The rise of the prince

Chapter 551 Conditions
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Xingzhou found an excuse alone to invite Prince Kang out.

In the small pavilion by the pond in the backyard, Prince Kang looked at him with a smile, which gave Li Xingzhou goosebumps.

"Let's be honest, I know you're interested in the skill of making colored glaze." Prince Kang said.

Li Xingzhou didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Fourth Grandpa, you are right, I just fell in love with it, we are all a family, you say."

"Hey, don't come here, you are King Pingnan, the future body of ten thousand gold.

You and I know very well, what do you want in the future, fourth grandpa, I can't compare with you, just like this baby. " Prince Kang said, and then sighed again: "But although this glazed vessel is worth thousands of gold, I dare not sell it in my mansion. If the mansion is short of money, I can only go to the emperor to borrow it. In the end, it is useless."

"That's all, I'll treat it as a gift for you." Prince Kang waved his hand, seemingly inadvertently, but cleverly.If you give someone something directly, it will make people take it for granted, and it will be difficult for people to be grateful.

So he first expressed his reluctance, then casually explained the value of the glassware, and finally said to give it away, in fact, he emphasized the weight of this thing without any trace.

Li Xingzhou is not stupid, it is impossible for Prince Kang to believe that it is free, otherwise there may be various troubles in the future.

"Fourth Grandfather, I am worthy of such a great kindness. My brothers are still clear about their accounts. Although we are a family, if you let me take it for nothing, then I would rather not." Li Xingzhou smiled and shook his head.

When Prince Kang heard this, his old face turned into a rotten persimmon with a smile, "Hahahahaha, everyone says you are smart, and it is true! You still understand, you boy is on the road!" He patted him on the shoulder as he spoke.

"Your fourth grandpa has no other requirements, just one thing, let Yongming marry Di Zhi, your subordinate." Prince Kang said slyly.

Li Xingzhou shook his head secretly. He understood why Prince Kang was so concerned about this matter. To put it bluntly - political considerations, for the sake of security.

If possible, Prince Kang probably wished to marry his sister-in-law Princess Yongming directly to him. That would be what he hoped most, but they were a family, which was unethical, so Prince Kang set his sights on the people around him again.

It was probably because Li Xingzhou broke into the palace alone to save Di Zhi that day, which made Prince Kang pay more attention to Di Zhi.

In fact, Li Xingzhou has always been his deputy to Di Zhi.It was the same in the war in the south, and it was the same in the new army later.

He commanded the army, and Di Zhi commanded the main force; he was the commander of the new army, and Di Zhi was the deputy commander.

Prince Kang probably valued this point, thinking in his heart that once Prince Kang's mansion married Di Zhi, it would be tantamount to tying his own family to Pingnan Wang's mansion.Just like when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty married his sister to Wei Qing, as for whether they could get along, what kind of love between men and women was out of their consideration.

The taller you stand, the more so, does King Kang know that Princess Yongming looks down on Di Zhi?Impossible, but the happiness of Princess Yongming alone is nothing compared to the rise and fall of Kang Wangfu's glory.

At least if Princess Yongming's affairs can be accomplished, as long as Di Zhi is around, the future emperor will remember King Kang's Mansion.

Prince Kang had a good plan.

This was originally a win-win situation, but Li Xingzhou hesitated.

He understands that this is the most beneficial decision for him. He can obtain the craftsmanship of colored glaze for free, send craftsmen to learn from Grandma Seven, and then use the technological advantages of the palace to build a larger business empire and even a stronger army. Well off the little glass.

But the problem is that Di Zhi, Yan Shen, Ji Chunsheng, Qifang, Wei Yubai, Shen Lin, and Qidong who died fighting for him in the south, he regards them as friends, even brothers, and go to death with him. brother in need.

He was able to agree before because he felt that marrying a princess as his wife would be very good for Di Zhi, who was only from a poor family. It would not only raise his social status, but also make no one gossip when he promoted Di Zhi in the future.

But Li Xingzhou also came to his senses after slowly discovering the prejudice against warriors in Princess Yongming's heart, which might trap Di Zhi and ruin his life.

Not to mention anything else, he is a fourth-rank military general from a poor family, and he married a noble princess who despised him to the bottom of his bones and kept him at home.I am constrained everywhere, unable to suppress and dare not to suppress, the opponent is the princess, if there is a slight mistake and deliberately embarrassing, he can make him drink a pot, how can I live in the future.

Di Zhi is older than him, but he is only in his early twenties, and he has a long way to go
"Why don't you change someone, anyway, you have so many daughters, everyone is the same." Li Xingzhou said.

Kang Wang just shook his head: "I have many daughters, but not everyone is a princess, so people can remember them."

"Then I'll change someone else. My subordinate loves General Shen Lin's nephew, Shen Yinfeng. He is the most talented person in Jiangzhou, he is an official appointed by the imperial court, and his family is also rich."

Before he finished speaking, Prince Kang shook his head and interrupted him: "Just this Di Zhi, I never miss anyone. You think about it carefully, and when you are done thinking about it, come and talk to your fourth grandfather, anyway, no one else will talk about it.

If you agree then, bring the chosen craftsman here, and I will let your Seventh Grandma train it well, and it will be done in two or three months. Although it is impossible to have her level, the craftsmanship will never be bad. "

Prince Kang stood up and patted him on the shoulder again: "The premise is that you agree, and Di Zhi cannot let you go.

Don't blame me, it's not that your fourth grandpa is being unreasonable, it's just that I don't like others, and besides, it might be a trivial matter to you, but it's a major matter to me, so please be considerate of me, an old man. "

He said hehe and smiled, his face full of vicissitudes left by the years.

Li Xingzhou nodded: "Then let me think about it first."

Prince Kang also nodded and left the small pavilion, and went back to the banquet.

The banquet was extraordinarily lively. Everyone had a great time with all kinds of novel dishes, drinks and drinks in the palace. Shi Yu was also encouraged to sing the song "Sapphire Case. Yuan Xi" written by Li Xingzhou specially for her. Everyone was envious.

Such a peerless work may be handed down through the ages, and the poems will be remembered from generation to generation, and the beauty that the author of the poem admires will be remembered by future generations.

When Li Xingzhou returned to the banquet, he looked at Di Zhi, who was sitting at the end of the banquet, eating with his head buried in food, drinking with Yan Shen from time to time, and at Princess Yongming, who was only looking at the chief, chanting poems with Gillian, and happily doing drinking orders.
The next day, the Imperial Guards from the several battalions in the capital began to assemble in a mighty manner. They will gather at the foot of the Hunting Mountain in the north of the city. Because of the huge scale, the whole process will take more than ten days.

Not only the army, but also all kinds of supplies, smoke and dust outside the city filled the sky, the army gathered, and the atmosphere among the people in the city became dignified. The war was about to happen, and everyone's hearts were suspended, from ordinary people to the current emperor.

Once the wheels of war are rolling, I don't know how many people will be crushed, uneasy, fear, filled with all kinds of intertwined eyes, and the hazy atmosphere permeates the entire capital.
