The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

After laughing, Li Yuan said to Li Fu: "This account book is indeed as you said, there are some problems in it. I know the cost of these items in the palace."

After all, he was the emperor for nine years...

Well, to be honest, it was eight and a half years. In the ninth year of Wude, he only worked as the emperor for half a year. Later, all military and national affairs were handed over to the "crown prince at that time."

Although he didn't care about these accounts in the palace, it didn't mean that the people under him could fool him.

Li Yuan was only a little "confused" when facing his own family. When dealing with other aspects, he was very shrewd.

Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty could not be established by being confused.

"You want to send the money in this account book to the palace?" Li Yuan looked at Li Fu and asked with a smile.

"I must have known that there was something wrong with the account book, so I bargained with my second brother and cut a small amount to 70,000 strings of cash." Li Fu said, "But my second brother agreed right away."

"He agreed so readily that I knew at that moment that I had hit myself in the foot."

Li Fu's expression was quite speechless.

"Hahahahaha."

Li Fu's words made Li Yuan laugh again.

"Later, I thought, since the money has been given, I have to give it. Now that I know the identity of the benefactor, I should help me find a way to repay him." Li Fu said, "In the end, my second brother, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, all three of them couldn't come up with a good solution. Tell me, if the four of them get together, what kind of problems in the whole Tang Dynasty can stump them? Why did my nephew's problem stump them? I suddenly felt that the money was spent in vain."

"Hahaha, so you turned around and ran to my Da'an Palace to complain?" Li Yuan smiled with narrowed eyes, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together with laughter: "Hahaha, interesting, really interesting."

"Uncle, you are also laughing at me."

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you, I won't laugh at you, so, in the end, what are you going to do?" Li Yuan asked.

Li Fu told Li Yuan his thoughts.

"Oh, why bother so much." Li Yuan said, "Although I am now the emperor, there are still some things I can help you with. Come here."

Li Yuan called out.

The eunuch came in response.

"Go and ask the Duke of England to come over here." Li Yuan said.

"Yes." The eunuch left in response.

Then Li Yuan asked another eunuch to ask Li Shimin.

"After a while, when the Duke of England comes, you go to the back for the time being. I will do the rest for you." Li Yuan looked at Li Fu and smiled lovingly.

"Thank you, uncle!" Li Fu's face lit up.

"Uncle, but then again, you can't directly propose marriage to the Duke of England when you meet him directly, right?" Li Fu said.

"Don't mention it, I understand what you are worried about. You want to take it slow, then I will give you time, take it slow." Li Yuan smiled and said: "Things between children cannot be forced, nor can they be rushed."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan also thought of the interesting things he and his wife had when they were young.

If fate is not a natural outcome, wouldn't it be even worse if they were forced together?

"Well, thank you uncle." Li Fu hurriedly saluted.

After the eunuch came back to report, Li Fu hurried into the inner hall.

The first one to come was Li Shimin.

"Son pays respects to father." Li Shimin bowed his hands and saluted.

"Come and sit down." Li Yuan called Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin sat down, he looked at Li Yuan.

"Father asked his son to come, but what instructions do you have?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Li Yuan handed the account book to Li Shimin.

"You, you are still arguing with a kid like Li Fu, hahahaha, this kid came to me after he left you." Li Yuan said with a smile.

Li Shimin saw the familiar account book, and his mouth twitched slightly.

This bastard!

Ran to Da'an Palace to complain.

"Does father mean that this account is over?" Li Shimin was puzzled.

Li Yuan shook his head.

"That's not the case, but the palace took Huairen's money, and I plan to do it for him." Li Yuan smiled and said, "You still need to be present for this matter."

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"Father already knows."

"Yes, I know, I also think this is a good match, but the time is not right, and it can't be forced." Li Yuan said, "Huairen is thin-skinned, so let's take it slowly."

Li Shimin nodded.

He also wanted to match them up, but seeing Li Fu's disappointing appearance, people were worried about him.

Soon, Li Ji also arrived.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor, Your Majesty." Li Ji stood in the hall and bowed.

"Mao Gong is here,Come, come and sit down. "Li Yuan looked at Li Ji with a kind face.

After thanking him, Li Ji sat on the cushion brought by the eunuch.

"Today I asked you to come here not for any state affairs, but just to talk about some private matters." Li Yuan said.

Li Ji bowed his head slightly.

"How many children does Maogong have?" Li Yuan asked.

"To reply to the emperor, I have two sons and two daughters." Li Ji responded.

"Oh, after many years, Maogong now has both sons and daughters. Good, good." Li Yuan smiled and said, "Have the children all married?"

Li Ji shook his head slightly.

"The children have not yet started a family, but the eldest son has already discussed marriage."

"Oh? That's a good relationship." Li Yuan said: "The other children have not yet discussed marriage. "

"The second son and daughter are still young. The eldest daughter has been in poor health since she was young. She followed the advice of a master and practiced martial arts to strengthen her body. Now her health has improved a lot. My wife and I want to keep her by our side for a few more years, so we have not discussed marriage." Li Ji said.

Why did the emperor talk to me about his children's marriage?

Could it be that he wants to marry his family?

Li Ji knelt on the cushion, his mind wandering.

"Actually, there is something I want to talk to you about, but it has nothing to do with the marriage of children." Li Yuan directly brought up the topic: "I wonder if Maogong still remembers that the King of Jingyang was assassinated in Chang'an during the Lantern Festival last year."

Li Ji nodded slightly.

"At that time, this matter was widely circulated, and I heard about it." Li Ji responded.

"Then does Maogong know who saved the King of Jingyang at the beginning? "Li Yuan asked.

Li Fu had a question, which was whether Li Ji knew that it was his daughter who saved the man, so Li Yuan helped Li Fu to ask directly.

It would be better to call the father of the person involved to have a chat instead of going around in circles and racking your brains. It would be simple and direct.

As for the rest, why bother with so much trouble, and even find three prime ministers to discuss it, which is a waste of talent.

Seeing that the emperor had asked this question, Li Ji knew that the emperor and His Majesty had already known about his daughter's rescue.
