Chapter 112: The Conspiracy of the Serpent

"What advice do you have?"

Si bowed and said, "Your Highness, the military power must not be lost! No matter what means you use, you must ask Your Highness to retain the military power, even if you advise Your Majesty to make some concessions."

Li Fangchen nodded slightly, signaling that he knew, and then he disappeared into the darkness.

This method of coming and going without a trace is really interesting. If Fang Chen had not been night blind, it would have been difficult to find out how the other party would leave.

He walks silently, and it seems that he is indeed very capable.

It was just that the hidden method was a little bit bad. Fang Chen was distracted when he came in, so he didn't realize that now that the other party left, every move was recorded in Fang Chen's mind.

The next day, the court was indeed as said. Nearly half of the court officials said that the prince had not yet opened a government office and could not have military power.

The Ministry of Revenue even attacked the King of Qin and King Wei at the same time. The two princes acted recklessly and deliberately raised prices in order to pay half of the tax.

Li Shimin was furious and scolded all officials on the spot, then slapped the table.

All officials continued to ask for the report, feeling that they would never give up.

The profit of Liuli is really terrible. Just after yesterday's auction, someone came up with a rough figure, one million coins!

Such profits must not be kept in the hands of the royal family, and the best choice is to take them back to the country.

The emperor is willful when he is rich, and has been alert since ancient times. In addition to aristocratic families, some ministers will also choose to stand opposite Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, those who are the king should not compete with the people for profit!"

Kong Yingda cried sadly, hoping that Li Shimin could wake up.

He was so angry that he couldn't bear it. Li Shimin didn't want to compromise himself, but this time he had to compromise again.

"Come here, summon the King of Qin and the King of Wei into the palace!"

Li Fangchen was happy when he received the news.

"You really guessed it right, then guess what I will do next?"

Mi hurriedly put down the chess piece and said, "I dare not guess your noble intentions, I just hope that your noble will not abandon his military power."

Li Fangchen laughed and left with Xuanyi.

After Li Fangchen left, he wiped his cold sweat and moved his very sore wrist.

"This chess is really hard to play. I have made dozens of games, but I haven't won a single game." A thought suddenly popped up in Si's mind and couldn't help blurting out, "Your Highness, don't be impulsive!"

Found a rookie, Li Fangchen won for a while and was in a very good mood.

After entering Zichen Hall, I wanted to pay my respects to Li Shimin, "My son, please pay homage to my father!"

"Yu'er is here, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Sitting down openly, Li Fangchen asked with a smile: "I don't know what the father calls his son to come?"

From beginning to end, I have never looked at all the officials.

Li Shimin sneered: "My lords think that although you have the title of prince, you have not yet opened a government office, so you should not have the right to command troops."

Li Fangchen smiled and nodded, "Since that's the case, father, you just need to take it back."

"ah?"

Li Shimin was also stunned by Li Fangchen's attitude. It's so simple?

All officials were even more stunned. How could it be?

Since he told him last night, Li Fangchen has made plans in his mind.

After yawning, Li Fangchen stood up and said, "Father, is there anything else?"

"Your Highness King Qin, the Liulifang built by you and Your Highness King Wei do not have any taxes, and this matter is inconsistent!" An official from the Ministry of Revenue said.

Li Fangchen rolled his eyes, "I've paid taxes!"

"What?" Everyone was shocked again. The money was obviously transported back to the palace last night, so how did the King of Qin pay taxes?

Li Fangchen asked, "This Ministry of Revenue, I don't know if the Tang Dynasty said that the rule of taxing raw materials for the last time and the last time the finished products for the last time?"

“This…no…can…”

"But what? If you want to check the tax, then check it. Qingque had already paid the tax money a month ago. If you are planning to collect double payments, why are this? Can you pay too much taxes?"

The fourth-rank official of the Ministry of Revenue pleaded guilty, but he didn't dare to do so.

"So, who has any questions?"

Due to Li Fangchen's eyes, the officials who jumped out before all looked away.

In the end, there was no way, a noble minister jumped out and said, "Actually, your Highness, you don't have to take back the military power, just..."

"Hurry up and collect it! It's not OK if you don't! Today I will tell you that I don't want military power, hum!"

Li Fangchen seemed to be angry and blocked all the man's words.

Li Shimin laughed, laughing loudly. He never expected that Yu'er would have such a move. What reason would the officials have to take profits from him? He had done everything before and had to lose hundreds of thousands of yuan. Unexpectedly, Yu'er took action and got everything done!

"Since that's the case, I will tell you that I will question it. Reclaim the military power of the Qin Prince's Mansion, retain the position of the left and right generals, and retreat to the court!"

Li Shimin took Li Fangchen away, and all the officials were stunned.

For example, Changsun Wuji is the official close to Li Shimin, and they sneer on each other.

Yuchi Jingde said: "I asked you to plot, and now I have offended Your Majesty and His Highness the King of Qin. You guys, you are so brave!"

Only those clergy officials and some civil officials who had been open before were left in the hall, staring at each other with big eyes.

"Mr. Wang, this is the good way you said? You must give me an explanation today!"

"Yes, Lord Wang, our Majesty and His Highness of Qin have been offended at once. In the future, if His Highness of Qin causes trouble, you must bear it!"

Wang Gui, a Taiyuan family, was born in the Wang family and the Minister of Rites, was suffering at this moment.

Fundamentally speaking, he is definitely thinking about the overall situation, and a small part is for the family.

Unlike other ministers, he knew very well about His Majesty’s ambitions. If the money was exchanged for His Majesty’s war, he would be afraid that the Tang Dynasty would suffer another disaster, so he had such a solution.

Unexpectedly, His Highness the King of Qin was so free and easy, and he never cared about it?

The King of Qin did not command the troops? I am afraid that after today, the whole of Chang'an would treat them as a joke!

But in Kunning Palace, Si's face changed several times, and finally healed.

"Your Highness is very impressed by this move!"

The boss has done it, so naturally he can't say anything more, but instead he has to help the King of Qin plan again.

If there is no military power, this is definitely a big problem!

But His Highness Qin has the world in mind, so he can only say that he has found a good master!

Little did he know that Li Shimin was taking Li Fangchen to the Yangxin Palace to taste tea.

"Yu'er, I will give you an explanation for this matter. Don't worry, it won't take long!"

"Father, no need. Anyway, I'm still young, and I can't leave the palace even if I want military power. Instead of doing this, it's better not to be upset."

Li Shimin was silent and almost forgot that the military power of the Qin King's Mansion is indeed like a waste of money to Yu'er.

"Yu'er, do you think I shouldn't have this money?"

Li Fangchen smiled and said, "It depends on how the money is used."

"Oh? Tell me, what are your plans?"

"Does my father think it's too time-consuming to travel from Chang'an to Luoyang?"

"Yu'er, what do you mean?"

"I have heard a saying, "If you want to be rich, you must first build a road!"
