The Happy Prince of Tang Dynasty

"I originally planned to send troops to Korea after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but everyone's life-long affairs must not be left behind, so it was resolved on the same day, and everyone will have no worries when they go to Korea."

Li Jiancheng made such a fuss about his feelings for the sake of going to Korea. It seems that Li Jiancheng has made up his mind to go to Korea.

"Prelude!"

Leaving early in the morning, Li Jiancheng left unhurriedly, taking advantage of the free time now, to feel the breath of freedom, otherwise he will not be so comfortable after a while.

"Big brother, big brother, wait!" [

Hearing the voice behind him, Li Jiancheng didn't bother to respond and continued walking forward.

"Brother, why are you leaving in such a hurry? People have been calling for a long time and still don't stop." Li Yuanji said something complaining, but in the blink of an eye, he put on a smiling face and said flatteringly, "Brother, you are really my guide." Bright lamp, just a few words and a few words have solved the life-long matter for me, little brother, my admiration for you, big brother..."

"Okay, talk when you have something to say, fart when you have something to say, don't talk nonsense."

"Cough cough!"

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Luo Cheng and others on the side all want to laugh, but they are embarrassed to laugh.The reason why they appeared in front of Li Jiancheng with Li Yuanji naturally had the same purpose. Now everyone can be regarded as allies, and it is not good to embarrass Li Yuanji by laughing!

"Brother, younger brother is getting married soon, but you also know, elder brother, that younger brother doesn't have much money left, so it may be difficult to make a dowry..."

"Why, you want your elder brother to pay you for your own marriage?"

Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Yuanji and said angrily.certainly.Li Jiancheng regretted that their purpose of catching up was definitely not about the dowry. Since Li Yuanji didn't say it directly, then Li Jiancheng just wanted to tease him.Therefore, at this moment, he showed a look of dissatisfaction and walked straight forward.

"Hey, brother, listen to me..."

Li Yuanji originally wanted to act again, and then he would tell his purpose.He looked up and saw that Li Jiancheng was more than ten meters away, and suddenly heard that Li Jiancheng's acting talent was invincible, and he acted in front of him.Isn't this playing tricks?therefore.No longer procrastinating, I will tell the intentions of several people.

"Brother, you see that we are about to get married, and the dowry is definitely enough. But, no matter what, we have to come up with some tokens that can stand on the table. This way the bride will be happy, right. I know that the elder brother will definitely not be stingy. So this I just wanted to ask Big Brother for some diamond rings, Big Brother, you won’t disagree, right?”

"Humph!"

Li Jiancheng snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "If you want a diamond ring, just say so. Crying poor in front of big brother, you are still a little tender."

"Yes, yes, the elder brother is right, and the younger brother also knows that he is playing tricks!"

Li Yuanji was taught by Li Jiancheng at this moment, how could he refute, he came here like this when he was a child, and now, in order to please the bride, he has no reason to refute.

"Okay, for the sake of your sincerity, I will have someone prepare it for you, and I will give it to you on your wedding day."

"Thank you bro!"

Li Yuanji, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Pei Yuanqing and Luo Cheng immediately expressed their gratitude.

In fact, even if they don't ask Li Jiancheng for it, Li Jiancheng will give it to them.Li Yuanji, a blood-related younger brother, got married, and Li Jiancheng would naturally not be stingy; although Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were sworn brothers, they were not inferior to Li Yuanji and the others, and Kou Zhong was also married to Li Xiuning, so Li Jiancheng would naturally give it, but The effect Kou Zhong gave was different. [

Needless to say, Pei Yuanqing and Luo Cheng, of course Li Jiancheng would not leave them behind, Li Jiancheng is still a very generous master.Thinking of his generosity, Li Jiancheng smiled and left the palace. There is still one thing waiting for him to deal with today.

"Complete, here you come!"

[Xiyou Hotel] In the backyard, Li Jiancheng sat on the main seat, and He Qing, Qin Hu, Yang Wei, Song Wen, Sha Bao, and Sha Liang stood aside.

"Hehe, I said you don't have to be too restrained in front of me, just sit down and talk."

Li Jiancheng picked up the teacup and drank a little. The taste was a little bit bitter, and there was no fragrance of tea at all.Now, Li Jiancheng was looking forward to when Song Que would bring him the Dahongpao.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the six people bowed to Li Jiancheng and sat on the chairs.They have been with Li Jiancheng for a long time, so they naturally like Li Jiancheng's temperament.However, Li Jiancheng is benevolent and generous, they still have to abide by their duties as subordinates.Even He Qing, whose daughter had a close relationship with Li Jiancheng, did not feel that she was superior to others because of this.She knows that Li Jiancheng gave her what she is today, and she is also very generous. It is because of her ability to help Li Jiancheng that she has reached this point, not because of Qin Yao's mother.

"Today everyone is gathered here for one purpose only, and that is to arrest merchants in Chang'an City who sell commodities such as salt and iron to the Turks. Remember, no matter what background these merchants have in the court, don't let them go. Well, you guys go do what you have to do!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Qin Hu, Yang Wei, Song Wen, Sha Bao, and Sha Liang heard about Li Jiancheng's position, and they clasped fists to Li Jiancheng, who was sitting on the main seat, and left.Before Li Jiancheng came, He Qing had already informed several people of the discussion with Li Jiancheng last night, and they knew what to do next, so there was no need for Li Jiancheng to tell them anything.

Li Jiancheng is really relieved to have such a good helper as He Qing.

"Jiangcheng, I never thought that these businessmen would sell so many prohibited items to the Turkic people for profit, regardless of the life and death of the people in the Central Plains. Moreover, there are so many people doing this kind of thing. How do you think about dealing with them?"

Li Jiancheng said when the Tang Empire was established that military items such as salt, iron, and grain should not be sold to the Turks.

The Turkic people themselves are sturdy, and if they are assisted by these equipment, they will be even more powerful.What's more, in the Turkic grasslands, there is no such thing as salt. They can only replace it with something containing salt.Food is also a major factor restricting the Turkic population, because food is scarce.Therefore, whenever the Turkic people reached a certain level, wars would start between the various tribes. While robbing food, the population was also reduced.This is caused by the grassland environment, and no one can change it.

However, merchants in the Central Plains also saw the benefits, so they could gain several times the benefits from selling salt, iron, grain, etc. to the Turks.Especially when the war started, these businessmen made a lot of money from the war.

Li Jiancheng also said that before the establishment of the Tang Empire.These things are all as if they didn't happen.but.After the establishment of the Tang Empire, Li Jiancheng would not be polite if this happened again.Unfortunately, for the sake of profit.There are still many businessmen who commit crimes against the wind.

Just like when Li Jiancheng went to [War God Temple] before, he met him once.Although the caravan is from the Cai family in Taiyuan.but.Li Jiancheng believes that not only the Cai family in Taiyuan is doing this kind of thing, but many others have just not been discovered.

Therefore, before entering the savannah.Li Jiancheng spread the news to Chang'an City and asked He Qing to send a large number of intelligence personnel to search.After searching for such a period of time, He Qing had completed Li Jiancheng's task, and was shocked at the same time. She never thought that these businessmen would dare to do anything for profit.

It's just that there are too many businessmen involved this time, and He Qing feels a little difficult to handle.

However, for Li Jiancheng, there is nothing difficult to deal with.

"Since they want to seek death, the prince will help them." Li Jiancheng stood up from the seat with a cold expression on his face.

"This…"[

He Qing was a little shocked. Could it be that Li Jiancheng decided to kill all these businessmen?Not to mention the consequences would have a great impact on Li Jiancheng's reputation.He Qing's husband was also a soldier and died in the war with the Turks. She also hated the behavior of these businessmen.

However, if the impact on Li Jiancheng is too great, she thinks it is better to deal with it lightly.However, seeing Li Jiancheng's expression, He Qing knew that it would be useless to dissuade him.

……

The north of Chang'an City is where the imperial city is located, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs live in this area. The mansions here are also rewarded by the imperial court. If the official position does not reach the fifth rank or above, it is impossible to live here.Just like a samurai, he was one of the founding heroes, and Li Yuan also rewarded him with a mansion.However, the samurai was not very satisfied with the mansion here. He also bought a mansion in the south of Chang'an City. Although it was much smaller, it was quieter and quieter. Even Li Jiancheng liked it.

Not only samurai, but many ministers in the court also bought mansions in the south of Chang'an City. The mansion rewarded by Li Yuan in the north of the city, they would go there to rest after the early dynasty, or gather there when they had something to do. Generally, they would live there. The mansion on the south side of the city!

The west of Chang'an City is where commoners live, and the houses in this area are relatively old. After all, commoners don't get rewards like officials, or have so much surplus money like businessmen.For them, it is enough for the house to be sheltered from wind and rain, and they have no ability to guarantee the rest.

At the same time, the west of Chang'an City is also where the market is located. Every morning, civilians in the villages near Chang'an would bring some surplus goods here to sell.

In the east of Chang'an City, there are mostly magnificent houses, and most of the people living here are businessmen, and those who can resettle here are relatively wealthy businessmen.

However, at this moment, the entire area in the east of Chang'an City was surrounded by soldiers.

"What's going on here, these big soldiers dare to surround this place?"

"These businessmen are all rich and domineering on weekdays. I heard that there are people from them in the court. Are these big soldiers not afraid of death?"

"Old Wang, I think we should stop watching the excitement. If something happens, who should we talk to?"

"Old Liu, what you said is very true, let's go!"

The east of Chang'an City was surrounded by soldiers in broad daylight, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.Of course, there are also some people who are afraid of getting into trouble, feel that this place is a place of right and wrong, and pull their relatives and friends away from here.However, the people of the Huaxia nation have always been a nation that likes to watch. After some people left, there are still many people watching.

"According to the order of the crown prince, the Zhang family, Xu family, Liu family, Xu family, Wang family...the above thirteen families will be arrested for liaising with foreigners. Anyone who resists will be shot!"

Qin Hu, Yang Wei, Song Wen, Sha Bao, and Sha Liang stood at the front, and behind them were the twelve city gate captains of Chang'an City.

Chang'an City is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, unlike other places where there are officials such as sheriffs and governors.There is also a position in Chang'an City, Jing Zhaoyin.But this position is actually a false one. After all, Jing Zhaoyin is not very useful in Chang'an City, a place where you can meet third- and fourth-rank officials when you go out.Jing Zhaoyin is also the chief commander of Chang'an Outline. Originally, this position was held by Li Jiancheng, but this guy is a lazy guy, and then it fell to Li Shimin.

Apart from Jing Zhaoyin, he is the captain of the city gate, in charge of the city defense of Chang'an City.Of course, there are yamen servants in the city, but those yamen servants are only responsible for maintaining law and order in the city.To encircle the east of Chang'an City, it is natural to use the soldiers and horses of the city gate captain.

The purpose of mobilizing the twelve city gate captains was originally to ask for Jing Zhaoyin's order, but they were just officials in Chang'an City.Quite a reason.You have to listen to Li Jiancheng's orders. Even if the emperor is here, you don't want to mobilize the city gate captain without Jing Zhaoyin's order, but this doesn't apply to Li Jiancheng at all.

so.I heard that Qin Hu and the five were sent by Li Jiancheng.These twelve city gate captains.Regardless of rotation.Still resting at home, and immediately dispatched.As for surrounding the entire east of Chang'an City, they didn't hesitate at all.Perhaps even if they were asked to surround the palace, they would not hesitate at all.

"It's unlikely that these businessmen have fornicated with foreigners, right?"

"That's right, they are all so rich, how could they go for an affair with a foreign race? Wouldn't they be wronged?"

"That's not necessarily true. If it wasn't for the aliens, how could they get so much money!"

"Brother Tai's words are reasonable, but these businessmen have backers in the court, so I'm afraid it will not be so easy to solve."

"This statement is wrong. If you didn't listen to the order from the crown prince, how could those ministers be older than the crown prince?"

As soon as Qin Hu told the reason for the siege here, the common people talked a lot, and all kinds of speculations came one after another.There are good and bad, it's different anyway.

However, the comments of the common people could not hinder the actions of the officers and soldiers, and the members of the thirteen merchant families that were quickly read were all arrested in front of Qin Hu and five people.Of course, it is impossible to capture all the people. After all, these businessmen will not stay at home, and most of them still have to deal in goods outside.

"My lord, you are wronged, how dare the grassroots have an affair with a foreign race!"

"That's right, your lord has given us so much courage that we don't dare to have an affair with a foreign race!"

"My lord, Caomin is just a businessman in his own right. The court asked us to pay all the taxes and money in time. It is absolutely impossible to have an affair with a foreigner!"

"My lord, I am wronged, my lord..."

These captured businessmen had dozens or even hundreds of people in their families, all kneeling on the street together, which was very spectacular.Especially when there are so many people shouting their injustices, anyone within a kilometer can hear them.

"Shut up! If there is any more loud noise, you will be beaten with fifty sticks!"

Qin Hu stared, his eyes slowly sweeping over these people.How many thieves and bandits Qin Hu killed, how can these businessmen who are used to affluent life be able to resist the chill from his eyes?Hearing Qin Hu's voice, they all shut their mouths obediently after a while.

"Zhang Datong of the Zhang family, under the protection of Zhang Erniu, the leader of the guards at home, and 25 guards, escorted [-] catties of salt and [-] catties of grain to trade with the Turks [-] days ago; Zhang Dameng, [-] days ago, ten guards at home Under the guardianship of the government, four hundred catties of salt and one thousand one hundred catties of grain were traded with Tubo; Zhang Huize, [-] days ago..."

"Xu Shengchang from the Xu family, under the protection of Xu Dakai, the head of the guards at home, and 29 guards before the 350th, escorted 22 short knives and [-] catties of iron to trade with the Turks; Next, escort three hundred short knives and two thousand five hundred catties of iron to trade with Tubo; Xu Shengqian, fifteen days ago..."

"The Liu family..."

"The Xu family..."

"The Wang family..."

Qin Hu unfolded the evidence in his hand, and read out one by one. Those whose names were read suddenly turned pale, and lost six of their seven souls.And those guards who were named were also terrified.At this moment, Qin Hu has the evidence in his hands. The crime of adultery with foreign races can range from death penalty to ransacking the family and exterminating the family. Who wouldn't be afraid!

"My lord, this matter has nothing to do with me. They did it. My lord, we are innocent!"

"Your Excellency is wronged. I don't know about this matter. Who knew they would do those outrageous things!"

"My lord, we are innocent, my lord, we have been wronged!"

At this time, those whose names were not read shouted Gu one after another, and those whose names were called were mercilessly abandoned by them.This is the businessman, and it is most appropriate to describe them as "flying separately in the face of disaster".

"I didn't expect these businessmen to have adulterous relations with foreigners. They are really a group of people who only have interests!"

"These businessmen are really hateful. They should kill all of them for cheating with foreigners!"

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise enough to wipe out all these businessmen who have illicit relationships with foreigners!"

"His Royal Highness is wise!"

Seeing Qin Hu present the evidence and read it out, and those merchants were biting each other, and the surrounding people also knew that these merchants had indeed fornicated foreigners, and they all showed a look of disgust at the moment.Scholars, farmers, industry, merchants, the status of merchants is already low, and now such a thing is happening, which is even more contemptible.

"Whether you are guilty or not, His Royal Highness will find out. The innocent people will give him justice, but don't let any guilty person slip through the net!"

Qin Hu looked at these businessmen who were grumbling loudly, and said viciously.The five Qin and Hu were originally soldiers of Taiyuan, and they had also experienced Turkic siege wars, and they knew the bravery of Turkic people very well.Therefore, there is no good opinion of these businessmen who sell military supplies to Turks.

"Come here, put all these people in prison and wait for His Royal Highness to deal with them."

"Decree!" (to be continued...)
