No one understood the meaning of the Emperor's ambiguous words.
But at this time, they could only play dumb!
Sometimes, people died from talking too much.
They died from being smart!
At this time, Li Shimin was also satisfied. After achieving his goal, Li Shimin could not help but let go of the last bit of fear in his heart.
"Since that is the case, then I have decided. Since Brother Zhang Feng is willing to teach all his skills to Chengqian and the others, then I will allow it!"
"But, when the time comes, I will personally assess how much they have learned from Brother Zhang Feng! If they do not pass, then they will remain the same as they are now! If they have learned well, then I will reward them! "
"But, I have a request!"
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly expressed their thanks.
Li Shimin said again, "Every day, I must receive their learning progress. Then, Cheng Yaojin, you and the people of the military department will work together to secretly organize what Zhang Feng has taught for me! As for Du Gou, Minister Fang, I will have to trouble you! As for Chengqian, I will personally organize it! "
"But, there is one thing. I do not wish to hear what Chengqian has learned outside!"
In the end, Li Shimin still expressed his worries. He believed that these people would understand! If they didn't, they wouldn't be here tonight.
They all stood up and knelt on the ground again.
"We obey Your Majesty's imperial order!"
"Alright, get up. Since it's already so late, don't go back tonight. We haven't drunk together in a long time. How about it? Why don't we have the imperial chef make some mutton soup and pair it with Brother Zhang Feng's good wine?"
Without waiting for anyone to object, Li Shimin said with a chuckle, "I know that those little rascals actually sneaked into my yellow forest to hunt a tiger and gave it to Brother Zhang Feng. I also know that the most precious tiger penis was given to an old scholar by that little rascal!"
Li Shimin seemed to be very angry.
It was as if his heart ached.
He shook his head and said, "Forget it! Tomorrow, we'll go and eat tiger meat! That was good stuff! Let's go together then! "
What could they say?
What did he dare to say?
He could only nod his head.
They had just walked on the edge of life and death. Right now, everyone's backs were drenched in sweat! How could he dare to say anything else?
Now that the Emperor was in the midst of comprehending, if anyone dared to speak at this time, they would definitely be done for!
Not long after, Hunyang Mo was suddenly carried in by a few palace eunuchs. The spicy pepper, the numbing pepper, and the dogwood powder, which he stole from Zhang Feng, instantly filled the imperial study with a spicy sensation that made one unable to blink.
"Come, come, come!"
Li Shimin seemed to have an appetite. He rubbed his hands and beckoned for everyone to sit down. Then, he personally opened a jar of wine and served it to everyone.
Then, he raised his glass and said, "Everyone has worked hard during this period of time. I have long wanted to treat everyone to a drink, but unfortunately, I never had the time! Tonight, let's have a good drink! "
While speaking, Li Shimin raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
After drinking a glass of wine, everyone's nerves gradually relaxed. Li Shimin asked slowly.
"By the way, Minister Fang, can you tell me what happened to the cooperative in Chang 'an recently? Furthermore, I have a bad premonition! "
Fang Xuanling hurriedly put down his glass and was about to stand up, but Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned him to sit down and talk.
"Your Majesty, I have noticed that the Chang 'an Local Government's treasury was less than 30 million taels of silver. But now, including the money lent out and the money deposited, the total amount is 10 million taels of gold! This is a considerable amount, so I think that the matter of Guan Long hasn't started yet! "
"But I also found something wrong in the past two days. That is, the goods of all the merchants have been hoarding. No one has said that they want to go out of the city!"
"A large number of goods of Zhen La in the treasury have all been sold out. Most of the merchants even borrowed money at the entrance of the government office and then turned around to buy goods. But there are also a large number of Huzi, Tubo, and Turkic merchants who have come to buy goods …"
"I sent someone to talk to General Yuchi. He didn't find any clues, but the people on the trade route are indeed much less than before! I am investigating this matter, and I believe that there will be definite news tomorrow! "
Li Shimin heard this.
He nodded.
As long as the money in the treasury didn't decrease, it meant that everything was normal. As for why these merchants didn't transport goods out and why they hoarded in Chang 'an, Li Shimin didn't worry about it.
There was no problem with the trade route!
That meant that these merchants were deliberately hoarding goods!
It was not up to him to care about it.
After thinking about it, Li Shimin didn't think about it anymore. There was no problem with the money, and no bad things had happened to the merchants, which meant that this matter hadn't developed to a bad point for the time being.
After all, there were merchants who had the habit of hoarding goods before. Now, it was just that there were more goods!
After Li Shimin understood this, he didn't think about it anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Okay! Let's not think too much. Maybe Brother Zhang Feng is drunk, or he wants us to be on guard against the Guanlong Group! As long as we pay attention now, once this matter starts, even if the Guanlong Group wants to cause trouble, it's over! "
"Now, let's eat and finalize the matter of them worshipping Zhang Feng as their teacher!"
"Okay …"
And at this moment.
When the gong sounded, it was the time of the hour.
In a dark room in Chang 'an City.
An oil lamp was slowly lit by someone.
The next moment, a group of luxuriously dressed figures appeared in this room.
One of them, a white-haired old man with a veil, glanced at the crowd and asked, "How is it?"
"…"
