Chapter 710 Suitable candidate

Dugu Xinyue was pregnant and could not sleep with her husband. She understood her husband's needs very well and let her husband sleep in the east courtyard that night when she came back.

That night, the two lingered until the fourth watch before falling asleep. Li Ye slept until dawn, stretched out his hand to touch the empty space, opened his eyes, and found that the beauty was no longer beside the pillow.

Normally, Yang Yuhuan would have made out with Li Ye before getting up, but not now, her mother-in-law is here!

The eldest sister usually doesn't care, but my mother-in-law probably won't allow her to do whatever she wants.

A maid cleaned up Li Ye and handed him a thick cotton robe. When Li Ye came to the dining hall, he saw his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting in the dining hall chatting!

Dugu Xinyue pulled her husband to sit beside her and said with a smile: "Husband, today we want to go to Dayun Temple to fulfill our wishes."

Li Ye couldn't bear to dampen their interest, pointed to the east and said with a smile: "The Taiqing Palace is right next door!"

"The Buddha is the Buddha, and the Tao is the Tao. My mother made her wish at Ci'en Temple, so of course she must go to the Buddhist temple to fulfill her wish."

When Li Ye mentioned Ci'en Temple, he suddenly thought of Aunt Mu. He quickly asked: "Mom, where is Aunt Mu?"

"Auntie is going to attend a Dharma ceremony at Baoen Temple in Nanzheng. She is a distinguished guest and cannot leave. She will leave later. She will probably arrive in Xiangyang tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Don't worry, she is in good health!"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and smiled: "How about I go with you?"

Dugu Xinyue immediately understood that her husband must have known about it. She quickly smiled and said: "If husband has something to do, just go and do it! Don't worry about us, we are protected by Aunt Gongsun, so we are very safe."

Li Ye thought for a while and said with a smile: "I will let my personal soldiers escort you forward!"

After breakfast, Li Ye got up and went to the official room. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also about to leave.

Pei Sanniang hugged her granddaughter and followed her two daughters-in-law into the carriage. She and her children sat on the other side and looked at the luxurious carriage. This was the first time she had ridden in this carriage after coming to Xiangyang. The interior was not luxurious at all.

It is inlaid with gold and silver, but it is very spacious and comfortable, with soft carpets, thick and soft backrests, a very practical small table, and especially the windows, which are actually made of transparent glass.

"Is this polished by crystal?"

"Yes!" Dugu Xinyue introduced: "My husband knows that we like to go shopping by car and close the windows in winter, so we asked someone to go to Haizhou to buy two large pieces of fine crystal and grind them into crystal windows."

Pei Sanniang sighed in frustration, "Hey! He has never been so filial to his mother?"

Yang Yuhuan covered her mouth and chuckled. She was fully moisturized by her husband last night, her skin was as white as grease, and she was in high spirits. This smile was so charming that even Pei Sanniang was stunned. She sighed in her heart. She was so beautiful that even she was a woman.

Everyone was excited, let alone a man. No wonder her son would go all the way to Sizhuyuan to rescue her.

Up to now, the disappearance of the imperial concubine is still a secret in the imperial court. Many people speculate that she was hidden by the emperor's golden house, including her husband Li Dai, who also believed that she was taken in by the emperor. She is the emperor's woman and the emperor's nominal mother. Of course, the emperor

Won't admit it.

But some people think that Gao Lishi arranged for her to escape. After all, the Yang family was all killed, and the imperial concubine would not have survived if she had not escaped. Perhaps the imperial concubine had already hid in a temple and became a monk.

The only person who knew about it was Chen Xuanli, but he didn't dare to say it. Even the emperor and the emperor would not be able to spare him.

Pei Sanniang sighed deeply in her heart, if one day the news got out that the imperial concubine was in her son's place, I really don't know what kind of uproar would be caused?

Fortunately, her son prepared a Taoist temple for her and registered her as a Taoist, so she could barely stop the world from talking about her!

At this time, Mrs. Gongsun got on the carriage with her sword and closed all the wooden window panels. The wooden window panels were very thick and covered with a layer of iron sheet, which could not be penetrated by a large yellow crossbow. The entire carriage was modified, no matter which direction,

Even the crossbow bolts cannot penetrate the carriage.

Two hundred elite cavalry were also following outside the carriage, escorting the carriage toward Dayun Temple.

Li Ye came to the official room and listened to reports from several senior officials. He kept Liu Yan.

Li Ye smiled and asked Liu Yan to sit down and said to him: "This time I brought back 6,000 large boxes of treasure from Chang'an. What do you think Liu Shijun should do with it?"

Liu Yan pondered for a moment and said: "It is the personal property of the Supreme Emperor. It is not owned by the imperial court. There is a line between state and private. Until this line is removed, we all think that they are His Highness's private property."

Liu Yan said it very artistically. He admitted that this was not the wealth of the government, but he hoped that Li Ye would take the initiative to hand over this wealth to him.

Li Ye nodded and smiled and said: "I don't own it for personal use, let's do it! Give the three million gold coins to the Jiedu Mansion treasury, treasure category, I will pick a small part of the essence, and give the rest to the treasury, how about it?"

"This is so embarrassing!"

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "This is actually my original intention. Of course, the wealth in the treasury will be used to support the army. I ask you to stay, but it is not just for this reason."

"Your Highness, please speak!"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "We have too many materials in the warehouse. I am considering selling them. Have you ever considered this issue?"

Liu Yan laughed and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about how to sell these inner treasures?"

"Any ideas?"

Liu Yan nodded, "Actually, the rich people in the world are mainly concentrated in two places, one is Chang'an and the other is Jiangnan, including Yangzhou. Chang'an is where the powerful and wealthy are, while Jiangnan is where the big businessmen are rich. These inner treasures,

The powerful want it but dare not ask for it, while the merchants in Jiangnan want it but cannot get it."

"What do you mean by your Majesty, to transport them to the south of the Yangtze River and sell them?"

"That's right. Selling a few million dollars, I don't think it's a big problem."

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "But we are not familiar with Jiangnan. If we can find a channel, we will get twice the result with half the effort."

Liu Yan smiled and said: "Bizhang also thinks about it this way. I know that there is such a person who is well-connected in Jiangnan and has also stayed in Chang'an. I wonder if His Highness is familiar with him?"

"who?"

Liu Yan said slowly: "Wang Yuanbao!"

Li Ye laughed, "I'm not familiar with him, but my brother is very familiar with him."

Li Ye immediately ordered the staff, "Invite Zhang Ping in!"

Of course Zhang Ping would not stay in Chang'an. He knew in his heart that the court would never tolerate him. How could a rogue leader enter the orthodox court and serve as an official? They would definitely find various reasons to remove or kill him and seek refuge in Anlu.

Mountains are the best reason.

Li Ye knew this very well. He would not leave his brother to a mean and unkind emperor like Li Heng, let alone face the insidious and vicious Li Fuguo.

Zhang Ping returned with the first group of troops that retreated to Xiangyang. Li Mi arranged a five-acre house for him and also sent people to Hanzhong to pick up Zhang Ping's parents, wife and children.

During this period, Zhang Ping has been helping in the army, and his official duties need to be arranged by Li Ye.

Today is Li Ye's first day in the official office, and Zhang Ping is also sitting outside waiting to be received.

Not long after, Zhang Ping was invited into the official room by his entourage. He bowed and said, "I'm sorry to see you, Your Highness!"

Li Ye smiled and asked Zhang Ping to sit down, "How about it, just get used to it!"

Zhang Ping said with a smile: "I feel that the climate, water and soil here are better than Chang'an in all aspects, and even better than Hanzhong. It is very moist. No wonder Liu Bei didn't want to leave when he came to Xiangyang."

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "Xiangyang is indeed very comfortable, but it has advantages and disadvantages. Putting aside this, do you still have contact with Wang Yuanbao and adoptive father Wang Xuanhai?"

Zhang Ping nodded, "They are in Jiangnan!"

"That's right. We have a large amount of treasures and treasures that we want to sell. There are many big businessmen in Jiangnan, but we don't know anyone."

Zhang Ping smiled and said: "I understand my humble position. I can let the Wang family be the matchmaker. They have been running Jiangnan for a long time and have a wide network of contacts."

"That's what I mean. I appoint you as the deputy envoy of the capital to assist Liu Shijun in properly handling this matter."

Zhang Ping nodded, "I will do my best to do this in my humble position and write to the head of the family immediately."

Li Ye winked at Liu Yan, who understood and stood up to leave.

Li Ye had previously promised to make Zhang Ping the governor of Xiangzhou, but in fact it was not realistic and Zhang Ping was not suitable. However, Li Ye wanted to give Zhang Ping an explanation and explain to him the reasons why he was not suitable.
