The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

He invited the opera troupe in the palace to sing all night, and the songs were changed one after another. Li Heng basically didn't sleep all night. When he went to court the next day, he went out with two huge circles under his eyes.

The officials were surprised when they saw him walking out of the palace. They were even more surprised after seeing the dark circles on his face: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Li Heng waved his hand and said with a gloomy expression, "Nothing."

Ever since he took away half of Daning's power - no, ever since he borrowed the power of Northern Xia and became the regent, he has never been so unhappy! !

He now reasonably suspects that if this kid Li Ji doesn't come to court, goes out to fool around, or talks about being haunted, it's not because he has any other agenda at all, but because he simply wants to mess with him! !

He tossed and turned last night and simply put on his clothes and went out in the middle of the night. He was originally worried that Li Ji was going to drag him to the palace to do something on his own, but when he passed by the emperor's chamber, not only did he not find anything unusual, he even saw the kid Sleep well!

He can't sleep to death! !

At this time, Jicheng, who had slept well last night with his spiritual power directly blocking his hearing, appeared in Taining Hall refreshed and refreshed: "Good morning, everyone!"

The ministers who were not quite sure of the situation all saluted without understanding: "Good morning, Your Majesty?"

What's going on today?

Only Li Heng, who was in an extremely bad mood, snorted heavily from his nose.

Even so, when the ministers began to report on matters later, he still subconsciously started to deal with it.

"There is some unrest in Tongzhou these days?..."

"Bei Xia is planning to send an envoy to Daning Capital? This matter must be taken seriously..."

After the morning court ended and everyone dispersed in twos and threes, Li Heng suddenly realized a problem - he was clearly the one in power now, right? Why is he still being fucked by Li Ji during this time? Even when handling government affairs, he looks like an emperor's wage earner!

If Jicheng could hear his question, he would definitely answer him in a cool tone: Because I am even more shameless——

Although, now he has happily left the palace again.

Jicheng arrived at the teahouse yesterday. The craftsman had changed his clothes and was not carrying the goods in his pocket. He was standing not far from the door with a hesitant expression.

Jicheng walked over with a smile on his face: "It's still early before the agreed time. I didn't expect that sir is already here."

Wen Renen asked: "Can the young master tell me his identity now?"

Jicheng said slowly: "This is not the place to talk. Sir, please follow me in first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the back door of the teahouse. The waiter guarding the door wanted to stop him at first, but quickly gave way after seeing the token Jicheng showed.

Wen Ren'en followed Jicheng into a quiet room. When the door was closed, his eyes were full of surprise and suspicion: "This teahouse has been opened here for several years. There are rumors that there is financial support from the royal family behind it. The young master can come in... …”

Jicheng smiled: "The rumors are indeed true."

Wen Renen's eyes suddenly became alert: "So you are from the regent? That prince Li Yuzhi?"

The small stove for sencha was burning in the quiet room. Jicheng picked a piece of tea cake and roasted it carefully on the fire: "Sir, can't you guess in the opposite direction?"

Wen Renen was stunned for a moment, and finally noticed the hidden lines on Jicheng's sleeves: "You are——"

The tea cakes were almost baked, and Jicheng crushed them with a tea grinder. While doing the work at hand, he replied casually: "Li Heng, a descendant of an unknown generation from the Daning royal family. His father was only a small local nobleman, but now he has become a powerful man. The regent, the real emperor, must affectionately call him uncle."

"Why can you do this?"

Jicheng used a sieve to sift the tea powder carefully again, and then put the sifted fine powder into water to cook: "Because the late emperor was ignorant and trusted him, because the new emperor was young and his position was unstable, because he had a big hand." Hu Fu, who is stationed in half of Ning Twelve Prefectures, is because - he has the support of Northern Xia. "

"It can even be said that he has not taken over the throne yet, but he is just a little worried that the tiger talisman garrisoned in the capital and the palace is still in my hands."

At this point, he had completely admitted his identity.

Jicheng's eyes narrowed: "I'm pretty lucky. Although the regent is now in power, my father still has some people who are loyal to the royal family, so we can have the conversation I have with my husband today."

Wen Renen's eyes were shocked, but before he could speak, Jicheng continued: "I know that sir doesn't like fighting, and I am not telling you this to ask you to help me kill Li Heng."

The sound of tea making was gurgling, and Jicheng said with a smile: "After all, Li Heng and I can only be regarded as internal fighting, and it can be resolved with some court methods, and it cannot shake the foundation of Daning. "

"The real threat to Daning is Beixia in the north."

After the tea boiled, Jicheng added some salt to it for seasoning: "Northern Xia is a ferocious barbarian, and they are even more ambitious towards Daning. Fifty years ago, they captured ten cities in Daning in a row, forcing my grandfather to move the capital. It has frightened everyone in the Daning court. They have lost their courage. Although they have restrained themselves in the war in recent years, it is only because they have found a new springboard - after all, a country with beautiful water and abundant grass is much more valuable than a mess that was damaged by the war. "

"Li Heng relied on the support of Bei Xia behind him to seize power so forcefully. After all, it doesn't matter if he falls. What if he falls and angers Bei Xia?"

"——But what is the difference between this move and Daning being held captive by Beixia?"

"If we continue like this, we will just be like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered," Ji Cheng said as the tea boiled twice and three times, operating in an orderly manner, "It is a fact that Daning's military strength is weak, and it is impossible to defeat Beixia in a frontal battle, so I really need talents like you."

"Your mechanical attainments are unparalleled in the world. If you can apply what you have learned on a large scale on the battlefield, it will definitely have a surprising effect."

The tea soup was finally cooked, and Ji Cheng pushed the tea bowl to Wen Ren'en: "I wonder if you are willing to lend a hand to Daning?"

Wen Ren'en stared at the tea soup in the bowl, and smiled bitterly after a while: "You have requested in the name of the entire Daning..."

He bowed to Ji Cheng and said: "Although I have also imagined some , but if you really want to put the idea into the battlefield, you need time and space for experiments and improvements, and the cost is not small. "

Ji Cheng smiled and said: "Of course, the funds and venues are sufficient. I can probably delay it for a few months. I hope you can do it as soon as possible. In addition, these things cannot be known to the people of Beixia before they are released. You may have to move to other places to conduct these experiments secretly. "

Wen Renen nodded: "I understand."

Wen Renen is a man who does what he says. Ji Cheng said that there is not much time now, so he went back to his courtyard that day to pack up his things, took a few apprentices to get on the carriage prepared by Ji Cheng, and left the capital directly-Ji Cheng had already prepared a place for him in another state for Wen Renen to conduct experiments and research.

Actually, if you really want to say it, it is not impossible for Ji Cheng to tinker with some weapons of war with his knowledge, but his clumsy hands are well-known in the whole heaven: His Royal Highness can wield swords and knives with his hands, but if you ask him to do something like planting flowers... ahem, that is definitely a real killer level.

After seeing Wen Renen off, Ji Cheng had lunch at a restaurant outside the palace and went back to the palace directly. Perhaps because of the lesson he learned last night, Li Heng did not wait at the palace gate today - maybe he went back to catch up on his sleep.

Ji Cheng expressed great regret for this: "Ah, I slept well last night with my uncle."

Li Heng heard this through the spy in the palace: "..."

This kid did it on purpose! ! !

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and a banquet was held in the palace.

Ji Cheng didn't remember the name of the banquet this time, but the purpose of holding it every year was to let the younger generation meet each other, collectively known as a blind date banquet, so there were a lot of young people coming.

Li Heng didn't come today, not because he was married, but because Ji Cheng seized the opportunity the day before and forced him to "stay overnight" in the palace. After listening to the sound of gongs and drums all night, he was really a little nervous. He couldn't hold on and fell down as soon as he got up and was sent to the palace.

Although it remains to be considered whether this fall was due to illness or because he was too sleepy and fell asleep, in short, Li Yuzhi, as the prince, stayed in the palace to take care of the illness and didn't come either.

Ji Cheng was not interested in the blind date banquet, but it was a banquet after all, so he went, but he had been influenced by the electronic games in the modern world, and now watching these young men and women's sour performances, he felt boring no matter how he looked at them.

So after lunch, after watching for a while, he yawned and prepared to go back for a nap.

However, the way back to the bedroom was not smooth, because he was stopped by a noble lady halfway.

"Your Majesty, your servant has met you."

The lady who stopped him was dressed in luxurious clothes and looked very beautiful. When she raised her head, her almond eyes were full of anxiety. Ji Cheng's yawning hand paused.

It was not because the noble lady was too beautiful, but because she was quite familiar in the little emperor's memory.

He was still thinking about when to meet her, but he didn't expect that she would come to him on her own.

Ji Cheng acted quite gentle: "Miss Jiang, what's the matter?"

Jiang Yueshu twisted her fingers, and said in a guilty and low voice: "Your servant... I want to ask your Majesty to talk to my father to cancel our childhood engagement."

She lowered her head after she said this, and didn't dare to look at Ji Cheng's reaction.

Ji Cheng was still very gentle: "Why?"

Hearing the other party's gentle tone, Jiang Yueshu became more and more embarrassed: "Because, because... I have someone I like."

Ji Cheng asked: "Who is it?"

Jiang Yueshu hesitated: "This..."

Ji Cheng said patiently: "The person you like is Li Yuzhi, right?"

Since the object of her love has been guessed, Jiang Yueshu can't hide it anymore. She gritted her teeth and nodded to admit: "Yes, Brother Yuzhi and I are in love, I, I want to marry him!"

Ji Cheng nodded: "That's right, Yueshu, in fact, our engagement was just a casual remark made by my father back then. The prime minister has not spread it to the outside world in these years, so it is not difficult to cancel it."

Jiang Yueshu looked up in surprise: "So Brother Ji, did you agree? Can you tell my father?"

"But I have liked you for many years," Ji Cheng changed the subject on the spot, "so I don't agree."
