"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling quickly walked over.
As he walked over, he called out in a low voice.
They could not let outsiders know that the cloaked person was the emperor, but they also had to let Li Er know that the two of them had rushed over.
However, even if Li Er saw them, he got into a carriage beside them and pretended not to see them.
When Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling saw this, they looked at each other and their bitter smiles deepened.
Without thinking, he knew that His Majesty did it on purpose.
The two of them sighed and approached the carriage from both sides.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong."
"Your Majesty, I shouldn't have hidden it from you.”
"Your Majesty, we shouldn't have done business with the King of Shu.”
"Your Majesty, we promise not to interfere in the business of the salt master in the future.”
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling each spoke as they followed the carriage.
Without Li Er's permission, the two of them did not dare to get on the carriage.
She was worried that someone would recognize her, so she lowered her head and jogged along, almost falling.
"Zhen is an unrelated person. How would I dare to ask you not to interfere in the business of the salt master?”
In the carriage, Li Er had already thrown away his cloak.
He leaned against the carriage, his expression still not looking good.
Today was really embarrassing for him.
If it wasn't for his thick skin, there was really no way to end it.
"Your Majesty, we didn't mean to embarrass you.”
"We... We feel that the King of Shu is good at doing business. Using him to deal with the five surnames and seven Wangs will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.”
"Look at the Ice and Snow World, the Fragrance Beauty, and now the Salt Master. Which one of them isn't an unusually hot business? No one outside can replicate it.”
"With the King of Shu around, in a few years, the business of the five surnames and seven Wangs will definitely suffer a setback. In addition to our political suppression, their disintegration will definitely be brought forward.”
Zhangsun Wuji's train of thought was running very fast as he revealed the true thoughts of Fang Xuanling and himself.
The two old foxes had noticed Li Ke when he pushed out the Ice and Snow.
However, they didn't think too much about it at that time.
However, when Li Ke's Vanilla Beauty was introduced, the two of them had their eyes on Li Ke and felt that his business was very special.
Following the appearance of Master Salt, a plan appeared in the minds of Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling. They felt that they could give it a try.
Of course, they didn't dare to tell Li Ke or Li Er. Moreover, the two of them didn't know if this plan would work.
Now, in order to appease Emperor Li Er, they could only say what they really thought in their hearts. They hoped that the Emperor would not blame them.
"Come on up."
The carriage was silent for a while before a voice came out.
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling both heaved a sigh of relief. They wiped the sweat off their foreheads and boarded the carriage.
"Since you have such thoughts, why didn't you tell me?”
Li Er said in a deep voice.
His expression was still ugly.
He still had complaints about Li Ke and Zhangsun Wuji.
However, as an emperor, he knew what was important to him.
"Cough cough, this matter is not mature yet."
"And…Moreover, you are in conflict with the King of Shu."
Zhangsun Wuji coughed dryly and said embarrassedly.
He slandered in his heart. If you hadn't severed your father-son relationship with Li Ke, how could we not dare to mention it?
After all, it's such an important matter. It involves the stability of the country. We don't want it either.
"Humph!"
"Do you think he can do it?"
Li Er snorted and changed the topic.
He frowned and asked in a deep voice.
He was naturally referring to Li Ke.
"We don't know."
"But looking at Chang 'an, the King of Shu is the most likely candidate.”
Fang Xuanling said.
This plan was actually proposed by him in the beginning.
In the beginning, Zhangsun Wuji refused no matter what. He used the fact that he was the Crown Prince's uncle as an excuse and refused to participate in this plan. He only wanted to earn some money.
However, after finding Li Er's seal and having Li Er discover the fine salt business, he had no choice but to lie and agree to Fang Xuanling's plan.
"For now, that unfilial son indeed has such ability.”
Li Er had no choice but to nod and admit this.
Li Ke was the only one who could do three businesses in a row.
And so far, no other merchant had been able to make a replica. It could be seen how powerful Li Ke was.
"Yes, the King of Shu's ability has left this old minister flabbergasted.”
"However, the next step is the key. The five surnames and seven Wangs will probably suppress the King of Shu.”
Fang Xuanling nodded.
His expression was a little solemn, and worry was hidden between his brows.
Li Ke's first two businesses had developed relatively smoothly.
Both businesses were new, and others could not find imitations even if they wanted to compete maliciously.
However, it was different now. The salt business was originally only sold by two parties. The royal family had five surnames and seven Wangs!
Now that Li Ke had intervened, the Imperial Family would not suppress him, but the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs would definitely stop him.
It was easy to open the business, but the operation was the key.
"Okay, you guys pay more attention."
Li Er nodded with a solemn expression.
To him, the five surnames and seven Wangs were like seven mountains, mountains that pressed down on him until he could not breathe.
In the imperial court, more than sixty to seventy percent of the officials came from the five surnames and seven surnames, or were related to them.
In daily life, more than half of the salt, iron, Xuan paper, books, and so on came from the five surnames and seven gazes.
In other areas, the Five Families and Seven Looks had a very deep control.
Li Er had already begun to disintegrate the power of the five surnames and seven Wangs from the officials of the imperial court.
However, in life, he did not know where to start, nor did he know how to disintegrate the five surnames and seven surnames.
Now that Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji had pushed Li Ke out, although he didn't like Li Ke, he had to admit that it was the current method.
For the sake of the great cause, Li Er felt that he could put down his grudge with Li Ke and let him do his work.
"Your Majesty, this subject has something that I don't know if I should say.”
Fang Xuanling opened his mouth, but in the end, he still said embarrassedly.
"Tell me, is there anything I can't say?”
Li Er glared at Fang Xuanling and said in a deep voice.
"It's like this."
"I know a little about you and the King of Shu.”
"For the great cause, for the Great Tang, why don't you admit your mistake?”
Fang Xuanling mustered up his courage and asked cautiously.
They were both father and son, so how could they really sever their relationship?
If Li Ke was a useless prince, Fang Xuanling would never say anything.
However, Li Ke's ability was obvious to all. The speed at which he earned money in the world of ice and snow and the fragrant grass beauty was faster than the income of the imperial court.
With such a prince, the army heading north would not starve, and they would not have to worry about not having enough money to support their rations.
More importantly, their salaries might increase a little.
"Impudent!"
"If he wants to admit his mistake, it's him!"
"Look at that unfilial son's attitude just now. Does he look like he wants to repent at all?”
Li Er was furious and shouted in a low voice.
If anyone wanted to admit their mistake, it was that unfilial son!
If he was willing to admit his mistake, he might be able to forgive him for the sake of the world of ice and snow, the fragrant grass beauty, and the salt master.
But if I admit my mistake,
Don't even think about it!
