In the imperial study, Liu Yuan and Li Er sat opposite each other, and those eunuchs and maids were all waved back by Li Er.

"Liu Yuan, early in the morning, hungry, come, eat a piece of red bean cake, it's delicious." Li Er said with a smile.

"Emperor Xie, the minister is not hungry."

"Eat a glass of dry wine, this wine is mellow and luscious."

"Emperor Xie, the minister is not thirsty."

Liu Yuan is also a bachelor now, so much credit, in exchange for a small guerrilla general, others have land, land and titles, and they have not reaped much benefit, and their hearts are naturally not divided, now there are only two people, and Li Er lowered his figure, Liu Yuan naturally took the opportunity to send out his temper, let him know that he is also temperamental, not the dough in his hands, and he can pinch it as he wants.

Seeing Liu Yuan's temper, Li Erle was happy, hehe smiled, ate a piece of red bean cake, and drank another glass of wine, then smiled and said, "Well, the temper is not small." ”

Liu Yuan pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Okay, there are only two of us here, if you are not satisfied, let's say it directly." Li Er said lightly.

"Your Majesty, civil officials have seniority and political achievements, and military generals can only rely on military merits, and there have always been detailed regulations on the criteria for promotion in the army, no matter how it is calculated, Weichen's military merits will not only be promoted to one rank, right?"

Li Er smiled and said quibly: "Didn't you say that you are still young and inexperienced in the army?" Aren't I afraid you'll be overstressed? By the way, I know that you like gold, and I specially rewarded you with 10,000 catties of gold. ”

"Weichen is not short of silver now, but he is only one official rank and background." Liu Yuan said depressedly.

"I know that you are not short of silver, and there are still mountains of gold and silver at home." Li Er's face that was originally smiling Mimi suddenly became serious, and between the words, the tone suddenly became a little cold.

Liu Yuanleng for a moment, this Li Er's face belongs to a dog. How do you say that change will change, just now, I was fine, please eat and drink by myself, in a blink of an eye, it became difficult to get close, sure enough, it is a companion like a tiger, a careless, let him eat it is not necessarily, and this Li Er seems to have something to say.

"That, Your Majesty. To tell you the truth, you also know that I was an apprentice, and later did a little business, in Yangzhou and Chang'an. It's also a bit of a property, right. The property in Chang'an is still given by the emperor. Weichen does business and abides by the law, Tong Su is not bullied, the business is still wrong, and the family can be regarded as having a little savings, but compared with the large number of land shops in the hands of others, it can only be inferior. Liu Yuan said cautiously.

With Li Er's ability. It's easy to know anything, and it is estimated that if you want to find out how many bubbles of urine Liu Yuan pulled a day when he was a child, he can also find out, in the eyes of a smart person like him. It's best not to be cautious and scheming, it's better to be honest, although the status of the businessman is very low, after all, he is not a traitor, and there is no need to be afraid.

"Yes, how did I hear that General Liu is very good at business?"

"Average, average, just mix food and clothing."

Li Er said meaningfully: "Really? How did I hear that General Liu made a net profit of more than one million taels of silver in just over three months, which is a good deal. ”

Liu Yuan's forehead was sweating, speaking so thoroughly, where did he not understand, what Li Er said must be that he ransacked the big Zhenba Temple, and took the treasures of Subi, and did not hand over fifty percent as said beforehand, but symbolically paid more than 30,000 taels, and the rest was divided among the brothers of the Zhenfan army.

The entire Zhenfan army did this, and this matter was also cooperated by Hou Junji, and he also received a lot of benefits, the soldiers fell so many benefits, it will definitely not burst out, could it be that those guys have silver in their waists, and then squandered it in Chang'an, which attracted Li Er's attention, and then investigated it? Or is it that Li Er has been planting eyeliner in the Zhenfan Army, and no matter what happens, it can't escape his eyes?

This time he was in trouble, he swallowed more than a million taels at once, and the crime can be big or small, what Liu Yuan is thinking about now is that he was pushed out, if he let himself know the truth, he would have to cut him into eighteen pieces.

"Why, didn't you have a lot of grievances just now? Didn't you have a big temper just now? Li Er suddenly teased.

Liu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, one person does things and one person does things, it's a big deal, I'll return the silver." ”

"Ridiculous!" Li Er suddenly scolded: "It's only hundreds of thousands of taels, do I care?" That's not what hurts my heart. ”

"Then the emperor is," Liu Yuan asked in a low voice.

Li Er snapped, threw a letter on the desk, and scolded Liu Yuan: "Look at what good things you have done? ”

Liu Yuan picked up the letter a little apprehensively, took out the letter paper, looked at it carefully, it was okay not to look at it, and he was so angry that he almost jumped up, this letter was written by the Tubo princess Zanmeng Saimaga to Li Er, mainly two things, the first is that after Liu Yuan caught her, he repeatedly raped her, and the second is that Liu Yuan ransacked the thousand-year-old temple and robbed the silver treasures worth more than one million taels, not only that, but also blasphemed the gods and spirits, and pried away the gold wrapped in the outer layer. Return the treasure or something.

Speechless, it was really a knife on the head of the color word, a few copies of the depravity will be a little broken, the hard work, the credit earned by birth and death is folded in her hands, this chick, in order to take revenge on herself, not only does she not even want a name, but also reports Liu Yuan in disguise, she is really hateful, she herself is not happy, and she does not let Liu Yuan feel better.

Liu Yuan was a little unconvinced and said: "Your Majesty, when I caught her, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was still hostile, and the Tubo violated the border many times, I don't know how many strong men were robbed as slaves, and I don't know how many women from the Tang Dynasty were abducted to humiliate, they can bully my people of the Tang Dynasty, we can't take advantage of them?" ”

"If we don't let them see how good we are, others will think we're afraid of it."

Li Er nodded and said, "Afraid? What is there to be afraid of, if I am afraid, I will not give you a promotion and give you a big reward, but now that the chaos in Tibet has risen, I don't want to have any variables, and secondly, Tubo is to cede land and pay compensation, and to claim to be a courtier, this thin face is always to be given, now you let that Zanmeng Saima Karma target, in this joint head, you can only temporarily wronged Liu Aiqing, you can rest assured, your merits will be recorded, and when you make the clairvoyant eyes out, then the two merits will be rewarded. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen knows what he said." Liu Yuan also knew that between the country and individuals, he had to sacrifice himself.

I thought that Li Er slammed the door, but now it seems that he really can't blame him, at least, he doesn't pursue the matter of the money, and he really explains it to himself, if he is entangled again, it will be too bad to get on the road, and if he can't get it right, and then make Li Er angry, it will be worth the loss.

Damn Zanmeng Saima Ga, Liu Yuan scolded in his heart: If there is a chance to catch you again, I will definitely let you go easily, and directly arrest Datang as a slave and a maid, and torture her more to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Let the tiger return to the mountain, and the future will be endless.

Fortunately, with Li Er's guarantee, he was promoted to a higher rank and received a million reward, which is not a very loss, by the way, one million silver, I have to take this opportunity to ask for it, otherwise, with Li Er's nature of picking and picking, I don't know when I will cash it out.

"That, Your Majesty" Liu Yuan rubbed his hands and said, "What is the bounty sent to the house, or will I go to the household department to extract it?" ”

"Hmm" Li Er's gaze suddenly became sharp, staring at Liu Yuan, that gaze seemed to have a strong lethality, just let him take a look, Liu Yuan felt that his cold sweat came out, this Li Er's aura is too big, coupled with the southern and northern wars, countless killings, he has developed a suffocating killing aura, that feeling, as if his shortcomings are constantly magnifying, and the secrets he hides in his heart will also be exposed in his gaze.

"No, no, I've already taken the bounty." Liu Yuan said helplessly.

Li Er can make a fuss about the matter of stealing the secret treasure by himself, and then he can use it to make a fuss at any time, these things can be big or small, and one is not good, that is, the crime of bullying the king, and he also made hundreds of thousands of taels of benefits from it, and Li Er promised that those military exploits would not be erased, and the big stone stoned the crab to death, Liu Yuan simply went along with his wishes, and didn't want it.

Li Er shook his head and said, "This is not good, I am rewarding you in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, how can you not believe in your words?" Didn't it make the ministers laugh? Although it costs a lot of money to build the Daming Palace, give preferential treatment to the soldiers, and dredge the Yellow River, no matter how hard it is, it can't be hard work. ”

Liu Yuan then understood, it turned out that an emperor can also be so shameless, a typical bitch and want to set up a chastity workshop, sure enough, he doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, Li is still the king of Qin, he is still very generous, and later after killing his brother and killing his brother, in order to save his image, he began to aspire to be a generation of virtuous monarchs, work hard, and be strict and economical, first of all, start from himself, and greatly reduce palace expenses, not only that, but also let Wei Zheng supervise himself at all times.

"Your Majesty, now that everything is in ruins, the imperial court is using silver, Liu Yuan voluntarily donated 10,000 catties of gold to fill the treasury." Liu Yuan said with a "righteous face".

"10,000 catties of gold, are you really willing to give it up?"

"Reluctant."

Who called himself a handle to fall into Li Second-hand, Liu Yuanyou wanted to cry without tears, all of this was given by Zanmeng Saimaga, didn't he just go to her more than ten times? But the price I paid is also big, the official rank, the silver, the field, the title, my God, count it, these things, even if you pack the reddest Qinglou head card every day, it won't cost so much.

It can be regarded as the most expensive prostitution in history.

Li Er looked at Liu Yuan's painful face, and he also felt a little unbearable, feeling that he was too ruthless to the meritorious person, thought about it, and said to Liu Yuan: "Okay, don't cry and mourn your face, take advantage of my good mood now, and allow you to make an overly demanding request."
