.

However, the second child grew up beside him since he was a child. Even if he did not give the second child real positions and powers, the second child had also sat in the court for three years. Now he only stayed in the household department for half a month. I can't get my spirits up...

In other words, you want him to believe and rest assured, but how can you rest assured?He doesn't even know where they put their minds on, how can he rest assured?

"This..." Xu Lishan looked at this with some trepidation, then looked at that, and then said after a long while, "I haven't encountered any trouble, but... just some of the accounts are not correct."

Although he entered the Ministry of Household Affairs, this period is neither the period of collecting taxes nor the period of distributing food and salaries. After he entered, he couldn't think of what to do, but he couldn't really be idle and do something to show his father. So after discussing with the cousin of Jiang's family, he thought of checking the accounts first, as if it was a re-count of the treasury property.Since he took care of the accounts, he couldn't even know how much money his family had, could he?

But this check is troublesome. Many places in the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts have been tampered with, and it is even more inaccurate to compare the archives of other government offices.He has been so overwhelmed by this matter for the past few days that he can't sleep well at night.

"What?!" The emperor couldn't suppress his anger when he heard this, "How can the accounts of the Ministry of Households not match? What do I want you to do?"

Xu Lishan was so frightened that he hurriedly left his seat and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"My son... my son... please give me a little more time, my father, my son will definitely... definitely match up!"

Even though he knew that the atmosphere at this time was not suitable for laughing, Xiao Yanzhi couldn't help laughing when he heard Xu Lishan's words.

The accounts don't match up, obviously there is something wrong with the books, he doesn't want to check the accounts, so why do he have to match the accounts?

After laughing out loud, Xiao Yanzhi also felt embarrassed, so he coughed dryly twice, and then said to the emperor: "Father, don't blame the second emperor, it's a big deal that the accounts of the household department are not up to par, but it's not the second emperor's fault." My brother’s fault, the second emperor helped you find out, didn’t he? It will take a lot of time to sort out the accounts of the whole country for the past three years, father, please allow the second emperor to do it slowly.”

"Let him do it slowly?" The emperor glared at Xiao Yanzhi instead, and said, "The Ministry of Households is in charge of the wealth of the world. My treasury, the granary of the Tang Dynasty, and the taxes of the world are all managed by the Ministry of Households. How can I tolerate it?" He does it slowly?!"

Xiao Yanzhi curled his lips innocently, and said unhurriedly: "Father, you are right, but don't we already understand the past of the Ministry of Household Affairs? Now that the second brother is going, isn't it because he wants a Is it a new start? As long as the new accounts are no longer wrong, why can't the past accounts be settled slowly? You can't let the second emperor take on two things at once, right? Anyway, we need to find someone to settle the accounts Quite a few, and I’m not afraid to add the Ministry of Households.”

Besides, isn't the emperor aware of this matter?He clearly knew that the Qin family was in the household department, so there must be something wrong with the accounts. Now he just made it clear through Xu Lishan's mouth. Why is he so angry?

As Xiao Yanzhi's gentle voice fell to the ground, the emperor's anger gradually calmed down.

He knew that there must be a problem with the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, but in front of the second child, he had to pretend not to know. He had to let the second child know that there was no problem with the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, and he had to let the second child know that he did not allow the Ministry of Accounts to problem appear.

Having settled down, the emperor asked Xu Lishan in a deep voice, "Then, did the Ministry of Households receive the money that your emperor brother recovered before?"

"Received!" Xu Lishan was no longer sleepy, and replied energetically, "That morning, the court father was furious, and after noon, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials sent the money to the Ministry of Households. They are all dismissed and investigated!"

"They paid it back?" The emperor was suspicious, so he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yan, seeing that Xiao Yanzhi was also bowing his head in thought, he asked again, "What kind of money did they pay back?"

Xu Lishan replied: "I heard from the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment that the money found in the accounts was paid by Zhang He, the former Minister of the Ministry of Households, who sold two properties under his name."

Xiao Yanzhi asked with a smirk, "All the money was paid by Zhang He?"

Xu Lishan blinked, and replied uncertainly: "That's what the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said."

Xiao Yanzhi laughed and said: "There are Zhang He and Cui Cheng in the household department, Qin Fengming in the Honglu Temple, and a servant in the Ministry of Rites, but Zhang He is the only one to pay the money? Why Zhang He? And only sold The two properties under his name are equivalent to the money they embezzled for two years, how big are these two properties? Is there such a thing under Zhang He's name?"

Pei Ze thought for a while, then interjected, "I heard that there are many things left by Zhang Hezu."

The emperor sneered and said, "Sold the ancestral property to pay off Qin Tai's debt? If it's you, what are you doing?"

Pei Ze and the others looked at each other.

"Probably Qin Tai raised the money, but Zhang He took the blame. My son-in-law said that whoever swallowed the money would spit it out." Xiao Yanzhi sneered.

The emperor said angrily: "Does he really think I'm an ignorant three-year-old child? Put all the blame on Zhang He, don't I know that he has a part in this matter?!"

Xiao Yanzhi shrugged.

Pei Ze interjected again: "The wife of the Qin family is on her way to Chang'an."

Xiao Yan was startled, looked at the emperor and then smiled: "I see, wipe off all the dirt on your face, so you can play nice with your grandmother, right?"

The emperor snorted coldly, and said: "Then I will wait for Mrs. Tai to come, and see if Mrs. Qin's family, who has been seeking a good reputation all her life, can turn black into white!"

Finally finished chatting with the emperor about the business, and after listening to Xiao Yanzhi say a few words to the emperor, they knelt down and left the imperial study.

Once out of the gate of Liangyi Hall, Pei Ze naturally followed Xiao Yanzhi to the direction of Honglu Temple. Xu Lishan was anxious when he saw this, and quickly reached out and grabbed Pei Ze's arm.

"What's wrong?" Pei Ze turned around and looked at Xu Lishan suspiciously.

Xiao Yanzhi also stopped after hearing the voice, and turned to look at Xu Lishan and Pei Ze.

"That..." Xu Lishan glanced at Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled, turned around and left.

Xu Liqian looked at Pei Ze and Xu Lishan with a smile, and then quickly followed Xiao Yanzhi: "Brother Huang, where are you going later?"

"Pingkangfang." Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and glanced at Xu Liqian, "What's the matter? Brother three want to go together?"

"Go, go!" Hearing the words Pingkangfang, Xu Liqian nodded his head.

When Xu Liqian caught up with Xiao Yanzhi, the two walked away side by side talking and laughing, but Pei Ze, who watched the two leave, turned pale.

Pingkangfang?What did Xiao Yanzhi go to Pingkangfang for?If someone from the mission wants to go, won't Zheng Lang take them there?Why did Xiao Yanzhi join in the fun?

"What's the matter with you?" Pei Ze withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Lishan, but his face hadn't softened yet.

Xu Lishan was startled, let go of Pei Ze's arm, and said, "There are some things I can't decide on in the household department, and I want to ask Brother Pei for his opinion."

Pei Ze frowned, looked at Xu Lishan puzzledly and said, "You should ask Xiao Yanzhi about the household affairs."

"But..." Xu Lishan hesitated, "Although he handed over the household department to me, I still can't trust him. Does Big Brother Pei trust him?"

"He has no intention of arguing with you."

Ever since the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family lived in Prince Wucheng's mansion, Pei Ze had completely understood that Xiao Yanzhi's life almost revolved around the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family. Only in order to realize the ideals of the younger siblings, to satisfy the wishes of the younger siblings, how to protect the younger siblings, everything Xiao Yanzhi did was just for these.Other than that, Xiao Yanzhi would think about it, but he would not take it to heart. Even if it was his matter, it would be ranked behind the Xiao family brothers and sisters, which made him somewhat unwilling, but helpless.

Xiao Yanzhi will show the happiest and happiest appearance only when he stays with his younger siblings, and he likes to look at Xiao Yanzhi like that.

After hearing what Pei Ze said, Xu Lishan also turned cold, and asked: "Why is Brother Pei so sure that he won't fight with me? Even if he doesn't want to now, doesn't he want to in the future? Father believes in him and spoils him, he wants to Father will give you whatever you want, I don't understand why you can still be so sure in this situation."

Pei Ze's face also turned cold, and he asked, "Then have you tried to understand him as an older brother?"

Xu Lishan couldn't help laughing: "Oh! You have already got to know him as a younger brother?"

"Xu Lishan!"

"Can you help me with the household affairs? If you don't help me, I'll find someone else!"

"Are you going to find the Jiang family?" Pei Ze gritted his teeth and asked.

"So what?" Xu Lishan cocked his neck and got into a fight with Pei Ze.

Pei Ze looked at Xu Lishan bitterly, just when Xu Lishan thought that Pei Ze was going to compromise, Pei Ze suddenly grabbed Xu Lishan's arm and dragged him away.

Xu Lishan was startled, and resisted angrily: "Where are you taking me? Pei Ze, let go! I won't go to Xiao Yanzhi!"

Pei Ze turned his head and glared at Xu Lishan, and said, "If you want to make trouble with His Majesty, keep shouting."

Sure enough, Xu Lishan shut his mouth when he heard this.

Dragging Xu Lishan all the way out of the palace gate, Pei Ze pressed Xu Lishan on the horse's back like a sack and went straight to Pingkangfang to find Xiao Yanzhi.

If it was anything else, he would never care about it, but it was related to the government affairs of the court, and the household department was extremely important. Xiao Yanzhi had spent all his time to return this household department to their hands, and it hadn't even been warmed up in their hands. , How can it easily fall into the hands of others?

On the other side, it was not yet noon when Xiao Yanzhi and Xu Liqian left Liangyi Hall. Xu Liqian thought that Xiao Yanzhi would take him to Manyi's residence first. Who knew that Xiao Yanzhi took him directly to Pingkangfang, and Xu Liqian didn't know until he arrived at the place that Xiao Yanzhi had hired the biggest and best music workshop in Pingkangfang. It is important to welcome guests at noon, and they have no complaints.

"Brother Emperor," Xu Liqian asked, whispering in Xiao Yanzhi's ear, "How many people are there in the mission? Is it worth taking over the entire band?"

"Why not?" Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile, "This year, each of the four tribes in the Western Regions sent a team to celebrate Father's birthday. In addition, there is a Huihe Mission, a Silla Mission, and a Dashi Mission. When people get together, it’s noisy, but after drinking some wine, it will become even more noisy. If the Lefang receives other guests, and there is a conflict, which side do you think we should go? It’s better to spend more money and keep them in the Let’s make a fuss together, even if they hit someone, they will deal with it themselves, let’s just watch from the sidelines.”

Xu Liqian thought about it carefully, then nodded and said, "Brother Huang makes sense."

"My lord!" Upon hearing that Xiao Yanzhi had arrived, Zheng Lang hurriedly came out from the upstairs wing, as if seeing a savior, "My lord, you are here!"

In that wing room, he only served tea and water while laughing, and he couldn't understand a word just listening to the yelling of the foreign envoys.

Seeing Zheng Lang like this, Xiao Yanzhi was overjoyed: "How is it? Are they still in peace?"

"What's the matter with peace!" Zheng Lang complained to Xiao Yanzhi with a bitter face, "It's true that no one can understand what anyone is saying, but they still want to say it, and I don't know that they all said something wrong. What."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Didn't I assign translators to them?"

"My lord, please don't mention those translators. They were all useful in the barbarian mansion, but when you come here, you can't understand them all. I really have nothing to do! My lord, go up and have a look." !” Zheng Lang was about to cry.

Xiao Yanzhi was still not in a hurry, and asked, "Is the person I want here?"

Zheng Lang shook his head: "I haven't seen it yet."

"That's not a hurry," Xiao Yanzhi said as he sat down in the lobby of the music workshop. "If Brother Sanhuang wants to go up, he should go up first and see that there are other interpreters inside."

Xu Liqian shook his head and sat beside Xiao Yanzhi: "I heard Zheng Lang's words are quite scary, I'd better wait for Brother Huang to go up together."

When Zheng Lang saw that the two of them had sat down, he simply stood beside him and remained still.

Anyway, before the king of Shu went up, he would never step into that wing again!

The three of them sat in the lobby of the music workshop and waited for a while, when they saw two teenagers running over one after the other, Zheng Lang thought that they broke in by mistake without knowing it, and just as he was about to chase them away, he saw He Yan unhurriedly appeared behind the two teenagers, Zheng Lang stopped in his footsteps, took a look at Xiao Yan and then returned to his original position.

Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng have lived in Prince Wucheng's Mansion for a while, but they have nothing to do every day. They want to find something to do in Prince Wucheng's Mansion, but Li An always looks anxious, which makes the two brothers People feel embarrassed even to do some work, want to do something for Xiao Yanzhi, but don't know what to do, finally He Yan went to Wucheng Palace to find them today, saying that Xiao Yanzhi asked them for help , they ran quickly.

Stepping into the gate of the music workshop, when they saw someone else sitting beside Xiao Yanzhi, they immediately put away their bright smiles, walked up to Xiao Yanzhi in a regular manner, bowed their hands together and said, "I have seen the King of Shu."

Xiao Yanzhi was amused by the gift from the two brothers, glanced at Xu Liqian who was sitting beside him, and said nothing.

"Since the two of you are here, let's go up." Xiao Yanzhi stood up, shook his clothes, turned and walked upstairs.

Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng looked at each other, and then Qi Qi bowed to Xu Liqian, but because they didn't know Xu Liqian, they didn't speak.

Xu Liqian looked curiously at these two people he had never met before, then waved his hands and went after Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng looked at each other again, and hurriedly followed.

Before reaching the door of the wing room, Xiao Yanzhi could already hear the noise coming from the wing room, and when he opened the door of the wing room, Xiao Yanzhi only felt the sound burst out in an instant, deafening.

"Hey! They're all foreigners." Xiao Xiangsheng looked behind Xiao Yanzhi, and felt that the scene of several foreigners who were not from the same race gathered together and said something they didn't understand to each other was very interesting.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Xiao Xiangsheng and smiled, "Today is up to you."

Xiao Xiangsheng twitched his chin, and smiled triumphantly: "Brother... Don't worry, King Shu!"

Xiao Yanzhi smiled again, and then he lifted his foot to enter the door, and opened his mouth with a series of foreign languages, which made Xu Liqian admire him.

Brother Dahuang can speak foreign languages?Moreover, seeing how Brother Dahuang was chatting and laughing with a few foreigners, it didn't look like he had memorized his foreign language by rote.It's no wonder that the father wants to hand over the matter of receiving foreign envoys to the eldest brother, he and the second brother can't even recite it smoothly.

However, Xiao Yanzhi was only responsible for greeting when entering the door. After a round of greetings, Xiao Yanzhi found a place to sit in the wing room. Xiao Ren'an sat behind Xiao Yanzhi as a matter of course. The wine to drink and food to eat must be passed by Xiao Ren'an.And Xiao Xiangsheng took a jug of wine and joined a group of foreigners, and played games with the foreigners with great interest, Zheng Lang was dumbfounded.

In the end, it didn't take long for Xiao Yanzhi to warm up the place where he was sitting, when Pei Ze dragged Xu Lishan and broke in through the door, which shocked everyone in the wing room, and those foreign envoys immediately turned to Xiao Yanzhi, Talking non-stop.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze, then at Xu Lishan, curled his lips, stood up helplessly and walked out, speaking a bunch of foreign languages ​​that no one could understand while walking. After speaking, Xiao Yanzhi The man also came to the door.

"Xiangsheng, I'll leave it to you." Before closing the door, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and instructed Xiao Xiangsheng.

Xiao Xiangsheng chuckled, and said confidently: "Don't worry!"

Only then did Xiao Yanzhi close the door of the wing room.

"What's the matter? What are you doing here looking for me with a murderous look?"

Hearing Xiao Yanzhi's words, Pei Ze restrained his momentum, pushed Xu Lishan in front of Xiao Yanzhi, and said, "He has something to ask for you."

"I'm fine!" Before Pei Ze finished speaking, Xu Lishan retorted angrily.

Xiao Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the madam of Lefang who came up after Pei Ze and Xu Lishan, and asked with a smile, "Is there a clean room for me?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The madam nodded hurriedly, and immediately led Xiao Yanzhi, "My lord, please!"

From afar, she saw King Wu Cheng approaching murderously, thinking that there would be a fight, but she was frightened to death!

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Pei Ze, smiled lightly and said, "Come and talk."

Pei Ze immediately twisted Xu Lishan to follow behind Xiao Yanzhi.

The madam led the three of Xiao Yanzhi to a remote room and left in a hurry.

What the princes want to talk about is not something she can listen to.

Asking Pei Ze and Xu Lishan to enter the door first, Xiao Yanzhi finally stepped into the room and closed the door behind his backhand.

"Let's go ahead, there's no one outside right now, and it's far away from the wing where the envoys are staying. If you want to quarrel or fight, it's up to you."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yanzhi sat down at the table.

Embarrassed, Xu Lishan turned into anger and said, "We didn't want to quarrel! We didn't want to fight either!"

"Really?" Xiao Yanzhi smiled indifferently, "Then what are you here for?"

"We have nothing to do! We're passing by!" With that said, Xu Lishan turned around and was about to open the door to leave.

Xiao Yanzhi said unhurriedly: "The affairs of the household department can be big or small, and it may not cause much loss, but if it is not done well, then I am afraid that I will not be reused by the emperor again in this life."

Xu Lishan was fixed at the door by these words, with his hands still on the door, but he no longer had the determination to leave angrily.

Pei Ze, who was holding his breath all the way, finally smiled, looked at Xiao Yanzhi and said, "Since you guessed it, help him find a way."

Who knew that Xiao Yanzhi asked back: "Why? He doesn't care about my help when he looks like this. Why should I go to the post to help? What does it matter to me whether the affairs of the household department are successful or not?"

Why?These words really stopped Pei Ze from asking.

"The household department was taken back by you anyway. If you don't handle it properly and it falls into the hands of others, wouldn't you have wasted your time?"

Xiao Yanzhi shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "I didn't spend much effort, it was just a matter of course. And since I can get back the first time, I can get back the second time. Some people are so cruel, they are not afraid of being hated by the emperor , then what am I afraid of? He has given me the opportunity to make meritorious service, so why am I so ungrateful?"

Xu Lishan stood at the door with his back to Xiao Yanzhi, his face was livid with anger, but he couldn't refute.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's temper, Pei Ze shook his head and laughed, and said, "You've given away all the favors, so you can't be a good person to the end?"

Xiao Yan raised his chin and said, "I'm not a good person."

"Then... send the Buddha to the West?"

"Where does he look like a Buddha?"

"Then what do you want?" Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi helplessly.

Xiao Yanzhi squinted at Pei Ze and said, "Since it was King Wu Cheng who begged me to help him, what kind of reward can King Wu Cheng give me? I have already given him the favor. If you want to help him again, this king will not do nothing for nothing."

"What do you want?" Pei Ze felt amused. At this moment, he couldn't tell whether Xiao Yanzhi was angry because of Xu Lishan's attitude and refused to help. .

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes, then hooked his hands at Pei Ze.

Pei Ze raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xu Lishan whose back was facing them, and still bent over to approach Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yan's thief whispered something into Pei Ze's ear, and Pei Ze frowned as soon as he finished speaking.

Taking another look at Xu Lishan's back, Pei Ze smiled and said, "Okay, I agree to your conditions."

It seems that Xiao Yanzhi acted in such a play because he wanted the reward.

I thought that Xiao Yanzhi would be more serious when he was thinking about serious things, but he was still not serious in the end.But Xiao Yanzhi was so unscrupulous, he was relieved, because it showed that Xiao Yanzhi neither cared about Xu Lishan's attitude nor held grudges.

"Brother Pei!" Upon hearing this, Xu Lishan turned around in shock, "Don't pay attention to him! I can do it even if I don't need his help!"

"Do you have a solution?" Xiao Yanzhi mocked Xu Lishan unceremoniously and said, "When it comes to half of the officials in the court, what can you do? Are you going to let the emperor ask you about the crime, or punish everyone? Then use the Jiang family as the top so that the Jiang family can become the second Qin family?"

"You!" Xu Lishan was trembling with anger, "You have already guessed what is going on...! For a person like you, what does Emperor Father value in you?!"

Xiao Yanzhi spread his hands: "Then who knows, I'm probably smarter than you. It's still too late for King Wu Cheng to repent."

"Stop making trouble," Pei Ze couldn't help reaching out and pinching Xiao Yanzhi's head, "Didn't I agree to you? Why are you angry with your brother? Or do you want no reward?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi frowned, stared at Pei Ze for a while, and then said dissatisfiedly: "For your sake."

After saying this, Xiao Yanzhi didn't care whether Xu Lishan was willing or not, and said bluntly: "Isn't it just from the account books of the Ministry of Households that there are corrupt officials in other government offices, but the involvement is too wide, and it is difficult to clean up the door. How easy is it to keep it and be afraid of fueling their arrogance? You go there in person as King Qi, have a good chat with these people, and tell them to spit out their money regardless of whether you threaten it or not. Just come out. Father is willing to tear himself apart with the Qin family because of this matter, and the others must be worried. If you keep this matter private with them at this time, they will be grateful to you. "

"It's that simple?" Xu Lishan looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously.

"Believe it or not, King Wu Cheng will pay me." Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze with a smug smile, causing Pei Ze to give him a helpless look.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's proud appearance, Xu Lishan really wanted to punch him, but unfortunately there was no valid reason.

"Thank you for your advice, Brother Huang, we won't bother you anymore, leave!" After gritting his teeth, Xu Lishan finally pushed open the door of this room.

Looking at Xu Lishan's angry back, Pei Ze calmly said, "Go back to the palace first."

Xu Lishan was startled, then turned around and looked at Pei Ze in disbelief: "Brother Pei, you...!"

Pei Ze walked to the door: "I still have something to discuss with him. Be careful on the road."

After finishing speaking, Pei Ze slowly closed the door.

When he turned to look at Xiao Yan again, Pei Ze saw Xiao Yanzhi covering his mouth to hold back a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Pei Ze walked back to Xiao Yanzhi's side, and finally sat down on the stool next to Xiao Yanzhi leisurely this time.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at the silhouette of Xu Lishan still reflected on the door, and said with a smile: "Sometimes I feel that you and Xu Lishan actually have enmity? Would you like to send him back to the palace first? Then you can owe him the reward first." with mine."

Xu Lishan's expression at the end is really wonderful!

Pei Ze shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, this king doesn't like credit. Come here."

Pei Ze hooked Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, glanced at the still silhouette on the door, and said, "Xu Lishan is still outside."

Pei Ze smiled and said, "You're already leaning over, why are you still talking about this?"

Before the words finished, Pei Ze leaned his head closer to Xiao Yanzhi without hesitation, and gave Xiao Yanzhi a kiss as promised.

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes were filled with smiles, and he stretched out his hand to hook Pei Ze's neck, and his tongue pried open Pei Ze's teeth, turning Pei Ze's superficial kiss into a lingering deep kiss.

I just know what Pei Ze can do superficially, how can I let him succeed?

After the kiss was over, Pei Ze glared at Xiao Yanzhi, gasped and said, "Why do you think I've lost?"

Isn't Xiao Yanzhi afraid of Xu Lishan suddenly rushing in?

Xiao Yanzhi licked his lips and said proudly: "This king is worth a thousand dollars, so it's a good deal for you. It won't be so cheap if you bring him to me next time!"

If Xu Lishan has something to do, as long as he comes to him, he will definitely help, but if Xu Lishan doesn't need his help, then he won't intervene.The relationship between him and Xu Lishan is delicate, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble.But what does it mean that Pei Ze brought someone here?He cared so much about Xu Lishan, why didn't he help him?The next time Pei Ze does this kind of thing again, he will definitely fall in love with him!

Only then did Pei Ze understand why Xiao Yanzhi deliberately made things difficult for Xu Lishan, and he felt very happy.

Pei Ze jokingly asked, "Do you not like me bringing him to you, or do you not like me caring about him?"

"I don't like it, is there a problem?"

Originally, he was still a little confused about Pei Ze's attitude, but recently he always stayed in Wucheng Prince's Mansion, and he found that Pei Ze's attitude towards him was a little more active than before, and the number of times he used words to tease him continued to increase.

This guy definitely knows he likes him and is having fun!Now that Pei Ze is enjoying it, what else does he have to worry about?

Pei Ze smiled and said, "No problem."

Seeing Pei Ze so happy, Xiao Yanzhi gave Pei Ze a hard look, got up and strode out of the room.

Xu Lishan was still standing at the door of the room, when he suddenly saw Xiao Yanzhi rushing out of the door, Xu Lishan was startled.

"Why are you still here?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Xu Lishan coldly.

"I..." Xu Lishan swallowed, "I'll wait for Brother Pei."

"Tsk!" Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and gave Pei Ze another look, and strode away.

Pei Ze, who was stared at one after another, smiled even more happily: "Where are you going?"

When he stepped out of the room, Pei Ze patted Xu Lishan on the shoulder and said, "Go back to the palace first."

Before Xu Lishan could respond, Pei Ze went after Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi ignored Pei Ze, walked quickly to the wing where the envoy was, opened the door and entered.

However, before Xiao Yanzhi's feet hit the ground, he bumped into a person, and before Xiao Yanzhi backed down, the person directly tightened his arms and embraced Xiao Yanzhi.

"Caught!"

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes at the sky when he heard this authentic phrase of food.
