Having said everything, can you not take it to heart?

Li Shimin's expression was solemn: "Leave it alone...... Whether you have been provoked or not, your words alone are not unreasonable. I'll think about it carefully, you go back first! ”

"Father......."

"You go back first!"

"Yes!"

Li Zhi was inexplicably kicked out of the imperial study.

He was not discouraged.

Judging from Li Shimin's expression, he should be tempted.

I will definitely consult with the ministers afterwards.

Success or failure.

Wait until they have finished deliberating.

"Your Highness, please!" The old eunuch stared at Li Zhi with a smile.

"Go back, go back!"

"Humph!"

Li Zhi glanced at the old eunuch with an arrogant face.

Return to the main hall of Reijo.

Li Lizhen and Li Tai sat together, as if they were talking about something.

Next to her sat the eldest grandson queen.

Holding a book in his hand.

"Brother Zhi is back...... Brother Zhi, I have something to tell you! Li Lizhen ran over.

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know who attacked us last night?"

Li Lizhi spoke.

Li Tai is not calm.

He also hurried over and said, "Brother Zhi, my father asked you to punish those who violated the curfew, how did you punish them?" Why didn't you listen to you? ”

"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"I'll just ask!"

Li Zhi said solemnly: "Don't divert the topic!" Sister Lizhen, you continued what you just said, do you know who attacked us last night? ”

"Yes!"

"Who?"

"That's him!" Li Lizhi shook his hand at Li Tai: "Don't think I don't know!" I just deliberately told you that the people who attacked us were all armed with assassin swords, and you were obviously surprised! He also asked me if I was hurting anyone...... I said I didn't hurt anyone, but you breathed a sigh of relief and said it's okay, it's okay....... ”

"What's wrong with that?" Li Tai's face was innocent.

"I'm worried about you!"

"Humph! The devil believes in you! Li Li asked: "I still know about you." When have you ever worried about me? Last time I fell, my knees were bleeding, and you didn't care about me! ”

"Will it be so kind this time?"

"I ......." Li Tai couldn't say that Li Lizhi was coquettish, so he hurriedly found the eldest grandson queen to be coquettish: "Queen Mother, look at Lizhen's sister, he slandered me as an assassin!" ”

"Changle! Don't talk nonsense, how can my brother be an assassin! Empress Eldest Sun reprimanded.

"Humph!"

Li Li sat aside angrily.

Li Zhi patted her on the shoulder: "Sister is too worried, how can Brother Tai harm us?" He had never been out of the palace, so where did he find those assassins? You must have thought too much! ”

"You don't believe it!"

Li Lizhen was very angry.

Intuition told her that Li Tai was the murderer behind it!

How could Li Zhi not believe it?

Just now, he had already identified Li Tai as the murderer! As Li Liqing's analysis, there are two possibilities for his conversation with Li Tai and Li Tai's reaction. One is that Li Tai really cares about him and Li Liqing. This is very unlikely. The second is that Li Tai is worried that things will be big and bad for him, so he is very concerned about what happened last night.

Obviously, he belongs to the latter!

"It's a wolf that always bares its teeth, and a horse that shows its feet...... If a person does something bad, he will try to make up for the loophole, and then he will be able to catch it? Why are you in a hurry? Li Zhi whispered.

"Uh-huh!"

Li Lizhen was a little more wary of Li Tai.

Night.

The ministers of the three provinces and six ministries were all summoned to the palace to face the saints.

The not too spacious imperial study was full of ministers.

Li Shimin said: "I want to discuss two words with you when I invite you Aiqing to come so late - businessman, how do you say the word businessman?" ”

"Businessmen seek profit, don't make deep friends!" Fang Xuanling said.

"In the eyes of businessmen, only money is the dearest! In order to achieve a certain goal, they do not hesitate to break the law and discipline, and even deny their relatives, what is the difference between this and animals? ”

"They are the ugliest side of human nature!"

……

Speaking of businessmen, there was not a good word present.

Li Shimin smiled: "Before that, like you, I hated the meanness and shamelessness of the merchants, and I wanted to click them all. But...... Merchants have the role of merchants, they promote the economic cycle of the country, so that when people have no money, they can take things to the market to sell, and when they need something, they can also get it from the market. In this way, the prosperity of the country has been achieved! ”

"Almost half of the annual tax comes from merchants......

"How would the country function without them?" 、

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, haven't you always hated businessmen, why did you speak for them?" ”

The word businessman was bitten very hard by Wei Zheng!

Seems to be pointed!

Everyone understands that the most powerful businessmen in the world are those big families!

Taiyuan Wang's, Qinghe Cui's, Fanyang Lu's, Xingyang's Zheng's......

These families, behind their backs, call the royal family camel plums, which is a very insulting word!

Among them, Qinghe Cui's is the most prominent, and he also looks down on Li Shimin the most!

In the early years of Zhenguan, in order to win over these big families, Li Shimin was ready to marry his daughter to the Qinghe Cui family, but he didn't expect to be rejected! The rest of the families also looked down on Li Shimin, thinking that the surname Li was not among the seven sects and five surnames, and the Li family even won the world by force and was not recognized by them!

After Li Shimin was insulted, he also thought about weakening the family, but he was afraid that they had a solid foundation and controlled half of the money in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin has always hated the family. But today, he is saying good things for those families! What's going on? Is the sun coming out of the west?

"Your Majesty ......."

Seeing Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chair in a daze, Wei Zheng said loudly: "The minister thinks that businessmen should not be encouraged!" Otherwise, they will become more and more rampant! ”

"Think about those big families, they are much more honest than before, if you hear the emperor's words, I'm afraid they will come out and make waves again!"

"Yes, yes, yes......." The ministers nodded their heads.

"Your Highness, Your Highness...... The emperor is discussing with the ministers, you can't break in! At this moment, the voice of the old eunuch came. It attracted the attention of the ministers.

I saw Li Zhi running into the imperial study in a hurry.

"Lord Wei Zheng's words are wrong!" Li Zhi shouted.

"Zhi'er, it's so late, don't you go to bed yet? The father and the ministers are dealing with government affairs, you go out and wait first! Li Shimin said.

"Back to my father, my son has something to say!" Li Zhi took a lot of effort, evaded all the Royal Forest Army, and came to the imperial study, just to help Li Shimin.

"Father, please give your sons a chance to refute Lord Wei Zheng!"

Refutation?

Is it to make Wei Zheng ugly?

This is one of Li Shimin's favorite things to do!

"Good!"

He immediately changed his words and said, "Since you are here, then stay!" ”

"Thank you, Father!" Li Zhi walked in front of Wei Zheng and looked up at him: "I have a few questions, I want to ask the adults!" If you feel embarrassed, don't answer! ”

"Your Highness, please speak!"

Wei Zheng beat the drum in his heart.

He had already heard Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda say that Li Zhi was a difficult master and extremely difficult to deal with. Both of them have suffered losses at his hands, and they are very faceless.
