I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is a small punishment but a big warning!"

"You just earned 4.1 million strings of cash. His Majesty is envious, so he fined you ten years of fiefdom."

"Reflecting on your mistakes behind closed doors for ten days is the real punishment."

"You were confined to the emperor's house for ten days because of your favor to him and your cooperation in dealing with the Cui family of Qinghe."

Fang Yiyi understood, frowned and thought for a moment, then said:

"Grandpa, we have five million strings of cash in our house now, right?"

When talking about money, Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up, he held his head high and said, "I know all the money I have.

"Not only that, the porcelain embroidery shop you and your second brother run is also making a fortune every day!"

"There are now 6.34 million strings of cash in the palace!"

"Our treasury is full, and there are still more than two million strings of cash in the house in the backyard."

"So many?!" Fang Yiyi gasped.

In the early Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty's annual tax revenue was only about 20 million strings of cash.

In just over a month, his Fang family earned more than 6 million strings of cash.

This is the case even though both the porcelain embroidery shop and the coal mine have given up a lot of their shares.

No wonder His Majesty was envious and fined Fang Xuanling ten years of fiefdom.

next moment.

The father and son looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Originally an honest prime minister of the time.

Suddenly he became richer than the emperor.

Now money is needed everywhere in Datang.

If this is not handled properly, Your Majesty will be worried about it every day.

The envy and jealousy of other court officials may eventually turn into hatred, and they will look for opportunities to suppress and trap him.

Fang Xuanling's eyes flickered, and after a dozen breaths, he took a deep breath and said:

"We can't keep this money safely, we have to spend it."

“Or donate it!”

Fang Yiyi agreed and said, "Grandpa is right!"

"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it!"

Fang Xuanling immediately glared at him: "How can you talk like that? How can you be a thief?"

It is obvious that Li Shimin is now thinking about this money.

When Fang Yiyi talks about thief, isn't he referring to Li Shimin?

Purely suicidal talk.

Fang Yiyi immediately covered his mouth.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up and he said:

"Have it!"

"This time, His Majesty thoroughly investigated the assassination case and found the culprit who harmed you."

"My Lord, I deceived the emperor and executed the murderer privately, but Your Majesty only gave me a small punishment and a severe warning."

"Grandpa has to thank His Majesty for showing leniency!"

"No one can say anything bad about donating money for this reason."

All the money was spent to express gratitude to God.

Fang Xuanling's skill in flattering the emperor is truly amazing!

Then, Fang Yiyi added: "Grandpa is awesome."

"Besides, I met someone buried on the official road outside Chang'an City this time!"

"It proves that this official road needs repair."

"We now have one more reason to donate money!"

Fang Xuanling, with a look of satisfaction on his face, laughed heartily and said:

"Hahaha, my son, you have a very insightful opinion!"

"Grandpa, I am so pleased!"

Fang Yiyi smiled, crossed his arms and bowed, saying:

"It's all thanks to Grandpa's good teaching. This son is a good father and a good son."

next moment.

Both father and son laughed out loud.

Princess Gaoyang, wearing a light purple double-breasted skirt, walked into the main hall holding a pot of mutton-fat ginger tea.

She smiled and asked, "Grandpa, Xingzhi, what's the big happy event?"

The two of them hurriedly stood up and saluted Princess Gaoyang.

"Meet the princess!"

"I've met my second sister-in-law!"

Fang Xuanling glared at Fang Yiyi who did not know the difference between respect and inferiority.

Even if Princess Gaoyang is the daughter-in-law of the Fang family.

Fang Yiyi has a good and close relationship with Princess Gaoyang, so he has to call her by her respectful title!

It got out and was known by outsiders.

It’s bad for Fang Yiyi’s reputation!

Chapter 458 Husband, please take Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter

The elders are in front.

Fang Yiyi saw the warning look and immediately changed his words:

"Meet the princess!"

Princess Gaoyang smiled and nodded.

Fang Yiyi then hurried forward, took the sheep oil ginger tea and said:

"Princess, for such trivial matters, just tell the servants."

Princess Gaoyang shook her head and said:

"Xingzhi, you have been injured and have been in the Imperial Hospital."

"If Grandpa hadn't told me that you were fine, your second brother and I would have been so worried."

"You came back today, but your second brother is still busy. I don't know how late he will be back. As your second sister-in-law, I can see you and your second brother will feel relieved."

Fang Yiyi and Fang Xuanling both smiled when they heard this.

Family harmony, that’s all!

Fang Yiyi smiled and said:

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, it will be fine."

"This time it was just a show. I pretended to be unconscious in the Imperial Hospital for a while."

"It makes my second brother and second sister-in-law worried."

Princess Gaoyang took a look at Fang Yiyi's expression and felt relieved.

She comforted him, "That's good!"

After Gao Yang bowed to Fang Xuanling as a junior, he turned and left.

Fang Yiyi didn't think it was a big deal.

Fang Xuanling said meaningfully: "See, your second sister-in-law has been in the mansion for so many years."

"This is the first time she took the initiative to serve tea when your second brother was not at home."

Fang Yiyi, with a puzzled look in his eyes, said with emotion:

"Ersou can't help himself!"

"However, what we two did won't embarrass Second Sister-in-law."

Fang Xuanling said with deep emotion: "Your second sister-in-law has suffered a lot over the years."

"Now your second brother is also working for His Majesty. As an imperial merchant, he can help His Majesty resolve some of his worries."

Seeing that Grandpa didn't want to discuss this topic, Fang Yiyi took the initiative to ask:

"Grandpa, how did the Cui family of Qinghe suffer this loss?"

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"The eldest son of the Qinghe Cui family, Cui Jingchuan, is not restricted to men or women!"

"When Cui Jingchuan's companion student Cui Ying saw that he wanted to discuss marriage, he kicked him away."

"I was immediately furious and filled with resentment!"

"You know what happens next."

Fang Yiyi was dumbfounded and said with a click of his tongue:

"Grandpa, this news is really a filthy ear."

"So, he really deserves it!"

Fang Xuanling said: "It's what he deserves."

"If not, if we want to find the weak spot of the Cui family in Qinghe, we need to make detailed arrangements."

......

Just two days later.

Fang Xuanling followed the agreement between the two men and spent all the 4.1 million strings of cash that Fang Yiyi had won in the gambling.

Li Shimin was so pleased that he didn't want to return to his homeland.

The original ten-day house arrest was lifted for Fang Xuanling on the fifth day.

The reason was that the Tang Dynasty was in a state of disrepair and needed a prime minister.

After the assassination, Fang Yiyi has been exercising at home.

I seldom even go to Zhuangzi's place.

Half a month later.

A snow-white dove landed in Fang Yiyi's South Garden.

Fang Yiyi and Chai Xueying, who were enjoying their leisure time, looked at each other in surprise.

"My dear, I haven't seen pigeons for a long time. It must be something urgent. Go and take a look."

Fang Yiyi was embarrassed and said quickly: "It should be something about Zhuangzi."

"His Majesty asked me to help him train his secret guards. It's really a headache."

Chai Xueying sat up straight immediately.

The round and full late autumn, as it moved, caused the dragon to raise its head.

Chai Xueying's face was originally full of seriousness, but after feeling the hot stick, her temples blushed and she said shyly:

"Oh, my husband, I'm having my period and can't serve you. You can take Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong away. They are my personal guards and are like sisters to me. They can be used as maids."
