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

Chapter 35 This time I'll see whether you live or die

royal palace.

In the imperial study room.

Li Shimin held the list sent by the prince and fell into deep thought.

The person he proposed, Kong Jijiu, was ranked first on the list and was also the first one crossed out by Li Chengqian.

In addition to Kong Jijiu, there were also Liu Li, Zhangsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others.

If it were just Kong Jijiu, Liu Li and others, Li Shimin could still roughly infer Li Chengqian's thoughts.

In the Chongwen Hall of the Eastern Palace, he arranged court officials who were inclined towards him or worth winning over.

However, Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were also crossed out.

This made Li Shimin a little confused.

Changsun Wuji is Li Chengqian's uncle, and Gao Shilian is Li Chengqian's great-uncle. Although Changsun Wuji is not as supportive of Li Chengqian as Gao Shilian, the relationship between them is far greater than that of King Wei.

In addition, there is another person, Cen Wenben.

Cen Wenben was very close to the King of Wei.

Instead, he wanted Cen Wenben!

While Li Shimin was pondering, a eunuch walked in and handed over a note, "Your Majesty, this is news from the East Palace."

Li Shimin took it and opened it casually.

"Ok?"

"Shi Xiu surrendered to the Duke of Yansheng, and Confucius of Qufu was a double-minded minister for eternity?"

Duo duo.

Li Shimin tapped the table, his face full of thought.

He was not sure who Yanshenggong was, but the Kong of Qufu undoubtedly referred to the Kong family.

However, the adjectives before these two words are more interesting.

Shi Xiu surrenders and will be a traitor for all eternity!
These two words undoubtedly express disdain and contempt for the Kong family.

Let me ask, how could any scholar with any integrity write a letter of surrender, and how could he become a traitor, let alone a traitor for all eternity?

This boy is quite arrogant and doesn't even take the descendants of Confucius seriously.

"Burn it."

Li Shimin casually handed the note to the eunuch beside him, then his eyes fell on the list and he picked up the pen to leave his words.

阅。

……

That night.

The contents of the note appeared in Prince Wei's mansion.

"Excuse me, Eunuch Wang."

Li Tai, smiling like Maitreya Buddha, took a full bag of money and stuffed it into the eunuch's hands.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse, Eunuch Wang."

"Your Highness, Prince Wei is too polite. These are what I should do. I have something else to do and cannot stay for long."

"I have a ban on my body, so it is inconvenient for me to see you off. Please take care, eunuch."

"Your Majesty, please stay. Please stay."

After watching Eunuch Wang leave, Li Tai opened the note in his hand.

The note recorded in detail the conversation between Su Chen and Li Chengqian.

Shi Xiu surrenders to his enemies all his life and will be a traitor for all eternity.

very good.

Li Tai's smile became brighter and brighter, what a crazy student.

Master of Heaven and Earth!
You don't take Confucius seriously at all!

Do you know how many scholars in this world have been baptized by the teachings of Confucius and Mencius?

Let’s see whether you live or not this time!
"Someone, please come over to the mansion for a chat, Master Cen!"

……

another beautiful day.

Su Chen stretched lazily, walked out of the room, and went to the lower room where the soap was placed to check.

The soap has solidified, and you can smell a faint fragrance when you get close to it. The fragrance is much lighter than the spices and rouge and powder I bought yesterday.

Su Chen picked up a piece and tried it. "Not bad."

There are bubbles and fragrance.

This kind of soap should attract many girls, right?
"Son."

Jin Yong's voice came from outside.

Su Chen wiped his hands and walked out, and saw Jin Yong with a happy look on his face, accompanied by a handsome man of similar height to him.

"Sir, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Wang Xuance!"

Su Chen's eyes lit up. Jin Yong's movements were very fast. Wang Xuance bowed and said, "I am Wang Xuance, nice to meet you, Master Su."

"It's easy to talk about."

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Did Jin Yong tell you?"

Wang Xuance nodded and said, "Brother Jin wrote to tell me that Master Su is willing to recommend me to work in the Eastern Palace."

"I am willing to follow Mr. Su's arrangements."

"it is good!"

Su Chen smiled and clapped his hands.

Now that Wang Xuance is in place, the rest of the things will be easy.

"From now on, you will live with the prince."

"it is good."

Jin Yong smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir, double happiness. Yesterday, when I was drinking with my brothers in the West Market, I heard about a store in a good location that was waiting to be sold."

Well done!

Su Chen snapped his fingers and said, "Call Su Wang, let's go take a look."

"it is good!"

The group of four went out and headed straight for the shops in West Market.

Come for the scent.

He is also well-known in the spice and gouache business.

The shop owner was born and raised in Chang'an City, but he had to transfer the shop because he had recently run into trouble.

When Su Chen and his group arrived outside the Wenxianglai shop, they noticed some clues.

Compared with other spice shops, Wen Xiang Lai's door is almost deserted. Apart from the shop owner and a few waiters guarding the shop, there is no other customer.

"A distinguished guest has arrived, why don't you get up to greet him?"

The shopkeeper just glanced at Jin Yong and said indifferently, "Are you guys buying perfume or rouge and powder?"

"The shop is currently being sold. We are running low on stock, so feel free to look around for anything you want."

Give up treatment?
Su Chen smiled and said, "Since you are eager to sell your shop, how much is it worth?"

Hear the words.

The shopkeeper perked up a bit, "Do you want to buy it?"

Su Chen: "That depends on your sincerity."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, we have been operating here for several years. If we hadn't encountered difficulties, we would not have transferred the shop."

"If you really want it, you only need two hundred taels of silver."

"Expensive."

Su Chen shook his head. "I heard that you guys are in trouble. It's been listed for half a month, but it hasn't been sold yet."

"If we take over the store, it means we will also bear the troubles you encounter."

Seeing that Su Chen knew him so well, the shopkeeper simply said, "Since you already know, I won't hide it anymore."

"If you have the confidence and dare to take over the shop, it only costs one hundred and fifty taels of silver!"

"How about all the goods in the store be transferred to you, young master?"

The price is much lower than the surrounding areas, and with the small amount of stock in the store, it is sold at a low price.

Su Chen nodded, "Yes."

"Get the paperwork."

"it is good!"

Su Chen was straightforward, and the shop owner was extremely excited.

Those people kept causing trouble, and the store was losing money every day it was open.

If you can sell it early, you can not only minimize the loss, but also don't have to worry about trouble.

It only took a cup of tea to complete the store transfer procedures, and I just had to go to the government office to make some corrections.

After receiving the money, the haze that had been weighing on him for more than half a month dissipated. The shopkeeper kindly reminded him, "Since you have inquired about our shop, you should know that those who are causing trouble are from the Cen family, right?"

Su Chen shook his head, "Oh, I don't care."

Store owner: “???”

This……

Not afraid of death?

"He has a big background, and I have a big background too."

Su Chen smiled and handed the contract document to Su Wang, "Take the money and leave as soon as possible. No one will bother you in the future."

The shop owner nodded, bowed, thanked him, and when he stood up to leave, a group of more than ten people came over leisurely and blocked the shop owner inside the door.

"Where are you going, Boss Zhou? Do you want us to give you a ride?"
