After Li Junxian returned to the Imperial Palace, he told Li Shiming about Cui Ming's terminal illness.
Li Shi Min was shocked when he heard about this.
"What did you say? You said that Chui Ming has a terminal illness and can only live for ten days?”
"Yes, that's what the young abbey dean said.”
Li Shi Min pondered.
When Chui Ming threatened him with food in the imperial court, he wanted to kill Chui Ming.
Now that Chui Ming was terminally ill, he didn't need to do anything.
"Go and tell the young abbey dean that I want Cui Ming dead.”
A few days later, Chui Ming returned to the White Cloud Temple.
His face was pale, his lips were purple, and he walked unsteadily.
"Little Abbey Dean, please save me.”
Chui Ming came to the hall and knelt down when he saw Qin Yun drinking tea on a chair.
Qin Yun looked at Chui Ming, who had come to seek help, without any surprise on his face. This was because everything was within his expectations.
"This tea is really delicious."
Qin Yun ignored Chui Ming and continued drinking his tea.
Seeing Qin Yun remain unmoved, Chui Ming gritted his teeth and said,""If you're willing to save me, I'm willing to give you 100,000 taels of silver.”
As the leader of the five families, the Cui family had no lack of money.
Qin Yun remained unmoved. This was because a few days ago, Li Shimin had sent Li Junxian to tell him that he wanted Cui Ming dead.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't save Chui Ming.
Seeing Qin Yun remain unmoved, Chui Ming panicked. He crawled over and grabbed Qin Yun's pants.
"200,000 taels, I'll give you 200,000 taels.”
Qin Yun looked up and said indifferently to Chui Ming,""Do I look like someone who needs money?"
Chui Ming was stunned. That's right. He cured Princess Changle and helped Li Shimin solve the food crisis in Chang 'an. How could he be short of money?
"Little Abbey Dean, it was my fault. Please give me a chance. I don't want to die.”
Qin Yun fell into deep thought as he looked at the pleading Chui Ming.
Chui Ming's death could help the Imperial Court alleviate the pressure on the aristocratic families.
But it was only for a while. After all, the Cui family was very powerful. It would not be long before they sent a new family head to Chang 'an.
Therefore, rather than killing him, it was better to use him.
It's not that I don't want to save you, but your Cui family monopolizes the food in Chang 'an and even threatened His Majesty..."
Before Qin Yun could finish his sentence, Chui Ming widened his eyes and said,""Do you mean to ask me to look for His Majesty?”
Qin Yun did not say a word because that was what he meant.
Killing Chui Ming meant nothing to him, but it was a different story for Li Shi Min.
"Alright, I'll go find His Majesty now and apologize to him.”
In order to survive, Chui Ming decided to lower his head to Li Shiming.
Although he represented the Chui Corporation, his reputation was not as important as his life.
Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace.
The morning court session had already begun.
" Dear ministers, I have received the help of White Cloud Monastery Master and obtained more than 100,000 divine items and food. Now, the food crisis in Chang 'an has been basically solved.”
"In order to thank the young abbey dean for his help, I have decided to confer him the title of county duke for ten thousand years.”
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate."
At this moment, Wei Zheng walked out and said,"His Majesty has already conferred him the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in Chang 'an, and now he wants to confer him the title of County Duke for ten thousand years. With such a generous reward, I'm afraid that he will become a hidden danger to the imperial court.”
Zhangsun Wuji raised his eyebrows. The hidden danger of the Imperial Court was the Crown Prince.
" Lord Wei," he sneered." If I remember correctly, your nephew was conferred the title of County Duke for ten thousand years because he led the Emperor's horse once. Are you afraid that the young abbey dean will snatch his title?"”
Wei Zheng frowned. He looked at Zhangsun Wuji and said coldly,"Why would I think that? I'm worried for His Majesty.”
Li Shi Min sneered in his heart. Worry for me? That's my son, why should you worry?
" Minister Wei, not only did the young Abbey Dean cure the Princess and General Hou, but he also donated hundreds of thousands of tons of grain to the people of Chang 'an for free. Such a person will never become a hidden danger. You're too much."”
" Your Majesty," Wei Zheng cupped his hands." Although the young abbey dean has donated more than 100,000 tons of grain to the people of Chang 'an, the grain of Chang' an is still in the hands of the aristocratic families."”
" According to the current situation, the people of Chang 'an will only be able to last ten days with the hundred thousand dan of grain. What will happen after ten days? We still have to rely on the aristocratic families."”
"So you're saying that he donated a few hundred thousand dan of grain, and there's no credit at all?" Li Shi Min frowned.”
Wei Zheng said," Of course not. It's just that it's not enough for him to be a county duke. Of course, if he can get the aristocratic families to lower the grain prices back to the original price, that would be a huge contribution. The county duke will definitely not have any objections."”
"What? You want the aristocratic families to lower the price of the grain back to its original price?”
"That's right. Now the grain price in Chang 'an is more expensive than gold. How can the aristocratic families lower the grain price?”
Hearing this, Li Shi Min frowned.
Unless the other party had a screw loose, they would not be able to get the aristocratic families of Chang 'an to lower the price of grain.
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly walked into the hall and cupped his hands at Li Shimin."Your Majesty, the head of the Cui family, Cui Ming, is outside the palace.”
Li Shi Min was surprised to hear that Chui Ming wanted to see him.
Why did the other party come looking for him again? Could it be because of the grain tax reduction?
"Let him in."
Soon, Chui Ming walked in.
When he arrived at the center of the hall, he cupped his hands respectfully to Li Shiming and said,""This commoner Cui Ming greets Your Majesty."
Li Shi Min was surprised to see that Chui Ming's face was no longer as arrogant as before.
"Chui Ming, why are you looking for me? If it's because of the grain tax reduction, then you don't have to say anything. I won't agree."”
" Your Majesty," Chui Ming cupped his hands and said," I'm not here to lower the grain tax. I'm here to donate all the grain in Chang 'an to the imperial court for free."”
The moment Chui Ming said this, all the officials were stunned.
Li Shi Min was also stunned.
"Did I hear it wrong? Chui Ming wants to donate all the food in Chang 'an to the imperial court for free?”
"Is this Chui Ming crazy?”
After a moment of silence, voices of shock and doubt echoed throughout Taiji Palace.
