The next morning, Li You got up early and he was going to start preparing for the hot air balloon flying. After all, if it fails, it would be terrible to compensate four million yuan.

Even our Li You must not be able to afford it, so Li You must get up early and check out his hot air balloon.

As for Li Mingda, she is sleeping very happily now. With 200,000 yuan in hand, no one is happier than her. What this little guy wants to do later will tell you later.

................

"Go to court..." At the same time, Li Shimin, in the Tai Chi Hall, also began to attend court.

All the officials came to the hall and reported the matters during this period one by one. Li Shimin sat in a high position and solved these problems one by one, just when the court meeting was about to explain.

Li Shimin laughed: "My ministers, do you know that King Qi wants to fly to the sky?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Yuchi Gong below quickly laughed and said, "I know, I know... Oh, Your Highness has also got 400,000 yuan from the Imperial College. These nerds' money is so easy to cheat. Feitian... how could it be..."

"Oh...!" Looking at Yuchi Gong, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Jingde, don't you believe in the matter of King Qi Feitian?"

"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the ancients had already had the dream of flying. The kites created by Lu Ban could go to the sky for three days, but they could not carry people... So the dream of flying is difficult to realize." Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Then your Majesty is in trouble this time...!" Liu Hongji laughed: "Your Highness the Princess has collected 400,000 guan. If you can't fly, you will have to pay 4 million guan."

Li Shimin laughed: "Yizi, I gave me 200,000 yuan, saying that it would be used for the restoration of Xiangzhou. If Feitian cannot do it, then I will be overwhelmed..."

"Your Highness the Princess is actually kind-hearted. She wants to help the people of Xiangzhou too much, but... the dream of flying is really absurd." Fang Xuanling was not very optimistic about Li You's flying.

Finally, Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "I think there are many people in the court who don't believe that my You'er can fly...."

"Why... Changsun Sikong thinks that flying can be successful?" Cheng Yaojin said with a hee, "The princess said that flying is not about flying a big kite, but about having someone sit on it and go directly to the sky.

This is absolutely impossible...!”

What Cheng Yaojin said was decisive.

However, Changsun Wuji supported Li You and said, "My You'er did what she said. If she could say it, he would definitely do it. Feitian would definitely...!"

"Yo... Changsun Sikong seems to support His Highness King Qi very much. Should we also bet...?" Yuchi Gong looked at Changsun Wuji with a giggle.

"How can you bet on this Tai Chi Hall..." Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly.

"Look...Look... Changsun Sikong is scared and dare not gamble anymore..." Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin stood there at the same time and smiled wickedly. The smirks look really deserve a beating.

Changsun Wuji frowned slightly, and then he heard Changsun Wuji look at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty... I have something to ask for."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What's the matter..."

"I want to bet with you in this hall today. I believe You'er, Feitian will definitely succeed. The princess made a bet in the Imperial College for 100% of the bet, and I'm going to increase it ten times today.

One thousand guan bet once... If you lose, you will pay 10,000 guan, but you don't know if you dare to gamble...!"

Changsun Wuji looked at the officials in the court with contempt.

"Dare... I'll pay 5,000 guan..." Yuchi Jingde did not hesitate.

"I'll pay 8,000 guan..." Cheng Yaojin followed closely behind.

Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin shouted at the same time, and then Li Shimin showed a faint smile: "Since it is Wuji's request, I will break the example... If anyone wants to bet with Changsun Sikong, he can come up now, and once the opportunity comes."

"I paid a thousand guan..." Xiao Yu smiled faintly: "Winning ten thousand guan will also improve and improve my husband's life. If I lose, I can fly once, so why not do it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other officials finally began to rush.

About an hour later, Li Shimin announced that the court would be dispersed... All officials went to court, while Li Shimin returned to Ganlu Hall with Changsun Wuji. When he arrived at Ganlu Hall, Changsun Wuji quickly revealed a bitter melon appearance.

However, Li Shimin seemed very excited: "How much, how much did he collect?"

"Eighteen thousand coins..." Changsun Wujisheng said unlovingly: "Can You'er's Feitian really succeed? If it doesn't work, it will cost 1.1 million coins?"

"Haha..." Li Shimin laughed: "Wuji, why are you looking like a little daughter? What are you afraid of... You see, Yizi is not afraid. She is even more cruel than us. She has to pay 4 million yuan, and we only have one million yuan."

"Oh..." Li Shimin's words made Changsun Wuji sigh: "Yes, this little girl, why is she so big now? Four million yuan, even if it were me, she would be so scared that she couldn't sleep...!"

"You don't know this. This is trust, it is Yizi's trust in You'er, so you must trust You'er too..." Li Shimin smiled: "Now I have 310,000 yuan in my hands, so my inner servants are finally a little more full.

First, I will go to Xiangzhou... I will also prepare to repair the palace later. You don’t know that many places in my palace are leaking. Now, with this money, I can also repair the palace."

"But Your Majesty... Can You'er's flying sky be successful..." Changsun Wuji was still very worried.

"It must be... Wuji, don't worry, we'll go and take a look in a while... By the way, three days later, You'er's Dunhuafang will hold a football match. We'll go and watch the game at that time, and then also touch the bottom of Feitian..."

"Okay...oh, Your Majesty... One million and one hundred thousand coins, I really don't have that much money to pay for...!"

Changsun Wuji complained, and Li Shimin laughed. In fact, Li Shimin thought of it just now in the court. Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and Changsun Wuji were all Li Shimin's people, just fooling the court officials to place bets.

Li Shimin lived too frugal. Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin suffered from asthma and was not suitable for living in a wet palace to recuperate.

In the summer, ministers were worried about the dragon body of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. According to the memorial of the Book of Rites: "According to the Book of Rites, in the last month of summer, you can live on high-rise pavilions. Now the heat has not subsided, the continuous heavy rain in autumn has just begun, and the terrain in the palace is low and very humid. You should build a pavilion for you to live in."

Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, could not bear to the people's burden of labor and said, "In the past, Emperor Wen of Han wanted to build a terrace, but gave up because he pity the property of ten households. My merits are not as good as Emperor Wen of Han, but they are more luxurious than him. Is this the way to be a king?"

Despite the repeated requests from the ministers, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin never allowed it.

You know, Li Shimin is the emperor, and building a gorgeous palace is a huge project, but it can be achieved with the emperor's order, but Li Shimin did not.

Because of Li Shimin's leading frugality, many ministers, like Li Shimin, also served as prime minister, have lived in low and humid houses for a long time, and there are no decorations like curtains in the house.

A friend advised him to buy a house and buy a land, and Cen Wenben sighed and said, "I was originally a commoner in the south of the Han River. I have never made great contributions. I became the prime minister based on just a little bit of learning. I am already very satisfied. Now I have such a high salary and feel ashamed. Why are you still buying a house and buying a land?"

Until his death, the Minister of Revenue Dai Zhou lived in a simple residence, and his house did not even have a place for mourning. It was the Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, personally ordered the construction of a temple for worship for him.

Wen Yanbo, the Shangshu Youpushe (a senior official in Shangshu), was poor and had no money to build a house. After his death, he could only set up a spiritual sacrifice in the side room. After his death, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin sighed when he heard about it, and also built a temple for him and rewarded his relatives with generous supplies.

In the entire Zhenguan era, the monarch and ministers were united in heart and virtue, advocated a frugal and simple life, and avoided unnecessary waste in terms of food, clothing and consumption.

Fortunately, Li Shimin received an inspiration at this time. This inspiration was given to him by Li Mingda. Frugality is a good thing, but if you can get some foreign wealth, what's wrong with improving your life?

You should know that the aristocratic families in the court live much better than their emperors. They snatch some money from these people's pockets to improve their lives without taxes from the people.

Li Shimin would live in a very stable palace built like this.

But Li Shimin lived in peace, but it made our Changsun Wuji suffer because Li Shimin asked him to come forward. Although Changsun Wuji wanted to resist, the other party was the emperor, how could he resist?

One million yuan of debts was pressed on Changsun Wuji. The feeling was really painful. For several nights, Changsun Wuji woke up from a night dream and felt very helpless. However, eating the king's fortune is just the king's worries. As long as the emperor can sleep soundly, Changsun Wuji can only ignore it.

....................................

In addition to Li Shimin getting some money and starting to build a palace for himself, the prince of the Eastern Palace also had a lot of good news. The spring exam questions were sold very well, with three hundred coins per exam.

In less than three days, about one hundred copies were sold.

That is 30,000 yuan, and this is just the beginning. There is still about a month left before the spring examination. There will be more and more students coming to Chang'an, and then more and more money will be made. Conservatively, it can earn one or two million.

With this money, Li Chengqian's private troops outside will go to the next level, and Li Chengqian's confidence in gaining freedom will increase by one point.

During this period, Li Chengqian no longer spent money on his life and played the role of the Turkic people. Now Li Chengqian is frequently in contact with some generals. These generals are introduced by Hou Junji, including Hou Junji's old subordinates, Hou Junji's comrades, frustrated generals, and ambitious generals.

Li Chengqian has begun to actively advance his hegemony, but Li Chengqian does not know that the more his hegemony goes forward, the closer his death will be to him.
