The ministers were instantly embarrassed and speechless towards Li You.
Big brother, we are all big shots. Why are you still afraid that we will renege on our debts? You actually blocked the entrance of the Golden Palace and asked for debts.
"Cough cough, King Qi, if you don't return, we'll talk about the bet another day.”Li Shi Min said awkwardly.
"Imperial Father, this won't do." Li You said with a very serious expression,"As the saying goes, you can't owe gambling debts. Since we made the bet in the Golden Hall, we should fulfill the bet in the Golden Hall as well. Moreover, it should be done sooner rather than later. What if someone reneges on the bet after we leave here? Not to mention impossible, just take Lord Zhangsun as an example. He was so smart, and your son was really worried. He was afraid that he would be deceived. After all, your son was young and did not understand many things. There were many bad people who did not know either. It was never wrong to be careful.”
Zhangsun Wuji was so angry that his beard was trembling. Li You, you bastard, you're too much of a bully. Of all the people you could have used as an example, why did you have to use me as an example?
Looking at these people who had always been at odds with this old man, they took the opportunity to make fun of him. Where do you want this old man to put his face?
"In that case, pay up.”Li Shi Min was speechless and turned his head away. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Hehe, Lord Zhangsun, in order to prevent others from misunderstanding, you should be the first to pay.”Li You smiled." It just so happens that you were the first to place your bet yesterday. The beginning and end of the bet complement each other. It will definitely be a good story in the future."”
'My good story is your brother-in-law. This is clearly a scam, and he still can't settle down.' Zhangsun Wuji was furious.
"I don't have any cash on me, so I'll write it down first and send it to the Qi Imperial Residence later.”Zhangsun Wuji said unhappily.
"Sigh, this won't do." Li You shook his head and smiled." Although Lord Zhangsun is a big shot and I naturally trust him, there is no such rule to say that a single empty word is worth a hundred strings of money." Why don't you write an IOU? I'll pay you back after you pay up.”
Zhangsun Wuji stared at Li You's smiling face. In the end, he tried his best to restrain his impulse and wrote down an IOU for Li You.
Li You sneered. Since you chose to be my enemy, you should be prepared to be played by me.
After Zhangsun Wuji finished writing the IOU, the rest of the people started to write their IOU. After all, no one would bring hundreds of strings of money to court.
"Hehe, Your Highness King Qi, Old Cheng won money. Are you planning to write an IOU or give him cash?”Cheng Zhijie said with a smile, looking as if he was the one who had been humiliated.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the other civil officials who had written the IOU all looked at Li You with schadenfreude.
We've been writing IOUs for a long time and we've lost all our face. Now it's finally your turn.
"Oh, don't worry, General Cheng. This king won't forget.”Li You smiled as he took out a few IOU and said," This is Lord Zhangsun's, this is Lord Fang's, and these are the promissory notes that those civil officials lost to me. It's just enough to offset our debt. You can ask them for more.“
This old hooligan has become our debt-holder. He's going to taunt us to death!
"Haha, Your Highness King Qi is very kind. Old Cheng is very satisfied.”Cheng Zhijie didn't expect Li You to do this, but he was very satisfied.
As soon as Li Shi Min finished speaking, the officials were once again shocked. Listening to court affairs was a privilege that even Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince, did not have. What was the Emperor doing?
Could it be that Li You had summoned Wei Zheng back, so this honor was given to him?
Only Zhangsun Wuji's eyes gradually turned cold. This old man's guess was correct. King Qi was the biggest obstacle to Li Tai becoming the Crown Prince.
"Minister Wei, I am very curious. What exactly did Li You say to move you and make you return to the court as an official?”"I don't think it's just me," Li Shimin said with a smile."The entire court should be curious."”
The ministers nodded. Although Wei Zheng's appearance meant that they had lost, even if they lost, they still had to figure it out. Now, they were still confused about how Wei Zheng persuaded them to come back.
"The Duke of Zhou feared the rumors, and Wang Mang was humble before he usurped the throne. If he had died at that time, who would know the truth of his life?”Wei Zheng smiled and said,"King Qi wrote this poem, and then I had no choice but to return." This subject congratulates Your Majesty. King Qi is truly a heaven-sent talent!”
Many officials were baffled. This poem was indeed good and insightful, but what did it have to do with Wei Zheng's return?
Of course, people with mediocre aptitudes wouldn't have high official positions, but Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were different.
Like Wei Zheng, they understood the mysteries of the mechanism very well. They couldn't help but look at Li You, who looked relaxed. If that was really the case, then Li You was too terrifying.
"Haha, good, good, good. Li You, you've really made this one proud. Now, this one can be considered to be willing to give you this Azure Stallion.”Li Shimin smiled and said,"Go down and lead the horse."”
As a father, of course, he was happy that his son had made a name for himself.
Li You thanked him and left. Along the way, he could feel the complicated gazes of the officials. From today onwards, they would have to face this king and feel the fear that this king brought.
After receiving the reward from the system, Li You happily went to the Imperial Steed Bureau to lead the green stallion.
"Your Highness King Qi, you truly are favored by His Majesty. His Majesty has taken a liking to this azure stallion, and even the Crown Prince and the King of Wei are reluctant to give it to you.”The chamberlain said enviously and ordered someone to lead the green stallion out of the stable.
"Does Imperial Father like this Azure Stallion very much? Then this king really can't take away what others love.”Li You rolled his eyes and smiled."Forget it, I'll leave a memory for Imperial Father.”
The chamberlain and the horse guard did not know what Li You was going to do and watched curiously.
As for Li You, he chose to learn 3D naked eye painting skills. He then ordered someone to bring over the paint tools and began to paint in the stable of the blue stallion.
After the time for an incense stick to burn, the chamberlain and the bailiff were shocked. A green stallion stood in front of them again. They couldn't tell that it was painted at all. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't move, they would really think that it was a living horse.
"Help me tell my father this is a small token to comfort his longing for the Azure Stallion!”Li You said with a smile. He jumped onto his horse and galloped away!
PS: I need to make up for my leave. I'm feeling really uncomfortable today, so I need to take a leave. From tomorrow onwards, there will be six updates for four consecutive days. I need to make up for the updates that I owe. Sorry, it's really uncomfortable
