The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 77
"Your Majesty, a store called 21st Century opened in the East City of Chang'an City yesterday. I wonder if your Majesty knows about this." Wang Wu, Yu Shitai's censor, said to Li Shimin.

"I said Wang Wu, is your head squeezed by the door? In this world, which day is there no business opening, and which day is there no business closing. Does the emperor have to know?" Cheng Yaojin said to Wang Wu.

"I said that these bullshit censors in Yushitai are all full of food. If I say it, this Yucitai should be dismantled, lest they frame good people." Yu Chigong said after curling his lips.

"Shut up, both of you, this is the place where the Tai Chi Palace discusses government affairs. Don't you know?" Li Shimin said slightly angrily.

"Wang Yushi, although Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong's words are somewhat inappropriate. But such a trivial matter, you really shouldn't report it to the emperor." Qin Qiong said with a displeased face.

Now Wang Wu of Yushitai is definitely a thorn in the flesh for generals like Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong.

So as long as he speaks, no matter right or wrong.Both Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong can make jokes.And Qin Qiong, Xu Maogong and others are much more sensible than these two.

Wang Wu ignored Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, and said directly: "Your Majesty, I naturally wouldn't ask such trivial matters for no reason. The key is that the person who opened this 21st century shop is not an ordinary person but His Royal Highness."

"Let's not talk about whether His Royal Highness is suspected of competing for interests with the people in doing so. The fact that he falsely preached the imperial decree and pretended to be the plaque given by the emperor is a criminal deceiving the emperor."

Hearing Wang Wu's words, all the civil and military officials in the Tai Chi Hall couldn't help being stunned.Immediately, the entire Taiji Hall was filled with whispers.

"You mean that His Royal Highness is fighting for profit with the people, and even pretending to be in my name. Then have you investigated this matter?" Li Shimin asked Wang Wu.

"My Majesty, this matter is not just a matter of mere speculation. I have conducted a detailed investigation into this matter, and His Royal Highness is not only opening a shop." Wang Wu said confidently.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Wang De, go and call Li Chengqian. Let him confront Yushi Wang Wudang."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly and did not say another word.The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to whisper anymore, and the entire Tai Chi Hall became completely silent.

However, the civil and military ideas of the Manchu Dynasty were not the same.Some sweated for Li Chengqian, while others gloated.

……

I saw Li Chengqian walking into the Tai Chi Hall wearing a scarlet gown.After saluting to Li Shimin first, he opened his mouth and said, "I don't know why the emperor is looking for his son?"

"Why are you here in this suit? Don't you know where this is?" Li Shimin said slightly angrily.

"I'm going to get married in a few days. Today, the Shangyi Bureau sent me a wedding robe. I was trying on it when I received an imperial edict from my father."

"My son was worried that my father had something important to look for me, and I was afraid of delaying my father's affairs, so I came like this." Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face.

"Censor Wang Wu impeached you to compete with the people for profit and open a shop in Chang'an Chengdong City. I wonder if this is true?" Li Shimin asked pretendingly.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others were already sweating for Li Chengqian.Now that Li Chengqian has been abolished as the crown prince, if something happens again, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.

But at this time, Xu Maogong had a smile on his face, and he didn't mean to worry about Li Chengqian at all.

And Li Chengqian looked indifferent, and said to Li Shimin: "Father, I don't know how to explain this competition with the people?"

"Wang Wu, come and tell King Xian what it means to compete for profit with the people." Li Shimin said to Wang Wu.

Wang Wu said hello to Li Shimin, then turned to Li Chengqian and said, "The so-called striving for profit with the people is the kings and grandsons, the ministers of the court and the middle ministers doing business. They use their power to bully the market."

Li Chengqian nodded after hearing this, and then said to Wang Wu: "Is it just like your Taiyuan Wang family. You talk about the books of sages and sages every day, but do dirty things."

Li Chengqian's words made Wang Wu's expression change involuntarily.And not only Wang Wu was angry, but the agent of the aristocratic family in the Tai Chi Hall also became very ugly.

Although Li Chengqian was talking about the Taiyuan royal family, how could everyone here fail to understand that Li Chengqian was referring to the Taiyuan royal family alluding to the world's aristocratic families.

How could a huge family be able to meet their living expenses only with the little salary they received as an official.

So they not only have tens of thousands of lands under their names, but also countless shops operating various businesses.

So Li Chengqian's words can be regarded as talking about their pain points.Because they often regard themselves as scholars, but they do a lot of business.

"His Royal Highness, don't change the subject. Today we are talking about your business." Wang Wu said to Li Chengqian with a sullen face.

"You mean that the royal family in Taiyuan can do anything, but the emperor's son can't do it?" Cheng Yaojin stood up and asked Wang Wu.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. If he doesn't explain the matter of the king's struggle with the people today, the king will definitely let you know why the flowers are so popular." Li Chengqian played with his sleeves while talking.

This made Wang Wu subconsciously take two steps back, for fear that Li Chengqian would come forward and beat him up.

Seeing that Li Chengqian did not make any further moves, Wang Wucai said with confidence: "His Royal Highness is in Chang'an East City, but he bought several shops?"

"Aren't you idle and have nothing to do, and you are wasting the civil and military time of the Manchu dynasty here? This king has already said about the purchase of shops in Chang'an East City. Why are you repeating the old story?" Li Chengqian asked. Said with warmth and anger.

Wang Wu said with a smirk on his face, "His Royal Highness the Xianwang bought a store that day, but did not operate it. So naturally it is not enough to compete with the people for profit."

"But just yesterday, these shops opened at the same time. This has already constituted a fact of competing with the people for profit. Does His Royal Highness still want to quibble?"

"The key to the so-called competition with the people is the word "competition". If what the king is dealing in is a unique product, can it be regarded as a competition with the people?" Li Chengqian asked Wang Wu two steps forward.

"But His Royal Highness is running restaurants and casinos. Of course, there are also shops selling various items. Are these all unique?" Wang Wu said with a proud expression.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Chengqian took two steps forward.Coming in front of him and shaking hands is a slap in the face.

Wang Wu who was beaten fell to the ground directly, but Li Chengqian didn't just give up.While criticizing Wang Wu fiercely, he said: "Today, this king beat you to death, you son of a bitch."

And Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong rushed up very cooperatively, yelling for Li Chengqian to stop.But in fact, he was helping Li Chengqian beat Wang Wu.

　Why do you still have a recommendation ticket in your hand? Didn't you see Dragon Soul kneeling on the ground?Your legs are numb, but your hands and feet should be quicker.
