Not long after the letter was delivered, everyone was already in His Majesty Li Er's imperial study.
After reading Su Chen's secret letter, His Majesty Li Er shook his head helplessly.
"Auxiliary machine, Su Chen, this letter is for you, please read it." His Majesty Li Er handed the letter to Changsun Wuji with some laughter and tears.
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji's face was full of questions, but he still accepted the secret letter.
At the same time, Wei Zheng and others also moved their heads over.
After reading the secret letter, Wei Zheng and others tried their best to control their facial expressions and looked at Changsun Wuji with some sympathy.
Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji, who was staying well in Chang'an City, would actually be remembered by Su Chen.
Even the capable ministers of the Tang Dynasty could only express their helplessness towards this ruthless man who dared to cheat even the emperor.
"Your Majesty...this..."
For a moment, Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say.
Previously, his eldest grandson's family had been tricked by Su Chen into blacksmith shops in hundreds of remote prefectures and counties.
For this reason, he also gave the traitor Changsun Chong a severe lesson.
But he didn't expect that not long after this, the remaining wealth of his eldest grandson's family would be so concerned about Su Chen.
"Auxiliary machine, it's hard for me to get involved in this matter. As for what to do, it's up to you."
His Majesty Li Er patted Changsun Wuji on the shoulder and enlightened: "Actually, Su Chen is already very conscientious in doing things this time. Otherwise, with his current iron smelting skills, there is no need to say hello to you."
"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean."
Changsun Wuji nodded with a wry smile and said, "Since it is little friend Su Chen who wants this blacksmith shop, I naturally won't think too much about it."
"Besides, I owe a favor to little friend Su Chen."
Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "Let's just think it's for the Tang Dynasty this time!"
Although Changsun Wuji said he was relaxed, he felt a pain in his heart.
You know, he has worked hard to run these blacksmith shops for decades, and only he knows the hard work involved.
In fact, the reason why the Changsun family was able to monopolize the iron smelting industry of the entire Tang Dynasty was inseparable from the strong support of His Majesty Li Er.
Otherwise, how could Changsun Wuji have managed to dominate the family so easily?
After thinking deeply for a while, Changsun Wuji almost looked away.
Instead of whining about your reluctance, it's better to be more generous and leave another good impression on Su Chen.
In this case, Su Chen, the protector of the country, owes him a favor.
When he thought of this, Changsun Wuji raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I plan to go to Wannian County in person and hand over to him the blacksmith shops and the iron ore, manpower and other resources controlled by my Changsun family."
"In this way, I can be considered as doing something within my ability for the Tang Dynasty."
Hearing this, the other people in the imperial study felt a little funny and started to comfort Changsun Wuji.
For a time, the atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room was very harmonious.
Seeing this scene, His Majesty Li Er was also very pleased.
It is really a blessing to have such a harmonious group of ministers.
Today, the Tang Dynasty is strong and powerful, the people are prosperous and healthy, the monarch is enlightened, and the ministers are harmonious. Isn't the future still uncertain?
And all these are changes brought about by Su Chen.
If the current situation continues to develop, I am afraid that it will not be long before this concept will be engraved into the blood of the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
And those regrettable things in history will never happen again, and the marriage has even withdrawn from the stage of history.
After all, strictly speaking, marrying the princess to Su Chen is not considered a type of marriage.
In fact, Changsun Wuji's heart was aching a little at this time.
If it weren't for the fact that the person leading this matter was Su Chen, if it were any other minister, his eldest son, Sun Wuji, would not let it go so easily, and would definitely have to fight with him.
Even if his opponents were Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, important ministers of equal status, he was not afraid.
Because he has the capital and the ability.
After all, this is a family property that can last for countless generations. If this incident had not happened, the wealth of his eldest grandson's family might have lasted for hundreds of years!
I don’t know how many people in the court were jealous!
It is no exaggeration to say that those iron smelting shops are the lifeblood of the Changsun family.
But what makes Changsun Wuji very helpless is that the person who wants to trick him this time is actually Su Chen...
Now, he has no temper at all...
After ending this conversation, Changsun Wuji drove to Wannian County alone.
…
Wannian County, Sujiazhuang.
"Hey, isn't this Lao Sun? Why is the only one here today? Where are Lao Li and the others?"
As soon as Changsun Wuji entered Su Chen's village, he met the old housekeeper.
"Old Xu, I'm here to see little friend Su Chen."
Changsun Wuji asked in a very easy-going manner: "Where are the others? I came to him today to discuss something."
"That's it. Then I'll ask someone to inform the young master. Why don't you go sit in the lobby for a while first."
After making arrangements for Changsun Wuji, the old housekeeper sent someone to inform Su Chen, and then he felt relieved to leave Changsun Wuji alone to drink tea in the lobby.
After all, we are all old acquaintances, so the old housekeeper naturally doesn't have much defensiveness towards Changsun Wuji.
After drinking tea for a while, Changsun Wuji felt a little bored, so he wandered around the yard on his own.
"This is?"
Suddenly, Changsun Wuji was attracted by a flash of light in a corner.
Changsun Wuji walked in and took a look, and found that it was a strange metal scale that was refracting sunlight.
He picked up the scale curiously and looked at it carefully for a while, but could not tell what material it was made of.
"I haven't seen this metal before. Could it be that Su Chen made it recently?"
Changsun Wuji quickly had a rough guess.
Since it is a novelty that even I have never seen before, it must have been made by Su Chen.
Changsun Wuji tried to break off the scales to test its hardness, but found that no matter how hard he tried, the thin scales did not change at all!
Now, Changsun Wuji was in a strange state.
You know, even the hardest piece of iron cannot withstand his strength at this thickness!
Just when he was about to study the metal scale, Su Chen opened the door and walked in.
With a creak, Changsun Wuji turned his head sharply and met the eyes of Su Chen who was sweating profusely.
"Lao Sun, when you came here this time, did you see the letter I sent to Lao Li?"
Su Chen had been very tired recently because he had to forge the Mithril Light Armor, so he didn't have any more polite words with Changsun Wuji and went straight to the point.
