Chapter 703: The Husband Who Will Give Twenty Catties of Gold for Free
"Moreover, this King of Jin has such a big plan, how could he do such a stupid thing?"
"What?"
At this time, all the Tubo envoys looked surprised again.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, although the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty was praised as a saint of the Tang Dynasty by the people of the Tang Dynasty, he always lived in Lijiazhuang. As long as there was no big event, he never left Lijiazhuang, never went to court, and never went to court.
How could such a powerless person be without making friends with the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty?...
"snort!"
Shang Nang snorted coldly, "What do you know? This is the brilliance of this King Jin of the Tang Dynasty!"
"As long as this King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty does not go to the fiefdom and stays in Chang'an City, he will have a chance. Moreover, this King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty has not shown any intention of power. He has such prestige in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
of high.
In Lijiazhuang, there were also great Confucians who invented fountain pens and bamboo paper, which had the most fatal attraction for Confucian scholars.
The best thing is that the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty also married the legitimate daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, and suggested to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty that he allow the powerful people and aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty to lead troops to attack the effect, and to establish the king and the country. Such a great favor.
De, how great can the power of this Jin king be?
The power of the Jin King of the Tang Dynasty is so high, and his prestige among the Tang army is also very high. How similar is the power of the Tang emperor when he was still the king of Qin?"
As he said this, Shang Nang couldn't help but shudder.
The Tibetan envoys on the side all had expressions of shock and regret.
"So, His Highness the King of Jin is also planning something big secretly?"
"naturally!"
Shang Nang's face was full of affirmation.
"The Prime Minister is wise. If Tubo has a Great Prime Minister, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe and prosperous day by day!"
All the Tubo envoys quickly praised him.
"Hahaha……"
Shang Nang smiled with a smile on his face.
Then, he directly said again: "You will quickly find out from me the preferences of the Jin King of the Tang Dynasty. I want to visit the Jin King of the Tang Dynasty in person!"
"Since the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty wants to ascend to that position, he will definitely establish a good relationship with us, so that our crisis in Tubo will be solved directly!"
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
All the Tibetan envoys saluted with joyful faces.
Just, after a few days.
Seeing that their time limit at the Honglu Guesthouse was about to come, a group of Tubo envoys found out Li Xuan's preferences.
"Like gold? Like iron? Also, like food?..."
After hearing the reports from all his subordinates, Shang Nang's face became even more joyful.
"This King Jin has indeed been planning for a long time. If all the hobbies of this King Jin are revealed, how many armies can be fed?"
As he said that, Shang Nang's expression slowly stiffened.
Although the preferences of King Jin of the Tang Dynasty were very much in line with their tastes, they could not immediately provide him with these preferences.
Moreover, Tubo is not rich in gold, iron, food, etc.!
"How much money do I have left with me this time?"
Thinking about it, Shang Nang asked a confidant on the side.
"Back to the Prime Minister's Kingdom, I have a thousand copper coins from the Tang Dynasty and a small box of various rare treasures!"
"A thousand strings?"
Hearing this, Shang Nang couldn't help but frown slightly, "How much gold can a thousand guans be exchanged for?"
"Back to the Prime Minister, according to reports from his subordinates, because the King of Jin loves gold, gold is very scarce in the entire Chang'an City. One thousand guan can be exchanged for ten kilograms of gold!"
"Ten pounds?"
Shang Nang frowned again. He never expected that the price of gold, which could only be used to make some utensils, would be so high in the Tang Dynasty?
However, when he thought of the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty, Shang Nang glared hard.
"You will quickly exchange half a box of rare treasures for the truth and twenty kilograms of gold!"
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
All the Tibetan envoys responded again with their hands raised.
Soon, two Tubo envoys brought a small box of heavy gold and handed it to Shang Nang.
"Tomorrow, I will go to see the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty!"
After taking a look at the twenty pieces of golden gold, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Shang Nang's eyes.
However, Shang Nang didn't know that their behavior, which they thought was very covert, was as loud as gongs and drums in the eyes of the powerful people in Chang'an City.
The moment Shang Nang got the gold, at least twenty factions in Chang'an City received the news.
However, everyone's reaction is different.
In the Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin just sneered, his expression calm.
Various aristocratic families and dignitaries in Chang'an City were full of curiosity and ordered their servants to keep an eye on the group of Tibetan envoys.
But in Lijiazhuang, Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh, trouble is coming!
"housekeeper!"
"King?"
Li Chang quickly bowed and responded.
"Send someone to inform Li Chongyi that the prince and others will come to the village tomorrow!"
Li Xuan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang didn't ask any further questions and answered directly.
"well……"
Li Xuan sighed helplessly, "If you sit at home, disaster will come from the sky!"
After saying that, he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, got up and walked to the second floor.
Early the next morning.
Li Chongyi, Li Chengqian, Li Baoding, Wang Xuance, Cheng Chusi, Changsun Chong and others who had free time all came to Lijiazhuang.
"I've met the Master!"
"I don't know what's the reason why Master asked me to come here today?"
After meeting Li Xuan, Cheng Chusi asked directly with curiosity on his face.
"We have guests arriving today, and I want you to come and greet them!"
Li Xuan said.
"guest?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others all looked puzzled.
"Today you are all disciples of the great Confucian scholars in my villa!"
Li Xuan did not answer, but said directly.
"disciple?"
Li Chengqian and Li Chongyi were all startled, and then looked at Cheng Chusi beside them with expressions of embarrassment.
"Master, a few of us can serve as disciples of the great Confucian scholar, but Chu Si and Baolin have nothing to do with scholars..."
Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin also looked helpless.
"In this case, you are my personal guard!"
Li Xuan said directly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin were overjoyed.
"Master, who came here and made you pay so much attention to him?"
After everything was settled, Cheng Chusi asked again with curiosity on his face.
"That fool who would give me twenty pounds of gold for free!" Li Xuan chuckled.
As soon as the twenty kilograms of gold came out, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others immediately understood. Only Li Baoding and Wang Xuance were still a little confused.
However, neither of them were very curious people, so they didn't ask any more questions.
soon.
Not long after Li Chongyi and others arrived at Lijiazhuang, housekeeper Li Chang hurried in.
"Your Majesty, the Tubo envoy is outside the village asking to see your Majesty!"
"Let them in!"
Li Xuan said directly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Chang responded and walked out slowly.
Inside the room, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others were all full of curiosity.
