Chapter 242: First Hearing, Shock
Palace
Although the rejection of the marriage proposal may have a lot of consequences for Datang, it is already a matter for the future.
Now Li Shimin is obviously in a good mood, because his father has fulfilled his promise to move out after he has prepared the palace.
This also proves that Li Shimin can breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, as for the rumors in the court.
Li Shimin naturally knew why, after all, his father was also a face-saving person, and he didn't want to make more waves.
And such rumors confirm that the father does not have nostalgia for Taiji Palace.
On this day, Li Shimin had a meal in the queen's bedroom, although the food standard in the palace has indeed improved a lot.
But Empress Changsun often borrows cooks from Shufu, and it can be said that the taste is not inferior even to heaven and earth, and even increases by one point.
After all, the materials used in the palace are carefully selected, and the taste is naturally better.
It is precisely for this reason that even this emperor has come to Changsun Wujian here a lot more times than in the past.
Of course, this naturally made many concubines envious and jealous, but they didn't have such a relationship, and with the power of the previous queen, they could only hate it in their hearts.
But this time it was different from usual, and the eldest grandson queen said something.
"Your Majesty, my father sent someone to tell his concubine something."
Li Shimin's face was a little stunned for a while, but then he reacted immediately.
"What is this old man going to do?"
Li Shimin's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, obviously still a little dissatisfied with his calculations, but he still made a listening appearance, waiting for Guanyin's next words.
"The Father sent someone to say a very strange word, Keju!"
"And the father has already united a lot of people, as if he wants to make a place to keju."
"Ask the concubine if she wants to mix in a share, and the concubine can't make up her mind for a while, so ask Your Majesty."
Empress Changsun couldn't help but continue to speak up, and said the whole thing again, but she still couldn't help but wonder what this Keju was.
However, he must know that his father will not harm him, so the eldest grandson queen is already moved, and he heard that his brother has also invested a lot of money in it.
You have to know that your brother can be said to have always been shrewd, how can he be confused in this kind of thing.
Although the treasury has increased by hundreds of thousands or even millions because of the city tax, only this emperor is clear, and the eldest grandson empress is not clear.
But this is the money of the treasury, and it has little to do with the internal funds, plus His Majesty cut expenses some time ago.
Even Empress Changsun can't be exempt from money and wealth, so she is naturally moved, but she still wants to hear His Majesty's thoughts.
And with the explanation of the eldest grandson, Li Shimin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he knew that his father had the ability to make money.
With the union of so many people, it would be impossible to say that there was no big move.
"Guanyin, don't worry about this matter first, wait for me to send someone to find out."
However, Li Shimin still had a trace of doubt in his heart and said slowly, he naturally knew it, but he didn't know how his father wanted to make money.
"Hmm!"
Empress Eldest Sun nodded, agreeing with His Majesty's opinion, because even she had some worries.
After all, this is not completely her money, if it is lost, then it is a little unreasonable, although she is the queen, but there must be some measure.
In fact, after returning to the imperial study from Empress Changsun, Li Shimin's heart began to be uneasy, and he kept thinking of Keju in his mind.
Although he had already asked Li Junxian to understand the situation for the first time, he still had a nostalgia in his mind.
As for the reason, of course, it is very simple, of course, it is the money that can be troubled, and you must know that according to past experience, every thing that this father proposed has not been missed.
And none of the purchased industries have benefited a lot, which naturally makes Li Shimin's eyes red.
The money in the treasury does not mean that it is the money in Li Shimin's hands, because even if Li Shimin wants to use the money from the treasury, he will have to go through the discussion of these ministers before making a decision.
So it seems that the treasury has a lot of money, but in fact, Li Shimin feels that he is very poor, so he naturally wants to intervene.
In the imperial study, Wang De had some doubts on his face, because of the words of this point in time in the past.
His own master should be reviewing the folds, but today is abnormal, but as a minion, there are many doubts, and he never dares to speak.
In fact, Li Shimin has been waiting for Li Junxian to return, after all, the money is not a small amount, after all, his father has gathered so many people and forces.
It could never be that simple, and he was also among those who knew this Father best.
After all, Li Shimin and this father were also at odds with each other, and it was precisely for this reason that he had a lot of understanding about this.
If there were not enough interests, his own father would not have gathered so many people.
"Step, step"
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of footsteps outside the door of the imperial study, which instantly made Li Shimin feel refreshed.
"Jun Xian, come in!"
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but take the lead in speaking, he couldn't wait to know his father's thoughts.
"I've seen Your Majesty!"
Li Junxian saluted respectfully after entering the imperial study, with a wry smile on his face, although His Majesty valued it very much, he could not be proud of it.
Li Junxian still has a clear understanding of this, but at this time, Li Shimin didn't care about Li Junxian's thoughts.
"What has Father been doing lately?"
Li Junxian had already taken the lead in asking, knowing that he had many doubts in his heart, just waiting for Li Junxian to answer.
"Your Majesty, this matter has to start with King Rencheng!"
Li Junxian thought for a while and then began to speak up, telling everything he had investigated this time.
He has some understanding of Keju, mainly because His Majesty has been choosing the candidate for Keju in the past few days.
"What? At least a million a year? ”
Li Shimin was a little shocked, and his first reaction was how could this be possible, to know that a million guan is not a small number.
Even the city tax he collected before was only this amount, and the city tax was due to a one-time supplementary payment.
But now this industry has such profits, even Li Shimin doesn't believe it, because it's too exaggerated.
