Chapter 569: Wang Zian: Its not my fault, it was all done by His Majesty
Li Shimin turned his head and glanced at his own queen, who was talking to Su Feier with a smile. She didn't say anything. She turned around and continued to invite Cheng Yaojin to drink.
Cheng Yaojin kicked Wang Zi'an angrily.
"You bastard, you don't have any sharp eyesight. Didn't you see our two father-in-laws drinking? Come here and pour the wine——"
Wang Zi’an:……
His eyes glanced at the pair of jade bracelets on Su Feier's wrist, and he grinned happily.
He went to pour the wine obediently.
Today, you are all the boss.
Not only did he pour wine for Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin, but he also refilled the tea for Empress Changsun and Mrs. Sun. While refilling the tea, he also did not forget to flatter them at the same time.
"The faces of the two mothers-in-law are getting more and more rosy. My son-in-law has recently made a batch of special donkey-hide gelatin for the two mothers-in-law. I will ask the people below to deliver it to them later. The two mothers-in-law will continue to take it for a while.
May you be healthy, radiant, and twenty years younger..."
Empress Changsun was so amused by this guy that she couldn't help but laugh and scolded.
"This child will please others——"
He said it, but the smile on his eyebrows could no longer stop.
Nowadays, among the top elite circles in Chang'an City, everyone knows that there is a magical item called donkey-hide gelatin in Chang'an Mansion, which can regulate qi and blood and maintain the body, but few can enjoy this donkey-hide gelatin.
There is no way, even if you have money, you can't buy it. If you live in peace and prosperity, you will be rich, and you will not be short of money.
If you don't have a strong relationship, it's useless even if you ask for help.
Therefore, when she heard that Wang Zi'an personally cooked donkey-hide gelatin for her two children, even Empress Changsun couldn't help but smile. After eating donkey-hide gelatin during this period, she could feel that her physical condition was much better without anyone having to tell her.
That is definitely a first-class treasure.
"I asked you to bother——"
Mrs. Sun looked at Wang Zi'an lovingly, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
"Stop being so busy, sit down and have something to eat -"
As he said this, he did not forget to glare at Cheng Yaojin fiercely.
Cheng Yaojin:......
Old lady, who are you with?
However, he did not dare to continue tormenting Wang Zi'an. Li Shimin also touched the wine bottle in front of him with tacit understanding. If it does not pour, it will not pour. Without Zhang Butcher, can we still eat pork with hair on it?
We pour it ourselves!
"Come on, Lao Cheng, we two brothers will leave one more time..."
The atmosphere at the wine table soon became lively. Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, Gao Fu and Lao Geng gathered together to drink. Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu were teasing little Sizi, taking the opportunity to enjoy family happiness and looking back from time to time.
Discussing a few lines of Tao Te Ching with Master and Disciple Yun Xuzi, Queen Changsun and Mrs. Sun took Su Feier and Cheng Ying'er to chat about their parents.
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chumo, and Cheng Chuliang were not at the table at all. They were joined by Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai, Xue Rengui, and Wu Zetian, where they sat down and feasted, not daring to take another sip of wine.
What else can they do? They don't dare to act recklessly in this situation.
Xue Rengui and Li Chengqian were better off, but Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang were really depressed.
After eating for a while, he glanced at Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui understood this, and several people immediately made excuses, got up and ran away. Even Wu Zetian didn't forget to pull him away.
Watching his son drag Xue Rengui and Li Chengqian away secretly, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth secretly. He knew that these two idiots must have gone behind to drink secretly, but he didn't stop him.
I know what kind of bear my son is, and if he can urinate in the same pot as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xue Rengui, it will be their blessing.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it’s a rare time of year to reunite in a relaxed way.
Even Li Yuan, who had always been reluctant to see Li Shimin, looked much better today. Li Shimin himself didn't know whether it was because the old man had let go of the past or because so many people were here.
However, this is not important, what is important is this opportunity.
He quickly put on a shy face and went over to bring two glasses of wine to his father, trying his best to flatter him. With such a posture, Wang Zi'an estimated that if he had a tail, he would wish he could wag it.
Li Yuan was a little too lazy to drink at first, but Zhang Jieyu helped and said a few kind words in a gentle voice, and Li Yuan reluctantly drank the wine.
Li Shimin was immediately overjoyed.
Returning the favor, he personally raised the jug and offered Zhang Jieyu two glasses of water and wine. Zhang Jieyu was much more cheerful than Li Yuan. She thanked him and drank it all in one gulp. Her pretty little face suddenly turned red.
Already.
Because today is New Year's Eve, Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and others had a tacit understanding. Seeing that the time was almost up, they all stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, he heard rapid footsteps coming from outside. Wang Zi'an couldn't help but frown slightly, raised his head and looked outside, and then saw his foreign steward Wang Meng running in quickly.
"Master Qi, it's amazing. There are many people outside. They insist on kowtowing to our house. No matter how hard they pull, they can't hold them back. You should go and have a look. Many people nearby have come out to look.
It’s so lively…”
Wang Zi’an:……
"Is there anything new like this?"
Li Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and stood up with a curious look on his face.
"I have lived in Chang'an for so many years, and this is the first time I have heard of such a strange thing. Come on, I will go with you to see what is going on..."
"Me too, me too -"
Seeing Li Yuan starting to move, Li Shimin quickly stood up and followed him.
Although privately, he and Li Shimin played rogue without hesitation, but at the critical moment, Cheng Yaojin put down his chopsticks and rushed out. As he walked, he secretly winked at his daughter.
Cheng Ying'er understood, turned around and went to the backyard to call for help.
Before Wang Zian could reach the gate, he heard Gu Zhong's earnest persuasion from outside.
"Let me tell you, everyone, our Marquis accepts your wishes, don't kneel down, don't kneel down - alas..."
Take two steps quickly.
The gate opened and Wang Zi'an stepped out. The crowd fell silent instantly, and then they all knelt down. Even the old men who had just kowtowed and were dragged up by Gu Zhong also knelt down.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The prince felt a toothache when he settled down.
You guys are making trouble. You are still kneeling down to me at such an old age, and you are not afraid of shortening my life.
He quickly rushed forward and helped the oldest old men in front of him up.
"Old man, please speak slowly. I can't bear this..."
The leader, the old man, had white beard and hair, a dark face, and a thin body. His big hand looked like a dead tree, tightly holding Wang Zi'an's palm.
"Master Marquis, let alone one head, even a thousand heads, ten thousand heads, you can afford it. If you hadn't recruited us, given us shelter, given us a place to live, and given us money to support ourselves,
If there is no chance, those of us who have left our homes may have long been starved to death in the wilderness..."
"Yes, Lord Marquis, you are our reborn parents..."
"..."
Many people said that they wanted to kneel down again.
Looking at the crowd that was constantly gathering in front of him and the people who were grateful to Wang Zi'an, Li Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly and glanced at Li Shimin without leaving any trace.
Li Shimin looked at Wang Zian calmly.
He didn't doubt that Wang Zi'an would win people's hearts, but he wanted to see what Wang Zi'an said. He knew that if Wang Zi'an didn't handle the situation well, I'm afraid that tonight, there would be countless memorials to impeach Wang Zi'an, like snowflakes.
Your own royal study room.
Wang Zi’an:……
Are you making a fuss?
Looking at the crowds of people who were still rushing this way, Wang Zi'an almost broke down in sweat.
Are you trying to trick me?
Wang Zi'an smiled bitterly and pulled several old men who were about to kneel down again, raised his head and said seriously.
"Dear elders and fellow countrymen, I'm afraid you have misunderstood——"
Having said this, Wang Zi'an pulled Li Shimin beside him.
"Although I did my best to deal with your affairs and made some suggestions on the side, at that time I was just an ordinary citizen. How could I be able to do such a big thing?"
The refugees who kept arriving couldn't help but open their eyes in surprise, and many thoughtful people who were hiding in the crowd to watch the excitement also secretly pricked their ears.
"The real owner behind Datang Changle Trading Company is not me, but the current His Majesty - His Majesty is the largest owner of Datang Trading Company. I only hold less than 10% of the shares..."
Li Shimin:......
I am a dignified emperor, taking the lead in doing business, is that right?
"No, Zian——"
He wanted to explain a few words and help this bitch casually. This bitch was used to talking casually. If he started talking nonsense and was caught, he would have to come out and wipe his butt in the end.
However, before he could finish his words, he was slapped back by Wang Zi'an.
At the same time, he scolded angrily in a low voice.
"Shut up first!"
You have to wear this hat no matter what you say today!
Li Shimin:......
Pulling Li Shimin behind him, Wang Zi'an took a deep breath and spoke to the growing crowd outside.
"So, the person you need to thank is not me, but His Majesty——"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd.
Many people reacted immediately.
Ah, so that’s it!
This is very reasonable.
No wonder that the trading firm was named Tang Dynasty Changle Trading Firm. No wonder this trading firm recruited tens of thousands of refugees regardless of the old, weak, sick or disabled, without any fear of His Majesty. No wonder there was such a shortage of food at the beginning, and these refugees were not short of supplies. No wonder that the food was not lacking at the time.
In the turmoil, all the legitimate sons of the Cui family were involved, but the Changle Trading Company of Tang Dynasty was safe and sound.
It turns out that this is all His Majesty’s handiwork!
Even the refugees were shaken. The old man at the head looked at Wang Zi'an with his beard trembling.
"Does Mr. Hou really mean what he said?"
Wang Zi'an spread his hands sincerely.
"This is a good deed to accumulate good deeds, and it is not an evil deed. If I did it, what can I extrapolate from it? Think about it, if it were just me, nothing else, if it weren't for His Majesty's silent support behind the scenes.
, even if I have great abilities, I still can’t get so much food for everyone——”
Seeing that everyone had some looks of trust, Wang Zi'an bowed his hands very simply.
"So, instead of standing in front of me to thank me, you should go and thank His Majesty. He is the one who does good deeds without leaving his name -"
"Sorry to bother Mr. Marquis, let's go and kowtow to His Majesty to thank you——"
A few old men were probably the recommended representatives of the elders. These people bowed deeply to Prince An, then turned around and left.
Wang Zi'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When he turned around, he saw Li Shimin staring at him dumbfounded, unable to speak.
Wang Zi'an pulled him back angrily.
"Let's go, let's go, why are you still standing here? There's something to say -"
There was nothing much to see and the crowd dispersed.
In fact, when many people in the crowd saw Li Yuan, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun appearing on the steps at the same time, they knew that Wang Zi'an, the thief, was probably safe and sound again.
At this time, seeing that Wang Zi'an had no nostalgia for this overwhelming reputation, and without even accepting it, he shook his hand and put it on His Majesty's head. His evaluation of this thief in his heart increased a few points without realizing it.
Where is this reckless and impulsive young man?
This is clearly a slippery little fox!
As soon as he entered the gate, Wang Zi'an's face fell and he looked at Li Shimin angrily.
"What kind of expression are you looking at? Why do you still want to take the credit for this?"
Having said this, Wang Zi'an looked at him with disgust.
"I said, how do you grow such a melon in your head? Just tell me, does it have water? Does it have water? Is this kind of achievement that our little shoulders can withstand?"
Li Shimin:......
No, what did I just say?
However, before he could defend himself, Wang Zi'an patted him on the shoulder and gave him a serious lesson.
"I said to Mr. Li, father-in-law, please be more careful. We can take the credit for this, but the public support is really unworthy. I'm better off. After all, my surname is not Li, so you will be in trouble. Your surname is Li."
Ah, not only is your surname Li, but you also have some royal blood..."
Having said this, Wang Zi'an clicked his tongue, with a caring expression on his face.
"As a member of the Li Tang clan, you want to buy people's hearts - do you think you have a long life?"
Li Shimin: No, I——
"Okay, at such an old age, you have to learn to think twice before doing anything in the future. Don't rush forward foolishly when you see the benefits. You have to be careful that you will take your life and lose your life -"
Seeing that her second son was being taught like a child by Wang Zi'an again, Empress Changsun couldn't help but feel funny in her heart. She pursed her lips and smiled as she looked at Li Shimin shrunk and said nothing.
Zhang Jieyu was even more stunned and didn't know how to calm down the expression on her face.
Li Yuan looked strange.
Ah, this——
Little brother, your lesson makes sense!
At this time, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai and the two brothers from the Cheng family, who were hiding in the backyard drinking, rushed out drunkenly, each holding a weapon.
Seeing their bad behavior, Cheng Yaojin was furious.
He rushed forward and aimed at his two sons, bang bang with his feet.
It doesn’t come out when it should come out, and it comes out when it shouldn’t come out. Do you still have any eyesight?
