Speaking of his old departments, Li Yuan sneered: "A group of guys who see the wind and steer the rudder, now they have long lost the courage of the past, in the past few years, Li Shimin has long been looking for an opportunity to transfer them from important positions, do you think I secretly contacted them, he will not know?" ”

"Now the world has been decided, last year the Jieli Khan on the northern grassland was broken by Li Jing with a blow, and even the people and goods were transported back to Chang'an, and the reputation of the imperial brother among the people is also increasing day by day, and the chance of the father and emperor regaining the throne is already slim." Li Yuanjing picked up the wine jug, took a new cup, and poured wine for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan sighed: "I understand what you said, but I'm just a little unwilling, let's talk about you, Yuan Jing, you went back to Chang'an without him, what do you want to do?" ”

"There is something wrong with the people in my house in Chang'an, I don't worry, so I came back to see, stayed in Chang'an for a few days, and then went back to the fiefdom, I didn't want to alarm the imperial brother, I came to visit my father, who thought it was just in time." Li Yuanjing said with a smile: "I'll still go to the palace tomorrow, after all, the vassal king can't return to Beijing without an edict, don't make the imperial brother suspicious because of a momentary mistake." ”

"You are cautious, if something happens in the house, it can alarm you in Shu." Li Yuan asked casually.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that if I come back, maybe people can sell me, King Zhao, a little face." Li Yuanjing didn't say what was going on, but just went around in a circle and skipped the question.

Seeing that Li Yuanjing was reluctant to say more, it must not be a major event worth paying attention to, so Li Yuan didn't ask any more.

His Majesty Li Er returned to the Taiji Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he kicked the incense burner placed next to the door to the side, and Deyi on the side was frightened, Your Majesty, what is the matter.

Soon after, Empress Changsun also entered the Taiji Palace.

"What is Your Majesty angry about?" Empress Eldest Sun walked up to His Majesty Li Er and asked softly.

"Look at my father's attitude towards me, I said, going to Hanyuan Hall is just my own humiliation, the sixth brother is the son of my father, isn't I?" His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "There is also Yuan Jing returning to Chang'an, and I don't know any news. After thinking about it for a while, His Majesty Li Er then spoke: "Yuan Jing's return to Chang'an is definitely not my father's intention, when I first walked into the palace, Yuan Jing saw me, and his expression was very panicked. ”

"Although I don't know what happened to King Zhao's sudden return to Chang'an, Your Majesty shouldn't be too suspicious, after all, King Zhao is also your brother." Empress Eldest Sun said.

"I know, it's just that I have doubts in my heart, but it is still necessary to send someone to investigate the return of King Zhao to Beijing." His Majesty Li Er frowned, the anger in his heart came and went quickly, anyway, it was not once or twice between him and Li Yuan, and he was relieved when he had many times, but Li Yuanjing returned to Chang'an quietly, which made people very curious.

Soon, one person rode out of the Vermilion Bird Gate and disappeared into the flow of people in Chang'an.

In the private room on the second floor of Xuanwu's hug, Qian Dui sat on a chair carved from pear blossom wood, sipping tea, with several large boxes behind him, and in front of him, there were several brown-haired and blue-eyed Hu merchants.

"Money shopkeeper, I don't know if you have gathered us all together, what is the matter, if there is something, please make it clear, you Tang people are not happy to talk about business, and always like to beat around the bush."

Qian Dui slowly put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I called everyone here today, there is a good business, I don't know if you have enough money." ”

"As long as the goods of the money shopkeeper are good, money is naturally not a problem." A Hu merchant said: "I don't know what kind of goods the money shopkeeper brought today." ”

It's really wealthy, Qian Dui sneered in his heart, but on the surface he was silent: "I know that everyone here has a preference for collecting precious utensils and ornaments, I don't know how these things are sold in your Western Regions?" ”

"The utensils of the Tang Dynasty are exquisite, and in the Western Regions, those who can be used are all nobles, and the number of these things that can be transported to the Western Regions is limited, so it is still very profitable." The Hu Shang replied truthfully: "Our nobles in the Western Regions are the most important thing they need to be rich. ”

If Xuan Shijing was present, he would definitely sigh, there are many local tyrants in the Middle East. In the Tang Dynasty, the sixteen countries of the Western Regions can be said to be unable to be zoned, who has great power, whose soldiers are strong, who can be called the king, said to be the sixteen countries of the Western Regions, just famous, those nameless forces wander in various places in the Western Regions, they burn and loot in the vast desert Gobi, over the years, the accumulated wealth is very amazing, the sixteen countries have also sent people to encircle and suppress these rogues, but the vast Western Regions, how can it be wiped out.

Hearing Hu Shang's words, Qian Dui had a bottom in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"That's easy to do, what I've brought today are all fine products, please appreciate the shopkeeper." Qian Dui said, looking back at the two guards he had brought: "Open the box and take out the contents." ”

When the two guards heard this, they walked over to the box, opened it, and moved all the contents to the table, placing it in the middle of the table.

There are not many things brought by the money pile this time, only four or five pieces, after all, things are scarce and expensive, if they take out too much at once, it will only make these Hu merchants feel that these utensils are worthless.

Seeing that things were placed on the table, the Hu merchants sitting around stepped forward to watch.

"What a beautiful object."

Qian Dui said with a smile: "These are all things in the palace, look at these objects, some of them also have royal signs, which are generally not available on the market." ”

"Money shopkeeper, you said these are all things in the palace? How did you get your hands on it? A Hu merchant asked, although these things are very tempting to them, and they can usually be reluctant to do it if they don't know where they came from, but if these things are all from the palace, and looking at the pile of money like this, there may be a lot of money in their hands, so they have to ask where these things came from.

"Although the goods route is a confidential issue for merchants, in order to reassure you, I clearly tell you that these things are all from the Xuanwei Marquis' Mansion and were rewarded by His Majesty to the Xuanwei Marquis." In front of outsiders, Qian Hei will not tell them the relationship between his business and the Hou Mansion, not only do he do this, but all the business of the noble family in Chang'an City is not put on the surface, this is the rule, although sometimes talking about business will have some hints to the partners of cooperation, but it will not be made public.

Qian Dui's words disappointed some Hu merchants who wanted to get some of this kind of device through other channels, it seems that except for Qian Dui, there are no other things in the palace, these Hu merchants know that the royal objects in the palace are every grand festival when foreign envoys come to visit, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty rewards the country with diplomatic relations, and now it can be bought here in the money pile, if it is transported to the Western Regions, it will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
