Chapter 235
"Your Highness, I have already discussed with several other companies about the furniture workshop. It is not good for His Highness to participate. If there is any other business in the future, I will definitely inform His Highness." Lin Xuan said, clasping his fists.
Li Chengqian is not a child, and he doesn't want to keep persuading him.
Some things can only be finally understood after experiencing and suffering.
Li Chengqian would be annoyed by his blind preaching, so why bother.
I hope he understands earlier, not like in history.
Li Chengqian could tell that this was Lin Xuan's excuse, and he was very angry.
"In this case, the orphan will not participate."
Li Chengqian is not a man without a city, and he did not show his unhappiness.
"Your Highness, if there is nothing wrong, I will take my leave first." Lin Xuan said respectfully.
Although the unhappiness on Li Chengqian's face disappeared in a flash, he was still aware of it.
Lin Xuan sighed in his heart, no matter what, there was already a gap between him and Li Chengqian.
……
"Where is that person who does what he does?" Lin Xuan asked quickly when he saw Li Fuzhu.
Li Fuzhu said: "Master Hou, others are already waiting on the third floor."
"Take me up."
Lin Xuan calmed down instead.
When Lin Xuan and Li Fuzhu came to the third floor, they saw Qilao Batel, looking at the glazed wolf placed in the lobby on the third floor with fascination.
"Cough cough..."
Hearing the voice, Qilao Battelle came back to his senses, saw Lin Xuan, with a smile on his face, and said, "I have seen Lord Hou."
"Let's go, let's talk inside." Lin Xuan said.
In fact, Battelle has already arrived, no matter what, the result will be forthcoming, and he didn't show too much eagerness.
When he came to the room, Lin Xuan ordered Xiao Er to bring some tea over, and started chatting with Qi Lao Battelle.
Seeing that Lin Xuan was rambling on and on and never got to the point, Qilaobateer became anxious.
"Master Hou, the little money is ready, when can we trade it?" Qilaobateer asked.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "I see that the time is approaching, and you haven't come yet, and you are planning to contact Xue Yantuo and people from Tuyuhun."
Qilaobateer hurriedly said: "Master Hou, it was the three-month period you set at the beginning, how can you change your mind?"
After Ni Yu came to power, his status also rose.
With his current status, he could have skipped this trip.
But he was worried that something might happen, so he came to Chang'an regardless of his safety.
If he didn't get things done, what would happen to him when he went back.
Lin Xuan smiled lightly, and said, "Don't worry, what Benhou promised will be counted."
Qi Lao Battelle was overjoyed: "Your Majesty's promises are admirable. I don't know when we can transport the Liuli Wolf to the border for trade?"
Lin Xuan didn't expect Qilao Battelle to be able to speak idioms. He felt a little funny, but his face remained calm, and he said: "It happened suddenly, and I have to prepare for it. It will take three to five days at most, and it will not be later." In ten days, there will be a result."
"Yes, the little one will wait for the notification from Lord Hou."
Although Battelle wanted to trade as soon as possible, he didn't like to trade too much, so as not to arouse Lin Xuan's vigilance.
……
"I see Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin felt a little embarrassed when he thought about the grand master's chair he robbed from Lin Xuan.
"What are you doing here?" Li Shimin asked.
Lin Xuan looked around, Li Shimin understood, and said, "You all go down!"
After the people left, Lin Xuan said, "Your Majesty, the West Turkic side has a result."
"What!" Li Shimin stood up abruptly and asked, "They don't want it anymore?"
Lin Xuan asked a little strangely: "Why would Your Majesty ask such a question? They have already agreed and are urging the minister to make a deal as soon as possible."
"Impossible, impossible..." Li Shimin muttered to himself.
Lin Xuan shouted: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Li Shimin came back to his senses and said: "There is no news of the acquisition of horses, cattle and sheep at the border."
"What, how could this be?" Lin Xuan was also shocked by the news.
Even Batel, who has arrived in Chang'an, if the Western Turks raised money by selling war horses, cattle and sheep, it is impossible that there will be no news from the border.
During this time, there was no news from the Western Turks.
The Western Turks did not sell war horses, cattle and sheep, nor did they commit border robbery, so where did their money come from?
"There must be something in it that I don't know." Li Shimin frowned and thought hard.
If Western Turks had money, it would not have dragged on for so long.
If he had no money at the beginning, how could he suddenly have money now, and he hasn't noticed anything yet.
Lin Xuan hesitated for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, is it possible that the family..."
Although Lin Xuan didn't finish speaking, Li Shimin already understood what he meant.
"boom!"
Li Shimin jumped up against the case and shouted: "How courageous!"
With so much money, he didn't notice it. Apart from the aristocratic family, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could do it?
Lin Xuan said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter still needs to be investigated slowly. The most urgent thing now is whether Liuli Wolf should be sold to Western Turks."
Their original plan was to use the glazed wolf to cause war on the grassland.
Use cheap war horses to train the army.
When the various ministries in the grassland are almost finished fighting, send an army to calm down the grassland in one fell swoop.
However, now that the war horse has not been obtained, he does not know whether to trade or not.
At this moment, Li Mu hurried in, with a hint of anxiety on his face.
Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
He didn't reprimand Li Mu, as his personal servant and the head of the intelligence system, Li Mu knew many things.
Li Mu glanced at Lin Xuan, saw that Li Shimin hadn't spoken, and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Western Regions that Gaochang has blocked the trade routes between the Tang Dynasty and other countries in the Western Regions. It has been more than a month since this happened, and the news has been blocked by Gaochang. It wasn't until recently that I found out."
Li Shimin and Lin Xuan looked at each other, as if they understood where the West Turkic money came from.
"Li Mu, send someone to send Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Qin Qiong... and others into the palace." Li Shimin said.
"Yes!"
Looking at Li Shimin, Lin Xuan quickly calmed down, except for a trace of anger on his face when he heard Gao Chang blocking the trade route at first.
As expected of an emperor, the city is so deep, he can't do this.
"Your Majesty, should I go back first?" Lin Xuan said.
There are so many capable people in Datang, so let them have a headache about these messy things.
Moreover, Gaochang was destroyed during the Zhenguan period in history.
Although the time has come earlier now, Gao Chang is not a threat to Datang.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You can just listen to it later, you know all about it anyway."
Seeing what Li Shimin said, Lin Xuan could only wait obediently.
Not long after, the people Li Shimin named and summoned arrived one after another.
After everyone saluted Li Shimin, Li Shimin asked them to sit down without saying anything else.
When they saw Li Shimin's face, they knew that something important had happened, so they all sat obediently, sipping tea, without asking any further questions.
After everyone had arrived, Li Shimin said, "I got the news that Gaochang blocked the trade route between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions. What do you think?"
Others were still thinking about this matter and its impact, Cheng Yaojin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Gaochang is a small country, but dare to offend Tang Tianwei, you should send troops to suppress it!"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to defeat Gaochang!" Yu Chigong said as he got up.
For generals, their role can only be realized during wartime.
In the past few years, there have been basically no wars, and those civil servants secretly mocked the generals as useless.
Now that he has the opportunity to lead the army, of course Yu Chigong will fight for it.
"Yuchi is so stupid, the old man obviously said it first, you rushed to lead the army before the old man finished speaking, what do you mean?"
Cheng Yaojin was furious, he was about to recommend himself when he was interrupted by Yu Chigong.
"Whether or not to send troops has not yet been decided, what are you fighting for?" Li Shimin reprimanded the two of them, looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Xuanling, tell me."
Fang Xuanling got up and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, there are only a few cities in Gaochang, with a population of more than [-] and less than [-] troops. How dare you provoke Datang? The people behind this should be vigilant."
