Chapter 2521 Who dares to make a fuss about the son's contribution to his own father?
Several mute farts resounded around Wu King Li Ke. Li Shimin almost spit on his son's face.
This majestic prince became angry with embarrassment, widened his eyes, and looked at Brother Chu Bi with murderous intent.
"Brother Chu Bi, please be careful what you say. My little brother, well... although I don't have an official position, I am still a prince."
"I have not denied that you are His Royal Highness." Cheng Chubi spread his hands, his face full of innocence.
Li Yuan looked at the two juniors who were fighting like cocks and coughed several times before he could control his emotions.
He glanced at his own son Li Shimin, who had a dark expression on his face, and then gave Cheng Sanlang a false kick with a smile.
"You brat, stop talking nonsense."
"Just kidding to liven up the atmosphere, actually, my son-in-law recommends His Highness King Wu.
Another more important reason is that His Highness is His Majesty’s biological son.”
"Nonsense!" Li Shimin was not only embarrassed, but also had a tendency to hold back his sleeves.
"Cheng Laosan, are you itchy?"
Seeing that his father-in-law was trying to show off his south fist or his north leg, Cheng Sanlang, who was secretly happy, quickly explained seriously.
"My father-in-law, calm down. My son-in-law said this for a reason. Only in this way can we eliminate possible objections from the court to the greatest extent."
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
It's true, although Cheng Sanlang, a brat, is really irritating with his talk, his words really have the feeling of waking up a dreamer.
Anyone who dares to slander a biological son's contribution to his biological father is slandering traditional virtues and destroying the path of benevolence and filial piety.
And it is natural for the biological father to reward his biological son more when he is overjoyed.
"Hmph, next time you better speak your mind. If you dare to hesitate like this, you deserve to be kicked and kicked by me."
"Yes, yes, my son-in-law must pay attention and not make such a mistake next time."
Cheng Chubi apologized with an honest face and said with a smile. He bowed his head and admitted his mistake. Who could be more skillful than him? As for whether he would do it again, he would have to adapt to the actual situation.
Anyway, I had discussed it with Li Ke. If I wanted to go to court, ah no, go to court, I would let Li Ke make a speech on behalf of him to accept the award or something.
After all, it is good for the Cheng family to get benefits. As the saying goes, be low-key and do things high-key, you must keep it in mind.
After all, I had just been fined a year's salary. What if I got into a fight with someone in court and was fined again?
When he thought of the eyes and expressions of his brothers after hearing that he, the handsomest boy of the Cheng family, had been fined, Cheng Chubi wanted to pick up a big stick and fight with them.

"Brother Chu Bi, I also think that what we want is too little. It's only half a percent. That's the one hundred thousand taels of gold, so we can get five thousand taels."
Li Ke, who stood at the door of the warehouse and watched his father, grandfather, brothers and brothers leave, couldn't help but murmured something in a low voice.
"Brother, you have to take a long-term view. People like your father will definitely not let us suffer big losses."
Cheng Chubi patted Li Ke's shoulder with a big slap and said very firmly.
"You have to understand one thing. Our vision cannot be limited to just such a small island. The world is so big. There are countless islands and even continents that have not been conquered and discovered."
"Even for such a small island, half of the annual income goes to the Han and Tang dynasties. What if it is the big island of Ryukyu?"
"Or what about those giant islands farther south that don't even have a few wild hozens, or even the mainland?"
Hearing this, Li Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reacted instantly, raising his fingers.
"Brother Chu Bi, you mean that this is just a bait to catch my father."
Cheng Chubi immediately became happy and raised his thumbs towards His Highness King Wu, who was often whipped by his own father and made him scream.
"Well, he is indeed His Majesty's good son. Your description is very appropriate."
Li Ke's face instantly darkened, and he quickly shook his head in denial. He was really slippery, and he definitely didn't mean to pretend that his biological father was a slippery yellow man.
I had eaten this kind of small fish at Brother Chu Bi's house that day. The meat was very delicious and tender, and the important thing was that there were no small bones.
"...No, no, no, I made a slip of the tongue, that's definitely not what I meant."
"Okay, I'm just teasing you. Come on, come on, let's sum it up. It's best that you go back to your father to explain everything first.
After all, as long as this time there is a rule and it becomes a routine, then..."

Li Zhi sat in the carriage, slowly closed his eyes, and rested his mind.
I just kept reviewing what I saw and heard today in my mind, and when I thought of my elder brother Li Chengqian deliberately teaching me a lesson.
In exchange for the approval of my own father and grandfather, I, His Highness the King of Jin, could only listen to the instructions honestly.
He even had to force out a sincere and grateful smile to express his gratitude to his brother who taught him a lesson.
As for Cheng Sanlang, let's see, after his eldest brother Li Chengqian returned to Luoyang and took over the East Palace.
First, the bridge in Luoyang City was opened to traffic, and then the mountains of gold and silver were discovered, which contributed to the emperor.
Li Zhi felt that even if he thought with his toes, he would feel that there was a problem here, a big problem.
It was clear that these die-hard ministers were building momentum for the prince. As soon as the prince arrived, there was good news and great auspiciousness appeared.
It seems that they should also be aware of those rumors, so they are not only building momentum for the prince's return to the imperial capital, but also trying to divert the attention of the government and the public.
Li Zhi's hands gradually clenched into fists. However, it didn't matter, after all, he was not fighting alone.
It feels really good to think that just a small expression of my own has caused those wealthy families to be ready to take action.
It seems that these aristocratic families know very well that if the eldest brother ascends the throne, it will definitely be bad news for them.
So that being the case, I, the son-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family, was the last hope of the Five Surnames and Qi Wang.
He must make good use of their intricate forces, but if one day, he can really ascend to that position.
These aristocratic families must be severely suppressed, and they must not be allowed to have another chance to influence the will of the royal family.
He should go see his uncle, after all, a few days have not passed.
That uncle who is shrewd but seems to be forward-looking and hesitant in dealing with things is really a headache.
Why can't you stand on your side wholeheartedly? I am your nephew.
If you don't help me, do you still want to watch the nephew who has broken off with you steadily step up to that position?
