Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

After saying this, he went straight into the hall.

As soon as he entered the Zichen Hall, Qin Wenyuan discovered that there was a person standing in the hall. This person was none other than Prime Minister Fang Xuanling.

When Fang Xuanling saw Qin Wenyuan coming, curiosity appeared on his face, but since Li Shimin was here, he couldn't speak. He could only make eye contact with Qin Wenyuan and nod.

After Qin Wenyuan responded to Fang Xuanling, he walked to the front of the hall and bowed to Li Shimin: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Stand up, no need to be polite."

As soon as Qin Wenyuan stood up, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Qin Wenyuan, shouldn't you be presiding over the Council of Nations at the post station at this time? Why did you come to see me?"

Fang Xuanling also had the same question.

The arrival of all nations in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the biggest event in the Tang Dynasty at present.

Although Qin Wenyuan was the only one responsible for this matter and Li Shimin strictly prohibited others from interfering, Fang Xuanling and others could not remain indifferent and were all paying attention to this matter behind the scenes.

So they all knew very well that under normal circumstances, Qin Wenyuan should be calculating against the envoys at this time.

So, why did Qin Wenyuan come to the palace at this time?

Did something special happen?
The two curious babies stared with their big eyes, looking at Qin Wenyuan blankly and curiously.

At this moment, Qin Wenyuan's mouth corners slightly raised.

He looked at Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, and the youth's characteristics were truly revealed at this moment.

A little arrogant.

A little arrogant.

In front of envoys from other countries, Qin Wenyuan represented the Tang Dynasty and had to remain calm.

In front of friends like the Dog, he is the pillar of support for everyone and also needs to be calm.

And only in front of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and other older generations, could Qin Wenyuan take off the burdens he had to carry and reveal his youthful appearance.

He raised his chin slightly, looking somewhat proud, and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to receive the reward."

"What?" Li Shimin was stunned.

Fang Xuanling was also stunned.

But the next moment, Li Shimin seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly, his eyes widened.

A pair of bright eyes instantly penetrated the air and reached Qin Wenyuan.

His breathing suddenly quickened.

He clenched his hands and said hurriedly, "Qin Wenyuan, do you mean..."

Fang Xuanling was stunned when he saw Li Shimin, who was so excited that he almost lost his composure.

Li Shimin has been the emperor for all these years, and he has never behaved in such a way.

Even when he was in a life-and-death crisis before, Li Shimin remained so calm.

Therefore, Li Shimin's loss of composure immediately made Fang Xuanling realize that Qin Wenyuan might have done something extremely horrible.

And this is what Li Shimin expected!
It was something Li Shimin dreamed of.

Otherwise, as an emperor, Li Shimin had experienced all kinds of things and seen all kinds of good things, so it was impossible for him to lose his composure like this.

And combined with what Qin Wenyuan has done during this period.

And what Qin Wenyuan said to him before...

Suddenly, Fang Xuanling's eyes widened, his pupils trembled slightly, and he turned his head to look at Qin Wenyuan.

"Qin Wenyuan, could it be that you..."

The two people with the highest power in the dynasty were so excited at this moment that they could not control themselves.

Their eyes all fell on the young man at the same time.

Qin Wenyuan, facing their excited and excited gazes, nodded slightly, smiled, and said: "I didn't disappoint you all. The alliance of all nations has been established, and the leader of the alliance is the Tang Dynasty!"

"So, this time the invasion of various countries has finally turned into a tribute from all nations!"

"And Your Majesty, from now on... they will respectfully address Your Majesty as the Heavenly Khan!"

"The unprecedented prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has arrived!"

With a bang, it sounded like thunder in my ears.

Both Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling's minds went blank for a moment.

But the next moment, Li Shimin stood up suddenly, his eyes were red and his hands were shaking.

It's exciting.

Even more exciting!
Li Shimin's greatest wish in this life was to become an emperor of all ages. He wanted to leave a great image in history books that would be remembered and respected by future generations.

But he knew very well how difficult this wish was.

He has put in a lot of effort over the years, but human power is ultimately limited.

Things in the world are often difficult to do according to his ideas.

Amid internal and external troubles, he had already done everything he could to maintain the status quo of the Tang Dynasty.

He was about to give up this impossible wish.

But who would have known that at this moment, at this very moment, Qin Wenyuan actually told him that the Tang Dynasty had become the leader of the Alliance of All Nations, and he had become the Heavenly Khan.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty, an unprecedented prosperous era, has arrived.

His wish came true.

This this……

Li Shimin's eyes were red as he looked at the young man in front of him. His heart was extremely complicated. He didn't know what to say or how to express his excitement and...gratitude!

Yes, I am grateful!

Li Shimin is now truly grateful to Qin Wenyuan.

Because of Qin Wenyuan, his dream came true.

A dream that I have already given up!

And Fang Xuanling was not much better than Li Shimin at this moment.

At this moment, after being extremely shocked and surprised, he suddenly remembered drinking with Qin Wenyuan in the restaurant a few days ago.

When people were discussing the issue of all nations coming to pay tribute, Fang Xuanling praised Qin Wenyuan, saying that Qin Wenyuan had good control over public opinion.

And what did Qin Wenyuan say to him at that time?
Correct!
Qin Wenyuan said: "This is not public opinion, I will make it a reality!"

Finally, he really did it!

Fang Xuanling still remembers how Qin Wenyuan looked when he said this.

The young man stood in front of the window, the light shone on him. With his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he looked out at the scenery of Chang'an, and the magnificent capital of the Tang Dynasty came into his eyes.

The young man at that time was flamboyant, confident, and even arrogant!
At that time, Qin Wenyuan told Fang Xuanling that he would make it a reality for all nations to come to pay tribute!
It's not just public opinion that makes people believe.

But... the real truth!

But Fang Xuanling knew how difficult this was. After all, almost all countries that came to the Tang Dynasty had obvious malicious intentions.

Even if Qin Wenyuan is extremely intelligent and has great talents and strategies, what can he do in the face of such a powerful trend?

Is it really possible to defy heaven?

Even Fang Xuanling was full of pessimism at that time.

But who could have thought, who could have thought... Qin Wenyuan, was actually so amazing!
The overwhelming trend actually took a turn in Qin Wenyuan's hands, and finally... Qin Wenyuan took advantage of the trend, controlled the overwhelming trend, and swept all the others into it.

Qin Wenyuan did it.

His promises, as always, will be fulfilled!

The two people with the highest status in the world in the hall looked at Qin Wenyuan with extremely complicated expressions.

Shocked, shocked, delighted, relieved, admired, and even grateful... Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "Qin Wenyuan, you...how can I thank you? You have done such an extraordinary feat for the Tang Dynasty and for me! I...I really don't know how to thank you."

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Wenyuan's current title and actual power and official position are not low.

The title of Duke is the same as his own.

It is the highest level outside the royal family.

If you are promoted again, you will be crowned king!
But the matter of making a king involves a lot of things, requires consideration from all aspects, and is extremely complicated.

Moreover, the ancestral regulations and the rules set by Emperor Retired Emperor Li Yuan were like natural barriers standing in front of us.

So far, there has not been a king of the opposite sex in the Tang Dynasty.

As for the rank of official position, Qin Wenyuan himself said that he had no intention of entering the imperial court.

Li Shimin knew that his son-in-law had such an idea and he wanted to spend more time with his daughter Changle, so he let him do it.

However, even though he does not hold an official position, through these days of observation, all officials should know that he wants to support Qin Wenyuan.

Smart people will eventually know,

That is to say, in terms of name, there are some differences between Qin Wenyuan, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji.

But in actual status, there is no difference.

Therefore, it is normal that Li Shimin did not know how to reward Qin Wenyuan since he had made such a great contribution this time.

It is true that Qin Wenyuan has made so many contributions in just a few months that he is about to reach the top all of a sudden.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Look at Qin Wenyuan, then think about yourself...

What have you done in your life?

It took me decades to achieve what I have today.

And Qin Wenyuan, it’s only been half a year!

Until now, even His Majesty doesn’t know how to reward.

This... comparing people, there's really no comparison.

Fang Xuanling felt depressed for the first time.

Qin Wenyuan didn't know that Fang Xuanling had become depressed because of comparing himself with himself.

He just looked up at Li Shimin, smiled gently, and said: "Your Majesty trusts me and entrusts me with important tasks. Your Majesty treats me as a national hero, and I should repay you as a national hero."

"Not to mention, the Tang Dynasty is my home country. It is my honor to strive for the interests and glory of my home country. Therefore... Your Majesty does not need to think too much. I am happy to seek benefits for my home country!"

There is a big gap between Qin Wenyuan and some officials of this era.

Perhaps he came from later generations and attached great importance to the concept of home and country.

This country is not the country of future generations.

But the land is still the same land!
The hardworking and simple people are still the same people.

Therefore, Qin Wenyuan still has that kind of thoughts for his family and the people.

To him, his country and home are no longer just a place where he is, but a spirit and a sustenance.

Something that runs in your bones.

If someone bullies my country, I should fight back bravely!

This matter has nothing to do with interests.

This is the instinct that every son and daughter of the country should have!

Therefore, even if Li Shimin did not reward him, Qin Wenyuan did not care.

This time, he was not targeting Li Shimin.

But it is the Tang Dynasty and this land.

It is national glory and honor.

Qin Wenyuan is open and honest and has no requests for anything.

His open-mindedness made Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling feel deeply moved.

Over the years, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling have seen many people fighting each other for profit.

Seeing how many people have no benefit, they turn a blind eye even if it is something that can be easily done.

Compared with them, Qin Wenyuan was really far superior to them.

Without comparison, you won’t know how good Qin Wenyuan is.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, looked at Fang Xuanling, and said, "Xuanling, do you think it's okay for me to give Qin Wenyuan more rewards?"

Fang Xuanling looked at the handsome young man with a straight back in front of him, was silent for a while, and then said: "Based on Qin Wenyuan's merits and Qin Wenyuan's moral character, I... have no objection!"

Neither of them said what reward they would give to Qin Wenyuan.

But Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, the monarch and his minister who worked together extremely well, had already made a decision at this moment.

Fang Xuanling knew what reward Li Shimin was going to give to Qin Wenyuan.

This will create an unprecedented precedent in the Tang Dynasty!
But at the same time, the difficulties are also enormous.

After all, this is a major deregulation effort!

But Li Shimin has to do it!
At this moment, Fang Xuanling also supported Li Shimin in doing so!
Even if there are thousands of obstacles, the two of them will work together to break them!
Qin Wenyuan didn't know what Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were talking about, but he was smart and he knew that the two must have made some secret decision.

And this must be difficult.

"Your Majesty, I have already said that I do not want any reward, so Your Majesty..."

"Qin Wenyuan!"

Before Qin Wenyuan finished speaking, Li Shimin interrupted Qin Zulai and said, "You don't want a reward, that's because you are indifferent to fame and fortune and don't care about benefits!"

"You can refuse it, but I cannot refuse your reward. No one knows better than me how much you have contributed."

"So, if I don't reward you, not only will it chill the hearts of the people, but I myself will also not be able to get over this hurdle!"

"So, just wait patiently! I just want to tell you, do whatever you want to do, don't worry about the rear, and don't worry about whether it's worth doing these things... I'm telling you now, it's all worth it! The Tang Dynasty deserves you to do this, and I deserve you to do this too!"

"I will never let you down!"

This is Li Shimin’s promise!

These are also the few promises in Li Shimin's life that he will never break!
He would never let Qin Wenyuan down, this young man who had saved the day many times.

We have let down this young man who has always had a sincere heart and has paved a smooth path for the Tang Dynasty in this cruel world!

Qin Wenyuan saw that Li Shimin had a determined expression and had made up his mind to do something huge.

He really didn't know what Li Shimin was trying to do.

I don’t know what Li Shimin wanted to reward me with, which required a dignified emperor to show such an expression.

But he also knew that once Li Shimin made a decision, it would not be easy to change.

So... Qin Wenyuan could only let it go.

He couldn't influence the emperor's thoughts, not to mention... the emperor wanted to reward him, so he had no reason to refuse.

Qin Wenyuan did not actively ask for rewards because of his patriotic thoughts, but that did not mean that he would refuse the rewards when they really came.

After Li Shimin made the decision, he no longer worried about the reward. He looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Qin Wenyuan, what should we do next?"

"The Ten Thousand Nations Alliance was established, and the Tang Dynasty became the leader of the alliance. What happened next?"
