The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 25
The Confucius Mansion was present and bowed to Li Shimin.

And then, Kong Yingda let some irrelevant people avoid.

Kong Yingda obviously did not expect Li Shimin's arrival.

At this time he was very worried, why?
Because the ice around him still exists, exuding a trace of coolness.

If Li Shimin asks about this, how should he respond?

Said to be obtained from the public?

It doesn't feel right either.

Did you buy it yourself?
Where does your money come from?

What to say?
Either way it's wrong.

Said he got it from the Sixth Prince?

It seems... OK.

Sure enough.

Li Shimin still found the ice on the side.

He scowled.

"Aiqing, I think your life seems to be very good. Before I gave you the ice, you bought the ice yourself. They cost a lot of money, right?"

Li Shimin's words were yin and yang.

It was very distressing to hear.

"Your Majesty, this was not bought by the minister!"

"Where did that come from? Did it fall from the sky?"

"This is... is..."

"What is it?"

"I got it from the sixth prince. The minister just brought it back, ready to pack it up and dedicate it to your majesty and queen."

Kong Yingda is shrewd.

This trick is very good to use flowers to offer Buddha.

If he didn't do it, he probably couldn't tell.

Because once he got involved with Li Min, in front of Li Shimin, he couldn't tell.

Not to mention the light ones, but the heavy ones are directly bribery.

That's a big sin.

Now Li Min is a citizen, not a prince, so there is no reason to give him anything.

Fortunately, I said it directly to Li Shimin.

The Kong family was puzzled, what my master said just now!
After Li Shimin heard this, his expression softened a little.

But still pretty ugly.

"Where did he get the money to buy these ices?"

he asks.

"I heard that he came from selling poems. His poems have been selling well in the past two days. The minister just collected his poems, and he has collected about [-] poems, and he has not finished collecting them yet. However, soon, these two The sky can be collected. Also, I saw the ice in his residence, which is almost ten percent."

In just over a day, Li Min wrote more than [-] poems.

But in Kong Yingda's place, it only reached more than 200.

Kong Yingda tried to say as many quantities as possible to show that his ten pounds of ice was nothing.

It's just a fraction of someone else's.

"How much can I sell poetry for? Ice is a very precious thing, even if I can't take out too much ice at one time to cool off the heat. How could this kid have so much? To give it away as a gift is simply a waste of money! "

"This, I don't know."

Kong Yingda was embarrassed when she heard it, and it was a waste of money to send herself?At the same time, he also pretended not to know.

It's none of your business!
"Forget it, what can't this idiot do? His way of doing things can't be treated as usual."

Since a year ago, Li Min has behaved differently from others.

In every respect.Like beating officials for no reason, deliberately making equals with the concubine, is there anything he can't do?
Therefore, Kong Yingda can get these ices, and he must not be theorized by the usual.

Although Li Shimin said this, he must be curious.

How rich is Li Min?

Enjoy what others can't enjoy.

Kong Yingda breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Li Shimin would say more on this issue.

So the topic was pulled away.

"Why is Your Majesty looking for a minister this time? You can directly let the old minister enter the palace to face the saint. I feel ashamed that I am so tired."

"There's nothing wrong, it's just that Gan'er's study situation seems to be not good recently. I'll come over to you and ask. I just happened to be bored in the palace, so I came out to have a look."

Kong Yingda wiped away the cold sweat, it turned out to be like this!
Make him think something big has happened!

"His Royal Highness has been unable to keep up with his studies recently. He often dozed off during my lectures. I wanted to talk about this later in the morning. Since your Majesty has come down, I will talk about it."

Kong Yingda knew that the relationship between Li Chengqian and Li Min was not good.

At this moment, he was favored by Li Yin, and he casually said bad things about Li Chengqian.

Anyway, he didn't have a good impression of Li Chengqian.

On the bright side, he was his teacher, but the prince didn't seem to like him, so he didn't want to see his face either.

Talk to his father directly about what he is not serious about.

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was angry.

"Why is this child so unruly, how dare I hand over my country to him in the future? No, I have to go back to the palace and educate him! Let's see if he dares not to listen carefully!"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger, His Royal Highness is still a child, and he always likes to play."

"Child? No, he is the future king. In terms of maturity, he is not as good as Tu'er..."

Li Shimin blurted out.

It can be seen that Li Min still has a certain status in his heart, but Li Min has challenged his authority. If not, he might be fine.

Kong Yingda sounds like it.Li Shimin is a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted man.

"Your Majesty is right!"

"Okay, I'll go first!"

Li Shimin hurried back to teach Li Chengqian a lesson.

"Your Majesty, I just have something to ask for instructions."

Kong Yingda stopped Li Shimin.

It happened that he was there, and it was best to make things clear.

"Oh? What else do you do?"

Li Shimin wondered, Kong Yingda usually finds himself nothing more than the prince's study. After the study is finished, what does he want to do?
"It's like this. I met a shopkeeper by chance before. He was very interested in the nitrate mines in the east of the city. He wanted to lease the nitrate mines. He also promised to rent the mining rights for one year with 3000 taels of silver. The money is a one-time payment. In conclusion, I would like to ask His Majesty, is this possible?"

"But the niter mine in the east of the city that has been abandoned for many years? I used to stay there for a while back then. Where would someone want it?"

"It's there!"

"It just happens to be rented out to collect money to supplement the treasury. But 3000 taels is a little too little, so let's say 5000 taels of silver is not a lot, you go tell them, if they agree, you will handle this matter with the Ministry of Households. There is something, go first!"

Li Shimin said that he asked for 5000 taels directly.

5000 taels of silver, just like what the sixth prince said.

It seems that Li Min still understands Li Shimin.

First, he said a three thousand, because he knew that Li Shimin would still raise the price.

It went surprisingly well.

Kong Yingda was shocked. It turned out that Li Min was so powerful that he could guess Li Shimin's decision.

"Your Majesty, this ice..."

"I'll give you this ice. How can a king take his subjects? It's ridiculous!"

Not waiting for Kong Yingda to react.

Li Shimin has left.

Kong Yingda breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole family came out cheering, and finally they could drink a bowl of rock sugar water!
Kong Yingda didn't have the intention to drink that thing.

he cried:
"Come on, prepare a car, go to the household!"
