Don't be a prince

Li Dahai stood up as soon as Yan Liben who had just entered the door finished speaking. Although he was dizzy, the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed no matter what.

Arching his hands, Yan Liben breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, I have already explained the errand clearly. However, I would like to ask, what does Your Majesty want to do?"

Yan Liben's secret fire kiln produced a large number of glazed ornaments, and Li Chengqian smashed those ordinary ones. The more exaggerated the shape, the more he likes it.The two craftsmen that the emperor mixed into the fire kiln did not always act as spies. Even the simplest designs from them would be awed by their grace and luxury at first glance.

What a talent!

So Li Chengqian simply took the position of Yan Liben kiln director and handed it over to one of them.

Since the emperor's father thinks this is a vital department and wants to control it, then let him do it.

Patting Yan Liben on the back, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "This matter concerns outsiders, so it's okay to tell you."

Sitting on the chair, he poured Yan Liben a cup of tea, which flattered him.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Chengqian said: "Father wants to make money! Our goal is this flock of fat sheep in Chang'an. Father is very powerful. He is embarrassed to snatch the prey with Gu, so we have not yet set our sights on it." The fat sheep that entered the Tang Dynasty were even nobles of various ethnic groups. Gu just sent two caravans to Koryo and Western Turks, and the glazed wares they carried were of poor quality and defective products in order not to hit the market.

When Father Huang took over the fire kiln, you see, it would be strange if he didn't ruthlessly reach out and grab a handful of them back.How much can a lonely caravan carry?You know, after the beginning of spring, the imperial court will change the generals of the frontier defense! "

Yan Liben shuddered when he thought about the amount that the team going out of Beijing could carry.If so much colored glaze flows out, the wealth it will bring will be unimaginable.As for the army doing business, it is impossible, but it is not a big deal for the army to accompany Datang's caravan and help bring some things.

"I didn't expect His Majesty to be so cruel."

As soon as the words came out, Yan Liben immediately covered his mouth, for fear of being overheard.

Whether it is talking about the emperor behind his back, even the Duke of the state has to worry about it.

Li Chengqian sighed after glancing at Yan Liben, who was in a bow and snake.The emperor has nothing to do with Baiqisi, even this honest man was scared enough.

After drinking two cups of tea, Li Chengqian stood up, twisted his buttocks, and prepared to go back to Chang'an.

Although the fire kiln is under the control of the emperor's personnel, the research will not stop.Although the purest glass produced now has impurities and poor transparency, but if we start research so early, we can always research colorless and transparent glass.At that time, the windows of the college will be replaced with glass, which is better than paper.It also prevents me from having to learn that the East Palace has thin animal skins covering the windows, and is collectively reprimanded by the old gentlemen as a prodigal son.

The title of prodigal son is very good, at least, for the next period of time, I will be a prodigal son.

It is a strange thing that a prince who sells the royal treasure is not accused of being a royal prodigal son.

Chapter 184 Bo You Wei Zheng's Daughter-in-Law Smile

Time has entered October unknowingly. After the first snow in winter, everyone from the emperor to the local county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief.As long as there is snow, this year's locust plague is really frightening. There will be rain in summer and autumn, and snow in winter. It seems that next year finally there is no need to be wary.

Because the Wei River had frozen over, the construction of the college had to be stopped.In the Tang Dynasty, there was no ability to construct in winter.

The craftsmen who had been withdrawn from the construction site of the college were all packed into the auction house by Li Chengqian.Therefore, when the seats in the last row have exquisite carvings, the construction of the auction house will be considered complete.

On October [-]th, it was supposed to be a small court meeting, but the servants opened the palace gate and told the courtiers who were already waiting in front of the gate that the emperor was going to stop for a day.

If you don't go to court, officials will be reprimanded if they are late or something. If the emperor doesn't take the initiative to go to court, once or twice is nothing.The current one is very diligent, except for major events such as the death of important ministers, he never took the initiative to stop the court, which is new.

It's fine if he doesn't go to court for one day, but he still doesn't go to court the next day. Wei Zheng, who couldn't bear it, blew his beard and wanted to force his way into the palace to face the saint. If the emperor didn't give a reason, he would be impeached.

Giving things is giving things, so Wei Zheng was allowed to enter the palace.

Not long after, the old Weitou walked out helplessly, and was immediately surrounded by a group of people, asking the emperor what happened.

Not going to court for two consecutive days, the situation was weird, if something happened to the emperor, they had better prepare early.

"Let's go, let's go, Your Majesty is suffering from a headache from the prince's anger, and the pain is unbearable, so he can't go to court."

After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng waved his sleeves and prepared to go to the East Palace to see the situation.It was hard for him to imagine what the prince had done to make the emperor so angry.If it's a good thing, he doesn't mind helping a bunch of princes.

The East Palace is still in a peaceful atmosphere, and the academy cannot be put into use for the time being, so the eldest sons have returned to the Chongwen Hall.

The guys who are all demon kings at home don't dare to make any mistakes in the East Palace. The sound of reading aloud sounds extraordinarily comfortable.

"Duke Zheng has a lot of leisure today, so he didn't go to court and came to the East Palace."

Seeing Li Chengqian coming out of the entrance of Chongwen Hall, Wei Zheng smiled and said, "His Royal Highness learns very quickly, so I am not surprised that I don't have classes, but I heard that because of you, His Majesty was so angry that he couldn't even attend the court meeting. Yes, it really made the old man curious."

The old guy didn't mean to inquire about guilt at all, and even had a little gloat. He didn't have the slightest respect as a courtier, as if he would be very happy if the emperor was unlucky.

Knowing Wei Zheng's thoughts, Li Chengqian could only smile wryly and say, "Mr. Zheng guessed wrong this time. If we really want to talk about it, it's Gu who made the mistake. It's just about the college, and Gu can only make mistakes." ..

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian stepped forward and guided Wei Zheng to Chongren Hall.

The Chongren Hall in the East Palace has been turned into a warehouse since Li Chengqian lived in the East Palace, and people will only live in it when he grows up.

Walking up the steps of Chongren Hall, Wei Zheng asked, "What is it that deserves His Majesty's anger?"

Li Chengqian smiled but did not answer: "You will know after you come and have a look."

Chongren Hall's current guards are very strict. What makes Wei Zheng fall through the wat board is that there are guards holding bows and crossbows on both sides of the hall.

Under the order of the crown prince, the gate of Chongren Hall was opened.The moment the outside sun shone into Chongren Hall, the wat board in Wei Zheng's hand really fell to the ground.Fortunately, he used wood. If it was jade, it might break.

"Your Highness, which god did you rob?"

Although he thinks that there are no gods in this world, Wei Zheng almost spits out a mouthful of old blood when he sees the glazed vessels in Chongren Hall.Who doesn't dream of getting rich?But in his most absurd dream, such a scene never appeared.

"These glazed wares were all found in the secret room of the East Palace. They are probably the treasures of King Xi. The gold, jade and jewels can't be eaten by hunger, can't be drunk by thirst, and are useless. So I just want to sell them and use them for the academy Construction. However, the father disagrees, he thinks that these things should be stored in the treasury. I don’t want to listen, since this thing was found in the East Palace, it should be an orphan. Zheng Gong, what do you think?”

Li Chengqian was very curious, how would Wei Zheng treat such a large amount of wealth?

After a long time, Wei Zheng covered his eyes and ignored the treasures in the house.

After building the wat board on the ground, Wei Zheng sarcastically said: "Your Highness, what kind of tricks are you playing? What kind of tricks is Your Majesty playing? If someone else came over, I would have believed it, but the one who saw all this today is the old man. If you try to deceive , it will be a bit difficult!"

Li Chengqian asked curiously: "What is Wei Gong talking about? What do you mean Gu and Father Huang are acting?"

Wei Zheng sneered and said, "Your Majesty and Your Highness's trick seems to be the same, but in the eyes of the old man, it is too fake. Even if these glazed vessels are real, Your Majesty will never be angry with you. Heh, Your Highness is the Crown Prince. If His Majesty wants these glazed wares, why do you need to be angry? He has already snatched them. Hmph, now His Highness is pretending to protect the treasure, and His Majesty is pretending to be furious and hurting his body so that he won’t go to court early, you two rare smart people Acting with such painstaking efforts, I don't know who to cheat."

Hearing these remarks, Li Chengqian couldn't help giving Wei Zheng a thumbs up.The one who knows the emperor best is really Wei Zheng.After all, it was the human mirror. Even though he was stunned by the glassware in this room, he did not forget to think, and he guessed the truth with just a little thought.

"Zheng Gongmingjian, haha, Gu and Father Huang are indeed acting."

Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng was furious with a single sentence: "Fenghuo plays the princes, that is a stupid thing that King Zhou You can do. Now Your Majesty and His Highness are taking the courtiers as tricks, why did you come here? Don't you two also want to beautify the Queen or some beautiful woman?" smile?"

This makes me angry, even though Baosi is a hapless woman who has taken the blame, but you old man Wei actually compares my old lady with her, this is a shame!

"Bah! Make you Wei Zheng's daughter-in-law smile! Gu and father are so painstakingly determined to peel off the fat of those Hu merchants to subsidize my Tang's needs. Old Wei head, I want to impeach Gu and greet him, Shaote mother Splash dirty water on the queen mother!"

It's impossible not to be angry, if this matter really becomes a big issue, I'm afraid the queen will really have to come out and help the emperor take the blame.This is the role of the queen, or the woman next to the king.Anyway, if the king has no way, there will be witches to make troubles, and if the general is slack, he will definitely fall into love.There are many such cases in history, and every time Li Chengqian reads this, his stomach refluxes for a while.Push it on women when something goes wrong, they are a bunch of useless bastards.

Wei Zheng had already decided to get angry, but when he heard this sentence, he lost his anger.

Arching his hands, Wei Zheng asked with a lewd smile: "Your Highness, you and His Majesty are doing this to deal with these Hu merchants in Chang'an? Let me tell you earlier, take a look, this minister is considered an insider, and I will definitely help you." Keep it a secret, both of you, as for what the minister needs to do, you two just give me instructions."

The waist is bent, and the words are respectful. At this moment, Wei Zheng's body, the archaeologist's brush can't get a single milligram of the "human mirror" component.

Only then did Li Chengqian remember that Wei Zheng's idea has always been to be soft towards the inside and bully the outside with prestige, which is an alternative among civil servants.

He didn't care about Hu Shang's life or death. What he cared about was that the emperor and the crown prince reached out to them together.

Datang is a big country, so naturally it can't do such things as robbing foreign businessmen.But if it was commercial means that pried their pockets, then no one else could be blamed.

As for the crown prince scolding him, and his daughter-in-law being involved, in Wei Zheng's view, it was a trivial matter.

He didn't raise his hand to hit the smiling face, facing Wei Zheng's smiling face, Li Chengqian couldn't continue to be angry.

Pointing to the glazed wares in the room, Li Chengqian said weakly: "That's the thing, publicity to the outside world must be in place. Starting tomorrow, these glazed wares will be shipped to the auction house, and invitations will be released slowly. You If you are not the head of the censor, then take the lead in impeaching Gu, the more noise you impeach, the more curious others will be about Gu's affairs, and the louder your signs will be."

In fact, even if Wei Zheng didn't guess it, Li Chengqian was going to tell him the truth.Nothing can spread the news to the courtiers faster than the impeachment of the officials.

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "Naturally, this old man will go back and prepare this chapter, and impeach His Highness tomorrow."

Knowing that Hu Shang was going to be unlucky, Wei Zheng never stopped smiling.

The next day, the sky was fine.The section from the entrance of the East Palace to Pingkangfang was forcibly blocked by the prince so that the treasure could be sent to the auction site more safely.

It is estimated that human beings awakened the attribute of watching the excitement before they got down from the tree.Although the street was blocked, countless eyes were crowded outside the barricades on both sides of the road and at the windows facing the street, ready to see the excitement.

The convoy didn't officially start shipping until the sun rose.

It was not an ordinary carriage that transported the goods, but a criminal cart used by the Ministry of Criminal Justice to escort prisoners, that is, the kind of thing with iron fences fixed on it.With it, even if someone can approach, the car cannot be moved without unlocking it, right?

Fire kiln craftsmen like to design shapes for glazed wares when they are free. No matter what the shape is, they all have the same powerful ability, that is, reflection.So when the glassware transported by the convoy appeared on the street, it immediately caused a huge repercussions.

"My God! It turned out to be glazed wares! There are so many!"

"Look at that pot, it's almost blinding people's eyes."

"Fart, what is that pot? Look at the one on the carriage. What is that, Phoenix?"

"Turtle, that's a peacock!"

Pieces of glazed wares were sent to the auction house, and the protection ability of the auction house was even more perverted. A serious eight-ox crossbow stood on the high platform next to the warehouse. Everyone who saw it ran away, for fear of being stolen as a thief. .

Chapter 185 The Sky-high Fame

The officials believed that it was nothing to do with me, but the emperor was ill from the prince's anger, so he had to be impeached.

Each piece is made of high-quality glassware, and no one can bear it if it is placed on anyone's body.The prince has an academy to support him, not to mention that the East Palace found the things, and the right to dispose of them was handed over to the emperor. Beloved.

So, on the third day, when the emperor finally went to the court, the officials did not submit this chapter to the Ministry of Education, but simply submitted this chapter to the emperor in court, and impassionedly reprimanded the prince.

The emperor cherishes the crown prince, they are not afraid, not to mention impeaching the crown prince at this time is the right thing to do, it is not regarded as patting the emperor's horse, what will happen if such an opportunity is not impeached?

The people who know about it are Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, and even Changsun Wuji has been kept in the dark.

But even though Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng knew about it, they still had a lot of fun in the court hall, trying their best to ask the emperor to take away the glazed wares from the East Palace, half of which would go to the inner palace and half to the national treasury.Giving such a large amount of money to an underage child is simply nonsense!

Li Jing and Niu Jinda knew Li Chengqian relatively well, and they were still kept in the dark about what happened this time.Although he wanted to defend his apprentice with a few words, he really couldn't say anything!

So many glazed wares appear together, that is, gold is sold at the price of silver, which is not worth it!

The construction of the academy is indeed beneficial, but if so much money is used to fill the national treasury, then next year it will definitely be able to launch troops against the Eastern Turks, and the rewards after the victory will be very generous.As for the word "defeat", no one thought about it at all.

Couldn't take it anymore, even though he felt that the crown prince was not such a fool, Li Jing couldn't help appearing in court to agree with the civil servant's proposition.It doesn't have to be all, half of it is filled in the treasury, which is enough for them to celebrate.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been very few cases where the civil and military united front at the same time, but before the temptation of money, no matter how ordinary people are, they can't become ordinary.

Seeing the hard-working performance of the courtiers, Li Shimin on the throne was about to burst out laughing.

Of course there is money, this year only Guanzhong was affected by the disaster, and it did not affect the other nine states.Soon the tax revenues of various channels will be returned to Chang'an, and the treasury that has been accumulated for so long is enough to mobilize troops against the Eastern Turks.

If... Forget it, it would be too cruel to let a nine-year-old child go to the battlefield.

Although I suppressed my inner thoughts, the little signs still popped up from time to time.

almost.

When he saw that almost all the courtiers couldn't help playing, Li Shimin stretched out his hand to caress his eyes, and tears came down.

"I don't know how important this money is, but the crown prince is determined to complete the construction of the academy. Although our monarchs and ministers have an excuse to fill the treasury, those great scholars also have the dream of enlightening the world. Which is more important? I can't tell the difference at all. That's all, let the prince go! Since the prince has sent invitations to all your loves, you might as well go and have a look."

After finishing speaking, I will pass out.Remember in one second on the mobile phone → .B\\.\ provides you with wonderful novels to read.

Zhang Yun, who had been standing by the emperor's side, quickly reached out to support him, and shouted for the eunuch to carry the emperor away, and hurried to call the imperial doctor.

The emperor passed out, so he couldn't go to court.

Regarding the prince's misconduct, all the ministers were naturally filled with righteous indignation. When they first came out of the court, they unified their lines and vowed to make the prince look good!

It's just that when people walked out of the palace and entered their own carriage, they couldn't help rubbing their hands together.

As long as they are rich and powerful, they have the habit of collecting treasures.As the rarest treasure among them, Liuli is naturally a rare thing.In the past, I was too lazy to buy when I saw the shabby ones, and felt that I was losing money. When I encountered a good one, I either couldn’t buy it or couldn’t afford it.

It's all over now, the crown prince took all the colored glazes to the auction house in one go. There are so many colored glazes, and they are all high-quality goods, how could he get one.How beautiful it must be to play in the inner room when you have nothing to do, and the glass flickering under the candlelight!

There are many people who have this idea, but everyone has given up the idea of ​​buying it in person.It is difficult to support myself with salary, and now I am competing to bid for glazed wares.Didn't it blow up the whole family?

As for those who are tired of their treasures, they are even more happy. Although the prince was impeached in court, the family still received the so-called "auction manual" issued by the auction house.There is no need for the master to go out in person, just send a servant to register.[-]% of the money obtained will be allocated to them. As for who gets the money, unless there is a problem with the goods, the auction house will never pursue it.

In this way, wouldn't the bargaining chip be more abundant when selling the junk in one's own home and competing for glazed wares?

With different thoughts, many wealthy compound in Chang'an city are destined to have no sleep all night.

Li Dahai was about to fly, and his feet hadn't been idle for the past few days. He wished he could split his hands apart and use them as four envoys.There are a lot of things to do in the auction house, and it's not something he, a small shopkeeper, can handle.Just when he wanted to ask for help, the prince's help came over.

Lao Jin, the shopkeeper of Jinyu Pavilion, is the number one leader in the Jinyu antique industry in Chang'an. When he learned that his youngest son had the opportunity to study in the academy, he demolished his shop without hesitation, packed up the bedding and came to auction The shopkeeper.

There are businessmen on the left and right, and only doing things for the prince will make him look better.

With Lao Jin's joining, the auction house immediately became orderly.In the appraisal of treasures, no one in Manchang'an dared to say that he could surpass Lao Jin.At the same time, his reputation is also very strong, as long as it is something that has been personally appraised, the buyer will never have a second opinion.

Li Chengqian couldn't be more aware of the importance of appraisers.

If he is a little bit worse, he can also order Lao Jin to describe the rags as priceless treasures and the treasures as rags. The former earns a commission, and the latter buys them at a low price.Oh, make money at both ends!

But of course Li Chengqian would not do such a thing.
