Chapter 581
Wang Hua saw this Zhang Lingjun.

Under 40 years old, wearing a very ordinary navy blue robe, but very refreshing, giving people a very quiet and elegant feeling.

Zhang Lingjun took out a gift box from his side, and first opened a lacquer box, which contained an oiled paper package wrapped in red-orange silk cloth. Picked Mingqian tea."

Famous teas mentioned by later generations are nothing more than Longjing, Biluochun, Guazipian, Houkui, Tieguanyin, Guazipian, etc., but in the Tang Dynasty Xiazhou tea was the most famous. Lu Yu put Xiazhou tea in the "Tea Classic" The first place refers to the tea produced in Yidu, Yuan'an and Yiling counties of Xiazhou.In particular, some old tree teas on high mountains, like Wang Hua's perfume, have a price but no market.

It may not be a thousand-year-old tree, but since Zhang Lingjun said so, it must have been picked from a few hundred-year-old tea trees on the Yiling Mountains.

Of course, the fame is also brought out, it may not really be the first tea in Xiazhou. In the Song Dynasty, it became the first in Jiannan Mengding Stone Flower, the second in Guzhu Zisun, the third in Dongchuan Shenquan Xiaotuan, and the third in Xiazhou. The four famous species ranked fourth.

But at this time, Xiazhou tea was famous all over the world, and it was picked from rare old trees.The value of these two catties of tea cannot be imagined by ordinary people.

Another scroll was taken out, and it turned out to be a painting of Yan Liben's ladies. The scroll was about [-] to [-] centimeters long and [-] centimeters wide. The main body was a lady looking at the scenery in the garden. Following, there were two servants in the distance, one was sweeping the garden with a broom, and the other was repairing flowers.The layout of the whole picture is reasonable, and the lines flow naturally.Wang Hua of Yan Ji was very familiar with it. After seeing the picture, Wang Hua immediately concluded that it was the real copy.

Wang Hua said, "Thank you very much."

Among the congratulatory gifts he received, these two things may not be the most expensive, but Li Chongfu, a troubled prince whose father doesn't hurt and mother doesn't love, is also in distress, so it is not easy to take out these two things.

"A little courtesy, don't worry about it," Zhang Lingjun looked behind Wang Hua after he finished speaking.

Wang Hua asked the others to retreat, leaving only Zhu Dian to introduce: "This is Mr. Zhu."

"Long-awaited, long-awaited," Zhang Lingjun immediately stood up and said respectfully.As an aide, Zhu Dian can be said to be the person that all the aides yearn for and envy.

Then began to get to the point, Zhang Lingyun said: "My Highness often mentions Mr. Wang in Junzhou, and every time your name is mentioned, he is full of praise and yearns for it in his heart."

Wang Hua and Zhu Dian looked at each other, and thought to themselves, the mention was indeed mentioned, but the praise never appeared.

Zhang Lingyun didn't know that the only difference between him and Li Chongfu was how to go to the bathroom, so no one else knew.He continued: "Director Wang loves the country and the people, but now that the traitorous empress is in power, she seems to be in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty. His Highness is really worried. Therefore, let me come here to negotiate with Director Wang."

"What is the negotiation?"

"Vavy!"

Wang Hua and Zhu Dian looked at each other again, and both gasped in their hearts.

Vavey?Even though Li Xian was taking back his rights step by step, he still didn't really want to execute Webster in his heart.

If you assist him to drive Zhu Wei out of the court, Li Xian will agree to support him, but if you want to kill his wife, you will turn your face immediately.So like Li Dan, or Lao Tang, that is, Zhang Shuo and others, they only talk about treacherous ministers in power, and they don't talk about Webster.That's why.

Even a staunch person like Yan Qinrong only talked about Webster's evil deeds in front of Li Xian, but he didn't say that he wanted to kill Webster.

Once this banner is played, it is tantamount to launching a war against the entire Tang Dynasty, and the consequences are no less than that of Xu Jingye back then.

Moreover, there is a faint big event about to happen in the court, and they can't even feel the coming of this storm, so there is no big cause to talk about.

But they all guessed that the reason why Li Chongfu wanted to rise up must have been instigated by Zheng Yin.

This time for the same crime, Song Shi was demoted to Xiangzhou as the governor, while Zheng Min was the Sima of Jiangzhou.The two offices are completely different in nature.

Speaking of which, Xiangzhou is not as populous as Jiangzhou, but its geographical location is very important. It sits on the south of the Yangtze River and remotely controls the two capitals. Therefore, it is one of the few tight states in the Tang Dynasty.And it is very close to the capital, and can be recalled to the capital at any time, but Jiangzhou is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is only a central state.And Song is the governor, Zheng is just a Sima.

Looking at Zheng Min's behavior, he first defected to the Zhang brothers. After Zhang Yizhi was punished, he was demoted to Xuanzhou Sima, and then he immediately joined Wu Sansi with Cui Riyong, Ran Zuyong and others. After Sansi's death, he immediately presented "Sang Tiao Song" to Webster.

So this person is very good at speculation, he found Li Chongfu, one is that Li Chongfu is the actual eldest son of Li Xian, and he has righteousness in hand.The second is that Webster is not popular. If he succeeds, he will be a meritorious service in opening the dynasty. If he fails, maybe he will also have a way to escape the catastrophe as before.

But Wang Hua and Zhu Tong pointed with their eyes, and they were secretly fortunate that when Wang Hua was selecting candidates, it was also fortunate that he did not find this Highness, otherwise they would not know how they would have been killed by this brainless prince.

Zhang Lingyun didn't know the inside story of this, he continued to make a generous speech: "Director Wang, now the demon queen is in power, confusing the court. At this time, with the power of the king, coupled with the righteousness of your highness, this sincerity is actually repeated. The virtues of Zhou Gongzhaogong in ancient times. I hope the king will think twice."

Wang Hua said in his heart: Dayi, what a fart of righteousness, if you want righteousness, there is a person in my hand who is more righteous than you, and no matter how stubborn he is, his mind is stronger than your highness, the frog in the well.

But Wang Hua still smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, this matter is not trivial. It not only affects the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the blood camp, but also affects the world. Let me think twice before acting. If I think about it, I will write to His Highness immediately. "

Zhang Lingyun also knew that this was the truth, and it was impossible to convince Wang Hua immediately with a few words. Fortunately, Lingzhou is a little far away from Junzhou, but it is not very far from Minzhou to Junzhou. From Minzhou to Chengzhou is Xingzhou. When you arrive in Xingzhou, take a flat boat to Liangzhou, Yangzhou, and Jinzhou to arrive at Junzhou.

He stood up and said again: "I heard that Mr. Wang has a strange person to teach him some martial arts."

This matter also made Wang Hua very puzzled, but it was just Wen County who met him, and later stuffed Li Xuejun for himself, and never heard from him again.Although he doesn't really believe in superstition, he also can't explain many things.For example, his own time travel, or Zhang Guo's talk about controlling the world.I didn't believe it at first, I just wanted to live a prosperous and comfortable life, but now I have indeed reached the position of controlling the world.

He did not evade Zhang Lingyun's question and nodded.

"Then can Director Wang believe in Gemology?"

Geomancy is the theory of Feng Shui, but it is not yet fully mature, and some people have begun to pay attention to it.

Wang Hua replied: "I don't believe it, but I don't object to someone believing it."

"My Highness met a strange man in the past. He once said to His Highness that there is no better place in the world than Wudang. It lives in the heart of the Central Plains. It is surrounded by water and looks at the river. It overlooks the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River in the east, and the prosperity of Bashu in the west. A place to raise dragons. I wonder if this is true? (Li Xianliu demoted Fangzhou to the south of Wudang Mountain, while Junzhou is to the north of Wudang Mountain, so Zhang Lingyun said this)”

Wang Hua almost laughed, and even said Feng Shui, he shook his head: "Forgive me for being difficult to answer, I am not proficient in geomancy at all."

Zhang Lingyun was even more upset, so he had to leave.

Zhu Dian looked at his back and said to Wang Hua: "Even King Qiao came out, this is getting more and more interesting."

"Mr. Zhu, watch a play."

The reason why he didn't explicitly refuse was to see how the big drama was staged.

Following the arrival of Zhang Lingyun, several giants sent people to Lingzhou one after another.

First of all, Princess Taiping sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, plus a poem:

It's hard to fall asleep when the moon is full, and the solitary building leans upwards and it's cold just before dawn.The fragrant golden lock wets the powder sleeves, and the blue bird's book is passed down to the mountain.

The wind slaps the curtain to scare the hibiscus, and the red sun sings the bitter cuckoo on the window.What day will you take a ride to Tokyo, and a round of flags will fly in Pingchuan.

After Wang Hua saw this poem, he immediately burned it, and must not let Li Hong and the others see it again.But there is no reply. Just a poem can make me lead an army of tens of thousands to work for you?Even Li Bao'er can't do it.

But this woman is very shrewd, and she also knows this truth. This matter should not be rushed, but must be fought slowly.Before that, she had to warm Wang Hua's heart, and she did it very cleverly, only talking about feelings, not kindness.This approach is much more clever than Zhang Lingyun and Li Chongfu.

Then Wang Hua received another letter, from Shangguan Xiaowan and Li Bao'er.

Shangguan Xiaowan explained the situation and explained it for Li Gu'er.How to do it?He defected to Wang Hua, and was not very familiar with the women in Wang Hua, so he could only tie up Li Bao'er to fight for more right to speak.

After Wang Hua read the letter, she understood her plan, and rubbed her head involuntarily. One was that he couldn't explain to Li Hong and the others, and the other was that this woman had a very serious heart. If she kept it by her side, there would be many troubles in the future. .

I read Li Gu'er's letter again, it didn't say much, but it was very sad.

After reading the letter between Shangguan Xiaowan and Li Guer, Wang Hua realized that he had misunderstood Li Guer.

However, it also surprised him that when he learned the truth of the matter, his mood was very calm and there was no disturbance at all.

After thinking about it, I wrote a letter to Shangguan Xiaowan, but wrote a sentence after the letter: the ocean is vast, and the sunset is infinitely beautiful.

Even if Shangguan Xiaowan didn't help her, Wang Hua would also save this woman.Her fate is very similar to her own, they both climbed up from the bottom step by step.It's just that one is in the palace and the other is outside the palace.But because of the favor of Wei Shi and Li Xian, she and her family did many illegal things.After this big change, if she wanted to call the wind and rain in the capital, it would be impossible.

So we must leave the capital and leave the Tang Dynasty.

If he is reluctant to leave the Tang Dynasty, he is also helpless.

The letter to Li Gu'er was very simple, one word: wait.

Don't dare to say much, it is possible that even the people around her have placed Webster's cronies.If Li Gu'er made any abnormal behavior, Webster would be able to detect it.This is what Wang Hua didn't want to see. Anyway, this time, there is really no need to wait for a long time. Everything will come to light in a few months!
After sending away Shangguan Xiaowan's confidant, another important boss appeared.

Webster sent a confidant eunuch beside her, and Wei Jian, a disciple of the Wei family, arrived long after.

Webster sent nine luminous pearls and a centuries-old red ginseng tribute from Korea as congratulatory gifts.The Wei family also brought grand congratulatory gifts, as well as an original manuscript of "Xiping Stone Classic" written by Cai Yong, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Wang Hua looked at the paper repeatedly, and then at the handwriting, but he couldn't tell if it was real or not.Of course, just because of this generous demeanor, there is hidden handwriting of the palace, and this manuscript is also very valuable.But he knew that from the Jin Dynasty onwards, many literati liked to make fakes, fake "Shangshu", fake "Zhuangzi", fake characters and fake paintings, such as Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface", and later there were many versions in the world.This was all faked by boring literati during the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Of course, if the manuscript is authentic, it will be worth a fortune.

Wang Hua looked at it for a long time and decided to give up the research, because this stone tablet was engraved by Emperor Han Ling for nine years after Cai Yong wrote the words, and then placed outside the gate of Luoyang Taixue. More than four feet, quite spectacular.At that time, many students came to imitate. It is recorded in "Hanshu": When the stele was erected, those who observed and copied it filled the streets with more than a thousand cars a day.It's easy to fake.

Coupled with the subsequent war, this stele disappeared, and it was not until a long time later that some remnants of the stele were gradually excavated. Now this manuscript, let alone Wang Hua, probably has no one in the entire Tang Dynasty who is knowledgeable to distinguish the true from the false.

He put the manuscript away, and then talked with the servant and Wei Jian.

The eunuch began to pass the message on behalf of Webster, asking Wang Hua where he would take his son since he was married to the wife of the Wang family.If you want to marry Bao'er, please send someone to the capital to discuss marriage.This time I will give you a satisfactory answer.

With a few simple words, Wang Hua continued to pretend to be crazy, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Queen for your kindness, I can propose marriage, but I don't know if it's a real permission or a fake permission this time?"

"Director Wang, please don't worry, this servant is willing to guarantee this matter with his wealth and life." The servant said in a sharp voice.

Wang Hua hesitated again on his face.

In fact, he was thinking about another matter, and finally put the marriage on the table. Could it be that Webster was ready to do it so soon?

After a while, he said: "That's good. I'll send someone to the capital to discuss with the queen. I hope the queen won't let me down again this time."

"No, no," the eunuch said with a satisfied look at Wang Huaruo's expression.

Only then did Wang Hua turn his head to look at Wei Jian, a disciple of the Wei family.

Wei Jian looked at the young man in front of him, feeling uneasy.

He said respectfully: "People in my family also have something to say to Mr. Wang."

"Please say."

Seeing that there was no anger on Wang Hua's face, Wei Jian gradually relaxed. He said, "The elders in the family first apologized to Director Wang. There have been some misunderstandings. But Manager Wang is a person who does big things, and there are many adults, so I implore Mr. Wang and my family to let go of the past. In addition, in order to express our apology, my family cooperated with the court and returned all those pieces of real estate to Mr. Wang."

The so-called real estate refers to several proven inkstone producing areas, and Wang Hua bought the land.To put it bluntly, it is to protect effective resources, prevent excessive exploitation, and waste these inanimate resources.To be honest, it's for exclusivity.

Of course, without guidance, many high-quality inkstones will be artificially destroyed.

In addition to these inkstone lands, there are other real estates, mainly the raw materials for making porcelain, and Wang Hua's father, Wang Yi, bought many lands.

The origin of the raw materials for the porcelain was sold to [-] companies. Of course, Wang Hua still holds a part of the shares in the middle, but these shares are kept in the dark.In addition to the porcelain industry, there is also the industry in Qinzhou, which was also transferred to the Wang family in Taiyuan on the surface. In fact, Wang Hua did not lose a cent of the industry shares.

After Wang Hua escaped from Luoyang, these properties were not taken back by the court because they were dealt with in a timely manner.However, Wang Yi's property, as well as the real estate of several large inkstone mines and the origin of several strange stones, were all taken back by the court and handed over to the Wei family for management.

But the Wei family also didn't please.

Because Wang Hua took the skilled workers away, these workers searched for stone materials and also found copper mines for the court, accumulating some practical knowledge.So they were sent to the South Sea islands and Oceania, given preferential treatment, and turned into a search for mineral deposits.In just one year, they made great achievements and found a gold mine and two small copper mines in the Luzon Islands.Find a silver mine, a copper mine, and three iron mines in Oceania.

But the Wei family was dumbfounded.

The preciousness of inkstone lies not only in the stone material, but also in the stone eyes, stone stars, stone halos, and textures. Some eye star halos are just such a thin layer. In countless stones, there are only a few halos. Without guidance, the entire stone cannot be stripped off and slowly ground with tools, how much will the cost be.

So after mining indiscriminately, they all stopped.

This incident made the people of the Tang Dynasty laugh at it, but it caused another result. The prices of all kinds of strange stones and strange inkstones that Wang Hua had previously lost continued to increase by more than ten times.

Originally, when the court negotiated peace, it decided to return these properties to Wang Hua.But the Wei family was implicated, and the imperial court deliberately did not mention it. If Wang Hua must be taken back, the imperial court had no choice but to use this to threaten the Wei family.But I didn't expect that Wang Hua didn't mention it either.

It's not that they don't want it, once they get it back, they have to transfer the technicians back. Now that the political situation is changing three times a day, these technicians are placed in the open, which is equivalent to taking the initiative to send a handle to the court.

Just like Zhang Jiuling and Yan Tingzhi, Wang Hua invited several times, but under the surveillance of the court, there was nothing he could do.Now there is a negotiation to invite them to Lingzhou, but these two people still refuse, which makes Wang Hua very annoyed.

What can I do?

Who asked him to find two Qingliu brothers-in-law?These Qingliu are loyal if they are nice, and stubborn if they are not.

Therefore, Wang Hua didn't want to worry too much.

And now this profit is not in his eyes.It just makes Li Hong feel a pity that he invested a lot of money at the beginning, but now he has only recovered less than half of it.

There is only one place where the Taoshi production area in Taozhou was taken back by Wang Hua. Unfortunately, the output of Taoshi is very small, and the profit is not in Wang Hua's eyes, and it is regarded as an elegant thing.Sometimes encounter some rare ink stones,

For example, green stone with water ripples in dark green, black spots with deep black spots in green, willow leaf green with cinnabar in green, red rose in color? , the yellow standard green stone with mixed yellow in the best green pattern in Tao inkstone.

But when he arrived in Lingzhou, it reminded him of the alternative inkstone, the extremely rough Ningxia sapphire Helan stone. This kind of high-quality stone inkstone was produced in Helan Mountain.

After getting the stone, he personally performed the knife, but Zhu Dian and the others forced him to remonstrate, so he had to let it go.It made him more than depressed.Now that the power is strong, a lot of fun is lost.

After Wei Jian finished speaking, he took out the land deeds.
At first, Wang Hua concealed it very well, but after seeing these land deeds, he finally sulked on his face, and said: "I bought these properties with money, and there is no need for your family to return them. And it should be mine, don't mention you The Wei family can't take anything away. I still have things to deal with today, so I won't accompany you."

Just drive them away.

But I didn't expect to alarm Zhang Shuo.

In fact, this servant and Wei Jian came to Lingzhou quietly.This eunuch can't be exposed, and the Wei family can't save face.

However, because Zhang said that he was the servant of the Six Departments, he was often called into the inner hall by Li Xian to discuss matters.

Wei Jian didn't know him, but he knew the eunuch.Know that he is a popular person around Webster.

Seeing them leave Lingzhou City, he immediately found Wang Hua, and said sarcastically, "Director Wang, I never thought that you would be so shameless."

Wang Hua choked, and said angrily: "Zhang said, because I still have a little respect for some of your character, so I have been tolerant to you, but don't do it too much. Excuse me, how did I offend you? !"

"Then why did you have a secret relationship with the eunuch next to the queen?"

"Come here," Wang Hua picked up Zhang Shuo in his hands, almost carrying them into a room where valuable gifts were stored. He took the tea leaves and paintings from Li Chongfu, the thousand pieces of brocade from Princess Taiping, and the kyu from Li Xian. He took out the night pearls from Wei Shi one by one, and said: "Here are gifts from Princess Taiping, King Qiao, the Emperor, and Empress Wei, and even Li Longji will arrive in Lingzhou soon. , if according to what you mean, it’s not right for me to associate with them. Well, I don’t associate with them alone, then tell me, who do I associate with?”

The general trend of the world, Li Xian is now orthodox.But everyone who stood at the top of the pyramid knew that he was in danger.The only ones who can accept orthodoxy are Webster, King Xiang, Princess Taiping, and the weakest King Qiao.

Abandon them, unless Wang Hua wants to become king on his own.

Zhang said he was also dumbfounded when he saw these gifts.

Wang Hua said again: "I told you a few days ago that the world is dominated by the virtuous and the powerful. Don't talk about loyalty, honesty and shame. That's what the superior deceives and enslaves the people. The country is not about the throne at all. Orthodoxy, just like now, if another emperor is changed, nine times out of ten he will do better than the emperor. A truly virtuous person does not consider the interests of the emperor, but the interests of the people. So Mencius said that the people are the most important, the society is second, and the king It's light. You read a lot of books and read them back. Eh, no."

The kid didn't look back, his vision was very accurate, otherwise he wouldn't value Li Longji, so Wang Hua said again: "Either way, I heard from my subordinates that the third son is now in Yuanzhou City, and he came here secretly. He deported?"

This sentence hit Zhang's sore spot, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he slipped away.

But Wang Hua was thinking about one thing, Li Longji came, did he come up with the question he raised?It can't be that awesome, can it?
