Li Shen and others went to the East Palace together. Li Chengqian hasn't come back yet. So Li Shen went directly to the Crown Princess Su. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would avoid suspicion. But Li Shen is different. Li Shen is only eight years old. Same age as Li Zhi. And they are both Li Chengqian's younger brothers. A little boy's brother is looking for his sister-in-law. The censor couldn't say anything.
Li Shen first saluted Su, "I've met my sister-in-law."
"Well, the tenth brother is here. Your eldest brother has come to the palace many times to thank you for saving your mother. But your eldest brother is too busy and has no time. He also said that he would invite you to the East Palace for dinner in a while." Su Shi return courtesy
"Sister-in-law. Tell your elder brother not to be so quarrelsome. We are all brothers and don't worry about it. I have something to ask for today," Li Shen said directly.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Su asked
"Excuse me, sister-in-law, please tell me. Let me ask my eldest brother to intercede with Du He at home. Just say that I bought Wang Hongfu's house. Wang Hongfu also joined me and asked Du He to show his favor. Let Wang Hongfu and his family go." Li Shen said. Then Li Shen had no reason. He told the Su family everything about how Wang Hongfu offended the Du family, how Du He took action against Wang Hongfu, and how he wanted to buy someone else's house at a low price.
Su Shi was also very angry after hearing this. "It's unreasonable. It's lawless. Don't worry, tenth brother. I will tell your elder brother about this. This Du He is too dandy. If this gets out, others will think that he is taking advantage of your elder brother's influence."
"Okay, sister-in-law. Then I'll leave first. It's getting late and it's time to go back to the palace. Otherwise, Aye may not be allowed to leave the palace." Li Shen said goodbye.
"Yeah. Okay then. Don't worry, your elder brother will take care of this matter. You, a prince, don't have to be afraid of him, a man without a title." Su said.
Li Shen left the East Palace and went directly back to the palace.
----------------------------------------
In the evening, Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace. Mrs. Su helped Li Chengqian change clothes and wash up and then said to Li Chengqian, "Prince Ji is here today."
"King Ji? Ah, you're talking about Lao Shi. What's the matter with him?" Li Chengqian was still a little unaccustomed to the newly changed title of King Ji.
Mrs. Su told Li Chengqian what Li Shen said. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Li Chengqian's expression was not very good. Du He was from the Prince's Mansion.
If the censor knew about this, he would be impeached again. In the past year, Wei King Li Tai has gained the support of many people, and they are all officials from aristocratic families.
He has been impeached frequently in the past six months, even for daily trivial matters. He was already very worried. Now that Du He is still looking for trouble for him like this, how can he not make him angry and order his servants to recruit Du He.
Du He came after a while, and Li Chengqian didn't talk nonsense. He said directly to Du He, "Wang Hongfu's house in Dongshi has been bought by King Ji. Wang Hongfu is also a member of King Ji now. Let's forget about this matter. You should be lucky that Lao Shi came to me to tell you that now Mr. Shi is someone who can speak in front of His Majesty.
If he said this to His Majesty, you should know the consequences, and the matter will be over. Don't make trouble for others anymore, I'm warning you, Lao Shi is not to be trifled with. Even though he is only eight years old, he dares to directly bribe His Majesty with money. I couldn't even think about it, but he did it and succeeded, so don't mess with him and get down. "
Du He was not willing to give in when he heard the previous words, but when he heard what the prince said later, his jaw dropped. He was the first person in history. Did you succeed in bribing the emperor?
Du He showed unwillingness in his eyes after going down.
In the Duke Zhao's Mansion, Li Lizhi, Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Chong were sitting in the front hall of Li Lizhi's courtyard. After Changsun Wuji replied, he heard that King Ji was here today and went to Li Lizhi's place, so he came over to ask what happened.
He never thought that Li Lizhi would report to him that she was the princess, Li Shen was the prince, and they were siblings from the same father. How could a princess report to a duke, so he asked himself.
Li Lizhi didn't hide it either. "Lao Shi, I want to partner with me in the wine business. I have agreed to become a shareholder. I will only take 10% of the shares if I am not responsible for the affairs."
"Why is he looking for you to do business? Shouldn't he be looking for Aye or me?" Changsun Chong asked.
Li Lizhi glanced at him. In fact, Li Lizhi was also dissatisfied with Changsun Chong's daily affairs. Changsun Chong didn't seek advancement all day long, he only knew how to fool around with the dandies from the princes and princes in Chang'an.
"He is my brother," Li Lizhi said lightly.
"So what." Changsun Chong didn't understand what Li Lizhi meant.
But Changsun Wuji on the side is a servant. How can you not understand this? Knowing what Li Lizhi means, Li Shen is her younger brother. I don’t know you. Changsun Chong said this.
"Chong'er, don't talk nonsense, that's Prince Ji, the prince."
"That's why we should cooperate with you." Changsun Chong was very dissatisfied with Li Shen's cooperation with Li Lizhi.
Isn't it Li Lizhi who makes money? Now many people outside are saying behind his back that he only relies on Princess Changle to earn a living. Moreover, the people he played with all gave him face to Princess Changle, which made him feel very shameless because he was clearly marrying the princess.
Li Lizhi said nothing and looked at Changsun Chong like a fool. Changsun Wuji also hated the iron and said, "From now on, you can't be more busy with political affairs and less ridiculous with those dandies. King Ji is your Majesty's biological son. I am the Duke of the country and an important minister in the court. Can you cooperate? Eight years old You really don’t know the truth that all children know, you want to make me mad to death.”
"Kelizhi is my wife, ah, your daughter-in-law, why don't you still cooperate with me, Duke Zhao's Mansion?" Changsun Chong asked again in dissatisfaction.
Changsun Wuji was so angry that he almost lost his temper. He couldn't understand this. He had been in an official position for so long. "Sir, didn't you listen to what Li Zhi said just now? Prince Ji is her younger brother. Your Majesty is happy that your sister is doing business with your younger brother. Forget it, starting from tomorrow, you will not be allowed to go out after the court, otherwise you will be punished by family law .”
Then he said to Li Lizhi gently, "Li Zhi, please discipline Chong'er more. Don't spend money on him in the future. Don't mess around with these people all day long. There is nothing serious about it."
----------------------------------------
After Li Shen returned to the palace, he went to the chief room. Distillation equipment was used in the production of penicillin. Distilled alcohol. So this time it was not difficult to build a house. It’s just that it’s much bigger than before.
Li Shen told them that they must make it within two days. And you are not allowed to mention it to others in the future. If someone asked, he would just say that the equipment he was working on to refine penicillin was fine. If anyone told him, Li Shen would not be polite.
As a condition that when they can leave the palace in the future, Li Shen will arrange for them to continue working and give them fertile land. Life can be guaranteed, Li Shen is not a gentleman, modern people love money.
The next day, Li Shen asked Shitou to go out of the palace to find Wang Hongfu with a hundred guans. Before that, he had to go to Li Lizhi to buy 500 guans.
He also told Shi Shitou what Wang Hongfu had to do, but was afraid that Shitou would forget it and wrote it down on paper.
In fact, the main points are: first, give Wang Hongfu money to find a house and move. The second is to clean up the house and prepare the equipment, and the third is to purchase the lees and grain and make wine-making tools.
The rest will be discussed when Li Shen delivers the distillation equipment. Worker's words. Li Shen was going to attack his village. This year, it’s better to find your own people to be safe. Li Shen's restaurant must be registered in household registration. If you run away you will have no household registration. Then you have to take your whole family into the mountains. Otherwise, even the county seat cannot enter. Therefore, Li Shen felt that it was still safer to eat directly.
