Chapter 114 Too Difficult (Second update, there are more today!!)

"What shall we do next?"

Walking on the path of the imperial garden, Li Shimin waved his hand, and the eunuch who followed immediately asked all the maids in the garden to go down, and then quietly left.

"What to do, of course, is to find a few more allies, and then everyone will gather strength to solve their own difficulties, and then go to attack the enemy country."

"There is no need to solve the difficulties. There are no difficulties on my side. Mongolia has been expelled from the Central Plains by me."

"I..."

Li Shimin felt that he had been very frustrated in the past two days, why he was hit by them again and again, and let people die.

"Then help me solve the problem. If there is no accident, the Turks will soon come to Chang'an. In history, I signed some kind of Weishui alliance with them. I don't want to sign any more now."

"Of course no problem, how much benefit can I get?"

"Fuck, Lao Zhu, why are you so thick-skinned? We just formed an alliance, can't you help me?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but swear, doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang know that a gentleman is ashamed of his words?

"What's wrong with being thick-skinned, thick-skinned has something to eat, I understood this truth when I was 12 years old."

If you want to send troops for nothing, don't even think about such a good thing, even if everyone is an ally.

"Okay, okay, when the time comes, we will work together to keep Turkic, not to fight away, as long as I succeed, I will give you [-]%."

"I suddenly have something to do, now maybe I can go back to the court early."

"Old Zhu!"

Li Shimin hurriedly took Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and said affectionately,
"Old Zhu, can't you make it cheaper for the sake of everyone being grasshoppers on the same rope in the future?"

"Let me go!"

Throwing Li Shimin's hand away, Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily,

"If it weren't for the fact that you are an ally, I would have beaten you when you said [-]% just now, and I asked you, can you keep Turkic? No, you can't even beat others, and you still want to If you stay, then I will contribute, and you actually said that you will only give [-]%?"

"Then how much do you want?"

Li Shimin looked at other places in embarrassment. Indeed, the price he just said was indeed a bit low, but isn't it all about bargaining in negotiations, and there is no way to leave directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his calloused hand in front of Li Shimin, and spread all five fingers.

"You are so ruthless, you are killing a pig, Lao Zhu!"

"What do you say?"

"No, no, I mean, you are slaughtering sheep. How could you give [-]%? Wouldn't everyone be divided in half? It's too much, too much."

It is impossible to split evenly. You must know that the Turks were robbed along the way, so many of their things are from the local and state capitals of the Tang Dynasty, so how could Li Shimin agree to give [-]%.

"Then how much did you say?"

"I think it's better for us to take a step back, [-]%, Lao Zhu, don't be so greedy, everyone can grab other places in the future, right, don't worry about it now."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, then muttered something for a while, and said:
"Okay, what about finding allies?"

You don't need to do too many things, as long as you send out a soldier and fight a fight, you can get [-]%. Lao Zhu is quite satisfied with the result.

"I don't think it's a problem to find allies. You have to know that we sincerely recruit reliable newcomers without any conditions. They will be treated the same as us. This treatment is much better than that of Ying Zheng and the others."

Li Shimin came to sit in the gazebo for a while. He was already very tired after a busy day. If he hadn't wanted to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang, he would have gone to sleep with his Guanyin maid.

"That's fine, how about I go back now and call for a good man, and bring them here tomorrow?"

"Forget it, forget it, don't be so anxious, Chang'an City is too chaotic now, there are many foreign envoys, if the army comes over, the news will definitely be leaked, and there will be no one left."

"That's fine. You can find someone to arrange a room for me. I'm going to sleep here today."

"Ah."

Li Shimin slapped his hands, and the eunuch who had been waiting outside the yard immediately ran in,
"Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"

"Arrange a room and take Emperor Ming to rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty Daming, please come with your servants."

After Lao Zhu left, Li Shimin walked out of the gazebo, looked up at the stars at night, and found that the Ziwei star was dim, and there were many dark clouds around it, floating back and forth.

Li Shimin frowned, and stayed where he was for a long time, when suddenly he said,
"No wonder it's so hot and stuffy. It looks like there will be rain, and even the clouds will gather so much. Let's go back to sleep."

"..."

Li Yi went back to the room he stayed in last time, and found that Li Chengqian was already waiting for him here. Seeing that he was back, he hurriedly stood up to say hello.

"master."

"Well, what did you come to see me for?"

Today, Li Chengqian is still wearing his former crown prince's clothes. His canonization has not yet come down, so of course he cannot wear prince's clothes.

"Master, tomorrow is my crown prince's canonization ceremony. I think I will serve tea tomorrow and let you sit on the main seat."

"I'm sitting on the main seat. It's not in accordance with the etiquette. The prince's master can't sit on the main seat, right?"

"In the past, they couldn't sit because of their lack of status. They were all afraid of the emperor, so naturally they couldn't sit on an equal footing, but you can, master."

After these few exchanges, Li Chengqian really likes his master. Not only does he not want anything for himself, but he also takes himself to play to make himself happy, and he even has his credit for being the crown prince, so he can It was obvious that Li Yi really liked him.

"Okay, master, when the time comes, you will also sit on the upper seat, and I will go and talk to my father."

Li Yi thought for a while, and felt that it would be no problem to take the main seat, so he agreed.

"Okay, then I will prepare well tomorrow."

"Well, that disciple will leave."

Seeing Li Chengqian bouncing away from here, Li Yi smiled, but it seemed that he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly shouted to the outside:
"Don't forget to ask for a gift tomorrow!"

The next day, all the emperors attended Li Chengqian's canonization ceremony again this time, but today everyone's attitude was very peaceful, and the emperor's guard of honor was not displayed.

When they fight with Li Shimin, they are fighting for national interests, so they must win.

But there is no need for Li Chengqian. Their communication today is a private relationship, so face must be given. Moreover, Li Chengqian is Li Yi's apprentice, so they are all attending as elders today.

After Li Chengqian finished the official national canonization etiquette process, he went to take off the heavy gown, then changed into the prince's regular clothes and went to the main hall behind. At this time, his father, queen mother, emperors and Li Yi were all waiting here with him.

"Li Yi, you are a good apprentice. You actually remember you all the time and let you sit in the main seat, just so that I can serve you tea later."

"Hey, it's nothing, I'll ask him to offer you a cup of tea later."

"Oh really?"

Liu Xun was a little curious, and offered tea to everyone later, isn't that reasonable?
And Zhu Youjian was holding back his laughter while listening. Sure enough, Li Yi was also a shameless person.

After Li Chengqian came in, he first bowed to everyone in the room, then took the tea prepared by the maid next to him, toasted his father, the emperor, and the queen in turn, and then brought another cup of tea to Li Yi's side,
"Master, drink tea."

"Well, good apprentice."

Li Yi took a sip with a smile, then put down his teacup, and said to Li Chengqian:
"You are so kind to the master today, and your uncles are jealous, so I just agreed to the request of your uncles, and let you offer them a cup of tea. Go quickly."

"Yes."

There was no strange expression on Li Chengqian's face, and he slowly came to Yingzheng with tea,
"Uncle Ying, drink tea."

"Well, yes, he is a good boy."

After Ying Zheng drank the tea, before he put down the teacup, he heard Li Yi say a word, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

"Old Ying, today my apprentice canonize you as the prince, why don't you give me something to show?"

"????"

Except for Li Chengqian and Zhu Youjian, everyone in the room looked at Li Yi in surprise. You actually started asking for benefits at this time?
"Why, why are you so stingy, you all belong to the emperor, can't you show it!"

Ying Zheng felt awkwardly on his body, but because he didn't bring a gift in advance, he finally had to tear off his jade pendant and hand it to Li Chengqian.

"Thank you, Uncle Ying."

"Ah."

Although the things were sent out, Ying Zheng looked at Li Yi with disgust.

This guy is too stupid!
