Chapter three hundred and seventy-fifth of a fool's mental journey
Changsun Chong was first filled with wine, and then stimulated by the imperial seal, and he was in an inexplicable state of excitement. In order to obtain the imperial seal, he agreed to all the conditions proposed by Yan Fei in one breath.
Although Changsun Wuji went to Youzhou, there were still many aides left at home. When these aides learned that their young master almost gave away many fields, residences, shops, treasures and other things by free delivery, they were all shocked. They all thought that Changsun had been confused or had been deceived, so they hurriedly found him to dissuade him.
The staff saw Changsun Chong's face full of drunkenness, and when they spoke, they all complained secretly. They all thought that this young master was ignorant and was fooled by others after drinking some wine. They had to stop this matter no matter what.
"Do you really think I'm a fool?" After shutting down and coming to the heavily guarded study, Changsun Chong changed his previous appearance of a drunkard and looked at his aides with a smile. "I didn't give those things in vain. I used those things to exchange for this."
The staff looked at Changsun Chong with curiosity, not knowing what he was talking about. However, when the Changsun family's confidant family carefully took out a marble box with exquisite workmanship and opened it, the staff around couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Although no one has seen this thing before, everyone here is a scholar, and all the records in history books tell them in detail what it is. Especially when I saw the eight seal characters "I will be ordered by heaven and live forever" on the front, anyone who has read the history books knows that this is the famous jade seal of the kingdom.
As for counterfeiting, no one in this era would counterfeit the imperial seal.
Because at this time, people who are interested in becoming emperors are robbing the real ones, and no one will have nothing to do to imitate a fake one when it really exists.
It was not until hundreds of years later that the Qingtai period of the Later Tang Dynasty, the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke and Empress Dowager Cao burned themselves to Xuanwu Tower. After the imperial seal disappeared, a large number of imitations appeared.
Only people with the profession of the emperor can use this thing. If you don’t want to be an emperor, no one will counterfeit it and cause you to behead yourself. Those who want to be an emperor will rob the real thing, and of course there will be no imitation.
"You said." Changsun Chong proudly held the imperial seal, "Is this worth it if I exchanged for those things?"
What else is there to say about this? Of course it is worth it. It is simply too worth it.
Since the imperial seal was taken to the grassland by Empress Xiao, Li Shimin had not had a imperial seal, so he carved several jade seals such as "responsible treasure" and "decided treasure" to discuss. If the real imperial seal was sent up at this time, it would definitely be very happy. For the nobles and ministers, the emperor's satisfaction was the greatest contribution.
"I always feel that the origin of this thing is a bit weird." A steady-state aide thought about it and made a comment. "It's better to send a letter to the head of the family to ask what to do."
The young and energetic Changsun Chong didn't like to listen to this. He was now at the time of pride and was in a rebellious period for his father. Seeing that he was about to achieve great achievements, why should I let myself take away the merits?
"Everything else is easy to say, but this one doesn't work." Changsun Chong was still quite smart and soon came up with a great reason. "If you don't send this thing to the palace immediately, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. If someone asks me why I didn't send it to the palace in time since I got the imperial seal, would it be that I wanted to be unjust? How should I explain it?"
The imperial seal is different from other things. Only the emperor can own this thing. After the minister is obtained, he will not hand it over to the emperor but keep it himself. The crime will be a big deal. No one can resist it if he smashes it in the name of ambition.
The value of the imperial seal is priceless, but only those with the profession of the emperor will be interested in this thing. If Changsun Chong wrote to Changsun Wuji, who was far away in Youzhou, asked about this matter, and then waited for Changsun Wuji to send a reply. There was no email or mobile phone in this era, and it took at least half a month to go back and forth.
If a minister gave the emperor a memorial saying that Changsun’s family had a private collection of jade seals and was determined to have great ambitions, then let alone Changsun Chong’s aunt was the queen, even the empress dowager would not do.
The emperor was the most suspicious profession. His ministers hid the imperial seal and did not hand it over. The army that confiscated the family and destroyed the clan would come soon. At that time, not only did he not make any contribution, he filled in his entire clan.
"It must be sent to the palace as soon as possible." An aide knew the power of it well. "You can't delay it for a moment. It's best to send it in now."
"Where is Lord Changsun?" The aide who had proposed to send a letter to Changsun Wuji was a little worried. "Since Yan Fei has obtained the imperial seal, why didn't he send it to the palace by himself? Why did he give it to the young master?"
This is indeed the biggest doubt. No matter who gives this thing to Li Shimin, he will receive a very generous reward. Since Yan Fei succeeded, why should he hand over this credit to Changsun Chong? As for the things Changsun Chong gave, the emperor can also give it, and give it more.
Perhaps it was because of his youthful spirit, or perhaps it was because of the high-level Jian Nanchun that made him dizzy and his thinking ability gradually became chaotic, or perhaps he had been living in the shadow of his father and wanted to show his abilities.
Changsun Chong, who was full of red face, waved his hand, "He came from the Western Regions and did not understand the importance of the imperial seal at all. Moreover, Yan Fei had been grateful for my help in the past. He may know that this is a very important thing, but he didn't understand how important it is. In addition to his merchant nature, he used this to exchange for a lot of good things from me. Unfortunately, he would not understand that those things are not worth mentioning in front of the imperial seal."
Changsun Chong was already thinking about whether he should take advantage of the situation to sue Yan Fei after he received the emperor's reward. He said that he had obtained the imperial seal from Jie Li but did not hand it over but kept it privately. Although it was understandable that it was a foreigner who did not know what this was, the fact was inevitable.
Changsun Chong's wishful thinking was that he had obtained the name of punishing Yan Fei from the emperor. At that time, all the things Yan Fei took from him could be taken back again. He could also sweep Yan Fei's things into nothing. He had to get the wine and the secret recipe for delicious food.
In Changsun Chong's opinion, Yan Fei is definitely a good person. He has always brought him a steady stream of benefits. Now he has also brought a lot of credit and his entire wealth. There are really not many such good people, so he must be plundered carefully.
Not to mention anything else, the high-alcohol drink that Yan Fei took out today represents a huge wealth. There are almost no men in the Tang Dynasty who don’t like drinking. Although there is a prohibition now, it will eventually be cancelled. As long as the food shortage is alleviated, the prohibition will naturally be lifted. At that time, the large amount of Yan Fei’s high-alcohol wine sold will naturally make a big profit.
Changsun Chong, who was so happy that he was about to grin on his ears, sat in the carriage to the palace and laughed all the way. Yan Fei not only gave him reputation and position, but also gave him a lot of wealth. This is really a good person. He even decided in his heart to save Yan Fei's life and let him serve him well to make money.
"Do you think this is the imperial seal?" In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin was playing with the imperial seal imitated by Yan Fei, and his eyes were slightly cold at Changsun Chong kneeling below.
Logically speaking, Changsun Chong is now just named a lieutenant in Qianniu Guard and has not really become an official. With his official position, it is impossible to go to the palace to meet the emperor at night.
But who made him the most hero under Li Shimin? His aunt was Li Shimin's empress. When Changsun slammed the palace gate at night and said that there was a huge emergency to report to the emperor, Li Shimin met him for the sake of Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun.
"Yes." Changsun Chong, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't see the emperor's expression, but he keenly noticed the emperor's bad words. Although he was not sure why, he was already at the forefront and could not retreat. He could only bite the bullet and say that he had obtained it from Yan Fei. It was a small way to relieve himself of possible dangers.
"How many things did you exchange for?" Li Shimin put down the jade seal in his hand, gritted his teeth and asked the fool in front of him.
Changsun Chong's uneasiness became stronger and stronger, but he honestly told the fields, mansions, shops, treasures, etc. that he had paid for. This kind of thing could not be hidden at all.
"Hu~~~" Li Shimin raised his head and exhaled heavy turbid air.
I wasted my life and thought about marrying Li Lizhi, the eldest daughter of Princess Changle to him. I really didn't expect that this guy was a fool who was so stupid that he could not be stupid. He was fooled by peeing for a few cups of horses and was fooled. He didn't know what he said, and he believed in whatever he said. He didn't even consider the many suspicious points inside. Compared with him, he completely verified the saying that a tiger father gave birth to a dog son.
If Changsun Wuji was at home, he would never be deceived by such tricks. Not to mention the missing letters on the jade seal, he would not know this kind of thing unless he was truly knowledgeable and had read royal scriptures. But as a rich child, he doesn't even understand the feeling of touching the jade?
The imperial seal has been passed down for thousands of years. During this period, it has been played with countless people. After being used for thousands of years, both appearance and feel are completely different from the one in front of you. Although the one in front of you is almost no different from the one in front of you, it is a new, brand new kind!
Even such a simple difference cannot be seen. So many things were taken away by someone using a fake. When Chang Sun Wuji comes back, he will probably break his legs.
"Your Majesty." Changsun Chong didn't know what happened, but the original plan was to continue. "Yan Fei was just a merchant, but after obtaining this item, he took it for himself or not, and his intention was to be punished. He also asked His Majesty to issue an order to capture this criminal who deceived the emperor."
"Do you want to get the order yourself to capture Yan Fei?" Changsun Chong's little thoughts could not be hidden from Li Shimin. At this moment, Li Er was really disappointed with this fool.
"If Your Majesty allows you, I am willing to share your worries."
