Chapter 37

In fact, the eldest grandson Wugou also saw his son crying so sadly for a moment, he was a little out of breath.If she calms down and thinks about it, she will definitely understand that things will never be as Li Tai said.After all, she still knew what her son was like.

"Qin Qiong, tell me what happened. Why did King Wei cry so sadly?" Although Li Shimin said this, he already knew in his heart that Li Tai was definitely trying to trick Pei Ji.

"Reporting to the emperor, I am not very clear about what happened. However, there were many people who were with His Royal Highness King Wei at that time. Luo Tong has always been by King Wei's side, as well as Yuchi Jingde's sons, Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing, Cheng Tieniu, son of Cheng Yaojin, Xu Liang, son of Xu Maogong, and Qin Huaiyu, son of minister, are all here." Qin Qiong saluted Li Shimin.

After hearing Qin Qiong's words, Li Shimin said in his heart: "Let these little ancestors tell what happened, and this prime minister Pei Ji will not be killed. They all wear the same pants with Li Tai. Even if they are If Li Tai didn't reason, he could let them say that he was greatly wronged."

But thinking about it, Li Shimin still looked at Luo Tong.Then he asked Luo Tongtong: "Tell me, what exactly happened. Why did the King of Wei entangle with the Prime Minister? Remember, there is no need to add anything."

"Reporting to the emperor, we were training in the barracks this morning. After the training, everyone mentioned that there is a 33rd heaven in Dongshi. I heard that MSG is sold there, so we went with King Wei..." Li Tai Tell Li Shimin what happened in detail.

After Li Shimin heard what Luo Tong said, although he knew that Luo Tong hadn't added anything, he also knew that Luo Tong would conceal everything that was not good for Li Tai.However, Luo Tong did not say that it was Pei Ji who wanted to assassinate Li Tai.This made Pei Ji heave a sigh of relief.

"Father, do you know? If it weren't for my master's high martial arts skills, plus my two guards who fought to protect the lord, I would probably have been killed by that Pei Wu by now." Li Tai said sadly to Li Shimin.

"Prime Minister Pei, should you explain this to me?" Li Shimin said to Pei Ji who was kneeling on the ground.

"Reporting to the emperor, it was my negligence. Let the housekeeper Pei Wu bully the people everywhere in the name of the minister. This is what led to today's result. In addition, the minister listened to the slander and offended His Royal Highness Wei Wang. All this is the fault of the minister. Please punish the emperor." As long as you don't say that you are assassinating King Wei.Everything else is easy to say.

"Li Tai, you heard it too. Prime Minister Pei didn't do this on purpose. Everything was done by that Pei Wu under the guise of Prime Minister Pei. So I think this matter should be left alone." Li Shimin Looking back at Li Tai, he said.

"Father, although Prime Minister Pei did not intend to do all of this, Qing Que was really frightened. Should Prime Minister Pei pay some of this deposit fee?" Li Tai wiped off the bruises on his face. Tears, said to Li Shimin.

Needless to say, Li Shimin also knew that Li Tai's ultimate goal was not to do anything to Pei Ji.The purpose is to extort money from him.Just like how he treated Wang Yushi that day.But Li Shimin was happy for Li Tai to do so.

Because Li Shimin has another idea, that is, if Li Tai offends all the important officials in the court.Then he will lose the support of these people, but these people will turn to support Li Chengqian.Then the possibility of Li Chengqian securing the position of prince is much greater.

"Prime Minister Pei, do you think it's okay to deal with this?" Li Shimin said.

"Yes, yes. After all, His Royal Highness Wei Wang was indeed frightened. The deposit fee should be paid by the minister. Please ask His Royal Highness Wei Wang as much as you need." As long as it is something that can be solved by money, it is not a problem.This sentence is not only effective in the present, but also in ancient times.

"Then let's pay you 5000 taels first." Li Tai bit his finger and said after thinking about it.

This time, Pei Ji was quite frightened, 5000 taels of silver was not a small sum.So Pei Ji hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness, the 5000 taels is a bit too much. Even if I have been a prime minister for a lifetime, I can't save so much money."

"This king is not asking for a lot of money, and asking you for 5000 taels of silver is definitely justified. First of all, your housekeeper has smashed the house. Do you need to compensate the house and let the house redecorate?" Li Tai looked at it. Looking at Pei Ji, he asked.

"Naturally, but it doesn't take that much money to redecorate a shop," Pei Ji said.

"Do you know what kind of goods are sold in that shop. It's a bottle of monosodium glutamate for one tael of silver. Your housekeeper actually ordered someone to smash hundreds of bottles of them directly. You said you would pay them How much?" Li Tai counted for Pei Ji with his fingers.

Seeing Pei Ji's bewildered expression, Li Tai continued: "The MSG money, plus the injured guy, and the decoration of the shop, at least 1000 taels. In addition to your bodyguards, you will be paid by this king." Should the imperial army be brought back to the camp for entertainment, should we also leave some food expenses? The food for the imperial army of the king of Wei is not so good."

Then Li Tai added his mental damage fee, tranquility fee, and other miscellaneous things.It really made him add enough 5000 taels.Pei Ji was quite frightened, if Li Shimin really asked him to pay Li Tai with the money.It is estimated that he will go bankrupt too.

"Li Tai, Hugh is talking nonsense over there, asking for 5000 taels of silver. You think that silver is just a stone on the road." Li Shimin said pretending to be angry, looking at Li Tai.

"Your Majesty, 5000 taels of silver is not much that His Royal Highness King Wei asked his ministers for, but I really can't afford that much silver. So His Royal Highness King Wei, can you see if it can be less." Pei Ji said.

"Then tell me how much you should pay, lest my father want to kill me again later." Li Tai said with an aggrieved expression on his face.

Pei Ji also understood in his heart that today's matter wanted to be settled.It is absolutely impossible not to take out two or three thousand taels of silver.So Pei Ji was cruel, and said: "I am willing to pay 3000 taels of silver. I wonder if His Royal Highness King Wei thinks it is feasible."

"3000 taels is 3000 taels, who asked father to help you." Li Tai said with a reluctant expression.

"Since His Royal Highness the King of Wei agreed, can the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion be sent back?" Pei Ji didn't dare to let his guards stay in the camp of the Royal Guards of Wei.Otherwise, he would not be able to pay the food expenses.

"It's not urgent, as long as you deliver the money, the king will arrange to release him immediately. But you have to hurry up, the king will collect the food expenses for today, but the king will not collect tomorrow." Sure enough, Pei Ji did not come out. As expected, Li Tai really wanted to charge him for food.

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness King Wei, I will prepare silver for you right now. Therefore, His Royal Highness Wei King doesn't have to prepare food for them tomorrow." After Pei Ji finished speaking, he bid farewell to Li Shimin and left the palace.

 "Favorites, recommendations, rewards, and comments are all for this king, otherwise today's business will not be over." Li Tai said with a big smile to his brothers.
