Man Tanghong

Chapter 275 Loyalty Will Go Bad, But Interests Will Not
"Once Erlang starts to kill, he will never be merciful. If you go out halfway, he will just treat you as enemies and deal with them together. The soldiers and horses in your hands may be able to stop Erlang from being in Chang'an city." soldiers and horses, but they will definitely not be able to stop Erlang's soldiers and horses outside Chang'an City."

"What you have to do is far more difficult than competing for that position. You are no longer using eggs to touch rocks, but to use eggs to touch iron bumps."

"Do you think that you are showing kindness and doing good for everyone? But in the eyes of others, they will only think you are an eyesore, and you will only kill them quickly."

"It's not what you do to be a good person, and you can't be a good person either."

"..."

Li Xiaogong chattered and yelled, venting his dissatisfaction crazily, and criticizing Li Yuanji and others' plan.

"I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen you so stupid."

In the end, Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and shouted, a bit hating his stupidity and his incompetence.

Li Yuanji listened quietly, without disturbing from beginning to end.

It wasn't until Li Xiaogong finished shouting and calmed down for a while that he smiled lightly: "Is it over? Do you still shout?"

Li Xiaogong glared at Li Yuanji viciously.

Li Yuanji smiled lightly and said, "I don't agree with what you said."

Li Xiaogong approached Li Yuanji and shouted: "What do you disagree with? You are so stupid that there is no cure, you still have the right to disagree with me?"

The smile on Li Yuanji's face remained unchanged, and he said, "You should blame us, not you."

Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously pulled towards Li Yuanji's collar, his hand was halfway there, and he didn't know what to think, so he shrank back, and then said angrily: "You are so naive and pitiful, I will never fuck you Thief ship."

Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Xiaogong was taken aback again, "Isn't it?"

Li Yuanji was also taken aback for a moment, "What's wrong?"

Li Xiaogong stared at Li Yuanji and said quickly: "Third sister is the one who doesn't want your three brothers to meet each other, so she will be deceived by your naive plan, and even if she finds out that this plan is naive, she will follow you." You go all the way to the dark.

But Uncle Shentong Wang is an old fox...ahem...a wise person, he will not be fooled by such a childish plan like yours.

What did you use to convince him?
Or in other words, once you talk about your childish plan and he agrees to join, you really believe that he will help you? "

When Li Xiaogong said this, he said in disbelief: "You're not so naive, are you?"

Li Yuanji curled his lips, and said angrily: "You don't think that once my second brother and my eldest brother face each other, they will be soft-hearted to us, right?"

Li Xiaogong's expression froze.

Li Yuanji continued: "Whether my eldest brother killed my second brother or my second brother killed my eldest brother, they don't have to worry about it anymore.

After all, it is the same for an emperor whether he kills one or a group.

The historians of later generations will not praise him because he killed one less, nor will he criticize him because he killed one more. "

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong, "Do you think that I did this to protect the friendship between our brothers like the third sister? I did it to save my life, my own, and yours.

Uncle Avatar King may have seen that my plan was naive, but he still joined in?

why?

It's because once my elder brother and my second brother faced each other with swords, our heads were hanging on the waistbands of our trousers.

We must stick together to protect ourselves. "

Li Xiaogong's expression changed again and again, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Yuanji said again: "If you keep me, I can protect you. We are now grasshoppers on a rope."

Li Xiaogong spoke suddenly, and said in an extremely uncertain tone: "Your elder brother and Erlang have no reason to kill us."

Li Yuanji, as a direct descendant, can form an obstacle to Li Shimin.

They are a group of collateral, and there is no obstacle to Li Shimin.

As long as the climb is thorough and level enough, Li Shimin has no reason to kill them.

Li Yuanji asked without hesitation: "Is there a reason to kill you?"

Li Xiaogong remained silent.

Li Yuanji said again: "What guarantee do you have that my eldest brother and my second brother will not kill you?"

Li Xiaogong's face became even more gloomy.

There is no way to guarantee it.

Because no one can guarantee that the winner of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin will not kill them until the moment when the incident comes to an end.

They will not block the way of the winner, but they cannot guarantee that during the reign of the winner, if there is any political need, or if there is any conflict of interest, their heads will be chopped off.

Anyway, the winner has already killed his own brother, so he will not be merciful if he kills his cousins.

"You also said just now that your old ministry spread all over the south of the river. This alone is enough to be sent to the execution ground."

Li Yuanji said seriously.

Your meritorious service is high enough, the old ministries are all over the place, with a wave of arms, thousands of people follow, how many emperors can accommodate you?
Li Shimin can tolerate it, after all, it has been verified by history.

The problem is, Li Xiaogong doesn't know.

Li Xiaogong stood where he was, without moving, and fell into complete silence.

Li Yuanji didn't bother Li Xiaogong either, and walked back to the pavilion.

Lee Hyo-gong needs time to think clearly.

When Li Yuanji returned to the pavilion, there was another guest in the pavilion, and he was giving out gems to people boldly.

Gemstones the size of pigeon eggs are worth thousands of gold, but they seem to be worthless in his hands, and he keeps giving them away.

Xue Wanshu and the others didn't know whether to accept it or not, and they all seemed very embarrassed.

Yu Wenbao returned to the second, but he also maintained extreme restraint in this matter.

He drooled as he watched the gemstone handed to him, but he just didn't put it in his chest.

He felt uncomfortable holding it.

If he covered his face, he would probably accept it and ask the other party to take out more in a 'friendly' way.

"Why is he here?"

Xie Shufang had already sent his fiancée to Yang Miaoyan's side, and after seeing Li Yuanji returning alone, he couldn't help but move closer to him and ask questions.

Li Yuanji glanced at Xie Shufang, you ask me, who should I ask?

I also want to know how he came here.

"See Your Highness, a small gift is not a respect, and I hope His Highness will accept it."

Li Yuanji had just stepped into the pavilion when Feng Zhidai, who was spreading money everywhere, rushed to meet him, ordered his servants to take two boxes, and brought them to Li Yuanji with a smile on his face.

Fearing that Li Yuanji would think the gift was not valuable enough, he opened the box specially and asked Li Yuanji to have a look.

One of the boxes was filled with gemstones of various colors, which was equivalent to a year's salary of everyone present.

The income from the fief is not included in it. After all, Li Yuanji has [-] closed households, so the income from the fief is a bit abnormal.

The other box contains a pair of strange stones, which are warm and moist without variegation. They look like the top grade among them, and they are good materials for engraving seals.

Li Yuanji couldn't see the origin of this pair of strange stones, and others were also a little unclear.

However, this did not prevent Li Yuanji and others from assessing its value.

A strange stone that can be sent with a box of gems is naturally worth no less than a box of gems.

"Are you generous enough?"

Li Yuanji didn't accept it, but looked at Feng Zhidai with a half-smile.

Feng Zhidai smiled openly and said: "My father said that the gift must be delivered at one time, and picking and searching is disgusting and unpleasant.

My father also said that it is His Highness's kindness that I can get His Highness's protection and live a stable life in Chang'an City, and I have to repay it. "

It was the first time Li Yuanji met someone who gave gifts so openly and honestly.

"You are honest. Then tell me, why are you here?"

Li Yuanji praised him and asked again.

Feng Zhidai held the gift box and said: "I also saw General Xie and others riding out of Chang'an City one after another, guessed that General Xie and others had arrived here, thought His Highness needed someone for something, so came here to help.

In order to avoid being disgusted by His Highness, I prepared some small gifts. "

Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully, accepted Feng Zhidai's gift box, and said with Feng Zhidai's bright smile, "I have a heart..."

Feng Zhidai hurriedly said: "It should...it should..."

Li Yuanji praised: "You let go a lot more than before, and you have a lot more courage."

Li Yuanji vaguely remembered that the first time he met Feng Zhidai, Feng Zhidai was blocked by Yin Ashu and a group of guards at the gate of the palace to blackmail him. At that time, Feng Zhidai was both cautious and timid.

When we met for the second time, Feng Zhidai was submissive, he wouldn't give gifts, and he didn't know what to say when he put down his things.

This is the fifth time we've seen each other.

Feng Zhidai bowed deeply to Li Yuanji, "Thanks to His Highness's protection, no one dares to bully me anymore, and I have made many friends. Under their guidance, I gradually let go."

Li Yuanji nodded, "You are also loyal and brave. Your ancestors and fathers defended a frontier for our Central Plains. You didn't dare to neglect it at all, and you didn't follow Zhao Tuo's example and took it as your own. Your heart is respectable and your loyalty Also respectable.

My father has made my father the Duke of the state, and you are also my minister of the Tang Dynasty.

From now on, in Chang'an City, you will be a generous person, and you don't have to nod and bow.

If someone bullies you, you can go to the Si Yamen to file a complaint.

If there is a si yamen who won't accept it, you can come to me. "

Feng Zhidai saluted Li Yuanji again, and said with a moved face: "Thank you for your advice, Your Highness, and thank you for your protection."

Li Yuanji patted Feng Zhidai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When my fleet arrives in Jiaozhou and meets Lingfu, we will most likely be a family.

When you come to me, you don't have to be restrained. "

Su Dingfang led the soldiers of the Commanding Army Mansion, and after landing in the sea east of Dongnan Road, the ships did not stop. Instead, the stewards of the various mansions continued southward with a part of the trilogy, some young and strong, and a large amount of goods. Rushed to Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou is full of treasures, but it is only because of the miasma and the local people's silos that the development of Jiaozhou has been slow.

Coupled with the inconvenient transportation, the treasures of Jiaozhou could not be transported out.

Li Yuanji intended to turn Jiaozhou into a money bank, and also intended to set up a cave in Jiaozhou, so after completing the water transport from Luoyang to Dizhou, he immediately sent people to Jiaozhou.

On the one hand, it is for the future layout, and on the other hand, it is also trying to develop shipping.

Li Yuanji discussed this matter with Feng Zhidai, and also talked with Feng An through Feng Zhidai Yaoyao.

Feng An welcomed this.

Feng An also hopes to turn all kinds of treasures in Jiaozhou into materials that are more useful to him.

"In the future, whether you can eat delicious food or drink spicy food will depend on Feng Gong's face, so you should be more polite to Feng Gongzi."

Li Yuanji said to the people under his command with a smile.

It can be regarded as introducing Feng Zhidai to his small group and introducing him to his small group.

By the way, I told them that I helped them open up a way of making money, and everyone can eat delicious and spicy food.

Loyalty will deteriorate, but interests will not.

Li Yuanji was not sure whether the people under his command would stay with him loyally for the rest of his life, so he had to put another layer of shackles on them.
