Great Tang Southern Emperor

How should I say it?The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has an average of three lives per kilometer (according to the report), and the number of deaths per kilometer in Meridian Valley is 66, and it has just been repaired for a little over half, which means that there will be more deaths in the future (according to the probability, it should be still About 1 people have to be invested, which means an average of [-] lives per kilometer).

Even if the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is supported by technology, how much technology can be used on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?It's nothing more than some engineering equipment and more powerful explosives. The conditions are not much better than this time, right?Just like that, Li Shimin still has a face?Li Zhen really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

But seeing that Li Shimin was proud of himself, Li Zhen didn't want to scold him, so he had to follow his words: "But in this way, our slaves will not be enough. The road leading to the middle of Shu is only one Ziwu Valley. At least three or more must be repaired, but if you follow the way of your father, the Shu Road alone can consume all these slaves. More importantly, there is no war on the grassland at this time. If you want to make such a large number of slaves Slaves, that's impossible."

"Yeah, isn't your father worried?" Li Shimin said with a sad face: "Nowadays, all the countries in the world have respected my father as the Khan of Heaven, and my father will not be able to deal with them for a while. It's easy."

"Actually, it's not impossible." Li Zhen's eyes rolled: "We can't take action against them, but if they fight among themselves, it's none of our business, right?"

"You mean to instigate war between them, and then we take prisoners from them?" Li Shimin is not an idiot either, he immediately understood after being prompted by Li Zhen, but he still hesitated: "But isn't this wrong? Too righteous? They are fighting among themselves, but we are fueling the flames behind, isn't it good? After all, I am their God Khan, is it really good to entrap them like this?"

"Father, do you really treasure the title of Heavenly Khan?" Li Zhen sneered and said, "The reason why they respect you as Heavenly Khan is because they are afraid of you, not because they respect you. Now they call you Heavenly Khan." God Khan, when the Tang Dynasty weakens, these people will be the first to bite us. These indigenous barbarians, who are afraid of power but not virtuous, are all white-eyed wolves. As long as there are interests between the country and the country, where is the morality? It is really not possible, father, you support some slave traders of foreign races, let them come forward, and let us enjoy their achievements behind the scenes."

"This is a way. I said, Zhen'er, you really know how to change the subject. How can you talk about the slave issue?" Li Shimin suddenly came to his senses: "Aren't you talking about things on the grassland?"

"Uh..." Li Zhen secretly wiped off a cold sweat, and said with a smile, "Maybe the child is too tired. I haven't rested at all these days, and I'm in a trance. After staying up for so long, I can't concentrate. Concentrated."

Li Shimin directly saw through Li Zhen's Xiaojiujiu, pointed at his nose and laughed and cursed: "Well, you brat, if you want to rest, just say it, as for beating around the bush like this? It's okay, the emperor won't ask today, you go Let's rest, you can talk to Father after tomorrow, understand?"

"Yes, the boy understands, the boy will leave." Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and kept slandering her in her heart, what's wrong with beating around the bush?It's not bad if you don't scold you face to face.Is there such a father as you?The child is exhausted, and he just came back and tossed and tossed all day. Finally, the matter is over. You still have to ask questions, can't you ask them a day later?

It's just that Li Zhen didn't go back to sleep as he wished, because as soon as he left Li Shimin's door, he saw Concubine Yan's maid Liuli dozing off on the pillar outside the door. She walked towards Concubine Yan's Palace.

Concubine Yan was already so sleepy that she was about to fall asleep, but as soon as Li Zhen came over, she suddenly woke up. stopped.He told Concubine Yan again about the things on the grassland, and when Li Zhen bid farewell to Concubine Yan, the sky was already pale, Gang Tang just squinted on the bed, and was woken up by Xiao Fuzi—they were about to go to court.

Today's court meeting is extraordinarily grand, but all those who are eligible to participate in the court meeting, except for those who really can't leave, have basically arrived, and the purpose of these people is to ask Li Zhen about the things on the grassland - as long as they are not stupid, they are basically there. Knowing that the development of the new frontier means huge business opportunities and benefits, but because of the unclear situation and insufficient information, no one intervened.But now that Li Zhen has returned, and the new Chief Protector has also taken office, that is to say, the grassland has been completely stabilized. Everyone knows what this means.The only problem now is that they don't know the specific situation of the grassland, but Li Zhen, the former top leader of the grassland, has first-hand information.

He was dragged and asked again by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and it was not only about the grassland affairs, anyway, as long as it was something that Li Zhen had experienced, he was asked about every detail, Li Zhen's mouth was worn out, and finally It solved this group of curious babies.After an explanation, Li Zhen only had one thought: I am so tired and want to rest.

After going to court, Li Zhen was about to go back to catch up on sleep, but was stopped again: "So it's the eldest brother, I don't know if the elder brother stopped the younger brother, what's the matter?"

Li Zhen's tone was not very good, not only because of the bad relationship between the two, but also because she was too sleepy and was about to go back to sleep, but was held back by someone again, so it would be strange if her attitude improved.

Li Chengqian frowned, and subconsciously wanted to get angry, but he didn't know what he thought of, took a deep breath, and said in a harmonious voice: "Eighth brother, this is wrong, you come back from the expedition, and as the eldest brother, I am going to make a big deal for you." There is a welcome feast, I wonder if the eighth brother is willing to give the eldest brother this face?"

"Go, there's free food, why don't you go?" Li Zhen smiled and agreed, "But I just don't know, who is coming?"

"It's a private banquet for my brother. No outsiders are invited. It's mainly our brothers. By the way, eighth brother, you have been away from Beijing for a year. My brothers and I miss you very much."

"Only my own people? That would be great, I hate contact with outsiders the most." Li Zhen understood, no wonder her attitude is so good today, so she came here to show off to me.

"That's good. This afternoon, Tianranju, eighth brother, don't be late."

"Tianranju? Understood, I will definitely be there."

Chapter 5 Who will steal Lao Tzu Restaurant? (fourth more)

In the afternoon, Li Zhen came to Tianranju as scheduled.

After taking a good night's sleep, he was finally not sleepy, but he still looked like a sick chicken, which made it hard for people to look up.

"Master, are you here? Please come inside." To do business in Chang'an, you don't need to have any background, but you must have a pair of good eyes, otherwise you will misread the person, and it's fine if you lose your business. If you lose your life, it's over. .

"Who are you?" Li Zhen frowned and looked at the shopkeeper in front of her: "Where's Zhang Chen? When did Tianranju change the shopkeeper? Why didn't I know?"

"Zhang Chen? How do you know this name?" The shopkeeper's complexion suddenly changed, he didn't care about guessing Li Zhen's identity, and scolded: "Boy, who are you Zhang Chen?"

"I asked you where Zhang Chen went?" Li Zhen asked again. Zhang Chen is the shopkeeper of Tianranju. Li Zhen personally recruited him. He has always taken care of Tianranju. man?

"It seems that during the time I was away in Chang'an, some interesting things happened in Chang'an City." Li Zhen's expression turned cold: "Li Ergou, I will give you a quarter of an hour to tell me what is going on here. Check properly."

"Yes." Li Ergou behind him said respectfully, and turned to leave.

"Hey, kid, you're not here to find trouble, are you?" The shopkeeper's eyes straightened: "Do you know whose property this Tianranju belongs to? It belonged to His Royal Highness the King of Yue at that time. His Highness the King of Yue made great military exploits. Come back, you come to find a job today, you you you are"

"Say it." Li Zhen looked at the shopkeeper whose face suddenly turned pale, and said with a smile, "Go on, what's wrong with me? What am I?"

"Gudu!" The shopkeeper swallowed hard, and tried to explain in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness, I am actually me"

Just at this time, Li Ergou came back: "Your Highness, there is no need to check at all. I will know the reason when I inquire in the surrounding shops."

"So fast?" Li Zhen said coldly, "Let's hear it, I want to know who would dare to steal my property while I'm not around."

"Your Highness, you'd better not know." The shopkeeper over there didn't know where the courage came from, stood up and threatened: "Although you are a prince, the people behind me are definitely not something you can offend. Isn't it just a hotel? ? You hand over the restaurant to my master, and our two families make friends. Isn’t that great? It’s better than having one more enemy, right?”

"But Tianranju is my property anyway, even if it is a gift, then I should know who to give it to?" Li Zhen said quietly: "Besides, I don't think there is anyone else in the world besides my father. Who can threaten me. And taking it without permission while the owner is not around, this should be called stealing? I, Li Zhen, will not be of any future, and I will not be reduced to being with a thief. Li Ergou, what are you waiting for?"

However, Li Ergou looked distressed, and said mournfully: "Your Highness, this guy is right. According to my subordinates, let's leave this matter as it is. It's not easy behind this matter."

"Is it easy for me? Stop talking nonsense, tell me who it is?" Li Zhen shouted: "If you don't tell me, I will let others investigate."

"Don't don't don't, the subordinates say yes." Once Li Zhen uses others, it means that Li Zhen no longer trusts him, so Li Ergou quickly said: "It is the eldest grandson."

"Changsun Wuji?" Li Zhen shook her head subconsciously the moment she said the name. Changsun Wuji is greedy for power and acts cautiously. It is impossible to leave someone with a handle for a mere natural residence , since it is not Changsun Wuji, it should be

"Changsun Chong?" Li Zhen spit out this name subconsciously. In Chang'an City, the person who can make Li Zhen helpless is also surnamed Changsun, and this person is not Changsun Wuji, so the only candidate can only be Changsun Chong—— - After all, Changsun Shunde or Changsun Quan are far away from each other, and they don't have the courage to attack themselves.

"It's the eldest grandson." Li Ergou reported in a low voice: "Not only the natural residence, but even the royal sugar has fallen into his hands, and the Tian workshop is about to be taken by him. Only the thousand hammer workshop and the king Because the bank was protected by the emperor and the princes, he did not succeed."

"How courageous." Li Zhen suddenly turned around and asked loudly, "Then why didn't anyone tell me? Did all of our people die? Don't even have a letter writer?"

A little eunuch behind Li Zhen said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it's not that the slaves don't tell you, but the emperor specifically ordered you not to tell His Highness."

"Father? I understand." After thinking about it, Li Zhen understood Li Shimin's intentions. Changsun Wuji is now at the height of power in the court. With the relationship of Changsun Empress, plus he is extremely talented, Li Shimin also couldn't part with him.And I am far away in Turkic, if I know the news, with my personality, maybe I will run back to Chang'an and fight with Changsun Wuji.But at that time, I had no merits except for a random attack on the Turks, and it would be of no benefit to confront Changsun Wuji.

It's different now, the people below don't know, but the ministers in the court are very clear that the person who is really in charge of the Turks is me. Under my own management, the northern grassland has the stable scene it is today, and I can say that I owe a lot Wei.Once the grassland is stable, business will be easy to do. Whether it is a caravan or a minister who plans to go to the Turkic line, he has to accept his own favor.Not only did I get the credit, but I also let people know my ability, and I gained a lot of favors. I have a little way, at least I won't lose half of it.

The shopkeeper didn't know this, he thought that Li Zhen was really scared, and suddenly he became more confident, and he spoke hard, nodded and said: "That's right, my master is Young Master Changsun, His Royal Highness, although you have a noble status, but my young master But the prince’s cousin today, no matter how noble you are, can you still live up to the prince? You have also seen that even the emperor is helping us, what are you fighting against us with?”

"No wonder, it turned out that you came to me to show off, why did you invite me to dinner so kindly?" Li Zhen murmured.

"Your Highness, what did you say?"

"It's okay, go get me some oil."

"Your Highness, what do you want oil for?"

"Don't worry about it so much? Hurry up, remember, it's oil to eat, preferably lard."

"Yes." Li Ergou didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly called a few people to buy oil.

Chapter 6 Feast (fifth update)

No longer looking at Li Ergou who left, Li Zhen turned around, looked at the shopkeeper who was getting more and more proud, and slowly stretched out a finger: "I want to correct you, you made two mistakes just now, first, It was Chang Sun Chong who robbed my shop, not the prince, so no matter how honorable the prince is, he can't control my affairs with Chang Sun Chong."
