Chapter 675: King Qi, crazy?
Chapter 675: King Qi is crazy?
"If you ask for advice, you can't afford it. If you have any questions, Lord Tao can't say anything!" He had already guessed some of the intentions of Old Man Tao. Liu Yi lowered his head straight and said to Tao Yande with a light face.
"Haha, Brother Liu is polite. I have just said that apart from our respective identities and status, Brother Liu is enough to be my master in many aspects." After joking with a few words, Tao Yande looked at Liu Yiming seriously and said, "Just the day before yesterday, the envoy of Gaochang State brought tribute to the court, and the things he brought were not as good as the eleventh year in previous years. I guess General Qin and Brother Liu have heard of this matter, right?"
"Hmph! The wolf's ambition has shown its rebellious intentions. If we move forward for twenty years, I will definitely ask the emperor to personally fight and destroy him, Qu Wentai, so as not to be obsessed with others!" When he mentioned this, Qin Qiong felt a little angry. His body was always upset, and his beard was raised, and his mighty aura was soaring to the point of being a general.
"Just as Uncle Qin said, Gaochang is biased in the northwest, and in a small place, if the emperor has the will, a powerful army will be enough to destroy it, which is really not a concern." Hearing Tao Yande mention Gaochang, he saw that his eyes were always far away from him, Liu Yiu's heart was slightly abrupt, and he quietly echoed Qin Qiong's words and started to talk.
"With that being said, there are some things that I have to think more about," Tao Yande said in a deep voice: "In recent years, Gaochang has been stable, and my Tang Dynasty is becoming increasingly prosperous. Who gave Qu Wentai the courage to make him dare to rebel?"
After looking at Liu Yiyi deeply, Tao Yande continued: "As far as I know, General Hou Junji, the former Minister of War, now seems to have settled in the territory of Gaochang."
"What do you mean by traitors?" When talking about Hou Junji, the old man Qin Qiong's expression became a little unkind: "Even if Hou Junji can fight again, can he regret to touch the country of the Tang Dynasty just by relying on a small place like Gaochang?"
“…”
Liu Yi said silently and lowered his head without saying anything. Hou Junji had a rift with him. The reason why the old boy was now treason for Gaochang was also very related to him. It was really inconvenient for him to interfere in such a topic.
"Haha, let's not mention it, let's not mention this. We can discuss it casually for such military and national affairs, and we should not take it seriously." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Tao Yande smiled and started to laugh, and turned the topic away, and said, "However, when talking about the Gaochang Guogong incident, I heard an interesting story from it."
"Baidiezi, General Qin and Brother Liu have heard of it?" Tao Yande's eyes glanced at Qin and Liu and said with a smile: "The specialty of Gaochang Country is like a tree, flowers like snow, and an extremely cheap agricultural product."
When he came, the emperor finally got the news. Liu Yi suddenly realized that Tao Yande came here this time, and was afraid that he would come to touch his background according to the instructions of the wise king Li Shimin.
"I heard that a few years ago, I planted a few trees in the general's mansion. The trees are not trees, and flowers are all useless things." Qin Qiong continued to look at Tao Yande: "For no reason, what do you want to mention this kind of thing?"
"General Qin said, haha, but it's just such useless things," said Tao Yande, laughing, and turned his head to look at Liu Yiuan, and said, "Now there are people who are willing to spend a lot of money to collect, and they are almost charged Gaochang and the country's things. What is the matter of Guangjing? I wonder if Brother Liu knows why these people are trying?"
"The businessman, what he wants is nothing more than profit." Liu Yi looked up at Tao Yande with a wry smile: "When Lord Tao heard about this, he must have known that he would spend a lot of money to charge the white folded piece, that would be a kid."
After saying this, it would be meaningless if you hide it. Liu Yiu simply admitted it calmly and poked open the already thin window paper.
Moreover, originally, he did not expect that this matter would be hidden for a long time. It would be impossible to transport it back without any news. The only thing he did not expect was that it happened to be the time for Gaochang to pay tribute, and this matter would be seen so early.
"Oh?" Qin Qiong and Tao Yande couldn't help but look at Liu Yi's place.
Qin Qiong's eyes showed surprise. He had known that Liu Yi had been in business before and had made some achievements. But he did not expect that he could make such a big deal and collect materials from a country.
The old man Tao Yande's eyes showed curiosity. It is true that merchants profit by profit, but when does this profit come from? The white folds of thousands of pounds were transported from the Western Regions to the Sanyuan of Chang'an. The freight of cars and horses alone was a expense that was not less than the value of the goods themselves. After spending so much money, how should he Liu Yiu make a profit and compensate all these losses?
"As for why I collect a white fold and what is the use of it, it is actually the secret of my Liu family's business. It is not convenient to know about my uncle and Lord Tao in advance. I hope my uncle will forgive you!"
As he said, Liu Yiu's face looked a little shy and said, "Uncle and Lord Tao also know that my Liu family started a late business, had a small family and had a poor family, and the family was not rich enough. If you don't think of some ways to get some money, there are old people and young people here, and you may not be able to get rid of the blame. There is no way, so you have to take some risks and make your uncle and Lord Tao laugh."
"Um~"
Liu Yi's words caused a series of black lines to emerge on the foreheads of Qin Qiong and Tao Yande.
The family is small and the business is poor? The family is not wealthy enough? And... and... what's so poor that you can't even get rid of the pot? Who doesn't know that your Liu family is now a rare big family in the entire Chang'an area. Not to mention the money in the family is piled up like mountains, but why is it full of pots? It's so poor here, we despise you!
The two old men gave Liu Yi a look of contempt at the same time, with resentment in their eyes.
"Uh, that, ha," Liu Yi felt a little uncomfortable when he was seen by the two old men. Liu Yi seemed to be back in college and was squeezed to eat with a few unscrupulous brothers in the same dormitory for making a little money. He said noddedly: "Well, I heard from the family manager that this year's autumn tea has been collected. I asked my servants to bring two pounds of top-quality 'Sanyuan Tea' to my uncle and Lord Tao. How about it?"
Two jin of top-quality ‘Sanyuan Tea’?
The two old men's eyes lit up at the same time, and when they looked at Liu Yi, they had a kind look on their faces with a smile.
"This is a good boy!"
"Two jin of 'Sanyuan Tea', this...why are you so embarrassed! Hahaha..."
When they said this, the two old men didn't look embarrassed at all. Judging from their expressions, if the "Sanyuan Tea" was in front of them now, they might have snatched it directly.
Liu Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded to the two old men. After he stirred up such intentionally or unintentionally, he fooled the matter of collecting white folds and exposed the words aside.
"Master!" Just as the two old men Qin Qiong and Tao Yande were thinking about whether they would knock some more tea from Liu Yiuan, the old butler Qin Gui came from outside, bent over and bowed to Qin Qiong and said, "Master, General Manager Li Ran in the palace is here."
"Oh? Did you say what happened?" Qin Qiong sat firmly in the main hall and asked casually, without any intention of standing up and greeting him.
"Mr. Li didn't say the specific one, but judging from that meaning, it seems to have something to do with Young Master Liu."
"Oh?" Turning his head and looking at Liu Yiyi, Qin Qiong waved his hand to Qin Gui and said, "Then let him come in."
Qin Gui retreated and soon walked in with Li Ran again in a short while.
"General Qin, Lord Tao, Mr. Liu, you are polite here!" After entering the door, he saw Tao Yande also here, Li Ran was stunned for a moment, but he still respectfully stepped forward to greet the three of them.
"Well, thank you Mr. Li for your hard work," he nodded slightly. Qin Qiong glanced at Li Ran, without sitting in the seat, without asking for tea, and asked him directly: "I don't know what Mr. Li is coming here?"
"Go back to General Qin," as if he was used to this situation, Li Ran did not make any false conspiracy and bent over and said, "According to the emperor's order, I'll invite Mr. Liu to go back to the palace."
"Huh?" Qin Qiong looked up at Li Ran as if inquiring, waiting for his words below.
"Just an hour ago, the car that escorted His Highness to His Highness King Qi has come back." Without hesitation, Li Ran replied: "But something happened to His Highness King Qi,"
After pausing for a moment, Li Ran looked up at Qin Qiong and the other two, and then said softly: "Your Highness of the King of Qi, he is crazy."
"Crazy?"
The three people present looked at each other. As soon as they arrived in Chang'an, they were crazy. Isn't this a coincidence?
"When I was in Qi, I was already a little confused." Knowing what the three of them were thinking, Li Ran spoke at the right time: "I just met the emperor in the palace, and even the emperor could not recognize him."
"Your Majesty, what does it mean?" Liu Yi asked Li Ran when he felt something.
"The emperor means to treat the doctor first." Li Ran bent over and said, "The imperial physicians are already in place, so I'll wait for Mr. Liu to go now."
"Oh, is that?" Liu Yi nodded slightly, and he felt a little disappointed. Judging from this, the emperor still has a deep affection between father and son, and is about to save Li You's life.
But why do you have to be there yourself? Didn’t the wise monarch Li Shimin know that he had any gaps with his five boys?
