Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

While Su Yu was training Princess Wuji in Sujiazhuang, Li Shimin quietly went back to the palace.

Two years ago, Li Shimin said that he would retreat.

At that time, Zhongshu ordered Fang Xuanling to know that Li Shimin was going to Yangzhou.

But Li Xiaogong was kept in the dark.

After Li Shimin left, the government affairs of the court were presided over by the two of them, and all the ministers discussed.

But Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui didn't go to court, the ministers naturally felt strange.

Fang Xuanling said that the two of them were protecting Li Shimin in the harem.

This statement was unbelievable, and the ministers didn't believe it, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Because Li Shimin has repeatedly pretended to be compared, they are afraid that they are a trap.

Back at the palace, Eunuch Gao saw Li Shimin and the queen, and happily bowed to him: "Your Majesty, empress, I have been thinking about it all the time."

Tears came out.

This Eunuch Gao's acting skills are really good, and he came as soon as he said it with tears in his eyes.

"Well, you should be happy to see me."

"Go and deliver the decree and ask Zhongshu Ling to enter the palace to give advice."

Li Shimin laughed.

Eunuch Gao immediately went to deliver the decree.

Li Shimin changed his clothes and put on the dragon robe again.

The summer in Chang'an City is cooler and less humid than Yangzhou.

"The concubine is going back to the Lizheng Palace first."

said the Queen.

"Go ahead."

Li Shimin nodded.

Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng didn't go home.

Li Shimin thought that the two of them had no money and dared not go home.

Li Shimin didn't know about Su Yu giving money just now.

"Aren't you two leaving yet? Waiting for a feast from me?"

Li Shimin said coldly.

What Li Shimin thought was: Why should I return the money I won by luck.

"Wei Chen retire."

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui retreated.

Not only were the two not sad, they were even a little happy.

Li Shimin felt strange, these two guys are not afraid of being scolded when they go home?
Especially for Wei Zheng, the washboard has been put away.

"Strange thing."

Li Shimin muttered.

After a while, Fang Xuanling hurried into the imperial study.

"My minister pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor."

Fang Xuanling bowed happily.

Li Shimin finally came back, he has been busy these two years.

"Mr. Xing has worked hard. You have handled the government affairs for the past two years. I will reward you a lot."

Li Shimin laughed.

At the beginning, it was said that Fang Xuanling and Li Xiaogong were in charge of the government together, but in fact it was Fang Xuanling who was being dealt with.

Li Xiaogong is only the king of Hejian, the royal family members are suppressing other courtiers.

"As entrusted by the emperor, the humble minister will never refuse to die."

Fang Xuanling paid homage.

The rock candy from Yangzhou City was sold to Chang'an City, and this kind of thing suddenly appeared. Fang Xuanling guessed that it was Su Yu who made it in Yangzhou City.

Such a good thing, can make a lot of money.

The emperor must have shares and must have made a lot of money.

So the rewards must be many.

"Take it, 100 million guan, all as your overtime pay."

Li Shimin shot very generously.

Fang Xuanling was stunned, and said happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Oh, the emperor is more arrogant than Mr. Su."

Li Shimin said this very well.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it stands to reason that he should be compared with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors Yao and Shun.

But compared with Su Yu, it feels more fulfilling.

"I asked you to come in, there are a few things."

"The first is that I'm back. You go and tell the courtiers that I'm out of customs and will go to court tomorrow morning."

"Second, Ding Feng, governor of Xuanhuai'an, Zhao Mu, governor of Yangzhou, and Xu Chang, a guerrilla general in Yangzhou, entered the court."

"Also, Yu Shinan, Secretary Xuan's supervisor, came in."

Li Shimin ordered several things in a row.

Fang Xuanling probably guessed it.

"Your Majesty, Ding Feng, the governor of Huai'an, still has more than a dozen memorials."

Fang Xuanling said.

At that time, Su Yu and Li Shimin killed Zhu Shi in Huai'an and became the county magistrate.

Ding Feng didn't dare to offend, so he kept writing, and these memorials are still under pressure.

"Hmph, don't look at it, it's all burned."

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

Fang Xuanling withdrew from the imperial study.

Half an hour later, Secretary Supervisor Yu Shinan came in.

"Long live my humble minister, my emperor."

Yu Shinan kowtowed to the ground, trembling.

"Secretary Jian Pingshen, why are you here, get up and speak."

Li Shimin smiled slightly.

What happened in Jiangdong was so big, how could Yu Shinan, as the Yu family of Kuaiji, not know.

He inquired about it in many ways, and guessed that Li Shimin was doing something in Jiangdong.

Of the twelve Jiangdong clans, only the Yu clan in Kuaiji remained.

"The humble minister is guilty."

Yu Shinan trembled.

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "No, you are not guilty, you have merit."

"You have distributed the family land to the common people, which is an awe-inspiring righteousness, and I will reward you."

After Yu Shinan knew that the Jiangdong Hao clan was destroyed, he wrote a handwritten letter to the patriarch, telling them to distribute the family property to the people.

If not, there will be a catastrophe of extermination.

The patriarch is not a fool, so he divided up the family property when he saw it.

"Wei Chen is ashamed."

Yu Shinan pays homage.

He secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, the emperor is not in the palace, he is doing things in Yangzhou, Jiangdong.

Fortunately, I am shrewd and cut off my arm early, otherwise my head will be lost.

"Yu Shinan accepts the order."

Li Shimin said.

"Wei Chen accepts the order."

Yu Shinan bowed to the ground.

"I will make you the Duke of Wu, and your salary will be increased."

Li Shimin said.

"My humble minister thank the emperor for his great kindness."

Yu Shinan was overjoyed.

With such a gift, the family is stable.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, I have an imperial decree for you."

Li Shimin laughed.

"Thank you, my minister, and I will leave."

Yu Shinan withdrew from the imperial study.

It is said that Fang Xuanling left Chengtianmen, holding a check for 100 million, and was very happy.

The emperor is now rich and powerful, and his hand is 100 million.

This reward is more than a year's salary, and two years of hard work are worth it.

As soon as he came out, he met Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui talking and laughing.

"Hey, you two haven't come home yet?"

Fang Xuanling asked.

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "Xuanling, we're going to buy something to go back."

Fang Xuanling asked: "You came from Yangzhou, didn't you bring anything?"

How come you don’t bring local specialties with you on a long trip?
Wei Zheng chuckled and said, "Xuanling doesn't know something. We lost to the emperor in Yangzhou City, and we got paid for three years."

Fang Xuanling was shocked, and then sympathized.

"Xuanling, Keming, I sympathize with you and express my deep sympathy."

"Three years salary, how will you live in the future?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with."

Fang Xuanling shook his head and sighed.

Wei Zheng laughed and said, "Brother Xuanling, can you lend us some money to deal with it?"

This is just a joke.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling took it seriously.

"Oh, it just so happens that the emperor gave me 100 million guan after I worked hard in the palace for two years."

"I'll split it up between two people."

Fang Xuanling took out a 100 million check.

To be honest, Fang Xuanling meant to show off.

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling in shock.

The shocked eyes of the two of them made Fang Xuanling feel very refreshed.

Complacent in my heart: Envy me, the emperor rewarded me with 100 million guan, I have never seen so much money.

Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly became sympathetic, and he comforted: "Xuan Ling, it's really hard to work hard for you for two years."

"I'm ashamed that we ate and drank rice with Su Yu in Yangzhou, and finally returned to Chang'an City. He gave us 300 million guan."

Wei Zheng saw Fang Xuanling's intention of showing off.

So face-to-face ruthless counter-kill.

Du Ruhui sighed and said, "Yes, Xuanling, I'm ashamed that we didn't do anything in Yangzhou City, and in the end we got 300 million guan for nothing."

As they said that, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng took out a check for 300 million at the same time and shook it a few times.

The reward in Fang Xuanling's hand suddenly became stale.

What the hell, I worked so hard in the court, and finally only got 100 million guan.

The two of you ate and drank with Su Yu, and you still had 300 million pocket money in the end?

Fang Xuanling was furious.

Sure enough, following the boss is the most important thing.

Following Li Shimin, the boss, is so exhausting, the emperor is too pitiful.

Follow Su Yu, do nothing, double your income, what a mess.

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui took the check and sighed, "Brother Xuanling, I want to make some money."

The two turned around and went home proudly.

Fang Xuanling was left yelling, what the hell.
