Chapter 247: The War on Salt (9)

Li Shimin waited for two days, and when the time came, Li Shimin immediately entered the palace to meet Li Yuan:

"See Father!"

"Excuse me, flat! Shimin, what is the important thing to report to my father today?! ”

"Enlighten the Emperor! Erchen got the news that the caravan of Hammad Azi Benza and Caliph Morikud had been robbed, and he was very anxious, just yesterday, the eldest grandson Wuji came to tell Erchen that the Turkic Turkic little Khan had recently obtained a batch of green salt, and hoped to trade with our court, the price may be a little expensive, and he hoped that this trade would not be known to others.

"Humph! As soon as our green salt was robbed, he was like a cat who asked about the fishy smell, maybe our green salt was robbed by him! When Li Shimin heard Li Yuan say this, he secretly said in his heart: 'It's really in response to that sentence, Jiang is still old and spicy.' Li Shimin lowered his head and did not speak, quietly waiting for Li Yuan's edict.

"Shimin, if this matter is true, I will leave it to you!" Li Shimin promised in his heart and retreated. After Li Jiancheng heard the news, he immediately invited Di Zhixun, Huang Wenqing, Wei Zheng, Di Renjie, Xu Jingzong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xiong Kuohai, Kan Ling and other nine people:

"Ladies and gentlemen, my father has just received the news that Li Shimin entered the palace to meet his father, and mentioned that the Turkic Turkic Turki Little Khan sent someone to contact him, saying that there is a batch of green salt and hopes to trade with our court, and this matter has been handed over to Shimin to handle." As soon as everyone present heard the news, they immediately fell into it, and Dickson spoke first:

"Your Highness! This matter is a bit strange, we have just received the news that the caravan of Hammad Azi Benma and Caliph Morikud has been robbed, and the Turks have immediately sent someone to contact them, saying that they have green salt for sale. Could it be that this matter has something to do with the Turks? Li Jiancheng replied:

"This matter is indeed strange, but it is not inexplicable, the Dorma bandits and robbers in the Western Regions, when they get these green salts, it is inconvenient to sell them in the Guanzhong area, and it is not unreasonable to sell them wherever they are, besides, even if they are related to the little Turkic Khan, according to the current relationship between our dynasty and the Turks, I can't say anything to them or do something." Li Jiancheng said to everyone again:

"This palace invited you to come today, because there are two plans that have been brewing in the heart of this palace for a long time, and I came to you today to discuss these two things."

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"Qingyan was robbed, this case has caused a huge shock in the Guanzhong area, originally the palace wanted to transport the green salt over, and then put the snow sugar on a large scale to the Jianghuai area, now, this matter must not be delayed, so the palace decided to send cronies, the soldiers are divided into two roads, one way to the Turks to explore the whereabouts of the robbers who robbed the green salt, and the other way is to escort the snow candy, to Jianghuai Shandong to sell, or directly with Fugongtuo, Dou Jiande direct trading. in exchange for table salt. Where is Lord Huang Wenqing? ”

"The humble minister is here!"

"In the former Sui Dynasty, you were in charge of the military affairs of Liaodong, so this palace wants you to be in charge of trade matters. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui assisted from the side, and General Kan Ling was responsible for escorting you, I don't know if any of the four of you might be competent? ”

"Your Ministers obey!" Huang Wenqing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Kan Ling thanked him, and Wei Zheng reminded:

"Your Highness, Weichen thinks that this matter is not easy! That Fu Gongtuo took advantage of Du Fuwei's death to ascend the throne, and now the people of Jianghuai are very jealous and disgusted with our dynasty, if we trade in the official name, I am afraid it will ......"

"This palace has long been worried about this matter, so this palace sent Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui under Lord Huang Wenqing, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui." Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui heard Li Jiancheng calling for themselves, and immediately agreed:

"The humble minister is here!"

"Lord Huang Wenqing has a lot of experience in civil and commercial affairs, the two of you have also been practicing politics for a long time in the palace, but you are quite unfamiliar with civil business affairs, so you can learn more by Lord Huang's side, and this business is related to the life and death of the people of our dynasty, and the stakes are very important. Don't take it lightly. Huang Wenqing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Kan Ling immediately knelt down:

"The ministers will definitely complete the task, please rest assured that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will complete it." Li Jiancheng smiled with satisfaction:

"Also, who do you think can go and investigate the robbery of Qingyan?" Before everyone could speak, Li Jiancheng immediately said:

"There is a suitable candidate in this palace, where is Di Renjie?" Di Renjie didn't expect Li Jiancheng to say his name:

"The humble minister is here!"

"King Lone appointed you as a secret envoy, and quickly went to the Turks to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the thieves who robbed the green salt, and you can choose who you need." Di Zhixun, Di Renjie, father and son, were speechless in shock:

"Your Highness, the minister is still young and young, I'm afraid ......" Di Zhixun also excused himself, and Li Jiancheng stopped Di Zhixun's words with gestures:

"Master Di, this palace is in politics, the first is to employ people, never stick to one pattern, age is not a problem, although Ren Jieqing is young, but he has a set of reasoning about the case, this palace also wants to let go, and the employment must not be ignored. If you know that Xunqing is not at ease, the palace will make Qing the deputy envoy and assist on the side, but remember that Qing is the deputy envoy, and everything is decided by Ren Jieqing. And let General Xiong Kuohai escort you, General Xiong Kuohai is strong in martial arts, Kuohai, this palace will hand over the lives of the two Di Aiqing to you. Li Jiancheng's words are unmistakable. Everyone present slowly heard that Li Jiancheng was supporting Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Di Renjie at this time. Di Zhixun and Xu Jingzong were the happiest, because their sons and disciples were slowly moving towards the foreground. And Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are also very excited, although they can't be like Di Renjie can be a chief official and take charge alone, but Fang Du and the others know where their abilities are, besides, it is not easy to go to Shandong Jianghuai to sell sugar.

In Monan, in the sweat tent of the Turkic Turkic Khan, the Turkic Khan and the eldest grandson Wuji drank mare's milk wine together:

"Brother eldest grandson, since the last goodbye, I miss my brother very much! Now that you can come to my Monan again, you must stay a few more days. Let my brother relieve the pain of lovesickness! The eldest grandson Wuji poured himself mare's milk wine and took a sip:

"The Great Khan is polite, little brother, I also miss the Great Khan very much in Chang'an! So this time I specially asked King Qin for this errand, but I was busy with official business in Chang'an, so I am afraid that I can't stay here longer. It's better to hurry up and complete the material exchange first, so that the meeting will be handed over as soon as possible. The younger brother brought 30,000 quintals of grain and 60,000 sets of cotton clothes this time. I don't know if Brother Khan is satisfied with this number. ”

"Hmmm! Sounds good, Ben Khan can also give an account to the eldest grandson brother, this time Brother Khan I have seized nearly 10,000 catties of green salt, I want to exchange these things you brought, I'm afraid there are less! The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked:

"Brother Khan, where are you talking here? Didn't we say it was decided at the beginning? Tuli Khan smiled:

"Brother Eldest Sun, you shouldn't have done business before!" The eldest grandson Wuji was born noble, and the eldest grandson Wuji was more contemptuous of the market merchants. However, the meaning of the words of the Tuli Khan is still very clear, this is the rhythm of sitting on the ground, in order to hide the panic and embarrassment in his heart, the eldest grandson Wuji poured another glass of mare's milk wine and drank it, and was desperately thinking about how to deal with the Tuli Khan, but the mare's milk wine did not enter the mouth of the eldest grandson Wuji, and flowed down the bowl drop by drop. Tuli Khan naturally knew what the eldest grandson Wuji was thinking, and Tuli Khan also took a sip of the mare's milk wine in the bowl:

"We Turks don't want to be like the Central Plains, there are no coquettish songs and dances at the banquet, if we perform wrestling again, I'm afraid it seems that my Great Turks have no one, it just so happens that Ben Khan got a few strangers a few days ago, and they all have unique skills. Today, the eldest grandson brother happened to come, so let them show it and open the eyes of the eldest grandson brother. "The eldest grandson Wuji was still thinking about it, and didn't notice what the Turki Khan said? Tuli Khan reminded:

"Brother Eldest Grandson, Brother Eldest Grandson!"

"Oh! What does Brother Khan do when he shouts Mowgli? ”

"Oh! Ben Khan got a few Inhumans a few days ago, and all of them have special skills. Today, the eldest grandson brother happened to come, so let them show it and open the eyes of the eldest grandson brother. ”

"Oh! That's great! I asked Brother Khan to find them, and I opened my eyes. The Turki Khan slapped his hand, and immediately two Turkic guards entered:

"Great Khan!"

"Go and fetch Ben Khan's Wind Guardian Guard. Lead the cattle again. ”

"Yes! Sweat! After a while, a man came in from outside the tent, and among these people were Han Chinese, Turkic people, and people from the Western Regions. In addition, a sturdy black bull was brought in.

"This is the sworn brother of Ben Khan, the eldest grandson of the envoy of the Tang Court. Lord Changsun is a big man from Chang'an! The brother-in-law of Li Shimin, the second son of Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, you have to behave well. Don't lose my face as a great Turk! "When Tuli Khan introduced the eldest grandson Wuji to those ten people, especially when it came to Li Shimin, the king of Qin, the eldest grandson Wuji obviously felt the unkind gaze of one of them.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, there are two worst among you, open the eyes of Lord Eldest Sun." After the ten men saluted the Turki Khan and the eldest grandson, they dispersed, only two remained where they were, and then drew their scimitars, and the black bull seemed to realize the danger, and it looked around, trying to flee from this place, but it was too late. The two people with scimitars in their hands cooperated with each other, and they had already rushed forward to scratch at the bull, and the eldest grandson Wuji only felt that the bull was wrapped in chaos, and the bull had not yet screamed and turned into a pile of white bones, without a trace of flesh and blood on it. I suddenly felt a wetness on my face, and when I touched it with my hand, it was a drop of blood, as if it was still mixed with minced meat. The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly had a feeling of wanting to vomit, he desperately suppressed his discomfort, and deliberately pretended to clap his hands relaxed:

"Good! All right! It's wonderful. It's wonderful! Brother Khan can have such a master, it is really a blessing for Brother Khan! I don't know where Brother Khan got these good hands. ”

"Hahaha! These ten people were originally horse thieves in the Western Regions, specializing in robbing merchants in the Western Regions, and later because they hurt too many lives, they were hunted down by the countries of the Western Regions and the Turkic Khanate. Brother Eldest Grandson, what do you think of these guards of mine! ”

"What a heavenly soldier came to the world!"

"Where, where! By the way, there is no fun in killing cattle, it is better for Ben Khan to find another slave, I believe that the eldest grandson brother will definitely open his eyes. ”

"Ahh No need! Killing too much is against the peace of heaven, forget it. ”

"Oh! The thing about the supplies......"

"This is easy to say, brother, I am repairing the book King Qin, and I will double the supplies."

"Good! Brother Khan is here to thank you, after serving some mare's milk wine, today Ben Khan and the eldest grandson brother are not drunk and do not return. ”
