"What? The Lu family of Fanyang and the Li family of Zhao County are also participating in the donation gathering? "
In the bedchamber, Empress Zhangsun's exclamation instantly attracted Li Er's attention. He couldn't help but exclaim.
Earlier, when he and Xiao Yu were in the Sweet Dew Hall, Li Er saw that the Lantian County government had donated ten thousand strings of cash. He took the opportunity to discuss with Xiao Yu the "Way to Get Rich" of Lantian County. Then, he went directly to the harem. As for the last few lines of the account book, he didn't look carefully, so he didn't know that Lu Chengqing and Li Jingxuan were participating in the donation gathering.
Hearing Li Er's question, Empress Zhangsun pointed at the last two lines of the account book and said, "Yes! This account book says that the Lu family and the Li family of Zhao County each donated thirty thousand strings of cash. It's really strange. Didn't these aristocratic families all have their noses in the air before? Why are they so kind now, donating so much money to the court? "
At the end, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but sigh.
Li Er followed the voice and saw that the last two lines of the account book said, "The Lu family of Fanyang donated thirty thousand strings of cash! The Li family of Zhao County donated thirty thousand strings of cash! "
"Hmph! These people are just fence-sitters! They will naturally stand on whichever side is stronger! "
Li Er frowned and snorted coldly. "A mere thirty thousand strings of cash. They want us to forget all the things they've done and let down our guard against them? What wishful thinking!"
Empress Zhangsun was puzzled. "Your Majesty thinks that the Lu and Li families are donating money at this donation gathering to make peace with the court?"
"Make peace?"
Li Er shook his head. "Rather than making peace, it's better to say that they want to temporarily lower our guard against these two aristocratic families. In the battle of Guan City, the strongest Qinghecui, Bolingcui, and Xingyang Zheng families were all defeated and executed. The Lu family and the Li family of Zhao County should have felt the danger, right? However, this situation is only temporary. We believe that once the Imperial Court is weakened, these two families will immediately turn hostile and return to their original arrogant thousand-year-old families! "
Empress Zhangsun nodded thoughtfully, but then she smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right. But no matter what, the Zheng and Li families have donated 60,000 strings of cash, which can more or less alleviate the urgent situation of the court. They are helping the court to support the army. When the Tang Empire returns victorious from the northern expedition to the grasslands, the imperial power will be at its peak. I believe that at that time, even the Zheng and Li families will not dare to be disloyal."
Hearing this, Li Erzuo paused for a moment and then laughed out loud, "Haha! Maid Guanyin is right. Regardless of whether or not these two families have ulterior motives, the sixty thousand strings of cash is real. How can the court not accept money that is given away for free? "
The couple looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Chengqing and Li Jingxuan, who were staying at the Longmen Inn in Lantian County, did not know of the conversation between Li Er and Empress Zhangsun. Otherwise, the two of them would have shouted, "This is a huge loss!" or "We've been tricked!"
Although their participation in the donation gathering this time was indeed to gain the favor of the imperial court and let the imperial court relax their vigilance against the Lu and Li families, Li Er and Empress Zhangsun had seen through their goal without any effort. This was not fun!
"Brother Lu, Lantian County is indeed different from other places. There are many shops in the city, and the streets are crisscrossed. It is said that all the streets are made of cement developed by the Curious Pavilion. And this Longmen Inn, whether in Zhao County or Fanyang, there is no inn as grand and imposing as this. Of course, the most important thing is that it is comfortable to live in."
In the guest room on the third floor, Li Jingxuan sighed to Lu Chengqing, who was sitting beside him.
