Datang start shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 600 A Pair of Good Brothers
Wang Zi'an still underestimated the strength of the Changsun family's caravan and the determination of the Changsun family. This time, the Changsun family used ten large boats for the Champa rice, and the Champa rice brought by Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji was only a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention that his farm cannot be cultivated, even if Li Shimin gave him all the farms near Chang'an, it is estimated that he will not be able to grow them.

Although he knew that Changsun Wuji was speculating, he had to admire this man's courage.

Moreover, it is obvious that the eldest grandson's family has tasted the benefits brought by this matter very smoothly.This time he went to Linyi in person and overcame all difficulties. The eldest Sun Chong, who brought Champao back from Linyi, was promoted on the same day.

From the original Fengche Duwei, a guerrilla general, who was lowered from the fifth rank, to the Si Nongsi Shaoqing who rose from the fourth rank, and even the honor has become the corresponding Qingche Duwei.

It's not just a three-level promotion, it's a five-level promotion!
What's more, the honor of Captain Fengche was different from the previous one. The Shaoqing of Sinong Temple was in charge of the world's crops, which was a real and powerful position in the court.

With this credit, Changsun Chong directly jumped over the door frame of the fifth rank, and truly entered the court's field of vision, becoming the highest-ranking and most prominent existence among the second generation of Chang'an.

The speed of this kind of promotion has exceeded the norm.

Because of this incident, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, wrote repeatedly in the court hall, asking for his son's resignation in person, but they were all rejected by Li Shimin.

"Elder Sun Chong has worked tirelessly to go overseas and bring back high-yielding rice seeds for the imperial court. He has made great contributions to the country and the common people. How can I be stingy with the reward of the Lord and let the meritorious ministers in the world feel chilling—"

Seeing Li Shimin's resolute attitude, Changsun Wuji had to accept the reality, and took Changsun Chong to thank the court again and again before the matter came to an end.Even if other people are envious, they can only watch.

Who let himself not have such a powerful sea caravan?
This is the case in any era. It doesn’t mean that you can build this kind of caravan if you have money. Without a strong family background, without decades of experience and connections, without the acquiescence of the court or even the emperor, wanting to own such a caravan? Such a huge caravan is simply a dream.

Similarly, anyone owning such a caravan means possessing inexhaustible wealth and resources, and it also means that they will never let go easily.

Youzhou.

At this time, although the New Year has passed and Chang'an has begun to gradually warm up, Youzhou is located in the north, and it is still snowing heavily and dripping into ice.

Yan Wangfu.

Li Youhe was also demoted to Youzhou by Li Shimin because of the Yin Chengzhi incident. His uncle Yin Hongzhi, who served as the lieutenant of the Dianjun of Yanwangfu, and the old man who lived in seclusion in the backyard of Yanwangfu all the year round and was called Ninth Brother by Chang Jiu, were holding Tea soup, sitting around the stove.

Li You put down his teacup impatiently, and looked at Yin Hongzhi with a gloomy expression.

"So, what do those people in Chang'an say?"

"The group of people are all old foxes, how could they be willing to speak at this stall..."

Yin Hongzhi shook his head, a look of helplessness flashed across his face.

That group of people is a group of old foxes who eat people and don't spit out their bones. When collecting money, they all swear by it, and when they need their help, they change their faces one by one.

Li You slapped the coffee table angrily, and cursed angrily.

"This group of male thieves and female whores don't talk about faith, hypocrites! After eating my king's food and drinking my king's food, and now it's time for them to do their best, they will do this to me again. It's really hard to bully me! "

But no matter how violent he is, it can't change any facts.

In the end, I just sat there and sulked to myself.

"What should I do now? Continue to spend money?"

Li You raised his head unwillingly and looked at Yin Hongzhi.Yin Hongzhi glanced at it subconsciously, holding the teacup all the time, Yin Jiuge silently.

Yin Jiuge was the leader of the private army of the Yin family in the past, and also the control of the underground forces of the Yin family. Now the actual controller of the Yin family, even Yin Hongzhi, who is now put on the bright side, actually has to be respected three points.

Yin Jiuge acted as if he hadn't seen him, and took a leisurely sip of the tea soup in his cup.

Yin Hongzhi instantly understood the intention of his patriarch.

His eyes flickered, and he looked at Li You and shook his head gently.

"I'm afraid it's not about the money—"

Having said that, Yin Hongzhi paused and added something.

"What's more, we can't send it now even if we want to - we have no money..."

Li You:! ! ! ! ! !

His complexion changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly.

"Where is my king's money—"

"In order to open up the relationship between Chang'an and win over people who are close to us, our Yan Palace has been spending a lot of money in the past few years. Originally, there was a sea passage, but it was barely maintained. Now that sea trade route has been taken away by His Majesty... "

Having said that, Yin Hongzhi shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't continue talking.

The meaning is very clear, because Li Shimin took away the commercial roads at sea, they cut off their biggest source of income at once.

Now, in just over a month, the economic situation of Prince Yan's Mansion has already gone wrong.

Snapped--

The teacup was smashed to pieces.

Li You's face was a bit hideous.

"Wang Zi'an, this king is irreconcilable with you!"

At the beginning, Chang Jiu accidentally ran into Yin Chengzhi, who was working at the Liuli factory in Zi'an Dongshan, and was moved to steal the Liuli technology, but he never thought that Wang Zi'an and Li Junxian led people to arrest him before he got the Liuli technology. It's right.

Stealing chickens will not lose rice.

The glass technology is not in hand, and the sea business is lost!

That was the foundation on which King Yan's Mansion relied to maintain its huge expenditure.

Over the years, whether it was the private army of the Yin family, or the soldiers he had trained, or the cost of opening up the joints of the court, and the living expenses of Yan Wangfu's luxurious life, they all relied on this lavishly rich maritime business route.

Now, it's gone!

After giving birth for a long time, he finally calmed down the anger in his heart, and looked at Yin Jiuge with cold eyes.

"Patriarch Yin, don't you just accept it like this? That is the economic lifeline of your Yin family. Without this business road, this king will save money and garrison troops. But if you don't have that channel, your private troops can still Can it last?"

When Yin Jiuge heard this, he slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

Naturally, he couldn't see such a naive aggressive method, but he still asked noncommittal.

"What does King Yan want?"

"What do you want? This king wants that bastard to die! How dare you go against this king and sabotage this king's event—"

Li You looked at Yin Jiuge with a ferocious expression.

"Over the years, this king has provided you with shelter and help, and now it's time for you to show it to me!"

The sullenness in Yin Jiuge's eyes flashed past, but his face remained calm, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.

"That Wang Zi'an is rumored to have the courage of a king, and he can carry a stone lion weighing seven or eight hundred catties to break into the mansion of the royal family in Taiyuan alone. Is it his opponent who is waiting for you? Are you sure that you will use it for this momentary battle of loyalty?" The power that our Yin family has hidden for many years?"

"King Yan, absolutely not—the most important thing—"

Fearing that Li You would be impulsive and want to fight Wang Zi'an to death, Yin Hongzhi who was at the side hurriedly persuaded him.

Hearing that big things are the most important, Li You finally showed hesitation on his face, and after pondering for a long time, he finally said in hatred.

"Is that the case?"

Although he was unwilling to do so, he didn't dare to act rashly. He had heard about Wang Zi'an's mightiness. If the assassination failed and His Majesty was alarmed instead, then something serious would happen.

Hearing his question, Yin Jiuge took a sip of tea lightly and said plainly.

"Of course not—"

When Li You heard this, he immediately lifted his spirits, subconsciously leaned forward, and looked at this old man who was always putting on airs.

"Don't worry, why have I, Yin Jiuge, ever suffered from such a useless attitude? I have already made arrangements for this matter. This time, not only must I get the method of making colored glaze, but also let him pay for what he has done. A terrible price!"

As soon as this remark came out, Li You's eyes couldn't help but brighten. He lifted the kettle and poured a glass for Yin Jiuge himself.

"What's the trick of Patriarch Yin?"

The three of them got together and muttered for a long time, Li You's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he slapped his hands involuntarily.

"Very good, Wang Zi An Gou Thief, this time I will definitely teach you a painful lesson—"

After finishing speaking, he hesitated for a moment and added.

"If it's not a last resort, try not to hurt her—"

When Yin Jiuge heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness King Yan is still a brother and brother..."

Before Li You could turn black, he nodded with a smile.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, if there is even a chance, we won't hurt her at all—after all, we don't want to force that person in the palace to fight with us forever..."

Li You nodded, turned his head to look at the wind and snow outside the window, as if he saw a certain scene in Chang'an through the wind and snow, a gloating smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

"Qing Que should be leaving Beijing at this time—"

Having said that, he stretched out his hand and gently caught a snowflake.

"My lord has heard people say that my good brother left Beijing, and it is most likely because Prince An, a dog thief, spoke ill of him in front of the emperor—you guess, with my good brother's temperament, would he He will take the risk and use his strength to eradicate Wang Zi'an, the scourge..."

……

Outside Chang'an City.

Ten Mile Pavilion.

Li Tai was dressed in a plain robe and a snow-white cloak. After more than a month, his round and bloated figure had lost a lot of weight. It seemed that he was a little more shrewd and capable than before.

Saying goodbye to the relatives and friends who came to see him off, as well as the few sisters who came to see him off, and a few younger brothers, he boarded the carriage with a sad expression, leaned against the carriage, and listened to the sound of the wheels, not only slightly Absent.

Years of painstaking efforts turned into flowing water in one day.

How can it be so easy to say let go.

"Take a step back and see the sea and the sky-it's easy to say..."

He sighed softly, raised his hand to lift the curtain of the car on the side, and looked back at the way he came with complicated eyes. Some old friends who were close to him in the past have begun to turn their horses around, and several brothers and sisters who are friendly with him have also turned their backs. Stepped into his carriage.Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Chang'an City looked more majestic and solemn.

Now that his illness has recovered, and the New Year has passed, the postponement of leaving Beijing that he worked so hard to get did not have any effect.During this period of time, he mobilized almost all the forces close to him, and through various channels, he proposed to the palace that he wanted to stay in Chang'an, but without exception, he was severely rejected by his father.

And he finally had no reason to stay in Chang'an, nor the need to stay any longer. He knew that his royal father must have known that these were the means by which he wanted to stay, but it was obvious that this time his royal father really wanted to stay. The most important thing is to make up your mind to convey a very clear attitude to yourself through this matter.

"Your Highness, are you really willing to leave here—"

Cui Xiang saw Li Tai looking at Chang'an in the distance, remained silent, and persuaded him a little unwillingly.

As the most capable assistant in Prince Wei's residence, he naturally had to go to Yangzhou with His Highness King Wei, but how could he be willing?

Families like theirs have always been unwilling to put their eggs in one basket, and his egg was undoubtedly the egg that the family valued more. He was assigned to Wei Wangfu, and he himself was ambitious and wanted to follow The king of Wei did something great.

Originally, the wind was going smoothly, but he had almost seen hope, and he was glad that he boarded the big ship of King Wei.

Who knew, suddenly the boat capsized...

"Whether you are willing or not, is it important now?"

Li Tai came back to his senses and looked at Cui Xiangzhi beside him.

"Brother Cui, you and I have known each other for many years. With your talent and knowledge, you have a lot to do. Why bother to waste time with me, a loser..."

Cui Xiangzhi couldn't help but smile wryly.

Xin said, you think I am willing, isn't it too close to follow you before, has already been branded with you?
If I go back now, I won't even get the trust of other people, not to mention the notoriety of betraying the master.

For example, His Royal Highness, how could he trust a confidant who was once His Highness King Wei?

"Why did His Royal Highness Wei say this? It is Cui's honor to follow His Royal Highness—what's more, if you lose your horse, you know it's not a blessing. Whoever says we will go, we will completely lose hope..."

Cui Xiangzhi originally just said it casually, but before he finished speaking, his eyes lit up.

Yeah, who said we've lost all hope?
"Brother Cui, I'm the one who got you into trouble—"

Li Tai looked at this former confidant and beloved general with complicated eyes.

Thinking that in the past, when I called friends and called friends, the house was full of friends, but now when I am frustrated, the only one who follows me is this Cui family child.

"Where did His Highness King Wei say that? Loyal ministers don't care about two masters. Xiangzhi dare not pretend to be loyal, but he also knows the word loyalty."

Having said that, Cui Xiangzhi bowed slightly.

"What's more, the big things are still undecided, so it's too early to say these things. There are no outsiders here, and the humble official said a big word. Now that His Majesty is in the prime of life, it is so easy for the crown prince to want that position. Mistake..."

Speaking of this, Cui Xiang smiled without saying a word.

Your Majesty and the crown prince are father and son, as well as monarchs and ministers.

What is the most taboo between the monarch and his ministers?
There is such a guy who is both a son and a minister, thinking about his position as the king all day long, waiting to take over his own class, especially when the king is still young and strong and does not want to delegate power, the son who wants to take over, then It's even more dangerous.

Li Tai was already a little disheartened, but when he heard this, the thought became as enthusiastic as a resurgence.

"Brother Cui, listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books—thanks to having your help, if you do something in the future, you will definitely share the wealth and honor with Brother Cui—"

Cui Xiangzhi and Li Tai looked at each other and smiled, feeling a little sympathetic for a moment.

When the thought comes together, the mind becomes alive.

Li Tai turned his head and glanced at the distant city again, smiling authentically.

"My brother Yan Wang is not a good-natured man. Tell me, if he suffered such a big loss this time, will he take the risk and settle accounts with Prince Ana..."
