Li Yuan lay on the chair with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Shimin, you are in trouble."
Li Shimin also had a wry smile on his face, yes, he was really in trouble.
If things go wrong, the position of the prince may change hands. BIquGe.biz
But he alone does not have the final say in matters in the imperial court. The Guanlong Group behind him owns Li Chengqian.
But judging from today's situation, Li Ke has accumulated countless forces in obscurity.
Even if Li Ke rebels now, he will have the strength to push him down from the throne.
However, compared to these troubles in the future, he is more interested in Li Ke's gift now.
Can you give him a little bit? After all, he, Li Shimin, had no credit but also hard work for holding the wedding this time.
There are so many that, taken together, they exceed Datang’s annual tax revenue.
But now is not the time to split the money.
In the courtyard, Li Shimin's civil servants and generals were like ants on a hot pot, restless.
Damn it, raising the price of the gift so high, what should they do?
Originally, they thought that giving him a few hundred or even a thousand guan would be a way of giving face to His Majesty and Li Ke, but it is different now. They all start with a thousand guan, and there is no cap on the 10,000 guan, and there are even 100,000 taels of gold.
Damn it, where did this rich man come from?
They didn't even hear it.
One hundred thousand taels, that’s gold! Either 100,000 guan of copper coins, or 100,000 guan of copper coins. Among them, only the Duke-level families can afford it, but that is all their property.
"Changsun Sikong, you are the uncle of the King of Shu. Although you are not a relative, you are better than a relative. How many gifts will the Changsun Mansion give you?"
Fang Xuanling walked to the livid-faced Changsun Wuji and asked in a low voice.
"Let's get some air, otherwise we'll offend others if we do more or less." Yu Shinan also came up and whispered.
Changsun Wuji wanted to yell in his heart, I have no money, all my money was stolen by that damn King of Shu.
The King of Shu is not his nephew, he is a devil who eats people without spitting out their bones.
But he can't.
He could only gritted his teeth and said: "It's just a congratulatory gift, as long as the gift is light and the affection is heavy. People like the King of Shu don't care about the size of the congratulatory gifts everyone sends?"
"You are Zuo Pushe. I wonder how much the gift Mr. Xing will bring?"
Fang Xuanling rolled her eyes, I asked you this in vain?
"My Duke Xing's family is poor, and I don't have any precious gifts. I can only give some money. In this case, let's follow what Lord Sikong said, everyone can give it as you like!"
Qin Qiong saw Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji discussing about sending gifts, and immediately walked outside. Only then did he realize that he had given less.
"Brother, where are you going?" Cheng Yaojin saw Qin Qiong walking outside and immediately caught up to him and asked.
Qin Qiong smiled and said: "I gave less. Go out and add more money, otherwise people will laugh. Your Highness, the King of Shu, is my Qin Qiong's savior."
When Yuchi Jingde saw the two brothers leaving, he immediately got out of the crowd and walked towards the gate. He also realized that he was less prepared.
"You two, why don't you wait for me? We are on the same boat."
Qin Qiong made it clear and said with a smile: "I am going to give you a gift of 30,000 yuan. This is my entire worth, including the house."
"Brother, you are crazy!" Cheng Yaojin shouted in surprise.
Qin Qiong smiled and said: "I'm not crazy. Thirty thousand guan is nothing, but it can keep my Qin family rich for three generations."
Cheng Yaojin asked in a low voice: "Are you so sure that the King of Shu will..."
Yuchi Jingde also swallowed his saliva and said: "Yao Jin is right, there is no trace of that matter!"
"Hahaha, can't I take a gamble? You still can't see clearly today how many forces support King Shu?"
Cheng Yaojin pondered for a moment, then Cheng Yaojin said: "Brother, you and I..."
Yuchi Jingde was in trouble. He was loyal to Li Shimin. As for the King of Shu, he didn't like it very much. But for the sake of future generations, isn't it just money?
"I won the bet with Brother Qin back then. I'll bet with you again this time."
"Okay, let's go and deliver the congratulatory gifts in person."
The three of them borrowed paper and pen, wrote a gift list, and handed it to the butler at the door.
Hai Zhu picked up the gift list and read loudly: "Qin Qiong, Duke of Yi State, presents a box of gold and silver jewelry, two noodle shops, and a workshop, totaling 30,000 guan."
"Cheng Zhijie, Duke of Lu State, sent a congratulatory gift...a total of 30,000 guan."
"The Duke of Hubei, Yuchi Jingde, sent congratulatory gifts totaling 30,000 yuan."
Hai Zhu reported the congratulatory gifts from these three people, and the officials in the courtyard wailed in their hearts.
Damn it!
Thirty thousand guan?
This is bribery in disguise.
The group of civil servants who had just discussed it were immediately dumbfounded.
Fang Xuanling glanced at Changsun Wuji and said with a helpless smile: "Lord Sikong, I'm afraid this approach is too light on courtesy but heavy on affection."
"Damn Wagang bandits, you are trying to force us to a dead end!" Changsun Wuji cursed these three generals in his heart.
"Then let's do it according to our own situation!"
"I'll take the first step..."
After saying that, Changsun Wuji left quickly. He was afraid that if his butler gave the gift as he had given him before, Changsun Wuji would be embarrassed to live.
As he walked away, he still muttered: "What a King of Shu, a guy who is obsessed with money. I didn't expect you to get married and plot against everyone. Are you still shameless?"
"The Changsun Mansion sends a congratulatory gift..."
"A pair of calligraphy and painting, a pair of jade bottles."
No, that's all. Hai Zhu continued to read: "Xiao Yu of the Xiao Mansion, give me a mansion, a thousand acres of fertile land, 500 pieces of silk, 500 pieces of linen, a total of 20,000 pieces."
Everyone: "..."
Suddenly, Changsun Wuji stopped in his tracks, and his face instantly turned dark.
Everyone looked at Changsun Wuji. His eyes were full of mockery, surprise, and everything was expected...
Oh shit, is this housekeeper out of his mind?
Can't you see that the Changsun Mansion, as a relative of the emperor, was humble enough to give those two things as a gift to someone else?
Changsun Wuji quickly fled the yard, walked to Haizhu and said, "I just gave that to the King of Shu from my dog, and I haven't given it yet!"
"Lord Sikong, you said, I will repay it for you..." Haizhu said with a flattering smile.
"Thirty thousand strings."
"Master Sikong of the Changsun Mansion sent a congratulatory gift of thirty thousand guan."
"It was a congratulatory gift from Changsun Chong to the King of Shu."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that it was a gift from someone else's son. Let me tell you, the Changsun Mansion is extremely wealthy, so there is no way it could be so shabby.
Fang Xuanling and several ministers quickly left the courtyard, fearing that their family members would also follow the ceremony, which would be really unreasonable.
"The Duke of Xing's Mansion would like to send you a congratulatory gift of 30,000 yuan!"
"Princess Pingyang of the Prince Consort's Mansion sends a congratulatory gift of 50,000 guan."
"Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County, sent a congratulatory gift of 50,000 yuan."
"Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng sent a congratulatory gift... a pair of jade pendants, a sheep, and five hundred copper coins."
Everyone: "..."
Wei Zheng was indignant, thinking that when the wedding was completed, he would start a rant, which would make him poor for a year and unable to support his children.
Qin Qiong's coquettish operation caused a lot of bleeding among civil and military officials. It can be said that everyone hated Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde.
Wang Gui is also numb. It's a shame that he has been working so hard for a long time and still has to pay thirty thousand dollars. Who should he cry to?
"Wang Shangshu, it's almost time. I want to enter the cave..."
"The auspicious time has come, let's send the bride and groom into the bridal chamber!"
Li Ke happily took Li Shuwan and went to the bridal chamber to calculate the money that had arrived today.
