Li Jing was stunned. That's your son. If you don't talk to him, you want to talk to him, your father-in-law. What are you talking about?
Li Shimin saw that Li Jing's face was very ugly, so he smiled and said: "Li Aiqing, it's true that the King of Shu is my son, but think about it, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It would be shameless to beg for my own son, and you It’s different, he listens to you.”
"Your Majesty, the King of Shu does not listen to his ministers..."
"I don't care about this. As a minister, you should know how to share your worries. I will leave this matter to you."
Li Jing had already scolded Li Shimin's eighteenth generation ancestors in his heart.
But he could only accept the order and have a good talk with the King of Shu.
Its daybreak.
When Li Jing came out of the palace, he really couldn't think of any way to persuade the King of Shu to spend part of his money to support this military operation.
How could the cowardly King of Shu use his own money for military expenses?
Pooh!
If he could do this, the sun would rise in the west.
That's a guy who has an eye for money.
"master……"
Li Jing said to the housekeeper: "Go to the Prince of Shu's Mansion."
But the housekeeper said: "Master, the second master couldn't wait for you to come out, so he left with the guards in advance."
Li Jing frowned and asked, "Where are his two boys?"
"The second master said that he was tricked to death by your son-in-law this time. He will never come to Chang'an again, and there will be no landlord when he comes. The two sons will be treated as dead..."
Li Jing scolded: "Speak to the important point and don't repeat what the second child said."
The housekeeper's whole body trembled. He had never seen the master speak so loudly before.
"The second master said that the deed of his house in Chang'an City was given to the king of Shu by his son. The two young masters were accepted by the king of Shu and entered the youth camp. They said nothing and went back with the second master."
"He also said that even if the two young masters wanted to leave, they would not dare to leave without the military order of the King of Shu."
"What does this son-in-law want to do?"
"Is it interesting to have a fight at our Li family?"
Li Jing sighed, now it's better, the entire Li family is reunited.
"Let's go to Prince Shu's Mansion."
Li Ke slept until he woke up naturally today. To Li Ke's surprise, Li Shuwan also slept with her until three o'clock in the morning.
Maybe I was too tired yesterday.
"Madam, wake up!"
Li Shuwan rubbed her eyes, and her eyes widened suddenly. She looked at the sun coming in through the glazed windows and asked, "What time is it?"
"Maybe it's almost lunch!"
"My lord, why didn't you wake me up earlier? Now my reputation is over."
Li Ke touched Li Shuwan's head and said with a smile: "What's the matter? I want to sleep until dark. Who dares to say no and chew the tongue? Take him out to feed the dog."
"Hahaha, not to mention the people in this palace and the maids are used to it, they won't say anything."
Li Shuwan quickly put on her clothes and began to sit in front of the glass mirror to dress up. Li Ke lay on the bed and squinted for a while.
in the living room.
With a dark face, Li Jing drank all the pot of tea and walked back and forth in the living room for half an hour, but his daughter and son-in-law didn't get up.
This is not the most irritating thing. The most irritating thing is that he asked the maids to call the prince and princess. The maids actually said that they did not dare. The prince had a clear rule that anyone who dared to disturb his sleep would be expelled from the palace.
The job in this prince's palace is easy and very free, especially the money he makes is a lot, twice as much as in other noble palaces. At the end of the year, he even gives out red envelopes.
Why did they bother the prince and princess when they had nothing to do?
Isn’t this a brain disease?
However, as a father and a minister, he did not dare to go in person.
"King Shu, this is simply too much!"
"How could I expect such an unruly daughter to come from the Education Office? Next time I go home, I must let her mother teach her a lesson."
"How dignified is this? How dignified is this?"
"My face has been completely humiliated by her."
After Li Shuwan finished dressing up, she went out immediately and saw Qingxiu running towards her in a panic.
"Princess, the master has come over and is now in the living room. He is very angry."
"ah?"
"Dad is here, what is he doing here?"
"It's over, it's over, Qingxiu, why don't you come and call me?"
Qingxiu said helplessly: "Princess, this servant doesn't dare. The prince has said that anyone who dares to disturb his sleep will be expelled from the Prince of Shu's Mansion."
Li Shuwan: "..."
Li Shuwan ran into the house again and shouted: "Your Majesty, get up quickly, my father is coming, he will definitely scold me, you go and use it as a shield for me!"
Li Ke laughed twice in his heart. He knew last night that Liangzhou came to eight hundred miles to rush. According to his father's character, he would never come to beg him, and the person who begged him would definitely be his father-in-law. Resentment.
The father-in-law still had illusions about the Li family in Longxi. The emperor wanted his father-in-law to bid farewell to the Li family completely.
This time I went to Longxi. It was still very difficult to completely win over the Li family in Longxi. After all, a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake.
The Li family has been operating in Longxi for hundreds of years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has an iron wall.
From local squires to county magistrates to governors, they were all members of the Li family in Longxi.
Especially in terms of business, it can be said that the Li family of Longxi has the final say. He had previously sent Ma Qiu to Liangzhou to carry out business, but he encountered various difficulties.
Today, Ma Qiu has not yet established a firm foothold in Liangzhou City. He still has the support of Li Daliang. Just two days ago, he sent the white-faced scholar to Liangzhou to help Ma Qiu.
Therefore, he could only drag Li Koshi, the governor of Lanzhou, into the pirate ship, and then let his father-in-law completely break with the Longxi family.
In this case, things will be much easier.
To capture the Li family in Longxi, are you worried about not having military spending?
The food and grass were delivered to the front line without having to transport them thousands of miles by themselves.
After a while, Li Ke and Li Shuwan came to the living room and saw Li Jing with a dark face.
"I have met the King of Shu and the Princess of Shu!"
"King Shu and Princess Shu, it looks like they slept well!"
"I met my father (father-in-law)."
Then Li Shuwan blinked her eyes twice and whispered: "Dad, I have been too tired these past few days, so I got up a little late this morning. My daughter didn't know you would come. She originally planned to visit you and her mother today!"
"I ask the princess to move. I have important matters to discuss with the King of Shu."
Li Jing didn't give his daughter any face at all, so what if she was the Princess of Shu? She didn't dare to look down on the King of Shu, so why can't she give you some face?
"Father-in-law, don't be angry. My good son-in-law has apologized to you. This is all my fault. It is my fault."
Li Shuwan pursed her lips, bowed slightly and said, "Dad, you can discuss this with the prince, and your daughter will go get something to eat. The prince hasn't had breakfast yet!"
Li Jing: "..."
Look, look, we've only been married for three days!
"Your father and I haven't eaten either!"
Li Jing was really angry. The daughter he had raised for more than ten years might as well be married to someone else for three days to be affectionate.
"Wan'er, prepare one for your father-in-law."
Li Shuwan didn't agree, turned around and walked away.
Li Ke said quickly: "Father-in-law, this is definitely not what I mean."
Li Jing said: "Let's talk about important things!"
"Father-in-law, please speak."
Li Jing took three deep breaths and then said: "Your Majesty, today it's just us and you. Let me tell you that the military budget is not enough. Your Majesty wants me to come and beg you."
Li Ke looked puzzled and asked: "Father-in-law, the military funds are not enough. You should go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for it. If not, go to the father and ask for it. What war can we fight if we don't have money?"
"Your Majesty wants you to advance some military expenses first, and then pay you back after taking Tuyuhun."
"Father-in-law, to tell you the truth, I don't have any money either."
Li Jing said anxiously: "In heaven and on earth, money is rising every day. Besides, you have collected about a year's worth of taxes this time you get married!"
Li Ke lost his temper immediately, took Li Jing's hand, and said: "Father-in-law, my dear son-in-law is feeling miserable! I thought I would live a happy life after receiving some congratulatory gifts, but I didn't expect that when I found out , in order to buy my reputation, the princess will thank the guests for the gifts she received."
Li Jing didn't believe King Shu's nonsense at all, and started to deceive him again.
At this time, Li Shuwan walked in with a plate containing two bowls of noodles and some side dishes.
"If you don't believe it, ask Wan'er."
"Father, it's like this. The prince has a bad reputation in Chang'an City. The prince said to let his daughter make the decision, so the daughter made the decision and treated everything in the treasure house as a return gift to the guests."
"My daughter is also thinking about the Prince of Shu. The prince has a bad reputation. If he gives birth to children in the future, he cannot be looked down upon by others!"
Li Jing looked at his daughter's harmless appearance, then looked at Li Ke's expression, and sighed heavily.
"Father-in-law, military expenses can only be paid by the Li family in Longxi."
"You also know that I have a bad temper. If they pay for the military and cooperate obediently with the military operation to conquer Tuyuhun..."
"Then the Longxi Li family is still the Longxi Li family. After all, my father is also from the Longxi Li family. It is not a big deal to renovate the ancestral hall for our ancestors and improve the status of the Longxi Li family..."
"But it's up to my father-in-law to discuss this matter with them!"
