Therefore, when Li Er's eyes looked at him, Changsun Wuji said impatiently: "Your Majesty, I think Duke Zhao and Duke Zheng are saying good things. Now Yang Fan's family wealth is already endless. It is also appropriate to ask him to donate some to serve the country. Therefore, I beg your Majesty to issue an order to ask Yang Fan to donate the money for this auction."

Originally, His Majesty Li Er wanted Changsun Wuji to speak, but he didn't know that this guy was even more harmful.

But this guy doesn't think about why he is like this?

What a nonsense!

Yang Fan has given him so much money, so what else is there to issue?

Of course, Li Er also knew that these people didn’t know the specific situation and said so.

But no matter what, Li Er feels sorry!

I don't want to give it, but I feel stingy!

Let me tell you, the money was divided up before it even entered my pocket. Who wouldn’t be angry?

The more I thought about it, the darker Li Er's face became.

If I had known it, I would have announced the money Yang Fan had given to him in advance.

The more I thought about it, the more depressed he became, Li Er could only say carelessly: "I will discuss this later. Are you here today? Do you have any reports on it?"

Changsun Wuji seemed to have not seen Li Er deliberately changed the topic and said again: "Your Majesty, please think twice. The expenditures of various ministries this year are quite huge. Now the Ministry of Civil Affairs is already empty. Yang Fan should be asked to donate some money to fill the national treasury, otherwise it may cause the six ministries to operate poorly."

Seeing that his elder brother-in-law was so eye-poor, His Majesty Li Er's face became even worse.

Like Changsun Wuji said, if the Ministry of Revenue has no money, he will issue an order to take advantage of Yang Fan's hands and treat him as the emperor as someone.

From now on, the emperor will become a joke for the ages, and he can't afford to lose that person!

Snatching the property of a minister and being his own son-in-law, are you going to make me a model for the tyrant monarch for the ages?

Changsun Wuji seemed not to notice His Majesty Li Er's displeasure and continued: "Your Majesty, Tubo has been unstable recently, and even the neighboring land Guhun is ready to move, and the Turks far away in the Western Regions have rekindled!"

"Therefore, I asked Your Majesty to increase the renewal of equipment in the army so that the Tang Dynasty's Hu Ben can occupy the advantage of weapons and achieve the goal of less bleeding. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty again to issue an order for Yang Fan to donate the proceeds of this auction!"

Changsun Wuji seemed to be very selfless and said something in a mess.

The purpose is very obvious, which is to let Yang Fan spit out all the money he has obtained.

But His Majesty Li Er wanted to curse people when he heard this.

These guys are really shameful!

Although Changsun Wuji speaks well, isn’t his ultimate goal to let him, the emperor, take the blame?

Fortunately, Yang Fan took the initiative to send the money out, otherwise many people would have had pink eye disease!

If you don’t explain it clearly, there may be many people who will make such suggestions tomorrow.

Just as Li Er wanted to explain, Li Tai, who was standing beside him, said: "Duke Zhao, if you ask your father to issue an order to plunder the minister's property, isn't this arguing that his father is injustice? Since Duke Zhao is so worried about the country and the people, why don't he donate his own family business?"

In Li Tai's opinion, Changsun Wuji's behavior was too shameless and really unpleasant.

Li Tai's words were a little surprised by Changsun Wuji.

In Changsun Wuji's impression, Li Tai and Yang Fan's relationship is not very good.

Why did Li Tai speak for Yang Fan now?

Seeing the scene getting out of control, Li Er snorted coldly and said, "This is a list sent by Yang Fan, which tells in detail how to distribute and spend the money. If you think there are better suggestions, then I will definitely issue an order to implement it. Do you think it is okay?"

As he said that, he threw the list and letters presented by Yang Fan to Changsun Wuji and others.

When Changsun Wuji finished reading it, his face as thick as a wall could not help but turn red slightly.

Because Yang Fan has already donated all the money from this auction.

Although some of them are used to develop Huating County, absolutely no point has entered his pocket.

He just tried his best to persuade the emperor to issue an order to hand over the money, but now it seems that he has become a clown.

But Li Ji disagreed.

After all, he asked for this money not for himself, but for strengthening the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty.

Besides, it is also for Yang Fan's sake to ask for this money.

Since Yang Fan had already donated the money, Li Ji felt relieved.

So Li Ji said frankly: "Your Majesty, I judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain. He dared to doubt the sincerity of Wannian County Duke. Someone is willing to accept punishment. In order to express his apology, someone is willing to donate 1/3 of their family business and about 10,000 chunks of money to strengthen the army."

Wei Zheng also felt ashamed and continued: "The old minister lived for decades, but he was not as enlightened as a county magistrate for tens of thousands of years. The old minister was willing to be punished. He was willing to donate 1/3 of his family business to spend the various expenses of the court."

Hearing the words of Wei Zheng and Li Ji, Changsun Wuji felt as uncomfortable as if he was eating shit. These two people obviously forced him to express his opinion!

If you also donate 1/3 of your home business, that's all right?

A poor man like Wei Zheng only has a thousand chunks of his family business even if he donates 1/3 of his family business.

If the Changsun family had 1/3 of the home business, it would have been nearly 500,000 yuan, which was about fifty times that of Li Ji.

Seeing everyone's straight eyes, Changsun Wuji could only pretend that he didn't see it.

He really didn't expect that stealing chickens would not lose a lot of rice, but instead made himself look ugly.

Unconsciously, Changsun Wuji's resentment towards Yang Fan increased a little.

Seeing that Changsun Wuji did not express his opinion, His Majesty Li Er smiled: "You are loyal to the emperor and the country. Since you are so generous, I will accept this for you on behalf of the people of the Tang Dynasty. I will definitely let someone supervise this money and use it in practice!"

"Of course, since you have all expressed your opinion, I cannot not set an example. The more than 20 million guan of money Yang Fan has given me will be transferred to the Ministry of War, and Li Ji will be responsible for enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty soldiers."

"In addition, I have drawn 10 million yuan to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The money is used for people's livelihood projects such as Shujun River and cannot be misappropriated!"

Hearing Li Er's words, Li Tai quickly flattered: "The father loves the people as much as his son, which is the act of a wise king for all ages. This is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and the people. Just now, Qingque did not make it clear that the Duke of Zheng and the others were punished, and his sons were willing to donate 20,000 yuan to the construction of the Tang Dynasty's military."

"Haha, Qingque is intent, I feel so relieved!" Li Er stumbled on the short beard under his jaw and laughed.

When Changsun Wuji heard the conversation between Li Er and his son, he was so depressed.

Li Er used the money donated by Yang Fan to improve his reputation, which was really shameless.

What's even more shameless is that the two of them actually praised themselves openly, obviously trying to squeeze themselves.

Helplessly, Changsun Wuji had to say: "I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty and I should serve the country with loyalty. I am willing to donate 100,000 yuan to repay you."

Hearing this, Li Er clapped his hands: "Okay, I have you loyal ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and I will definitely be stronger in the future. Remember, the money must be implemented in practice. If anyone dares to extend his hand, I will punish you strictly without lending."

Li Ji bowed and said, "I will definitely live up to my expectations and build an invincible army that can shock the barbarians as soon as possible to prepare for Your Majesty's Eastern Expedition."

Wei Zheng also quickly said: "I will not let Your Majesty down, and I will definitely supervise the use of every penny so that the people can enjoy Your Majesty's kindness."

There are so many people present, maybe only Changsun Wuji is the most depressed.

I originally wanted to disgust Yang Fan, but I didn't know that his intelligence was just mistaken for intelligence, and I spent 100,000 yuan on it.

Thinking about so much money, Changsun Wuji felt a little painful.

This requires selling millions of kilograms of pig iron to make so much money!

Seeing everyone's statement, Li Er raised his eyelids and said in a plain tone: "That's great, then this matter ends here. You can start reporting what you have!"

"No!" Wei Zheng and his friends quickly responded.

Li Tai, who was standing by, felt so happy that this was an opportunity to participate in politics and was definitely an excellent opportunity to learn.

Unexpectedly, he got such an opportunity before the prince. Li Tai felt that his body was much lighter.

However, today's secret fight also allowed Li Tai to see the methods of these big shots.

There are many traps in seemingly ordinary words.

Li Ji and Wei Zheng's pledge just now seemed to be paying for their mistakes, but they were secretly forcing Changsun Wuji to bleed.

Li Tai sighed in his heart.

In the court, there were indeed intrigues everywhere.

Although the confrontation between these words just now seemed plain, it was secretly unstoppable.

Even a gentleman like Wei Zheng who is invincible can even resist. If Li Er did not have absolute control, he would really not be able to suppress these rebellious bosses.

For the first time, Li Tai felt that the emperor was not so easy to be a man.

If you don’t have excellent wrists and minds, you won’t know if you are cheated by these ministers.

This secret battle seems to be "both losing both sides" and the side without a victory.

But Li Tai knew that his father won a great victory, not only gained fame, but also spent so much money from several people, which simply brought the emperor's methods to the extreme.

Li Er couldn't help but compare himself with Li Er.

Finally, he concluded that with his knowledge, it would be good to not be cheated by a few people. He wanted to pay for the money and admit his mistakes, but he did not have such ability.

Involuntarily, Li Tai's admiration for his father became even more successful.

At this time, His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood and asked, "What's the matter with you, my dear friends?"

Wei Zheng replied: "Your Majesty, today I received a memorial from Duke Bao. According to his itinerary, I may arrive in Huating County tomorrow. Can I have any instructions?"

"Look at how the two of them cooperate, let's talk about it then!" His Majesty Li Er waved his hand.

Duan Zhixuan's visit to Jiangnan was actually the result of a compromise between the imperial power and the aristocratic families.
