Chapter Thirteen Watch the Children for Me
"Why is Shen Quan in debt?" Li Shimin suddenly raised this issue with urgency.
This made Shen An extremely embarrassed. He really didn't know about this, but looking at Li Shimin's nervous look, if he told the truth, he might be offended.
At the critical moment, he had an idea and turned to Eunuch Liang for help.
Yesterday, he reminded himself of the debt issue, which meant that he had known about it for a long time. Maybe he knew a little more about it than he did.
Eunuch Liang immediately received the signal. He is a good old man and is best at resolving this kind of crisis, so he stood up immediately.
"The old slave heard that Shen Quan was deceived and borrowed money. Later, the cashier forced him to repay the money. Your Majesty also knows that this man has always been diligent and honest, but he was unable to repay. The cashier forced him to mortgage the property. He temporarily I couldn't think about it anymore, so I threw myself into the lake."
"How could such a thing happen!" Li Shimin's voice rose several decibels, obviously angry.
"Which cash box is it? Who is the bastard in the middle?"
He looked at Shen An, who looked confused. This was the first time he had heard of these things, so he had to tell the truth: "It's Yongfeng Cashier, a charlatan named Qian. Just yesterday, he came to the door and forced him to , and beat Wei Chen, who fought hard and drove him away."
Shen An seized this opportunity to add insult to injury, and even rolled up his sleeves to show the bruises on his arms. The evidence was all there, and Li Shimin was furious.
"Send the order to seize the Yongfeng cash box!"
What?
Is this going to be sealed?
Li Shimin's thunderous fury made everyone present completely dumbfounded.
Jin Wuwei took action immediately. Li Shimin's expression changed at every turn. Just now he seemed to want to eat people, but now he was amiable. He took Shen Quan's hand and said with a smile: "Are you ten years old this year?"
"fourteen."
"It turns out he was born during the Wude period!"
Look, he is still a child and is about to inherit his father's business. Logically speaking, he is still too young to be an official.
But this position still fell on his shoulders.
"You know, I have appointed you and your son to inherit this position."
It turns out that he did not benefit from his father, but from Li Shimin. Shen An finally found the right benefactor.
It seems that the relationship between his father Shen Quan and Li Shimin is very deep. Since Li Shimin mentioned this matter, it means that he intends to continue this topic. Shen An quickly expressed his position: "Shen An will do his best to serve His Majesty."
"Your temperament is exactly the same as Shen Quan's." Shen An's respectful look reminded Li Shimin of Shen Quan again.
"I'm not asking you to go into battle to kill the enemy. You just need to take care of the well. You don't have to be so frightened."
"Yesterday, my father said that Shen Quan is an old acquaintance of my father. Can you tell me what kind of friendship they had?" Li Zhi leaned on Li Shimin's shoulder and said in a sweet voice.
"That was an unforgettable friendship." Li Shimin said affectionately.
He looked at Shen An. This child seemed to know nothing about the past. Li Shimin knew all the pain in Shen Quan's heart.
Since he didn't want to tell his son, he chose to remain silent.
Shen An waited eagerly for a long time, but nothing happened. He was extremely disappointed. Shimin, Shimin, how far is your friendship with Shen Quan? Could you explain it to me?
It also helps me to be prepared so that I can continue to explore resources in the future.
"Shen An, did your father give you a jade plaque?"
Shen An was stunned, why, Li Shimin also knew about the jade plaque?
Darling, who does this thing belong to?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, my father did give Weichen a jade plaque and told him to keep it carefully. Weichen knew the importance of the jade plaque, so he kept it at home and did not take it with him." He rolled his eyes and quickly lie.
Li Shimin looked at him and felt that his expression was a bit unnatural. Shen An tried hard to control it, but he could not honestly tell Li Shimin that he had sold the jade plaque to Fang Yiai.
"Your Majesty, do you want to see the jade plaque?" he asked tentatively, his heart in his throat.
No matter how Li Shimin answered, he now realized a serious problem: he had sold the wrong piece of jade.
"No, no, just leave it where you are." Shimin said cheerfully.
Shen An breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Li Zhi gave him another problem.
"Father, my son's house is close to Mr. Shen's house. From now on, I would like to go out of the palace more and see the world. Is that okay?"
"You don't want to see the world, you just want to go out and play!"
Li Shimin showed no mercy and exposed Li Zhi's lie on the spot. Li Zhi curled his lips regretfully. Shimin poked his forehead and said affectionately: "However, since Shen An is here, we can consider it."
What to consider?
Why did he kick the ball to him again?
Li Zhi is Li Shimin's favorite son. If something goes wrong in his hands, what should we do?
There was cold sweat on his head. Shen An dared to be angry but dared not speak. He looked at Li Zhi. This boy was looking at him with an expression of gloating about his misfortune.
For the sake of my great cause of fun, please feel aggrieved. The message he conveyed was very clear. Someone just felt that the back of his head started to hurt again.
"From now on, the pheasant slave will be entrusted to you. You must take good care of him."
"Yes, Wei Chen will do his best."
Shen An lowered his head and agreed a little reluctantly.
Watch him, Li Shimin's brain circuit is also very strange!
Li Zhi is nine years old, and he is only fourteen. They are similar in age, but they are both children. Can he look after him?
What a mess.
However, Li Shimin obviously didn't think so. For some reason, he had a good impression of Shen An and had high hopes for her.
"Shen An, the pheasant slave is young and naughty. If he behaves inappropriately, you can advise him. If he doesn't listen, you can discipline him for me." Li Shimin threw down the heavy hammer with a smile, and Shen An Before he could react, Li Zhi had an attack first.
"Father, my sons are the most obedient and well-behaved. How can I make mistakes?"
"You still asked Mr. Shen to discipline me, but I refused to obey!"
Li Zhi pouted angrily, never expecting that his father could still kill someone with a carbine.
This time, Shen An reached a rare agreement with Li Zhi. He lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a distinguished status. How can a humble minister judge without permission, let alone teach him a lesson?"
He flashed his eyes and tried his best to look sincere and sincere, trying to win Li Shimin's sympathy.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really can't do this.
Your precious son has many evil intentions. He wants to make a lot of money, but he has no time to look after your child.
Li Shimin put down his court affairs and was in a good mood.
In his eyes, both Li Zhi and Shen An were good young men and pillars of the Tang Dynasty. How he saw and liked them.
After stroking his beard, he smiled and said to Shen An: "You don't have to worry, I believe in you!"
"Pheasant slave, Shen An is your savior. He gave you your life. You must listen to him in the future and cannot treat him lightly."
"Father..." Li Zhi's expression was very difficult, and his face was as congested as a boiled red egg. Li Shimin frowned: "What's the matter?"
His face had become very gloomy. Li Zhi always knew his father's temper. When he was good, he was considerate and did everything he asked for.
When it's bad, it can burn through everything!
He turned to Shen An, hoping that he would come forward and help him out of trouble. The man had a calm face and had no intention of taking action.
Boy, now you think about asking me to help, who dug the hole for me just now?
If you didn't have to go out to play, how could you get into such trouble? If you are capable, you can solve this problem yourself.
Li Zhi thought about it for a while, and saw a hint of schadenfreude in Shen An's expression. He was extremely angry, but he couldn't afford to offend Li Shimin.
