Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1305 Wu Wang Party

After several years, Li Shimin finally returned to the Central Plains.

In Tai'an City, he finally saw his sister Sanniang whom he hadn't seen for a long time. It was a joy for the siblings to meet each other.Li Shimin saw that his sister had changed a lot, and her personality became more gentle. When talking with him, she always talked about her children.San Niang has been with Luo Cheng for almost ten years, and now she has three men and three women under her knees, which can be regarded as complete happiness, and occupies the position of imperial concubine in the harem, which is second only to the empress.

"It's a pity that Xuanba didn't come to Tai'an, or the three of us could meet again."

Li Shimin said, "I heard that Xuan Ba ​​has now changed his civil position, and he has done a good job as Xingyang prefect."

"It's good."

Li Shimin remembered that when he was young, his father was the prefect of Xingyang. At that time, he was suffering from eye diseases, and his father sought medical treatment for him everywhere. He often could only stay in the mansion and listen to books. Hai Si found an eminent monk and healed his eyes.

He reached out to touch his own eye, but only touched the blindfold, and shook his head involuntarily.

In fact, Li Xiuning has seen his brother's vicissitudes since he entered the door. One eye is covered with a black blindfold, and the other hand is replaced with an iron hook. .

"Xuanba used to be weak and sick. Later, you married a saint, and Xuanba followed the saint. It didn't take a year or two for the saint's wonderful formula to recuperate his body. Later, he even became a member of the double-hammer fierce general. Now, it is amazing to be able to become a local state shepherd who can keep the people safe and skillful.”

"You are not bad, I always pay attention to you in the palace. From Lingnan Changliu, to Nantang county magistrate, and now Linyi county magistrate, Erlang, your journey is not easy. In fact, my sister thinks I would like to advise you, don't be too stubborn, let go of some things as soon as they should be let go. As long as you are willing to let go, His Majesty has long forgotten the past."

Li Shimin smiled wryly.

"Some things are so easy to forget."

Xiu Ning told him that the other sisters were doing well, and the two younger sisters who followed Si Ye had also given birth to children, "King Yi Li stopped drinking and beating them, and now both of them have children. Ye treats them very much, and they are already living a good life.”

The husbands and sons-in-law married by the other sisters were also demoted or exiled before, but now they are gradually pardoned and returned to the Central Plains. Some were granted local official positions, and some directly returned to serve in the court.

"But the father, the eldest brother and the third younger brother can no longer survive, and those younger brothers, they are not yet adults."

"Erlang, when did the injustice be repaid? Back then, my father also killed Siye's wife and children."

Li Shimin took out a stack of flying money from his arms.

"Third sister, this is some money I have accumulated. I deposit the money in various banks and banks. With this flying money and my seal, you can withdraw it at any time."

Li Xiuning took it and flipped through it, and was immediately shocked.

"so much?"

"It's only 100 million guan." Li Shimin said lightly, "Don't worry, I still have money."

"Where did you get so much money?"

"I haven't been idle in the past few years. Even if I became the magistrate of Nantang County, it's just a name. In fact, I have been leading a fleet in the South China Sea to trade spices and make a lot of money." Li Shimin did not tell his sister In the South China Sea, he was actually a thief and a businessman.It is true that he has accumulated a lot of money by traveling across the sea for several years, but the biggest fortune he has earned is the capture of Lion City.

He handed over to the emperor the 10,000 gold medals from the ancestral temple of Fan's family, worth [-]+ catties of gold. In addition, the gold, silver, money and silk in the palace and the government were also handed over to the emperor, but he confiscated the noble officials and nobles in the Lion City Qiangqiang Jia's money was a huge sum, and after he divided it with Zhang Peng, the chamber of commerce, and his pirates, he kept a lot of it.

Now Li Shimin's net worth has already exceeded ten million.

This time, I gave 100 million coins to my sister, hoping that my sister and nephews will have a better life.

"With so much money, aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

Li Shimin didn't take it seriously, "I believe the emperor must know the money. He has so many eyes and ears, but he also turned a blind eye to it, because he knows very well that I have handed in more these years, just to kill the lions." I handed over 10,000+ catties of gold to the emperor, and handed over more than 3000 million yuan worth of money and silk to the court, not to mention a lion city and a king of Linyi. I kept it privately with my subordinates After a while, he knows and won’t ask.”

"Sister, you can keep the 100 million. Although you are a noble concubine, there are many concubines in the palace, and there are definitely not many concubines in the palace. You have three sons and three daughters now, so you have to treat yourself and them better. If you have some money in your hand, you can also give more rewards to the servants, and you can also befriend those female officials and eunuchs who are in charge."

"The king of Wu is about to be elected." Li Xiuning told his younger brother.

Among the emperor's sons, the crown prince Jiawen, who was born by the empress, was naturally the most expensive, but if one were to say that the most intelligent one was Wu Wang Zhewei, who was born by the Li family.

The princes are getting older, and the Crown Prince is not as intelligent as King Wu. Now some people in the court are starting to say that King Wu is more like a saint, which is actually a bit bold.

"Sister, I heard that the prince is not very smart?" Li Shimin said.

"Erlang, don't talk nonsense, the prince is very good, filial, loyal and kind."

Li Shimin smiled, "Filial piety, loyalty, kindness, these words from your mouth, sister, made me believe the rumors outside. It seems that our prince is really not very smart."

"The sage likes the prince very much. The sage often said that being an emperor doesn't have to be smart. The most important thing to be an emperor is character. You have to be filial, kind, and humble. Now that the prince is with the sage, he is very favored. The sage takes him with him wherever he goes. Wherever the prince goes, he often personally teaches the prince to learn government affairs, and the prince's tutors he chooses are also famous generals in the court."

The crown prince's position is very strong.

Li Shimin shook his head.

"Although I don't deal with the saint today, I have to say that he is indeed the master of great talent and strategy. Such an emperor is only 30 years old, and he has already achieved a height that many emperors can't reach in their lifetime. He is only 30 years old now. Now that the prince is only ten years old, he can still tolerate the prince's ignorance, but in a few years, will the sage still accept the prince's reality?"

"This huge country, is it really going to be handed over to such an ordinary person in the end?"

"Sister, the king of Wu is so smart and intelligent. If given time, he will surely become a great weapon, and then the prince will become more and more incompetent. Who can guarantee that the emperor will not have other thoughts?"

"Erlang, it's dangerous to think like this." Li Xiuning couldn't hear the voice of his brother's words.She wouldn't even think about this kind of thing, it was too dangerous, once the battle for the reserve started, there would be no way out.

"Sister, you are Zhewei's mother, and I am his biological uncle. If we don't help him, who will help him? Now, we can do what we can first." Li Shimin whispered.

It doesn't mean to rebel, but it's not a big problem to use money to reward people around you, and make friends with powerful eunuchs and women in the palace.

"You will accept the money."

"A saint will know."

"So what if I know, I'll give some money to my sister to spend, it's only right and proper!"
