Remember [Pen โ™‚ Fun รท Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Gao Lishi, whose real name is Feng Yuanyi, is the sixth-generation grandson of Mrs. Xian, a famous military and political leader in Lingnan who was praised by Premier ****** as "the first woman hero in China". He entered the palace when he was a child, and was adopted by Gao Yanfu as his adopted son, and then changed his name to Gao Lishi, who was appreciated by the female emperor Wu Zetian at that time. During the reign of Tang Xuanzong, his status reached its peak, because he had helped Tang Xuanzong to pacify the rebellion of Empress Wei and Princess Taiping, so he won the favor of Xuanzong, and finally tired of the hussar general, into the opening of the palace with the three divisions.

Now Gao Lishi is almost old, one year older than Li Longji, because of the decline of the family, he entered the palace with Li Qianli at the age of fourteen, and was deeply appreciated by Wu Zetian, and often worshiped by her side. When he was twenty-three years old, he met Li Longji, who was still the king of Linzi, for the first time, and experienced several palace coups and officialdom storms together, and the sun and moon have been together for forty-five years.

Every time the Quartet submits a recital, it must first be submitted to Colliers, and then before entering the Imperial Palace, the trivial matters will be decided by themselves.

Li Longji often said: "Lux should be in the front, and I will rest and be stable." Therefore, he often stays in the palace and rarely goes out of the house. As for those who desire attachment and want to see it, that they may speak good words before the king, and there are many who do their best.

Approaching the Yuan Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong moved back to the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace, Gao Lishi hurriedly returned to Xingning Fangfu, and came to talk to his old wife Lu Shi, and other courtiers could rest for a few days after the Yuan Dynasty. Second, Gao Lishi is in charge of the secret supervisor of the Datang intelligence and espionage agency, and some things need to be handled by himself to rest assured, which is also one of the reasons why Gao Lishi's deep Li Longji trusts, never because of this, he is always domineering, he is neutral and not leaning, he is a king but not arrogant, he is obedient but not obscure, and he does not commit a crime.

A few days ago, the glass treasure mirror presented by Zhen Qian in Luquan County made Gao Lishi very passive, although he knew in advance that there were auspicious gifts in various places, but the number of them had long been dismissed, and he did not expect that the glass treasure mirror offered would make the concubine smile, and Li Longji was also happy to reward the officials of Luquan County and Zhen Qian.

The reward has been finalized, the edict has been issued to the province of Zhongshu, and then there is a Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials to discuss, and finally it can be in the hands of the rewarder. It will take at least seven or eight days for a process to come down, and now all the yamen are preparing for the Yuan Day Dynasty, and the reward will probably be sent to Luquan County until the end of January next year at the earliest.

When Li Longji asked about this person, he was vague and passive, which made Gao Lishi very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the secret supervisor.

Gao Lishi sat on the circle chair in the study, holding a kettle in his arms, an oil lamp on the table flickered on and off, his face was cloudy, and his eyes were staring at a person kneeling in the shadow of the corner: "Get up, the information sent by Hebei Misi has been getting less and less during this time, is there really nothing happening, or is someone deliberately slacking off, check it for me...... Check it well, be sure to find out! โ€

Gao Lishi's voice was not loud, but the person kneeling in the corner of the wall trembled more and more, and knelt down a few steps like garlic: "My subordinates should be damned...... Ten thousand deaths, this will let people investigate, please punish the father-in-law! โ€

"Punishment! It should be punished ......", Gao Lishi seemed to be talking to himself, his hands pressed on the side of the table, his eyes lowered, and he swept over a few documents on the table, "I am slacking, from Zhen Qianluquan County to send the treasure to the palace, seven days have passed, and there is no news in seven days, if someone plots against him, he will not know until he reaches ......the capital."

When the shadow man heard this, he immediately touched his head to the ground, and the whole person was like a puddle of mud and collapsed on the ground, so frightened that he could no longer say a word.

"Give you seven days, I want to know everything that happened to Zhen Qian, who he interacted with, what he said, what things he did, what hobbies he had, what he usually liked to do...... and I want to record it all by bit. As for the Hebei Misi personnel, those who are not useful should be killed, and those who should be punished should be punished, don't be merciful, understand? โ€

The shadow man is like being amnesty, "Thank you for the grace of father-in-law not to kill, and my subordinates will do it!" โ€

As soon as the shadow man left, a person flashed out of the screen behind Gao Lishi, who was completely silent, wrapped in black cloth all over his body, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

"You immediately go to Luquan County in person, I want to know what happened in Luquan County?"

"Yes! Father-in-law", the man in black didn't ask any questions, and disappeared into the study.

Colliers' fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, he reached out to pick out the oil lamp, and with an incomprehensible puzzle on his face, he picked up another piece of paper and swept it over.

"Glass Treasure Mirror......!"

Maybe at this time, the question in Gao Lishi's heart can only be answered by Zhen Qian, after the glass treasure mirror incident, Gao Lishi immediately sent someone to the West Market to inquire, and the Hu people in the West Market actually swore that there is really a treasure mirror that can show the figure of people in the far away Daqin, but because the number is extremely rare, even the businessmen who do business with Daqin are extremely difficult to see.

Years of political career made it difficult for Gao Lishi to believe Hu Shang's words, but what if he didn't believe it, could he send someone to Daqin to verify Hu Shang's words, this is obviously impossible, and it is also the origin of Gao Lishi's suspicions.

Gao Lishi really wanted to ask Zhen Qian face to face, where did the glass treasure mirror come from, where is the Hu merchant he said is now, and who else has seen this Hu Shang?

Hu businessmen who walk in the territory of Datang must have a "passing office", and the "passing office" records in detail when they came to Datang, where they have been in Datang, and have a detailed record in the government.

There are also two test papers on the table that have just been found from the archives of the Ministry of Rites, if Zhen Qian is allowed to look at them, I am afraid he will not be able to recognize these two test papers as the two papers of Ming Calculation and Ming Jing two years ago.

At the beginning, these two test papers did not attract the attention of Gao Lishi, which was too sparse in Gao Lishi's eyes, but when Gao Lishi read "Ai Lian Said" again, he had an unreal feeling, the attainment and charm of this poem is more than enough even if he is admitted to the science department, why did Zhen Qian choose the two subjects of Ming Jing and arithmetic with the lowest difficulty, and there are still things he doesn't know?

The more Colliers thought about it, the more he pondered the different tastes, and one question after another surfaced: What was the purpose of his offering of the glass mirror? In order to seek officials, offer flattery and invite pets? It seems a little unreasonable, the Zhen family is also a big family in Hengzhou, it is not a problem to become an official, and the timing of offering treasure is not right at this time, in Gao Lishi's opinion, it is simply a move after the impulse of people in the big city, and if you really want to be an official, it is most suitable to give treasure to yourself and Yang Guozhong, according to the provisions of Tang Law, both of them have the right to directly appoint officials below the sixth grade.

What annoyed Gao Lishi the most was that in the past few years, Zhen Qian had been mentioned less than five times in the intelligence of the Luquan County Secret Division.

The first time was when Zhen Qian just moved to Luquan County, and his name appeared in the list of heroic squires.

The second time was the record of Zhen Qian's purchase of a large amount of land in Sendai Village, and it was also a few transactions in the past.

The third time was when Zhen Qian opened a restaurant in the county town and launched a liquor called Burning Knife, which recorded that the Sogdians wanted to steal the secret method of winemaking.

The fourth time is the occurrence of gold and silver coins in Zhen Qian's bank, this time the record is more detailed, but the private minting of gold and silver coins is not a big deal, there are many private copper coins in various places, and they have long been repeatedly banned, and Zhen Qian's behavior can only be regarded as a small fish and shrimp.

The fifth time he mentioned the fact that the Zuixian Mansion under Zhen Qian's name opened branches in various places, what kind of thing is this, isn't it still that businessmen are not allowed to do business in various places?

From the secret intelligence, Gao Lishi couldn't tell who Zhen Qian was at all, he could only say that Zhen Qian had a business mind, and such a person didn't interest Gao Lishi at all, so it was no wonder that Gao Lishi was angry.
