It is said that Li Cong is not only the owner of the Cao family business, but also the emperor's son-in-law. Of course, there are hundreds of emperor's sons-in-law in total, and this is from this generation. If the previous ones are included, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands.

Their status is now that of ordinary nobles. Do they want the Crown Prince to go out ten miles from the city to greet him? Don't be ridiculous. It is impossible for such a thing to happen. It is absolutely not allowed. Many people will treat people who think like this

Thinking that he was crazy, Li Cong saw that his little wife also missed this imperial city very much, so he took this opportunity to let her rest here for a while, and it could also leave a good memory for his daughter-in-law.

Yes, anyone with a sound mind would not bring the palace fight to her head.

The old emperor is now in his old age. Although there have been several crown princes before him, when those people were princes, the old emperor controlled everything very strictly and would not give them any rights at all.

So those people just have the title of Crown Prince and have no rights as Crown Prince at all. These guys are really frustrated to be the Crown Prince, but this time the Crown Prince is completely different. This guy is definitely very powerful.

He is powerful, as you can see from the compliments given to him by the ministers behind him. A prince with real power and a prince with an empty name are definitely not on the same level.

"Welcome sister and brother-in-law to the capital. I was too young when sister and brother-in-law came here the last few times. I have to entertain you well this time. The Princess Mansion and the Earl's Mansion have been repainted.

The people in the department are really good at getting things done. If I ask them to do a good job on my house, these guys will always have problems of one kind or another. But it's different here. It took these guys two days to finish the job.

"Brother-in-law, your reputation is incredible." The crown prince said with a smile. He did not ask Li Cong and the others to salute him, but first used family gifts to salute Li Cong and the little princess. After all, he was his brother-in-law.

"Haha, His Highness the Crown Prince is so polite. The officials from the Ministry of Industry are probably afraid that I will ask them for payment, don't you think so, Mr. Wu?" Li Cong smiled and said to Mr. Wu Tianming who was standing behind the Crown Prince.

, this guy is the Minister of the Imperial Ministry of Industry. Last year, the Imperial Ministry of Industry borrowed 3.5 billion taels of silver from the Cao Family Trading Bank for several huge projects. This money was supposed to be returned last month, but because

The imperial finance problem has not yet been repaid, and Li Cong did not press for it. Anyway, the imperial government will not default on its debts. They will pay back the money sooner or later. What happened to charging one more month of interest? It is normal.

.

"What Lord Cao said is exactly right. I am afraid that Lord Cao will come to Beijing this time to ask for my account. You see, I haven't slept all night since I got back. I was just waiting to greet him."

Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has some objections. I am dissatisfied with my actions. None of my colleagues can run as fast as me. I have to ask Sir Cao to give me some face and wait for a while.

"Wu Tianming is also very good at life. This guy is the confidant of His Royal Highness. He naturally knows what to say when and what to say. Now he said such words to make everyone laugh. This guy is really good at it.

When it comes to speaking, most people have to be careful when making such jokes, but this guy is very good at it. Even the young prince laughed. People around him are jealous of this old guy. He stays in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

It has been twenty years, so it seems that this guy will still have his place in the future. The loan matter is not that important in the first place. The Ministry of Industry cannot come up with the money recently. After a while, it will be no problem.

The old boy has good intentions.

"Haha, brother-in-law, there is nothing we can say about this matter. Mr. Wu has already mentioned this, so he must give you face." His Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile.

"Haha. I still have to listen to His Highness the Crown Prince's orders. Although I am an imperial earl, to be honest, I am just a businessman who makes a living. Of course, you have to give me this food. If you are not willing to let me eat it,

I have nothing to eat. I will give it to Master Wu whenever he is generous. We will still have long-term cooperation in the future." Li Cong said with a smile, and everyone could tell that he was trying to curry favor with the imperial court.

, not only His Highness the Crown Prince, but also other officials felt very comfortable. Other book friends were reading:. Such things were not common in the past. Such a powerful businessman actually said everything.

At this point, if we don't give others face, it is estimated that no businessmen will be willing to get closer to the imperial court in the future.

"Okay, let's not all stand at the door and talk. This is the gate of the city. Brother-in-law, are you ready to stay somewhere?" His Highness the Crown Prince said.

"You shouldn't ask me this. I can live anywhere, but your sister will definitely have her own ideas. Just let your sister make the choice. I think he just wants to live with you. I guess

You are also willing." This scene was really joyful. Many people were happy. It was really festive today. However, many old masters also looked down on Li Cong. Li Cong himself was a man and he listened so well.

As for my own wife, I am a bit henpecked.

However, the tone of Li Cong's words still made some old monks in the capital unhappy. These people mainly heard that they wanted to live with His Highness the Crown Prince. How could this be allowed? In fact, Li Cong was just joking, and many of them were

Everyone can hear it. In the eyes of these old and uncultivated people, these jokes cannot be made, otherwise they will have disrespectful meanings. I think only they can understand these meanings, and other people may not have that.

cell's.

Li Cong also noticed that His Highness the Crown Prince did not use the official title from the beginning to the end. They all used some titles at home. The titles in this family should not exist for these people. Don't think that His Highness the Crown Prince is like that.

An easy-going person. When this guy didn't hold the power, he must have thought and acted that way. At that time, everyone in the capital said that His Highness the Crown Prince had a very good temper, and he was very good at talking to people and doing things.

He has his own demeanor, but since this guy took over the power, it has become completely different. Many people have forgotten the original His Highness the Crown Prince. The current His Highness the Crown Prince has no such demeanor at all. The current His Highness the Crown Prince

If you meet a prince-in-law casually, they will definitely kneel down to welcome you. Not to mention those from Li Cong's generation, even those from the prince's aunt's generation have to do this. The first thing a country needs is majesty, prince.

He needs majesty just like the emperor. There are only two reasons why he called Li Cong that way. One is that Li Cong himself has that strength, and the other is that Li Cong has that strength. Refer to the first one.

Although this thing feels very false, it is normal for the Tian family to have no family ties. Li Cong also understands it very well. He does not really feel that this person is related to him. If there is a relationship,

, that is a relationship of mutual use. He must have his own reasons for treating himself so favorably. Li Cong also needs to use this in exchange for what he needs, which is to block the frozen forest, although the current prince does not have that much power.

, but the prince should be able to help Li Cong get such a thing done. Many people from top to bottom will help Li Cong. What Li Cong needs is such a platform, and the prince can provide it.

In the end, the little princess chose to live in the Earl's Mansion. This is not to say that the Earl's Mansion is much better than the Princess' Mansion. The most important thing is that the Earl's Mansion is the man's home. Although male dominance is more prevalent in this society, the princess belongs to the emperor.

Daughters or sisters, the princess's affairs are many times bigger than those of the consort, and after marrying the princess, he will live in the princess uniform. Such a consort can be said to be no different from his servants, and it will happen many times.

The prince-in-law regretted that he had come to do this. Being the emperor's son-in-law was not such a good thing. Underneath the well-dressed appearance were tears of his own, but the little princess knew Li Cong's thoughts very well, and of course she would not do what Li Cong did.

It’s an ugly thing. Many people used to say that Li Cong was afraid of his wife. Being afraid of his wife is a common problem among all princes-in-law. This thing cannot be cured. Now it seems that Li Cong definitely does not have that problem.

He disciplines his wife very well.

Li Cong probably only came to the Earl's Mansion in the capital once or twice, and most of the time it was guarded by these servants in the capital. Although Li Cong never lived here, people often came and went here. Li Cong was here

Some interpersonal exchanges in the capital go out from here. Although it is just an Earl's Palace, it is nothing in front of so many nobles in the capital, but many people know that this Earl's Palace is more powerful than some princes' palaces. So I came to give gifts.

There was also an endless stream of people, especially when they knew that Li Cong had just arrived in the capital. At this time, even more people came to join in the fun, but they wanted to meet Li Cong, but they were not qualified.

According to the tradition of the capital, Li Cong arrived in the capital today, and some welcome banquets and other things were being prepared in the capital. Naturally, they hoped to invite Li Cong, but according to the rules, nothing could be done on Li Cong's first day.

You have to enter the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor. This is the rule of the empire. It has been like this for many years. Of course, the Emperor is not likely to be seen by any count who returns. Most people

There is no such opportunity, and most people will be blocked there. The emperor is now older and does not want to care about these things anymore, but he definitely wants to see Li Cong.

Li Cong broke up with the little princess inside the palace gate, and the little princess took a carriage to the harem. The little princess came back to see her father, but not at this time.

Under the guidance of his two young father-in-laws, Li Cong prepared to go to the Qinzheng Palace to see the emperor. This was also the third time that Li Cong saw the emperor. Li Cong had contact with the emperors of both the Western Empire and the Northern Empire. If

If Li Cong is asked to make a choice, Li Cong feels that the emperor of the Northern Empire is better. The emperor of the Western Empire has a sinister feeling in his heart. Such things make Li Cong very uncomfortable, but he is sitting in the emperor's seat.

, you can’t do anything to others.

"The two father-in-laws are newcomers. Please take care of them in the future." Li Cong smiled and handed two fifty-tael gold ingots to the two young eunuchs.

The little eunuch has never seen money before, but this is the first time he sees such a person giving him so much money. The two of them have no status in the palace. They usually receive the money.

Although the eunuchs in the Palace of Qinzheng are the eunuchs of the Qinzheng Palace, they cannot see the emperor except when they are cleaning. Therefore, even if someone gives them a reward, it will only be two yuan at most.

Just a few gold melon seeds, only a few taels of silver at most. This is a lot of money for ordinary people. For them, this is the minimum reward. These fifty taels of gold are their net income for half a year.

Immediately, the two of them became very fond of this earl. Damn, the prince was not so generous in the past. In fact, those princes also had the money, but who didn’t have their own calculations in their hearts? Those princes must have

I think there is no need to give these two guys so much gold. It is really a waste.

"Your Majesty, you are so polite. Our brothers can't even keep up with an ant in this palace. His Majesty has basically stopped managing the government recently. Some things are done by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and some ministers. We will

There is even more nothing to do, but this is my first job. Dozens of nobles have returned to Beijing in the past few days, but none of them have been summoned by His Majesty." A young eunuch said with a smile.

There will be some news coming out from everyone, otherwise, wouldn't the fifty taels of gold be given to him in vain? Releasing news in a chat style like this is what people like them often do.

"That's right, Sir Alex is really young and promising. His Majesty often mentions Sir Alex. As for what he is talking about, we don't know. Sir Sir Alex must know it himself." Another guy said.

He said with a smile, he didn't know much about these things, but what he said broke more taboos than before. This also shows that this guy's art of speaking is not very high.

Li Cong also knew that these two guys were actually fledglings, so he told himself the news he wanted to know. It would have been impossible for some old birds to tell them. Those people were all shrewd.

Those people are very good at dividing the news into several sentences. It takes half an hour to get to Qinzheng Palace from here. Li Cong has to pay at least several times more money to get this news. Unexpectedly, these two

The boy told himself everything.

"Thank you both for showing me the way. I will use this little money to buy you two drinks." When they arrived at the place, Li Cong also kindly took out two ingots again, but now these two ingots were no longer gold.

It's silver, but it's still fifty taels. These two people are also very happy. They didn't expect that there would be rewards when they arrived. Such a thing was not just for them, it was for those in the palace.

Some senior eunuchs also said the same thing.

Although there are more people on this planet and the area is larger, the Qinzheng Palace is not much different from the imperial palace on Earth, because there are basically the same number of senior officials in the capital, but this

It’s just that there are more people around. It’s not early morning or high tide. Naturally, there are not so many officials staying here. There are only a dozen officials standing in front of Li Cong. They also

They all came to report something to the emperor, but they never thought that they could see the emperor. According to the previous rules, the emperor would take some documents and let them go to His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your Majesty has called, Sir, please come to the palace." After a while, a young eunuch came down and quickly ran to Li Cong and said. The others looked at Li Cong with doubtful eyes. The emperor was already

I haven't called anyone up for a long time. What's going on? Who is this young man? Why haven't I seen him before? Judging from his rank and attire, he is just an earl. When can an earl be like this?

To save face? This is simply against the rules. Many people are whispering to each other, but no one can know Li Cong’s identity. It is because Li Cong has too few activities in the capital, and when he comes, he is looking for
