Cheng Yaojin and others next to him almost died laughing. As expected of His Highness the King of Shu, revenge never takes overnight. The next court is waiting here. If he was not afraid that His Majesty would cause trouble for him, he would probably have done it directly outside Tai Chi Hall. Dare to invite Li Chengqian.
Being able to endure going to Changlemen has already given Changsun Wuji great respect.
"Your Highness, please don't ruin the brothel." Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and smoothed things over. After all, he also knew that Li Ke didn't really come here to invite Li Chengqian, and it was impossible for Li Chengqian to go.
"It's true that the brothel is a place for listening to music, but you can't really do it just for the sake of listening to music!" Cheng Yaojin said with a wink.
"Hahaha!" A group of military attachés burst out laughing instantly, mainly because His Royal Highness, King of Shu, has been to the brothel for so many years. He really listened to the music. That's right, can you believe this? Among the beautiful oirans there, none of them would want to be kissed by Fangze, but it turned out that His Highness the King of Shu was just listening to the music and had never done anything!
Therefore, every time these rough guys mentioned it, they couldn't help but laugh wildly.
"Gungun, you guys know nothing. Besides touching girls' butts, what else do you like?" Li Ke rolled his eyes and said directly.
"Hahaha, Your Highness, you are still young and don't know the benefits of this." Several generals laughed.
The civil servants next to him frowned and moved aside involuntarily. Changsun Wuji even snorted and walked away.
Li Chengqian also said helplessly: "Third brother, you can go and play by yourself. My eldest brother has something else to do, so I won't go with you."
"Hehe, okay, I'll go visit my eldest brother another day." Li Ke said with a smile, and after speaking, Li Ke raised his hand to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian nodded and walked away with a limp. In fact, Li Shimin allowed him to ride a carriage because of his foot illness, but Li Chengqian himself refused and insisted on walking.
Looking at Li Chengqian's back, Li Ke paused slightly. In fact, Li Chengqian had a very good character. After all these years, Li Chengqian could really be called a good big brother and a good prince. He not only studied hard in his career but also studied hard. How to be a good emperor and be kind to all your brothers and sisters.
As for the ridiculous things he did later, Li Ke felt that it was because of his increasingly serious foot problems, and then Li Shimin wanted to replace the prince because of this problem, and then Li Chengqian gave up on himself.
After all, he worked very hard in his studies. When they were young, Li Chengqian and Li Ke studied together, and they had to take more papers than the students of later generations.
Think about it, a person is conscientious and has studied hard for more than ten years since he was eight years old. In the end, someone tells you that all your previous efforts were in vain.
This is like an excellent student who has been studying day and night since childhood, and his grades are enough to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. However, before the college entrance examination in the senior year of high school, your family tells you not to take the exam. If you pass the exam, you will not be allowed to go to school. You will stay at home. Work in the fields.
I guess everyone is going crazy.
After Li Chengqian left, Li Ke carelessly said, "Mr. Su Guo, everyone, take your leave. Let's have a drink together another day. I'll treat you to the strongest wine."
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu keeps his word." Cheng Yaojin smiled and bowed his hands to Li Ke, watching Li Ke leave.
…
Li Ke rushed directly to the manor outside his palace, and at this moment Li Shimin was also waiting for Chang Lin's report.
"How was it?" Li Shimin looked at Chang Lin who came back and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness the King of Shu has left long ago." Chang Lin almost blurted out the words "left long ago".
"Hmph!" Li Shimin snorted coldly, this bastard, why don't you see him with such eyesight on weekdays? Run the fastest at this time!
"Do you think we underestimated this bastard?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
Chang Lin was silent, he couldn't answer these words. Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't let him answer, but continued on his own: "You also saw it in the court just now. This kid just took care of the left and right, and he directly told his eldest grandson Wu. Ji’s impeachment was resolved invisibly, and he also bypassed me and directly finalized the matter. This is no small skill!"
Chang Lin continued to be silent... Are you serious? Do you call this someone who talks about you? This is His Highness the King of Shu. If you had dared to say this to anyone else, you would have been so angry that you would have pulled him down and beheaded him in public.
"Your Majesty, what do you think about this?" Chang Lin applauded appropriately.
"Forget it, that's what we said, and after Changsun Wuji agrees, Li Ke won't go to Changsun Dalang to cause trouble. This kid will save me trouble every day." Li Shimin waved his hand.
Chang Lin understood immediately.
However, Chang Lin still had an idea that he didn't want to say. He hesitated and finally didn't speak.
Li Shimin noticed his expression and immediately said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Your Majesty, um, I have an immature idea, that is, one year later... what if the dowry given by His Highness the King of Shu is really more than the betrothal gift of the Duke of Qi?" Chang Lin asked tentatively.
Li Shimin suddenly froze.
This is a good question! It's a problem they never imagined.
However, it’s unlikely, right? Although the Changsun family is not like some aristocratic families that have been passed down for a long time, they have followed the founding of the Li family since the Li family started. The rewards are quite a lot, and they have also given the Changsun family many business matters over the years. Let them run it.
The profits earned should be quite a lot, what does Li Ke have? Except for the Yuelai Trading Company that he organized himself, I heard that Li Ke basically never took any money from it, so that trading firm only kept its capital! What else could he have?
Can this be more than the betrothal gift given by the eldest grandson's family?
"Although His Highness the King of Shu is a bit reckless, please think about it. Over the years, His Highness the King of Shu has never fought an uncertain battle." Chang Lin added.
Li Shimin: "..."
When you said this, Li Shimin suddenly felt that things were not safe.
The problem is that he really can't think of where Li Ke can make money? You can't take bribes and bend the law, right? He doesn't have the conditions either.
"The situation is already like this, let's talk about it then." Li Shimin has a headache, and it is too late to think about this now. The point is, if the betrothal gift offered by the eldest grandson's family is really not as good as Li Ke's, then it will be considered as his regret, and the eldest grandson will It was impossible for Wuji to pull that old face and regret it.
However, despite having a headache, Li Shimin was also a little curious. He wanted to see why Li Ke made so much money in one year.
…
Back at Zhuangzi outside the city, Li Ke didn't go out. He had to wait here for Lu Daqiang and the others to finish what they planned to make. According to the progress reported by Tian Meng yesterday, it wouldn't take long.
In fact, Li Ke's guess was good. Just one day later, Tian Meng came to report excitedly.
"Your Highness! Both the spinning machine and the loom were successful!"
"Oh?! Let's go take a look!" Li Ke stood up with the same excitement, Changsun Wuji, wait and see! More than money, right? !
