The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Prime Minister Fang is right. We are not interested in tea." Du Ruhui smiled and said, "Your Majesty has special tea here. When we ministers come to discuss matters with Your Majesty, we ask for a cup of tea. Your Majesty will not be stingy and refuse to give it to us. Therefore, we do not want to take the special tea sold outside. Moreover, it is very precious outside and must attract people to fight for it."

"Do you want to see how they fight for it?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

Do these important ministers around him like to watch the excitement?

"First, let's see who is competing for it, and second, let's see how far those who are competing to bid can go." Fang Xuanling said: "Since your majesty has been governing the country, there has been turmoil in the court. The original group of people who supported the emperor to seize the world have gradually been arranged to less important positions, but there are still some people who are still entrenched in various confidential positions. Speaking of it, every time the court implements a policy, the resistance it encounters does not come from the officials occupying these positions, but from the aristocratic families behind them."

"But these people are also necessary for the court. They are also talented and irreplaceable for the time being." Du Ruhui said.

"What does this have to do with the auction held by King Jingyang?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"We must first find out the people and financial resources of these aristocratic families in Chang'an City. The more we know, the more we will be able to handle matters in the court in the future." Changsun Wuji said, "Your Majesty, I think the destination of these ten special teas is nothing more than falling into the hands of these people, but this time, it is an open auction, and real money must be paid.

A small box of tea, the price is thousands of strings, you think, they can take thousands of strings without taking it seriously, then how strong are these people's financial resources.

In this case, They also opposed the reduction of rewards at the beginning... After the rebellion of Prince Changle and Prince Yi'an, we all know that there are people who support them behind the scenes. The two kings are dissatisfied in their hearts, but the verbal instigation of others and the fierce opposition of the old officials of the court are also the reasons for their rebellion.

The attitude of these people gave them confidence. When it came to Prince Yi'an Li Xiaochang, he no longer took the emperor seriously... "

The emperor will no longer be the banner of others' rebellion.

"Even if these tea leaves are bought by others, I am afraid that they will still fall into their hands in the end, but the process will be more complicated." Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Even the means..."

Fang Xuanling said half of the words, and let your majesty think about the rest.

They have dealt with aristocratic families for many years, and even these people themselves are from high-ranking families. Everyone knows the shabby things inside.

Fang Xuanling's idea was the same as Li Fu's. It takes money to buy such things.

There are too many rich people in Chang'an City, and there are also many rich people in other places. Even the merchants who come to Chang'an City are all wealthy families.

If you really like this tea, it is not impossible to bid for this special tea gift box with 1,800 strings of cash.

But just because you have money, you may not be able to keep it even if you buy it.

A man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure.

Fang Xuanling's thoughts are even deeper than Li Fu's.

Li Fu just thought that someone would take this thing to ask others to do something big.

But Fang Xuanling's thoughts were simpler and more crude. If he couldn't buy it, others would buy it. In the end, he would think of a way to get the thing without spending money or doing anything.

In the eyes of some people, even human life is not as valuable as that box of tea.

Therefore, Fang Xuanling felt that it was really necessary for him and others to go and take a look.

After listening to what they said, Li Shimin's face became serious.

"In this matter, I will also go out of the palace in plain clothes and go with you." Li Shimin said.

"In this case, we have to say hello to King Jingyang in advance so that he can make arrangements. After all, if we go together, there will be many people in Chang'an who know us. Moreover, those who go to the auction on the day must be people of some status. If we go openly, we will definitely be recognized.

Once people see that His Majesty is also there, the situation may be different again..." Fang Xuanling said.

What he and Changsun Wuji wanted was to observe secretly again.

But if His Majesty also goes, it is not known how the auction will go.What, they are all gathered together... This is not easy to deal with.

"Well, I will ask someone to notify Li Fu later and let him make arrangements in advance." Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin felt that Li Fu was selling those teas in the tea shop. Although the first floor of his tea shop was large, there was really no place to hide when there were too many people. He could only go to the second floor, but the second floor was not connected to the first floor...

If such a grand event was really held, the teahouse opposite would be more suitable than the tea shop.

Li Shimin had been to the teahouse and even spent a lot of money.

The teahouse in the East Market saw off its master and others and began to get busy. The shopkeeper also apologized to everyone and said that he would start to rearrange the venue in the afternoon. There would be activities in the teahouse on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

The curious asked the shopkeeper, it was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year was coming. What activities would the teahouse have? What kind of activities can't wait until after the New Year's Day, when everyone has time to rest?

The shopkeeper smiled and said to everyone.

"Dear guests, please bear with me. The teahouse will hold an auction on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. At that time, there will be ten sets of gift boxes of special tea, which will be sold here. The price will be called on the spot, and the highest bidder will win." The shopkeeper said loudly: "If you are interested, you can enter the teahouse with an invitation. On the 28th, if you don't have an invitation, you may not be able to enter the teahouse. Please don't come in vain if you don't have an invitation on that day."

"Special tea?!"

Everyone in the teahouse was shocked beyond words after hearing these three words.

In the tea shop opposite, the first-grade tea is already sky-high, and special tea? That is something that many people have never heard of!

Wang Fuzhi fell silent.

Special tea, if you can get a set at that time...
