Chapter 149
Soon, the foreign trade business of the three major families was completely taken over by a caravan from Lingnan.
The goods piled up at the docks are continuously transported to those iron-clad cargo ships with strange shapes.
Under Li Su's order, Liu Lin even increased the purchase price by [-]%.
For the people and businessmen of Suzhou Prefecture, after the arrival of the Lingnan caravan, they are many times better than those three great masters.
There are no bullies with whips and knives and sticks at the pier, and there are no talkers of the three major families who cheat and criticize.
It was replaced by the Lingnan Caravan, which is fair trade and friendly.
Liu Huzi was in charge of escorting these cargo ships, and Li Su assigned him two ironclad ships to protect those cargo ships.
This sea trade is the first time for Lingnan Prefecture to conduct sea trade, and Li Su attaches great importance to it.
Originally, he still needed to spend time opening up overseas business routes by himself, but by accident, he actually took over the business of the three masters, which directly saved a lot of time and energy.
Those overseas sales channels were naturally taken into Li Su's pocket without any hesitation.
A mighty sea trade fleet set off from the port of Suzhou Prefecture and headed for Tianzhu.
This trip is far away, but the return will definitely make people happy.
Pan Feng stayed in Suzhou Mansion for another month to handle some finishing work.
After the Suzhou Mansion had completely stabilized, he left all his affairs to Song Kecheng, the magistrate, and hurried back to Beijing.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the evaluation of officials at the end of this year will start soon, and I am still waiting for myself to go back to preside over the work.
The capital, Yanhe Hall.
"Your Majesty, the matter is like this. The minister and the Lingnan Caravan teamed up to eliminate the harm of the matter of banning the three great masters. The greatest credit for this is His Royal Highness King An."
Pan Feng had already sent a memorial to the capital about what happened a month ago.
But at this moment, under the questioning of Emperor Qian, he had to explain all the details of the matter in detail.
"Sure! I didn't expect Lao Liu's Lingnan caravan to be so useful."
Emperor Qian clapped his hands and applauded. Originally, he was well prepared for the Suzhou government to be seriously injured. He did not expect that Lingnan, which is thousands of miles away, would play such a big role in it.
Without Li Xuan in Suzhou Mansion, the tax of Suzhou Mansion will be handed over directly to the imperial court in the future.
The stability of Suzhou Mansion is equivalent to adding another big source of income to the imperial court.
How can Emperor Qian not like it.
"Pan Qing, what do you think of your son-in-law?"
Emperor Qian suddenly came to ask such a question, and Pan Feng was caught off guard.
"His Royal Highness Wang An is young and promising, and he is versatile in both civil and military affairs. Naturally, he is excellent."
Pan Feng didn't know what Emperor Qian meant, so he didn't dare to say more, but only gave an answer that wasn't wrong.
"Hey! Now that I'm thriving, I should be able to sit back and relax, but the successor of this great job has never been found, and it has always been a heart problem for me."
Emperor Qian sighed.
"The princes are all talented, and His Majesty can choose one of them who has both ability and political integrity, and cultivate them."
Pan Feng cupped his hands.
"Although I have many princes, none of them have the appearance of an emperor, so Li Yan didn't mention it. Originally, I wanted to train Li Xuan, but now, hey~
The old Liuzhen once wanted to make him the crown prince, but he refused. Tell me, there are still people in the world who can refuse the crown prince? "
Emperor Qian gritted his teeth.
Pan Feng couldn't help being shocked when he heard Emperor Qian say such a secret.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Qian already wanted King An to be the prince, but King An actually refused!
If this news gets out, I don't know how many people's jaws will be shocked.
No wonder Emperor Qian did not believe that someone said that King An was going to rebel.
It turned out that Wang An, who used to be the emperor, was already at his fingertips, but Emperor Qian didn't give it away, so how could it be believed that he would rebel!
"His Royal Highness King An is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men."
Pan Feng said something innocuous, he didn't dare to talk too deeply about the throne.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know, the sixth child just doesn't want to be restrained!"
Emperor Qian said with an unhappy expression on his face.
"Since he doesn't want the throne, then I won't force him, but he must be tied to this ship!"
Emperor Qian said with a look of wisdom in his hands, his eyes shining brightly.
When Pan Feng left, he was at a loss, not knowing why Emperor Qian had said these words to him inexplicably today.
It is reasonable to say that these words should not be said in private with him as a courtier, which is a taboo.
And what does the last sentence mean? What does it mean that Li Su must be tied to the Dagan ship?No one wants to be a prince, how can you tie him up?
The next day, Emperor Qian said he was ill, and he stopped court for ten days without seeing anyone outside.
The entire court was caught in various speculations, not knowing what Emperor Qian had done.
But according to gossip, Emperor Qian was not in the palace.
As a result, all of a sudden, the censor's official made various memorials, criticizing Emperor Qian for his absurdity, even going out of the palace to have fun privately by claiming to be sick, and ignoring the government.
But in the end they all disappeared without any response.
Only Pan Feng faintly noticed something. What Emperor Qian did should be related to the crown prince.
……
Chapter 150
Lingnan Prefecture.
At this time, in a hidden room in the corner of Lingnan University, two men were talking.
"Master Jia, since I took the throne, I have been conscientious and conscientious. Now that I have worked so hard to get to where I am today, I dare not hand it over to mediocre people.
What Lao Liu has done these years, I and the people in the court have seen it.
He was originally the best candidate for the throne, but he has a lazy temper, so I had no choice but to make this move. "
Emperor Qian said helplessly, in front of Jia Siyan, he lost a little of the majesty of the emperor, and instead looked like an ordinary student complaining to the teacher.
"Since Your Majesty already has a candidate in mind, the veteran is naturally willing to fully support His Majesty's decision.
No matter who His Majesty chooses, His Highness King An cannot escape.
The veteran believed that even if His Royal Highness Wang An was not in that position, he would still lead Dagan to an unimaginable height. "
The gray-haired Jia Siyan spoke.
As early as a few days ago, Emperor Qian quietly boarded the train and came to Lingnan, where he secretly met Jia Siyan who was at Lingnan University.
In the past few days, he had a lot of conversations with Jia Siyan, and got a lot of information he wanted.
Today is the moment for him to make a decision.
After having a deep chat with Jia Siyan, Emperor Qian hurriedly boarded the train again and returned to the capital without disturbing anyone.
He had expected that those censors in the capital might scold him for some reason.
……
Capital.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Isn't it suppressing the Prime Minister? Why did you suddenly order the Right Prime Minister to return to the court to handle government affairs!"
"The Prime Minister on the right is the father of Zhong Minyao, the abandoned concubine. Does this mean that His Majesty wants to use the First Prince again?"
"The power of the sky is unpredictable, we'd better wait and see, don't be implicated."
After Emperor Qian returned to Beijing, he issued a decree, asking the right minister Zhong Jinghe to return to the court.
As soon as this decree came out, all the officials in the court discussed it, and they really didn't know what Emperor Qian meant.
In recent years, as Jia Siyan voluntarily withdrew from the court, Dagan had been acquiescing to gradually weaken the prime minister's power.
The right minister, Zhong Jinghe, claimed to have been ill for many years and ignored the government.
Since Li Yan was abolished, he even closed the door to thank guests, as if he had disappeared.
Just when everyone thought that he would slowly fade out of the court's sight, he was suddenly reactivated.
This incident made many officials of the former abolished princeling party suddenly feel that they saw the dawn again.
All of a sudden, many people were eager to move, making small movements.
The officials who had been dormant also frequently moved around in private, and there were even some people who were campaigning for the deposed prince Li Yan, trying to restore Li Yan's image in the ruling and opposition parties.
Naturally, these things cannot be hidden from Emperor Qian.
After issuing the order to appoint Zhong Jinghe, he asked Zong Qing to strengthen the surveillance of the officials in the capital by the secret guards, and to report any disturbance in time.
The former princelings of the capital are very active, but they seem to have forgotten one thing.
The reason why Li Yan was abolished was immorality, and the common people may not know it, but can they still not be clear about those who abolished the princelings?
The direct reason why Li Yan was deposed was the abuse of the Crown Princess!
It is true that Zhong Jinghe is Li Yan's father-in-law, but he is also Zhong Minyao's father!
Zhong Jinghe only had this daughter in his life, and even Emperor Qian knew that he regarded his daughter as the apple of his eye, otherwise he would not have come to apologize to her in person.
These former princelings actually think that Zhong Jinghe will stand by Li Yan's side after his comeback, it's just wishful thinking!
As a father, he only hated himself for not being able to kill that beast with his own hands!
The officials who called on Zhong Jinghe came one after another, some wanted to show their loyalty, and some wanted to test their words.
Zhong Jinghe didn't make a clear statement, but just kept the official's sentient beings in his heart.
Who is available, who needs to be transferred, and who is determined to go all the way to the dark, he has already made plans.
And what he needs to do now is to calmly cooperate with Emperor Qian's next move.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Pan Feng got very close to Zhong Jinghe through his official duties.
Many people thought that Pan Feng also sensed that Emperor Qian wanted to reuse Li Yan, and wanted to find a backer for herself in a hurry.
After all, in addition to being the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he also has another identity-the father-in-law of King An and Li Su.
Who doesn't know that Li Yan and King An are in the same situation, and when Li Yan regains power in the future, what will happen to King An?
At that time, even his father-in-law will be liquidated. At this time, it is a wise move to fall into the prince's line.
So, for a while, everyone couldn't help but sneer at Pan Feng's behavior in private.
The love of Weng and son-in-law is not worth mentioning in front of the future and destiny, and the dignified officials are not exempt.
However, this also strengthened their guess. Even the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has begun to move closer to Li Yan, so should he be more active?
The entire capital was in turmoil, and even the palace guards who put Li Yan under house arrest became more respectful towards Li Yan.
Emperor Qian looked on coldly, as if acquiescing to their actions, which made them even more unscrupulous.

Chapter 151 Targeting the Japanese Country
Japanese country.
"Why hasn't there been any news from Ichiro Takano?"
In a room full of Han Chinese style, a middle-aged man in a gray kimono asked.
This person is Mori Takuma, the great name of the Japanese country, and the Takano Ichiro he is talking about is the leader of a group of powerful Japanese pirates in the East China Sea who has been cooperating with him.
