East Palace.

Li Shimin looked at the folds on the case, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled: "Although the world is peaceful now, the lives of the people are still very poor, and they must recuperate." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu said: "Recuperation and recuperation cannot be completed overnight, we must work together and persevere to achieve the desired results."

"Yesterday, Li Shiyun also played Your Majesty, Jieli Khan heard that I had changed the prince of the court, and wanted to take the opportunity to go south, thanks to the guards on the border, he stopped the Turkic iron cavalry.

"His Majesty originally wanted to summon Li Shiyun back to the court, but after receiving this report, he dispelled his thoughts and ordered Li Shiyun to continue to guard and annex the state.

"The Turks are still eyeing us, so there must be no shortage of military supplies.

"Military spending cannot be cut, and the treasury is not full, so it is really difficult to make a good life for the people."

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, I will come up with appropriate countermeasures and present them to Your Majesty at that time." ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's heart moved and asked, "Who is the richest person in this Chang'an City?" ”

"Your Majesty." Xiao Yu was very confused, why did His Highness ask such a stupid question?

"......" Li Shimin was a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it, and said calmly: "I mean, apart from the people of the royal family, who is the richest in Chang'an City?" ”

Xiao Yu thought for a while and replied: "There is a merchant in Chang'an City, surnamed Sun, who is said to be the richest person in Chang'an City. ”

"He's not." Du Ruhui retorted.

Li Shimin looked over and asked with interest: "Who is that?" ”

"When the left servant of Chao Shangshu shoots - Pei Lian."

Hearing this name, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xiao Yu didn't believe it: "Although Pei Fushu has the title of Duke of Wei, and His Majesty often rewards him, it is impossible for him to be the richest person in Chang'an City." ”

Du Ruhui explained: "I have seen the people of the Wei State Mansion make generous moves, and even the most inferior servants can go in and out of Pingkangfang every day, and they are accompanied by sought-after courtesans.

"If you don't have some money, how can you squander it like this?"

Xiao Yu was silent.

Li Shimin ordered: "Xiao Shangshu, you are the head of the household, you go and check whether Pei Fushu has privately minted coins." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Xiao Yu reluctantly took over the task.

At this time, someone outside the door said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Princess Jinyang asks to see you." ”

"Let her in."

Xiao Yu immediately said: "Your Highness, the minister retires." ”

Du Ruhui and others also retired.

When they walked to the door, they ran into Wang Yu and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Princess Jinyang." ”

Wang Yu nodded at them, and then walked in.

"Second brother."

"Sit down."

The two sat down facing each other and talked over tea.

"Is it okay to be on an errand in the household department?" Li Shimin looked at her with a smile.

Wang Yu smiled: "How can it not go well when you are on an errand under your uncle?" ”

"That's good." Li Shimin took a sip of the teacup, thinking that his father must have made Wang Yu a household servant because the household department was Xiao Yu.

After all, Xiao Yu has always been very kind to Wang Yu.

"By the way, second brother, after Wei Zheng, Xu Shimo, and Wang Qi were removed from their official positions, didn't you think about recruiting them into the East Palace again?" Wang Yu asked suddenly.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment: "There are many talents around me, and there is no shortage of officials in the East Palace, why should I recruit them?" ”

"They are talents, is the second brother willing to bury talents?"

"But they just participated in the rebellion, and it's not appropriate for me to recruit them into the East Palace at this time, right?"

Wang Yu paused: "Then the second brother will arrange an official position for them." ”

Li Shimin frowned slightly: "Although they are talented, they have persuaded the crown prince to kill me and leave them in the imperial court, I don't think it's appropriate." ”

"The waste prince is dead, what are you afraid of? Besides, second brother, you are wise and martial, both civil and military, are you still afraid of three literati? Wang Yu said angrily.

Li Shimin was choked for a moment, and then he fought back: "Although Wei Zheng once taught you knowledge, and you called him 'teacher', but you blatantly let me show favoritism like this, my father will definitely punish you if he knows about it." ”

Wang Yu was stunned.

She used her credit to save the lives of Wei Zheng and the others, and Li Yuan had a lot of complaints about her, and if she let him know that she came to Li Shimin to go through the back door, she would definitely be very angry.

However, Wei Zheng must stay by Li Shimin's side, so that Li Shimin will make fewer mistakes.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu had no choice but to come up with a trick.

"Alas, second brother, I'll be honest with you. I made a hexagram for you yesterday, and the hexagram said that you would become a famous monarch in history......"

Hearing this, Li Shimin involuntarily raised the corners of his mouth.

"But......" Wang Yu changed his words: "You must have a virtuous minister by your side to assist you in order to become the first emperor of the ages."

"I did the math, this person's eight characters happen to be Wei Zheng."

Li Shimin's smile froze: "You mean that without Wei Zheng, I can't become a Ming Jun?" ”

Wang Yu replied calmly: "That's not it, the second brother will definitely become a Ming Jun, but without Wei Zheng's assistance, you are just a Ming Jun, not an ancient emperor who has never been before or since." ”

“......”

Li Shimin was silent, and suddenly stared at Wang Yu with dead eyes: "What you just said wasn't made up to make Wei Zheng an official, right?" ”

Wang Yu immediately put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "This is shown on the hexagram, not made up by me."

"If the second brother doesn't believe it, I can swear that if I have half a lie, I am willing to suffer the curse of heaven and not ......"

Li Shimin hurriedly interrupted her: "Don't say it, I believe you." ”

Wang Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and told him another thing: "In the past few days, I have checked the account books of the household department......"

-------

The next day.

Xiao Yu called Wang Yu aside and said to her: "Your Highness ordered me to investigate whether Pei Fushu had minted coins privately, and you should go to Shangshu Province now and bring the account books of the coinage." ”

Wang Yu hesitated and said: "Such an important account book, I have a small waiter to get it, they shouldn't give it, right?"

"Why don't you get tired?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's face turned cold: "What? My little Shangshu still can't move you? Princess Jinyang. ”

Hearing the last four words, Wang Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

"Wait."

Wang Yu stopped, turned around, and asked with a smile: "What else does Shangshu command?" ”

Xiao Yu advised: "After you go to Shangshu Province, tell them to routinely check the account books, and don't let Pei Servant see the suspicions." Also, take a closer look and see what's out of the ordinary. ”

"Yes."

Wang Yu turned around, and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared instantly.

Hum!

This old fox just wants to take advantage of her identity.

After walking angrily for a while, Wang Yu was suddenly relieved.

Forget it, for Li Shimin's sake, she will help Xiao Yu, anyway, her identity is not in vain.

Unknowingly, when he came to Shangshu Province, Wang Yu walked straight in.

Seeing that it was her, the officials of Shangshu Province immediately greeted her: "I have seen Princess Jinyang, dare to ask Princess Jinyang, why are you here?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a routine inspection by the household department, you can bring me the account books of this year's coinage."

After a pause, Wang Yu said again: "By the way, by the way, bring me the account books of the year before and last year, and my father said to let me study hard." ”

Hearing this, the officials looked at each other, and then said, "Then Princess Jinyang, please sit down for a while, I'll go and get it later." ”

Wang Yu waved his hand: "Don't worry, you sort it out slowly, and send it to me when it's done." ”

Then, she found a random chair and sat down, and ordered, "Go and pour a pot of hot tea, I'll wait for you here......"
