"Hmph, I knew that traitor wouldn't just come back for no reason.

You guys really have a deep brotherhood, and you actually teamed up to deceive me.

This is really unreasonable. "

Li Shimin had an angry look on his face. He had long felt that something was wrong. He had felt uneasy since Li Shen came back.

Now it seems that is indeed the case.

"Aye, there is nothing we can do. The pill that Aye took before is indeed poisonous, and the effect is not immediate.

Dr. Sun called it excessive heavy metals.

These elixirs are all obtained from the prescriptions recorded by predecessors. Everyone has different refining methods. Once there is an overdose of certain materials,

Anyone who takes it will die on the spot, which is very dangerous.

Er couldn't let Aye be poisoned and ignore it. This was Er's idea alone and had nothing to do with his tenth brother.

If Aye wants to punish, then punish him. "

Li Shimin looked at the prince kneeling on the ground with a sincere look on his face, and fell into deep thought after hearing Li Chengqian's words.

He believed what Li Chengqian said, and this matter was easy to investigate. Just ask Sun Simiao.

At that time, he was also eager to pray for immortality, so even if he told him, he would not listen.

"Get up." Li Shimin calmed down and said to the prince.

"Thank you." Li Chengqian stood up.

"Then tell me why these two pills taste the same?"

"I really don't know. After the tenth brother came back, I asked him what his plans were, but he didn't tell me."

Li Chengqian shook his head.

What Li Shimin cares about most now is the authenticity of Qibao Dan, and the rest is not important.

But now it seems that this Qibaodan is probably fake.

When he thought of this, Li Shimin's blood surged, and his dream of immortality was shattered.

"Your Majesty, how many of these elixirs did Prince Ji's Mansion send?"

"It's...a lot. There are six boxes in total. I sent three boxes to the Queen. She said there were still some after she finished eating."

So far, Concubine Wei's thoughts have been verified.

His son tricked his father again, and this time he seemed to be cheating well.

"Haha, a lot! Haha, Wang De, how much did we spend on buying medicinal materials?" Li Shimin asked with a sneer, suppressing his anger.

"Your Majesty, the Seven Treasure Pills, plus the Nine-Revolution Life-Sustaining Pill, cost a total of... 4.1 million guan." Wang De carefully reported an astronomical figure.

Li Shimin's vision went dark and he almost fainted.

"Bang" slammed the table hard, and Li Shimin said angrily:

"Come here, send the Yulin Guards immediately to bring that traitor back to me."

More than four million yuan, 10% of my wealth was deceived by that traitor.

I had worked hard to accumulate wealth for ten years and lived frugally, and yet I was deceived by him so easily?

Wouldn't this traitor feel heartbroken? Where is his conscience?

"Your Majesty, please calm down. At this time, His Highness Prince Ji may have arrived at Qinghai Road and it will be too late."

Wang De quickly persuaded.

Since King Ji dares to do this, it means that he already has a backup plan. It may not be easy to capture King Ji and come back.

"I was wondering how could he be so generous and give me a million dollars for my consort? It turns out that it was all my own money.

Treason, what a traitor, he actually made more than three million yuan from me. "

Li Shimin realized at this time that Li Shen used his money to buy a general for Zhou Daowu.

He also earned himself more than three million yuan.

"That... that Aye." Li Chengqian raised his hand silently.

"What else?" Li Shimin asked angrily.

"Aye, actually... In fact, based on this calculation, Lao Shi did not earn more than 3 million guan. He gave me 300,000 guan as a gift before leaving."

"..." The whole place was silent, and Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian.

"Okay, and you said you weren't colluding with him? You brothers have started to divide the spoils.

It is true that brothers are of the same mind, and their strength is as powerful as gold.

Someone bring me my ruler. "

"Aye, I really didn't conspire with my tenth brother. I don't know anything about what he did." Li Chengqian hurriedly explained.

"That should be beaten more. As a prince, you are actually being manipulated by your younger brother. He made more than three million guan, but he only gave you 300,000 guan.

You don’t realize it, is this how I usually teach you? "

Li Shimin finally found an outlet and a scapegoat.

"Aye, listen to my explanation."

"I don't need your explanation."

"Snapped!"

"Ah!~~~Old Shi, I hate you!!"

~

"Ah sneeze~~A sneeze~~"

"My lord, what's wrong? Are you suffering from the cold?"

At this moment, Li Shen was lying on Su Xiaoxiao's lap and sneezed twice.

Su Xiaoxiao asked with concern.

Li Shen rubbed his nose:

"It's okay, I thought once and cursed twice, someone must be scolding me.

However, I am so blessed that I am not afraid of them. "

After speaking, he opened his mouth and ate the fruit Liu Ruyan fed him.

He has been here for several days and everything has been arranged.

He usually wanders around the city when he has nothing to do, and if he sees something that needs to be changed, he will order it to be changed immediately.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange has opened, and the outer cities are crowded with people.

Many tribes in Tubo came over to exchange cattle and sheep for daily necessities, grain, salt, silk, cloth, porcelain and ornaments.

Merchants of the Tang Dynasty would also exchange gold, jade, copper and other metals with Tibet.

All transactions must go through the exchange, which will issue a voucher and pay taxes.

This certificate is useful to both parties in the transaction. For Tubo, they need to prove that they are not smuggling when they pass the Chiling checkpoint.

The same was true for merchants of the Tang Dynasty. When they returned to the Central Plains with their goods, they also needed to pass through the city.

As long as there is a certificate, it can prove that his goods are not stolen, and they are also exempt from tariffs.

In this way, the importance of exchanges is reflected.

The purpose of the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty here at this stage is to handle disputes, especially disputes with the Tubo people.

Secondly, we will continue to undertake guarantee tasks, but mainly transactions with people from the Western Regions, not many at the moment.

"Your Majesty, King Wei and King Jin are here to visit." Shitou came in to report.

"Well, please come to the living room, I will be here soon." Li Shen said, and then stood up reluctantly.

Su Xiaoxiao and the other two arranged Li Shen's clothes, and Li Shen came to the living room.

"I've met Fourth Brother and Ninth Brother."

Seeing the two of them, Li Shen stepped forward and saluted.

"Haha, tenth brother is so free. I haven't seen you in the past few days since I came back." Li Tai laughed.

"Brothers, please take a seat." Li Shen ordered his servants to serve tea, and then said with a smile:

"My little brother is always lazy, haven't the Fourth and Ninth Brothers heard about it?

Otherwise, why would Aye let his two elder brothers come here to help his younger brother? "

Li Shen didn't feel embarrassed at all and said it openly.

"Well, you have a lot of free time, but you keep the two of us very busy."
