A person's personality can never be just a honest and honest side. Once he talks about interests, most people will change to another face. Whether it is really smart or fake, he will eventually show his smart and calculating appearance, as if there is another devil in his heart. The thing "interest" can summon it, harm others or yourself.

Li Su also quite understood Shi Neyan's sudden change in expression.

Now everyone is not talking about personal interests, but the interests between countries. When it comes to the height of the country, it naturally cannot be exchanged for private favors. It is a different matter. Therefore, even if Li Su is kind to him, when talking about state affairs, Shi Nayan will inevitably show his smart calculations. To put it bluntly, Shi Nayan is no longer the cowardly man trapped by love but helpless, but a prince of a king.

Li Su couldn't help but admire him. He suddenly changed from one identity to another. The two were not only quick to change, but also quickly got into the role. It was obviously a professional acting skill. No matter how cowardly he had been in Chang'an City, he could only hide aside and secretly feel sad. But the prince was the prince. When the topic rose to the national level, he naturally showed the solemnity and caution that the prince should have. At this time, he was completely different from the person trapped in love and had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Shi Neyan's sudden cunning appearance, Li Su was stunned for a moment, and after understanding, he felt an urge to suck him inexplicably.

Even though I admire him, I still want to beat him. Li Su's two moods changed very naturally without any blunt behavior.

"What does it mean? You can't even ask for rice seeds to find you?" Li Su narrowed her eyes.

Shi Neyan coughed twice and said, "Don't give it to God. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to seek rice seeds, I'm afraid it would be...ah, I'm a little embarrassed..."

Li Su's eyes narrowed and thinner, and her eyes became a little colder: "Don't talk nonsense, just say the request, Zhen La needs something from the Tang Dynasty to change the rice seeds."

Shi Neyan was a little embarrassed and his face turned red. After a while, Qiqi Ai Ai said: "Marquis Li County has forgiven his crimes. I should not mention this matter, but Zhenla's domestic products are barren, and there is nothing else except rice seeds. If the descendants cannot treat them well, they will be punished by God and will not be blessed in the future."

Li Su said expressionlessly: "This sentence is still nonsense."

Li Su paused, and saw Shi Neyan's expression becoming more and more cramped and embarrassed, and said coldly: "Your Highness, our Tang Dynasty has a saying, this sentence is not very polite, but it can express my current meaning. This sentence is... 'If you don't eat toast, you will be fined for wine'. Perhaps in your heart, private affairs and state affairs are separate. You and state affairs do not mean that you can make concessions on state affairs. But for me, your private affairs and state affairs are connected. You and I have never met before, and I can't talk about friendship. I risk losing my head and help a stranger fulfill his personal affairs for no reason. Do you think I took the wrong medicine or do you think I was born with a warm heart?"

Seeing that Li Su was angry, Shi Neyan looked even more frightened and hurriedly stood up to apologize.

Li Su's tone gradually became stronger: "I want to explain the truth to you. I help you because it is beneficial. This 'profit' is not self-interest, but national benefits related to the people and national destiny of the Tang Dynasty! Without this premise, I would have taken such a great risk for you if I went crazy. I was imprisoned by Your Majesty in Dali Temple for more than ten days and almost exiled for thousands of miles. Until now, my official title has not been restored. I paid such a great price. It is not just to listen to your thanks and gratitude. I have paid, you have to pay, otherwise..."

Li Su suddenly grinned and showed his white teeth at Shi Neyan. His white and mournful look was particularly terrifying: "... Otherwise, if you don't give it to me, we will take it ourselves! As for Princess Wencheng, you don't even think about it. I can help you and can ruin this marriage with you. Do you want to try it? Not to mention that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has been carrying the reputation of betrayal for you, and offended the powerful country of Tubo. The two countries now have 100,000 troops on the border, and the war is about to begin. The root of all these things is because of you. If Your Majesty knows that you are ignorant of your gratitude, you will destroy bridges across the river. Just Zhenla, ask yourself if you can bear the thunderous anger of His Majesty Tian Khan?"

When Li Suhan said something angry, Shi Neyan was frightened and frightened, and cold sweat slid down his forehead one by one.

"Li County Marquis, the county Marquis is angry. Shi is wrong and apologizes to the Li County Marquis. Just now, Shi is just, just..." Shi Neyan raised his sleeve and wiped his sweat, and said with a wry smile: "Just blurted out just now, I was speechless. My father has taught me since I was young that the Zhen La Kingdom is the first in everything, so when I heard that when Li County Marquis talk about rice seeds, I unconsciously... Alas!"

Hearing Shi Neyan admit his mistake, Li Su's face finally calmed down a little, he glanced at him coldly, and said, "It is understandable that everyone is for their own country and compete for profit, but it should not be too much. His Highness the Prince has been reading the books of sages in Chang'an City for more than ten years. You should know the principle of 'Stake the peach and plums and repay Qiong Yao'. The matter between you and Princess Wencheng, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and I have already done this for you. If you are still greedy, it would be too much."

Shi Neyan said with silence for a moment, and said aiqi: "Marty of Li County, Shi has a small unkind request. He also asked the Marquis of Li County to report to His Majesty Tian Khan on my behalf. This request was originally mentioned when Zhenla sent an envoy to congratulate His Majesty next year. Now this incident is happening, it is an opportunity. Marquis of Li County, please believe that this matter has nothing to do with the Zhenla rice seeds needed by the Tang Dynasty. Even if there is no such incident, our Zhenla envoy will request it in front of His Majesty next year."

Li Su said coldly: "Let me say it, I can't guarantee whether Your Majesty agrees."

Shi Neyan pondered for a moment and said, "Zhen La wanted to worship the Tang Dynasty as the sect leader. From now on, only the leader of the Tang Dynasty will follow the leader. Every year, I send envoys to congratulate the ministers, and the year is not delayed. At the same time, I also want to ask His Majesty Tiankhan of the Tang Dynasty to make an alliance with Zhenla, and the two countries will not invade each other. From then on, the lord of Zhenla recognized by the royal family of the Tang Dynasty is only the Jayavarmo family. There are usurpers in the Zhenla country. The Tang Dynasty regards him as a rebel, and he must raise troops to attack him and help me restore the country. The Marquis of Li County, I don't know if this request, can His Majesty Tiankhan agree?"

Li Su's face was quiet, he closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and slowly said, "The request is not too much. I can report to Your Majesty, and it is up to Your Majesty to decide. This is a mutual benefit for both countries, and I think your Majesty should not refuse."

Shi Neyan was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up to salute: "Thank you for the kindness of the Hou of Li County."

Li Su glanced at him and said, "Then, the matter of real rice seeds..."

Shi Neyan said without hesitation: "No problem, I can respond to all the things on behalf of my father. The Zhenla Kingdom transported thousands of good rice seeds to the Tang Dynasty every year, and immediately selected experienced farming farmers from the middle school to enter Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty immediately. However, if you know, you will say everything. In addition, all the crops and fruits produced by Zhenla have good varieties and fast horses to send them to Chang'an."

A hint of joy flashed across Li Su's face, and then he quickly calmed down as water, and snorted very pretentiously: "I paid such a big price and was bargained for a long time by you. Why do I feel that this transaction is losing money? Why did Your Highness teach me?"

Shi Neyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I heard what the Marquis of Li County said, but... I gave you all my belongings in Chang'an. Now I am so poor that my family is barely submissive, and I am really unable to satisfy what the Marquis of Li County wants..."

Li Su blinked her eyes and looked at him purely and cutely: "Can you write an IOU, can you owe me 50,000 yuan? Is it good to let your envoy bring Chang'an next year..."

Li Su joked with Dongyang that he would definitely extort the Zhenla prince and lose all his money. After he married Princess Wencheng, he would go out to the street to beg for food to support his family.

The joke that was originally made has come true now.

Shi Neyan is really poor. Although he is not really as if he is "limited to the point of being alone in the family", at least because of his excitement, he wants to go to a wine shop in Chang'an City. I'm afraid he really has to consider whether the wallet on his body is enough.

Li Su believed that if he blackmailed him once or twice, the prince would really be able to kneel outside the official office of the Ministry of Revenue of the Tang Dynasty and cry for help.

It was very cool. I drank a bowl of iced sour plum soup on a hot day and felt cool from the beginning to the heart.

After all the preparations are done, the last step is left. The envoys of the six countries compete fairly and compete for the princesses. What should they compete for?

When he was jailed in Dali Temple, Li Su wrote a memorial overnight to Tai Chi Palace, and said the general idea of ​​solving this problem, saying it was "abbreviated", but it was not that specific. For example, the six countries competed for princesses. This method is a bit cliché, but it is undeniable that this is the easiest and most effective way to solve the problem once and for all. The winner will be able to hold the beauty, and the loser will be inferior to others. There is nothing to say. In front of many foreign envoys in Chang'an City, the Tang Dynasty's practices cannot be found out, so it will not cause any criticism.

So, the question is, what kind of question can calmly stump Lu Dongzan of Tubo and let the monkey prince of Zhenla Kingdom naturally bear the beauty?

Li Su was in trouble and sat alone in the house and worried.

The room was very quiet, Li Suban was lying beside the charcoal fire, the stove was warm, the charcoal inside was burning red, and there was a copper pot hanging on the fire, and the water in the pot was steaming.

Staring at the red charcoal fire, Li Su's thoughts were gone without realizing it, but now he was thinking about something else.

...After the spring of next year, we should send a few people to look for coal mines. We won’t run far away. There will be near Jinyang, the Longxing land of Emperor Gaozu, and the storage capacity is still quite large. At that time, three or four ox carts will be fully loaded. The family will be enough for winter. If there is still a surplus, just open a private kiln to burn porcelain. The coal heat is much higher than the charcoal fire. The porcelain is white and dense, and it is stronger than the official kiln tribute kiln. The porcelain is for your family to use first. If the excess is sold, you might as well be sold by your father-in-law. If the sales are good, just open a porcelain workshop. From then on, there will be another way of wealth at home. Isn’t it beautiful?

By the way, my family has been in a lot of collection recently and the warehouse is almost full. Should I expand another warehouse? This is really a sweet worry...

Li Su's thoughts drifted farther and for a moment, he threw the trouble of solving the princesses of the Six Kingdoms into the sky.

A pair of slender hands gently pressed Li Su's temple, and the movement was very gentle, accompanied by a slightly strong perfume smell.

Li Su closed her eyes habitually and was about to enjoy Xu Mingzhu's massage. Then suddenly she felt something was wrong, her body stiffened and she turned her head quickly.

It was not Xu Mingzhu who massaged his temples behind him, but Wu. Li Su's movement of turning his head was too sudden. Wu was also startled and couldn't help but take a step back.

Li Su's eyes slowed down and he smiled faintly: "It turns out to be Miss Wu, I thought it was Mingzhu."

Wu lowered his head and said, "Mrs. I went to the Taoist temple early in the morning. His Highness, Princess Dongyang, sent someone to send a message yesterday, saying that His Majesty gave him a few pots of wine from the Western Regions. It was particularly flavorful after the ice was frozen. His Highness asked his Lady to go over and taste it."

Li Su was stunned for a moment and said, "When did Mingzhu get so close to Dongyang...?"

Wu chuckled and said, "Since the last time His Highness went to the marquis' mansion to serve the master and take medicine, the lady has been close to the palace. Her wife feels sorry for His Highness alone in the Taoist temple, and there is no close friend who speaks his own words, so she often goes to the Taoist temple to accompany His Highness..."

Li Su pulled her cheeks, and the two most important women in her life became best friends. For Li Su, she really didn't know whether it was a blessing or a misfortune. If she wanted to lie and tell lies in front of any of them in the future, she would probably have to make a draft first so that she would not be misleading.

He looked up at Wu's family and Li Su said, "When did you come in?"

Wu whispered, "I just passed by the door and saw the Marquis alone and frowning, so I came in to relieve the Marquis's mood."

Li Su nodded: "You are a guest in my mansion. Although you are a maid, you know that no one in the mansion really treats you as a maid, so you don't have to do things like massage in the future."

Wu smiled and said, "The Marquis is my servant's benefactor. It doesn't matter if I relieve my husband's mood. I am not a precious identity, so why can't I do it?"

Li Su was slightly stunned and felt something was wrong. He glanced up and saw Wu's eyes with a little charming feeling, his face was slightly red, and his eyes were like water. Li Su's heart tightened, and the alarm in his mind was shaped.

No! This woman is going to be a witch!...Where is my dad's magic weapon?

Very anxious. This woman started to make trouble while Xu Mingzhu was not at home. Seeing her springy look at her now, if she doesn’t resist, she may lose her chastity!

"Stop! Miss Wu, keep your rationality and restrain your animal nature!" Li Su raised her hand and let out a Buddhist lion roar like enlightenment.

Wu was stunned, the spring tide on his face faded away, and he looked at Li Su in a daze, his eyes were a little hurt.

Li Su sighed and sighed: "Miss Wu, you and I are actually the same type of people. You can guess my thoughts, and I also know your thoughts. With your scheming, my wife and Dongyang, both of them can't beat you together. However, with your current ability, you can't beat me. I can clearly know the motivation and purpose of every step you take. You may not necessarily know my motivation and purpose, including at this moment, when you act like this to me, why do you want to ask yourself the true heart, and how many of them are the expression of true feelings and how many are the result of profit?"

Wu was stunned and silent, but his face gradually pale.

Li Su spread his hands, smiled, and said, "Look, everything in the world, if it is separated by a layer of window paper, looks very hazy and beautiful, like a picture, talented man and beautiful woman, fairy and beautiful relatives, envious to others. However, once you tear open this layer of window paper, all the originally hazy and beautiful things have changed, both ugly and embarrassing. Miss Wu, I can understand your mood. You know that you are getting older and you will waste your time. When you reach Huanghua's age yesterday, not only will you have no power in this life, but even Xu's good husband's family has become a luxury. So you have been thinking about me. The Marquis of Datang County is deeply loved by the saints, young and promising, and have a bright future. If you are included in the backyard and become one of my wives and concubines, you also have enough confidence to lay a solid foundation for your future through my power and connections... Miss Wu, am I right?"

Wu slowly lowered his head, his face still pale, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes from time to time, and it was obvious that Li Su said to him.

Li Su sighed: "Take a step back, even if I take you into my backyard, you will follow me as a concubine from now on. However, you have been living by someone who can see through you at a glance for many years. Any small tricks and tricks of you are exposed to the other party's eyes, leaving you without any hiding and hiding, and you will never be able to get out of this shadow in your entire life. Every step you take is in the control of others, but you cannot master anything. Miss Wu, you might as well ask yourself, is this kind of life really what you want? Are you happy when you live in such an environment? Do you have no regrets?"

These words were said very deeply. In fact, Li Su had long noticed Wu's little thoughts. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to make these words tactfully clear to her, but he didn't expect that today would happen so suddenly. Li Su didn't care much about it at the moment, and he couldn't even care about how gentle and tactful the words were, so he said it thoroughly, but it was too straightforward and not nice. At least Wu's face was ugly at this moment.

Li Su didn't say anything anymore, looked at her quietly, waiting for her to understand.

The room was very quiet, and there was only a faint sense of helplessness in the air, but Li Su couldn't feel any true feelings at all.

I don’t know how long it has been silent, but Wu suddenly spoke, his voice sad.

"Marty, after this winter, I am twenty years old... Is there any way out for a twenty-year-old woman who is abandoned by the palace and is left under someone else's roof all day long?"

Looking up at Li Su, Wu was already in tears: "I was selected into the Tai Chi Palace and was named a talented person by Your Majesty. Your Majesty attaches great importance to me and keeps me by his side to serve me. At that time, I was so energetic that I even thought that the position of queen was not far from me. However, once an imperial edict came from the sky, I was inexplicably shot into the cold palace of the Yeting Temple and almost killed by the snob in the palace. Until today, I don't understand what I did wrong, why did Your Majesty demote me to the cold palace, and my life has fallen from a short peak to the bottom and I can't turn over yet..."
