I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Zhang Nuo naturally knew how inconvenient it was to drive at night these days, so he let Xingben leave directly, and he had to take care of Mr. Li who was coughing constantly.

Xingben was actually quite hungry at the moment, but he knew the matter was urgent, so he didn't have time to delay, so he went directly to the stable outside to lead the horse, then jumped up and rushed to Chang'an City.

He has a gold medal on him, so it is convenient to go in and out of the palace. When he comes out of Zhuangzi, he dare not rest and goes straight to the Ganlu Palace.

When Li Shimin heard the servant's report and let Xingben come in, he was already weathered, and his lips were cracked.

Li Shimin didn't even bother to talk to Xingben about the ceremony, so he asked directly,

"Xingben, go back to the city late at night, is there anything urgent?"

Xingben directly bowed and saluted, and said in a deep voice,

"Your Majesty, at the dinner just now, the head of the family told the Supreme Emperor that he would come to visit Li's mansion. The Supreme Emperor agreed, and specially asked the minister to come to report, and asked the servant to tell His Majesty that tomorrow, the morning will be over early so that the head of the family can be received!"

What the hell!

Li Shimin was shocked immediately, what is this?His father cheated on him!Why did shopkeeper Xiao Zhang come to the door?The most important thing is, where can he get a Li residence for his foster brother to visit?

No wonder Li Shimin panicked, although he knew that sooner or later his identity would definitely not be concealed, but he didn't expect it to come so soon, this drama has just reached a critical moment, and it is about to stage a highlight, you give me this one out?

Li Shimin was really flustered this time, looking at Xingben who was hanging his head silently in front of him, he said angrily,

"Xingben, please tell me carefully, why did the Supreme Emperor agree to it, and explain it to me carefully back and forth!"

Xingben came this time to tip off the news, so naturally he told all the things that happened just now without reservation.

Then Li Shimin was completely depressed, he probably knew what his father was thinking, this matter couldn't be avoided at all!

Even if he didn't come to visit tomorrow, maybe one day Zhang Nuo came to the city and pulled Xingben to say that he was going to visit his house. Could it be that Xingben said he didn't know?

Or maybe one day Zhang Nuo will visit his house and let him directly enter the palace?

It's not nonsense!

Li Shimin was completely depressed, how to arrange this!Li Shimin couldn't think of any good solution, so he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment and asked,

"Xingben, what good idea do you have?"

He didn't expect to hear any good ideas from Xingben, but Xingben said directly,

"Your Majesty, according to what I see, you are the emperor's relatives and merchants at the head of the family. Why don't you go directly to the Hejian County King. The County King is a member of His Majesty's clan, so you can discuss and arrange anything!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard the words, that's right, Hejian County King Li Xiaogong is indeed suitable for him, not to mention that Li Xiaogong is a well-known royal relative of the same clan, the key is that this identity is just right.

Although he said that he was a royal family member from shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, how could the real royal family member have no title or official position?

But if it wasn't for the royal family, and he couldn't explain his various means of doing whatever he wanted in the city, and now relying on Li Xiaogong's reputation, then everything would be easy to talk about.

Li Xiaogong was originally his cousin, and the grandfathers of both parties were brothers, so as Li Xiaogong's cousin, he could just build a small house next to the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County, wouldn't it be all right?

Chapter 214 Xingben's Suggestion

Although Li Shimin hasn't discussed it with Li Xiaogong yet, he thinks there won't be any problem, not to mention the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, just the same clan can't help but help.

Moreover, with Li Xiaogong as the county king standing in front of him as a cover, it will be more convenient to do anything in the future.

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more complacent he became. He looked at Xingben and said with a smile,

"Xingben, that's right. I've been with shopkeeper Xiao Zhang for a while, and my mind has become more flexible. You couldn't think of such an idea before. Tell me, what else do you want to remind me of!"

Xingben was naturally proud of being praised by Li Shimin, but it didn't show on his face. The previous experience of resigning because of His Majesty's assassination did make him a lot more stable. He thought carefully before saying,

"Your Majesty, since you are making friends with the head of the family as an ordinary person, not only will you have to come out tomorrow, but even the empress and the prince will have to be present!"

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat, what the hell!That's right, if someone else came to visit him in the palace, there was no reason why he had to go to the harem to visit the queen, let alone the prince.

But in ordinary people's homes, even the county king's, if there are important guests, Guanyin's maidservant, as the head of the house, must come out to receive the female guests, and Chengqian, as the eldest son, must also come out to meet the guests.

He has also been in the royal family for a long time, and he actually forgot about it just now, so he has to remind him, otherwise, when the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang comes to the door tomorrow, wouldn't it be all revealed!

But Li Shimin couldn't help but have a headache when he thought that even the queen and the prince would have to make troubles.

However, to do a full set of plays, I have already thought about doing this, so naturally there is no delay, Li Shimin immediately ordered,

"Xingben, I have merit in admonishing you, but it's not convenient to reward you for the time being. I've made a note of it. You can go to the Prince's Mansion of Hejian County and ask him to quickly arrange a house next to me. The servants and the like will never give up. His family will transfer, but remember to explain clearly in advance!"

"I'm going to discuss it with the queen right now, and I'll take people over there later!"

Xingben hurriedly reported,

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Chang'an City for a long time, and I have to go back to Zhuangzi later, otherwise the Supreme Emperor and Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang will not know where to go tomorrow, and I will have to lead the way! "

Li Shimin slapped his head, hey, he was dizzy from anxiety, he really had to report in advance, otherwise not only would his father not be able to find his family tomorrow, but even Li Xiaogong was his relative, he had to go back to Xingben tonight to inform Woolen cloth.

But now that this is a mess, it is necessary to arrange for a clever person who knows the key to tell Li Xiaogong first, otherwise it may be too late!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin waved to a servant next to him and confessed,

"You go with Xingben, listen carefully and understand. After Xingben arranges it, you just watch from the sidelines and try to arrange it according to my habits. I will go there later, understand?"

After the servant obeyed his orders and saluted, Li Shimin hurriedly said to Xingben,

"Xingben, you delay for a while, first take the servant to the Hejian Palace, explain the arrangement to Li Xiaogong, then leave the servant and leave the city immediately!"

Xing Ben hurriedly obeyed his orders and saluted, and then saw that Li Shimin had nothing else to say, so he hurried out with his servant.

Seeing that Xingben left according to the arrangement, Li Shimin couldn't stay any longer. He still had to make trouble tonight. He looked up and looked around. Li Shimin beckoned the waiter to come over, pointed to the wall and said,

"Remove this picture for me, and keep it carefully. I will take it away, as well as all the books on the shelf that I like to read on weekdays!"

He is also careful, Zhang Nuo wrote for him, he must take it to the study of "Li Mansion" and hang it, otherwise he would not be able to explain why his writing disappeared.

Seeing that the servant is already packing things, he is too lazy to waste time here, he has to go to the harem, the queen and the prince haven't ventilated yet, if these two people travel, they will have a lot of things, so tonight they will have to Arrangement is.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin hurriedly started walking towards the harem!

Xingben led the two servants and rode straight to the Hejian Palace. Anyway, with the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty, who would dare to stop him?

Not long after, we arrived at the Hejian Palace. It was almost the curfew time. Xingben was cold and hungry at this time. He ran from Zhuangzi to the palace on an empty stomach. He didn't even drink his saliva in the palace just now. , and now he was almost out of breath.

When he ran to the gate of the Hejian Prince's Mansion, Xingben didn't mean to be polite at all, he didn't have any time to delay, he just slammed the door loudly!

The door of the palace is not something that ordinary people can do. Those who have the most insight, not to mention anything else, who dare to smash the door of the palace in Hejian like this, are either out of their minds or have deep roots.

Quickly open the door and come over to ask questions.

"What is your business?"

Xingben was not polite to him, he directly held up the gold medal and said,

"It's Xingben who is next to His Majesty, you hurry up and inform the prince, and say that Xingben will come with His Majesty's word of mouth, there is something urgent to discuss!"

Menzi didn't know Xingben, but when he saw the gold medal, he understood that this was someone close to His Majesty, if there was something important to do, he just let him in, and while he went to the front hall to receive it, he hurriedly called someone to inform the prince.

When Li Xiaogong heard the report from his subordinates, he was puzzled for a long time. He naturally knew Xingben. The commander of the guards next to His Majesty recently heard that he got into trouble and was dismissed by His Majesty. , this person who came here in the name of His Majesty must be in a hurry.

Li Xiaogong hurriedly walked to the front hall to have a look, good guy, Xingben is really rude, he directly arranged for someone to bring all the food and drink, and he was just eating Haisai to fill his stomach.

Seeing Li Xiaogong approaching, Xingben swallowed a large piece of meat before cupping his hands and saying,

"My lord, the one who will offend you is because I haven't eaten for a long time today!"

Li Xiaogong could tell at a glance that the person following Xingben was the servant of the palace, so it seemed that His Majesty was looking for him urgently, so he quickly waved his hand,

"General Xingben, don't be polite. It's hard work for His Majesty. Which of the men in our army is not like this. If you haven't eaten enough, I will arrange someone to go!"

Xingben shook his head, poured another glass of wine into his mouth to suppress his stomach, and then said seriously,

"There's no time to delay, please ask the lord to step back, your majesty needs the lord's arrangement for important matters!"

With a wave of Li Xiaogong's hand, everyone quickly backed away, working in the palace, if they didn't have the eyesight, they would have died [-] times already!

Chapter 215 Li Xiaogong's Plan

Seeing that the idlers had left, Xingben quickly told what Li Shimin had told him. In order to let Li Xiaogong understand, he also briefly told all kinds of stories about Zhang Nuo.

Li Xiaogong was dumbfounded when he heard it, why does it sound like a fairy tale, can this damn believe it?

Not to mention the emperor's white dragon fish clothes go shopping and eat, but also have a good relationship with people?

Even Fang Du Erxiang is now a friend of the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang?The eldest grandson, the old fox, also admired it?

The point is that His Majesty has sworn brothers with different surnames?Did the Supreme Emperor simply move out of the city and live as a neighbor?

It's not that Li Xiaogong has little knowledge, it's mainly because there are too many things to complain about, and he can't bear it.

Moreover, even if His Majesty really knows such an expert, there is no need to make it like this, and he has to cooperate with him in acting?

He is not afraid of wasting time, Li Xiaogong has a lot of money, he wants to enjoy it all his life, there happens to be a house next to the palace that is vacant, and it can be vacated immediately.

But the point is, is it worth it to make such a fuss just for a white boy?

But looking at Xingben's solemn expression in front of him, and the covetous servant next to him, come on, don't smear the ink, let's get things done honestly according to His Majesty's request.

It's also a coincidence that His Majesty is his relative who has not been out of the fifth clothes, and he is also his cousin. Now it is not a lie to directly use this identity to associate with the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang.

And he just needs to vacate the house and arrange all the things needed in it. The other majesties will definitely bring them out from the palace, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Thinking of this, he directly waved at the housekeeper who was standing far away.

Even if the housekeeper stood far away, he was actually looking at this side all the time. He was an old man who followed Li Xiaogong, knowing that there were some things that he should not know.

However, there must always be a considerate waiter by the prince's side, that's why he kept watching, and now he saw that it was indeed the case.

Looking at the housekeeper standing in front of him, Li Xiaogong said directly,

"Qian Yuan, Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Prince will come over later and arrange for the house next door. You take people there now, tidy up the inside, and prepare all the utensils!"

The housekeeper Qian Yuan was stunned, let alone him, even Xingben and the servants at the side were stunned, didn't they mean that this matter should not be known, and just told the housekeeper directly.

Naturally, Li Xiaogong didn't act recklessly, he looked directly at Xingben and the servant and explained,

"Qian Yuan must know so that he can control his subordinates so as not to offend the holy driver. But later Qian Yuan will tell his subordinates that I gave the house next door to a cousin who is still close to His Majesty." Royal Merchant!"

"Don't underestimate these servants. Their mouths can reveal a lot of information if they are not careful. Instead of being mysterious and being speculated by others, it is better to cover up the truth and the falsehood!"

"With Qian Yuan taking care of him, no one will offend Sheng Jia, and after the servants learn about Qian Yuan's release, even if there are discussions, it doesn't matter if they see Sheng Jia!"

Xingben exchanged a glance with the servant from the palace, then cupped his hands and said,

"My lord is a great talent, but my ministers are not as good as me, but I still hope that my lord can control my servants more. Although your majesty is only borrowing the house to meet each other for the time being, no one knows what will happen in the future. I hope my lord will know!"

"Your majesty's preferences and habits, I don't know much about it. I will arrange it later with the servants. I have to rush back to the city. I will leave this matter to the prince!"

Li Xiaogong nodded, of course he knew this, he didn't stop Xingben from leaving, he got up and sent a few steps rather politely, it was for the sake of the commander of the guards around Li Shimin.

Then the housekeeper, Qian Yuan, hurried to the next door with the servants. Although the house was often cleaned, it was unoccupied and lacked a lot of things.

Li Xiaogong is very simple and clear, there is no time to buy what is missing right now, and he will move directly from the palace, let's put everything together first.

Qian Yuan took the order to go to work, while Li Xiaogong sat in the lobby and began to ponder.

As a courtier, you just count on the holy family to live. To put it bluntly, even your contributions to the sky can be wiped out. If you run into that stupid emperor, even if you are utterly loyal, as long as you get annoyed by the emperor, you can also work together. The decree will make you fly into ashes and annihilate you.

Why did he, Li Xiaogong, wantonly make money and become famous far and wide?

Doesn't it make sense to pretend to be a fool with Cheng Yaojin?

It's all to avoid suspicion, it's all to hide clumsiness!

They are servants of the dragon, especially military commanders, who are in charge of the military themselves. If they are still as deep-minded as Li Jing, then the current emperor will be jealous!

Therefore, Li Xiaogong was self-defiled from the very beginning, his greedy and lustful temperament was obvious at a glance, and he refused to change after repeated admonitions.

Because he knew that the more he was like this, the less trouble would happen to him. Anyway, His Majesty has put all the blame in his hands. At that time, His Majesty can pick out one or two to punish him at any time, and he is not afraid of them having other ideas.

Only people like Li Jing, who seem to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country without any desires, are afraid of your Majesty. After all, they are all ordinary people with mortal eyes. Why are you so unkind? Could it be that you have some big thoughts in your heart?

Therefore, these years Li Xiaogong and Cheng Yaojin, who have all kinds of problems, have been at ease in the court, and they are also free in the outside world. On the contrary, Li Jing, the first commander of the Tang Dynasty, always keeps his majesty at arm's length.

The difference between Li Xiaogong and Cheng Yaojin is that he is not only a general in command, he is also a royal family, and he is naturally close to the royal family, so his situation is naturally better than that of Cheng Yaojin.

However, who doesn't want to have a better impression of himself with the emperor, if he doesn't have the guts to rebel, and he doesn't have the life to be the emperor, then if he flatters the emperor, his lineage of Li Xiaogong can still live a long life and become rich and powerful.

In the past, I didn't know how to flatter him. After all, Li Xiaogong knew that His Majesty is not the kind of person who likes to flatter others. Flattery and simple flattery may be useful for a while, but actually it is useless at his level.

However, now that His Majesty is coming to live in his house, it is a good opportunity, especially since the two parties put aside the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, it is only a relationship between cousins, so it is only about family affection?

In this way, maybe he and His Majesty can really get closer!

Especially when Li Xiaogong looked back and thought, if His Majesty can do this for an outsider, then if he behaves well, at least he won't be too bad.

At the same time, Li Xiaogong suddenly felt that this mysterious shopkeeper Xiao Zhang seemed to be a celebrity, so he had to make friends with him.
