Chapter 535 Caliphate is estimated to have other actions
Chapter 535 Dashi probably has other moves
Su Chen came to the east end of the village and saw Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others still pointing around the steam engine, so he stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty! It's cold outside and it's hard to stay here for long. Please move to your humble home to avoid the wind and cold!"
Li Eryi waved his hand: "That's fine!"
"Your steam engine seems magical, but it turns out it's nothing more than that."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves, took Fang Mou Duan with him, Wei Zhengchang, Sun Wuji and others walked towards Su Chen's house.
Su Chen then said to the civil and military officials who were shivering from the cold: "My colleagues, please come to the humble house and have a sip of hot soup to relieve the cold. I have prepared mutton hot pot in the humble house..."
"Haha, I've heard that the food at the Protector's Mansion is extremely exquisite."
"Yes, I've been craving the delicacies of the Protector's house for a long time,"
"Since the Lord Protector invites you, I'm going to bother you!"
"I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. Please don't be offended by the Lord Protector."
Everyone had been freezing in the cold wind for a long time, and when Su Chen spoke, they were all impatient.
Of course, there are also those who don’t want to:
"Sorry, I still have something to do at home, so I won't bother you."
"There are still guests at home,"
Su Chen didn't care, waved to them and went home.
In recent years, because of Su Chen, the Tang Dynasty has been changing rapidly, and at the same time, the high-ranking aristocratic families have been pushed into the dust.
There are many people who hate Su Chen's death!
Everyone enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at Sujiazhuang, bid farewell to Su Chen and went home.
Li Er and several close ministers have not left yet.
"Boy, the identities of the people you mentioned have been verified."
Li Er said and asked Qian Niuwei to hand Su Chen a stack of papers.
Su Chen opened it and frowned:
"It seems what Bacher said is true!"
It was difficult for Su Chen to distinguish the truth from the information about Bacher's confession. Yesterday, he sent an urgent letter to Li Er, asking him to help verify it. He didn't expect that the news would come out so soon.
"The two big cannibals are indeed just merchants. Many merchants in the Western Regions know them. Qianniuwei also found the Persians they had hired, and it was confirmed!"
Wei Zheng sighed: "Two lowly merchants almost brought disaster to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Hmph! If there weren't so many people crawling inside and outside, it would be impossible for just two merchants to bring locusts into our country, the Tang Dynasty."
Li Er snorted coldly: "I will not let go of anyone who participated in the persecution of the people of the Tang Dynasty this time!"
Fang Xuanling and others did not speak. Even if some people were close to them, they could not open their mouths to plead for mercy.
Man-made locust plagues were created in the Tang Dynasty. This was not something humans did at all!
"What are you going to do with those two big food merchants?"
Li Er asked.
"Keep it for now, I guess I can still ask some questions," Su Chen replied while looking at the information in his hand.
"That Prime Minister of Food is so strange. It's better to collect more information and be cautious."
Du Ruhui frowned and said: "Speaking of this, what do you think of this prime minister of food? To be honest, this is a bit beyond our understanding!"
Li Er and others looked at Su Chen,
Li Er didn't believe it when he received Su Chen's letter yesterday. How could there be such a person in the world? He was a hundred times more mysterious than Su Chen!
Su Chen spread his hands: "I'm as puzzled as you are. Logically speaking, this is impossible, but we have to admit the fact before our eyes."
"Then you should be careful when you go to Dashi next year. He knows the Tang Dynasty very well. If he builds a big ship like you, you will be in danger!"
Su Chen nodded: "I will, it's still early, just continue to collect information."
"But this Linghu Gui seems to be quite powerful!"
Su Chen raised the paper in his hand.
Changsun Wuji said: "When the Silk Road first opened, the Linghu family was a big family in Guzang. With hundreds of years of business accumulation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first family in the Hexi Corridor."
Du Ruhui sneered and said: "There are no tigers or monkeys in the mountains to call themselves kings. I will personally visit Dunhuang in the next year and thoroughly clean up the Hexi Corridor. I will definitely uproot all these little ones!"
Su Chen's eyes widened: "Prime Minister Du, Dunhuang is three to four thousand miles away from Chang'an! Can your body bear it?"
"It's okay! My body has almost healed in the past two years!"
Li Er whispered: "Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, Hou Junji, the general manager of the Ganliang Road march, and Niu Jinda, the general manager of the Songmo Road march, all reported secretly that Tuyuhun and the remnants of the Turks, as well as the Qiang people in the northwest, were secretly colluding. Among them,
The person who made the connection is Guzang Linghu, we can’t let him go!"
"Ke will choose a date to set out after next year. Li Daliang, Hou Junji and Niu Jinda will assist you along the way!"
Li Er said to Su Chen again: "You continue to interrogate those two big food merchants. If that big food prime minister really knows the Tang Dynasty well, I don't think he will send just two merchants to the Tang Dynasty!"
"The undercurrent in the northwest may also be related to him."
Su Chen nodded in agreement, and then said: "But if there are other conspiracies, these two merchants probably don't know about it either."
Li Er said: "We don't have anyone else in our hands anyway, let's give it a try."
Wei Zheng said in confusion: "I just can't understand: Why is he, the prime minister of the Great Eclipse, so deliberately trying to deal with me, the Tang Dynasty?"
"This is completely unreasonable. Even if his ambition is boundless and he covets me, the Tang Dynasty, he shouldn't take action at this time?
After all, the two countries are separated by thousands of miles!"
Everyone looked innocent. Who knows how our Tang Dynasty offended the Prime Minister of Great Food?
Everyone chatted for a while, and Su Chen wanted to ask Li Er how he was thinking about the railway matter.
As a result, Li Er still refused to let go, saying that we would talk about it after the New Year.
Several ministers were unwilling to mention it, and even Du Ruhui, who had always supported Su Chen, remained silent.
This makes Su Chen very depressed!
"Okay! Pack up and come back to the palace with me and Changle!"
Su Chen said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, let Li Zhi go back with you first. I will enter the palace tomorrow!"
Li Er glared at him: "Aren't you going to accompany Changle when he returns to the palace?"
"Your Majesty, I'm busy here. The steam engine is still lying in the wild. The real steam locomotive has also begun to be developed, and there are workshops..."
"Besides, there's nothing to do when I go to the palace. I have nothing to do. Why don't you let me arrange my work well before and after the new year."
Li Er looked Su Chen up and down: "Are you telling the truth?
When did you become so diligent?"
"Your Majesty! When did I stop being diligent? I've been so busy these days, okay?"
Li Er thought for a while and found that this boy was indeed not as lazy as before after getting married.
"Then you go there early tomorrow!"
Seeing Li Er relent, Su Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to go to the palace!
Li Er led Si'er into the carriage and returned to the palace, while several ministers went back to their homes.
Chang Lemei glared at Su Chen, and got into the carriage, bringing five large carts of gifts, and she didn't know who to give them to.
After sending Li Er and Chang Le away, Su Chen went to find Lotus Sun.
Su Chen couldn't bear to leave her alone at home during the Chinese New Year tomorrow, so he spent time with her today.
