Hearing Sun Fujia's words, Du Ruhui lowered his head and pondered. After a long time, he said in a low voice,
"Indeed. If it was him, it would be difficult to pay back the money.”
"What are you talking about?"
At this moment, a surprised voice sounded outside the Ministry of Revenue.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man around the age of fourteen. He wore a light golden robe and his long black hair was tied up behind his head. He had a sunny and noble aura as he walked in.
Sun Fujia, who was wearing a red official robe, quickly stood up and bowed slightly to him.
"Vice Minister of Revenue Sun Fujia greets Your Highness the Ninth Prince!”
The officials of the Ministry of Revenue reacted and hurriedly bowed.
"Minister of Revenue Liu Mang greets Your Highness the Ninth Prince!”
"Xu Tao, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, greets Your Highness the Ninth Prince!”
"Zhao Xu, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, greets Your Highness the Ninth Prince!”
……
Li Dun nodded silently. He then glanced at the others, telling them not to stand on ceremony. Then, he turned his gaze to the chief seat.
A middle-aged man with a thin beard and a sickly pale face was sitting there. He was wearing a purple robe.
This was the Ninth Prince, Li Dun?
At this moment, Du Ruhui was also staring at the noble young man in front of him. He couldn't help but wonder if the news he had heard was true.
Everyone said that Li Dun was a little fox who was good at attacking the heart.
However, at this moment, he was clearly righteous, his eyes were bright, and his facial features were handsome. He could not be associated with those who liked to play dirty!
Du Ruhui came back to his senses and quickly stood up. He walked out from behind the black table and bowed to Li Dun in surprise. He said in admiration,
"Minister of Revenue Du Ruhui greets Your Highness the Ninth Prince!”
"There's no need for this. As the imperial envoy, I came to take a look and see how many people still owe the court money.”
Li Dunxu held his arms and made him straighten up. He shook his head and said,
"You are the Minister of Revenue of the Great Tang, and you are already giving me face by bowing to me. Why do you still have to bow so deeply?”
Hearing this, Du Ruhui's good impression of him increased greatly, and the sincere smile on his face also increased.
"Your Highness deserves this gift. If it weren't for Your Highness, the Ministry of Revenue that this old man is working for wouldn't be able to hold on.”
"Furthermore, I would like to ask Your Highness for another favor.”
Help? Li Dun was stunned."
"What I can help you with is nothing more than the matter of recovering the debt. You can say this because you are afraid that I will think that this matter is like taking chestnuts from the fire and give up halfway? Who is he?"
The Ninth Prince was a dragon among men!
Du Ruhui became more and more emotional. If anyone dared to say that the Ninth Prince was ignorant, he would be the first to smash their brains open. Was the prince an ignorant person?!
"Minister of Personnel, Zhangsun Wuji!”
"Why didn't he pay me back?"
Li Dun had heard of Zhangsun Wuji's name before. He was the god who led the compilation of the Tang Law, but that was another matter. He hesitated and said,
"It's only right and proper to pay for a life and a debt. If he doesn't pay, what does he want?”
"This person has the confidence to not return the money."
"He is Empress Zhangsun's elder brother. Just this alone is enough."”
"How much does he owe?" Li Dun asked.”
Du Ruhui raised his finger and gestured."777,700 strings!"
" Seven seven??"
"He wants to be arranged so badly?"”
Arrange?
Du Ruhui didn't quite understand what he meant. He shook his head and continued,"
" In Chang 'an City of the Tang Empire, I'm looking for a good house in a market. It's only 600 strings of money. The money that Minister Zhangsun owes the court is enough to buy 1,300 houses in Chang' an City!”
After all, he was the Minister of Revenue. The example was simple and crude, and the key was that it went straight to the heart.
"We can't not pay him back just because he's the Empress 'brother.”
"I'm here to ask for the money." Li Dun shook his head.”
"How does Your Highness intend to take it?"
Du Ruhui said solemnly,
"His Highness 'martial arts are like Duke Lu's three axes. The first axe is to ruin his reputation, the second axe is to use your fists and kicks, and the third axe is to damage his reputation.”
"If it's someone else, yes."
"But only this person, Your Highness, can't do it!”
"If you damage Minister Zhangsun's reputation, you will be embarrassing the Empress. If you embarrass the Empress, you will be embarrassing His Majesty. If you embarrass His Majesty, you will be embarrassing the entire Imperial Family.”
"Therefore, if Your Highness wants to get back the money you owe, you can't use these three methods!”
————
They left the Ministry of Revenue and headed to the Imperial Palace.
Li Dun fell into deep thought. He had always felt that he was very good at using the Three Axes, but he did not expect to encounter such a tough opponent.
If he couldn't do it, he wouldn't be able to get the money!
In the emperor chat group.
Li Dun: " Emperors, this Zhangsun Wuji is a tough nut to crack. He won't listen to persuasion or coercion. How should we deal with him?”
Ying Zheng replied,[I have a good idea,@ Liu Bang.]”
Zhao Kuangyin was speechless.
"..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Nurhachi was speechless.
"..."
Liu Bang was speechless. Brother Zheng, why are you so smart?"
Ying Zheng: [(*^▽^*) You have so many dirty ideas. Give the group leader an idea!]”
This was really a good idea. Lee Dun did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he had to admit that Ying Zheng had used this Ait very well.
Li Dun was a little curious about what Han Gaozu would come up with.
Liu Bang: " Actually, this isn't difficult. If you want to achieve your goal, you have to rope in a group of people and suppress a group of people. In this matter, everyone has returned the money to the court except Zhangsun Wuji. What do you think everyone will think? Even if he was a relative of the royal family and an official of the same dynasty, how could others not pay him back?”
" I think I have an idea."”
"What is it?" Liu Bang asked curiously.
Li Dun announced his method in the group chat.
Liu Bang was speechless. You brat…"
"This is really…"
"Isn't this method a little…"
"I don't know what to say."”
"You're too…"
The five emperors didn't say anything, as if they didn't know how to evaluate Li Dun's method.
Ying Zheng: "[O `Д O], all of you are stuttering. If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't dare to say it, just say it. Group leader, you are so evil!”
Ding dong, Ying Zheng was muted for five minutes!
