This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 416 Volume [-] Changsun Wuji VS Fang Xuanling

Fang Xuanling shook his head: "Don't forget, Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn."

In a word, concise and to the point.

Li Er is still in his prime, what he needs is not a nearly perfect prince to steal the limelight from him.

A wise emperor and a perfect prince are definitely not the best combination.

Rights are really addictive, as long as they are infected, how many people are willing to give up?

Speaking of which, the position of prince is not so easy to assume, too smart to be feared by others, and not so smart to be disgusted by others.

Many people think that, after all, they are also father and son, and they always have some feelings.

But in the entire Tang Dynasty, including the Southern Tang Dynasty, there were more than 30 princes in total, but nearly half of them were either abolished or killed.

So, being a prince is really a high-risk job worthy of the name.

"Your Highness is at a young age, and I am worried that His Highness doesn't know how to hide." Fang Xuanling sighed.

Sometimes, he didn't know whether Li Chengqian's growth was a good thing or a bad thing for Datang.

Hearing this, Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, I know what you're worried about, isn't it good now?"

Although Wei Zheng only spoke half of what he said, Fang Xuanling still understood what he meant, so he just gave a wry smile and said no more.

As for Xiao Yu, he would never speak easily about something he couldn't understand.

……

The Duke of Qi.

When Changsun Wuji came back, he locked himself in the study.

Although he could see clearly, he still couldn't figure out some problems. It stands to reason that he had already reminded Zhang Sun Chong, but why did this happen?On this question, he pondered all the way.

According to the current situation, Li Chengqian's crown prince position is as stable as Mount Tai.

In other words, if there is no accident, after 200 years of Li, the Tang Dynasty belongs to Li Chengqian.

No matter how you look at it, Li Chengqian has no reason to indulge Li Yuanjing.

Like Li Er, he couldn't figure out what kind of strategic buffer Li Chengqian wanted.

It's not that he can't understand Li Chengqian's defense against Li Er.

He really understands this.

Even though he is Li Er's brother-in-law, he still understands the truth that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.

What he couldn't understand was that Li Chengqian didn't know how difficult it would be for a country within a country like Li Yuanjing to appear if he ascended the throne in the future?
Just to guard against his father, why not guard against his uncle?
Let Li Yuanjing make Da Zhao Wang Ting a fait accompli, and it will be difficult to reverse it.

Even though he was on Li Er's side from the beginning to the end, if it is said that after Li Er's death, he certainly hoped that Li Chengqian would be enthroned.

It's not that he has a close relationship with Li Chengqian, but that Li Chengqian's mother and queen are his own sisters, that's all.

Of course, he had more choices, after all, Empress Changsun was not the only son of Li Chengqian.

This is also the reason why he made two-handed preparations.

But what Li Chengqian did today was really unexpected to him.

"Master of the State." Just when Changsun Wuji thought about it and couldn't understand, the servant knocked on the door and said, "Fang Pushe and Xueshi Chu and his son are asking to see you."

In the study, Changsun Wuji was also taken aback when he heard the words.

He can understand Fang Xuanling's visit, Bachelor Chu?Chu Liang?

What are they doing?

But after a little thought, Changsun Wuji smiled, he understood.

"Treat me well in the front hall, the old man will go right away."

No matter the reason for visiting, Fang Xuanling still has to give her face.

Speaking of which, the friendship between him and Fang Xuanling was pretty good in the past.

It's just that in recent years, Fang Xuanling has been overpowering him, and he has always regarded Fang Xuanling as the goal of catching up.

After all, the thing of rights is not only unparalleled to the emperor, but also to people like them.

"The honored guest comes to the door, the old man is not far away to welcome you." Walking to the front hall, before entering the door, Changsun Wuji said with a smile on his face.

"I've met Duke Qi." Chu Liang and his son hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted.

Fang Xuanling also got up and smiled, "I happened to be passing by, and I ran into Brother Chu and his son. I happened to ask for advice, so the old man had the cheek to pull him here."

In fact, he came straight to Changsun Wuji's mansion not long after he separated from Wei Zheng and the others.

As for Chu Liang and his son, they met by chance. He just happened to ask for advice, so they pulled them over together.

"Here we come, prepare a table of good food and wine." Changsun Wuji said with a smile, "Come, everyone, please sit down."

"Then I'll bother the auxiliary machine brother today." Fang Xuanling laughed and laughed.

Changsun Wuji was very clear in his heart, so he smiled at the moment: "The honored guests come to the door, and the plants are full of brilliance, so there is no such thing as disturbing, but I don't know how many people will come to the door today, do you have something important to do?"

Although he is clear in his heart, it is impossible to expect him to take the initiative to speak up.

Chu Liang and his son were really embarrassed, they knew what the hell.

They were really dragged here by Fang Xuanling halfway.

Chu Liang and Fang Xuanling were also old acquaintances, and they were both one of the eighteen bachelors. Fang Xuanling was still a court servant, and it was really difficult for Chu Liang to refuse.

Of course, talking about Chu Liang alone may be unfamiliar to many people, but when it comes to his son, he is also well-known. His son is the later political ally of Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and one of the four great masters of the early Tang Dynasty who is as famous as Yu Shinan.

"It's nothing important. I don't want to talk to Yuhun, so I came here to ask Brother Fuji for advice." Fang Xuanling said, then looked at Chu Liang and his son, and said, "By the way, Brother Ximing once seemed to be doing something. Did you pass Sihu, Xihai County?"

Xihai County, which is now the area around Fucheng City in Tuyuhun.

When Chu Liang was an official in the former Sui Dynasty, because he was a bachelor of the East Palace of Prince Yang Yong at first, but later Yang Yong was pulled down by Yang Guang. Talent and learning.

But this guy seemed to be really unlucky. Yang Xuangan rebelled not long after he had befriended him. In addition, he was too upright and often contradicted Yang Guang, who was already enthroned at that time.

Therefore, Yang Guang kicked him to Xihai County at that time.

At that time, Murong Fuyun had not returned to the country, and Xihai County was still under the jurisdiction of the former Sui Dynasty.

"That's right, Xiaguan was indeed a household secretary in Xihai County." Chu Liang gradually understood.

Changsun Wuji just listened, he already understood what Fang Xuanling meant.

"Brother Ximing, do you still have an impression of Tuyuhun?" Fang Xuanling asked directly without hiding it.

With the eldest grandson Wuji present, there was no taboo for him to ask these questions.

In private, he really didn't dare to ask such a question.

"I don't know what aspect the house servant is asking?"

"People." Fang Xuanling continued to ask.

Hearing his question, Changsun Wuji also became energetic.

Li Chengqian is very good at using ordinary people to make a fuss, so Fang Xuanling's intention should not be too obvious when he asks this.

Speaking of this topic, Chu Liang did not rush to answer, but looked back at Chu Suiliang: "Dengshan, do you still have an impression?"

"I have some impressions." Chu Suiliang had guessed Fang Xuanling's intentions just now, and now he had already prepared a draft in his heart, and said, "Although most of the people in Tuyuhun ran away with Murong Fuyun at that time, they also There are still many people left.

What impressed the officials most at that time was that the common people were at peace with the situation. They seemed to have no resistance to who ruled them, as long as they could have a place to live.

As for the resentment towards Murong Fuyun, the lower officials didn't see it. "

"It's normal." Hearing his reminder, Chu Liang also remembered, and said, "When Murong Fuyun ran away, he didn't take those people away with him, so it means that if they were abandoned, or It’s not that the homeland is hard to leave.”

Fang Xuanling nodded after listening, looked at Changsun Wuji, and asked again: "I remember that Ximing brother is still under Xue Ju's tent..."

Taking this opportunity, Fang Xuanling asked Chu Liang and his father and son to learn a lot about the Tuyuhun area.

There is no way, Chu Liang and his son are really suitable candidates.

But in the Ministry of Industry, Duan Lun was full of joy.

Whether it's Li Jing's good news, or Tuyuhun's crime, it has nothing to do with him.

Now he only wants to do a good job in the Ministry of Industry.

Judging from Li Er's top rewards to Yang Wancai and Tao Mingyu, Li Er attached great importance to technological innovation.

You know, as one of the eighteen bachelors, Chu Liang was only awarded a baron.

Tao Mingyu just provided the complete law of pouring steel and was awarded the earl, which is really a top reward.

Of course, everyone also understood that Tao Mingyu's title was just a way for Li Erqian to buy horse bones, but this also showed that Li Er attached great importance to technological innovation.

Since Li Er values ​​it, as a courtier, he naturally has to share his worries for the Holy One.

Immediately, Duan Lun called all the officials from the Ministry of Industry to the public office for a meeting.

And before the meeting, he first told everyone about Li Er's rewards to Yang Wancai and Tao Mingyu. They are all smart people. Once they heard the reward specifications, everyone immediately understood.

For a while, the whole Ministry of Industry seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.

Even those craftsmen were very excited, they saw new hope.

This also means that Datang's industrial innovation has officially started!

It is true that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.

And when their Ministry of Industry took on a new look, Chu Liang and his son had already left the mansion of Duke Qi.

Fang Xuanling took a sip of the freshly brewed tea soup, and said with a smile, "It's been a few days since I've come to sit at Brother Fuji's house, this is really a big change."

As he said that, he patted his butt off the armrest of the chair and said with a smile, "Well, even the entire Tang Dynasty has undergone considerable changes in the past year.

Let’s just talk about this chair, it must have been popular throughout the Tang Dynasty.

This change, moistens things silently..."

Hearing what he said, Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "There are some changes. I wonder if Brother Xian thinks this change is good or bad?"

It's not that he doesn't understand what Fang Xuanling means, but he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Who knows what the future will be like?
How could he leave someone behind.

Shaking his head, Fang Xuanling remained silent, but only gave Changsun Wuji a meaningful look.

Changsun Wuji was also unafraid, he exchanged a glance with Fang Xuanling, and in an instant, their hearts were like mirrors.

"Hahaha." After a glance, the two laughed at the same time.

"Okay, I've been delaying the auxiliary machine for a long time today, and I'm leaving too." After laughing, Fang Xuanling got up and said.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji got up quickly and said: "If there is, Brother Xian is busy with work, so I won't stay any longer."

After Fang Xuanling left, the steward of the eldest grandson's family came up and said, "Mr. Lang, what's going on with this house servant today?"

"Where did it come from?" Changsun Wuji laughed when he heard the words, "It's not from anywhere. He came here to find the answer because he was uneasy."

"Answer?" The manager was taken aback when he heard the words. He had been in the eldest grandson's house for some years, and he spoke casually, so he asked, "What answer does he want to find in our house?"

He would not have asked this question if it hadn't been about the Duke of Qi's mansion.

"Okay, it has nothing to do with us." Changsun Wuji also knew what he was thinking, and said immediately, "You don't need to worry about these things. Recently, when you have free time, you should pay more attention to the things in the workshop, especially the iron workshop.

Remember that Tao Mingyu from before?
Today, His Majesty rewarded an earl for the method of pouring steel he provided. Do you understand what it means? "

"Tao Mingyu? Earl?" The steward was taken aback for a moment, but soon he also came to his senses and said, "Does this mean that His Majesty has begun to value craftsmen?"

"It's not a craftsman." Changsun Wuji shook his head, "It's craftsmanship, the craftsmanship of the Ming court did bring a lot of pressure to His Majesty, but it's also a good thing for us.

To be precise, this is a good thing for Datang.

After all, no matter how you say it, technological progress can't be a bad thing. "

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji also looked at the chair he was sitting on, and said with a chuckle, "It really has changed a lot..."

The manager couldn't understand, but he didn't need to understand many things. Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, the manager thought about it and said, "Then should we train more craftsmen?"

"Cultivation is naturally necessary." Changsun Wuji said, "For a long time in the future, His Majesty may value craftsmen very much, but it is still the same sentence, craftsmen alone are not enough. If you want to get a share of it , then we still have to start with craftsmanship.”

"It's a pity for Tao Mingyu to talk about craftsmanship." He said in a matter-of-fact manner, "Our Duke's Mansion discovered him first."

After waving his hands, Changsun Wuji said: "Let's not talk about this, Tao Mingyu is not something we can get our hands on.

Remember, there are some things we can do, but there are some things we cannot do, such as what Tao Mingyu has mastered.

This thing, although we do it for the time being, it won't have much impact, but who knows in the future?

Even if we do have a breakthrough in certain crafts in the future, we should do it like this time, understand? "

After listening, the manager nodded immediately, he understood what Changsun Wuji meant.

"Then I'll go to work first."

After he left, Changsun Wuji walked out of the front hall, looked in the direction of the northwest, and said to himself: "I really don't know what you want to do, but you are being followed by Fang Xuanling, and I am afraid that you will be in trouble in the days to come." It's not that good."

Yes, Fang Xuanling has his eye on Li Chengqian.

It's not that he's going to do something to Li Chengqian, but some of Li Chengqian's intentions have been exposed.

Fang Xuanling didn't say a word of nonsense just now.

The point is, it's not too scary for Fang Xuanling to follow him, what's scary is that Li Er will definitely let Fang Xuanling do it.

After all, as the emperor of Tang Dynasty, he didn't want his empire to be infiltrated silently by others.

As for why he didn't say anything.

Hehe, don't forget, he is now on Li Er's side.

Li Er hasn't expressed his opinion yet, what's his hurry.

And he also knew that Li Er would not express his opinion, anyway, Li Er was still Li Chengqian's father.

Just like he is Li Chengqian's uncle, he will not express his opinion easily.

"My lord..." At this moment, the servant came in again, "There is a greeting card."

"It's him?" Changsun Wuji was taken aback after receiving the invitation, this guy's movements are really fast!
