"What, Crown Princess!" Cheng Chumo and the others looked at Lin Xuan in surprise.
Lin Xuan quickly said: "Keep your voice down!"
Cheng Chumo came back to his senses and said, "You don't want your life. Since you know that she is the future crown princess, do you still dare to investigate?"
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "You think I want to investigate? Isn't this what the prince asked me to do?"
Qin Huaidao said in a deep voice: "Zichu, although I don't know why the prince asked you to do this. But it's best not to get too involved with the prince."
Yuchi Baolin echoed: "Yes, you are already a princess, and you are still a marquis. It is better not to get involved in some things."
Although Yuchi Baolin did not say it explicitly, the meaning was self-evident. He hinted that Lin Xuan should not think about becoming a minister of Conglong.
All of them are princes of the state, and they only need to be loyal to the emperor.
Who is the emperor and what impact will it have on them?
Is it possible that he can still be crowned king?
Therefore, they have been taught from an early age not to get too close to the prince.
If they didn't have a very good relationship with Lin Xuan, they really wouldn't want to talk about it.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "But I have already promised the prince, what can I do."
There is nothing wrong with their approach. In the past, they worked hard for glory and wealth.
Now that we have glory and wealth, all we have to do is hold on to them.
As long as they do not participate in the struggle for the throne, no matter whether Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne or other princes succeed to the throne, it is impossible to touch them.
Once you participate, if you fail, your family may be ruined.
As long as you are not a fool or a greedy person, you will choose this way.
But he can't do it. It's not that he desires power, he just wants to do something for future generations.
The Anshi Rebellion, the Huangchao Uprising, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms, the world was in turmoil.
Even when the Song Dynasty was established, it was called a weak Song Dynasty by later generations because it lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and emphasized culture over military affairs.
Lin Xuan does not have great feelings of sacrificing himself for others, but after traveling through time and adding the heavenly descending system, Lin Xuan always wants to do something for future generations when he can within his ability.
In his view, if Li Chengqian could succeed to the throne, the history of the Tang Dynasty would change.
None of the big things in the future will happen.
Of course, even if history changes, other turmoils may occur, and no one can say for sure.
Dynasties are changing, that's for sure, and Lin Xuan can't change it.
He just thought that the situation like that in the Song Dynasty would not happen again.
The foreign occupation of the Central Plains dynasty brought great harm to the Han people.
Cheng Chumo gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me what you want to do, and I'll help you find a way."
Lin Xuan said: "I want to know the true character of the Su family's daughter. It is best before His Majesty grants marriage."
If the Su family learns that they are going to become the future father-in-law, it will be difficult to investigate.
"Okay, I'll let Chu Liang think of a way to get it out of Su's eldest son. Children of eight or nine years old won't be too defensive. Don't get involved in this matter. Chu Liang knows him, no.
It's easy to be suspected. You have nothing to do with the Su family. If you make contact and let someone aware of it, you will be in trouble. The water in Chang'an is deep." Cheng Chumo said.
Although Chang'an is usually peaceful, there are endless dangers hidden under power. Everyone may be stared at by many pairs of eyes.
Lin Xuan nodded. Although he was very moved, he didn't need words to express it.
Yuchi Baolin and Qin Huaidao looked at Lin Xuan apologetically.
It's not that they don't want to help Lin Xuan, as Cheng Chumo said, Li Shimin may grant a marriage at any time. At this time, rashly contacting the Su family may cause big trouble.
…
"Your Majesty, I am interested in Su Wan'er, the daughter of Secretary Cheng Su Dan, and Gao Ming did not refuse." Empress Changsun said softly.
Li Shimin had seen the people chosen by Empress Changsun, and the one he was most satisfied with was Su Waner.
Apart from what Empress Changsun thought about, what satisfied Li Shimin was that the Su family was not very powerful.
Excessive power of relatives is a big hidden danger.
The Changsun family seems to be unparalleled in power now, but with him here, he is not worried about what will happen to the Changsun family.
After the new emperor ascends the throne, the glory of the Changsun family will naturally fade a lot.
As for Li Chengqian's crown prince's family, if it is very powerful, it will become even more powerful after Li Chengqian ascends the throne, which will not be conducive to Li Chengqian's control.
The Su family is very good. Even if Li Chengqian ascends the throne, the Su family's power will greatly increase, but its own foundation is there and it will not be out of control.
Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile: "I will send someone to inform Su Dan, and then ask Qintian Supervisor to choose an auspicious day to announce the matter."
Notification is definitely necessary, otherwise if the Su family decides to get married to another family, it will be difficult to handle it.
"Then my concubine is ready." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
The prince's marriage is a big event, with a lot of etiquette and requires early preparation.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Now that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not short of money, I will leave it to Gao Ming with the highest standards."
Li Shimin was very generous when he had money.
…
After Lin Xuan left the military camp, he went directly back home.
The college is only for registration today and there will be no classes. Lin Xuan does not need to go.
And he doesn't plan to go these days because he really doesn't want to see Li Tai.
Anyway, at the beginning, we were teaching them Pinyin, and everything else had to wait until they learned Pinyin.
Lin Xuan was still some distance away from home when he saw the carriage Cui Yuxiu rode in last time parked in front of his house. There were two guards standing beside him.
Lin Xuan's heart moved and he already had some guesses.
Dismounting not far from the carriage, Lin Xuan handed the horse to Liu Da and walked towards the carriage.
The guard on the side did not stop Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan directly opened the car curtain and walked in.
It was somewhat similar to the last scene. When Lin Xuan entered, Cui Yuxiu was making tea.
"Miss Cui has been here several times, but I haven't invited her in. It's a bit rude. Why don't we go in and talk?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Cui Yuxiu was making tea carefully. When she heard Lin Xuan's words, she shook her head and said, "I'm afraid there's something wrong with a woman coming to visit, so let's forget it."
When I came to visit before, Cui Zhifeng was there. Of course, she, a woman, could not come alone.
Lin Xuan smiled and didn't care.
Cui Yuxiu poured a cup of tea, placed it in front of Lin Xuan, and said, "The elder of the family has arrived in Chang'an. I wonder when the Marquis can conclude the contract?"
Lin Xuan picked up the tea cup unhurriedly, put it between his nose and smelled it, and knew: "After tomorrow morning, I will ask Your Majesty to be a witness and conclude a contract. Miss Cui, do you think it is okay?"
Cui Yuxiu nodded and said: "Of course you can, but I don't know how long it will take before the Marquis can give us the paper and book?"
Lin Xuan put down the tea cup and said: "After the contract is concluded, as long as the Cui family has money, they only need to keep enough paper in the warehouse for Chang'an to sell, and it doesn't matter if I give you the rest."
Sales in Chang'an definitely need to be controlled by themselves.
In this way, the Cui family did not dare to increase the price too much, which is why Lin Xuan did not stipulate the sales price of paper with the Cui family.
Cui Yuxiu frowned and said, "Master Hou, do you mean that Chang'an will not be handed over to the Cui family?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and said: "The Cui family wants to sell in Chang'an, I won't stop it. But I also have a shop, so I naturally have to continue to operate it. I can't close it."
Cui Yuxiu nodded and did not delve into this matter.
Lin Xuan secretly smiled, Mo Xuanzhai was the trap left by Lin Xuan.
Moxuanzhai has no limit on paper, but does not allow you to buy it by the carload.
This is also the reason why we can stock so much paper.
However, this is not allowed and is also stipulated by Lin Xuan.
If the Cui family sells it too expensively elsewhere, Lin Xuan will naturally sell it to small businessmen secretly, forcing the Cui family to lower the price.
I didn't sell before and chose to cooperate with the Cui family because I was afraid that the Wang family would deal with those small businessmen.
But with the Cui family standing in front and muddying the waters, there is no need to worry.
Even if the Cui family wanted to suppress other businessmen and make huge profits from paper, the Wang family would not agree.
Don't look at the Cui and Wang families. They both have five surnames and seven hopes, and they have formed an alliance against the royal family.
But paper is one of the important sources of income for the Wang family. The Cui family cooperates with Lin Xuan to deal in paper, so it is strange that the Wang family can make life easier for the Cui family.
