In the house, the sound of a needle falling could be heard.
The sound of crunching melon seeds came from the soft couch.
Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji were sitting on the chairs at the side, looking at him with complicated gazes. They never expected that Li Tai, who loved to eat melon seeds, could actually turn things around.
He only used seven stone tablets.
The five families and seven Wangs, who had been proud just now, were now in a sorry state outside the house, bowing and anxiously asking for an audience.
Li Yuanji was extremely pleased. Ever since he saw the seven old men in the Dew Palace, he had been annoyed by them. Especially when he saw them digging a pit for Li Tai, he was even more annoyed. No matter what, Li Tai was a member of the royal family. You guys, a bunch of despotic gentry who didn't even have official positions, dared to dig a pit for the emperor?
Now, he felt great!
The seven stone tablets were enough to make the five surnames and seven Wangs go down in history!
Perhaps not only the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Chang 'an, but also the common people, even the branch disciples of the five surnames and the Seven Wangs were cursing behind their backs. It was because of them that the other people of the five surnames and the Seven Wangs were implicated.
Yes!
Li Yuanji thought happily in his heart, If it were me, I would have already removed your heads!
Li Jiancheng sat at the side with his head lowered in deep thought. He went through the whole thing in his mind like a horse watching a lantern.
Starting from the morning court, the news of the donation reached the ears of the five surnames and seven Wangs. The seven family heads were summoned into the palace to donate money. The seven family heads donated twenty-one tricky land deeds. Under the firm rejection of his second and third brothers, Li Tai refused to listen and accepted them.
Qian Gang was arbitrary!
Follow one's heart!
However, was Li Tai really acting arbitrarily? Instead of seeing through it?
Li Jiancheng fell into deep thought. If Li Tai listened to Feng Deyi's advice and wanted to borrow money from the Five Families and Seven Wangs in the imperial court, once it really succeeded, it would probably raise the prestige of the Five Families and Seven Wangs to a peak.
At that time, the people of the world would probably talk about it. Look, the problem that the Imperial Court could not solve was easily solved by the five surnames and seven Wangs!
If that was the case, what would the people think of the imperial court?
What would the scholars of the world think of His Majesty?
Would the five surnames and seven Wangs become ambitious? Would there be more officials in the court who would rely on them?
The more Li Jiancheng thought about it, the more shocked he became.
The hidden dangers that he had not considered before all surfaced in his heart at this moment, and he felt a lingering fear.
Perhaps Li Tai didn't listen to Feng Deyi's advice, but if he didn't lend it, how could the imperial court have more money? How could they fill the national treasury to solve the urgent needs?
It was impossible to levy exorbitant taxes.
That would shake the foundation of the country.
Li Jiancheng tried to think of a solution. After a while, he smiled bitterly. This was a thorny problem that he could not solve.
But now, someone could solve it!
Li Tai!
The little Emperor!
They had already reached the final step to resolve the urgent matter of the imperial court!
All of this was based on Li Tai taking one step at a time. If he hadn't accepted the twenty-one land deeds donated by the five surnames and Seven Wangs, or if he hadn't sold them for sixty-three copper coins at the auction, there would never have been the words on the seven stone tablets!
In the entire process, the slightest mistake would greatly reduce the effect.
Li Jiancheng secretly clicked his tongue. If the seven family heads had discovered the problem, there would definitely not have been such an outcome!
The seven clan heads had been defeated by underestimating Li Tai!
This defeat almost caused the reputation of the five surnames and seven Wangs to be completely destroyed in the hearts of the world!
Just based on this matter.
He was really inferior to Li Tai!
Li Jiancheng thought to himself. Li Er thought even more, and his expression was a little dazed.
This kid.
Was she really his biological daughter?
He had always done things openly and aboveboard, but Li Tai was different.
This kid looked pure and innocent, but when he cut open the surface, the inside was completely black!
His heart was really dirty!
Li Er secretly cursed.
This could be seen from the fact that he asked Li Jiancheng to cut the minced meat. It was even more obvious now. Look at the seven family heads outside the door. They were all from five surnames and seven Wangs. Which one of them was not an old fox in Chang 'an City who was about to become a spirit? Which one was easy to deal with?
If he wanted to deal with them, he had to be more skilled than them!
To say that it was better than the hearts of the seven family heads, to deal with them, one had to be dirtier than their hearts!
Something that others could not do.
Li Tai did it!
Because of this, Li Er was even more depressed. If this continued, wouldn't Li Tai be able to sit on the throne?!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Outside the house, the seven old men bowed and did not dare to get up for a long time.
In the house, the sound of crunching melon seeds could be heard without end.
Li Tai sat cross-legged on the soft couch, munching on melon seeds with relish. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the seven old men who were bowing outside the house. He grinned meaningfully and silently. Just wait outside, bend over and wait. That way, you'll be a little tired, right?
After all, it was a little tiring.
It's better than going down in history!
Li Tai threw the pile of melon seeds into his mouth, chewed his cheeks, and said cutely,""King Qi, pour me some water!"
"Alright!"
Li Yuanji stood up and brought a bowl of water over with an apologetic smile."Your Majesty, the water has just warmed up. You can drink it directly!”
Li Tai held the small bowl in satisfaction and took a sip, savoring the taste.
Outside the house, the seven old men had pained expressions on their faces. They were already so old that they could not bend their backs to the ground!
But Li Tai didn't say anything.
They did not dare to stand up. If this continued, even if the little Emperor forgave them, they would lose their lives here today!
The six old men looked at Li Zhao.
A layer of sweat appeared on Li Zhao's forehead. How could he not understand why Li Tai did not reply to them? He endured the pain of bending over, gritted his teeth, and said loudly,
"Your Majesty, the Longxi Li Clan is willing to donate 100,000 strings of strings to the Imperial Court!”
