Chapter 16: Yingguo Mansion (3)

As for how Li Yuan knew that Wu Shi Tong was selling the house, it was very simple, since ancient times, most women basically had no door on their mouths, and the yard was full of misery, lamenting and sighing, and some people secretly insulted his cheap son, but it was not Li Shimin, but the abolished prince was built.

It was Li Shimin who drove them from the bustling Chang'an to Lizhou, but they didn't dare to hate in their hearts, there must be a character to attract hatred at this time, and Li Jiancheng, who was undoubtedly dead, was the best target.

No one would be as knowledgeable as these long-tongued women, after all... It's not the people in power who are scolding.

When Wu Shi Tong heard Li Yuan's slightly concerned words, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, "Your Majesty knows... Said, the minister has been shy recently, so he has no choice but to make this decision. ”

After speaking, there was another deep sigh, and he shook his head and began to talk about the major events that had happened in the Yingguo Mansion and the court since Li Yuan was 'under house arrest'.

Soon it was a stick of incense past, and the major event in the court was undoubtedly the change of power, and the samurai Tong brushed it aside, and it was more about the trivial things that happened in the samurai, and the bitterness between the words can be described as waves, wave after wave.

He was not afraid that Li Shimin would withdraw his title because of these trivial things, and it was not a big deal to complain in his heart. As long as it's not too obvious to break the law, it's fine, and at the moment it hasn't reached the level of the Manchu 'literary prison'.

There are not a few literati who scold Li Shimin, can he still block Youyou's mouth?

But when Wu Shi Tong said something that happened yesterday, Li Yuan couldn't sit still.

Yesterday, Wang Junkuo, the Duke of Pengguo, entered the court from Youzhou, and was crowned the second rank of Zuo Guanglu by Li Shimin.

"Xinming, it's just a family house, in the past, you funded me to raise troops in Jinyang, and I can't treat you badly." The corners of Li Yuan's mouth were slightly hooked, and he secretly wrote down Wang Junkuo in his heart with a small notebook, and then beckoned to the painting screen standing next to him.

"Draw the screen, go and take out my jasper coral tree and give it to the tooth at the door, see how much it's worth?"

"Jasper Coral Tree?" The painting screen was suddenly surprised, and shouted in a lost voice: "Your Majesty, that jasper coral tree is a fine product in the palace, just this... What is it? I don't think I dare to accept those teeth! ”

"It's okay, it's just a coral, I want you to be it, where did you get so many words." Li Yuan frowned.

The picture screen had no choice but to retreat and go to the carriage to find the jasper coral tree.

Wu Shi Tong was a little confused by Li Yuan's hand, but after hearing the 'Jasper Coral Tree', his face changed slightly, and he exclaimed: "Your Majesty, the minister remembers that Chen Shubao of the Southern Dynasty once said: The face of the enchantress is like a flower with dew, and the jade tree flows through the back garden. This jade tree coral tree is priceless, decades ago Yang Guang led the army into the palace of the Southern Dynasty and searched for three days without finding it, and later found Chen Shubao in the dry well, and it was this jade coral tree in his arms at that time..."

Poem from: "Yushu Backyard Flowers"

Liyu Fanglin is on the high pavilion, and the new outfit is glamorous.

Yinghu Ning Jiao didn't go in at first, and greeted him with a smile when he came out.

The face of the enchantress is like a flower with dew, and the jade tree shines in the backyard.

The flowers do not bloom for long, and they fall red and fall all over the ground and return to silence.

"It's... Is a broken coral so valuable? Li Yuan rubbed his head, a little uncertain in his heart, he knew that ancient coral was precious, but it was not worth a fortune.

Shi Chong of the Jin Dynasty planted a large number of coral trees in Jingu Garden in order to show off his wealth, since it is a large number, it means that although this thing is rare, it can still be found, so he deliberately took this jasper coral tree in the dormitory, anyway, he came from the later generations, it is not a rare such thing, and it is not as good as a piece of gold in his heart.

"Your Majesty, that jasper coral tree is full of jasper, like jade, it can be said to be a unique product among the corals, can it not be precious? The value is comparable to the waiting pearls in spring and autumn! The warrior Tong suppressed the excitement in his heart, and the soldier died for his confidant, and His Majesty said to him, the priceless jasper coral tree.

In fact, the samurai Tong was wrong, Li Yuan really didn't value him, but his three-year-old daughter, as for pawning the jasper coral tree, it was just an ordinary means of grace, but I didn't expect that this coral was so valuable?

Thinking about it, I also understand, can ordinary things appear next to the Emperor? The royal stuff is a rarity without exception, and the jasper coral tree is just better in it.

"It doesn't matter! It's just a treasure, how can it be compared with Xinming you? The King of Qin exchanged fifteen cities for the Zhao State and the Clan, but in my opinion, how could such a scholar as Lin Xiang be compared with the Clan's Bi! When King Zhao was already wrong when he sent Lin Xiangru to the tiger's wolf's den, how could I bear to miss the countryman, but... It is too late to regret, and only a meager amount of money can help it. Li Yuan's heart was dripping blood, but he had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it, he couldn't say that you were not worth the money at this time.

can only strike while the iron is hot, play the emotional card, let the samurai Tong, a courtier, be grateful to him, and then die to learn to show grace and envelop subordinates, which is a necessary skill for the emperor.

In fact, there are many benefits to subduing the warrior Tong, as a former big businessman, his attainments in business are also extraordinary, Li Yuan wants to restore, he must accumulate strength, and the accumulation of strength requires money, and the warrior Tong is one of the candidates Li Yuan is looking for.

And his kindness to Wu Shi Tong is also conducive to him subduing Wu Zetian's daughter's heart.

After a while, the picture screen entered the main room alone with the jasper coral tree. After giving Li Yuan a salute, she stood aside, ignoring Wu Shi Tong in the slightest, after all, she was a five-grade female historian and belonged to the establishment of the palace, so she didn't have to grovel to the Duke of the Kingdom.

Li Yuan carefully observed the jasper coral tree for a while, and he didn't look closely when he took it at will this morning, the jasper coral tree was only the size of an adult's palm, but the whole body of jasper was transparent, shining in the sunlight, and its surface was carved by skilled craftsmen and danced fairies, and it felt as smooth as jade.

It is really a rare treasure in Datang!

"Paint the screen, quickly call that tooth in and estimate the price." The more Li Yuan looked at it, the more reluctant he became, he was really afraid that he would say a remorse at this time, so he could only drive the painting screen to hurry up and call the tooth palm pawn.

The painting screen did not have half a temper, and there was no one in the history of the five-grade girl when she came, she was a maid in front of the emperor, carefully put the jasper coral tree in the arms of another palace maid, and then went out of the main door, looking for the figure of the king's tooth general.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows Your Majesty's kindness, but this jasper coral is too precious, just... Forget it. Wu Shi Tong held back tears and said, when did the Tang Dynasty reach the point where he needed to pawn things and give them to his courtiers?

This kindness is too heavy! He didn't know what to repay!
