Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 125
It's really the first time in the history of the world, as a courtier participating in the performance of the master, isn't this the birthday man who hanged himself, and thinks his life is too long!
Wei Zheng was not afraid of the eyes of Li Shimin and Baiguan, he got up directly and looked at Li Shimin with his neck straight.

"I am willing to die for the sake of the Great Tang Guozuo and the Wannian foundation of the Tang Dynasty. If Your Majesty is angry, you can cut off the head of the minister, but everything I say is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the court!"

One remonstrance, one for the sake of Datang, Li Shimin was furious, but he didn't dare to order Wei Zheng to be killed.

If Wei Zheng is really chopped off, then the image he has built over the years of being willing to listen to advice will be completely ruined.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it..." Li Shimin could only growl sharply, with the veins on his face bulging out, making him look extremely ferocious.

Seeing Li Shimin like this, no one in the court dared to dissuade him. Everyone knew that Li Shimin would explode at some point. If his anger was directed at him, wouldn't it be worth it?

Li Chengtong was quite angry at first, but when he saw Li Shimin getting angry, he calmed down inexplicably.

His Majesty trusts him, and he must not make things difficult for him. He has the salt-making technology taught by the crown prince himself. If Wei Zheng can't hold him back, what face will he have to be a salt-making secretary in the future?

Li Chengtong has absolute confidence in her current salt-making technology, so she stepped out of the train directly.

Li Daozong didn't catch any of them. Seeing his daughter walking out, he hurriedly lowered his voice and shouted: "Cheng Tong, come back, don't go up..."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!" Li Chengtong said loudly, prostrating prostratingly in the hall.

When they heard what happened to Li Chengtong, the eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on her.

At such a time, Li Chengtong dared to stand up and knew without guessing. Either he had self-knowledge and took the initiative to resign, or he thought of a way to resolve the immediate crisis.

"Zunza!" Li Shimin suppressed his anger, his eyes still fixed on Wei Zheng.

Li Chengtong thanked En and stood up, looking at Wei Zheng, "Doctor Yushi, dare to ask me if I am qualified for the position of the chief of the salt production department, then I will be loyal to the monarch and the country, will the prince be loyal to his duties, and will your majesty teach his son well? Is it a generation of sages?"

Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengtong with serious eyes, "The princess himself said it all, but ask yourself, are you competent?"

Li Chengtong smiled slightly, "Then I dare to ask Dr. Yu Shi, in your opinion, how can I prove that I am qualified for the post of director of the Salt Manufacturing Department? There must be a standard."

Wei Zheng thought for a while, and said loudly: "Of course there are standards. If the princess can make all the people in Chang'an City able to eat refined salt within two months, and the price of refined salt is only half of the current salt price, they will be considered competent!"

Wow... There was an uproar in the main hall, Fang Xuanling and the others gasped, and Li Daozong almost cursed out loud.

This is so insincere, it is clearly a bully. In two months, nearly a million people in Chang'an can afford refined salt, and the price of refined salt is only half of the current price of coarse salt. Who can do this? Can it be done?

But in this case, Wei Zheng is really what he says, even if everyone thinks that Wei Zheng is not authentic, but the words have been spoken, the next thing is to see how Li Chengtong responds.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a hint of annoyance, but of course it was more of worry.

Wei Zheng's conditions are really too harsh. If this time is extended to one year, or even half a year, Li Shimin feels that there is still a slight possibility, but the problem is only two months, how can it be done?

But just when everyone thought that it was impossible for Li Chengtong to do it, Li Chengtong looked confident and laughed, "Master Yu Shi was joking, why does it take two months, only one month, I can do it arrive!"

"From today, one month later, I will ensure that all the people in Chang'an can afford refined salt, and the price of salt will be reduced to half of the current price!"

Wow... the whole court was boiling again, and Li Daozong's mind went blank for an instant.

Arrogance and ignorance!Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengtong, and these four words flashed through his mind for a moment, and he looked at Li Chengtong with eyes full of sarcasm and disdain.

Li Daozong came to his senses and looked at his daughter with a bitter expression on his face. This little ancestor was just playing around. Wei Zheng felt that two months was too little, but she actually took the initiative to reduce it to one month!

Isn't it troublesome to let all the people in Chang'an City afford refined salt for one month?
Fang Xuanling and the others also shook their heads again and again, thinking that Li Chengtong was overconfident, how could it be possible to complete it in a month!
Even Li Shimin was very disappointed with Li Chengtong, thinking that Li Chengtong was a child, and he was still angry with Wei Zheng at this time.

Wei Zheng said to Li Chengtong seriously: "Do you really mean what the princess said? You won't regret it in one month?"

"Your Majesty and all the ministers testify that if I can't do it, I will leave the Salt Manufacturing Department immediately and never return to Chang'an. I admit that your participation in my article is correct, but Doctor Yushi, what if I can do it? "

Wei Zheng smiled coldly. Hearing what Li Chengtong said just now, he already believed that it was impossible for Li Chengtong to do it.

But he still said: "If the princess can do it, no matter what the conditions are, the official will definitely do it!"

A hint of cunning flashed across Li Chengtong's eyes, "Then if I do it, Mr. Yu Shi will walk on Chang'an Avenue with a thorn on his back and a green hat on his head."

There was a moment of silence all over the court, and then someone laughed uncontrollably, and the dignified atmosphere in the hall suddenly eased a lot.

What a child at heart!Li Shimin shook his head again and again, not knowing what to say.

Wei Zheng frowned slightly when he heard such an unbearable bet, but the little girl didn't bargain, and even offered to see the time limit, how dare he refuse.

"Okay, just do as you say..."

"Okay!" Li Chengtong didn't wait for Wei Zheng to finish, turned around and knelt down to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, please arrange to make a written statement for the lower officials and Lord Censor, all of you are witnesses!"

Li Shimin nodded, and then Fang Xuanling wrote the note himself, and quickly wrote the note. Wei Zheng and Li Chengtong signed their respective names on the note and pressed their fingerprints.

A court meeting that was on the verge of swords and swords came to an end under such a bet setting.

For this bet, all civil and military officials are full of expectations, and everyone can see that this bet determines many things.

If Doctor Yushi wins, then no matter His Majesty, the Crown Prince or the Prince of Jiangxia, they will all lose face.

And if Li Chengtong wins, and Wei Zheng is really shirtless, wearing a cuckold, and carrying thorns on Chang'an Avenue, then don't be a man!
