The imperial edict was quickly spread throughout the Tai Chi Palace.
After many people found out, they became panicked.
After a long time, Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling entered the palace in puzzlement.
What is the purpose of allowing yourself to enter the palace?
They are busy with things in the West Market.
As soon as the two of them entered the palace, they heard Li Shimin shout: "You two know your integrity! Do you two know your mistakes?"
The two of them were confused at once.
"Your Majesty, did I do something to make you unhappy?"
Cheng Yaojin asked.
Fang Xuanling also said: "Your Majesty, isn't it because of my performance? You can raise it. Then you will ask us if we know we are wrong. I am very confused."
The two of them had no idea that they would be killed by Li Shimin.
Where did they go wrong?
This can be compared to a conversation between a couple. The woman asks the man about something he knows is wrong, but the man doesn’t know where he is wrong. That is very embarrassing.
After all, they are also the founding heroes.
It was life and death with Li Shimin.
Even if he made a mistake, Li Shimin would not be as vicious as he is today.
"Hmph! Shujie, tell me!"
Li Shimin's conversation suddenly changed.
It was transferred directly to Wang Gui.
As expected, anyone who can become an emperor must have had two or three moments.
Judging from Li Shimin's behavior, it is a transfer of conflicts.
It means that I didn’t want to do it originally, but Wang Gui requested it and even wrote a petition.
In Li Shimin's opinion, this kind of thing is not a big deal compared to the two people's achievements. It is because the national treasury has no money that they want to make money.
Wang Gui felt cheated.
But having said what I just said, there is no reason not to punish them.
That is to say: "General Cheng, Duke Wei, I have here a petition from hundreds of private businessmen. It says a petition asking your Majesty to strictly control the phenomenon of officials turning to business."
This is very obvious.
But Cheng Yaojin is thick-skinned.
Ask directly: "What does that have to do with us?"
Wang Gui was anxious.
"Does the store you two opened together with the Sixth Prince in the West Market count as doing business?"
After saying this, the two people's expressions changed.
Li Shimin said at this time: "You have to give me a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Wang Gui smiled. As long as the two of them were punished, Li Min would be half done.
You can't hit him from the front, but you can make him uncomfortable from the side.
Without the sales of goods in the West Market, Shengtang Group's sales volume will definitely not increase.
Wei Zheng knew that this matter was not simple.
So he said: "Your Majesty, there may be difficulties in this. General Cheng and the two are men of great merit. They must be thinking about making the Tang Dynasty powerful. They have done such a thing, and they must have considered it!"
This is tantamount to whitewashing them.
Wang Gui said: "No matter what, the rules are like this. If you make a mistake, you should be punished!"
It seems that he is following closely.
Both Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling knew that the Wang family where Wang Gui lived had an irreconcilable conflict with Li Min.
Wang Gui's move this time must have been because he wanted to contain Li Min.
Therefore, they cannot hold back Li Min, and if necessary, break his legs.
Fang Xuanling is always a smart person, and he knows how to make such choices.
So he said: "Your Majesty, I and Zhijie have no intention of doing business!"
In fact, this is not the case. They spent tens of thousands of taels, and now they have almost recovered it.
"That's how it's explained?"
Li Shimin was very passive.
"I want to expand my income through the Sixth Prince's group to help the victims of the Shandong disaster. During this period, there has been a profit of thirty thousand taels! I plan to offer it to the victims of the Shandong disaster. From now on, whenever Datang needs it, I will do it
Where to get relief!”
This is also a last resort.
If they don't do this, it will definitely be a huge blow to the two of them.
He also follows Wang Gui's teachings.
It also made it very difficult for Li Shimin to be a human being.
That's why he said this.
After Cheng Yaojin heard this, although he was a little unwilling, he also agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, I don't want to hide it from you. At the same time, we are also low-key people. There is no reason to make the battle too big!"
In this way, it seems very reasonable.
After Li Shimin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Xuanling did not disappoint him.
But Wang Gui was unhappy.
It took a lot of effort to mess with them, but they were resolved.
In the next thing, Li Shimin will definitely turn on them and trick them.
"I didn't expect that in just a few days, Xuanling would have made a profit of thirty thousand taels. What about Zhijie?"
When asked about Li Shimin's words, everyone felt that something was wrong.
This seems to be an intervention.
"It's also thirty thousand taels!"
In just a few days, the profit was 60,000 yuan.
How much is true is unknown.
Li Shimin would not investigate either.
"I can't thank you two for your good intentions! But officials are not businessmen, I have reiterated this point again and again! From now on, you two should not go to the West Market. As for the shares there, let the imperial court take over! Do these things well.
, I won’t punish you anymore, don’t do similar things in the future!”
It seems that Li Shimin will not punish the two of them. Although Wang Gui is a little unwilling, his goal has been achieved, and weakening Li Min's power is his main goal. He does not want to recruit Ruocheng Fang and the other two.
But Cheng Yaojin was the first to quit.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court is also an official. If you take over, you are still an official and a businessman. Why not, let's withdraw our shares and no longer be involved in such incidents!"
Cheng Yaojin thought that if the court was involved, they might lose a penny, but if he quit, he could sell some more shares to Li Min.
Now I can get some money back, which is the best of both worlds.
Wei Zheng is outspoken and outspoken.
He said directly: "Yes, I think General Cheng is right, and the imperial court cannot intervene, so it is better to withdraw the shares!"
Wang Gui naturally did not want the court to get involved.
After all, the imperial court really has a stake.
Then Li Min's momentum will be even greater.
He also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the court cannot get involved in this matter. Otherwise, it will arouse public outrage!"
Fang Xuanling also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is not allowed!"
Li Shimin was puzzled. Originally, the four people seemed to be divided into two groups, but now it seemed that they worked together to stop him.
Now it's interesting.
Was my decision wrong?
Finally, I had to say: "Okay, you can withdraw your shares now, and the money obtained will be collected by the Ministry of Household Affairs on your behalf for disaster relief!"
Four people can't beat one Li Shimin.
Although his decision in the end was not good, it was not bad for Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling.
For Wang Gui, he achieved his goal.
Let the forces behind Li Min collapse.
Even more delighted.
"Is there anything else?"
Li Shimin asked again.
Wang Gui said: "I have other matters, please leave first!"
Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling also said: "We are going to withdraw our shares right now!"
