Almost all of the officials in the court felt great admiration for this youth they had never met before.
Wealth that could rival a country was right in front of him, but he could ignore it. Such breadth of mind and magnanimity were really not something that ordinary people could have!
Even Li Shi Min couldn't help but exclaim.
"If our Great Tang had more of these people, wouldn't the day of our rise be just around the corner?”
Li Shi Min's words were not directed at anyone. However, the ministers present all looked ashamed. After the founding of the Great Tang, these founding officials were the biggest benefactors other than Li Shimin.
Every household had countless fields and wealth. Compared to Zhangsun Yu, they were indeed far inferior.
Li Shi Min suddenly became interested in Zhangsun Yu and immediately said to Zhangsun Wu Ji.
"Minister Zhangsun, summon Zhangsun Yu to the palace. I want to see this Hidden Dragon.”
Li Shi Min smiled, and the ministers sighed in their hearts. From Li Shi Min's appearance, it seemed that he really liked Zhangsun Yu! This youth had never appeared before, but it seemed that he was about to become a noble figure of the Great Tang.
After all, this world belonged to Li Shiming. As long as he liked her, wouldn't it be easy to obtain power and wealth?
However, Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were embarrassed when they heard Li Shiming's words. Li Shi Min couldn't help but be curious when he saw their expressions.
"Is there something wrong?"
Zhangsun Wuji had no choice but to stand up.
"Your Majesty, I strongly invited Zhangsun Yu to Chang 'an yesterday. However, Zhangsun Yu did not seem to be interested in power and wealth.”
"He directly refused to enter Chang 'an and accept the reward. No matter how much we advised him, he was unwilling to enter Chang 'an. It was really puzzling.”
Li Shi Min frowned. Was there such a person in the world? It was fine if he did not like money. After all, he could sell cotton clothes at cost price. This Zhangsun Yu was definitely someone who did not like money.
However, he actually rejected the honor and reputation of bringing honor to his ancestors? One had to know that as long as Zhangsun Yu entered the capital and relied on creating cotton-padded clothes to resolve the cold of the people, he would at least be able to start off as a Marquis!
In reality, Zhangsun Yu really did not care about bringing honor to his ancestors. If he really had to say it, his father was the current emperor. Wasn't that enough to bring honor to his ancestors?
"This little fellow is quite an interesting person. However, the more he is like this, the more I want to see him.”
Li Shi Min smiled, but he wasn't angry. He was the founder of the Great Tang Empire. Although he was the second Emperor of the Great Tang, everyone knew that it was Li Shimin who had conquered the entire empire.
Such a legendary figure naturally wouldn't be so petty as to be angry with a twelve-year-old youth.
The ministers all sighed in their hearts. Zhangsun Yu's fortune was really good. He directly rejected His Majesty's good intentions, but His Majesty was not angry. In fact, he was even more interested.
However, what Li Shiming said next shocked them the most.
"Get ready. Minister Zhangsun and Minister Gao will accompany me to Hidden Dragon Mountain in the outskirts of Chang 'an.”
"What?"
All the courtiers exclaimed, their eyes filled with shock. Must he go to the outskirts of Chang 'an to see that young man?
What kind of talent did that youth have! He could actually make the Great Tang's Emperor pay a personal visit. What kind of glory was this?
"Your Majesty, this can't be! You are the ruler of a country. How can you lower your status to meet a mountain youth?”
An old official stood up and said. He had no intention of looking down on Zhangsun Yu, and that was the truth. Even they, the ministers, were not qualified to have His Majesty visit them personally, let alone a nameless person.
However, it was obvious that Li Shi Min had made up his mind. He waved his hand and said.
"Alright, don't try to persuade this one. Moreover, this one also wants to personally take a look at the cotton and the workshop.”
"Only when I confirm it with my own eyes will I be at ease.”
After saying that, Li Shi Min waved his hand and announced the retreat of the court. He planned to return to the harem to change his clothes. After all, he would only wear court clothes during court.
Moreover, if they went out, they would not be patrolling. Naturally, they had to keep a low profile. It was best if they could wear casual clothes.
Seeing that the Emperor had made up his mind, the ministers could only obey, even though they were helpless.
After Li Shimin returned to the harem, Empress Zhangsun also learned that Li Shimin was leaving the palace. He went to Taiji Palace and helped Li Shi Min change his clothes.
"Your Majesty, it's a pity that it's almost the end of the month, and the food in the palace is complicated. Otherwise, ChenQie would also like to follow Your Majesty to see that strange little guy.”
Empress Zhangsun smiled. But news of Zhangsun Yu's deeds had already spread throughout the upper echelons of the Great Tang.
After all, the fact that a product that transcended the era like cotton clothes was willing to sell at cost price was enough to make people admire them.
Empress Zhangsun pondered for a moment and continued.
"Your Majesty, this little fellow is only a twelve-year-old child after all. Your Majesty, don't be angry at his refusal. At this age, he could create cotton-padded clothes.”
"Presumably, the future will be no ordinary person. Perhaps it will bring even more surprises to our Great Tang?”
Li Shiming looked helpless. He had no intention of making things difficult for the child. Instead, he admired him. However, Empress Zhangsun actually took the initiative to speak to that little fellow. This was very strange.
One had to know that this fellow had never shown his face from the beginning to the end. He had only heard of her name, but he had never seen her in person. But what was her charm? There were actually so many people who had a good impression of him.
Apart from Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian, even the Empress of the Tang Empire was like this. This made Li Shimin even more interested in Zhangsun Yu.
