Chapter 955

Yang Yi's palace is a long way from Tai Chi palace. Even riding a horse takes more than half an hour. However, there are few horsemen in Chang'an. Unless it is an official emergency, even those dandies will not ride through the market on high horses.

When Yang Yigang just succeeded to the throne, the great Sui Dynasty was still such an intoxicating and beautiful society.

The high profile of the children of the aristocratic family will never be reflected in domineering, but in the secret competition among the same class. It is undeniable that those who come from famous families look down on ordinary people, but they will never show it foolishly. This is the difference between the children of aristocratic families and naughty scoundrels. In the former dynasty, perhaps the two highly overlapped, but not in the great Sui Dynasty.

Wu Yi changed into clean clothes and didn't choose to walk. Instead, he spent five big money in a carriage through the city to the vicinity of Taiji palace, then sorted out his clothes and walked into the huge building complex he entered for the first time.

"Stop"

Before entering the city gate, he was stopped by the people in the inner guard office. The hundred households in the inner guard office in royal clothes frowned at Wu Yidao, and then pointed to his right arm: "take this off."

Wu Yidao's right arm was wrapped in black yarn.

"No"

Wu Yidao didn't explain anything, but shook his head and refused.

"You can't enter the palace without taking this off."

"OK"

Wu Yidao didn't argue, so he turned and left.

As if nothing had happened, he returned to the palace according to the original road, but he didn't take a carriage and walked all the way back. After returning to the palace, he changed the clothes with more body surface, and then took over a little girl from a little servant girl who couldn't speak a complete word. When he saw him, he was excited and opened her arms. Although the child is still so small, it looks particularly cute and beautiful.

"Steward, didn't you enter the palace and face the saint? Why did you come back so soon?"

The one who asked him was a girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old. She was the only little servant girl left in the yard. Like Wu, she is also the owner of the palace. She was left here after moving into the palace. No matter when the palace was busy or deserted, it seems that no one will pay special attention to her.

A big house is actually the epitome of a society.

Some are in favor, others are out of power.

The time that Wu and he entered the house was not long, which was shorter than the little servant girl named xiu'e. Now there are only three of them, Wu and others, left in this huge yard. The patrolling bodyguards in the mansion were not counted. They were guarded by a group of equally unpopular flying fish robes sent by the great interior bodyguard office, which almost had no intersection with the three of them.

A so-called steward, a daughter under the age of one year, and a little servant girl.

"Nothing"

Wu Yi shook his head and made his daughter laugh.

"By the way, steward... They didn't leave any money when they left. We don't have much to use."

Xiu'e looked at Wu with a sad look: "Your Majesty left in such a hurry when he entered the palace. After hearing this great event, others just went crazy and left us both. They didn't tell us how to solve our food and clothing expenses in the future and where to get the monthly silver."

"I see."

Wu Yi groped in his sleeve for a while and found some scattered silver: "take these first. I'll ask someone about the silver."

Xiu'e glanced at the silver in her palm. After a moment of silence, she couldn't help saying: "We've been abandoned. It sounds good to say that we stay in the palace. In fact, we just leave it here to live and die. When your majesty enters the palace, all the people in the palace are crazy. I don't know how many people fish in troubled waters and steal things. Now there are some valuable people in the house, and those flying fish robes are not strict, so they can't..."

"I can't do without it."

Wu Yi shook his head: "these things don't need you to worry about."

Xiue opened her mouth and finally just shook her head and walked away.

Wu Yidao put his daughter into a wooden car. Her daughter can stand with the railing of the car. He pushed the car to a cool place under the shade of the tree in the yard, and then looked for scissors to trim the garden. His daughter played very skillfully in the car without crying or making noise. Such a small person is so pitiful.

Wu Yi raised his head, took a look at the position of the sun, calculated the time, then called xiu'e and asked her to take her daughter to the house.

He sat down at the edge of the flower pool, and the muscle lines on his arm exposed from his cuffs were very beautiful.

"Do you know someone will come to you?"

Someone asked, not far away.

Wu Yidao didn't answer or turn around: "I know."

When the footsteps came from behind to in front of him, Wu Yidao found that this was a man wearing the iconic royal clothes of the imperial guards. He looked about his age. He was medium, not tall, not fat, white and clean. His eyebrows were a little collapsed, but it didn't affect his appearance.

"It's big and big, small and small."

The man in royal clothes pointed to himself: "my name is Hou Wenji, a thousand households in the Imperial Guard. A big thing for you may become a small thing after my report. Of course, it may also become a bigger thing. So I hope you can give me a particularly perfect answer, so perfect that I can satisfy your majesty without any modification."

Wu Yidao didn't speak, and his face didn't change.

"I was thinking that the reason why you entered the palace at the beginning was because of your bad virtue now. People like you are doomed not to be liked by the same kind, but also have the ability, so anything is doomed to push you out, while your kind takes advantage."

Hou Wenji's seemingly lazy expression seems to hide some thoughts: "I heard you used to be a businessman?"

"Now, too"

Wu Yi opened his mouth and replied, "whoever takes money to do business, no matter what he sells, even if he sells himself, he is also a businessman."

"Makes sense"

Hou Wen nodded: "interesting... I think people like you can be friends."

……

……

"How many years have you been in the house?"

The emperor sitting cross legged on the earth Kang of Dongnuan Pavilion glanced at Wu faintly, and his sight stayed on the black yarn on his right arm for a moment. When the new emperor ascended the throne, the people who met the emperor wrapped black gauze around their arms, which was somewhat unpleasant anyway.

"Return to your majesty, five months and four days a year."

"It's not early to come in. Who sent you in?"

Said the emperor.

Wu Yidao hung his head: "big prince"

His answer was so natural that he didn't hesitate or procrastinate.

"Who died at home?"

The emperor did not ask about the Grand Prince any more, but pointed to the black veil on his right arm.

"Wife"

Wu Yi replied.

The emperor was silent for a moment, bowed his head and continued to read the memorial: "you should know that being stopped at the gate of the palace may be a test of your ability. If you can't even pass this level, or miss an opportunity to change your destiny. Not everyone, I will give an opportunity to explain. Not everyone can enter my Dongnuan Pavilion."

"Do something, do nothing."

Wu Yi's answer was particularly simple.

The emperor seemed slightly stunned, then raised his head again and looked at Wu Yidao: "When you came into the mansion, you came in with a purpose. You are lucky that people like you didn't die. The reason why you and the servant girl stayed in the mansion is that neither of you has done anything too extraordinary. I clearly know who came from the mansion and what they have done, so I'm sure those who died won't be wronged. Those who didn't die are not indulgent 。”

"You say you can do something or not, then I ask you, why do you work for the Grand Prince?"

"Lack of money"

Wu Yi replied, "I lost my capital in doing business, and my wife was sick and pregnant."

"It may be strange that people like you don't lose money in business."

The emperor shook his head: "it seems that you are not the person I need."

When saying this, the emperor seemed to really lose interest in Wu Yidao.

"To do business, you need to be tactful, judge the situation, understand the general situation, and see the interests... These have nothing to do with you. Go. I have ordered that the silver needed by the government be distributed on time every month."

The emperor waved his hand.

"How much silver does your majesty need?"

Wu Yidao suddenly asked.

I don't know why, the emperor couldn't really hate this man. Even if the emperor knew that this man had entered the house, it was arranged by the Grand Prince. Maybe it was because they had some similarities, or maybe Wu Yidao stubbornly refused to take off the black veil on his right arm.

"A lot"

The emperor did not expect that he would pay attention to the man in front of him.

"Chen won't make small money, he will only make big money."

Wu knelt down and kowtowed.

"How big is it?"

The emperor asked, he did not stop Wu from becoming a minister.

Wu Yidao replied with a low head: "There are two kinds of wealth. One is real gold and silver, which is actually easy to earn. I did lose money in doing business and it was difficult to support my family. But I remember the personality characteristics of everyone who did business with me and the characteristics of every city I passed. In fact, these are another kind of wealth, which is more precious than real gold and silver."

"Your Majesty, the first wealth can buy the second wealth, and the second wealth can expand the first wealth infinitely."

"Is that why you chose the prince?"

The emperor asked again.

"Yes"

Wu Yidao's forehead touched the ground: "I didn't see it clearly."

The emperor couldn't help laughing: "even I didn't see it, let alone you? Because the loss of silver is a natural disaster, which has nothing to do with people."

Standing on the side of the earth Kang, Su Buwei glanced at the man kneeling on the ground, and then remembered the man's name in his heart. Wu Peisheng is a eunuch with a pen to screen memorials, so Su Buwei is waiting for the new emperor in Dongnuan Pavilion most of the time.

"I'll give you a job first."

The emperor came down from the earthen Kang and went to Wu Yidao: "you don't have any good places. There are two things I'm very satisfied with. First, you have your own persistence and don't change easily. Second, you know how to choose or not, and you have a good eye."

Su Buwei also looked at Wu Yi, and said in his heart, how can this man see through the emperor's purpose at a glance? Then have the courage to ask your majesty, you lack silver?

"I really need silver. All the money in the palace I use now is the savings of the original government, because I don't want people to say I'm extravagant behind my back. I'm careful to use the silver allocated by the Ministry of household for fear that those officials will bite the bullet. But I don't want to lose myself or the people who follow me, so I want to get some silver subsidies."

"But..."

The emperor glanced at Wu and said, "I won't give you capital because I don't have money. If you can't get silver, I'll let you go back and continue to sweep the yard of the palace."

"Not a penny?"

Wu Yi raised his head and asked.

The emperor nodded: "not a penny."

After a moment of silence, Wu Yidao said seriously, "then this business needs to be done very much."
