"Emperor, General Gongsun Wude, the left-level general, has returned from the northwest border and is now seeking a visit outside the hall." Li Shimin had just sent Liu Yi and a group of imperial physicians present at Tai Chi Hall. He was about to go down to the hall to take a closer look at the illness of their fifth brother Li You, Li Ran quietly walked out of the hall and bowed to report.

"Gongsun Wude? Why did he come back so soon?" Li Shimin frowned. He calculated the days. Gongsun Wude was running back and forth day and night, and it was impossible for him to come back from the northwest in less than a month. What's more, he had to find out the details of "Yantian Ranch" there and discuss the ranch owners about the acquisition of the ranch and Yili Jianma. How could he return so quickly?

"Let him come in." After thinking for a while, Li Shimin waved his hand to order Li Ran, and at the same time ordered his guards to escort Li You. Whether it was true or false, Li Shimin had done his best to do his best to his son. If he could really save his life under the interrogation of the Ministry of Justice, it would be a waste of their father and son.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but remember Liu Yi's repeated behavior in the hall just now. Liu Yi's boy, who was so savage, must have seen something. Some of his strange actions when he first entered the hall also explained this. However, later he would pretend to be confused like those old doctors, and insisted that King Qi was crazy, which was a bit surprising.

The boy was always stingy and never wanted to suffer any loss. This time he could endure the words without wind or fire, which was rare, and it was just fulfilling his wishes.

In the future, Li Shimin touched a pinch of Hu Hu on his chin with his hand and thought in his mind whether he should give them more benefits to the Liu family?

"My minister Gongsun Wude, pay homage to the emperor!" Following Li Ran, Gongsun Wude stepped into the Jiji Hall step by step. Seeing Li Shimin sitting firmly in the hall, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to greet Li Shimin.

"Well, I have worked hard all the way, so I'll sit down and reply." He looked down at Gongsun Wude, and saw the old man looking dusty and sleepless, Li Shimin felt soft and couldn't help but speak first and gave him a seat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I have been traveling for less than a month. I have returned from the northwest so quickly, but what have I achieved?" Seeing Gongsun Wude sit down, Li Shimin spoke out and asked.

"Back to the emperor," Gongsun Wude stood up and stood up when he heard Li Shimin's question. However, when he saw Li Shimin waved his hand, he sat firmly on the chair and bowed and replied: "When visiting the previous king, the 'Yantian Ranch' does have a channel to buy Yili horses. If you raise enough money, you will be able to provide enough horse sources for our Datang Iron Cavalry, but,"

He looked up carefully at Li Shimin, and Gongsun Wude's voice couldn't help but drop a little, saying, "I heard from the words of Gongsun Helan, the nephew of Weichen, that the real owner of this 'Yantian Ranch' is like the Yang Mansion in Sanyuan, which was built by Yang Bofang."

"Yang Bofang? Why did he have some connection with him?" When talking about the Yang Mansion of Sanyuan, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown again when he was unexpected.

The Yang Mansion in Sanyuan is different from the other families. Yang Su, the descendant of the Duke of Ying of the former dynasty, had a special status and a special status. Although he was either an official or a title, his influence in the dynasty among the people was not to be ignored. To this day, many old ministers in the previous dynasty in the court were still moving around. If something happened to the Yang family suddenly happened, these people would probably not stand aside.

In addition, Yang Kunshang, the eldest son of the Yang family, is now the main garrison on the northwest border. Although the position is not high, the place where he is stationed is the gateway of the Tang Dynasty, which is dangerous. Especially now, Gaochang is making an act of rebellion, and the border garrison needs to be guarded to prevent it.

"Can you be sure?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Apart from him, Yang Bofang, I really can't think of anyone in my Tang Dynasty. Who can have such ability to open up the Wusun border and attract Yili Malay." Gongsun Wude bowed and replied. In his heart, Gongsun Wude also believed in this news. Otherwise, when he was in the northwest, the old man would not have just heard Gongsun Helan's words, and he didn't even have a detailed investigation on the ranch, so he ran back.

"Yes, when it comes to this business world, except for Liu Yi, who has just recently emerged, no one in the Tang Dynasty can do better than Yang Bofang." Li Shimin also nodded and said that when he saw Yang Bofang starting from scratch and marching in the shopping mall, he was not inferior to Liu Yi at all. Even if Li Shimin was far away in the deep palace, he had heard a lot.

However, a few years ago, Yang Bofang seemed tired and chose to retire, and had been living in Sanyuan County, and had never done anything amazing.

But this time... Li Shimin frowned slightly and said to himself: "For no reason, why did Yang Bofang start a business of grazing and raising horses again? Is it a purpose or just a place to get good luck?"

"If this is the case, according to Gongsun Aiqing's intention, if I was willing to buy the horse-buying route in his Yang Mansion, is there any possibility?" After hesitating for a moment, Li Shimin asked Gongsun Wude softly, since the owner of the ranch was Yang Mansion, the previous forced plan could no longer be used.

However, if they go to ask for advice with great deals, their Yang family may not really let go of such a profitable deal.

"This, the emperor..." Gongsun Wude looked embarrassed and said, "According to Weichen's understanding of Yang Bofang, this matter will probably be a bit difficult."

"One is not short of money, two is not seeking power, these three are not threatening," said Gongsun Wude, looking up at Li Shimin, and Gongsun Wude, then: "In addition, although Yang Bofang is easy-going, his nature is extremely stubborn. Anything he believes is that even a hundred strong cows cannot be pulled at all. I think this matter needs to be discussed according to the common plan."

He asked for love for Yang Bofang in different ways and said good things. He was an old friend, neighbor, and Gongsun Wude who had been with him for decades, did not want to see him suffer such an unintentional disaster.

"Well, my dear is right. It is related to the orphans of the previous dynasty. This matter should not be too reckless." Li Shimin nodded lightly. Although he knew that Gongsun Wude and Yang Bofang had a strong personal relationship, he was also very selfish in his words just now, but then again, he should not take it lightly for Yang Bofang.

Otherwise, it would be not a trivial matter for the old men in the court to have a fight with him, especially at this time, Li Shimin really doesn't want to cause any more troubles.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao patted Li Shimin's flattery. Gongsun Wude asked softly: "Your Majesty, when he was in the northwest, I heard from someone that it was a rebellion in Qi, and there was also some turmoil in Chang'an City. Duke Yi, Master Su, and Duke Song were plotted against one after another. I was very anxious and worried in my heart, so I rushed back from the northwest for days and nights. I wonder now...?"

Although I came back a little late and didn't catch up with anything, my loyalty was a must-see. Otherwise, wouldn't the journey of the day and night will be wasted?

"Well, I'm so relieved!" Li Shimin nodded and stroked his beard, looking at Gongsun Wude and said in a warm voice: "However, half a month ago, the rebellion had been eliminated. The symptoms of Duke Yi and Duke Song were alleviated by Mr. Liu Yiu-Liu. This matter has gone."

"Just today, before Gongsun Aiqing comes back," said Li Shimin, who was imprisoned by Fang again, said in his voice a little depressed, "Li You's rebellious son has been escorted to Chang'an. However, it's a pity that this rebellious son is already crazy and stupid, and he can't tell the reason."

“…”

Seeing that Li Shimin's wise wise king looked like this, he wanted to say a few words like the emperor's great blessings and great heaven, but he was immediately held in his stomach by Gongsun Wude.

At this time, it seems that it is not the best time to praise me. If one is not good, you may even get a frustration, which will make you lose a little.

"Uh, I'm a little distracted," Li Shimin finished speaking, as if he had remembered something again. He held his beard for a long time without saying anything. After a while, he inadvertently lowered his head and saw Gongsun Wude still sitting there with him silently. He couldn't help but raise his hand and pat his head, glanced at Gongsun Wude apologetically, waved his hand and ordered: "Gongsun Aiqing just rushed back and was exhausted. He didn't have to spend more time here. Now let's go back to the house to rest."

"As for the 'Yantian Ranch' Yilima incident," Shen looked at Gongsun Wude, and Li Shimin then ordered: "Since Gongsun Aiqing and Yang Bofang are neighbors and have some personal relationships, so there is no need to do anything for the second master, so this matter will be left to Gongsun Aiqing to handle."

Unable to allow Gongsun Wude to refuse, Li Shimin directly explained: "If you can convince the Yang family to offer a channel, it is best. The court will not treat them badly. However, if they don't want to, we shouldn't force it too much. After all, this forced melon will not be sweet, and there will inevitably be problems of one kind or another in the future, and it will be troublesome."

"According to my opinion, then according to the previous contract, we will first pull out some deposits from the Ministry of Revenue, so that the 'Yantian Ranch' will raise a batch of Yili Malays first." Li Shimin stood up from the chair and said decisively: "In short, the establishment of the Yili Iron Cavalry in the Tang Dynasty is imperative, and there must be no carelessness!"

"Yes, the emperor! I understand!" Gongsun Wude bowed and responded to the matter. He looked up at Li Shimin, who was in charge of the palace. Seeing that he was too unintentional, he stood up and left the palace with a tactful look.

"Li Ran, what is Tao Yande's words about the Liu Mansion collecting Baidiezi?" Seeing Gongsun Wude leave the hall gate, Li Shimin raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows gently between his eyes and eyebrows. He remembered Gao Chang's tribute, and in front of him, he forced himself to ask Li Ran with his spirit.

"When the prince went back to the emperor, the villain asked, but he didn't know anything about Shangshu Tao." As if he had expected the emperor to ask such a question, Li Ran bowed leisurely and replied: "When the villain was ordered to go to the Duke of Yiguo to ask Mr. Liu for help, he saw that Lord Tao was there at that time, and thought that he would go to Mr. Liu to ask in person and find the answer. However, looking at Lord Tao's expression and behavior at that time, it seems that he did not achieve any substantial results, but it is still unknown."

"Oh, is that?" Li Shimin nodded slightly, and then said, "What's the situation in Sanyuan Liu Mansion? How do they deal with the white folds that were transported back?"

Liu Yi used such a big move this time, and millions of tons of white stacks were transported back from Gaochang. It was huge in scale and magnificent, so it would be difficult for the court to not pay attention.

"All of them were hoarded together, their use was unknown, and their motives were not obvious. The Liu Mansion had no special actions except to be amazed at the excessive number of Baidiezis." Li Ran replied tightly: "According to the villain's eyes, in the entire Sanyuan Liu family, except for the butler of Liu Wuchen's house, other servants, including Lord Liu Ertiao Liu, probably don't know much about this."

"Well, this Liu Yiu is secretly doing things," Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "First, the 'three bowls of 'no-top' that were drunk', and then the 'three-yuan tea' of 'Liu'. Now he has made so many white stacks. What exactly does he want to do?"

There is no doubt that there must be articles on this white stack, but few people know about how to write and polish this article, and it also makes people feel upset.

Without answering Li Shimin's words, he looked up carefully at the emperor. After Li Shimin's words fell, after a while, seeing Li Shimin's mood slowed down, Li Ran lightly stepped forward and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, just now, shortly after General Gongsun entered the palace, someone from General Luo's mansion also came to General Luo's house, saying that General Luo and the others had already returned."

"Oh? Liu Laoshi and his wife, are they here too? Where are they now? Are they safe on the road?" Hearing this message, Li Shimin felt a little excited and opened his eyes and looked at Li Ran.

"Mr. Liu's parents, younger sister, and a family of three, all arrived safely." Li Ran replied sharply: "I am currently living in General Luo's mansion, and one hundred guards under General Luo are responsible for the guards. I wonder if the emperor wants to summon them to the palace to meet?"

"That's not necessary. They can come back safely. Even if I fulfill half of my promise, there is no need to call them into the palace to avoid being restrained." Li Shimin waved his hand lightly and ordered Li Ran: "You just go to the tutor Liu Yiyi. Now he is more anxious than anyone else to see the three of them."
