The box in his hand was very beautifully packaged, and it looked like an extremely valuable item was placed inside.

Cui Kai opened the box, only to see a long ginseng inside, with intact roots and extremely gorgeous color.

Li Shimin looked at Cui Kai thoughtfully, and said, "Cui Kai, isn't this just a piece of ginseng? Why bother to wrap it in such a beautiful box? In my medicinal food room, there are many Such ginseng!"

Cui Kai felt a little guilty in his heart, but he still said confidently on the surface: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate this Ye Shan Shen, it was transported from Xunyang, a thousand-year-old ginseng!"

"Your Majesty, in order to buy this wild ginseng from the shopkeeper, I can spend 12,000 gold! Originally, I thought it was a bit expensive, but after thinking about it carefully, this is for the emperor. It's a gift, so it's worth it if it's more expensive!"

"Oh? Such a wild ginseng is worth 12,000 gold?" Li Shimin's eyes showed a trace of doubt.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cui Kai said: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate this wild ginseng, eat it, you can prolong your life, radiant, healthy, and live a long life!"

"Oh? Haha, this kid has a sweet mouth!"

"Haha, Your Majesty, please accept this wild ginseng. This is also my father's wish!"

After Cui Kai finished speaking, Cui Yansong also stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

Although it is true that this wild ginseng is a bit expensive to buy, as long as the emperor is happy, it is worth the price.

So Cui Yansong was quite happy in his heart.

However, at this moment, Li Chengfeng suddenly stepped forward and said, "I'm lying, father, this is just an ordinary wild ginseng! The price is around 1,000 to 1,500 gold!"

"Just yesterday, I wanted to buy this wild ginseng. Later, Cui Kai fought with me. I bid 10,000 gold, and he asked for 12,000 gold. I thought to myself, then give it to him! Actually Look, this is an ordinary wild ginseng, not much different from the wild ginseng in our imperial dining room, but it grows a bit bigger, like a white radish!"

"Cui Kai, do you dare to lie to me?"

Li Shimin immediately raised his eyebrows in anger.

Cui Kai suddenly panicked.

"Uh, here, I... Your Majesty, I..."

"Ding, the fear from Cui Kai, naughty value +350!"

"Ding, surprise from Cui Yansong, naughty value +380!"

"Ding, the smile from Luping State, naughty value +200!"

…

They still want to lie to the emperor?

But Lu Pingzhou and others were laughed to death.

And Cui Kai had calculated thousands of times, but he never figured out that the Eighth Prince would actually jump in and break his lie?

"Cui Kai, why don't you explain the matter to me quickly?"

Cui Yansong on the side was already furious, but he just held back his anger and didn't let it out.

After all, he was not qualified to get angry in front of the emperor.

And Cui Kai, a prodigal son, will sooner or later **** himself off. If you say you can lie to yourself, it’s fine. How dare he lie to the emperor?

Didn't he know that deceiving the emperor is a crime of deceiving the emperor and he will be beheaded?

Cui Kai stammered and said, "Father, Your Majesty, I really bought this wild ginseng from a pharmacy on Chang'an City Avenue at a cost of 12,000 gold. It's justified, and I'm absolutely not lying! "

Cui Kai was already shaking with fright.

Li Shimin said: "Then what does my eighth prince say, this wild ginseng is only worth one thousand gold? If it is really only worth this price, then you can just say it, why did you lie to me, saying that this wild ginseng is worth ten thousand gold?" What about two thousand gold?"

"Return, report back to the emperor, because, because I didn't know the eighth prince at the time, I thought in my heart that I must take this wild ginseng and give it to the emperor to nourish my body, so I didn't think too much, and bid with the eighth prince. , the price got higher and higher, and in the end, it took the little one 12,000 gold to get this wild ginseng! Your Majesty, the little one never lied to you!"

Only then did Li Shimin look at Li Chengfeng and said, "Feng'er, is there something wrong? Isn't he deceiving me?"

Li Chengfeng nodded, and said: "Yes, father, Cui Kai just wants to save face. Yesterday, my minister also wanted to buy this wild ginseng, so I bid with him. Later, I found out that he just wanted to save face." He's just a kid from an aristocratic family who wants face, so I don't bother to fight with him!"

"Oh? Then why do you want this wild ginseng? Feng'er, there are a lot of wild ginseng in the imperial palace, you can eat whatever you want!" Li Shimin said.

Li Chengfeng said: "No, I just like this!"

Li Shimin said: "That's fine, I'll give it to you!"

Li Shimin was very generous, took the wild ginseng from Cui Kai's hand, and gave it to Li Chengfeng without even looking at it.

"Um, this, the emperor, me, that..."

Cui Kai was a little incoherent.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "That's all, Cui Kai, I have received your wish, but this wild ginseng is really not worth the price, please withdraw it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cui Kai immediately lowered his head, and walked away dejectedly.

But at this moment, in his heart, he already hated Li Chengfeng to death.

When he was in Qinghe, he was the young master of the Cui family, how could he have been so angry?

The wild ginseng that I spent 12,000 gold to buy ended up in the hands of the Eighth Prince?

No wonder this kid suddenly stopped bidding with him yesterday.

He probably already guessed that the wild ginseng he bought was meant to be given to the emperor, and then he can just sit back and enjoy it?

Then why is he still bidding with himself? Isn't it obvious that you need to pay an extra ten thousand gold?

Seeing that the farce has come to an end, Cui Yansong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, he also opened his mouth to say what was in his heart.

Cui Yansong said: "Your Majesty, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com This time four of our five surnames are here to visit you. In fact, there are some things. What do you want to say!"

Cui Yansong sat upright, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, this year is a year of severe drought in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a natural disaster! Our family with five surnames should contribute our efforts, and those who should contribute money should also It’s all paid for!”

"Your Majesty, look at the fact that the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the weather is going well. You see, how about returning some of our mines and pastures, Your Majesty?"

"Hey, yes, your majesty, although the people suffered unspeakably in the year of natural disasters, your majesty is merciful and distributed free food to the people all over the country to survive the cold winter, but we also paid for it, your majesty, look , can our pastures and mines be returned to us?"

Lu Pingzhou also agreed with Cui Yansong's statement.

But Li Shimin has been drinking tea, turning a deaf ear to their words.

Because Li Shimin knew a long time ago that they came here for this matter.
