Chapter 417 The New Year is the kingly way
The defence machine is dead!
This is not a big deal! But Li Ke, who knows the direction of history, knows the story between Princess Gaoyang and Bian Ji! Therefore, he has always suspected that Princess Gaoyang could encounter Bian Ji and have a series of love history with Bian Ji, which is probably a trap set by others. He determined this person to Changsun Wuji. He dared that as long as Princess Gaoyang lost Li Shimin's favor, he would definitely lose himself, so he would do this.
However, no matter how suspicious he had no evidence, he would let Bian Ji live and could only monitor the editor, and did not want Princess Gaoyang and Bian Ji to have such a tragedy. He just wanted to see if his guess was correct. But at this critical moment, Bian Ji died. Li Ke didn't think it was just a chance. He thought it was probably a man-made murder, and the purpose was just to hide something.
Thinking of this, Li Ke glanced at the puzzled generals around him. He smiled faintly and said to Zhu Tong, "Bian Ji is dead? Then die! Chang'an County Government will make a statement. Just send someone to watch!"
"No" Zhu Tong took the order to leave.
When everyone saw Li Ke say this, they stopped asking why. They knew Li Ke very well and wanted Li Ke to say goodbye and leave.
When Li Ke saw everyone leaving, he asked Li Yan who was staying by his side, "You have just returned to Chang'an and haven't been to the palace to visit your mother?"
"Yes," Li Yan replied. After this period of experience in Bingzhou, he followed Chai Zhewei and Li Zong to Goryeo. His attitude towards Li Ke has changed. As for what changes, Li Yan himself couldn't say, but he just felt that as long as it was Li Ke said, he would implement it unconditionally.
"Then you go to the palace to meet your father and mother now. There are some rules that cannot be messed with!" Li Ke said, and said to Wang Zhongchang beside him, "You go and arrange something and let the Eagle Guard accompany him to protect him."
Li Ke was afraid that his younger brother would suffer, so he made such a cautious arrangement!
"No" King Zhongdao.
Li Yan and Wang Zhongchang left, Li Ke, Chai Zhewei and Li Zong came to the study room. The maid was serving tea and looking out of the study room. Then Li Ke asked, "How did you get what you gain in this trip to Goryeo?"
"Third brother, that - Fushou Paste is so valuable. The Koreans are simply robbing crazy now!" Li Zong said excitedly, "We made a lot of money this time!"
The last time Li Ke returned to Chang'an, he collected a lot of poppy seeds. When he returned to Taiyuan, he asked someone to be responsible for planting. In autumn, the poppy harvest was good. He ordered some of the seeds to be left and the other poppy were handed over to Shengdeyan for purification. Shengdeyan lived up to Li Ke's expectations and finally proposed opium among the poppy. Li Ke was very happy, and he immediately named it Fushou Paste.
Since Chai Zhewei and Li Zong went to Bingzhou, he asked the two to form a military force, naturally to sell opium specifically.
Therefore, when all the poppy was purified into opium, Li Ke secretly ordered Chai Zhewei and Li Zong to start dumping the first batch of Fushou cream into Goryeo when he left Bingzhou.
There was a reason why Li Ke decided to sell it to Goryeo. Because Goryeo sent the Tang envoy to the last queen poisoning case, and his deputy Li Siqi made a contribution. Therefore, after the deputy envoy Li Siqi returned to Goryeo, he was appreciated by King Goryeo, and Li Ke let Chai Zhewei and Li Zong get along with Li Siqi's line.
Sure enough, the effect was still very wrong! Li Ke glanced at the expressions of Chai Zhewei and Li Zong, and thought to himself.
So, this trip to Chang'an was the only one who had just returned from Goryeo. After returning to Bingzhou, they found that Li Ke was back to Chang'an. They heard that Li Ke was going to marry Ashinayun, so they rushed to Chang'an City with Li Yan.
When they returned to Chang'an, the three of them came directly to the royal palace.
"San brother, Fushou cream has a lot of profit. We can plant it on a large scale and expand trade to countries such as Fusang and the Western Regions outside Goryeo!" Chai Zhewei also suggested.
Li Ke did not ask the two of them for specific details, and they felt that there was no need to report to Li Ke, so they picked up some main ones to report to Li Ke.
"As for Fushou Paste, I want you two to be responsible, and I will fully support you. Only when you are responsible for this matter will I feel at ease!" Li Ke said.
Li Ke's words seemed ordinary, but Chai Zhewei and Li Zong heard a strong sense of brotherhood and trust!
"Don't worry, third brother, we will definitely do this!" Li Zong promised.
"Well, but don't forget that the soldiers in your hands must be trained from time to time. This soldiers are an important force for you to open up the sales of Fushou Paste!" Li Ke suggested.
"Don't worry, third brother, we understand!" Chai Zhewei said. Li Ke asked them to form this army, and they probably guessed what Li Ke meant.
Because if you want to use it in war, Chai Zhewei and Li Zong felt that with their abilities, Li Ke would not be attracted by the trained soldiers.
So, the two of them thought hard and caught a trace of information from Li Ke's words.
"Then you go back to the mansion first. You have not yet gone to your own mansion when you return to Chang'an. This is not good! If there is anything, we will talk about it in the future!" Li Ke said. He knew very well that Chai Zhewei, Li Zong and Li Yan must have come directly to his Northern Palace as soon as he returned to Chang'an.
Chai Zhewei and Li Zong said goodbye and left.
Li Ke then summoned Zhu Tong and asked, "It's strange that Bian Ji died. Tell me how you discovered it, when, and you have been monitoring him. Haven't you ever received any signs before?"
"Your Highness, Bian Ji died suddenly. Our people kept monitoring him, but he still died! I couldn't figure out how Bian Ji died, but now Chang'an County Government may have sent someone to Huichang Temple."
Zhu Tong was also very depressed. Li Ke was very concerned about the debate aircraft. He also sent a good man from the Eagle Guard intelligence system to be responsible for surveillance and investigation. However, he still did not expect that the debate opportunity would die. He died so simply that he died without even a clue to the Eagle Guard.
"You can tell Chang'an County Magistrate Deng Tongda now and let him hand over the case to the Zuoyi for investigation. You can let the Eagle Guard be responsible for assisting the Zuoyi!" Li Ke said lightly.
Li Ke also trusted his fellow magistrate Deng Tongda, the Zuoyi's ability to handle cases. As long as the case is handed over to Zuoyi, it would be like letting the Eagle Guard intervene in disguise. Li Ke felt that maybe he could really find some clues.
"No" Zhu Tong took the order to leave.
For the Chang'an gentry and the people, Bian Ji's death had nothing to do with them.
For the Tang Dynasty, Bian Ji's death was even more insignificant.
Therefore, in addition to causing some trouble to the Chang'an County Government, many yamen runners were unable to go home in time to buy New Year's goods, but did not affect the people of the Tang Dynasty and the mood of the festival.
For the vast majority of people in the Tang Dynasty, the New Year is the kingly way!
