On the palace banquet, the ministers arrived early, and when Zuo Xiangling and his party entered, Li Shaowu took Gu Wanning and the Queen Mother to the scene.

From a slightly distant distance, Adil took Adamuji to salute Li Shaowu, and Li Shaowu also smiled and invited them to take a seat.

When everything is ready, the palace feast should almost begin.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Zuo Xiangling picked up the chopsticks and tasted them one by one, making sure that none of them had anything wrong, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The voice of Sizhu was heard, and the dancing dancing girl also left the stage in an orderly manner, and it was time to talk about business.

"The second prince, King Zuoxian, the two of you have come thousands of miles away to work hard."

Li Shaowu raised his wine glass and toasted in the direction of the two, both of them raised their wine glasses, and then as Li Shaowu drank, they also drank it all, and the people present followed suit.

"Compared with the march and fighting, this is not a hard work, but we are deeply impressed by the customs along the way, and it seems that the truce between the two countries is indeed a blessing.

Now the two countries are in the time of cultivation, the Chu country has rice, grain and salt, and our Xiongnu have high-quality horses and animal skins, so it is better for the two countries to open border checkpoints and trade with each other.

This is a blessing for both countries, this time I went to Chu to help our king convey to you the will of trade, I don't know what the emperor of Chu wants? ”

Adamuji looked at Li Shaowu in the seat, and smiled openly, this is actually an inevitable trend, it's just a matter of seeing who brings it up first, since there has been a truce, what's the point if they open this mouth first.

"Hahaha, since it is a major event that is beneficial to the two countries, how can I not agree, it's just that this is in accordance with the law of my Great Chu, the trade between the two countries needs to pay tariffs, and originally the Great Chu and other countries have a tariff of 30%.

However, since you put it forward first, and you also expressed your sincerity with Da Chu, then, I will charge you 20% of the tariff. ”

Li Shaowu said this magnificently, as if he had promised the Xiongnu a lot of benefits, but in fact, there are not a few countries that only charge 20% tariffs, and this is just for the sake of superficiality.

In this regard, how could Adamuji not know, he has been fighting against the Chu State for many years, how could he not even know this trivial matter, the amount of a country's tax rate is related to the current situation of the country.

If the tax rate is small, that is stable and rich, if the tax is high, it is not peaceful, it is a good time to attack, after all, at this time the emperor is the most unpopular, and the soldiers are more or less slack in fighting.

Twenty percent is not much for them, but he won't go back with such a high tax when he comes.

"This twenty percent is good, but people always want to be able to earn more, so it's better to come to the competition, if we win, the tariff will be changed to one, if you win, then it is still two percent, how? Does Emperor Chu dare to make this bet with me? ”

A dare word, so that Li Shaowu has no chance to refuse, if he refuses, it is to admit that Chu is not as good as the Xiongnu, as an emperor, how can he lose the national style.

"King Zuo Xian saw that the banquet was deserted, and he wanted to make the scene lively, since this is the case, how can I refuse, I don't know, how can I compare the law?"

Li Shaowu's eyes were dark, how could he not know what Adam Ji's calculations were, and he wanted to reduce one percent of the tax in one sentence, there was no such good thing.

"Well, we proposed the competition, and the content should be decided by you."

No matter what he tries, he won't be afraid, anyway, he is determined to get this tax cut.

"Father, my sons heard that the Xiongnu soldiers are good at martial arts, so it is better to compete in martial arts, and let them see the martial arts attainments of our Chu State.

Erchen invited himself to compete with King Zuoxian. ”

The eldest prince in front of the case couldn't sit still, he thought that his martial arts were good, and even Li Shaowu praised him many times, if he could win Adamuji on this occasion, then he would not be able to capture him in the next battle for the crown prince.

Earlier, when Shangguan Feibai returned from discussing and returning, Li Shaowu had summoned his important ministers into the palace, and the matter was done extremely hidden, and he discussed it in the upper study for a day, and it was not until the evening that these people left one after another.

If it weren't for the discussion of the crown prince's position, how could he hide it from everyone and secretly summon important ministers into the palace.

There are always traces of things that have been done, not to mention that he also bought off Li Shaowu's cronies, and he can still get this news, in order to prepare early.

He was born to a concubine, and his biological mother was just a maid, just because he was favored by Li Shaowu overnight, he became a concubine, and later Li Shaowu became the emperor, and his mother was included in the harem.

Until his mother Yun Concubine died, he was born to just a concubine, which was probably a stain on his body.

Fortunately, when his mother died at that time, he was still young, so he was succeeded by Li Shaowu to Concubine De and became Concubine De's son, which made the surface a little brighter.

But this Concubine De already has a son, although she is supporting him on the surface, but behind her back, she must hope that her son Li Bohao will become the emperor, and he is just a chess piece in his hand.

In order to get rid of his humble background, he secretly vowed to become the supreme in the world since he was a child, and posthumously named his mother the queen mother.

Because he is Li Shaowu's eldest son, he still has a certain advantage in the competition for the position of the crown prince, which is why Concubine De adopted him.

"Since Chen'er has this will, I will allow it, but this is not an ordinary fight, Chen'er should still be cautious. Don't deliberately release water just because you appreciate King Zuoxian's talents. ”

Li Hongchen got up to bow and thank him, and made a gesture of invitation to Adamuji, and when Adamugi got up, he was already standing in the field.

Adamuji sneered and looked at Li Hongchen in the field, his expression was full of disdain, and he didn't take Li Hongchen seriously at all.

A sword and a sword, shuttling in everyone's eyes, every move and style are sharp and fast, seemingly inadvertent, but in fact they kill step by step.

Finally couldn't help it, Adamuji didn't want to waste time, and said to Li Hongchen in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"Compared with King Jing over there, you are not only a little worse than a star, but you should stop it earlier, don't make a bigger ugly scene."

Looking at Adamuji's flamboyant appearance, Li Hongchen had other thoughts, and as soon as these words came out, Li Hongchen suddenly became murderous.

What he hates the most is Shangguan Feibai, not only because Shangguan Feibai is an obstacle on his way to becoming an emperor.

Or is it because it is clear that Shangguan Feibai's mother is just a daughter of the market, and she can be the queen of a country, and Shangguan Feibai was born with the brilliance of a son-in-law, he suddenly dimmed, if he hadn't been working hard to show himself, Li Shaowu would definitely not remember that he had a son.
