Chapter 242 Your Majesty, Fang Yuan is my son-in-law
"Your Majesty, how could you be like this?"
"Fang Yuan comes from a humble background, how can he be the opponent of a big family like the Bolingcui family?"
Du Ruhui said with a dissatisfied tone.
Even though Li Shimin is the king and he is the minister, he has to say this.
Fang Yuan is his son-in-law, the object of his hope, and cannot be destroyed by Li Shimin.
"Keming, I have my own ideas."
Li Shimin sighed and said with difficulty.
"Your Majesty, no matter what your thoughts are, you cannot ignore Fang Yuan."
"Fang Yuan is my son-in-law. He has helped you many times. You can ask him to be a pioneer, but you have to support him."
Du Ruhui has followed Li Shimin for many years.
The two are not only monarchs and ministers, but also friends for many years.
Du Ruhui often understood what Li Shimin meant and what he was thinking.
Li Shimin must have wanted to deal with Qi Wang, the fifth surname, so he took Fang Yuan as the vanguard and slowly targeted Qi Wang, the fifth surname.
Du Ruhui has no problem with this, but the key is that you can't just let people do the work and not give them support if something goes wrong.
"Keming, don't get me wrong, I didn't give him my support."
Li Shimin frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.
But seeing Du Ruhui's pale face with a sickly red color, the dissatisfaction in my heart disappeared.
Du Ruhui has dedicated himself to serving the country, the people, and himself for most of his life. Now he only has two months at most, so let him.
"Since Your Majesty supports me, shouldn't you solve the problems I am currently facing?"
Fang Yuan interjected.
He somewhat admired Du Ruhui.
It is estimated that it was Du Ruhui who was able to get Li Shimin to be so kind.
In that case, I will take this opportunity to get benefits or support from Li Shimin.
When Du Ruhui saw Fang Yuan talking, he stopped speaking and looked at Li Shimin for a reply.
"What's your problem now?"
Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan with dissatisfaction and said with a headache.
Not angry at all, but both Fang Yuan and Du Ruhui were speechless.
It was obvious that both the father-in-law and his father-in-law were dissatisfied with themselves, and they even joined forces to target them.
"The suspension document, and making Bolingcui believe that I have nothing to do with banknote counterfeiting!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
The main problem now is actually the issue of paper money.
The suspension document was affected by the banknote issue and was just an additional issue.
"I can help you solve the first problem."
"But I am powerless on the second question."
Li Shimin shook his head and said.
The Shangshu Province is controlled by the imperial power and can cancel this document.
But the Boling Cui family couldn't control themselves, and there was no way to make Cui Runyu and others believe that it had nothing to do with Fang Yuan.
"If Your Majesty cannot do it, then I will release Princess Gaomi."
"How things evolve in the end is beyond my control."
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice.
An emperor would say that it is shameful to be powerless, but most likely he is really powerless.
But Fang Yuan doesn't care about this. What he wants is the result, not the emperor's weak rhetoric.
"Where did you hide Princess Gaomi?"
Li Shimin suddenly asked curiously.
He did not pay attention to the traces of Princess Gaomi, but he knew that the Bolingcui family could not find Princess Gaomi.
The Bolingcui family's intelligence is no worse than that of the royal family, but even if they still fail to find Princess Gaomi, it can be seen that Fang Yuan is hiding deeply.
"This is a secret."
"Your Majesty, don't change the subject."
Fang Yuan shook his head, not planning to tell Li Shimin.
He was not sure whether Li Shimin would kill people and silence them.
If the current Princess Gaomi dies mysteriously, the Bolingcui family will truly believe that she is the instigator behind the scenes.
"I can agree to the first condition right now."
"But for the second condition, I will try my best. I am not sure whether it will succeed or not."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
He didn't want to agree, but he couldn't resist Du Ruhui's eyes.
Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan, you want benefits from me, and I will ask you to spit them out later.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fang Yuan naturally didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking.
After getting his approval, he saluted Li Shimin and prepared to leave.
"Your Majesty, that minister also resigned."
When Du Ruhui saw this, he was also ready to leave.
He was pretending to be faint just now, and his target was Pei Ji.
If he died because of this, then Pei Ji would not be able to escape his involvement.
It's a pity that he didn't die.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go quickly."
Li Shimin said impatiently.
There are probably not many people who dare to talk to themselves like this now.
People like Fang Yuan and Du Ruhui would have dragged them out to fight long ago.
Fang Yuan and Du Ruhui bowed once more and said goodbye.
Du He hardly spoke the whole time, and immediately followed the two as they left.
Soon, leave the emperor's palace.
"Fang Yuan, what's going on with the banknotes?"
Du Ruhui asked.
Fang Yuan didn't say much just now, and he only understood it half-understood.
There are only three people here now. It can be explained that Du He is his heir and someone he can trust.
"Since the last time I talked to you about opening a bank, Your Majesty wants to share"
Fang Yuan told the situation.
This includes the participation of Princess Gaomi and the fact that she was almost discovered.
Speaking of which, Princess Gaomi was not too careful and ended up exchanging copper coins by herself many times.
Now I have made a lot of money, but I am locked in a cell by myself, and I don’t know when I will be released.
More importantly, the Bolingcui clan has now shifted the conflict to himself, which Fang Yuan does not want to see.
"So that's how it is."
"So, this is why the Bolingcui family burned down our Bafang Group's store."
Du He patted his head and understood.
Du He and others were very dissatisfied with Bolingcui's attack on the Bafang Group.
But what is the truth, Du He and others are not sure, they just believed Fang Yuan's lies and started to fight back.
But even without Fang Yuan, Du He, Changsun Chong and others would fight back if their business was burned down.
"I didn't expect there to be such a complicated thing."
"It's understandable that Your Majesty wants to sit back and take advantage of the situation. After all, the Five Surnames and the Seven are now very powerful."
"But don't worry, if Your Majesty doesn't take action, I will force him to go down this road."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Du Ruhui also understood.
I know the whole story.
It’s understandable that the emperor doesn’t want to take action.
But today he found out that the emperor had no choice but to take action.
Because Fang Yuan is his son-in-law, he does not allow anyone to hurt him.
Even the Bolingcui family can't do it. Now that I'm not dead, I'll give it a try if I have the guts.
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Fang Yuan solemnly thanked Du Ruhui.
Having a good father-in-law makes life much more comfortable.
For Du Ruhui to treat himself like this is really no less important than treating his own son.
I thought that I would be absolutely unambiguous in my treatment of Du Miaoyan, so that he could feel at ease despite being overwhelmed.
"Family, why are you so polite?"
Du Ruhui shook his head and said.
While you are still alive, help Fang Yuan as much as possible.
It's impossible to remove the thorns that stand in your way, and you won't do it yourself.
Only by truly overcoming many difficulties can the future have unlimited prospects and no one can defeat it.
But for the enemy in front of him was also his own enemy, Du Ruhui felt that it was necessary to kill him.
Pei Ji is in Shangshu Province.
He seemed to be correcting official documents seriously, but he was absent-minded.
Du Ruhui was sent to the palace in a daze. There is no news about what is going on now.
If Du Ruhui dies like this, he will have to bear another infamy in his life.
This is only one of the reasons. The second is that it is very likely that this incident will lead to another career.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
"Shang Shuzuo Pushe accepts the order!"
Suddenly, a sharp sound came from outside the door.
No need to think, this voice is the voice of the palace eunuch.
Pei Ji was immediately frightened, thinking to himself that it was Du Ruhui who died and the emperor would hold him accountable, right?
With the arrival of the imperial edict, the ministers of Shangshu Province also stepped forward to welcome the imperial edict.
"Your Majesty Pei Ji accepts the order!"
Pei Ji took a deep breath and walked out of the room.
He was worried in his heart, but remained calm on the outside.
"Zuopushe Pei Ji of Shangshu Province was in charge of Shangshu Province and revised and annotated many laws for the Tang Dynasty."
"However, Chang'an ordered Fang Yuan to be suspended from duty after he refused the document from the Ministry of Punishments. This was a mistake. He was ordered to suspend from duty for three days to reflect!"
Eunuch Wang De read out the imperial edict.
Pei Ji was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that an imperial edict was issued because of this trivial matter.
What was even more unexpected was that the imperial edict made such a small mistake as suspending him for three days.
Other officials from the Shangshu Province also felt surprised when they heard this, and looked at Pei Ji secretly.
"Prime Minister Pei, please accept the order. I have to go back to answer the order."
Wang De said softly.
He was worried that he would be beaten if he preached imperial edicts to people like Pei Ji.
So I want to give the imperial edict to Pei Ji quickly and then leave.
"Your Majesty's move really hurts my heart."
"I have worked hard for the Tang Dynasty for thirteen years. I have worked hard without any merit. If I treat a minister like this for a minister who has done something wrong, I should go to the Supreme Emperor to argue!"
Pei Ji pushed Wang De away and said angrily.
If many officials from Shangshu Province weren't here, Pei Ji would really want to beat someone.
It’s really infuriating that a decree was issued for a small house.
Okay, the emperor wants to protect Fang Yuan, right? Then he will make the matter bigger and see if the emperor wants to lose face.
"Prime Minister Pei, Prime Minister Pei"
Wang De symbolically chases Pei Ji.
But the pace has obviously slowed down a lot.
When he finally left Shangshu Province, he did not continue the pursuit and returned to the palace to renew the order.
Soon, Wang De returned to the palace to report to Li Shimin.
"This guy is losing face to me more and more."
Li Shimin cursed angrily.
Whatever you do, go to the Supreme Emperor to settle accounts.
The Supreme Emperor spoke, but he was embarrassed to refuse, otherwise it would be unfilial.
Every time he learned that Pei Ji was looking for the Supreme Emperor, Li Shimin became a little disgusted with Pei Ji's attitude.
Wang De said nothing and lowered his head, as if he didn't hear.
"Ask Li Junxian to go to the Chang'an County government office and take away Cui Naisheng in exchange for Cheng Yaojin."
Li Shimin said calmly.
He forgot Cui Xuansu's name for a while.
But Cheng Yaojin has been imprisoned for two days. If he doesn't save others, he will be the emperor who laughs.
"Yes!"
Wang De leaves.
Soon, Li Junxian went to do something.
The other side.
Fang Yuan, Du Ruhui and others separated after leaving the palace.
Du Ruhui only needs Du He to take care of him, there is no need to deliver it in person.
Not long after returning, Li Junxian came with several forbidden troops to express his intention.
"That being the case, then General Li will take people there."
Fang Yuan smiled.
This is a signal that Li Shimin wants to intervene.
He had no choice but to intervene. He was the one who would be embarrassed if he didn't save Cheng Yaojin.
Soon, Fang Yuan asked someone to bring the dying Cui Xuansu.
"How can I explain this order to the Bolingcui family?"
Li Junxian looked at Cui Xuansu who was unable to stand still and asked someone to carry him, and the corners of his mouth twitched crazily.
Before he came in, he was a good person and a famous master. When he came out, he was almost like a dead dog.
The Bolingcui family is not something to be trifled with. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to hand over such a seriously injured person?
Is this still saving people?
Is this adding fuel to the fire?
"There is a conflict between the inmates, and I can't do anything about it."
Fang Yuan smiled and quickly left.
This was the result of helping Cheng Chumo take revenge, almost crippling Cui Xuansu.
But because the opponent is a master and can handle it, he looks half-dead now, but he will be almost fully recovered after a few days of recovery.
"I'm so embarrassed!"
Li Junxian looked at Cui Xuansu with a big head.
If you bring them here in exchange for Cheng Yaojin, won't Cheng Yaojin get beaten up as well?
If this is really the case, how can I explain it to the emperor?
Li Junxian also wants to find Fang Yuan for theory.
But after thinking about it, I realized that the done thing was done.
Theory is no longer useful, the rest can only be decided by oneself.
Finally, Li Junxian took several forbidden troops to the Boling Cui clan.
"Please tell me, I have brought you here. Where is General Cheng?"
Li Junxian said in a deep voice.
Beside them were several people wearing hoods.
I can’t tell who they are, and I don’t know who they are.
"Please wait!"
The guards guarding the door stared at Li Junxian and the others.
I looked at the hooded person again, and finally went back to report.
Not long after, Cheng Yaojin was taken out. The person brought out was not Cui Runyu, but a young man.
"Commander Li, you're finally here."
Cheng Yaojin said excitedly.
Although he was imprisoned for two days, he was not beaten or scolded.
But the dignified Duke is imprisoned, which is a shame when word spreads about it.
The mental torture is the most uncomfortable. Cheng Yaojin feels like he has spent two years.
"General Cheng, let's go!"
After Li Junxian handed the person over to Boling Cui's people, he took Cheng Yaojin away.
"His grandma's, let me scold them!"
Cheng Yaojin didn’t want to leave so soon.
But Li Junxian walked very quickly, as if running away.
The young man who received Cui Xuansu looked at Li Junxian leaving with some surprise.
He had heard of Li Junxian's name, so he accepted it without checking the appearance of Cui Xuansu and others. It was all due to the reputation effect.
But when he took off the hoods of Cui Xuansu and others, he found that they were seriously injured and their mouths were all gagged.
"This is too much!"
The young man suddenly became furious.
Looking in the direction of Li Junxian and others, they had already disappeared.
He immediately sent someone over to help Cui Xuansu and others return to his house, and reported to Cui Runyu.
"Arrogant!"
"Has it been too long since we have shown our strength?"
Cui Runyu was so angry that his beard trembled.
His eyes turned cold, like an offended tiger.
He handed Cheng Yaojin back intact, but the other party sent back the seriously injured tribesman.
