"Lu Aiqing, what you mean is that the merchant you found has a set of these glazed products, right?" Li Yuan had also calmed down at this time. Although he was very fond of the colorful glazed dragon, he He also knew that Lu Chen made this thing for himself to play with. As for the reason for saying this, Li Yuan knew very well.
Li Yuan naturally wanted to cooperate with Lu Chen. Lu Chen was obviously going to set a trap for those aristocratic families. As the beneficiary, he would definitely help out.
"As far as I know, the businessman does have a set of zodiac glazed products in his hands. Of course, there are many other tableware similar to these! But whether it is a complete set or not, I haven't seen it, so I don't dare to say anything!" Lu Chen said to him Li Yuan saluted, and then replied respectfully. What he said was like a person with a nose and eyes.
As soon as Lu Chen said this, the civil servants of the aristocratic families and several generals also became interested. Many of them even started to whisper, and at the same time they kept looking at the two boxes at Lu Chen's feet.
"Oh? In that case, if I pay for it, can Aiqing buy those glazed products?" Li Yuan stroked his beard and thought about it, then looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"This..." Lu Chen looked a little embarrassed and pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, that businessman also has business dealings with me, and I wanted to donate these treasures to Your Majesty, so he sold some to me. , As for the rest, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Lu Chen slowly shook his head, "But if His Majesty provides the money, I can give it a try!" Lu Chen raised his head and looked at Li Yuan and said, but there was some lack of confidence in his tone. appearance.
"Your Majesty! I have this report!" Just when Lu Chen finished speaking, Cui Minqian, the Huangmen's minister, stood up and walked to Lu Chen's side, saluting Li Yuan.
"What's wrong with Cui Aiqing?" Li Yuan asked, looking at Cui Minqian who was standing beside Lu Chen.
"Your Majesty, I think that if Your Majesty spends money to purchase such items, it would be like playing with things to lose one's ambition!" Cui Minqian looked at Li Yuan and said unceremoniously. To say that the atmosphere in the court at this time is still very open, even though he is sitting in such a posture. It made Lu Chen uncomfortable to dare, but at least these officials and ministers sat down to talk about things. Even if they directly accused the emperor face to face, it wouldn't be a big deal. I don't want to think about the following dynasties. If you dare to accuse the emperor face to face, the emperor can directly let him go. They dragged you out and beat you to death.
Therefore, Cui Minqian said what he said without politeness. As for whether he said it sincerely, it's hard to say.
Lu Chen secretly glanced at Cui Minqian. At this time, Cui Minqian looked serious. His expression seemed to say that all this was for His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty.
"What's more, such top-grade colored glaze must be worth a lot of money, and whether it's from the national treasury or internal funds, if you want to spend such a huge sum of money to purchase this thing, first of all, let's not talk about whether your Majesty is suspected of being willful, just talk about the cost. I'm afraid there won't be a small amount of money, but can the national treasury and your majesty's internal funds be able to afford such a huge sum of money?" Cui Minqian looked at Li Yuan and said seriously, "Furthermore, if your majesty behaves like this, will your ministers be disgraced? Are they trying to imitate you? I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" After Cui Minqian finished speaking, he bowed to Li Yuanshen and stopped talking.
In fact, Li Yuan was just saying something for the occasion. When the Tang Dynasty was first established, how much money could the national treasury and internal funds have? To put it bluntly, the food they eat now is all left over from the Sui Dynasty.
Let Li Yuan take out the money to buy such a thing? Even if he wants to buy it, he has to be able to come up with the money. Besides, others may not know where this thing came from, but how could Li Yuan not know it? Therefore, when Li Yuan said this, he hoped that someone would stand up. Refuting yourself is not the only way to get those people to take the bait.
"Cui Aiqing's words make sense. It's because I love this thing too much that I do this. Cui Aiqing is indeed a loyal and patriotic person, and he can always remind me!" Li Yuan looked at Cui Minqian and nodded, indicating that he accepted Cui Minqian's advice, " In this case, I will never mention the purchase of this thing again!" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for leaving the opportunity for others to buy!" Lu Chen saluted Li Yuan as if he was relieved, "Otherwise, Your Majesty might leave an image of someone who likes luxury!"
"Does Lu Aiqing have any other chapters to play?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"Return to Your Majesty! I have no official position and I am here just to present treasures to Your Majesty! I have no original work!" Lu Chen responded to Li Yuan, then turned to look at Zheng Shanguo, and then turned back directly. In his position, Lu Chen definitely stopped sitting cross-legged and sat down cross-legged.
Seeing Lu Chen return to his seat and sit down, Zheng Shanguo felt relieved. He was a little worried just now, not because of anything else, but because he was worried that Lu Chen would mention the "advance payment". Wang Gui and Wei Ting both However, he didn't give it and even said bad words to Lu Chen. If Lu Chen had just told this matter in front of Li Yuan, he would really have to think about how to explain it. Of course, the migration at home has been in full swing. Those miners' households.
Now seeing Lu Chen sitting cross-legged in his seat, Zheng Shanguo felt a little relieved. However, Zheng Shanguo was still very puzzled. Just now, it was a good opportunity for Lu Chen to ask for an "advance payment" from him, but Lu Chen actually gave up like this. Zheng Shanguo had to wonder if Lu Chen had other thoughts, so Zheng Shanguo fell into deep thought after taking a look at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen glanced at Zheng Shanguo and the officials of the aristocratic family, and the old god sat down in his seat, as if to express that he was now a quiet and beautiful man.
Lu Chen's sitting posture was naturally noticed by everyone, but no one was bothering about this matter at this time. Some officials from the aristocratic family were even thinking about how to come to Lu Chen to inquire about information and get some information. This kind of top-grade colored glaze can be given to the head of your family, and then you can enhance your voice within the family.
You know, even though they are all officials in the court, they are all officials of several grades, but in their own aristocratic families, their right to speak is really not high. Of course, these middle-aged officials, In the family, those who really have the say are the head family members and the elders of each house. If they can find such a rare treasure and give it back to the family head, their status in the family will definitely be much higher than it is now.
Therefore, many officials from aristocratic families who had not had any problems with Lu Chen couldn't help but look at Lu Chen, and after Lu Chen felt these looks, he smiled and nodded to them.
It is impossible to destroy all these aristocratic families. Lu Chen's original intention was to shoot the leading ones, first suppress the leading ones, and then support a few smaller ones, suppress, win over and support, and finally The purpose is to boil the frog in warm water to make the family wither.
What's more, in this era, in addition to the Five Surnames, Qiwang, and the Eight Great Families of Guanlong, there are also various aristocratic families, large and small. Lu Chen can't just clean up all these aristocratic families. Then Lu Chen will become the enemy of everyone in the world. Has it reached the point? I couldn't sleep well that night.
Therefore, Lu Chen smiled back at these family officials who looked at him with kind eyes.
"Brother Xian, Brother Yu, the way those people from aristocratic families look at you is not right!" Chai Shao also saw the way these officials from aristocratic families looked at Lu Chen and smiled in return, so in Lu Chen'er's eyes, Chai Shao Bian reminded me.
"Brother Chai, how can you be so wary of our guests!" Lu Chen said with a nonchalant smile.
As soon as Lu Chen said this, Chai Shao understood what Lu Chen meant. When he looked at those people, he suddenly felt that these people's heads had become bigger.
The rest were naturally the various reports of these officials, which basically reported on the affairs of various departments. Lu Chen felt drowsy after listening to it. After all, although Lu Chen had participated in many meetings in his previous life, they were all He was participating as a guard or something like that. As for what was said in the meeting, he didn't care. And now that he was participating in this morning meeting, he didn't need to concentrate on security matters. After hearing the detailed reports of these people, Lu Chen directly felt like he wanted to sleep.
He finally had the feeling of those participants in later generations who held this meeting and that meeting all day long.
The first word is "annoying". Lu Chen needs to report the big things that these people have done. You have to tell the emperor about things that you, as an official, can solve. Aren't you free! Lu Chen rolled his eyes at the official who reported the bullshit.
The second word was "sleepy", because these people always had to quote scriptures when talking, which made Lu Chen feel irritated and almost drowsy.
Finally, after nearly three hours of morning court, Lu Chen finally heard what Chang Bao shouted: "If you have a foundation, you will play early, but if you don't have a foundation, you will retreat from the court." Now Lu Chen heard Chang Bao's high-pitched voice. There is a feeling like the sound of nature.
Just as Lu Chen was about to get up, he was grabbed by Chai Shao, "Your Majesty hasn't left yet! He hasn't called for retreat yet!" Chai Shao reminded Lu Chen, then licked his lips in the direction of Li Yuan.
"Uh..." After Lu Chen heard Chang Bao shouting in a daze, he reflexively wanted to get up and leave. Fortunately, Chai Shao caught him, and Lu Chen woke up immediately and looked at Chai gratefully. Take a look.
"Retreat from the court!" Chang Bao sang loudly again and then helped Li Yuan to walk outside the Tai Chi Hall.
"Farewell Your Majesty!" Everyone stood up and saluted Li Yuan. Li Yuan left the Tai Chi Hall with the support of Chang Bao. As Li Yuan walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, several imperial guards from the palace came in and lifted up Lu Chen. The two boxes he brought quickly left Tai Chi Hall.
