After three years of enfeoffment, the waste prince shocked the court boss

As for the money that Emperor Qian asked Concubine Liu to borrow to buy stocks, Emperor Qian also pretended to be deaf and dumb and became a bad debt.

According to the original words of Emperor Qian to Wang Quan: "Husband and wife are one body, why divide yours and mine, right, Wang Quan?"

Wang Quan said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Yanhe Hall.

"Your Majesty, it has been rumored outside the palace recently that His Royal Highness King An is about to rebel."

Zong Qing knelt in front of Emperor Qian and said.

As a secret guard, any unusual disturbance outside the palace must be reported to Emperor Qian in time.

When he got the news, he also felt incredible.

"Oh? The sixth child wants to rebel? What is the basis?"

When Emperor Qian heard this, he was also curious.

He didn't believe that Li Su would rebel. After all, he proposed to make Li Su the crown prince, but Li Su sternly refused.

If Li Su wanted to be emperor, there was absolutely no need to take this step.

Just come and tell him that if you want to be the prince, it's fine. He can't wait to tie Li Su to the big ship Dagan as soon as possible.

Judging from what Li Su has done in the past few years, everything the sixth child does is beneficial to Daqian.

Defeating Tatars, building railways, selling artillery, and retreating from Tubo, one by one, Qiandi saw it all.

If Li Su really had a different heart, he couldn't not feel it.

In Emperor Qian's eyes, the sixth child has nothing wrong with him except for being a bit lecherous.

May I ask, in this world, apart from being free from the temptation of worldly beauty and working hard for the country all day, is there any man who can not be lustful?

No one is perfect, except yourself.

"There are rumors that King An recruited soldiers in Lingnan, and even hooked up with Liu Qi, the remnant navy general of the former dynasty, to train the navy."

Zong Qing told Emperor Qian the news from outside.

He also stated that the dark guards did find out that Li Su recruited people in the name of recruiting sea caravan sailors in Lingnan, and there were a large number of applicants.

That Liu Qi is indeed true, it is said that King An brought him back from Luzon Island.

"Liu Qi? I remember him. I recruited him back then, but I didn't expect him to be accepted by Lao Liu."

Emperor Qian pondered.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to check?"

Zong Qing asked cautiously, it was related to the prince's rebellion, and he didn't know what Emperor Qian was thinking.

"King An and I mentioned the sea caravan, the vast sea is full of dangers, and it is necessary to have a sea armed force.

As for Liu Qi, time has passed and the situation has changed, and even a fleeing general from the former dynasty can't cause any disturbances. It is estimated that King An took a fancy to his sea skills before recruiting him.

You go and check the source of the news about this matter, I want to know who is behind the back of the Tian family. "

Qiandi opened his mouth and said.

Once he accepted that Li Su could not rebel, Emperor Qian naturally found a reasonable excuse for Li Su in his heart.

"Yes."

When Zong Qing heard that Emperor Qian had spoken, he already knew what Emperor Qian was thinking, but he didn't expect that King An would be so trusted in Emperor Qian's heart.

Lingnan.

"Oh? Someone said we were going to rebel?"

Li Su felt a little funny when he heard the news that Nightingale had returned from the capital.

Ever since Changkong deployed Nightingale's power in the capital, Li Su could know the capital's movements at the first time.

"Who is targeting us?"

Li Su pondered, and people who might be his enemies quickly flashed in his mind.

Someone from the former prince?Or is it King Zhao?

"What did the emperor say?"

Li Su still paid more attention to Emperor Qian's opinion on this matter, as for what other people said, Li Su didn't care too much.

"Your Majesty asked the hidden guards to investigate the source of the rumors. He must have trusted His Majesty."

Chang Kong replied.

Li Su was very satisfied with Emperor Qian's attitude, and he would bring him along with him if he had any good deeds.

"It's just right, I'm really sleepy, I'm here to send a pillow, the flintlock has already started to test fire, and it will be successful soon, then the plate armor, Zhuge crossbow and waist knife will not have much use.

The king was thinking about how to make money from the court without being so suspicious, no, the opportunity has come. "

Li Su clapped his hands and spoke.

Capital, Ministry of War.

"What! You said that King An is willing to sell plate armor and Zhuge crossbow to the court? And a waist knife?"

Zhao Jinming, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't believe it, and almost choked himself to death with a sip of water.

"Yes, my lord, the people from Lingnan said that it was King An who proved his innocence and had no intention of rebelling, so he was willing to sell these weapons and armor at the bottom of the box."

"Okay, okay, as long as the imperial court also has the plate armor and weapons of King An of Lingnan, they will naturally not be afraid of King An's rebellion.

His Royal Highness Wang An expressed his ambition with this, which can be regarded as a sincere heart.

At that time, whoever dares to chew their tongues, His Royal Highness An wants to rebel, and the old man will be the first to refuse. "

Zhao Jinming stroked his beard and said, there is nothing more attractive to him than An Wangwei's equipment.

When Wang An brought Wang Wei back to Beijing, he was envious, but everyone knew that how could Wang An use such a big killer.

Therefore, neither Emperor Qian nor the emperors of the court offered to buy it.

Moreover, the imperial treasury was empty at that time, even if Li Su was willing to sell it, they couldn't afford it.

Those equipments are not cheap at first glance.

But now it’s all right. Dagan’s state treasury is no longer what it used to be, and it’s still affordable to spend some money to buy [-] sets of Lingnan equipment.

And in Zhao Jinming's view, the money was brought by Li Su to help the court, which is equivalent to using Li Su's money to buy Li Su's things, which is no different from prostitution.

One word: cool!

……

Chapter 122 Your Majesty Doesn't Take Advantage of Lingnan

Early Dynasty, Chengyun Hall.

"My dear friends, what do you think about the purchase of plate armor weapons in the Lingnan Mansion?"

Emperor Qian sat at the head, and the old god was asking.

When he learned that Li Su was going to sell the equipment at the bottom of the box to the imperial court, Emperor Qian even felt a little guilty.

It must be that Lao Liu heard someone say that he was going to rebel, so he had to donate these equipments to prove his innocence.

Who would a normal person take out these artifacts and sell them?

Check, we must find out who is alienating the royal family.

Emperor Qian decided to give Li Su an explanation, not to let Li Su feel cold.

"The old minister thinks that this is His Royal Highness King An's fistful heart, and his loyalty to Daqian can be seen in the sun and the moon."

Pan Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up and said.

Emperor Qian nodded.

"I suggest buying [-] sets at one time. These equipments are enough to form an absolute suppression of the Tatars in the frontier army. When the time comes to go out and fight the Tatars in the field, the Tatars will definitely be able to come and go."

Zhao Jinming, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, suggested.

The previous frontier army was mainly defensive, and it was really dry soldiers who were not good at horse fighting.

Even with the new artillery purchased from Lingnan Mansion later, due to mobility problems, they dare not rush into the hinterland of the grassland.

"These things must be expensive to build. Is it possible for the treasury to spend so much money?"

Emperor Qian asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the taxes and dividends brought about by the opening of the Jingling Railway at the end of this year should be credited to the account. It is not a big problem to advance a part of the money in advance, and then make up for the taxes and taxes in the second half of the year."

Zheng Shen, Minister of the Household Department, replied.

"Well, let's ask someone to talk to Lingnan Mansion. This matter will be left to... Pan Aiqing will be in charge."

Emperor Qian looked around, skipped over Zhao Jinming, whose eyes were full of hope, and handed over the matter to Pan Feng.

Zhao Jinming had a resentful expression on his face. Even if the purchase of military equipment was not given to him, the Minister of the Ministry of War, he had to be handed over to the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of Industry, right?

How much does it mean to hand it over to the officials?

But he didn't dare to complain, so he could only look at Emperor Qian resentfully, and kept silent.

Emperor Qian gave Pan Feng who stood at the bottom a look that you know, Pan Feng understood, and the tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers completed the exchange in the blink of an eye.

Pan Feng: Rest assured, Your Majesty, I am familiar with this matter!

Pan Feng didn't dare to delay, so he took the train to Lingnan Mansion with his people.

The one who greeted him was Liu Lin. This was proposed by Li Su. Before the contract was completed, it was not suitable for him to meet with Pan Feng, in order to avoid suspicion.

After all, the two still have a son-in-law relationship, so it's better for everyone to pay attention to it.

As early as after the Jingling Railway opened to traffic, Liu Lin was transferred back to Lingnan by Li Su to be in charge of the business here.

Anyway, with the train, it's only three or four days away, even if there is something in the capital that needs him to deal with, he can go back in time.

"Master Pan, my Highness said that these equipments will be given to the imperial court at the most favorable price. A set of equipment includes a plate armor, a fine steel waist knife, and a Zhuge crossbow. In addition, we will give each set a hundred crossbow arrows. , a total of 100 taels of silver."

Liu Lin said.

"100 taels of silver?"

Pan Feng stroked his beard and thought about it.

The heavy armor made by Dagan costs only 300 taels of silver a set, and it takes a year to manufacture a set.

The price given by Lingnan is completely indistinguishable from free gift!And it still includes the waist knife and Zhuge crossbow.

Pan Feng felt that Li Su must have suffered a loss in this deal.

In all likelihood, Li Su had no choice but to do so because of rumors in the capital that he was going to rebel.

"Hey! I really wronged King An."

Pan Feng couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart.

Seeing Pan Feng's tangled expression there, Liu Lin thought that his quotation was too high.

This price is quoted at twice the cost price. As a product of hydraulic punching machines, in fact, the manufacture of these things is no more than the production of kitchen knives and iron pots in Lingnan Prefecture.

In fact, the iron workshops in Lingnan Prefecture have already started selling kitchen knives made of fine steel.

"Well, Master Pan, this price is actually acceptable..."

Just when Liu Lin wanted to take the initiative to lower the price, fearing that the business would fail, Pan Feng slapped his thigh and said:

"How can such a good thing be sold so cheap! His Highness Wang An doesn't have to worry about those groundless rumors about the capital. His Majesty said that the price must be reasonable! It must be reasonable!"

Pan Feng said to Liu Lin, as if the imperial court absolutely did not want to take advantage of Lingnan, he emphasized the word "reasonable".

"Ah? This, that... Mr. Pan thinks 120 taels is good? We in Lingnan still only take 100 taels, and the extra 20 taels will be used as tribute to His Majesty."

Liu Lin asked cautiously, and he knew everything about it. Emperor Qian had played this trick when Jingling Railway was offering shares and selling artillery.

"Let's offer 150 taels. Your Majesty will not take advantage of Lingnan. Lingnan will take 120 taels. Now the court is not short of money."

Pan Feng gave a number.

"Ah? Then follow what your lord said."
