Looking back many years later, Li Xiaogong was still a little embarrassed. He was the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, and he felt nervous when a young man walked towards him. Fortunately, Li Shengshi came over, and then he took his seat.
...Then he narrowed his eyes and turned into a pair of dead fish eyes, staring at Li Er sideways.
This look made Li Xiaogong relax, and the inexplicable sense of oppression disappeared, but he also became inexplicably nervous...
Good guy, after all, is this His Majesty our Tang Dynasty, or is this your father, the Holy King, and you are just staring at me like this? Isn’t this a bit...
When Li Xiaogong felt that something was wrong, something was wrong, something was wrong, Li Sheng already spoke impatiently,
"Okay, Old Li... Why didn't I hear you say before that your relationship in Chang'an is so strong that you even know the prince of Hejian County and the British Duke?"
Li Er looked at Li Er with an unkind expression. This look directly made Li Er feel numb. For a while, cold sweat broke out on his head...
Wei Zheng and others on the side also had swollen faces, because of this situation...
That's right, when everyone came, of course they calculated who knew Li Sheng, who revealed his identity, and who remained hidden, and whether there would be any consequences... They had already thought about such issues and nothing would happen, but they didn't.
I didn’t expect that “Old Li’s” connections were getting more and more outrageous...
This time, Li Sheng said it out, and Li Er was immediately thrown into confusion. Good guy... this kid's brain reaction is too fast.
It's true, you are already a prince, what can you do if you are a little stupid? I can't starve a bastard like you!
Li Er scratched his head nervously and made up a story, while screaming in his stomach...
However, Li Sheng snorted and didn't care much. Then he turned to look at Li Xiaogong with a smile on his face. Li Ji and Li Ji were extremely enthusiastic - many times more enthusiastic than when they conquered Goguryeo. "Prince,
Sir, long time no see, the two seniors are still as good as ever. I would like to propose a toast to the two seniors!"
After saying that, he directly raised the pot to pour wine, and the wine was poured on the spot until the glass was dry - this scene immediately made everyone feel numb, this...
How can a king, when receiving a toast, first propose a toast to the ministers on his side?
Isn't this intentional to cause trouble? Isn't this... At this moment, cold sweat was pouring down on Li Xiaogong and Li Ji's foreheads. If someone like the imperial censor saw this, wouldn't they be able to read it back and get involved in it? Who is this?
I can withstand it...
Then again, Your Highness, what are you doing? Your Highness, toast your emperor father first, damn it!
But at this time, counselors like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui reacted fastest. They quickly kicked Li Xiaogong under the table, gave him a sharp look, and then quickly looked away. Li Xiaogong noticed it without turning his head.
After all, he is also an old Jianghu, so he understood Fang Xuanling's meaning calmly, and he wanted to continue acting by himself...
And at this moment, Li Xiaogong also understood. It seems that he will act like this today... Anyway, seeing His Highness like this, he probably doesn't see anything fishy. In this case, it's okay. Impeachment or something... Don't reveal your identity.
It would be nice to cause trouble for His Majesty. So...
So for the next half hour, Li Xiaogong could only pretend to be an elder and a boss. On the one hand, he had to be careful not to be disrespectful to His Majesty, but on the other hand, he had to cooperate with Li Xiaogong.
Sheng knew everyone's identity and pretended to be the boss in front of Li Er...
After three rounds of drinking, I don’t know if the alcohol is over or not. Anyway, Li Xiaogong felt like he was about to faint... This difficulty was too high. In the past...
Li Xiaogong has always positioned himself as a military man. Regarding many things in politics... he knows some relatively important and basic principles, but after carefully calculating the many tricks and joints in the officialdom, it is not his field...
…
For so many years, as a cousin of Li Er's family, I did not drink with my blood brothers in Chang'an and stayed out of town. In addition to the factor of being a hero who wanted to avoid suspicion, there was also the factor of "as a warrior, I am naturally disgusted with intrigues."
, I instinctively felt that I was not the type to scheme against people.
But... But after today's scene, Li Xiaogong was shocked to realize that he might have a talent for politics... If he could handle such an underworld situation, he might actually be a genius as a civil servant...
Fortunately, after such a drink, everyone had a good chat with Li Sheng, and the atmosphere was finally livened up. At this time, Fang Xuanling rolled his eyes and asked about the banknotes with a smile.
thing……
In the final analysis, it is actually the recent banknote problem in Hangzhou. Because of this problem, everyone specially made this trip. After all, the banknote issue is a big deal. In the final analysis, no one dares to relax easily, even after thinking about it.
I couldn't help but come to confirm the situation with Li Sheng in person - no, of course not to confirm the situation with Li Sheng to be precise, after all, this matter...
This matter actually does not belong to Li Sheng...
But to ask Li Sheng what he thinks about the current banknote matter, Li Er and others feel it is quite necessary.
In addition to these, other matters... Because this banknote is actually mainly issued to maritime merchants - to be precise, the currency of the Tang Dynasty is mainly circulated in the hands of merchants in Hangzhou and Lingzhou, and this can be regarded as
Li Er's main management direction.
Fortunately for Lingzhou, the people in Shaanxiang and Liang areas in the northwest have always been simple and honest. As long as they trust you at first, they will always trust you. Li Er, as a military elite in Guanlong, is of course the most trusted, so the problem is not big. But
It is relatively difficult to say in Hangzhou.
That's why Li Er felt that it was really necessary to come and have a look in person.
but……
When this topic was mentioned, everyone felt a little nervous, fearing that Li Sheng would also frown, and the next moment... Li Sheng really frowned.
The chopsticks I was eating and drinking stopped in mid-air!
When they saw this scene, the hearts of Li Er and others immediately jumped up.
Damn... is something going to happen? It's not easy to do business in Datang... The key is that the banknotes are very involved, something is really going to go wrong...
For a moment, everyone stopped breathing.
But then, I saw Li Sheng muttering to himself, thinking about it and looking at these people, "You..."
"Haven't you guys hoarded a bunch of banknotes yourself? If I were you, I would have hoarded them a long time ago."
Li Er originally thought that Li Sheng would directly say whether the banknotes were good or bad, but he didn't expect it to be like this... But then he realized that Li Sheng was talking to a merchant, so he calmed down and asked, "
Why do you think this banknote is worth hoarding..."
"Why do you think so? This is not a joke...The next step, the imperial court will definitely purchase a large amount of banknotes!"
