"Millions of dollars, for them, it's not worth mentioning. As long as the Son of Heaven can continue to trust them, there is no doubt about it, and there will be no loss. ”

Li Mi said in a leisurely voice: "Just like Yuwen said, that guy takes nearly 20 million yuan in bribes every year, and his family has piled up mountains of gold and silver in a year or two. How much money can his family get in the black market? Not even a fraction of what he usually takes in bribes. I don't know about Yu Shiji and Pei Yun, but the annual income of these two people is not inferior to Yu Wenshu. If you offend Your Majesty because of the black market, then no matter how much money you make here, it will be a big loss. You need to know that our son of heaven has never been a weak and incompetent lord. provoke him to anger, and the consequences will not just be dismissed from office and abandoned. ”

Yang Xuanzong couldn't help but be silent, he thought that if it was him, he would indeed make the same choice.

In fact, if a few years ago, the Duke of Chu was able to use money to regain the trust of the Son of Heaven, then why would it be a waste of money? Not to mention millions of guan, even tens of millions, it would not care.

But the problem is that my father was too powerful during his lifetime and was deeply jealous of the Son of Heaven. Now he is only willing to raise them in a high position, and he will never give them the slightest chance, and now the Duke of Chu State, even if he is willing to take out the money, the Son of Heaven will disdain it.

He was still unwilling, and his eyebrows frowned into a Sichuan character: "This is the five nobles in the court, but the other princes and ministers will not be willing?"

This is not bad, but at this moment, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to get this Li Kaifu. ”

Li Mi shook his head: "Don't forget, what errand is he on now." ”

Yang Xuanzong was slightly stunned, and suddenly became depressed.

Li Shimin is the general of the embroidered clothes, and he is responsible for tracking down the Demon Dragon Babu, and the powerful people he said, before attacking Li Shimin, first of all, he has to worry about whether the latter will take this opportunity to get them involved with the Demon Dragon Babu, right?

So in the past two months, they are still helpless with this guy?

"Childe, if you are really angry, it is okay to provoke some people to find him unlucky. In this world, there has never been a shortage of stunned young people and fools like Xue Rengao. ”

Li Mi rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers with a little distress: "But in this matter, the more hidden it is, the better, and it is best not to leave any traces." ”

He then remained silent and looked behind him. The red-whisk girl who left before has not yet returned.

Li Mi pondered slightly, and then instructed the black-clothed subordinates behind him: "Pay attention to Yang Hongfu, but if she has any abnormal behavior, she needs to report it to me and Gongzi." ”

When Yang Xuanzong heard this, his eyebrows suddenly froze: "Didn't the Dharma Master think that there might be something wrong with her with this red whisk?"

"I'm not sure, but be prepared. ”

Li Mi's eyes flashed: "I've asked people to check what the connection is between her and that driver's member, I hope it's not the worst situation." And now, what I'm most worried about is not her, but Grandpa Gao—"

"Are you worried about Gao Shicheng?"

Yang Xuanzong knew that what Li Mi said must be this one. Gao Shicheng is the imperial eunuch in the palace second only to the chief eunuch, and he is also the 'palm seal' of the Son of Heaven.

In addition, this person is also the biggest aid in the palace of their Chu State Mansion and by the side of the Son of Heaven.

"Father-in-law Gao shouldn't have anything to do with today's incident, right?

The problem is that the intelligence system of their Chu State Mansion does not have such a situation.

"Grandpa Gao has nothing to do with here, but what I'm worried about is that guy will take the opportunity to set up a trap. ”

Li Mi's brows furrowed: "If my guess is correct, Lord Guogong must have explained to Grandpa Gao, as long as he sees a suitable opportunity this time, he can try to blow the wind in the ears of the Son of Heaven, or even put that Li Shimin to death?"

Yang Xuanzong didn't know what he meant at first, but when he meditated for a while, he also changed color. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty's imperial ship has left Luoyang, and Gonggong Gao must have been on his side, and it is not easy to notify him-"

On the morning of the next day, Li Shimin led people to push a full 1,200 four-** cars to Chang'an City.

- That's not all, it's just that due to the limited number of four ** cars, only part of it can be transported back to the city first. The remaining part of the dark city must be divided into three waves before it can all be sent to the major treasury of Chang'an City.

And with the transfer of the scribes from various yamen in the city, and the arrival of some merchant inn accounts borrowed by Li Shimin, they have already had a more detailed result of the inventory and valuation of all the seized materials.

Among them were 34,200 pieces of ink armor of various colors, 76,000 weapons such as swords and halberds, 230,000 pieces of porcelain of various colors, 4 million horses of silk, 220,000 catties of spices, and a number of other materials of various colors—the total price ranged from 45 million to 49 million kan.

Those forbidden things such as ink armor weapons naturally have to be confiscated directly. For the rest of the goods, these private merchants can still redeem them as long as they pay back the commercial taxes and fines.

This means that the imperial court can harvest more than 20 million yuan from these goods.

Li Shimin knew that this was probably not the real price of these goods. Needless to say, many of the things in them came from the master behind them. As for those swordsmen and pencils, as long as someone is willing to spend money, they can add damaged and obsolete marks on the back of these goods, so that the valuation can also be greatly reduced.

However, although Li Shimin's heart is like a mirror, he has no intention of getting to the bottom of it, and his approach to the people below is to turn a blind eye. As long as it's not too much, just don't know.

In this world, if he can't be with the light, then he can't do anything. He's not the kind of person who is the bone instrument, and he can't be the kind of person.

Unless one day, he can become the supreme in the world and uphold the artifact, or he can try to cleanse the world and wash away the filth in this world. But with such a rebellious idea, Li Shimin only dared to reverie a little bit, and never dared to really have such a thought.

On this day, Li Shimin was busy for a whole day, and it was not until midnight that he returned to his family's Tang Guogong Mansion in Chang'an.

This is a mansion built during the Kaihuang period, but because Li Yuan had been serving in the field at that time, he basically had no opportunity to use it.

And when he returned, the subordinates who were in charge of guarding the mansion here were all in front of the mansion, and then they helped everyone settle down, shouting and asking for warmth, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Li Shimin didn't have this treatment before, and it was already very good not to be bullied by these slaves. But now the times are changing, the young man who was disgusted by his father back then, and his grandmother didn't love his uncle and didn't love him, has now become the founding uncle, the minister of the court, and his status in the court has greatly surpassed his brother, how can these fools be disrespectful?

The housekeeper of the Tang Mansion in Chang'an is named Li Sheng, although he is not as trusted by the master as Li Dai at home, but he is quite calm and capable.

Li Shimin brought four or five hundred people, all of whom were properly arranged by this person.

And after everyone rested, Li Sheng sent a letter to Li Shimin: "This is yesterday afternoon, a letter left by an official lady, she told the old slave that she must hand over this letter to the second son." ”

"Miss Guanjia?"

Li Shimin was puzzled for a while, and immediately opened the envelope, and asked at the same time, "Do you know who it is?"

Zhang Yurou immediately pricked up her ears, thinking to herself, why did another official lady come out? Could it be that this is Li Shimin's confidante again?

"It's supposed to be a girl who is not more than cardamom age. ”

That Li Shengzhi was endless: "In addition, there is a child to accompany her, which should be her younger brother." These two people waited in front of our Tang Guogong Mansion for three full hours in a carriage. I knew it was almost night, and then I left,"

Li Shimin carefully read the letter and found that the handwriting on it was not only beautiful, small and moving, but also quite familiar. By the time he looked at the payment at the back, he already knew who it was.

And Zhang Yurou, on her side, was already looking at Li Shimin with murderous eyes. I thought that I could wait in front of Tang Guogong's door for three hours, and the relationship between these two people must be unusual.

The latter's expression also scratched his head a little embarrassed: "This girl's name is Yin Yue'e, she is the daughter of our Li family's old friend, and her father is the Wu Benlang general of the Gu Zang Yin clan, and Zhuo County stayed behind in the Yin Shishi. ”

Gu Zang Yin's family, derived from the Nanyang Yin family, is rumored to be a descendant of Guan Zhong. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty Empress Guanglie Yin Lihua, it is the generation of hairpins, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Deng, Geng, Liang, Dou, Ma five families, and called the Eastern Han Dynasty six families.

Since the time of the Han and Emperors, Wei Wei Yin Gang was forced to commit suicide because of the witch Gu case, and his grandson Yin often sat in the crime, migrated to Wuwei Guzang, and opened up a branch of the Gu Zang Yin clan.

Then during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Gu Zang Yin clan gradually rose and flourished in the Great Sui Dynasty.

At the time of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the clansmen of the Guzang Yin clan had already come out of their martial arts Li clan's ancestor Wuzhao King Li Hui, and the official was Wuwei Taishou and became the wangmen of Wuwei County.

After Yin Hua, Yin Zhongda, Yin Zunhe, ** Fang and others, or knowledgeable, or capable, or superior in force, after Shi Wei, it can be said that step by step, became a well-known general at that time. There was even a clansman named Yin Zhibo who lived in the Southern Dynasty and became a close friend of Emperor Wu of Liang when Xiao Yan was in the palace, serving as the assassin of Liang and Southern Qin, and became a famous general at that time. His son Yin Zichun was in Nanliang, and he left a record of 'Hengguan Army' in the history books by force, and was a famous super-grade general at that time.

The eleventh grandson of Yin Gang, that is, the father of Yin Shishi, is the Yin Shishi, and he really rose in the northern Shilin. His life is young and fruitful, he has a martial arts, his surname is cautious, and he is the right-hand man of the first emperor, and he first guarded Youzhou for the first emperor. When Wei Chi was in turmoil, he was even appointed as the supervisor of the army - it is said that 'the discipline of the three armies depends on longevity, and the pillar country is promoted to the throne with merit'. After that, he took the march to manage Youzhou, that is, to worship the governor of Youzhou, and named Zhao Guogong, and posthumously presented Sikong after his death.

And Gu Zangyin's clan has thus become one of the top power lords in the Great Sui.

His son Yin Shishi is also very extraordinary, this person is now a rising star in the army, a rare super-grade general in the Great Sui. This person has moderation and loyalty, and when he was a teenager, he worshiped Yitong as a meritorious servant and moved to a hussar general. After the heir of the Son of Heaven, this person first led the Dongdu tile supervisor, and then worshiped Zhang Ye Taishou.

At that time, Tuyuhun and Dang Xiangqiang repeatedly invaded the border, and the imperial court was helpless. After the Yin Shishi took office, he personally led the county soldiers to win great victories, and beheaded all the captured prisoners, which shocked the Western Regions and was deeply jealous of Tuyuhun and the party. After that, the Yin Shishi entered the Wu Benlang general because of his merits, and the battle of Liaodong was out of Xiangping Road. At the beginning of this year, he stayed behind as Zhuo County.

Zhuojun is the back road of the Liao expedition, is the base camp of the rear, since the beginning of the eighth year of the great cause, has accumulated countless armor and grain and grass here. Strictly speaking, the importance of this position is even higher than that of his father's 'Huaiyuan Town Xingtai Shangshu'. It can be seen from this that the Son of Heaven trusts his people to what extent.
