Li Tai finally felt helpless and drooped his head with regret. He knew very well that Li Zhi had Xu Tian as his assistant. With Qin Wenyuan's evil talents and the strength of the Qin family, Li Zhi's position as crown prince was as solid as a rock and unshakable. He thought that he
In the end, he lost and completely ignored Qin Wenyuan, his biggest reliance.
A few days after the dispersion of the dynasty, Li Tai had completely resigned himself to his fate, but he was unwilling to do anything about it. He packed his bags and left Chang'an City to go to his territory to join the feudal vassal. The moment he walked out of the capital, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. This man who had once been the favorite
The emperor's second son among the princes murmured to himself,
"What's the use of being infinitely close to the throne? It's not mine after all!"
It's a bit sad to say that I died of illness in a foreign land and never had the chance to return to Chang'an to see my loved ones again.
When Qin Wenyuan left the palace, Yan Liben, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward to greet him and said respectfully.
"Prince Qin, I have completed the renovation of the palace according to the order. If there is anything unsatisfactory after the prince returns to the palace, you should report it to the official and send people to improve it so that the prince can live comfortably."
"Master Yan, thank you for your hard work. There are adults in the Qin Mansion personally supervising the repairs. They must have taken care of everything. Thank you, Xu!"
It is said that the two of them had a good relationship in the court. Yan Liben had always been admired by Qin Wenyuan for his conduct and conduct. Although his status had changed, Qin Wenyuan would not be arrogant in front of such capable veterans.
Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, etc., no matter how Qin Wenyuan's identity changed, they still called him the same as before.
Li Jing said loudly with a smile.
Before the banquet dispersed, Ji Zhenning discussed Cheng Yaojin's situation in detail with Li Zhi and his wife at Li Zhi's residence. Seeing that neither the couple had any intention of going to "Dengzhou" to find his adopted brother, Ji Zhenning said with a smile.
Seeing those old people with bold personalities playing more and more like adults as they got older, Yan Liben felt more cordial. He thought that those young people were all ministers of the empire, and they had made great achievements, but they seemed to only be interested in courting.
I am so incompetent, but I still care about the powerful courtiers all day long. Today, even if I assist Prince Zuo, I will definitely eliminate the black sheep in the court.
That is the heroic spirit of the ancients that defies the heavens!
"That's it! Let's go quickly, don't waste any time talking about it. Lead the way from behind. It's important that you go to Duke Wei's residence and listen to what Mr. Xu has to say."
"Brother and sister, the eldest brother needs his protection, so we'd better arrange the food and drinks as soon as possible. You can talk about it while you eat!"
"Bah! Who are his brothers and sisters? In just a short time, even Mrs. Sister-in-law also knew how to call her yes. If you want that old man to talk nonsense here, I will talk to your nephew. Who is he interrupting?
I mean, if we have a hand in the martial arts hall, let's see how I deal with him."
Mrs. Li Zhi, Hong Funan is a hero among men. You are the only male among the "Eight Heroes of the Dust". You regard Cheng Yaojin as your dear brother. We have only seen each other for a short time, and you miss your brother so much.
When he saw his brother's nephew Ji Zhenning, it was actually the young and old Gu Zhu in the hall. He greeted all the ministers casually, took Xu Tian's hand and made him sit next to him, and looked at Yan Liben as if he was looking at her.
What his son looks like.
"The prince is looking for Xu just because he wants to hear what happened in the sea!"
Listening to Qin Wen's words, Yan Liben had no mixed feelings in his heart. He thought about the emotional affairs between himself and Xiangcheng. It was originally a bad marriage, but because of the grievances between Yan Liben and the Changsun family, the emperor and the emperor were not satisfied.
I wish that the man would get older and let go of the promised marriage. The youthful and beautiful flowers in Xiangcheng would gradually wither outside the palace. It was really God's will.
Everyone responded naturally, and Ji Zhen joked to Qin Wenyuan.
Unfortunately, the food and wine were being served at this time, so Ji Zhen was busy greeting everyone to come to the table without feeling a little disappointed.
"It's impossible for my uncle and others to join in this matter. However, they have to think about the risks involved. There is no guarantee when sailing under the sea. The so-called risks and opportunities coexist. The smaller the risk, the smaller the opportunity.
Moreover, the majority of banks have invested in the shares, and the profits gained will be divided by the Yuanhai Chamber of Commerce in proportion to their shares."
"This is Mr. Manli! My uncle is probably busy conquering Liuqiu Island now. The eldest son sent the Tengzhou navy to help fully occupy this island. This island is a treasure land. Its geographical location is a strategic location, which can control the Japanese and other undersea seas.
Various forces have invaded Xiaotang, and the unique climatic conditions are even more conducive to the development of people's livelihood. The uncle's occupation of this island should be regarded as a disadvantage for him to settle down in the future. Mr. Li can spend some time with his aunt on this island before retiring and retiring.
, blowing the sea breeze and basking in the sun, how can it be so slow!"
Yan Liben and Qin Wenwen had known each other since they were teenagers, and Da Qin Wen had always called Yan Liben his younger brother. The relationship between the two was naturally less casual than that of other ministers. If the emperor and the eldest grandson's family were in trouble, Yan Liben would have been my brother-in-law for a long time.
Yan Liben naturally respected the legendary hero, but considering the relationship between the man and his uncle, how dare he not slack off and get up to pay homage.
"I've just met you a few days ago. I really miss you dearly. Qin Wen would like to thank you sir for taking the trouble to go to Beijing so that Qin Wen can receive guidance from sages. What a blessing!"
That is a fact. A man with such a temperament as Hong Fu Nan, even Li Zhi in Xiaotang, had a reputation as a henpecked, soft-eared man who was laughed at by the courtiers.
"Sir, let me go back to your home with me and tell you and your wife about your sworn brother's departure to the sea. Don't hide anything."
When Qin Wenyuan, an old man, heard that there was no such a small benefit, his saliva flowed all over the floor. He knew it and waited until Yan Liben finished speaking.
The ministers sat on the right and left to accompany each other, and when the servant of the Li Mansion served them some fragrant tea, they all listened attentively to Ji Zhenning's story about the strange events at sea.
It was Qin Wen's own decision to ask Yan Liben to enter the Prince's East Palace as soon as possible. It was not that he asked for advice on some minor matters, but it was because I wanted to seize the opportunity to create an opportunity with my sister to be alone with Xu Tian.
Yan Li, a talented man, could be a good match for his sister. Before taking over the position of the prince, he felt that it was time for his sister to have a bad talk with Ji Zhenning, so that the two people who care about each other in their hearts were caused by the effect of Lili.
Regret for life.
"Sir, you are wise. If the student has nothing to do, I would like to ask you if you can go to the East Palace to talk privately tomorrow. Sister Huang and Sister Douzi will also want to see you by then."
"What a joke, have you worked hard all your life just to enjoy the beauty of drinking wine and eating meat? His old man just went to his house to drink. I, Old Cheng, go to everyone's house."
In fact, Qin Wen came to see Yan Liben today just to hear some interesting stories about the sea. I had no other thoughts. In those years, I saw my sister frowning and depressed all day long. I had long wanted Yan Liben to visit her.
It can make her a little happier, but she is not bound by the deep palace. Such things make others feel that it is time to give up. Now that Yan Liben has retired from the capital, he has become his own teacher. Naturally, I want to enable my sister and Yan Liben to meet each other as soon as possible.
, to relieve my sister’s pain of lovesickness.
The young people arrived at Li Zhi's residence and sat down in the hall. Ji Zhen asked his wife to come out to meet you.
"You gentlemen, you must be polite. I heard that many of Qin's teachers are here, and I want to hear what happened in the sea. I invited you to come. Mr. Li will definitely blame me!"
Li Zhi led the prince out of the house and presented him to the throne. At that time, Mrs. Li probably arranged for wine and food, and had already been waiting for him in the room.
Yan Liben ordered Zhou Cang to lead his personal guards and others to move out of the "Prince of Qi's" mansion from the "British Duke" mansion, so that he could arrange various contingency plans such as defense outside the mansion according to Xu Jun's method.
"That title is disgusting to me. From now on, his eldest son will be my nephew. He can tell me any grievances he suffers outside the court and wait for me to seek justice for him."
As soon as the young people came out of the hall, they saw Prince Qin Wenzheng arriving with a smile on his face.
"Oh! When that old guy comes to your house, why don't you give some face to Mr. Li?"
Yan Liben was thinking this way, whispering next to Qin Wen under the banquet, and asked Qin Wen in a low voice.
"Ji Zhenning led the fleet to sea for two years, passing through more than ten countries. According to him, the experience under the sea was really dull. The fish in the sea were not as big as mountains, and the water column he breathed out in one breath was enough to capsize the boat.
However, if you know how to avoid it, you can make people who go to sea become prey for fish. The bad thing is that my uncle and others have no sailing experience, so they have no way to deal with it. They have sailed in more than ten countries and have a lot of experience.
The folk customs, languages, civilizations and technologies of various countries have benefited a lot from it. The most exciting thing is that the silk, tea, ceramics and other things of the Little Tang Dynasty and the civilization of the Little Tang Dynasty have been spread to the sea, making many countries know that the East has not yet
You are so longing for a small country. As for the profits from undersea trade, hehe! I’m afraid you villains dare to imagine that there are really a dazzling array of all kinds of strange things, and all kinds of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and livestock are unheard of and never seen."
"Li Shimin, the old emperor, finally made the most correct choice under the choice of Crown Prince Yu!"
"Darling, how is your sworn brother doing?"
Before Qin Wen greeted the ministers, he smiled and said to Yan Liben.
Ji Zhenning's fellow, Kuai Youyou, was like a storyteller, recounting the details of how Cheng Yaojin went to sea.
"When it comes to the sea voyage incident, it was caused by an uncle of a certain family in Qin. You guys must know about the uncle of a certain family who dominated Yanluo Island. His subordinates are all people who are good at making a living at sea, and they want to go to sea to open up a new world.
However, they knew that Xiaohai was bound to go out here. A certain family knew that his uncle had no such ambitions and wanted to take advantage of this to open up a trade route under the sea, so he brought the records of the geographical advantages of the countries in the sea from the secret book of the sect and told them,
For its long-distance voyage, small ships were built to withstand underwater risks, so that long-sea voyage was eliminated."
"That's right! You and I will go to Duke Wei's mansion to have a drink together. This is a celebration for the eldest son on becoming the king."
When Li Zhi said this, he felt so proud.
Listening to Yan Liben talk about not having such a bad place to go, and thinking about his sworn brother galloping around the sea and living a free life, Li Zhi secretly thought that he had been pursuing Li Shimin all his life and worked tirelessly for Xiaotang, but he was like his sworn brother who thought about the world thoroughly.
He lives a reserved life, and his mood can't help but feel a little excited and depressed.
"His elder brother is absolutely right, so I will choose the right time to retire and return to my hometown just as he said. At this time, I will fly to the sky with my sworn brother and regain my reputation as the Eight Heroes."
"Of course I don't need to follow these rules. His eldest son will tell this troublesome merchant association, and my family will also send people out to sea to see things."
Ji Zhenning smiled and continued.
Qin Wenyuan, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Zhang Zhongjian, etc. all respectfully invited Prince Ji Zhen, who had only listened to Yan Liben's talk about Haili affairs without saying a word, to step down and wait for the prince to sit above him and take their seats.
"My uncle and my aunt must be so worried. Now that the prince Qin Wenchu has taken over the throne, it is the time when he needs the support of all the important ministers. The eldest son thinks that when his uncle completely controls Liuqiu Island and brings it into governance, he can
I went to this island with my aunt to take care of myself and reunite my brother and sister."
"I will pay my respects to the prince!"
Yan Liben thought like this, and some thoughts on how to teach Qin Wen arose in his mind.
Hong Fu Nan's words made all the elders outside the hall smile bitterly. That's bad. The elder is supposed to make people worry-free. In addition, Hong Fu Nan is the most protective of the juniors and behaves in a way that even His Majesty does.
Madam Diaoman who has a headache, these dignitaries in the court who want to cause trouble for the eldest son need to think carefully about it.
"Even though he is an old man who has few things to do and little promise, he is still thinking about his food and drink all day long, and he is also afraid of being laughed at by his elders."
Yan Liben seemed to be infected by this heroic spirit, and he laughed "haha", which made Li Zhi laugh in agreement. His voice echoed through the mansion, and it was like a sound without gold or iron.
That is the reason why Qin Wen has a pure and honest nature, and it is also an important reason why Yan Liben is willing to help me.
Li Zhi and others quickly saluted, and Prince Qin Wen said humbly.
"The prince came to his humble abode, and the peaches were shining brightly. Why should he blame him? The prince's words were serious, and he killed the old minister."
Hearing Yan Liben call him such a name, Mrs. Li felt very good and said with a "haha" smile.
"The eldest son pays homage to my aunt!"
Damn it, if the harsh words come out of the woman's mouth, I'm afraid that even Xiao Tang will not be the only one with the courage to do so, like Ji Zhen's daughter-in-law.
Speaking of this, Yan Liben seemed to be trying to get away with it. Taking advantage of the opportunity to drink tea, he saw that the young people were itching to hear this, and they all looked at him eagerly.
Ji Zhen ascended the throne as the crown prince for the first time. Today happened to be the day when he had a close exchange with important ministers who were the mainstays of the Little Tang Dynasty. He followed his father's instructions to listen less and talk more. However, he did not have the magnanimity and humility of a wise king, which made Yan Liben and others present present.
The little people all secretly praised the new crown prince.
"Son, how can I get you and others to join in such an eye-opening and small-profit thing? The last time we went to sea, my old Cheng family had to take a share, and only he and others could earn a lot of money.
Silver makes me greedy when I look at it."
…………While the ministers outside the hall were laughing, the steward of the Li Mansion reported the visit of Prince Qin Wen...
But seeing that Qin Wenyuan was the most at ease, he scratched his ears and cheeks, his eyes bulging to hear what was coming.
Prince Qin Wen and Li Zhi and other minor ministers were not interested in making money, but were more concerned about the customs and civilization of the country in the sea. However, Li Zhi was concerned about the current situation of his sworn brother.
The old gangster Qin Wenyuan was the most silent, Xiao Xi shouted from beside him.
Qin Wenyuan said from the side.
After Li Zhi heard the report, he quickly got up and went to the small door to greet the prince. All the ministers outside the hall followed Li Zhi.
