"The Great Dao is like the blue sky, I can't come out alone.
I am ashamed to drive away the children of Chang 'an Society. Red chickens and white pheasants gamble on pears and chestnuts.
Playing a sword to make a song, playing a bitter sound, dragging the king's door does not match the feeling.
Huaiyin city well laugh at Han Xin, Han Dynasty Gongqing taboo Jia Sheng.
Don't you see that in the past, the Yan family valued Guo Kui, who had no suspicion when he broke his integrity.
Ju Xin and Yue Yi were grateful for their contribution and sacrificed their guts to show their talents.
King Zhao's bones are wrapped in vines. Who can sweep the yellow golden platform?
It's hard to travel. Go back!"
On the bank of the Wei River, Kong Yan stood with his hands behind his back, moaning about Li Bai's difficult journey. This time, he was facing the greatest monarch of the Tang Empire, Li Shimin!
In the past, he had encountered some opponents in his business, but he had never really taken them seriously.
The methods and brains that were more than a thousand years ahead were definitely not something that the merchants of this era could compare to.
He was at the peak of the path of commerce and could enjoy the loneliness of being invincible.
However, in this era, merchants were not the mainstream. The status of merchants was difficult to describe in a few words!
It was true that many merchants in this era were not good goods. They believed that there were no unscrupulous merchants.
However, Kong Yan was different. He said in a pretentious way," He came out of the mud without being stained, washed clean without being evil!
He had never colluded with any government officials, and he had become the richest man in the world. The wealth he had accumulated in a short period of more than ten years was unimaginable.
He had never thought of getting promoted through Li Shiming. He just wanted to live well and be able to freely control his wealth!
However, it was obvious that many people thought that he lacked status, so he should not have so much wealth!
A merchant's wealth far exceeded the national treasury of a dynasty. Which king could bear it?
"Young Master, it's late at night." Li Erlang handed over a velvet robe.
"Inform the people involved in tonight's operation to leave Chang 'an City overnight.”Kong Yan sighed.”
"Young Master, don't worry. With Doctor Sun's knockout powder, tonight's operation won't be too big of a problem.”Li Erlang said respectfully.
Li Erlang thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up. He said in a low voice," Li Wanshun should have a secret passage inside Chang 'an. Since Young Master intends to help her, it's best if you can get information about this secret passage so that it will be easier for us to do things in the future."”
"You think you're the only one who thought of it?" Kong Yan shook his head. His Majesty the Emperor should have already sealed off the entire Lotus Garden.”
"Then wouldn't Young Master suffer an undeserved calamity this time?”Li Erlang was somewhat dissatisfied.
"It's not just an undeserved disaster. I only peed!”Kong Yan snorted and said," Have you ever seen me make a losing deal?”
"Then what does Young Master mean?" Li Erlang's eyes lit up.
Kong Yan said lightly," I asked Qin Da to cause a ruckus in Chang 'an so that everyone would think that we have nothing to do with Li Wanshun and the others. If Li Wanshun appears again in the future, do you think anyone will suspect me?"”
Li Erlang thought for a moment and frowned." But this might also make His Majesty think that Young Master did it on purpose to get rid of the suspicion of colluding with Li Wanshun?"”
"That's indeed possible." Kong Yan looked at the surface of the river. The waves were bending the moon's shadow. He said calmly," So tonight, the Qin Dynasty will cause a huge commotion. It will be so big that it will be treasonous!"”
"Breaking into the Eastern Palace at night to interrogate the Crown Prince, just this alone is enough to make His Majesty the Emperor fly into a rage and want to kill me.”
Li Erlang's face twitched, and he revealed a painful expression.""Then why did Young Master do this?”
Just now, he only felt that Qin Dalang had led his men to cause a ruckus in Chang 'an City. It was very satisfying and he didn't think too deeply about it.
Now that he heard Kong Yan's words, his legs were slightly wet.
"If it's just interrogating the Crown Prince at night, I can get rid of the suspicion that I'm colluding with Li Wanshun and the others, but it will also make His Majesty the Emperor want to kill me, and he might even take action.”
"But if all his important sons and ministers were interrogated, what would you think if you were him?”
Kong Yan glanced at Li Erlang.
"We must kill Young Master at all costs!" Li Erlang thought for a moment and said with certainty.”
“……”
The corner of Kong Yan's eyes twitched." So you can only be Li Erlang!" he snorted.”
"But Young Master, Chang 'an Fortress is the imperial capital. You are slapping His Majesty's face.”The more Li Erlang thought about it, the more anxious he became. He said," Young Master, why don't we leave?"”
"When I first started doing business, many merchants had their eyes on me. Why do no merchants dare to have their eyes on me now?”Kong Yan asked.
"This is different," Li Erlang said.
"In the eighth year of Wude, that merchant surnamed Song in Suzhou colluded with the government to occupy my Falling Goose Pavilion.”" Of course not," Kong Yan said casually." The logic is the same. The emperor is rich in the four seas, but he has to work hard for the livelihood and stability of the people. While the emperor enjoys supreme power, he also has some obligations to fulfill!”
"After seeing the power that our people have erupted with, he will indeed be extremely afraid of me and will want to get rid of me as soon as possible. However, he will not rashly attack me.”
Kong Yan's face was filled with a strange color.
"Does Young Master mean…that he is afraid that after getting rid of Young Master, we will cause trouble in the Great Tang?”Li Erlang vaguely understood.
Kong Yan said," He should have sent people to secretly investigate all my properties. If he only sees me as a huge threat, then he really doesn't deserve my evaluation of him. He deserves to be poor!"”
"I understand the logic, but just in case.”Li Erlang was still worried.
"Isn't there still the Great Tang's God of War?" Kong Yan paused and smiled. As for the future, didn't you just say that Li Wanshun knows a secret passage to Chang 'an Fortress?”
"Send some men to station around Chang 'an Fortress and dig through the entire city!”
Li Erlang gulped and said in a trembling voice,""If we're discovered, we'll die even if we don't.”
" It's fine," Kong Yan consoled." Do it secretly and dig deeper."”
“……”
March 15th, Empress Zhangsun's birthday. This night was destined to be unforgettable.
The fire burned half of Chang 'an City.
The Eastern Palace, King Yue's Mansion, King Shu's Mansion, the various government offices, and the residences of the ministers in Chang 'an were all in chaos.
The fire was secondary. The rampant thieves actually dared to hold the Crown Prince, the King of Yue, the King of Shu, and the various Duke of the State hostage!
When they heard the questions asked by these thieves, they were all furious!
"F * ck, I thought it was an enemy attack. You bunch of bastards, your young master is missing. What does it have to do with me?”This was the furious roar of a certain hot-tempered Duke who had been knocked out by knockout powder and hung up.
"How dare you all, bengong is the crown prince!”
"Bastards, how dare you hit bengong? I'm going to kill your entire family!"
"Stop fighting, I really don't know where he is…"
“……”
Even the current Crown Prince did not escape the fate of being hung up and beaten up.
Chang 'an was in chaos!
Originally, Chang 'an City was heavily guarded, with streets extending in all directions. It was also isolated from many other alleys by walls. Each alley was equivalent to a strong stronghold that could be defended independently.
If there was an invasion, the Chang 'an garrison could use the streets that extended in all directions to dispatch troops and rely on the Lifang system to quickly shrink or even seal the area where the unrest occurred and quickly calm the situation.
But tonight, there were fires all over the city at the same time. Before the guards in the city could reach the scene of the crime, they were all knocked out by the smoke hidden in the smoke.
Kong Yan's order was a bit hasty, but Qin Dalang had been hiding here before Kong Yan came to Chang 'an.
His fanatical loyalty to Kong Yan could be seen in the simulation of how to occupy Chang 'an in the shortest time on the first day he entered Chang' an.
