Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 346 Emperor Bitterness, Gap

"I also don't have much money in private."

Facing these three gazes, Li Shimin couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.

You must know that as an emperor, Li Shimin generally would not expose his shortcomings, let alone admit defeat as a courtier.

However, this time, Li Shimin did not hide anything at all, but admitted that he could not spend so much money.

Because according to Changsun Wuji and others, at least hundreds of thousands of money will be spent, not to mention post-war rewards and the like.

These are also a large amount of money, and it is naturally impossible for Li Shimin to spend all the money in his hands.

At this time, Changsun Wuji and the other three also showed a trace of astonishment on their faces, as if they did not expect this emperor to answer like this.

But since he answered in this way, it also proves one thing, that is, this His Majesty may not be able to spend so much money.

"Your Majesty, if there is no money, then sending troops to the grassland will be greatly reduced."

Fang Xuanling said with a bitter face, because once the winter is over, there will be no enough warm things, and the heavy snow will be the enemy of Datang.

Then at that time, I don't know what changes will happen, because no one can guarantee that this war will end before the cold winter.

And according to the inference, this is also impossible, because the Turks still have considerable strength.

Even now that the Eastern Turks are falling apart, Xieli is still a person not to be underestimated.

What Fang Xuanling could think of, the three people present could also think of, but they all looked very worried.

Obviously bothered by this, and if they had been given more time, it wouldn't have been the case at all.

"First estimate how much money you need."

In the end, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, if this opportunity was missed, even this emperor would be very unwilling.

Not to mention that Xieli was the emperor's deepest hatred, and he would never let it go in such a situation.

And once and for all, beat Xieli to death once, instead of waiting for revenge in the future.

Especially after hearing Yafu's plan before, Li Shimin didn't want to drag Jieli for so long.

"Ok!"

Seeing that His Majesty expressed his opinion, Changsun Wuji and the other three could only trust this His Majesty now.

Because this emperor was the only one who could raise a lot of money in a short period of time, the three of them also did not hesitate to report the estimated results as soon as possible.

Now time is very precious, and they cannot be wasted. After all, the army has already set out, and they can't let it come back.

It is impossible for Li Shimin to do such a stupid thing if the order is changed day by day.

Although the night fell, it actually prevented many people from falling asleep, including Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin and others.

Before dawn, Li Shimin had already woken up, his eyes were faintly red, it was obvious that his work was not peaceful last night.

"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson and others have estimated the money overnight."

Not long after waking up, the eunuch Wang De at the side had already started to report the matter, and he didn't dare to hesitate.

Because His Majesty had told him long ago that he would be notified as soon as there was news about the estimate, and Wang De would report immediately after the emperor woke up.

There were also sheets of statistics papers full of quantities, and Li Shimin also did not hesitate to read them immediately.

"what?"

However, the emperor couldn't help but whispered, with a hint of surprise in his words, and his complexion was also not good.

The reason is that the final count of money has reached 50 guan, which has far exceeded Li Shimin's budget.

If it is 20 million words, then Li Shimin can still get it out by gritting his teeth.

But this is 50 guan, not a small amount, and it may not be enough to sell him.

But the list above the list, even Li Shimin didn't think there was anything that could be deleted.

For example, weapons and armor, if you know that the new army has eliminated these things before, they can basically only be used for training.

Now that it is time to go to the battlefield, do you need to replace it with a new one? Naturally, it is necessary. Naturally, it is impossible to save these things.

"Where did I get so much money!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, with a trace of unwillingness in his words.

Wang De on the side also lowered his head, not daring to look directly at His Majesty, because he is in a bad mood right now.

Of course, Wang De, who has been following Li Shimin, knows why, and why His Majesty is like this, but he is just a little eunuch, there is nothing he can do.

But at this moment, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Wang De's mind. He had no choice, but there was one person who might have a way.

"Your Majesty, can I ask An Xuangong?"

Wang De cautiously sounded out, in his eyes, An Xuangong is a unparalleled wise man, it seems that any problem is not a problem in the hands of An Xuangong.

"Ya father?"

As soon as Wang De's words fell, Li Shimin's eyes froze and he whispered softly, but finally nodded.

You must know that if you are talking about where there is money, then you have to look at a Yafu, because often what seems difficult to him is a simple matter in the hands of Yafu.

"Prepare the carriage immediately, I'm going out of the palace!"

After thinking of this, Li Shimin said without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, it's not yet dawn, I wonder if Duke Anxuan will get up."

It's just that Wang De said in embarrassment, because it's still dark, and His Majesty is a little impatient.

"It's okay, I'll wait for Yafu to get up."

Li Shimin continued to speak, with a hint of anxiety in his words, apparently impatient to wait a little longer.

"Tread, step!"

Because it was still dark, the gates of Chang'an City had not yet been opened, so the sound of horseshoes was very loud in the quiet streets of Chang'an.

However, after arriving at the Shu Mansion, Li Shimin received bad news, that is, his sub-father was not in the city.

"Your Majesty, Duke Anxuan seems to be busy recently."

Li Junxian said with embarrassment on his face, after all, Baiqi did not always grasp the traces of Duke Anxuan.

Not to mention that the strength of the Hundred Riders has also been reduced recently because of covering the escort of some supplies.

"Get out of town and go to the farm!"

However, Li Shimin didn't say much, and said with a blank expression.

To be honest, the gate of Chang'an City did not open so quickly, but Li Shimin was an exception.

Even if he didn't show up, the gate of Chang'an City opened soon after Li Junxian's oral order. Of course, he didn't notice this scene, and the gate of the city opened earlier today.
