Chapter 714: Journey to the Southeast (13)
"Your Majesty, good news, good news!"
Jin Yiwei commanded Li Jian to enter the palace in a hurry, but it made Zhang Wei, Ximen Junsui and others a little puzzled, what is the good thing about this?
"What's the good news? can make Li Aiqing so excited. Li Ye put down the fold and said.
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the report of Jinyiwei in the branch of the Zhendong Army, the sailor has successfully returned, not only went to Fuzhou to read His Majesty's will, but also arrived at Liuqiu.
Moreover, according to the report of Wang Shimiao, the commander of the naval division, they experienced a storm on their way south, and accidentally arrived at an island that might be called Luzon. There are many gold mines on that island, and the sailor found a natural gold weighing dozens of catties, which was on his way back to Chang'an. Li Jian said.
"Luzon? Gold mine? Natural gold? Li Ye raised his eyebrows.
It can't really be Luzon, right? There are gold mines, copper mines, and a lot of valuable plants.
"Where is the island that the sailor discovered?" Li Ye asked in a deep voice.
"Avoidance, according to the information of the sailor, it is about five hundred miles south of Liuqiu." Li Jian replied.
Five hundred miles south of Liuqiu?
It can't really be, right? That's interesting.
Li Ye stood up and ordered, "Zhang Wei, send an order to the Governor's Mansion of the Water Division, and when Wang Shimiao's troops return to the station, let Wang Shimiao take that natural gold and enter Chang'an to tell me about the situation of Liuqiu and Luzon." ”
"The old slave understands!" Zhang Wei nodded.
After speaking, Li Ye looked at Li Jian and said lightly, "Why didn't the Privy Council or the Ministry of War come to report on the matter of this water master, but it was Jinyiwei who knew the situation first?" Say, who told you? ”
Li Jian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bent down to salute, "Your Majesty forgives your sin, it is the minister Wang Shifan is looking for." ”
"Wang Shifan? Is it him? But there is also something about Wang Shimiao in this! Li Ye smiled coldly, "Go down, if the matter is true, I will reward you." But you have to remember that the brocade guard is only responsible to me, and you have to do whatever I tell you to do, understand? ”
"The minister understands!"
Although Li Jian was warned, he was right, the saint was really interested in overseas affairs. It seems that he should also plan one or two overseas things, or he will also organize a fleet and let people go around?
After Li Jian left, Li Ye kept smiling on his face when he dealt with the twists, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"It seems that Your Majesty is in a good mood." Ximen Junsui's smile was like a smiling Buddha, giving people a sense of harmlessness to humans and animals.
"Oh?" Li Ye glanced at the other party, "How do you know that I'm in a good mood?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the old slave has no other skills, that's all." Simon replied.
"Forget it, don't deal with the twists and turns, the rest are just some trivialities. I set up a cabinet to share my worries, and I actually presented trivial matters.
Someone, send these pieces to the cabinet. Except for the ones I personally annotated, let them handle the rest on their own. ”
"The old slave commands." After speaking, Ximen Jun then instructed the people next to him, "Come on, pack these folds and send them to the scholars in the cabinet." ”
Soon, several eunuchs came in, and packed up the folds on the table with beautiful boxes.
"I'm in a good mood today, what flowers are in this hall? So fragrant? Li Ge's nose sniffed in the air.
"Your Majesty, it's Jasmine." Ximen Jun replied with a smile.
"Jasmine? Really. Li Ye looked at the jasmine flowers in the several porcelain bottles placed in front of the window, and nodded, "Speaking of jasmine, the jasmine in Chengxiang Hall is good." Command, set up the incense hall. ”
Hearing that Li Ye took the initiative to ask to go to the Chengxiang Palace, Ximen Jun was overjoyed.
Located to the north of Taiye Pond, the Chengxiang Hall is a very beautiful palace. However, the Chengxiang Hall is not just a separate palace, it is a small palace group, with many independent courtyards, in which some low-ranking concubines live.
Li Rang's daughter, after being sent to the palace, was named a royal maid and lived in the Chengxiang Palace.
Li Rang can only become an imperial merchant by taking refuge in him Ximen Junsui, so Li Ye went to Chengxiang Hall at this time, which is naturally a good thing for Ximen Junsui.
Unlike Zhang Wei, who was the old man next to Li Ye, Ximen Jun did not follow Li Ye for a long time. couldn't make Li Ye trust him very much, so he had a good relationship with the concubine in the palace, and then competed with Zhang Wei.
However, not all the concubines in this palace bought his account.
The nine concubines don't think much of him, let alone Concubine Li, Concubine Shu, and a high-powered queen.
The nine concubines are not full now, so Ximen Junsui's idea is to let Li Rang's daughter give birth to a son and a half daughter for the saint, so that the concubine can be promoted.
As the lowest-ranking eighty-one imperial wives among the concubines, if the eighty-one imperial wives are full, they can only serve the emperor for one night every nine days from the twenty-two to the thirtieth of each month.
To put it bluntly, the eighty-one imperial wife may not be able to get the opportunity to serve the emperor for a month.
Fortunately, although Li Ye has accepted a lot of concubines now, the eighty-one royal wives are not yet full. Even so, excluding the fixed time of the queen, Concubine Li and Concubine Shu, the nine concubines and others, the rest of the month is not much.
After all, in front of the eighty-first royal wife, there are also the twenty-seventh concubines of Jieyu, beauty, and talent.
So from the time Li Rang's daughter entered the palace to the present, there have been less than twenty times to sleep, and there is no chance of even once every two months on average. How do you go to the dragon seed in this way?
It's not that Ximen Jun is not in a hurry and doesn't think of a way, many times it is the saint who makes the decision.
Therefore, when the saint decided to go to the Chengxiang Temple, Ximen Jun asked the people below to inform Li Rang's daughter, so that she could prepare and seize the opportunity.
And over there, Zhang Wei came back after announcing his decree, and when he heard that the saint had gone to the Chengxiang Palace, his face was not very good-looking. This Ximen Jun is too thief, just like this, I don't know who the other party poured into the ecstasy.
。。。。。。
Xuanzhou, Dangtu County, Wuhu Town.
Although Xuanzhou has the second largest water division in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, second only to Feng Hongduo.
However, the location of this naval division is not in Xuanzhou, because Xuanzhou is not near the Yangtze River. The station of the Xuanzhou Sailor is in Wuhu on the edge of the Yangtze River, and Wuhu is just a small town below Dangtu County, but it has become lively because of the presence of the Sailor.
"General Chen, the commander has an order."
Just when the naval division station was full of laughter, a secret order was sent to the desk of the general of the Xuanzhou naval division.
He picked up the secret order and looked at it, his face changed greatly, and the thick alcohol disappeared in an instant.
He came to his senses and sat there wondering whether to do what the secret order said. After thinking about it for a while, he called a few of his cronies.
This matter must be carried out according to Tian Bao's orders, but he does not necessarily have to do it himself.
