Tibet

After Li Ye came back, he found that his home had suddenly become ten times larger, and both Chenxiang Pavilion and Wangxian Pavilion were put into use.

The Agarwood Pavilion alone covers an area of ​​30 acres, with hundreds of halls and houses, various pavilions and pavilions. Each step has a beautiful view.

There is also Wangxian Pavilion, which is actually composed of three pavilions, with the main building in the middle and the two shorter auxiliary buildings. There are overpasses connecting the main and auxiliary buildings, surrounded by ring buildings. The building complex is built on both sides. A stone platform ten feet high.

Standing in the main attic, you can enjoy hundreds of acres of lake and water.

What Li Ye didn't expect in particular was that the third floor and above of Wangxian Pavilion were all equipped with glass. The intelligence of the Tang Dynasty craftsmen exceeded Li Ye's imagination. He only told the craftsmen how to blow glass.

Then the craftsmen began to explore on their own, blowing it into a tube shape, cutting it into a flat plate, and finally using diamond knives to cut the glass.

Finally, the glass is installed into the wooden frame and can be installed directly on the window.

Although it is a bit inconvenient to get in and out, Li Ye also likes the feeling of living upstairs. Living upstairs has a wide view and has glass windows. There is no need to open the window to let the wind blow in at night. Standing in front of the window, you can directly see the water in the night. Sparkling with waves.

Li Ye stood in front of the window, looked at the glass and smiled: "It's actually a floor-to-ceiling window, you can imagine it!"

At this time, Yang Yuhuan hugged Li Ye's waist from behind, put her pretty face against his strong back and smiled sweetly: "It's very strong, even several maids can't push it. It is said that it has two layers of glass."

Li Ye suddenly thought of the absurdity with Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace in the morning. His heart was filled with excitement. He blew out the candle next to him and hugged Yang Yuhuan across the carpet. The floor-to-ceiling curtains were completely opened. The moonlight came in and the water surface reflected outside the window. The waves on.

Under the moonlight, the two of them were in harmony, enjoying the pleasure of fish and water.

Yang Yuhuan liked this kind of affection under the moonlight very much. It made her feel like she was completely integrated into the world. She didn't have to worry about being spied on, and she could wholeheartedly enjoy the flying journey her husband took her.

After more than half an hour, the two finally calmed down. Li Ye lay on a low rattan couch. This was something he and Yang Yuhuan bought in Qiupu County. It was very ergonomic and very comfortable to lie on.

Yang Yuhuan lay on her husband's body like a cat, covered with a thin silk blanket. She closed her eyes slightly, still immersed in the extremely wonderful taste.

Li Ye gently touched her smooth forehead. As expected, this woman, a rare sight in a thousand years, was not affected by age. There was not a single wrinkle on her face. Her skin was still as elastic, as white as fat, soft and fine, making people love her so much.

And her appearance, her brows are as dark as dark blue, and her eyes are like autumn water. She turns her eyes slightly and her eyes flow, which is simply fascinating.

Yang Yuhuan slowly opened her beautiful eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, "My husband seems to be more brave tonight, what happened?"

Li Ye secretly exclaimed, a woman's sixth sense is indeed extraordinary.

Of course, he couldn't admit that Queen Mother Zhang aroused his desire to conquer. Li Ye smiled and said, "Maybe it's the atmosphere! For the first time under the moonlight, I felt like being in love with my wife in the wild."

"I like this feeling too!"

At this time, a maid outside reported, "Madam, please report from the front yard. The inner guard, Li Dutong, wants to see you!"

Li Chenghua asked for an audience. Li Ye knew that she must have something important to ask for at this time, so he nodded and said, "Invite her to come to the island!"

Yang Yuhuan quickly stood up, put on a gauze dress for himself, and then put on clothes for Li Ye.

Li Ye, led by two maids carrying lanterns, quickly went downstairs and came to the living room on the second floor. Li Chenghua was already here and was talking to Princess Dugu Xinyue.

Seeing Li Ye walking in, Li Chenghua quickly stood up and saluted.

Li Ye said apologetically: "I'm sorry that the commander-in-chief has to come in by boat!"

Of course Li Chenghua wouldn't care about taking a boat. This was her privilege. Of all the court officials, only she could enter Wangxian Pavilion.

"Your Highness, there is no need to apologize. When Your Highness was in Luoyang, the princess often summoned Beizhi to take her children to the island, and Beizhi even stayed on the island for a few nights."

Dugu Xinyue also smiled and said: "My husband is not here, so the craftsmen came to install the glass. Chenghua came with five hundred female guards to supervise the work. She was the first to come and the last to leave during those days. It was really hard!"

Li Chenghua was a little embarrassed and said quickly: "The princess said something serious. This is a matter of humble duty."

Li Ye smiled and nodded, "What's important tonight?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, there are two important things!"

Dugu Xinyue was about to stand up and leave when Li Ye waved his hand and motioned for her to sit down and listen.

He would go on expeditions frequently in the past two years. In his absence, the princess would represent him, so Li Ye also tried his best to let the princess hear about the internal guards.

"Please tell me, everyone!"

Li Chenghua bowed and said: "The first thing is that we found clues about selling illegal salt in Sichuan. It seems to be quite large. There are more than a dozen stores in Chengdu alone participating. Now we have basically found this line of selling illegal salt. , can be removed in one piece, but the leader of the illegal salt sales has not been found yet. Please tell me, Your Highness, should we wait until the leader is found and remove them all together, or should we cut off this illegal salt line first? "

Li Ye only received the report after he came back. Starting from the second half of last year, the salt tax in Bashu was reduced by half. The salt tax in the first three months of this year was even lower. Li Mi immediately realized that there was someone selling illegal salt, and the scale was It was very large, which would lead to such a serious drop in salt tax. He immediately applied to the princess, who used the gold medal to mobilize internal guards to assist in the investigation. In just two months, the investigation had some clues.

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "Don't be anxious for a while. After we find the leader, we will catch them all."

"I obey the order, and there is another important matter. I must make a decision tonight, otherwise I will not disturb His Highness at night."

"you say!"

"At noon today, someone is going to dig up a firearms craftsman."

Li Ye snorted heavily, he had known for a long time that someone would do this kind of thing.

At this time, the maid came in to bring tea. Li Ye took a sip from the teacup and explained the importance of gunpowder and firearms to his wife.

Dugu Xinyue smiled and explained: "I know, Chenghua told me in detail before."

Li Ye nodded and said to Li Chenghua: "Tell me in detail!"

"Reporting to Your Highness, there is a toothman named Huang Yaoqi. Yesterday he came to the toothman arranged by us in Zhaoxingfang and said that he wanted a firearms craftsman. The internal guard stationed in Zhaoxingfang realized the seriousness of the problem and reported it to the subordinate.

The humble job arranged for a fake craftsman to contact the buyer. They were going to meet the buyer at Shuixiantang, Wude Restaurant at noon tomorrow. Huang Yaoqi went to Ping'an Inn in Pingkangfang this afternoon and met a middle-aged man. Then the man We changed the inn and stayed at the Yuelai Inn in Dongshi. We were worried that he would escape and wanted to ask His Highness whether we should arrest him overnight tonight. "

"Did he discover your surveillance?"

Li Chenghua shook his head, "It's impossible for him to find out that his low-level subordinate is also pretending to be a businessman and living next door to him to monitor his movements."

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "Then let them meet at noon tomorrow. If they are sure that there is only one person, then start arresting him!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"
