Chapter Forty-Eight: A Powerful Opponent
Sitting behind the small table with the teacup in his hand, he looked at the girls with an expressionless face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"How many powerful people in the current dynasty have bought a sedan chair today?"
The women bowed their heads and pondered the results of the day. This matter is something that Helan Minzhi has already explained, and it is an important thing that they must remember. What you want is to be a high-ranking official above the fourth rank of the dynasty. This was the original intelligence system, and he was able to deduce certain weaknesses of these people based on the future historical trend through these very small things.
Several people exchanged glances, but Miss Mei bent down lightly and said, "Back to the young master, on the first day of today, there are not many sedan chairs in the transaction. But there are not many powerful people in the dynasty. There are people in the Yang Sacrifice Wine House again, and in addition to the sedan chair chosen by the Lord of the Wine Festival, they also ordered the lady and the young master of the house. β
"Oh? I went on the first day? It shows that my uncle is actually very satisfied with the sedan chair, right? He joked with interest.
The women couldn't say anything more, so they could only nod silently.
"What about the others? The powerful people of the current dynasty can't just go to our own family, right? β
"Of course, the housekeeper of the eldest grandson's family is the first to come." Miss Mei said as if she had thought of the situation when the four housekeepers came.
"Oh? Let's talk about it. Helan Minzhi seemed to be interested, put down the teacup in his hand and asked quickly.
"Yes. The eldest grandson's family customized a total of five sedan chairs. Among them, there is one for the Taiwei, one for the lady, and one for each of the three sons in the house. β
"Tell me about the dΓ©cor."
"The palanquin of the eldest grandson is only the most ordinary blue, but the wood is made of the most precious wood, and there is no decoration. Madame's wood is a little inferior, but both the interior and exterior are much better. The three sons are all the most ordinary, and it can be said that they are a little shabby. β
Listening to Miss Mei's words, Helan Minzhi's brows were furrowed more and more tightly. This is completely different from the eldest grandson Wuji recorded in historical materials.
According to the records, after Taizong's death, his authority grew. even overshadowed the current emperor Li Zhi, and it was the general of power, and he didn't know how to converge at all.
But from this little thing, it can be seen that the eldest grandson Wuji not only knows how to be restrained, but also pays great attention to every detail. This is not a good thing in the future, after all, he is the captain of the dynasty, the elder of the three dynasties, and the emperor's maternal uncle. If you still die on a trumped-up charge, it will be more or less detrimental to the future.
"Only five sedan chairs?" Helan Minzhi asked again.
At this moment, Miss Mei seemed to remember something: "Ah, there is another sedan chair." The material of the wood is not inferior to that of the eldest grandson, and he specially requested that it be decorated with gold and silver threads, and a peony flower was embroidered. I don't know who in the house can have such treatment. β
Hearing this, Helan Minzhi instantly raised his head and stared at Miss Mei's eyes with his eyes. The hand holding the water cup squeezed it hard, and without hesitation, he slammed the water cup towards the small table. The loud noise startled several girls in the silence of the room. Everyone instantly trembled unconsciously, and quickly bent down and lay their foreheads on the floor, not daring to make any sound.
Especially Miss Mei, the composure just now was completely gone, her forehead was lying on the floor, and she could clearly see the sweat stains she was shedding under the sunset. His back was constantly shaking, and he looked unusually scared.
"This is the only time, not the next one."
I was stunned for a long time, but there was no sound in the whole room. A huge sense of oppression condensed in the hearts of every girl. Helan Minzhi suddenly spit out such a sentence, which made them seem to relax suddenly.
Miss Mei hurriedly kowtowed to him: "Young Master Xie, Young Master Xie." β
"You've all been carefully cultivated by me, and I don't want to see this kind of stupid mistake happen next time. If you can't even remember this, then what use do I want you to have? The voice was flat, but in the room where the last rays of the faint rays of sunlight shone in at sunset, it looked strange and terrifying.
"Don't dare, don't dare to have a next time."
"Get up!"
didn't look at them, Helan Minzhi just felt that the matter of the eldest grandson Wuji was even more tricky. This is just the beginning of his reign and he has not had much time, so he can do everything in detail, and in the future, what if his authority is flourishing?
Don't forget, Wu Zetian didn't just become the queen as soon as he entered the palace, and then ascended the throne. Whether she can become the queen or not, the eldest grandson Wuji is the biggest resistance.
These things, don't think that Helan Minzhi's consideration is unnecessary, you must know at the beginning. Wu Zetian had no forces to rely on except for Emperor Li Zhi. If I can help her when she needs her most, you can imagine what the future will be. She will not rely only on her relatives, but on her necessary political partners.
Therefore, the most urgent thing for Helan Minzhi is to collect all the information about the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Han Jin, Lai Ji and others as soon as possible during this period of time, in order to look forward to finding their weaknesses from the subtleties in the future and breaking them one by one.
However, now it seems that the details of this eldest grandson are extremely simple. His sons are very shabby, and the most gorgeous sedan chair in the house is a female sedan chair, which is not his wife's. There is no doubt that it is Princess Changle, the eldest daughter of her daughter-in-law Taizong Li Shimin.
If you were the emperor, would you be suspicious of having a minister in power?
The answer is yes.
If you see that this minister himself is very simple, the only good and gorgeous things are given to his daughter-in-law from royal origin. With this respectful attitude towards the royal family alone, the emperor will rest assured, and he will be more and more kind to this minister!
His eyes narrowed slightly, his hands turned the teacup intentionally or unintentionally, and there was no look in his eyes. This opponent is far from being as simple as imagined.
At this time, Chang'an City gradually became calm from the noise of the day. The last rays of the sunset have also disappeared, and the Tang people uphold the spirit of sunrise and sunset, and the people have returned home. His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Empire, was holding a beauty in his arms in the harem at this time, teasing his son. The first person in the dynasty, the eldest grandson, also spent his hard day and started a family banquet to enjoy the joy of family.
No one would have thought that in this Chang'an East City, a small sedan chair shop has set off a trend of its own times.
No one would have thought that in this small courtyard belonging to the Guanlong nobles, the Hongnong Yang family. In the mind of a late-born junior who was optimistic about the sacrificial wine of the dynasty, he was thinking about how to get rid of the head of the Guanlong aristocracy in the future.
