Chapter 479 Li Shimin's Worries
Chapter 475

Wei Hao was chatting with those businessmen, hoping to help Li Chengqian regain some of his reputation. When those businessmen heard this, they still couldn't believe that Li Chengqian didn't know, but since Wei Hao said it, those people naturally agreed.

Wei Hao continued to chat with them, and after a while, a personal guard beside Wei Hao came over, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here, together with the Crown Princess!

After hearing this, Wei Hao was shocked. What is Su Mei doing here at this time? What do you say when she is here?If the matter was not blamed on Su Mei, would Li Chengqian still have to take over the matter? Then the effect of this apology would be greatly reduced.
Although Wei Hao couldn't figure it out, he still asked the merchants to wait in the box while he went downstairs. When he reached the gate of the restaurant, the prince hadn't arrived yet, but the guards had already arrived. This time it was the prince's official trip, so All protection work must be done well,

After a while, a carriage came up on the street, and Wei Hao was waiting at the entrance of the restaurant. When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Wei Hao went over and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty the Crown Prince is respectfully welcome, and Her Majesty the Concubine Crown Prince is here to inspect Juxian Building!"

At this time, Li Chengqian's guards also lifted the curtain, and Li Chengqian got out of the carriage with a smile, and then Su Mei also got out of the carriage.

"His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, please!" Wei Hao stood sideways and said to the two of them.

"Thank you!" Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"Lao Shenyong!" Su Mei also said with a smile, her eyes were still a little red and swollen.

"You two are being polite!" Wei Hao said immediately, clasping his hands together.
Then he led the way in front and led them into the box. Li Chengqian and Su Mei had just arrived in the box, and the businessmen immediately began to bow their hands. They didn't expect that the two of them would really come over, thinking that Wei Hao had lied to them. Now not only the prince is here, but the princess is also here.

"Everyone, today I am here to make amends to you. I have caused you to suffer such a big loss. Is it because I am not aware of it, and I have caused you to be wronged!" Li Chengqian stood there and said to the businessmen.

"Don't dare, dare not!" The businessmen said immediately, clasping their hands.

"Shen Yong, it's time for dinner too, let's serve the food. Later I will toast everyone and make amends for Su Rui, and I will also make amends to you. By the way, I will give you a penny of the money you gave Su Rui before." It’s not bad to send it back, this matter is lonely, please forgive me!” After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he cupped his hands at the merchants again.

"Your Highness, I dare not say that. In this case, I can only say that Su Rui is too young, and there are impulsive things in doing things. We are also impulsive. It will be fine if we don't go to Xia Guogong's mansion!" Sun Lao also handed over at the moment Said to Li Chengqian,
When Wei Hao heard it, he just looked at Su Mei next to him. Because of Su Mei's presence, those people dared not say anything wrong about Su Rui, for fear of being retaliated by Su Mei. How to get down the steps?Wei Hao didn't even know why Li Chengqian brought Su Mei down. Isn't this a hint to outsiders?Su Rui is not something they can take revenge on, and don't even say anything bad.

"Everyone, it's also my fault. I didn't expect my brother to be like this. He failed the empress's trust, everyone's trust, and Shen Yong's path. Here, I also I will accompany everyone, and also my brother, and please forgive me!" Su Mei also said at this moment, but Wei Hao stood there without moving when he heard it.

"Your Highness, don't dare to be that!" The businessmen also replied, the scene was a bit awkward, and the businessmen didn't know what to say to the prince, unlike when Wei Hao was here just now, everyone said whatever came to mind.

"Come on, sit down, sit down, His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Crown Princess are able to come here to make amends in person, and they really know their mistakes. Of course, they were wrong or unintentional. They believed in Su Rui by mistake. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.
But then again, His Royal Highness finally met with everyone. If you have any difficulties, just tell His Highness that His Highness is the current Crown Prince. If he can help you solve some problems, he will definitely solve them. No, don't blame me, come on, sit down, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Princess, please take a seat! "Wei Hao greeted them and said,

Those merchants also smiled and invited Li Chengqian and the others to sit down. After Li Chengqian and the others were ready, the welcome guests also brought snacks and put them on the table for everyone to eat.Wei Hao saw Li Chengqian sitting there, and didn't know what to say, so he continued to say: "Everyone, except for this incident, how is this year overall? But it's better than last year?"

"This is definitely necessary. However, it is difficult to go to Tubo. Tubo has closed the passage and will not let us pass. However, it doesn't matter. We can continue to sell through Tuyuhun, but the profit of Tubo is missing. Already!" A businessman said to Wei Hao, and Wei Hao looked at Li Chengqian next to him, hoping that Li Chengqian would answer.

"Well, the court has been communicating with the Tubo people about the Tubo matter. However, because of some domestic affairs, they may not open the border for the time being, and they may have to wait. Gu has been paying attention to this matter!" Li Chengqian spoke immediately.

"Let me tell you a piece of news. Within two months at the most, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to reach an agreement with Tubo to reopen the border. Just be patient, and not only will you be able to reopen the Tubo border, but at the same time, you will The goods can be sold to Jieri Dynasty and Persia through Tubo, these two markets are huge!" Wei Hao said to them with a smile,

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Wei Hao, feeling shocked, and Wei Hao kicked Li Chengqian from below.

"Oh, yes, but you still have to wait, and I hope you can make more money after you open it!" Li Chengqian reacted and said to those people.

"My lord, do you want to serve food?" At this time, a welcome guest came in and asked Wei Hao. serve.After the dishes were served, the welcoming guests poured wine for them, and it was the maids in the palace who poured wine for Li Chengqian and the others. They brought the wine themselves.

"Come on, everyone, today Gu and Concubine Ai are here to apologize to everyone. It's Gu's fault for causing so much trouble for everyone. I'm really sorry!" Seeing that everyone's wine was full, Li Chengqian immediately stood up holding the wine glass , Su Mei also stood up, Wei Hao and the others also stood up.

"Your Highness, it's too serious!" A businessman said, and the other businessmen also said in agreement. Li Chengqian immediately acted as a respect, and Su Mei did the same, and Wei Hao and the others saw that the two of them drank, and they also began to drink. drink wine.

"Come, come, sit down, eat vegetables, the food here is needless to say, pressure!" Li Chengqian greeted the businessmen and said, those businessmen also nodded with a smile and took a few mouthfuls of food, Wei Hao also Ask those businessmen, how are the people in other places living?
"The south is still poorer, but the north is more chaotic. The south is poor because the traffic is not so good. The further south it is, the worse it is, but the east is okay!"

"Yes, the southeast is not bad, and the life of the people there is better, but they are still not as good as the people in Chang'an. The people with the best life in the Tang Dynasty are the people in Chang'an!".
Those merchants began to talk about the situation in the north and south of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chengqian listened very seriously. When he talked about the wonderful places, Li Chengqian would also toast them.

Now that Li Chengqian knows, Wei Hao deliberately let those businessmen say what they said. Although what they said is not necessarily true, it is also very rare for him. Only by knowing more about the people In order to find the strategy of how to govern the country correctly,

Gradually, those businessmen also recognized Li Chengqian's humble attitude, especially after drinking alcohol, they didn't have arrogance, so they opened up the chatterbox and started talking about everything, but they didn't talk about Su Rui's matter. This meal took about half an hour,

After eating, Wei Hao asked the welcoming guests to remove the bowls and chopsticks, and then served tea. Li Chengqian also told the merchants that he had a list on the money side. I don't know if it is correct. Last night, Li Chengqian sent someone to In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, let Su Ruimo write, and he must explain clearly which merchants were taken and how much money they paid.

Early in the morning, the list was sent to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian read a few people at random and asked him the amount. The amount said by the businessmen matched the list.

"I have done some statistics. On this list, there are a total of more than 15 coins. I have sent people to Jingzhao Mansion for money. In the afternoon, you can go to Jingzhao Mansion for change. This list, I Hand it over to Duke Xia, and Duke Xia will send you money according to this list at that time, if there is any discrepancy, you can tell Duke Xia that the Duke of Xia will register with Gu, and Gu will get it when the time comes!" Li Chengqian sat there, facing those said the businessman.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The businessmen said immediately, clasping their hands.

"Oh, really, Gu, I really don't know. If I knew, I would definitely not let him do this. He did this, but it ruined Gu's reputation. Gu is also very passive, but there is no way. It's brother-in-law. You say Gu Killing him, ah, is not realistic, but if I don’t deal with him alone, I still can’t swallow this breath.” Li Chengqian sat there and said to the businessmen with a wry smile, a bit like telling the truth after drinking, and those The businessman laughed when he heard it.

"Hey, don't talk about you, just say that my father is also worried. My two uncles gave birth to several sons. Hey, they are all prodigals. I broke their legs and feet two years ago.
Thinking about it now, hey, it was a bit too ruthless. Although my uncle didn’t dare to have a problem with me, he definitely did have a problem with my mother. It’s hard for my father to be a man now. In a family, there will inevitably be some troubles. Two ignorant ones, right? "Wei Hao said with a smile, looking at the businessmen.

"That's not it, who isn't? If one comes out, it's a headache!" Those merchants also agreed with wry smiles.

"I have caused trouble for everyone. I know that everyone dare not tell the truth when I come here today. However, I came here to apologize from the bottom of my heart. By the way, come and bring it up. I personally prepared some for you. The presents, the presents were sent by Shen Yong to the East Palace. They are all high-quality tea leaves. They don’t seem to be sold outside. Each person is five catties.

In the future, if the children of the Su family dare to behave like this again, you should report to the officials, go to the officials, and ask them to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and this Palace in the East Palace. Bad things, we are the ones to bear the consequences, please supervise! As Su Mei said, she took the tea leaves from the servants and handed them one by one.
Those merchants were also in fear, but they kept saying words of thanks. Wei Hao nodded at this moment when he heard it. Since Su Mei came, she must make a gesture instead of saying a few words of apology. , in such a case, who would dare to believe it.

"I dare not take it, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" After receiving the gift, the merchants also said hastily cupping their hands.

"Well, you're welcome, I've caused you trouble, there is an ignorant person in the family, hey!" Su Mei said with a wry smile.The other businessmen also hurriedly laughed along,

After Su Mei finished delivering the presents, Wei Hao chatted with those businessmen for a while, then he cupped his hands and said to the businessmen, "Everyone, His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness also drank a lot of wine today. Gather here, everyone will go to Jingzhao Mansion in the afternoon, and I will ask them to give you the money."

Then those businessmen also got up and handed each other, Wei Hao escorted Li Chengqian and Su Mei down, and other businessmen followed behind,

"Shen Yong, when you have free time, go to the East Palace someday, how about we drink tea together?" Before getting into the carriage, Li Chengqian asked Wei Hao,

"Okay, in two days, I'll go to your East Palace in two days!" Wei Hao nodded quickly and said, Li Chengqian and Su Mei left soon, and Wei Hao's alcohol was getting better. Although he didn't drink much, he is now In the afternoon, Wei Hao was going to take a nap, so he was sleepy, so Wei Hao invited those businessmen to go to Jingzhao Mansion together. After arriving at Jingzhao Mansion, Li Tai also came out. Seeing those businessmen, Li Tai also knew what happened.

"My elder brother sent a lot of money today, and it's all in the yard, and I haven't put it in the warehouse, so I'm going to send it to them now?" Li Tai held Wei Hao and asked in a low voice,
"Well, this is for you, you send money to them, don't think about the money, you arrange it, this is the list." Wei Hao took out the list given by Li Chengqian from his arms, and handed it to Li Tai , Li Tai took it over, took a closer look, and clicked his tongue secretly, more than 15 yuan, Su Rui is really brave, dare to get so much money.

"Brother-in-law, this, this, so many?" Li Tai turned his head and looked at Wei Hao who was walking inside Wangwang and asked.

"Well, let's arrange it and treat you well!" Wei Hao said with a wave of his hand, and he returned to his office room, went to the sofa, and prepared to sleep.

Li Tai also had no choice but to pay according to Wei Hao's instructions.

In the palace, Li Shimin also knew about the restaurant. Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with Li Chengqian taking Su Mei. He didn't know why he took Su Mei there.
"I really don't know what she thinks. It's really embarrassing for Shen Yong. If it was someone else, Shen Yong would have run away long ago!" Li Shimin sighed while sitting there.

Eunuch Hong stood there without saying a word, while Li Shimin waved his hand at Eunuch Hong, signaling him to go down.

After Li Chengqian waited for Eunuch Hong to leave, he began to worry about why Li Chengqian favored this Su Mei so much. Usually, their relationship is not so good. Why did they let a woman lead the way? When they chose this princess before I think that Su Mei is generous, well-educated, and also from a scholarly family, so it would be best for her to be the princess.

In addition, Su Mei's father, Su Wei, is not a high-ranking official, and there are no senior members in the family, which prevents his relatives from becoming big. But looking at it now, if Li Chengqian ascends the throne in the future, then Su Mei is likely to interfere in politics, woman Interfering in politics has always been a taboo in the palace.

"This kid, why can't he even control a woman!" Sitting there, Li Shimin thought with emotion, but it's not appropriate to abolish the crown princess. The two of them have only been married for less than three years, and they still gave birth to the eldest son,

In addition, although Su Rui's matter will implicate the Crown Princess, this is a businessman's matter, and it is still a matter of internal money, so it is not that serious. Besides, Li Chengqian needs to speak up to abolish the Crown Princess , if he doesn't speak, then as the father, he has no way to promote this matter. Thinking of this, Li Shimin can only sigh deeply.

After Li Chengqian brought Su Mei to the East Palace, Su Mei also followed behind very honestly.

"Gu Du said that you should not go there today, but you don't believe it. See, those businessmen didn't dare to speak after seeing you. If it wasn't for Shen Yong to smooth things over, what would they do today?" Li Chengqian sat There, said to Su Mei.

"Yes, it is the fault of the concubine, but the concubine also hopes to express an attitude, that is, to let those people know that the disciples of the Su family dare not do anything in the future, and I will never bypass them. I hope those merchants and those courtiers around you dare to tell you the truth!" Su Mei immediately looked up at Li Chengqian and said, Li Chengqian sighed when he heard him say this, and didn't say anything else.

"Remember, you must remember Shen Yong's kindness. Shen Yong really helped a lot today. Outside, Shen Yong never drinks. Today is also because of our affairs, making an exception. Therefore, In the future, when Shen Yong comes over, he should be entertained grandly,

In addition, Shen Yong will inevitably be asked to help your elder brother in the matter. With Shen Yong's help, your elder brother can come out early. If he doesn't help, no one will release him in advance. Moreover, in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Wei Hao said something, you Big Brother's life is going to be much better, Gu's words are useless, but Shen Yong's words are! " Li Chengqian looked at Su Mei and confessed,

When Su Mei heard this, she immediately thought of this and nodded repeatedly.
