The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Ah..." Li Fu's smile froze on his face.

I thought Li Shimin didn't like to hear these empty words, what happened today?

"Well, I am not very knowledgeable, so I can only say these words today. If you like to listen, let me go back and prepare." Li Fu said with a bow.

"Come on, you are really..." Li Shimin said helplessly: "Sit aside."

"Yes." Li Fu responded.

At this time, Li Fu was the only foreign minister in the hall, and Li Shimin set his eyes on the memorial again.

"Huairen."

"Well? Second brother, what's wrong?"

Li Fu hadn't figured out how to ask Li Shimin about Xiao Yu, but Li Shimin spoke first.

Li Fu could only respond.

"I remember that it was you who recommended Wei Zheng to me, right?" Li Shimin asked casually.

"Uh..." Li Fu pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Is it... like this...?"

What happened?

Why did you bring this up for no reason?

Did Wei Zheng confront Li Shimin?

Did he make Emperor Li II unhappy?

That's impossible?

Then if I come here today, wouldn't I be in trouble?

How about saying goodbye now and coming back another day?

What excuse can I use to slip away?

Li Fu racked his brains to think, if it doesn't work, just say that he has made an appointment with the emperor to play mahjong in Da'an Palace, and now there are three people missing in Da'an Palace, waiting...

"I remember, it's like this." Li Shimin said: "You said that Wei Zheng, the prince's groom, was a talented person in the East Palace. Later, I found Wei Zheng and talked with him. He is indeed a capable person."

"It's been so long, whether Doctor Wei is a good minister, you have already seen it in your heart, second brother." Li Fu smiled and said: "Why do you mention this now? Do you think Doctor Wei is a good minister recommended to you by me, and you want to reward me?

In that case, I won't ask for much, just give me 1,800 strings of cash, I don't mind it too little, if I find talents useful to the court in the future, I will recommend them to you."

Since I can't figure out what Li Shimin is going to do, I might as well be thick-skinned...

No, I might as well be shameless, my life is more important.

Li Shimin was choked by Li Fu's words.

"What? 1,800 strings? You said this in front of Wei Zheng, and see if Wei Zheng thinks he can get 1,800 strings." Li Shimin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Ah? Doctor Wei can say this himself, second brother, you are the emperor, you can't be so stingy, right? It's just 1,800 strings, you are not without money..." Li Fu sat cross-legged on the cushion, looking like a rogue.

"I have no money!!" Li Shimin was furious.

"How can you have no money? There is plenty of money in the inner court now." Li Fu said.

"Don't you know whether there is money in my inner court? Have you forgotten what you made yourself?" Li Shimin looked at Li Fu with interest, and didn't even look at the memorial in his hand.

Because Li Shimin found that it was not good to do many things at the same time when chatting with Li Fu.

What a great King of Jingyang, a few words from him would disrupt my train of thought.

"Ah? What's wrong with me?" Li Fu was puzzled.

Li Fu was just thinking, if Li Shimin had to pay for recommending Wei Zheng, would he be able to sell Ma Zhou for a good price in the future, why did such a problem arise.

Is there no money in the inner court? I have given a lot of money to the palace, why is Li Shimin still so poor and stingy.

Li Shimin winked at the eunuch beside him.

Then, the eunuch led the palace people out of the hall.

Now, Li Fu was even more confused.

What is this...?

What's the matter with this situation? Is there another rebellion?

Before this rebellion, they are targeting me again? No way? Who is so stubborn? Two princes of the royal family have died, and they are still making trouble?

"No, second brother, what are you doing..." Li Fu watched the eunuch leave.

He looked around and looked around the Liangyi Hall.

He didn't seem to have made any mistakes. Li Shimin couldn't throw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and then five hundred swordsmen rushed in and killed him directly.

It shouldn't be possible.

Five hundred swordsmen are not needed, five are almost enough...

"The money from the inner court is very useful, especially the one you sent yesterday, which can also be used." Li Shimin smiled and said, "As for the things you made yourself, do you remember what you once told me to build in the deep mountains of Qinling?Workshop matter?"

Li Fu's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

Workshop in the deep mountains of Qinling Mountains, gunpowder!!

The money of the inner court was transferred out to do this!!

"Isn't this money from the national treasury?" Li Fu asked.

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head.

"No, only a few officials of the Ministry of Works knew about the workshop over there, and the people who knew about it were all over there and didn't return to Chang'an City..."

Li Shimin wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Li Fu.

"Second brother, you know the matter well, I won't listen to it anymore, and you don't have to tell me more." Li Fu waved his hand quickly.

Don't listen, Li Er chanted.

"What are you afraid of? If I don't tell you, don't you know? When I mention the four words "Qinling workshop", you remember it, don't you?" Li Shimin said calmly: "Don't be afraid, I'm not that kind of person. "

Li Fu curled his lips.

You are really... good at talking.

"Even if the workshop is kept secret, it can only be kept secret for one or two years, two or three years. When we fight the Turks on the grassland, what should be exposed will still be exposed, it's just a matter of how much it will be exposed. "Li Shimin said calmly: "It won't be hidden forever."

"Now, the money and grain have been allocated from the inner court to supply that place. Not from the national treasury is also to better hide the workshop. "Li Shimin said: "In the whole Chang'an City, only you and I know the existence of the workshop."

"The more you talk, the more scared I feel, as if you want to silence me." Li Fu couldn't help but complain.

"Why do I feel that you are so thoughtful, you think too much." Li Shimin was speechless.

"Then you mentioned this, are you going to reward me for my contribution of gunpowder? I don't want much, just 100,000 or 80,000 strings of cash. You know, gunpowder is worth the price. "

When Li Shimin heard this, he talked about money again, and he slammed the table in anger.

There was a "bang", which scared Li Fu.
