Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations Your Majesty!"

Everyone said.

Then, Wang Gui said: "Your Majesty, there are rumors in Chang'an City that the Huoyan Mountain belongs to Ping Xibo and Chen Chu's fief. Now, gold mines have been found in Huoyan Mountain, and the gold mines also belong to Ping Xibo. , very inappropriate... The gold mine is related to the stability of the country and the stability of the country. Ping Xibo Chen Chu has already obtained a large number of fiefdoms. If he takes the gold mine as his own again, I am afraid that he will feel disobedient. I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to take back the Huoyan Mountain and hand over the gold mines to the imperial court for mining. In this way, it can not only increase the income of the imperial court, but also deter Ping Xibo, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone..."

"Seconded!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Everyone said.

Li Er frowned and said, "My dear friends, but I promised Chen Chu that all his fiefdoms would be handled by him. Now, isn't it a bit inhumane to take back Huoyan Mountain?"

Gao Shilian said loudly: "Your Majesty, is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's subject on the shore of the land, even if the Huoyan Mountain belongs to Ping Xibo's fiefdom, it is still His Majesty's land, and His Majesty wants to take it back. Ping Xibo thinks it is impossible." If he disagrees, besides, isn't he worried that people in the world will accuse him of disobedience?"

Li Er thought for a while, and said, "Since that's the case, let the Ministry of Zhongshu draw up an order and announce it to the world."

Before the words were finished, a figure ran in from outside.

It was Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin.

Lao Cheng looked excited, with a smile that he couldn't hide.

As soon as he came in, Cheng Yaojin greeted him, and then he couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, old Cheng is going to ask for leave..."

leave?

Li Er asked: "Zhijie, are you sick?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head: "That's not true..."

Li Er asked again: "Then why did you ask for leave?"

Cheng Yaojin chuckled: "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, old Cheng, I plan to go to Shanzhou Huoyan Mountain to dig gold mines. Time is running out. I'm about to start. It can be three or five months at least, or a few years at most. Please Your Majesty approve."

After he finished speaking, Li Er and the others were all stunned.

Which song is this?

……

Chapter 313

Everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin in surprise.

Changsun Wuji asked: "Cheng Zhijie, what do you mean by this? His Majesty is about to decree that the gold mine in Huoyan Mountain in Shanzhou be owned by the imperial court, and the imperial court will mine it in the future. When will you be allowed to mine it..."

"Yes, General Cheng, are you trying to get rich and crazy?"

"Even if the imperial court doesn't take it back, the Huoyan Mountain still belongs to Ping Xibo. You really think that Chen Chu is willing to let you mine it. It is said that the Western Datang Company has guarded the Huoyan Mountain so that not even a bird can fly in it... ..."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed.

Everyone was laughing at Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly, and said angrily: "You know what a fart...Ping Xibo Chen Chu, my fifth younger brother, has already announced that the reserves of gold mines in Huoyan Mountain are astonishing. Although it belongs to his fief, he He didn't dare to mine alone, so, in order to benefit the people, he decided to open the Flame Mountain. From now on, as long as the people of Datang can mine by themselves... Lao Cheng, I am also a person of Datang, and I have prepared a few Hundreds of people, just wait for His Majesty to allow me to ask for leave, and I will take people to the Flame Mountain immediately. My fifth brother said that everyone has the opportunity to mine, but if you go late, there will be no place..."

As he said that, he looked impatiently at Li Er: "Your Majesty, Lao Cheng, I am a rough man, and I have nothing to do in court, so just treat me as a fart and let me go."

Li Er: "..."

But the other ministers were crazy.

Wang Gui hurriedly stood up and said angrily: "Your Majesty, this move by Ping Xibo is to hand over the imperial court's money to others. It's unreasonable, it's simply unreasonable. Please issue an order immediately to let Ping Xibo take back what he announced, and let him take it back." It is decreed that Li Ji, the head of the Hexi Road Army, will take over the Huoyan Mountain immediately, and no one will be allowed to mine the gold mines of the Huoyan Mountain..."

But after Wang Gui finished speaking, no one responded to him.

Everyone stopped talking.

Now, everyone has their own thoughts.

If the Huoyan Mountain is taken back, the gold mine will belong to the imperial court.

If they don't take it back, according to Chen Chu's method, the people of Tang Dynasty can go to mine gold mines, if Cheng Yaojin can go, so can I.

Comparing the two, many people feel that it is better not to take it back.

For a while, no one in Ganlu Hall spoke.

Everyone looked at Li Er eagerly.

Li Er thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Oh, that's all, since Chen Chu has already made a decision, if the court makes another decree, I'm afraid it will lose its prestige. Since the people of Datang can mine, then... the Ministry of Civil Affairs will also Send someone to mine."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Dai Zhou, Minister of Civil Affairs, hastily agreed.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

The crowd said in unison.

Changsun Wuji got up suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, I had a bad stomach yesterday, so I will take my leave first."

With that, he ran away.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I... I suddenly have a back pain, I want to go back and ask the doctor to take a look, and I will leave."

"Your Majesty, I feel the wind and cold."

"Chen's leg suddenly cramped!"

For a while, the ministers found reasons to leave.

As for Cheng Yaojin, he had already left.

Looking at all the colleagues who left, Wang Gui was a little dazed.

Because he is the only minister left in Ganlu Hall.

Wang Gui stood there, at a loss, when he heard Li Er say, "Wang Aiqing, you can go too, I'm going to rest."

"Old minister retire!"

Wang Gui just left.

Not long after he left, Empress Changsun came in.

Empress Changsun said straight to the point: "Second brother, my concubine heard that Chen Chu opened the gold mine of Huoyanshan to the mining of the whole world, and my second brother also agreed. This matter, my concubine thinks it is inappropriate..."

Li Er laughed and said, "Guanyin maid, do you think that Chen Chu is the kind of person who doesn't know the importance? If there is a gold mine in Huoyan Mountain, he will be willing to let the whole world mine it, and he will not go through me. permission?"

Empress Changsun was taken aback: "What does Second Brother mean?"

Li Er pondered and said: "If I think about it carefully, it is full of strange things. This matter will probably not be so simple. After a while, the truth will be revealed! This brat, I feel that he has played too big this time. I was kept in the dark by him, if Zhijie hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have reacted..."

Empress Changsun's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something.

……

At the entrance of Nanshan Mansion.

Several carriages were parked.

Changsun Wuji and others came together to see Chen Chu.

Princess Changle Li Lizhi looked at the crowd and said, "My lords, my husband left Chang'an early this morning and went to Shanzhou..."

Changsun Wuji asked: "May I ask Your Highness, why did Ping Xibo go to Shanzhou?"

Li Lizhi said: "Uncle should be able to guess that my husband went to Shanzhou for the gold mine. Although Shanzhou has His Royal Highness the King of Yue sitting in the town, he was still worried, so he went in person..."

After dismissing everyone, Li Lizhi left.

Fang Xuanling frowned and said, "Everyone, even Chen Chu went to Shanzhou in person. Now it seems that the gold mine incident is true!"

"That's right, the reason why Ping Xibo made the gold mine public so that everyone in the world can mine it was actually because he was worried that the court would take it back. Now, His Majesty will no longer take back the gold mine. If you want to come to a place with many gold mines, it has already been taken away by the West." Datang Company is in possession, let me wait, it is better to send someone there as soon as possible..."

Everyone said.

At this moment, a servant of the Changsun family came galloping on horseback and reported: "My lord, the convoy of Duke Lu's mansion left Chang'an and headed west before a stick of incense. The convoy was huge, with more than 300 people. People, the people at the head are the mansion of Duke Lu and his son Cheng Chubi..."

Cheng Yaojin has set off?

Can't wait any longer.

Changsun Wuji said: "Everyone, I will take my leave first, and I will go back to organize the manpower. This is a big matter. I want to go to Shanzhou myself..."

With that said, he left in a hurry.

Fang Xuanling and others also left one after another.

……

Shanzhou City.

West Datang Corporation Headquarters.

Suddenly the guards became tighter.

The reason was that Chen Chu had arrived.

In a room, Li Tai looked at Chen Chu in surprise: "Why are you here? Could it be that you want to dig a gold mine?"

After eating a bunch of grapes, Chen Chu said, "If I don't come, how can those big families in Chang'an be fooled? How is the situation now?"

Li Tai replied: "According to our information, countless people have already set off from various places in the Tang Dynasty to Shanzhou. Not to mention other places, there are tens of thousands of people in Chang'an alone... Among these people, except for those from various families... The people sent by the big clan, as well as many unarmed civilians, all want to come to the Flame Mountain to dig gold mines and make a fortune... at the latest half a month, the first batch of people will arrive at the Flame Mountain..."

Chen Chu made some calculations in his mind and said, "Roughly, in a month's time, there may be tens of thousands of people flooding into Shanzhou. These people all want to eat, stay, and buy things... Qing Que, You immediately arrange to let the West Datang Company make full preparations, build a place to live near the Flame Mountain, prepare food, and send all the tools that have been built before... This is the West Datang Company It’s a great opportunity to make money.”

Chapter 314 Li Ji Turns His Face

When Chen Chu and Li Tai were talking, Xue Rengui walked in suddenly.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Chen Chu found that Xue Rengui was much more stable.

When he was in Chang'an, Xue Rengui was just a young man who came from the bottom and was somewhat ignorant.

And now, he has become the general of the leading party.

When Xue Rengui saw Chen Chu, he also had mixed feelings in his heart.

He was born in Hedong, originally from a poor family, but only went to Chang'an to make a living. He never expected to be favored by Zhu Neng and others because of the clay he carried with him, and then he became Chen Chu's bodyguard by accident.At first, Xue Rengui refused. After all, he had ambitions everywhere and was unwilling to be just a guard. But later, he found that Chen Chu was completely different from other nobles. are friends.

Just when Xue Rengui thought he would follow Chen Chu for the rest of his life, Chen Chu sent him to Tubo, and then he made meritorious service, stayed in Shanzhou, followed Li Ji to pacify Tuyuhun, made new contributions, and became a general. What he dreamed of was brought to him by Chen Chu.

Without Chen Chu, Xue Rengui would not be where he is today.

In the original history, Xue Rengui, although he finally became famous and left a great reputation, but he went through twists and turns, and his life was not good before becoming famous.

Seeing Chen Chu, Xue Rengui said respectfully, "Boss!"

Chen Chu waved his hands and said, "You are now a mighty general under the command of General Li Ji. There are legends about you everywhere in Chang'an City, and even Your Majesty is full of praise for you... You are from the imperial court, no It's my bodyguard, Chen Chu."

Xue Rengui shook his head, and said with a firm expression: "Without the support of the boss, Xue Li is probably still farming in the east of the river, so how can he make contributions on the battlefield..."

He insisted on calling Chen Chu the boss.

Chen Chu had no choice but to agree.

Xue Rengui said again: "Boss, I am here to invite the boss and His Royal Highness to visit the General's mansion. The general heard that the boss likes chicken, so he specially asked the cook from Chang'an to cook a lot of chicken. ..."

Li Ji invited me?

Chen Chu was taken aback.

Then, he understood what it was.

He and Li Tai looked at each other.

The smart Li Tai got up immediately, and said, "Xue Li, you go and tell the general that the king is going to the Huoyan Mountain and cannot accept the invitation."

With that, he left.

Chen Chu could only follow Xue Rengui to the General's Mansion for a banquet.

As the general manager of the Hexi Road army, Li Ji is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops in Hexi. In addition, he is a popular person in front of Li Er. Therefore, in Hexi, he is a well-deserved boss, like the governor of Lanzhou and the governor of Shanzhou. It all depends on Li Ji's face.

Today, the General's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it was full of joy.

Just to invite Chen Chu.
