Chapter 1010: Qingyun Wine Shop
Of course, Li Jiancheng understood that his father's words were insincere, if it was really solved in Taiyuan, the matter would be big, he nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Father, ministers, in Bingzhou, the Turkic army was completely annihilated, and the soldiers of the Tang army also shed blood and contributed to the effort, paying the price of 10,000 people, especially General Wang Junkuo's outstanding achievements, even Zhang Xuan did not dare to deny it, he personally recognized the merits of the Tang army, since the war is over, the next step is to deal with the aftermath, how to divide the spoils, how to compensate the fallen soldiers, for the Tang Dynasty, It also involves the question of the ownership of the three northern counties, and the matter is not so simple, so it should be negotiated by the imperial courts of both sides, and I think this is the reason why the central capital sent envoys here.

Li Yuan stared at Li Jiancheng sharply, and asked, "The emperor has already been in contact with Zhang Xuan in Bingzhou?" ”
"Back to my father, since we are fighting the Turks together, of course there will be contact."
"What is that Jang Hyun's attitude? Are you willing to return and merge the three northern counties? ”
Li Jiancheng had already sensed that the dissatisfaction in his father's tone was intensifying, and he muttered: "Zhang Xuan avoided this matter and only talked about the division of the spoils. ”
At this time, Chen Shuda got up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen has some thoughts on this matter. ”
Chen Shuda stepped forward, easing the tension in the hall, and Li Yuan also realized that he was a little out of shape, so he nodded, "Chen Xiangguo, please speak!" ”
Chen Shuda bowed slightly to Li Jiancheng again, and then said unhurriedly: "As Your Majesty said just now, dividing the spoils of war is just a trivial matter, the Tang Army's fight against the Turks is for the sake of righteousness, not for a little spoil, Zhang Xuan is the superior, he should also understand this truth, so why does he have to make a big deal about small things?" Considering that the other party's envoy is Wen Yanbo again, Weichen believes that Zhang Xuan is using the matter of negotiating the spoils of war to remind us that we must abide by the results of the last negotiation, Xiao Mo has been destroyed, so the division of counties and counties must be handled in accordance with the agreement reached. ”
Li Yuan said with a smile: "It is worthy of Xiangguo, and it really makes sense if you think about it far." ”
At this time, Li Yuan saw that Liu Wenjing wanted to speak and stopped, so he smiled and said, "What is Liu Xiangguo's opinion?" ”
Liu Wenjing got up and saluted: "Weichen thinks it should be related to the matter of Hetao?" ”
As soon as he said this, Pei Lin on the other side immediately showed a gloating expression, and Chen Shuda was shocked, this matter is a sore spot for the saint, how can he say it in public?
Li Yuan's face sank at that time, and he said coldly: "Today I will only talk about the envoy of the Northern Sui, and Liu Xiangguo should not deviate from the topic." ”
Li Jiancheng sighed secretly, in fact, Liu Wenjing is well-informed and can always see the essence of the problem, but he just doesn't know how to figure out the holy will, and he is still a white-faced scholar in terms of human feelings.
Li Jiancheng couldn't bear it, so he came forward and said: "Since the envoy will arrive in Chang'an tomorrow, it is better for my father to appoint the corresponding minister on our side first, listen to the other party's statement, and we will not be too late to deal with it!" ”
Li Yuan had already been swept away by Liu Wenjing, so he didn't want to talk about it anymore, "Since I am here to discuss the aftermath, then the emperor is responsible for dealing with it!" ”
Chen Shuda hurriedly said: "The other party just came to a waiter from the Ministry of Rites, it is a bit inappropriate to let the prince come forward to deal with it, it is better for His Royal Highness the Prince to sit behind the scenes, and we will also send an official with the corresponding level, so as not to be underestimated by the other party, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”
Li Yuan nodded, "Quasi-play, by the Ministry of Rites Lang Yu Wenshi and the corresponding negotiation." ”
After a pause, Li Yuan said to Chen Shuda again: "Please ask Chen Xiangguo to also participate in this matter!" ”
"Wechen obeys!"
Li Yuan got up and left under the congratulations of the ministers, and everyone also left the side hall in twos and threes, at this time, Li Jiancheng walked to Chen Shuda's side and said with a smile: "Chen Xiangguo may as well come to the East Palace if he has time, and we will discuss the corresponding matters together." ”
"The prince has a call, how dare the old minister disobey, the old minister still has two important things to deal with in the morning, why don't I come over in the afternoon."
"No problem, it depends on the convenience of Xiangguo, or I will come to the ministry, and by the way, I will also invite Yuwen Shilang."
"This ..... How can this work, let's go to the East Palace for Weichen! ”
The breadth and profundity of the Chinese language lies in this, many things do not need to be said thoroughly, the tone is a little hesitant, the other party can be in a good mood, Chen Shuda of course knows that it is not a good idea to go to the East Palace now, and it is wise to keep a little distance from the prince, but because of the prince's call, he is not good not to agree, so when the prince gave a step, he immediately showed hesitation, which is actually a hint to Li Jiancheng, in order to avoid some unnecessary suspicions, it is best not to talk in the East Palace.
Li Jiancheng understood it, so he smiled and said: "Then it is a word, I will come to the Ministry of Officials to negotiate with Xiangguo in the afternoon." ”
The two of them said a few more words, and then they went their separate ways.

Qingyun liquor shop located in Wubenfang is quite famous in Chang'an, it is the nearest liquor shop from the imperial city, the place is spacious, the environment is elegant, and the wine is mellow and fresh, the name of the liquor shop is also good, a metaphor for the prosperity of the clouds, so it is deeply loved by the court officials, every day here is full of drinkers, and the business is very hot.
Some veteran drinkers know that this wine shop is the property of the Dou family, but just last month, the Dou family exchanged this wine shop and the Yu family for a long-awaited manor, so that the two manors of the Dou family can be connected into one, and they have obtained an excellent feng shui location in Zhongnan Mountain.
As for the transaction between the two companies, it no longer matters who takes advantage, at least each takes what he needs.
The new shopkeeper of Qingyun Wine Shop is a very shrewd and capable person, and can speak well, and the service of the guys is also very thoughtful, and soon won the recognition of the old drinkers, so that Qingyun Wine Store was not affected by the change of owner at all, and the business continued to be hot.
Because the business is too good, the wine store is also equipped with an account room, the account office surnamed Gao, is a scholar in his twenties, and is said to be a distant relative of the Yu family.
The high account room is naturally Gao Jin, although the property rights of the wine shop are owned by the family, but the operator is the intelligence bureau of the Northern Sui Dynasty in Chang'an.
Fang Xuanling attached great importance to this wine shop, and he decided that Gao Jin would sit in this wine shop and use this wine shop to obtain important information about the Tang Dynasty.
So Gao Jin is nominally the bookkeeper, but in fact he is the real director of this wine shop.
In the early morning, not long after the Chang'an City Gate opened, the wine store also began to be busy, preparing for the opening, cleaning, preparing ingredients, and arranging a single room.
At this time, a carriage stopped at the door of the store, and the coachman turned around and smiled: "Sir, this is Qingyun Liquor Store." ”
A scribe in his thirties stepped out of the carriage, and he looked up at the huge wine flag, on which were written in seal script with the four big characters of 'Qingyun Wine Shop'.
The scribe nodded, took out a half-tael gold leaf and handed it to the coachman, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard all the way. ”
The coachman thanked him with the gold leaf in both hands, and then happily drove the carriage out of the wine shop.
The scribe tidied up his coat and hat, went up the steps and walked towards the wine shop, the door of the wine shop was not closed, there happened to be a bartender sweeping the floor at the door, he saw that the scribe was coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "This gentleman, the shop is still open for half an hour, Mr. can go to the side to see the scenery, and come back, the villain will definitely entertain Mr." ”
The scribe was Ling Jing, who got off the carriage halfway, and he did not bring his entourage, but rented a carriage all the way to Chang'an.
Ling Jing smiled and said, "I'm here from Zhongdu to find your high account room, is he there?" ”
When the bartender heard that he was coming from Zhongdu, he was immediately in awe, and hurriedly said, "The account office is here, I'll call him!" ”
The bartender rushed away, and after a while, Gao Jin hurried over, and saw that it was Ling Jing, who had joined the army, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "It turned out to be Mr. Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Ling Jing smiled slightly, "Brother Xian knows I'm coming?" ”
Gao Jin nodded, this is not the place to talk, please follow me to the backyard.
Ling Jing came to the backyard account room, Gao Jin closed the door, and then did the subordinate salute, Ling Jing waved his hand and smiled: "This is not Zhongdu, we are casual, do you know my intention?" ”
"The day before yesterday, I received a purple eagle letter from the military division from Lou Fan County, which was forwarded to the envoy of the Central Capital, this is the first purple cylinder letter we received, we are wondering, I didn't expect to join the army."
Eagle letter distinguishes importance by the color of the letterbox, the highest level is purple, followed by red, and then yellow cylinder, while ordinary eagle letter does not have any color, and Yang Chonglan's level can only open the red cylinder letter, for the purple cylinder letter is generally the warrant of King Qi, and only the military division level has the right to open it.
Ling Jing's arrival made Gao Jin immediately understand the meaning of the purple cylinder letter.
Ling Jing was overjoyed, sure enough, His Highness had a warrant coming, and he hurriedly said: "I am the deputy envoy, and I came here to get His Highness's warrant." ”
"Please sit down and rest when you join the army, eat something more, and then go to Dongshi to get the letter, and return immediately."
Ling Jing was really a little hungry, so he smiled and said, "Just come with a few snacks, you go and go back quickly!" ”
Gao Jin saluted and turned around and went out, he first asked the bartender to serve Ling Jing food, and he rode a horse to gallop towards Dongshi. (To be continued.) )
