Chapter 700: A Shocking Case (6)

Xiao Yu returned to his Guogong Mansion from the palace, and as soon as he entered the door, a beautiful figure pounced on him. almost knocked Xiao Yu down.

"Grandpa! Grandfather! ”

"Ouch! It's cold smoke! ”

"Grandpa! I heard that you went to the palace to beg your aunt for me and my brother Chengdao, but I don't know if my aunt has any answer. Xiao Yu looked at her granddaughter lovingly, stroking her granddaughter's long black and beautiful hair.

"Smoke of the cold! When did grandpa lie to you! Grandpa's errands, aren't you still at ease? When Xiao Hanyan was six years old, once, when Xiao Hanyan was swinging, because his hand was not grasped, he was thrown out all of a sudden, Xiao Hanyan shouted in fright, and was caught by Li Chengdao, who was only ten years old at the time, just like that, Xiao Hanyan fell in love with Li Chengdao, and said at every turn that he wanted to be Li Chengdao's bride when he grew up. At the beginning, Li Jiancheng was only a prince, not an emperor yet, so Xiao Yu had some reservations, and he only regarded Xiao Hanyan's request as a child. However, when Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, Xiao Yu didn't treat Xiao Hanyan's words as a child's words. desperately wanted to marry Xiao Hanyan to Li Chengdao. Xiao Yu now said to himself in his heart: "Hanyan, grandpa must push you to that position." However, now, what Grandpa has to do is to drive the woman who stopped you out of Lee Seung-do's side. And in Li Jiancheng's dormitory in the Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng was reading what the Qilin Secret Guard had sent over about what Changsun Xuan, Jiang Xingwang, and Zhang Qianli had done in Hangzhou. While watching, he angrily slapped the dragon case in front of him:

"How unreasonable! Hum! I originally just thought it was a small packet, but who knew it was a big tumor! Li Jiancheng angrily threw the secret fold of the Qilin Secret Guard to the ground. It turned out that Changsun Xuan, Zhang Qianli, Jiang Xingwang and others not only acted as a prestige in Hangzhou and Muzhou, colluded with officials and businessmen, and made profits from each other, but also secretly colluded with the pirates of the Japanese State, secretly transported grain, clothed cloth to finance the Japanese pirates, and robbed the coastal areas of Qilu and Liaodong. Not only that, but he also ordered ships at the Longjiang Shipyard, secretly formed a pirate team, and in the name of officers and soldiers, engaged in smuggling business and transported goods to the countries of the South China Sea. After Li Jiancheng was angry for a while, his eyes suddenly stayed on the search book that Li Chengdao had returned to Li Jiancheng.

"I didn't look carefully last time, but this time I took a closer look at what this kid wrote here, and I should wash my eyes." After watching it, Li Jiancheng applauded. Li Chengdao elaborated on the details of the water Silk Road from several in the south - there are many ships in the south, the ship technology is developed, the people in addition to farming and weaving, still take boatmen and sailors as their business, since Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu established the Liang Dynasty Qilu, Hebei, and the southern multi-family clan cruised overseas, overseas merchants followed the subject countries to build a healthy city to trade, coral, pearls, crystals, gems, etc. entered our country, and silk, tea, and porcelain went out of other countries. And, to stimulate the folk crafts, Jiangnan Suzhou embroidery, well-known overseas. Even the Hunan embroidery in Changsha and the Shu embroidery in the Bashu area also came to Jiangnan and forcibly occupied the market. There are also porcelain, folk and government porcelain and many types, there are porcelain delicate, the lines are bright and smooth, the shape is dignified and simple, the color is pure and colorful, and it is famous all over the world. The foreign barbarians called "green as jade, bright as a mirror, sound like chime, worthy of being the treasure of porcelain, rare and precious celadon." In addition to celadon, there is also white porcelain, white porcelain is as white as jade, the color is better than snow, its basic characteristics are: thin and lightweight, fine texture, pure white; The glaze is moist, the glaze is milky white or white with bluish, except for the bottom foot, all are full of glaze. The secret color porcelain is not only as bright as ice, but also known for its smoothness to the extent that the bottom of the bowl is like filling with water. Yellow glaze, although it is a bright color, but it is not as bright as the later generations to pierce the eye, over-exaggerated color, it looks unnatural, on the contrary, it is more peaceful and elegant, it looks like a clear jade, enough to confuse the real with the fake. In addition to the above-mentioned types of porcelain. Erchen also brought back a fine porcelain for his father, and his utensils used three glaze colors of yellow, green and white at the same time, through staggered and intermittent use, it became a lot of colors, including primary colors, compound colors, and colors, and his sons have brought back for his father. In addition, I asked my father to vigorously support the north-south maritime trade and broaden the civil trade routes. The son Li Chengdao nodded. After Li Jiancheng read it, he immediately knew from Mingyu's father-in-law:

"Mingyu, where is the Jiangnan porcelain that the prince of Hengshan gave me, get it for me quickly!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! When Mingyu's father-in-law took the porcelain, Li Jiancheng found that this was not a Tang Sancai horse? This horse is a Western Regions tribute horse, with a fat hip and a wide neck. The styling characteristics of the Tang horse, it is mainly quiet, but it is driven by stillness, and you can see that this is a still horse. But through the portrayal of the horse's eyes, the horse's eyes are carved into a triangle, the eyes are round, and then the horse's ears are attached, it seems to be listening quietly or hearing some movement, through such a detailed portrayal to show the inner spirit and inner rhythm of the Tang horse, and the shape of the object is round, full, the proportion is moderate, the form is natural, the lines are smooth, vivid and lively. This shows the craftsmanship of the craftsmen. After Li Jiancheng saw it, he thought excitedly-I didn't expect that this Tang Sancai was also introduced to the people and liked by those overseas businessmen. Not bad, not bad. Li Jiancheng shouted excitedly: "Not bad, not bad." Mingyu's father-in-law saw Li Jiancheng's excited appearance, and his face also showed a happy look - if the master is not happy, then the life of being a slave is not very easy.

On the day of the court meeting, Xiao Yu was dressed neatly and arrived at the court. But I found that the whole court was different from before, and there were many large boxes placed on top of the court. Also, the eldest grandson Shunde, who has not been in the officialdom for a long time and has not been in the court, has also gone to the court, Xiao Yu feels strange, this eldest grandson Shunde has not been to the court for so long, why is he in the court again now, and the eldest grandson Shunde is full of red light, Xiao Yu looked at those big boxes, and then looked at the eldest grandson Shunde, and slowly understood in his heart. The eldest grandson Shunde saw Xiao Yu and immediately greeted Xiao Yu happily:

"Ahh Brother Xiao Shi! ”

"Lord Eldest Sun!"

"Brother Xiao Shi! What happened to Ling's granddaughter? The eldest grandson Shunde lowered his voice:

"I'm still waiting to drink the happy wine of my granddaughter and the prince of Hengshan!" Xiao Yu looked at the eldest grandson Shunde. I sighed deeply for the eldest grandson Shunde - this old boy was sold and paid for him! Just when Xiao Yu was slandering, he only heard Mingyu's father-in-law shouting:

"Your Majesty has arrived, and hundreds of officials kneel to greet you!" After Li Jiancheng sat on the throne of the Xuanzheng Palace, Mingyu's father-in-law shouted:

"Mountain Call!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Li Jiancheng looked at the hundreds of officials of the court and the central government who were kneeling on the ground. When I saw the eldest grandson Shunde.

"Eldest grandson Aiqing! How has your health been lately? ”

"Ahh Thanks to His Majesty's thoughts, the old minister's body has always been tough! Li Jiancheng nodded:

"Good! That's good! Someone! Open all these chests for me. ”

"Yes!" When the chests were opened, they saw that they contained gold, silver, jewelry, silk and silk, fine porcelain, and corals and precious stones brought from overseas. Baiguan looked at these things and didn't know what Li Jiancheng was going to do?

"Eldest grandson Shunde Aiqing!"

"The minister is here!"

"These things are given to you by me!"

"Ahh The minister is really frightened, as the saying goes, no merit will not be punished! These, these things, these things...... "The eldest grandson Shunde's eyes were full of greed, and his words were a little unfavorable. Some of the civil and military officials present were jealous and some despised them, but only Xiao Yu understood a little.

"Humph! You are reactive, eldest grandson Aiqing, you are reactive, but your son eldest grandson has given me a big face. Di Renjie, you quickly twist all the charges brought back by your Qilin secret guard from Hangzhou to the hundred officials of the imperial court and the royal clansmen! ”

"Yes! Obey the order! Di Renjie took out a stack of paper from his arms:

Since he arrived in Hangzhou, Sun Xuan, the chief of the Hangzhou Assassin History, has colluded with his subordinate officials Jiang Xingwang, businessman Zhang Qianli and others, and accepted bribes from businessman Zhang Qianli thousands of taels of silver and ten boxes of jade jewelry. The eldest grandson set up a private checkpoint in Hangzhou, stipulating that all foreign businessmen who came to Hangzhou, whether on the road or at sea, would be subject to the inspection of the yamen, and whether the goods were high or low, they would first send 30 percent of the goods in kind to the Yamen, and all transactions with foreign businessmen in Hangzhou would be successful, and both sides would have to pay 30 percent of the tax. For this alone, the eldest grandson was divided into tens of thousands of taels of white shadow and thousands of gold ingots. There are more than 10,000 silk horses. In the name of colluding with pirates, the eldest grandson detained and tortured the big food merchant Zarangudin to death, and all the goods were confiscated. The eldest grandson is divided into fifteen pearls, eighteen red sapphires, and dozens of gold embroidery threads. Overseas trade is prosperous, silk needs to be much heavier, the eldest grandson secretly instructed his subordinate Muzhou assassin Jiang Xingwang, with businessman Zhang Qianli to come forward, skillfully seize the fertile land in Muzhou, and force the squires in Muzhou to sell the land to Zhang Qianli, Muzhou squire Chen Jiaming was unwilling, Jiang Xingwang imprisoned Chen Jiaming, and divided all the Chen family industries. The eldest grandson shouled more than 10,000 ...... of gold and silver from it" As Di Renjie told word by word, the eldest grandson Shunde's face was blue and white for a while. The corners of his eyes twitched. Li Jiancheng looked at the eldest grandson Shunde:

"Eldest grandson Aiqing, these things were all searched out of your son's mansion by the Qilin Secret Guard. That's a lot! The eldest grandson, Shunde, was so frightened that he knelt down.

"Eldest grandson Shunde, I am not thin on your eldest grandson's family! Can you buy back the dukedom of your country for a mere tens of thousands of taels or hundreds of thousands of taels? Are not the rewards that are given to you every year worth more than these? Compared with the officials of the imperial court, these things are better than the princes of the imperial court! ”
