Chapter 131
Nima!Li Shimin was full of slander in his heart, he knew very well that if all the income of the Salt Manufacturing Division could be returned to the Ministry of Households, even if Datang's treasury was really rich, and if the Ministry of Households had money, his back would be hardened.

It's a pity that Li Shimin knew that it was impossible. Without Li Fu, there would be no salt company today, so he could only think about this idea.

Li Chengtong didn't have as many thoughts as Li Shimin, if Li Shimin asked, she would tell the truth.

But she didn't do this, because she was afraid of scaring people, and Li Shimin didn't ask, so why show off?Li Fu asked her to keep a low profile, now is the time to keep a low profile.

After all, it was sold for [-] million yuan last night, which was almost the tax income of the previous ten years of the Tang Dynasty. She dared not reveal this figure just like this, otherwise those officials in poor health above the hall would have to fall down a few times. !
Li Shimin could guess a little bit, but what he wants to see now is Wei Zheng's embarrassment, so he asked with a smile on purpose: "Chengtong, you have made great achievements this time, what kind of reward do you want, say, as long as I can do it?" , satisfy you!"

Li Chengtong shook his head, but looked at Wei Zheng with a smile, "Your Majesty, I don't want anything, I just want to ask Dr. Yushi, does the bet between us still count?"

With Li Chengtong's words, the atmosphere in the whole hall rose to the extreme in an instant. Everyone looked at Wei Zheng, no matter whether it was the minister or the emperor, and even the censors at Yushitai all looked at Wei Zheng.

It was the first time for Wei Zheng to receive such attention, and his old face was already flushed red.

In the past, he might have been furious long ago, but this time he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say a word at all.

Li Shimin saw that Wei Zheng's whole body was failing, so he finally smiled with satisfaction, and then smoothed things over, "Doctor Yushi, you participated in the role of the princess, and also participated in the crown prince and Zhen, now you know your mistake?"

"My lord, I understand your mistake!" Wei Zheng bowed to the end, clenching his teeth, and these three words almost came out from between his teeth.

Li Shimin was already satisfied with Wei Zheng's appearance, and even more satisfied when he heard Wei Zheng admit his mistake, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, since Doctor Yu Shi knows his mistake, then the bet is over."

"After all, you are an official appointed by the imperial court, and you are the Duke of the imperial court. If you really do such indecent things, it will be really indecent!"

"Your Majesty is wise, what does the princess think, the bet is over!"

"Exactly, you have to forgive others and forgive others, stay a line today, so we can meet again in the future!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was trying to smooth things over, Fang Xuanling and others also tried to persuade them. Although everyone wanted to see Wei Zheng, who was shirtless, wearing a cuckold, and carrying thorns, he was an official in the same hall after all, and they didn't want him to really of humiliation.

Li Chengtong saw that Li Shimin and so many courtiers pleaded for Wei Zheng together, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Li Chengtong's eyes, but it turned into slyness after a while, "Since Your Majesty and all the adults said so, Cheng Tong will listen to you."

"Doctor Yushi is a high-ranking official. If he really did that, it would be disgraceful to the gentlemen and what the sage said..."

With one word from Li Chengtong, Wei Zheng, who was about to keep his silence to the end, exploded in an instant. He is an official of the imperial court and a disciple of a sage, how can he not keep his word?
Wei Zheng straightened his neck and said stiffly: "Your Majesty, as a senior imperial official, I should lead by example, do what I say, and do what I do. I am willing to fulfill my bet. I will fulfill my promise to the county on Chang'an Avenue after I retire this morning." The Lord’s Promise.”

Li Shimin glanced at his niece angrily and amusedly, of course he saw that Li Chengtong did it on purpose just now.

Li Shimin even believes that Wei Zheng has already seen it, but so what if he sees it, they are just a trap for you to take advantage of, if you don't take it, you will break your promise, how will you convince the public in the future?

The ministers also noticed it. When they heard Wei Zheng said that he would fulfill his promise, their eyes changed when they looked at Li Chengtong. They all knew that this little girl was not as easy to mess with as she seemed.

"Well, if that's the case, then you parties can just figure it out, and I won't get involved."

Seeing that Wei Zheng insisted on this, Li Shimin didn't bother to talk too much. Originally, he wanted to watch it too, so it was just right.

The morning court will continue next, but the courtiers have no intention to continue, they all want to end it quickly, and then wait to see the bear appearance of the royal censor!

In less than an hour, the early court retreated, and as soon as Li Shimin left, the ministers began to chase and intercept Wei Zheng.

Cheng Yaojin approached Wei Zheng directly, and said with a chuckle, "Doctor Yushi, are you going to prepare now or a little later, do you want old Cheng to prepare wattle and green hat for you?"

Wei Zheng's face turned red, and he said bitterly, "Don't worry about Duke Lu, I have everything!"

"That's kind!" Yuchi Jingde laughed loudly, "Zheng Guogong, then let's see each other on Chang'an Avenue!"

"See you or leave..." All the ministers laughed together, and Wei Zheng was suddenly overwhelmed with shame and indignation, and ran away.

Li Chengtong did not tease Wei Zheng, but went straight to the East Palace and told Li Fu what happened in the early court.

When Li Fu heard that Wei Zheng was going to fulfill the bet, he suddenly became excited, "Good thing, isn't there a government-run restaurant on Chang'an Avenue, is it the tallest building in Chang'an? Come on, let's have lunch there today!"

When Li Fu and Li Chengtong arrived at the restaurant, Cao Shaoqin had already reserved a seat on the top floor of the restaurant, but when they went upstairs together to sit down, Li Chengtong suddenly exclaimed: "Father!"

Li Fu raised his eyes and saw that he was indeed Li Daozong, but when he saw the people around Li Daozong, his expression suddenly became exciting.

"Your Majesty, Prince Hejian, you..." When Li Chengtong saw the two people beside Li Daozong, he felt unwell.

She never thought that His Majesty would come here with her own father and uncle, and Li Chengtong could figure out what they wanted to do without guessing.

Li Shimin made a silent gesture to Li Chengtong, and then Li Chengtong calmed down, but when she looked around again, she suddenly lost her composure.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing... Li Chengtong even saw Kong Yingda!

It is no exaggeration to say that almost the entire court, the dignified princes and important ministers were all present. It seems that Wei Zheng really offended many people on weekdays, which is why so many people want to see him lively!

Li Shimin was very happy. He had wanted to be political with Wei Zheng for a long time, but he had never been able to find an opportunity. Now Li Chengtong gave him such a good opportunity. Not only did Wei Zheng admit his mistakes in the court, but he also voluntarily committed such indecent behavior.

Li Shimin felt that it was too enjoyable, so he directly picked up the wine glass, and made a toast to Li Chengtong from afar, which made Li Chengtong flattered, and at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from upstairs...
