In the eyes of ignorant people, Li Yue, the remnant of Li Tang, is naturally irreconcilable with the new dynasty, but in fact, even if the blood relationship is not considered, the current Li Yue is no longer a character that can be manipulated by others. In Ryukyu and Minyue, there are countless people who are willing to follow Li Yue. If something happened to Li Yue, Minyue would really rebel. After all, Minyue doesn't know how many people pointed at Li Yue for dinner. What kind of hard life is lived on the mountain? Except for the leaders of the various tribes, the life is still passable. Insects, beasts, and various diseases, until Li Yue arrived in Minyue, these people lived a normal life.If they really cut off their hope, then, these people can do anything.What's more, Li Yue's children didn't come with them either. If something happened to Li Yue and his wife in Luoyang, they would definitely not let it go.

Under such circumstances, it can be said that there is no one safer than Li Yue and his wife in Luoyang. Not only can Empress Wu not do anything to them, but she has to ensure their safety.

Therefore, Li Yue and Yang Yao entered the palace very calmly.Perhaps power is the best panacea for Empress Wu. Although she is already an old man in sixties, Empress Wu does not look old, but she is radiant. She looks like a lady in her 30s.

Not long after Li Zhi passed away, Empress Wu raised a noodle head by her side. It was found by the Wu family. He was originally a local rascal named Feng Xiaobao, but later changed his name to Xue Huaiyi. Not to mention, the Vientiane Shrine was built by Xue Huaiyi, which shows that this man can be regarded as a wild architect.

Like now, Xue Huaiyi actually appeared openly in the Ziwei Palace, as if he regarded himself as the master of the house.Although Empress Wu used to have a strong personality, she still bowed her head in Li Zhi's place, but in Xue Huaiyi's place, Empress Wu was really superior. How should I put it, Empress Wu is now like a man in a patriarchal society , In the relationship between the sexes, I also put myself in an active and superior position, and I am happy with it.

I heard about Xue Huaiyi before Taiping. At that time, Xue Huaiyi was not so arrogant. He was ordained as a monk and entered and left the palace in the name of a mage. Now, Xue Huaiyi doesn't even look like a monk. Taiping was a little awkward, and even felt a little ashamed in front of Li Yue and his wife.

However, Li Yue didn't take it seriously. After all, Empress Wu's husband had passed away. No matter what her status was, she was still single. In this case, it was no big deal for her to find another man.What's more, just like Li Yue's thoughts on Mingzhu, if Mingzhu really became king overseas, she might have to serve three husbands and four servants.Of course, the only disadvantage of being a woman is actually having children, but at Empress Wu's age, she doesn't have to worry about this.

Therefore, although Xue Huaiyi looked like he was one of the masters of the palace, Li Yue was calm and calm, putting on an air of habit.On the contrary, Xue Huaiyi, who was still somewhat lacking in confidence deep down in his heart, suddenly felt a little more relaxed.

Although Yang Yao felt a little uncomfortable, but seeing Li Yue's indifferent appearance, she also forced herself to calm down. After saluting to Empress Wu, she sat down next to each other.

Empress Wu took a look at Taiping and found that Taiping's face was ruddy. Although there was still a little gloomy look in his brows and eyes, his mental state had recovered, and he was even more mature than before. Empress Wu actually felt a little relieved.She always felt that Taiping was spoiled by herself and Li Zhi. Even after she got married and had children, she still looked like a child in many cases, but now she has a serious appearance.

She felt a little relieved, and then said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years. It seems that Shiwulang and your husband and wife are still in love, which makes me very happy!" It is not an exaggeration for me to call myself, almost shortly after Li Dan ascended the throne, in public, Empress Wu had already started to call herself "I".

Li Yue said with a smile: "A Yaohui is kind-hearted, meeting her is my luck!"

Empress Wu nodded. In fact, she was not very satisfied with the marriages of her children. Some were dissatisfied with each other's identities, and some were dissatisfied with each other's wisdom and disposition. However, Empress Wu was also one of the facilitators of Li Yue's marriage.Yang Yao came from her mother's family, and Empress Wu always felt that Yang Yao was her own. Of course, it's hard to say whether Yang Yao thinks so!

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Empress Wu asked, "I heard Mingzhu is doing well in Ryukyu now?"

Li Yue nodded and said: "Isn't that right, her younger brother has been thinking about competing with her all day long, and originally planned to bring them to God's Capital to see them, but in the end, both of them were very excited, and neither of them would back down. Half a step, what can we parents do, after all, they are actually adults now!"

Empress Wu couldn't help laughing, and she went on to say: "The child came to Luoyang secretly before, and did such a good thing, which surprised me too. This girl has quite a bit of my temper!"

Yang Yao hurriedly said: "The queen mother is too famous, she is just a tomboy, and her temper is very impulsive. If she gets into the head for a while, she will be a little scared when she goes back!"

Empress Wu glanced at Yang Yao, shook her head, and said: "I don't blame her, in fact, many men can't do things like her, without her courage, what's wrong with that?"

Li Yue interjected: "The queen mother is right, but you can't say this in front of that girl. If you praise her a little more, you will soon get carried away and your tail will go up to the sky. If you really don't care about anything, you don't know yet. What disaster is going to happen!"

Taiping wanted to help Mingzhu defend herself, but she was thinking about what to say, and she was afraid that she would be the one who would be reprimanded by Empress Wu in a while, so she immediately bowed her head obediently and didn't say much.

Xue Huaiyi listened to it inexplicably. Empress Wu has been keeping the past secret. Even now, many people really think that Taiping was ordered by Empress Wu to visit Minyue!Although Empress Wu said that she doted on Xue Huaiyi, in her view, Xue Huaiyi was a male favorite, a toy, and not someone who could really stand side by side with her. Therefore, Empress Wu would not let Xue Huaiyi know about many things.

Seeing that Li Yue was there to protect the calf, Empress Wu didn't blame her. It's been such a long time, and Empress Wu was unbelievably magnanimous in some matters, like King Luo Bin, who almost sprayed Empress Wu bloody However, after Li Jingye failed and was killed, King Luo Bin disappeared. Anyway, this person was not buried with Li Jingye. In all likelihood, he went to hide somewhere under his name, but Empress Wu did not pursue it, and even said that if he was willing to Abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, Empress Wu will definitely ignore the past and reuse it.Even if this is the case for outsiders, Empress Wu is naturally more tolerant of Mingzhu, a junior who admires her so much. She smiled and said: "Mingzhu is still young, and she should be a little bit more energetic. Speaking of which, the last time I saw her, she was still a little girl. As for the girl, I didn't expect that after so many years, the little girl has great ambitions!"

No matter how capable the girls were, parents would not treat their daughters as equals to their sons, but Li Yue's approach made Empress Wu very appreciative. Of course, Mingzhu lived up to this equal treatment, which made Empress Wu even more happy.

"How is the immigration situation in Ryukyu now?" Empress Wu quickly changed the subject.

Li Yue half-truthfully explained the situation, and then said: "After all, Ryukyu is narrow and thin, not richer than the Central Plains. Fortunately, it is closer to the Central Plains, and there will be more contacts in the future. Waiting for our husband and wife to go there in the future." For Ryukyu, we have to hope that the officials on Minyue’s side will be effective, otherwise, it will inevitably affect the economy of Ryukyu.”

Empress Wu nodded and said, "After so many years, no one knows Minyue better than you. Looking back, Minyue will send another official there. Shiwulang, you should screen and recommend it first!"

This is actually a ready-made saying. After all, Li Yue is really not familiar with these officials in the court today. Most of the people he knew before are no longer here. All about the same.

In fact, Ryukyu does not depend much on the Central Plains. Although Yizhou is not a big place, it still has the resources it should have. Not to mention there is Mingzhou, and there will be more places in the future. It can be said that there will be more places in the future. It is domestic demand, which is enough to digest most of Ryukyu's commodities. Therefore, for a long time, Ryukyu does not need to rely much on the Central Plains market.Of course, this market cannot be given up casually. In many cases, once this market is given up, it will be immediately occupied by other peers, and it will not be easy to get it back in the future.Therefore, even though the situation is complicated now, Li Yue is still doing sea business in Jiaozhou and even Anton. With enough quantity, that too will become a big business.

Li Yue understood the current situation quite well, so he thanked Empress Wu honestly, and then told Empress Wu about the scenery of Yizhou in Ryukyu and the local specialties.

Empress Wu listened very carefully, and Minyue would soon be truly in his hands. Under such circumstances, it is still more important to know what is going on in the nearby Ryukyu.Treating Ryukyu is not the same as treating other small vassal countries. The rulers of those small countries are all foreign surnames, so the court has always treated them indifferently, but Li Yue is different. This guy belongs to the Li Tang clan, that is to say , this person also has a certain responsibility and obligation for the Li family's country. If Li Yue is really annoyed, this person can carry out high-intensity operations on the increasingly prosperous maritime trade in the Central Plains just through the fleet he owns. With the high frequency of strikes, I am afraid that the fleet of the Central Plains will not be able to reach the port by then.Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will never end in a hundred battles, so Empress Wu really wanted to be prepared for when Li Yue would turn his back on her.

Li Yue actually didn't think about it so much. When her own strength is insufficient, it is not a shameful thing to bow her head and confess. Li Yue is now focused on exploring overseas and developing the economy. In fact, she doesn't want to have any conflicts with Empress Wu. After a while, a consensus was reached, and the words became more speculative.
