He was so excited that he stood up from his seat. He stared at Wei Zheng with his mouth agape and gasped.
"What did you say?"
"Is that true?"
Li Er naturally knew the importance of fine salt, so when he heard Wei Zheng say this, he, who had always been calm, could not help but get excited.
Like Wei Zheng, Li Er had absolute trust in Li Chengqian.
As long as the other party said it, it must be true.
Compared to Li Er's excitement, Wei Zheng was very calm.
Wei Zheng glanced at Li Er and could not help but smile bitterly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down…"
Wei Zheng was worried that his next splash of cold water would make Li Er collapse. Then, he would probably be beaten up.
Hearing this, Li Er looked at Wei Zheng again. His emotions gradually calmed down, and he suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.
Looking at Wei Zheng, he was not excited at all. Something must have happened…
If those words just now were to frame him…
Li Er looked at Wei Zheng with a strange gaze.
"Minister Wei, tell me, what exactly happened?”
Wei Zheng sighed helplessly and explained.
" Your Majesty, His Highness did mention it, but when I confirmed it again, His Highness changed his mind…"
Li Er was speechless.
Li Er's face revealed a strange expression, as if he did not quite understand.
"You changed your mind?"
"Why?"
"Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince really doesn't know? Was it just a slip of the tongue?"
"This shouldn't be…"
Li Er frowned, puzzled.
Wei Zheng, on the other hand, had a helpless and bitter smile on his face, which puzzled Li Er.
"Are you hiding something from me?”
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Li Er was also depressed at this moment.
He had thought that a big surprise had descended from the sky, but he did not expect it to be all for nothing…
This made Li Er want to beat Wei Zheng up.
Why did he come here to talk to me if he didn't know the method?
Do you expect me to shamelessly ask the Crown Prince for advice?
Although the method of purifying the fine salt was very important, it was really difficult to choose compared to Li Er's face.
Wei Zheng saw that Li Er was looking at him with an increasingly unfriendly gaze, so he did not hide anything. He gritted his teeth and told him.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants me to agree to one condition if he wants me to tell you the method to purify the fine salt…"
Before Wei Zheng could finish, Li Er waved his hand.
"Just this?"
"Why don't you just agree to it?"
"I say, Minister Wei, for the sake of the imperial court, it is worth it to make some sacrifices!”
"You're an important official of the Imperial Court. How can you be so petty and only care about your own interests?”
......
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng was confused!
Good heavens, this Li Er sold his teammates so fast…
Suddenly, Li Er seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked straight at Wei Zheng.
"Wait…"
"Did the Crown Prince say what the conditions are?”
"You two…"
Li Er looked at Wei Zheng strangely and said.
He met Li Er's probing gaze…
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Wei Zheng was dumbfounded!
What kind of look was that?
If the other party was not Li Er, Wei Zheng would have jumped up and hit him!
This was simply an insult to him!
"Your Majesty, I have my bottom line!”
Wei Zheng said indignantly.
Hearing this, Li Er restrained himself and waved at Wei Zheng.
"Minister Wei, for the benefit of the imperial court, when it's time to make sacrifices, we still have to make sacrifices…"
"I know your bottom line as a person, but on this matter, I think you can put your bottom line aside first…"
"What can be compared to fine salt?”
"Minister Wei, don't you think so?"
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Hearing Li Er's words, Wei Zheng could not help but fall into deep thought.
These words sounded a little strange!
However, seeing that Li Er suddenly seemed to be quite open-minded, Wei Zheng did not hide it anymore and said honestly.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants me to bring him out of the palace to play…"
"If Your Majesty does not mind, this lowly subject will agree…"
After saying that, Wei Zheng looked at Li Er expectantly.
He thought to himself, this is your son anyway. If you don't mind him going out of the palace to play, I don't care either!
There was nothing to worry about!
Hearing this, Li Er was stunned on the spot.
He had expected that Li Chengqian would use this to rope in Wei Zheng, an important official of the Imperial Court, but he did not expect that it was just to leave the Palace?
Compared to leaving the palace, fine salt was obviously more important!
However, if the Crown Prince went out to play, it was inevitable that he would encounter some danger. This also made Li Er worry.
One had to know that the current Li Chengqian's position in Li Er's heart was no longer the same!
The Crown Prince was more like a think tank for Li Er, and he had unknowingly become dependent on him!
Li Er pondered for two seconds, gritted his teeth, and made a decision!
"Then let the Crown Prince leave the palace!"
"As for the guards, Zhen will send someone to keep an eye on them. Minister Wei, you just have to follow the Crown Prince's orders!”
Hearing this, Wei Zheng was relieved.
Since Li Er said that he would send someone to protect him, Wei Zheng had nothing to worry about.
After all, this was under the Emperor's feet. In Chang 'an Fortress, the Golden Guards would immediately arrive at the scene as soon as they were called.
For Wei Zheng, the biggest advantage was that he did not have to follow Li Chengqian all the time, and he did not have to pay him…
"I understand!"
"This subordinate will do it now!"
