Datang Longya

Chapter 245 Guessing Wrong

I got sucked~
After playing a card, Leng Feng said, "Actually, Lao Yuan told me, but he just sent me a letter."

In this era without text messages and WeChat, the most confidential communication between people is nothing more than letters.

Moreover, in some major matters, taking into account factors such as security, expressing credibility, etc., face-to-face negotiation is the first choice.

Unfortunately, the single room in Tianxialou is the most unique place in Chang'an City. When businessmen and businessmen discuss business, one party holds a banquet in Tianxialou, which is enough to show that they value this list.When the officials of the DPRK and China entertain their colleagues, if they hold a banquet in Tianxialou, all those who attend the banquet will give their thumbs up.

Wang Xian couldn't avoid the vulgar, and paid a lot of money to invite Wang Fu to speak for the five surnames and seven Wangs in the court hall. It's better to talk about such things in Tianxialou.

But what he didn't know was that Leng Feng had already ordered Lao Yuan to pay close attention to the banquets held by the officials in the court in Tianxialou, and to record the time and list.

Many times, just this list alone can deduce many things.

Tianxialou is engaged in serious business and will never do eavesdropping, but Wang Xian and Wang Fu should never have opened the door when exchanging property.

Wang Xian is the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan. The meeting between him and Wang Fu naturally attracted the attention of Lao Yuan. From the moment the two of them entered the box, Lao Yuan squatted at the corner of the second floor and stared there personally. After Wang Fu received a box of gold, he immediately wrote a letter of what happened today and sent it to the Leng Mansion.

Officials and businessmen love Tianxialou for gatherings, boat gangs for river transportation, and salt gangs for smuggling salt. There are a lot of people talking about miscellaneous things. In each of the two markets, there is also a small shop that seems to have nothing to do with Tianxialou.

These five places are the intelligence system that Leng Feng set up in and around Chang'an. Without these places, even if he is in Chang'an, he is no different from a blind man. Many decisions in the cold front play an important role.

Just like today, if Leng Feng didn't know that Wang Xian gave Wang Fu gold in Tianxialou, it would be very difficult to deal with Wang Fu, and he could only choose to spar with him instead of killing him with a single blow.

"Officials appointed by the imperial court should be upright and strict, and Wang Fu has learned from the past, so all loves can do it for themselves! Retire from the court!"

Leaving behind a thought-provoking sentence, Li Shimin left the hall without waiting for the ministers to stand up and see him off.

After the emperor left, Leng Feng pushed down the cards: "I don't want to play anymore, I still have a small meeting with the emperor to have a drink, if you want to play, find another one."

Li Xiaogong shook his head: "I don't play anymore, gambling at court meetings is a serious crime."

"I know it's a serious crime, but I didn't see you being afraid." Li Jing gave Li Xiaogong a white look.

Wuming came over at some point, gave a salute to Leng Feng and didn't speak. Leng Feng stood up and patted his ass indistinctly, said hello to Li Jing and the others, and left with Wuming.

Civil officials and some military generals who didn't know about the betting before them withdrew from the court one after another, while Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and others approached Liu Hongji to inquire about the results of the battle.Liu Hongji lost a lot of money, but he didn't feel bad at all. This kind of behavior similar to "skipping class and surfing the Internet" brought unparalleled pleasure.

Liu Shuwen and her two younger sisters must have gone to the queen's place, while Leng Feng went to the imperial study room under Wuming's guidance.

Li Shimin was not the only one in the imperial study room, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were also sitting on the side, sipping Tianxialou scented tea and exchanging tastes from time to time.

After the door of the hall was closed, Li Shimin pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down."

The sound is normal.

Leng Feng smiled slightly, took the first seat on the left, picked up his teacup and said to Li Shimin: "Tell me, what did you call me to the palace for? It's impossible for Fang Xiang and Zhao Guogong to see that I have no concubine in my family and want to be a matchmaker."

Fang Xuanling always looks like a peacemaker. Hearing Leng Feng's opening remarks, he immediately laughed and said, "Duke Xi is not worthy of an ordinary woman. There is really no suitable candidate in my husband's family. I don't know if the eldest grandson Shangshu Is there a Liangyuan at home?"

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand: "This old man is the youngest of the empress's generation, and the next generation is the daughter's generation, but if Duke Xi doesn't mind, this old man can also take advantage of it, hahaha."

Li Shimin knocked on the table: "Now is not the time to talk about women."

Seeing that both Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji had stopped smiling, they said to Leng Feng, "Duke Xi, I just want to ask you, how did you predict that there will be a big locust plague this year?"

How do you know?I saw it in the history books.

But this reason is definitely unspeakable~

Leng Feng put the teacup back on the table, then wiped his face, and said solemnly: "To be honest, I am proficient in the way of gossip. I just counted my fingers at the banquet that day, and I figured it out!"

"Pooh!"

He got pissed off again, and it was Li Shimin who pissed him off.

"Don't fool me with those messy things. If you really know how to tell fortunes, you won't be deceived by Feng An to go to Lingnan. In my opinion, the reason you predict the locust plague is probably one of your complicated knowledge. .”

Leng Feng looked at Li Shimin with doubts in the corner of his eyes. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin didn't believe in gods and ghosts at this time, but no matter the official history or unofficial history, there were records of his behavior of indulging in seeking immortality.

Perhaps, creatures like emperors will suffer from "long-term illness" together when they are old. After enjoying the world's prosperity and wealth for a long time, it is inevitable that they will move their minds about longevity, and the wiser the emperor, the more likely to suffer from this disease .

Fang Xuanling didn't believe this, so he cupped his hands at Leng Feng: "Dare to ask Duke Rong, what kind of knowledge is needed to predict locust disasters? You must know that this kind of knowledge is called a magic skill for the people of Tang Dynasty!"

Changsun Wuji also said: "In every locust disaster, some people will lose their crops and become homeless. Some people will even take advantage of the chaos to rise up. You have already given the reputation of disaster relief to those generals. This time Your Majesty summoned you, it is not to pursue This matter, I just hope that you will make this knowledge public."

Leng Feng thought that Li Shimin would definitely pursue what he did at Liu Hongji's house, but he didn't expect that he guessed wrong, so he wanted to ask this.

Seeing that Changsun Wuji had explained what he meant, Li Shimin added: "There are no outsiders here, Duke Xi, do you know that locust plague is a disaster that threatens the court more than drought or flood.

If there is a severe drought or flood, the common people will first think whether someone offended the Dragon Lord, or whether there was an unjust case.But if it is a plague of locusts, the first thing that comes to mind is that the emperor does not cultivate his virtue.Counting the dynasties and dynasties, which locust plague did not make people panic.
