Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 297: Offending Li Chengqian, Li Ke extends an olive branch again
Chapter 297: Offending Li Chengqian, Li Ke extends an olive branch again
"Nonsense!"
"Who told you to shoot?!"
Fang Yuan suddenly shouted angrily at Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi was stunned at first and looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.
Then he seemed to understand something and immediately apologized to Fang Yuan.
"Your Highness, my subordinates are ignorant. Please forgive me. I will turn around and criticize them heavily."
Fang Yuan looked at Li Chengqian and gave a slight salute.
"Shilang Fang really has a group of good guards."
"But as a civil servant, in charge of so many guards, is this an overstep?"
Li Chengqian said with a serious face.
He was almost dizzy with anger just now.
But after Fang Yuan scolded Zhou Shi, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
Now, he just wants to find Fang Yuan's weakness in the current problem.
He is just a civil servant. He is too powerful to be suppressed. It is difficult to suppress him now and it will be even harder to suppress him in the future.
"What His Highness said is absolutely true!"
"But your Highness may not know how much property I have inside and outside Chang'an City."
"My current property has contributed countless taxes to the imperial court and also provided a place for work and rest for many refugees."
"Without these guards, these industries may lose protection, refugees will be displaced, and tax revenue will be greatly reduced."
Fang Yuan first nodded with deep understanding.
Then he sighed and his eyes became sharper and sharper.
The security team is Li Shimin's default team, who dares to have any problems?
Now the security team seems to be responsible for Fang Yuan's safety issues, but the actual announcement is about the security issues of various factories and so on.
Their existence seems unnecessary, but it is precisely because of the presence of these security teams that various factories can operate safely.
The most important thing is that they don’t need the court to provide every penny they have. Why are they talking so much when they are within the court’s sight?
"The imperial court can help you look after these security guards!"
Li Chengqian frowned and said in a deep voice.
He didn't think about it so carefully, and he didn't expect it to be related to the stability of the court.
But it doesn't matter, the imperial court can help solve the problem, as long as the imperial court controls Fang Yuan's security team.
I guess my father and other big shots in the court would be happy to see this, after all, no one wants to see Fang Yuan getting stronger and stronger.
"Your Highness, are you not joking?"
Fang Yuan looked at Li Chengqian with a half-smile but not a smile.
"Do I look like a joker?"
Li Chengqian's frown deepened, and he was very dissatisfied with Fang Yuan's attitude.
"Fang Yuan, pay attention to your attitude, this is the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
Jieli Khan couldn't stand Fang Yuan's arrogance and said in a deep voice.
He didn't mean to help Li Chengqian, but he was full of hatred for Fang Yuan.
If someone told him to jointly deal with Fang Yuan at this time, he would be very happy.
"Has Your Highness ever calculated how much it costs to feed them? I now have three hundred security guards, and each of them will be given fifty copper coins per month."
"If you are injured, ask the best doctor in the city to come and take care of you, and your monthly salary will still be paid; if you die in the line of duty, you will be compensated with twenty years of monthly salary, and your children will take care of them until they grow up!"
"If His Highness the Crown Prince thinks this treatment is acceptable, then I can hand over this security team to the custody of the imperial court."
Fang Yuan glanced at Jieli Khan and deliberately did not answer him.
This situation made Jieli Khan look very ugly and felt like he was being ignored.
But if you want to scold Fang Yuan, there seems to be nothing to scold, let alone retaliate with violence.
"The monthly salary is fifty, Mr. Fang, are you kidding me?"
Li Chengqian didn’t believe it.
The monthly salary of fifty copper coins is already the monthly salary of an ordinary county magistrate.
In the East Palace, many eunuchs, maids and guards do not have this price.
And there are still 300 security guards, which works out to 15,000 copper coins per month.
How could Fang Yuan be willing to pay such a sky-high price?
It's not that Li Chengqian doesn't have the money, it's just that he doesn't believe it.
"His Royal Highness is really good at joking."
"If you don't believe it, just ask a security guard."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
True gold is not afraid of fire, and every security team can make the decision for Fang Yuan.
The main reason why the security team and Zhou Shi and other Mohist Research Institute staff are so loyal is because of money.
Moreover, Fang Yuan also promised all of them that as long as they did not make mistakes based on principles, they would not be fired as long as Fang Yuan was still around.
As for what are principle errors, there are them in the safety manual, there are only seven in total, and there is not much difficulty in following them.
This seems to be a system that will prevent them from betraying Fang Yuan.
"I will submit an application to my father later, and we will discuss the custody matter later."
"Ashina She'er, is Shilang Fang not prepared to give it to me?"
Li Chengqian took a deep look at Fang Yuan and said in a deep voice.
He was in charge of the security team in the name of the imperial court, so he couldn't agree directly.
So back to the topic, we have to go from Fang Yuan to Ashina Society.
"Your Highness, I just said that I have never seen Ashina Sheer."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said calmly.
I'm really speechless. Do you want to humiliate yourself?
"Whether there is or not, I won't know until I see it."
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and pulled out a knife from the waist of a guard beside him.
His bodyguards had just been killed by the security team, but there were still more than ten who were okay.
With that said, Li Chengqian walked towards the tenth floor of the Star Observation Tower.
Zhou Shi immediately raised his hand.
The security teams raised firecrackers and aimed them at Li Chengqian.
Jieli Khan and others frowned and followed Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, be careful of accidental injuries!"
Fang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
Is this because you are sure that you don’t dare to shoot and hurt him?
If you hurt the crown prince, the consequences will be huge indeed, and the court will definitely pursue you.
But it is not impossible to kill everyone around them, including Jieli Khan.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's eyes turned cold and he looked at Jieli Khan and others with murderous intent.
Jieli Khan seemed to notice Fang Yuan's eyes, paused slightly, and looked at Fang Yuan.
Li Chengqian held the knife in his hand tightly and walked firmly towards the tenth floor of the Star Observation Tower.
Just when Fang Yuan was about to give the order, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded in the distance.
"Brother Crown Prince, do you insist on your identity and force your way into the institute?"
It's Li Ke's voice.
He just came alone.
After the sound was heard, the horse arrived quickly.
Li Chengqian stopped because of this, frowned and looked back at him.
"If the prince and brother don't recuperate in the palace, what are they doing here?"
"I heard from my father that the research institute is responsible for studying and managing the world's most important things. Are you here to disturb them?"
Li Ke dismounted and slowly walked towards Li Chengqian with a smile.
Fang Yuan looked at Li Ke's arrival and frowned slightly, wondering why he had arrived?
"I'm just here to ask for someone."
Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.
He didn't know why Li Ke came.
I even doubted whether Fang Yuan called him here.
"Hold someone with a knife?"
"Are you going to rob or want?"
Li Ke chuckled.
He glanced at the entire audience and his eyes shrank slightly.
There are so many people who died, including Eastern Turks and Eastern Palace guards.
Fang Yuan is so bold, he dares to treat the prince like this, they must have fallen out.
Although his relationship with Fang Yuan is not good, it would be best if he and Li Chengqian fall out.
"It has nothing to do with you."
"What do you want?"
Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.
Fang Yuan was also curious about what happened to Li Ke.
"Brother Prince, can you please stop talking with a knife? I'm very scared."
Li Ke was obviously not in a hurry and chuckled.
"Say!"
Li Chengqian shouted in a dark tone.
"Is this how the Crown Prince bullies his younger brother?"
"Okay, I'll see you back at Zongzheng Temple and ask Shilang Fang to testify. The prince is threatening me with a knife!"
Li Ke's face darkened and he said in a deep voice.
"No problem."
Fang Yuan smiled slightly, very cooperative with Li Ke.
Regardless of the reason for Li Ke's arrival, it is currently beneficial to him.
"Are you here to cause trouble?"
"Fang Yuan invited you here, right?"
Li Chengqian is one red and one white, very ugly.
First, Fang Yuan refused to give face and refused to hand over Ashina Sheer.
Now it is Li Ke who is full of yin and yang and uses Zongzheng Temple to suppress him.
But I have to say that Li Chengqian is really afraid of Zongzheng Temple.
Apart from the emperor, Zongzheng Temple is the most terrifying place. There will be no hesitation just because of the status of the prince.
"Why can't I understand what the prince and brother said?"
Li Ke chuckled.
But he really doesn’t understand.
He just received news that Li Chengqian brought people to the Mohist Research Institute.
Prior to this, Jieli Khan also secretly mobilized people to gather at the Mohist Research Institute.
Before these two events, Princess Xiangcheng asked someone to check their physical condition.
The combination of other things made Li Ke feel that things were not simple, so he came.
As soon as they arrived, they saw Li Chengqian and Fang Yuan confronting each other. Li Chengqian seemed to be trying to break into the Moh Academy.
Although I don’t know the reason, as long as it makes Li Chengqian unhappy, I can participate in it.
If it's something unfavorable, that's even better. You have to get involved. It's disgusting and disgusting, Li Chengqian.
"Shilang Fang, I would like to ask again: Can I come in?"
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
With Li Ke here, it is impossible to break in.
Therefore, when he said this, Li Chengqian threw away the knife in his hand.
Li Ke suddenly became interested and looked at Fang Yuan curiously, also curious about what was going on.
"There is no order from the emperor or the emperor, please forgive me, your highness!"
Fang Yuan did not refuse, but he also did not agree.
"Very good!"
"I hope you won't regret it!"
Li Chengqian said in a deep voice with a dark face.
He turned around and left, and the East Palace guards quickly followed him away.
Jieli Khan pondered for a moment and left without saying a word.
"Shilang Fang, why is His Royal Highness here?"
Li Ke asked curiously.
I don’t care at all whether Li Chengqian can hear it.
"Because Ashinasheer is here."
"Ashina Sheer intends to bewitch the members of the Tang royal family."
Fang Yuan didn't care whether Li Chengqian heard it or not and said bluntly.
Li Chengqian walked onto the chariot angrily, and the chariot turned around and left.
"The Eastern Turks want to bewitch the members of the Tang royal family?"
Li Ke's face turned serious instantly.
He glanced at Jieli Khan who was already on his horse.
"It should be, but I'm not sure yet."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
Ashina Sheer only said that Jieli Khan knew about it, but he had no involvement.
Without participation, just his words will not serve the purpose of accusing Jieli Khan.
"The prince is also involved?"
Li Ke's eyes suddenly shrank, revealing a light.
If the prince is so crazy, it must have something to do with him.
If it can be confirmed that the prince is also involved, then the prince's position is most likely to be deposed.
"Not sure."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
I'm really not sure. I didn't ask Ashina Sher.
"Where's Ashina Sheer?"
Li Ke couldn't wait to ask.
Now as long as Ashina Sheer is captured, we will know whether there is any relationship with the prince.
"I don't know."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
"Don't know?"
“Is it true that I don’t know or I don’t know?”
"Shilang Fang, you know that I am at odds with the prince, so you don't need to hide this from me, right?"
Li Ke obviously doesn't believe it.
Looking at Fang Yuan, he looked up and down.
It's something related to Li Chengqian, and Li Ke wants to get involved.
If Li Chengqian could be brought down, everyone would be celebrating.
"I really don't know."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
He also knew that Li Ke and Li Chengqian were at odds.
But even so, I can't tell Li Ke.
Because Fang Yuan still had something to ask Ashina Sheer.
And Fang Yuan doesn’t plan to have too many interactions with Li Ke.
"Fang Yuan, don't worry, I won't tell the prince."
Li Ke thought that Fang Yuan was worried that Li Chengqian would know.
After all, Fang Yuan had just told Li Chengqian that he didn’t know.
Now I tell myself that I am lying to the prince, which is somewhat troublesome.
"I really don't know."
"His Royal Highness, King of Shu, if there is nothing else, I will be busy first."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
With that said, he prepared to return to the tenth floor of the Star Observation Tower.
At this time, Zhou Shi and others had already cleaned up the scene and moved the bodies.
"Okay, you get busy."
"Fang Yuan, I still say the same thing, I will always welcome you to join."
Li Ke sighed and said.
He still didn't believe that Fang Yuan didn't know.
But there is no way, Fang Yuan is unwilling to say.
All I can do is give Fang Yuan another piece of pie, so that things can be done easily when we meet in the future.
"Thank you, His Highness King Shu."
Fang Yuan smiled.
Don’t have an overly deep relationship with Li Chengqian.
The relationship with Li Ke cannot be too deep.
It’s almost enough to communicate and express feelings with Li Zhi when I have the opportunity.
Li Ke looked at Fang Yuan's leaving figure, and after a while he mounted his horse and left.
Not long after, Fang Yuan returned to the tenth floor of the Star Observation Building and entered the elevator with Mo Cailing and others.
"I feel that the King of Shu is more mature and stable than the Prince."
Mo Cailing said softly.
"I think so too."
Juzi nodded with deep understanding.
Today, Prince Li Chengqian seems to be a reckless man.
And Li Ke seemed to suppress Li Chengqian throughout the process.
"There is only a few months difference between the two, and the prince has lost his sense of proportion today."
Fang Yuan said softly.
Looking at Li Chengqian and Li Ke today, it is true that Li Chengqian is not as good as Li Ke.
But Fang Yuan felt that it was Ashina Sheer who knew about Li Chengqian, which made Li Chengqian lose his sense of proportion.
Therefore, after returning to the tenth floor of the Star Observation Tower, Fang Yuan returned to the secret room on the negative floor again.
When they saw Ashina Sheer again, Fang Yuan and others were shocked.
Ashina Sheer's face was as white as paper, his breath was weak, and he had passed out.
"You're not going to die, are you?"
Fang Yuan looked at Wan Ming and the doctor.
The doctor did not speak, but looked at Wan Ming aside.
"Not dead yet, but soon."
"The medicinal powders I developed were not considered to keep the prisoners alive."
