Lin Xuan said hesitantly: "I also brought some, and I want to trouble His Royal Highness to give it to the princess."
"Okay, you leave the things behind, Gu Yi will send someone over there later." Li Chengqian nodded.
Lin Xuan took out the perfume and said, "There is one more, please trouble His Royal Highness."
"Is this glass? What's in it?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise.
You must know that a cup made of glass is worth a thousand gold, and it is usually used for appreciation and collection, and no one will use it.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is perfume. Just spray a little on your wrist, and it will last for several hours."
After finishing speaking, Lin Xuan sprayed a little into the air.
Immediately, a fragrance permeated the air!
"This perfume is even more fragrant than spices!" Li Chengqian said in surprise.
"This is what I bought from a merchant in the Western Regions with a lot of money. This is the only bottle, of course it is a treasure." Lin Xuan smiled. Spices are just a mixture of some things, and the ancients did not know how to refine them. How could they be comparable? perfume.
"I will ask someone to send it over." Li Chengqian originally wanted to ask if Lin Xuan was still there, but he had no choice but to give up after hearing what he said.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" Lin Xuan said gratefully.
……
After leaving the East Palace, Lin Xuan brought Liu Da and others to Keyun Tower.
Walking into Keyun Building, Lin Xuan found that the business was surprisingly good.
There are many foreigners in the lobby on the first floor.
"My lord, you are here. The young masters are all here. I have arranged a private room upstairs." Zhao Min saw Lin Xuan and hurried up to greet him.
"Uncle Zhao, why are there so many Hu merchants today? Besides, I can see that they are not ordinary in their clothes." Lin Xuan asked.
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Isn't it the Chinese New Year? Recently, many foreign envoys have come to Chang'an to participate in the Great Court Meeting. These people come here for fame, and they are very rich."
His tone was full of the pride of a great country.
Lin Xuan suddenly realized that it was so.
The "Great Court Meeting" held at the beginning of the year is a kind of court ceremony with the highest etiquette and standards that began in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It has been inherited from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The "Great Chaohui" means that all officials meet with the emperor.
Because Li Shimin is revered as the Khan of Heaven, every year at the Great Court Meeting, the surrounding countries will send envoys and present gifts.
The reason these countries are so keen to come over to give gifts is because Li Shimin will return them several times.The good name is 'reward'.
Lin Xuan was a little disdainful about this. These countries are here to cheat money, and they will fight Datang when it's time to fight.
But these things, other people speak lightly and can't control them.
If he dared to mention it, those officials would spray him to death. How could they be stingy when they saw that this was showing the demeanor of a great country.
"Okay, go get busy, I'll go up first." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he went upstairs directly.
When he came to his exclusive private room, he found that Cheng Chumo and the others were having a lively chat.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Cheng Chumo said happily: "We are discussing about military training in the next year. I can finally lead the army. I can't wait."
Qin Huaidao and Yuchi Baolin expressed their gratitude to Lin Xuan again.
"You have said this several times, and you see that Cheng Chumo is not polite to me." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Yuchi Baolin laughed, and said: "He has a thick skin, we can't compare."
"Who are you calling thick-skinned? Do you want to fight?" Cheng Chumo was furious.
Yuchi Baolin said disdainfully: "Hit it, you think I'm afraid of you?"
"If you two want to compare, wait until next year to compare who is better at training. Now is the time for drinking, and I'm not here to watch you fight." Lin Xuan said angrily.
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin glared at each other before sitting down.
Seeing that the two of them had calmed down, Lin Xuan patted Li Deju on the shoulder and said, "Brother Deju, I know you don't like leading troops, so I didn't mention you specifically, don't mind."
He mentioned the other three people, but did not mention the Li De Award, because he was afraid that he would have resentment, so he explained it specially.
Li Dezheng said with a smile: "I didn't want to do this at first, but I'm really not used to it yet."
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "It's best if you think so. His Majesty agreed to the participation of a few of them, which is a kind of reward for us to report the grain seeds last time. Although you failed to enter the barracks, Your Majesty will not miss you." If you have received your reward, I think His Majesty may give you a title or something."
"Lin Xuan, is what you said true?" Li Dezhen asked excitedly.
The temptation of knighthood was too great for him.
"I can't guarantee this, I can only say it's possible." Lin Xuan said.
He can't guarantee it, he just thinks it's possible.
Li Jing was worried about his meritorious service, so he deliberately handed over his military power, and rarely interacted with other people except the court.
Li Shimin must feel a little guilty towards Li Jing, as long as the Li De Award is meritorious, Li Shimin should not be stingy with a title.
After all, this can appease Li Jing and show his heart.
"Possibility is enough." Li Deju said happily.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that, we're here for a drink today."
……
Fan Jie was very excited. Although he was the prince of Linyi Kingdom, Linyi Kingdom was only a small country.
This time he followed the envoy to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, but he just heard that Chang'an was prosperous, so he came to see it.
Unexpectedly, someone came from the palace, saying that the Emperor of Tang Dynasty wanted to summon him.
If I can get the support of the Tang Emperor, will I have a chance to get my hands on the throne?Thinking of this he was very excited.
"Report to Your Majesty, Prince Linyi has brought you here." The eunuch's voice awakened Fan Jie who was dreaming.
"Fan Jie, envoy of Linyi Kingdom, please see His Majesty Shang." Fan Jie bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin said indifferently: "Excuse me, give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fan Jiefei was excited. The Emperor of Tang gave him a seat. What an honor it is. Who would dare to underestimate him after returning to China.
"I heard that the rice in your Linyi country can be harvested three times a year, and the yield is very high?" Li Shimin asked.
Fan Jie was taken aback, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, that's right."
Although Li Mu's investigation proved that what Lin Xuan said was true, Li Shimin was still a little excited when he heard the prince of Lin Yiguo say it himself.
"Do you know that the rice in Datang is ripe once a year?" Li Shimin asked.
"I know." Fan Jie replied.
"Then do you know that Datang is short of food?" Li Shimin continued to ask.
Fan Jie nodded in confusion, "I know!"
Li Shimin said angrily: "You know this, why don't you Lin Yiguo offer the seeds?"
Fan Jie almost peed out of fear, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I don't know that Datang wants our seeds."
He felt very wronged, Lin Yiguo was thousands of miles away from Chang'an, they came all the way to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, of course they wanted to bring some treasures, who would think of offering rice?After all, rice is everywhere in Linyi country, and it is the most worthless thing.
Who knows if if some seeds are brought over, Datang will think that they look down on Datang and send troops to beat them.
Li Shimin looked at Fan Jie unkindly, and said, "Do you know how many people starved to death in the Tang Dynasty because of lack of food? Your Linyi country has high-yield seeds, and if you don't donate them, you will be punished!"
Thank you Yunqian for your reward!
