Seeing that Wei Zheng was lying on the ground without saying anything, Li Shimin asked unhappily.
"I…I'm ashamed of the Emperor, ashamed of the Great Tang, and even more ashamed of the world…"
"Minister Wei, you can't!"
" Wei Zheng, you!..."
Qin Shubao immediately jumped up and chased after Wei Zheng, but he was still one step behind Wei Zheng.
However, no one expected that Wei Zheng, who was clearly running toward the pillar, would have his head in Ye Fan's small palm.
'F * ck, you really know how to find a spot. There are so many pillars in the hall, but you chose to hit the one beside me…'
Ye Fan secretly ridiculed Wei Zheng in his heart and then let go of Wei Zheng.
" Lord Wei, why are you doing this? It's just 120 strings of money. If you don't have it now, I can send someone to collect it in a few days. There's no need to seek death like this. The Emperor is watching…"
Li Er, who was on the dragon throne, was indeed watching, but he was looking at Ye Fan.
Wei Zheng's charge just now had even caused Qin Shubao, who was skilled in martial arts and had been fighting all year round, to make a mistake. However, Ye Fan could easily block it. This Ye Fan was indeed not an ordinary person.
Li Shimin was looking at Ye Fan, and Qin Shubao behind Wei Zheng was also looking at Ye Fan.
Wei Zheng's body was at least 160 pounds. If a 160-pound person went all out, Qin Shubao thought that he could block it, but he wouldn't be as casual as Ye Fan. It was as easy as catching an egg.
Qin Shubao and Fang Xuanling walked over and pulled Wei Zheng, who was still in a daze, back to his original position. Then, they quietly waited for Li Shimin's decision.
The hall was silent. Li Shi Min looked at Ye Fan with uncertainty, thinking about his own thoughts.
However, Ye Fan still had a smiling expression and a high attitude as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Ahem…"
Li Shiming cleared his throat on the dragon throne and looked at the dispirited Wei Zheng, then at Ye Fan.
"Minister Wei, Ye Fan has contributed the method of making salt to the Great Tang and saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Longyou, but Ye Fan doesn't want a title or a reward.”
"To know righteousness at such a young age is the blessing of our Great Tang.”
"So, this one hundred and twenty strings, zhen will give it to you.”
Hearing Li Shimin's words, the dispirited Wei Zheng became even more frustrated.
Who was Li Shimin? He could choose a thousand virtuous officials for the Great Tang. He could spend a lot of money to repair the irrigation works for the people. He could treat money like dirt, as long as the country was prosperous and the people were safe.
However!
The people around Li Shiming were very clear about his personality, especially those important ministers who had followed him since the time of the King of Qin.
Li Shi Min could give you a promotion and a thousand acres of land, but he would never clean up anyone's mess…
Today, Li Shiming actually said that he wanted to clean up Wei Zheng's mess. This was undoubtedly putting Wei Zheng on fire.
Those who knew Li Shiming were thinking about the meaning behind his words, such as Fang Xuanling and Qin Shubao, and Wei Zheng, who was panicking and trying to figure out a solution.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject is guilty. This humble subject deserves to die. This humble subject was muddle-headed and forgot to bring enough money, causing such a big joke. Your Majesty, please allow this humble subject to borrow a guard to go home and get the money…"
Wei Zheng kowtowed and begged Li Shimin to agree.
"Go home and get it? Minister Wei, do you have 120 strings of silver?”
Li Shi Min narrowed his eyes and asked unhappily.
"Your Majesty, the weather has been good these few years, the people are healthy, and the harvest is good. This lowly official has saved up a few hundred strings of land rent money. This one hundred and twenty strings is still affordable, Your Majesty…"
Helpless, Wei Zheng could only reveal some of his secrets.
With Li Shi Min's order, the guards outside the hall left in a hurry.
After arranging Wei Zheng, Li Shimin began to think about Ye Fan. He looked at the young man who was able to deal with things with ease and had amazing martial arts skills. Li Shimin was very curious.
Li Shi Min asked calmly.
"Replying to the emperor, the Phoenix Cry Yard is this boy's property, and it is also the method of making a living that my father and mother left for this boy before they died.”
Ye Fan answered loudly, but he stopped Li Shiming from asking further questions.
"Ye Fan, do you know that you are the first person in China to dare to ask the minister for a debt of love in the palace hall for thousands of years? You are really interesting, hehe…"
"You're so smart and capable at such a young age. You also have guts. Kid, did someone teach you behind your back?”
As he spoke, Li Shiming glared at them with a dignified expression. The aura of a king filled the hall, causing Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Qin Shubao, and the others to feel fear in their hearts.
After a long time, this sentence was the main point.
"Replying to the emperor, this boy is self-taught. There is no teacher behind him, and no one to guide him.”
"Oh? Don't you have any teachers?"
Li Shi Min asked in surprise. He was unwilling to believe it, but when he saw Ye Fan's confident expression, he had no choice but to believe it.
Outside the hall, a guard reported respectfully.
Li Shi Min was about to ask a few more questions when he heard a hurried report from outside the hall.
Li Shi Min was very surprised and hurriedly announced.
The plump Tang Jian, who had probably rushed all the way from the Chamberlain of Dependencies to the Imperial Palace, was now pale and covered in sweat.
"Beloved minister, please stand up. Beloved minister, are you here for something important?”
Looking at Tang Jian's expression, Li Shimin noticed something.
"Emperor, please step back. This matter is extremely important.”
Tang Jian glanced at Ye Fan and said in a low voice.
"Yes, Ye Fan, that kid, you go first. The money is outside the Vermilion Bird Palace. You can take it with you if you go out and say so.”
After Ye Fan left, Tang Jian bowed to Li Shimin again.
"Reporting to the emperor, the nephew of the Turkic Jie Li Khan, Tuli Khan, has secretly sent an envoy to visit. I've hidden him in the Honglu Temple, and the envoy has brought a message from Tuli Khan, saying that it can only be heard by the emperor.”
"That's why I hurried over to report to the Emperor…"
"Could it be that Tuli sent an envoy to…?”
Li Shi Min pondered for a moment, then carefully took back the second half of his sentence.
Looking at Wei Zheng who was still kneeling, Li Shimin shook his head.
"Minister Wei, get up. Shu Bao, send someone to secretly investigate this Ye Fan kid these two days. I keep feeling that this kid is not simple.”
"Yes, sir!"
Qin Shubao accepted the order.
" As for the envoy of Tuli, since he's here, he's a guest. Minister Fang, please take him around for the next two days to see the prosperous Tang Empire and get some information from him…"
"Yes, emperor, this lowly official will do my best.”
Fang Xuanling knelt down to receive the edict. He knew what Li Shimin meant.
