Chapter 559
Li Er soon came to the Imperial Study Room of Ganlu Palace.

For the sake of confidentiality, Wang Gonggong immediately closed the yellow door of the royal study.

Li Er then opened the letter and observed it carefully.

At first, Li Er thought the letter was about the daily life of the eldest grandson's family!
But when Li Er read the contents of the letter, he was not calm on the spot.

The contents of the letter are shocking!
"Since Changsun Wuji wants to send people to the sea to develop gold and copper mines in the so-called South America?"

Li Erlongyan was furious, because there was nothing in the world but Wang Tu, and he felt that Changsun Wuji was robbing him of his money!
"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Wang Gonggong immediately appeased Li Er.

Li Er handed the letter to Wang Gonggong and said, "You can give me advice after reading the letter!"

"Slaves follow orders!"

The prince didn't dare to neglect, he took the letter and looked at it seriously.

Looking at the prince, his hands were shaking.

Because Changsun Wuji is going to go to sea to dig gold and copper mines this time.

As for the guano mine mentioned in the letter, the prince passed it by.

At present, the Datang Navy is already developing the guano of Guano Island, so it doesn't care about the guano in South America.

Most importantly, South America is thousands of miles away from Datang.

It takes a year and a half to go back and forth, and it is not so easy to go to sea to make a fortune!
"The letter mentioned gold mines and copper mines. These are the raw materials needed by the Tang Dynasty to mint coins. Do you think I can stand by and watch?"

Li Er angrily asked Wang Gonggong!

Wang Gonggong raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you summon Changsun Wuji to come over for questioning!"

"You are right, I will ask Changsun Wuji about this tonight!"

Li Er recognized Wang Gonggong's remonstrance.

The next moment, Li Er shouted: "Come here, order Sun Wuji, the Secretary of the Ministry of History, to come to the Ganlu Hall to see me!"

"Slaves follow orders!"

The prince immediately walked out of the imperial study and sent the imperial army to Changsun's house to summon Changsun Wuji to the palace to meet the emperor.

Li Er didn't heave a sigh of relief until the Imperial Forest Army had left, "I hope Changsun Wuji won't deceive me this time, otherwise I will dismiss him from office!"

"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Wuji is the empress's brother. It is best for you to find out the truth about this matter!"

Wang Gonggong didn't want Li Er and Queen Changsun to tear their face apart, so he continued to appease Li Er.

Li Er nodded and stopped talking.

In fact, Li Er still attaches great importance to Changsun Wuji.

If it hadn't been for the empress Changsun to stop him, Changsun Wuji would be Shangshu Youpushe of Shangshu Province now!

Empress Changsun didn't want her family to follow in the footsteps of Empress Lu of the Western Han Dynasty, so she kept preventing Changsun Wuji from being the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty!
After a stick of incense, Changsun Wuji was finally brought into the Ganlu Palace by the Imperial Forest Army.

Changsun Wuji was uneasy when he arrived at Ganlu Hall, because he was rarely summoned by Li Er alone so late.

There are no other civil servants and military generals in the Imperial Study Room of Ganlu Palace, which means that Li Er is definitely not talking about state affairs with Changsun Wuji!

Since Li Er wasn't talking about state affairs with Changsun Wuji, he must be talking about family affairs!

Changsun Wuji was helpless for a moment.

"Your Majesty, Sun Wuji, Minister of History, brought you here!"

The imperial guard immediately ran into the imperial study room to report to Li Er.

"Bring eldest grandson Wuji in to see me!"

Li Er raised his head and solemnly stared at Changsun Wuji at the door of the imperial study.

"Here!"

The imperial forest army immediately brought Changsun Wuji into the imperial study.

"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

When Changsun Wuji arrived in front of Li Er, he immediately bowed respectfully as a courtier.

Li Er stared at Changsun Wuji and snorted coldly: "Changsun Wuji, I heard that the fleet of Changsun's family will leave for overseas gold hunting the day after tomorrow. Is there such a thing?"

"Ah... Your Majesty, I have indeed sent my family's fleet to go out to sea to hunt for treasure in two days!"

Changsun Wuji tactfully admitted this matter.

Apart from Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, and Yu Chihuan also knew about the fact that the Changsun family's fleet went to sea!
So Changsun Wuji suspected that he had been betrayed by Li Jing and the others.

"Changsun Wuji, can you tell me where the fleet of Changsun's family is going to explore treasures this time?"

After Li Er finished speaking, he pointed to the globe in the imperial study.

Changsun Wuji stared at the globe in the imperial study for a moment, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this time I will send a fleet to South America to search for treasures!"

In the end, Changsun Wuji still didn't dare to hide from Li Er!
Otherwise, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor!

After listening to Changsun Wuji's answer, Li Er heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Changsun Wuji, you went to South America to find gold and copper mines, why didn't you tell me first?"

"Your Majesty, how did you know about this?"

Changsun Wuji turned pale with fright, he never thought that such a well-thought-out matter would be leaked out.

There is news of gold and copper mines in South America, only the descendants of the eldest grandson's family know!
But since Li Er already knew about it, Changsun Wuji would not dare to find out which son-in-law leaked the secret.

Because Changsun Wuji's doing so is tantamount to opposing Li Er.

Li Er sent spies to lurk the eldest grandson's house, and even if eldest grandson Wuji knew about it, he would not dare to act rashly.

"Hmph, Changsun Wuji, if you want others to know you have to do nothing, you don't have to ask me this question!"

Li Er snorted coldly and refused to answer Changsun Wuji's question.

Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I bought a nautical chart from Prime Minister Yuchi today, and I know that there are gold and copper mines in South America!"

After that, Changsun Wuji stood on the globe and pointed out the map of the South American Desert.

Li Er stared at the map of the great desert of South America on the globe, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Changsun Wuji, since there are gold and copper mines in South America, I want to join the fleet of Changsun's family!"

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen only has three shares of the Sun family fleet, and the other shares have been sold to Qin Qiong, Li Jing, and Duan Zhixuan!"

Changsun Wuji immediately confessed to Li Er.

Otherwise, Li Er will open his mouth tonight and ask Changsun Wuji for [-]% of the shares, and Changsun Wuji will be helpless!

"Changsun Wuji, I only need [-]% of the shares of the Changsun family's fleet, and you can keep [-]% of the shares!"

Li Er thought about it for a moment, and in the end he compromised and asked for [-]% of the shares in the Changsun family's fleet.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Changsun Wuji agreed to Li Er's request without hesitation.

"Changsun Wuji, what is Xiao Yuchi's share in the fleet of the Changsun family?"

Li Er then asked Changsun Wuji curiously.

"Your Majesty, the young Prime Minister Yuchi used the navigation chart today to exchange for [-]% of the shares of the Sun family's fleet!"

Changsun Wuji didn't dare to hide Li Er, so he immediately told Li Er about Yuchihuan's shares in Changsun's fleet.

"I never imagined that such an important nautical chart from Xiao Yuchi would be exchanged for [-]% of the Changsun family's fleet haha!"

Li Er felt that Yu Chihuan was a little silly.

If it were someone else, they would have quietly dispatched a fleet to South America to mine gold and copper mines.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I can't imagine that the young Prime Minister Yuchi is so generous haha!"

Now Li Erlong is very happy, and Changsun Wuji is no longer worried!
