Chapter 200: Trouble Comes to the Door (I)
In the Lizheng Hall of the Imperial City of Chang'an, the angry Li Er roared: "Rebel, this rebel, when he comes back, I have to discount his legs." ”
"Your Majesty, what happened? Gao Ming is causing trouble again? "Empress Eldest Sun was alarmed by Lao Li's voice and left the residence to come to Lao Li's 'office'.
"Look at what your good son has done in Shandong." A briefing was slapped on the table by Li Er, and he didn't look at Empress Eldest Sun angrily.
Puzzled, the eldest grandson picked up the briefing and read it seriously: "'The life and death of the country is profitable, how can it be avoided because of misfortune', second brother, Gao Ming's words are very good." ”
After taking a few looks, Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Er, with a hint of incomprehension in her eyes, and she didn't understand why the old man was so angry.
"Look back, you look back." Lao Li pointed to the briefing in the hand of the eldest grandson and said angrily.
Looking back? The eldest grandson once again focused his attention on the briefing in his hand, and then his voice suddenly rose, looking at Lao Li and saying in disbelief: "Gao Ming actually rolled up 78,000 bills in one day in Qingzhou? This, this ......".
"It's all your good son, you still spoil him every day, look at what you've spoiled you are. Seventy-eight thousand, that's seventy-eight thousand. The more Lao Li spoke, the more angry he became, and he kept going around the room.
Li Er couldn't figure out why the prince, who had always behaved well in Chang'an, was so inappropriate when he arrived in Shandong.
It is true that there will be some people who give gifts in the places where the prince passes, but what is the point of selling these gifts back and letting the giver buy them back with money?
And a string of pearl necklaces was sold for 700 yuan, what is this for? Scraping the floor?
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is another reason for this matter, or should I investigate it carefully, what do you think?" Empress Changsun slowly stepped forward, grabbed Li Er in a rage, and pressed him to sit on the chair.
"What else is there to investigate, can he still be fake if he rolls up to 78,000 times? Tell me when I was short of his money, you can tell me. Lao Li was about to be confused, and he spoke incoherently.
Originally, if this matter was put on other princes, Li Er would not be so angry, the left and right were just a little money, and it was not worth being angry, at most he would send a verbal reprimand.
But this happened to Li Chengqian, his identity is the crown prince, and he will inherit the throne in the future, if he is so greedy and excessive, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Tang Dynasty repeats the scene of the struggle for hegemony at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the concubine believes that there must be a reason for it, Gao Ming is by no means a child who does not know the importance of the matter, you say that he is lazy and playful, and the concubines believe it, but you want to say that Gao Ming is corrupt and excessive, and the ransom of the concubines is unacceptable." Whose son is distressed, Lao Li is a rebel on the left and a rebel on the right, and the eldest grandson naturally doesn't like it when she hears it.
"Okay, in that case, I'll let Xiao Gong personally go to Qingzhou Mansion to see what that little bastard is up to." Li Er was stunned by the eldest grandson's slightly disgusted tone, and after thinking for a while, he began to feel that something was wrong, and his tone eased slightly.
"The King of the River?" The eldest grandson's tone froze.
Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, is in charge of Zongzheng Temple, the first black face in the clan, although he is usually a little wild and uninhibited (Li Chengqian thinks he is an unscrupulous old man), but if the children of the royal family really commit it in his hands, it will definitely not be good.
"Don't persuade him again, with his filial piety, if Cheng Qian's actions in Qingzhou really have hidden feelings, he will definitely not embarrass him. Similarly, if the rebel is really doing mischief in Qingzhou, I am afraid that this board will never escape. Lao Li saw that the eldest grandson was going to say something more, so he simply began to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
Don't you know what the eldest grandson is thinking in his heart: Li Xiaogong still owes Li Chengqian a favor, and he is afraid that he will not be able to investigate this matter.
Five days later, in a manor outside Qingzhou City, Li Xiaogong and his party of more than ten people stood in front of the gate.
"Uncle Hejian? How did you have time to get to my nephew? Did you miss me? Li Chengqian dragged Xiao Wumei out of it and said with a smile.
"Little doll, you are Xinyang, right?" The unscrupulous old man glanced at Li Chengqian with a smile, bent down to tease Wu Mei, and threw Li Chengqian aside in embarrassment.
"Xinyang greets Uncle Hejian Wang." Wu Mei, who was dressed in a Western-style princess dress, gave Li Xiaogong a big smile.
"That's good." Li Xiaogong gently patted Wu Mei's head and patted her body for a long time, and finally found that there seemed to be nothing but the jade pendant she was carrying.
Then the old man suddenly stretched out his hand and ripped off the gloating Li Chengqian's jade pendant: "Come, girl, this is given to you by Uncle Wang, keep it well, don't be robbed by the bad guys." ”
Yan also glanced at Li Chengqian, as if telling Wu Mei who the bad guy was.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." After taking the jade pendant and looking at it a few times, Xiao Lori put it away unexpectedly than Li Chengqian expected.
"What's the matter, a piece of jade is in pain?" The unscrupulous old man straightened his waist and said to Li Chengqian with a black face.
"What Uncle Wang said, Cheng Qian is not so stingy." Li Chengqian replied stubbornly, but his heart was bleeding.
All the belongings of Ya are only the six jade pendants that Lao Li rewarded, and the one that Cheng Xiaosi took has not been taken back, and now there is one less, I am afraid that I will not be able to live this day in the future.
"Look at your stinginess, a piece of jade is far worse than the 78,000 guan you swept away in Qingzhou." Li Xiaogong walked into the courtyard and said sarcastically.
"Seventy-eight thousand!" Li Chengqian muttered in confusion.
The number of 78,000 guan is correct, and the auction in the Huichun Building that day did collect 78,000 guan, but how did Li Xiaogong know about this? It's not been ten days, has it?
"What's the matter, do you want to admit it? Lao Tzu can tell you that now Chang'an City has spread the deeds of your kid who rolled 78,000 volumes in one day. In the living room of the manor, Li Xiaogong sat on the main seat and said.
Li Chengqian was ridiculed endlessly by Li Xiaogong's left sentence after sentence, and the temper of the second pole came up, and he sneered and said: "Uncle Hejian means that Chengqian will fill his private pocket with 78,000 habitually? ”
"It's not what this king means, it's what His Majesty means, otherwise you can't fill your pockets and have something to do with a fart, it's worth Lao Tzu to rush from Chang'an to Qingzhou in five days?" Li Xiaogong looked at Li Chengqian without giving an inch and said.
"The money is not here, Uncle Wang can go back to his life." Li Chengqian was so tired of these old people who turned their faces faster than they turned books, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have helped this old man 'drum' a poem in the first place.
