Chapter 99 Group Attack

Sure enough, when Li Shimin heard that Li You paid out his own pocket for 1.5 million guan and 300,000 dan of food and grass, he was very moved. He was amazed by Li You's ability to make money and decided to use his strengths.

He said, "You'er, your father is too poor. The guest room in Liangyi Hall is leaking and there is no money to repair it. Also, your mother's skirt is exposed. There is no need for money in any kind of war or famine."

Li Shimin said it is true. At the beginning of the founding of the country, everything was in trouble and life was very difficult. Li Shimin was very frugal. Empress Changsun cooperated with Li Shimin to set an example and often wore old dresses.

Li You admired Li Shimin very much. The original Zhenguan prosperous era was created step by step based on this basis.

Li Shimin continued: "You'er, your father knows that you have a solution. Your future task is to increase wealth to the court. You don't have to worry about other things, but you have the father to support you."

This is what Li You wanted, saying, "Okay, Father, people regard food as the most important thing. My son knows nothing, and I know how to eat it. I will be effective as soon as I eat it. My son must find ways to get money for my father and improve the diet of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin asked: "What do you think specifically?"

Li You said: "Father, the son minister will not participate in government affairs, and make time to study the food culture of the Tang Dynasty.

Erchen plans to set up a dietary research institute. You can approve a formal staffing, preferably independent. Erchen solves the funding problem by himself.

The institute must have the freedom to engage in agriculture, industry and commerce, and the power to appoint and remove officials from the institute.

My son promised that within three years, the Tang Dynasty's fiscal revenue would increase by two or even more."

"Really?" Li Shimin became excited. He said, "You can tell me in detail."

At this time, Wang De came in and said, "Your Majesty, dinner is here. Have you and His Highness King Qi used dinner before continuing to talk?"

Li Shimin said, "Come on."

Wang De said, "I obey the order." He ordered the eunuchs to present the meal.

Li Shimin said: "You'er, let's talk while eating..."

The next morning, Tai Chi Hall.

The ministers came to the entrance of Tai Chi Hall. Seeing that the time had come, everyone gathered around the door and waited for the door to open and ready to go to court.

At this time, the eunuch at the palace came out and shouted, "Your Majesty has an order, and I will be exempted from court today."

The ministers dispersed.

It turned out that Li Shimin and Li You were excited to talk. They had not finished their talk until dawn, and they were no longer energetic when they went to court.

Guangcui Palace.

Queen Yin made the meal last night and was waiting for Li You to come. But until late at night, he did not leave Liangyi Hall. She felt a mess and stared at the bed railing in a daze, and fell asleep.

The next morning, she sent someone to inquire about the news, Qiaoyun came back and said, "Empress, Wang De said that Your Majesty and Your Highness are coming to have a meal at noon."

Concubine Yin was overjoyed and thought to herself, "It seems that You'er has no big problem, otherwise Your Majesty wouldn't have come with him." She hurriedly ordered to continue the banquet, and specially sent someone to ask Zhou Qian to bring several chefs from the Prince Qi's Mansion to help.

At noon, Li Shimin brought Li You to Guangcui Palace. He said to Yin Fei: "Beloved concubine, you have given birth to a good son!"

When Empress Yin heard this, her heart suddenly calmed down and tears couldn't stop flowing.

...

In the afternoon, Li Shimin summoned Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Gao Jingming, Wei Zheng and others. They talked for a long time, and finally, Li Shimin said: "The unhealthy trend in the court must be rectified... This matter must be kept absolutely confidential..."

The important officials should say: "I will obey the order!"

The next morning court was in Tai Chi Hall.

In front of everyone, Li You came to the gate of Tai Chi Hall with great pleasure.

Everyone heard about him and kept away from him. Only Yin Hongzhi, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and others came forward to say hello to him.

Li Tai had been away from him for a long time, so Li Ke naturally would not pay attention to Li You. Their subordinates looked at Li You coldly, just waiting to see his unlucky appearance.

Seeing this situation, Li Chengqian was a little hesitant and did not want to be involved with Li You. However, he had always had a good relationship with Li You and couldn't hide his face, so he came over to say hello to him: "Fifth brother, you are back."

After this sentence, there is no following.

Li You didn't care about this at all, and talked and laughed with Cheng Yaojin and others.

"Go to court!" the eunuch in charge of the palace shouted.

Li You followed Yin Hongzhi and others toward the hall.

The morning court began shortly after the bombing against Li You began.

First, a group of censors stood up, they threw out the bricks and spit out stars, and gave Li You a slap.

The best friends of Li Ke, Li Tai and others set off a tide of saliva and drowned Li You for another time.

Then Quan Wanji came out and waved his hammer. He said: "Your Majesty, I impeach the King of Qi Li You to rob the soldiers and privately divide the property. I have intercepted his stolen goods."

"Your Majesty, I prove that it is the stolen goods I have intercepted. The stolen goods are now outside the hall. I request that physical evidence be presented." Chai Zhewei came out to testify.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Come in."

Soon, dozens of large boxes were carried in, and Chai Zhewei asked his subordinates to open the lid to reveal the property inside.

These boxes passed by the team of civil and military officials standing on both sides, causing a burst of exclamation.

The boxes were carried to the center of the hall. Quan Wanji said: "Your Majesty, please see, these things are the stolen goods stolen by King Li You and others of Qi."

"Buzz, buzz", the hall was in chaos.

"I impeached King Li You of Qi..."

"I'm going to discuss it."

...

The red-eyed men became even more angry, saliva, bricks, knives, axes, etc., and flew over together.

Li Chengqian was a little worried, and Li Tai, Li Ke and others were gloating.

However, what made everyone indignant was that Li You didn't care at all, he had candy in his mouth and a smile on his face.

Quan Wanji was furious and thought to himself: "What a ignorant guy. This is just an appetizer. The real killer is still behind. At that time, I see you can still laugh?!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and everyone stopped clamoring. He asked, "Li You, what do you have to say?"

Li You said: "Father, so many people don't like me. They won't believe me, no matter what I say. Therefore, I should ask someone else to say it.

Please allow the father to allow the witnesses of the son minister to go to the palace.”

"Accurate." Li Shimin said.

"The witness to the palace!" Wang De shouted sharply.

Soon, several officers came up, and the first one was Gao Yong, then Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi, Zhang Baogui, Hou Cheng and Li Duan. Zhang Baogui and others all had the identities of military officials, and they wore military uniforms today.

"It's General Gao." Everyone in the hall heard that he was attacked by Tuyuhun people, and his life and death were unknown. When he saw him appear, he couldn't help but exclaim.
