The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

During the Wude years, Li Yuan felt powerless in some matters. He needed the support of these people for the Tang Dynasty to gain power, so he turned a blind eye to some matters and tried to find a balance.

Many things in the court were not completely in line with his ideas as an emperor.

When he was in power, he did everything that was beneficial to the aristocratic families, such as rewards and titles.

At that time, the Li family was not pure even though they were royal family. They were still more of aristocratic families.

In the Zhenguan years, Li Shimin wanted to be tougher and wanted to establish the majesty of the court and the emperor.

Gradually, the two sides confronted each other.

The aristocratic families were not afraid of the royal family.

The Li family gained power with the support of the aristocratic families.

Is it the same as the Sui Dynasty? Yang Jian seized the world with the support of the aristocratic families. Later, Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to overturn the table and weaken the aristocratic families, so he started to fight Goguryeo.

When the noble families saw that Yang Guang, the person in charge, was going to start making trouble and wanted to take action against the noble families, they would not stand for it, so they turned the table over.

For them, it was not a problem for whoever became the emperor. The problem was that their interests could not be touched. Whoever harmed their interests, they would turn the table over.

This was the problem that Li Yuan was most worried about.

He turned the table over for the former Sui Dynasty together with other noble families.

"My second brother gave me a handwritten order and a military token to ensure my safety. The banner we raised to the outside world was to patrol along the road and suppress bandits." Li Fu said: "Once there is any disturbance, the guards can mobilize troops nearby to protect themselves."

Li Yuan nodded when he heard this.

This is a good idea.

"Even so, you should be more careful on the road. In many things, it is easy to avoid an open attack, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. After you finish your work there, hurry back to Chang'an City. In Chang'an City, even if you go to Jingyang County, staying in the manor is safer than outside. When the entire situation in the Tang Dynasty stabilizes, you will not have so many worries if you want to go out."

Li Yuan is still worried about Li Fu's safety.

If something happens to Li Fu, the nephew he finally found, he will be really heartbroken.

"Uncle, don't worry." Li Fu smiled and said, "I cherish my life very much. But there is one thing that makes me feel very sorry. It's the season of spring and blooming flowers, but now I'm done with my work and I didn't take you to the farm to stay for two days to get some fresh air. But I have already told my housekeepers, Lao Zhao and Lao Zhou, that if you want to go out, just send someone to my house to deliver a message, and they will be waiting at the palace gate and go to the farm with you. Then you can live in my house for a few days, and I will also make arrangements for the farm." All right.

All the food, drinks and daily necessities at home are prepared for you.

It’s just that it’s not as rich as your Da’an Palace. If you want to watch beautiful women dancing, it will be a little difficult. ”

“Hahahaha, you, really, can I watch beautiful women dancing all day long?” Li Yuan said with a smile: “Okay, I’ll remember what you said. If I get bored in Da’an Palace, I’ll stay at your farm for two days.”

The uncle and nephew had a pleasant conversation in Da’an Palace, and Li Fu also told Li Yuan about his own arrangements.

Li Yuan also understood that Li Fu wanted to send so much money there. If he only sent his men, if something went wrong in the middle, his men might not be able to bear the responsibility. Moreover, tea was also something that Li Fu figured out himself, and no one knew it better than him.

He went there in person to do things, and it was twice as effective with half the effort.

If he missed the spring and summer seasons, it would probably take until next year for the new tea to arrive in Chang’an.

There was not much tea left in Da’an Palace.

It can be said that anyone who has new tea leaves in hand is running out of stock.

There is not much left in Li Fu's house, and it is difficult to send it out.

In the house, Lao Zhao has packed all the money that Li Fu will take with him. There are 20 boxes full of them. Xiao Tao also packed a few boxes, which are full of things needed on the road, such as clothes for changing.

The idea of ​​being poor at home and rich on the road is engraved in everyone's bones.

All the carriages in the house that can be used are used.

Li Fu and Xiao Tao took the carriage, and the others rode horses.

The wealth was pulled by the carriage on the cart.

In this way, there are not many people and carriages, and some cooking utensils for the road are also needed.

Although it was decided to take the water route, there is still a section of the journey that needs to be traveled on land.

Lao Zhao contacted a large ship in advance and waited at the Yellow River Ferry. The section from Chang'an City to the Yellow River Ferry could not be taken by water..

The guards also packed their bags. They would not live such a delicate life. They only brought three or four sets of clothes for changing.

When they arrived in Huizhou, even if they did not have enough clothes, they could buy some more locally.

They had to pack weapons and equipment, especially when they saw Lao Zhao counted so many treasures. They were more cautious. They packed up their life-saving assets. This mission was so important that they wanted to make sure it was foolproof.

Not many people knew that Li Fu was leaving Chang'an City, but the news in Chang'an City was always well-informed. Li Fu brought so many guards from the farm to Chang'an City this time. When he entered the city, people were watching him.

Pei Family.

"King Jingyang brought so many guards into the city. Did something happen?" Lawyer Pei knelt on the couch and asked curiously at his father.

"Who knows? Anyway, now we just saw him with his guards to Chang'an. We don't know what exactly he is doing. However, most of his guards are old people from Jinyang. It's not surprising if he wants to arrange them in Chang'an."

"But, looking at his past behavior, he doesn't seem like someone who will stay in Chang'an for a long time. I think he cares more about the farm than the Jingyang King's house in Chang'an. Moreover, the manpower and material resources he invested in the farm are not a small amount. Recently, I have asked the people in our farm to keep an eye on him. As soon as the spring plowing is over, there will be a large-scale construction. I heard from the workers that the Jingyang King wants to build a granary on the farm." Lawyer Pei said.

"Granary? Why, he wants to store grain. It is also against the law to hoard too much grain privately. Is he ignorant, or is he fearless? If that's the case, Your Majesty can't speak for him." Pei Ji's old eyes flashed a trace of gloom, shaking the wine bottle in his hand.
