Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Chapter 431

When Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji heard the news of the arrival of the Accounting Queen, they were both stunned.

The other party's intention to leave the palace at this time is naturally self-evident.

Sure enough, the first words Queen Changsun said when she saw the two of them were:

"It is a matter of expediency. I am here today mainly for food and grass matters. Do you have any other plans?"

"I am currently discussing the matter of food and grass with my uncle. There is no need for my mother to worry about it. I believe it will be resolved soon."

When Li Chengqian heard that it was really about food and grass, he hurriedly spoke, trying to cover it up.

Unexpectedly, Empress Changsun did not give Li Chengqian a chance to delay and continued to ask:

"Okay, you can discuss it now in front of me. I would like to see how you two nephews and uncles will discuss it."

From the moment Changsun Wuji saw his sister, he knew that the other party must know the details. When he came this time, he must have understood that the matter had reached a point where it could not be solved.

Otherwise, with my sister's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for her to leave the palace after His Majesty leaves Beijing.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji sighed and Li Chengqian said:

"Gao Ming, there are some things that you don't need to hide from your mother. She must have a solution when she comes here this time."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian immediately looked at Empress Changsun expectantly.

"Mother, is what uncle said true? Do you really have a way to solve this problem?"

Empress Changsun sighed, nodded and said: "Now that things have happened, I am the only one who can negotiate with Chu Mo personally. Maybe the other party will come out to see me because of my identity."

"No!"

"No!"

Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian exclaimed almost at the same time.

"Mother, you are worth a thousand pieces of gold. How could that untouchable Chu Mo be able to allow you to personally come forward to talk to him about that despicable businessman? Don't worry, even if it's not for food and grass, it's just for your face. Even if it's for your face. Even if we turn the entire city of Chang'an upside down, we must find him."

When Li Chengqian heard that his mother wanted to negotiate with Chu Mo because of him, he immediately roared with red eyes.

"Yes, sister, you are the mother of a country, how can you meet your foreigner at will, and you are still the profiteer Chu Mo."

"If this news reaches the ears of His Majesty and those old ministers, I'm afraid your life will be difficult in the future."

Changsun Wuji persuaded with an anxious look.

Empress Changsun waved her hand and said, "I have made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore. If Your Majesty finds out in the future, even if he blames me, I will be the one to shoulder the blame."

After speaking, he looked at the two of them seriously and continued: "Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian, I now order you two to post a notice to the entire Chang'an City immediately, and announce to the entire Chang'an City that I will represent me, Li Tang, at noon tomorrow. The royal family set up a stage in front of Zhuque Gate and invited Chu Mo to come and discuss important matters concerning the people of the world."

"I hereby swear to the people of the world that if Chu Mo comes tomorrow and there is even the slightest injury, I will commit suicide in front of the Suzaku Gate in front of the people of the world."

"I hope Chu Mo will not break his promise for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world."

After listening to Queen Changsun's words, Changsun Wuji's eyes suddenly lit up and he praised her wonderfully again and again.

"Queen, if this happens, even if Chu Mo doesn't want to come, he still has to come."

Empress Changsun nodded and sighed: "The reason why I made this move is because there is no other way. I hope it will not arouse Chu Mo's jealousy."

Li Chengqian was a little confused by what the two said, and asked in confusion:

"Mother, are you sure you can lure Chu Mo out this way?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said with certainty: "Chu Mo will definitely be there at noon tomorrow."

Seeing that his uncle and mother were so sure, Li Chengqian no longer hesitated and directly ordered people to post notices throughout the city.

When Chu Mo got the news, it was Li Zhenying who heard the news the next morning and came to inquire.

After listening to Li Zhenying's narration, Chu Mo was so upset that he scolded Empress Changsun a thousand times.

Seeing that Chu Mo was so resistant to this meeting, Li Zhenying couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart and said with concern:

"Chu Mo, since you are so resistant, then we can just not go. Why bother?"

Chu Mo sighed and said: "It is said that women have the most poisonous hearts, let alone a woman who can take care of the world. Why doesn't she have some special methods?"

"Queen Changsun invites me to come out for negotiation in such a big way. She really wants to put me on the fire."

"If I go today and the price has not been negotiated, the other party will just spread the word that I raised the price of food and want to take advantage of the country's financial difficulties. Then I will not be able to argue."

"But if I don't go, the other party can directly announce to the world that I, Chu Mo, am just a profit-seeking businessman who completely ignores the people of the world. Then those spitting stars will drown me."

"According to what you said, do you have to go now even if you want to go, or do you have to go if you don't want to go? And you have to sell the grain to them at the price they gave?"

"Doesn't this mean that we are led by their noses?"

Li Zhenying asked worriedly.

Chu Mo nodded: "This matter is indeed a bit tricky. The other party wants to use the righteousness of the world to suppress me. Even if I crawl, I have to crawl. Otherwise, I won't have to hang out in Datang."

Speaking of climbing, Chu Mo suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then called Yang Paifeng and said:

"Xiao Paifeng, go help the uncle get ready..."

After hearing Chu Mo's instructions, Yang Paifeng rolled his eyes and ran out immediately.

Not long after, he came back with a bunch of things.

As time goes by, the time agreed between Queen Changsun and Chu Mo will soon come.

At this time, most of the people in Chang'an City gathered near the Zhuque Gate, looking far away at the high platform in front of the gate, where the graceful Empress Changsun was sitting there worriedly, waiting for Chu Mo's arrival.

It seemed that the appointed time had arrived, but Chu Mo was still nowhere to be seen.

At this time, the crowd began to slowly become commotion.

I just heard a shout coming from nowhere: "Chu Mo, come out!!!"

Then, there were calls in twos and threes: "Chu Mo, come out!!!"

What followed was a series of shouts: "Chu Mo, come out!!!"

The sound shook the heaven and the earth, as if the people in the entire Chang'an City were shouting: "Chu Mo, come out!!!"

At this time, Chu Mo had actually been here a long time ago, hiding in a carriage on the roadside.

When he heard the shouting, he knew that the other party must have placed people in the crowd, intending to provoke conflicts between himself and the people.

So he said to Li Zhenying on the side: "Brother Li, your Li family is still working for Li Shimin after all. It's hard for you to come forward in this matter, so you can just stay in the carriage and watch the show."

After saying that, he let Yang Paifeng support him, slowly scared the carriage, and then walked towards the square tremblingly.
