Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Pei Linzhi snorted coldly: "Since your lord can convince the governors of the two states of Guangjiao, why doesn't he proclaim himself emperor, but drags our lord into the water?"

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Songquan's forehead, and he kowtowed on the ground: "Returning to the young master, my prince has never thought of being emperor, he knows that he has no such qualifications, and the prince respects His Royal Highness the most in his heart, and has mentioned it to the villain more than once. The late emperor was unfair to His Highness the crown prince and the general. The prince said, if not, if the late emperor was not confused, how could he be a fool like Xiao Yi who is sitting on the throne now, and how could Liangzhou be lost."

"Hmph, he dared to say it." Pei Linzhi said.

Liu Songquan said cautiously: "The prince has never had the heart to call himself emperor. But His Royal Highness is different. Many veterans in the court complained deeply about the general. His Royal Highness has a kind heart and won the hearts of the people. He is the best successor." Now the puppet emperor is cruel and stupid, ceding the land and paying compensation, making the people miserable, and the people have already complained. The crown prince stepped forward at this time, and it is justified. The two governors of Guangjiao will definitely judge the situation."

Xiao Yu looked at Liu Songquan and said, "It seems that you are also King Liang's counselor."

Liu Songquan lowered his head: "I don't dare to trust you, but I just stayed by the prince's side since I was a child, so I have more trust from the prince."

Xiao Yu said: "The matter is very important, I need to think carefully, you get up and go to rest first."

Liu Songquan got up, Pei Linzhi went out with him, and called Qingyou to arrange someone to stay.

Turning back to the study, seeing Xiao Yu looking down at the bloody letter, Pei Rinzhi walked over and knelt down opposite him: "Mr. Lang, the arrow is on the string, so I have to send it."

Xiao Yu raised his eyes to look at him: "What do you think of King Liang?"

Pei Linzhi pondered for a moment: "Liang Wang is Congmin, but his temper is impatient, he can't hold his breath, and he is not a big event."

"How sincere do you think he is in doing this?" Xiao Yu was not so naive that King Liang really convinced him.

Pei Linzhi shook his head: "It's hard to say whether it's true or not. At least for now, he needs to use Mr. Lang to pull up the banner of proclaiming the emperor. His name is not right, and Mr. Lang just has this advantage over him. As for what he plans to do after that, no one knows."

"Do you think he can really convince the governor of Canton?"

Pei Rinzhi said: "I'm sure I can lobby in your name. Besides, he still has 1000 people. There must be many capable people around him. If Wen's work doesn't work, he might come to Wu. "

Xiao Yu pondered for a while: "Then do you think I should agree?"

Pei Linzhi said: "Your Majesty, there are actually not many paths to choose from. King Liang also took a fancy to this, so he sent someone to lobby. In my opinion, a decision must be made as soon as possible, otherwise once the imperial edict arrives in Guangzhou With Jiaozhou, we have lost the opportunity and must fight each other."

Xiao Yu nodded: "I understand." But the expression on his face was extremely lonely.

Pei Linzhi asked with concern: "Mr. Lang, do you think it's too fast?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "It's different from what I expected, and the plan hasn't changed quickly. I don't really want to use the governor of Canton to become emperor."

Pei Linzhi asked unexpectedly, "Why?"

Xiao Yu said: "These governors are all from aristocratic families, and each of them represents a huge old family power, which is too deeply intertwined. In the future, if things really come true, they will be the heroes. If I want to implement a new policy from top to bottom The reform will inevitably affect their interests, and the reform will be very difficult."

There have been countless political reforms in Chinese history, but very few of them were successful, because the reforms would harm the old interest groups, and he didn't want to lay a minefield for himself so early.

Pei Linzhi was surprised that he saw such a long-term perspective.This is indeed a big problem. From ancient times to the present, reforms have always touched the interests of the old aristocrats. Qin relied on the famous Shang Yang’s reforms to finally unify the world, but Shang Yang’s was still torn apart. The resistance of the old interest groups was too great.

"Lang Jun's worry is not unreasonable, but we are running out of time." Pei Linzhi frowned, "It would be great if General Min was here at this time."

Xiao Yu was a little surprised that he would take the initiative to mention Min Chong: "If you count the time, it's almost time to come back."

It's almost October now, and Min Chong has been away for more than half a year, but he hasn't come back yet.This time there are more goods than last time, and the barter time will be longer.But the later you come back, the more difficult the voyage will be. Once winter enters, the return journey will be against the wind.

Pei Linzhi said: "If General Min is here, let him be stationed in Yazhou, and I can lead the troops to the east, attack Liang Wang from north to south, and attack Panyu by surprise. As long as we capture Guangzhou, we will be able to gain a firm foothold on land. If the governor of Guangzhou does not Surrender, it would not be a pity to kill him, if he can surrender, he will be recruited, and a surrendered general probably won't have much money to take credit for in the future."

Xiao Yu knew that he wanted to clear the obstacles for the future, he shook his head: "This plan is not feasible. Yazhou is too close to Jiaozhou, and Jiaozhou has more troops than Guangzhou. Once Guangzhou asks for help, they will come to Yazhou faster than Guangzhou and return to Yazhou. Much. We can't lose Yazhou."

This is the foundation he has worked so hard to save, how could he just give it up like this, not to mention anything else, even the mine veins of Guanglonghu Mountain must never be given up.Moreover, they only have a few thousand troops, and more than half of them are recruits. It is too small to take such a risk to attack Guangzhou City.

Pei Linzhi said: "Then we can only use Liang Wang's plan."

Xiao Yu sighed, "I can only take one step at a time. I hope everything goes well for Min Chong."

Pei Linzhi comforted him: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, they will definitely be able to return safely."

Xiao Yu said: "Go and inform Yao Tao and Lai Feng to come, and we will discuss this matter in detail."

"Okay." Pei Linzhi got up and went out.

Xiao Yu sighed again, King Liang's suggestion was to proclaim the emperor directly, but he only wanted to be the king first, and then gradually grow up.But no matter if he proclaims himself king or emperor, Xiao Yi will not tolerate his existence. To live by himself is a threat to him.

He could foresee that once he became king, Xiao Yi would inevitably provoke a frenzied counterattack.

But at this time, except for the troops in the two states of Guangzhou and Jiaozhou, Xiao Yi couldn't draw other troops, because there were uprisings everywhere, so he still had a lot of vitality.

After Yao Tao received the news, he hurried to Xiao's mansion, and before he got out of the carriage, a fast horse stopped beside his carriage.The person on the horse said "Woo--", it was the voice of a young man, and before the horse stopped, the vigorous young man jumped off the horse, and rushed in without tying the horse.

Seeing him, the concierge asked in surprise, "Sigui, why are you here?"

Sigui smiled brightly: "Where is your lord? The boat is back, haha!"

The concierge was also overjoyed: "Really? Then hurry up and tell Mr. Lang, Mr. Lang is in the study."

Sigui said, "By the way, my horse is not tied, so you tie it up for me first."

"Okay." The porter came out to tie the horse and saw Yao Tao, "Master Yao, my lord is waiting for you in the study."

Yao Tao asked, "What ship is coming back?"

The concierge said, "It's the merchant ship that General Min went out to sea and returned."

"So that's how it is." Yao Tao suddenly realized that Min Chong had been at sea for more than half a year, no wonder they were so impatient, it seemed that today's matter could not be discussed.

As expected, as soon as he entered the front yard, he saw Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi coming out in a hurry.

Before Yao Tao opened his mouth, he heard Xiao Yu say: "Lord Yao, I came to you today to discuss some important matters. However, General Min is back, and he is also needed for consultation at this time, so the discussion will be postponed and sent tomorrow. The car will pick you up. I am really sorry to trouble my lord to make this trip.”

Yao Tao smiled and said, "It's up to Lang Jun to arrange, Lang Jun has to go to work first."

Xiao Yu couldn't wait to get on the carriage, so he got on Pei Linzhi's horse, and A Ping was placed between the two of them.The little guy was very excited to ride a horse for the first time.

Lai Feng, Xiang Yang and Guan Shan also got on their horses.

There were only four horses in the family, so Ji Hai and Ju Yan had to get on Meng Sigui's horse, and the three brothers and sisters rode the same horse.

Xiaochun and Yu'er watched helplessly on the ground, they also wanted to go back, Xiao Yu turned around and said: "You stay at home to take care of the house and go back tomorrow."

Several people beat their horses and ran out of the city.

Sigui immediately said proudly: "I was the first to spot the boat coming back. At that time, my father and I were releasing pearl shells, and suddenly saw a few black spots appearing on the sea surface. I told my father that it couldn't be Min. The master is back. I didn’t expect it to be true, I am too familiar with our big ship. So we hurried ashore, and my father asked me to ride a horse to report to Mr. Lang.”

"You went home with great difficulty, and you came back by boat. You are so lucky." Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Isn't it?" Meng Sigui chuckled.

He studied in the medical center for two years, and Doctor Ye said that there was almost nothing to teach him.However, Xiao Yu did not agree with him becoming a teacher and asked him to learn how to see a doctor with Doctor Ye for two more years.After all, doctors are an empirical subject, the more patients they contact, the more symptoms they see, and the more experience they accumulate.

The horse ran fast, and while talking, the horse arrived at Baisha Village, and they rode their horses directly to the beach. The boat had already moored, and many crew members had already landed, and the villagers also gathered on the beach to welcome them, all of them happily cheering. , more lively than the festival.

When everyone saw Xiao Yu coming back, they all greeted warmly: "Lang Jun! (Xiao Langjun)"

Xiao Yu was still on the horse, and he had already seen Min Chong and Dou Qiye: "Teng Yun, Qiye!"

Min Chong turned his head, saw Xiao Yu, and hurried over.

Lai Feng caught A Ping, and Xiang Yang stretched out his hand to help Xiao Yu, but Pei Linzhi jumped off the horse after A Ping was carried off, and stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu didn't care about these small details, and hurriedly asked: "How is the situation?"

Min Chong glanced at him, hesitated to speak, Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat: something happened?

Min Chong picked it up and said: "The goods have been sold out, and a lot of gold, silver and jewelry have been exchanged, and I still collected a lot of crop seeds and saplings for my husband."

"That's good." Xiao Yu said, since Min Chong didn't say anything about the situation, there must have been an accident.

Min Chong walked out of the crowd, Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi followed, and Min Chong said: "When we went to Champo, there was a conflict with the local aborigines. Two brothers were killed and several others were injured. Three of them were seriously injured. So I went to a local local doctor in a fishing port in Siam for treatment. I planned to pick them up on the return trip, but after the return trip, we couldn’t find the fishing port. I plan to look for them next time.”

Xiao Yu felt cold in his heart: "Who are all the dead?"

Min Chong said: "It's my original brother. It's all my fault that I have not been strict with my subordinates, and I have involved so many brothers."

Xiao Yu sighed: "These accidents are inevitable. Who are the people who are treating diseases in Siam?"

Min Chong said: "One is from our village, and the other two are servants bought by Mr. Lang."

Xiao Yu sighed heavily: "I hope they are all out of danger, and we must look for them when we go next time." The caravan can't do without a doctor.

Pei Linzhi said: "Why do I dock here, I thought I would go to the harbor."

Min Chong said: "The warehouse is in the village, so it is unloaded directly here. Besides, most of them will be traded to the north and will not be unloaded. During the time I am away, is there any change in the court?"

Pei Linzhi said: "I was waiting for you to come back, something serious happened."
