Chapter 759: What gift is so precious?
Lupingzhou, Wang Tan and others also wanted to propose to Li Shimin as soon as possible to return the mine, so that they would not care how much Cui Yansong would pay Li Chengfeng.
No matter how you say it, it was his son Cui Kai who did something wrong.
It is reasonable to lose money.
Cui Yansong continued: "Eighth Prince, wait a moment, I will send someone to withdraw 10,000 gold and give it to your mansion. Do you want ready-made gold or as a check for lay-out?
”
"Of course I have to make it ready, so I'll make it. I'll pay me 10,000 yuan in money. I'll just let it go. Otherwise, if I get seriously ill in the future, your son Cui Kai will be the culprit!"
"This, I, my father, I..." Cui Kai stammered.
"Bang..."
"Shut up!"
Cui Yansong slapped Cui Kai hard again.
He really felt a little disappointed.
This prodigal son lost his 22,000 gold yuan as soon as he came to Chang'an City?
Even though he was the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, Cui Yansong still felt heartbroken.
Asking him to buy some gifts for the emperor, it would be enough for about a thousand gold.
This guy was so good that he bought something worth 12,000 yuan. He said he was a good product among good goods, and the emperor absolutely liked it.
If Cui Honghu hadn't been the testimony of Cui Kai, then the money was really taken to buy gifts and sent to the emperor. Cui Yansong would have thought that all the money had been embezzled by Cui Kai.
Now? I cheated myself into another 10,000 yuan? I paid the Eighth Prince?
You said, why are I, Cui Yansong, so unlucky when I was so prodigal?
"Okay, okay, Your Highness, Eighth Prince, I will ask someone to send 10,000 gold to your house. What do you think?"
"Yeah...yes!"
Li Chengfeng touched his chin and pretended to be thinking.
He continued: "However, if I am a little unhappy in the future, your son Cui Kai will still not be able to escape!"
"Uh, this is yes, yes, blame me, blame me for not disciplined dog son well, Cui Kai, why don't you apologize to the Eighth Prince again?"
"Yes, it's my father. I'm sorry to the Eighth Prince. Please forgive me!"
"snort!"
Li Chengfeng didn't go over and was too lazy to pay attention to Cui Kai.
The matter came to an end.
Li Chengfeng's performance at this moment was like a stingy prince who was unreasonable.
In the eyes of the heads of the five big families, this is not a genius prodigy at all, but just a clever eighth prince.
So although their faces were serious, they were extremely happy in their hearts.
Li Shimin was naturally very happy. How could he not understand Li Chengfeng’s little thoughts?
He was just pretending to be stupid and then he was just a good trick on Cui Yansong's money.
...
After everyone arrived at the Imperial Garden, Li Shimin asked the patriarchs of the five surnames and four major families to sit down.
Drink tea, long talk, fruit tea, and good hospitality.
In fact, how could Li Shimin himself not know what the purpose of these four major families came to the palace to find him?
Didn’t you just come to return their mines and ranches by yourself?
But when it comes to what he has, how could Li Shimin return it?
It was in order to weaken the power of the five surnames families that he borrowed the conditions of the year of natural disasters, and like the five surnames families, he sought a lot of wealth resources.
On the surface, Li Shimin said it was used to support refugee people, but in fact, not only that, Li Shimin did this to weaken the power of their four major families.
As for the words of the Li family in Longxi, Li Shimin is the Li family like them.
Besides, he had a good relationship with Li Yuanhai, the head of the Li family, so he just asked him for some gold and did not ask for his mines, ranches and land.
So, Li Yuanhai did not come to the palace here, and Li Shimin could see at a glance that these four smart five-native heads must have come to him to return their ranch and mine?
Li Shimin was afraid that he would be unable to defeat four hands in a verbal battle, so he ordered Li Chengfeng to be recalled.
Who is Li Chengfeng?
The most sophistry talent in the Tang Dynasty.
It is no problem to talk about the various scholars.
So Li Shimin felt that if Li Chengfeng stood by his side, he might have some guarantees.
With his fair share of words, he didn't believe that the heads of these four major families could speak better than Li Chengfeng?
Soon, the heads of the four major families gave gifts to Li Shimin one after another.
First, Wang Tan, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, sent a scary person to send this small box forward and hand it to Li Shimin.
Wang Tan opened the box and smiled and said, "Emperor, this is a treasure brought to you by the old minister from Taiyuan. It is a jade Ruyi of the highest number, which can drive away evil spirits and avoid taboos, and bless the emperor with good health! Please accept it.
Bar!"
"Well, Mr. Wang is really meant. Okay, then I will accept your gift!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and asked Wang Dequan behind him to take it away.
Every time the heads of these four major families come to see him, they will bring some gifts worth a thousand gold to him. Li Shimin has long been used to this.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Shanyuan, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, also took out a small box containing an exquisite purple jade pendant and gave it to Li Shimin.
Zheng Shanyuan said: "Your Majesty, this is a rare purple and gold jade pendant in Xingyang. Please accept it!"
"Haha, Mr. Zheng, this purple-gold jade pendant should be worth a lot of money, right? You're so mean!"
"Haha, as long as the emperor is happy, even if it is priceless, the old minister will give it to the emperor!"
Zheng Shanyuan began to flatter.
Although they are all descendants of the ancient royal family, the emperor who is now the one who is now Li Shimin.
So although they did not accept Li Shimin in their hearts, they were still very respectful and complimented on the surface.
Immediately afterwards, the head of the Lu family in Fanyang and Lupingzhou also took out his treasure and gave it to Li Shimin.
It was a Ruyi fan inlaid with gold and amethyst.
In terms of quality and price, this Ruyi fan is the most expensive.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
He could see that this fan was a good treasure and could not be taken down without a price of about 5,000 gold.
So at this moment, Lupingzhou also felt that he was covered in his face.
Because the gifts they gave were not as valuable as their own, so they could speak later and ask Li Shimin to return some of his mines and ranches slightly. It doesn't matter if they retired less, at least it was also the asset of his Lu family.
ah.
Finally, it was the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, and Cui Yansong, who appeared.
He gave Cui Kai behind him a wink.
Cui Yansong said: "Hurry up and give the emperor a gift. Didn't you say that you bought the most expensive gift, worth 12,000 gold? You haven't taken it out and presented it to the emperor?"
"Yes, yes, this one I bought is a great treasure. The emperor will definitely like it!"
