Chapter 278 Lingnan affairs

Li Zheng was a little melancholy, and said to her: "Your Highness, the perfume is very fragrant, right?"

"En." Li Lizhi nodded.

"Behind many beautiful things, there are tens of thousands of costs. To preserve the fragrance of flowers, thousands of petals must be wasted."

Li Lizhi looked at this scene and pulled Li Zheng's sleeve, "You should stop making perfume."

"Why?"

Li Lizhi said in a low voice: "I feel that it hurts the harmony of nature. You ruin so many flowers by making a bottle of perfume."

"After the petals are picked, there will be more next year. Besides, there is a limit to the amount of perfume I make every year, maybe a hundred bottles, and I don't plan to pass on the secret recipe of making perfume."

"That's about the same." Li Lizhi nodded.

"If everyone makes perfume like this, the flowers hundreds of miles away in Chang'an will not be all picked. If there are no flowers in this world, it will always feel a little less colorful."

Li Lizhi grinned: "I think you want to monopolize the secret recipe so that the perfume can be sold at a high price. It is said that rare things are more expensive."

"It's abominable to let Her Royal Highness know my secret."

"Hmph! So what." Li Lizhi said holding a bottle of perfume.

Li Yifu hurriedly came to report: "His Royal Highness, the County Marquis, and the Crown Prince are here."

"Brother Huang is here?" Li Lizhi looked flustered, and when she blushed, she pulled Li Zhi into the carriage.

Before leaving, Li Lizhi also said to Li Zheng: "Don't tell Brother Huang that I have been here."

Li Zheng looked at Li Yifu and said, "It's pretty clever."

Li Yifu said with a smile: "I have to go to see how Fangshi is going, so I will leave."

When Li Chengqian arrived, Li Lizhi's carriage had already left.

Looking at the carriage going away, Li Chengqian said curiously: "Huh? Why does that carriage look so familiar?"

"Does it look familiar?" Li Zheng also looked at him and said.

"Looking at the standard, it should be a carriage in the palace."

"Has your highness eaten it? My stinky tofu is ready to eat." Li Zheng quickly changed the subject.

"Can you still eat stinky tofu?"

"Of course."

Li Chengqian ignored the carriage that was going away, and looked at the stinky tofu that Li Zheng brought up, "Is this food edible?"

"Of course I can eat it." Li Zheng fried the stinky tofu in the oil pan.

The stinky tofu after frying was placed in front of him, and Li Zheng poured some chili oil on it.

Li Chengqian didn't know what to say when he smelled it.

"Marquis of Jingyang County, how could you give His Royal Highness such food."

Li Zheng ate a piece of stinky tofu and said, "Your Highness, don't look at the smell of this thing, it tastes very delicious."

Seeing that Li was eating, Li Chengqian mustered up the courage to pick up a piece of stinky tofu with chopsticks.

"Prince, this stinks." The official of the Eastern Palace said nervously when he saw the situation.

"It's okay, if Li Zheng can eat, so can Gu."

Li Chengqian held his breath and put a piece of stinky tofu into his mouth.

"His Royal Highness!" The East Palace official shouted hastily.

Li Zheng looked at Li Chengqian's expression with a smile, "How does it taste?"

At this moment, Li Chengqian's expression was very exciting, he ate another piece and said: "It really tastes delicious."

The officials of the East Palace looked at Li Chengqian's expression like a ghost...

"Would you like to try it too?" Li Zheng said to these East Palace officials.

"Don't dare dare." Several officials of the East Palace backed away again and again.

"You really hit the mark, father listened to Wei Zheng's advice."

Li Zheng tidied up the petals and continued: "Feng An is a duplicitous character. If you want to give him benefits, he will definitely be loyal. If you don't give him benefits, he will stab you secretly. It is best to keep such people under your nose. Letting him stay in Lingnan and keep supporting himself will cause problems sooner or later."

"Father doesn't know that he is a hidden danger. Feng An hasn't entered the court for many years since father ascended the throne." Li Chengqian was worried in his heart: "Should we still send troops to attack Feng An?"

Li Zheng nodded, "This can eliminate future troubles, and it's really a good way to settle everything once and for all."

Li Chengqian sat down and said: "It's not easy to send troops to Lingnan. Li Jing sent troops to conquer Lingnan as early as the emperor's grandfather ascended the throne. Although General Li Jing drove Feng An all the way to Baiyue at that time, General Li Jing also said , don’t attack Lingnan easily.”

Li Zheng agreed and said: "South of the Five Ridges has dense mountains, forests, and numerous rivers. The complex terrain is really not easy to attack. Especially in this season, it is easy to lose troops and generals, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"Gu has indeed heard that the terrain in the south of the Lingnan area is complicated, unlike Guanzhong where you can open up your fight."

Li Zheng said to Li Chengqian: "Actually, the best way is to let Feng An come to Chang'an, let him stay in Chang'an, and then send court officials to help govern Lingnan. The people in Lingnan will know Feng An, but they will not know who the emperor is."

Li Chengqian nodded pertinently, "You are right, as long as Feng An stays in Lingnan, it will be a big hidden danger to Zhongyuan."

"Guanzhong rejects the Turks in the north, and Tubo in the west has to be on guard. Lingnan is the backyard of the Central Plains, and the backyard cannot be caught fire."

Li Chengqian thought about it: "According to what you say, we still have to attack Lingnan."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong." Li Zheng said to him: "If we really attack Lingnan, it will arouse Feng An's resentment, and even affect the hearts of the people in Lingnan. Although Wei Zheng likes to impeach others, he You are right, Lingnan cannot fight, if it does, it will give Feng An the determination to stand on his own as king."

"Establish yourself as a king, and divide the land to rule." Li Chengqian's expression was terrified.

"The so-called invite the thief to capture the king first, why don't we invite the king into the urn and let Feng An come to Chang'an. As long as he leaves Lingnan, we will mix sand in Lingnan."

"Mixed with sand?"

"It is to send officials to Lingnan, keep sending them there, and replace all Feng An's confidantes in Lingnan."

Li Zheng continued: "As for how to invite Feng An into Chang'an, please explain in detail."

Li Chengqian saw the compound bow on the wall, and asked curiously, "What is that?"

"That's a bow."

"Why does this bow look so strange?"

Li Zheng blocked Li Chengqian's sight, "Your Highness, let's talk about Feng An, Feng An!"

……

Li Lizhi took Li Zhi back to the Lizheng Palace.

Sitting in the hall, Li Shimin played with the Rubik's Cube and said, "Go to see Li Zheng again?"

"My daughter will take the young slave out to relax."

Li Shimin smiled helplessly and put down the Rubik's Cube in his hand to eat.

After Li Shimin had eaten, he returned to the Lizheng Palace again, and was about to pick up the Rubik's cube on the table, and looked dumbfounded that the Rubik's cube had been put together.

After looking at the six sides for a long time, the colors have returned to their original positions.

"Huh?" Li Shimin glanced around, "Who moved my Rubik's Cube?"

 Brother and sister-in-law door, Xiao Zhang asks for a monthly pass (very loudly)
