There is a lotus pond in the courtyard of Prince Chu's Mansion.

With the bursts of autumn, the lotus flowers have basically faded, leaving only lotus pods.

Li Kuanzheng happily picked a lotus pod, tasted the fresh lotus seeds, and felt the rare leisure time, but was interrupted by Lan He who came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, King Chu, your Majesty has urgently summoned you to the palace!"

"Lan He, the court meeting should have just ended not long ago, right? Did something happen at the court meeting?"

Li Kuan saw Lan He's hurried look and figured out that Li Shimin was looking for his own reasons.

"This..." Lan He was confused for a while, "The prince will know it when he goes to the palace. Anyway, your majesty is a little angry now."

have to!

Although Lan He didn't say anything specifically, there was a high probability of someone impeaching him at the court meeting.

It's been a while since anyone impeached me, and I'm not used to it.

Sure enough, people can't be too leisurely.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Li Kuan, along with Xue Li and Xi Junmai, followed Lan He out of the Wangfu Courtyard.

…

At the construction site of the Hanyuan Hall of the New Palace, Liu Qing always felt his eyelids jump.

Yang Yushi's performance yesterday was obviously not quite right. Although he had already reported this situation to the supervisor in the evening, he still felt a little uneasy.

These hollow blue bricks should really be fine, right?

Sometimes, you are afraid of whatever comes next.

Just as Liu Qing, with a worried look on his face, led everyone to build the wall, the east wall of Hanyuan Hall was almost completed, and a group of people also appeared at the construction site of Hanyuan Hall.

All the construction workers around the temple were working hard with their heads down.

No one is stupid.

No matter what these people are here for, they must be big shots.

"Prime Minister, have I lied or wronged a good person? These bricks are all here. You can take a look at them as you please."

Yang Benman stood next to Fang Xuanling, confident.

"Master Yan, what do you have to say?"

Fang Xuanling turned around and looked at Yan Liben and Xu Jingzong who were following him.

With such a big movement, the two of them naturally noticed something unusual and followed them. However, no one said anything before. Now that Fang Xuanling asked, Yan Liben was really confused.

Yan Liben: "Prime Minister, I don't understand what you mean?"

"Yan Liben, it is in vain that His Majesty appoints you as the master craftsman of the new palace. The blue bricks used in the construction of Hanyuan Palace are all hollow. Such cutting corners will not hurt your conscience? Do you dare to say that you did not know beforehand? I

Let me tell you, even if you deny it..."

"I know!"

Before Yang Benman could finish speaking, Yan Liben interrupted him.

"You know? How dare you say you know? Then how did you become a master craftsman? Do you think that this palace was not built for you to live in anyway, so you turned a blind eye? You are His Majesty

His ministers are not the lackeys of the King of Chu!"

When Yang Benman saw that Yan Liben actually admitted it, his arrogance became even more arrogant.

Yan Liben probably knew what the problem was at this time, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yang Yushi, I have my own judgment on the use of all materials in the construction of the new palace. Why are the blue bricks hollow? You didn't even understand the situation, so you just denied the efforts of His Highness the King of Chu and the Chu State.

In spite of His Royal Highness’s sincere filial piety, I very much suspect that you have an ulterior motive to undermine the overall prosperity of the construction of my new palace.”

With confidence in his heart, Yan Liben was not afraid of squirting at each other with Yang Benman.

I had asked Li Kuan the same question before. Now looking at Yang Benman's reaction from another perspective, it gave people a different kind of experience.

"Haha! What a joke, what a big joke." Yang Benman laughed angrily, "Jerry-making and using hollow blue bricks, is this actually a sign of sincerity and filial piety?"

Yan Liben looked at Yang Benman with a dead look on his face, "Whether the use of hollow bricks is cutting corners or not, it doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't matter what I say."

"What? Could it be that His Highness King Chu has the final say?"

Sometimes, Yang Benman got into a fight with Li Kuan without even knowing why.

Logically speaking, my understanding of Li Kuan is much deeper than that of the average person, and I know that he is not someone to be trifled with.

However, every time Li Kuan faced him, he would look away and act like he was indifferent, making it seem as if his proud position as censor could not bring any threat to him.

His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Wei have never treated me like this, right?

Therefore, once he had all the evidence, Yang Benman found that he was filled with excitement and was not afraid of Li Kuan's revenge at all.

As long as it's not direct physical destruction, what revenge do you fear?

Based on Yang Benman's understanding of Li Kuan, he knew that no matter how good he was, the other party would never kill him. On the contrary, he would even keep him around to set off his greatness.

It's like the relationship between His Majesty and Wei Zheng.

"Yang Yushi, let's discuss the matter as it is and don't get excited."

Fang Xuanling listened to the conversation between Yang Benman and Yan Liben and frowned.

"Hmph! His Highness the King of Chu's words don't count."

Yan Liben's answer made Fang Xuanling and Yang Benman stunned for a moment.

"Then who has the final say?" Yang Benman couldn't help but asked.

"It's the facts that have the final say!"

Yan Liben sneered, "Yang Yushi, His Highness the King of Chu once said something to me. I will give it to you. Listen clearly. I will only say it once."

Yan Liben's calm expression gave Yang Benman an illusion.

Is it you who is looking for trouble today, or is Yan Liben looking for trouble with him?

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth?" Fang Xuanling on the side savored these words. Looking at the performances of Yan Liben and Yang Benman, he felt that the use of hollow green bricks may not be what everyone takes for granted.

"Huh, no matter how nice it is, what's the use? Can it change the fact that corners are cut during the construction of the new palace?"

Yang Benman felt that he could not control Yan Liben's momentum, and he was very dissatisfied.

"Prime Minister, all important ministers of the imperial court, it is useless to say more. Since Yang Yushi thinks that the use of hollow bricks in the construction of the new palace is cutting corners, then we will waste some time to conduct an experiment."

Yan Liben immediately thought of how Li Kuan responded to his doubts, and followed suit.

"A test is a test. With so many eyes watching, I don't believe you can cheat again? I'm curious how you learned from His Highness the King of Chu and were able to make the dead look alive?"

Yang Benman was actually already beating a drum in his heart. Could it be that he had fallen into the hands of King Chu again this time, but the hollow bricks were a problem he had seen and discovered with his own eyes?

However, although he had doubts in his heart, Yang Benman was still very tough on his words.
