After Wei Zheng's detailed explanation, the anger in Second Emperor Li's heart instantly dissipated by more than half.
In this way, he could be considered to have unintentionally completed a major event that benefited the country and the people!
Although the road was called Yun Road, the money was paid by him, the emperor!!
Following that, there was some emotion!
Why was his treatment so different from Li Yun's?
He considered himself a wise ruler and a person with outstanding achievements. Ever since he ascended the throne, he had been thrifty and hardworking. He had never slacked off for a moment.
But why didn't he hear any good words from Wei Zheng, this stubborn old man?
Thinking of this, Second Emperor Li could not help but ask,
"Xuancheng, do you think I am a good emperor?”
Wei Zheng was stunned by his question.
"Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask about this?”
"I saw that you were full of praise for Li Yun, but you never said anything good to Zhen. Why is that?”Second Emperor Li said.
" Your Majesty," Wei Zheng said after a moment of silence," I'm not as good as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui when it comes to governing the country.”
"In terms of formation, I am inferior to Li Jing and Li Ji.”
"All this subject can do is use this hot-blooded heart to speak up for Your Majesty, telling Your Majesty not to take the Great Tang's country on the wrong path.”
"There are many people who praise Your Majesty inside and outside the court, so there is no need for me to do this alone. Let me do this evil thing that no one dares to do and no one wants to do!”
After hearing his words, Second Emperor Li was deeply moved.
Wei Zheng also expressed his feelings.
He suddenly felt that it was not bad to have such a minister by his side.
For a time, the relationship between the monarch and his subjects became much closer.
Unknowingly, Li Yun had also changed history.
Because of his intrusion, the two of them could be considered to have untied the knot in their hearts. Presumably, the matter of pushing down the tombstone after death should not happen again!
His mood suddenly brightened up. Li Er smiled and said,
"Xuan Cheng, do you really think so highly of Li Yun?”
"This subject's evaluation of Li Yun is not exaggerated at all. This subject even feels that he does not seem like a mortal!”Wei Zheng nodded.
"Xuan Cheng, I trust your judgment.”Second Emperor Li nodded and said,
"In this way, I can marry Lizhi to him without worry.”
"Your Majesty, are you serious?" Wei Zheng said in surprise.
The eldest daughter of the royal family had a noble status. Her marriage was a major event that the entire country celebrated!
Although Second Emperor Li had already expressed his attitude before, he was still shocked by the sudden official decision!
"That's right, I've already promised Lizhi to go south with Li Yun.”Li Er nodded.
"Didn't Your Majesty just ask me if I should let the Crown Prince study with Li Yun for a period of time?”Wei Zheng suddenly asked.
"Indeed. Does Xuan Cheng have an answer?”Li Er said.
"Although these words are a little rude.”
"However, this subject still has to say that there are already two princesses on the list of people going south, so adding a prince is not considered rude!”Wei Zheng smiled.
"You and I are thinking the same thing!" His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly.
"In that case, we will go to Lantian County tomorrow to find out what that little bastard Li Yun thinks. At the same time, we will ask him how he plans to deal with the money he has scammed from me!”
"This subject also has this intention. Regarding this road construction matter, this subject still has some doubts that I would like to ask him to answer!”Wei Zheng nodded.
After sitting for a while, Wei Zheng took his leave.
The two of them officially set their itinerary and agreed to leave for Lantian County the next morning.
......
That evening, at the Li residence.
After a busy day, the merchant from Shu, Sun Shi, returned to Li Village with a stack of bills in her arms.
"How was it, Old Sun? Did anyone target you when you came back?”Li Yun asked.
Old Sun took out the thick stack of bills from his pocket and carefully handed it to Li Yun. He said,
"Young Master, don't worry. With Old Chen and the others behind us, it's absolutely foolproof!”
"A total of 7.7 million strings, His Majesty rounded it up.”
"According to Young Master's request, I divided it into more than 40 pieces.”
"Phew!" Li Yun heaved a long sigh of relief." Well done!”
" Young Master, don't look for me again if you have such a thing in the future," Old Sun said with some lingering fear." I was almost scared out of my wits in front of Taiji Palace today!”
"Good for you!" Li Yun glared at him and said," I already told you, that Li Er is very stupid. He still wants to save face. He definitely won't find out!”
"How is it? Did anything go wrong?"
"There's no mistake, but Young Master, you haven't seen His Majesty before. He's too dignified!”
"He sat there and looked at me expressionlessly. I was so scared that my legs were trembling!”Old Sun continued.
"Alright, alright, I'll remember your great contribution this time. Go and find Old Huang to receive the reward later!”Li Yun waved his hand and said.
"Alright, Young Master. I'll go find Old Huang now!”Old Sun was instantly amused when he heard this. He stood up and left.
After he left, Li Yun held the stack of bills in his hand and looked at it several times. He was so happy that he was about to bloom!
He muttered happily,
"The ancient books are not lying to me. This Li Er is really a good emperor who loves his people like his own children!!”
His plan this time could be said to be a classic case of moral kidnapping.
It was extremely despicable, but Li Yun didn't feel ashamed at all!
After all, this road was built for the people of the Great Tang!
Although the name was Yundao, the person who planned the construction was Li Yun!
However, Li Er was the one who paid the money. It was just that no one knew!!
After counting them again, Li Yun found a small box and put the bills neatly into it.
The reason why he wanted Old Sun to divide it into so many portions was mainly for the convenience of carrying it.
He had spent a lot of energy transporting the first batch of money by himself.
So this time, Li Yun had an idea and divided the large bills into small portions.
This way, they could take out some money from each big city, and they wouldn't have to worry about not having enough money!
It was much more convenient to take and use at any time!
......
The next morning.
A four-wheeled carriage left Chang 'an and headed straight for Lantian County.
Sitting in the carriage were Second Emperor Li and Wei Zheng!
"Your Majesty, Li Yun's four-wheeled carriage is indeed much more comfortable than the one we rode before.”Wei Zheng said.
"This little bastard sure has a lot of tricks up his sleeves.”Emperor Li Er nodded and said," A few days ago, I took apart this carriage and studied it several times.”
"I still don't understand why his four-wheeled car can turn simultaneously without any resistance!”
"As expected of an expert. You're even proficient in the way of investigating things!”Wei Zheng sighed. "I'm afraid that if you start learning skills from your mother's womb, it's only so!”
Li Er looked at him speechlessly and didn't reply.
The upright Wei Zheng had actually become Li Yun's number one flatterer!
If this matter were to spread, Chang 'an Fortress would be shocked!
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at Li Village.
As soon as he entered, Second Emperor Li saw a person who made him feel complicated!
This person was the merchant from Shu, Sun Shi!”
As expected!
What Shu merchant? He was just Li Yun's tenant!
Wei Zheng also saw this person and was shocked.
"Your Majesty, should we hide? This Old Sun has seen you before!”
"No worries." Second Emperor Li waved his hand and said," Yesterday in the main hall, he didn't even look up at me.”
"Even if he looked at me carefully, he might not be able to recognize me!”
"The zhen at that time was completely different from the zhen now!”
After saying that, he swaggered past Old Sun with Wei Zheng.
Sure enough, as His Majesty said, Old Sun did not recognize him at all!
Old Sun was even glared at by Second Emperor Li. He rubbed his head and felt a little baffled!
After this small episode, Emperor Li Er and his wife quickly arrived at Li Yun's residence.
"Yo, Old Li, you're here so early?”Li Yun, who was washing up, greeted in surprise,
Second Emperor Li resisted the urge to beat him up and squeezed out a smile.
"I happened to have something to do in the suburbs, so I came to see you.”
"Sure, I happen to have something to look for you.”Li Yun said," But wait for a while. I'll wash up first."”
After saying that, she used a tender willow branch to soak in fine salt and began to brush her teeth.
"Did you just get up?" Wei Zheng could not help but ask.
"Yeah, aren't we preparing to go to Yuhang? There are a lot of things to do, so I woke up a little early.”Li Yunshu said after she finished washing her mouth.
When Wei Zheng heard this, he was instantly amazed. A master was indeed different from ordinary people!
It's already late in the morning, and you're still early?
After Li Yun finished washing up, the three of them went to the living room.
"You didn't cause the big scene in Chang 'an yesterday, did you?”Li Er went straight to the point.
" That's right." Li Yun smiled and said," So, Old Li, do you regret it now?" You didn't agree when I looked for you!”
"Otherwise, half of this seven million strings of strings would be yours!”
"I already said that Li Er is very stupid, but you didn't believe me!”
Hearing this, Second Emperor Li's temples began to throb wildly again. He suppressed his anger and said,
"This method of yours is really brilliant. In this way, all the money for the road repair will be returned!”
"His Majesty paid to repair the road, but the commoners don't know!”
Unexpectedly, Li Yun shook his head when he heard that." At most, half of my money will be returned!”
"It's just a road, why would you use so much?”Wei Zheng said in surprise.
They had carefully calculated that the 7.4 million strings of strings of
"Because my path is not an ordinary path!”
"It is the path to lead the people of the south to wealth!”Li Yun said casually.
" I totally agree with that." Wei Zheng's eyes lit up." I knew that you wouldn't come here just to enjoy yourself!”
"I think after this road is completed, it will be convenient for goods to flow between the north and south. In a few years, the people in the south will be as rich as the people in Guanzhong!”
"Do you think so too?"
" I say, Old Wei," Li Yun looked at him and shook his head." Although what you said is true, it will take too long to realize!"”
"How can I be so slow?"
