Chapter 181: Carp
"Hmph, I'm here to collect the bills, prince, where is the glass cup you promised to give me back bigger and better?"
Hearing this voice, Li Chengqian put the black charcoal head on the ground and quickly stood up to prepare to greet him.
There is no need to greet him, Li Shimin has never been the emperor or Lao Tzu, and every time he comes to the East Palace, he is sneaky, like a thief.
But today, this person did not enter the East Palace as a thief, but a debt collector.
The weather has begun to enter winter, but Li Shimin is still lightly dressed and thinly belted. Although there are a lot of children, his anger is no different from when he was young.
As soon as he entered the study, he ignored his saluted son, and then casually kicked the black charcoal head that pounced on him to move his mouth, Li Shimin's vision was completely attracted by the Shuanglong Zun glass cup on the desk.
"This...."
couldn't help striding forward, but carefully picked up the glass cup, Li Shimin's eyes were red. This cup is crystal clear, and you can even vaguely see the figure of a person in front of Zhang Yun, and under the rays of sunlight that comes in from outside the door, the cup is even more crystal clear, how to look at it, how valuable it is.
"Where did you buy it from?"
was still intoxicated just now, and the next moment Li Shimin began to grit his teeth.
The value of such a cup was immeasurable, and he could not imagine how the prince had obtained it.
Whether it is spending a lot of money or bullying others, it is not the result he wants to see. Although he also likes to show off, he will be angry when he sees his son spending a lot of money to show off.
Stretching out his hand to ask for a cup from the reluctant emperor, Li Chengqian took the cup and asked, "Father, make an analogy, make an analogy!" If Erchen said that this thing was bought for 50,000 yuan, do you believe it? ”
Li Shimin shook his head: "Fifty thousand? Don't open your mouth if you don't have a hundred thousand cups like this. And it has to be the premise that the owner is willing to sell, you must know the glass ball or something, many Hu people's wealthy merchants on the market are selling, but the best has always been priceless. I almost got into a fight with Motoyoshi on the spot for that wine glass. Otherwise, why do you think I'm so angry? ”
After the rhetorical question, Li Shimin felt that the topic was far away: "Don't fork the topic, I ask you where you got this glass cup." If it's Bo Liu San of Ankang County who just went out, hum. ”
The ornaments of the five-clawed dragon, ordinary people have the most to take a board, and if the nobles have it for a long time and do not dedicate it to the emperor, it is a great crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan. Liu San was originally a wealthy merchant in Jinyang, and he obtained the title as a businessman by contributing money to help Emperor Taishang raise troops. Such people, generally in the lower part of the wall of the apse of the Hundred Blessing Palace, were the objects that the emperor was ready to remove at any time.
Li Chengqian didn't want to pit Liu San, so he threw the Shuanglongzun glass cup in his hand casually.
Li Shimin was shocked, but when Zhang Yun wanted to make a move, he was attracted by the cry of the black charcoal head, so the cup fell to the ground and fell apart.
"Father, this thing is not as valuable as you think. Glass? Heaven and earth generated? It's all, it's a rhetoric used by beards to deceive people. In fact, like porcelain, it is made of sand. ”
"Burning sand?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin let go of his clenched fist, if Li Chengqian said it more slowly, his fist would hammer Li Chengqian.... Zhang Yun's face on the other side.
There is no way, seeing a treasure shattered in front of his eyes, even if he is the emperor, he needs to exude the regret in his heart. His own son can't be beaten, this punch is easy to kill, and it is his right to take Zhang Yun to open the knife.
Taking out another box from the drawer of the desk, Li Chengqian handed it to Li Shimin and said: "When the Shuanglong Zun was made, Erchen was ready to smash it, you are the Ninety-Five Emperor, and there are only two dragons hanging on the cup. Therefore, Erchen asked the craftsman to make a cup of nine dragons, which is in line with your status! ”
When he opened the brocade box and saw the Nine Dragons Supreme Cup inside, especially when he saw the four dissimilarities burned out of a piece of sand and stone next to the cup, Li Shimin suddenly didn't feel red anymore.
It's just broken things from the sand burning.
Putting the brocade box on the table, Li Shimin sat on Li Chengqian's chair, and also crossed Erlang's legs and asked, "When I came here just now, I met Bo Chen San of Ankang County, and he told me everything. Stinky boy, what are you going to buy a green house for! Believe it or not, the Zongzheng Mansion will directly call you to punish when they find out? ”
The dignified prince opened the Qinglou, but he lost the face of the royal family and even the entire Tang Dynasty, so the Zongzheng Mansion really will not show mercy in this matter.
Li Chengqian poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Shimin before saying, "Erchen is going to slaughter those Hu merchants, as well as the caravan of Goryeo." Previously, they were detained in Chang'an because of the locust plague, and although the ban was lifted, they could only continue to stay in order to avoid the cold season on the way. Look at where they live, they are all court officials or the courtyards of wealthy families, rich people! Erchen wants to build an academy, and he will need a lot of money in the future, so he is ready to make a lot of money. "Mobile.. /
"With glass?"
Li Shimin playfully poked the glass cup, and shook the wolf's tail covered with an apron: "Come, tell me about your plan, there will always be mistakes in doing things at a young age, I will give you details." ”
The participation of the emperor's father surprised Li Chengqian inexplicably, this can be called the top strategist in history, such a good help should not be in vain.
Moving a small bench to sit opposite, Li Chengqian smiled: "That's what Erchen thinks...."
Zhang Yun looked at his master expressionlessly, and had a heated discussion with the little master, and when it came to the insidious, the two of them also took a pot of wine to dry. Because now standing together and barely expressionless, there is one more Fang Sheng.
After going through the plan perfectly, Li Shimin looked at the dark sky outside and said as a matter of course: "It's so late, I can only eat cold rice when I go back, so let's eat it in your East Palace." ”
Li Chengqian knew that it would be like this, so Fang Sheng waved his hand, and immediately a eunuch carried the table into the study and served the food.
It's still the same meal, but this time the cook braised the carp under the threat of Li Chengqian's neck.
Li Shimin likes greasy things like meatballs and button meat, and he sandwiched half of the big bunch of meat slices in a bowl.
Seeing that the emperor's father was enjoying eating, Li Chengqian turned the turntable and sent the braised carp over: "Father, try this fish and see how it goes." ”
Li Shimin did not refuse, but directly clamped a chopstick.
After eating a few bites, he was full of praise for the taste, but Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with the carp's spines.
"It tastes good, I like the way this fish is made, call it your cook.... Forget it, I'll tell the Imperial Dining Room to come to your East Palace to ask for benefits. ”
