I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

"Queen, that's what happened. Now 90% of the Changsun family's property has stopped, and only salt and iron are still barely supporting it.

If things continue like this, the Changsun family's strength will be greatly damaged, and its reputation will plummet.

Over the past few years, I have been thinking about this matter at home, and I found that the shadow of Prince Ji was everywhere.

Huan'er's collaboration with the enemy was also done by King Ji. "Changsun Wuji expressed his guess in a very definite tone.

"What did King Ji do?" Queen Changsun became more and more angry as she listened, and her face no longer had the same smile as before.

"Brother, what you mean is that Shen'er asked Huan'er to collaborate with the enemy? Then he will die when Shen'er tells Huan'er to die?"

Originally, Changsun Wuji thought the queen was angry with Li Shen, but who knew she would actually protect Li Shen.

"this....."

"It is a fact that Huan'er collaborates with the enemy. Whether it is instigated by others or he decides on his own, it is his own problem.

Brother, Shen'er once said when he was a child, after something happens, you should first find the reason within yourself. If Huan'er hadn't meant it, would he have done it?

These are all excuses for your incompetence in educating your children.

Brother, do you really not know about uncle and Xiang'er?

If the two of them hadn't acted recklessly, how could they have ended up like this.

Now it was Huan'er's turn. Even if it was King Ji who did it, it was because he had a desire in his heart. "

Empress Changsun was almost furious. She didn't even know that her family had lost such a big person to her.

The outside world will say that the Changsun family is relying on the queen to refuse to pay back the money they owe. Not only is the reputation of the Changsun family being ruined, but she, the queen, is not much better.

"What the Queen taught me is that even if I want to pay back the money, I can't get so much gold.

Now the price of gold in the outside world has risen to 15 guan, and the principal plus interest is 27.8 million guan.

How can the Sun family, the minister, have so much money? Changsun Wuji said with a sad face.

Even if he sells the Duke's Mansion, it won't be enough to compensate him.

Queen Changsun was shocked when she heard so much money, but she became even more angry when she thought about what they had done.

The hand holding the tea cup was shaking, his breathing was a little rapid, and his chest was heaving.

"The Empress." The female personal officer hurriedly stepped forward and winked at the visitor from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Mr. Zhao Guo, the time has come and it's time to leave the palace." The visitor said knowingly to Changsun Wuji.

"The saint has arrived~~~~~~"

At this moment, an announcement came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin walked in wearing golden uniforms, looking very lively.

"See Your Majesty."

"Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Everyone saluted Li Shimin.

"Mr. Guanyin, what's going on?" Li Shimin paid no attention to anyone. He could see at a glance that Queen Changsun's face was pale and her breath was disordered.

"When someone comes, call the imperial doctor immediately." Seeing the queen's behavior, Li Shimin quickly ordered.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine with you, don't bother me." Empress Changsun gently comforted Li Shimin.

"No matter what, Divine Doctor Sun said that you are weak and cannot work hard or worry too much."

After the two of them spread the word, Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji, but there was no smile on his face.

He had long received news from the outside world that his son had begun to use unconventional means in order to get Zhao Guogong's government to pay back the money.

It is said that Li Shen also wanted to hang a banner on the wall of the imperial city with slogans about repaying my hard-earned money and repaying debts.

As a result, he was ruthlessly rejected by the prison guard, otherwise Changsun Wuji would be even more embarrassed.

At that time, he felt that his son was really a talent, and he could think of all these tricks.

But then Wang De reported that Duke Zhao entered the harem to meet the queen, and he knew that things were going to be bad.

I hurriedly arrived and saw that it was still a step too late. I couldn't hide the affairs of Changsun's family.

"Mr. Zhao Guo, I wonder why you came here today?" Li Shimin asked with a cold face, knowingly.

Changsun Wuji knew that His Majesty must have been displeased because he had revealed the news to the Queen, so he suddenly changed his mind and bowed deeply.

“Your Majesty, please have mercy and save my eldest son’s family.

If this continues, my eldest grandson's family will be ruined. "

At this time, the imperial doctor also arrived, and Li Shimin immediately arranged for someone to help the queen back to the palace for diagnosis and treatment.

After seeing off Queen Li Shimin, he turned around and said:

“I have heard a little bit about the outside world, and Prince Ji’s move is indeed inappropriate, but it is also excusable.

Changsun Huan indeed borrowed more than 10,000 kilograms of gold from the Chamber of Commerce. I sent people to investigate. He has a vault in the industrial park.

When the gold was being transported, the cart drivers, laborers, stewards, and many businessmen in the First Chamber of Commerce all saw it.

King Ji did not cheat on this matter. "

"But Your Majesty, the price of gold has now risen to fifteen guans and one tael. It has never been at this price.

This was all because King Ji was purchasing gold on a large scale and manipulating the price of gold.

The gold originally worth 1.5 million guan, now the old minister has to come up with 27.8 million guan to repay it.

Even if the old slave spends all his family property, he still won't have so much money. "

"Fifteen guans? It's so expensive. Wasn't it 400 yuan for thirteen guans the day before yesterday?" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard the fifteen guans.

He has a lot of gold in his hands. If he sells fifteen guan, he can sell at least 50 million guang.

Fifty million dollars, Li Shimin's eyes were full of little stars.

"Your Majesty, the price of gold is rising every day, and it is all under the control of King Ji." Changsun Wuji was helpless.

If Li Shen's method of high-price acquisition were to be dumped by someone with a large amount of gold, Li Shen would immediately collapse.

But how can ordinary merchants have so much gold?

Even if some people have it, it's only a few hundred or several kilograms. The place where Prince Ji's Mansion buys gold is just one store, and it has to be inspected and weighed, so it can't accept more than a few people in a day.

But he will let the Gao family catch you. If he meets a big benefactor like Li Shimin, Li Shen will cry.

Li Shimin also felt that his son had gone too far, and if the price went up like this, the Duke of Zhao's government would not be able to pay back the debt.

"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to tell Prince Ji that my eldest grandson's family will not borrow money without repaying it. Can we calculate it based on the original 1.5 million copper coins and add interest?"

This was the best way Changsun Wuji came up with. The money must be repaid, otherwise King Ji would never give up.

Li Shimin thought for a while and shook his head.

"This is very difficult. This traitor loves money as much as his life. Other things are fine. As long as it is related to money, this traitor will not betray my face.

Can I issue an imperial edict for this matter? "

Changsun Wuji wanted to say that he would issue an imperial edict. If he resisted the edict, he would be killed.

But if this matter is issued by imperial edict, all the provinces will be able to get over it.

Li Shimin thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

He had an idea:

"Auxiliary machine, judging from the current situation, you only have two choices."
