Chapter 1863 If You Don’t Give Me, Return It to Me
When Li Shimin heard that Li Shen did not take Yuanwailang seriously, he immediately started to educate Li Shen angrily.
In particular, Li Shen's indifferent attitude towards the court officials made Li Shimin very angry.
After all, he is an emperor, and the court officials are all his subordinates. Isn't it the same as looking down on him if he looks down on the court officials?
These court officials were all appointed by him.
Isn't Li Shen openly defying the imperial court?
"Your Majesty, the sobering soup is ready." At this time, a report came from outside.
Wang De hurried over and brought in the sobering soup.
"Give this rebellious son some drink. Listen to what nonsense he just said."
Li Shimin said angrily.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, drink this bowl of hangover soup."
Wang De smiled and brought it to Li Shen.
In Li Shen's confused eyes, he saw a feminine old lady with wrinkles on her face, who told him to drink this bowl of Meng Po soup.
Li Shen shuddered with fright, wondering how he had drunk so much that he ended up at the Naihe Bridge?
After taking a closer look, he saw that it was Wang De. Li Shen took it and drank it down in one gulp. Then he handed the bowl back and said:
"Old Wang, you'd better laugh less in the future. It's too scary."
"......" Wang De's smiling face instantly froze after hearing Li Shen's words, and then turned into helplessness.
Prince Ji is still Prince Ji. He doesn’t change even when he drinks too much.
"Okay, regarding the football betting, we will follow your agreement on the profit sharing. I will inform the Crown Prince and have him discuss this with the three provinces and six ministries.
As for Pei Mingli...he is a talented person, you should look for someone else.
Now he is a sixth-rank official. He is good at business and meticulous, and may be of great use to the court in the future.
I will not give him to you."
Li Shimin said to Li Shen with a stern face.
It was Li Shen who came up with the idea of poaching an official from the imperial court, so Li Shimin naturally wasn't willing to do that.
The prince was about to succeed to the throne and was short of manpower. Li Shimin wanted to gather all the talented people in the world and put them under the prince's command.
How is it possible to send talented people abroad?
After drinking the sobering soup, Li Shen felt better, his stomach felt warm, and he felt a little more energetic.
Pei Mingli was determined to get him. Now that the Ji Wang Mansion was so large and powerful, Wang Hongfu alone could not handle it.
Li Shen had a lot of unconventional things that needed Wang Hongfu to do, so he had no time to manage various industries at this time.
Just like now Wang Hongfu is responsible for rebuilding the Academy of Sciences, supervising the football stadium, and the trade plan with Mohe and Khitan that he had assigned some time ago, the construction of roads in important cities in Qinghai has also begun.
He simply couldn't take care of so many things by himself, and most of the dozen or so shopkeepers around him were in charge of the palace's business affairs.
There is an extreme shortage of staff in Prince Ji's Mansion now, so Li Shen urgently needs a talented person to help.
And Pei Mingli is his best candidate.
"Father, Pei Mingli is just a merchant, he may not be good at government affairs, it is better to let him work with me and give full play to his strengths.
This is called knowing people and making good use of them." Li Shen argued.
Li Shimin remained unmoved and said firmly:
"I also know how to use people well, and I have not buried his talents. In the future, the prince will give him an important official position.
I advise you to give up this idea. I will not give Pei Mingli to you.
Why don't you go visit the common people and see if there are any talented businessmen?"
"Aye, where are there so many geniuses? I discovered Pei Mingli by accident.
Father, please give the person to me. This tea table and tea set is worth at least one Pei Mingli, right? "
Li Shen pointed at the tea table and teacups on the table, his meaning was very clear, this set of things was to be exchanged for Pei Mingli.
"Humph, you already know this. If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. You must have a purpose for giving gifts. Now your true colors are exposed, right?
It is impossible to exchange a pillar of the court for a mere tea table."
Li Shimin snorted coldly with a look of contempt. He knew that this rebellious son would not be so kind as to give him something.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. As expected, this rebellious son actually wanted to exchange one of his ministers for a tea table.
This is simply lawless and outrageous.
"Oh, then since Aye doesn't agree to the exchange, forget it. I'll move the tea table back and not exchange it."
Li Shen said calmly, "Oh," and then said indifferently.
When Li Shimin heard this, he smiled contemptuously:
"Haha, that's even more impossible. Since you gave the things, why would you want to take them back?
Are you really deceiving me?
The crime of deceiving the emperor is an unforgivable crime and should be punished by death according to the law!"
There was a hint of mockery in Li Shimin's eyes as he looked at the rebellious son in front of him and said, "If you have the guts, tell me that you are deceiving the emperor. I will chop you to death."
Li Shimin looked like he had Li Shen completely defeated, but he overlooked one thing: Li Shen was drunk.
When he heard Li Shimin say that he was not allowed to take his things away, he immediately got angry due to the alcohol.
He slapped the bed with a "bang", sat up shakily, and asked loudly:
"Why? Are you trying to rob me, Aye? I originally gave this tea table to someone else. If I don't give it to someone else, then why do you want the tea table?
As a father, he actually stole his son's things. If the rumor gets out, it would be bad, right?
Anyway, if you want a tea table, you have to give it to the person. Or do you want a face-to-face meeting? Humph! "
Li Shen's series of actions stunned Li Shimin, and he was unable to react for a while.
After a long while, Li Shimin made a move. He glared at him, and it seemed that he was furious.
"Wang De, go and fetch me my family rules. I want to teach this rebellious son a lesson.
How dare you talk to me like that? " As he spoke, Li Shimin stood up and prepared to go over and hit him twice.
Seeing this, Wang De hurried forward to stop Li Shimin and said:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. Prince Ji is drunk and is just talking nonsense. I hope Your Majesty will calm down."
"Don't stop me. Even if I'm drunk, I'll still speak the truth."
Li Shimin's temper also came up.
Li Shen was dazed at the moment, and continued to speak staggeringly:
“Humph, if you don’t give it to me, I will go directly to Pei Mingli and ask him to resign and then come to Prince Ji’s Mansion.
By then, the salary he will receive will be at least ten times that given by the court.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to. Just make him bankrupt first, and then frame him for abusing his power and using it for personal gain.
When he is in the most difficult time, I will lend him a helping hand, and then Pei Mingli will be loyal to me for the rest of his life.
If I treat him sincerely, help him restore his family business, and give him a position to bring honor to the family, I don't believe he won't be devoted to me."
Li Shen was very arrogant, but after he finished speaking, he felt dizzy and finally lay down and fell asleep.
Although he drank a bowl of sobering soup, Li Shen couldn't drink much and drank too much.
