At the gate of the palace, the general of Zuo Wuwei, Wei Ziwu, was riding towards this side, and just now he received an order from the emperor, so he immediately changed his imperial clothes and came over.

"Why did Your Majesty summon me and the others? But where is the war? When Wei Ziwu arrived, there were already several people here, all of them Wuxun who held the position of great general, so he asked curiously.

"I don't know, but before we came just now, there was an urgent report from the North Gate Pass, and it is estimated that something happened over there at the North Gate Pass!" Shangshu Li Guangxing said in a deep voice.

Yesterday, he only received the news that the North Gate Pass was burning wolf smoke, although it was only a provocation by the North Ghost Wolf Ride, but now the North Gate Pass has come back to the Red Ling Urgent Report, which makes him have a bad premonition.

"North Gate Closed?" Everyone was shocked, and their faces sank.

"Huh~ You have also received a summons from Your Majesty?" At this time, Mo Wentian came from a distance from a strong horse and greeted everyone.

And when they saw Mo Wentian, everyone's faces changed.

The Hongling urgent report from Beimen Pass made sense to summon these great generals, but Mo Wentian had already stepped down from his post since the death of his third son in battle, and he was at ease as the Duke of Yuguo, basically not caring much about the affairs of the dynasty.

Call him over at this time... Coupled with the fact that the Hongling urgent report came from the North Gate Pass, they suddenly had a more bad premonition.

"Isn't it Mo Jiashiro what happened again?" This speculation immediately lingered in everyone's minds.

As former comrades-in-arms and brothers, everyone is very sympathetic to the Mo family's affairs, and if there is a problem with Mo Family Shilang again, it will really be amazing.

Instead, Mo Wentian looked puzzled, why did everyone look at him with a very strange look?

However, although he was puzzled, he still arched his hand apologetically towards Wei Ziwu and Li Guangxing, the secretary of the military department.

After seeing his action, the two reacted, especially Li Guangxing, and said with some gritted teeth: "Old man Mo, you old dog is really not a son of man, selling me three thousand catties of refined salt at the market price!" "

Although the matter of extracting refined salt from the poisonous salt mine has not yet been announced, after Sun Wenshan and them came out of the palace, the news that the Mo family mastered the extraction of refined salt from the poisonous salt mine has already spread among them.

Those who traded with the Mo family immediately regretted not starting out, among which Li Guangxing was the most, he was the same as the Mo family, they were all emerging nobles, and the family did not have the background of those family families, and now everything in the family was fought back by him with Tang Jiemin's knife and shot, so after being asked by Mo Tiankeng, he was naturally distressed.

As for Wei Ziwu, he didn't care, the refined salt he exchanged was originally because of his family's needs.

"Lao Li, can you blame me for this? I originally went to trade with Longxi Dou's family, but I happened to be bumped into by you, I didn't trade with you in the first place, right? You yourself rushed up to me, what can I do? Mo Wentian said with an innocent face.

He really didn't plan to pit Li Guangxing at the beginning, not because he was poor, but because there was no need, a large number of nobles of the family were waiting for him to trade, there was no need to go to Li Guangxing, but the other party himself felt that it was profitable, and he forced him to take three thousand catties of goods, he refused and could not refuse, after all, the head of the Dou family was on the side at that time.

And this is also what Li Guangxing regrets the most, it's not that he can't afford to lose the three thousand pounds of refined salt, even if there is a new salt making secret recipe now, but when the price of refined salt drops, it is not known when, he can sell it at market price at any time.

The main thing is that this is done, just like he is the stupid roe deer, jumping into the trap of others, or the kind of rush that can't be driven away.

"This matter must not be spread outside, otherwise my family will go to your house every day to eat!" Li Guangxing whispered in Mo Wentian's ear.

"Rest assured, rest assured... I will never spread this matter, but Old Man Dou, you go and do it yourself, he is a long-tongued woman, maybe he will tell you it a long time ago! Mo Wentian nodded, looking righteous and thin.

As everyone knows, before going out, he and his daughter-in-law laughed at Li Guangxing there.

The rest looked at Mo Wentian who was talking and laughing there, all silent and did not speak, speculation is always speculation, as long as it has not been confirmed, they cannot talk nonsense, and... If you can make him happy for a while, be happy for a while!

Wei Ziwu and Li Guangxing also did not entangle more about the matter of refined salt.

A while later, after Duan An, the last Shangshu Duan An of the Ministry of Works who arrived, a little yellow gate stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, follow me into the hall when everyone arrives!" Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time!

"This father-in-law, may I ask what happened when His Majesty summoned me and waited?" Duan An, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Works who came last, asked faintly with some unease.

He just looked around, and there were all generals coming! In addition to the Great General of Right Wuwei, the Duke of Shangzhu State and the Duke of Ji State, Qin Hongyuan, almost all the great generals who had actual positions in Kyoto came.

Qin Hongyuan, the Duke of Ji State, is the father of Mo Qing's second sister-in-law, and he was the first hero of the Great Xia Dynasty in his armed forces, and he experienced more than a hundred battles in large and small, and now he is middle-aged, his body begins to weaken, although he still has the position of the general of the Right Wuwei, but like Mo Wentian, he is almost no longer in the dynasty.

He also asked His Majesty to resign several times, but Tang Jiemin, for the sake of his past merits, did not allow it, but only arranged another deputy for him, so that he did not really have to manage the Right Wuwei.

Duan An's inquiry made several people who had guessed before raise their hearts, if it was really Mo Jiashiro's matter, then it was best to call the imperial doctor first.

"Sorry, Lord Duan, the villain really doesn't know, but His Majesty is in high interest today, and he also danced on horseback in the martial arts hall for a while before!" Xiao Huangmen shook his head and said softly.

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and they became more and more unclear about the reason why Tang Jiemin summoned them.

Soon, everyone followed Xiaohuangmen to the Yanwu Hall, where Tang Jiemin was waiting for them.

Because he wanted to show the new stirrup later, he specially suggested that this summoning was arranged in the Yanwu Hall, otherwise he would not normally summon the courtiers here.

"Ministers... I have seen Your Majesty! After Mo Wentian and the others saw Tang Jiemin, they bowed and saluted.

"Okay, are you all here? Where is Shangshu of the Ministry of Work? Tang Jiemin waved his hand, indicating that everyone was casual, and then asked.

"The minister is here!" Duan An did not expect that the emperor would be the first to name him, and immediately stepped forward from the end of the team and saluted Tang Jiemin again.

The main thing is that he is a civil official, and the rest are either generals or dukes, and he really does not dare to mess around with a Shangshu of the Ministry of Engineering, otherwise he will have no place to reason if he is beaten, and this group of people is not reasonable people.

"Come and see this drawing, your engineering department may produce it?" Tang Jiemin didn't talk nonsense, and after giving the old eunuch Nameless a look, he asked directly.
