Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

"That's right, Miss Haitang, please tell Master Qin that Master Qin has such a kind heart. I am extremely grateful to the people of the world. Master Qin has done so much for the world, such as printing and sweet potatoes. If this snow sand salt is extremely precious, His Royal Highness the King of Chu should keep it for himself."

"That's the truth, Miss Haitang."

"......."

Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others spoke up one after another.

They are extremely clear about the preciousness of snow sand salt.

When they heard this, they were really frightened.

How much would that kind of salt cost if I wanted to buy it?

Although there are still a lot of stocks in the Wangyun Inn and Villa on the other side of Mount Li, which they have seen with their own eyes, but! Don’t look at those stocks. If they are to supply the whole world, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Others, such as Li Jing and Qin Qiong, who had never seen snow, sand and salt, were extremely confused and had no idea what Changsun Wuji and the others were talking about.

But the next moment, when Shangguan Haitang asked the old steward of Wangyun Inn, Yuan Tiangang, to bring the salt and put it on the table, they were all stunned.

Holy shit! !
Such salt!!
Absolutely!

It's really amazing!!

This... is truly as good as gold!!
Shangguan Haitang grabbed a handful with her little hands and clenched them.

Looking at Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji's dissuasive expressions, and then looking at the stunned people around him, he smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty, this salt... is very simple, not difficult at all."

"According to what His Highness said, there are many salt mountains in the mountains around Chang'an."

Shangguan Haitang said.

"But, Miss Haitang, these salt mountains are inedible! They are all poisonous salt!!"

When Empress Changsun heard this, her heart tightened and she quickly reminded him.

"Yeah, the salt can't be eaten."

"Otherwise, your whole body will turn black and you will die of poisoning."

Li Shimin also stared at Shangguan Haitang with great nervousness.

"Hehe... Your Majesty, you ate it directly, but His Highness said that once the salt mountains are processed, they will become the best salt."

"It's just that no one has mastered this technology yet. Once it's mass-produced, the price will be very cheap. You can buy a lot of it with just one penny."

"Not to mention, how much salt can ordinary people eat in a month? People all over the world deserve to have salt!"

"Should!!"

Shangguan Haitang said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Is that so?

That's it!

Processing!

technology!
They looked at each other, and no one was able to speak.

Absolutely!

It's really amazing. What's wrong with His Royal Highness the King of Chu's brain? He can even find a way like this.

Oh My God! !

As giants in the court, they understood very well the significance of this technology to the people. If it was really as Shangguan Haitang said, then the people of the world would be completely delighted and would also usher in a great progress.

The living standards of the people have also been greatly improved! !

I have to admire it!

“Gudong…”

Li Shimin swallowed.

"So that's how it is, Miss Haitang, Kuan'er..."

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful! If that's the case, I really want to thank Master Qin and you on behalf of the people of the world."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, you stinky boy, Miss Haitang, tell me the truth, how much private money do you have? I don't know."

Empress Changsun was also shocked.

She stared at Shangguan Haitang, really wanting to see clearly how much Qin Changye and the guards around him knew about him.

"Empress, hehe, this young man's private money..."

"The young master said that it cannot be revealed, but you will know when the time comes. The young master will reveal it bit by bit, making the Tang Dynasty different from all previous dynasties, completely different!"

When Shangguan Haitang said this, her eyes were like stars.

Empress Changsun looked on quietly, with a slight smile on her face, feeling infinitely proud.

Qin Changye, this is truly the talented child of the Tang Dynasty.

He truly is the prosperous ruler that the Tang Dynasty deserves!

This is how we should lead this great nation of the Lobby!

Li Shimin, who was standing next to him, was extremely envious.

grandma's!
Why can't Qin Changye give me some of his brain?
But...it doesn't matter.

After all, I can't live as long as Qin Changye.

I really don’t know where the Tang Dynasty will go under the influence of Qin Changye.

That must be a prosperous era that I have never seen before and has never been recorded in any book!
"Miss Haitang, I wonder why Master Qin came back this time."

"What is the best way for our Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Shangguan Haitang.

What path should the Tang Dynasty take next?
Ministers including Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui all understood very well that the direction taken by Prince Qin would most likely be the future direction of the Tang Dynasty.

Where is the Tang Dynasty heading?
They really couldn't remember.

But it is definitely not like it is now, where things are neither fast nor slow, repeating the same routines from past dynasties.

Everyone is very clear about their own abilities.

To be honest, they have paid a lot over the years, but the Tang Dynasty... the world... and this court...
Not much has changed.

Everyone says that Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and other brave generals are fierce.

But in terms of strength, can he be stronger than Bai Qi and Meng Tian? Can he be stronger than Wei Qing and Huo Qubing? Can he be stronger than Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and Zhou Yu?

Everyone praised Fang's strategy and Du's judgment, and said that the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was extremely wise.

But can they compare with Xiao and Zhang Liang? There are many people like them in all dynasties.

But what's the result?

Well known.

It has been a continuous cycle through the dynasties.

It seems that there is never a way out of this vicious circle.

If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, if they continued, they would only be able to recreate some of the past glory days, and then, at a certain stage, the Tang Dynasty would decline and re-enter the cycle once again.

But what about now? Qin Changye is here!
There is a son!

Qin Changye’s path!
They always had a feeling that following Qin Changye's direction, they could definitely break out of this vicious circle and find a completely new path.

This is absolutely!!

This has already left them far behind!
Countless eyes were looking at Shangguan Haitang.

I want to know the answer from Qin Changye's guard.

Shangguan Haitang smiled gently.

Took a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty, and your Majesty, His Highness has arranged all these matters."

"But right now, sir, he has more important things to do."

One major matter that requires the elimination of a strong enemy!

However, Shangguan Haitang did not say this. The young master had instructed that it would be best not to make His Majesty and Xiao Sizi and the others worry.
.
…….…….….….
A month later.

All the traitors who participated in the rebellion were executed.

The Tang Dynasty ushered in a brand new moment, and the imperial court was ruled by the Li royal family!
The court was peaceful, but in the streets, Shen Lian had a depressed look on his face.

lost!
Yuheng and his granddaughter!

He was investigating a case recently and was originally planning to catch Yuheng, but in the end he managed to escape.

His Highness returned to the north and relied on the things from the snow mountains to fight against the Lu family of Fanyang, while he was responsible for Yuheng, one of the seven stars.

I thought my progress would be faster than His Highness's, but I didn't expect him to escape anyway, and I also lost a lot of brothers.

"This Yuheng is indeed someone who could have worked with you before."

Shen Lian sighed, then instructed the Jinyiwei: "Immediately retrieve the case file of Taiji Temple a month ago, then go to the Ministry of Rites to check the situation of the Taoist priests registered with Taiji Temple a month ago, then compare the files to see if the number of Taoist priests in Taiji Temple changed before and after the case. At the same time, find the Taoist priests of Taiji Temple who are still alive and ask if Wuyazi had any abnormalities at the time, and which Taoist priest Wuyazi had a good relationship with and was often together with…"

Recently, due to the unlimited prestige of the King of Chu, they can also use the power of the court.

Jinyiwei heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Sir, could it be that..."

Shen Lian raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "We caught Yuheng before, but he was a puppet. It seems incredible, but there are clues. I have checked during this period. If you want to turn a person into a puppet, you must do it yourself. So if I am right, maybe Yuheng was in Taiji Temple when the case happened a month ago!"

"Check it out carefully, maybe Yu Heng's veil will be lifted soon!"

"Yes, sir!" The Jinyiwei immediately nodded excitedly, then left quickly.

Shen Lian exhaled lightly, and his black pupils flashed with bright light.

Are there other secrets hidden in the cases that I have already investigated?

If there really is a secret, being able to hide it from me during my first investigation shows that he is quite capable.

However, Shen Lian was not ashamed or felt that he was incompetent... After all, the case happened a month ago, and what he could find now was very limited.

No matter how deep Yu Heng is hidden, Shen Lian will dig him out bit by bit.

"Yuheng, this gift you gave me is really a bit big. Why... do you think that even if you told me that Wuyazi in the previous case was the direction of the investigation, I would not be able to find you? Or do you think you have erased all the clues and traces?"

Shen Lian's eyes flickered, and he was more motivated than ever before.

"grown ups."

At this moment, a Jinyiwei suddenly came over and said, "Sir, there is an order from the palace, asking you to come to the palace immediately to see the emperor."

"Enter the palace?"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.

Who is looking for me?
He pondered to no avail, so he nodded: "Let's go into the palace."

After entering the palace, a palace servant brought Shen Lian to the front of Taiji Palace, and a guard said, "Commander Shen, His Majesty has ordered that Commander Shen has arrived. There is no need to inform him and he can enter directly."

Shen Lian nodded, not surprised at all.

He thanked the guard and quickly went inside.

When he entered the Taiji Palace, he found that Li Shimin was the only one in the entire Taiji Palace.

Today he was not wearing a dragon robe, but a simple black suit, and his back looked tall and lonely.

this…….
Is this the Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Shimin?

Shen Lian took a deep breath. This was the first time he met the number one person in the world, so he inevitably had mixed feelings.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Shen Lian bowed slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin turned around after hearing the voice.

He looked at Shen Lian, his eyes flickering with an inexplicable charm.

After a while.

Her eyes were gentle and there was a smile on her lips.

He smiled and said, "Hahaha, I've heard for a long time that Commander Shen is young and promising, handsome and unrestrained, and is a powerful general under Master Qin. After meeting him today, it's really as the rumors say."

The words fell.

After hearing such an evaluation from Li Shimin, Shen Lian didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Please stand up. No need to be so polite." Li Shimin continued.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After all,

Shen Lian felt a little uncomfortable facing Li Shimin. How should I put it... it was the discomfort of a small person meeting a big person.

He got straight to the point and asked directly: "Ahem, Your Majesty summoned me here, but what happened?"

When it came to serious matters, Li Shimin's expression turned stern. He nodded slightly without hiding anything.

After all, he called Shen Lian over because there was really an emergency, which was why he looked for Shen Lian, a person he had never met before.

"I asked you to come here. I have something to tell you."

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly became serious. He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Myriad nations wish to pay tribute to you..."

Inside Tai Chi Palace.

"All nations are coming to pay tribute?"

When Shen Lian heard what Li Shimin said, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He came from the Ming Dynasty, so he knew the history of the Tang Dynasty at that time.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was still far from reaching its most prosperous period in history.

Tuyuhun has not yet been destroyed.

Tubo was still active and constantly threatening the northern part of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty during this period had not reached the point where it could intimidate other countries and make them bow down and submit to it, so...how could it be possible for all nations to come and pay tribute to it at this time?
Shen Lian looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Li Shimin did not hesitate. After all, this was the most important reason why he summoned Shen Lian.

He said: "In the past few days, I have received letters from many countries, including Nanzhao, Dashi, Tiele, Persia, Bolor, Tubo and other countries, hoping to send envoys to our Tang Dynasty to discuss world affairs."

"I have also checked the time they requested to go on the mission. If there are no delays on the way, the envoys of these countries will arrive in Chang'an at the same time within three days."

"This is a bit too coincidental. If it was just one or two countries, it would be fine. But dozens of countries sent letters almost at the same time, and they arrived almost at the same time. This is a problem."

Li Shimin looked at Shen Lian and said, "Commander Shen, I wanted to ask Master Qin what he thought about this matter, so I went to Wangyun Inn yesterday and asked the old gentleman to bring a letter to Master Qin."

"Today, Master Qin replied to the letter. He said that he wants you to preside over this visit of all nations! Although I am doubtful, Master Qin has always been flawless in his work and has saved the Tang Dynasty from crisis several times." (End of this chapter)
