When Li Yuanxing returned to Qinwangzhuang, it was almost dawn.

No one from the guards of Qinwangzhuang complained, and dutifully lined up in front of the main gate of Qinwangzhuang to wait for Li Yuanxing to return home.

Wang Yuyan was so sleepy that he couldn't even stand steadily, but he still let the maid support him.

When the head of the family returns home, it is natural that someone will greet him, and Wang Yuyan, as the rotating supervisor of this month, naturally cannot hand over this task to others.

When Li Yuanxing entered Qinwangzhuang, the hands of his watch were already five o'clock in the morning.

After picking up Wang Yuyan, and then putting it on the soft sedan chair used in his house: "Go back to sleep, this king has some important things to deal with, and I will go back to the house to accompany you." ”

King Qin had something to do, Wang Yuyan nodded obediently, and just ordered his maid to go to the kitchen immediately to ask someone to prepare something to eat, for fear that Li Yuanxing would be hungry.

Back in his study, Li Yuanxing closed the door, turned on the lamp and sat at his desk.

After gently wiping his hands with a soft cloth and pouring himself a cup of strong tea, Li Yuanxing lit a cigarette and leaned back on the back of the chair.

It's not that Li Yuanxing isn't curious about the content of the note, but Li Yuanxing learned from the cabinet master that the more he looks forward to it in his heart, the more he has to suppress his impulse, impulsiveness may lead to many unpleasant results, and impulsiveness may make him make wrong decisions.

After a cigarette, Li Yuanxing took a deep breath and took a sip of tea.

Then he spread a blank piece of paper on the table, and took out the folded paper from his pocket in his arms.

The paper felt as if it was made of rags, mixed with a small amount of bark. It should be the paper of the North.

It is well preserved, it should have been kept in the box all the time, there is no dust, and there is no trace of sticky water. When he opened the folded paper, Li Yuanxing saw that there were about forty or fifty characters written on it, and it was in regular script.

After reading the content, Li Yuanxing stayed for ten minutes.

It's an IOU, or rather a transaction. A deal that did not pay back and did not complete the promise. An IOU worth 1,400,000 yuan, and a political commitment. The time to settle the payment is 13 years of the Great Cause. That is, Li Yuan had just rebelled. Chang'an City has not yet been captured.

This is an IOU written by Li Chengqian to the Cui family of Qinghe, the Li family of Longxi, and the Zheng family of Xingyang.

That's right, if it weren't for the Hedong clan, it would be impossible for the Li royal family to dominate the world.

The Cui family is in the Shili of the household department, and I'm afraid it's because of this. Look at the Household Department. It is equivalent to guarding the country's money bag. It is also to see when the Li royal family will be able to repay this arrears.

The political commitment is clearly no longer there, because Li Jiancheng has been reduced to a handful of loess.

But this money, if you really have to pay it back. Either Li Er will take out the money now, or he will not admit it.

Take out the money, and the treasury will be empty immediately, and this is not counting the interest for so many years.

This note should be kept in the Cui family, and it should be handed over to Li Yuan by the old master of the Cui family on the day of the card play. Judging from Li Yuan's reaction, this is not a debt collection, so don't do anything, just return the IOU to Li Yuan.

Li Yuanxing carefully placed the note between the two artificial crystal plates, and then vacuum it up. Locked in his own safe, Li Yuanxing will never let anyone look at such a thing anymore, not even Li Er, including Wu Cao.

In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan rebelled. Li Erxiang was like a fanatical crazy teenager, and rushed forward with his soldiers and horses. Li Jiancheng, who is ten years older than Li Er, naturally became the logistics manager, rebellion is not a game, this is related to the life of Li Yuan's whole family, and the Li family needs support.

One and a half million guan, this huge amount of money can be said to have helped the establishment of the Li Tang Dynasty.

This money should not be something that Qinghe Cui can take out.

According to historical records, Li Tang was helped by the Shandong scholars, who were far more than seven surnames and ten families. There should be other family gate valves, such as Lanling Xiao's, Langya Wang's, Langya Yan's, etc.

If you want to rebel, you need reinforcements.

When you rebel, you can say that you are reckless, so there is no limit to your promises.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan would definitely not admit this promise, nor would he share the benefits of his Li royal family with these scholars. Therefore, the scholars are hostile to the Li royal family, and even think that they are barbarians, who only know interests, do not know promises, and are untrustworthy.

If you want to talk to Li Yuan, or do you want to talk to the old patriarch of the Cui family.

Li Yuanxing leaned back in the chair and fell asleep unconsciously, and no one would break in unless Li Yuanxing summoned him in the study.

Li Yuanxing slept until the afternoon of the next day, but Wang Yuyan couldn't wait for Li Yuanxing at dinner, so he took the initiative to come and knock on the door.

"Your Highness, it's time for lunch." Wang Yuyan whispered after entering the house.

Wang Yuyan noticed that Li Yuanxing was still wearing the same clothes as when he came back last night, and they were already wrinkled, obviously Li Yuanxing had been sitting on the chair all night, and she didn't dare to ask more, because she didn't know what would make His Royal Highness King Qin like this.

I just know, it's certainly not a trivial matter.

"Did the kid arrive?" Li Yuanxing asked softly.

I only heard the close guard of the Emperor Taishang say that the carriage had arrived at Chamber of Commerce Street. However, Princess Mingyue's carriage may be faster, and it should enter the village in a while. ”

Wang Yuyan reported truthfully, and the guards of the Emperor Taishang did not mention whether it was a child or anything else.

"Prepare some exquisite food and arrange for someone to pick up Mingyue to the study. You prepare a set of clothes for this king, and then arrange for someone to prepare a basin of hot water, and this king must clean his face! ”

Wang Yuyan's maid went to pass the word, and Wang Yuyan went to pick up Wu Cao in person.

When Wu Cao entered Li Yuanxing's study, Wang Yuyan's pace was obviously slow, she didn't know whether she should leave, and whether she should hear some words.

"Listen to Yuyan too, the person who will come in a while is called Li Wanshun. The daughter of Prince Yin, she will live in the palace of the king of Qin. Emperor Taishang meant to let her follow Mingyue, this matter is arranged, and people who shouldn't know it don't need to know. You pick it up yourself, take it for a shower, change into a decent outfit. ”

Hearing that it was the daughter of Prince Yin, Wang Yuyan really pinched in his heart.

You know, Prince Yin's children can be said to have been killed, and this is where the royal family is cold-blooded. Now that there is suddenly an extra daughter, how can it not be worrying.

Wang Yuyan nodded, and when he went out, he ordered: "Evacuate the ordinary maids first, and arrange for the maids in the inner courtyard to come over......"

"Something amazing must have happened, your eyes tell me that you don't seem to have figured it out?" Wu Cao walked to Li Yuanxing's side and motioned for Li Yuanxing to hold himself and sit on his lap.

Li Yuanxing took out the IOU and put it on the table.

"Li Jiancheng's IOU to the family, I believe the real number should be higher than this. How much money did it cost to raise an army against the Sui, I remember that it was recorded in history that at the beginning, the Li family raised troops but opened a warehouse to release grain, and attracted a large number of refuge by virtue of benevolence, so it can't do big things without money! ”

"It's so hard, and there are countless reasons for it from different angles." Wu Cao shook his head.

Li Yuanxing also agreed with Wu Cao's statement: "That's right, if Li Jiancheng had selfish intentions, then he thought that he would become the next emperor, so some of them may not be written on this paper." ”

"Maybe he was an outcast in the first place!"

"It's also possible that he was stupid and didn't know what it meant to rebel. But it is more likely that this is a kind of investment by the family to the Li family, and it can also be said to be a game, but Li Jiancheng was young at the time and did not realize the complicated part of this, but he just knew that he made a promise, and he could start an army after taking the money! ”

After Li Yuanxing said a lot in one breath, he gently slapped the table: "The only thing I don't understand is that this thing will be handed over to my father, and I can feel that he is not here to collect debts!" ”

"Perhaps it is a kind of reconciliation, a reconciliation for the struggle between the family and the royal family in this decade. The past is gone, and now is a fresh beginning. ”

Hearing Wu Cao's words, Li Yuanxing nodded silently: "I hope so!" ”

"The Emperor is good to me, and that Li Wanshun is in charge of me!" Wu Cao took over this job, but it saved Li Yuanxing a lot of tongue.

Li Yuanxing picked up Wu Cao: "Okay, let's eat." You're going to have to translate for me for a few days, and I'm sure I won't be able to learn Latin, the magical language, anyway. I really don't know, it's amazing that you learned such a strange language as Latin! ”

"It's nerve!" Wu Cao retorted.

"Rome, their emperor sent a caravan with a few hundred people, four of whom were interesting. A woman, a girl, a man, a boy. Among them, the girl is the highest, she is the niece of the Roman emperor's wife, she and her last fiancé, who is also the adopted son of the emperor, Justin came to the Tang Dynasty. The other man claimed to be Caesar's son, the younger and older woman, the sister of the adopted son! ”

Li Yuanxing said too much.

But Wu Cao understood and said softly: "More than thirty years later, this is Justinian II." Roman Emperor! ”

"Caesar's son, this Caesar in the era of the Eastern Roman Empire, should mean the vice emperor, that is, the emperor's second-in-command, so the people sent by the Roman Empire this time have identity and status, and the Tang Dynasty can't ignore it, at least ten years ago, it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to be an enemy of the Roman Empire."

Li Yuanxing directly explained his thoughts.

"Let's start with the language!" Wu Cao bites the word language very hard.

"Language? Yes, how to learn a language without knowing it! ”

"In the modern study abroad in later generations, international students have to take the English test, and they have to pass the language barrier first when they go abroad. Now here in Datang, people who come to Datang to study must first pass the language barrier, such as how much they can wear and how much they can wear, they must learn. A sense of evil flashed in Wu Cao's eyes.

Li Yuanxing lightly slapped Wu Cao's buttocks: "The major affairs of the country are not child's play!" ”

Wu Cao smiled happily.

"Let's go, let's eat!" Li Yuanxing won't mind these little things. (To be continued......)
