Within the Dew Palace.
Li Er looked at Li Dun's lowered head and didn't know that he was looking at the chat records in the group. He only thought that he was hesitating and in a difficult position. He comforted him softly,
"Don't worry, ever since you were born, I've made all the necessary preparations for you. This time, I'm going to ask all the civil and military officials to pay you back.”
"What preparations?" Li Dun asked suspiciously.”
He didn't believe Li Er's nonsense now. What he said was all nonsense. Other than hurting his heart, it was useless.
"You are my prince, this is the preparation!" Li Er said with a solemn expression.”
"..."
As expected, she was prepared from birth.
Li Dun was speechless. He didn't know which angle to refute from. This answer was simply impeccable.
The meaning of Li Shiming's words was very simple.'You are a prince, and you have pierced a hole in the sky. No one in the world dares to say anything except for my father.' However, it also hinted at one thing.
"In other words…"
"Just me alone this time?" Li Dun sighed.”
Li Er nodded and said seriously,
"It's not good to have too many people. It's easy to be remembered. You're a prince, so no one dares to do anything overboard to you. But if there are people beside you, won't the civil and military officials of the court throw their anger on them?”
"So this time, we'll have to rely on your ability.”
"If you succeed, I will confer you the title of king!”
Li Er's expression was cold as he said firmly,""With such merit, who dares to obstruct my decision? I'll chop off his head!”
"What if it can't be completed?" asked Li Dun hesitantly.”
Li Er was speechless.
Soon, Li Er said meaningfully,""You can't. You're my son. Why would I kill you? At most, I will apologize to all the civil and military officials in the court and leave a dirty mark in the history books. It's not a big deal.”
You can continue to hurt my heart.
Li Dun couldn't help but roll his eyes. He couldn't be bothered with him anymore. He took the list and turned to leave the Dew Palace.
Li Er stared at his back as it gradually disappeared. He did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Only Li Er was left in the huge Dew Hall. Guardian Si closed the door and appeared beside him at the right time. With a hunched back, he said in a low voice,
"Your Majesty, does the Ninth Prince understand your painstaking efforts?”
"When the time comes, he will naturally know.”
Li Er let out a long breath and picked up the bowl of warm medicine soup. He took a sip and said softly,"
"This time, I didn't think that they would be able to complete it. I only wanted the princes to experience it. I originally wanted all the princes to do it together, but I didn't expect them to make excuses and refuse. They don't understand my painstaking efforts at all. Only this child, Li Dun, can understand my intentions.”
Si Shoushou looked at him strangely. No matter how he looked at it, this matter seemed to have been forced by him. Li Dun didn't seem to want to be the imperial envoy at all. You wanted to imprison him and blame him for smearing his reputation. Who could stop you from talking?
"After this matter, give Li Dun the title of King.”
Suddenly, Li Er's palm paused and he said casually,""With this experience, no one can stop me.”
Becoming a king was a huge matter.
It was not easy to do it perfectly.
Especially since Li Dun was the illegitimate son of the Great Tang royal family. If someone were to use this matter to hinder him, he might not be able to be conferred the title of king so easily.
However, with the experience of the debt collection imperial envoy.
Whoever dared to stop him, Li Er would dare to twist their heads off and hang them on the city wall.
————
The next morning, morning court.
The matter of demanding the debt from the national treasury from all the civil and military officials instantly blew up the entire court. What was even more unbelievable was that the imperial envoy this time was actually the illegitimate son of the imperial family, the Ninth Prince, Li Dun!
After the morning court session, Li Shiming went to the harem to recuperate. The officials returned home with ugly expressions.
Lu Guogong Mansion.
"Money? What money? No money!"
Cheng Yaojin roared angrily,""This old man has shed so much blood for the Great Tang and played with my life so many times, and I only owe him the size of a fingernail. Forget about that illegitimate son, even if His Majesty came, this old man would still say one thing: I have no money! The money has already gone into my stomach. If you have the ability, dig out my stomach!”
Duke Wei's mansion.
Li Jing stood in the courtyard, stroking his goatee as he looked at the sky with a deep gaze. He suddenly opened his mouth and said to the steward,"Go and tidy up the mansion."
"Duke, it's already cleaned up." The steward was stunned.”
Li Jing slowly lowered his chin and stared at him, saying,""Clean up this old man's mess. Do you want others to see that this old man's family is rich?”
The manager was speechless.
Yi Country Duke's residence.
"Duke, you can't!"
The elderly steward hugged Qin Qiong's waist as he cried bitterly, not allowing him to lead the horse out of the mansion with a livid face. He cried out loudly,
"This is the only horse left in our mansion. This is a precious horse that the Duke left for himself to fight on the battlefield in the future.”
" How can I pay back if I don't sell it?!"
Qin Qiong's fair face was filled with anger as he roared,""Which damn bastard came up with this rotten idea to make all the officials pay back the money? I sold horses back then, and I can still sell them now!!”
————
Just as the entire court was about to explode…
Early in the morning, Li Dun was wearing his usual pale golden robe, carrying the imperial edict of appointment that had been personally delivered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs last night. He walked out of the palace with a helpless expression.
His first stop was the Duke of Liang's Fang Xuanling residence.
