Li Shen winced when he saw his father's eyes. He knew that his father was angry. Although he doesn't understand politics, Wang Xuance told him that the Changsun family cannot fail now, especially Changsun Wuji.

The eldest grandson's family is still of use to Your Majesty, and the prince's succession to the throne will also help the prince stabilize the court situation in the future.

If he is so forced now, it is very likely that Changsun Huan will be killed, Changsun Wuji will become an official, and there will be a gap between him and the royal family.

"Your Majesty, I feel that although Changsun Huan violated the law, he did so unintentionally and was just a moment of greed.

I also ask Your Majesty to give Duke Zhao a lighter sentence in view of his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. "

At this moment, Gao Jifu stood up. He was the prince's right concubine and concurrently served as the minister of official affairs.

"Your Majesty, I also think so. Although Chang Sun Huan has made mistakes, Duke Zhao has contributed a lot. And even if they sell some grain to Goguryeo, they still can't stop my cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.

I ask your Majesty to give you a gentle sentence. "

Hou Junji, who was the Minister of War at the time, also suddenly stood up. Since he was punished, the appearance rate has not been high.

It's all because he is conscientious and well-behaved.

Someone begged for mercy. Li Shimin felt somewhat reassured. At least there were steps, but it was not enough now.

He had to insist on this kind of thing, so Li Shimin didn't say anything.

"Aye, I think it's better to give Changsun Huan a lighter sentence out of Zhao Guogong's affection."

The prince stood up. After all, Changsun Huan was also his cousin, Changsun Wuji was his biological uncle, and his mother's uncle. He should stand up and plead for mercy.

Immediately afterwards, Li Tai and Li Zhi also stood up to intercede for Changsun Huan.

"I second the proposal" Chu Suiliang also stood up

After he was demoted, he spent several years away from home. Last year, he was recommended by Changsun Wuji and became the Huangmen Minister, admonishing the officials.

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

More than a dozen officials stood up to second the proposal, but only the officials from the noble family did not make any move.

Just when Li Shimin felt that the heat was almost over and it was time for him to appear, his annoying son spoke again.

"Qi Aye." As soon as Li Sheng opened his mouth, he felt his father's murderous aura and his buttocks felt cold.

"That... that... I also seconded the suggestion. I think that although Changsun Huan was at fault, even though Changsun Huan was a traitor to the country,

But it is true that the punishment can be given lightly for the sake of Zhao Guogong's face.

The fault of a son being unfilial to his father may be that Zhao Guogong did not teach him well, which is why Changsun Huan had such rebellious thoughts.

Duke Zhao must educate his other sons well in the future, otherwise if you have more than ten sons, all of them will behave like this.

I, Li Tang Jiangshan, cannot bear the torment of your eldest grandson family. "

No one expected that at this time, Li Shen not only did not add insult to injury, but also helped Changsun Huan to beg for mercy.

So what is he trying to do all this? Disgusted Duke Zhao?

Only Li Shimin frowned. Li Shen seemed to beg for mercy, but the underlying meaning behind his words was that it was a matter of Changsun Wuji's teaching.

If he didn't have this kind of education, how could Changsun Huan have such an idea.

This suddenly made Li Shimin think of a question: did Changsun Wuji know about Changsun Huan?

"Come here, take Changsun Huan to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to await his death."

Li Shimin, who was originally going to pronounce the sentence in court, suddenly changed his mind because there were many officials interceding for Changsun Huan.

The guards came in and took Chang Sun Huan down. Everyone else felt that Chang Sun Huan was definitely safe.

But I just don’t know what will happen in the end, whether he will be dismissed from office or dismissed.

Li Shimin was also a little tired, so he stood up and prepared to retreat.

"Aye, I have one more thing to do."

At this moment, Li Shen stepped forward again and said.

"What else do you want?" Li Shimin decided that he would have to call this traitor over and give him a good beating in order to relieve his headache.

"Back to Aye, not long ago, Changsun Huan lent me a small sum of money, worth 1.5 million gold, from our Datang Chamber of Commerce.

Now I think it was probably the principal he used to buy grain and sell it to Goguryeo at a high price.

Although the loan period is three months, given that what Changsun Huan did with the money was against the law,

Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce decided to end the loan period early and repay the loan early.

The son asked Aye to make the decision and let the Duke of Zhao pay back the loan and interest, which totaled eleven thousand four hundred and fifty-eight pounds.

You can erase the zero and return the 11,458 kilograms of gold. "

"what?"

"More than 10,000 kilograms, are you sure it's not two pounds?"

This figure once again surprised the ministers. Changsun Huan actually borrowed such a huge sum of money from the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty.

Changsun Wuji was also stunned. Changsun Huan didn't mention this matter to him yesterday at all, not even the first meeting with the Goguryeo envoy.

"Impossible! Absolutely not!"

Changsun Wuzu shook his head in denial.

"There is nothing impossible about this. You see, this is the contract signed by your parents, Sun Erlang, and the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty.

It was clearly written on it, and it was signed and stamped. "As he said that, he took out the loan contract signed by Changsun Huan.

Li Shimin took the contract handed over by Wang De and read it over, not knowing what to say for a moment.

My son's game is too subtle and interconnected. He wants to gain both fame and fortune.

They were all taken back from Changsun's family.

Changsun Wuji also took it and looked at it carefully. His heart was filled with chills at this sight. More than 10,000 kilograms of gold, more than 1.5 million gold.

"This is impossible, this is fake." Changsun Wuji murmured.

"What? Duke Zhao Guo thinks it's impossible. Check to see if it's your parent Sun Huan's signature and private seal.

Should we bring him back again and ask?

Let me tell you, it is impossible to default on the debt. No one can think of not paying back the king's money. The son owes the father, and this money is also borrowed with the credit of your Duke Zhao's house.

I can tolerate anything, but I will never tolerate people who don’t pay back their money.

If you don't pay back the money, if I do something sorry for Zhao Guogong, don't worry that I didn't remind you in advance.

Believe it or not, this king chopped up the eldest son Huan and fed it to the dogs. "

Li Shen's eyes were red, his teeth were bared, and he looked as if he was going to bite someone. Grandma, there are still people who dare not pay back the money they owe me.

Changsun Wuji was startled by Li Shen's appearance. He was now even more certain that his son's incident must have been planned by King Ji.

Otherwise, how could he casually borrow 1.5 million gold? King Ji must have known in advance that Changsun Huan would not be able to pay it back.

This gold must have been deceived by King Ji's people, and finally returned to King Ji's hands.

"You...you...you are so cruel."

"Pfft~~"

After Changsun Wuji figured it out, he pointed at Li Shen tremblingly. Before he could take his last breath, he rolled his eyes, fell back and fainted.
