I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Zhi is very embarrassed now. He feels that Li Shen is deliberately targeting him.

He just said a few words and was interpreted by Li Shen as a serious crime of rebellion.

Whether he loses his country or his country dies, it puts him in a very bad situation.

Li Shimin's eyes kept staring at him, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Aye, I didn't mean that, I just...just..."

"Okay, I know you have no other intentions, sit down.

Old Ten, don't talk nonsense, Wang De has taken care of this country," Li Shimin said to Li Zhi, and then said something to Li Shen. Finally, Wang De took away Li Shen's bucket of Jiangshan.

"It's Aye." Li Shen nodded obediently and sat down.

Li Zhi also sat down, but gave Li Shen a sharp look.

Li Shen didn't show any weakness, and raised his eyebrows at Li Zhi, meaning, why don't you accept it and hurt each other.

Li Tai watched from the side with a smile on his face.

Next, the emperor and his ministers had fun together, singing and dancing. Song and dance were popular in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin personally came to play with the ministers.

Li Shen was not good at this and could only sit there and watch.

Not long after, Li Shen felt bored and followed Empress Changsun and his mother, Concubine Wei, back to the harem.

After chatting with the two mothers for a while, Li Shen was ready to leave.

"Shen'er, you actually used a bucket of ginger to deceive your Aye. Today is your Aye's birthday. How do you want me to say hello to you?"

Concubine Wei pointed her finger at Li Shen's head and blamed him.

"Mother, how can this be called deception? Look how happy Aye is, and Aye is not short of money. Doesn't it matter what I give him? As long as Aye is happy.

And what you said, mother-in-law, is to be special and to make Aye happy.

I thought about this method in the palace for a long time. "

"Then you can't just give ginger away." Concubine Wei was almost furious with her son.

He actually fooled His Majesty with ginger. The gift of any person present today is worth more than Li Shen's.

"Okay, okay, I think Shen'er's method is very good. Look how happy Erlang is." Empress Changsun defended.

"Hey, sister, what do you think Shen'er is doing?" Concubine Wei sighed helplessly.

"Um...if there's nothing wrong with mother, I'll just say goodbye. My son has something to do when he returns to the palace." Li Shen took the opportunity to say.

Empress Changsun nodded, and Li Shen immediately ran away. When he came to the front, he saw Li Shimin sitting there drinking with Cheng Yao, Jin Fangxuanling and other elderly people.

Li Shen walked up to Li Shimin and said:

"Aye, I'm too drunk and a little drunk. If there are no other matters, I'm going to leave. I still have things to deal with when I return to the palace."

"No, look at your brothers, they haven't left yet. You go and accompany your eldest brother." Li Shimin turned back and looked at Li Shen and refused.

Li Shen had no choice but to run to Li Chengqian's place. When Cui Renzhi and other ministers from the aristocratic family saw this scene, they knew that Prince Ji must have returned home to handle the matter of receiving the goods.

I felt confident that what Wei Si said was true.

The banquet did not end until the evening. Li Shen also drank too much and was unsteady on his feet. Two maids helped Li Shen get into the carriage and return to Prince Ji's Mansion.

The ministers of the aristocratic family hurried to the family mansion, and they wanted to get out of the city as soon as possible.

That night, a dozen people were waiting here quietly at the Weishui Pier.

"Here we come." Suddenly a man stood on the bank of the river and shouted,

I saw lights in the middle of the river, and soon a large transport ship approached.

"Be quick with your hands and feet and quickly unload this cargo and transport it to the warehouse. There are dozens more behind.

It delayed the affairs of Prince Ji's Mansion, so be careful with your heads. "

More than a dozen people got off the boat, and one of them said to the workers unloading the goods.

These people were all found in advance.

"Everyone is polite, I wonder who is the shopkeeper." The family sent a steward from the Wang family to ask.

"This is polite, we are all the shopkeepers, what's the matter?" the person who just spoke replied.

"I am a shopkeeper from the Wang family in Taiyuan. I wonder if it would be convenient for you all to come over and talk about something." Shopkeeper Wang said politely.

When several people heard that he was the shopkeeper of the Wang family in Taiyuan, they didn't dare to neglect him and nodded one after another.

Shopkeeper Wang took a dozen shopkeepers to an open space on the shore, where all the shopkeepers of the family were.

"Everyone, these belong to the shopkeeper of my Wu family. I'm here so late to wait for you." Shopkeeper Wang introduced them one by one and then stated the purpose.

"I wonder what Shopkeeper Wang is waiting for us to do?"

"I heard that the goods on your ships are all raw silk and linen, right?" asked the shopkeeper of the Cui family.

"Exactly, but these goods are needed by Prince Ji's Mansion, we are just here to deliver them," one person said.

"That means Prince Ji's Mansion hasn't delivered the money to you yet, right?" Cui's shopkeeper asked quickly after hearing this.

"Exactly, but Prince Ji's Mansion still has its credibility."

"That's just right. Since Prince Ji's Mansion has not delivered the goods, we want this batch of goods.

We have brought all the money and we can deliver it now. "The shopkeeper of the Wang family said immediately.

"This won't work. This batch of goods was reserved by Prince Ji's Mansion. We can't be dishonest. If you want it, we can go back and raise money for you." A shopkeeper immediately refused.

"Huh~~Integrity? Don't you take our family of the Five Surnames seriously? It's not like we don't pay for it. We buy it at the price of Prince Ji's Mansion. Even if we get into trouble with His Majesty, we are not afraid.

You have to think carefully, do you want to go against our family, or do you want to say that our family has no prestige now! "The shopkeeper of the Lu family snorted and threatened.

They knew when they came here that it would not go smoothly, so they had already discussed it, using their power to overwhelm others and achieve a quick victory.

"This... this... you are all nobles, we are just untouchables, nobles please let me go, otherwise we will not be able to explain to King Ji." These people looked like they were about to cry,

No one on either side can afford to offend, so they can only plead.

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell Prince Ji. I guess you didn't even sign the contract. This will give you an excuse. You can tell Prince Ji that I want this batch of goods." The Cui family shopkeeper was domineering. replied.

"Please allow me to discuss it."

Then a dozen shopkeepers gathered together and whispered for a while, and then one person stood up as a representative.

"Dear gentlemen, we have discussed it and we can sell it to you, but the price will be higher than that of Prince Ji's Mansion.

Two hundred and seventy coins for raw silk and two hundred and forty coins for linen.

In this way, we can have an explanation when King Ji accuses us, and the one with the highest price will get it.

If you agree, we will deliver. If you don't agree, we will not sell it to you even if we die. The price of offending a prince is too high. "
