The next morning.
Fourth Prince Li Tai rushed to Cheng Yaojin's residence early in the morning.
Last night, he received a secret letter. In order to receive more donations, Crown Prince Li Chengqian took out 8,000 strings of money from his own pocket and sent it to Li Daozong's residence. Then, he donated it in Li Daozong's name and gave it to Li Chengqian to report to him.
Li Tai didn't expect the Crown Prince to be so playful.
Therefore, in order not to fall behind, he also sent people to secretly pull 8,000 strings of coins and send them to Cheng Yaojin's residence. He planned to play the same trick with Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin naturally agreed readily. He didn't have to pay for it himself. He could also let the world think that he had donated so much money. Why not?
Therefore, Li Tai and Cheng Yaojin discussed and came over early in the morning to collect the money.
Of course, Li Tai wouldn't really donate this money. It was just for show. After he handed it over, he would think of a way to get it back from the Ministry of Revenue.
However, they didn't know that this was actually Li Chengxun's scheme. He deliberately plotted against them. The secret letter was sent by Li Chengxun.
This money was destined to go down the drain.
At this moment.
In Cheng Yaojin's residence, Li Tai looked at his dozens of boxes of money and suddenly had a bolder idea.
He decided that after he took the money and handed it over, he would immediately think of a way to get it back from the Ministry of Revenue.
Then, he would continue to look for other ministers and repeat the same trick. He would continue to play the act of donating money out of his own pocket with the ministers.
As long as he did it seven or eight times in a row, he would probably be able to rank first in the donations he received!
As soon as this thought appeared, Li Tai was particularly excited, and his thoughts were a little floating.
It was as if he could already see himself suppressing all the kings and being praised by the emperor.
Hahaha, Li Chengxun, Li Chengxun, so what if you're full of tricks?
This king has such a brilliant plan, why would I worry about not being able to defeat you?
Just you wait, after this king enters the Conferred realm, I will slowly deal with you!
……
Li Chengxun also arrived at Cheng Yaojin's residence early in the morning with Qin Shihuang and Liu Bang.
Last night, they had also received news from their spies that five princes had fallen into the trap. They had colluded with the ministers and were prepared to donate and collect money in the name of the ministers.
Therefore, he rushed over early in the morning to harvest.
The other four emperors brought people to stall the other princes.
After knocking on the door.
Li Chengxun, Qin Shihuang, and Liu Bang led a group of people into Cheng Yaojin's residence.
Coincidentally, he saw dozens of boxes in the courtyard.
"State Duke Lu, you've already prepared a donation for me so early in the morning? It seemed that Duke Lu was still righteous, much more righteous than Minister Zhangsun and Li Weigong!”
"What donation? First Prince, what did you say?"
Cheng Yaojin was stunned when he saw Li Chengxun.
"Isn't this a donation?"
Li Chengxun opened a box on the spot and was surprised to see it full of coins.
Li Tai: "??"
Cheng Yaojin's eyelids twitched." Eldest Prince, you've misunderstood. I did intend to donate this money to the disaster area, but I've already given it to the King of Wei. You're too late."”
Li Tai looked very calm and said with a smile,""Imperial brother, you are indeed late this time. State Duke Lu has already called for me to donate this money. The people from the Ministry of Revenue will come over to check it soon.”
"This has nothing to do with you. Shut up, or you'll be beaten up.”
Li Chengxun glanced at Li Tai.
Li Tai's face darkened and he sneered,""Li Chengxun, you're too overbearing! Aren't you afraid that I'll go to Imperial Father and ask for your opinion?”
"I think you want me to beat you up in front of His Majesty again, right? If you don't think it's embarrassing enough, then we'll go right away. How about that?”
Li Chengxun raised his fist, looking like he was going to beat his brother up on the spot again.
"Humph!"
Li Tai didn't say anything else. He secretly told himself that a wise man wouldn't be at a disadvantage in front of him. He had to think of a way to get rid of the donations from his own pocket first.
In any case, he already had a brilliant plan. If he did it well this time, he would be able to rank first in the 'donations' he received in two days.
He would slowly settle the score with Li Chengxun after he was sealed!
Li Chengxun ignored Li Tai and looked at Cheng Yaojin."Duke Lu, let's talk in private.”
Li Tai frowned, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he stared at Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin quickly shook his head." Don't, Your Highness. If you have anything to say, just say it here. There's no need to hide it."”
Li Chengxun was silent for a moment before he asked seriously,""Are you sure you want to say it here?"
"Let's talk here."
Cheng Yaojin nodded without hesitation, in case Li Tai was dissatisfied and he had to donate money.
Li Tai couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Cheng Yaojin and Li Chengxun's private communication would cause an accident.
As long as it was in front of him, would Cheng Yaojin give his money to Li Chengxun and take it away?
"Alright, let's talk here then."
Li Chengxun didn't mind. He patted Cheng Yaojin's shoulder."Duke Lu, your son cheated on someone else and got together with someone else's wife.”
