The Hard-Working Li Daozong
Du Ruhui felt bitter. Although he was the Prime Minister, none of his sons were easy to deal with!
Therefore, Du Ruhui made the same decision as Fang Xuanling. He would go back and teach his sons a lesson!
However, what he said was true. Although it was the dream of many scholars to obtain an official rank.
However, the Tang Dynasty was an open country. Other than becoming an official, there were many other paths to take.
However, everyone looked at Du Ruhui nervously. Li Shimin also looked at Du Ruhui.
But he actually dared to say that in front of the important officials of the court and the Emperor!？
Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji were worried for Du Ruhui, but Li Shimin didn't argue with him.
However, they couldn't understand why Li Shiming didn't look happy even though the matter had been resolved so well.
Although they knew that there was a country bumpkin who wanted to be related to the emperor, they did not know that the country bumpkin was the son-in-law they were so full of praise for, Chu Yi!
Although Li Shi Min was conflicted, he said,"He is indeed very good, even more outstanding than many of the young talents in the court.”
After hearing Li Shiming's words, Li Daozong had never felt so carefree before.
At this moment, Du Ruhui and the others were still going on and on. Li Daozong hurriedly said,
"Milords, you flatter me. This son-in-law of mine is just a little smart. How could he compare to the lords? All of you are the backbone of our Great Tang!”
Sometimes, it was not necessarily a good thing to praise too much. One had to understand that too much talk was bound to make a mistake.
Fang Xuanling said," Ah, Lord Li, you don't have to be humble. Luck is also a form of strength. One day, you must bring Chu Yi to my house for a drink."”
"Who said anything about drinking at your house? You're clearly going to my house to drink!"
"Lord Li, I have a distant niece. She's outstanding in looks and talent. Do you mind if Chu Yi has another concubine?”
"Lord Li, my youngest son is still young. Why don't we let him learn something from Chu Yi? What do you think about letting Chu Yi be his tutor?”
Li Daozong was speechless.
The surprise came too quickly. Li Daozong was simply on cloud nine!
The more Li Shiming listened to Fang Xuanling and the others, the angrier he felt!
Yes, the great Tang Emperor Li Shi Min regretted it!
If he hadn't chased Chu Yi out so rashly back then, he would be the one with the face now.
He could only blame himself for being too young!
Looking at everyone's compliments towards Li Daozong, Li Shiming really wanted to say that he regretted it!
However, he couldn't.
Li Daozong didn't notice Li Shiming's sad expression. He said to Fang Xuanling and the others seriously,"Although this son-in-law of mine is talented, intelligent, handsome, and valiant, he's still a genius. But he couldn't handle alcohol, so he didn't mind drinking.”
Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng were stunned at the same time. Wasn't Li Daozong looking down on them too much?
"As for taking concubines, Chu Yi is now deeply in love with my daughter. I believe Lord Fang should have a deep understanding of this kind of relationship and can understand it, right?”
Everyone knew that Fang Xuanling was the Prime Minister of the Great Tang and the most henpecked man in the Great Tang!
As expected, Fang Xuanling's face stiffened after hearing this. On the surface, Li Daozong was praising his son-in-law for being outstanding, but in reality, he was implying that he was afraid of his wife!
Fang Xuanling's face stiffened and he didn't say anything.
Li Daozong was extremely pleased with himself. You are a henpecked fellow, yet you still dare to mock me for being a boor?
Li Daozong didn't notice it at all and continued to retort,"As for being the Grand Tutor, there's an old saying that goes,'A teacher for a day is a father for life'. If Chu Yi took your son as his disciple, he would be the father of your son. As Chu Yi's father-in-law, our seniority would be messed up. Lord Zhangsun, don't you agree?”
Was this Li Daozong dreaming?
He actually dared to make her his son?!
Zhangsun Wuji's face immediately fell. This scene made Li Daozong secretly happy!
Hmph, you want to marry my daughter far away and still treat me in court. Today, I can finally hold my head high!
"Alright, Minister Li has indeed made a great contribution this time. I will reward you properly later.”Li Shi Min saw that the atmosphere had turned cold, so he stood up and said.
Fang Xuanling and the others weren't the only ones who were unhappy. Even Li Shiming had to restrain himself from rushing forward to kill Li Daozong when he saw his smug appearance!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Daozong stopped showing off and immediately thanked him.
Li Shi Min sighed and continued,""Alright, although the method is already in place, before it is implemented, everything is just empty talk. I don't know what problems you will encounter during the implementation process.”
The few of them nodded. Although they sometimes had different political views and disputes, they maintained absolute seriousness at this time!
Li Shi Min looked at the book and continued,"Minister Li will be fully responsible for the preparation of the bank. Minister Fang, Minister Du, the two of you will assist Minister Li.”
Li Daozong was stunned. How could he possibly know how to set up a bank?
He was a general, and he had bragged too much. He was finished…
Seeing Li Daozong's distressed face, Li Shiming felt a little better.
As expected, happiness needed to be built on the pain of others.
"What's wrong? Minister Li, do you have any questions?”Li Shi Min pretended to be confused.
Of course, there was a problem. How could Li Daozong, that boorish man, have come up with the method to set up a bank? This was not a martial arts contest for a spouse!
" Your Majesty, I've received your decree…" Li Daozong said with a bitter expression.
He wasn't the one who came up with this method. How would he know how to set up a bank?
And just now, he seemed to have offended Li Shiming, who had sent him to help with his room, Xuanling, and Du Ruhui…
Now, it was already good enough that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui didn't wait for an opportunity to take revenge on him. How could they help him with peace of mind?
Li Shi Min looked at Li Daozong's expression with satisfaction and said with a smile,"That's right. Minister Li, don't disappoint zhen. Zhen has high hopes for you.”
Li Daozong revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Lord Fang, Lord Du will be holding a banquet in the residence today. Why don't the two of you come over for a drink? We can also discuss the matters regarding the establishment of the bank.”
Li Daozong looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in an attempt to salvage their relationship.
Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said with a fake smile,""Lord Li, have you forgotten that our family is very strict? I won't join in the fun.”
"Your son-in-law can't hold his liquor, so I naturally won't disturb him.”Du Ruhui also glanced at Li Daozong and rejected him directly.
Li Daozong's smile froze on his face. He had gone too far…
