The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 994 Li Zhi Returns to Chang'an

"Jing'er, you and Princess Jinyang don't meet each other for the next two days. Before you get engaged, you have to avoid it." Wang said before leaving.

Xuan Shijing agreed.And there are a lot of things to do in the past two days, and it is estimated that he will not be able to go to the palace. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, His Majesty issued an order, and Jinyang will not be able to leave the palace.

As for the fact that Gao Yang and Fang Yi'ai were engaged to meet outside the palace in private, that was a complete accident. After all, their marriage was pushed back and forth. It's not like every princess will meet the Emperor Daxing by chance after getting engaged. After all, the Emperor is also A rarity, there is only one within ten or even decades.

"Lord Hou." Chang Le hurried in from outside, and took out a letter from his pocket: "A letter from Qiandui to you."

Xuan Shijing took the letter, opened it and read it, put it away immediately, and said with a smile: "This is interesting."
"What's the matter? Jing'er, what happened?" Wang asked.

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "There is nothing serious about us, but the caravan in Minzhou was seized, and all the goods transported from Tuyuhun back to Datang were seized and handed over to the government."

The value of the goods delivered to Datang in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival must be high, including the rare items that the money piled up to find outside, and they are going to be given to Xuan Shijing as a Mid-Autumn gift for him to send to the palace.

It was six days ago that the caravan was detained, but the people in Minzhou were not released, and the caravan couldn't even send a message. This news is because the government in Minzhou didn't guard it so tightly. It was sent out secretly, otherwise Chang'an would have been kept in the dark.

Hearing that Xuan Shijing said it was about the caravan, Mrs. Wang stopped interjecting and relied on Xuan Shijing to deal with it.

"Master Hou, this." Chang Le was surprised. How could the caravan be detained in good condition, and it was still in Minzhou. It is possible that the Shenhou Mansion collected information in Minzhou. Jin Wang and the others knew, so they had to tell the merchants team start?
Is this trying to tear the face off with the Hou Mansion?
"Don't be nervous. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the King of Jin also has to return to Chang'an from Minzhou to have an audience with the palace?" Xuan Shijing smiled: "If you have any questions about Jieshi's palace banquet, just ask him directly."

"Ask directly?" Chang Le was taken aback.

"Don't forget, the gift to His Majesty for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is in that batch of goods, otherwise the money will be piled up in the letter and it will not emphasize how valuable that batch is." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Then what about the Mid-Autumn Festival when Lord Hou enters the palace and presents gifts?" Chang Le asked.

"I can only go to the warehouse to pick some." Xuan Shijing said, thinking about how to trick Li Zhi while talking.

It is impossible to say that Li Zhi did not know about the caravan being detained in Minzhou. In just three years, Li Zhi has truly become the leader of Minzhou. There is nothing to say, and the few staff members around Li Zhi also have some skills, otherwise they would not have been sent by His Majesty Li Er to assist Li Zhi.

As for the changes in Minzhou in the past three years, on the surface it is just that the people are living better, but secretly, other people don't know, but Xuan Shijing and His Majesty Li Er know it.

Later, Xuan Shijing asked Zhong Zishuo to go to the warehouse to pick out things to bring into the palace, but he came to Chang'an one day early for the Mid-Autumn Festival, stayed in Chang'an for one night, and went to the palace to attend the palace banquet on the second day. Lou discussed with Qiandui and Qin Yuxin about Yanlailou's relocation to Zhuangzi.

As for the current Yanlai Building, they don't plan to sell it, they simply renovate it and continue to operate it as an inn in Chang'an City.

Although there is some intention to transfer the entertainment projects of Chang'an City to Dongshan County, Chang'an City, as the capital of the empire, still has a constant stream of pedestrians. It is not a loss to open an inn, especially the location of Yanlai Building is not bad. , It's a pity to sell it.

At the same time, on the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zhi also arrived in Chang'an City. Li Zhi went out of the palace after meeting His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun. Temple.

His Majesty Li Er did not kill Wu Mei, but sent her to Ganye Temple, where she was ordained as a monk. For the concubine in the palace, it was a punishment worse than death.

Aside from three thousand worries, this is a very serious warning from His Majesty Li Er to Wu Mei. There are some things that you cannot participate in, so go to the Buddhist temple and settle down.

Generally speaking, it is more serious for a concubine in the palace to go to Ganye Temple than to go to Lenggong. Lenggong is always in the palace. If His Majesty thinks about it that day and thinks you are pitiful, he will be released and go to Ganye Temple , Once you enter the gate of the temple, you will be entangled with the world, whether it is the court, the harem, or even the people, don't think about it anymore.

Ganye Temple was originally the place where the widow of the former emperor who had no heirs stayed after the emperor's great trip. Now that Wu Mei went there, anyone with a discerning eye knew that her life was over.

It's just that nothing is absolute, at least Xuan Shijing didn't think that Wu Mei was going to be over, didn't there still be a Jin Wang Li Zhi?

Li Zhi rode out of Chang'an City alone, and changed into ordinary clothes in a clothing store on the way, and disguised himself a bit. After all, it is not a glorious thing for a prince to go to Ganye Temple in a grand manner.

In the palace, Deyi led six young eunuchs into the Ganlu Palace with food boxes.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the palace cake that Lord Dongshan sent to the palace has arrived."

"Oh? It's very good. This palace cake is the most delicious one ever made by the Dongshan Hou Mansion." His Majesty Li Er smiled: "It's just that the quantity is a bit small, so send them to the queen."

"No." Deyi responded.

All six boxes of mooncakes were sent to the Lizheng Palace, and Empress Changsun was also responsible for rewarding mooncakes in the harem. When the things were sent there, it was up to Empress Changsun how to divide them among the palaces and courtyards.

There are few things, so it is definitely not possible to cover everything, but the fourth concubine's side is definitely indispensable.

Six young eunuchs walked towards the Lizheng Hall with food boxes in their hands, and Deyi came to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, King Jin."

"Go to Ganye Temple?" His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Hmph, it's not that I'm wise, it's that I know my son too well." When Li Zhi was mentioned, Li Er Majesty's face was a little displeased: "Three years have passed, although I have settled down a lot, but the thoughts I shouldn't have have never disappeared." He didn’t cut it off, but gave birth to new ideas, he really thought that he went to the fiefdom, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so I don’t know what he is doing in Minzhou.”

His Majesty Li Er spoke in a hurry, and after he finished speaking, he coughed violently, and Deyi hurried forward to give him relief.

"Your Majesty calm down, the dragon body is important."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand: "Nothing."

After a long delay, His Majesty Li Er returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, over there at Ganye Temple." Deyi looked at His Majesty Li Er.
