manor.

Cao Lie glanced at Tao Xiaomi, who looked embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Marquis, stop laughing."

Tao Xiaomi said with a look of embarrassment: "It's only been less than three months, and Chen Xugong has left me with everything. When this continues to stop the Internet, I will be the number one target of the court and the main culprit."

Cao Lie couldn't help laughing louder when he heard this.

Tao Xiaomi sighed, "Mr. Marquis, you are smiling happily. I am very depressed now. I am from Tingwei Mansion. Don't wait until the Tingwei Mansion comes to get people. I will run straight to me, and the chain is on my neck... Let's go, brother, the Tingwei Mansion's punishment room has left you a single room."

Cao Lie laughed and said, "You can still make jokes, which means you are not worried."

Tao Xiaomi said: "Is this a joke?"

Cao Lie said: "You have now become the second-in-command of this chamber of commerce. This is a good thing, but I think your goal is wrong now."

Tao Xiaomi asked quickly: "What instructions does the Marquis have?"

Cao Lie sat upright and said seriously: "You have easily become the second-in-command of the Chamber of Commerce, which shows three things."

He stretched out a finger: "First, this Chen Xugong is nothing great, he is just a fool, why worry?"

"Secondly, the staff of the Chamber of Commerce now has too many loopholes to exploit. If you can exploit this, then more of your people will be inserted into the Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention the second-in-command, you will just destroy Chen Xu's achievements when you want to do it. It is possible that you will be the top-in."

"Thirdly, it's so easy for you to be the second-in-command, because the goals set by your Chamber of Commerce are too low. It has been more than two months, and the business is still in this mere city and county."

"If you want to be the second-in-command, you must expand your goals, look at the world, and make the Chamber of Commerce bigger and stronger. In this way, you won't feel that easy."

Tao Xiaomi just looked at Cao Lie, making Cao Lie laugh more and more.

“Be bigger and stronger…”

Tao Xiaomi sighed: "My dear marquis, if you become bigger and stronger, and your business will reach the entire Daning, then I, the main culprit, don't think about running away."

Cao Lie smiled and said, "You are really not ambitious. Let's do this. Since you don't have a clear goal, I'll set one for you."

Tao Xiaomi said: "Although I didn't want to ask the marquis to give orders, I can only say I want to ask the marquis to give orders now."

Cao Lie said: "That's right, I am the one who can prove your identity now. You have to flatter me."

Tao Xiaomi sighed.

Cao Lie said: "I used to get you some of the silver you need for a total of 100,000 taels of money. I will set a small goal for you. You will return the principal of 100,000 taels within half a year. If you can't do it, I will go to His Majesty and say that your status is dangerous now. In order to protect you, the Tingwei Mansion should delete all your files and files..."

Tao Xiaomi: "What kind of hatred is what kind of grudge..."

Cao Lie laughed and said, "I will give it back to me within half a year and earn it another 100,000 taels within a year. After this matter is done, don't say that your identity must be protected, Your Majesty will also miss you."

Tao Xiaomi asked curiously: "Why does Your Majesty miss me?"

Cao Lie actually explained patiently, perhaps because he was in a good mood today.

"I went to Chang'an a while ago to see Your Majesty. The first thing Your Majesty said to me was... short of money."

Cao Lie said: "Can you bear this kind of lack of money as a minister? If you earn 100,000 taels of pocket money for Your Majesty within a year, Your Majesty will smile when you see you."

Tao Xiaomi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Really?"

Cao Lie said: "What am I lying to you? After all, if you can't give your pocket money, I have to pay the money."

Tao Xiaomi was shocked again.

"Your Majesty is asking for money from the Marquis, please let me make money for your Majesty..."

Tao Xiaomi sighed, "No wonder they say that they will do business with the little marquis, and no one will grow."

Cao Lie smiled and said, "I will lend you the principal and you will earn money for Your Majesty. I will not pay the money by then. I am very happy. Although you paid the money, Your Majesty is happy. If Your Majesty is happy, you will be promoted. You will be happy to be promoted. All three of them are happy. Is it beautiful?"

Tao Xiaomi said: "Okay..."

Cao Lie clapped Tao Xiaomi and said, "Try hard!"

Two months later, the Chinese New Year was over, and the first prince of Daning learned to walk. Although it seemed like he would fall down at any time, the little guy just refused to sit down and rest for a while. He was always very excited when he learned to walk.

The prince was named Li Longshi, and Gao Xining gave him a nickname called Tuotuo.

As a biological mother, if she thinks that Li Chi’s nickname is Diuduo, she would have said that she would be the only one who gave the prince a nickname Tuotuo.

But she kept calling her son a piece of cake, which made this mother seem very inappropriate.

Seeing the child learning to walk there, Gao Xining was still thinking, why didn't this little guy fall yet?

However, Xiahou Yuli was following Li Tuotuo carefully, for fear that he would fall.

"Don't be afraid, it's nothing if a child falls. Who doesn't fall when he learns toddlers?"

Gao Xining smiled and said, "My grandfather said that he just took care of this when I was a child, so I was so naughty."

Xiahou Yuli glared at her: "No wonder you have a bad mind... they all fell when you were a child."

Gao Xining: "Ah! How dare you speak to the queen like this? Believe it or not, I will pull you out to serve Your Majesty."

Xiahou Yuli blushed and subconsciously looked down at her lower abdomen. It has been two months since she entered the palace, and the zodiac auspicious day she chose before the New Year.

The back of the palace was named a concubine, only under Gao Xining. This matter was caused by Gao Xining.

Speaking of which, the Empress of our Daning finally managed to protect a mediator.

Unlike when Lu Chonglou took Zhao Shishi before the New Year, she was just a matchmaker, and she was unhappy when she thought about it.

Gao Xining made the case that Xiahou Yuli entered the palace, but he didn't feel satisfied at all. He also wanted to bring Liu Yingyuan and Yuan Jiabei into the palace as soon as possible.

Xiahou Yuli had only been in the palace for two months, but he didn't expect it to be so accurate... He was pregnant and only went to the imperial doctor to see it yesterday, saying it was a happy pulse.

At this time, when Gao Xining heard that he would pull her out to serve His Majesty, Xiahou Yuli glared at Gao Xining again.

The two of them were watching the child play here, and Li Chi was discussing matters with Mr. Yan and the others in the East Nuan Pavilion.

Mr. Yan looks a little fatter than before. Mr. Li Chi said that it was Miss Ruoling who took care of Mr. Yan so well.

"Yesterday Cao Lie sent someone to send news."

Li Chi said: "That man named Chen Xugong, after listening to Tao Xiaomi's advice, he wanted to do his business to the south of the Yangtze River."

Mr. Yan laughed at this and said, "This Tao Xiaomi is really capable, she loves everything..."

Li Chi was also amused by Mr. Yan's words.

"Tao Xiaomi wrote to me to complain, saying that Chen Xugong is a very lazy person. After seeing him doing things well over the past few months, he simply handed over most of the business to him. Chen Xugong went to have fun all day long and became a regular customer of the brothel."

Li Chi smiled and said, "Tao Xiaomi said that if this continues, he is worried that he will not only become the main culprit in the future, but also the first culprit."

Mr. Yan: "How did Your Majesty respond to him?"

Li Chi said: "I sent someone to tell him that as long as you earn more money for me, I will give you a special pardon at that time."

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Mr. Yan smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth.

“By the way.”

Li Chi pointed to the memorial on the table: "This is the second memorial from Xu Ji after the New Year. Please allow me to allow him to return to Chang'an. He probably felt that he had been wandering outside for too long. He was worried about changes in the court. He was afraid that I would promote Lu Chonglou and replace him while he was away. He was also afraid that he would make more and more enemies after he had been outside for so long."

Mr. Yan said: "Your Majesty is planning to let him come back?"

Li Chi nodded: "Come back, I have broken up his right-hand arm in the court. He is eager to come back and rebuild this right-hand arm. I have to give him a chance."

"The second is...there are more and more envoys from various countries who are planning to come to Chang'an to pay homage. It would be better to leave this kind of thing to Xu Ji, after all, he is the prime minister of Daning."

Li Chi said while walking around the room, "By the way."

Li Chi looked at Mr. Yan and said, "Gao Zhen sent me a secret report."

When Mr. Yan heard this, his eyes lit up.

Gao Zhen is also a chess move made by His Majesty, and this move is specially for Xu Ji to see.

Originally, Li Chi wanted to arrange a higher position for Gao Zhen, but Li Chi wanted to leave a way for Xu Ji, so he deliberately suppressed Gao Zhen and did not promote him. He is still a third-rank rank.

According to military merits, Gao Zhen is still a third-rank official, obviously, and he is not inferior to others. After all, he has never fallen behind in the battles of the south and north.

As soon as he heard His Majesty say that Gao Zhen had come to report secretly, Mr. Yan guessed that it was also related to Xu Ji.

Li Chi looked at Mr. Yan and said, "Xu Ji has indeed sent someone to see Gao Zhen. Although he has not mentioned any useful things yet, Gao Zhen told me that the people sent by Xu Ji are very flattering to him, obviously to make the relationship better."

Mr. Yan nodded: "Xu Ji will not mention anything to Gao Zhen in a short period of time, but will try his best to win over and give money to the beauty..."

He looked at Li Chi, who smiled and said, "I have replied to Gao Zhen and told him to accept everything."

Mr. Yan said: "Does Your Majesty also plan to transfer Gao Zhen back from southern Xinjiang in two years?"

Li Chi nodded.

He walked to the window and looked out. In the distance, Gao Xining and Xiahou Yuli were walking towards this side, holding Li Tuotuo's hand.

Li Chi said to himself, "I have to lay the foundation for them. Even if I seem to be a little more sinister, the foundation must be laid firmly."

Mr. Yan took a deep breath. Of course he understood His Majesty’s thoughts. He was the one who could understand His Majesty’s thoughts the most.

When he was in the academy, Mr. Yan asked Li Chi, who was only a teenager: "You told Dean Gao that practicing martial arts is more difficult and more useful than studying. Do you really feel this way in your heart?"

"yes."

Li Chi replied at the time: "In the world now, practicing martial arts is more useful, because practicing martial arts can at least give you a greater chance of survival, but not in the future."

He raised his head, his beautiful big eyes shining.

He said: "If one day all the children in the world can study in such a college like me, wouldn't it be more useful to study?"
