The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2498: Lucky to be a villain, treacherous and f

In Wencheng Hall, Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke who were sitting in front of them as quiet as chickens.

Rather helplessly, he let out a long sigh. "The disabled old man and the ground-deficient layman are Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu under your command, right?"

"No, father-in-law, it's me and His Highness the King of Wu." Cheng Chubi raised his hand and pointed at Li Ke beside him without hesitation.

"...I don't know how to punish you, what are you afraid of?" Li Shimin said with a smile. "Can this old man still laugh at you?"

Of course, it was impossible for Cheng Chubi to admit that those two guys who only took the blame and didn't make any effort had the credit.

"My father-in-law, it's really me and His Highness King Wu. The article was compiled by the two of us."

Li Ke on the side was a little bit worried about his own father, but brother Chu Bi said so.

Naturally, I want to advance and retreat together, and I have to bite the bullet and say that I am the same as Brother Chu Bi.

Unexpectedly, seeing the two young people's attitude of resisting strictness, Li Shimin was not only not angry, but showed a gratified smile on the contrary.

"Okay, okay, you two are very responsible, not bad."

"Although Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong have problems in character, they are extremely rare in terms of their ability to handle affairs."

"Now both of them have become disabled again, and their official careers are difficult. It just so happens that there are two people who are good at documents and good at administration by your side, so the old man can rest assured."

Li Shimin's words made Cheng Chubi a little confused, even though he thought so, and tried to make Tiantian Candiqian a tool man by his side.

But now, the father-in-law is so active. Well, I always feel that the father-in-law seems to have misunderstood something, but since this misunderstanding is still beautiful, I don't bother to care about it.

While Cheng Sanlang was thinking wildly, he saw the face of the old man in front of him suddenly turn serious.

"My son-in-law, this is the end of this matter, don't do any more nonsense. Otherwise, the old man will not spare you."

"Don't worry, my father-in-law, my son-in-law has always been a low-key person and a high-key person..."

"Huh?!" The last sentence instantly made Li Shimin raise his eyes.

Cheng Chubi hurriedly changed his words in time. "It's a high-profile thing to do, and besides, my son-in-law has never taken the initiative to provoke disputes."

"As long as they don't cause trouble, my son-in-law won't have the time to conflict with them."

Looking at the aggrieved Cheng Chubi in front of him, Li Shimin smacked his mouth, this is really the truth.

This kid would rather squat in the yamen and play cards, or just drink and eat meat with a bunch of cronies.

Don't provoke him, he really didn't take the initiative to provoke anyone, Li Shimin is quite relieved about this.

But, Mu Xiuyu Lin... Who made this kid so good that he was so golden everywhere, making people jealous.

Forget it, let him get busy quickly and not think about those messy things.

"When will the three bridges be completed? Do you know that the population of Luoyang City is getting denser and denser now.

The traffic became more and more impeded, and the two bridges in the east and west of the city were far from being able to meet the travel needs of the people.

"Even some courtiers living in the south of the city have to get up early in the morning in order to catch up with the early court. Coming from the south of the city, it takes nearly an hour to reach the palace."

"Furthermore, the rapid increase in the number of ferries in Luoshui has caused traffic congestion in Luoshui's waterways, and the people have complained a lot."

Hearing what the father-in-law said, Cheng Chubi held his head high and made a promise.

"My father-in-law, please rest assured that the three bridges in Luoyang City will be completed in half a month at most."

"At that time, it will completely replace the past transportation method that can only rely on ferries to travel from south to north."

"Hearing what you said, the old man will really wait and see. By the way, do the three bridges have names?"

"My father-in-law already has them. The one in Tongtuofang is called Hantang Shanghang Peony Pavilion Bridge, the one in Chengfufang is called Qianqiu Bridge, and the one in Wenluofang is called Wanzai Bridge."

Li Shimin smacked his mouth, always feeling that there was something wrong with this kid, and his name was good for a long time.

But why is there a Peony Pavilion Bridge of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the middle?

"...Cheng Sanlang, what do you mean, boy? Does the Hantang Commercial Bank also want to last forever?"

"No, no, my father-in-law, you really misunderstood. You know, these three two-way six-lane viaducts were fully built by Hantang Commercial Bank."

"The imperial court and the Luoyang county government did not ask for a copper coin. Before, my father-in-law, you also said that as long as the Hantang Commercial Bank is willing to pay, the naming rights can be handed over to the Hantang Commercial Bank. Let us decide."

Seeing Brother Chu Bi's eyes, Li Ke understood that it was time for him to open his mouth.

"That's right, father, one side is eternal, and the other side is ten thousand years, which naturally means that my Great Tang can last forever.

We only took one of the bridges and named it after the Han-Tang Commercial Bank..."

Li Shimin looked at these two restless young people, rolled his eyes, and tapped his fingers on the table for a long time.

He opened his mouth to speak a few times, but finally shut up resentfully, mumbling something in a low voice.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Chubi suddenly felt a sense of confidant. It seems that the old man, like himself, has difficulty in naming.

After a long time, Li Shimin was a little hesitant and said authentically.

"Since you only named the bridge in the middle, how about the one in front of Chengfufang be called Datang Qianqiu Bridge, and the one in front of Wenluofang be called Datang Wanzai Bridge?"

Zhao Kun stood aside with his head held high: "..."

Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke: "..."

Seeing the stupefied looks of these two young men, Li Shimin couldn't help becoming a little annoyed, and slapped the desk lightly.

"The old man asked you something, why, pretending to be deaf and dumb?"

"No, no, father, you wake up very well. My son thinks that adding the word "Datang" in this way directly serves as the finishing touch."

"Yes, that's right, so that everyone in the world can see my father-in-law's wish for the future of Datang.

That is ~lightnovelpub.net~ I hope that my Tang Dynasty can last forever, and the world will be peaceful..."

Zhao Kun, who was at the side, saw these two brazen young juniors brazenly flattering here.

However, His Majesty, who is wise and mighty, stroked his long beard, and squinted his eyes to be photographed peacefully.

Zhao Kun couldn't help but think of the adjectives that civil servants like to use when they infiltrate: lucky villain, treacherous and flattering, flattering...

It is absolutely appropriate to describe these two cheeky young men at this moment, without any exaggeration.

After a long time, His Majesty the Emperor of Tang ended the conversation with satisfaction.

"Okay, you two should build the bridge as soon as possible. Besides, the crown prince is about to arrive in Luoyang, although you are no longer a subordinate official of the East Palace, son-in-law.

But you and the prince are siblings, you need to keep in touch with each other frequently, and Ke'er, you should also walk around with your elder brother more..."

"My father-in-law (father) don't worry, my son-in-law (child) understands."
