I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 251 We Are Rich!We want to buy a house and land in Chang'an! (15)

Yan Lide stood in front of the case and hesitated for a long time, holding a pen in his hand, but couldn't finish it.

For a moment, his face was extremely embarrassed and tangled.

"Minister..."

He said with a sad face,

"I really can't write it down, please ask the minister to do it yourself..."

It's not that Yan Lide is afraid of taking responsibility, the main thing is that he has never done anything like refute the emperor, so he doesn't know where to start!

"What can't be written about this?"

Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said casually,
"Let's just say this - the foreign aggression has not been eliminated, the livelihood of the people is still difficult, and the treasury is empty. Please, for the sake of the world, please give priority to people's livelihood and infrastructure, and postpone the construction of the palace."

"Then call it to Zhongshu province in my name and present it to the emperor."

"Afterwards, if the emperor blames me, I will fight him, don't be afraid!"

After hearing these words, Yan Lide's expression became firm.

The minister has already said so, what else is there to be afraid of?

"Yes!"

He immediately responded, took a pen and wrote it on the melody, and carefully packaged it in the box.

No matter how angry His Majesty is when he sees this memorial, there is a minister who will bear it!

"That's right, Lide."

Xu Fenglei suddenly asked,
"In Chang'an City, where is the safest place, where is the richest place, and where is the most idle space?"

Yan Lide was slightly taken aback, and then said without thinking:

"Chang'an [-] Square, with Zhuque Street as the center, is divided into east and west. There is a folk saying that the east is rich and the west is rich."

"This is because Dongfang is closer to the imperial palace. Ministers of the imperial court, relatives of the emperor, honored nobles, etc. all live in Dongfang. It can be said that the nobles gather, and the public security is naturally the best. Jingzhao Yamen is also in the east. There are Jinwu Guards and Yi Guards patrolling the streets every day, so it should be the safest."

"On the other hand, the West Market is a place where Hu merchants gather. The trade is prosperous. Many wealthy merchants live in the West Square. The public security is also good, but it is slightly worse than the East Square."

"As for the large unoccupied space, it is naturally in the south of the city. Although the Mingde Gate in the south of the city has the highest standard, it is the farthest from the palace and far from the city, so there are few people living there."

"Such as Anle, Changming, Yanzuo, and Guangxing, there are almost no people living in them."

Xu Fenglei nodded approvingly.

"Of course."

He nodded and said,

"I'll give you a mission."

"Minister, please tell me." Yan Lide hurriedly bowed down with a respectful expression.

"Help me choose a store in the most prosperous area of ​​West Square, and then choose a warehouse in the safest place in East Square."

Xu Fenglei ordered,

"Besides, in the south of the city, you should do more research to see which fangs have the fewest people and the cheapest land prices."

Yan Lide was taken aback again.

"Uh……"

He wondered,

"It's not difficult. There are houses and shops listed for sale in Chang'an every day... It's just that you want it?"

Xu Fenglei smiled slightly.

"I want to buy a house and land!"

He got up and patted Yan Lide on the shoulder, and said with a smile,
"I have money in my hand, and I don't feel comfortable if I don't spend it!"

"So, after work, go to investigate according to my request, thank you for your hard work."

Yan Lide: "..."

What a down-to-earth answer!
But yes, as a minister, it is reasonable to buy some real estate.

"The officer understands."

He arched his hands,

"Within three days, I will complete this errand for the minister!"

The boss's personal work must be done seriously, not sloppy!
Hearing this, Xu Fenglei nodded in satisfaction.

"I'm optimistic about you, and it's probably you who will take over my position in the future."

He drew a big cake casually, and immediately said,
"You should pay more attention to the Ministry of Industry. I will go to the East Palace."

After finishing speaking, he walked away, leaving only Yan Lide messed up in the wind.

Is it true that you go to work for 1 minute and skip work for [-] hours?
The tea just brewed is still not cold...

"Ugh!"

"Having this minister, I don't know whether to be happy or to..."

Yan Lide sighed softly, and sat back on the side seat.

……

East Palace, Xiande Palace.

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin in front of him, and listened attentively to his report.

"Your Majesty, it is as expected by Mr. Xu!"

Cheng Yaojin arched his hands,

"When I arrived in Youzhou, I secretly met with Li Yuan. That Wang Junkuo really incited Li Yuan to rebel!"

"Fortunately, the minister arrived in time and brought him His Majesty's will again, which stabilized his heart."

Li Shimin's face suddenly turned cold.

"I didn't expect that I also misjudged people sometimes..."

he murmured,

"In the past, Wang Junkuo was under my command, and he was also a mighty general. He made many military exploits, and I originally planned to use him again in the future."

"I didn't expect that he turned out to be a cunning villain!"

"Why did he incite Li Yuan to rebel?"

Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Shimin and said in a deep voice:

"I don't know, but it's probably the same as Xu Gong expected. The King of Lujiang is just a straw bag, and the actual military power in Youzhou is actually in the hands of Wang Junkuo."

"Wang Junkuo wanted to force Li Yuan to turn against him first, and then put out a banner to kill him. In this way, he could gain a lot of merit and be promoted to rank without any effort. Heh...he had a good plan!"

Li Shimin nodded.

"Yeah...it's really a good plan!"

With sharp eyes he murmured,
"I'm so annoyed by the government and the Turks now, how can I pay attention to him?"

"If he really follows his plan, I will be kept in the dark, and I will treat him as a counter-rebellion hero and reward him wantonly..."

"Ha ha……"

"I heard that Mingzhen is predicting things like a god, so I have to obey."

It's really weird to think about it.

If you say that you can judge loyalty and traitor by appearance, he will believe it.

But Xu Fenglei has never met Wang Junkuo, how can he be sure that this person is scheming?

At this moment, Li Shimin's interest in metaphysics is getting stronger...

"Yes, thanks to Mr. Da, a rebellion was avoided."

Cheng Yaojin also laughed and said,
"That Li Yuan is cowardly and incompetent. After meeting him, I wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death. Such a person dares to rebel!"

"It's almost the same as being killed by the neck."

Li Shimin came back to his senses and asked again:
"How did you deal with the Youzhou matter?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I think that in the current situation, one thing more is worse than one thing less. Although Wang Junkuo is suspected of forcing Li Yuan to take credit for it, he has no intention of rebelling against him."

Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice,

"Turkic invaders, Youzhou is an important military area in the north, and a general needs to be in charge. Therefore, the minister did not arrest him, but revealed his identity, and spread His Majesty's will throughout Youzhou to appease the hearts of the soldiers and civilians."

"In this way, Wang Junkuo will naturally lose his malice, and Youzhou will return to peace, just like before."

"I think that after the world is in peace, Wang Junkuo will be ordered to go to Beijing to report on his duties. At that time, His Majesty can do whatever he wants with him."

After some words, Li Shimin was delighted.

"Good, good!"

He clapped his hands and laughed, approvingly,
"I heard that Ming said it well! Knowing the details is very useful!"

"I want to reward you!"
