Li Siye crossed his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "That's right, the world is a saint, but as an emperor, he has only been to Mount Tai at the farthest, or only shuttled between Chang'an and Luoyang, or stayed between the three major and Huaqing Palace. There are countless treasures in the world waiting to be discovered and sent to him, and he actually likes to see new things more than anyone else. ”

Cao Anding made a teachable look and nodded: "Understood." ”

"You have to remember that the difference between certain and the other feudal envoys is that I am not short of money. So after you enter Chang'an this time, first contact Mi Chagan, the richest man in Chang'an, who made a fortune in the pepper business. He's my man. The two of you must work together to keep an eye on Yang Guozhong first to prevent him from being used by An Lushan to target us. Secondly, Yang Guozhong is not very reliable, I need to buy a few reliable people in the court to stand in line, such as Wei Jiansu, Cui Yuan, Cui Lian, Ji Wen and others, and later I will ask people to make some worship posts for you, and you will visit them one by one in my name after entering Chang'an. Third, the expansion of the Beiting Anxi Army needs good armor, you use money to open the way to open up the military department and the Shaofu Temple Beidu Armament Prison Joint, and purchase all the armor from various channels and transport it to Hexi. Finally, always help me keep an eye on An Lushan's Fan Yang Ping Lu Jin Concert Academy, and make your own judgment after checking their movements, can you do it?"

Cao Anding immediately knelt down on one knee with his hands crossed and clenched, the thumb in his arms was raised high, and he said loudly with a sense of honor and excitement on his face: "Please rest assured that Dr. Li will do every errand in Chang'an and live up to your trust." ”

"Good!" Li Siye supported Cao Anding's arm with both hands and helped him up, and said with relief: "You go down and get ready, and leave as soon as possible." ”

"Whoa!"

He walked backwards to the door, turned around and was just about to cross the threshold, when Li Siye suddenly stopped him: "By the way, there is another thing, when you go to Chang'an and pass near the Huaqing Palace in Lishan, you will choose a site at the foot of the mountain to prepare for the construction of a warehouse, and after entering Chang'an, let Michagan send someone to contribute money and efforts to ensure privacy and security, because in the future, a large amount of sandalwood will be hoarded in the warehouse." ”

Cao Anding didn't understand what Li Siye was doing in Lishan to build a sandalwood warehouse, since he was ordered by the leader, he just had to do it unconditionally.

The meeting hall was finally empty, and Li Siye was also about to turn behind the screen, taking a moment out of his busy schedule to go to the inner courtyard to accompany Twelve Niang and the children.

Outside, another guard ran to the door and reported from afar: "Report! Hu Cao joined the army, and Dai Wang sent an official document, reporting that the Yangguan Western Regions Commercial Bank had been out of stock for ten days. ”

"Out of stock?" He hurriedly turned out from behind the screen and asked in surprise, "How can it be out of stock?" Give me the official letter. ”

The guard presented the official document, and Li Siye tore open the envelope and read it carefully, and roughly understood the situation.

The spices and peppers passed by the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce from the post station are out of stock, and there must be a problem with the transportation route of the post station, which is thousands of miles long. However, four-fifths of the entire pepper transportation line was under his control, including the Zhiyin tribe on the Green Ridge, the Protector Kingdom, and the Quy Nhon army of Xiao Bolu, and these forces also gained great benefits in the transportation of pepper trade routes. One-fifth of the profits generated by the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce for every stone of pepper transported would be used for the maintenance and payment of trade routes, and it stands to reason that they should not drop the chain.

Could it be that there was a problem at the source of the post teleportation, and if something unexpected happened in North India, it was beyond his control.

Dai Wang had already led his swordsmen and retinue west along the post station, hoping that it would not be a serious matter. This logistics line is his cash cow, and there is absolutely no room for error.

……

In February, the spring was still cold, and the water in the dragon pond in the Xingqing Palace was not rippling, and Li Longji was sitting on the long couch in the pavilion wearing a fox fur with an angry face, and his white hair came out of his head and drooped by the sideburns, as if he was rushed out of anger.

Yang Yuhuan snuggled up to the cashmere Persian blanket at his feet, pinching the wine bottle in one hand and the wine cup full of wine in the other.

"San Lang don't be angry, even Luo Gongyuan Heavenly Master said that cultivators should have no joy or sorrow, so that they can prolong their lives, go to troubles and be quiet."

The emperor glanced down at the beauty, reached out and grabbed her wrist, lowered his head and bit the wine cup and raised his head suddenly, the whole wine fell into his mouth with a crisp sound, and then spit out his lips, and the wine cup fell directly on the carpet.

One look at the craft of drinking, and you know that this technique cannot be practiced in a day or two. Yang Yuhuan looked at the emperor with confused eyes and admiration, probably thinking that he was worthy of being my San Lang, and even drinking was so cool.

Yang Guozhong stood under the pavilion with his hands crossed, his expression was calm and a little timid, he could have such an expression, it was definitely a reason.

"Li Linfu had anything wrong before, but now he has closed the coffin, why should he still hold on to his past mistakes. Can he still threaten your life now? Why do you want to do it to a dead man? ”

Yang Guozhong secretly raised his eyelids and glanced at the emperor, then lowered his eyes and said: "The minister naturally knows that he should be tolerant of the immortal Taiwei Li, but there are some things that must be known to His Majesty, otherwise the minister will not be happy." ”

Li Longji asked in surprise, "Is there anything else I don't know?" ”

"Last year, Absi betrayed the court because An Lushan saw through his conspiracy. Why did he make his subordinates entrenched in Shuofang and unwilling to go to Hedong, because he had already colluded with Li Linfu about father and son, trying to secretly capture Chang'an from Shuofang, intending to rebel. ”

The emperor's scalp tingled when he heard the words "intention to rebel", why have so many people rebelled recently, first Wang Weld Xing conspired against him, how could even Li Linfu rebel against Absi, and did the rebellion become an infectious disease? He was shocked and even his tone trembled a little: "Li Linfu has been buried in the ground and can't defend himself, you don't have to speak on empty ground." ”

Yang Guozhong said calmly: "How dare a minister slander a court hero at will, what Guozhong said has real evidence, and An Lushan can also testify for me." In the winter of last year, he pursued the Absi Department and captured some of Absi's cronies, who confided the news of Li Linfu's collusion with Absi. Now these captives have been escorted to Chang'an, and their confessions have been recorded, and they have all confessed. If your majesty is still suspicious, the minister will bring these sinners up, and they will confess to you with their own mouths. ”

"No need." The emperor's heart was a little shaken, but he obviously didn't want to believe it, and he held his forehead and said: "You can't just listen to the words of these people and call Li Linfu's relatives over for interrogation. You will take the lead and interrogate with Chen Xilie, Wei Jiansu, and the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai. If Li Linfu is guilty, there is no need to be partial, but he can be reported to me, and if this matter is false, he must be returned to his innocence. ”

"Whoa." Yang Guozhong agreed, and he already had a plan in his heart. Li Linfu is now dead, the Li family has long been disheartened, and relatives and friends are even more frightened, as long as he arrests Li Linfu's son and son-in-law so that he can be scared and interrogated, to ensure that someone will not be able to resist Liang's confession.

He now happens to have a master of creating unjust cases under his hands, Ji Wen, this person is famous as a cool official, it is estimated that Li Linfu's sons and sons-in-law were so frightened that their legs were as weak as bamboo tubes and poured beans as soon as they saw him. When Li Gonu was alive, he would never have imagined that the cool official Jiwen he personally promoted would become a nightmare for his family.

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Guozhong's heart secretly felt comfortable, what could be more pleasant than bullying a dead man.
