Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

After saying that, he went straight into the hall.

As soon as he entered the Zichen Hall, Shen Lian found that there was a person standing in the hall. This person was none other than Prime Minister Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling also had a look of curiosity on his face when he saw Shen Lian arriving. However, since Li Shimin was here, he couldn't speak. He could only meet Qin Wenyuan's eyes and nod.

After Shen Lian responded to Fang Xuanling, he walked to the front of the palace and bowed like Li Shimin: "I have met your Majesty."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Let's be flat, there is no need to be polite."

When Shen Lian just straightened up, Li Shimin couldn't help but asked curiously: "Shen Lian, shouldn't you be presiding over the Council of Nations at the post station at this time? Why are you here to see me?"

Fang Xuanling also had the same question.

Wanbang's coming to Datang can be said to be the biggest event in Datang at present.

Although Shen Lian was the only one responsible for this matter, and Li Shimin strictly prohibited others from intervening, Fang Xuanling and others could not be unconcerned and were all watching this matter behind the scenes.

So they all knew that under normal circumstances, Shen Lian should be scheming with those envoys at this time.

Therefore, why did Shen Lian come to the palace at this time?

Did something special happen?
The two curious babies stared wide-eyed, looking at Qin Wenyuan blankly and curiously.

As for Shen Lian, at this moment, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He looked at Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling. At this moment, the characteristics of youth were truly revealed.

Some crazy.

Some proud.

Before envoys from other countries, Shen Lian represents the Tang Dynasty and must be calm.

In front of Abao and other friends, he is the pillar of support for everyone and needs to be calm and collected.

Only in front of Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling and other people of the previous generation, Shen Lian could shed the burdens he had to bear and show his youthful appearance.

He raised his chin slightly, a little proudly, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here to receive the reward."

"What?" Li Shimin froze for a moment.

Fang Xuanling was also taken aback.

But the next moment, Li Shimin seemed to think of something, and suddenly, his eyes widened.

A pair of piercing eyes instantly penetrated the air and reached Shen Lian.

He breathed quickly.

He held his hands directly and said with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Shen Lian, what do you mean, do you mean..."

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin's excited look that almost lost his composure, and he was completely dumbfounded.

I don't think Li Shimin has been a king for all these years, but he has never lost his composure like this.

Even if he was in a life-and-death crisis before, Li Shimin was still so calm.

Therefore, Li Shimin's gaffe immediately made Fang Xuanling realize that Shen Lian might have done something extremely terrifying.

And this is what Li Shimin expected!
It was something Li Shimin dreamed of.

Otherwise, as an emperor, Li Shimin had never experienced anything, had never seen any good things, so it would be impossible for Li Shimin to lose his composure like this.

And combined with Shen Lian, what he did during this period.

And what Shen Lian said to him before...
Suddenly, Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly widened, and the pupils in his eyes trembled slightly. He turned to look at Shen Lian in an instant.

"Shen Lian, Shen Lian, could it be that you..."

The two people with the highest power and status in the dynasty were so excited that they couldn't control themselves at this moment.

Their gazes all fell on the boy at the same time.

And Shen Lian, facing their excited and excited eyes, nodded slightly, smiled, and said: "I did not disappoint everyone, the alliance of various countries was established, and the leader of the alliance is Datang!"

"So, this time the nations came to invade, and it finally became the kingdom of all nations!"

"And Your Majesty, from now on... they will address Your Majesty as Heavenly Khan!"

"The unprecedented prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has arrived!"

With a bang, it sounded like thunder resounding in my ears.

Both Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling's minds went blank for a moment.

But the next moment, Li Shimin stood up suddenly, his eyes were red and his hands were shaking.

It's exciting.

Even more excited!
Thinking of him, Li Shimin's greatest wish in this life is to become an emperor through the ages, and he wants to leave a stalwart image in the history books that is enough to be remembered and respected by future generations.

But how difficult this wish is, he is too clear.

Over the years, he has worked hard, but manpower is exhausted after all.

Things in the world are often difficult to follow his ideas.

Between internal and external troubles, he has exhausted his power to maintain the status quo of Datang.

He was about to give up on this impossible wish.

But who would have known that at this very moment, Shen Lian would actually tell him that Datang had become the leader of the Alliance of All Nations, and he had become the Khan of Heaven.

The prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, an unprecedented prosperous age has arrived.

His wish came true.

This this…….
Li Shimin's eyes were red, and he looked at the young man in front of him. His heart was really complicated. He didn't know what to say, how to express his excitement and... gratitude!

Yes, just grateful!

Li Shimin is really grateful to Qin Wenyuan now.

Because it was Shen Lian who made his dream come true.

A dream that I have given up on!

And Fang Xuanling is not much better than Li Shimin at the moment.

At this time, after being extremely shocked and surprised, he suddenly remembered what happened when he and Shen Lian were drinking in a restaurant a few days ago.

At that time, when the people were discussing the coming of all nations to the court, Fang Xuanling also praised Shen Lian, saying that Shen Lian controlled public opinion well.

And what did Shen Lian tell him at that time?

Correct!
Shen Lian said: "This is not public opinion, I will make it a reality!"

In the end, he really did it!

Fang Xuanling still remembered Shen Lian's look when he said these words.

The young man stands in front of the window, the light shines on the young man's body, the young man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes survey the scenery of Chang'an, and the majestic Emperor of the Tang Dynasty comes into the young man's eyes.

The teenagers at that time were flamboyant, confident, and even arrogant!
At that time, Shen Lian told Fang Xuanling that he would make it a reality for all nations to come to court!

Not just public opinion to convince the populace.

But... the real fact!
It's just that Fang Xuanling knew how difficult it was. After all, almost all countries came to Datang with obvious malice.

Even though Shen Lian is extremely intelligent and has talents that span the universe, what can he do under the overwhelming momentum?

Can it really go against the sky?

Even Fang Xuanling, at that time, was full of pessimism.

But who would have thought, who would have thought... Shen Lian would actually be so incredible!
The rolling momentum, in Shen Lian's hands, actually turned a corner, and finally... Shen Lian took advantage of the momentum, took control of the rolling momentum, and swept everyone else into the momentum.

Shen Lian, did it.

His promise, as always, will be fulfilled!The two people with the highest status in the world looked at Shen Lian with extremely complicated expressions at this time.

Shock, shock, joy, relief, admiration, even gratitude...
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said: "Shen Lian, you...how can I thank you! You have accomplished such an unparalleled feat for the Tang Dynasty and for me! I...I really I don’t know how to thank you.”

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Shen Lian's current imperial position and actual power and official position are not low.

After all, the people in the Chu Palace all hold very good positions, and some of them are even like me.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sighed.

Look at Shen Lian, and then think about yourself...
What have you done in your life?

It took him decades to achieve what he is today.

As for Shen Lian, it's only been half a year!

Up to now, even His Majesty doesn't know how to reward him.

This... there is really no comparison between people.

Fang Xuanling felt depressed for the first time.

Shen Lian didn't know that Fang Xuanling was already depressed because of comparison with himself.

He just raised his eyes to look at Li Shimin, smiled lightly, and said: "Your Majesty trusts me and entrusts me with the heavy burden. Your Majesty treats me as a national scholar, and I should repay you as a national scholar."

"Not to mention, the Tang Dynasty is my home country. It is my honor to fight for the interests and gain glory for my home country. Therefore... Your Majesty does not need to think too much. I am willing to seek benefits for my home country and enjoy it!"

There is a big gap between Shen Lian and some officials of this era.

Perhaps it is because he came from a later life, and he attaches great importance to the concept of family and country.

Even though this home country is not the home country of future generations.

But the land is still that land!
The hardworking and simple people are still those people.

Therefore, Shen Lian's heart for the family and the people is still the same.

For him, home and country are no longer the place where he is, but a kind of spirit, a kind of sustenance.

Something that runs through your bones.

Some people bully my country, I should fight bravely!

This matter has nothing to do with interests.

This matter is the instinct that every son and daughter of a country should have!

Therefore, even if Li Shimin didn't reward him, Qin Wenyuan didn't care.

What he did this time was not Li Shimin.

But Datang, this piece of land.

It is national glory and glory.

Shen Lian is open-minded and has nothing to ask for.

And his magnanimity made Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling even more moved.

Over the years, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling have seen how many people were beaten to death because of their interests.

Seeing how many people have no interests, even if you can do things at your fingertips, you will turn a blind eye.

Comparing Shen Lian with them, he was really completely different from those people at once.

Without comparison, one would not know how good Shen Lian is.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Xuanling, do you think there is any problem if I give Shen Lian more rewards?"

Fang Xuanling looked at the straight-backed handsome young man in front of her, was silent for a while, and then said: "With Shen Lian's merits, Shen Lian knows moral character, I... have no objection!"

As soon as he said this, the memory in Fang Xuanling's mind kept drifting away, and his thoughts were drawn back to the first time he met Shen Lian.

At that time, because of the Chu Palace, Fang Xuanling respected Shen Lian, who came from the Chu Palace, and after that, he did indeed do it, and achieved the respect that was suitable for him!

He concluded a case in front of himself. After everyone framed the man, only Shen Lian saw that the man was not drunk. Then he tried his best to overcome everyone's opinions and presented many evidences. Step by step, Step by step, prove that person's innocence.

He is so awesome, both in terms of moral character and character, Fang Xuanling thinks he is very awesome.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the Chu Palace.

Prince Chu's Mansion, this magical mansion, has many unknown things.

When Fang Xuanling thought of this, her awe and respect for Prince Chu's Mansion deepened completely.

This magical mansion, he...he didn't know how to describe it.

at this moment?

Neither of them said what reward they would give Shen Lian.

But at this moment, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, a pair of monarchs and ministers who cooperated extremely tacitly, had already made a decision.

Fang Xuanling knew what reward Li Shimin wanted to give Shen Lian.

This will create an unprecedented precedent in Datang!
But at the same time, the difficulty is also great.

After all, this is a major event in breaking regulations!

But, Li Shimin has to do it!
At this moment, Fang Xuanling also supports Li Shimin in doing so!
Even if there are thousands of obstacles, the two will work together to break through!
Shen Lian didn't know what riddle Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were playing, but he was very smart and knew that the two of them must have made some secret decision.

And this matter must be difficult.

"Your Majesty, I have already said that I don't want any reward, so Your Majesty..."

"Shen Lian!"

Before Qin Wenyuan finished speaking, Li Shimin directly interrupted Shen Lian and said, "If you don't want rewards, that's because you are indifferent to fame and wealth and don't care about benefits!"

"But you don't want it, but I can't not reward you for your merits. No one knows better than me how much you have paid."

"So, if I don't reward you, don't say whether it will chill the hearts of the people in the world, I alone will not be able to pass this test of mine!"

"Therefore, just wait with peace of mind! I just want to tell you, do whatever you want to do, don't worry about the rear, let alone whether it is worth doing these things... I will tell you now, it's all It’s worth it! Datang is worthy of you doing this, and I am worthy of you doing this!”

"I will never let you down!"

This is Li Shimin's promise!

It is also the only promise that Li Shimin will never break in his life!
He will never let down Shen Lian, the young man who has turned the tide several times.

Live up to this young man who always has a sincere heart and has blazed a bright road for the Tang Dynasty in the ferocious world!

Seeing Li Shimin's determined expression, Shen Lian had already made up his mind to do something big.

He really didn't know what Li Shimin wanted to do.

I don't know what Li Shimin wants to talk about rewarding himself. He needs a dignified emperor to show such an expression.

But he also knew that once Li Shimin made a decision, it would not be easy to change it.

So... Shen Lian could only let it go.

He couldn't influence the emperor's thoughts, let alone... The emperor still wanted to reward him, so he had no reason to refuse.

The reason why Shen Lian didn't take the initiative to ask for a reward was because of the patriotism in his heart, but it didn't mean that when the reward really came, he would refuse it.

After Li Shimin made his decision, he no longer worried about rewards. He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Shen Lian, what should we do next?"

"The Alliance of Nations was established, Datang became the leader of the alliance, and then?"
