Chapter 303 Proud Quan Wanji
Watches are very precious, so in addition to Yueying giving the watch to Li Mingda, Quan Zhixi also gave her watch to her father Quan Wanji.
You don’t know how majestic it was when Wanji, the king, brought his watch to court.
A group of dukes had empty hands, such as Cheng Yaojin, Zhang Liang, Yuchi Gong, Tang Jian... none of them were there, but a small minister had a watch on his wrist, which was so eye-catching.
"Oh... Mr. Quan is really married well... I brought all the watches with me, that... Mr. Quan, are you selling this watch? I can pay a thousand guan..."
"Bah... Cheng Yaoxian, you are really shameless. A watch is a good thing that can control time. You actually paid a thousand guan. Lao Quan... This watch is sold to me, and I paid ten thousand guan...!" Yuchi Gong shouted loudly.
Looking at these two people, Quan Wanji Lian waved his hand and smiled: "Two Dukes... This watch is not my official, this watch belongs to my daughter. My daughter is afraid that I will delay the time for court, so she lends it to me for a while."
After saying that, Quan Wanji looked at his watch and smiled, "Oh, it's almost 6 o'clock and is about to go to court. The two dukes, Quan, will leave first."
Then, Quan Wanji was a little sorry and left Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.
Seeing Quan Wanji leave, Cheng Yaojin was speechless: "I'm not using it. My son gave birth to a basket of people, but he didn't have a beautiful daughter. You said that so many sons are useless. At the critical moment, it's better for a daughter."
"Yes...!" Yuchi Gong nodded helplessly: "The two black charcoals in my family are not only unable to help me, but are still making trouble at home. I asked me to make a watch for each of them and slapped them with labor and capital. It's really a failure to succeed."
"By the way, Lao Hei... His Majesty's watch is really gone?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Yuchi Gong with some unwillingness and asked.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, the King of Wei, Concubine Yang, Concubine Wei, Concubine Yin, Fang Xiang, Changsun Sikong, and Li Ji each...!" After Yuchi Gong said that, Cheng Yaojin on the side calculated and said in surprise: "That's only nine yuan...and there is another one..."
"Ma Zhou..."
"What...Ma Zhou, why should he...?" Cheng Yaojin was speechless.
You should know that Ma Zhou was not the prime minister at this time. He was just the Minister of the Secretariat and the Right Prince of the Crown Prince... His official position was not very high, but at this time, Li Shimin actually admired Ma Zhou very much.
Ma Zhou is considered to be the direct descendant of Li Shimin.
In the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin asked everyone in the court to write an article about the gains and losses of current affairs. Chang He was a military general and could not make any writing. When he saw the emperor asking him to write articles, he couldn't help but get anxious. When Ma Zhou learned the news, he took the initiative to write this article for Chang He with the idea of repaying his kindness. Chang He was very happy and asked Ma Zhou to write it himself on his own.
A few days later, Chang He presented the article about current affairs written by Ma Zhou to Emperor Taizong of Tang to view. Li Shimin was shocked after reading it. He knew that Chang He was not good at writing skills and could write such a thorough article.
He didn't believe that this was written by Chang He, so he asked Chang He if it was written by him. Chang He was honest and did not take any credit. He honestly said to the emperor: "I don't have this ability. This was written by Zhou Dynasty, a disciple of my minister."
When Li Shimin heard that Chang He had such a genius, he was very happy, and he had the idea of meeting this talent immediately.
After meeting him, Li Shimin discussed current affairs with Ma Zhou and put forward many constructive opinions. Li Shimin discovered that Ma Zhou was really a rare talent, and what was even more rare was that Ma Zhou was not a child of any aristocratic family, so Ma Zhou would only be Li Shimin's person.
Moreover, when Li Shimin used Ma Zhou, he could give all poor students a hope, so Ma Zhou's watch was not just for Ma Zhou, but also for all poor students in the Tang Dynasty.
"Go to court..."
Just when Cheng Yaojin was speechless, the sound of the little eunuch coming to court had already come. With a sigh, Yuchi Gong said speechlessly: "Let's go..."
....................................
The watches on Li You are all famous... Of course, many people don't have them. This watch can be purchased for 20 yuan in three months in Li You's system mall, which is the limit.
Li You thought at first that the ancients were not easy to accept watches, but who knew that the speed of the ancients accepting time was much faster than Li You thought. More importantly, their management of time was much more eager than Li You imagined.
So when the watch appears, it gets praise from Li Shimin.
He even got the jealousy of the prince and the King of Wei.
Just after the watch was delivered to the prince and the King of Wei, Prince Li Chengqian and King of Wei Li Tai actually found their own small group and held a secret meeting.
The prince is Li Yuanchang, Du He, and the prince of Wei is Fang Yiai and his literati.
People on both sides showed a strong interest in watches, especially on the prince's side, because there was some hatred between Li You and the prince, and the appearance of the watch allowed the prince to see the interests.
When the prince heard that the watch outside had been hyped up to 10,000 yuan a piece, he really wanted to steal the business into his own hands because the profits of this business were really too great.
Li Tai also had the same idea as Prince Li Chengqian. However, Li Tai's idea was blocked by Fang Yiai. Fang Yiai told Li Tai that at this time, a state of confrontation between the two kings had already formed.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai are the two kings who confront each other. This is a balance. Li Shimin will never break this balance. Li Shimin can allow Li You to make money, but he will never allow it. Li Tai and Li Chengqian will break this balance on either side.
Whoever attacks Li You first and wants to steal the business from Li You, then he is likely to be eliminated by Li Shimin.
Du He also reminded Li Chengqian of this point, but unlike Li Tai's happy acceptance of Fang Yiai's suggestion, Li Chengqian did not care much about Du He's suggestion. Instead, he became very interested in the voices in Li You's hands again.
Li Chengqian always believed that if he could take over all of Li You's business, he could take over Li Shimin's throne smoothly, and he would no longer have to be afraid or worried about his fourth brother.
But Li Chengqian forgot that at this time, whether it was him or his fourth brother, the glory, wealth, status and connections of the Tang Dynasty came from their father.
As long as the Tang Dynasty is still in the hands of Li Shimin for one day, you can only take what Li Shimin gave it to you. If Li Shimin doesn't give it to you, you can't take it.
Li Tai, Li You... are all very clear about this theorem, but he can't wait for the only one, Li Chengqian. Soon, he will make a big mistake, and this mistake will directly make Li Chengqian lose all his bargaining chips in front of Li Shimin.
Of course, Li Chengqian was proud of himself at this time, and he didn't know that he would lose so much.
