The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu came out of Da'an Palace and headed for Taiji Palace.

I don't know if Li Shimin is in Ganlu Palace or Liangyi Palace at this moment, so I can only go to the nearest place.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the memorials submitted to Li Shimin's desk were basically congratulatory memorials from various states. They were openly congratulating and greeting Li Shimin, but in fact, they were also talking about how their own governance in the first half of the year was, secretly showing their achievements, hoping to leave an impression on the emperor.

In addition to the congratulatory memorials, there were some gifts presented to Li Shimin by officials from various places along with the congratulatory memorials.

There were all kinds of gifts, big and small, cheap and expensive.

The rich would look for some rare treasures, and the poor would give some gifts with greater symbolic meanings, such as the rice in Jiangnan grew well, and they would select a bunch of the best-looking ones, tie them with ribbons, and put them in a box. This was also a gift. Although it was not expensive, it had good meaning.

Li Shimin was looking through these congratulatory memorials in Ganlu Palace at this moment.

It also wrote what kind of gifts were transported to Chang'an.

Although the drought in Guanzhong was serious, it did not prevent officials from other places from singing praises.

Li Shimin was not in a good mood after reading it.

Although the Jingyang Palace spent some money on disaster relief this year, the treasury is now empty.

That's all money!

All my money!!!

"Your Majesty, the Jingyang Prince wants to see you."

"Yes?" Li Shimin put down the congratulatory letter and looked up: "Let him in."

"Yes."

Li Fu walked briskly into the Ganlu Hall.

"Your humble servant greets my second brother." Li Fu grinned and laughed happily.

Li Shimin was confused.

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Are you happy?" Li Shimin smiled unhappily.

"Hehehe, I'm not crazy, I'm happy for my second brother."

Li Fu said as he approached Li Shimin: "Good news, great news, and the Queen's sister-in-law is already in Da'an Palace."

"What good news? Tell me."

Li Shimin looked at Li Fu and didn't quite believe what he said.

However, he heard him say that the Queen was already in Da'an Palace, so this thing might be true.

"It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival." Li Fu smiled and said, "The emperor has a reward."

"The emperor has a reward? The queen went to Da'an Palace to receive the reward. What's so strange about this?" Li Shimin smiled and said, "What a fuss."

"Ah? Second brother, this reward is not ordinary. This time, the emperor is very generous. He opened the storehouse of Da'an Palace and took all the money inside. Moreover, I am responsible for this matter. I just called the emperor's sister-in-law over. First, she moved the money, and second, the emperor's sister-in-law also had to thank the emperor. After all, this is a generous gift."

Li Shimin stared at Li Fu.

"You didn't empty the emperor's treasury, did you?"

This really seems like something this kid can do.

Not long after being named a prince, he was able to swindle a huge sum of money from the national treasury. This matter will be deeply impressed by Li Shimin until his death.

"That can't be." Li Fu shook his head.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was a reward for the Taiji Palace, it couldn't be too much. It was a big festival, so it was just a token of appreciation.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and then listened to Li Fu continue.

"Some items were left for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and the rest of the treasures were moved away."

"What?!" Li Shimin's eyes widened.

He almost couldn't breathe.

What's the difference between this and emptying it?

"Look, you're anxious again." Li Fu pointed at Li Shimin, with a calm face: "After all, you are an emperor, can you be more stable?"

Li Shimin was so angry that his beard was about to stand up.

"You want me to be calm?"

"You emptied the treasury of the retired emperor, and you want me to be calm?"

"Tsk." Li Fu looked at Li Shimin with disdain: "You are so old, can you think more before speaking, otherwise, people will think that you, the emperor, are a rookie."

Li Fu was proud and presumptuous at this moment.

He got such a big return on the treasury, what's wrong with showing off in front of his second brother, the emperor?

He was already very calm if he didn't go to the toilet in Ganlu Palace.

"Think about it, second brother. Why did the emperor give the inner court this time under the pretext of the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Li Fu said, "He opened up the treasury and let me take charge. How could the emperor not know about such a big deal?

He knew long ago that I was in charge of this matter. He must have moved as much as he could from the treasury to the Taiji Palace."

Li Shimin stared at Li Fu and listened to his explanation.

"The affairs of the court, disaster reliefThere is no need to inquire about the matter, as it has long been heard by the emperor. Whether it is the national treasury or the inner treasury, more than a month ago, there was no food in the national treasury and no money in the inner treasury. The emperor also knew it. After all, the old ministers who went from outside the palace to Da'an Palace always had to say a few words when they accompanied the emperor to play mahjong and chess. "

"There are some things that the emperor is embarrassed to tell you directly. Anyway, you and your son are both good at face."

"After all, you are two emperors, and face is more important than father-son affection."

"If you don't say it, you can only do it."

Li Fu spread his hands: "After all, my second brother is the emperor's biological son. Can the emperor really ignore it?"

"So, emptying the warehouse of Da'an Palace is not an important matter."

"The important thing is how to fill the empty warehouse in the palace. "Li Fu narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Shimin with a smile: "Da'an Palace, Taiji Palace, aren't they all in the palace? Money is transferred back and forth between two hands, and it's all transferred by our family, it's not a big deal."

"What matters is how to transfer the money in the pockets of outsiders to our own warehouse, this is the top priority. "

Li Fu's words were too tempting for Li Shimin.

There was no way, he was afraid of being poor.

When he was doing tea business, after the money went into the treasury, Li Shimin didn't dare to spend anything except for the workshop in the mountains.

Especially when he listened to the accounts of the court officials, he felt more and more upset. The rich treasury gave him too much sense of security.

Even if the Turks suddenly went south again, the national treasury plus the treasury would always be able to fight.

"In addition, even if it is not transferred to our warehouse, it is good to spend it on the people in the end. Don't you think so? After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather turns cold, and winter will come in the blink of an eye. "Li Fu said: "The people who suffered from the disaster will not have a good winter. The court will do its best. The people also miss you as an emperor. "
