"Not to mention, how much salt can people eat in a month? People in the world should eat salt!"
"Should!!"
Shangguan Haitang said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Is that so?
I see!
Process!
technology!
They looked at me and I looked at you, and no one was speechless.
Absolutely amazing!
It’s really amazing. How did His Highness King Chu’s brain grow? Such methods can be found.
Oh My God! !
As giants in the court, they clearly understand the significance of this technology to the people. If it is really as Shangguan Haitang said, then the people of the world will have a complete carnival, and they will also usher in a great progress.
The living standards of the people have also drastically improved! !
I have to admire it!
"Gudong..."
Li Shimin swallowed.
"That's it, that's it, Miss Haitang, Kuan'er..."
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful! If this is the case, I really want to thank the King of Chu and you on behalf of the people of the world."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"Yes, you brat Kuan'er, Miss Haitang, tell me how much private money you have left? I don't know."
Queen Changsun was also shocked.
She stared at Shangguan Haitang, really wanting to see how much the guards around her son knew about him.
"Empress, hey, your highness's private money..."
"His Highness said he couldn't reveal it, but you will know when the time comes. Your Highness will reveal it bit by bit, making the Tang Dynasty different from previous dynasties, completely different!"
When Shangguan Haitang said this, his eyes were like stars.
Queen Changsun looked at it quietly, smiling softly, infinitely proud.
Kuan'er, this is really my Qilin'er.
He is really the prosperous Lord that the Tang Dynasty should have!
This is the time to lead this great country!
Li Shimin was next to him, and he was extremely envious.
Grandma’s!
Why can't Kuan'er share his brain with me?
But...it doesn't matter.
After all, I can't live as long as Kuan'er.
I really don’t know where Datang will go under Kuan’er’s influence.
It must be a prosperous age that I have never seen before, and it has never been recorded in books!
"Miss Haitang, I don't know why King Chu didn't come back this time."
"I, Datang, what is the best way to go?"
Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Shangguan Haitang.
What's next for Datang?
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and other ministers all understood that the direction of His Highness the King of Chu was most likely the future direction of the Tang Dynasty.
Datang, where exactly is it going?
They really can't remember it.
However, it is definitely not like now, taking it easy and repeating the drama of previous dynasties.
Everyone is very clear about their abilities.
To be honest, they have sacrificed a lot over the years, but the Tang Dynasty...the world...and this court...
Nothing much has changed.
Everyone said that Li Jingcheng, Jin Qinqiong and other warriors were fierce.
But if you are strong, can you be stronger than Bai Qimengtian? Can he be stronger than Wei Qing and Huo Qubing? Can it be compared to Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and Zhou Yu?
Everyone said that Fang's plans were unstoppable, and that the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was extremely wise.
But, can they compare to Xiao and Zhang Liang? There are many people like them in the past dynasties.
But what's the result?
As everyone knows.
Throughout the ages, reincarnation continues.
It seems that he has never jumped out of a strange circle.
If it were not His Highness the King of Chu, if they continued, they would only be reshaping some of the prosperous times in the past. Then, at a certain stage, the Tang Dynasty would decline and enter the cycle of reincarnation again.
But, what now?
The King of Chu is here!
Your Highness is here!
The way of His Royal Highness the King of Chu!
In the direction of His Highness King Chu, they always have a feeling that they can definitely break out of this vicious circle and find a new path.
This is absolutely! !
This has already left them far behind!
Countless eyes looked at Shangguan Haitang.
I want to know the answer from Li Kuan's guard.
Shangguan Haitang smiled softly.
He took a sip of tea.
"Your Majesty, and your Majesty, Your Highness has arranged all these matters."
"But right now, Your Highness has more important things to do."
A major event that requires eradicating a powerful enemy!
However, Shangguan Haitang did not say this. His Highness had ordered that it was best not to worry His Majesty, Xiao Sizi and the others.
.
…….…….….….
One month later.
All rebellious officials and traitors who participated in the rebellion were executed.
The Tang Dynasty has ushered in a new moment, the court is the official voice of the Li family's royal family!
The court hall was peaceful, but in the market, Shen Lian looked depressed.
Lost it!
Yuheng, and his granddaughter!
Recently, he was investigating a case. He was originally going to catch Yu Heng's tail, but he was still able to escape in the end.
Your Highness, he went back to the north and relied on the things from the snow mountains to fight against the Fanyang Lu family, while he was responsible for Yuheng, one of the seven stars.
I thought the progress would be faster than His Highness, but I didn't expect that I was still run away and lost many brothers.
"This Yu Heng is worthy of being someone who has been able to work with His Highness."
Shen Lian sighed, and then ordered Jin Yiwei: "Immediately go and get the files on the Taiji Guan case a month ago, and then go to the Ministry of Rites to check the situation of the Taoist priests registered by Taiji Guan in the Ministry of Rites a month ago, and then compare the files and see Before and after that case, did the number of Taoist priests in Taiji Temple change? At the same time, we searched for the Taoist priests in Taiji Temple who were still alive, and asked if there was anything unusual about Wu Yazi at that time, and which Taoist priest Wu Yazi had a good relationship with and often spent time together... "
Recently, due to the infinite prestige of the King of Chu, they can also use the power of the court.
When Jin Yiwei heard this, his eyes flashed and he said, "Sir, could it be that..."
The corners of Shen Lian's mouth raised slightly: "I caught Yu Heng before, but he was a puppet. It seems incredible, but there are traces. I checked this time. If you want to turn a person into a puppet, you must do it yourself. That’s right, so if my prediction is good, maybe Yu Heng was in Tai Chi Temple when the case happened a month ago!”
"Check carefully, maybe Yu Heng's veil will be pulled away!"
"Yes! Sir!" Jin Yiwei immediately nodded excitedly and left quickly.
Shen Lian let out a breath of turbid air, and the black eyes in his eyes shone brightly.
Are there other secrets hidden in the cases that I have already investigated?
If there really is a secret, being able to hide it from him during his first investigation is really not a weak skill.
But Shen Lian is not ashamed, or feels that he is incompetent... After all, the case a month ago has passed, and what can be found now is very limited.
No matter how deep Yu Heng is hidden, Shen Lian will dig him out bit by bit.
"Yu Heng, this gift you gave is really big. Why... do you think that even if you tell me that Wu Yazi is the direction of investigation in this last case, I won't be able to find you? Or, Do you think you’ve erased all the clues and traces?”
Shen Lian's eyes flickered, full of energy as never before.
"grown ups."
At this moment, a guard in royal robes suddenly came over and said, "Sir, there is an order from the palace, asking you to enter the palace immediately to face the saint."
"Enter the palace?"
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.
Who is looking for you?
He thought to no avail, so he nodded: "Let's go into the palace."
After entering the palace, someone from the palace took Shen Lian to the Taiji Palace, and a guard said: "Commander Shen, Your Majesty has an order. Commander Shen has arrived. No notification is needed, you can enter directly."
Shen Lian nodded, not surprised by this.
He thanked the guard and quickly entered.
Entering the Tai Chi Palace, he found that Li Shimin was the only one in the entire Tai Chi Palace.
Today, he is not wearing a dragon robe, but a simple black suit, and his back looks majestic and lonely.
this…….
Is this the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty?
Shen Lian took a deep breath. This was the first time he saw the number one person in the world, and it was inevitable that he had some complicated emotions.
"I have met your Majesty." Shen Lian bowed slightly, neither humble nor overbearing, and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin turned around when he heard the sound.
He looked at Shen Lian with an indescribable charm in his eyes.
After a while.
His eyes were soft and his lips were smiling.
He smiled and said: "Hahaha, I have long heard that Commander Shen is a young, promising, handsome and handsome man who is a great general under my son Li Kuan. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true as rumored."
The words fell.
After receiving such comments from Li Shimin, Shen Lian didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Get on your own, there's no need to be polite." Li Shimin continued.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all,
Shen Lian felt a little uncomfortable facing Li Shimin. How can I put it... It was the discomfort that a small person felt when meeting a big shot.
He got straight to the point and asked directly: "Ahem, Your Majesty summoned his subordinates, but what happened?"
When it came to business, Li Shimin's expression turned grim, he nodded slightly, and didn't hide anything.
After all, he called Shen Lian here because it was really urgent, so he called Shen Lian, whom he had never interacted with before.
"I asked you to come over. I have something to tell you."
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly became serious. He looked at Shen Lian and said, "It's all nations who want to come to court..."
Inside Tai Chi Palace.
"All nations come to court?"
When Shen Lian heard Li Shimin's words, he couldn't help but be surprised.
He came from the Ming Dynasty, so he knew the history of the Tang Dynasty at this time.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty was far from its most prosperous period in history.
Tuyuhun has not yet been destroyed.
Tubo is still jumping around, constantly threatening the north of the Tang Dynasty.
During this period, the Tang Dynasty had not reached the stage where it could frighten other countries and make them bow their heads. So...how could all the countries come to court at this time?
Shen Lian looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, what is going on?"
Li Shimin didn't hesitate, after all, this was the most important thing for him to recruit Shen Lianlai.
He said: "In the past few days, I have received letters from many countries. Nanzhao, Dashi, Tiele, Persia, Bolu, Tubo and other countries have all sent letters, hoping to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty. Let me, the Tang Dynasty, discuss the world's major affairs together."
"I have also checked the time they requested to send envoys. If there are no delays on the way, the envoys from these countries will arrive in Chang'an almost at the same time within three days."
"This matter is a bit too coincidental. It would be fine if there are only one or two countries, but dozens of countries send letters almost at the same time and arrive almost at the same time, which is a bit problematic."
Li Shimin looked at Shen Lian and said, "Commander Shen, I originally wanted to ask Kuan'er what he thought about this matter, so I went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion yesterday and asked the old man to bring a letter to Kuan'er."
"Kuan'er replied to the letter today. He asked you to preside over this coming of all nations! Although I am confused, Kuan'er has always been impeccable in his work, and he has saved me from crises in the Tang Dynasty several times."
"So I came to you because I want to hear what Kuan'er has to say and ask for your advice. Do you think your countries are a coincidence or have some conspiracy? Should we agree to their mission?"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly.
He understood what Your Majesty meant. The foreign countries that His Majesty said wanted to come to court were different from the foreign countries that he imagined coming to court.
"Your Majesty" means "His Majesty" in a purely literal sense, not what he imagined. The Tang Dynasty was respectfully called Tian Khan.
And His Highness asked himself to handle this matter, is it... that there is a figure of the Big Dipper in it?
He thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, I never believe in coincidences. In my opinion, the so-called coincidences are just people making some efforts in places we don't know about. It's just the information we have." Not much, so it feels like a coincidence.”
"Not to mention this time, there are dozens of countries by coincidence."
Li Shimin's eyes moved and he said: "Commander Shen, what do you mean...that there is some contact or collusion between them?"
"Some of these countries have always been in a state of hostility, just like we had with the Turks before the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible for them to cooperate closely, so I think..."
Shen Lian paused for a moment and continued calmly: "Some countries definitely have their own plans, but some countries may just know something and don't want to miss this opportunity and want to join in the fun, so they also come together. .”
Shen Lian's words were a little harsh, but Li Shimin quickly understood.
Shen Lian made it very clear that some of these countries must be secretly united, but they just don't know what they want to do.
And there are also some countries who know through some channels that those countries want to do something, so they also join in the fun and come together. They may not be with those countries, but there is no doubt that if they have the opportunity to obtain They will never let go of some benefits.
Li Shimin frowned. He thought for a while, then looked at Shen Lian and said, "In this case, it means that no matter who it is, they have ulterior motives for me, Datang. If so... then you say, we still want to Do you agree with them coming here?"
Because it was the King of Chu's arrangement for Shen Lian to preside over it, Li Shimin valued Shen Lian very much.
Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth and said with a meaningful smile: "Why don't you let them come over?"
