Tang Sufan raised his eyes slightly, tried his best to look like a master, and said slowly: "Young man is not talented. He knows astronomy and geography at the top. He knows two thousand things before and calculates the future later. The daughter of a daughter can look at the world with a smile at the snap of her fingers. Hundreds of years later, it’s true again…”
When Li Shimin heard Tang Sufan's self-praise, he was so angry that his breathing became a little louder.
Knowing astronomy and geography from the top is still a matter of the future, so have you considered that I am the emperor?
The most abominable thing is that you are giving me a daughter at the snap of your fingers. I am an emperor and have to live with my belt tightened. You, a teenager, are bragging about a daughter for me!
Li Shimin couldn't stand listening anymore, and shouted with a fierce look: "You are the only one who still knows about the future? If you continue to talk nonsense, I will be punished for certain crimes. Not only will your hands be chopped off, but your tongue will also be cut out!"
After that, even a few guards who really couldn't stand listening suddenly gathered around, their eyes became even more fierce, "You kid, why don't you brag that you are the emperor's father?"
This made Tang Sufan, who had just started talking, bewildered.
Damn it, the plot is wrong. The plot shouldn't be that this bitch doesn't believe me after I say it. I have to prove it, so that I can slap him in the face and pretend to be cool and it will end smoothly? Why did you go under the knife directly?
What's going on? Which dog author changed his routine?
"Wait!" Tang Sufan raised his hand and shouted, his mind changed, and he was ready to implement a delaying strategy.
Then he said: "Young man also has some wealth, how about making a bet with him?"
Li Shimin said indifferently and disdainfully: "Oh, how much family do you have..."
Furthermore, what qualifications do you have to bet against me?
Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Tang Sufan slowly stretched out a finger and said: "Ten thousand strings."
Li Shimin was stunned. He wanted to say how much of your wealth you could bet against me, but he swallowed his words directly.
Although he was indeed the emperor, the Tang Dynasty was just established and people's livelihood was in decline. In the past two years, he had issued tax exemptions for recuperation and recuperation. In the first year of Zhenguan, he was blackmailed by Jieli Khan at the Weishui Alliance.
What's more, the national treasury already has no money, and coupled with the continuous famines in the past two years, the fiscal deficit is very serious.
Every day, the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs have to urge them to use money here and there, to build water conservancy projects, to open up farmland, and everywhere money is being spent. At the same time, they have to organize their military equipment.
Internal money is a place where even a rat will cry out when it gets in. Even his own queen is constantly reducing the expenses of the harem, and even has to make some female celebrities to subsidize the expenses. This shows how poor Li Shimin is.
For emperors in Chinese history, it is extremely rare for emperors to be as poor as Li Shimin, or as diligent and frugal as Li Shimin. It is also because of these qualities that Li Shimin has been known as the Ming Emperor for generations to come.
Ten thousand guan! This little thief is really rich!
Suddenly, Li Shimin felt that the words in his heart were no longer good. Why are you not qualified to bet with me? No, you are qualified, very qualified!
Although Li Shimin was surprised that this little thief was rich, he was still a dignified emperor after all. He pretended to be indifferent and said: "What are you betting on?"
Tang Sufan said slowly: "Just bet on the future?"
"Oh, what's next?"
"Since it is something in the future, it must not be a trivial matter. Let's bet on the future trends of the court."
Li Shimin, who had a gloomy face and full of anger just now, suddenly lit up, "What's going on in the court? You're betting on what's going on in the court in front of the emperor!"
Yeah!
I'm afraid this kid just heard some gossip somewhere and came to bet on officials' promotions or something, but I am the emperor, you are not at my mercy!
He seemed to have seen the ten thousand yuan transferred to his own money.
Now it was Li Shimin's turn to pretend to be indifferent and said: "Okay, then tell me about the trends in the imperial court?"
As soon as Li Shimin said these words, everyone was stunned. His Majesty, who just wanted to be furious and wanted to kill people, suddenly started gambling with others! ?
Several people around me shouted in their hearts, Your Majesty, where is your dignity? Where is your dominance? He teased your daughter and kicked you, the emperor!
Tang Sufan said: "Just bet on military affairs."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this man to bet on the military.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Oh? Then tell me, what will be the future trends of the imperial court?"
Tang Sufan said: "Count the days. In a few days, Your Majesty will be talking to the court about our plan for the Tang Dynasty to strengthen its troops and attack the Eastern Turks in the coming year! There will definitely be rumors in the court. Just ask around and you will know. !”
Hiss~
Li Shimin, who originally looked like he was strategizing, immediately shrank his pupils after hearing Tang Sufan's first words.
Even Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin on one side were almost shocked!
Their absolute confidants knew that Li Shimin was planning to attack the Eastern Turks next year.
Indeed, Li Shimin has been thinking about the shame of the Weishui Alliance day and night since he succeeded to the throne. In the past two years, the Turks have continued to invade the border, which has become a major worry for him.
In the past two years, he has carried out drastic reforms in the court, implemented the government army system, hidden troops among the people, and accumulated military strength.
Even in life, he is frugal in everything and dedicated to political affairs.
The purpose of all this is for an idea in Li Shimin's heart, to wash away the shame of the Weishui River and attack the Turks!
It had been almost three years since he took the throne. While he was cultivating his national strength, the idea of attacking the Turks became even more impatient in his mind.
He has indeed decided to be a gambler next year and mobilize the whole country to attack the Turks. However, there will definitely be countless objections from the top and bottom of the court, so he is ready to think about a complete strategy and discuss it in the court in a few days!
He was even prepared to face numerous objections in the court.
But now, only a few close ministers know about this! How can it be? How could he, a kid who lives outside the world, know what I was thinking! ?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt an inexplicable chill running down his spine. Why would he think about this son having an affair with his daughter now?
Could this person really know the secrets of heaven and predict the future?
Although Li Shimin's heart was constantly turbulent, he suppressed the shock in his heart and pretended to be indifferent and said: "Hmph, how can you, a child with a yellow mouth, be able to discuss the important matters of the imperial court? In addition, the Weishui Alliance has long been the leader of the current emperor. If you are worried about attacking the Turks, it is reasonable, but how can this mean that you know the future?"
At the same time, Li Shimin tilted his head and gave a look to the two shocked old men beside him, that is, can you two be more calm like me? Are you a dignified prince and a first-class official?
Fang Xuanling understood immediately and quickly pretended not to know anything. He must not let this kid see any flaws.
"this……"
Tang Sufan choked up. Indeed, he proposed this bet just to relax the time and see if he could ease the conflict. Why did this bitch's daughter look so beautiful?
At the same time, I can let this bitch see my own financial resources. After all, I am also a time-traveler, and I still have "A Brief History of the Tang Dynasty" memorized in my mind. Budgeting is not a 100% guarantee.
Looking at what Old Man Li is wearing and having so many powerful guards, he knows that this bitch is definitely a rich man. It would be even better if he could make a small fortune from him.
The Weishui Alliance is indeed a major concern for Li Er. When he says this to others, it does seem like he is being deceived.
Tang Sufan carefully counted the days in his heart, and it seemed that in eight days it would be time for Li Er to officially announce his preparations to attack the East Turks in the court. There was even a quarrel in the court for two or three months.
If it hadn't been for the severe drought and severe snow disaster in East Turkestan in the third year of Zhenguan, Li Er might not have been able to attack the Turks as he wished in the third year of Zhenguan.
Cheng Yaojin said with a fierce look on his face: "Little pretty face, what you say doesn't count. If you have the ability, can you tell me who is leading the troops this time?"
Li Shimin raised his eyes, yes, idiot Cheng was right.
Tang Sufan shook his head, pretended to be helpless, and said slowly: "That's all, then I will be considered the leader of this battle..."
