The relationship between the street patroller Wu Hou and the palace gate guard in Chang'an City is similar to that between the handyman and the concierge in the big family at this time.
Throw away the bluffing name, and what remains is a relationship where no one looks down on each other, but no one can do anything to the other.
In the past, when we couldn't meet each other, we could just say, you go on your Yangguan Road, and I cross mine on the single-plank bridge, and no one interferes with each other.
But today, two groups of people who were not in conflict with each other accidentally bumped into each other.
So during the long night, the two groups, who had no intention of sleeping and did not dare to sleep, started to put their hands on their waists and started a verbal attack.
Of course, it's okay to curse, but weapons can never be used again!
The three arrows at the beginning were just a test under unknown identity. Once the identity of the opponent is found out, if he still uses weapons, the end will definitely not be good.
The usually quiet Zhuque Gate here is really lively tonight. The upper and lower groups are all rough people. Others may not be good, but when it comes to cursing, you can definitely scold them all day and night without getting tired!
He was full of filthy words, from the other party's female family members, greetings to genealogical ancestors, all kinds of obscenities, it was simply unpalatable!
If General Li Anyuan, who was finally alerted by the sound of drums, had not rushed over and put an end to the farce, poor bank manager Liu would have been hung to dry in the middle of the city wall.
Even so, when Shopkeeper Liu was pulled up again, who was shivering in the cold wind, his face was blue with cold, and his two rows of teeth were fighting desperately.
————————————
"I understand! Thank you for your hard work!"
Late at night, in the Manna Palace.
Li Shimin, who only wore a bright yellow lining, sat on the sofa, listening to Shopkeeper Liu's intermittent narration, then looked at his trembling body from the cold, sighed leisurely, and then said to the palace servants waiting on him: "Go,
Take my great cloak and put it on him!"
"Slave, thank you Lord for your kindness!"
The reason why shopkeeper Liu came directly to see Li Shimin without any modification on his appearance was because he had some intention of negotiating a good deal.
When he heard that the emperor actually gave him his clothes to wear, he was so moved that he touched his head to the ground and began to cry bitterly.
Take off your clothes and feed them!
This is the highest courtesy a superior can give to his subordinates!
Not to mention that he was just an castrated eunuch and a domestic slave of the emperor. If it were anyone else, even the military god Li Jing would be so grateful that he would shed tears of gratitude and wish he could die for his country on the spot!
Oh, I almost forgot, Xiao Han may not be included in this list! After he got the emperor's clothes, his first thought was definitely: how much would this clothes be worth if sold...
"I know it's not easy for you!"
In the main hall, when he saw shopkeeper Liu prostrate on the ground, sobbing bitterly, Li Shimin, who was already feeling emotional, was also filled with thoughts.
He sighed softly, walked down from the couch, took the cloak sent by the palace attendant and put it on Shopkeeper Liu himself, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"However, who makes you the most trustworthy person around me? Study hard outside! Work hard! When the bank is completed, I will give you an official position! Not an official position as a palace official, but an upright and dignified Tang Dynasty
Official job!"
"Ah..." Shopkeeper Liu was completely shocked by these words!
Snot and tears were all hanging on his face. He didn't even bother to wipe it. He just looked at Li Shimin standing in front of him with his hands behind his back!
He is a eunuch, that is, a palace man!
Although there are grades, and the grades are extremely high, this grade can only be used in the palace. In the eyes of the officials outside, he is nothing more than an eunuch! Even if he smiles in front of him, he will be despised in every possible way behind his back!
Moreover, once you become a palace servant, you will basically spend your whole life in the palace. Even if you are too old to be reused, you will never be able to return to your hometown!
Because in the genealogy of my hometown, I have been expelled for being an embarrassing person! It is rare for parents to meet each other, and siblings do not want to recognize each other. Even if they die, they cannot enter the ancestral graves, let alone enjoy the family incense!
After all, in today's world, who would be willing to be labeled as a eunuch's family? Wouldn't that make the whole family unable to hold their heads high in the eyes of others?
"Your Majesty, do you mean that a slave can become an official with a mutilated body?" After lying on the ground in shock for a long time, shopkeeper Liu finally came to his senses and murmured in disbelief.
Li Shimin smiled: "Of course! And from now on, the president of Datang Bank will also be my official official of Datang!"
"But the slave's body?"
"So what if the body is a little bit disabled? Sima Qian was also disabled, but he was able to write the magnificent masterpiece "Historical Records"! Cai Lun, the Marquis of Longting, was also born in the palace, so couldn't he also make paper and benefit the people of the world?"
Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his hands and looked out at the dark night sky through the window. His voice suddenly became sonorous:
"When a man is born in heaven and earth, what matters is how he behaves and what he does! Not just by the two ounces of flesh on his crotch! Although your body is incomplete, your heart is much more complete than many people! Go ahead
!Do it well and do it with your heart!”
"Here!"
Shopkeeper Liu was completely dazzled by this huge surprise. He cupped his hands towards Li Shimin in a daze, and then walked towards the palace door mechanically. He didn't finally react until his hand touched the cold door.
"His Majesty!"
Turning around quickly, shopkeeper Liu bowed to Li Shimin in the hall and said: "Today Xiaohou has withdrawn all the members of the bank, but the servant is stupid and is afraid that without Xiaohou's help, the job will be ruined! Can you?
After encountering a problem, continue to ask Xiaohou for advice?"
Shopkeeper Liu had already thought about this question before he came.
Although, the manager of the Xiao family has informed Shopkeeper Liu that if there is any problem, he can continue to go to the Xiao family to solve it.
But after all, they have withdrawn now, and the bank is a bit special. It is better to ask some questions about such a sensitive matter.
"Yes!" Li Shimin said one word directly without even thinking about Shopkeeper Liu's question!
Shopkeeper Liu bowed deeply, and then asked awkwardly again: "But I don't know what I did wrong. Xiao Hou seems to dislike me and is unwilling to talk to me anymore..."
Li Shimin frowned slightly: "Have you asked him questions before?"
Shopkeeper Liu nodded honestly: "I asked."
"Where did you ask?"
"Go to Xiaohou's mansion"
"What gift did you bring?"
"Uh, I didn't... didn't bring anything?"
"Why……"
This time, Li Shimin let out a long sigh and said faintly: "You, you, you usually look very smart, why are you so confused now? Why don't you have a souvenir when asking for advice? Next time you have questions, remember it.
Bring a souvenir!"
At this point, Li Shimin paused and continued: "By the way, don't mention two boxes of snacks and go, just bring the gold! Just withdraw it from the bank account!"
"Here!" Shopkeeper Liu was sweating on his forehead. Just now he really wanted to bring some tea and snacks and go to ask for advice.
