Two of them are his uncles, and several of his uncles' nephews, all of whom are his relatives and officials of the imperial court.

Dozens of guards stood around the Minister of Dali Temple, seemingly guarding the entire lobby, but in fact they surrounded the three floors inside and outside.

Chengdao has met all the uncles.

Li Ke stepped forward, bowed to everyone, and said, "I'm here to pay homage to all my uncles today."

Ah!

His Royal Highness is interested. Everyone stood up one after another, then clasped their fists and saluted Li Ke, and said with a smile, Your Highness, Fourth Highness, what do you want to do when you come this time?

Li Ke nodded and said: Well, I want to ask your uncles for a sum of money and food, and I also want you to part with me!

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed slightly.

Chengdao, what do you mean? An official shouted in a deep voice.

Uncles, you also know that when I was in the Western Regions, I was demoted to the Western Regions because of the war. Now I have lost my title, and my mother, concubine, and sister are also trapped in the Tang Dynasty and cannot leave. So, now I need a lot of money to save them, so uncles, please help me!

Chengdao, you are the eldest grandson of our Li family. If you have any difficulties, just come to us for help. Why do you need to ask for money from us? ! An old man frowned.

Another old man also nodded and said: Yes, Your Highness Fourth Prince, it’s not that we don’t want to help you, it’s that we simply can’t afford that much money!

I know that not only you, but also the Dali Temple Qingfu can't afford that much money. However, I know that all of you uncles are loyal and patriotic pillars. I believe that you definitely don’t want your wives and daughters to be trapped here and suffer all the humiliation! Therefore, I beg you uncles to lend me some money. I will remember your kindness and will definitely repay you in the future! Li Ke said sincerely.

Ugh!

The old man sighed heavily and said: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, you also know that our Dali Temple has accepted bribes from many officials over the years. Our official positions are promoted with the money of those officials, and we don't want to do that." What an act of corruption and perversion of law!

I also know that what your Dali Temple houses are the moths of the Tang Dynasty. I am also aware of this matter, but uncles, there is nothing I can do about it!

you're right!

Everyone nodded.

However, you can donate all the money! Li Ke looked at the crowd and said sincerely, as long as you donate the money, you can get an official position or even be promoted to an important minister in the court. Why wouldn't you do it?

After hearing this, everyone fell into silence. Obviously, they all had selfish motives and did not want to donate money to the court.

Li Ke continued to persuade: If you can really help me, I will definitely be grateful. If you are unwilling, I will not force you!

At this moment, Li Ke's ears suddenly heard the sound of slight footsteps.

Um? Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help but turn his head and look behind him, but he saw a handsome young man in brocade clothes walking slowly from the side hall. He was tall and slender, with a well-proportioned and plump figure, fair skin, and arrogance between his eyebrows. He seems to be the kind of person who is born to be noble. .. ..
