When the palace maid poured the teacup, Li Shimin picked up the teacup.

"Guanyin, what do you say this kid is up to?" Li Shimin took a sip and suddenly asked.

Empress Eldest Sun was puzzled, "What is Your Majesty asking?" ”

Li Shimin looked at the brown liquid in the teacup, and chuckled: "Man'er, this kid, said that he wanted to write an inscription, but he didn't sell this fat house happy water, what do you think he is thinking?" ”

"It's probably because scarcity is expensive." Empress Eldest Sun thought for a while and said with a smile: "At the beginning, the dream brewing was only sold for four tables, that is, after the reconstruction of the wine shop, it was sold more. ”

Li Shimin said: "But this kid really didn't sell a cup this time." ”

Empress Changsun was stunned, if it was sold in limited quantities, then why could it be said, but why was it that not a single cup was sold?

Li Shimin took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and said, "Shi'er is fighting with me." ”

"Vindictive?" Empress Eldest Sun was confused.

Immediately reacted.

Shi'er knows that the court is short of money, and His Majesty is short of money.

And the fat house happy water is what was said at the beginning, and there will be dividends.

She knows the taste of the fat house happy water, and if she is willing to sell it, she will definitely be snatched up.

Although it is far less than the income from taxes, it will certainly be a considerable income in the long run.

Thinking of recent days, Li Shimin ignored the rumors, and even asked the Criminal Department to investigate Qin Shou's affairs, Empress Changsun suddenly understood.

Shi'er is not short of money, and it can even be said that the current rumors are quite rich, and he has the fat house happy water in his hand, and he is not worried about not being able to sell it, and if it drags on for a long time, it may even sell better.

Now he doesn't sell a glass, obviously fighting with His Majesty, blaming His Majesty for ignoring him, so he doesn't want to give His Majesty dividends.

Shi'er is still a little childish.

Although she figured out the reason, Empress Eldest Sun still pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "What is Your Majesty talking about, the reason why this kid doesn't want to fight with Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun, sighed slowly, and said, "Guanyin, do you remember when you asked me, why didn't you care about the matter between Zhen'er and Qian'er?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun didn't answer, but her show fist was quietly clenched in her wide sleeves and pinched her sweat.

"I said that this is for the sake of the Li family, and it is a good time to find out who is involved in forming a faction in the imperial court."

"Actually, it's not really, I just want to tell them that if they continue to fight like this, they will only lose both."

Empress Eldest Sun lowered her head, picked up the wine jug, and poured the happy water for Li Shimin, "What does Your Majesty plan to do?" ”

Li Shimin clutched his wine glass and said softly: "Tomorrow morning, I will summon them, and each of them will play fifty boards." ”

It is said that each will play 50 boards, but in fact it is just a rhetoric of punishment.

For this point, Li Shimin has his own plans in mind.

Although the transcript presented by Li Jing was vague, Li Shimin was still keenly aware that the King of Han actually colluded with the East Palace.

If it was an ordinary official, Li Shimin didn't want to pursue it, after all, he was also a person who was followed by many courtiers back then.

But once it comes to the prince standing in line, this matter is not so simple.

And the reason why Qin Shou should be punished at the same time is to see how many people are on Li Anzhi's side and how many people are on Li Chengqian's side in this court.

How many people are really on his side Li Shimin.

By the time Qin Shou returned to Paiwang's Mansion, it was already late at night.

When Fang Xiaoshang saw the two of them returning home, he hurriedly stepped forward, his face a little ugly.

"What's wrong?" Qin Shou was slightly stunned, and wondered, "Is something wrong?" ”

Fang Xiaoshang looked at Fang Yaoyi and hesitated for a moment.

Fang Yaoyi was a smart person, and immediately understood, and said to Qin Shou: "Husband, I'll go and rest first." ”

Qin Shou nodded and didn't say anything.

After Fang Yaoyi left, Fang Xiaoshang sighed slowly and said, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty will summon you tomorrow." ”

"Any news?" Qin Shou wasn't too surprised by this, after all, this matter had dragged on for so long, there should always be a result.

There are too many things involved in the matter of seizing the heir.

Even if Li Jing has the evidence in his hand now, it is not good to make any moves.

If you act rashly, I am afraid that you will only set yourself on fire.

This matter was destined to be closed from the beginning, and Li Shimin obviously intended to do the same.

But the reason why he ignored it should be to find out which ministers are standing behind him and the prince.

Thinking about it, it should be clear by now, so it is necessary to stop this farce.

However, Qin Shou's goal has been achieved, as long as his father knows that Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, is standing next to the East Palace, this farce is the first to provoke the incident in the East Palace, and he is just passively fighting back.

In this way, Li Chengqian's image of his father will also be slightly affected.

"According to the eunuch's meaning, His Majesty seems to be not very satisfied with the behavior of the prince and the prince, and there is a meaning of playing fifty boards each."

Fang Xiaoshang hesitated for a moment, and finally said.

The eunuch who came to pass the word was Gonggong Chen, who had been courted by Qin Shou, so he was also happy to reveal some of his tone, which could be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to Qin Shou.

After Qin Shou heard this, he just nodded and stopped talking.

Do you play fifty boards each?

Qin Shou thought that the most he could do was to blame, but he didn't expect that he would actually reach this step where he needed to be punished.

Even if the father knew that the prince was provoking the matter, he would be punished like this.

It seems that this emperor's mind is really difficult to figure out.

Early the next morning, Qin Shou changed into formal clothes.

Fang Yaoyi vaguely guessed something, relaxed her beautiful eyes, and looked at Qin Shou without saying a word.

Qin Shou looked at his wife's sleepy and cute appearance, stretched out his hand and gently touched her cheek, and said, "Madame, rest a little longer, I won't be back soon." ”

With that, Qin Shou walked out of the door.

Fang Xiaoshang drove to the imperial city.

In the early dynasties, civil and military officials entered the court in turn.

Qin Shou and Li Chengqian were waiting respectfully outside the hall and did not enter the hall.

In today's court, it seems that all the civil and military officials expected something, and they all seemed to have colluded, and they never mentioned anything about Li Anzhi and Li Chengqian.

Until the pilgrimage meeting came to an end.

Li Shimin threw the notebook on the table and said softly, "Call them into the hall." ”

When the eunuch on the side heard this, he nodded in response, and then walked to the door of the palace in small steps, and said loudly: "Prince Xuan Li Chengqian, and King Qin Shou enter the palace." ”

"Son-in-law, see father!"

Qin Shou and Li Chengqian saluted together and bowed respectfully.

However, there was no response from Li Shimin for a long time.

After the voices of the two settled, the hall fell silent.

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yanjin and others glanced at Qin Shou with worried eyes, and hurriedly retracted their gaze.

And so did the princelings.

No one was clearly worried.

Little by little, time passed.

Qin Shou and the others didn't dare to slack off at all, and their bowed bodies never stood up straight for a long time.
