It seems that the three years of Zhenguan are about to pass.

And Li Shimin's current worries can be completely let go.

With the efforts of the three provinces and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, at least prices have been stabilized.

At this time, he sighed and said, "I was worried that the price would increase and that people would miss their livelihood, for fear that I would not be able to spend this year well. Now... I have lost to Dai Qing's family."

Dai Zhou said, "Your Majesty, what is my contribution? It's just that I have lost the strategist of Fang Xiang, and the hard work of the mayors and trading ministers of the following cities."

Li Shimin relaxed, with a smile on his lips, he slowly picked up the teacup and sipped the tea.

A moment later, an eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, the prince and Duke Chen have arrived."

"Call them in." Li Shimin put away his smile, his face turned up, and he looked very angry.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, while Dai Zhou looked expressionless.

Their hearts are as clear as a mirror, how could they not know that these were what His Majesty did for them to see?

Soon, Li Chengqian and Chen Zhengtai came in. This time, Li Chengqian stole the first one and hurriedly said, "My son has met his father."

Um?

Why did Chen Zhengtai react so slowly this time?

In the past... he was the first to come in and give a breathless salute?

Li Chengqian felt strange and couldn't help but look at Chen Zhengtai, but saw Chen Zhengtai waiting for him to salute and slowly picked up his hands...

But at this moment, after hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin shouted: "You rebellious son, you still have the face to come."

Then... Chen Zhengtai said in a mosquito-sized voice: "Students have met their mentor."

Of course, only Li Chengqian could hear this sentence.

Li Chengqian was scolded for no reason and said that you still have the face to come. This... Li Chengqian was a little unhappy.

Didn’t this be called by my father? Why is it because he is so handsome to come again?

Li Chengqian said, "The father summoned his son to come, but I don't know what happened?"

Chen Zhengtai had already stood aside, like a fool, in a daze, as if the things in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Li Chengqian's words were quite thorny.

Li Shimin said you have the right to come, and Li Chengqian's answer was that your father asked me for something, which was like deliberately fighting back against Li Shimin's previous questioning.

Of course... this counterattack is very obscure and most people cannot hear it.

But who is Li Shimin? When he heard this, he frowned, but it was difficult to get angry. Instead, he said coldly: "Is this memorial you wrote?"

Li Chengqian was actually quite nervous, but when Li Shimin asked, he couldn't help but wonder, why didn't his father ask if it was written by you and Chen Zhengtai, and he only had the word "you"? Why did it seem to be targeted only by me?

Li Chengqian had no choice but to say, "Yes, it was the report from the sons."

Li Shimin said calmly: "I have already checked it. Your memorial is completely false. Fang Gao and Dai Qing, the Minister of Revenue, have been working hard to stabilize prices these days. As the prince, you don't care about them. Instead, you are sarcastic here. Do you think you are the censor? Is there a prince like you in the world?"

These words are very heavy.

What Li Shimin was angry about was that the prince should not do the job of the censor, but should perform his duties and keep his duties.

Even if there is something wrong, you should not submit a memorial, and you can say it privately.

Li Chengqian was speechless for a while.

At this time, Chen Zhengtai said: "Mr....this is the case. The prince is afraid that if he only reports privately, he will not be able to arouse His Majesty's vigilance. After all, this is related to the welfare of countless people, so...the prince decided to submit this memorial to attract the attention of his master."

Li Chengqian thought to himself, yes, Chen Zhengtai is right.

But then he became suspicious again, it was wrong. Why did he listen to his senior brother's tone? It seemed that he was completely out of it? It was clearly what the senior brother asked him to report it, it was clearly a memorial in the joint name!

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui exchanged glances, thinking.

Dai Zhou's face looked a little bad, and he felt that His Royal Highness seemed to be targeting him.

His crown prince criticized me today. If he became the emperor in the future, wouldn’t he have to dismiss my official position and even deal with him in the future?

You should know... the ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty were not those who only knew it.

For example, Dai Zhou, during the Sui Dynasty, he also guarded Hulao Pass and personally cut down people.

He has a bad temper and often even Li Shimin dares to contradict him.

Li Shimin glanced at Dai Zhou from the corner of his eyes, and felt that the prince was really ignorant. He offended such ministers. How could he be crowned the king or even become the emperor in the future?

Do you have to be like Emperor Yang of Sui and finally get betrayal of everyone?

Li Shimin suddenly felt Li Tailai in his mind again, and he couldn't help but think, if Li Tai was here, he would definitely not offend the minister...

A few days ago, Yangzhou and Yuezhou reported another report, saying that Li Tai was polite to the ministers of Yangzhou and Yuezhou. He tried his best to do some official duties and shared a lot of official duties for the governors of each state. The governors of each state were very grateful to the King of Yue and submitted memorials to express his gratitude to Li Tai.

Not to mention Li Tai’s other issues, just talking about his unity of ministers, he is already familiar with this at such a young age.

What's more, this young son was far away from me again, and Li Shimin felt aroused from jealousy, and he unconsciously began to think of many benefits of Li Tai.

This is human favor, and this is how people are. The sons around them always feel that they are about to die, but they are often worried about their sons far away, fearing that they will suffer losses, be hungry, and be frozen.

Li Shimin said with a tense face: "Until now, the prince still thinks... aren't you making a mistake? Do you have to deal with you hard today before you can admit your mistake?"

When Li Chengqian heard this, something was wrong.

Why is it me alone?

At this time, Chen Zhengtai immediately said, "Mr.... the prince has no fault. Please think twice."

Li Chengqian felt that his brain was a little inadequate, and the more he listened, the more he felt it became incredible.

Li Shimin sneered and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you know your mistakes but don't change them. It's great. If I continue to indulge in this way today, who knows what you, the evil son, will do?"

"Mr...." Chen Zhengtai said with a heartache: "Mr. Is it okay for the teacher to punish the students, what's wrong with the prince?"

"I dare to deny it here!" Li Shimin was furious and shouted: "Come here!"

Li Chengqian was shocked, and he didn't seem to say anything, why did he deny it?

OK, I just admit it, then admit it, what he was trying to say...

At this time, Chen Zhengtai said: "The prince's original intention was to be afraid that the behavior of the Ministry of Civil Affairs would disrupt the market, but his mentor wanted to punish him. This was unreasonable, and the students thought..."

A team of guards had already rushed in after listening to Li Shimin's orders.

Li Shimin pointed at Li Chengqian directly and said unambiguously: "Take him down and tie him up. I will beat him personally. If you don't hit this unfilial son today, you will be this person who will ruin my world in the future."

Li Chengqian: “…”

Chen Zhengtai stopped talking all of a sudden.

Li Shimin suddenly turned his eyes and his eyes fell on Chen Zhengtai, and said, "And Chen Zhengtai is not a good thing, just take it down together."

Chen Zhengtai was a little confused. Why did he have anything to do with me again? He became confused. Didn’t he agree to beat his son?

"Mr....Mr...." Chen Zhengtai wailed without hesitation: "Students know they are wrong."

Li Chengqian was shocked and realized something. His father was very angry, and I had to admit my mistake quickly.

Who knew that Li Shimin said at this time: "You know your mistake, but the child can teach you. Li Chengqian... you... are so sad to teach me."

Li Chengqian: “…”

I also want to admit my mistake!

"Mr...." At this time, there was obviously no chance for Li Chengqian to interrupt. Chen Zhengtai said: "Even if the teacher wants to blame the prince, there should be a reason. The teacher kept saying that the prince's memorial was a creation of something out of nothing. I dare to ask the teacher, how is this creation of something out of nothing? If the teacher insists on his own and truly believes in the Civil Affairs Department, then how about the teacher and the prince make a bet?"

bet……

Before Li Shimin could react.

After all... this guy is really bold. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty bet with the prince, isn't this a big joke?

Chen Zhengtai continued, however, said: "If the prince is born out of nothing, the prince is willing to replenish all the shares of Erpigou into the inner treasury. Not only that, the students also have 20% of the shares, and they also replenish them into the inner treasury. But what if the prince's memorial is right? If it is right, the prince naturally dares not to greed for the money of the inner treasury, then you might as well ask Your Majesty to allow the prince to establish a new city."

What is New City?

Li Shimin still didn't understand.

However... the prince has 30% of the shares in Erpigou, plus 20% of Chen Zhengtai, this is definitely an astronomical number!

This is the temptation of a super account! So Li Shimin couldn't help but be moved!

This is endless money. With this money, even if Li Shimin builds a new palace now, he will never think it is a luxury.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Dai Zhou.

Dai Zhou understood what Your Majesty meant. Your Majesty was making a sure thing, and seemed to be asking whether the Ministry of Civil Affairs was absolutely reliable.

At this point, Dai Zhou nodded to Li Shimin without hesitation.

This means that Your Majesty just check it out. If prices really rise wildly, I will not be worthy of being the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

With Dai Zhou's affirmation, Li Shimin became confident and said, "How to verify it?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Of course, it is true that he sees it. I beg His Majesty to leave the palace immediately and go to the market."

Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian, then looked at Chen Zhengtai with a firm look: "You are not seeing the coffin and not crying. I will see how you will deny it then!"
