Don't be a prince

"If you want to open a branch, you have to start from scratch. How can you let the local people recognize your wine as a good thing? Naturally, it depends on the power of the brand. You have to let everyone know that the wine in Yongsheng Winery is not only high in alcohol, The quality is also guaranteed. But how to spread this reputation? Don’t you have to rely on yourself?”

Zhao Yongsheng forgot the prohibition of not speaking, and said in confusion: "Your Highness, spread your reputation? How do you spread it?"

Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "Naturally, it is by taking advantage of the opportunity of the locust plague! Believe me, there will definitely be a big locust plague in a year's time. This year, you should produce less high-grade wine and use the previous profits and accumulated money to save more food. When the locust plague breaks out, if you scatter some food, won't you spread your reputation!"

Zhao Yongsheng was not as passionate as Li Chengqian imagined, but said in horror: "Your Highness, let alone whether the locust plague is true or not, even buying grain and bulk grain is not something that villains dare to do." Ah! Hoarding food is no different from rebellion, and distributing food is a serious crime to invite people's hearts. This little old man can't afford such a crime!"

Li Chengqian slapped Zhao Yongsheng on the head: "Stupid! Stupid! Who told you to take the blame? Hoarding food and bulk food, that's something you can do? These are all things that I asked you to do, do you understand? ?It is you who do these things, but it originated from the meaning of loneliness. In this process, all you can get is fame. As for the locust plague, if you don’t believe it, let’s make an agreement that there will definitely be a big one this year There is no small locust plague, and there will never be heavy snowfall this winter. If these two things don't happen, I will withdraw my share and give you the prescription completely, how about it?"

Zhao Yongsheng couldn't help rubbing his fingers. What the prince said was indeed a fantasy, which was unbelievable.However, taking ten thousand steps back, so what if the locust plague does not arise?So what if all the family wealth is lost?After getting the prince's prescription, he can still gather the family wealth quickly.

Zhao Yongsheng, my heart is moving...

Patting Zhao Yongsheng on the shoulder, Li Chengqian said indifferently: "Xin Gu, how can Gu trick you? Just do what Gu said. In addition, after you go back, call Li Dahai, Gu still has something to tell him."

Zhao Yongsheng was still rubbing his fingers. After finally making up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "Success, I will trust the prince once this time! Are you sure, if the locust plague does not come up? Fangzi will belong to the young one?"

Li Chengqian smiled slightly: "Gu will lie to you? If you don't believe it, you can call a few businessmen, or even the housekeeper, as a witness!"

Li Chengqian naturally knew what Zhao Yongsheng was thinking.This bastard, coveted Fang Zi's ownership, but he was afraid that he would be subject to the prince's prestige, which would lead to a complete loss.

To deal with a greedy person, it is natural to promise enough conditions to make him greedy.For this reason, Li Chengqian took out Fang Zi's ownership as a temptation without hesitation.

Seeing that the crown prince said so, Zhao Yongsheng quickly said: "No need, I can trust the crown prince. Then, the little old man will resign, and I will inform Li Dahai to come here today."

Li Chengqian nodded and watched Zhao Yongsheng limping away.

Whether it is grain or meat reserves, it is not something that the prince can directly operate.

At this time, the role of Zhao Yongsheng and Li Dahai appeared.

Due to his age and the height of the East Palace wall, he needs help from the outside world to do anything he wants to do.

There is only so much that can be done. Facing the unknown disaster, Li Chengqian really doesn't know what else he can do.

Everything, probably can only be resigned to fate.I hope that what he did will not be a timely help, but an icing on the cake.

Chapter 99 The Terrible Hundred Knight

Li Jing's classwork lasted only two months, and in May, before the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Jing had to stop teaching.Although he doesn't want to admit it, the prince has indeed reached the point where he can become a teacher.

Although the formation of troops with wood chips and stones seemed like talking on paper, but even so, he had to praise the prince's intelligence.Most of the time, he has to fight for the prince's unconstrained style.The so-called art of war is to form a personal style of leading troops.As for the art of war, Li Jing felt that even if the crown prince taught himself, there would be no problems.

The soldiers led by Prince Liu have also learned how to quickly change formations, and how to attack together is the most efficient.

After finishing all this, Li Chengqian led Liu Mang's team back to the East Palace without the harem's urging.

This year is the first year of Zhenguan, so various festivals are extraordinarily lively.Usually on the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor would just give a banquet and a share of summer clothes, but this year's Dragon Boat Festival, I don't know what the emperor's father thinks, but there will be a dragon boat race.

For dragon boat races, let's just race dragon boats. The disgusting thing is that Donggong is actually on the list.

That's right, it is the East Palace, not the "Royal Team" with the Harem.

"Hehe, Your Highness, don't forget that the prince's personal command is your personal soldier. Although you are young, you are not unavailable. What's more, although the dragon boat race is just for fun, many people secretly open the market to gamble. , the East Palace is not short of money, so if you are not allowed to go up, who will go up."

Li Jing was a bit gloating, he saw the training results of Liu Mang and others, and most of the East Palace team could make it to the top.As for his family, although all the generals are brave and good at fighting, they are useless in the dragon boat race, and they will probably lose in the first round.

The carriage hurriedly drove into the East Palace, and then hurriedly drove to Qujiang Pond.

With Liu Mang and others, Li Chengqian rushed to the edge of Qujiang Pond.

The current Qujiang Pond is much larger than the later Qujiang Pond.

The pavilion by the pool was full of high-ranking officials and nobles, and the dragon boats in the pool were full of hard-working generals from various families.

The emperor's order was issued in a hurry, and there was no time for everyone to prepare.

After finding a boat for Liu Mang and others, Li Chengqian stopped Liu Mang and told him, "Don't be afraid, dragon boat racing is all about neatness and strength. In terms of strength, none of you will lose, as long as you practice more neatly." .Gu doesn’t know what the winning prize will be, but no matter what it is, as long as you make it to the top three, Gu will definitely reward you a lot!”

Liu Mang smiled, picked up the drumsticks on the boat, and boarded the boat.

Fortunately, this team is somewhat coordinated with each other. Judging by their speed after leaving the shore and entering the water, they are quite good.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Li Chengqian followed the bright yellow color and found the royal pavilion.

The emperor's father and mother's eldest grandson were also there. Looking at the racing boat with the dragon flag in Qujiang Pond, it was obvious that it was a team representing the royal family.

Seeing Li Chengqian approaching, both of them laughed, especially Li Shimin, who took out a glass and poured Li Chengqian a glass of wine.

"Chengqian, I heard that you actually beat Li Jing in the formation of troops, you should work harder and strive for consecutive victories!"

Li Chengqian took the cup and drank it in one gulp, and immediately felt a lot more comfortable in his throat.

Sitting next to her under the guidance of his eldest grandson, Li Chengqian immediately felt refreshed.

Good guy, it turns out that this pavilion is the most ventilated area by the Qujiang Pool, no wonder the emperor's father didn't deliberately sit in the north side.

It can be seen that Li Shimin is in a good mood today, pointing at a few furious courtiers and laughing from time to time.

The courtiers can't help it. The emperor's order is too sudden. It is even more difficult to form a dragon boat team in a very short time.

For Liu Mang and others, Li Chengqian was more at ease, even if he was not around to supervise, they would learn to work together.Li Jing's training for them in the past two months can only be described as miserable.

In terms of formation change, if any team makes a mistake, it will implicate the entire team to double the training the next day.With double training, Hell Road is no different. In just two months, these soldiers learned how important "cooperation" is.

Seeing Li Chengqian's confident appearance, Li Shimin said: "It seems that you are very assured of the prince's proficiency, boy, do you have the confidence to surpass my team?"

Glancing at the royal team galloping across the water, Li Chengqian smiled wryly and shook his head.

How could it be possible to win? It seemed that the Royals had started training early in the morning, and their skills could outshine other teams.Obviously, the old man wanted this effect, and he definitely went for the first place.

Under such circumstances, even if you can win, you have to let him win.Those who dare to compete with the emperor for the first place don't want to live anymore?

Seeing Li Chengqian shaking his head, Li Shimin smiled slightly and said nothing more.

The training on the water was still going on. After watching the training for a while, out of the corner of Li Chengqian's eyes, he suddenly noticed a person walking in the corridor outside the pavilion—Changsun Wuji.

After registering to enter, Changsun Wuji did not speak, but knelt down on the ground first.

Seeing his elder brother like this, the eldest grandson was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Changsun Wuji's face was ashen, he gritted his teeth and said: "There is no peace in the clan. As the patriarch of the eldest grandson's family, I am also responsible for the crime. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

No peace?

Li Chengqian thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what wicked things Changsun Wuji did during this period of time. What made him look so ugly?

Seeing her brother kneeling on the ground, the eldest grandson sighed, and could only kneel down. Although she didn't know what happened, she knew that it probably had nothing to do with him directly. Right now, protecting him is the most important thing.

The old lady is kneeling, but the son can still stand?

Just as Li Chengqian was about to kneel down, he was glared at by Li Shimin.

Sitting down obediently, Li Chengqian was going to see what kind of medicine was sold in the old man's gourd.

With a sigh, Li Shimin said: "Assistant Ji, you know, I have never regarded you as an outsider. What's the matter, you can't tell me properly? The eldest grandson Anye rebelled, he has to blame for it, I will not blame it On you. However, you sent assassins privately to assassinate the eldest grandson Anye. What did you do? Once the matter is revealed, even I can’t protect you. Assassins between courtiers have been absolute since ancient times Taboo. Don't worry, I have no intention of questioning you, Bai Qisi has released all the dead men you sent, grandson Anye, I have sent people to prison, and they will be punished when the news from Lizhou comes back!"

In just a few words, Li Chengqian heard a lot of information.

Changsun Wuji, sent someone to assassinate Changsun Anye?

Moreover, the dead soldiers were all captured by Baiqisi?

This Baiqisi is too terrifying!

Chapter 100 Lee Ju and Lee Hyo Chang

You know, uncle eldest grandson Wuji is also a duke of the state. Through the contact with the eldest sons during this period of time, Li Chengqian knows that the duke of the state is already a very powerful title.Which real power of the state is not a big man with thick wrists?

But even the dead man of the state government was still caught by Baiqisi after the action.

Baiqisi, to what extent has Chang'an been monitored!

Changsun Wuji obviously wouldn't make such a fuss like Li Chengqian, but after hearing Li Shimin's words, he didn't know what to say for a while.

The eldest grandson Anye is the half-brother of the eldest grandson Wuji.After the death of his father Changsun Sheng, Changsun Anye took over all the power and even drove Changsun Wuji to Gao Shilian's house.Although such unfeeling and unrighteous people are not uncommon, when Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun become prosperous, it will be rare to see people as cheeky as Changsun Anye who come to seek asylum.

As the half-brother of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Anye was granted the rank of the right prison gate by virtue of his younger siblings, and later moved to the general of the right prison gate.

A guy who is addicted to alcohol and does not do business properly, can be an official to the fourth rank, guarding the important place of the palace gate, the eldest grandson Anye can be said to be able to lie down and enjoy in this life.

However, generally, people who get a high position suddenly without hard work will also breed ambition.

really....

Changsun Wuji's face was still ashen, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty's favor, how can the auxiliary machine not know. As the eldest grandson Anye, who is an arrogant alcoholic, he can serve as the guard of the palace gate. This is His Majesty's grace. But, the eldest grandson Anye After all, it is the eldest grandson's family, and now he is plotting rebellion with Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an County. If he is not punished, it is not enough to clarify the canon. Although the auxiliary machine is a royal family member, as the patriarch of the eldest grandson's family, he should also be held accountable. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to strip Duke Zhao of his title as a warning to others!"

Changsun Wuji's words reminded Li Chengqian of the incident recorded in his memo - "Li Xiaochang rebelled".

Originally, he thought that this incident would be an opportunity for the prince to personally lead troops to practice, but now it seems that there is obviously no need to send troops.Unlike Luo Yi, Li Xiaochang's brain was obviously kicked by a donkey, and he immediately mobilized his troops to rebel. If you want to learn about the Xuanwumen incident, contact the eldest grandson Anye in advance!

The emperor was able to raid the palace and successfully usurp the throne through Chang He, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, so how could he not pay close attention to these key departments?

Seeing Changsun Wuji's serious look, Li Chengqian knew that he was not talking about it, but really wanted to cut himself.

most likely...

It's just that he doesn't want to implicate the queen. If the queen's status is stable, it's only a matter of time before he returns to the position of Duke.

The eldest grandson also sighed: "Your Majesty, I also ask myself to abolish the Queen's position."

Seeing that both the queen and the uncle insisted on being punished, Li Shimin felt extremely helpless.He asked Bai Qisi to cut off the dead man of the eldest grandson's family, just not wanting this matter to become a big deal, and announced the dragon boat race just to divert the attention of the courtiers.

The order of Baiqisi has already been issued, and it won't take long, whether it is Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an County, or Liu Deyu, the general of Youwuwei, will be brought under control soon.When all the evidence is collected, they can be declared guilty and questioned.

Although the eldest grandson Anye is a member of the eldest grandson's family, as long as it is proved that the eldest grandson's family is not involved, even if it is a crime of treason, it will not implicate the queen and eldest grandson Wuji.

As for the queen and eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin really wanted to protect them.Anyone can rebel, but Li Shimin does not believe that his closest people and best friends will betray him.

After sighing, Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, Guanyin servant girl, you all get up. Queen, I will not abolish, and I will not abolish Duke Zhao's title. I did not expose this matter to punish you. , but I want to tell you that even if I doubt the people of the world, I will never doubt you two."

Hearing the emperor's words, Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun could only stand up.

Pointing to the seat next to him that had been set up early in the morning, Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, you just need to concentrate on preparing for the game in front of you. It will take a while for the Baiqi Division to collect evidence and track down the relevant personnel. What's more, the situation in Lizhou is complicated. After taking down Li Xiaochang, Chu Suiliang still needs to go to sort out the system, it won't happen overnight."

Changsun Wuji nodded, took the wine glass handed over by the maid, and drank a glass of wine.

After being rejected twice, he also felt a lot better.

After seeing his mother and uncle both got up, Li Chengqian tentatively asked Li Shimin: "Father, where is Lizhou?"

Regarding his son's question, Li Shimin frowned and said: "Recently, you have been studying classics with Master Li, and you haven't read all the maps. After the game is over, hurry up and make up. Otherwise, the dignified prince will actually ask where Lizhou is, what is Cheng He?" Decent!"

Although he was reprimanding, the emperor didn't mean to be angry.

Changsun Wuji answered on the side: "The name of Lizhou originated from the Western Wei Dynasty General Wei Chi's attack on Xiyizhou, Xike Chengdu, and named it Lizhou from the meaning of "smooth". Lizhou was established in the third year of Sui Kaihuang All prefectures were dismissed, and Xing'an County and other eight counties were directly controlled. In the 18th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Xing'an County was changed to Miangu County. In the third year of Daye, Lizhou General Manager Mansion and Lizhou were abolished, and Yicheng County was relocated, and Miangu County and other seven counties were controlled. county.

Lizhou is located in the north of Shu, and is located at the throat of Shu, Long and Shanxi. It is a very important place.As for Lee Hyo Chang...

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Xiaochang was the county magistrate of Huayin, the younger brother of the Supreme Emperor, and his relationship was relatively distant.When the Supreme Emperor attacked Chang'an, Li Xiaochang donated the Yongfeng warehouse rations, led the crowd to surrender, and awarded Doctor Guanglu.In the first year of Wude, Shangzhu Kingdom and Yi'an County were granted the title, after Lizhou restored the state system, Li Xiaochang became the governor of Lizhou..."

Listening to Changsun Wuji's eloquent speech, Li Chengqian was extremely ashamed. This is the standard for talking about things in this era.Just say a place or a person's name, at least you have to go back for a while before it looks professional.

However, through Changsun Wuji's words, Li Chengqian also probably understood what kind of person Li Xiaochang was.

Although he is a member of the royal family, his relationship with the royal family is not very close, because he offered the granary and surrendered in a timely manner, so he got into the position of the county king.Unlike Li Xiaogong's Hejian County King, he, the Yi'an County King, has a lot of moisture.Even if he did not rebel, he would probably be demoted when the country settled down.

Perhaps, this guy had a premonition of this and chose to take the risk.

However, he did not expect that even if Lizhou was not a critical area, it would not be so easy for him to conspire against him.

After bowing to the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian assured Li Shimin: "When I return to the East Palace, I will remember the territory map of the Tang Dynasty!"

Seeing Li Chengqian's promise, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

As a person who will inherit the throne in the future, what if he is not familiar with the territory of the country!

Chapter 1 Raising tigers?

There is still some time until noon, but the weather in May is already extremely hot.

Walking around irritably, Li Chengqian longed for a breeze to blow over, so that he could get some relief.The damn costumes of the Tang Dynasty, even in the midsummer, also pay attention to the clothes must cover the body, and it is unruly to show a little.In comparison, those trained generals on the river are much more comfortable.Not to mention that they were on the surface of the pool, even in their clothes, they all changed into short outfits, exposing their furry arms, chest and thighs, enjoying the pleasure of low status.

Seeing Li Chengqian walking back and forth, Li Shimin, who was equally hot and upset, said helplessly: "I know you are hot, but don't walk back and forth, why not, sit down."

The old man had spoken, so Li Chengqian could only sit on the stone bench.But fortunately, the maid behind her waved those two huge fans and fanned it, somewhat cooling off.
