At noon, the snow is still drifting, outside the noon gate of the White Emperor Palace, the wide carriage that Zhao Yu is riding slowly drives through the wide white jade avenue, and then kneels on one knee on both sides, and returns to the White Emperor Palace under the greeting of the fanatical Imperial City Guards.

Inside the carriage, the sparse rouge that had just been vomited was resting his head on Zhao Yu's lap at this time, his eyes closed, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Rouge's face was pale, so Zhao Yu looked down at Rouge's face, showing a little distressed, and just as the carriage had just passed the noon gate, the figure of the commander of the Imperial City Guard was already waiting on the side, and in the next breath, he stepped forward, solemnly handed over a letter in his hand to Liang Po, who was in charge of driving, and said softly:

"A level of dense folding, the gate of heaven. ”

Liang Po nodded, turned around and got into the carriage, and then the excerpt written by Tianmen Hou Jiangqing reached Zhao Yu's hand, who opened it and browsed it carefully.

This letter is very long, and Jiang Qing, the son of the king of Bei'an, explained the background of the Tongbei Chamber of Commerce and the causes and consequences of this matter very clearly, so after Zhao Yu read it, he roughly had a clear context about this matter.

Then Zhao Yu in the carriage condensed for a few breaths, and whispered to Liang Po:

"Let the official in charge of the affairs of the north go to the Imperial Garden first, and if he is just succeeded, the previous ones will also be called, and I will know what happened thirty years ago. ”

Liang Po left as ordered, and then the carriage first slowly drove to the summer palace, Zhao Yu hugged the rouge, sent it back to the palace, hurriedly took the tea handed by the palace maid, rinsed his mouth, and then continued to go to the imperial garden non-stop.

Si Tianjian was very efficient, so when Zhao Yu came to sit down in the imperial garden, there were already two Si Tianjian supervisors kneeling on the futon below, and when they saw the young emperor's tall body appear in front of him, they just knelt down to say goodbye.

"You don't have to be formal, just sit up. ”

Zhao Yu waved his hand slightly, sat down behind the imperial table, picked up the bitter tea that Liang Po had already brewed at hand, took a sip gently, and continued to speak:

"You are the high-ranking priest in charge of northern affairs in the Sitian Tower?"

The calm imperial voice in the imperial garden fell, and among the two people kneeling on the ground below, an old eunuch with white hair raised his head, lightly arched his hand, and opened his mouth in response:

"Back to Your Majesty, the little official was the last envoy of northern affairs, but he had returned to his hometown three years ago, and at this time the little brother next to him was in charge of northern affairs. ”

When the words fell, Zhao Yu nodded, and gently flicked the fold handed over by the prince of Bei'an to the front, and the fold that was bright red like blood and represented the first-level intelligence slowly floated down from the front.

Seeing this, the two Si Tian Jian Supervisors who were sitting in the room below saw this, their pupils shrank slightly, and then the old officials stretched out their hands to take them, and the two watched together, but the more they saw the rear, the more the old official's hand holding the fold trembled, and finally knelt down directly, kowtowed heavily and said loudly:

"Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers and other ministers are not effectively supervised, resulting in a big mistake in the Northern Tianmen Pass, and the crime deserves death!"

"I didn't let you and others come this time to settle old scores, but I had some questions I wanted to ask. ”

The young emperor's voice was as steady as ever, in fact, Zhao Yu also knew in his heart that Shan Wenbai's plan was so big, the secret of the means, and the length of the time span, if he didn't know it in advance, it would be difficult to find it at all, and then under the Xuantian Wood, the faint emperor voice continued to linger:

The fold handed over by Jiang Qing said that Shan Wenbai was an opportunity to go to Liuli City in the Extreme North Snow Field through a chamber of commerce called Tongbei, and took advantage of the loss of personnel to send a large number of monks to the Snow Field.

"Then how can you know that Shanwenbai in Shenjing City can control the Chamber of Commerce far away in Tianmen Pass without attracting the attention of all parties?"

Zhao Yu asked, in fact, it was also the key to the connection of the whole doubt, and then the old officials below fell into deep thought, as if recalling something extremely far away, and after a long time, he raised his head, looked at Zhao Yu, who was rich in imperial power in front of him, and slowly said:

"Your Majesty, this matter also needs to start from the geographical location of Tianmen Pass, as we all know, Tianmen Pass is located in the center of the 100,000 mountains, far from the inland areas of the thirty-six states, so in a sense, this Xiongguan can be said to be an enclave in the northern Huwo Mountain Range, and the connection between it and the hinterland of the dynasty depends on Tianmen Gorge, a canyon opened up from the mountain range, and the supply and transportation is extremely difficult, which makes the logistics department of the household department extremely headache every time.

"In this situation, about thirty years ago, Your Majesty, your father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, consulted with the ministers on this matter, and the old minister was still the northern envoy of Si Tianjian at that time, so he was also fortunate to participate in it, and the final result of the discussion on this matter was to expand the Tianmen Pass, and use the strong trade to drive the flow of people in the entire Tianmen Pass and the inland area, and then use the frequent exchanges and exchanges to transport the supplies of the entire northern army. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yu nodded, it is true that this decision, whether it was then or now, is extremely correct, which makes Tianmen Pass truly become a northern trade center, and at the same time greatly increases the heritage and thickness of the entire northern Xiongguan, and at this time, even if the connection between the entire Tianmen Pass and Ganzhou is cut off, it can also rely on its own reserves to persist for at least half a year.

Then the old eunuch with white hair pondered for a few breaths, and then continued to speak:

After the decision was introduced, the southern city of Tianmen Pass came into being, but there was another problem, that is, after the completion of the southern city, the people of the thirty-six states, because of the sinister name of Tianmen Pass, were reluctant to step into this dangerous place, so Shan Wenbai, who was the young Yin of Gyeonggi Prefecture at the time, proposed a strategy to form a powerful chamber of commerce in the name of the royal family in Shenjing City, and went to Tianmen Pass to play an exemplary role. ”

The old official's voice fell, Zhao Yu's eyes narrowed, and he spoke lightly, but there was a complete coldness in his voice:

"The name of that chamber of commerce is Tongbuk, and the organizer is Shan Wenbai, who is the young minister of Gyeonggi Province!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The old official arched his hand forward and continued:

After the completion of this chamber of commerce, the first trip made a lot of money, making the name of Tianmen Pass gold rush known to everyone at that time, and the entire chamber of commerce in the north of Daxia was ready to move, and also laid the foundation for the prosperity of Tianmen Pass at this time. ”

In the Imperial Garden, the old priest explained the connection between Shanwenbai and the Tianmen Pass Chamber of Commerce very clearly in a few words, and at that time, this could almost be regarded as a trick.

"Fake public, help private!"

Zhao Yu pressed the table in front of him with his right hand, his whole body leaned forward slightly, the coldness in his ebony black eyes was still there, and he continued to speak lightly:

"Shan Wenbai, this person, really will repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty, secretly cross the Chen Cang routine, and play out the flowers!"
