Chapter 786 Advice to Duan Lun

After Tang Xuanzang left Chang'an and arrived in Longyou, Li Shimin received the news immediately.

A monk who doesn't want to be a layman but goes all the way west, what exactly does he want to do?
Li Jun bowed enviously and said: "Your Majesty, do you need the last general to capture Tang Xuanzang?"

Li Shimin looked at the secret report sent by Jingyang and said: "No need, go and bring Duan Lun to me."

After more than an hour, Li Junxian brought Duan Lun to the Ganlu Hall again.

Duan Lun didn't know why His Majesty summoned him.

Looking up at His Majesty's expression, Duan Lun looked enviously at Li Jun who was standing aside.

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "I heard that you have gotten very close to some children from aristocratic families recently."

Duan Lun quickly bowed and said, "I haven't contacted them for a long time."

Li Shimin looked at the memorial in his hand, which also recorded the details of Duan Lun in the past two years, and said in a low voice: "Li Junxian, you should step down first."

"Here."

Li Junxian took another look and turned to leave the Ganlu Palace.

Duan Lun glanced at Li Shimin anxiously again.

Li Shimin still looked at the memorial in his hand, took a sip of tea and said, "Why do you keep estranged from the family again?"

Duan Lun quickly digested the meaning of Li Shimin's words in his mind, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the next time I go to get close to the family is for the sake of Chang'an Order, and I owe Chang'an Order a favor, so I can get closer to the family. He is also helping the Chang'an order, and he has just come out of the aristocratic family not long ago."

After speaking, Duan Lun waited for Li Shimin's reaction.

Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Li Shimin took another look at Duan Lun, put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Do you want to come to the court to do something?"

Duan Lun hesitated for a while, not knowing how to reply to Li Shimin's words.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Shimin said again: "Then Zhenzhen and Li Zheng want you to help with something, will you be willing to do it?"

Duan Lun took a step forward, "If both Your Majesty and Chang'an Ling want me to do something, I will."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "You don't have to agree so quickly, this matter is not so easy."

Duan Lun said in a low voice: "Then what do your Majesty and Chang'an Ling want you to do?"

Li Shimin stood up and walked to Duan Lun and said, "This matter may put you in danger."

Duan Lun whispered: "If this matter can be favored by His Majesty and Chang'an Ling, I am willing to do it."

Hearing Duan Lun's answer, Li Shimin smiled, "How much the relationship between Li Zheng and I is to you."

Duan Lun bowed and said, "At least we can have one more path in the future and give myself more opportunities, maybe we will use it in the future."

Li Shimin nodded, "When I first saw you, I thought you were a lazy and slippery person who would just goof around in the court and enjoy having fun. Now when I see you, it's very different from what I thought before."

Duan Lun still lowered his head.

Perhaps Duan Lun’s experience in the past few years has changed him so much, Li Shimin took two steps and sat down again and said: "The central government sends censors to inspect various places every year, and the candidate for this year's censor has not yet been decided, I hope you will go there Shandong boundary inspection."

Seeing some changes in Duan Lun's expression, Li Shimin said again: "I know you are also worried. After all, you just came out of the relationship with the aristocratic family, and now you have to go back. Don't worry, I will give you the right to mobilize soldiers and horses in Shandong. If you I think you are not capable enough, I can change someone, it doesn't have to be you."

Duan Lun hurriedly bowed again, "I am willing to do it."

Li Shimin said again in a low voice: "I will give you three days to prepare."

Duan Lun nodded, "I will take my leave first."

In Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin sat alone, continuing to review the memorial.

In Jingyang, Li Zheng also received news from Wang Ding.

"Chang'an Order, Your Majesty has asked Duan Lun to prepare to inspect the borders of Shandong, and he will depart soon. Also, Tang Xuanzang went to the border of Longyou."

Li Zheng watched Di Renjie and Li Zhi study the model airplane.

Wang Ding said again: "Those royal relatives, temples and dignitaries confiscated a lot of money."

Li Zheng sipped his tea and said, "You must have collected a lot of money."

Wang Ding nodded and said, "It's quite a lot."

Seeing Li Zheng glanced at himself again, Wang Ding said, "It's not that His Majesty doesn't want to distribute the money to Chang'an Order, it's just that the money should be used for the people."

Li Zheng thought about it and said, "Use it for the people? Can it also be used for Jingyang?"

Wang Ding took another look at Li Zheng, "Jingyang of the Chang'an order..."

Before Wang Ding finished speaking, Li Zheng said melancholy: "Jingyang needs to help the poor again, Wang Gonggong, look at how hard and simple the life of our Jingyang people is."

Li Lizhi walked up with some fruits and said, "I've never seen someone like you. Jingyang is already so rich, yet you still say you're poor."

Li Zheng sighed and said: "Look at you, don't expose your wealth, even if you have money, we will say that you have no money."

Li Lizhi glanced at Li Zheng with disdain, and said to Wang Ding, "Please tell Father, the money is used for other impoverished counties, and Jingyang can be completely self-sufficient."

Hearing what Li Lizhi said, Wang Ding nodded with satisfaction. Although Li Zheng is a desperate for money, Princess Changle is still very sensible.

Li Zheng said to Wang Ding again: "Eunuch Wang, even if you don't want the credit for this time, give me the hard work."

Wang Dingxin said, you and His Majesty are already in partnership, and you still have to say credit for it, and you feel troubled again.

Li Lizhi said: "Why don't you ask Father to write an inscription for our Jingyang magazine, and we will only be allowed to publish magazines in Jingyang from now on. Furthermore, he said that Zou Guogong is still the head of our Jingyang book printing house. He can arrange matters and monitor us."

Wang Ding nodded, "The inscription can be told to His Majesty."

The inscription is a golden signboard, and if only the Jingyang family is allowed to make magazines in the future, there will be supervision from the court.

In this way, the benefits are great.

It can completely make up for the money received by the DPRK and China this time.

Li Zheng glanced at Li Lizhi again.

This woman was smiling smugly, but unfortunately Wang Ding couldn't see her smile.

Xu Hui poured Wang Ding a cup of tea.

Wang Ding said with a smile: "I won't drink the tea, the old man will report to His Majesty."

Seeing that Wang Ding was about to leave, Li Lizhi said, "Wang Gonggong, go slowly."

Wang Ding nodded and left.

Sitting in his yard, watching Wang Ding walk out of the house, Li Zheng looked at Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi said in a low voice: "The influence of the magazine has also been seen by the court, and the father has also seen it. I think the father will not want to see another family with such capabilities. I think the father will definitely agree."
