He didn't expect that Yi Jushi, who had always been proud, would collapse in front of him at this moment. This person who had made him sleepless for many days and nights was finally no longer a threat.

After a long while, he realized that he had such a good opportunity, so he hadn't seized it quickly. Once it passed, it would be troublesome if Jushi Yi recovered, so he didn't ask, but said directly,

"Yi Jushi and his disciples conspired for money and murder. This is an unforgivable crime. They will be beheaded in the afternoon!"

Wu Liang wanted to struggle at first, thinking that the emperor would pardon him for his master's sake.

But I didn't expect Li Shimin to be so heartless, he didn't care about the friendship with Jushi Yi in the past, and he beheaded without even asking a word.

He knelt on the ground, desperately begging for mercy, but was dragged down by the Imperial Forest Army.

Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Cheng Yaojin said,

"The emperor's capture of Yi Jushi this time is all thanks to Lin Yu, you see..."

Li Shimin naturally understood what he meant, because he was very happy to get rid of Yi Jushi's thorn in his heart, so he waved his hand and said,

"Lin Jushi, just tell me what you want, and I will definitely satisfy you!"

Lin Yu replied,

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but the grassroots don't ask for anything."

"Then do you want to become an official in the court? In this way, you can benefit the people with your own strength."

"The grassroots don't like government affairs, they just want to be safe and stable, and live an ordinary life, so it's hard to obey."

Lin Yu's answer made Li Shimin wonder how to continue talking.

Li Tai on the side reminded,

"Brother, father's pen and ink is a must..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was delighted in his heart, and invisibly felt even more pleased with Li Tai.

And this was what Lin Yu had discussed with Li Tai before.

Since he became a brother with Li Tai, he must create good opportunities for his brother.

Although he doesn't know whether history can be changed, he is willing to do his best. Even if Li Tai can't become emperor in the end, he must not end up being demoted.

"The grassroots man of the emperor dares to ask you for a pair of calligraphy!"

"Oh? What do you want? Poetry or calligraphy and painting?"

Li Shimin asked happily.

Lin Yu said with a smile, "I want to ask for three words - Hezhitang!"

Chapter 162, the emperor's strategy?

After the early court ended, Li Shimin held a large banquet for the elders of Chaozhong Pavilion and the relatives of the emperor to celebrate Qin Shubao's recovery.

Of course, the true meaning is only known to those who have been to the early dynasty.

Lin Yu offended almost all the ministers. If Li Shimin hadn't made such a move, there might be some people with ulterior motives secretly plotting against Lin Yu.

After all, all the lists are with Lin Yu. As long as he exists, some people will not be able to live in peace.

However, at the banquet, Li Shimin did not commend in public, but just casually mentioned Lin Yu's name. Even so, it made some people present tremble with fear.

At the banquet, Cheng Yaojin brought up the fact that Yi Jushi even made his apprentice Wu Liang prevent Lin Yu from rescuing Qin Shubao, and also brought out the agreement between the two of them for betting.

After Li Shimin saw it, he immediately ordered Wu Liang to walk through Chang'an City on his knees, otherwise he would be executed immediately.

Of course, this was just a small episode, and many ministers didn't take it seriously. First, Wu Liang deserved what he deserved, and second, Yi Jushi had lost power, and no one cared about Wu Liang's life or death.

After the banquet, Lin Yu went back to the Qin Mansion directly with Qin Huaiyu and Qin Shubao. He briefly checked Qin Shubao's wound, and it was indeed almost healed.

This is also due to the fact that ancient people did not use any antibiotic drugs, so the efficacy of Western medicine on ancient people is two to three times higher than that on modern people.

Lin Yu went to Wanbao Building again, and learned from Xiao Yukou that Zhao Yu, the shopkeeper of Baijia Cloth Shop, came to see him this afternoon, and said that he had brought back thirty pieces of silk and satin from Qingzhou, two pieces of purple gauze and light silk. match.

Lin Yu rushed there immediately, and learned from Zhao Yu that although silk and satin are high-end fabrics, ordinary rich people can afford them

Only this silk and satin can only be worn by officials of the third rank and above in the imperial court. There are no goods at all through ordinary channels, and these two silks were obtained through secret channels.

After confirming that there was no problem with the goods, Lin Yu asked Zhao Yu to send all of them to Qiyuefang to be made into high-end clothes. If Gu was making ordinary clothes, one piece of cloth could make six pieces, but if it was more high-end, he could make six pieces. Can only do four pieces.

32 horses can make 120 pieces of clothing. Of course, these are not sold at normal prices. Lin Yu plans to hold an exhibition of ancient costumes, but this time it will be held in the form of a museum.

In this way, the grade of ancient costumes has been raised again, and those that can enter the museum are all top quality, how can they not be worth 50 million pieces?

All the clothes this time are used for museum exhibitions. After the clothes shipped before are sold out, they will stop for a period of time to catch the appetite of those who think that buying them later will be cheaper. When they find that the ancient clothes are sold out, they will stop. Too late to regret.

This is called hunger marketing. If the supply is too sufficient, customers will not have such a high desire to buy.

Then he went to Hezhitang on the way, and Bai Qian excitedly told about the situation of Wu Liangyou Street today, which caused a sensation in most of Chang'an city.

You must know that Yirentang is well-known in Chang'an City, and Wu Liang is also well-known by everyone.

But Wu Liang's distressed appearance today really surprised everyone. At the same time, what is even more unexpected is that the true face of Yirentang, which has always been famous for saving lives, is to raise the price of medicines, take advantage of the opportunity to amass money, and seek huge profits from it.

As a result, Wu Liang, who was admired by everyone, became a street mouse that everyone shouted and beat. If the officers and soldiers hadn't stopped him, Yirentang would have been smashed by the angry crowd.

In addition, people also know that He Zhitang was misunderstood before, so today there are so many people here, most of them are not here to treat illnesses, but to apologize.

Who in this world is not sick?Since all the pharmacies in the east of Chang'an City except Hezhitang were annexed by Yirentang, the common people had no choice to see a doctor.

Now that Yirentang has collapsed, the Hezhitang family may dominate in the future. Those who used to treat Baiqi coldly must come and curry favor. Otherwise, if there is a headache or something in the future, where can they go for treatment?

If it is an acute illness, then run to the south of the city and the north of the city?Then I'm afraid my life will be dragged halfway.

After hearing this, Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction, this is what he wanted.

If you dare to bully him, you must have a certain level of consciousness, otherwise you will not know how to die.

As for Wu Liang fainted from kneeling from the northeast end of the city to the south central part of the city, he was still dragged by the Imperial Forest Army for the remaining half of the distance on horseback, and when he finally arrived at the execution ground, he was dragged to death without execution. However, in order to fulfill the emperor's order, he was still beheaded for public display.

When he returned to the Lin family's other courtyard, it was already late, and Lin Yu fell asleep. This night was the most peaceful and comfortable night for him these days.

When he opened his eyes, the sunlight outside the window had slanted on his body, which was warm and comfortable.

He didn't get up immediately, but lay on the bed with his arms under his pillow, staring blankly at the beam.

In one day yesterday, he solved all the problems in the Tang Dynasty recently. Zhang Weijing, Li Xiaogong, Hou Junji, Chen Shilong, Yi Jushi, Wu Liang, these people were regarded as Lin Yu's enemies in the Tang Dynasty.Now those who are imprisoned, those who are executed, can be regarded as revenge.

Without these troubles, Lin Yu can flex his muscles even more. Just selling some groceries is no longer enough to satisfy him.

And this time, from the incident of treating Qin Shubao, he discovered that Western medicine was absolutely popular in ancient times.

The ancient people pursued medicine to cure diseases, and what they wanted was a speed. As for its side effects, they never thought about it at all.And because ancient people never used western medicine at all, the effect of the medicine will be stronger than that of modern people.

If western medicine is cheaper, it will be impossible not to be popular.

So he made up his mind to open a western medicine pharmacy in Chang'an City. As for doctors... Bai Qian is good.

Also, Li Xiaogong has fallen, so Yichunyuan is a rootless duckweed, is it just a random thing to get it?But if you get it, what to do with it is a question worth thinking about.

Lin Yu made a rough plan for the future, and then got up to start immediately.

First, he found Yuchi Baolin and asked him to get the title deed of the empty courtyard, and build it into a temporary warehouse. From now on, Tang suits, medicinal materials, and drinks will all be stored here, and it will be convenient for him to transport, saving time. come and go.

Then when he was going to Qin Huaiyu's house to collect the Yichun Courtyard with him, Chang Sun Chong came. The latter first congratulated him, then took out the title deed of the Yichun Courtyard and handed it to Lin Yu.

"Brother, I was the little brother yesterday, I was not thinking carefully, please forgive me, I knew that the big brother took a fancy to the land of Yichunyuan, so I sent someone to fetch it, as an apology for you, please forgive me men."

Lin Yu sneered and said, "Third brother really has a heart. Why would I be angry with my brother? You know we are sworn brothers!"

He especially emphasized the tone when he said the word "worship", Chang Sun Chong was not stupid, he immediately understood that the other party was still dissatisfied, and then took out a stack of land deeds from his bosom,

"Brother, I know you need shops now, so I specially brought you the four shops of Yi Ren Tang and the four shops in the south of Chang'an City with excellent location. Please accept them."

Lin Yu glanced at him, reached out to take it, and stuffed it into his arms without looking at it.

"Well, since the fourth brother has said so, then I will accept it!"

"Brother is open and bright,"

Chang Sun Chong stretched out a thumb, then approached Lin Yu and asked in a low voice,

"Brother, can you tell me, how did you find out about the crimes committed by so many ministers?"

"Want to know?"

"miss you!"

Lin Yu hooked his fingers to him,

"Walls have ears, come closer, I'll tell you!"

Chang Sun Chong leaned his ear to Lin Yu's mouth with excitement,

Just listen to Lin Yu's soft voice

"Blind!"

"what?"

Chang Sun Chong was full of doubts, he smiled and said

"Brother was joking, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Lin Yu raised his chin,

"Believe it or not, you can guess the emperor's intentions? I told you as if you were a brother. I just need to keep my mouth shut. Otherwise... you will be at your own risk."

After speaking, he strode away, leaving behind a handsome back.

Chang Sun Chong stood there and hesitated for a while, then suddenly his face was frightened, and he said secretly, "It really is the emperor!"

Chapter 163, the widow of Yichun Courtyard

After this incident of Zhang Weijing's siege, Lin Yu no longer relaxed his vigilance as before. He knew that there were still many people in this world who wanted to assassinate him.

If he only cares about making money and forgets to coordinate his own power, it may reach a certain level, and even Li Shimin will look down on him.

Yi Jushi is a good example. Before he is paralyzed, it takes wind to catch wind and rain to rain.

From the civil and military officials to the Li people, they all respect him very much.

Even so, I don't know how many people wanted to kill this old man, and Li Shimin must have the greatest resentment among them.

He is a generation of emperors, how can he be on an equal footing with a bad old man?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so happy the moment he saw the paralyzed Yi Jushi, and sentenced him to death without even asking.

If one day Lin Yu reaches the point where he is as rich as an enemy, then Li Shimin or the future emperor will treat him like this.

But since you want to form your own forces, you can't make a big splash in Chang'an City.

Otherwise, under the emperor's feet, if you have a little misconduct, you may be secretly reported. At that time, it doesn't matter what your real purpose is, anyway, you will be arrested and tortured for a while, and you will have to say whatever you are asked to say.

"Qingzhou is rich and vast, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. It is a good place to develop business."

Lin Yu walked on the way to Yirentang and said secretly,

"However, if you want to develop power, you have to find someone who is more chaotic. What you want is troublesome people, otherwise it will be difficult to control."

After thinking about it, I suddenly clapped my hands,

"By the way, Qianzhou!"

He clenched his right fist on the palm of his left,

"There has been civil turmoil there for years, and it is almost a paradise for thieves. Even the officers and soldiers are unwilling to manage it. The people inside are even more free to do whatever they want."

These are all recorded in the history books, so Lin Yu can almost think of the reason why Li Shimin sent Li Chengqian there.

Li Shimin intends to train these two sons, but both are excellent, and it is really not easy to choose the one who will inherit the throne from them.

So he must be thinking of letting one of them go to Qianzhou, which is known for its chaos. As long as it can manage Qianzhou properly, then it is logical to choose him as emperor.

One is to demonstrate the ability to govern the country, so that chaotic places can be governed, let alone Datang, which is almost in peace and tranquility.

The second is to block the mouths of those ministers, so as to save them from talking nonsense, it is estimated that Li Shimin's ears will grow calluses.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu patted his head angrily,
