"Reject my claim and want to take money from me,
There is no door, please remove these calligraphy and paintings quickly..." Changsun Wuji thought for a while and decided to make some preparations.
Soon, several maids entered the study, which few people from second-grade positions could usually enter.
This is where Changsun Wuji studied,
The study, who later ranked first among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, was rarely invited in for tea from the second rank.
Don’t even think about getting below the third level.
When he saw the maid preparing to take out the painting carefully, Changsun Wuji waved his hand, "Forget it, keep the calligraphy and painting, and replace everything else.
Replace it with what is used in the well. In short, the simpler, the better."
The maid and the retainer were in trouble, "Your servant shoots, we don't have such an ordinary thing in our house."
What?
Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that being simple would not be easy.
"The warehouse in the house is still crowded with goods sent by officials, and they haven't even had time to open them.
There is really no need, just ordinary things..." the housekeeper said with a wry smile.
This is a difficult situation. Li Ke may come to collect debts at any time. If you don’t make some preparations, how can you deal with Li Ke?
Li Ke was Li Chengqian's enemy both in public and private affairs, and naturally he was also the enemy of his eldest son Wuji.
Naturally, we cannot support Li Ke in building an academy.
Building an academy may not seem like a big deal, but it involves a lot. If many meritorious figures in the DPRK become students of Wuji Academy,
Then Li Ke will become extremely terrifying in the future, and by then there will be nothing left for Li Chengqian to take over the throne.
The court could not stop Li Ke from building the academy, and the people in the court could not help Li Ke.
Changsun Wuji's eyes turned and he quickly paid attention. He looked at the clothes on his retainers and said, "Do you have any clothes that have been washed and not used yet?"
The retainers didn't understand what he meant, but they nodded subconsciously.
Changsun Wuji said, "Take it out quickly..."
The next thing that surprised the maids and retainers was Changsun Wuji, who asked her wives, concubines, and descendants to change into clothes made of the same quality as the servants.
Except for some rare treasures that have been put away, the rest still maintain their nobility.
As soon as all this was done, the guards at the mansion came to report that Li Ke was visiting alone.
Changsun Wuji personally greeted him and led him to the main hall to sit down.
Li Ke laughed when he saw Changsun Wuji's clothes, "Zhao Guogong, these clothes don't fit well. They don't look like your old man..."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Majesty advocates diligence and thrift, and your ministers have to understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts."
With a smile on his face, Li Ke looked around and saw that the furnishings and utensils in the house all highlighted the nobility.
"Mr. Zhao Guo, why are the clothes on your body so incompatible with the furnishings in this house?
You didn’t know the purpose of my coming to the house in advance, so you put it on specially.” There was something in Li Ke’s words, almost like Changsun Wuji.
"These tables, chairs and daily utensils are all gifts from His Majesty.
I dare not hide it, but should use it to show the grace of the Holy One;
Wearing the clothes of the common people is really a sign of being a minister who understands His Majesty’s difficulties in starting a business.”
"This old guy is pretending to be in front of me, so I won't treat you politely." Li Ke thought to himself and was about to get straight to the point.
"Your Majesty allowed me to build this Wuji Academy,
This is a good thing that will benefit our Tang Dynasty for generations to come.
Many heroes and generals have donated funds for the construction.
Especially the twenty-three who will be ranked in Lingyan Pavilion in the future,
They have given out the most, but they don’t think they can afford to give out even one night pearl.
It is not enough to show their love for Datang.
In the future, Duke Zhao will be designated by His Majesty as the head of the twenty-four Lingyan Pavilions.
Shouldn't I express my gratitude?"
Lingyan Pavilion?
What are twenty-four and twenty-three? Seeing Changsun Wuji’s expression, you can tell that he is confused.
It’s amazing that you understand. This is something that will only happen in the future.
Unless you are now embarking on the path of cultivation, you can predict the future with your fingers.
"King Wu, it's not that the old minister is stingy, but he is really short of money.
My eldest son, Wuji, only knows how to assist Your Majesty, conquer the world immediately, and create this prosperous era of Zhenguan.
I have never thought about how to collect money,
Even if there is, the veteran will use it for the people." Changsun Wuji refused directly.
Changsun Wuji thinks that I just insist that I have no money, and it depends on you, Li Ke, what to do.
