The rise of the prince

Chapter 214 Treasure Ship
This is indeed a long story, and there are many sayings.

Things in the world are like this, there are always countless ways to say everything, you and I are different, there is no absolute argument, that's why there are people who say what people say, and what the devil tells nonsense.

Li Xingzhou naturally said that Duke De asked him if he had a way to deal with the Liao cavalry. He thought about it and thought of a way, but he needed a lot of iron to test his idea. In fact, this was only part of the reason. The real idea was that he wanted to master the powerful force.

But in the General's Mansion, you can only talk about the first half of this matter, not the second half.

In the main hall, Zhong Daoyu became interested after hearing this: "I'll take a look with the old man about things that deal with the cavalry."

Li Xingzhou couldn't help shaking his head, scholars and warriors are really different.If it were Degong, he would definitely say "Can I have a look with the old man", but when it comes to Zhong Daoyu, it becomes "Let's have a look with the old man", and the interrogative sentence becomes an imperative sentence.

"No." Li Xingzhou replied simply.

Zhong Daoyu was not angry, he was slightly regretful, but let it go: "Since you have made such a big mistake, why did you come to my house with such a big fanfare, whether you want to bring trouble to the east or ask the old man for protection?"

He said and picked up the tea that Wei Chuan brought up: "If you think so, you should go. The old man is powerless and doesn't want to get involved. You and I haven't gotten to know each other well yet."

Li Xingzhou also picked up his teacup: "No, I have a plan. The general doesn't have to worry about it. Today I will drop by to talk about the restructuring of the army. After all, it is really inconvenient to exchange letters."

Zhong Daoyu frowned, holding his teacup and thinking for a while: "Then let's talk in the outer hall."

Wei Chuan on the side was stunned. He didn't understand what happened today. Usually, he had to be careful when sending a letter to the palace, like a thief. He didn't expect that now.
Li Xingzhou frowned after hearing Zhong Daoyu's question about Tong Guan: "Is he always like this?"

"It's always been like this. This person has always regarded himself as loyal to the emperor and the country. It's nothing. A minister should be like this. But he is too virtuous, paranoid and flamboyant. Even when he talks to his colleagues, he always talks about it. Time After a long time, it is difficult for everyone to talk to him." Zhong Daoyu said.

"Did no one remind him?" Li Xingzhou asked.

"Of course there are, and there are more than one. After all, if he usually talks about everything, he always talks about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, then he always talks about going astray. How to get along with him. Back then, his colleague and friend, my old subordinate, the guard Ma Jun Commander Zhao Guanghua persuaded him."

Speaking of this, Zhong Daoyu shook his head: "But he replied, 'Loyalty to the emperor is the duty of a minister of the country, why is it embarrassing and uncomfortable, I think you have a ghost in your heart' Since then, the two of them are no longer on good terms."

Li Xingzhou nodded, he probably understood what kind of person Tong Guan is, he is really a weirdo, "Is he really loyal to the country or is he fake loyal to the country?"

Zhong Daoyu shook his head: "I don't know either."

"It can't be Mr. Ye who loves dragons." Li Xingzhou said.

Zhong Daoyu stopped talking. Li Xingzhou, as a royal heir, could naturally say such things, but he couldn't.

"Anyway, if he doesn't let go, this matter will be impossible." Zhong Daoyu said with certainty.

Li Xingzhou nodded, the three chief officials of the Sanya, the commander in front of the palace, the commander of the horse army of the guards, and the commander of the infantry of the guards, if you want to move the Sanya, you must pass these three people first.

Now the commander Yang Hongzhao in front of the palace is going south to Suzhou, and the commander Zhao Guanghua of the Ma Jun of the bodyguard is from the old department of Zhong Daoyu, and he has always followed his lead. His stance towards Wei Chaoren was good at the beginning, and the current army reformation is also the same.

The remaining stumbling block is Tong Guan.

"This opportunity is once in a lifetime, and it must not be missed." Li Xingzhou tapped on the table lightly.

Just in time for the rebellion in the Ansu Mansion, Yang Hongzhao, the chief commander of the Sanya, left the capital, and the prince was not there. Such a good situation, it can be said that this is a good opportunity. After this village, there will be no such shop. If you miss this time, you will find another opportunity to intervene Military affairs are simply as difficult as climbing the sky!
His sensitive identity as the crown prince, if the crown prince comes back, it will never be his turn
Li Xingzhou tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, and the whole room fell silent. No one interrupted him for a while. His thoughts were spinning and turning, and his brain was running at a high speed. A lot of knowledge flooded into his heart like a tide.
After a long time, he stopped what he was doing.

"How?" Tsukado Yu asked.

Li Xingzhou shook his head, then laughed again: "Haha, that's fine, let's take a gamble."

"bet?"

"Doesn't the general dare?" He asked back.

Zhong Daoyu smiled disdainfully, and put down the teacup in his hand: "Ordinary people in the market gamble, but they only gamble some money and possessions, and at most they gamble their own life. The old man has gambled thousands of lives in his life. The fate of the country will rise and fall. Jiangshan Sheji has gambled before, would you be afraid of gambling?

However, there is a way to gamble. You must explain exactly how to gamble before the old man can make a decision. "

Li Xingzhou picked up the teacup: "Haha, indeed, I can't compare with the Great General. Let's bet on whether Tong Guan is really as loyal and courageous as he has shown. Whether he succeeds or not, it's all here!"

In the middle section of the river in Kaiyuan City, a huge treasure ship was dragged upstream by many trackers.

There are dragon head decorations, pearl and jade curtains, and attics. There are three floors from the bottom to the top. The bow to the stern is more than ten feet long.

Just like a huge palace floating on the river, anyone will have an indescribable sense of oppression in front of this behemoth.

A large number of people have gathered around the boat to watch. This is the Lantern Festival flower boat this year.

In the Shangyuan Festival every year in Kyoto, all major merchants will pay to build treasure ships.The reason why merchants are so willing to spend money is because this treasure ship will patrol the city at night, and it will be escorted by government servants.

Many talented scholars will think about breaking their heads in order to win the hearts of beauties. They wish they could write a few masterpieces and send them to the treasure ship to please them.

Support from the government, coupled with a full of literary style and fame, these are what businessmen want most!
Moreover, the money paid by each family that builds the treasure ship will be added with the Great Seal of Kaiyuan Mansion, and posters will be posted everywhere, which is the best time to gain fame.

"Brother Shen, what do you think, does Jiangzhou also have this kind of treasure ship carved building?" A handsome scribe asked, pointing to a white paper fan.

Next to him, a man in a Hu suit who looked to be in his 30s shook his head: "Brother Ma was joking, our Jiangzhou backcountry is nothing compared to the prosperity of Kyoto."

"Hahaha" Ma Yuan leaned on the carved corridor and laughed triumphantly: "That's true, you can't see it except in Beijing. It is said that this chartered boat cost tens of thousands of taels to build, not to mention the luxurious decoration on it. baby."

The corner of Shen Yinfeng's mouth twitched, he just nodded.

"I just saw that Miss Yin Yin was asking where Brother Shen is, isn't Brother Shen going to see the beautiful woman?" Ma Yuan asked with a smile.

Shen Yinfeng glanced at him, slightly disdainful, how could he not understand some things, he just didn't want to cause trouble, so he stood up straight and said: "Brother Ma, you know that I am thirty years old this year, but I have never been married. Why are there only a few concubines in the family."

"Oh, this is strange." Ma Yuan put away the paper fan, pretending not to care, and looked at the treasure ship in the distance.

"It's just because I already have someone I like in my heart, but it's a pity that beauty is hard to find."

"Who is Hana? Who made brother Shen so worried, could it be Miss Yin Yin, otherwise she wouldn't have come all the way from Jiangzhou"
