Bah~

Leng Feng played a card and said, "Actually, Lao Yuan told me, but he sent me a letter." ”

In this era of no text messages and no WeChat, the most confidential communication between people is just letters.

Moreover, there are some major events that take into account factors such as soundness, credibility, etc., and negotiable is the first choice.

Unfortunately, the single room downstairs in the world is the most unique place in Chang'an City, when the merchants negotiate business, one party sets up a banquet in the downstairs of the world, which is enough to show the importance of this list. When officials of the DPRK and China entertain their colleagues, if they hold a banquet on the upper floor of the world, those who attend the banquet will give a thumbs up.

Wang Xian is not exempt from vulgarity, and pays a lot of money to invite Wang Fu to speak for the five surnames and Qiwang in the court, and it is better to talk about such things upstairs in the world.

But what he didn't know was that Leng Feng had already instructed Lao Yuan to pay close attention to the banquet of the officials in the court downstairs, and record the time and list.

Many times, this list alone can infer a lot of things.

Tianxia downstairs is doing serious business, and will never do eavesdropping, but Wang Xian Wang Fu Qian should not have opened the door when exchanging property.

Wang Xian is the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, and his meeting with Wang Fu naturally attracted Lao Yuan's attention, from the moment the two of them entered the box, Lao Yuan squatted at the corner of the second floor and stared at it personally, and after seeing Wang Xian give Wang Fu a box of gold, he immediately wrote a letter about what happened today and sent it to Lengfu.

Officials and businessmen love to gather and drink upstairs in the world, boat gangs that go to the river to transport goods, and salt gangs that smuggle salt.

These five places are the intelligence systems set up by Leng Feng in Chang'an and around Chang'an, without these places, then even if he is in Chang'an, he is no different from a blind man, and some very special gossip provided by these five places even plays an important role in Leng Feng's decision-making.

Just like today, if Leng Feng didn't know that Wang Xian had given Wang Fu gold downstairs in the world, it would be very difficult to deal with Wang Fu, and he could only choose to spray him instead of killing him with one blow.

"The officials of the imperial court should be honest and strict in the first place, Wang Fu is a lesson from the past, and Zhu Aiqing is good for himself! Retreat! ”

Dropping an intriguing sentence, Li Shimin left the hall without waiting for the ministers to get up to see them off.

When the emperor left, Leng Feng pushed the cards down: "Don't play, I still have to go to a small meeting with the emperor and drink, if you want to play, find another one." ”

Li Xiaogong shook his head: "I don't play anymore, gambling at the court meeting is a big crime." ”

"I know it's a big sin, and I don't see you scared." Li Jing glanced at Li Xiaogong.

Nameless didn't know when he came over, and after giving Leng Feng a salute, he didn't speak, Leng Feng stood up and patted his ass without any image, said hello to Li Jing and them, and left with Nameless.

Civil officials and some generals who didn't know about the gambling in front of them withdrew from the court one after another, while Cheng Biting, Jin, Li Ji and others came to Liu Hongji's side to ask about the results. Liu Hongji lost a lot of money, but he was not distressed at all, this kind of behavior similar to "skipping class and surfing the Internet" brought unparalleled pleasure.

Liu Shuwen and her two younger sisters must have gone to the queen, and Leng Feng came to the imperial study under the guidance of Nameless.

Not only Li Shimin was in the imperial study, but the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling were also sitting on the side, tasting the flower tea downstairs in the world and exchanging tastes from time to time.

The door of the hall closed, and Li Shimin pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down." ”

The sound is normal.

Leng Feng smiled slightly, sat down on the left, picked up the teacup and said to Li Shimin: "Let's talk about it, what are you doing when you call me to the palace, it can't be that Fang Xiang and Zhao Guogong see that I have no concubines in my family and want to be matchmakers." ”

Fang Xuanling always looks like a peacemaker, and when he heard Leng Feng's opening remarks, he immediately smiled and said: "Gong Xi Guogong is not worthy of ordinary women, there is really no suitable candidate in the old man's family, I don't know if there is a good woman in the eldest grandson Shangshu's family?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand: "The old man is the youngest of the queens in this generation, and then he is the daughter, but if the prince of Xi Guogong doesn't mind, the old man can also take advantage, hahaha." ”

Li Shimin knocked on the table: "Now is not the time to talk about women. ”

Seeing that Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji both stopped laughing, they said to Leng Feng: "Duke Xiguo, I only ask you, how did you guess that there would be a big locust plague this year?" ”

How do you know? I saw it in the history books.

But this reason must be unspeakable~

Leng Feng put the teacup back on the table, then wiped his face, and said seriously: "Don't hide it, I am proficient in the way of gossip, and I just pinched my fingers at the banquet that day, and it was out!" ”

"Phew!"

was scolded again, and it was none other than Li Shimin.

"Don't fool me with those messy things, if you really know how to tell fortunes, you won't be deceived by Feng Ang to Lingnan, in my opinion, your prediction of the locust plague is probably one of your complicated knowledge."

Leng Feng looked at Li Shimin with doubts out of the corner of his eyes, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin at this time didn't believe in gods and gods, but no matter the official history, there were records of his obsessive behavior of asking for immortals.

Perhaps, the emperor is a creature that will get "long sickness" together when he is old, and the glory and wealth of the world have been enjoyed for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will move the mind of immortality, and the wiser the emperor, the more likely he is to commit this disease.

Fang Xuanling didn't believe this, so he arched his hand at Leng Feng: "Dare to ask the Duke of Xi Guo, what kind of knowledge can predict the locust plague?" You must know that this kind of knowledge can be called a magic skill for the people of the Tang Dynasty! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also said: "Every time there is a locust plague, there are people who have no harvest and are displaced, and even some people will take advantage of the chaos to rise up, and you have already given the reputation of disaster relief to that group of generals." Your Majesty has summoned you this time, not to pursue this matter, but to hope that you will make this kind of knowledge public. ”

Leng Feng thought that Li Shimin would definitely investigate what he did at Liu Hongji's house, but he didn't expect that he guessed wrong, it turned out that he was going to ask this.

Li Shimin saw that the eldest grandson Wuji had already explained what he meant, so he added: "There are no outsiders here, Gong Yiguo, do you know? The locust plague is a disaster that threatens the imperial court more than droughts and floods.

If there is a big drought or flood, the people will first think about whether someone has angered the Dragon King, or whether there is an unjust case. But if it is a plague of locusts, the first thing that comes to mind is that the emperor is not virtuous. Counting all dynasties and generations, which locust plague did not make people panic. ”
