Chapter 2012 The Prince Gives You the Money to Pay Off the Debt
Inuue Mitatsuki has always had a shadow over Li Shen. A few years ago, Prince Ji beat the Tang envoy Soga no Rinpoche in the street, severely injuring him and almost killing him.
Afterwards, he went to apologize and was threatened by Li Shen.
In addition, the good things Li Shen had done in Chang'an City over the years made Inukami Mitanabe even more wary of Li Shen.
He now suddenly felt that cooperating with Prince Ji was not a good thing. This young prince of the Tang Dynasty was too greedy and was a ruthless person.
At first he thought that Prince Ji wanted a piece of land to be used as a residence to facilitate communication and trade between the two countries.
Who would have thought that King Ji actually built a big city in Hizen, a very, very big city.
Even in the whole of Japan, there are few that can match it.
How many troops can be stationed in such a large city?
After the court's investigation, it was found that there are now 5,000 guards inside. On the surface, they are tribal guards hired by Prince Ji's Palace, but in fact, they are probably the army of Prince Ji's Palace.
The officials in the court all raised objections to the actions of Prince Ji's Mansion. They believed that Prince Ji's move was most likely a conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty.
After the city was built, it became too risky for Japan, and some radicals even wanted to demolish it.
However, their emperor did not agree, as the princes of the Tang Dynasty had noble status and enormous power.
Especially the tenth prince of the Tang Dynasty, Prince Ji. He had seen more than once in the intelligence sent back some of the things that Prince Ji had done.
It is simply lawless, doing whatever they want, being domineering, and cheating.
He was capable of targeting daimyos and nobles in his own country, and had cheated them of their money more than once.
As a noble, he actually did such a disgraceful thing, which is simply outrageous.
If such a prince's city were forcibly demolished, the consequences would be immeasurable.
In the end, they could only hope that King Ji built the city really for the purpose of exchanges between the two countries.
Therefore, since even the Emperor of Japan is wary of this person, Inuue Mitaki would naturally be even more wary of him.
"Inugami-kun, you are exaggerating a little. The people of the Tang Dynasty have always believed that small countries like us are biased and barbaric. They have never taken a liking to small places like ours.
Look at the pomp and circumstance of Prince Ji. Who in our country can compare to him?"
Soga Hinata didn't quite believe what Inujo Mitatsugu said.
He had been here for a while and found that the people of the Tang Dynasty were very arrogant. They believed that people from other places except the Tang Dynasty were uncivilized savages.
Places outside the Tang Dynasty are all barbarian lands and there is nothing good there. He doesn't believe that the Tang Dynasty would set his sights on a place as far away as Japan.
"Soga-kun, the scholars of the Tang Dynasty are indeed polite, and the Tang Dynasty is also a country of etiquette.
But King Ji is not among them.
You may not know that this little prince was not a scholar. He dropped out of the Imperial College at the age of nine and stopped studying, saying that his family had no money.
He left the palace at the age of nine to make his own way, and built up a fortune in just a few years. With such a mind, do you think this little prince is simple?
I have been in the Tang Dynasty for several years. This little prince is an outlier. Don't use etiquette to restrain him, because he has never learned etiquette. "
Seeing that Soga Hinata was so indifferent to Prince Ji, Inujou Mitatsuno had to give Soga Hinata a lecture.
Don't make the same mistake as Soga no Rinpoche again. If you anger Prince Ji, he might do something.
After hearing this, Soga Hinata had a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. He felt that he should find an opportunity to contact this prince.
I heard that King Ji is greedy, but greed is good, because only greedy people are profit-driven and can be tempted by benefits.
The most feared thing is that having no desires and no demands will cause trouble, but now it seems that there is no such opportunity. They also heard that Prince Ji is going to Anxi Protectorate this time.
They had also heard a little about the feud between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty. It seemed that the Tang emperor was intercepted and killed by the Western Turks when he went to Qinghai Road last year.
This time it is the Tang Dynasty’s revenge.
The military parade continued, and the troops passed through the Suzaku Gate and headed west.
The officials on the city wall watched the military parade at Prince Ji's Mansion with different thoughts, some were shocked, some frowned.
At this moment, Li Shen had already entered the imperial city and came to the top of the city wall.
"Tenth brother, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were leaving? Did you do it on purpose?"
Seeing Li Shen, Li Chengqian asked with a smile.
Li Shen came to Li Chengqian, bowed, and said:
"Brother, you are joking. How could I do this on purpose? I left in a hurry and didn't have time to inform you.
Didn't Big Brother tell me to finish my business and leave on my own?"
“You were free to go to Cuiwei Palace yesterday, but you didn’t have time to inform me?
I let you leave on your own, and I didn't ask you not to report it. I think you did it on purpose.
Tenth brother, I have already taken out two hundred thousand strings of cash to compensate you. For this, I sold everything I had in the East Palace and even borrowed thirty thousand strings of cash from my mother.
You can't embarrass me anymore."
Li Chengqian was convinced. This guy was too troublesome. He was no match for him at all. He did not follow any rules at all and there was nothing he could do to him.
If it were someone else today, demotion would be the lightest punishment, but if things go wrong, one could lose his life.
But Li Shen did just that, and Li Chengqian had to cooperate.
Li Shen turned a deaf ear to Li Chengqian's show of weakness and said sarcastically:
"Brother, how dare I embarrass you? If you go to Aye to complain again, I will be beaten.
You didn’t see how badly I was beaten that day. The medical expenses alone cost millions of coins, not to mention the subsequent recuperation and mental damage expenses.”
"One million strings of cash?" Li Chengqian was shocked by Li Shen's nonsense, "Tenth brother, even if I sell everything in the Eastern Palace, including myself, it is not worth one million strings of cash.
How about this, you become the crown prince, and I will give up my position to you to pay off my debts."
Li Chengqian was so angry that he laughed at Li Shen's big mouth.
You actually said it would cost a million strings of cash to treat a butt. Even a golden butt wouldn't be worth that much.
Li Shen curled his lips in disdain when he heard Li Chengqian's words:
"Tsk~~~ Big brother, you are so calculating. Your position is worthless to me, and you actually want to exchange it for one million strings of cash? You are too treacherous. You actually ask for such a huge amount.
Do you know that the seat you are sitting on now was designed and made by me, and it cost less than one hundred strings of coins.
Besides, look at the way you look now. Your face is blue, your eye circles are dark, your eye sockets are sunken, and your face is pale. It’s obvious that you’ve been working too hard, getting up early and staying up late.
Do you think I'm stupid? Are you asking for trouble by spending money?"
Li Shen looks as if he sees through you, and looks at Li Chengqian with a half-smile.
Li Chengqian is only thirty years old. Look, in just a few years, he has become like this.
Li Shen would not be fooled. Isn't it great to be the third generation of the emperor? He can do whatever he wants and enjoy the glory and wealth of the world. He can also go out for a trip and go wherever he wants.
Whether in the past life or this life, how many people can be as free and unrestrained as I am?
(I found something. There are some repeated plots. I wrote it before and wrote it again after.
But this has nothing to do with me. It’s not that I can’t remember it, it’s probably because Li Shen has a bad memory and forgot it.
If this happens again in the future, it has nothing to do with me. It's all Li Shen's fault. Thank you.
Mainly because I don’t have an outline, I just write whatever comes to mind)
