Chapter 305 If you don’t want to, I will punish you for the crime of betraying your kindness (please subscribe and vote)
Cheng Chubi's heart suddenly sounded alarm bells, and he secretly screamed that something was wrong. At this time, the best strategy was to keep growing.
"Your Majesty, as the deputy leader of the East Palace, I need to pay attention to the safety of the East Palace at all times. Please allow me to retire..."
"Haha..." Li Shimin suddenly laughed, but the laughter seemed a bit sinister, and Cheng Laosan got goosebumps when he heard it.
It was almost like the defeated general A among the defeated generals, who was asking Prime Minister Cao, who was defeated on Huarong Road but stood upright on his horse to laugh, why he was laughing.
Fortunately, his reason stopped him in time, and he could only try hard to maintain a confused and cute expression. "Your Majesty?"
"I..." Li Shimin just blurted out the words "old man", and instantly thought of Cheng Chubi's classic saying "It's not that old people have become bad, but that bad people have become old."
Immediately, I feel unhappy all over again. Damn it, it makes me feel awkward even if I want to call myself myself. It’s all because of you, a bastard.
"My nephew, can we go?" Cheng Chubi saw Uncle Li's old and ferocious face, and always felt that he was in danger.
"You kid, you are talking nonsense at a young age, and you are talking nonsense in front of me. You are really disrespectful..."
"I have decided to fine you three months' salary. Are you convinced?!"
#####
"What?!" Cheng Chubi calculated that he had worked for the imperial court for a year in vain.
"If you dare to act stupid again, believe it or not, I will kick you!" Li Shimin said with a dark face and raised his legs.
Li Chengqian wanted to laugh but didn't dare. He looked at his frowning good friend with a strange expression.
Zhao Kun on the side was not much better, grinning like a dog on fire.
What else could Cheng Chubi say? But when he thought of himself as a newcomer in the official career, it had already been more than half a year since he joined the job.
He hasn't even received a single coin yet, and now he has become the target of ridicule for his eldest brother and second brother. Thinking of this, Cheng Chubi felt extremely sad in his heart.
"Your Majesty, why don't we change to something else? Since I joined the job, I haven't even earned a copper penny in salary. It's so embarrassing..."
"Pfft..." There was another faint sound, but fortunately, Li Shimin's sudden burst of hearty laughter covered up the strange sound.
After Li Chengqian laughed a few times, he felt it was a bit inappropriate. He always felt that he was sorry for his friend by laughing at Cheng Chubi like this, but he couldn't hold it in if he didn't laugh.
Zhao Kun, the hairy-faced guard, was already there regardless of what he was doing.
Hearing this, Cheng Chubi felt secretly resentful, but one was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the other was the head bodyguard of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Who can I fight against? Neither mentally nor physically.
Come on, who told us, the old Cheng family, to like to convince people with virtue and not to argue with these guys endlessly?
Li Shimin shook his head and looked at the pitiful Cheng Chubi with a dark look on his face. He really didn't know what to say.
Li Shimin, who stopped laughing for a long time, reached out and groped around on his body for a long time before he discovered it with some embarrassment.
His majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was actually penniless, so he could only curl his fingers towards Zhao Kun. "Give me your wallet."
Zhao Kun pulled off the money bag from his waist in confusion and handed it to Li Shimin.
Cheng Chubi watched with helpless eyes and saw Uncle Li looking out of the money bag.
He took out a small piece of gold leaf, another small piece of silver ingot, and then one, two, three, four and five copper plates.
His eyes lit up involuntarily. Could it be that Uncle Li finally realized his conscience and was preparing to pay wages on the spot? Boss, he is really considerate.
Li Shimin looked up and saw Cheng Chubi's eyes gleaming with impatience, he laughed, and then pulled.
"I am true to my word, and my salary for those three months must be forfeited, but I am very kind.
Giving you these salaries from the confiscated salaries can be regarded as fulfilling your long-cherished wish to receive your salary from me."
Cheng Chubi's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched Uncle Li put all the gold leaves and silver ingots back into the purse and threw them back to the hairy-faced Zhao Kun next to him.
On the table, there were only five copper plates left that were not so bright in color and had obviously been touched by countless hands.
"That's it?" Cheng Chubi felt bad. Do you think I am a beggar?! Boss, you are so humiliating me.
Do you know that when a man is angry, blood will flow for five steps? Do you know that you should not bully a young man into poverty...
"If you don't want to, I will punish you for the crime of betraying the king's kindness." Li Shimin tried his best to suppress his laughter and said seriously.
"???" Cheng Chubi's face was as dark as a black hole. God is guilty of betraying the emperor's kindness. Could this crime be made up by you?
What else could Cheng Chubi say? He could only stretch out his fingers with a sad look on his face and pull the copper plates into his palm one by one.
That look was even more entangled and sad than that of Yang Bailao, who went to Huang Shiren to borrow a loan at a high interest rate.
Cheng Chubi walked out of the Manna Hall. He was so timid that he turned around and wanted to rush behind him and take a sip.
Finally, he turned around and saw Zhao Kun, an old man with a rough face, staring at him with an evil look, like a square lady wearing a red armband.
Waiting for the five good young men to spit everywhere, so that they can rush over and slap them with a big slap in the face to take back the five copper coins as a fine.
Cheng Chubi could only force a smile and wrap up his black bear fur tightly. At this moment, in this cold winter.
In this indifferent world, all I have is the thick fur on my body.
Only then could Cheng Chubi, who had just received a salary of five copper coins and was depressed both physically and mentally, feel a trace of remaining warmth. Day!
This is a noun, but unfortunately on such a windy and snowy day, seeing that thing is simply a luxury.
Sure enough, it is dangerous to work for Uncle Li, a bad emperor who always likes to ridicule oneself. Alas...
He touched his handsome and smooth face, but it was a pity that he was too young and handsome. I am afraid that within thirty to fifty years, it would be difficult for him to beg for his life.

In the Ganlu Hall, at this moment, Queen Changsun finally walked out of the inner room and quickly came to Li Chengqian.
Facing Li Chengqian's eyes that were obviously filled with surprise and surprise, Queen Changsun couldn't help but feel a little sad, but there were some things she couldn't say.
"You kid, get up quickly." Empress Changsun supported Li Chengqian who wanted to salute and sat back down.
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with a complicated expression. "Tai...Chengqian, when did you have such a skill that you can never forget something."
"Father, my son has been able to do this for a long time, but... Mr. Li (Li Gang [really awesome, mentor to three princes in two dynasties]), my mentor in my early years, believes that this is just a talent.
That's all.
I know the book very quickly, but if I don't understand its meaning deeply, it is not beautiful. My son and I also feel that what the teacher said is reasonable."
"..." Li Shimin smacked his lips. For a moment, he really didn't know what to say. With such a talent, doesn't it prove that the prince is extremely smart?
He actually thought it was just a talent, but the prince was a child who respected his teachers very much...
Empress Changsun's dark eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly. After a while, she forced a smile, lowered her voice and whispered in Li Chengqian's ear.
"What your master said makes some sense. It's just that if you don't dare to talk to your father about this matter, you should talk to your mother."
"I just feel that since I don't have any ability, I don't have the nerve to say anything..." Li Chengqian smiled shyly and answered in a low voice.
