Chapter 114 The Narcissistic Li Shimin
"These three are Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, and Xiao Xian. They got the treasure and quickly gathered their troops and started very quickly. Until the time when the father and I defeated them, there was still no surplus in the underground palace. "
Li Mu exclaimed in his heart, but he didn't expect that there were really seven underground palaces, and some people had obtained three of them... But it seems that the treasure of this underground palace is nothing but a treasure. After obtaining the treasure, did Li Tang gain the power in the end?
Li Shimin seemed to guess what Li Mu thought, and said, "Do you think that they were defeated even after they got the treasure? This treasure is nothing?"
"Yes," Li Mu nodded.
Li Shimin explained: "The treasure was prepared by Emperor Wen of Sui for his descendants. It was divided into two parts. The money was gold, silver and copper, and the money was grain bricks. For the convenience of storage, gold, silver and copper were melted into large ingots. An ordinary person could not move one of them, which could prevent theft. The grain was grain bricks, and the storage method was appropriate and could be stored for up to fifteen years. The storage of grain was not only for future generations, but in the prosperous era, when there was too much food to eat, the grain was too low to hurt farmers, and the court had to collect grain from the people and store it."
"The seven underground palaces are located in seven places in the world. Most of the underground palaces have more food and less money. Because of this, the six underground palaces that have been discovered have more food and less money. In recent years, people's livelihood has been poor, and natural disasters and floods have been caused, and all the grain bricks have been provided to the victims. The seventh underground palace that has not been found so far is the place where the surplus of the treasury was placed before Emperor Wen of Sui died, and there was no count of gold and silver."
“There is no count of it…?”
Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu and said, "If we calculate the annual income during the Kaihuang period, the total copper coins will be at least 50 million guan!"
Li Mu gasped, 50 million guan! The annual income of the Tang Dynasty is only 25 million guan, which is the annual income of two years. And it should be noted that this is just an underground palace, and it is the remaining money.
What's the meaning?
Take Li Shimin now for example. The national treasury has an annual income of 25 million guan. When he settled the accounts at the end of the year, he spent 25.2 million guan. Not only did he have no surplus, but he had to borrow 200,000 guan from the treasury himself. However, Yang Jian had only 50 million guan in an underground palace. You can imagine what kind of prosperous situation the world was when he was in power.
No wonder Li Shimin said thank you. With these 50 million chunks of coins, he was able to arm the Tang cavalry to his teeth.
Li Mu was also a little distracted. If he found this treasure first, then lay on the mountains of gold and silver, and exchanged all the money into the system... Hehehe, what a big deal, he turned into an RMB player, hahaha...
"What are you laughing at?" Li Shimin asked with a frown as he looked at Li Mu's expression.
"I am happy for Your Majesty." Li Mu quickly curled his smile and said seriously: "I congratulate Your Majesty on getting the treasure. My Tang Dynasty will surely flourish under Your Majesty's leadership!"
"It's too early to say this!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said worriedly: "This map only marks the range. The entrance to the underground palace is big or small, and it's not that easy to find. Since I ascended the throne, I have sent a lot of people to inquire, but I haven't found any trace. Unexpectedly, it was actually the emperor's brother..." Li Shimin paused and changed his words: "It turned out to be taken away by Prince Yin, and he gave it to his favorite concubine. It's really, every drink and peck, is it God's decisive?"
Li Mu quickly flattered and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is wrong. How can there be any decisiveness in heaven? This is just right for 'the one who has attained the truth, and few who have lost the truth'. As the emperor, the world is in his heart. This former Sui treasure must be His Majesty's. After going around in circles, he will return to His Majesty's hands. Who dares to steal it?"
Li Shimin laughed and said, "You kid, it's not unfair to say that you are so slick. Who said that I was foolish?"
"I didn't hear it. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to say it anyway. I must be a bastard, so I don't have to pay attention to him."
"You're so lazy." Li Shimin was too lazy to argue with him, saying, "Actually, what makes me angry about this matter is not Nazha, but because you all think of me as narrow-minded people. Although I was fighting with my brothers' lives back then, even if I mentioned it today, I have a clear conscience, because the situation has reached that level. If I don't kill them, they will definitely kill me. And I think I will be a good emperor. Since that's the case, I can only kill them. If I were defeated in the past, Chengqian and Qingque would die, and the success of the king and defeated the enemy, and this has been the case since ancient times."
"But this does not mean that I am a ruthless and cold-blooded person. Over the years, every day they die, I will remember them. Especially Prince Yin and my royal brother. How can I not miss him?"
As he spoke, Li Shimin said with tears in his eyes, "I am ten years younger than him. I learned from him by writing, riding horses, drawing bows and shooting arrows. Before he was fifteen, I was always by his side. I admired him so much at that time. My ambition at that time was just to assist him, and I never had the idea of becoming an emperor, but the world was not as good as others wished. As my contributions became greater and greater, he gradually became wary of me and was also prepared for me. And civil and military supporters gathered around me, and they pushed me and went to a state of opposition to him."
"What can I do if I don't want it? Will I believe it if I don't rob you? When he was the crown prince, he could not tolerate me. If he ascended the throne, I would not be able to escape death!"
Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and said, "I can understand my father, but who can understand the pain in my heart?"
Li Mu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's words, I will convey them on your behalf. But I think that since the matter has happened, it has passed. Hate cannot solve the problem. Your Majesty follows the wishes of the Supreme Emperor this time, and the Supreme Emperor will probably understand Your Majesty. At least, it is also a good start."
"I hope so." Li Shimin sighed, raised his hand to wipe his tears, and seemed to remember something, glared at Li Mu, and said, "Boy, what did you do yesterday!"
Li Mu smiled bitterly in his heart, Boss, why are you still breathing heavily? Where did the good atmosphere just now go, and suddenly I get angry again.
Naturally, he didn't dare to say the complaints in his heart. Li Mu accompanied him to ask carefully: "Your Majesty, I wonder what you are talking about?"
"Madam Mudan!" Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Even if you want to show your literary talent, it would be fine if you write poems for your wives and concubines. What does Madam Mudan do? Don't you know the queen is there too?"
"This..." Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I suddenly thought of Your Majesty's infatuation with Mrs. Peony. I felt something, and I came out without thinking too much. You also know that writing poems is like a silly sound to me, and I don't need to think too much. I am really sorry to Your Majesty."
"Hmph! If I hadn't understood that you were not bad, I would have been so angry that I would have been so angry." Li Shimin looked at Li Mu reproachfully and said, "You kid are smart, but sometimes you really don't think well when doing things. What did you think? He actually told the queen that you have a love for Mrs. Mudan? Why do you say something that makes me feel happy? I, Queen, Mrs. Mudan, are about the same age as your mother. Even if you want to help me, you will say something smoothly. You said this clearly a lie! Then she was exposed in person by Mrs. Mudan, which made me very embarrassed."
Li Mu thought to himself, I didn't lie, I hugged and kissed, my lips were still broken. But he didn't dare to tell the truth, and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am as embarrassed as you. Who would have thought that the queen would attract Mrs. Mudan to confront her face."
As he said that, Li Mu looked at Li Shimin's face carefully and said, "Your Majesty, did you pretend to be drunk yesterday?"
"Nonsense! What should I do if I don't pretend to be drunk?" Li Shimin said angrily: "Let the queen chat with Mrs. Mudan for a while. All of my unbearable past events have been trapped by the queen."
Li Mu quickly admitted his mistake and said, "I am a crime. I will definitely think twice before I act in the future. I will never let Your Majesty be embarrassed. I would rather be embarrassed by myself than to keep Your Majesty's long face."
"Longyan?"
"Ah, it's your Majesty's face, dragon, dragon face."
"Hmph!" Li Shimin glared at Li Mu and said, "Learn these flattery things too little. At a young age, it's very bad."
"Yes, I will change it, I will definitely change it."
Li Shimin sighed and said, "I felt very sad when I heard what Mrs. Mudan said last night. I really didn't expect that Mrs. Mudan had such thoughts. Could it be that I have been unrequited after so many years?"
Otherwise, what do you think?
Li Mu thought in his heart, "Boss, it's not that you, a handsome middle-aged man, are not that you are not charming, but that they like a young man like me. If you don't love this one, what's the solution?"
Suddenly, Li Mu found that Li Shimin was actually looking at him, and suddenly felt guilty and asked, "What are your instructions?"
"Li Mu, there are only you and me at this time. You have had a lot of contact with Mrs. Mudan. Do you think she has no idea about me?"
This is a bit embarrassing. Do you think it's your woman who likes me, and you ask me if she likes you, how do you ask me to answer you?
Li Mu pretended to think, and after a long time, he replied uncertainly: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he is extraordinary. It should... the woman in this world cannot refuse Your Majesty. She is reserved, I think it is reserved."
"Yes, I feel that way too!"
...
He shamelessly admitted it!
No wonder he is an emperor, and his face is also emperor-level.
