Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 277 Forced to enter the palace, Cheng Yaojin came back
In the afternoon, Fang Yuan's motorcade returned to Chang'an City.

As soon as he entered the city, there were soldiers blocking Fang Yuan's convoy.

"I am the guard of the servant of the household department, please make way!"

Xue Rengui took out Fang Yuan's token and said loudly.

As soon as the sound fell, it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

The servant of the household department has a very high position, and he is already a rare high-ranking official in the eyes of outsiders.

"Your Majesty has a purpose!"

"Invite Fang Shilang and Miss Wang to enter the palace!"

The soldier didn't move away, and said respectfully.

"Can I go home first?"

Wang Shiyu poked her head out and said.

She wanted to go back to Wang Gui's house first and ask about Wang Gui's situation.

Decide what to say and what not to say so that there are no surprises.

"Your Majesty has a purpose!"

"Invite Fang Shilang and Miss Wang to enter the palace!"

The soldier shook his head and repeated what he had just said.

Wang Shiyu frowned, and retreated into the carriage with a cold snort.

Inside the carriage, Fang Yuan and the others looked at each other, they all understood that the emperor wanted them to enter the palace immediately.

After a moment of silence, the carriage drove again, and the soldiers led the way. After a certain distance, Du Miaoyan got out of the carriage.

After Du Miaoyan got off the carriage, only Fang Yuan and Wang Shiyu were left in the carriage, the small space made the atmosphere a bit ambiguous.

Not long after, Fang Yuan and Wang Shiyu came to the imperial study room and saw Li Shimin.

"Fang Yuan, why did you think of picking up Wang Shiyu?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Miaoyan was worried about Wang Shiyu's safety, so she went out of the city to pick her up."

Fang Yuan was a little surprised that Li Shimin asked this question.

"I see."

"Did Wang Shiyu tell you the secret of the hidden prince's treasure?"

Li Shimin nodded slowly, then continued to ask.

His gaze became deep, staring at Fang Yuan, making one shiver.

"Chuan Guo Yuxi?"

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

Li Shimin should be able to guess, there is no need to hide it.

Moreover, although Chuan Guo Yuxi is a great secret, it still depends on the target.

For me, this secret is not as big as the secret of the treasure.

"It's good to know."

"I will rest assured that you will do it."

Li Shimin withdrew his gaze, and then let Fang Yuan and the two sit down.

After sitting down, eunuchs and maids brought tea and pastries to treat the two of them.

"What does His Majesty have to say?"

Fang Yuan asked.

He sighed in his heart, feeling that the matter arranged by the emperor was related to Prince Yin's treasure.

Now Lishan has become a killing field, people are crazy, very dangerous, Fang Yuan is not willing to participate if possible.

"The treasure has been opened. I don't need to take the treasure, but I want to make sure that I get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo."

"I want you to lead troops there to protect the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and even get it."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Treasure was like that to him.

Because the paper currency policy has been implemented now.

With the popularization of banknotes, people will rely less and less on gold, silver and jewelry.

No matter how much money it is, as long as the paper currency system has not collapsed, you can print as much money as you want.

But Chuan Guo Yuxi is different, there is only one in the whole world, and the consequences of falling into the hands of treacherous people are unpredictable, and it may be used for fuss.

For example, the person who claims to pass on the jade seal of the country is the master of the world.

For example, the emperor is immoral now, killing his brother and imprisoning his father, and God has repeatedly sent disasters to show that he cannot be the emperor.

And other issues, causing turmoil in the country and making the people of the world alienated, this is what Li Shimin is worried about.

"Your Majesty, I am a civil servant, how can He De lead the troops there?"

The corner of Fang Yuan's mouth twitched, feeling a little speechless.

Shouldn't the generals be responsible for this kind of thing?

"I've thought about it, among the generals who are competent, except for General Li Jingqi, who has already gone to the Lingnan battlefield."

"Li Jing is my military god of the Tang Dynasty. It's not his turn to play such trivial matters. He still has to guard Chang'an City."

"Furthermore, the failure to return from the previous two expeditions made me understand that Lishan is no longer just a simple robbing of treasures, and a flexible mind is needed there."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

It can be regarded as an explanation to Fang Yuan.

Someone must have set up an ambush on Lishan.

That kind of ambush was specifically aimed at court soldiers.

Whether it is to deliberately lose the power of the court or to attack the prestige of the court, they are not allowed to exist.

But ordinary soldiers may not be able to deal with them, and they have to find a wise civil servant to lead the soldiers to attack for the third time.

And Fang Yuan knew the secret, he also had brains, or could be competent for this attack.

"Can I say no?"

Fang Yuan pursed his mouth and said.

Even if Li Shimin puts a high hat on him, Fang Yuan is not very happy.

Going to Lishan is life-threatening, so it would be great to stay in Chang'an City as the servant of the household department.

"What do you think?"

Li Shimin asked with a half-smile.

"I think it works."

Fang Yuan said with a sneer.

"Forget it."

"But don't worry, I will arrange a general's deputy for you."

Li Shimin glared at Fang Yuan, hehe said with a smile.

Fang Yuan was about to ask who it was, the eunuch Wang De came in to report.

It is said that Cheng Yaojin has returned with the one-eyed dragon Ji Rongqi, and is waiting outside.

Fang Yuan was stunned, thinking of what Liao Fengmao and others told him, this one-eyed dragon should know who hijacked the food.

"Announce him in."

Li Shimin nodded and said.

Soon, Cheng Yaojin came in, still holding a one-eyed dragon.

"I will meet your Majesty at the end."

Cheng Yaojin saluted Li Shimin respectfully.

"Excuse me, give me a seat."

"Put this person in the sky prison, and without my permission, no one is allowed to approach him."

"Severe torture, I want to know who ordered him and what is his purpose?"

Li Shimin looked at the one-eyed dragon and said in a deep voice.

Whether it is Li Ke or not may be known soon.

Cheng Yaojin sat down, and Wang De sent someone to escort Cyclops away.

"Cheng Yaojin, is this job hard?"

Li Shimin's complexion improved a lot, and he greeted Cheng Yaojin.

"Hey, I've been marching and fighting for many years without saying that it's hard work, so what's the hard work when I'm just taking care of someone?"

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said disapprovingly.

Compared with marching and fighting, escorting individuals is really nothing.

"It's fine if you don't work hard, and I will rest assured that I will arrange another task for you."

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction and smiled.

"Your Majesty please order!"

Cheng Yaojin immediately got up and cupped his hands.

"You lead 500 people and be Fang Yuan's deputy."

"Follow him to Mount Li, and you will do whatever he tells you to do?"

Li Shimin pointed to Fang Yuan at the side and said.

"Yeah."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned, then looked at Fang Yuan at the side, it should be.

"Go and rest first, and leave early tomorrow morning."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

"I will retire at the end."

Cheng Yaojin said in a respectful voice.

"Your Majesty, is it wrong for me to command General Cheng?"

Fang Yuan sighed.

Cheng Yaojin is a famous general and has a high status among generals.

But this is not important, the important thing is that he is still the Duke of the country, his status is higher than his own, will he listen to his own?

"Don't worry, Cheng Yaojin will listen to you."

"Go on, I have something to say to Wang Shiyu."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then got up and left.

After leaving the imperial study room, the sun had already started to set.

Seeing such an hour, Fang Yuan didn't bother to go back to the household department.

"Husband, what did His Majesty say when he asked you to enter the palace?"

Back at the mansion, Du Miaoyan came up to meet her and asked worriedly.

The emperor certainly didn't want more people to know about the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

But it is estimated that Fang Yuan already knew about Chuan Guo Yuxi.

Under such circumstances, Du Miaoyan was worried about what the emperor wanted Fang Yuan to do.

"Let me lead the troops to Mount Li tomorrow, and Cheng Yaojin will be my deputy."

Fang Yuan sighed.

Tell Du Miaoyan what happened in the palace.

"Lishan is so dangerous, I want to accompany you."

Du Miaoyan's expression froze, and she said seriously.

"No need?"

Fang Yuan didn't want Du Miaoyan to be tired.

"No, I must go."

Du Miaoyan insisted.

She was worried that Fang Yuan would not be able to take care of herself there.

The imperial court sent troops twice in a row and they all failed, which shows that it is really dangerous.

The current situation in Lishan is probably targeted by someone, and those who want to fish in troubled waters don't like people in the court.

"Okay, let's go together."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

It's good to have Du Miaoyan together, it's safer.

Xue Rengui should also be called, which is more secure.

But in any case, this trip to Lishan is more dangerous than good.

And there is another point, Fang Yuan feels that it is difficult to get Chuan Guo Yuxi.

First of all, it is not known where it is and whether it has been found.

Secondly, there is the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and there must be many organs and so on to guard it.

Those who went in have not yet come out, and no one can tell what is going on inside.

It can only be said that this trip is not easy, and the task may not be completed, let's protect your own safety first.

The next day, Cheng Yaojin arrived and waited outside Fangfu with five hundred soldiers.

"Fang Shilang, it's done, it's time to go."

Cheng Yaojin shouted at the door.

He didn't come in, just sat on the horse.

When shouting in Fangfu, everyone passing by looked over.

The gathering of five hundred soldiers at the gate of Fang Mansion was an attraction in itself.

What's more, there are always troubles in Fangfu during this period, which has become the object of subconscious attention of the people.

"General Cheng, it's so early, have you had breakfast?"

Fang Yuan, Du Miaoyan and Xue Rengui walked out.

Still holding a few buns in his hand, he shook Cheng Yaojin and asked if he wanted any.

"Eat, eat."

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, he doesn't need Fang Yuan's buns.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan threw the steamed stuffed bun to Hong Xu, let her eat it or take it back.

Soon, several steeds from the mansion came over, Fang Yuan and the others got on the horses and set off with Cheng Yaojin and others.

On the way,

"Fang Shilang, is my Chumo doing business with you?"

Cheng Yaojin looked ahead and asked.

"It's about doing business together."

Fang Yuan and Cheng Yaojin stood side by side, also looking forward.

I haven't left the city yet, so the speed is relatively slow, walking with the horse.

"Is it possible to pay dividends at the end of this month?"

Cheng Yaojin let out an oh, and continued to ask.

"Not yet, it will be like that in the middle and late next month."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

It is now November, and the dividends will only be paid in December.

"He probably won't be able to come back when the time comes, and it's fine to send it to my house when the dividends are paid."

Cheng Yaojin nodded slightly and said.

"It's okay, I can wait for Momo to come back."

Fang Yuan was slightly surprised, smiling unabated.

Before leaving, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and others sent them to their home without explaining.

According to the previous situation, they were notified to come to the meeting before the dividends were distributed, and then they came to move the money back by themselves.

It's not that Cheng Yaojin's method is not good, but Fang Yuan wants Cheng Chumo and others to authorize before sending the money to their home.

"I'm Chu Mo's father, what does it matter if you send Chu Mo's money to my house?"

Cheng Yaojin said with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course it doesn't matter."

"But I have to get Chu Mo's consent."

Fang Yuan shook his head, said firmly.

"You are a civil servant anyway, why are you so inflexible?"

Cheng Yaojin's tone was rough.

"Forgive me, General Cheng. The members of my Bafang Group all have contracts."

"Without their permission, I can't give their money to others. Unless they have an accident, the money can only be taken by them or given to someone authorized by them."

Fang Yuan is also righteous.

"So you can't trust Lao Cheng?"

Cheng Yaojin reined in his horse and said in a deep voice.

"No, General Cheng, don't get me wrong."

Fang Yuan sighed in his heart, and also reined in the horse.

"Uncle Cheng, Fang Yuan also guarantees the safety of Chu Mo's money."

"After all, your family has a big business. Chumo not only has you as a father, but also several aunts and some brothers."

"If they all ask Fang Yuan for money, then in the end Chu Mo's money will end up in whose hands, Chu Mo may not come back, you don't want to?"

Du Miaoyan walked aside and said nicely.

Apart from my father, most of the rich and powerful families in Chang'an City have several aunts.

When there are many aunts, it's like a small harem. It's normal to fight openly and covertly with each other, or even fight.

At this time, money must be taken care of, otherwise it will fall into other people's hands, it may not come back, Cheng Chumo may blame Fang Yuan at that time.

"It's still your doll who can talk."

Cheng Yaojin gave Fang Yuan a white look, and smiled at Du Miaoyan.

Fang Yuan smiled mischievously, as an apology to Cheng Yaojin.

There is no way, this time to go to Lishan, we have to rely on Cheng Yaojin to be obedient and not make too much trouble.

The crowd set off again and soon left the city.

After leaving the city, the speed increased.

But there are only Fang Yuan and a few people riding horses, the others are infantry.

Therefore, although the speed is accelerated, it is not very fast. Take a break on the way and arrive in an hour.

"It's terrible, blood is flowing from the mountain to the foot of the mountain."

Looking at the dried blood at the foot of the mountain, Cheng Yaojin said solemnly.

At the foot of the mountain, you can hear the sound of pinging, bells, bangs, and occasional screams.

What's even more frightening is that from time to time, I saw people sneaking up from a hidden corner, all of them with hoes.

"It's not as chaotic as it was in the beginning."

"But it is still easy to hide here, and our trip may be dangerous."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He looked up solemnly.

Lishan is very high and has many trees.

Looking at it this way, you can't see anything.

But if there is an ambush, it will be a fatal blow.

Du Chuke was suffering before, Fang Yuan was also very worried.

"The enemy is dark and we are clear, so many of us must be very dangerous."

"But we haven't been able to change the method. Let's disperse first, sneak in as ordinary people, and go up to the towering pine tree above and then gather."

Cheng Yaojin also knew that the imperial court failed to send troops twice before.

Therefore, he is very cautious, adapting to local conditions, and feels that he and others must be kept in the dark.

"good!"

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded heavily.

In this way, the risk is greatly reduced.

The crowd dispersed and sneaked up the mountain in batches and time.

But this trip, Fang Yuan and others soon encountered big problems.
