Chapter 38: My Children (Part 2)

Gao Yanfu's ears moved quickly, like a wild cat frightened while sleeping. Then, he quickly relaxed again, continued to look at his nose and his nose, and made his clay sculptures and wood sculptures.

You can't control too much unless he dislikes his long life. In addition, he and Zhang Qian do not have such a deep friendship. What's more, sending the Hundred Cavalry secretly supervises ministers with unknown origin or special location is the warning that the royal family should have. Zhang Qian just took all the two points of "unknown origin" and "special location".

However, he didn't want to hear what Zheng Kejun, deputy general manager of Baiqisi, said uncontrollably into his ears: "Speaking to the emperor, Zhang Shaojian's family has not yet recruited a single outsider. Baiqisi also accepted the emperor's instructions and did not install anyone in his family. But recently, a student from the government school was listening to Baiqisi, and his family happened to live near Zhang Shaojian's village. Therefore, the last general asked him to pay more attention to the movements there."

"Well! Is this person related to Zhang Shaojian?" Li Xian's words came immediately, with rare caution and vigilance.

"No!" Zheng Kejun's answer almost immediately followed Li Xian's question, and it was completely clear. "That Zhuangzi was a wealthy merchant named Ren Qiong transferred it to Zhang Shaojian in order to thank him for saving his life. Zhang Shaojian had never shown up near Zhuangzi before. However, the last time he listened to the new development, he moved to Renjiazhuang with his parents two years ago."

"Yeah!" Li Xian finally confirmed that the Baiqisi people were not deliberately saying good things for Zhang Qian, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's a pity, the Zhang family boy will be in trouble in the future!" Gao Yanfu's ears moved gently again, and a little sympathy suddenly surged for Zhang Qian.

The students of the Tang Dynasty official school have always been the most loyal group to the royal family and the most unscrupulous group. They will regard any words they think may be unfavorable to the royal family as illegitimate plots. They will also regard any behavior that does not meet the moral standards of officials such as embezzlement, bribery, lust, and oppression of neighbors as a disaster.

In short, before the student in Zhangjiazhuang "listening" grew up completely, or understood the four words "no one is perfect", any "extraordinary" actions by Zhang Qian will be quickly sent to the emperor's desk through the Baiqisi. Unless, unless Zhang Qian can make these "extraordinary" actions, he will not leave his own courtyard!

However, if you come from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty royal family, Zheng Kejun's newly developed "study" would be the best. If you want to eat the food of Baiqisi, you can have poor skills, but your loyalty to the royal family must be absolutely guaranteed. If you can also add your passion and hate evil in addition to the quality of loyalty, it will be perfect!

Of course, if Zhang Qian was sincere to the country and had noble morals, he was monitored by such a "snooping" nearby, perhaps it might not be a bad thing. It would help him gain the trust and appreciation of the emperor faster, and even reach the top.

This situation like today is a very good example. Although Zhang Qian beat people, after only a few hours, he was "studyed" by the new member of the Baiqisi and passed on to the emperor's desk. However, the words Zhang Qian said when he beat people fell into the emperor's ears with a clear margin.

In Gao Yanfu's opinion, every sentence of those words came to the heart of Emperor Yingtian's Dragon. Therefore, it is not surprising that Emperor Yingtian's Dragon was cautious, who suspected that the people in the Baiqisi had been discovered and bought by Zhang Qian, and said good things specifically for him.

Once it was confirmed that the people from Baiqisi did not secretly colluded with Zhang Qian. What Zhang Qian said when he beat people was too fond of Emperor Yingtian's Dragon. It was even twice as effective than flattering the emperor in person.

Sure enough, before he could finish his secret praise in his heart, "The stupid boy is lucky." The voice of Emperor Yingtian Shenlong Li Xian had already sounded in the imperial study again, with every word and a false appreciation, "Mr. Zheng, I promised to give the house to the meritorious minister of the Military Arts Supervision. Has the Hundred Cavalry Office been found?"

"If you go back to the emperor, you will have nine houses vacated. One Qizhengfang, one Jinchengfang. Two Puning, Changle, Shengye and Yiningfang." Zheng Kejun, deputy general manager of the Baiqi Department, did a very good job and reported the result without thinking."

"Forget it, the people living in the throne are either founding dukes or the ministers. Zhang Shaojian will definitely not feel comfortable when they move in rashly." Li Xian smiled and gave the order very considerately. Leave the houses of Jinchengfang for him. In each of the houses of the other four houses, just leave one other meritorious ministers for the Military Arts Supervisor. You will transfer all the land deeds to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow, and they will arrange them for me. You cannot give too much at once, otherwise my rewards will not be worth cherishing!"

"Abide by the order!" Zheng Kejun bowed and agreed loudly.

"What are the people's feelings in Jingjin and Luoyang recently? How are there so many people who believe in Buddhism?" Li Xian thought for a while, and asked casually.

"It's finally time to be the main topic. The emperor's patience is so good!" Gao Yanfu's ears moved at an amplitude that was almost impossible to see with his naked eyes, and he listened quietly.

"The emperor said that after the capital and Luoyang, the rain was very frequent after the winter, and the houses were mostly damaged. Fortunately, this winter was quite warm, and the court gave the people windmills and wells in time to reduce the flooding in the city. Therefore, the people's sentiment has become much more stable compared to previous years. As for those who believe in Buddhism, the city has decreased in Chang'an, but in the Luoyang..." Zheng Kejun hesitated for a moment and began to carefully consider the words.

"What's wrong with Luoyang? Just say it!" Li Xian keenly noticed his caution, looked up and gave him an encouraging look, and gave him a smile.

"Yes, Master!" It seemed that he had the courage immediately. Zheng Kejun no longer hesitated and reported the situation truthfully when he observed the Hundred Riders. "Princess Changning built a temple, which had just begun, covering an area, east, west, south, and one yard each. On the day of the foundation laying, 108 monks chanted scriptures on the spot. It was said that sweet rain came from the sky and the image of Buddha appeared in the clouds!"

"Nonsense!" Li Xian was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, and he almost slapped the imperial book directly.

It’s not that he was angry. There were only 108 arches in the entire Chang'an City (later turned into 109). The plan of Luoyang City was almost exactly the same as that of Chang'an. Taking out the land of four arches to build a temple, the size of the temple is probably comparable to that of one quarter of the imperial palace!

Such a grand temple suddenly broke ground in Luoyang City. "Empressive monks" from all over the Tang Dynasty would of course rush over like flies that smelled smell of stinky fish. In addition, the entire Luoyang City would gather bald heads in a blink of an eye!

If this matter was done by someone else, Emperor Yingtian Shenlong could take the opportunity to make use of it, or even find a mistake to capture all the so-called monks in one go. The one who led the matter was his biological fourth daughter, Princess Changning. This made him unable to avoid being afraid of the mouse!

Building a temple of such a large scale would probably cost more than 100 million yuan. Where did this money come from? Didn’t it rely on selling official positions? The reason why the emperor turned a blind eye to the joint venture between Empress Wei and several princesses was to quickly establish a force that competed with the Wu family and the Li family’s own clan.

That money is used to do things and to consolidate the throne. To put it bluntly, if he dies due to a heart problem one day, it is used to protect Empress Wei, the prince and the princess themselves. Instead of letting Empress Wei and the princess spend all the wealth they have accumulated on the useless bald man! (Note: Li Xian must have been less. Princess Changning was later kicked out of Luoyang and sold the materials in the house for 2 billion yuan. If it is converted into Xiaomi, the purchasing power is 20 billion yuan.)

"Gao Yanfu, send someone to pass on my oral order to Changning and stop work immediately. Otherwise, get out of Luoyang and go wherever you love." He suppressed his anger in his heart, and Li Xian's decision finally rushed out of his mouth. Almost every word was like a false bag and exchanged disappointment.

"I obey the order!" Gao Yanfu immediately became as quick as an eagle from the clay sculpture and wood sculpture. He stepped forward a few steps and bowed to take the order.

"Is it related to Changning the monk who went to Zhang Shaojian Mansion today?" He waved his hand to signal Gao Yanfu to do things. Li Xian rubbed his temples and continued to ask with a tired face.

The fourth daughter is worried if she is not worried. She has already married the Yang family. In a few years, when her position is stable, she will stop the release of the Semi-Chief Official, which will cut off her nonsense.

The expected response has not arrived for a long time. Li Xian refused to open his eyes and glared at Zheng Kejun, "Say, why don't you say it anymore? Could it be that you Baiqisi can't even find out where a monk came from?"

"The Master Qizhao, I found it!" Zheng Kejun did not dare to hide it. While lifting his sleeves to wipe his sweat, he responded in a very low voice, "Then, the monk's name is Hui'an, from the White Horse Zhaojue Courtyard next to Kunming Pool. Princess Anle, Princess Anle, enshrines him as his master."

"What did you say?" Li Xian stood up suddenly, and in an instant, stars appeared in front of him.

Princess Anle is his seventh daughter! When she was born, she was in trouble. Therefore, this daughter was almost raised by him, which added a lot of fun to his house arrest.

This daughter has been sensible since she was a child. In order to help him win over the Wu family, she took the initiative to marry Wu Sansi's son. This year, Wu Sansi and his son were killed by soldiers. Princess Anle happened to escape from the palace, but afterwards, she did not complain. She still went to the palace to visit her parents every few days and colorful clothes to entertain her relatives.

He thought that his daughter was the same age as Zhang Qian, and Zhang Qian had no parents in the hall, so he could form a good marriage. The princess also saw Zhang Qian and felt that her appearance and ability were very suitable. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian was not lucky and insisted on keeping her trustworthy waiting for her junior sister to come and meet.

"Not that I am lucky, I clearly heard some rumors in advance!" After trying hard to stand firm, Li Xian did not let himself show any weakness. However, the heart hurt like a needle.

When Gao Yanfu secretly relayed Zhang Qian's response to him yesterday, he laughed at Zhang Qian for not knowing how good the opportunity he missed. But now, he suddenly realized that it was not that Zhang Qian missed a good opportunity, but that in order to dispel his idea of ​​giving him a marriage, this boy deliberately found a beautiful excuse!

The widowed princess raised a beautiful little monk as her master. When the master heard that the princess’ marriage was fruitless, he actually took the initiative to hit the man’s door and vent his anger for the princess!

This is better than making money to build a temple, at least it will not ruin the reputation of the royal family!

I, I must cut the thief into pieces. Otherwise, it would not be enough to vent my hatred.
Chapter completed!
