Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 469 Li Ke's Fear

Chapter 465

Li Ke returned to the Shu Palace and wanted to meet Lu Dongzan. The main reason was that Lu Dongzan was the prime minister of Tubo. If he could impress him, then his caravan would be able to go straight to Tubo and do unique business.
Now Li Ke has also built a caravan and started to sell those materials to other countries. As long as he can get money, he wants to do it. There is no way. Now he is far behind the prince and Li Tai.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, I need your help this time. In any case, let the Tang army gather at the border of Tuyuhun, so that the Tuyuhun side will not dare to act rashly. The relationship is very good, and Tubo is also protecting the northwestern border of the Tang Dynasty! As the son of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, the King of Shu should be very clear about the pros and cons!" Sitting there, Lu Dongzan said to Li Ke.

"Well, this king dare not agree to this matter. After all, this needs to be argued by the court ministers. Of course, I will try my best to say it!" Li Ke nodded and said to Lu Dongzan.

"The boxes outside just now are gifts for the king?" Li Ke continued to stare at Lu Dongzan and asked.

"This, yes, is a gift for His Highness, a small gift, not a respect!" Lu Dongzan froze for a moment, nodded and said.

"Take the gift back. You know, I am the Chief Prosecutor of the Overwatch Council. If I dare to take your money, how can I manage the affairs of the Overwatch Council?" Li Ke continued.

"It's not something expensive, it's just something small!" Lu Dongzan was a little embarrassed, not knowing what Li Ke meant.

"I heard that your Tubo side has sealed off the border, and Tang's supplies cannot enter?" Li Ke asked as he sat there.

"Yes, we are poor in Tubo, and the people can't afford it!" Lu Dongzan continued to stare at Li Ke, wanting to know what Li Ke was trying to express.

"I have a caravan, and I want to go to Tubo to do some business and earn a little money. I don't know what the Prime Minister can do?" Li Ke looked at Lu Dongzan with a smile and said.

"This, this, Your Highness the King of Shu, you?" Lu Dongzan was shocked, he wanted to open the border by himself.

"I don't care about anything else. I just want my caravan to enter Tubo and continue to sell things. I believe that you Tubo also need such a caravan. It's not good if they are all blocked. If you can open , how about I give you 1 pennies every year?" Li Ke said bluntly.

"This, I'm afraid it's not good. I'm the prime minister of Tubo, and I gave the order. If I let the caravan come in privately, I'm afraid other people will not be convinced!" Lu Dongzan looked at Li Ke in embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Li Ke actually made such a request.

"Really? Then when Tuyuhun's army enters Tubo, our goods can still be sold. I believe that you, Prime Minister, must have a way, right?" Li Ke said with a smile,

Lu Dongzan could tell at this moment that this was a threat, using the conditions he just said to threaten, if he didn't agree, then he didn't know what he would say in front of Li Shimin.

"His Royal Highness, I still need to consider this matter." Lu Dongzan did not dare to refuse, and immediately said that he would consider it.

"This still needs to be considered? You are a prime minister, and you still need to be tested for such a thing?" Li Ke looked at him with a smile and asked.

"Your Highness, if, if I agree, can you guarantee that the army of the Tang Dynasty will gather at the border of Tuyuhun?" Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth at this moment, stared at Li Ke and asked, Li Ke was also stunned for a moment, what did he say about this? I can't guarantee it.

"If you can guarantee it, I can guarantee that your caravan will enter Tubo, and we can continue to cooperate in the future!" Tubo asked, looking at Li Ke.

"I will do my best to facilitate this matter!" Li Ke replied immediately.

"I need a guarantee. What I do my best is not a guarantee after all. If you can guarantee it, your caravan will sell goods in Tubo in the future, and it can bring you a lot of money every year!" Lu Dongzan looked at it with a sneer in his heart. Li Ke said that in his opinion, Li Ke was still too young.

"Then I'll give you an answer in two days!" Li Ke said to Lu Dongzan after thinking about it.

"Okay!" Lu Dongzan nodded, then stood up, and said to Li Ke, "Then I'll take my leave first!"

"Take away the gifts outside!" Li Ke reminded, Lu Dongzan nodded with a smile,

Soon, Lu Dongzan left, taking those gifts with him.

"Your Highness, if His Majesty finds out about this matter, I'm afraid it won't be good!" Yang Xuegang, the advisor next to Li Ke, said to Li Ke after he came out.

"What's wrong, I want to earn their money anyway, and I didn't betray Datang's interests!" Li Ke looked at Yang Xuegang and said.

"But, after all, there is suspicion of collaborating with the enemy!" Another advisor, Dugu Jiayong, also said to Li Ke.

"This is not a matter. In just a few years, the army of Tang Dynasty will go there to deal with them sooner or later. The problem now is how to convince the emperor to gather his troops on Tuyuhun. If we can do it, Then Tubo can bring me hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits every year, with this money, what else can I not do?" Li Ke looked at the two people and said,

When they heard it, they also nodded. If it can be done, of course it would be the best!

"It's probably better to ask Wei Hao to inquire about His Majesty's news about this matter, and if you can convince Wei Hao, then you must be able to convince Your Majesty!" Yang Xuegang thought about it, looked at Li Ke and said.

"Well, it's even more difficult to convince Wei Hao. He doesn't care about such things!" Li Ke said worriedly.

"Your Highness, if, I said, if we share half of Tubo's profits with Wei Hao, do you think Wei Hao will agree?" Dugu Jiayong looked at Li Ke and asked.Li Ke looked at him.

"We all know that Wei Hao doesn't like small money at all, but if it's so much profit in a year, do you think Wei Hao can take a fancy to it? Wei Hao is rich now, but why not have more?

If none of this can impress Wei Hao, then I really can't think of any other way. Besides, Your Highness, if Wei Hao agrees, then Wei Hao will be on our side in the future. In the future, Your Highness, do you want him to It is also convenient to do anything. "Dugu Jiayong looked at Li Ke and said excitedly, if he could give the money to Wei Hao, then Wei Hao and Li Ke would be grasshoppers on the same line.

"Well, it's a good idea. Wei Hao is also worth the price, but will Wei Hao accept it?" Li Ke nodded in satisfaction when he heard it. He had always wanted Wei Hao to assist him, but Wei Hao just refused. Lean over.

"I don't know about this, and I still need your Highness to persuade you!" Dugu Jiayong shook his head and said.

"Well, that's ok, my king, let's go to Wei Hao's mansion tonight and see if we can have a detailed talk with Wei Hao!" Li Ke gritted his teeth and said, he hoped that this time the negotiation would be successful. If Wei Hao still refuses himself, then he really doesn't know what to do.

In the evening, Li Ke went straight to Wei Hao's mansion. Wei Hao had just washed up and was about to go to the study to recover the corpse early, but the servant came to report that the King of Shu had arrived.

"Well, here it is, okay, let him come in, I'll go outside to pick him up!" Wei Hao didn't know what was going on when he heard that he was coming, but he still stood up, ready to greet him, just arrived at the corridor, I saw the king of Shu coming.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Wei Hao greeted him, smiling and cupping his hands.

"You don't have to be so polite, do you?" Li Ke looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"The proper etiquette is still necessary, please!" Wei Hao immediately made a gesture of invitation,
After arriving in the study, Wei Hao asked him to sit down, while he sat on the main seat and made tea.

"I don't know what's important about King Shu's coming here? Or something happened in the Jingzhao Mansion?" Wei Hao sat down and asked Li Ke while making tea. "Nothing, I just came here to talk to you!"

Li Ke waved his hand and said, Wei Hao cursed in his heart: "What are you talking about? He actually came over and said he wanted to chat with himself casually?"

"Well, okay, come, drink tea!" Wei Hao said with a smile on his mouth, and then yawned a big, which also hinted that Li Ke had dozed off, so he should go back early if he had nothing to do.

"Shen Yong, it seems that you are very tired these days!" Li Ke looked at Wei Hao and said with a smile.

"Hey, can you not be tired? By the way, please leave me to you about the Jingzhao Mansion. I'm too busy here. No one has done the bridge repair before. I have to be on the spot." Wei Hao said to Li Ke,

Li Ke nodded and said: "There is no shirkable responsibility, but have you heard that now Lu Dongzan is the prime minister of Tubo, and he is looking for people to visit everywhere, hoping to persuade the father to gather the army in Tuyuhun and help them. You should know the news after completing this move of the capital, right?"

"Ah, I don't know. When the time comes, I heard someone say that Lu Dongzan has come to my house several times and wanted to find me, but I'm not at home!" Wei Hao looked at Li Ke in pretending to be surprised and said, Do not you know?

"That's right, you are busy, that's fine, then you help me analyze and analyze, what will father do?" Li Ke nodded when he heard it, and then looked at Wei Hao with hopeful eyes.

"Me, help you analyze? I don't know where Tubo is, how can I analyze it? Wait, Lu Dongzan is looking for you?" Wei Hao waved his hand first, then suddenly thought of this, and looked at Li Ke and asked .

"Ha, I can't hide it from you, yes, he came to me and made a condition, which made me very tempted. He said, if I can do it, then in the future, Tubo can only go there with my caravan, and the profit in it will be huge." How old, I think you know, Shen Yong, tell me, can this matter be accepted?" Li Ke immediately changed his words and said that he could not say that it was the conditions proposed by himself, but the conditions proposed by Lu Dongzan.

"Is this condition true or false? The profit is quite a lot a year. Exclusive business, the profit is huge, at least two to three million yuan in profit a year. Such a high profit, tsk tsk, Lu Dongzan is going to spend a lot of money. When Wei Hao heard this, he was also a little shocked and said,

If this is the case, it seems that Tubo has spent a lot of money, and it can be seen that the situation in Tubo this winter is indeed not good. Otherwise, Lu Dongzan could not be so anxious.
However, Wei Hao thought, how does Lu Dongzan know that Li Ke has a caravan? Li Ke’s caravan has just been established not long ago. , I should go to the prince anyway, the prince has more influence on His Majesty, wouldn't it be better to persuade the prince?

"Well, I am very tempted by his proposal, but I don't know if I can convince my father, so I came here to ask your idea!" Li Ke immediately looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"I really have no idea here!" Wei Hao shook his head with a wry smile and said, now that he has not figured out his situation, how can he agree?

"Shen Yong, don't be like this, you see, this time we two will share equally, each half of the profit, as long as you nod your head, you can go and tell the father that this half of the profit will be yours!

Of course, Shenyong, I also know that you don't need this little money, but if we don't do it, I believe someone will do it, and we still won't get anything by then, and the father may not agree to Lu Dongzan For so many days, Father has not seen Lu Dongzan, I think Father is also hesitating! When Li Ke heard what Wei Hao said, he became anxious and immediately persuaded Wei Hao to get up.

"Such a small amount of money, do you care about it?" Wei Hao was anxious when he saw Li Ke, and immediately looked at Li Ke with a smile.

"You, hey, who can compare with you, not to mention comparing with you, compared with the prince, compared with Qingque, I am the poorest one, I have no property, and now I spend all my money to build a caravan , If you can open the door to Tubo, you will make a lot of money!" Li Ke was depressed when he heard Wei Hao's words, but there was nothing wrong with Wei Hao's words, Wei Hao was not short of money at all.

"Ha!" Wei Hao still looked at Li Ke with a smile.

"Will it work, say something!" Li Ke still looked at Wei Hao anxiously.

"This matter, you still need to talk to the father." Wei Hao reminded Li Ke that the plan to deal with Tubo must be implemented now. Of course, it is also necessary to deal with Tubo, let Tubo be anxious , the latter thing is easy to talk about.

"Speak to Father?" Li Ke looked at Wei Hao suspiciously.

"Go and talk to the father, the father will agree, of course, the father will also tell you something, if you reach an agreement with Tubo privately, once it is known by the time, it will be troublesome, now go and talk Father said, Father will tell you what to do?" Wei Hao looked at Li Ke and said,

Li Ke looked at Wei Hao suspiciously, what does this mean?The emperor can still agree to such a thing.

"Go! I don't want to earn this kind of money, and I'm not short of it. You tell Father, and you'll understand everything by then!" Wei Hao reminded Li Ke with a smile,

Li Ke couldn't believe it, he didn't dare to tell Li Shimin about such a thing.

"Don't believe me?" Wei Hao asked Li Ke with a smile.

"No, no, this, this is too scary, is it really feasible?" Li Ke immediately waved his hand, then looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"It's feasible. For Tubo, my father has a plan. Go ahead. Maybe your business is also part of the plan. However, it is impossible for you to monopolize the money you earn. You have to take it from the internal money." A big part!" Wei Hao reminded Li Ke,

Li Ke heard it, and immediately sat there thinking, then looked up at Wei Hao: "Where is His Royal Highness?"

"I don't know!" Wei Hao immediately shook his head and said,
Seeing him like this, Li Ke immediately understood what was going on. No wonder, no wonder Li Chengqian's caravan has grown so big now. Behind the dare is the royal family, with missions.

"Okay, Shen Yong, thank you very much for today!" Li Ke immediately said to Wei Hao, and Wei Hao waved his hands.

After a while, Li Ke left.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Ke went to the palace. He was still a little nervous. After all, it was a bit scary to tell Li Shimin about such a thing. If Wei Hao tricked him, he would be out of luck.

But thinking about it, Wei Hao has never cheated anyone. If Changsun Wuji said it, then he really had to think about it, and for Wei Hao, he still trusted Wei Hao a little more.

After entering the Ganlu Palace, I said a few words to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin backed away,
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Chengqian came out of Ganlu Hall very excitedly. He didn't expect that this matter would really come true. It's just that his caravan was about to carry a mission. The people in the caravan need to train them. , but I admire Wei Hao even more in my heart, and I am even more in awe of Wei Hao,

Wei Hao was sitting at home, how did he know about his father's plan? Could it be that this plan was originally provided by Wei Hao? Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help feeling cold behind his back, if he didn't go last night Looking for Wei Hao, I rashly agreed, what would be the consequences?

In addition, how many things does Wei Hao have that he doesn't know?Why did the emperor trust him so much?Many questions appeared in my mind. My first thought was, don’t offend Wei Hao if you offend anyone. If you offend him, let alone the prince, you don’t know if you can keep the title of prince.

Li Shimin trusted Wei Hao too much. This kind of trust surpassed the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law, and also surpassed the relationship between father and son.

After Li Ke arrived at the Jingzhao Mansion, he found that there was nothing serious here, so he went to the Bahe side, and saw Shen Yong with a bamboo hat under the sun, and he admired him in his heart, a prince with power and money , has status, but for things like bridge repairs, it is better to come to the front in person.

"Oh, Shenyong, Shenyong!" Standing on the river bank, Li Ke shouted to Wei Hao below,
Wei Hao looked up and found that it was Li Ke, so he explained a few words to those workers, and climbed the embankment from the river bed.

"What's the matter?" After Wei Hao came up, he took over the sour plum soup from the guards behind him. Wei Hao told his mother to make this sour plum soup yesterday. Unexpectedly, it was made early in the morning with ice cubes in it!

"You don't have to work hard, do you? In such a hot day, you go down there yourself? Is it necessary?" Li Ke persuaded Wei Hao.
