Rice is like buying beads, firewood is like bunches of osmanthus, and paste is like jade. This is what foreigners describe as the price of Chang'an City in high demand and unsuitable for living. Therefore, in the early stage of the annual annual ceremony, Chang'an City suddenly had more than 10,000 people, and the scenes in each yard were very different.

Because Chang'an City is said to be rich in the west and noble in the east, most of the northwest of the West City are places where Hu people live, while the east of Zhuque Street is the best cultural geography. However, the lifangs south of the Daming Palace in the northeast of the East City are places where the royal eunuchs live. From the sixth Heng Street south of Zhuque Street, the twelve lifangs are connected to the south, the farming and planting are connected by fields and sparsely populated. Therefore, the candidates chose the most were the lifangs in the middle of the East City.

However, on this day, in Anxingfang, which was close to Daming Palace, there were few scholars in Anxingfang. Before the morning drum sounded and the door of the fang was opened, there were already three or four white-clothed men in front of the aconitum gate in Song Jing's house in the northwest corner. Song Jing had never liked to go in and out, so when the morning drum finally sounded and the aconitum gate of the Song's house slowly opened, there were only a dozen riders inside that surrounded Song Jing, who was wearing purple robe, slowly coming out. Song Jing, who was over 50 years old, was still wearing a white pen in his crown and did not have a smile on his face. Compared to Yao Chong, people often said that he was not angry and was powerful. He did not argue about this, but he still smiled stingy. At this moment, he was still riding a horse and was still thinking about the unsustainable evil money ban that was now, and his brows were tightened unknowingly.

"Song Prime Minister!"

This sudden shouting made Song Jing suddenly come back to his senses. Seeing that several white-clothed men rushed out in front of the horse, he quickly stopped the followers who were about to come forward to scold him, and then asked in a deep voice: "What are you blocking the way?"

"Peng Ju, a tribute scholar from Dongdao Township, Shannan, visited the Prime Minister of Song."

The first person slapped, and the other three naturally signed up to pay tribute. However, when the plan was good, the four of them couldn't help but feel a burst of tears in their hearts when they saw Song Jing's face was already unhappy, Peng Ju, who was in charge, remembered that he heard Du Shiyi's words at Wang Qiniang's house in Pingkangfang yesterday and looked up. No one was willing to let others take the lead. After discussing, he ran to a guest house in Anxingfang for a night and waited for the rabbit and planned to discuss today's affairs. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, then raised his head and took a step forward with a stern head.

"We heard that the Prime Minister of Song was selfless and never showed favor, so we asked each other for help! There was a general named Ma Chong who killed people in the past day, and Chang'an City was in an uproar. However, this is the case of conclusive evidence. The prison was released from the Ministry of Justice, and Pei Yuanwai, who was in charge of punishment, was overwhelmed by others. Some of the nobles in the court hoped to reduce Ma Chong! The punishment is a public instrument; the prison is a law. Although we are white, we know that justice is the first priority and law is the first priority! If such a thing happens at the feet of the emperor, wouldn't it be that the generals of other states and counties in the world will follow suit?"

Since Peng Ju had a good start, seeing that Song Jing's face had cleared, the other three were also brave. A scholar in his early forties behind Peng Ju also bowed deeply: "Just a while ago, Wansheng heard that there were people from Yulin Guards outside Chang'an City who had robbed and killed Du Shijiulang who returned to Beijing for personal grudges. This time, Ma Chong killed people again, which shows how important this discipline is! Although we are slight, we have to sue the Prime Minister of Song."

When the other two came forward to express their feelings one by one, Song Jing stroked the moustache on his lips thoughtfully, and finally nodded lightly: "As a Jinshi in the village, you have such a worry about the country and the people, it's great. I understand this. You can wait and study your studies carefully in preparation for the provincial examination in the first month of the year."

These few words made the four people feel a sense of passion that rushing to their minds, and the ecstasy spirit was not mentioned. Fortunately, they all bowed their heads to thank the teachings, and Song Jing was on the horse. At this moment, the sky was dim and the lights could only illuminate the road. They couldn't see the expressions of the four people below, and didn't care much. When they walked by the four people and walked north to the Daming Palace, the iron-faced prime minister was really as heavy as water.

After the morning court, as usual, important officials entered the cabinet, that is, to discuss important government affairs in Zichen Hall. When the king and his ministers finished their political discussion, Li Longji asked about food and food as usual, but Song Jing bowed and said, "I have something to report to Your Majesty."

When Song Jing spoke, not only Su Feng, who had been with him for a long time, but even the others couldn't help but feel a little sad. Song Jing's temper was straightforward and said nothing, but those advices were not only hit on the emperor, but sometimes they would also make conflicts with them. The pain was light after eating for a few days, and the heavy ones would even fall into bad shape for a year and a half, three or five years. After looking at each other, seeing that Li Longji did not leave them to listen, everyone had to retreat one by one. Su Feng, who was walking at the end, wanted to give Song Jing a wink reminder, but he could only sigh in his heart.

Song Jing, now is not the time for you to return to Beijing to take over as the prime minister!

From being a traitor among servants, he became a son recognized by his father, and then became a Jinshi, and was a virtuous and upright person. Su Song was of great talent and literary talent, but he had a very clear account in his heart. He joined the court with Song Jing as prime minister, but after all, he was in the position of assisting. He respected Song Jing's drastic actions, but he became more and more worried over the past two years. A ban on evil money offended many powerful people who minted money in private. As for the actions of the emperor who spoke frankly in front of him like the moment, he didn't know how many people were too tickled!

Song Jing didn't know Su Feng's thoughts. When the ministers retreated, there were only one or two close servants in front of the emperor. He just bowed again and talked bluntly about the murder of General Ma Chong Baizhou by the Ten Thousand Cavalry. Li Longji had known his temperament, but even though he was prepared in his heart, when Song Jing's sharp words were spoken, his face still changed drastically.

"There are countless heroes of Tang Yuan in the Northern Gate Guard, and the quality is different. The two things were even less than a month apart. This shows that they were deeply trusted by His Majesty and were given high positions and generous salaries. They should try their best to repay and restrain their subordinates, but what now? The subordinates committed serious crimes, not only did they not think about their mistakes, but they wanted to cover up their crimes, and even overthrew the chief officials. If this continues, who can control them?"

The words were good words, but when Song Jing said it, it seemed extremely hard and harsh. Even Gao Lishi, who had always been disagreeing with the generals of the Northern Gate Commando, could not help but shake his head secretly. Li Longji's expression changed several times, and he was about to say a few perfunctory words, but when he saw Song Jing looking at him without giving in, he swallowed the words he said.

"This matter is indeed untolerable... Who is the prison now?"

"Report to Your Majesty, it is Pei Kuan, the Minister of Justice."

"Well, I know." After writing down this name, Li Longji nodded and said, "I will ask about this matter personally. If anyone wants to lend a loan, he will never tolerate it." He said, looking at Gao Lishi, and instructed with a smile, "Remember the Lishi, Song Qing's loyal words, and reward ten silks."

Although Song Jing refused, he finally thanked him for his gratitude. After he left, Li Longji frowned immediately, stood up and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back for a while, then he suddenly said to himself: "Song Jing's temper..."

Gao Lishi, who was the best at judging the situation, was startled when he heard these half words, and thought for a moment, but he didn't say anything else. After that, Li Longji went straight to the inner palace. This time, he did not go to the Hanliang Palace of Queen Wang, nor to the Zilan Palace of Concubine Wu Hui, but went directly to the Chengxiang Palace of Concubine Zhao Li. As soon as he reached the door, he saw everyone coming out with a handsome young man, not the Crown Prince Li Ying?

"Erlang sees your mother?"

Li Ying is now fourteen, with her eyes and eyes that are cool, and her eyes are pretty much like Concubine Zhao Li, but Yingwu is somewhat similar to her father. At this moment, after he bowed his head and replied respectfully, "Yes, Grandpa."

"Well, I heard that you have made great progress in your studies recently. Don't delay it. Go back to the East Palace to study. In the first month of next year, I will plan to perform the ritual ceremony for you. Then you will be an adult."

Since his father was speaking, although Li Ying wanted to stay and say a few words with his father and mother, it was obvious that Li Longji carefully ordered the eunuch whom he followed. He struggled for a while and finally took the order to leave. But when he turned around and saw that Li Longji had already reached the steps, he suddenly thought of it and quietly chased after Gao Lishi who was several steps behind the emperor.

Gao Lishi was startled at first, but he saw that it was Li Ying. He quickly winked at the others, and then followed Li Ying to the side quietly, but asked with a smile: "What are the instructions for your husband?"

"You are always by my grandfather's side, so you don't ask me to come and visit my grandmother often!" Thinking that the mother who was once beautiful and beautiful now has now withered, and thinking about the many favors in my father's harem, Li Ying couldn't help but feel a little resentful, "I just can't treat some minor illnesses, so why can't I post a list to recruit another famous doctor?"

These childish words made Gao Lishi's mouth sag slightly. However, he still responded with a smile and said that he would try his best. Until he watched Li Ying turn around and walk away gradually under the crowd of the eunuchs and palace servants, he remembered the grand occasion of Concubine Zhao Li's most favored, his son was crowned crown prince, and his father and brother were all appointed as high-ranking officials from the end, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

In Chengxiang Palace, Li Longji, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw a woman coming out. Seeing that Concubine Zhao was dressed up and greeted her, his eyebrows were the same as before, and he couldn't help but feel like a different life. However, knowing that Concubine Zhao was just supporting herself, and seeing that she was still trying to attract people to play music and dance, he shook his head, signaled him to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "In a flash, our son has become so old."

"

When she mentioned her son, Zhao Lifei, who had originally been forced to show off her spirits, suddenly showed a more moving look in her eyes. No one in the palace was more humble than her. Although her father and brother were given high-ranking officials, they were completely powerless and unable to help her. The only son Li Ying could count on. Fortunately, Li Ying was named the crown prince all the way, and was diligent and studious, which was the greatest comfort in her heart!

"What Sanlang said is that when my son grows up, I will have no regrets even if I leave one day."

"Why do you have to say these despicable words? I see that you are charming and charming, as it is," Li Longji naturally held Concubine Zhao in his arms and said with a kind look, "Don't be stuck in Chengxiang Palace all day long, you might as well go out for a walk and sit there. Ah Wang, didn't you go there often before?"

"I am now a sick person. His Highness is in charge of the harem and is willing to discuss poetry and papers with Concubine Liu Jie. How can I disturb me?" Concubine Zhao remembered the cold and deserted posture of Chengxiang Palace. When she recalled the crowds of the prince when he was first sealed, she felt sour and awkward in her heart. She immediately sneered, "As for others to avoid it, why would she let me step into the door? Only Concubine Hui often comes to ask about her well-being in person, and sends various medicinal materials and folk remedies again and again. But I, a useless man, can't repay anything!"

Hearing this, Li Longji frowned slightly, and then stretched out as if nothing had happened: "Since Concubine Hui often comes, you might as well go there often after you get better. After you relax, you may be healthy."

From lunch to the whole afternoon, Li Longji was always hanging in Chengxiang Palace. The news spread everywhere, which caused an uproar among the concubines. Only Wu Hui, who was trimming the branches sent from the warm room in the palace and preparing to insert the bottle, quietly trimmed the flowers in his hand neatly and inserted them into the bottle casually, then nodded with a smile.
