"Your Highness!" Changsun Wuji's beard turned white, his body was already old, and he exuded an unpleasant smell of decay.

"You know all the news, right?" Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji nodded when he heard this, with a solemn look in his eyes: "Things are troublesome."

"Can you give me any advice?" Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji.

After hearing the words, Changsun Wuji pondered for a long time and then said: "I heard that Wu Zhao, the legitimate daughter of the Wu family, has been alive since the forbidden war. She is more than four hundred years old now, but she still looks like a girl. Your Highness can ask the Wu family to

The girl proposes marriage. Among the major ancient clans, the Wu family’s vitality is the most intact, and Wu Zhao’s cultivation is also the highest.”

"The warrior Xun is one of the black and white in the netherworld. If he can capture the daughter of the Wu family, His Highness can delay the pressure from the saint. With the help of the Wu family's background, His Highness will have a chance to get involved in the nine-fifth position." Changsun Wuji

road.

"How can I explain to Wu Gu?" Li Shimin was stunned.

Changsun Wuji chuckled: "It's ordinary for a real man to have three palaces and six courtyards. It's up to me to say where Wugou is."

"I wonder if that Wu family girl will like me." Li Shimin said: "The Wu family girl has been in charge of the Wu family for hundreds of years without getting married. She is obsessed with martial arts practice and has been trying her best to revitalize the Wu family. I am afraid that it will be difficult for my highness to get her."

"This matter is not difficult. If you go ahead and lobby me, this matter will be successful immediately." Changsun Wuji said:

"Furthermore, Qin Xiaohua is sixteen this year. Among the descendants of His Highness, you can choose a good and talented person to propose marriage."

"The Qianzheng certificate is from heaven. Although I am hundreds of years older, we still have the magic medicine to extend life, so it is not a problem." Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji: "I will leave everything to you."

Xuzhou City

Zhu Mingxiao was studying in the academy, and the whole Xuzhou seemed to have suddenly calmed down. The whole Xuzhou city was very strange. Even Jianghu Caohuang had no news about it. He did not dare to cause trouble in Xuzhou city, so as not to be involved in the waves in Xuzhou city.

.

Jixia College

Zhu Mingxiao studied the book, and then put down the book in his hand after a long time: "We have to set a trap for Gongshuzi in advance. As one of the disciples, Gongshuzi will never sit still and wait for death. Even if I destroy his method of forging equipment, he will

Try your best to save the public losers."

"How can we push the public losers into a place of eternal doom?" Zhu Liming stood walking back and forth in the room. After a while, he suddenly slapped his head: "Yes! It's just that we need to find a good helper for this matter."

"The Wu family has accumulated wealth over hundreds of years, which can be said to be as rich as any other country. If this matter is controlled by the Wu family, it will definitely succeed." Zhu Liming thought of this and wrote quickly, quickly wrote the plan, and then ordered someone to send the document to the Wu family.

inside the store.

Chang'an

Inside the old house of the Wu family

Wu Zhao looked at the aging Changsun Wuji with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You mean Li Shimin wants to propose marriage to me?"

He was indeed shocked by Changsun Wuji's words.

"Although the girl is a strong person and a strong woman, she will eventually get married, start a family and start a career. The second young master is both top-notch in martial arts and literary talent. He has made great contributions to Li Tang in these years of conquering the south and the north, so he is worthy of it.

If you have a chance to marry me, you will be the mother of the harem in the future when the second young master ascends to the throne, and your mother will honor the world." Changsun Wuji said.

"To put it lightly, I remember that Li Shimin also had his concubine, Changsun Wugou, right? That Changsun Wugou is your biological sister." Wu Zetian looked at Changsun Wuji.

"Wugou is not worthy of Mother Yi's status in the world." Changsun Wuji complimented.

Wu Zhao smiled and walked back and forth on the pavilion with his hands behind his back. After a long time, he said: "If you want to marry me, Li Shimin must agree to three conditions."

"Don't mention three conditions. Even thirty or three hundred are accepted." Changsun Wuji said.

"Can you make the decision?" Wu Zhao asked curiously.

"Yes!" Changsun Wuji said.

"Okay!" Wu Zhao smiled: "Tell Li Shimin that I agree to this marriage."

Changsun Wuji was overjoyed and discussed some matters with Wu Zhao before leaving in a hurry.

"Miss, why did you agree to that Mr. Li?" The old servant came from the door with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Of course I have a plan. Besides, my daughter's family will eventually get married." Wu Zhao's eyes were deep: "The Li family has won the hearts of the world, and this may be my chance. Even if I can't seize the throne,

With someone taking care of me, I can escape unscathed."

As he was talking, he heard a soldier walking quickly outside the door. He stood outside the door and said respectfully: "Ancestor, there is an eight hundred mile rush sent from Xuzhou. It is said to be from Jixia College."

"Oh?" Wu Zetian frowned, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Get it quickly."

Let's say that Li Jiancheng came all the way to Xuzhou City, and then directly visited the weapons catalog and read out the imperial edict.

Qin Xiaohua had already received Zhu Mingxiao's instructions, but she did not resist. After receiving the imperial edict, she was about to go to Chang'an.

"Is Miss Qin married?" Li Jiancheng finished reading the imperial edict and began to woo her.

"My little girl doesn't compete with heaven and man, so she doesn't talk about marriage." Qin Xiaohua's light words blocked Li Jiancheng's rhetoric.

"Miss Qin is indeed ambitious and has the legacy of her grandmother. I think Miss Zhu Dan was also so ambitious and did not take the men in the world seriously." Li Jiancheng said with a smile.

"Do you know my grandmother?" Qin Xiaohua looked surprised, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"We have met before. I am hosting a banquet tonight. I wonder if Miss Qin is interested in hearing the story of Madam Zhu Dan?" Li Jiancheng said with a smile.

"Yes!" Qin Xiaohua said with bright eyes.

Time flies, and grass grows and orioles fly in a blink of an eye. Qin Xiaohua follows Li Jiancheng to the Ironware Department, and blacksmiths from various families are recruited by the court.

Countless disciples of the Gongshu family are like headless flies, thinking day and night about ways to break the curse. Unless there is a saint above them, I'm afraid the entire Gongshu family would have fallen apart long ago.

A gust of wind blew through Li Tang

On New Year's Day, Du Fuwei completely surrendered, and the land of Henan fell into the arms of Li and Tang.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month

Wu Zhao, the ancestor of the Wu family, joined the Li family and became Li Shimin's equal wife.

This incident spread all over the world. It is said that Li Yuan, who was in the palace at that time, smashed the most beloved jade lion statue of Zhaoye.

Not only the royal family of Chang'an was shocked, but also all the major forces in the world, including the Guanlong clan, the Shandong Group, and hundreds of schools of thought, were all shocked inexplicably.

The Wu family was definitely one of the big families that was no less powerful than the other disciples. With the support of the Li family, Li Shimin's power grew exponentially, completely suppressing Li Jiancheng.

For a time, the world was turbulent, and all the major forces in the world were trying to find out what was going on.

And from the beginning of the New Year, for some unknown reason, the price of jade all over the world suddenly began to rise. The price of jade skyrocketed, one price a day.

From the first to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the price of any kind of jade has doubled.

From the 15th to March, when the grass grows and the orioles fly, the price of jade has increased fifteen times. The supply of jade in the world exceeds the demand. As soon as jade appears on the market, it starts to be snapped up by various shops. Major forces have set up businesses one after another. The team went to the outside of the Great Wall to purchase jade in large quantities.

Foreign visitors traveling to and from the Central Plains exchanged all the specialties from the Western Regions for Hetian jade.

The skyrocketing price of jade suddenly aroused suspicion in the hearts of all the major forces in the world.

Millions of jade stones were acquired inexplicably, and the acquirers were the people who were married to Li Tang - the Wu family.

The Wu family suddenly purchased jade on a large scale, regardless of the price. The major forces in the world were immediately confused as to why the other party was collecting the jade. But since the other party was purchasing jade in unlimited quantities, the major forces in the world tried their best to collect it from all directions. jade, and then sell it to the Wu family.

Then jade became completely popular.

Carloads of jade were transported into Xuzhou and disappeared inexplicably in Xuzhou city. No one knew where the jade disappeared.

"Why do you collect jade, madam?" Li Shimin and Wu Zhao stood in the yard. Wu Zhao kept checking the documents one after another in his hand and kept sketching with his pen.

"Of course it is of great use." Wu Zhao said.

"Isn't it good to make a quiet acquisition? Why make such a big fuss? It's so coveted. You don't know that the number of people who come to my house to inquire about information is not only three hundred, but also two hundred. The civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China, and all the major families are curious. What are we buying jade for?" Li Shimin said, "How do you want me to reply?"

"It's best if you don't answer." Wu Zhao raised his head and seized the document: "If you have spare money, you might as well buy jade in large quantities like me."

"Aren't you afraid that this jade will be dropped in your hands?" Li Shimin was a little worried.

If such a large amount of jade were to fall into my hands, I'm afraid I would lose everything.

"Look at when I have done things I was not sure about and fought battles I was not sure about." Wu Zhao smiled: "The opportunity to make money is right in front of you. If you insist on missing it, there is nothing I can do."

After hearing what Wu Zhao said, Li Shimin laughed and stopped asking Wu Zhao why. Everyone is smart and can explain many things at once.

Wu Zhao is definitely setting a good example.

Ouchi deep palace

Li Yuan was sitting in front of the desk with a book in his hand and a frown on his face.

On the other hand, Pei Ju and other close ministers were constantly flipping through the ancient books in their hands.

In the center of the crowd, dozens of colorful jade stones were placed, quietly placed there.

"It's so abnormal! It's so abnormal." Li Yuan threw down the books in his hands and muttered: "The Wu family suddenly purchased jade in large quantities. It's so abnormal and completely unreasonable. The Wu family actually sold off all their businesses, shops, and land. All of them are going to replace the jade. Except for the papermaking technology, it can be said that the Wu family has been completely sold. What exactly does the Wu family want to do?"

"Besides being a decoration, what else can jade be used for?" Pei Ju lowered his head, took the jade, and looked at it in his hand:

"If I remember correctly, the former Lord Miao Youdao seemed to have purchased a large amount of jade when he was still alive."
