Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Discussion of Yaxian (I)

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Li Xian is also very busy before the upcoming festival in Beijing, but he is not busy practicing martial arts, that matter has long been accustomed to nature, he does not practice for half a day every day, he always feels uncomfortable, Li Xian is busy with one thing - counting money and counting until his hands cramp!

Two and a half months, said that it is not long, and it slipped by in the blink of an eye, but in such a short period of dozens of days, Li Xian alone has earned nearly 10,000 yuan - since the folding fan began to be popular in the palace, the powerful families have also followed the same example, just a dozen days, the small folding fan has become the most popular gadget in Beijing, up to the powerful, down to the butcher's pawn, almost everyone has a handle, the difference is just the grade of the folding fan, the rich play gold and jade, and the white fan can also be settled if there is no money, Li Xian's folding fan field has been expanded several times in succession, and the output is still in short supply, not only the merchants on the ground of Jingshi are carrying cash to board the goods, but also the merchants from Luoyang and even Jiangdu and other places are flocking to it, and the copper coins recovered every day can only be pulled by ox carts, but Li Xian is so happy that he can't close his mouth.

The first shot was fired smoothly, and the financial resources can be said to be rolling in, but Li Xian was not carried away by the best-selling of the folding fan, just because he knew very well that the folding fan was simple and easy to imitate, and now there have been "cottage" goods on the market, but because the scale of parallel goods is still small, the quality is also very inferior, which makes Li Xian earn a lot of money, and next year, then I don't want to have this year's situation, after all, the "cottage" thing is the housekeeping ability of the Chinese people, and it has a long history, and there is nothing that the Chinese people can't imitate, but Li Xian doesn't care, after all, the folding fan is just a tool that Li Xian uses to dig the first pot of gold, even if he gives up, it's not a big deal, and when others rush to play the folding fan next year, Li Xian is ready to put on the soap, as long as there is a steady stream of new things coming out, he is not afraid of no money to make.

Money is a good thing, Li Xian will not dislike the money, in fact, just 10,000 yuan of money Li Xian is too little, not to mention anything else, just Lin Hu's expenses for secretly opening restaurants and tea shops in Beijing have gone to nearly half, and then counting Gao Miao's expenses for communicating with the eunuchs in the palace and buying people's hearts, there is not much left of 10,000 yuan, as for Deng Cheng's side, the expansion of the operation of the business also needs the support of silver, that's it, but seeing that the money comes in like flowing water, and goes out like flowing water, made Li Xian's house seem to open a bank to engage in deposits and loans, and there are really not many that fall into Li Xian's pocket, but then again, money is earned to be spent, as long as it can be spent on the right path, no matter how much Li Xian will never feel distressed.

Rome is not built in a day, in the same way, the construction of the intelligence system and even the basic team that Li Xian wants is not something that can be seen overnight, and it is natural that he is not in a hurry, he can only go step by step, Li Xian has every reason to believe that as long as there is enough time, everything is possible, of course, those are all visions, for the time being, they can only be imagined, but they can't be touched, Li Xian will not sit there and dream endlessly, happy to return to happy, Li Xian has never forgotten to pay attention to the court situation, In particular, the preparations before Gaozong sealed Mount Tai.

Li Xian remembers very clearly, in the previous life, Gaozong was also at the beginning of the first month of the next year, a letter of Zen Taishan, also from the instigation of the Empress Wu, during the period of countless changes, each of which has a far-reaching impact, the first of which is that the Empress Wu instigated Gaozong to let him take on the sub-sacrifice, the reason is that "the emperor is the Son of Heaven, sacrificing to heaven is a family matter, how can it be sacrificed by outsiders, the concubine is a daughter-in-law, should be self-serving", Gaozong actually agreed to such a ridiculous reason, issued an edict by the Empress Wu for the sub-offering, Princess Yan for the final offering, Shengsheng made a good and dignified Zen sealing ceremony a laughing stock for the ages.

Feng Zen is a great ceremony, since ancient times there are regulations, the first offering is naturally the emperor, and the sub-dedication is by the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, as for the final offering, in general, it is held by the most respected person in the court, was so messily changed by the Empress Wu, the grand ceremony immediately became a clown drama, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a stench for 10,000 years, of course, the reason why the Empress Wu will be so nonsense, naturally has its ulterior purpose - when the previous life was sealed Zen, the Empress Wu has been in the court, and Gaozong is called the two saints, but the status is not stable, As a subordinate, you can show your identity, and secondly, you can also take advantage of this good opportunity to reward the courtiers to buy the hearts of the courtiers, and thirdly, you are also deliberately acting so arrogantly, to see if there is any uninteresting person who dares to stand up and do the song of the horse, as a result, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not even dare to let go of a fart, and the status of the Empress Wu was stable, and no one dared to disobey the slightest.

Li Xian in the previous life was just a cowardly and incompetent young prince, although he knew that the Empress Wu's move was very inappropriate, but he didn't have the courage to say it clearly, and he didn't think too far-reaching, but in this life, Li Xianke didn't want to watch anymore, in order to avoid a recurrence of the tragic future, Li Xian had no choice but to rise up and fight, even if he took some risks, he didn't hesitate to do so, the problem is that the political ecology of the previous life and this life has been slightly different because of Li Xian's horizontal insertion, at least the article of the Empress Wu did not appear, Li Xian was not sure whether Empress Wu would still make a request for Yaxian, so he could only wait, waiting for the news from Luoyang to come - in Li Xian's memory, the time when this edict was released was the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, mixed with the edict to reward the ministers, it was August 12, and it was the day after tomorrow that it would be known, but what Li Xian didn't expect was that this notice came faster than expected - Li Xian had just finished practicing martial arts, and before he even had time to freshen up, someone came to the East Palace, and asked Li Xian to enter the palace immediately.

"Brother of the courtier, see brother of the prince."

The prince was called, Li Xianzi did not dare to slack off, simply freshened up, and hurried into the palace, as soon as he entered the study of the Xiande Palace, he saw the prince Li Hong sitting solemnly behind the sons, Li Xian hurriedly rushed forward, and respectfully saluted and greeted Andao.

"Excuse me, seventh brother come, sit down."

Li Hong's spirit seemed to be extremely tired, and when he saw Li Xian arrive, he forced a smile to himself, pointed to the opposite side of the few sons, and motioned for Li Xian to take a seat.

"Thank you for the prince's brother's love, it's good for the courtier's brother to stand, please ask the prince's brother to give instructions."

The crown prince is a half-monarch, and the position opposite him is not so easy to sit on, but it has the meaning of fighting against the prince, Li Xian didn't want to act so recklessly, so he hurriedly thanked him.

"Seventh brother doesn't need to be like this, there are no outsiders here, why do you and my brother need to see the outside like this, just sit down."

Seeing Li Xian so cautious, Li Hong couldn't help laughing, waved his hand, and said with some disgust.

"Yes, my brother obeys."

As soon as he heard Li Hong say this, Li Xian was not very reserved, and after hesitating for a while, he still sat down according to his words.

"Brother Wei heard that the seventh brother has been practicing martial arts diligently recently, and he is very pleased, with the talent of the seventh brother, he will be able to achieve great success in the future." Li Hong didn't get to the point as soon as he came up, but praised Li Xian with a smile.

"The prince's brother has won the award, and the courtier's brother Pu Liu's posture is just a luxury hope that he can make up for his clumsiness with diligence, but he is not a mature person." In the case of not understanding Li Hong's intentions in summoning him this time, Li Xianzi was cautious everywhere and extremely humble in his words.

"Well, diligence can make up for clumsiness, this is a good saying, but whoever has great perseverance, things can be done, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me, the seventh brother can abide by this rule, the achievements of the coming day will be limitless, and the blessing of my society is also." Li Hong seemed to deliberately want to praise Li Xian, and he admired it unrelentingly, but in Li Xian's ears, there was something wrong with it - nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!

What is this trying to do? Shall we put on the stove? Li Xian is a sober person, and it is impossible for him to be dizzy because of Li Hong's few kind words, and he muttered in his stomach, but his face was full of gratitude and replied: "Brother Prince's lesson is true, and the younger brother should keep it in mind, and act according to Brother Prince's words, and dare not or forget." ”

"Well, that's fine." Li Hong was obviously very satisfied with Li Xian's statement, nodded with a smile, and then suddenly looked solemn, and said in a heavy tone: "Father and Emperor will seal Mount Tai, and I will leave at the end of September, this seventh brother should already know?" ”

"Back to the prince's brother's words, the courtiers have heard about it, but they haven't received the emperor's summons yet, I don't know what the prince's brother can say about this?" As soon as he heard Li Hong mention the matter of Feng Chan Taishan, Li Xian's heart immediately tightened, and there was a faint premonition that was not good, but fortunately, Li Xiancheng's mansion was deep, but he did not show any flaws, but only replied respectfully.

"Teaching? The seventh brother has always been highly talented, and it should be for the elder brother to seek advice from the seventh brother. Li Hong smiled self-deprecatingly, waved his hand, stopped Li Xian's excuses, took out a copy of Huang Juan's masked edict from his wide sleeves, held it in both hands and handed it to Li Xian, and said bitterly: "My father has an edict here, Seventh Brother, let's take a look." ”

It's coming, it's coming! Li Xian's heart rolled with a burst of shock, but his face was sincere and fearful: "Brother Prince, forgive me, my brother really doesn't dare to be rude and illegal." ”

"Don't worry, the seventh brother just needs to watch." Li Hong insisted on handing the edict a few more points in front of Li Xian, and said undoubtedly.

"Yes, my brother has overstepped."

Li Xian was actually very curious about the content of the edict, the previous resignation was just a superficial article, at this time seeing Li Hong's insistence, he was happy to push the boat along the river, and replied respectfully, took the edict with both hands, put it on a few pieces, and then knelt and moved a step back, kowtowed respectfully, and then moved forward, stretched out his hand and spread out the edict, and looked at it carefully, not looking at it tightly, the more he looked at his face, the more solemn his face became, his heart beat like hitting a deer, and the beads of sweat on his forehead involuntarily showed a piece of the boss......
