Don't be a prince

Li Shimin was also shocked, because besides being surprised, he also discovered something that the prince didn't mention - the bank!Naturally, the coins in the bank cannot be exchanged in equal weight, and can only be exchanged one to one.In this way, those who keep their money in the bank will avoid disaster.After this incident, those who were not interested in the bank at first will also have a good impression of the bank, and it will also promote the development of the bank.

Good boy!Even he had never considered this conspiracy against the whole world.Moreover, this was something the prince thought of when he left Beijing three years ago.Those who achieve great things should not be limited by the long-term.The current crown prince actually gave him a sense of awe.This can't work, how can there be a son who is better than Lao Tzu, isn't this a copy of the Wude period?if....

Thinking of this, Li Shimin shook his head, and choked out his thoughts.Now only the prince is qualified to inherit the throne. With the passage of time, Li Ke has no supporters, and Qing Que has no heart for the throne.Without competition, based on what I know about this son, there is a high probability that he will not do such unfilial things.

In this way, doesn't it mean that I have to ensure that this bastard can successfully inherit the throne?

He couldn't help but glanced at Li Zhi who was playing in the distance, and a feeling of aggrieved came to Li Shimin's heart spontaneously.He even had a little understanding of what kind of mood his father Li Yuan was in back then.

Let's pretend to be confused!

Chapter 417 Li Yuan's Current Situation

I opened my mouth several times, and several times I didn't know what to say.As a relative of the emperor, the eldest brother-in-law and old friend of the current emperor, and the elder brother of the current empress, the eldest grandson Wuji's family business has been like an inflated balloon since the emperor succeeded to the throne.Just like what Li Chengqian said, the bigger the family property, the bigger the loss.It is roughly estimated that this time, his family property may have shrunk by as much as [-]%.[-]%!For a family that has already begun to take shape, [-]% is absolutely traumatic.

Seeing Changsun Wuji's words falling to his lips but choking back several times, Li Shimin smiled slightly. He is now sure that as long as this matter is revealed, then those bastards in the court who are putting on airs will cry and cry. Build him a palace.After all, although the cost of building a palace is high, it is still a lot worse than the [-]% of each person's family property.

With a smile, Li Shimin stretched out his hand and patted Changsun Wuji's shoulder: "Auxiliary machine, put aside your status as a monarch and minister, we are a family, how can we do something like this to you? Well, when the time comes, I will order someone to come to you It’s also one to one, how about it?”

how?Not so.

Changsun Wuji smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty's favor is taken by the minister, but once all the civil and military officials are cheated, it is not a big deal for the minister to be alone. You should cheat the minister together. The minister is also a good man."

In the face of not causing public anger and [-]% of the family property, Changsun Wuji still chose the former.You can still earn money once you lose it, but if your image as a person is ruined, it doesn't matter how much money you have.

Seeing that the emperor was obviously in favor of Changsun Wuji, Li Chengqian knew that his uncle and holy family would not decline.

Taking the silver coins from the emperor, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Actually, uncle still has a way to avoid the loss this time. Just exchange all the copper coins at home with silver and gold. The first stage is to exchange copper coins, which also involves If you don’t have gold and silver, you will definitely not be able to do this when gold and silver also start to be exchanged. Now the market price of a tael of silver is similar to that of consistent money, representing a silver coin of a thousand copper coins, and the value of one coin is one tael of silver. At that time, the exchange between silver coins and silver must be exchanged at equal value.

That's why I said this robbery was a one-shot deal.As long as the uncle exchanges as much silver as possible, he can reduce the loss.As for public outrage, it’s actually very simple. All the ministers in the court must be curious about why you did this. You might as well make things public. Those who follow will naturally pick them up. Those who don’t follow are purely stupid. No one would dare Take this as an argument. "

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji clapped his hands again and again: "This is good, this is good. How about it, Chengqian, I heard that your concubine is pregnant with a child, and there is nothing to give him as an uncle, so why don't you give it to the eldest grandson's family in the eastern suburbs?" How about giving him a piece of land?"

"This... nephew will replace the baby, but it's disrespectful!"

After all, it was for Changsun Wuji's advice, Li Chengqian felt that there was nothing wrong with charging a little advice fee.Changsun's family has a large piece of land in the eastern suburbs. Although it looks useless from now on, with the development of Chang'an and Luoyang, it will definitely be stuck in the traffic arteries, and every inch of land is worthless.

Seeing that both his uncle and his son were happy, Li Shimin couldn't help but frowned, and sat down on the seat of eldest grandson Wuji and knocked on the table: "Don't be in a hurry, there are so many things, we still have to sort them out before we talk about it." Others. Prince, tell me, should we attack the Wa country first, or mine copper mines first? You must lay a solid foundation for your robbery plan, and then start! In this way, I don’t know when the palace will be built.”

Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji put away their smiles and sat down again.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Chengqian said: "Copper mining is the first. There is no doubt about it. For the places on the map, the places closest to Chang'an should be mined first. In addition, the bank has actually collected a large number of copper mines. Folk wealth, the warehouse of the Ministry of Households, I am afraid that there is no shortage of copper coins. If so, then use these to cast copper coins first. , even if it is to seek a little welfare for us first.

There is no rush for the affairs of the Wa Kingdom. The "invincibility" of the three invincible warships is reflected in the offshore seas, and they are not so invincible when fighting in the open seas.Therefore, it is still necessary to rely on medium-sized warships.Now Dengzhou Shipyard has just completed the arming of various coastal state capitals, and has not yet expanded the East China Sea Fleet.If you want to attack the Wa country, you have to wait for them to build enough ships.According to my estimation, it takes almost three months to mine copper mines and smelt finished products. Taking Taiyuan Copper Mine as an example, it takes another two months for the household department to hoard a large amount of copper coins and achieve certain results.In this way, the time has come to May of the 13th year of Zhenguan, and it is just time to start the action.In this way, the construction of the palace can also be put on the agenda. "

After listening to Li Chengqian's narration, Li Shimin said: "This is just the speed you expected. Don't forget, it's winter now. How fast can you open mines in winter?"

Li Chengqian couldn't laugh or cry: "Father, you forgot gunpowder? This is not a simple murderer. It is indeed powerful when used to kill people. However, it can also benefit the world when used to mine and open mountains!"

Changsun Wuji rejoiced and said: "If there is gunpowder, then His Royal Highness's idea is not a fantasy. Your Majesty, the Ministry of Accounting still has a lot of savings, why don't you start doing it right away!"

Li Shimin frowned, stared at Changsun Wuji's face and said, "Didn't you tell me that the Ministry of Households is already poor? Why is there a surplus now?"

"This...hehehe."

Speechless, Changsun Wuji could only respond with an awkward smile.

Not in the mood to get entangled in this matter, Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "Since that's the case, just do as the prince said."

After waving his hand to signal Changsun Wuji to get out of here quickly, Li Shimin saw Li Chengqian again with a burning gaze.

I started planning three years ago!

If you don't move, you will do your own thing, and if you move, you will plan for the whole world. You really have the qualifications to be a monarch.Only now did he realize how ridiculous it was that he had expected the prince to "be a good and successful king".

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and patted Li Chengqian's shoulder, feeling Li Chengqian's firm muscles, couldn't help but smiled slightly: "You can take the initiative to share the worries of the father, the father is very pleased. But, next time something like this easily provokes public anger, It is better to discuss it with me first. You are only a prince, and you can't bear too much resentment. This time, I will take care of it for you. Before dealing with government affairs, go to your grandfather's place to have a look. That letter is indeed He dictated it, but he wasn't the one who wrote it."

Li Chengqian nodded, stood up and saluted, then turned and left.

There are a few words in the emperor's sentence that he pays special attention to. "Active", "Unbearable"....

Watching the prince leave, Li Shimin waved to the side.

Without Shangguanyi's supervision, Li Zhi finally relaxed a lot, but seeing his father's call, he still walked over respectfully and saluted respectfully.

He also patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, and Li Shimin said with emotion: "You have a good brother. If your brother successfully succeeds, you, Qingque and others can spend your life safely. I can see that you are very happy." I hate Shangguanyi, so I allow you to hide your identity and go to Zhenguan Academy to study, what do you think?"

Li Zhi was overjoyed, and quickly agreed: "Father, my son is willing to go!"

Li Shimin nodded and stretched before getting up to leave.

I can't go to the Queen's place, and the Ganlu Palace is too cold, so I'd better go to Concubine Yang's.

On the other side, Li Chengqian, who walked out of the palace gate, already guessed what the emperor was thinking.Master Qiang Shengzu is indeed the idea of ​​every emperor, and he also hopes that his heir is smart enough.But, a creature like the emperor is the most suspicious, so suspicious that even his own son is suspicious.Originally, he thought it would be good for his son to pass the exam, but when his son got full marks in the exam, instead of cheering, he worried about whether his status would be affected.

Throughout the history of the Central Plains, how many emperors have been in power until their death?How many are Zen seats?The throne, I want to sit on it until I die, I don't know what kind of mentality it is.

After shaking his head and mockingly smiling, Li Chengqian called the East Palace's carriage, got on the carriage and drove towards Da'an Palace.

The current Li Yuan is more at ease than the emperor, he doesn't need to worry about state affairs, he only needs to focus on having fun.

He should have died in the ninth year of Zhenguan, because he had more fun in his life, instead of simply drinking and looking for women, he has lived until now.

The defense of Da'an Palace is still strict, but it no longer has the taste of painting the ground as a prison.The current Li Yuan, if he wanted, could even play outside Chang'an City. Although he would still be "politely" invited back to Da'an Palace by the people around him at night, it was much better than living in one place before.

Just as he was about to get off the carriage, an eunuch hurried over, walked to the side of the carriage and said respectfully, "The Supreme Emperor has ordered that from now on, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visits, you can take the carriage until the front of the hall."

Take a carriage until the front of the hall?

It was hard for Li Chengqian to imagine that this order was actually given by Li Yuan.

Since people said, just do it, so Li Chengqian went back to the carriage and didn't get off until the carriage reached the front of the hall.

Compared with the early days of Zhenguan, many of the maids in Da'an Palace are no longer young and beautiful women, and they can vaguely guess that they are the original batch.It seems that Li Yuan doesn't have much thought of having fun now. After all, he is getting old, and if he messes around like before, he really wants to die.

Entering the main hall, Li Chengqian smelled the aroma of wine, and Li Yuan was not the only one in front of the huge round table.

Changle and Tang Shanshi?

After clearly recognizing the two people sitting beside Li Yuan, Li Chengqian's eyes widened.

Seeing Brother Huang, Chang Le immediately pouted, stood up aggressively, and strode up to Li Chengqian without saying anything.

Stretching out his hand to pinch Changle's face, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "The little girl has grown into a beautiful woman, but what do you mean by pouting? Why, seeing Brother Huang is unhappy?"

Changle snorted coquettishly, pinched Li Chengqian's face with his backhand and said, "Bad emperor brother, did you promise me that when I got married, you would give me a set of gold jewelry, two BMWs, and a golden crown?" The sandalwood sedan chair, and many more, even my sister-in-law promised me a lot of things. The result? On the day of my wedding, you gave me a pair of broken jade. Hmph, I met you today, you have to give me a statement!"

Big wedding?

Looking at Tang Shanzhi with an embarrassed expression on the other side, Li Chengqian immediately understood what was going on.

Good guy, it turned out that the two of them were married during the time when I fled Chang'an.He must have been in Lingnan at the time, and it was a wedding gift from the East Palace on its own initiative.

With a trace of guilt in his heart, Li Chengqian held the two hands that were pinching his face with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang has indeed broken his promise in this matter, but isn't Brother Huang back now? Those things that I promised you back then, I will definitely cash it out for you right away. Besides, as an apology, my brother will take you to the treasure house of the East Palace, and you can take whatever you like, okay?"

For Changle, Li Chengqian is also grateful besides his family affection.After all, it was thanks to Chang Le that he met Su Yuan first when he was unmarried.

"His Royal Highness, this is not right, Changle, if you don't let go, how can anyone pinch His Highness's face casually? How decent!"

Before Chang Le could speak, Tang Shanshi who was behind her finally couldn't bear it and spoke.

Hearing Tang Shanzhi's words, Li Chengqian frowned immediately.

Chang Le was even more straightforward, turning around and said: "Go aside, we brothers and sisters are talking, don't interrupt!"

"This...."

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Tang Shanshi could only turn his head helplessly.

"Then it's settled, this time there will be Grandpa Huang to testify!"

After getting Li Chengqian's promise, Changle let go of his hand and hugged Li Chengqian's arm with a smile.

Don't look at Changle being so spoiled, but Li Chengqian knows very well that although this girl has such a temperament, she is still relatively delicate to the people around her.It can be seen from the fact that Tang Shanzhi was reprimanded, but he didn't get angry.What's more, after Changle got married, he didn't return to the princess mansion, but moved directly to Tang Jian's house according to Li Chengqian's previous instructions, and forced Tang Jian and his wife to greet their daughter-in-law instead.Now Tang Jian boasted to everyone that he didn't know how many lifetimes of blessings he had accumulated. Not only was he married by the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, but the princess was so filial.

This is very good, although "Shang" is more like a son-in-law marrying a princess after studying it, but getting married is beyond doubt.It is better to lower your figure than to marry into your husband's family from a high position and become the "overlord", so that you can not only gain the respect of your husband's family, but also gain the praise of the world.

Glancing at Tang Shanzhi, Li Chengqian couldn't help snorting softly: "Boy, Gu promised Changle at the beginning that no matter who marries her in the future, if he dares to bully her, Gu will definitely break his leg. If you dare I'm sorry Changle, hehe, your father won't be able to stop Gu at that time!"

Tang Shanzhi smiled wryly, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, even if you don't do anything by then, my lord father will definitely break my leg. Besides, what can I ask for if I get a daughter-in-law like this, such a thing will never happen .”

Seeing what Tang Shanzhi said, Li Chengqian laughed.

Although Tang Shanzhi looks ordinary, he is knowledgeable enough and behaves cleanly.Although the family is not as good as the eldest grandson's family, it is much better to choose him than that bastard eldest grandson Chong.

After patting Tang Shanzhi on the shoulder, Li Chengqian walked up to Li Yuan, lifted his skirt and was about to kneel down.

Li Yuan was well prepared for this scene, he held Li Chengqian back with a smile and said, "It's enough to come and see me as an old man, you don't need to kneel down to show your filial piety."

As for Li Chengqian talking to Changle and Tang Shanzhi first and ignoring his affairs first, Li Yuan didn't care at all.As he got older, this kind of playfulness between juniors made him feel even more warm.

When Li Chengqian came, Tang Shanshi was naturally pushed aside.

Picking up the jug on the table and smelling it, then looking at Li Yuan's face, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Although yellow fermented wine is not as refreshing as high-grade wine, drinking less is good for your health. That's good , you live a few more years, and you can still see your great-grandson grow up. Maybe you don't know, the princess is already pregnant. "

"Really?"

Hearing this news, the smile on Li Yuan's face that never stopped deepened a lot.In the past two years, his legs and feet have been bad, and he has no intention of going out.What pleased him the most was that the people from Changle often came to see him. Although the emperor was busy, he would occasionally come over to drink with him.How dare you think about such a day when you were forced to sit in Zen?

"Okay, then I'll live a few more years, haha. Let's not talk about it. After three years, you've already grown so tall. This time, you can't just say no to drinking!"

Li Chengqian smiled wryly, but still picked up the wine glasses naturally and poured a glass for all three of them.

Drink one cup, and the second cup will come soon...

After drinking until Li Yuan felt confused, the three of them left.

Walking out of the palace, the snow had stopped at this time, the weather was cold, and just a gust of wind made people shrink their necks.

The auspicious snow heralds a good year. Recalling the great locust plague, Li Chengqian realized that he had lived in Datang for such a long time.

The carriage was waiting at the foot of the steps.

After returning to the East Palace, the first thing Li Chengqian entered was the study.

Sure enough, a lot of memorials had been placed on the table, and Zhang Yun was still holding a lot in his arms.

Putting the memorial he was carrying on the table, Zhang Yun said, "His Royal Highness, Du Pushe sent a letter saying that it would be better for you to work in the lobby of Shang Shu Sheng. It is not suitable for their foreign ministers to enter the East Palace frequently. Besides, from Shang Shu Sheng After processing the memorial, it will be distributed to six volumes, and it will be very fast."

Taking a look at the office environment in the East Palace, and then imagining the situation of Shangshu Province, Li Chengqian couldn't help sighing: "Then from tomorrow, let's switch to Shangshu Province. But, you go and see first, if Shangshu Province doesn't have heating equipment , The tables and chairs are worn out, so I took money from the East Palace to exchange them. Everyone has become the top boss of the court, why do they still like to pretend to be poor when they work?"

Zhang Yun said with a smile: "This is a custom, and the power of habit cannot be changed by just a word. But if you tell me so, this servant will go and have a look."

Nodding his head, picking up a memorial, Li Chengqian smiled wryly.

Too much!

Chapter 418 Break their legs!

In the past, only business memorials would be sent to him, but now that he has become a minister, it has directly become all the memorials.is all!Even the memorials reviewed by the emperor had to be screened by the Ministry of the Ministry of Education, or sent back specially by the Ministry of Education.

Now Li Chengqian finally understands why Shang Shuling has to be paired with two servants, not entirely because he wants to downplay the existence of Shang Shuling, and thinks that this is not a job that one person can do at all.

Fortunately, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others were reliable, and each memorial was accompanied by a note, marking the priority of the memorial.Ordinary memorials, you only need to look at them casually, or even don't need to look at them, and send them directly to various departments, and generally there will be no problems.

After discovering this, Li Chengqian seemed to have been helped by a god, and managed to finish all the memorials before dinner.

With his youthful energy, he felt as if he was going to die after finishing the memorial, but for an old man, tsk tsk, he would probably live 30 to [-] years.No wonder Gao Shilian wanted to take this opportunity to retire. In the highest position in the three provinces, he is indeed a high-ranking and powerful person, but his contribution is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

After washing his hands, under Fang Shan's leadership, Li Chengqian was going to Yichun Palace.

The weather is cold, if Ashina Xue still lives in Beiyuan, Yichun, he will freeze to death.So at Xiuxiu's invitation, she simply lived in Yichun Palace.

As soon as she came out of the study, she saw Wu Mei walking over with a steaming water basin in her arms. Seeing the prince, she put down the water basin and saluted before pushing open the door of the study and entering.

Seeing that the prince was puzzled, Fang Shan said: "At present, there is not much shortage of people in the East Palace, only your study, because you just came back, and someone needs to clean it. Of course, according to your instructions, the slaves often call her during this time." Doing dirty and tiring work, but she never refused, and never complained. The servant also tried to put a beautiful jade pendant in the corner of your study, but she was unmoved and put the jade pendant back Your desk. Although the time is short, I think this girl doesn't need to be too suspicious."

"No, it's too much, doubtful, isn't it?"

Nodding his head, Li Chengqian sighed and looked at Wu Mei who was carefully wiping the table and the floor in the study, and said to Fang Shan while walking: "Then don't continue to test her, the East Palace is very big, just give her a place to stay." .”

Taking another look at Wu Mei, Li Chengqian completely lost the idea of ​​driving her away.The world line has changed, and she will only become an ordinary little girl.Without my father, my mother and sister are not around, so I still need to take care of them.

Strolling towards Yichun Palace, along the way, there are many sculptures such as snowmen.All the snow in the East Palace is never transported out, and more often it is piled up in the garden, making sculptures such as snowmen, which can be regarded as a kind of fun.

Yichun Palace is completely different from the dilapidated one it used to be. The palace ladies and eunuchs come and go, and the popularity may be the main reason for making a place lively.

Now Yichun Palace has also undergone renovation, and the template is the side hall of Dengzhou Palace.This means that the official censor does not know, otherwise he will definitely complain that the East Palace violates the establishment system.It's all nonsense whether it's organized or not, and the most important thing is to live comfortably.

No one greeted them when they entered the door. It turned out that the two women went to take a bath.
