I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

I cursed in my heart:

Pooh!

Stinky show-off!

Fang Xuanling looked at Cheng Yaojin who wanted to eat him again, took a step forward, put his face close to him and said:

"This kid still remembers what Fang said last night."

"He said: Grandpa, the emperor said this is a match made in heaven, it's true! After my son married the princess, he had good luck and made a lot of money. As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, I should give back to the Tang Dynasty and do something for the Tang Dynasty and the emperor!"

"When the Weishui Alliance was formed, he was still young and could not serve the country and resist foreign enemies. Now that he has grown up, he should contribute money and effort to the country and avenge his blood feud!"

Cheng Yaojin was breathing rapidly, and his fist, as big as a casserole, made crisp crackling sounds.

Tongling's eyes were wide open. If looks could kill, Fang Xuanling would have been cut into pieces by him.

Princess Le Kang, the Valkyrie of the Tang Dynasty who brought endless good luck to Sanlang of the Fang family, should have been his daughter-in-law!

The big money that Sanlang of the Fang family earns should belong to their Cheng family!!!

The officials in the court also understood at this moment that Prime Minister Fang had changed his usual calm behavior and became arrogant and ostentatious in response to Cheng Yaojin's attempt to trip him up.

Then I thought of what Fang Xiang said at the end: to fight against the Eastern Turks and avenge our blood feud.

His favorable impression of Fang Yiyi increased greatly. No matter how absurd Fang Yiyi's behavior had been in the past, at this moment, he was the best man of the Tang Dynasty!

In an instant, the jealousy they had just felt because of Prime Minister Fang showing off his son disappeared like smoke.

But everyone still had their eyes wide open, their ears perked up, and they were concentrating, looking forward to the next exciting scene.

On the high platform, Li Shimin looked at the 20% coal mine contract given to him by Fang Yiyi, as well as the description of the coal mine written by Fang Xuanling himself. He was ecstatic.

Just a few wealthy merchants paid 300,000 strings of cash as deposits for purchasing coal in the early stages. The Ministry of Resources estimated that the coal sold would only yield 1% of the total.

How much is the value of the two liters of coal mine that was given to him?

Chapter 48 Did I give the coal mine away for free?

The financial problems that had troubled the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and all the civil and military officials for a long time and had not had a perfect solution, disappeared!

Eastern Turks, wait for the moment when the Tang Dynasty's swords and black-armored cavalry descend! ! !

Hahahahaha!

Li Shimin was delighted and laughed out loud:

"Good, good, good! Fang Yiyi, the third son of the Fang family, is a man who cares about the country and the people and solves problems for the country. He is a man to be feared by the young people."

"The 20% coal mine in Aobei Mountain can solve the current disaster of the Tang Dynasty and benefit many people of the Tang Dynasty."

"Pass on my decree, and reward Fang Yiyi with 100 acres of fertile land, 100 taels of gold, and 100 pieces of gold, stone, and jade artifacts."

Having said this, Li Shimin still felt it was not enough, and asked Fang Xuanling:

"Xuan Ling, you are familiar with your San Lang. Which of these six departments do you think is the most suitable for him to go to?"

"Such a talent should serve the country!"

Everyone in the room looked at Fang Xuanling with envy.

At the same time, he was also curious about the value of the 20% coal mine donated to the emperor, which made the emperor give such a generous reward. He even discussed with Fang Xuanling about giving Fang Yiyi an official title.

Curiosity aside, everyone knows that Fang Yiyi has achieved great success overnight.

There are many sons and heirs among the princes in the court, and there are probably many outstanding ones.

But no one can receive such favor from the emperor as Fang Yiyi.

Just as Fang Xuanling considered and was about to speak.

Cheng Yaojin was like a madman, speaking without thinking, and impatiently stepped forward and asked Li Shimin:

"Your Majesty, are you talking about Aobei Mountain?"

"Aobei Mountain, a hundred miles north of Chang'an?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly when he saw Cheng Yaojin's rude behavior.

He was having a good time, how could he be so short-sighted?

Even if you don't get along with Fang Xuanling, you can't pick a fight with him.

He scolded: "Cheng Yaojin, how can we allow you to be so presumptuous in the court!"

"Come here, drag Cheng Yaojin down, have him face the wall and reflect on his mistakes, and let him come out when I give the order."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong were afraid that Cheng Yaojin would act recklessly again, and they were also worried that the guards in the palace would not dare to use force against Cheng Yaojin, and would instead be injured by Cheng Yaojin's irrational struggle.

The two good brothers who had conquered the world with Cheng Yaojin hurried forward and took the initiative to drag him out. Qin Qiong even covered Cheng Yaojin's mouth directly.

Fang Xuanling, who was "warm-hearted", kindly explained to Cheng Yaojin:

"General Cheng, this is the Aobei Mountain you gave to my son."

"Thank you General Cheng for the free gift. My son got a mountain of treasure for free!"

"In my heart, I really don't know how to thank you."

"General Cheng has a rich family and is very wealthy. Giving money as a token of thanks is too vulgar. How about this? From now on, my Fang family will take care of all the coal that your Cheng family needs."

The Cheng family’s coal is taken care of by the Fang family?

The coal delivered was the coal from Aobei Mountain that should have brought enormous wealth to the Cheng family?

then.

Cheng Yaojin recalled the day when Fang Yiyi came to the Cheng family to buy the mountain.

He was very smart and figured out the whole thing in an instant.

Fang Yiyi made money as soon as he bought the mountain.

This means we knew in advance that there was a coal mine in Aobei Mountain!

On that day, he pretended to buy Langwo Mountain, but finally set his real target, Aobei Mountain.

The third son of the Fang family used this tactic of making things more obvious on the Cheng family, making them run around in circles.

Come in person to buy the mountain and then donate money to show off.

Fang Xuanling deliberately said in front of everyone that the mountain where the coal mine was acquired by the Fang family was given to them for free by the Cheng family.

This is like stabbing Cheng Yaojin right in the heart!

I'm going to piss him off to death!

Murder and punish the heart, but so!

Chapter 49 I'm Going to Marry Fang Yiyi

Cheng Yaojin's eyes were bloodshot and his face was ferocious. He struggled hard. His strength was so great that Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong both looked tense. They tried their best. In this way, Cheng Yaojin's mouth was no longer restrained!

"You shameless boy, you actually plotted against me, Cheng Yaojin. Just wait for me. I... woo~"

Yuchi Gong was quick to cover Cheng Yaojin's mouth again, preventing him from saying any threatening words and putting Cheng Yaojin in an even more embarrassing situation.

Look, the emperor, who is always gentle, kind and benevolent, now looks very ugly and is rarely angry.

Fang Xuanling glanced at the emperor's face and regained his usual composure, as if nothing had happened just now.

He said to Li Shimin, who looked grim:

"Your Majesty, I thank you for the reward on behalf of my son!"

"As for the emperor's granting of an official position, I think..."

Fang Xuanling said in a sonorous tone:

"My son is weak, and I invited the imperial physician the day before yesterday. He cannot take on heavy responsibilities for the time being."

"I beg Your Majesty to wait until my son recovers before entrusting him with important tasks, so that he can serve the Tang Dynasty with loyalty!"

Li Shimin's attention was diverted. He thought about how Fang Yiyi almost drank himself to death before his wedding. If it weren't for the imperial physician's miraculous healing, the Fang family's wedding would have turned into a funeral.

My physique is really not good. If I really become an official, I will be busy with affairs and duties and will be exhausted to death.

Li Shimin was no longer polite and said bluntly:

"In that case, let's wait until Xingzhi recovers."

After saying that, Li Shimin turned around and left.

Zhang Ananda raised his head and shouted in a high voice:

"Retreat!"

The ministers crossed their arms and bowed, saying respectfully:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

......

Duke Cai's Mansion.

Du Ruhui sat in the room with a look of regret on his face. He brought the steaming sheep oil tea in his hand to his mouth, then put it down, sighing.

Mrs. Du at the side asked in confusion:

"Master, why do you look so sad after the court session?"

Then she asked worriedly:

"Is there an emergency at the border?"

Du Ruhui shook his head and said sadly:

"The border has been stabilized for the time being, and the food and salary issues have also been resolved. The situation is very good."

Since everything was fine, and Du Ruhui was still like this, Mrs. Du was really confused.

Without her asking, Du Ruhui told her what happened in the court today.

At the end of his words, Du Ruhui slapped his thigh and asked in confusion:

"You said that the third son of the Fang family finally changed his personality after getting married, which is why he has so much good luck."

"Or did he change his personality after marrying the princess, leading to his current situation?"

Mrs. Du could no longer sit still, so she moved a little and said in disbelief:

"You mean, the barren mountain that Fang Sanlang bought from the Cheng family turned out to be a treasure mountain?"

"Moreover, he has changed his personality and won the emperor's favor. Will he rise to prominence in the future?"

Du Ruhui nodded and said with a sigh:

"You don't know what Prime Minister Fang looked like in the court today."

"It's not enough to describe how proud I am."

"Fang Mou Duduan, this time, we are not as good as him."

Not as good as him?

Mrs. Du immediately felt that her husband was talking about getting into the wrong bridal sedan, and that she should not stop her daughter from marrying Fang Yiyi as a second wife or concubine for the sake of her reputation.

It caused a rift between father and daughter, and they missed out on such a promising son-in-law.

She immediately tensed her face and said unhappily:

"My dear, Fang Yiyi married the princess, so our second wife can't be his equal wife, she can only be a concubine."

"Even if the princess is willing to let Second Lady be her equal wife, even if Fang Yiyi is a banished immortal who has come down to earth."

"You, Duke of Cai, the legitimate daughter of the current right prime minister, marry someone and share a husband. Is that right?"

Chapter 50 Is there something wrong between the princess and Fang Yiyi?

Du Ruhui shook his head and explained:
