Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 17
But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

It sounds like a eunuch.

Li Gan didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but the man kept yelling outside and knocked on the door a few times.

He was so annoyed that he raised his head and frowned at the door: "What's the matter?"

Wu Meiniang couldn't help but opened her eyes and looked towards the door.

"His Majesty……"

The trembling voice of the little eunuch came from outside the door: "The Yue envoy Fan Li has arrived at the General Department and asked to see His Majesty."

"not see!"

Li Gan replied angrily.

Who wants to see the emperor to come late at night?
Isn't it all right?

He turned his head and embraced Wu Meiniang again, but this time she held her chest with her jade hand: "Your Majesty..."

"what happened?"

Li Gan frowned slightly, and looked at the beauty in his arms in puzzlement.

Wu Meiniang bit her red lips lightly: "Your Majesty, you should go and see..."

She herself didn't know how tempting this action of biting her red lips was under the candlelight.

Li Qian was stimulated, and immediately leaned forward and kissed it, but Wu Meiniang dodged a little, so that Li Gan only touched the corner of his lips.

"His Majesty……"

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Gan with bright eyes: "Although Your Majesty has made a plan to borrow troops today, it will still require the cooperation of the Yue Kingdom. Your Majesty, why don't you go and see him at this time?"

Li Gan took a few breaths and calmed down a little, but he still held Wu Meiniang, unwilling to let go.

But Wu Meiniang looked at Li Gan, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is here all the time. How much time can I delay? The night is long..."

Li Qian looked at the beauty's moist eyes, straightened up from the couch, frowned, and just looked at Wu Meiniang who was close at hand.

Women who are dissatisfied with desire are scary, but men who are dissatisfied with desire are even more terrifying.

With an apology on her face, Wu Meiniang stood up and gently arranged Li Gan's messy clothes.

"That's all, let's go see him." Li Gan sighed, but finally agreed.

What Wu Meiniang said does have some truth, the night is long, don't rush this moment.

but……

The Duke of Zhou vomits, feeds and shakes his hair, and Prime Minister Cao walks upside down to meet him.Then what should I call Fan Li when I see him?
Li Qian got up and walked outside the door, only to find that the little eunuch was still kneeling here tremblingly.

Li Qian snorted lightly: "Let's go."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The little eunuch led the way, and Li Gan walked all the way to the entrance of the Hall of Eternal Life.

Wei Zhongxian had already been waiting outside the hall, pacing back and forth, and looked up at the entrance of the hall from time to time.

Disturbing him at night will undoubtedly make His Majesty unhappy, and Wei Zhongxian is determined not to do this.

So he sent his young eunuch to go there, while he waited outside the palace for the result.

tata tao~
A muffled sound of footsteps came from the hall.

Wei Zhongxian shivered, and hurriedly greeted him at the entrance of the hall: "My maidservant has seen His Majesty."

"Walk."

Li Gan waved his hand: "Go to Ziwei Hall, and meet that Yueshi."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Zhongxian called the eunuchs under the steps to lift their shoulders, and Li Gan walked forward sitting and driving.

The cool wind was blowing on his face. After blowing for a while, Li Qian also gradually calmed down and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The more you make Fan Li...Fan Li..."

Fan Li is not a simple person, he was a household name in his previous life.

He helped restore the country of Yue and was honored as Prime Minister and General, but when he had this achievement, he retreated bravely and started to do business.

Later, he became the richest man in the world three times, and lost his wealth three times.

Therefore, Fan Li is also honored as the God of Wealth, the Sage of Shang, and the Patriarch of Shang by later generations, and he is also worthy of enjoying the Wu Temple.

Such a legendary figure should indeed be seen.

Not to mention anything else, this method of doing business really made Li Gan a little jealous.

If you have such a person under your command, do you still need to worry about money? ?

Don't look at Li Gan as the emperor, but the emperor can't just spend money casually.

The money in the treasury belongs to the imperial court, so it doesn't matter how Li Gan spends it.

The emperor's own small treasury is called inner money, but Li Gan's inner money is only 40,000 taels of silver now, which is too little for an emperor.

Not to mention anything else, if one of the palaces caught fire, Li Gan wouldn't even be able to repair it!

What's more, the internal money is still controlled by others, and what Li Gan said doesn't count.

"Ah~ I'm short of money..."

Li Gan sighed quietly, and the sigh quickly dissipated in the night wind.

Many palaces in the palace are brightly lit, it is not very late, and most of the palace people are eating.

Driving leisurely, the lanterns are on and off, and Ziwei Hall is in sight.

The Daqian emperors of all dynasties went to court in Qianyang Hall, handled government affairs and received ministers in Ziwei Hall.

Li Qian asked the other eunuchs to stay outside, and even drove out the two living eunuchs, leaving only Wei Zhongxian to follow.

He strode into the main hall of Ziwei Hall, where the lights were already on, and a middle-aged man in a black skirt and deep clothes was already waiting here.

"My subject, Fan Li, has seen His Majesty! Please forgive me for asking to see you rashly." Fan Li knelt down and bowed to Li Gan.

He didn't want to risk being rejected by the emperor to come here at night, but he had to.

If they come during the day, those civil servants who are still on duty will definitely obstruct it.

But if you come at night, you only need to send money to the eunuchs on duty at the Palace Gate General Administration Department, and they will report it.

"Haha~ It's okay."

Li Gan chuckled a few times, and waved his hand to signal him to get up: "I've heard of Mr. Fan's name for a long time, just sit down and talk."

Now that the business has been delayed, Li Gan will not put on a bad face to deal with Fan Li, that would be too stupid.

Li Qian decided to show his sincerity to this kind of God of Wealth-level talent.

In front of him, Fan Li straightened up somewhat unexpectedly.

Asking for a meeting in the middle of the night is a disgusting thing, but I didn't expect this notorious emperor to treat me like this?

He was ready to be scolded.

"Fan Gong, please sit down!"

Li Gan smoothly led Fan Li to the desk beside him.

Fan Li came back to his senses, feeling a little weird, and hurriedly said: "The minister is no more than an envoy, how dare he be called Fan Gong?"

"The minister's name is Shaobo, and His Majesty can call the minister's name."

Li Qian smiled and shook his head.

Fan Li was extremely perplexed, but at the same time felt somewhat sincere and apprehensive.

He didn't have much reputation in the Yue country, but because of a few suggestions, he was reused by the king of Yue and sent to the Daqian court to ask for help.

Even King Goujian of Yue never called him Duke Fan.

Li Gan made a cup of tea, Wei Zhongxian wanted to come over to help, but he stopped him with his eyes.

The amber-colored clear tea flowed down the spout, stirring up vortices in the cup, and rising white steam.

The hall fell into silence for a moment.

Fan Li had originally prepared a lot of speeches, but at this moment he opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Gan personally delivered the cup of tea to Fan Li, with a slight smile on his face, he could see what Fan Li was thinking: "Actually, I have already guessed the purpose of Fan Gong's visit tonight, but it still needs more work." The country cooperates."

Ever since Fan Li saw Li Qian, he was surprised and puzzled.

"His Majesty?"

He couldn't help it anymore, and said: "Please tell your Majesty, how should the Yue Kingdom cooperate?"

Li Gan leaned back, with an inscrutable smile on his face, and said slowly:

"At the court meeting tomorrow, I may summon you. When you come, you must express your attitude. The Yue Kingdom is willing to second the soldiers of the court and be responsible for the food and payment for this battle."

"His Majesty?"

Fan Li stood up abruptly, his face full of shock: "Your Majesty, dare to speak up!"
