"But what happened next? What happened to His Majesty?"
"Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others have made immeasurable achievements..."
Li Er's brows furrowed tightly when he was told about his pain point.
He knew that what Du Ruhui wanted to say was not just about the past...
"Keming, I'm not here to catch up with you today..."
"His Majesty!"
Du Ruhui's face turned red, he was very serious and continued speaking firmly.
"But Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others, all by colluding with the five surnamed Qiwang disciples, have become famous in front of the Supreme Emperor. They can have success or rain. And what about Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty is filial and obedient to his relatives in Tiance Mansion. Not to mention meeting his brother and father, but also meeting the servants in their house, His Majesty also treats them with courtesy and humility. But this group of people, in their minds
I just want to catch His Majesty and all His Majesty’s followers like us in one fell swoop!”
"Keming, stop talking..."
"Your Majesty! I must clarify this matter with Your Majesty!"
"The achievements of the eldest prince today are not as good as those of His Majesty back then, and are even greater than those of His Majesty!"
"The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them!"
…
When Du Ruhui said it, he almost yelled at Li Er in a stern voice.
Speaking of which, the entire court, just him, Wei Penzi... these few people dared to talk to him like this.
Li Er was said to be in a bad mood by Du Ruhui.
Mud, wasn't it because you were isolated back then? You have to make fun of my dark history. You are very happy, right?
But when Du Ruhui said the last sentence, Li Er suddenly woke up.
ah……
This is really the case.
"If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it... If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it..."
If Du Ruhui wants to live, Li Er completely understands.
this means……
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince's achievements are as high as mountains, and his virtue is as great as heaven and earth. This is what the people hope for, and what all sentient beings hope for."
"But those are the common people. Others... may not be happy to see such a powerful eldest prince."
"It's not just the prince who has ideas. What the five surnames Qi Wang did in the past few days must also be examined as a lesson learned."
After Du Ruhui finished speaking, Li Er fell into silence.
After a long time... I still let out a long sigh.
"Well, what you said is right. Alas...this matter is really uncomfortable."
"Even if we don't mention the eldest prince, Sheng'er's contribution to iron-making this time will definitely make him a hereditary prince. Nowadays, those who have made great contributions cannot be rewarded. I... I really feel ashamed. Is it really true that I should be an emperor like this?
no problem?"
Du Ruhui smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, what Your Highness likes is hidden behind incomprehensible intelligence, which is difficult for us to detect."
"But His Highness is obviously not very interested in power and fame."
"oh?"
Li Er was startled, then nodded.
It seems that Li Sheng is a very talented kid, but he does fall into the category of being indifferent to fame and wealth.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but sigh. After reading the history books, he understood a truth: the more this kind of person is, the more he should be rewarded!
However, when Du Ruhui said this, he obviously meant something else.
"In that case, does Keming have any ideas?"
"Your Majesty, to reward a person, you don't necessarily have to give him a position of authority. We just need to do what he likes and make His Highness happy... isn't this right? Even the Queen must think so."
Li Er suddenly understood and nodded.
That's right, as long as Sheng'er is happy, that's all, isn't it?
"I understand. Now, Keming, tell me, this... what should we give to Sheng'er that would be better?"
"Well, even Wei Chen doesn't know about this."
"well!"
Li Er suddenly became angry, "No, Keming, you don't even know what to give yourself, how can you ask me to give you a gift?"
"Well... Your Majesty, I don't know what His Highness likes, but... not long ago, His Highness brought a woman back from the Lion Tower..."
Li Er was stunned, and then showed a smile that every man could understand, "Then according to Yi Keming, it really is still..."
"Your Majesty, among men, this is the hard currency... Of course, His Highness is of noble character, so if I give it directly, I'm afraid His Highness will not accept it, but if you use some other name, great things can happen..."
…
at the same time.
In the big house in the south of the city.
Several old men were gathering to drink and chat happily.
The person sitting at the top is none other than the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Wang Jing!
"Come on, come on, Brother Pei, have another drink!"
"I can't come. I can't come. How much is this?"
"Hey, hey! Brother Pei, today is a big day. We have made an appointment to celebrate together. How can we not drink?"
"Haha! Brother Wang said yes, then have another drink!"
Everyone exchanged cups for a while, their faces all glowing with joy and excitement!
This is where people from the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes gather together.
Not long ago, he was arrested by Qin Qiong and others, and he was given countless money and gifts in the end. Li Er also knew that this kind of centipede insect was useless only to catch a few minded people.
So he simply let them go, and only Zheng Ling and Lu Wen were kept in custody. Wang Xuanchen... was originally going to be taken into custody, but after learning about Wang Xuanchen's problem, Li Erwen happily let this man go.
Everyone was planning to leave Chang'an, but recently...
They all stayed because they had to implement a plan.
This plan is exactly...
Fine iron acquisition plan!
And recently... this plan has finally come to an end.
Not just in Chang'an, but within a thousand miles around Chang'an, almost all the fine iron was consumed by the financial resources of the Five Surnames and Qi Wangs.
Further afield, throughout the Tang Dynasty, the acquisition of fine iron was also in progress.
But even if it's not finished, things are almost done.
Nowadays, the price of fine iron in Datang has been increased by dozens of times. It used to be that a well-made hoe can be obtained for more than 300 yuan. What about now? Even if you spend more than a dozen taels, you won’t necessarily get it.
Someone sells it to you!
Fine iron has a price but no market!
The goal has been achieved!
So this time, the group of people with the fifth surname and Qiwang were very excited and happy.
Pei Ji held up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
ha……
He shouted in one breath, and a rare look of ferocity appeared on Pei Ji's face.
"This kid from the Li family has been trying to gain fame and reputation, coaxing the support of the ignorant Guizhou leaders, and he has become the best. Now... he must understand what retribution is!"
Wang Jing laughed loudly when he heard this.
Laughing so freely!
"Hahaha!"
"Young son of the Li family, you are so hateful. That thief Li Sheng shot my grandson Wang Xuanchen until he was incapacitated, but Li Er protected him and sent my son to jail instead!"
"He, Li Erduo, has done unjust things, and he deserves to suffer such a catastrophe today!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed together!
Present were not only Pei Ji and Wang Jing, but also almost all the members of the Five Surnames and Qi Wang, who were the bosses.
