Chapter Seventy-Seven: Yang Wei jumped up and down
Li Fuguo heard Li Heng praise Li Siye so much, his face unconsciously showed a little jealousy, but he still remained silent, and followed Li Heng's words and said: "This person is indeed a talent, but now that he is under the command of the crown prince, he has a bright future, and it is useless for His Highness to think too much."
"Indeed, it is not profitable." Li Heng raised his head and thought about it, if there was no accident in his life, he must be an idle prince who was away from the court and at ease, if the other party was really a talent, under the command of the prince, and in the future, he would go in and out to assist the king, it was someone else's business.
Li Fuguo's eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something, and stepped forward to offer advice to Li Heng: "Your Highness, Concubine Wu Hui, Yang Huan's side, may not know these things yet." We might be able to go and get some wind. ”
Li Heng raised his head and smiled faintly, and asked rhetorically, "Is this doing us any good?" ”
"The benefits are naturally there, Concubine Hui's grace is long, if Your Highness can gain favor in front of her, she may speak well for you in front of Your Majesty."
Li Heng shook his head after thinking for a while: "Although this move is to please Concubine Hui, it offends the prince, which is inappropriate." While there are some benefits, there are big risks to take. ”
Li Fuguo persuaded again: "How can the prince know? Even if we don't say it, Concubine Hui will know sooner or later. ”
"That's right," Li Heng said, "If we don't say it, Concubine Hui will know, so Concubine Hui won't be grateful to us." If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. ”
Li Fuguo gave up persuasion, and said with a smile in agreement: "Your Highness, you are still too cautious. ”
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. It's better for us not to get involved in the matter between the crown prince and Concubine Wu Hui, no, it's better not to even know anything between them. ”
……
Yang Xun sat and waited in the princess's mansion, and did not go out for a day, what he was waiting for was the news of Taifu Temple, because the household department of Shangshu Province officially checked the money owed by the palaces and princes to Taifu Temple from today, and the prince Li Ying should be anxious at this time.
However, he waited until the afternoon and sent to the inner line of Taifu Temple to come to the house to report to him.
"Don't have any debts in the East Palace, they have returned all the coins the day before yesterday."
When the colt heard the fire, he reached out and grabbed the official's collar: "You fucking lied to me!" ”
Although the official was frightened, his expression did not change much, and he said firmly: "Don Ma, what the lower official said is true, if you don't believe it, you can go to Taifu Temple to check it out in person." ”
Yang Xun stupidly let go of the official's chest, and asked to himself with a disappointed expression, "How can this be?" His Majesty ordered the Taifu Temple to be investigated, and the princes and princesses were all in danger, who could raise a lot of money for the prince, six million money, which is not a small amount. ”
Yang Juma thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a reason, the official crossed a bow in front of him, bowed down and said, "Don Ma, there is nothing else, I will retire." ”
Yang Wei waved his hand, still thinking about it, and waited for a long time before he called a few powerful servants up, and ordered solemnly: "You guys are in Chang'an to inquire about the news, and it is best to go to the vicinity of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion in Yongfufang to find out which princes and princesses have shipped a large amount of money and property in their mansions, how much money they have, and where has it been transported?" ”
Several people took the order and left.
Yang Hui waited in the mansion for another two or three hours, and when it was dark and about to curfew, the servants returned to the mansion one after another and came to the room to report to Yang Huan.
"Alang, we've found out."
Yang Wei was in high spirits and hurriedly asked, "What did you find out?" Which prince made up this huge sum of money for the crown prince? ”
"It's not a prince, it's a rich merchant in Chang'an City."
Yang Xun was shocked: "A rich businessman in Chang'an? How did they get involved with the crown prince? ”
"Ahem, it's not a tie-in, don't you remember yesterday's ball game? Those spectators on the court are the prince's funders, and the invitations sent out by the prince are all bought by them with money. ”
Yang Wei raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then sat softly behind the warped case, the self-deprecating sneer on the corner of his mouth never dissipated, he was almost silent for a long time before he grabbed the glass tea bowl from the desk and smashed it on the ground.
"! actually used Lao Tzu's ancestral property to make money! What a fucking high idea! ”
A few subordinates did not dare to step forward to dissuade them, so they had to quietly retreat, leaving only one of their cronies standing on the ground, waiting for the horse to dissipate.
Yang Wei pinched his chin and pondered: "As a prince, he actually does business, and sells invitations as tickets, what is the difference between this and street jugglers?" I will find one or two people, and let them testify and buy the invitation from the prince. And then use this evidence to meet Your Majesty and sue the prince! ”
The cronie bowed his head and said, "With all due respect, no one will come forward to testify." ”
Yang Wei frowned, as if he was inquiring.
"People are chasing fame, and it must be a great honor to be able to get the invitation of the prince. Who would admit that this invitation was bought? They had a false name, and they were even more reluctant to offend the prince, so they naturally refused to stand up and testify. ”
"Then I'll pay a lot of money for a bounty!"
"Donkey, people who can spend thousands of dollars to buy invitation posts won't care about your rewards, these people are worth tens of millions, but they need to be famous."
Yang Xun pondered for a long time before saying, "Then you can't let go of the prince!" Even if it is only gossip, I will go into the palace to tell Your Majesty. ”
……
On the second day, the sky was clear, the white clouds were long, and Li Longji of Tang Xuanzong drank in the calyx Xianghui Building of Xingqing Palace, and watched the palace concubines sing and dance. Accompanied by Concubine Wu Hui, Zhang Jiuling, Zhongshu Ling, Pei Yaoqing, the provincial servant, and Li Linfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Linfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
At the banquet, Li Longji was in high spirits and in a good mood, and Li Linfu and others frequently drank wine, so they drank a few more glasses.
The silk and bamboo music in the ears is melodious and pleasant. In front of him, there were a group of singing and dancing flowers, and Li Longji's eyes were full of glitz, so he said with great satisfaction: "Qing and others should drink a few more cups to celebrate this year's bumper harvest and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing picked up their wine glasses, raised their heads and drank them all.
"This is Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, taking care of the people of the world, and the love of God, so that there is the auspiciousness of abundant grains."
Li Linfu patiently waited for the two ministers to finish drinking, and then picked up the wine glass and threw out such a word of praise.
Li Longji liked Li Linfu's praise very much, and the Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Han Xiu, and Zhang Jiuling in front of him who he appointed in the past all had a group of literati who were lonely and widowed, and easily refused to say beautiful words to the emperor.
Gao Lishi stood behind Li Longji and served at any time, only to see an internal supervisor come forward to report, Gao Lishi couldn't help frowning.
"Your Majesty, Yang Hui asks to see you."
Li Longji was in a good mood, so he naturally responded: "Announce him in." ”
Yang Hui came to the front desk of the building and bowed down: "Son-in-law Yang Huo knocks to see Your Majesty, Concubine Hui." ”
Xuanzong happily stretched out his hand and said, "Yang Xun, since you are here, give a banquet to drink." ”
Yang Wei bowed with his hands and touched the ground with his head: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." ”
The palace eunuchs set up a table next to the song and dance, and presented delicious wine and food. Yang Xun stepped forward and knelt down in front of the desk, raised the wine cup to salute the emperor, and then to the concubine, and shook the wine glass at the two prime ministers.
When facing Li Linfu, Yang Wei was overjoyed, he didn't expect to meet Li Shangshu here, I heard that this person can speak well, is very inciting, and secretly inclined to the mother concubine, now with his help, the prince Li Ying will shed his skin if he does not die.
Li Linfu also smiled back meaningfully, the two did not speak between each other, and had already exchanged the signals they wanted to convey.
