The real situation was more serious than Li Chengqian and Li Gang had imagined.
This person in a red robe was called Qin Jie, and he was the Crown Prince's horse-washing official. This person was in charge of the Crown Prince Residence's external intelligence.
He took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and explained everything he had heard.
Li You had perfectly solved the plan of the Great Tang Bank! All officials who did not have enough money to buy shares could borrow money from him to buy shares!
Li You had been conferred the title of President of the Great Tang Bank by Second Emperor Li. He would arrange his own officials according to the six ministries!
Li You received the permission of His Majesty Li Er to set up four guards!
Li You had received a promise from His Majesty Li Er that he could make a request that did not violate the law!
Wei Ting was conferred the title of Fuyang Marquis!
Also, both parties had agreed that they would return to King Qi's mansion half a month later to taste the wine!
"Your Majesty, you…you're so muddle-headed!”
With Li Gang's knowledge and cultivation, it was impossible for him to speak ill of Second Emperor Li in public.
But now, he really couldn't take it anymore!
Indeed, the officials who had borrowed Li You's money would not be coerced by others to do anything that would bend the law for personal gain.
However, it was still an objective fact that he had taken advantage of others!
If Li You wanted to be the Crown Prince, who would have the nerve to object?
In this matter, Second Emperor Li benefited, Li You benefited, and the officials of the imperial court benefited. The only one who truly suffered was Crown Prince Li Chengqian!
At most…he would be included!
Isn't the Crown Prince too unlucky?
Why was his luck so bad?
And most importantly, Li You was conferred the title of president of the Imperial Bank of Taitang and could arrange officials at all levels.
How could this be?
It turned out that Li You was a prince and Li Chengqian was the crown prince. They looked similar, but the difference in their actual power was too great.
The number of officials in the Crown Prince's Residence was three times that of the Prince's Residence. Their ranks were even higher, and their quality was also much higher.
For example, he was famous all over the world decades ago. Now, he was the Crown Prince's junior teacher. His rank was from the first grade, higher than many prime ministers. He also had the Crown Prince's guests. In addition, there were also Crown Prince guests, Minister Tai Chang, and Crown Prince Zhan Shi in the Eastern Palace. These three third-grade high officials were all elites among the people.
Where was King Qi Li You's chief historian, Xue Dading? He was only Rank-4, about the same as Qin Jie. There were more than a dozen officials like Qin Jie in the Eastern Palace.
But now, the Great Tang Royal Bank had set up officials according to the size of the six ministries. No matter how many subordinates the Crown Prince had, they couldn't compare to the six departments!
The guards in the residence were even more sad. It turned out that the Crown Prince had five thousand, while Li You had two hundred. The difference was like the difference between heaven and earth. This was great. Li You's guards immediately became two thousand. Compared to the Crown Prince's troops, they were no longer at a disadvantage!
Thinking about the wealth of the Tang Bank after its development, even if it leaked a little from the cracks of his fingernails, he didn't know how many people he could buy.
Fighting with such a huge force was truly despairing!
Crown Prince's nemesis!
Could it be that he was really too much of a jinx?
Otherwise, how could the Crown Prince be so unlucky?
If Li Gang was already like this, there was no need to mention Li Chengqian.
He didn't complain to Second Emperor Li. Instead, his face was ashen and his eyes were blank. It was as if he had suffered too much and had lost all hope!
Li Gang finally noticed Li Chengqian's abnormality and said anxiously,""Crown Prince, what's wrong? Are…are you alright?"
"..." Li Chengqian didn't seem to hear him and remained silent.
Deng ~
At this moment, another person in green walked in.
"Greetings…Greetings Crown Prince…Greetings Young…Young Master Li.”
Seeing such a situation, this person was so scared that he could not speak properly.
"Cui Song, what's the matter?" Li Gang took a deep breath.”
"There is…there is a private letter for you, from Secretary Su Dan.”
"Oh? Secretary Su Dan's private message?" Li Gang turned from worry to joy and said to Li Chengqian,""There's no need to ask. It's His Highness 'marriage. Yes, there are still many people who think highly of the Crown Prince, we don't have to be discouraged…Uh…"
Suddenly, the old man's expression changed!
"Did something happen to the Smiths?”Li Chengqian finally spoke. His tone was incomparably cold.
"Uh…nothing…nothing…I misunderstood. Actually, this letter is about a private matter and has nothing to do with this marriage!”
"Only a fool would believe you! Give it to me!"
Puff!
Li Chengqian suddenly stood up and snatched the private letter over, reading it carefully.
"What is it? Refuse? The Smiths had rejected the marriage! Even the Su family despises this prince? Haha! This prince has been rejected, this prince has become the biggest joke in the world!”
This letter became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Li Chengqian finally lost control and exploded! He was finally going crazy!
He…laughed in anger!
Bang!
Li Chengqian grabbed Li Gang's collar and shouted,"This crown prince's marriage is decided by Imperial Father and Mother. What are you worried about, old man?! But now, Li You was rewarded, but this prince was rejected and became the laughing stock of the world! Everyone says you're the Prince's nemesis, Li Gang! Old man! You…you're a jinx! I…I'll beat you to death!"
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Li Chengqian finally found an outlet to vent his anger. He swung his arms around and gave Li Gang four or five big slaps!
In the blink of an eye, the old man, who was still holding his wits, was beaten dizzy and bleeding like an old dog abandoned by its master!
