After offending all the princes

In the study room of King Yan's Mansion, Xie Chun changed his pen and wrote two lines of poems on the scroll: "The clouds think about the clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows the threshold of Revlon."

This is a poem that Xuanhe blurted out on the imperial concubine's birthday when he was nine years old, but the person in Xie Chun's painting is not the imperial concubine, but Xuanhe.Under the moonlight, a young man in red was carried in a small boat, holding a fishing rod, with a wicker hanging under the fishing rod, and the water surface under the wicker was rippled.

When the painting was almost dry, Xie Chun put the scroll in a cool place away from light to dry quietly.

When Kong Ming came in, he was used to seeing the three scrolls lined up here and there. The prince still learned this painting from his father with him, but he learned it much better than him.

He brought good news today: "Our caravan has entered Beijing."

King Yan's Mansion has been trading with the north by virtue of its favorable location, and now it brings a large number of treasures from the Western Regions to the capital to sell the goods, and to discuss future cooperation.

"These things are always up to you to decide, and you can figure it out."

The most suitable store for cooperation, Kong Ming has already been optimistic about it. It is a store called Kaiyuan Grocery. There is a wide variety of everything.

"The largest grocery store in central Beijing is Kaiyuan Grocery, but the owner behind this grocery store is unknown..."

No matter who it is, it is not easy to open such a large shop in Beijing.As for who it is, he actually has some guesses, but this is not in line with that person's style.

"When was the first shop opened?"

"three years ago."

The shop that turned out to be three years ago has now opened branches in the four busiest streets in the capital, and the people in the capital are used to it. Fortunately, this grocery store does not live alone.The items in the shop are of high quality, and the guys in the shop are considerate in their service, but correspondingly, the price of the goods in the shop is half to ten percent more expensive than other places.

Who else could there be besides Ah He?

Xie Chun reassured him: "You go and talk about it."

After a while, Zhao Cheng said again that King Baojun had gone to King Zhao's mansion.

Kong Ming was anxious for the prince, why did he offend people like that at the beginning, and coax the prince well, is it too much money to burn his hands?In the current situation, the county prince is afraid that he is going to board someone else's boat.

"Among the items brought back by the caravan this time, there are many rare treasures that are not commonly seen in the capital. Why don't you send them to the county prince?"

How much to save the goodwill.

Xie Chun nodded, Kong Ming was overjoyed: "Your subordinate will send it tomorrow."

"No, if you send it tomorrow, the cooperation will be out of the question. Ahe's birthday will be in a few days, so send it along with the birthday gift."

Xie Chun naturally knew what Kong Ming thought, and he wasn't worried about it. Ah He had a clear love and hate, and now he doesn't like him, so he doesn't help him, but he won't help the third child either.

To this day, I still don’t know what I saw on the tree back then, and I cried so pitifully.

In the future, he will protect him, but now, it is better to help Mingzhe protect himself.

If Xuanhe didn't help Xie Run, Xie Run would probably come to him, which was just right.

Xuanhe refused to join forces with the third child. If he wanted to deal with the second child, he had to find someone else. The sixth child was on his side, but the Princess Mansion behind him made it clear that he didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Now, Lao Qi is the best choice, and by the way, let's take a look at why Brother Xuan thinks so highly of him.

Xie Chun waited at the mansion for three days, and finally waited for Xie Run.

Originally, Xie Run came here to find out what Lao Qi meant, and if possible, he would cooperate once. Xie Chun had just returned to Beijing, and he didn't expect Xie Chun to be of much help.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chun responded directly, and put forward his request very bluntly.

"I want to investigate the case of the grain and grass fire in Lanzhou."

Such a big case, of course, has been filed in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Back then, Mr. Bai committed suicide in fear of crime for a long time when the food and grass caught fire. Xie Run was a few years older than Xie Chun, and he was in the capital, so he knew something about it.

The fire was indeed strange, but in the end the case ended with Lord Xiaobai being imprisoned. Since the emperor meant it this way, there were no obvious doubts about the case, so the matter passed like this.

It's just that several adults who stood up and spoke for Master Bai were released one after another. Master Kong even invited him to Liangzhou directly, and the emperor allowed him in a fit of anger.

Now that Xie Chun mentioned this matter, is he trying to reverse the case for Master Bai?

This is also normal, Xie Chun was only fourteen when he went to Liangzhou, and Lord Kong is a close friend of Lord Bai, so it would be normal if he was entrusted by him.

However, talking about cooperation is the same as talking about business. Xie Run pays back the money without asking for a high price. Xie Run has a modest smile on his face: "Seventh brother doesn't know something.

"Back then, Duke Li was stationed in Lanzhou for more than ten years, and now Lanzhou is guarded by Duke Li's family. Anyone who goes to Liangzhou will not be able to deduct food, grass, and military salaries."

Xie Run was taken aback. He was not a person who didn't know the importance, so he naturally knew the importance of the stability of the frontier, but he really didn't expect that there would be people who would dare to act like this in this bright world.

Not to mention that this matter also involves Duke Li, if it is used properly, the second child's greatest reliance can be removed, that is, it has nothing to do with the battle for the reserve position, only relying on his surname and the blood on his body, thank you Run wouldn't pretend that he didn't know.

Xie Run left in a hurry: "Send someone to send the results within three days."

What Xie Chun didn't say was that the military salary was paid by his Prince Yan's mansion. After the grain was deducted and the grain grown by the military households, it was still enough for the soldiers to eat. The current minister of the Ministry of War is not Li Guogong, but a confidant who was handpicked by the emperor. , Why is it so thoughtful to leave a loophole for the gang of mice to be greedy.

Does the emperor really not know?

The power of Dayong is strong, but the current Li Guogong, General Zhou at that time, after regaining the thirteen states, has been fighting with the Hu people in Lanzhou for more than ten years. After Liao Wei, General Wei was in a hurry all the way, regaining Dayong's last lost ground in three big battles in two years.

If these things are carefully considered, they will be a bit subtle.

No matter what Xie Chun's original intention was, since this matter involved Duke Li, Xie Run's visit today was not in vain. It was a coincidence, but their goals were the same.

Xie Run flipped through the catalog and suddenly stopped, then smiled and said to himself: "I underestimated him."

He realized later that Xie Chun was going to investigate this matter, even if he didn't go, Xie Chun would come to him, but he couldn't hold his breath.

Xuanhe met someone in Wanhualou today, Bao Kang, the person who took care of affairs on his behalf in Kaiyuan Grocery.Song Qian is responsible for all the business on the bright side, but open source groceries is one of his trump cards.

He didn't recover his memory at the time, and now he feels a bit mysterious to make such a decision. Unlike other shopkeepers, Xuanhe is very happy to meet Bao Kang, and reports on affairs once a month are also in this Wanhualou conduct.

This grocery store runs from north to south and east to west, and has its own supply channels. Along with the goods, news from south to north is also being transmitted. Where the disaster requires food, where the price of paper is high, Xuanhe knew it earlier than the imperial court. .

Today is not the time to report on affairs. Bao Kang came to see Xuanhe because he had a big deal to discuss with him.It's not that the number is large, but that the people who cooperate may not be easy.

It is not easy for people to do business with barbarians, this matter has to be decided by the big boss.

Listening to his report, Xuan He quietly rolled his eyes, who else could it be, the protagonist Xie Chun.Liangzhou and King Yan are blessed with a unique environment. He tried to open the Northwest trade route many times but failed for various reasons. This is a sleepy pillow.

Open source groceries are not listed under his name, there is no problem of face or shame, just take this opportunity to make him a fortune.

"You agree, they do have a wide range of routes in the north, but the value of the largest grocery store in the capital cannot be lowered."

Bao Kang stroked his mustache and smiled kindly: "I understand."

"When Song Qian comes back, you get together, I have some things to tell you to do."

"When Shopkeeper Song comes back, I'll go see him myself."

Although Bao Kang is in charge of grocery stores with branches all over the country, he doesn't run around like Song Qian, so they mainly see Song Qian when they meet.

"He'll be back soon."

"That's right, the birthday of Dadong's family is just around the corner." Bao Kang stood up and bowed and bowed: "I wish Dadong's family all the best in advance, such as Donghai and Nanshan..."

Xuanhe interrupted him: "It's almost done, it's only half a month away."

Bao Kang sat back in his seat: "You don't know something. I heard that colleagues in Jingzhong have prepared birthday gifts for you. Shopkeeper Song even went to Shuzhong in person."

Xuanhe's birthday, the shopkeepers under his hand naturally have to express it. The emperor's birthday is called the Longevity Festival. The whole country celebrates it, and the officials of each country have to present birthday gifts.

Xuanhe's birthday is a major event in the entire capital. On this day, all the shops where he gave out red envelopes during the Chinese New Year will celebrate him and launch different activities, and the Zhaixing Building will hold free seats for three days.

Xuanhe grew up in such a grand way since he was a child, this kind of scene couldn't be more common, but now thinking about it, it's a bit extravagant.

He's only in his twenties, and he's never heard of such a young man who is one year old.However, the preparations for this year are estimated to be ready, and it is not good to stop now, let's talk about it next year.

After Bao Kang finished talking with him, he went to other people's yards to hide from others, while Xuan He was still sitting with Su Wanqing, listening to her playing the piano, thinking about the current situation in Beijing.

After thinking about it, God Feitian burst out laughing. Just now Bao Kang said that Song Qian went to Sichuan to hunt for treasures for him. He somehow thought of the birth date outline in "Water Margin". I don't know if it is enough to qualify for the "Birthday Outline".

After a while, Xuanhe suppressed his smile again, thinking of Xie Chun.

They are two years apart in age, but their birthdays are only one day apart. Xie Chun is one day later than Xuanhe.On Xuanhe's birthday since he was a child, the emperor would order to distribute rewards. Usually, this was only done on the birthdays of the emperor, empress, queen mother, and prince.

The middle palace had been empty for many years, and the noble concubine was used to being modest, and she didn't want the emperor to celebrate her birthday like this, so the emperor made up for it on Xuanhe's birthday, so his birthday was also a celebration of the whole palace.

As for the serious prince Xie Chun, his birthday is always remembered only by a nanny who takes care of him in the palace.There is no shortage of court ladies and eunuchs in the Xianfu Palace, but there is no serious master standing on top, somewhat careless, and no one remembers the little master's birthday.

Meals from the Imperial Dining Room are delivered on time every day, but what is used to be brought is what to eat. Every time Mother Chen receives the reward silver, she has to find a way to ask someone to exchange it for noodles, and then cook a bowl of longevity for Xie Chun. noodle.

Xie Chun knew from an early age that he had a younger brother, and that his father would reward him with money on his birthday, and his mother would make noodles for him.
