"Master, a dozen waves of people broke into our mansion last night, preparing to assassinate you..."
After hearing Uncle Zhao's words, Muchuan was obviously stunned.
He thought that some people would be unable to resist and want to kill him.
But I never expected that there would be so many.
It seems that the situation is far worse than I imagined.
"Has the investigation been clear? Where did they come from?"
After Uncle Zhao heard Muchuan's inquiry, he shook his head with a troubled expression and smiled bitterly.
Looking at Uncle Zhao's appearance, how could Muchuan not know?
He chuckled and shook his head, and then said to Uncle Zhao who was in front of him, who was quite remorseful: "Let's go, Uncle Zhao, let's go see how the sales of briquettes are going!"
Uncle Zhao quickly followed Muchuan, and Gao Kan led a team of guards to follow closely behind him.
Within Longliqi, Shangguan Yi had just finished counting.
After seeing Muchuan coming, he smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you are finally here!"
Looking at Shangguan Yi with obvious dark circles under his eyes, how could Muchuan not know that he had been busy all night?
He immediately smiled and then asked hurriedly.
"How much money have we made from briquettes in total?"
Shangguan Yi glanced at Muchuan, and then said slowly.
"I made a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver!"
After hearing Shangguan Yi's report, Muchuan was obviously stunned.
"Two hundred thousand taels?"
This two hundred thousand taels really surprised Muchuan.
In his mind, this income is somewhat lacking.
Shangguan Yi glanced at Muchuan and already had a rough guess in his mind.
He quickly explained in his mouth.
"Young Master, our reputation for briquettes has just begun, and there are still many people in a wait-and-see state!"
Muchuan nodded and said nothing more.
After a long time, he said to Shangguan Yi in front of him: "Come with me, I have something to tell you."
Shangguan Yi nodded and quickly followed Muchuan to the back hall.
"Master, what do you want from me?"
Shangguan Yi didn't waste any time and asked directly to Muchuan in front of him.
Muchuan glanced at Shangguan Yi, and then said quickly: "Do you want to become an official?"
Shangguan Yi never expected that Muchuan would suddenly ask him this question.
However, he did not hesitate and nodded slightly to express his inner thoughts.
Muchuan had already thought about it for Shangguan Yi, and even went to Li Lizhi to ask for her help.
Li Lizhi agreed directly without saying a word.
And I specifically asked for a copy of Shangguan Yi’s calligraphy.
Although Muchuan didn't know why Li Lizhi wanted calligraphy, he still agreed.
According to Li Lizhi's wishes, he wanted to find a position for Shangguan Yi in front of His Majesty.
Muchuan certainly had no objections to this.
Being able to be a close minister next to Li Shimin is a great blessing for Shangguan Yi.
"Miss Li has already worked for you to find your position. The result will surely come soon, right? She plans to let you go to His Majesty..."
On the other side, inside the palace.
Li Shimin looked at the calligraphy treasure in front of him with joy on his face.
Fang Xuanling also came closer to observe. After a long time, he finally said: "Your Majesty, this calligraphy is really good. This calligraphy does not have decades of skill, I am afraid I can't write it."
Fang Xuanling looked at the font in front of him in shock.
This font is fair and neat, but there is a sense of domineering in it.
Looking at the words alone, it can definitely be regarded as everyone’s work.
Fang Xuanling usually likes to write, but compared with the owner of the calligraphy painting in front of him, he is simply weak.
After figuring this out, Fang Xuanling asked Li Lizhi bitterly: "Your Highness, do you know which famous calligrapher this calligraphy was written by?"
He thought about it and found that it was not anyone's work at all.
There were only a few famous calligraphers in the entire Tang Dynasty, and he knew almost every one of them. This calligraphy was not like their style at all!
After hearing Fang Xuanling's inquiry, Li Shimin was also very interested.
After seeing the reactions of her father and Fang Xuanling, Li Lizhi deliberately betrayed her and said: "Father, this was written by a young man, not by a famous artist at all!"
After hearing that it was written by a young man, Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin each looked at each other.
Then Fang Xuanling spoke urgently: "Your Highness, I wonder whose masterpiece this is? Why have I never heard of it?"
Changle also knew that the curiosity of his father and Fang Xuanling had been aroused.
She smiled and said to Li Shimin: "This is a work by Shangguan Yi, who is the shopkeeper of Longliqi!"
"Shangguanyi?"
After Li Shimin heard the name, he murmured quickly.
He has heard of this guy.
This Shangguan Yi was born in the late Sui Dynasty. He became famous at a young age and was an out-and-out talented man.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he also tried to find this guy and let him serve as an official to help him, but he never found him.
Unexpectedly, when he showed up again, this guy would become Muchuan's shopkeeper.
This Muchuan is really awesome!
Fang Xuanling had obviously heard of Shangguan Yi's name. At this moment, he glanced at Li Shimin with a smile and spoke quickly.
"Your Majesty, we must not miss this Shangguan Yi when we meet this time!"
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling look exactly the same.
Nowadays, there is not much fresh blood in the imperial court.
These veterans have either followed Li Shimin for many years, or they are old men who have made great contributions to Li Tang's country.
This group of people, after becoming important ministers, have long lost their former glory, and they are all just waiting to die, or enjoying the glory and wealth.
As Shangguan Yi is a well-known talent, he must have a few tricks up his sleeve.
Therefore, it is almost certain that this guy will join the officialdom.
After figuring this out, Li Shimin chuckled and said to Princess Changle on the side: "Changle, what position do you think I can give Shangguan Yi better?"
After Li Lizhi heard Li Shimin's question, she quickly answered.
"This matter is entirely up to my father!"
Li Shimin chuckled, shook his head, and then spoke quickly.
"In that case, let him be by my side and be a swordsman and penman."
Li Shimin thought about it and finally decided to give Shangguan Yi the position.
After all, Shangguan Yi didn't have any great achievements, so he could only temporarily assign a position to Shangguan Yi, hoping that this guy wouldn't disappoint him.
After thinking of this, Li Shimin hurriedly ordered Wang De beside him to draft an edict.
Wang De didn't say anything nonsense and hurriedly started to prepare.
