Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 299 Gao Shilian: What a good boy!

Outside Chang'an City.

A caravan was slowly coming along the official road.

The line was very long. From a distance, it looked like a long dragon, stretching for hundreds of meters.

There was a sign hanging on every carriage of the caravan with only one word on it: GOLD!

Seeing this, passers-by on the official road retreated to the sides and looked at the long caravan curiously.

As the caravan approached the city gate, its speed gradually slowed down.

Noticing that the speed was slowing down, Jin Yong opened the car curtain and looked towards the Chang'an City ahead.

came back!
finally come back!
Jin Yong was filled with emotion, as if he had finally returned to Chang'an after being exiled for several years.

This time, he not only brought many good players from Jiangnan, but also brought back hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. These were his achievements in Jiangnan. If the young master saw this silver, he would definitely be very happy.

"Whose caravan is this? Why are there so many people?"

"Didn't you see the sign with golden characters on it? It should be owned by Jiangnan Jin."

"Manager Jin?"

"Never heard of it."

"Jiangnan Grocery Store, you haven't heard of it? This is a big business that is in demand in Jiangnan and even Lingnan..."

The pedestrians gathered at the city gate waiting for inspection couldn't help but whisper to each other after seeing the caravan brought by Jin Yong.

In the eyes of many traveling merchants, grocery stores are like gods.

Relying on its inexpensive and high-quality gadgets, it has carved out a Roman road among the many chambers of commerce in Jiangnan.

Not only that, the expansion speed of grocery stores is particularly astonishing.

However, in just four or five months, it spread from Jiangnan Road to Lingnan Road, and compared with Jiangnan Road, grocery stores were particularly popular in Lingnan Road.

Especially the free medical consultation service has made the grocery store very popular among the people.

After the inspection, the caravan slowly entered Chang'an City.

at the same time.

The news of Jin Yong's arrival in Chang'an City was delivered to the Prince's residence.

"Sir, Jin Yong has arrived in Chang'an."

Sun Qiang reported the matter to Su Chen with a smile on his face.

Before, he and Jin Yong were the bodyguards beside Su Chen, but since Jin Yong went to Jiangnan Road, he was the only one left.

Now, Jin Yong has returned...

Wouldn't Boss Jin invite him to have some fun at Nishang Building?
"Oh, I see."

Su Chen nodded, "You and Xue Li go pick him up and arrange the personnel."

"clear."

Sun Qiang smiled and nodded.

Jin Yong brought a lot of useful people with him this time, and these people need to be well arranged.

After a stick of incense.

Jin Yong followed Sun Qiang and the others back to Taiziju.

"Son!"

Jin Yong looked excited.

Su Chen looked at Jin Yong with a smile. Dressed in gorgeous clothes, he looked like a successful man.

"You're doing pretty well in Jiangnan."

"Thanks to you, Master."

Jin Yong grinned, "Sir, I have prepared a lot of gifts for you this time!"

clap clap!

Jin Yong clapped his hands, and several burly men came in dragging boxes of gifts.

Jin Yong opened the introductions one by one.

"Sir, this is a night-shining pearl from the depths of the East China Sea. It is very rare in the world. This is a talisman I got from Lingnan. It is said to be very effective..."

After just a quick glance, Su Chen lost interest, waved his hand to interrupt Jin Yong and asked, "How many people did you bring?"

Jin Yong's face straightened, and he waved his hand, and the box was carried away: "This time we brought back a total of 600 people, they are loyal and reliable."

"In addition to these six hundred people, most of the silver and money obtained in Jiangnan during this period were brought back, totaling 376,000 taels of silver."

"Although the money is not much, it is also my achievement in Jiangnan."

"More than 370,000 silver pieces?"

Sun Qiang and Xue Li both looked shocked.

He has only been working in Jiangnan for a short time, yet he has earned so much money!
No wonder people say that Jiangnan is prosperous, there is a reason for it.

Su Chen nodded, "Not a small amount, more than I expected."

Jin Yong grinned and said, "The money has been delivered to Wenxianglai. Su Wang will be responsible for delivering the money to the warehouse."

Su Chen: "Sit down."

"Thank you, sir."

Jin Yong thanked him and took a seat.

"Tell me about the situation in Jiangnan Road."

"it is good!"

Jin Yong nodded, and then proceeded to describe in detail, bit by bit, the development of the grocery store in Jiangnan Road.

With the assistance of Boss Ding, Boss Jin, and the prince's father-in-law, the grocery store developed extremely rapidly.

However, the grocery store soon encountered a certain degree of resistance in the two Jiangnan roads.

After all, the things in the grocery store were too cheap, which caused a certain impact on other businesses.

Thanks to Su Tan's identity, the connections of the two bosses Ding and Jin, and the reputation the grocery store has accumulated among the people, the matter was resolved smoothly.

Not only that, after this incident, the development of the grocery store was even more terrifying. It quickly spread to Lingnan Road like autumn wind blowing fallen leaves.

Lingnan Road has been known as a marginal and exile place since ancient times, and its people are fierce and extremely xenophobic.

At first, the people in Lingnan Road were still a little resistant, but when the grocery store's free medical consultation spread in Lingnan Road, the low-priced goods, medicinal materials, free medical consultation and good service attitude immediately won the recognition of the people in Lingnan Road.

The development speed far exceeds that of Jiangnan Road.

However, in just one month, dozens of grocery stores were opened in Lingnan Road.

He and Jin Yong even joked that if they didn't do well in the future and were exiled to Lingnan by His Majesty, with these grocery stores, they would not have to worry about having a place to stay.

Sun Qiang glared angrily: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, you will be exiled to Lingnan!"

Is it enough to just do business well? Why do you have to bring up things like exile?

Exiled to Lingnan?

Only the devil wants to go to that place!

“A lot has definitely changed during this time.”

Su Chen looked at Jin Yong with a smile, "I think you brought people back this time because you knew what I was going to do."

Jin Yong nodded, "Whatever you want to do, I, Jin Yong, will do it!"

Su Chen: "Don't worry, I will inform you when the prince makes any move."

"Aqiang."

"Son."

"Jin Yong has been traveling a long way, so I ordered people to prepare a dinner to welcome him."

"Yes."

……

Prince Qi's Mansion.

Led by the maid, Yin Hongzhi came to Li You.

"Go back."

The maid bowed and retreated.

Yin Hongzhi sighed, "Your Majesty, the assassination plan won't work." "Why?"

Li You frowned and looked over.

Yesterday, Li You learned from Li Tai that Su Chen actually possessed a large amount of explosives, and that they were taken to Persia by his subordinate Wang Xuance. After solving the trouble in Persia, Li You knew that he could become like this thanks to the prince and Su Chen!
In anger, Li You found Yin Hongzhi and discussed with him how to kill Su Chen when there was no guards to protect him!
If I can’t kill the prince, can I kill you?
Yin Hongzhi: "Today, Jin Yong from Jiangnan Grocery Store is back."

"Jiangnan Grocery Store?"

Li You looked confused.

Yin Hongzhi nodded, "This person followed Su Chen earlier, just like Sun Qiang, to protect his safety."

"Later, for some reasons, Su Chen arranged for me to go to Jiangnan to do business."

"It is said that when he returned from Jiangnan this time, he not only brought dozens of carts full of silver, both large and small, but also a group of strong guards!"

"We only have a hundred or so soldiers available now. It will be difficult to assassinate him!"

After several losses, Li You really doesn’t have many people he can use now!

Now, Su Chen is surrounded by strong soldiers and horses. If their assassins go to assassinate Su Chen, not only will the chances be slim, but they may even lose the last bit of their strength, which is not worth the loss.

Li You clenched his fists and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

Yin Hongzhi's face changed, and he hurriedly came forward with tea, patting Li You on the back, "Calm down, don't get excited!"

"call……"

After drinking the tea, Li You let out a breath of anger and his complexion improved slightly.

"So, we have no chance?"

"At least it is not suitable for assassination operations at the moment!"

Yin Hongzhi said helplessly: "The King of Wei has already started planning to impeach the Crown Prince, so it would be better to let him live for a few days."

"Once your majesty returns to the palace and takes the position of Crown Prince Regent, it will be much easier to deal with Su Chen."

Without the prince's protection, they have more means to use, including but not limited to assassination!

Li You nodded after thinking for a while, "Then let him live for a few days!"

"By the way, has there been any news from Jiucheng Palace?"

"The Concubine Yin did send a message that Your Majesty is very satisfied with the Crown Prince's regent. In addition, a few days ago, the Crown Prince sent Your Majesty some thick clothes because the weather was getting colder. Your Majesty and the others loved them very much, so the day of returning to Chang'an was not mentioned."

"Cotton coat?"

"Yes."

Yin Hongzhi nodded, "I heard that Du He was making these things. Those sent to the palace and Jiucheng Palace were all specially made."

Li You snorted coldly: "He can delay it for a while, but not forever!"

"As the weather turns colder, Your Majesty will definitely return to Chang'an City. It's just a matter of time."

"Your Majesty Ming Jian."

……

East Palace.

Li Chengqian stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face: "Why did you come here without informing me?"

Gao Shilian said expressionlessly: "Your Highness has done a great job."

Li Chengqian didn't understand what he meant. He pulled Gao Shilian to sit down, filled the cup of tea himself and handed it to him.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Gao Shilian said coldly: "With your current reputation and the impression you have on the officials, you only need to wait for His Majesty to abdicate. Why are you acting so rashly?!"

Li Chengqian immediately understood, "It was Sun Fujia who went to my uncle's house and told him about the explosives?"

Gao Shilian: "If he hadn't told me the truth, how long would you have kept it a secret from me?"

Li Chengqian didn't care: "Actually, my uncle should have understood it a long time ago."

"When I agreed to Su Chen's plan to build a merchant protection team, I had already made this arrangement. I just didn't have the opportunity to verify their combat effectiveness."

"Persia's request for assistance is just an opportunity to train and verify our troops."

"You are confused!"

Gao Shilian was furious. "You're just going to give up such a good situation like this?"

In Gao Shilian's opinion, Li Chengqian's performance during this period has been recognized by all the ministers.

This is undoubtedly the best thing for Li Chengqian.

As long as His Majesty abdicates, he, as the crown prince, will ascend to the throne of emperor without any dispute.

However, at this critical moment, a group of elite soldiers suddenly appeared under Li Chengqian's command, and they were elite soldiers equipped with powerful weapons!

No emperor would tolerate such a thing happening!
"Uncle, please be patient."

Li Chengqian comforted Gao Shilian with a smile, saying calmly: "Whether you do it or not, it has already become a fact. Even if your uncle talks about it to the sky, it can't change it."

Ugh……

Gao Shilian sighed, "You are so confused!"

"Su Chen has always been full of tricks, but now he has made a mess!"

Li Chengqian smiled and said nothing.

a long time.

Gao Shilian picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked slowly, "How confident are you?"

Li Chengqian grinned and said, "About 70% to 80%."

Gao Shilian: “???”

Seventy or eighty percent?
Are you kidding me? !

Gao Shilian's face was stern: "This is a serious matter that could cost you your life. Don't talk nonsense."

Li Chengqian said softly: "If you don't believe it, just wait and see."

Gao Shilian was silent.

He found that he had really relaxed his care for Li Chengqian during this period of time.

So much so that he and Li Chengqian secretly gathered such a powerful force that was enough to force His Majesty to abdicate!
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life..."

"Uncle, Father is old."

Li Chengqian interrupted Gao Shilian with a smile, "Since the Tubo came to marry, I knew that my father no longer had the ambition he had in the past."

Gao Shilian's mouth twitched, what a good boy.

"How are you going to deal with the King of Wei?"

"Uncle, I am the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, why are you holding on to me?"

Gao Shilian nodded in satisfaction and said thoughtfully, "What if he keeps holding on to me?"

Li Chengqian was silent for a moment, "I am not the Crown Prince Yin!"

Gao Shilian sighed and understood what Li Chengqian meant.

Prince Hidden.

The prince died before he ascended the throne!
Li Chengqian naturally would not be the second one.

"Actually, even if my uncle didn't come today, I would still go to visit him."

Li Chengqian smiled and told the maid to bring the prepared cotton-padded jacket over. "This is the cotton-padded jacket that I asked Du He to order specially for me to send to my uncle's mansion."

"I heard about it."

Gao Shilian just took a look and lost interest.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "My uncle is old. When it gets cold, his legs and feet become numb and he can't move."

"This cotton coat not only has an excellent warming effect, but I also made a few leggings specially for my uncle."

"When the weather gets cold, my uncle can wear leggings, which can greatly relieve the numbness in his legs and feet."

This time, Gao Shilian picked up the cotton coat and leggings, checked them, and nodded with a smile: "You put in a lot of effort."

"It should."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "It's rare for my uncle to come to the East Palace. How about I take him back after lunch?"

"Alright."
