Cultivation of chastity

After delivering the presents and eating, and returning to the Wei Palace, Yan Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, how about you take some concubines or concubines?" Yan Wan thought about it, and finally summoned up her courage and said to Li Tai.

Obviously, Yan Wan was somewhat disappointed that she had only given birth to a small county head in these years.

"I have so many things to do, how can I have the time!" Li Tai couldn't help but sigh.

Li Tai admires those ancestors who traveled through time not only with indestructible bodies, but also with unruly kidneys.

After I had intercourse with Yan Wan, I didn't mean that I couldn't have sex a few more times, but I just felt that it would affect my work status the next day.

Li Tai expressed his envy to those senior time travelers who can go into heat 24 hours a day without any need for training to recover.

I have worked hard since I was a child, and even with a body that rarely gets sick, I can't do this.

Of course, it is not so much that Li Tai is restraining, it is better to compare it with the simple feeling of short-term joy of intercourse, because his own policies have made Luoyang's economy from depression to prosperity, the population from sparse to dense, and the products from single to abundant, making Luoyang even more so. Li Tai has a sense of accomplishment.

As for women, Yan Wan allocated by the state is enough for her daily needs.

Helan Chushi did not object to dragging his father-in-law into the water, after all, he was only married to Hou Junji's concubine daughter.

Yan Wan didn't understand the peacock's psychology, but Li Tai didn't say much, he just liked the peacock's stubborn temper.

"I have one thing to ask you. If you succeed, your title will not be inferior to Chen Guogong in the future!"

However, the current Li Chengqian is not these people, but Helan Chushi.

Therefore, after Li Tai came back, Li Chengqian picked up the brain that had been thrown on the ground, patted the ashes on it, and put it in his own brain, it was still somewhat usable.

Thinking of this, Yan Wan hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously:

Since I have entered the prince's mansion, I have no choice. If I enter, I will be appointed as a marquis and prime minister, and if I retreat, I will be in an abyss.

Li Tai has Wang Xuance in the frontier army, and Xue Rengui in the Yuancong forbidden army, which requires Hou Junji, Chen Guogong, to make up for it himself.

She no longer wants to be traded out again like she was used as a bargaining chip by her grandfather Zheng Fengchi.

Wu Mei held a stack of thick account books in front of Peacock, but she couldn't hide her excitement.

"I remember these annual accounts were given to you the day before yesterday. You must have stayed up for several nights!" Seeing Wu Mei still not tired, Peacock couldn't help but sigh, "How about you Rest first?"

After all, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng are almost the iron triangle of the entire imperial court's internal affairs. The political power each of them possesses may not be able to help the prince to rise to the throne, but as long as they want to hold the prince back, then Definitely more than enough.

Wu Mei worked by Bai He's side for a few months, and then she was put on Peacock's side.

But I, no matter how hard I try, I can't get the talent of a monarch, so when I face Li Tai, I don't have an absolute advantage in status. If Li Shimin abolishes himself one day and chooses to make Li Tai the prince, Li Chengqian also thinks it is reasonable.

"Peacock is different from other people, because of her own experience, she only believes in the authority she has."

Although the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is the lowest among the six Shangshu, it is still the third grade!
Thinking of this, the flame in Li Chengqian's heart that had been gradually extinguished subconsciously rose again.

After putting on his clothes, Li Chengqian's expression was still somewhat sullen. After all, he already knew that Li Tai was going to take over as Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and his prince didn't take over the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. Why should he be the king of Wei.

Li Tai knew very well that it was impossible for Baihe himself to let him go out and marry someone.

"My subordinate, Helan Chushi, has seen the prince!" Helan Chushi half knelt down in front of Li Chengqian.

Yes, even Li Chengqian himself felt that this matter was reasonable.

"Okay, okay!" Facing the astonishingly energetic Wu Mei, Peacock also smiled and wrote an instruction to Wu Mei.

Not to mention, Li Shimin also wanted to award Li Tai the Minister of Industry.

He is the eldest son, which is determined by God, but also, Li Tai has the talent of a monarch, which is also proved by God.

He naturally knew what Hou Junji's participation in it represented, but even so, Helan Chushi still said to Li Chengqian solemnly: "I obey!"

But Peacock is just following his footsteps step by step, and he has grown along the way, and Peacock has become his own white glove, operating the industry he has created.

"Not tired, not tired!" Wu Mei said excitedly, "Miss Peacock, what else is there to do?"

Li Tai shook his head and said, "She won't just be my concubine, but rather find someone who can make her a regular wife."

"Ms. Peacock, here is the annual account that you want to check this year. I checked it all yesterday!"

But if she is allowed to lose the authority to control wealth, it is better to kill her.

He has Zhang Xuansu, Hegan Chengji, Zhang Sizheng, Du He, Li Yuanchang, You Wenzhi, Liu Lan...

So if he took her in, it would be impossible for her to go outside to show his face. After all, no matter how generous Li Tai was, he couldn't resist the fearsome words of people in this era.

His power in the court was not weak against Li Tai, and even the Ministry of Rites regarded Li Tai as a thorn in his side who didn't respect Confucianism, but the military power in his hands was too weak.

So I gave Wu Mei to Peacock. Of course, this was more or less because of the pressure brought by Hongnong Yang.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian found a maid to vent his anger, and got up again, his body was a little shaky.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, Hou Junji was able to run thousands of miles to destroy Gaochang. Compared with Li Shiji, who just beat Xue Yantuo at the door of his house, it must be more difficult for Hou Junji to compare the two.

But the current Li Chengqian is no longer the original Li Chengqian.

Peacock looks at Wu Mei now, more or less like looking at himself in the past, but compared to the original self, Wu Mei is more excited and enthusiastic, and more importantly, this guy is surprisingly full of energy .

Therefore, Peacock himself will not accept it, because Li Tai knows that if he accepts her, he will kill her.

"Sure enough, Chen Guogong is not living comfortably!" Li Chengqian said when he heard Helan Chushi's words,

"Don't you accept Sister Peacock?" Yan Wan was a little taken aback when she heard Li Tai's words.

After all, in the final analysis, Wu Mei is not the child of a passer-by, so she will accept it if she says so.

What position does he want to achieve in the future, Shang Shuling?

The dowry that Peacock brought over, he didn't accept all the dowry like Jia's ate Lin's extinct family.

After all, Li Chengqian is the prince, so there are many people who depend on him.

"Yuezhang has been drinking away his worries these days." Helan Chushi said worriedly.

When Helan Chushi heard Li Chengqian's order, he couldn't help being stunned.

So it's fine if Li Tai didn't return to Chang'an, but after returning to Chang'an, Li Chengqian's sense of crisis suddenly broke out.

But compared to other people, Helan Chushi asked himself, he didn't seem like Du He had a good father.

"The palace concubine is at least the fifth rank, but she can get a salary from the imperial court!" Yan Wan couldn't believe it.

That's why Li Tai trusts the two of them so much, and Peacock has almost mastered Li Tai's wealth account books, and Li Tai trusts Peacock so much that he doesn't want to accept Peacock.

Helan Chushi naturally understood that when Li Chengqian made such a promise, he naturally hoped that he could help him in the process of seizing the heir.

In the past few years, King Wei has built a lot of warehouses, and he needs to take stock every year! "

After all, such a person is the only one who can rest assured to let her work, otherwise, if her mind is full of love and love, I would have kicked the peacock away and let her make a vase with her own dowry.

Hearing that his leg was broken a few days ago, he immediately resigned. Although the crown prince was annoyed that Du Ruhui was ignorant of current affairs, he didn't pursue anything further.

Even for Wu Mei herself, Li Tai felt that it was impossible for him to really treat Wu Mei as a secretary.

Following Bai He was mainly to get familiar with the working mode of the Wei Palace, and when he was familiar with it, Li Tai didn't keep Wu Mei by his side.

Still the same sentence, Li Tai doesn't have that kind of mental cleanliness, it seems that if you do things for others, you are betraying yourself.

To be honest, although Hou Junji is currently at a low ebb, no one denies it. Except for Li Shimin and Li Jing who can hold Hou Junji down steadily, even if Li Shiji, who has defeated Xue Yantuo, cannot be said to be able to suppress Hou Junji. .

"Yes!" Li Tai rubbed Yan Wan's head and said, "But some people just don't care about it!"

Her mother was born in the Hongnong Yang family. Even though the Hongnong Yang family was doomed to go downhill in the entire Tang Dynasty, if Wu Mei followed her without knowing it, it would be a blow to the face of all the daughters of the aristocratic family. .

Of course, compared to Li Tai who can leisurely discuss with Yan Wan whether to take a concubine or not, at this moment Li Chengqian has already forgotten which woman he got up from.

"Okay, give me instructions, and I'll go right away!" Wu Mei said to Peacock full of energy.

After all, if he tolerated her as a spy, he would naturally bear the risk.

Otherwise, if the crown prince is defeated by the king of Wei, the best treatment for him may never be used in this life if the nest is overthrown!
So compared to those officials who had a choice, when they heard the news that Li Tai was going to become Minister of the Ministry of Industry, that was the one who should evacuate, the one who should evade, and he was the only one who could only bite the bullet and follow the prince. go down.

But I know that Peacock follows me because she hopes to control her own destiny through her own efforts.

The reason is very simple, she is the bridge of communication between him and Li Shimin, and as a personal maid who took care of his diet and daily life since he was a child, he is not used to being away from her.

After all, even if Wu Mei is pretty, I don't need her to warm the bed, and marrying her won't bring huge benefits in connections.

"Your interest is really high!" Peacock smiled and said, "If you have nothing else to do, you can go to the warehouse in the east of the city to take inventory.

"Please tell the prince!" Helan Chushi said excitedly when he heard Li Chengqian's words.

Although Li Chengqian saw Li Tai getting more and more unhappy, Li Chengqian had to admit that he was already on the same starting point as Li Tai.

Li Chengqian looked at Helan Chushi and said in a low voice, "How is Chen Guogong?"

"What about Sister Baihe and Sister Peacock, they are already very old, won't your husband accept them?"

Because in Yan Wan's view, no matter if it is Baihe or Peacock, they should be Li Tai's wife, or they will become Li Tai's wife sooner or later.

In contrast, the peacock was actually because he had no hands at the time and needed the weaving industry, so Zheng Fengchi came over and only wanted to make a deal under the name of the king of Yue. up.

"Baihe, I grew up with me since I was a child, so I should accept it if I have a chance!" Li Tai thought about it, "It's Peacock, take this opportunity to explain it to her!"

Because who is most like a peacock in this world, I am afraid it is the very likely future empress.

"I want you, let Chen Guogong come to the East Palace to meet me for a while!" Li Chengqian looked at Helan Chushi and said solemnly.

After all, this time I am facing my younger brother who has the talent of a monarch, how can I not be careful!

Li Tai never cared about Baihe's petty thoughts, not to mention that she didn't do anything harmful to him, even if she did, she has been with him for so long, don't tell me he doesn't have any feelings for her ?
This is unrealistic, at most it is really done, and I am responsible for it.

But I don't have a powerful father like Du He, since I entered the Prince's mansion, I naturally have to serve the Prince wholeheartedly.

And what is his greatest help, is not only his father-in-law Hou Junji.

Therefore, after being familiar with the whole process by Bai He's side, Li Tai handed Wu Mei over to Peacock to train him.

At the beginning, when my father-in-law was in glory, he didn't put himself in the eyes. At most, he was just being considerate of etiquette.

Li Chengqian knew very well that facing Li Tai who had to live in Chang'an for a long time, it was impossible to assassinate Li Tai successfully. After all, Li Tai couldn't kill Li Tai when he had five hundred guards, let alone 1000 now.

Not to mention now, how much Peacock's dowry has increased, but Peacock himself has become his capable subordinate.

Besides, now it is more or less a chance for Yue Zhang who is in a trough, and at least there is a chance to turn around if he follows the prince.

Helan Chushi was naturally not as clear as the other counselors. In his opinion, it would not be wrong to try to strengthen the crown prince as much as possible.

Even if Hou Junji had never joined the princeling party, he would be suppressed by the sage and the entire imperial court, and he would have no future at all, so he might as well join the princeling party and give it a try.

Li Chengqian looked at Helan Chushi's straightforward agreement and showed a somewhat satisfied smile. At this moment, he couldn't help looking in the direction of Wei Wangfu, and said in a deep voice,

"Qingque, you are very talented, but I want you to know that there are many capable people in Chang'an, so what if anyone is missing!
In terms of influence, in terms of contacts, and in terms of familiarity with Chang'an's rules, are you familiar with me?
snort!I play you to death! "
