As an emperor, Li Shimin felt ashamed that he didn't pay for his meals. Especially when he looked at the little shopkeeper in front of him, his eyes were shining with sincerity. It was very obvious that he was trying to say,'Don't bully me because I'm a child!'
"Wait a moment, call someone." Li Shi Min came to the door and waved his hand casually. The soldiers standing guard at the Vermilion Bird Gate ran over and said something before running back…
Li Shi Min walked in again with a stack of money in his hand."Here, this is the money for the meal."
Qin Song chuckled and accepted it. In order to avoid the other party's awkwardness, he could not help but ask,"How should I address you? Was it from the palace? You seem to know the guards?"
Li Shi Min smiled and said," Yes, my surname is Li. You can call me Uncle Li. I often work in the palace, so I naturally know you."”
"No wonder. I've been on duty in the palace for the past few days. I've seen carts of gold, silver, and treasures being pulled out this morning. How can I not be tired?"
Li Shiming's good mood was ruined when he heard this…
Qin Song clearly felt his emotions. Look, harmony breeds wealth. Why is he unhappy after saying a few words?
"Uncle Li, are you worried about the event at Weishui River?”Qin Song asked.
Li Shiming was surprised," You know about the Alliance of Weishui at such a young age?”
"Haha, what alliance at the Wei River? That Turkic army is openly robbing us. The two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers are so vast that we can't see the end of them. If His Majesty didn't clean out the palace treasury and national treasury, they wouldn't withdraw.”
Li Shiming slammed his fist on the table."When has our Great Tang ever suffered such humiliation?”
Of course, Qin Song knew that the Weishui Alliance was the biggest crisis that Li Shiming had faced since he started his political career. Even if all the disasters of Zhenguan were added together, he would never be so worried or unforgettable.
Although he had ascended to the position of the Nine and Five, on the one hand, the political power of the original Crown Prince Li Jiancheng still existed. It made his already unstable position even more unstable.
On the other hand, the Turks had also attacked Chang 'an. This was the eighth time the Turks had come south to rob. Qin Song estimated that Li Shimin's palace treasury was basically as clean as his own pocket.
If the customer was unhappy, it was a problem with his service. Qin Song was still hoping to do business in exchange for points. If he was unhappy with the first customer, how was he going to do business in the future?
Well, let's talk about something that will make him happy.
Qin Song smiled and said," As the saying goes, when the wind blows the eggshell, money goes and people are happy. Why are you so angry?"
This has always been the case since ancient times. When you finish singing, I'll show up. All the major factions of the Central Plains have treated the Turks with great courtesy. When His Majesty first raised his army in Taiyuan, wasn't it also to befriend the Turks? Otherwise, what if someone raided his hometown?”
Li Shi Min looked at Qin Song,"Then our Great Tang should be like this?" Should it be trampled on? Should the people of the Great Tang be killed by the butcher's knife?”
Qin Song pointed to the palace opposite and said,""Did you see that? 'You're just angry. His Majesty inside is probably crazy with anger now. But even so, what can you do?'
Uncle Li, trust me, you must guard His Majesty well. The one who could avenge the shame of Weishui River must be His Majesty. As long as you follow him, you will have a glorious day."”
Li Shimin looked at Qin Song in surprise. How many days has it been since I ascended the throne? A shopkeeper has such expectations for me?
Sometimes, life was just so messed up. When you were disheartened, a casual sentence from someone else would give you a lot of strength. For example, the little shopkeeper in front of him actually had such high expectations for himself?
"Do you have such expectations for His Majesty? Your Majesty will definitely be able to take revenge?"
Qin Song smiled and said," You underestimate our Emperor too much. What's revenge? It wouldn't be difficult to destroy the Eastern Turks, so do you think emptying the treasury is admitting defeat? What kind of joke was that? He was just compromising.”
Seeing that there was no one around, Qin Song whispered,""Uncle Li, you don't know, do you? Li Jing led his troops south from Lingzhou to cut off the Turkic retreat, just in case the peace talks failed.
If they really failed to make peace, His Majesty would flip the table and start fighting. What throne? What life? The Great Tang was about to be destroyed, so what was the point of having the throne?
At most, they would fight to the death, so why would they let Li Jing cut off the Turkic retreat? If they really fought, they would be attacked from both sides. Even if the Great Tang were to perish, not a single Turkic would be able to return.”
A bosom friend, a bosom friend, I didn't expect such a child to actually guess my thoughts.
On second thought, there are so many officials in the imperial court, but not a single child understands me.
He looked at Qin Song excitedly and grabbed his shoulder.""How did you know? How do you know what His Majesty is thinking? You…"
Perhaps he felt that he was a little excited, so he quickly changed his words."You're just a small shopkeeper, how can you guess His Majesty's thoughts?”
Qin Song rubbed his shoulders." No wonder you can eat so many buns. You're really strong."”
Qin Song naturally couldn't say the direction of history and could only say,""You have to look at the essence of this matter through appearances. Back then, the former Crown Prince Li Jiancheng said that he wanted to move the capital and all the people away so that the Turks would have nothing to rob. Think about it carefully. Isn't this nonsense?”
"What nonsense?"
"It's just not reliable."
Li Shimin was a little stunned.
Qin Song scratched his head.”
Li Shi Min nodded." Yes, yes. The former Crown Prince's words are indeed nonsense."”
