Pu Zezheng was already the governor of the prefecture and his parents' official in a state. If he went further, he would go to Beijing to serve, and again he was at the level of a minister.

Now the power of the Tang Dynasty is transitioning to Prince Li Zhi, which is the most critical time.

If you do some achievements at this time, you will definitely be able to win the credit for the prince, and your future will be unlimited.

Pu Zezheng was able to be promoted to the lord of a state in just ten years, and he was still very keen to grasp the future of the situation.

"Governor Pu, Chief Ma is back."

Pu Ze was getting the news he was thinking about, and suddenly he rose up and ran out with a smile. He didn't see this person, and the voice of joy had already been expressed: "I hope the return of the chief minister, and I hope for the rain for a long time."

He asked the doorman if Ma Changshi came back every day. He asked so much that he could answer without opening his mouth.

When he left the hall, he saw the chief of the emperor whom he trusted the most awkwardly standing in the outer courtyard with an embarrassment. He felt a sense of unknownness in his heart.

"Governor!"

Ma Chen smiled awkwardly.

Pu Zezheng asked, "What's wrong? The King of Wu disagrees?"

Ma Chen's awkward expression appeared again with a bitterness, and he said, "Of course I don't agree."

Pu Zezheng said anxiously: "Didn't you explain to Your Highness? Our land in Jeju is the most suitable for growing cotton, with oranges in the south and tangerines in the north. How can cotton in Jiangnan be compared with Jeju?"

Before Li Yuanai introduced cotton, the cotton flowers grown in Jeju were the only ones that could be placed on the table.

Most of the cotton flowers in Chang'an and Luoyang are purchased from Jeju.

"No!" Pu Ze was anxious and sweating profusely. He was unwilling to give up like this. He said, "Chang Shi has worked hard all the way. You can handle the affairs of the prefecture first, and you will go there in person."

"Governor!" Ma Chen hurriedly grabbed him and said, "You'd better not go, why should you be insulted more often?"

Pu Ze's face changed slightly and said, "Why is the King of Wu making things difficult for you?"

Ma Chen sighed, "It would be fine if it was a problem. I waited for King Wu for many days, but the King of Wu would not see him in front of me. My subordinate was thinking about the big event and was shameless on the road to wait for him to pay homage. He didn't look at him directly, but wrote a roller on his post and threw it out."

Pu Ze was furious in an instant. Li Yuanai not only slapped Ma Chen in the face, but also slapped him in the face. Ma Chen was asking for his behalf, the governor of the state prefecture.

"Even if you don't want to! Just say it, why should you humiliate others? It's too arrogant!"

Pu Zezheng's blood surged, saying, "Is there any scholars in the world who are so humiliating the important officials of the court?"

His chest was undulating and said, "The saint just issued an edict to reprimand the King of Wu for scolding him for falling into the eyes of money, and he still didn't repent. It's good, it's good!"

Pu Ze was muttering a few words, and he had a certain plan in his heart.

To be able to reach today, Pu Zezheng and the Cui family's support is inseparable.

Pu Zezheng didn't want to go the whole way, and it was obvious to all that the aristocratic family was not favored by the royal family.

Compared to following the aristocratic family, Pu Zezheng wanted to become the emperor's confidant and rely on himself to make a world.

But now it seems that it is impossible not to use the power of the aristocratic family.

************

Chang'an, Shangwang Pavilion, third floor!

Li Zhi stood in the outer corridor and looked at the polo court not far away. There was Changle, Jinyang and his concubines happily playing polo.

The two sides were far apart and could not hear any sound, but Changle and Jinyang's laughter seemed to be able to reach their ears, and a little smile appeared on their faces with a little tenderness.

There is nothing in the world, and nothing can be a chess piece.

There are only a few people who really deserve to be cared for.

It was already the day of summer and the Tai Chi Palace was unbearable for heat. Li Shimin chose to escape the summer heat in Bashui Villa as before.

Before, he wanted to build a Cuiwei Palace for himself in Zhongnan Mountain for summer vacation.

However, Yan Lide and Yan Liben gave the construction plan as Li Shimin said.

As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how could the summer palace be second to the Bashui Villa?

But the Bashui Villa has the Bashui River, the beautiful scenery of the small Zhongnan Mountains, and there are also architects like Li Yuanai who run through ancient and modern times. Where can Yan Lide and Yan Liben follow the example?

So Li Shimin stopped building a Cuiwei Palace and moved directly to Bashui Villa to escape the summer heat.

There was a mutiny here, and he was not afraid of it.

Li Zhi cared about his father's health, so he naturally helped him.

Then Changle and Jinyang came one by one.

Then Bashui Villa instantly became a small court.

On the seventh floor of Shangwang Pavilion, Li Shimin gathered on the top floor and got the upper four floors. Li Zhi, as the prince, lived on the lower three floors.

"Your Highness!"

After receiving Li Zhi's summons, Xu Jingzong bowed respectfully and greeted him.

Li Zhi kept saying the memorial on the case: "If you count, how many copies are impeached by Uncle Sixteen?"

Xu Jingzong had a little cold on his back. He said that the prince was kind, filial and cowardly, but he knew very well.

Be kind and filial, cowardly, the master in front of him can only be regarded as the word filial.

The others... are far from each other.

Xu Jingzong honestly counted two stacks of memorials one by one, not just counting them, but also remembering them, remembering the names of these people in his mind.

After passing it one by one, Xu Jingzong said, "I've counted it, there are thirty-five people in total."

"Remember?"

Li Zhi asked.

Xu Jingzong said truthfully: "Remember."

"Okay! Let's go down!" Li Zhi didn't say the reason. Xu Jingzong understood if he could understand, and if he couldn't understand, he would change someone who could understand.

Anyway, Li Xiaojiu is a white lotus, so he will never say or do things that have lost his identity.

Seeing Xu Jingzong leaving, Li Zhi called two eunuchs and brought thirty-five memorials to the Shangwang Pavilion to the Shangwang Pavilion.

On the seven-story attic, Li Shimin lay on the bamboo lounge chair specially made for himself by Li Yuanai, and cooled down on the observation deck.

Shangwang Pavilion is located on the mountainside and is seven floors high. Even if it is hot in summer, the breeze is still constantly on the breeze.

"Father, don't suffer from the cold."

Seeing this, Li Zhi hurried forward and took Li Shimin a thin cloak.

"It's strange today. It was obviously the day of autumn and it was covered with clouds. It was a little rain last night, but it was a little cold."

Li Shimin gently shook the lounge chair and said, "It's rare to be cloudy. The prince should go out and move. Play polo with Jinyang, Changle and others. Don't worry about getting sick in the house. As for the father, you don't need to worry. There is no one in the world who can enjoy it than your sixteenth uncle. The father is leisurely here."

He glanced at the memorial held in the hand of the eunuch behind Li Zhi, and said, "All of them are impeachment sixteen?"

He lay down due to illness, but his mind was still very clear.

Li Zhi has successfully taken over the court. Except for Li Tai, a hidden danger that cannot be moved, no one can threaten him.

Apart from the Jiangnan problem, Li Zhi would not come to trouble him to rest.

"Yes..." Li Zhi said: "Since my son chose Luo Binwang as the top scholar and Lu Jing as the Tanhua, there has been a vague sign of this. Now they are holding the Sixteenth Uncle to despise the court officials, and are arrogant and arrogant, and keep writing memorials and impeachments."
