Li Shiming was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a thing before. Why did he conclude that there were so many things wrong with him?
The domineering aura that he had originally displayed suddenly weakened by a few degrees. He did not know how to speak.
"You, this, zhen, hmph!" Li Shi Min didn't know what to say for a long time. Finally, he snorted and said,"It's good that you know you're wrong. I won't argue with a child like you. Remember to do a good job. I will definitely reward you well.”
Li You almost laughed out loud. My father, you're amazing. Your showy operation is also 666.
You make it sound like I was apologizing to you just now, but that's not the case at all.
However, Li You could understand Li Shimin.
However, I am his son after all. I can't let my father admit defeat in front of his son.
This king can understand that you are a little tsundere. This time, I will cooperate with you and become an actor.
"Who do you want?" Li Shi Min asked with a frown.
"One is your son's future father-in-law, Minister of State Wei Ting, Lord Wei. The other one was General Cheng Zhijie.”Li You smiled." As for Lord Ma Zhou, you need to temporarily cooperate with me. After all, negotiations with the aristocratic families require accurate data to grasp the direction of the matter. Lord Ma Zhou is indispensable.”
Li You was right. Ma Zhou was the only one who had really helped him. Although Ma Zhou had not shown his abilities yet, he would be a big shot in the future. He could use his connections now in the future.
Wei Ting was his future father-in-law. This time, he had made such a huge contribution to the aristocratic family. No matter what, he had to give his father-in-law some benefits. Just treat it as a part of the betrothal gift. Who asked you to have such a cute daughter?
As for Cheng Zhijie, that idiot, hehe, of course, he would be used to take the blame.
If he made any mistakes, he would get this old man out. He was an old scoundrel anyway, and Li Shiming couldn't do anything to him.
"Yes, planning ahead and being meticulous. You're indeed a person who does things.”Li Shi Min was full of praise and said with a smile,"Since that's the case, This Emperor will allow it. The matter of refined salt is the top priority of the Great Tang. Give people, give people, give money, give power, give power. This Emperor fully supports you!”
Li Shimin was also afraid of being poor. Later generations only said that Li Shimin was an emperor through the ages. Zhenguan was prosperous, and the people were happy.
In fact, what he did not know was how difficult it was to be in charge and how low the feasibility of this Zhenguan prosperous era was.
Although there had indeed been a time when the Tibetans had come to court, it had been more than ten years since then. The Great Tang was still in dire straits. The war with the Eastern Turks had drained the country's energy, and it simply couldn't afford another war. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to tolerate the Tibetans so much. Just look at Li Shiming's temper; he was a man who would fight without hesitation.
Li Shimin would never forget the oppression that the Tibetans had given him, so it was easy to imagine his desire for money.
"Father is awesome. Your son will definitely bring the news of victory to you and make the national treasury rich. We can fight whoever we want!”Li You said arrogantly, causing Li Shi Min to be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Zhen really doesn't know from whom you learned to be so unruly.”Li Shi Min looked at Li You lovingly and patted his shoulder,"You 'er, you have great talent, so don't hide it. The Great Tang is currently in a state of turmoil. Although it has some foundation, it is still not stable enough.”
" Yes, don't worry, Father." Li You nodded earnestly." Your son will definitely take the prosperity of the Great Tang as his duty. I will strive to pour my blood into the mountains and rivers of the Great Tang and unleash all my strength!"”
Anyway, he didn't need to spend any money on stimulants. If he said more cheap words, Li Shimin might be able to give him a lot of rewards if he was touched. How cost-effective.
As expected, although Li Shimin still found it hard to digest Li You's way of speaking, his complexion was clearly much better. He turned to look at Wei Qingqing.
"You're Wei Qingqing, Wei Ting's daughter?”Li Shi Min asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I am Wei Qingqing.”Wei Qingqing bowed and replied in a very appropriate manner.
Wei Qingqing smiled and didn't say anything. Li Shimin was obviously joking. Wei Qingqing was very smart, so how could she not tell? However, as a junior, it wasn't appropriate to say anything at this time. It was better not to say anything, so Wei Qingqing chose to remain silent.
"Yes, beautiful on the outside and intelligent on the inside.”Seeing that Wei Qingqing was also very satisfied, Li Shimin turned around and instructed Concubine Yin,""Get the imperial kitchen to prepare some pastries from the palace, then get Qingqing to bring them back. Consider it a little token of my appreciation to my future in-law.”
Li Chengqian's face in the Crown Prince's residence was dark, and his expression was frighteningly gloomy.
"Mr. Zhao, I believed in your plan, but it ended up like this.”Li Chengqian suppressed his anger and said," This phrase not only made Li You stand out, but it also resolved the conflict between Father and the Retired Emperor. He even gained Father's favor. I heard that Li You was even put in charge of entrusting the sale of refined salt to aristocratic families. Do you know what this means?!"”
How could this not be clear? A prince's involvement in government affairs meant that he had the ability to participate in politics and Li Shimin's tacit approval of the qualifications to participate in government affairs.
Regardless of whether Li You was qualified to inherit the throne in the end, he could still develop a force in the court and even be powerful enough to resist him.
"I also didn't expect that this Li You actually had such ability.”"I miscalculated this time." Zhao Jie smiled bitterly. But now was not the time for the Crown Prince to be calculative. He was thinking about how to get this job into the Crown Prince's hands.”
"Hmph, what else can we do now?”Li Chengqian sneered." This idea was originally thought of by Li You. The method of refining refined salt was also his handiwork. Even if I went to tell Father, Father would not agree.”
"Of course it's not feasible for the Crown Prince to go and speak." "But Crown Prince, have you forgotten that we still have a key move that can change His Majesty's decision?" Zhao Jie said with a wicked smile. His Majesty had always listened to the Empress.”
