Chapter 246 Empress Wu's Psychological Shadow

[Luck path: 15 (good luck comes, good luck comes, welcome the good luck to prosper and prosper all over the world)] → [Luck path: 16 (time comes, the world is the same force V0.1)]

"Li Jingxuan's highest attribute is luck?"

Li Yan was surprised at first, then suddenly understood.

That's right, this prime minister has a mediocre background. Although he has abilities, he is not top-notch.

The most important thing for Li Jingxuan to have today's status is that in the past when Li Zhi was not the prince, he became a servant by his side and gained trust.

As for Li Sichong's case, Li Zhi hated Li Jingxuan deeply, and he clearly wanted to kill the old guy. As a result, Li Zhi was now seriously ill, and Li Jingxuan almost had to be reborn as Empress Wu, making a comeback. This luck is really good.

However, Li Yan has always believed that high luck is the icing on the cake, and it is too unsafe to win purely by luck.

After all, the opponent may also be very lucky, and the confrontation between the two will disappear. For example, Li Jingxuan met himself.

That's not right, this time I made more money.

"Drawing this 1 point of attributes saves 500 achievement points!"

Li Yan praised it greatly, and checked his harvest in Tubo and Tuyuhun by the way.

[Fame: Fame (Tubo King City)] → [Fame: Famous King City (Tubo King City)]

【Achievement +300】

[Fame: Obscurity (Tuyuhun King City)] → [Fame: Fame (Tuyuhun King City)]

【Achievement +100】

[Fame: Fame (Tuyuhun King City)] → [Fame: Famous King City (Tuyuhun King City)]

【Achievement +250】

[Achievement +1] [Achievement +2] [Achievement +1] [Achievement +2]...

……

In the royal cities of the two countries, his reputation spread far and wide, and he should be able to become a household name in the two countries for selling tea next.

When the reputation of the national level increases, the number of achievements rewarded will be even higher.

The accumulation is also getting richer.

[Achievement point: 1622]

With this achievement point, if there is no extra expenditure this time, Li Yan can draw another talent when the situation stabilizes.

Eliminate a batch of unnecessary talents, upgrade and integrate the needed talents, and carry out a large-scale update.

"With the improvement of attributes, no matter how fast the achievement points are accumulated, it will not be enough to upgrade directly, and the functional talents will become more and more effective."

"Only [Busha Wuming] and [Backstab Master] have saved me thousands of achievement points. Such awesome talents, the more the better!"

Li Yan walked back in a happy mood, and saw a leaving figure familiar from afar.

But after thinking about it, he still shook his head.

It can't be Qiu Shenji, this figure is almost as fat as Di Renjie.

……

"Quickly block the news, what are you doing in a daze!!"

"It can't be blocked anymore. Our people are all in Pingkangfang. When we found out, those people who heard about it scattered into various squares and cities. Now the news is spreading in the streets and alleys!"

Wei Chengqing swayed and sat down abruptly.

The next moment, he reacted again: "Quick! Go to the rice shop, don't let them continue to buy rice at a low price, close the shop, hurry up!"

This is too late.

His subordinates soon reported that the people in Chang'an flocked to various rice shops like crazy, especially the cheap rice shops under Webster's command, and sold out.

Finally, I have accumulated virtue, but it is a drop in the bucket.

Wei Zhenxuan's face was pale: "If Chang'an also falls into famine, what should we do?"

Even if there are many mourners outside, they can still see out of sight and out of mind, and still spend their days and nights in the mansion.

But once there is a famine in Chang'an, it must be resolved immediately.

This is not kindness, but to maintain the rule, and Empress Wu will never allow Chang'an to be turbulent.

Wei Chengqing gritted his teeth and said, "Go to Dongshi quickly and call the head of Xiao's Chamber of Commerce!"

Mr. Xiao arrived soon, but the first sentence was: "Wei Shilang, our chamber of commerce really can't produce food, and now all the shops have been robbed!"

Wei Chengqing waved his hand, completely ignoring it: "Putting away that trick, you merchants, have you ever gathered a large amount of food and quickly fetched it for emergency, this is related to the country!"

Xiao Zhang was really in a hurry: "Wei Shilang, I am absolutely right. There is a lot of food in the south of the Yangtze River, but water transportation can only reach Luoyang. From Luoyang to Chang'an, the road is difficult, and the water transportation is difficult. Our food cannot be transported. !"

Wei Chengqing asked coldly: "What about the Xie Chamber of Commerce? How dare you avoid it?"

Master Xiao hurriedly said: "The Xie Chamber of Commerce is not avoiding it. They have recently switched to selling tea. I'm afraid they won't be able to get this food!"

Wei Chengqing became angry. Jingzhao Wei, as the most prominent clan in the pass, looked down on these Jiangnan people in his bones, and simply threatened: "I don't care if you sell rice or tea. If you can't produce enough food this time, you two chambers of commerce." Don’t think about driving in Guanzhong anymore, go back and find a way, and give me an answer within half a day!”

Director Xiao was furious in his heart, but his face could only be filled with regret: "Yes! Yes! Let's find a way..."

After leaving Wei's mansion and returning to Dongshi, the headquarters of the two chambers of commerce were next to each other, so he simply went directly to Xie's lobby.

Seeing Mr. Xie was commenting on a new tea cake package, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "I said Xie Sanlang, you live a comfortable life, but I make someone smile, and the one who was scolded is miserable!"

Director Xie hurried up to greet him: "Brother Xiao, come and drink tea, what happened?"

Director Xiao sat down and drank a cup of tea, he couldn't help praising: "This Yangxian tea is really delicious..."

Then he gave a general account of the affairs of the Wei Mansion: "Guanzhong is closed, and it is difficult to transport goods. In addition, Chang'an is too big and there are so many people, so that the counties and counties in Guanzhong can't breathe. This can't be solved with money. The problem! Wei Chengqing is really deceiving people too much, and he doesn't talk about the feelings of helping each other before!"

Mr. Xie also frowned and said: "I also hate the faces of these high-ranking officials the most. Why do you have to talk to him? Isn't there a minister in our court now?"

Mr. Xiao said in a cold voice: "Don't mention him. Last time I went to the mansion to see Lai Shilang, I waited for three hours before a gentleman from his family came. He was the fourth in line, the son of the prime minister, and he was very proud. !"

He whispered: "As far as I can see, Laiheng is not able to unite the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. The selection of saints is wonderful. If you don't accept it, you can't do it!"

Director Xie didn't understand at first, but he understood after hearing this.

It is precisely because of the limited ability of Laiheng to unite in one place that Li Zhi let him be the leader, so as to avoid the trend of being too big to lose.

Director Xie rolled his eyes: "The Xiao family has talent, can you stand up for me?"

Mr. Xiao smiled wryly: "I'm not going to hide it from Xie Sanlang. My generation of the Xiao family is not good enough. Fortunately, the imperial examination has been fairer this year, so that the next generation can be trained. If the imperial examination is passed, more talents will be produced, and I will fight for a good future for our Jiangnan gentry. , when the time comes, let's see who dares to humiliate us like this!"

Xie Zhangshi took a sip of tea and said silently in his heart: "My Xie family's next generation has already produced a great talent, let's see how long Wei Chengqing can be arrogant!"

……

Daming Palace, inside Zichen Palace.

Empress Wu finished correcting today's memorial, squinted at Li Zhi who was beside her, and called the maidservant: "Let the imperial hospital fetch your majesty's medicine, and add some soothing incense."

When the imperial physician came, Empress Wu personally fed the drowsy Li Zhi with the medicine, and in the huge cauldron in the hall, there was a soothing incense from the Western Regions, and the smoke was lingering.

The imperial physician withdrew, Li Zhi finished drinking the medicine, Empress Wu ignored him, and did not shy away from it, and directly summoned Eunuch Gao: "Yang Zaiwei is back?"

Eunuch Gao said: "The empress has already returned."

Empress Wu handed over a silk cloth: "Give him a task."

Eunuch Gao took it, and couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

I saw the words Ming Chongyan written on it.

Empress Wu of Meihua Neiwei could not be suppressed publicly, but Ming Chongyan couldn't stay.

This plum blossom inner guard who is loyal to the saint not only deters the officials, but also makes it extremely difficult for her to subdue Shang Gong who is entrenched in the Taiji Palace.

Both of them are deputy cabinet leaders, Ming Chongyan is in charge of external tasks, and Shang Gong is in charge of newcomers internally.

With the help of Shang Gong, Empress Wu can also cultivate the criminal daughters of Ye Ting into her confidantes. Whether it is to spy on the officials, or as a killer spy, it is an excellent tool.

She had been coveting Plum Blossom Neiwei for a long time, and Li Zhi had never let go before, but now he can finally take it over.

However, Eunuch Gao hesitated for a moment, and still said: "After reporting to heaven, Yang Zaiwei was seriously injured, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do the job."

Empress Wu said calmly: "If there is any good medicine in the palace, let him choose it at will. There are also eminent monks in the Ci'en Temple to heal his injuries. The injuries are fine!"

This tone is better than Yang Zaiwei himself knowing his body, so eunuch Gao can only accept orders to issue orders.

But soon, he returned to the palace: "After reporting to heaven, Yang Zaiwei is no longer in the temple, leaving a letter saying that he is going outside the city to recuperate..."

Empress Wu's eyes turned slightly cold: "Then why don't you go look for him outside the city? Why are you returning to the palace so eagerly?"

Eunuch Gao's complexion was pale, and he knelt down abruptly: "From what I saw all the way, all the food stores outside the palace have been robbed, the streets and alleys are spreading rumors of a catastrophe inside the customs, and there is chaos, so I have to go back to the palace to report!"

"The rice shop is sold out?"

Empress Wu immediately realized that the matter could not be suppressed anymore, and her phoenix eyes were filled with evil spirits: "How did this news get out? Did you find out?"

Eunuch Gao said: "I don't know the source of the news, but there are still some rumors in the workshop... and... and..."

Empress Wu suddenly understood that it was related to herself, thinking of the blood-colored Buddha before Wu Minzhi's death, a shadow cast over her heart, and her voice trembled faintly: "What did you say?"

Eunuch Gao mourned: "Those people talk nonsense, I can't say it!"

Empress Wu said word by word: "Forgive you for your innocence! Say it!"

Eunuch Gao kowtowed, and his voice became lower and lower until it was as thin as a mosquito: "It is said in the workshop... that the demon empress is messing up the country... to deceive the saints!"
