Chapter 290: Once upon a time, there was a ......
Li Shimin made a good streak with these trustworthy courtiers in the Liangyi Palace, and asked Si Tianjian again, saying that there will still be thunder and lightning statues in the near future, please be more careful in the palace. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng each divined their own hexagrams, and they both looked like they were in danger. Li Shimin arranged a lot of rhetoric, and Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling expected what those people would say. It was until the second half of the night that the discussion was finally settled and everyone went back.
At that time, the sky was already starting to brighten, Xia Hongsheng yawned and went back home, fell asleep, and woke up at noon.
As soon as they washed up and sat down to prepare for lunch, the three brothers of the Li family and the shopkeeper Wang came together.
"How are you together?" Xia Hongsheng saw that the shopkeeper Wang and the three villains of the Li family who came to take advantage of the rice came over, so he naturally wanted to ask.
"Oh, back to the Hou Ye, the younger one met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two Highnesses in front of your mansion, and they came in together." Shopkeeper Wang said to Xia Hongsheng: "The little one came here today to report on the things in the winery. ”
"Let's eat first, and then we'll talk about it when we're done." Xia Hongsheng nodded and asked Shopkeeper Wang to sit down and dine together, Shopkeeper Wang was suddenly honored and frightened, and he was very excited.
After a meal, everyone went to the study, because Li Chengqian and Li Ke had shares in the winery, so they asked them to go together, so they simply took Li Tai with them.
After Xia Hongsheng entered the study, he asked everyone to sit down, and then asked, "I don't know what the shopkeeper is going to say today?" ”
Shopkeeper Wang got up and bowed again, and then replied: "Now the liquor of the liquor workshop no longer has to worry about the problem of raw materials and output, and the liquor of the liquor workshop has also begun to prevail in Chang'an City. It's hot today, too. Small thinks. This is the best time for us to build momentum. Poetry meetings and martial arts competitions can begin. ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded, Chang'an City in summer is much more lively than in winter, whether it is people from all over the world who go to Beijing, or foreign Hu businessmen, they will choose to arrive in Chang'an at this time.
"I'll leave this matter to you, your original plan is already very good, and I don't need to ask anything more." Xia Hongsheng can trust the ability of the king's shopkeeper. So he said: "You can arrange everything yourself, and we can trust the ability of the king's treasurer." ”
"Hehe, thank you for the trust of the adults!" Shopkeeper Wang smiled and gave a salute, and said: "That little one has another idea, this time the civil and military conference, let's just do it, if we want to do it, we have to do it with great momentum and unprecedented scale, and we have to go through this matter." Let the entire Tang Dynasty, and even Hu Shang. They all know what we are and what we are called. Therefore, the small thought, simply we are no longer the only one, but also let Mingxiangju, Liulifang, and even Hou Ye's coal yard all participate, so, first, these are still the industry of the adults or Hou Ye, this move can make these famous all over the world, and second, with their sharing, you can reduce the pressure on the winery, and you can also work together to make this cultural relics conference more grand. I don't know if this idea is feasible? ”
When Xia Hongsheng heard the words of the shopkeeper Wang, his eyes suddenly lit up, yes, this is a good way! After thinking about it, Xia Hongsheng said to the shopkeeper Wang: "Yes, this idea is very good. However, in this way, the scale of the civil and military conference is bound to be unprecedented. If the scale is too large, the impact will be too great, and this is not something that we can do just by saying it. ”
After saying this, Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Chengqian and Li Ke, the two met Xia Hongsheng's gaze, and were slightly stunned, but they heard Li Ke's keen reaction and said: "Brother Sheng, you mean that the scale of the civil and military conference is too big, and I am afraid that I will be impeached, so I have to pass my father's level first?" ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "That's right, the scale of the civil and military conference is too big, which will attract the worries and suspicions of the courtiers. After all, this event will gather many civil and military talents, and the hosts are all our industries, so it is inevitable that there will be suspicions of privately recruiting talents from all over the world. If we are just ordinary businessmen, it will be fine, but we all have dual identities, which is more likely to arouse the suspicion of the court. For such a big matter, if we don't let Your Majesty know in advance, we may be passive at that time. ”
"Yes, indeed." Li Ke nodded: "Then how do we convince my father?" ”
Xia Hongsheng smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple, we just need to report this matter to Your Majesty, and then know that this matter can not only play the name of these industries, make the future business better, but also discover talents in the world, so that Your Majesty can see those people who can't find ministers to recommend and have no way to find talents." In this case, His Majesty should agree. Which of you is going to say? ”
"The two of us?" Li Ke looked at Xia Hongsheng, and then at himself and Li Chengqian.
"Well, just the two of you, it is more appropriate for you to say this than I said, and the success rate is higher. On the one hand, there are already your shares in the industry of the wine shop and the glass shop, how can you not support your son's career? Both, as a prince, you can come up with a way to get the best of both worlds and be cautious in front of your father, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty will find it funny, and it will be easier to agree to you. Xia Hongsheng said to Li Ke and the others.
Li Ke smiled and shook his head: "Then it's better for the eldest brother to say, since the eldest brother is the prince, I think the father is more willing to see the eldest brother come up with this best of both worlds, and the eldest brother will say it, and it will be easier for the father to agree." ”
Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Ke and felt that he was very smart. Then he turned to Li Chengqian and said, "Yes, Chengqian, you still have to talk about this." ”
"Okay then." Li Chengqian said to Xia Hongsheng: "Then hurry up, you quickly teach me how to tell my father?" ”
The three of them discussed in the study for a long time, and finally discussed, and then went out for a day, and it was sunny in the morning, but in a blink of an eye, it was gloomy again.
Shopkeeper Wang said goodbye and left, Xia Hongsheng and the three brothers of the Li family walked to the front together, looked up at the sky, Xia Hongsheng said with annoyance: "I haven't seen the sun for a few days, it's only half sunny in the morning, and it's going to fall again." It is also difficult to serve people, and when it is not down, it is dry, and when it is down, it is annoying. ”
Listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, Li Chengqian showed a mysterious look, looked left and right, and then leaned closer, lowered his voice and secretly said to Xia Hongsheng: "Brother Sheng, let me tell you something, you must not let others know." Do you know that last night, there was a thunderstorm in the Yeting Palace! ”
Hehe, not only did my son know, but he was also called over overnight to listen to the Q&A of the scene, and he was also unified.
However, hearing Li Chengqian say this, Xia Hongsheng also cooperated and made a surprised look: "What? Lightning struck? ”
"Well, I'm worried." Li Chengqian nodded: "My father originally instructed us not to talk to anyone, but I was a little worried that someone would make a big fuss about it." I'm telling you to ask if you have any countermeasures. ”
"There's no celestial induction, and there's no king who is immoral, it's just an accidental natural phenomenon, don't think it's so magical." Xia Hongsheng patted Li Chengqian and said, "Don't underestimate your father, the impact of this kind of thing on Your Majesty is not even a cough." ”
"The book says that the heavenly thunder is a punishment from the heavens, and it is a warning to mortals that his behavior is immoral." Li Tai raised his little face and asked, "He also said that if people don't change repeatedly, they will be killed by thunder from heaven." Is this true? ”
Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Tai, saw that he was looking at him curiously, and then looked at Li Chengqian and Li Ke, who were also full of curiosity, so he scratched his head and said: "Then let me tell you a story about catching the thunder, once upon a time, there was a person, far away, his name was Franklin......
"Boom ......" A thunderous sound rolled from afar.
The three brothers of the Li family suddenly changed their faces, and hurriedly waved their hands: "No, no...... This meal can be eaten indiscriminately, and the words should not be talked indiscriminately...... Well, seeing that we are about to get down, it is better for us to go back quickly, so as not to go up and down halfway, and we will not come in a carriage today. ”
The three of them hurriedly said goodbye to Xia Hongsheng, and ran away without a trace.
Xia Hongsheng watched them turn the corner from behind, then rolled his eyes and stretched out a middle finger at the three cowardly and ignorant teenagers.
He put down his hand angrily, and when he turned around, he saw Qi Yong looking at him curiously. Suddenly angry Chong Qi Yong said: "What are you looking at?" What do you see?! ”
"Hehe, Childe, the little one didn't see anything! The little one is looking at the day that is about to fall. Well, I'll be down right away. Qi Yong hurriedly nodded and smiled.
Xia Hongsheng retracted his gaze and went home.
"Childe, you said that that Tianlei could really be caught?" Qi Yong was very interested in the story of the talented Xia Hongsheng being interrupted: "Childe, you must have seen Tianlei, right?" What does thunder look like on this day? ”
"Want to know?" Xia Hongsheng looked at Qi Yong and asked.
Qi Yong nodded vigorously, rubbing his hands and looking at Xia Hongsheng excitedly.
"This is easy to do, you go to make a big paper kite, and then tie yourself to the paper kite, and when it thunders and rains again, I will ask others to put the paper kite and you on it, so that you can see it." Xia Hongsheng shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Well, I can't do it, I can't do it! How can the paper kite carry a small one, if it is not killed by lightning, it will have to fall down and die, but it will die too much! Only then did Qi Yong realize that Xia Hongsheng was making fun of him, he smiled and waved his hand, ran forward to push open the door for Xia Hongsheng, and let Xia Hongsheng enter.
