Datang first village

When Li Yuanxing returned to Qinwangzhuang, it was almost dawn.

The guards of Qinwangzhuang didn't complain, they dutifully lined up in front of the main gate of Qinwangzhuang and waited for Li Yuanxing to return home.

Wang Yuyan was so sleepy that she couldn't even stand still, but she still let the maid support her.

When the head of the family returned home, he would naturally have to be greeted by someone. As Wang Yuyan's shift supervisor for this month, he naturally couldn't entrust this task to others.

When Li Yuanxing entered Qinwangzhuang, the hands of his watch had already reached five o'clock in the morning.

He picked up Wang Yuyan and put him on the soft sedan chair used in his mansion: "Go back to sleep, I have some important things to deal with, I will go back to the house to accompany you later."

King Qin had business to do, Wang Yuyan nodded obediently, but ordered his maid to go to the kitchen to get someone to prepare something to eat, in case Li Yuanxing would be hungry.

Back in his study, Li Yuanxing closed the door, turned on the lamp and sat at his desk.

After wiping his hands gently with a soft cloth and pouring himself a cup of strong tea, Li Yuanxing lit a cigarette and leaned back on the chair.

It's not that Li Yuanxing is not curious about the contents of the note, but Li Yuanxing has learned from the cabinet master that the more he looks forward to it in his heart, the more he must suppress his impulse, which may lead to many bad results. Impulsiveness can lead you to make bad decisions.

After a cigarette, Li Yuanxing took a deep breath and took a sip of tea.

Then he spread a piece of white paper on the table and took out the folded paper from his pocket.

This paper feels like it is made of rags, with a small amount of bark mixed in, so it should be paper from the north.

The preservation is good, it should have been placed in the box all the time, there is no dust, and there is no trace of water sticking.Opening the folded paper, Li Yuanxing saw about forty or fifty characters written in regular script.

After reading the content, Li Yuanxing stayed for 10 minutes.

This is an IOU, or rather a transaction.A deal that didn't pay back and didn't fulfill its promise.IOUs worth 40 and a political promise.The date of inscription was the 13th year of Daye, that is, Li Yuan had just rebelled and had not captured Chang'an City.

This is the IOU written by Li Chengqian to the Cui family in Qinghe, the Li family in Longxi, and the Zheng family in Xingyang.

That's right, if it weren't for the Hedong clan, it would be impossible for the Li clan to dominate the world.

The power of the Cui family in the Ministry of Households is probably because of this. Looking at the Ministry of Households, it is equivalent to guarding the country's money bag, and it is also watching when the Li family can repay the arrears.

The political commitment obviously no longer exists, because Li Jiancheng has been turned into a handful of loess.

But if he really wanted to pay back the money, either Li Er would have to pay it now, or he would refuse to admit it.

If you take out the money, the national treasury will be empty immediately, and this is not counting the interest for so many years.

This note should be kept in Cui's house, and it should be given to Li Yuan by the old Patriarch of the Cui family on the day of the card game.Judging from Li Yuan's reaction, this is not a debt collection, so don't ask for anything, just return the IOU to Li Yuan.

Li Yuanxing carefully placed the note between two artificial crystal plates, and then vacuumed it up.Locked in his own safe, Li Yuanxing will never let anyone see such things again, even Li Er will not let them see, including Wu Zhao.

In the 13th year of the great cause, Li Yuan rebelled.Li Er seemed to be a fanatical and crazy boy, and rushed forward with his soldiers and horses.Li Jiancheng, who is ten years older than Li Er, naturally became the logistics manager. Rebellion is not a game, it is related to the life of Li Yuan's family, and the Li family needs support.

150 million crowns, this huge sum of money can be said to have helped the establishment of the Li Tang Dynasty.

This money should not be available to Qinghe Cui.

According to historical records, Li Tang was helped by the Shandong gentry, and there were far more than seven surnames and ten families in Shandong.There should be other aristocratic families, such as the Lanling Xiao family, the Langya Wang family, and the Langya Yan family.

If you want to rebel, you need strong support.

When you rebel, you can say that you don't care about the consequences, so there is no limit to your commitment.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan would definitely not recognize this commitment, nor would he distribute the interests of his royal family to these gentry.Therefore, the gentry were hostile to the Li royal family, and even thought they were barbarians, who only knew benefits, did not know promises, and were untrustworthy.

Should I talk to Li Yuan, or the old patriarch of the Cui clan?

Li Yuanxing fell asleep unknowingly leaning on the chair, and no one would break into the study unless Li Yuanxing summoned him.

Li Yuanxing slept until the afternoon of the next day, and it was Wang Yuyan who knocked on the door when he couldn't wait for Li Yuanxing at dinner.

"Your Highness, it's time for lunch." Wang Yuyan whispered after entering the room.

Wang Yuyan noticed that Li Yuanxing was still wearing the same suit when he came back last night, and it was already wrinkled. Obviously, Li Yuanxing had been sitting on a chair all night. She didn't dare to ask more questions, because she didn't know what would make His Royal Highness King Qin like this.

I just know it's definitely not a trivial matter.

"Has the child been delivered?" Li Yuanxing asked softly.

"I only heard the emperor's personal guards say that the carriage has arrived at the Chamber of Commerce Street. However, Princess Mingyue's carriage may be faster, and it should enter the village in a while."

Wang Yuyan truthfully reported that the Taishanghuang's guards did not mention whether it was a child or anything else.

"Prepare some exquisite food, arrange someone to take Mingyue to the study. You prepare a set of clothes for me, and then arrange someone to prepare a pot of hot water. I want to clean my face!"

Wang Yuyan's maid went to deliver a message, and Wang Yuyan went to pick up Wu Zhao himself.

When Wu Zhao came into Li Yuanxing's study, Wang Yuyan's footsteps were obviously slower. She didn't know whether she should leave or whether she should hear some words.

"Let's listen to Yuyan too. The person who will come later is called Li Wanshun. She is the daughter of the crown prince, and she will live in the Prince Qin's mansion. The Emperor Taishang wants her to follow Mingyue. Yuyan should make arrangements for this matter, so she shouldn't know. There is no need for people who know about it. You go and pick it up yourself, take it for a bath, and change into decent clothes."

Hearing that it was Prince Yin's daughter, Wang Yuyan's heart was really twisted.

You know, Prince Yin's children can be said to have been killed. This is where the royal family is cold-blooded.Now that there is an extra daughter suddenly, how can it not be worrying.

Wang Yuyan nodded, and ordered when she went out, "Remove the ordinary maids first, and arrange for the inner court maids to come over..."

"Something astonishing must have happened. Your eyes tell me that you don't seem to understand it?" Wu Zhao walked up to Li Yuanxing and motioned Li Yuanxing to hug her and sit on his lap.

Li Yuanxing took out the IOU and put it on the table.

"The IOUs Li Jiancheng gave to the family, I believe the real number should be higher than this. I remember how much money it cost to raise troops against the Sui Dynasty. I remember the historical records. At the beginning, the Li family raised troops to open warehouses and release food. They relied on benevolence to attract people. There are a large number of defectors, so no big things can be done without money!"

"This is too difficult. There are countless reasons from different angles." Wu Zhao shook his head.

Li Yuanxing also agrees with Wu Zhao's statement: "It's not wrong. If Li Jiancheng had selfish intentions at the beginning, then he believed that he would become the next emperor, so some of them may not be written on this paper."

"It's also possible that he was an abandoned child in the first place!"

"It's also possible that he was still stupid at the time and didn't know what rebellion meant. But it's more likely that this was an investment from the family in the Li family, and it could also be said to be a game. It's just that Li Jiancheng was young at the time and didn't realize it. When it comes to the complicated part, just know, make a promise, and take the money to raise troops!"

After Li Yuanxing said a lot in one breath, he patted the table lightly: "The only thing I don't understand is why the old patriarch of the Cui family handed over this thing to the father, and I can feel that he is not here to collect debts! "

"Perhaps it is a kind of reconciliation, a kind of reconciliation for the struggle between the aristocratic family and the royal family in the past ten years. The past has passed, and now is a brand new beginning."

Hearing Wu Zhao's words, Li Yuanxing nodded silently: "I hope so!"

"The Supreme Emperor treats me well, I'll take care of that Li Wanshun!" Wu Zhao took over the job, which saved Li Yuanxing a lot of trouble.

Li Yuanxing picked Wu Zhao up and said, "Okay, let's go to dinner. You have to help me translate for a few days. Latin is a magical language. I can't learn it anyway. I don't know why you learned it in the first place. Such a strange language as Latin is amazing!"

"It's crazy!" Wu Zhao retorted.

"Rome, their emperor sent a caravan to bring hundreds of people, and four of them are very interesting. A woman, a girl, a man, and a boy. The girl is the highest among them. She is the niece of the emperor's wife, She and her last fiancé, who is also the adopted son of the emperor, Justin came to Datang. Another man claimed to be the son of Caesar, and the younger and older woman was the sister of the adopted son!"

Li Yuanxing said too much.

But Wu Zhao understood, and said softly, "After more than 30 years, this will be Justin II. Emperor of Rome!"

"Caesar's son, this Caesar in the era of the Eastern Roman Empire should have meant the vice-emperor, the emperor's second-in-command, so the person sent by the Roman Empire this time has status and status, and Tang can't ignore it, at least ten Years ago, it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to be an enemy of the Roman Empire."

Li Yuanxing directly explained his thoughts.

"Let's start with the language barrier!" Wu Zhao bit the word language barrier very hard.

"Language barrier? Yes, how to learn without knowing the language!"

"In modern study abroad in later generations, international students have to take an English test, and they have to pass the language barrier first when they go abroad. Now here in Datang, people who come to Datang to study must first pass the language barrier, such as how much they can wear. It must be learned." An evil feeling flashed in Wu Zhao's eyes.

Li Yuanxing slapped Wu Zhao lightly on the buttocks: "A major national event is not a trifling matter!"

Wu Zhao smiled cheerfully.

"Let's go and eat!" Li Yuanxing didn't mind these little things anymore. (To be continued.)
