What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

Li Xian is a smart man, he searched the map for a long time, and found that now it is possible for him to become a place where he also became a king of Jianya, that is, Tiannan, which is now being tossed hard by Minyue, and he wants to take it There, it doesn't cost much.But he also understood that it would be impossible to expect the imperial court to lay down a piece of territory and give it to him. However, he felt that there should be other ways, and he quickly thought of Li Yue.As a nearly independent vassal state, Minyue can mobilize a lot of power, and it is adjacent to Tiannan, so it is not particularly difficult for Minyue to win there.Of course, it is definitely not acceptable to ask Minyue to send troops for no reason. Even if he sends troops, Li Yue may not be willing to make a wedding dress for someone, so he has to give the other party enough benefits.

Li Xian didn't even think about taking the position of prince at the moment. Although someone secretly urged him to do so, the relationship between Li Xian and Li Hong was still very good. Besides, the main reason was that Li Xian felt that he was living under the influence of his parents. He was a little suffocated in the shadows.

Naturally, Li Xian was naive and felt that the emperor and empress were harmonious, and that their children were the product of their parents' love.However, after Wu Shun's death, Li Xian's previous concept was broken.

What kind of love is nothing more than a deliberate seduction, a desire for sex.The reason why the parents have become the current supreme couple is nothing more than that they have the same position and the same interests, and the mother can not only be a good wife, but also a real assistant to the father.

Li Zhi is a typical emperor. He does things that require fame by himself, and usually entrusts others to do things that will affect his reputation. He is still a benevolent and wise monarch.To put it bluntly, Empress Wu is his black glove, but this black glove is more precious, essentially not much different from people like Changsun Wuji, Li Yifu, and Xu Jingzong back then.

What Empress Wu needs is power, so she can be said to hit it off with Li Zhi.Empress Wu didn't pay much attention to her reputation. As a concubine of the former emperor, she became the queen of today, and she couldn't do anything to create the persona of a virtuous empress through the ages. Instead, why bother?Therefore, Empress Wu is happy to leave a bad impression on others, if you dare to treat me like that, then don't blame me for being rude to you.

Ever since there were rumors that he was not born to Empress Wu, Li Xian was also suspicious for a while, and he was not born with it, how could he know who his own mother was. Of course, after Li Hong came to apologize to him, he also No more doubts, but I just found out that my parents didn't mean to explain to me, so it's inevitable that I have some thoughts in my heart.Therefore, Li Xian began to observe and think more carefully.

There are many things that cannot withstand careful consideration, especially for smart people like Li Xian who are good at making up brains, so naturally the more you think about it, the more frightened you become.

In fact, Empress Wu has limited feelings for her sons, which is actually the case these days. When the children were young, they were taken by their wet nurses, and when they were older, they had to move out. The mind is full of government affairs and power. If there are only one or two sons, then Empress Wu must still care about it. After all, a queen with sons is very different from a queen without sons, but now only sons are four or five. Well, Li Hong's status is also very stable, so Empress Wu naturally doesn't care so much!Since there are enough spare tires, if one fails, just change it!

Many people feel that they are irreplaceable when they are young, especially for a nobleman like Li Xian, but when he realizes that even with his parents, he is not irreplaceable, he immediately fades away.After knowing what happened to He Lan Minyue, Li Xian immediately thought of Empress Wu.You must know that He Lan Minyue and them actually grew up together. When Li Xian's young boy's heart was aroused, he thought about marrying He Lan Minyue as his wife.In fact, before Princess Taiping was born, He Lan Minyue was definitely the most favored girl in the palace. Empress Wu treated He Lan Minyue better than her sons, almost giving whatever she wanted, all kinds of things. As long as He Lan Minyue wants new things, he can get them. Every year, he can hold several boxes of all kinds of jewelry made for her. You don't want to wear fine pearls after wearing them once or twice. As for the pearls on them, you don't want them either!

When He Lan Minyue first entered the palace, Empress Wu was still very kind to her, but after He Lan Minyue became pregnant, although Empress Wu said that she still did not treat He Lan Minyue badly, the special treatment was gone, and when He Lan Minyue had no children, Li Xiancai knew how ruthless Empress Wu was.When He Lan Minyue completely fell out of favor, her treatment in the palace would be better than those of the lowest-ranked maidservants.He Lan Minyue is already disheartened now, and she doesn't know when she will wake up. Men are unreliable. After your appearance is no longer, you used to be eccentric, but now you think about it as unruly and willful. Uncle, that's love, but now, it's greed for wealth and honor.In short, when I love you, it is red roses and white moonlight, but when I don't love you, it is mosquito blood and white rice grains.It was too easy for Li Zhi to get Helan Minyue. In a sense, Helan Minyue was not as good as Wushun. At least he had the pleasure of having an affair with Wushun.

Li Xian didn't have much in-depth understanding of the relationship between men and women, but he knew that his parents were so cruel and ruthless, so he really didn't dare to gamble on his status in the hearts of his parents.

Moreover, Li Hong, the prince, has not had much fun in these years. He can't decide anything. Li Hong has a relatively gentle temper. He can bear this, but Li Xian feels that he can't bear it.What's the point of trying to govern in his position, since he is a prince, but can only be a clay puppet? Constrained by rules and regulations.

The arrival of Li Xian naturally surprised Li Yue. Although Li Yue didn't know how long Li Hong could be the prince, he remembered that Empress Wu's son had either been a prince or an emperor, so Li Xian must have been a prince too. However, looking at Li Xian's appearance, he actually avoids this position in fear, and even wants to run far away.

Li Yue inevitably has some conspiracy theories. It is said that Shen Sheng died inside, and Chong Er was safe outside. Could it be that Li Xian wants to take a curved path to save the country, and is not afraid that the next two younger brothers will be close to the water?

However, he is not very familiar with Li Xian after all, so naturally he would not say anything simple and deep, so he just asked: "I understand what His Royal Highness Lu Wang means, and I will not mention the cooperation for the time being. Let me ask you, do the two saints know about His Highness's thoughts?"

Li Xian froze immediately, but he quickly gritted his teeth and said firmly: "As long as Uncle Wang is willing to help and an agreement can be reached, I can go back and convince my father and queen mother!"

In any case, with Li Xian's awareness, Li Yue thinks that this matter can still be manipulated. He wants the population in Tiannan. As for the land, he doesn't want it. He just keeps it clean. Tiannan is for Li Xian, Li Xian, he wants to develop there, so go find a way to immigrate by yourself!

After Li Yue had an idea in his mind, he asked, "Since His Royal Highness King Lu has chosen Tiannan, does His Highness have any plans for the development of Tiannan?"

Li Xian had obviously done some preparation work, so he said at this moment: "Even if my nephew has passed by in places with dense forests, I don't have the energy to deal with it for the time being, but near the Erhai Lake, there are many people. There are few places suitable for farming, so my nephew plans to gradually develop around the Erhai Lake, and over time, it will naturally turn it into a paradise!"

Li Xian said very optimistically. After all, he has never been there and does not know the specific situation there, but Li Yue will not discourage his enthusiasm, so he clapped his hands and smiled: "Since Your Highness already has an idea, let's Let's talk about terms!"

Li Xian took a deep breath, and then said: "Please tell Uncle Wang!"

Li Yue said: "The population of Fujian and Yue is actually not large, and they have not maintained much military strength, and Tiannan is actually not easy to fight. , There are also tribes that domesticate elephants as elephant soldiers, and the idle army has no advantage against these elephant soldiers!"

When Li Yue said this, Li Xian immediately hesitated. He really didn't expect that Liuzhao, who was forced to go to Chang'an to ask for help before, would be so difficult. He inevitably showed some disbelief.

Seeing Li Xian's expression, Li Yue smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't know something. The Six Edicts before are actually fighting each other. Everyone knows each other's situation. They themselves Fighting back and forth at home is, in a sense, a rivalry between brothers. After all, the tribes on Tiannan are considered descendants of Jiuli, and they still have a strong sense of identity with each other. However, if Datang wants to occupy There, the situation is different, even if it is the Mengshe Zhao, they will not be happy to see it succeed, they will only join forces to fight against the Tang Dynasty, and by that time, the strength they can gather will be very impressive! It takes a lot of time to cut the flesh with a soft knife, I think, Your Highness, you probably can't afford to wait!"

After Li Xian heard this, he couldn't help being silent. That's right, just relying on those businessmen to encourage them to kill each other and traffic people. It is almost impossible to buy a large number of people like before, and the top is watching.Therefore, if you want to weaken Liuzhao at such a relatively mild price, you really don't know how much time it will take. How can Li Xian have so much time to wait, so he simply said: "What does Uncle Wang want?" , even if I say, as long as my nephew can do it, my nephew will naturally do it!"

Li Yue smiled happily, and said: "Your Highness is a cheerful person, so I'll make it clear! To conquer Tiannan, the price Minyue needs to pay is not as simple as His Highness imagined, so there is still a follow-up to the military expenditure." His Highness has to pay all the pension expenses, what does His Highness think?"

"Ah?" Li Xian stuttered suddenly, "This, this, Wang, Uncle Wang, my nephew really doesn't have much money!" At this point, Li Xian's face became bitter, and he sighed: "Don't look at my nephew. My son was named King Lu early on, and he also has a fief, but there is not much income every year, and there are a lot of places to spend money. Qian, the nephew might as well ask the court to send troops, how is this possible?"

Li Yue said with a smile: "Well, your highness can't afford it at the beginning, but it doesn't mean you can't afford it all the time! If your highness is sure that he can guard Tiannan, start a government and build teeth, then this fee can be paid in installments later!"

Li Xian blinked: "How about the installment payment method?"

Li Yue said: "That is, His Highness pays a deposit first, and then waits until His Highness is firmly seated on the throne of Tiannan, and then pays back part of it every year. Of course, Your Highness has to take the land and taxes on Tiannan as collateral, or else you will turn around. Repudiation, we are all a family, can I still call the door to ask for debts? In fact, there are still a lot of valuable things in Tiannan, the simplest thing is population! Minyue is really short of people. Otherwise, those merchants would not have done those things before, so after His Royal Highness took Tiannan, he could use the population of Tiannan to pay off the debt. In addition, there are also some special medicinal materials there, and even elephants and the like, If His Highness can catch it, that's fine. In addition, Tiannan will definitely immigrate from the Central Plains in the future. At that time, he can plant some things that Minyue needs, and Minyue will buy them according to the market price! I will look for them later. Please come up with a price, Your Highness can take a look!"

Li Xian obviously didn't know anything about economics, and didn't realize at all that once the agreement was signed, he would have to work for Li Yue for at least ten or twenty years. He calculated it and thought it was feasible.Among other things, it is not easy to educate those barbarians. Instead of running around to suppress them, or spending a lot of money to buy them, it is better to package them and sell them to Li Yue. Knowing the population of Tiannan, if you sell those barbarians, you won't owe much debt, so Li Xian simply nodded and said, "That's as Uncle Wang said!"

Li Yue looked at Li Xian as if he was looking at a triumphant son who fell from the sky. Such a deceitful person is rare now, so he said directly: "Then I will wait for the good news from His Highness! If the two sages have the right words, then let's discuss the matter of sending troops, and when the time comes, Tiannan must be taken down by His Highness!"

Li Xian was also a little emotional after being told. He barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, stood up and said: "Then please trouble Uncle Wang, I will go back and ask my father and queen for permission! Uncle Wang just wait for my good news. !” With that said, Li Xian said goodbye directly, and left in a hurry.
