"Sigh!"
Helpless sighs sounded in Taiji Palace.
His Majesty is young, immature, and disobedient!
If you don't understand, you will do whatever you want.
If he didn't listen, it would only make the situation worse!
"Prime Minister Pei, does the Supreme Emperor have any objections?" Feng Deyi couldn't help but ask.”
Pei Ji looked at him with a faint gaze, his hand tightly gripping the thing in his sleeve.
Why not? The Supreme Emperor asked this old man to bring an imperial edict, but how could he take it out just now? If I take it out, won't you hate me for the rest of your lives?
Feng Deyi sighed." Your Majesty, the Supreme Firmament Gang is arbitrary. It's as difficult as ascending to the heavens to get the five surnames and seven hopes to donate enough money to resolve the urgent needs of the court.”
That's right!
Pei Ji was also a little helpless and said,"This old man will report this matter to the Supreme Emperor!”
Hearing this, the officials did not say anything else. They cupped their hands and walked out of the palace.
At this point, they could only wait and see what His Majesty would do. If they met with a rebuff from the five surnames and seven Wangs, perhaps there would be a turning point in this matter.
……
At this moment, when Li Er stopped the carriage and rushed to Taiji Palace, he was shocked to find that all the civil and military officials had come out of the palace. He quickly walked over to stop Pei Ji and asked,"Prime Minister Pei, why did you all come out?”
Pei Ji looked at him and said speechlessly,"The court session has ended."”
"Court?"
Li Er exclaimed.
How long had it been?
The court session is over?
I have worked so hard to drive the carriage to the Imperial Palace at the cost of speeding, but I haven't even had time to step into Taiji Palace, and you're telling me that the court session is over?
"What can this old man do about the court session that Your Majesty mentioned?”
Pei Ji sighed and said faintly,"Your Highness, I am now doubting whether the Supreme Emperor's abdication is good or bad.”
"What do you mean?" Li Er frowned.”
" The Imperial Court is in a huge deficit now," Pei Ji said seriously." We urgently need a sum of money to make up for the deficit. Does Your Highness know about this?"”
Li Er nodded slightly. His elder brother had told him about this yesterday.
What puzzled Li Er was, what did this have to do with the court?
Pei Ji continued," Your Highness the King of Qin, I've already informed His Majesty of this matter during the morning court session.”
Li Eryi was stunned. He had a bad feeling.
Did you tell Li Tai about this?
Wasn't this bad?
What did he know!
It would be fine if he didn't tell him, but if he did, what would he do?!
Li Er suppressed his uneasiness and the corners of his eyes twitched."What did His Majesty say?"
" His Majesty is going to gather the heads of the five families and seven Wangs in Chang 'an to come to the palace and ask them to donate money," Pei Ji said in a deep voice.”
Hearing this, Li Er's eyes narrowed." Would the five surnames and seven Wangs be willing to donate money? It would be fine if it was just a small amount of money, but the imperial court was currently in a huge deficit. It would probably be very difficult for them to fork out money that could make up for the urgent needs of the imperial court!”
Pei Ji sighed and said," That's where the problem lies. However, His Majesty is arbitrary!"”
Li Er suddenly understood.
He understood.
No wonder the morning court session was so fast today. So this was the problem!
Li Er nodded." I'll talk to His Majesty. This matter can't be rushed!"”
"I'm afraid it's too late!"
Pei Ji smiled bitterly,"I saw that Shen Lian has already gone outside the palace!"”
The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched. This brat, he's really arbitrary. He's too swift and decisive. I just went to stop the horse, and you did everything?!
Suddenly, footsteps sounded.
The two of them turned their heads and saw Li Yuanji supporting the pale-faced Li Jiancheng as they walked over.
Pei Ji looked at Li Jiancheng in shock and said in disbelief,""What happened to Your Highness?"
It was cut into minced meat!
Li Yuanji cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
Li Jiancheng forced himself to open his tired eyes and said weakly,"It's fine. I'm just too tired."
Pei Ji secretly clicked his tongue, but he did not dare to ask further. He cupped his hands and said,"Your Highness, you must take care of your health. This old minister will take his leave first. The Supreme Emperor is waiting for this minister to report the news.”
Li Jiancheng waved his hand. After Pei Ji left, he looked at Li Er and asked,"Looking at you, did something happen?"
Li Er said in a low voice,"Let's go to the Dew Hall first. His Majesty is there. We'll talk after we go."”
"Alright," Li Jiancheng forced a smile.”
He felt uncomfortable whenever he saw Li Tai.
He felt that this kid was asking him to chop meat again.
When the three of them arrived at the Dew Hall, Li Jiancheng saw Li Tai sitting in the hall, munching on melon seeds with relish. The discomfort became even stronger, and his limbs began to tremble. However, he still endured the discomfort and said,
"I, Li Jiancheng, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"I, Li Yuanji, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
The two stood outside the hall and bowed slightly.
Li Er looked at them in confusion. Their attitudes were a little abnormal. When did they become so respectful to Li Tai?!
