Chapter 163 Disappointment
Li Tai got into the carriage, slammed his fist on the seat, and cursed: "Damn it! What should we do now? Miss Huang will definitely tell Father Huang about this."
He has been pretending to be very well-behaved in front of Li Shimin. If Li Shimin knows about this, he will be in trouble.
"Your Highness, we can only preemptively strike now." Han Wen said.
Li Lizhi's presence here also exceeded his expectations.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Han Wen moved to Li Tai's ear and whispered.
Li Tai's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said, "Just do it like this."
……
When Li Chengqian saw the three of Lin Xuan coming back, he quickly asked, "Lin Xuan, Qingque didn't make things difficult for you, did it?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the princess came quickly, His Royal Highness King Wei has already left."
"Qing Que actually wants to take it by force, so I will tell my father as soon as I get back." Li Chengqian said angrily.
Li Lizhi glanced at Lin Xuan anxiously. Although she was also a little angry with Li Tai, Li Tai was her younger brother after all, and she didn't want Li Chengqian and Li Tai to get too stiff.
Lin Xuan gave her a reassuring look, and said, "Your Highness, it's better not to tell His Majesty about this matter. After all, you are the elder brother of King Wei. If you file a complaint, it will only cause His Majesty's displeasure."
If Li Chengqian went to file a complaint, his performance during this period would be in vain.
"Then let's forget about it? What if he makes things difficult for you next time?" Li Chengqian said.
He has calmed down now, and he knows that it is not good for him to sue.
Lin Xuan smiled, it is impossible for Li Tai to come again.
There is Li Shimin in the Liuli Pavilion, and it is impossible for Li Shimin not to pay attention to it. It is impossible for Li Shimin to hide what happened here.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will be able to deal with it when King Wei comes again." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
He thought about telling Li Chengqian and them that Li Shimin was involved in Liuli Pavilion.
But Li Shimin didn't say anything, and he couldn't say it first, who knows if Li Shimin has other plans.
"Well, if you can't handle it, you must send someone to notify Gu." Li Chengqian said worriedly.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, it will be noon now, why don't you invite Your Highness and the princess to Keyun Tower for dinner?"
Li Chengqian thought for a while, and said: "I won't eat, I still have something to deal with, so I went back with Lizhi first."
Although Empress Changsun acquiesced in bringing Li Lizhi out, it's not good to stay too long.
Lin Xuan looked at Li Lizhi with some reluctance, and said, "Okay then, I will send your Highness and the princess off."
Although Li Lizhi wanted to stay with Lin Xuan for a while, but she was too thin-skinned, and with some rules and concepts, she was too embarrassed to speak up.
Lin Xuan and his group came downstairs, because there were too many people in the hall, Lin Xuan sent them out through the back door.
Li Lizhi glanced at Lin Xuan affectionately, and got into the carriage with the help of the maid.
"Okay, go get busy, Gu will go first." Li Chengqian waved his hand and got into the carriage.
"Sir, send off His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Changle!" Lin Xuan and Cheng Chuliang bowed and saluted.
Tick tick tick...
Lin Xuan watched the guards driving the carriage and slowly walked away.
"Brother Lin, it's time to recover, the carriage is gone." Cheng Chuliang reminded.
Lin Xuan came back to his senses, glared at Cheng Chuliang, and said angrily: "You can't have some sharp eyesight, what were you doing there just now?"
"Brother Lin, you can't blame me for this. I was so surprised at the time that I didn't react." Cheng Chuliang said aggrievedly.
He didn't know that Lin Xuan was so bold that he dared to take the initiative to touch the public.
"Okay, I blamed you wrongly. Originally, I wanted to tell Princess Changle to bring Princess Qinghe out next time. Now it seems that you don't need it at all." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the Liuli Pavilion.
Cheng Chuliang hurriedly grabbed Lin Xuan and said, "Don't, I'm wrong, why not? I'll invite you at noon today!"
Although he and Princess Qinghe had met, they had never spoken alone.
Looking at Lin Xuan holding Princess Changle's hand today, I really envy him.
Princess Qinghe's mother was just an unfavored concubine.
Therefore, in the palace, Princess Qinghe's life is not easy. If Princess Changle can help take care of it, Princess Qinghe's life in the palace will be easier.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll invite you at noon today."
Cheng Chuliang hurriedly asked: "What about Princess Qinghe?"
Lin Xuan broke Cheng Chuliang's hand and said as he walked, "It depends on where you invite me to dinner at noon."
"Oh, don't go!" Cheng Chuliang hurriedly chased after him.
……
"Your Majesty, this is how it happened." Li Mu told Li Shimin exactly what happened in the Liuli Pavilion.
Li Shimin signaled Li Mu to step back, tapped his fingers on the table, and began to meditate.
It seems that the aristocratic family wants to use Li Tai's hand to obtain the method of making colored glaze.
However, the Liuli Pavilion has only just opened, and the aristocratic family probably hasn't realized it yet. It should be Han Wen's own initiative.
He didn't know whether Li Tai was bewitched or whether he had this idea himself.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the King of Wei seeks an audience!" Li Mu's voice interrupted Li Shimin's thinking.
Li Shimin came back to his senses and said, "Let him in."
Not long after, Li Tai walked in sweating profusely.
"Son, see Father!"
"Get up, look at your sweaty head, what are you doing in such a hurry." Li Shimin said with concern.
Li Tai said: "Father, my son has something important to report."
Li Shimin asked Li Mu to move a wooden stool for Li Tai, and said, "Oh? Qing Que has something to tell me."
Li Tai bowed to thank him, then sat down, and said: "Father, the Marquis of Jingyang actually knows the method of making colored glaze. I want him to hand over the method, but he is not willing to hand it over."
"Since they made it, why did they hand it over?" Li Shimin cast a glance at Li Tai and said calmly.
"Father, that's Liuli. If it is in the hands of the royal family, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can earn a lot more every year, and the queen mother will no longer have to worry about money." Li Tai said.
All the royal estates and businesses of the royal family are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of Empress Changsun.
All the expenses of the royal family and the imperial family are paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In recent years, the treasury has been empty, and Li Shimin often sends money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the treasury.
As a result, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was simply unable to provide the daily expenses of the royal family.
Empress Changsun had no choice but to reduce the daily expenses of the royal family.
In order to take the lead, Empress Changsun didn't buy a new dress for three years.
Now because of Lin Xuan's ideas, the treasury has improved a lot, but it is impossible for the treasury to return the money allocated before.
When funds are allocated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the national treasury, ministers will praise Li Shimin as a wise king.
Once Li Shimin wants to allocate funds from the national treasury to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Wei Zheng will definitely jump out and stop it if no one else mentions it.
Li Tai believed that Li Shimin would be moved by what he said.
"If I snatch something made by others, what will the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think of me?" Li Shimin said worriedly.
Seeing that Li Shimin's heart was really moved, Li Tai was overjoyed and said, "Father, I also know that this will damage my father's wisdom, so I did it, but I was stopped by the emperor."
"Li Zhi has already been married to Lin Xuan by me. If you rob Lin Xuan, it is tantamount to robbing her. Of course she is not willing." Li Shimin said.
Li Tai said awe-inspiringly: "Father, these ministers all know, but the method of making colored glaze is of great importance to the royal family. It is difficult for the father to show up, so the ministers will do it, and those ministers can't impeach the father. Method of making colored glaze , holding it in the hands of my son is equivalent to holding it in the hands of my father, for the sake of the royal family, my son intends to bear this infamy."
"Then you came to see me?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Tai said: "I want my father to make an order not to let the imperial sister out of the palace in the near future, and I will release it after I get the method of making colored glaze."
This is the idea that Han Wen gave him. After the method is obtained, he has the final say on how much to make.
Li Shimin pretended to be a little moved and thought for a while, and said: "Lin Xuan will be the son-in-law in the future, and I believe he has a good view of the overall situation. How about this, I will ask Lin Xuan first to see if he is willing to hand over the method of making colored glaze. talk later."
"Father, my son asked before, and he is unwilling to hand it over." Li Tai was anxious when he heard that, if Lin Xuan handed it over, what else would he do.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't mind asking first. In war, you should pay attention to etiquette first and then soldiers. You should go back first."
Seeing this, Li Tai had no choice but to say: "Father, my son and minister will retire."
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai's leaving back, full of disappointment.
He can accept being ambitious. After all, he was born in the emperor's family. He doesn't believe anyone who says he has no ambition for that position.
But he dotes on Li Tai so much that Li Tai wants to lie to him.
He knew the whole story, and Li Tai's tricks could not fool him at all.
Thank you for the monthly pass of Violet Under the Stars, thank you!
