The residence of Fang Xuanling, Duke of Liang, was located on the north side of Chang 'an, near Taiji Palace.
Li Dun looked at the decoration of the Duke of Liang's mansion. The red door was tightly shut, and the outline was magnificent. The threshold was so high that it made people dumbfounded.
In the emperor chat group.
"Why don't we find a soft persimmon to pinch?" Li Dun muttered.”
He didn't plan to look for Fang Xuanling first.
After all, Fang Xuanling's reputation in the annals of history was too high. To be called a man who plotted against his wife, the ink in his stomach was enough to drown an entire city.
If she tried to make him feel better, who knew who would be the one to make him feel better!
It was right to shoot the bird that took the lead, but the problem was that this bird was a little like a roc spreading its wings. It stood high and far away, and it was very difficult to kill it with a single shot!
Ying Zheng: " What do you mean by crushing a soft persimmon? You have to know that the first thing an emperor has to do is to kill the tiger first. When the tiger is killed, the fox below will be obedient. Do you understand?!”
"I think so too."”
"The First Emperor is right. This is the way of the Emperor!"”
"This is what I did back then!”
Nurhachi: " Group Leader, if you don't kill the tiger now, it won't be easy for you to kill it after you clean up those foxes and the tiger becomes vigilant!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were even more succinct,"Knock!"”
Li Dun pondered for a moment.
It had to be said that the suggestions given by the emperors were very correct. Zhu Yunwen did this in the past, but what was the result? The weak king's vassal was in his hands, but in the end, the emperor was no longer his.
Dong dong dong--
Following the sound of footsteps, Li Dun walked forward and knocked on the door of Fang Xuanling's mansion.
Creak ~~
As the door opened, a middle-aged steward in a purple robe and a hairpin poked half of his body out and looked at him in confusion.
"Is the Duke of Liang here?" asked Li Dun.”
The middle-aged steward sized up Li Dun and couldn't help but click his tongue. He was wearing a light golden robe, a person from the palace. He hurriedly bowed respectfully and said,
"The Duke is in the residence. Who is Langjun? Why are you looking for the Duke?”
"I am Li Dun, the Ninth Prince."
"I'm here to collect my debt!" Li Dun said with a smile.”
"What did you say?" The middle-aged manager's eyes narrowed.”
"I'm here to collect the debt!"
"No."
The middle-aged manager waved his hand and said hesitantly,""The first sentence."
"I am Li Dun, the Ninth Prince."
"One more sentence?"
"Is State Duke Liang here?"
"Not here!"
Bang!
The door slammed shut.
"..."
"When you borrow money, you're a grandson. When you pay back, you're a master.”
Looking at Fang Xuanling's tightly shut door, Li Dun was speechless. He said in the group,"The principle of gold has never changed since ancient times.”
"Now that things have come to this, let's go back first and make other plans."”
"We can't force it.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said,"I have such a bad temper. If it were me, I would have killed all nine of my relatives!"”
Nurhachi: " Borrowing money from the national treasury? Isn't it reasonable to return it?"”
Li Dun looked at the chat history in the group and said gloomily,"In other words, no one can do anything about it?”
"I don't have a way!"
Ying Zheng said,"Listen to me, go in!"”
"You have a way?" Li Dun was surprised.
Ying Zheng said,"Let's go in first!"”
Liu Bang quickly sent a message." This time, I also think that we should go in first. We're already here. If we go back, we'll lose face. If the beginning is not smooth, everything will be smooth in the future!”
"Then let's go in!" Li Dun muttered.”
Bang bang bang!
Li Dun knocked on the door of the Duke of Liang's mansion again.
The middle-aged butler opened the door again. His expression was much colder than before. He said in a disrespectful tone,"Your Highness, the Duke is really not here.”
"If he isn't here, I can't go in?”
Li Dun stood with his hands behind his back and stared at him. He said word by word,"Are you looking down on me or His Majesty?”
"What do you mean?" The middle-aged butler was stunned.”
"I'm the imperial envoy who has been ordered to collect the debt, and I represent His Majesty. I'm the Ninth Prince of the Great Tang, but you refuse to let me in. Do you know that you're disobeying the decree?”
A friendly smile appeared on Li Dun's face as he coaxed and deceived,"
"It doesn't matter if your head falls off. Do you want your Duke's head to move with you?!”
With a swoosh, the middle-aged butler's face turned pale, and his eyes flickered with a helpless light. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
"What a glib tongue!"
Suddenly, a slightly magnetic man chuckled.
Li Dun's gaze followed the direction of the voice.
A middle-aged man in a purple uniform was holding a teacup in his hand. His round face was filled with interest as he looked at him with a smile.
Duke of Liang, Fang Xuanling!
In the current court, Minister Zuo Pushe was one of the prime ministers!
Fang Xuanling walked over with steady steps. After handing the teacup to the middle-aged manager, he bowed slightly to Li Dun and said in a calm tone,
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Li Dun nodded silently.
"Please come in."
Fang Xuanling opened his palm and led Li Dun to the back of the hall. He asked the middle-aged steward to serve him and himself a pot of tea. He then placed the teapot on the table beside Li Dun and smiled while holding his beard.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?”
"I want money," said Li Dun.
Fang Xuanling's hands paused and he said with a startled expression,""So direct?"
"What else can we do? Are you trying to argue with me? If you give me the money, I'll take it back. It's good for you and good for me.”
Li Dun smiled and said in a deep voice,""Before I came, I looked at the account book. Duke Fang Liang, you don't owe much money to the national treasury, only eight thousand strings.”
"Eight thousand strings isn't much?"
"Do you have some misunderstanding?" Fang Xuanling's eyes narrowed.”
"My Great Tang currently has thirty wen to buy a bushel of rice (12.5 jin) from the eastern and western markets. One Guan money is one thousand wen, one Guan money can buy thirty-three bushels of rice, and eight thousand Guan money can buy two hundred and sixty-four thousand bushels, which is three million and three hundred thousand jin of rice!”
"An ordinary family of six in the Great Tang can eat two catties of rice a day, which is twelve catties per family. That's enough for two hundred and seventy-five thousand days and seven hundred and fifty-three years!”
"..."
[This f * cking person is trying to settle scores with me?]
Li Dun said unhappily,
"This is an ordinary family, but the Duke of Liang is the Duke of the Great Tang. How can we compare him? Does your entire residence only eat rice every day? You don't eat meat?"
Fang Xuanling sighed and shook his head.
"I don't have money, but I only have my life. Your Highness, do as you see fit. But I'm telling you, if you buy my head for 8,000 strings, aren't you afraid that the world will poke your spine?”
So you don't have any money or even your life?!
The corner of Li Dun's mouth twitched a few times. He sent a message in the chat box of the Emperor group: "What do we do now?"
"Do you see the teapot on your table?"”
"What do you mean?" asked Li Dun, stunned.
Liu Bang: " Pick it up and ask him if he'll pay. If he doesn't, smash it!”
"Who?" Li Dun frowned.
"You."
Li Dun was deep in thought. He picked up the teapot and looked at Fang Xuanling, who was taking a sip of tea, with a deep gaze. He said in a deep voice,
"Do you see this teapot? If you don't pay up, I will open my head.”
"Pfft!"
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he couldn't help but spit out the tea he had just drunk. He coughed violently and stared at Li Dun with his mouth agape. His voice trembled as he said,
"Brat, you dare to threaten me?"
