MTL - Ask Sword-Chapter 502 control

  Section 502

   Tap, tap, tap.

  Prince Li Si of the Kingdom of Yu stepped down the steps of the Yanying Hall of the Daming Palace. The beard he deliberately grew in pursuit of maturity was blown by the cold wind, and there was an imperceptible worry hidden between his brows and eyes.

  He just finished his consultation with the emperor.

   "Your Highness."

  Yunhe Siping quietly appeared in the Eastern Palace, and handed over a cold brocade robe in his hand.

Li Si took the brocade robe and put it on, knowing what his friend wanted to ask, he took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty just asked about Chang'an's defense, the grain and grass harvests of the two Jiangnan provinces, the ship repairs of the Henan province, the list of tribute envoys for the Honglu Temple, etc. .”

"Is it?"

  He Siping smiled slightly when he heard the words, "It's a good thing."

  Nowadays, many documents from Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province will be sent to the East Palace to consult the crown prince's opinions and suggestions.

   Authority is much greater than in the past.

   "Alas. Just having fun while suffering."

Li Si shook his head. His fourth brother Li Hui is currently presiding over the end of the plague in Hedong Road. Li Shan, the king of light who had no sense of existence for many years, is still in charge of the operation of locomotives and the construction of railway tracks in Quanyu Kingdom. Countless people visit him every day. .

  “There will always be a day when all hardships will be rewarded.”

  He Siping comforted with a smile.

  “.will it?”

  Li Si squinted his eyes, looking at the empty and lonely square in front of the hall.

  Anyone in Chang'an knows that the emperor prefers to pamper Yue Wang Li Hui, so he broke the convention many times, forced to stay in Chang'an, rewarded the mansion, and spent a lot of money to hold a wedding.

  Even if there was such a big mess on the wedding day, the investigation of the Yue Palace was held high and put down gently. It didn't affect Li Hui's status at all.

   Li Si laughed at himself in his heart, if it wasn't for these years, he would be trembling like walking on eggshells, and never made any mistakes. I'm afraid the position of the crown prince has already been replaced, right?

   His uncle Zhongshuling Xueji, who was supposed to be his greatest reliance, was also Li Hui's uncle. For Xue Ji, no matter which nephew inherits the throne, he can guarantee Xue's future, so there is no need to participate in the struggle.

  The rest of the prime ministers have nothing to do with this attitude—the emperor is very healthy, or too healthy. No sign of change in sight.

  For the prince, if he does not communicate with courtiers, he has no chance to develop power. If you have too close contacts with your courtiers, you will be criticized by all parties, and even the emperor's vigilance.

  Li Huineng entertained scholars every day in the palace to attract talents. Meet officials outside and win over people.

  He couldn't.

"Will do."

  He Siping's tone was firm, and just about to say something, he heard the sound of the carriage wheels running over bricks and stones.

   "Is that... Shanzhang's carriage?"

  Li Si frowned slightly, the carriage coming from Yanying Gate looked simple and simple, and he could be recognized at a glance.

  The vehicle stopped in front of the Yanying Hall, and Lian Xuanxiao got out of the vehicle, holding a long brocade bag in his hand, which looked like it contained a paper scroll or something.

  He Siping asked softly: "Do you want to say hello?"

"No."

  Li Si shook his head, the head of the mountain had a solemn expression, and walked forward on his own, while the servant had already come out of the Yanying Hall, trotting to meet the head of the mountain. Obviously, this entry into the palace was arranged by the emperor.

   It's not the right time to say hello at this time.

   "What do you think is in that brocade bag? Could it be the blueprint of the plane during the day?"

  Li Si also heard about the latest invention of Neo-Confucianism, and was very interested.

   "Probably not. If Your Majesty wants to see the blueprint of the plane, just ask the supervisor to deliver it. There is no need to bother the head of the mountain."

  He Siping said softly, his eyes swept over Lian Xuanxiao's dry and pale hair at the temples.

   Li Si sighed: "The head of the mountain is also old."

   "Yes, the head of the mountain will also grow old."

  He Siping's eyes were deep and his voice softened.

  The words of the two are similar, but the meanings contained in them seem to be different.

  ——

   "Sun Rises You"

  At noon, in the school cafeteria, Yang Yu looked at Li Ang with a pale face and sunken eyes in shock, like Li Ang who hadn't slept well for several days and nights.

  His eyes moved back and forth between Li Ang and Chai Chai who was immersed in digging food, and his eyes gradually became strange.

   It is said that Xiaobie is better than a newlywed, and Li Ang just came back from Hedong Road less than two days ago, and he became like this

  Yong Hongzhong also smacked his lips, "...be careful, Risheng."

   "What are you thinking about, you two?"

   Li Ang rolled his eyes, put the dinner plate on the table, and rubbed his aching shoulder.

  After Shanchang left Dongjun Tower yesterday, Li Ang fought with the brown mud twice again, but ended in failure.

  If there is no moss to repair the injury, the current situation will only be worse.

  He clenched his slightly trembling fists, instead of holding the chopsticks with his hands, he held his palm with his mind, pretending to eat with chopsticks.

   Not long after, Li Leling, Qiu Feng and other friends also came over with dinner plates.

  They also had dark circles under their eyes, and they obviously didn't sleep well—in order to catch up with the homework accumulated these days.

   It’s impossible not to catch up with the progress of study, and the final exam will soon be on winter vacation.

  Li Leling can't be the first prince and princess to fail the year-end exam.

   Seeing that the person was due, Li Ang put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat, and said, "You may not see me in the next month."

"ah?"

  My friends were surprised and stunned, "Are you going out of town again?"

   Li Ang may be the student with the most absenteeism in the school's century. This school year, the time spent outside is longer than the time spent in classrooms.

   "No, I have something to deal with in Dongjun Building."

   Li Ang didn't explain anything. He originally wanted to take care of his studies and deal with the brown mud, but after yesterday's battle, he was sure that

  Even if he releases Mosi with all his strength and uses all means including Karma, Any Door, and Glowing Crossbow,

   It is difficult to defeat the demon transformed from the brown mud, let alone suppress it, and even restore it to its immobile rock form.

  In order to complete the task, he had to put aside his studies.

Li Ang said: "I have applied for a leave of absence from Jijiu, and it has been approved. I don't have to take all the courses. In the next month, I will live in the old building in the back mountain. Please remember it for me Notes and homework. If you need anything, you can come to the back mountain to find me."

"Wow."

  Yang Yu and the others were full of envy. They didn't have to go to class, and they could get a leave note personally approved by Jijiu, which was even more powerful than the school tour.

"Ah."

   Li Ang shook his head and smiled helplessly. If they were asked to go to the fifth floor of Dongjun Building to see the brown mud and experience for themselves the feeling of being chased and killed by monsters, they would definitely not sigh like this.
