If I let you stay in Lingnan, how could you become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Chapter 26 Mei Niang! For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, you should become a nun
The ministers who had been very enthusiastic just now suddenly fell silent.

Ten thousand taels of silver for a mirror, what a joke!
More than expensive,

It's like Gui'er opening the door for his mother, it's so expensive!

Li Shimin glanced at his ministers:
"Lord Du, didn't you want one just now?"

"Fang Aiqing, you just shouted that you wanted two yuan!"

"Li Aiqing, you have a big family and great wealth, so I will just give you three pieces..."

When Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others heard Li Shimin's words, their hearts sank instantly.

It’s all my fault that I was so busy showing off that I shouted too loudly.

This is ten thousand taels of silver at once.

I bought a mirror like this...

My goodness, after all the purchase, even the important officials of the court would not have much surplus food left at home!

Your Majesty, you are being too forceful!

Soon, Li Shimin distributed most of the 250 mirrors and asked Zhang Ananda to take note of them.

Finally, he clapped his hands in satisfaction, glanced at the ministers below who were frowning, and said with a smile:

"I have returned from Lingnan and brought you all such wonderful gifts. Why are you not happy?"

All the ministers seemed to have eaten the Pearl Jade Soup with Zhu Yuanzhang. Even though they regretted it to the core, they could only put on a forced smile.

Thank you so much!

And there is...

Thanks to the Sixth Prince who is far away in Lingnan, who cheated us out of so much money even though he is thousands of miles away!

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty..."

Li Shimin chuckled, feeling somewhat proud in his heart.

But looking at the many ministers with sad faces, he couldn't help but have an idea.

"My dear ministers, although this Qiankun Baojian is a gift from me to you, you can buy and sell it."

"Moreover, this kind of mirror is not a treasure that ordinary people can get. If those wealthy merchants in the market saw the treasure in your hands, wouldn't they drool?"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, the ministers immediately came to their senses.

Yes!

Only ministers of the fifth rank and above are eligible to attend today's court meeting.

Naturally, these mirrors can only be owned by these superior people.

When the time comes, I will go out and boast about this Qiankun Baojian given by the Emperor. Those people in Chang'an City who are not worthy of the upper class will definitely be envious.

Those wealthy businessmen would definitely try their best to please themselves and get a mirror like this in an instant.

A mirror costs ten thousand taels of silver, so I could just sell it for one or two times the amount.

Wouldn't you make more money then?
Thinking of this, smiles gradually appeared on the faces of the ministers.

"Your Majesty, do you still have this mirror?"

"I want two more pieces!"

"I want three pieces!"

"I'll give you five bucks..."

All of a sudden, the ministers became very enthusiastic again.

Li Shimin was delighted.

But Yuchi Gong's eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.

……

Compared with the joyous and cheerful scene among the ministers in the Taiji Hall, the Ninth Prince's bedroom was filled with a gloomy cloud.

Li Zhi and Wu Zhao sat in front of the table, facing each other in silence, with tears streaming down their faces.

"Mei Niang..."

Seeing such a beautiful woman crying in front of him, Li Zhi's heart almost broke.

"For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, you..."

He gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time, then said:

"Become a nun!" Wu Zhao was stunned.

Good guy!
What does it have to do with the Tang Dynasty whether I become a nun or not?

If I don’t become a nun, does that mean the Tang Dynasty will not be stable?
Or, you can't bear to leave me, but don't want to stay in the palace and make His Majesty angry, so you want to put me in a nunnery?

Li Zhi stood up slowly, tilting his face up at a 45-degree angle, as if this would prevent his tears from falling:

"Li An deceived my father with his lies, saying that you are a fox who seduces the emperor. If you stay in the palace, you will definitely disrupt the government and end up being the hen that crows at dawn!"

"what……"

This was the first time Wu Zhao heard such a statement.

At this time, Wu Zhao was just a talented woman favored by Li Zhi, not even a concubine.

There is no possibility of any covetousness for power.

So, when Wu Zhao heard this, she couldn't help but feel angry.

You are so good, Sixth Prince!

Even Lingnan, which is thousands of miles away, can make me look down on you!
I'm not even a concubine, yet you actually say that I'm the hen crowing at dawn!
That's it!

Isn't it just leaving Li Zhi's prince's bedroom and going to a nunnery to worship the Buddha and the green lamps?
I’ll go there!
Thinking of this, Wu Zhao stood up, glanced at Li Zhi who was looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and sighed:
"Your Highness, I can become a nun and spend the rest of my life with a green lamp and an ancient Buddha, but..."

At this point, Wu Zhao's eyes showed a trace of hatred that was difficult to conceal:

"The Sixth Prince is thousands of miles away but he can still set up obstacles for you. This boy is extremely vicious!"

"Your Highness should think of a foolproof plan and send the Sixth Prince..."

Wu Zhao stopped talking.
But the meaning of the words is self-evident!

Li Zhi nodded, with a hint of hatred on his face:
"You're right. This Li An is really abominable. He can put me in such a passive position even though he's far away in Lingnan. He's truly a formidable enemy that I've rarely seen in my life!"

"I will discuss this with my uncle and come up with a foolproof plan so that this guy can never get in my way again!"

After saying this, he went up and grabbed Wu Zhao's soft hands:
"Don't worry, Mei Niang!"

"Although you have become a monk, you are only temporarily avoiding the disaster today!"

"Once my position as crown prince is firmly established and I inherit the throne, I will definitely make you compensate a thousand times over for the price you paid today!"

"As for Li An, I will make him pay a thousand times the price!"

……

"Ah!"

Li An, who was eating a chicken leg and enjoying the singing and dancing, was caught off guard by a sneeze and his face was covered with chicken leg oil.

Who is scolding me?

There must be many people who will scold him.

My father was sold a mirror for 250 yuan at a high price. He was deceived so badly that he would definitely scold him when he returned to Chang'an.

Even if it was Li Zhi, he would definitely not be able to sleep if he knew that his father had come to Lingnan.

I originally wanted to live in a corner of Lingnan and be a free and easy prince.

I'm afraid that with the arrival of my father, there will be some disturbances!

The tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop!
He frowned and thought for a moment, then put all his worries aside.

who cares!
I hear the crickets chirping, so why don’t I continue farming?
Drink today and don’t worry about right or wrong tomorrow!
Thinking of this, he jumped up from his chair and waved to the dancers:
"stop!"

The group of dancers were all stunned.

The dance was going well, why did the Sixth Prince suddenly stop it?

"Your dance is too slow and not powerful enough!"

The leading dancer was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion:

"Your Highness, what is strong enough?"

Li An thought about it, and then put aside the idea of ​​explaining to them.

These women have definitely never heard of energetic singing and dancing.

Then let this prince demonstrate it himself.

"Today, the prince is happy and will dance with you!"

After saying this, he walked in front of the dancers and began to sing and dance:
"There are too many right and wrongs in love, and I am now in a happy situation. I don't need the result whether you love me or not or not..."
