Li Guang thought to himself: Can the princess not be called this way? She feels like a father-in-law.
Lobby on the first floor
Wang Xiaoer greeted the chicken who came to die with a smile on his face.
This chicken is none other than Li Mu, the steward of the family of Li Yuanchang, the first king of Han Dynasty.
Li Mu is also a branch of the royal family of Lao Li. As the Li family clan, he was assigned to Li Yuanchang. Otherwise, outsiders would not dare to come to Li Mingda's place and come here arrogantly without repaying their debts.
Wang Xiaoer looked at the domineering Li Mu as if he were seeing a dying chicken, and he smiled and approached him.
"Hey, Butler Li, what kind of wind has brought you here today?"
Li Mu led his two subordinates into the door and replied arrogantly in the hall: "Of course it's a happy day. Your Majesty is going to entertain guests in the evening. He asked me to come over at what time the tea will be served."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Tea is the best in the world. There is a plaque signed by His Majesty himself."
"Well, that's right. Otherwise, other princes will look down on us. As per the old rules, bring me 6 boxes of second-class ones."
"Okay, but it's just the money."
"Accounting"
Hehe, Wang Xiaoer was laughing like a chicken thief in his heart. Li Mu still came in after giving Li Mu a set, and then continued to kill him.
"Oh, this little guy can't make the decision, he has to let the shopkeeper do it."
Wang Xiaoer's words like this did not arouse Li Mu's suspicion. After all, the tea here is not cheap. A box of several hundred taels of tea is really not the responsibility of a young boy. He waved his hand and ordered Wang Xiaoer in a disapproving tone: " Go, call your shopkeeper to this butler."
"Wait a moment, I'm going to call our shopkeeper right now."
After bowing his head, Wang Xiaoer went up to the second floor and winked at the shopkeeper who was waiting at the stairs. The shopkeeper patted him on the shoulder to indicate that he had done well, and then he went downstairs and started his performance.
He went downstairs and bowed his hands, but politely said to Li Mu: "Hey, Butler Li, I'm sorry, there are distinguished guests in the store who just went up to entertain me. Are you here to pay back the money?"
Li Mu was a little unhappy when he heard this and his voice rose twice: "Shopkeeper Li, what more money do you have? I came to pick up the tea today on the order of the King of Han. Please wrap it up for me quickly."
"this money"
"Accounting"
"Butler Li, things are different today. We have tea, but we have to pay in cash."
"Why, are you still afraid that my Han Dynasty will default on your debt?"
Shopkeeper Li had a look of embarrassment on his face: "Young man, that's not what you meant. Word came from the palace that my master will come to check the accounts soon. Look, if I don't pay the bills, I might not be able to come back." His words were full of grievance and helplessness.
Li Mingda heard clearly from upstairs that the shopkeeper and the waiter were both good at acting, and it seemed that they could be promoted in the future.
Li Mu knew what the other party meant. The eunuch and palace maid who had solved the problem during Li Mingda's last check ended up in a miserable state.
However, who is he? He is the steward of the Han Dynasty. The branch of the Li family is also the royal family. Besides, with the support of the Han Dynasty, he is used to being domineering and domineering. Naturally, he will not give money honestly. He opened his mouth and said perfunctorily: "I owe you first." , I will tell the prince when I go back to check the accounts, and when I have time, I will come to the palace and say a nice word for you."
Shopkeeper Li continues his performance
He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Let's see, today I owe everything before I take over. But you have to pay for today's batch of goods. The palace has issued a message, no matter who it is, everyone has the money and the goods." Perfectly, the pit was dug two meters deeper.
"Hey, I still don't believe it. What will happen if I don't give you money today? Is it easy to bully the King of Han?" Li Mu skillfully raised the banner of King of Han.
"Butler Li, that's not what I meant. You see, we are all people with masters, and we all act according to orders from above. I can't help it. Why don't you go back and tell the prince and the palace first? Can’t we just let the palace send another message?"
"Hey, I'm giving you some face. I asked the prince to go to the palace and tell you. It's just a few boxes of tea. Let me tell you. If the prince is willing to come here to get it, it's for your master's sake. Otherwise, I'll give this crap to the prince. I don’t know if I’m not rare”
"Look what you said, what is the sign given by His Majesty like this?"
"What's wrong with Yuci~! Yu" Li Mu originally planned to raise his head and continue to argue, but suddenly he thought that the word "Yuci" refers to the current emperor Li Shimin. If he dares to say any dirty words, it will be spread to the palace. If the King of Han knew about it, he would be beaten.
Li Mu's face showed impatience: "Don't do this, your Majesty naturally likes the gift given by His Majesty. Give me the tea quickly. Your Majesty will entertain guests tonight."
What he said just now sounded like murder, but Li Mu didn't fall for it. If you can't kill a chicken with a soft knife, you have to use a hard one. Shopkeeper Li cleared his throat: "Steward Li, why don't you pay the tea leaves today?" It will not be given, and it will be the same when the King of Han comes. "It means it is completely non-negotiable.
Li Mu, who had originally planned to take the things and leave, was naturally arrogant and angry when he heard that a young shopkeeper dared to argue with him: "Hey, you have a long face, don't you? I tell you that the king of heaven is here today, so you can't." "Bring it out to me, otherwise I will destroy your shop if you delay the prince's business. If the prince accuses your majesty, your master will be the worst able to afford it."
"My surname is Li, don't think that I, Li Li, don't know that you are doing evil everywhere in the name of the Han Palace. This is the royal property, and you want to cheat and get here~! You are full and ready!!"
"You're so fucking tired of living. Today is the tea that the King of Han wants. You have to give it to me even if you don't want to give it. It's up to me, the King of Han Mansion, to keep accounts for you because of His Majesty's face. Otherwise, what will happen if I just take it for nothing? If you have the ability, go and sue." Even if you come to the imperial court, Your Majesty will not dare to do anything to my King of Han!"
Li Mu dared to shout like this only because he was confident. Since the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin had been very polite to his brothers. If he hadn't committed an unforgivable crime, he would never get over it.
Why did Li Shimin do this?
In order to gain a good reputation and to silence the world, the whole country was saying that he killed his brother to seize the throne.
Li Shimin was one of the few emperors in history who did not kill the founding heroes or aggressively attack the royal family to consolidate imperial power. Some people said that he did all this to quell the negative impact of the notoriety of the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
It is believed that this kind of thinking of Li Shimin caused some princes, nobles and many people in the Li family to have thoughts that they should not have: Li Shimin did not dare to do anything to them for the sake of reputation, so what can he do if he is arrogant and domineering? If you have the ability, you, Li Shimin, come and kill me. .
Li Mingda signaled Li Guang to speak
Li Guang shouted loudly: "You are plotting against the royal family, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, embezzling the money of the Han Dynasty Palace and slandering the Han Dynasty, and also maliciously slandering His Majesty and the princess."
Li Mu, who was so angry, didn't even realize that the one who made the sound was Butler Li opposite him, who scolded back: "Fart, I'm telling you, I'm going to order this tea. If you're wise, get it quickly, or I'll smash your tea today." Tea House"
What was said downstairs was all said and done, the hole that needed to be dug was dug, and the other party stretched out its neck to bring it over. Since this chicken was so cooperative, this good show should reach its climax.
Li Mingda twisted his neck and told his subordinates: "Let's go, let's send this chicken on the road with this princess."
