Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Changsun Wuji came out of the palace with a rich expression on his face. He felt relieved to solve the problem, but also felt annoyed after being cheated.

There is also the joy of thinking about King Ji's loss, and the sadness of being impoverished in the future.

All the emotions are intertwined and can only be described as confusing.

Fortunately, he solved the crisis of the eldest son's family. If after paying back the money, King Ji still suppressed the eldest grandson's family in this way, then his majesty would not agree.

Li Shimin didn't think about blackmailing Duke Zhao at first, but he became a little angry when he thought that the queen was so angry and sick due to the incident in Duke Zhao's house.

In order to prevent the queen from knowing the news about the Changsun Mansion, he specially issued a ban. Even the prince specially asked not to tell the queen about these things.

As a result, Changsun Wuji came today and talked about everything. How could this not make Li Shimin angry?

Li Shimin watched Changsun Wuji disappear into the Zhengdian Hall, feeling extremely happy and happy, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, that traitor's plan has failed this time." He was happy that he ruined Li Shen's plan.

The interests that originally belonged to Li Shen were intercepted by him and put into his pocket.

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Majesty King Ji will be sad again this time. King Ji must not have thought that His Majesty would profit from it."

Wang De also agreed, thinking about King Ji's annoyed look, which made him feel happy.

"Hmph, this traitor thinks he is so smart that he made a wedding dress for me." Li Shimin snorted disdainfully.

"Your Majesty is wise and well-strategized. How can His Highness Prince Ji defeat your Majesty?" Wang De immediately flattered him.

"Haha." Li Shimin was very happy. He finally grabbed the money from Li Shen, and he used a trick.

"Lao Shi is still too young. He thought that he could force Changsun Wuji to submit by using such methods, and wanted to blackmail Duke Zhao Guo.

He thought that raising the price of gold would be enough, but he did not think about the financial resources of Duke Zhao's government.

The more he added, the more Duke Zhao's government could not afford to repay. He thought that with Changsun Huan's loan contract in hand, he could do whatever he wanted.

Little did he know that Zhao Guogong repaid the money...repaid the money...borrowed..."

Li Shimin, who was originally proud, suddenly thought of something when he said this. After repeating a few words about borrowing money, his mood was suddenly not as high as before.

"Alas~~~" Finally, Li Shimin sighed in frustration.

"Your Majesty..." Wang De didn't know why. His Majesty was very happy just now, but why did he feel a little depressed in the blink of an eye?

"In the end, this traitor is the biggest winner." After speaking, Li Shimin walked towards the inner hall.

Wang De hurriedly followed.

The next day

When Li Shen was walking with Lu Dingniang in the back garden, a servant came over to report that Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Duke Zhao, was here.

"What's he doing here? Could it be that he's here to discuss repayment?" Li Shen was a little curious. He thought he was here to discuss a smaller debt with him.

In fact, Li Shen didn't expect how much gold he could pay back. If so, Li Shen would have raised the price to 20 guan or even higher.

He just wanted to give Zhao Guogong's government a show of strength and make a little money by the way.

Of course, suppressing the reputation of the Changsun family was also one of his goals.

Li Shen didn't change his clothes, so he came to the front hall with Shitou and others in regular clothes.

After seeing Changsun Wuji, he immediately put on a smile:

"Oh, uncle is here, please sit down."

"I have met Prince Ji." Changsun Wuji gave a symbolic salute.

"Haha, we are all one family. Uncle, you don't have to be polite. Come and serve good tea." Li Shen nodded and said with a smile.

"My lord, don't bother me. I'll leave as soon as I finish my work." Changsun Wuji didn't want to drink tea and chat with this guy.

Now when he sees Li Shen and Sun Wuji, he is angry.

"Hey~~~ If anything happens, a cup of tea is enough. I and my uncle haven't had a good chat for a long time."

Li Shen looked like a friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shen's ugly face and really wanted to slap him twice. This man was really thick-skinned. None of them, veterans who had experienced ups and downs in the court, could compare to this guy.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, I am here today to repay the money, a total of eleven thousand four hundred and fifty-eight kilograms of gold.

All the ministers brought it, and this time the principal was repaid with interest. "

Changsun Wuji didn't want to talk nonsense to Li Shen, so he spoke straightforwardly.

"Gold? Well...it turns out that uncle is here to pay back the money. Alas~~~we are all a family, why are you in such a hurry? If uncle is not convenient, there is no harm in waiting a few more days. There is no need to be in such a hurry."

Li Shen was surprised, where did this old thief Changsun get so much gold? I was still thinking of making a small profit, but I actually let this old thief acquire gold.

"No need, it is natural to repay debts, not to mention the money owed to Prince Ji. Everyone in the world knows that His Highness Prince Ji is not easy to owe."

Seeing Li Shen's hypocrisy, Changsun Wuji made a sarcastic expression without expression, and thought to himself:

If you hadn't used despicable means to force me to pay back the money, would I have been so anxious and spent so much money?

Seeing that the old lamp was ungrateful, Li Shen felt disdainful and misunderstood his kindness, so he stopped talking nonsense and ordered to the stone:

"Go and ask Mrs. Wu to open the No. 1 warehouse, and Fugui will be responsible for the inventory."

Because Lu Dingniang was pregnant and had difficulty moving, Lu Dingniang later gave the keys to the palace to Wu Meiniang for safekeeping.

Wu Meiniang is responsible for some matters in the palace.

This was also agreed by Li Shen.

Changsun Wuji also ordered his servants to cooperate with people from Prince Ji's Mansion to count the gold.

"Come to my uncle for tea. It will take them a while to count them."

After Changsun Wuji sat down, Li Shen took a sip of tea and asked curiously:

"My uncle was able to purchase so much gold. He is really capable. I wonder who he bought it from?

Uncle, don't mind, I'm just curious. "

Changsun Wuji didn't want to answer, but suddenly thought of something and smiled slightly.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, who in Chang'an City has so much gold?"

Seeing Changsun Wuji's smile with a different meaning, Li Shen started to think.

There are really not many people in Chang'an City who can produce more than 10,000 kilograms of gold.

The gold of noble families would not be placed in Chang'an City, but in the family's ancestral land.

After thinking about it, Li Shen suddenly asked:

"Did uncle get it from the treasury of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" He thought of a possibility.

As the prime minister of the DPRK, Changsun Wuji wanted to exchange some gold from the treasury. The Minister of Civil Affairs would definitely make it easier, but he didn't know at what price he exchanged the gold.

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly and smiled mysteriously:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, how can I take advantage of the national treasury? If so, I believe you will go to the court to impeach me tomorrow."
