However, unexpectedly,
When she saw the poem with her own eyes,
The shock I felt was stronger than anyone else's.
"I heard that the Crown Prince of Qing is only sixteen years old!"
"So young, yet so talented!!!"
"The Qing Kingdom not only boasts formidable military capabilities, but its cultural heritage is also quite remarkable!"
"That's truly terrifying!"
"With such a formidable enemy, Northern Qi is in grave danger!"
Si Lili, as a spy for Northern Qi,
The purpose of coming to the capital of Qing Kingdom was to better gather intelligence.
But now,
She saw this situation as soon as she arrived.
Suddenly, I felt immense pressure on my shoulders.
"Hey, Lili, you've just arrived, don't be impatient."
At this time,
The madam, Siwei, walked over.
Even the strongest wall will eventually have an ant hole.
"No matter how powerful the Qing Kingdom is, if we can obtain crucial intelligence and send it back, they will still be able to..."
Si Lili nodded.
"You've just arrived, so take a rest for the next few days."
"After a while, we'll put you in the newspaper, promote you, and make your name known."
"When those princes and nobles arrive, they will be completely captivated by you."
"The intelligence is coming in non-stop!"
Si Lili smiled gently.
A beautiful face,
Her lips were slightly parted, revealing her charming and graceful demeanor.
I heard this newspaper is very popular.
It was also caused by that crown prince.
I really want to see what this prince looks like, and who he is!
Unfortunately,
Her identity as a courtesan in a brothel
Meeting ordinary high-ranking officials and dignitaries is fine.
It seems very difficult to see the Crown Prince!
After all, he was the crown prince of a country.
Stepping into a brothel
It wouldn't sound good if word got out.
The next day,
Li Chengqian took You Lian to the postal route management office.
At the entrance of the government office,
All officials had received the notification well in advance.
I was waiting here in advance.
Although the postal route commander was their superior,
There's no need to make them all wait here.
But what if the postal route commander's other identity was the crown prince?
Then the meaning is completely different.
Moreover, the Second Prince, Li Chengze, had arrived here a step earlier.
I waited with them at the door.
Upon seeing the Crown Prince arrive,
All the officials knelt down and said, "Your subject pays respects to the Crown Prince."
The same goes for Li Chengze.
He said respectfully, "Welcome, Your Highness."
Li Chengqian ignored the officials.
He walked over to Li Chengze in a few steps and helped him up.
"Second brother arrived quite early."
"The Crown Prince instructed me that I dare not be late."
The crowd found it strange.
When did the Second Prince become so respectful to the Crown Prince?
Waiting for the Crown Prince and the Second Prince,
After entering the yamen and taking their seats,
The officials kneeling at the gate,
They all got up and followed them inside.
quickly
In the lobby,
Thirty or forty officials stood densely packed together.
Seeing this scene,
Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head.
The entire postal route system doesn't have much business throughout the year.
That's why we need to support so many officials.
and,
The current staff are only in charge of Kyoto Road.
Only officials of a certain rank would come here.
The Qing Kingdom has a total of seven routes.
Not to mention, besides these high-ranking officials,
There are also countless incompetent officials.
The reason Emperor Qing agreed to let him reform the postal system was because...
Perhaps they felt a little heartache.
The reason why so much money has been wasted over the years.
At this time,
You Lian walked over carrying more than a dozen files.
It was placed in front of Li Chengqian.
After Li Chengqian opened it
He casually read aloud, "Zhang Danfeng, I heard that Lu Yuan, the current Vice Minister of Rites, is your brother-in-law?"
Down the hall,
The person standing at the front was around thirty years old.
A pot-bellied man
He knelt down on the ground with a thud and said:
"I am terrified."
Li Chengqian ignored him and continued reading through the case files one by one.
"Yuan Jia, is Cao Renqi your uncle?"
Every time I think of someone,
There's always someone who can't handle the pressure.
Kneeled on the ground.
To the end,
Inside the main hall of the government office, not a single person was still standing.
Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Hmph, they're all relatives."
He casually swept the files aside, his smile fading.
"You, you, you and you."
Li Chengqian randomly pointed to a few people.
"You few stay here. The rest of you don't need to come back!"
The voice fell.
