Chapter 235 [The thoughts of the old foxes! 】
"That... I'm afraid it's a bit bad for me to hold such an important position not long after I came to Beijing?" Lei Dong asked hesitantly as if he was humble.
"Well... what you said is right! OK... I'll go to my father now and tell him that you have no confidence in yourself and want to stay in the palace." As he said that, Princess Minyi stood up and stood up, looking like she wanted to leave...
Seeing this, Lei Dong's face twitched slightly and immediately smiled dryly: "Hey... Princess, why are you anxious? It's rare that the prince looks down on Lei so much. How can Lei live up to the prince's expectations? Besides, although Lei doesn't have much confidence in other positions, Lei is still quite confident in the position of the head of the Treasury Department! After all, Lei once worked as a manager in the inner treasury of the royal palace for a period of time and is still very experienced in the management of the warehouse..."
Seeing Lei Dong bragging with shameless face, Princess Minyi's belly was almost bursting with laughter.
When Lei Dong came to the capital, he was anxious to reach out to Princess Minyi for an official position. After thinking about this, how could Princess Minyi not see through Lei Dong's intention to take a handful? So, Princess Minyi didn't even think about it, so she went down and deliberately took Lei Dong's army.
Of course, although her belly was about to burst into laughter, on the surface, Princess Minyi still pretended to be very focused and listened carefully. Princess Minyi was naturally extremely proud of being able to make Lei Dong suffer once. However, when she thought of her father's advice, Princess Minyi did not dare to let Lei Dong get out of Taiwan.
After all, Lei Dong is no longer the same as before. Even without the recommendation of King Wuding, he will definitely be valued by Emperor Zhengyuan. Moreover, the most important thing is that with Lei Dong's shamelessness, even if Princess Minyi wants to make fun of Lei Dong, she may not be able to get anything good.
Princess Minyi is a smart person, and she knows the principle of stopping when she sees it. Therefore, after a smile, she followed Lei Dong's words and nodded slightly and said, "Okay... Since you are so confident in the position of the Treasury Director, I will talk to my father. Let's see if you can help you get it."
"Haha... Then Princess Lao. To be honest, I am really interested in the position of the Treasury Department."
Although he was slapping his mouth, in fact, Lei Dong felt a little depressed. He thought that he would be a rare defeat. Princess Minyi would definitely chase and beat him hard, so he made fun of him. But what he didn't expect was that Princess Minyi turned the subject slightly and didn't follow the routine he designed! This made him swallow all the counterattack words he had just thought back.
This little girl seems to have obvious skill in her mouth!
Just as Lei Dong was secretly complaining, Princess Minyi suddenly smiled, half teasing, and half reminded: "There is one thing you have to pay attention to. If you really become the head of the Treasury Department, you must make some achievements! Otherwise, not only will others look down on you, but even my father's face will be bad. After all, you are the person he personally recommended!"
"Haha... Don't worry about this. Since you are in the position, you have to do your own thing. I will never embarrass the prince!" Lei Dong nodded with a smile.
"Okay... Then you go back first, and then I will go to my father to talk about this."
...
Princess Minyi did not lie to Lei Dong. As soon as Lei Dong left the attic, she hurriedly walked towards her father's room.
In the past few days, the court has been in a state of excitement because of the enthronement of the crown prince. In order to avoid suspicion, King Wuding hid in the palace and refused to see guests at other times in order to avoid suspicion.
Of course, although King Wuding acted as if he refused to see guests, in fact, through his spies, the information from all over the capital was constantly gathering towards him.
When Princess Minyi walked into the father's room, King Wuding was looking down at the information he had just passed. He looked up and saw that it was his good daughter. King Wuding smiled, put down the information in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Good daughter... Is there anything wrong with looking for the father?"
Princess Minyi knew that as soon as Lei Dong returned to the palace, she must have been called by her father, so she did not keep it from her father's mind. As soon as King Wuding finished speaking, she smiled and nodded, "It's true that something happened. Lei Dong just came back, and I... have already told him all the meaning of his father."
"Oh...what did he say?" King Wuding asked with a smile while lowering his head and drinking tea.
Princess Minyi smiled slightly: "What else can I say? Just like what my father thought, that guy really took a fancy to the position of the head of the Treasury Department!"
"Haha..." King Wuding laughed twice, nodded repeatedly and said, "Not bad... really good!"
Seeing that his father was so happy, Princess Minyi couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "Father, aren't you afraid that he will toss all the alchemy materials in the national treasury?"
"Haha... If he really has that ability, even if he has to make all the troubles, what's the matter? Anyway, this is what your emperor's grandfather meant! Moreover, the alchemy materials in the national treasury have been stacked for many years, and they are still there. It would be better to let this little guy Lei Dong make a fuss! Besides, the truly valuable rare alchemy materials have long been transferred to the palace treasury. Even if he wants to make these rare alchemy materials, he can't find them!"
Speaking of which, it is not a big deal that King Wu Ding was so happy. In fact, the moment Lei Dong took out the recipe for True Essence Pills, the old foxes, including Emperor Zhengyuan, had already guessed that Lei Dong must have more than the recipe for True Essence Pills in his hands.
However, these old foxes were all smart. When they heard Princess Minyi say that this true marrow pill must be refined by an alchemist with pure fire spirit roots, they immediately gave up some bad thoughts in their hearts.
The level of evil that Lei Dong showed during this period is definitely not comparable to his peers. These old foxes believe that with Lei Dong's IQ, they will never deceive people in such matters, because if Lei Dong said it was what Lei Dong said, just ask other alchemists to test it a few more times, they can tell.
The next development also proves the judgment of these old foxes. After several alchemists' experiments, the results prove that Lei Dong is right. This true marrow pill is definitely not something that ordinary alchemists can refine.
After learning about this result from his own alchemist, these old foxes attached more importance to Lei Dong.
There is no way, they are all big and wealthy. I don’t know how many younger generations in the family are waiting to take the true marrow pill refined by Lei Dong! Moreover, let alone these younger generations. Even these old foxes themselves are taking the true marrow pill! In this case, they naturally need to reserve more true marrow pills. After all, no one hates too many magical elixirs like the true marrow pill!
Since they knew that Lei Dong might have other recipes for Zhan Tianshi's pills in his hand, these old foxes naturally had to find ways to make Lei Dong refine other magical pills. So, as soon as they solved the matter of Chunqiu Pavilion, they all reminded King Wuding with words.
With King Wuding's IQ, even if these old foxes did not secretly remind him, he had already guessed that there were probably other recipes for Zhan Tianshi in Lei Dong's hands. However, with the secret reminder of these old foxes, especially with Emperor Zhengyuan, King Wuding completely dispelled his concerns.
It has to be said that King Wuding still has a good grasp of human nature. In order to test whether Lei Dong has other recipes of Zhan Tianshi, he deliberately listed more than a dozen relatively leisurely but important positions, allowing Lei Dong to choose them himself. As a result, Lei Dong really chose the position of the head of the Treasury Department. In this way, King Wuding is basically sure that Lei Dong does have other recipes of Zhan Tianshi!
Of course, no matter how excited he was, King Wuding did not forget to remind his precious daughter.
He smiled. Before Princess Minyi left, King Wuding reminded: "Good daughter, when you go to see Lei Dong later, you might as well give him a little hint and tell him. As long as you can provide the court with enough true elixirs or pills of similar level as true elixirs, you can take the opportunity to make a request to the court and select the materials suitable for alchemy in the treasury for exchange."
Princess Minyi is also a smart person. When she heard what her father said, she understood what it meant.
After chuckling, she shook her head and sighed: "Now, the alchemy materials in the national treasury will be in trouble! With my understanding of that guy Lei Dong, he will never be polite!"
"Haha... You're welcome! Dali Country is so big, and I don't know how many alchemy materials it has to be paid every year. Even if he consumes it day and night, how much can it consume?"
Amid the laughter of King Wuding, Princess Minyi walked out of her father's room with light steps and walked directly to the house where Lei Dong lived.
When Princess Minyi found Lei Dong, Lei Dong had just washed her body and was about to go to bed and go back to bed. However, when she saw that the person coming was Princess Minyi, Lei Dong still yawned and gave Princess Minyi to her living room.
After both sides sat down, Lei Dong asked with a smile: "The princess is so anxious to come over. It seems that there must be news?"
It was probably because he saw the fatigue in Lei Dong's expression. Princess Minyi did not keep it in hiding, and directly told her father's meaning.
Of course, after talking about his father's meaning, Princess Minyi did not forget her hint to Lei Dong.
Who is Lei Dong? Even without Princess Minyi's hint, he would definitely not let go of the alchemy materials he liked for in vain!
In this case, when he heard Princess Minyi's hint, he almost jumped up excitedly. You know, just when he was taking a shower, he was still thinking about how to embezzle the alchemy materials in the treasury without missing traces? Now, as soon as he was dozing off, someone else sent the pillow over.
Now, he didn't have to worry about embezzling, because he could just openly consume the alchemy materials in the national treasury. Anyway, the materials needed for alchemy were the final decisions. At that time, as long as he could hand over the elixir to the court on time, he would be able to embezzle any alchemy materials.
