Chapter 107: A good show! Good things for the Turks!
Li Yan accepted the order and resigned.
Li Shimin didn't look at him. Instead, he looked at the sky above his head and murmured: "Kuan'er, are you really going to be in that village?"
"Also, did my father's action of sending Jinwu Guards today help you? Or... did it cause you trouble?"
Li Shimin was really not sure what he meant by his second son.
All kinds of advanced items, as well as powerful subordinates, are even more powerful than he was back then.
Especially the disease in Changle.
Li Shimin sent people out to search most of the world, but there was no way. However, a housekeeper from the Chu Palace cured Changle easily.
It's hidden very deep.
How could Li Shimin see through such a King of Chu?
"Is it possible that I really want to change the next crown prince?!"
Li Shimin was a little wavering.
"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson is here to shoot them."
At this time, someone from the palace spoke up to give advice.
Li Shimin snapped out of his thoughts, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Let them come in."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the place where government affairs were handled.
soon.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui walked in one after another.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for me to wait?!"
Changsun Wuji asked as a representative.
"good."
Li Shimin nodded, looked at the three of them, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly said: "Three beloveds, it seems that it is almost time to give things to the Turks?!"
Um?!
Changsun Wuji and the other three quickly looked at Li Shimin.
But in the next breath, everyone realized what Li Shimin was talking about.
Alliance on the Wei River!
At that time, Li Shimin killed the white horse with his sword outside Chang'an City and signed the Weishui River Alliance with Jieli Khan.
Although it was an alliance, the Tang Dynasty had to unilaterally pay tribute to the Turks every year.
"Soon!!"
“It’s almost time!!”
"The Turks should be coming soon!!"
Du Ruhui said in a deep voice.
Every time a tribute is presented, someone from the Turks will come to watch it and select it within the Tang Dynasty. Only those they like will be taken away.
It can be said to be extremely domineering.
Li Shimin nodded, his eyes deep.
He turned his head and looked at the exquisite glass products next to him. Those glass products were sent to him by the old man. The people in the Chu Palace thought they were a bunch of worthless goods, but Li Shimin didn't think so, so he sent them to him.
Place them all in your own Tai Chi Palace.
】
Facts have proved that he did the right thing.
Many times before, when Changsun Wuji and other relatives came to report things to him, they would be attracted by these exquisite glass products and wanted to get some.
In order to create a sense of mystery for the glass products, Li Shimin did not say that they were all worthless goods, but instead made them look magical, making the glass products full of mystery in the eyes of Changsun Wuji and others.
Why did he do this?!
Is it because of pretense?
no.
He was testing the reaction of Changsun Wuji and others to see if they could see that the glass products were worthless. However, after this period of time passed, Changsun Wuji and others not only did not feel that the glass products were worthless, but instead felt that they were sacred objects.
Sometimes when Li Shimin is happy, he will mention how to get glass products. This is just a little trick.
Du Ruhui sent many rare treasures, and other relatives also sent things to express their loyalty. They only wanted to get a glass product, and the most exquisite one among them was Changsun Wuji.
In order to obtain a glass product, they even went to the Empress Changsun to blow air in Li Shimin's ears and intercede for him. This really made Li Shimin and his wife who knew the truth dumbfounded.
After so many days of testing, these ministers, who are accustomed to seeing rare treasures, didn't see any clues.
So…….
Give it to the Turks. With the eyes of the Turks, can you tell that the glass products are worthless?!
Li Shimin smiled slightly, he felt that this was impossible!!
"Since it's almost time to give things to the Turks, tell me what you would do if you gave them these glass products?!"
Li Shimin's eyes were burning.
I heard this.
Changsun Wuji and the three of them were all shocked.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this! This glass is a sacred object, how can you give it to the Turks!!"
"Yes, yes, although these glass products only have ornamental value, their ornamental value is extraordinary. Your Majesty, look at the real dragon glass product next to you. It is lifelike. This means that God regards you as true.
Dragon! That’s why you gave such a sacred object! And if you give this sacred object to the Turks, God may be angry! You must not do it!!”
Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui knelt down to persuade.
At this time, even Wei Zheng, who had always been incorruptible, couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Changsun Pushe and Prime Minister Du are right. This thing represents our destiny in the Tang Dynasty. It can shock thousands of foreigners who come to the Tang Dynasty."
Don’t give it to the Turks!!”
Hearing that Changsun Wuji and the three of them were so protective of glass products, Li Shimin smiled, very happily.
"This, Your Majesty, why are you..."
Changsun Wuji did not dare to continue talking.
But in my heart, I always feel that His Majesty does not pay much attention to these glass products.
The other two people also thought the same way.
"Hahaha, dear dears, it's really hard for you."
Li Shimin felt a little guilty.
Changsun Wuji said in confusion: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?!"
Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "The sacred glass products you talk about are actually... worthless."
Worthless!!!
Hearing this, Zhang, Sun Wuji and the other two people's eyes widened.
stunned!!
Shock!!
Unbelievable!!
They couldn't believe that what they had always believed to be a divine object was worthless in Li Shimin's words.
Li Shimin didn't wait for them to question, and said in advance: "These things all come from the palace of the King of Chu, and are the masterpieces of the King of Chu."
Prince Chu’s Mansion…….
Upon hearing this name, Changsun Wuji and the others hesitated.
There are really too many miracles created by the Prince of Chu's Palace. If this glass product came from the Prince of Chu's Palace, it might really be worthless.
Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Li Shimin continued to explain: "When I first saw these glass products, I was shocked. Later, after the housekeeper of the Chu Palace took me to see many things inside, I,
It suddenly dawned on me that anything that comes from the Chu Palace, even if it is extremely creative, may be worthless."
"And this glass product is one of them!!"
"Okay, there's no point in talking any more. Today you three will go with me to Prince Chu's Mansion. No matter how much you talk, it's not as good as seeing him in person."
"Let's go together. I've already contacted Prince Chu's Mansion."
Li Shimin stood up from his seat and was the first to walk out of Tai Chi Palace.
Changsun Wuji and the other three looked at each other in confusion, and then followed Li Shimin one after another.
………………
Chu Palace.
At a corner, Li Shimin and a little thing filled his arms.
"ah!!"
The little guy exclaimed, and that voice was Xiao Sizi.
At this time, Xiao Sizi bumped into Li Shimin's thigh and was hit with stars all over his head.
Li Shimin wanted to get angry, but when he saw it was his precious daughter, he was at a loss and squatted down and said: "Little Sizi, this, this, this, this, this, this, are you okay?"
"Father, did I hurt you?!"
While talking, he also helped his baby daughter rub her red head.
Changsun Wuji and the other three twitched at the corners of their mouths. Is this still the brave Li Shimin just now? How did he become a slave to his daughter?!
This change is too fast.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuori,Father! I hate you, I hate you so much! Why do you have to beat Si Zi when you have nothing to do?"
The little Sizi has a small mouth and wants to cry but has no tears.
Li Shimin put the little guy's head into his arms and said apologetically: "Okay, okay, okay, it's your father's fault that you are not angry."
"What do you want to eat tonight, Si Zi? My father asked the imperial kitchen to cook it for you."
delicious!!
Little Si Zi was about to cry, but his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said softly, "Hehe, Father, Si Zi wants to eat hot pot, so don't blame Father for eating hot pot."
this…….
Li Shimin was quite hesitant.
Hot pot, according to those in the Chu Prince's Mansion, is not suitable as a daily meal. Xiao Sizi is just growing up, so it is not suitable to eat too much hot pot.
Moreover, Empress Changsun, who was beside him, kept telling him that little Sizi couldn't eat too much hot pot. Sometimes she would catch little Sizi secretly going to the imperial dining room to look for hot pot, and she would be so angry.
can not eat.
but…….
Li Shimin looked at his baby daughter's expectant eyes again, and suddenly had an idea.
Go to hell!!
Breaking any rules is not as important as making my baby daughter happy!!
"OK!!"
"Xiao Sizi, my father promises you that I will take you to have hot pot later."
Li Shimin agreed very readily.
"Wow!!"
Xiao Sizi's eyes were bright and sparkling as he said: "Father is the best, long live father!"
After saying that, he hugged Li Shimin tightly with his two little hands and held him tightly.
Li Shimin suddenly laughed from ear to ear. Isn't this what he pursues? His daughter clings to him to death.
but…….
When he thought that Li Kuan would take away this clingy treasure when he came back, Li Shimin's face instantly turned ugly.
If Li Kuan was around, Xiao Sizi would definitely be obsessed with him, so how could he have anything to do with him?!
Thinking about it this way, it would be best for Li Kuan not to be in Chuhe Village.
No.
It’s better not to come back!!
Li Shimin shook his head and thought no more.
He picked up the little Sizi and walked to Prince Chu's Mansion.
"Xiao Sizi, what did you do in Prince Chu's Mansion today?"
Li Shimin smiled broadly.
"Ah, this, this, this."
Little Sizi gnawed his fingers and was organizing words in his little head. He immediately said, "That's it. Sizi has come to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to repay his kindness."
"Repay the favor?!"
"Yes, Father, the old man saved my sister, so Si Zi gave the old man and his friends a lot of delicious food, and then he played with Bai He all day long."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "That's it. It seems that our little Sizi has a playmate."
Li Shimin heard that there was something hidden in Xiao Sizi's words, but he didn't want to get to the bottom of it.
"Hehe, yes, Bai He is really nice. She can play a lot of fun things with Sizi."
"Ah, by the way, Father, why are you coming to my second brother's mansion?!"
Xiao Sizi's eyes sparkled.
"We will find out later."
Li Shimin laughed and gave it up.
Entering the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
I found the old man and several others waiting in front.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
The old man saluted, and the others saluted one after another.
Li Shimin also bowed and said: "Old sir, how dare I interrupt you, but I dare to ask something, but are you ready?!"
The old man nodded and said: "I don't dare to delay, I have already prepared it early. Your Majesty, please come with me."
The old man leads the way.
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others followed closely.
On the way, little Sizi bounced his feet restlessly and kept asking Li Shimin what on earth he was coming to see.
Li Shimin was a slave to his daughter, so he almost couldn't help but say it, but he finally held it back.
Arriving at a warehouse.
The old man stopped and ordered someone to come forward and open the warehouse.
"Dongdongdong..."
The warehouse is open.
A heavy sound with a slight sense of history.
And after opening it.
Changsun Wuji and the three of them suddenly widened their eyes.
stunned!!
Horrified!!
Shock!!
Unbelievable!!
I saw the warehouse door wide open in front of me.
many!!
So many glass products!!
As if they are free of charge, they are placed randomly everywhere.
"Your Majesty, this, this, this, this!!"
"How is this possible? How could such a thing happen!!"
“Oh my god, there are so many glass products! It’s just like what His Majesty said, it’s like it’s free!!”
Changsun Wuji and the other three took a deep breath.
Li Shimin seemed to have anticipated their reactions. He smiled calmly and said: "Three beloveds, this is just one of them."
"If you still want to see glass products, they are available in other places. Even in one day, many talented people from the Chu Palace can create many glass products."
this!!!
The voice fell.
Changsun Wuji and the others once again realized the power of the Chu Palace.
"Your Majesty, now, I... believe it."
Changsun Wuji lowered his head helplessly.
Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng did not speak, but that was the case. Changsun Wuji had already spoken for them.
"So, these things are extremely simple to make, so they are not scarce."
"In comparison, the food, gold, cloth, etc. given to the Turks in previous years are precious things."
"The King of Chu once said personally that this thing is extremely cheap, and in the whole world, only the Prince of Chu's palace has this kind of glass, so..."
Li Shimin hadn't finished speaking yet, but the three members of Changsun Wuji's family immediately understood Li Shimin's plan.
I couldn't help but feel shocked.
But after thinking about it for a moment, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
yes!!
yes!!
If this is really the case, then Datang can be said to have taken a huge advantage!!
If you can give worthless things to the Turks, who would be willing to give hard currencies such as grain, gold, and cloth to the Turks?
Not to mention, the Tang Dynasty has just experienced a food disaster and is not rich itself. Moreover, because of the promulgation of the imperial examination, major families regard the royal family as a thorn in their side, so the royal family needs gold and silver that they control even more.
But even if they were wealthy, no emperor would be willing to do this.
This is equivalent to giving money to others for free!!
Use glass products to replace food and other supplies.
