However, no matter how the officials guessed, Li Shimin did not say anything more.
"Then after the court session ends, everyone can go to the Ministry of Works to look for him.”
Li Shiming left after giving his orders.
At the same time, rumors about Li You quickly spread.
In the hearts of countless factions in the imperial court, the weight of the title of King Chu seemed to have to be reevaluated!
……
Li You, who was in the Chu royal residence, did not expect that the heated brick bed that he had casually made to satisfy his needs would be made such a big deal by Li Shimin.
In truth, Li Shiming had not made any big moves, but he was the ruler of the Great Tang, the person at the peak of the empire. His every word and action could shake the entire empire!
Therefore, Li Shi Min's casual mention was enough to stir up the undercurrents of countless forces!
At this moment, Imperial Attendant Zhao stepped in and found Li You with a smile on his face.
" Your Highness King Chu, congratulations!"
"Imperial Attendant Zhao?"
Li You was stunned. He had just met this servant who had been with Li Shimin all year round in the morning. He didn't know why he had suddenly come to find him alone.
"What joy?"
"I came with the reward from His Majesty, a total of 8,000 strings of money. This is a supreme grace!"”
" Eight thousand strings…" Li You calculated in his heart." That's equivalent to eight hundred taels of gold!”
After calculating, Li You's eyes immediately lit up!
He had never seen so much gold in his previous life!
"I'm really sorry for saying that you're stingy before!”Li You was still apologizing to Li Shimin in his heart.
At the same time, Li You was all smiles." Thank you for escorting me here personally, chamberlain Zhao. How about it? Do you want to come in and have a cup of tea?"”
"I appreciate your kindness, Your Highness, but I still have to reply to Your Majesty, so I'll take my leave first."”
"Sure, sure."
Li You instructed his men to move the eight thousand strings of money into the house and went in to count the money happily.
Imperial Attendant Zhao looked at Li You's back, his gaze deep.
"I didn't expect that out of all the princes, His Royal Highness King Chu would receive the most rewards. His Royal Highness King Chu really has hidden his talents.”
Attendant Zhao, who had been by Li Shiming's side for many years, knew very well that this reward was originally only available to the Crown Prince and the King of Yue. Now, not only could Li You interfere in the distribution of the reward, but he could also deduct the most from the Crown Prince and the King of Yue. This was an incredible matter!
At the same time that Li You received the reward, Crown Prince Li Chengqian and King of Yue Li Tai also received six thousand strings of money each.
In the Eastern Palace.
"Why is it only six thousand strings? The information that I received should be Wanguan!”
After Li Chengqian saw the reward list, he could not help but reveal anger.
This was completely different from what he had heard!
As the Crown Prince that had been decided long ago, and he even had a crown last year, Li Chengqian could be said to have gathered thousands of halos on himself. Naturally, someone had received the news in advance and informed Li Chengqian.
After all, this was the future Crown Prince, and it was almost certain. Only a fool would not hurry to curry favor with him.
However, it was also because of this that Li Chengqian had been anticipating Wanguan's reward. Now that he saw that there was only slightly more than half of the 6,000 strings left, the huge difference in expectations caused him to be unable to accept it!
"Speak! Did you guys get greedy?!"
After being scolded by Li Chengqian, the face of the chamberlain who came over turned pale with fear."Your Highness, please understand! Even if this subordinate ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, he would not dare to take out an item that was bestowed by His Majesty!”
"Then tell me, why is there so much less?" Li Chengqian said irritably.”
"This…This is because His Majesty changed the distribution of rewards yesterday. He took out 8,000 strings of strings from you and His Highness the King of Yue and rewarded them to His Highness the King of Chu."”
"King Chu?" Li Chengqian was stunned." That useless brother of mine, Li You?”
Li Chengqian's words did not hide his disdain, and the chamberlain could only look down and pretend not to hear anything.
"How is this possible? Why is this happening?"
Li Chengqian's expression was gloomy and uncertain. He really could not understand. In the past, Li You was only the one with the worst reputation among the princes. He only knew how to hunt and play, and also made friends with villains everywhere. How could he compare with him, the Crown Prince who had long settled in the Eastern Palace?
It could be said that the matter of being brothers with Li You even made Li Chengqian feel ashamed!
As someone who had become Crown Prince at the age of eight, Li Chengqian had been instilled with the idea that he would definitely be the Emperor when he grew up. He had always believed this deeply, so his arrogance was hard to imagine.
In Li Chengqian's view, the only person who could threaten him was his beloved younger brother, Li Tai.
But Li You?
Who was he?
"Even my younger brother, Li Zhi, who is also a legitimate son, didn't get a share of the reward this time!”Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said," What ability does Li You have? Not only can he barge in, but he also gets the biggest share?!”
"This subordinate doesn't know…"
The chamberlain replied in fear. The horseshoes had not been made yet, so only Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, and chamberlain Zhao knew about it.
"Right, it must be because he went to Imperial Father to slander him!”
Suddenly, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, thinking that he had found the answer.
If he thought about it carefully, this was a distribution of benefits that only belonged to him and Li Tai. Even the other princes were not qualified to participate, so how could the most incompetent Li You break into it?
There was only one answer-Li You must have run to his father and slandered him, causing his father to have no choice but to add Li You in to show fairness. He must also give Li You the highest reward to appease him!
"Alright, this Li You…he's really capable. He dares to attack my things!”
After coming up with a sufficient reason, Li Chengqian was already completely certain of this, and a trace of ruthlessness could not help but flash in his eyes.
"Looks like it's time to go out and see how capable my younger brother is now!”
