"Imperial Uncle, I'll take my leave first. This time, it's all thanks to Imperial Uncle's care. I'll definitely pay a visit to thank you in the future.”
The sixth prince, Li Yin, finished a cup of tea and hurriedly stood up to bid farewell to Li Daozong.
The matter had already been settled. He did not want to stay here for a moment longer.
He wanted to transport the money to the Ministry of Revenue as soon as possible.
Then, he would think of a way to get the money back into his own pocket and repeat the same trick.
When he thought of the possibility that he would become the prince who would receive the most donations, Li Yin's mood became very good. He wished he could find an empty place and laugh heartily.
Li Chengxun?
Li Tai?
I suddenly want to arm wrestle with you guys…
If I can suppress all of you, it will be enough to prove in front of Imperial Father that I am better than all of you in terms of winning over civil and military officials!
"Your Highness is too polite. Let's go, I'll send you off.”
Li Daozong was also very amiable. Even though he didn't think highly of Li Yin, the other party had given him eight thousand strings. He didn't have to donate a single cent and could still have a good reputation. Naturally, he had to support the other party.
At this moment, a young man rushed over.
"Father, the First Prince requests an audience."
"He came to me so soon?”
Li Daozong was stunned. He looked at his son and ordered,"Go and greet them first. I'll be there later.”
"Yes, Father."
The young man rushed to the living room.
Sixth Prince Li Yin's eyes lit up as he looked at Li Daozong."Uncle, can you do me a favor?”
"Your Highness, please say it. I will do as you say.”
Li Daozong looked at Li Yin with a smile.
Li Yin chuckled and quickly said,""Imperial Uncle, Li Chengxun will definitely lobby for you to give the donation to him.
"Tell him that later. Your Highness, I'm really sorry. I've already handed over the donation to the Sixth Prince.
But as the Imperial Uncle, I can't let the First Prince make a wasted trip.
How about this, I'll take out some money and give it to you to complete your mission.”
“……”
Li Daozong immediately frowned.
If he followed Li Yin's plan, he would have completely offended the First Prince.
Yi Guan Qian treated him like he was giving him face. A prince who had the support of five families and seven noble families and had such a high reputation among the people, was his face worth Yi Guan Qian?
That wasn't slapping the other party's face. After slapping the other party's face, he was going to step on the other party's face again!
This Sixth Prince was really ruthless…
"Imperial Uncle, I know that this matter will put you in a difficult position, but if you are willing to help me this time, I will definitely prepare a generous gift in the future.”
Li Yin saw Li Daozong's reaction and quickly added.
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to Your Highness. As for whether the gift is generous or not, there's no need for that.”
Li Daozong hesitated for a moment before making his decision.
In his view, the First Prince was not the direct prince born of the Empress. Even if he had the support of the gentry, so what if he had high popularity?
Even if there was a fight for the throne in the future, His Majesty would only choose from Li Tai and Li Zhi, these two Di sons.
Since he was a prince who was destined to never ascend the throne, it was fine if he offended him. He just had to be careful in the future and not be tricked by the First Prince.
The main point was that he felt that if he didn't agree, Sixth Prince Li Yin would probably take away the 8,000 strings of donations and find someone else to cooperate with.
In that case, he would have to donate money himself.
"Thank you, Imperial Uncle!"
Li Yin immediately became spirited and quickly thanked him.
He wanted to humiliate Li Chengxun like this, except for some personal grudges.
He also wanted to do a good job and brag about it in front of the other princes.
Li Chengxun, who had suppressed the other princes to the point of suffocation, had suffered such a great loss in front of him. Thinking about the scene where he had bragged in front of the other princes, he felt a little emotional.
Not long after, Li Daozong and Li Yin arrived at the living room in the residence.
After seeing Li Chengxun, Li Daozong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed."Greetings, First Prince."
"City Lord Ren, you don't have to be so polite."
Li Chengxun waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Daozong was slightly displeased with Li Chengxun calling him 'Ren Chengwang.'
When the Crown Prince saw him, he had to call him Imperial Uncle.
However, this illegitimate son of the Emperor had such an attitude. He was really arrogant and did not know the rules. In the future, how many ministers would be willing to support such a prince who did not know etiquette?
"City Lord Ren, I came here for two things. You should have guessed the first thing, so let me tell you about the second thing.”
Li Chengxun went straight to the point.
"Oh?" Li Daozong was slightly stunned. Please enlighten me, Your Highness."
Li Chengxun pointed to the room next door." Let's talk in the inner room. You can't afford to lose face."”
Li Daozong frowned. He thought for a moment and said,"Let's go then."
Li: "???"
I'm a living person, and I'm being ignored just like that?？
In front of you, Li Chengxun, I don't even have the qualifications to be beaten like Li Tai?
Ha…What a good Li Chengxun. Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson later!
Li Yin was a little unhappy about being ignored.
They arrived at a study.
Li Chengxun patted Li Daozong's shoulder and said with a smile,"City Lord Ren, what I'm about to say is a little too exciting for you. You have to be strong.”
Li Daozong: "???"
"City Lord Ren, before the First Prince says anything, let me give you a word of advice. If you want to live a good life, you have to be a little cuckold.”
Liu Bang also spoke at this moment.
Li Daozong: "???"
