Chapter 39: Lucky hit!
"I'm so relieved that Ke'er contributed such a wonderful strategy, what reward do you want?" This problem was solved by his son, and Li Shimin was in a good mood.
Li Ke was about to open his mouth when he suddenly thought of Li Yin. Although Li Yin said that he only wanted a reward, how could he, as the elder brother, take the credit of his younger brother? Look down, "I want to report to my father, this plan was actually thought up by my younger brother Li Yin, but Li Yin can't enter the court, so my son and his minister discussed this plan before offering it!"
"Li Yin?" Li Shimin was a little surprised, "Is this really the case?" ƒ𝚛e𝘦𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃𝘦𝑙. 𝒄o𝓂
"I dare not lie to my father. Yesterday, my son went to live in the Prince Liang's mansion temporarily. He remembered the problem left by his father and said it casually. Who would have thought that Li Yin immediately told his son this shocking method."
Li Shimin was as calm as water, but there were waves in his heart. He was half doubtful and half relieved. He was an emperor and also a father. Li Shimin had made progress, so he was naturally happy.
"Since that's the case, I will put this credit on Li Min's head." Li Shimin looked down at the officials, and saw a trace of strangeness on their faces, especially Li Chengqian and Li Tai, with complex expressions. Among the princes, plus Li Ke, these three princes have always been the most recognized by the courtiers, but the fourth prince died young, and the princes after the seventh prince are too young. Now only Li You and Li Yin are left as officials in the court, and these two The two princes are also the most troublesome for Li Shimin, one is with street gangsters all day long, and the other is a complete libertine.
The matter of waterlogging in Chang'an was resolved. In the early morning, Li Shimin discussed some government affairs with the officials. After the court, Li Shimin asked Huangmen's servant Wang Gui to go to Liang Wang's mansion to summon Li Yin into the palace.
Wang Gui's arrival surprised Li Yin a bit, after inquiring, he found out what had happened in the morning, and Li Yin had to accept orders to enter the palace.
"Did you come up with this idea?" In Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin asked Li Yin who was standing beside him while he was approving the memorial.
Li Ke had already sold him, so Li Min had no choice but to admit, "Yes, father and son are just talking casually!"
"Just saying it casually? Is it child's play for you to treat it as a major national event?" Li Shimin put down the memorial, "Since you proposed this method, you will solve the waterlogging in Chang'an. Tomorrow you will report to the Ministry of Industry and receive a worker from the Ministry of Industry Uiro's official position is dedicated to this matter."
The tone of Li Shimin and Li Yin's speech is completely the tone of a father disciplining his son. Although Li Yin has changed a bit, it is difficult to change his long-term image. The way is to let him do things.
"Father, but my son still has a lot of property to take care of..." Li Yin said, he didn't want to stay in the Ministry of Industry all day, he would be bored to death.
Li Shimin naturally understands that Li Yin is a master who can't stay still. Thinking that he still has the identity of a businessman, he said: "I just let you be responsible for the construction of underground pipelines, and you don't have to take care of other things."
Hearing this, Li Yin heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, father!"
Li Yin agreed to this matter, Li Shimin said: "Father once promised to reward those who solve the waterlogging in Chang'an, now you and Wang Gui go to the palace treasury to pick out three things you like."
"Yes, father!" Li Yin said happily, no matter what, he still made money, not counting as a reward, and the member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, is also a fat job.
Leaving Ganlu Hall, Li Yin followed Wang Gui around a few small paths and stopped at a place called Shenlong Temple. This Shenlong Temple was located in an independent courtyard. They all hold some precious items such as coral and glass.
"Your Highness, this is where the tribute is stored!" Wang Gui led Li Yin into the hall.
The space in the Dragon Hall is very large, thousands of square meters, and there are many wooden frames. These wooden frames are neatly arranged, and they are filled with various treasures, red corals, gems, wood carvings, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
Li Yin was dumbfounded. He turned around in the treasury and was almost dazzled. After thinking about it, he finally picked a red coral with a height of one meter and two night pearls the size of fists. In Li Yin's opinion, it could reach twenty Only the things that can be exchanged for money in the first century are worth his money.
After choosing the reward and coming out of the Dragon Palace, Li Yin bowed his hands to Wang Gui and was about to leave. At this moment, a strangely shaped stone was placed at the door, which caught Li Yin's attention.
"Wang Shilang, this stone is so ordinary, why is it placed here?" Li Yin asked casually.
Wang Gui laughed and said, "This stone was brought by the envoys of the Pyu Kingdom thousands of miles away as a tribute to His Majesty. Your Majesty thought the stone was vulgar and ugly, and he didn't want the envoys of the Pyu Kingdom to lose face. You can enter the imperial palace, but you are not allowed to enter the Dragon Palace, what kind of treasures can a small barbarian country like Pyu have!"
"Pyu country?" Isn't this Myanmar? Li Yin thought to himself and said, "Could it be that the envoy of the Pyu Kingdom didn't mention the special features of this stone?"
"I did talk a little bit, but the envoy of the Pyu Kingdom said that this stone looks like ordinary stones, but the inside is a green stone, which is very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is still a stone, which is not worth mentioning." Gui shook his head.
Wang Gui's description made Li Yin's heart beat violently. He walked over quickly and walked around the huge stone. At a raised place at the bottom of the stone, he saw emerald green exposed. That's right, this stone is actually a rough emerald.
During the Tang Dynasty, jadeite was not yet accepted by the people at that time. It is normal for Li Shimin not to regard it as a treasure, but for Li Yin, it is absolutely priceless.
"Wang Shilang, please put this night pearl back into the treasury, and give me this stone!" Li Yin said.
Wang Gui asked strangely: "Your Highness, why do you want this broken stone?"
Li Yin laughed and said, "I prefer to collect this kind of stone, and I also ask Wang Shilang to send someone to transport this stone to my house." After speaking, Li Yin stuffed another night pearl into Wang Gui's hand, "This is the cost of transportation."
Wang Gui was surprised, "Your Highness, how can this happen, I will send someone to send it."
"Wang Shilang don't have to refuse, how can I let you work for nothing!" Li Yin said righteous words.
Leaving the Tai Chi Palace, Li Yin's mouth was crooked. He picked up such a treasure for nothing. Thinking of the high price of jade in the 20th century, Li Yin's eyes suddenly flew up. To be honest, Li Yin has been saving money now. It's expensive, and I haven't bought any luxury goods. If I sell such a large piece of jade, Li Yin's waist will be straighter.
Li Yin's bribery to Wang Gui was still useful. He entered the palace with his front foot, and the rough jade stone arrived at the back. Li Yin asked the servants of the palace to carry the rough stone three meters high into the apse, and ordered no one to enter the place where the rough jade stone was placed. Room.
As night fell, Li Yin entered the apse, put the rough emerald stone into the ring, and disappeared in the palace.
