Luoyang in late summer and early autumn is still sweltering. Emperor Ling was alone in the palace in a panic, so he went to the imperial garden to cool off accompanied by the eunuchs.

Walking on the spotless stone road, he looked at the luxurious and generous pavilions in the east and a delicate chrysanthemum in the west, and couldn't help but sigh. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it loses the charm of beauty after looking at it for a long time, and it is very boring.

He suddenly remembered the scene when he attended Luan Yi's wedding banquet a few months ago, and felt more and more that Luan Yi's thatched cottage was far more interesting than the palace of this high-rise Yuyu.

While pondering, he suddenly heard the eunuch shouting, "What person? ”

Emperor Ling was startled, and followed the prestige, only to see a person nesting behind a bush not far from him, holding something in his hand, like a book.

The man was startled when he saw the emperor in person, got up in a panic, and came to see him tremblingly, "Yu Du is fascinated by reading, and I don't know that the holy car has not been far away from coming, and I have polluted the holy eyes, and I hope that Your Majesty will atone for your sins!" ”

Emperor Ling was in a good mood today, and he didn't blame him, and the big lama waved his hand, "It's okay!" ”

The eunuch who accompanied the driver followed: "Still not retreating? ”

"Whoa!" Yu Du bowed and did not dare to raise his head, hugged his hands forward, and stepped backwards with the scroll in his hands.

"Wait!" Emperor Ling looked back and forth at the book in Yu Du's hand, looking curious, "Can you read?" ”

Yu Du stood in place, "The villain studied in a private school for a few days before entering the palace, although he can't read all the words, he can barely read some miscellaneous books!" ”

"Oh! Read well! Emperor Ling nodded, "What books do you read?" ”

Yu Du smiled in his heart and said secretly: This is it! "Back to Your Majesty, it is a new novel written by the young master, called "Journey to the West".

"Oh? Luan Ziqi? "As soon as I remembered Luan Yi, there was news of Luan Yi here. No wonder there has been no movement of Luan Yi for more than 2 months, it turns out that he is actually writing a book. Emperor Ling was overjoyed, "Bring the book and let me see what masterpieces my all-rounder has produced!" ”

"Whoa!" Yu Du respectfully handed over "Journey to the West" to the accompanying eunuchs, and the accompanying eunuchs handed it over to Emperor Ling.

Emperor Ling took the thick book, and he couldn't put it down after only turning a few pages. Without even saying a word of demand, he put the book in his sleeve and walked towards the main hall humming a small song.

Yu Du raised the corners of his mouth and watched Emperor Ling leave, and said secretly: Mr. Ziqi, our family has already done what you said, as for whether Your Majesty will recruit you into the palace next, it is not something that our family can influence!

As he spoke, he drew a cross on his chest and secretly hid outside the temple to look.

An hour later, sure enough, a small yellow gate ran out of the palace, rode a high-headed horse at the palace gate and rushed into the middle street of Luoyang City, and rushed straight to Luan Yi's mansion, Xuan Luan Yi entered the palace and had a meal with Emperor Ling.

Although Luan Yi had long expected that after watching "Journey to the West", Emperor Ling would summon him, but he didn't expect that Emperor Ling would give such a great honor, so he invited him to eat with him. That way, it's much easier to do the next thing.

Under the service of Cai Yan and Diao Chan, Luan Yi dressed up, his hair was tied in a powerful and solemn bun, with a court dress, a sword at his waist, and a deerskin shoe on his feet, with a graceful demeanor.

Walking in the palace, it attracted the attention of the internal guards, eunuchs, and palace maids for a while.

After the roll call, Luan Yi untied his sword and handed it to the eunuch outside the gate of Ganquan Palace, and walked in with his shoes on his feet. After taking three steps, he bowed and bowed, "Young Master Prince, Luan Ziqi will visit my emperor long live." ”

Emperor Ling looked like a graceful wanderer, "Get up!" Today is a private banquet for the monarch and ministers, and Ziqi does not have to be too formal. Come on, sit down! With a sound, the small yellow door moved the futon and the small case aside.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luan Yi looked for his place and sat on his knees.

After taking a seat, a palace maid came out of the side door and put a variety of dishes on the case of Emperor Ling and Luan Yi. Before leaving, he still didn't forget to look at Luan Yi reluctantly.

"Aiqing, please use it!" Emperor Ling waved his chopsticks and asked, "Is Aiqing used to living in the capital?" ”

Luan Yi arched his hand and said dignifiedly: "Thank Your Majesty Hongfu." On weekdays, ministers may accompany their wives, chant poems and enjoy flowers; or farming and raising birds; or gather three or five friends to drink and catch up; Or grind and write some articles. Such a free and easy life is really the wish of the minister's life, and the good one couldn't be better! ”

"Oh? Hehehe......" Spirit Emperor stroked his palms and laughed, "That's good!" I've read Aiqing's new "Journey to the West". That's so well written! ”

Luan Yi's words changed, "It's just ......"

"Just what?"

Luan Yi said: "The two fathers-in-law are quite dissatisfied with the ministers! ”

Emperor Ling was puzzled, "Aiqing is talented, finding such a virtuous son-in-law is a blessing they have cultivated in a few lifetimes, what complaints do they have?" ”

Luan Yi smiled bitterly and said, "The two fathers-in-law often scold the ministers for only eating, drinking, and having fun, and not having an enterprising heart. ”

"Hey! That's it! Emperor Ling thought for a moment, "Otherwise, I will arrange some other errands for Aiqing to do, okay?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sharp shout from outside the door, "Your Majesty, by all means!" "Following the prestige, it was Zhang Rang who heard that Emperor Ling invited Luan Yi to dine and came to find it." Has Your Majesty forgotten? A few months ago, the dynasty had agreed that Luan Ziqi, as a proton, should never be given a high-ranking position. ”

"This ......," the Spirit Emperor scratched his head.

"Your Majesty is true to his word, and you must not break your word!" After Zhang Rang finished persuading Emperor Ling, he glared at Luan Yi and asked: "Bold Luan Yi, Your Majesty has already spoken first, why did you come to confuse the Holy Hearing again, and ask for merit and reward!" ”

Before coming, Luan Yi inquired early in the morning that Zhang was not in the palace today, so he acted according to the plan, but he didn't expect him to come back so quickly. Fortunately, he had already calculated, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "What does Lord Chang Shi mean? I don't know. ”

"Don't pretend to be confused." Zhang let out the vicious words.

Luan Yi's face didn't change color and his heart didn't beat, "Xia Guan really doesn't know." Please ask for the high-ranking officials mentioned by Zhang Changshi, where did the matter come from? ”

"You...... Hugh has to quibble! ”

"The minister didn't quibble! It was the Chang Servant who misunderstood the lower official. The officials just wanted to say that the two fathers-in-law saw that the officials only cared about playing all day long, and they complained. Xia Guan also felt that it was indeed a bit decadent to go on like this, so he decided to do something in the capital. It's just that these things are not official affairs, and have nothing to do with official positions and titles, but are private businessmen, and they are also things of buying and selling! Luan Yi said.

The Spirit Emperor asked in surprise, "Oh? There are already a lot of Aiqing properties in Luoyang City, and they still want to buy and sell again? ”

Luan Yi smiled and waved his hand, "Those restaurants and shops before were all small purchases and small sales, which are not worth mentioning!" ”

"Huh?" Emperor Ling was so shocked that he almost didn't clench his chopsticks, "But as far as I know, your Luan family can be said to be making money every day in Luoyang City, and such a big industry is not worth mentioning?" ”

"It's really not worth mentioning! In the minds of ministers, the real wealth is not just that. Just ......"

Emperor Ling asked, "Just what?" ”

"It's just that the minister's ability is insufficient, and it is difficult to make it!"

"Speak up and see if I can help?"

Luan Yi sighed and said, "The minister wants to get a piece of land of about three acres in Luoyang West City. But what, the West Market is overcrowded, and the location is prosperous, even if you have thousands of gold in hand, it is difficult to find a place! ”

"What does Aiqing want the land in West City to do?"

"That's exactly what the minister can't do." As he spoke, Luan Yi took out a brocade silk from his sleeve and presented it to Emperor Ling, saying, "The minister wants to build a building." ”

Emperor Ling opened the brocade and took a look, only to see a fine building design diagram leaping on the brocade. Zhang let the probe take a look, but saw that the building was exquisite, beautiful, magnificent, but the level was ......

He shouted again: "Don't you know that it is against the law to build such a high-rise building, and you are bold and trying to build such a three-story building?" ”

Luan Yi said: "Xia Guan knew about it, so he didn't dare to build it, but just collected the spectrum." ”

Zhang Rangzheng wanted to continue to reply, but he heard three "wonderful" in a row from Emperor Ling's mouth, "Is such a tall high-rise building strong?" ”

Luan Yi replied respectfully, "The minister asked the craftsman to see it, this building is supported by thirty-six stone pillars, which is absolutely as solid as a rock." ”

Emperor Ling gathered the design drawings and looked up and down, "Okay! Why not build this building in the palace, it is not against the law to use it for the royal family! ”

"No!" Luan Yi cut the road categorically.

Emperor Ling pulled out the vision from the design and asked, "Why?" ”

"The minister wants to build this building in the West City. When the building was built, it was not used for viewing, but for commercial use. At that time, the first floor will sell miscellaneous goods such as refreshments, tables and chairs, the second floor will sell clothes, shoes, hats, cloths and other wearable items, and the third floor will sell gold and silver jewelry and glass utensils. The building has a complete variety of goods, so the minister called this building a department store. Such a unique building can only be found in the world, only I am a great man, and only a prosperous and prosperous world under the rule of His Majesty can have. It is enough to show the majesty of the Han Dynasty and the wealth of our dynasty. ”

Luan Yi's last sentence was said in the eyes of the Spirit Emperor, and the Ling Emperor's heart was itching. If such a large building were to be built, it would be a great achievement, and it will definitely go down in history. He opened his mouth to answer, but Zhang Rang took the lead.

Zhang Rang said coldly: "The ancestral system must not be violated!" The Spirit Emperor was speechless, but he was unwilling to give up, and squeaked and whimpered to think about countermeasures.

Luan Yi spoke at the right time and said, "It's true that it violates the ancestral system, but it's not completely without a solution?" ”

Emperor Ling was overjoyed and said excitedly: "What is Aiqing's plan?" Come on! ”

"Your Majesty!" Luan Yi arched his hand, "This matter is easy." It would not be a violation to put this department store in the name of His Majesty and become a royal building. ”

Emperor Ling's eyes lit up, "Wonderful, wonderful." Ziqi is so good! ”

"No way!" Zhang Rang retorted again, "How can there be a royal building running outside the palace?" ”

Luan Yi followed up and retorted, "Lord Chang waits for this difference. Aren't His Majesty's palaces in various places part of the royal building? Aren't they also established outside the palace? ”

"That's right!" The Spirit Emperor echoed loudly.

Luan Yi saw that the time had come, and threw out the last olive branch, "Of course, the minister will not let His Majesty give the department store the royal name in vain, and the minister will share part of the proceeds of the building after it is completed to Your Majesty." Let's divide it into three, Your Majesty three, and the minister seven, okay? ”

Emperor Ling was stunned, "Are you saying that I don't have to pay a single penny, just admit that the building was built by the royal family and make a profit of 30%?" ”

Luan Yi shook his head and said, "It's not that nothing comes out!" His Majesty is famous, and his ministers are famous, and his ministers are famous, and that's it. ”

"Oh?" The Spirit Emperor's eyes rolled for a while, and suddenly became serious, "No! ”

Luan Yi was busy for a long time, and when he heard this, he was very depressed. I thought about it, but I still can't do it, and the ending is completely different from what I expected!
