What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

In the first year of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, it was natural that all the vassal states would go to celebrate, but Li Yue had no intention of going back at all.He prepared a large number of gifts, some of which were for Wu Zetian's burial, and the other part was a congratulatory gift for the new empress Taiping. Then he made a statement stating that he was old and frail, so he entrusted his wife and Prince Li Xi, In addition, the Pearl of the Queen of Jinzhou, which Wu Zetian canonized before, went to congratulate, so I didn't go there in person.

Yang Yao doesn't know what Li Yue's thoughts are, but if Li Yue doesn't want to go, then don't go!After so many years of husband and wife, Yang Yao also has a certain understanding of Li Yue. He seems to be a gentle person who seems to have no edges and corners. In fact, he has his own bottom line. In his heart, there are always some things that will not let Others know.Yang Yao is not an inquisitive person. No matter who she is, it is difficult to be completely transparent to the people around her. Everyone has a corner of their own. Therefore, if Li Yue is not willing to go to the Central Plains, Yang Yao will naturally not insist. advise.She needs to go back. Her parents passed away a few years ago, but she didn't have time to go back to attend the funeral. This time, she just intends to pay homage to her. In addition, if her nephew also wants to come overseas, she can come together bring it here.

Compared with Li Zhi, Wu Zetian was still able to keep a secret. She didn't tell Taiping about Li Yue's identity. Naturally, Taiping didn't doubt that Yang Yao brought back the news that Li Yue was too old to withstand long distances. Running around, this is also a very normal thing. After all, Li Yue is a full ten years older than her, and the men in the Li family don't live long. She also stayed in Minyue before. Although the climate is warm there, it is also very humid. Living there, it is inevitable to be troubled by rheumatism.As for Yang Yao being fine, that's easier to understand. Having seen the longevity of his grandmother and mother, it is only natural for Taiping that women in the Yang family are in good health and live a long life.

However, it is Mingzhu who Taiping wants to communicate with more. The two have always been almost equal in status. Mingzhu also became a princess early on, and now she is also the queen of a country. Although she is half a rank lower than Taiping in name, but, In Jinzhou, Mingzhu can be said to be the same, but Taiping still lacks prestige after all.

Although they are all empresses, Taiping is still lacking compared to Wu Zetian. Her core team is too small. For this reason, she has to tolerate the Wu family's check and balance in the court. After Xue Shao regained his identity, As the emperor's husband, he had to temporarily resign from the military position. The younger generation of the Xue family is still in the army, but after all, they lack qualifications.

Fortunately, she restored Li Tang and changed the surnames of several children to Li, which also made a group of diehards hold their noses and recognize them. Even those who want to make troubles can't find suitable candidates now. The nearby branches are either dead, or they are too far away, like Li Dan and Li Xian, who say they are vassals. In fact, they will be closely monitored for a long time. If they have any abnormal movements, they will be here In very remote places, they can die silently for any reasonable reason.

Taiping's trouble is in the court, many people in the court are veterans of several dynasties, they have no other skills, but they have deep seniority, they have served Li Zhi, Li Xian, Li Dan and Wu Zetian successively, now it is Taiping, and they rely on Taiping had just ascended the throne, and his foundation was still shallow, so he relied on the old to sell the old in various ways.

In fact, these people can only talk about it, but the local area and the military on the border are all problems for Taiping. In order to consolidate his position, Wu Zetian used cruel officials on the one hand and encouraged informers. On the other hand, it is to delegate power to the local snakes in these places. You have no benefit, who will mess with you?But now that she is here in Taiping, she wants to take back these powers. After all, if the people below are really used to doing their own thing, will it still be her world?

In short, after assuming the throne, Taiping began to feel bad before he had time to reflect on the supreme imperial power.Not to mention Xue Shao still has a few children, they are actually quite calm, although Taiping retains the Crane Supervisor, there are still a few male pets in the Daming Palace, but they are just male pets, Taiping does not intend to give these male pets What special status, at her age, it is impossible for her to take risks to have children, so even though Xue Shao was a little awkward, she still accepted it.As for the children, they are used to seeing their grandmother's style. Besides, there are so many things like this these days. As a queen, you don't even need to have the same moral pressure as other people, so the children are also are used to it.Now that Taiping has just ascended the throne, many things have not been sorted out, and the children have just adapted to the change of status, so even if they want to fight for power, it is not enough.

What worries Taiping is the things about the outer dynasty, but after going through so many things, and the teachings Wu Zetian gave her a few years ago, she also understands that nothing should be too anxious, she is not too old now, if there is no If there is any accident, it will not be a problem to be the emperor for ten or twenty years, so she plans to take her time, and she can't leave these things to the next generation.But even after making this preparation, she still feels aggrieved. Now that she meets a bright pearl who can speak her mind, Taiping really has a lot to say, so she immediately left the pearl in the palace. .

When the best friends were talking at night by candlelight in the palace, Yang Yao and Li Xi also welcomed wave after wave of visitors.

Wu Zetian's death made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Even though they felt that the superior was a woman, many people secretly felt uncomfortable, but at least the transition of power was smooth, so there was no bloodshed, which also made many trembling under Wu Zetian's hands. people became more relaxed.After all, compared to her own mother, the current empress is actually much gentler. The so-called kindness is bullied by others, which is one of the reasons why Taiping is constrained in the court.

As the most successful branch of Li Tang's clan, it is inevitable for everyone to be curious about Ryukyu and overseas.Although everyone has the mentality of going to the top of the country, they only think that the moon is their own circle, and other places have flaws, but because they don't want to leave the Central Plains, it doesn't mean that they don't like wealth from overseas!

Now everyone knows that on Li Yue's territory, there are several gold mines alone. This is a hard currency. Who doesn't like these golden cuties?What's more, there are really many good things overseas. For example, now, Ryukyu has developed brocades that are more exquisite than Shu brocades. In addition, there is also a fabric made of plantains. Because it is refreshing and does not stick to the skin, it is the best for making summer shirts. The choice is also very popular.

The other is porcelain. Because of the unique blue material in the South China Sea, the blue and white porcelain produced in Ryukyu has also become the new favorite of the Central Plains.Bone china and the like have become worthless since the formula was made public. At least the upper echelons don’t like it anymore. It sounds like it’s not worth it when you hear it mixed with ashes. Therefore, the newly produced jade porcelain has become Be welcome.

Although the reserves of kaolin in Nanyang are not very rich, the quality is not as good as that in Jingdezhen, but it is not much worse, and the rich mineral resources here also bring more colors to porcelain, and Li Yue has seen it in museums in his previous life. They searched for those craftsmen to grope and burn a series of high-quality porcelain. Although the name has changed, the aesthetics are the same. In particular, Li Yue also controlled the output of high-quality porcelain.Therefore, all kinds of high-quality porcelain produced in Ryukyu or Nanyang are in short supply.These are the main high-end products, and there are also some other products, such as various products made of coconut palm and palm, which are also very popular in many places.

In addition to various refined products, precious spices and pearls, corals and gemstones are also key products exported by Ryukyu.Li Yue has already selected some sea areas to develop seawater cultured pearls. Because of the shellfish species selected, the cultured pearls are much more beautiful than freshwater cultured pearls. Of course, the cost is actually higher. After all, the ecological environment in the sea It is much more complicated than that in rivers and lakes. These days, there is no way to use any nylon cages, and they can only be stocked. If something happens, the shellfish that have been stocked may run away.

In short, when people talk about Ryukyu and Nanyang, they think of golden money. It’s just that Ryukyu is open and open. They welcome all kinds of free trade, but they are closed and closed. If you don’t Get the permission to trade with Ryukyu, then, at sea, you are the target of the Ryukyu Navy.Under such circumstances, the "Trade License Order" was sold at a sky-high price in the Central Plains, but it is not as good as getting it. Different license orders have different deadlines. Apply, and Ryukyu has a strict review mechanism, which will check your transactions over the years, and the most important thing is to check taxes. As long as you are found to have tax evasion, you will not only be fined a huge amount, but your license will also be revoked According to the severity of your situation, it is determined how many years you will be put on the blacklist.

To be honest, this is not friendly to those who are used to poaching the corners of the imperial court. They have long been used to taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules. At that time, the officials in charge of this matter were bribed. Their land is a big mu, and ordinary people can only have a small mu of land. It is also a one-mu field. In the yellow book, whether it is recorded as upper field, middle field or even wasteland depends on the same. Your skill!And Datang's relatively negligent commercial and tax policies also gave them more room to exploit loopholes.

But in Ryukyu, Li Yue will not pamper them. This has also caused many people to step on the pit. They wanted to ask for help before, but they couldn't find a way. Now that the queen and the crown prince have arrived in Chang'an, they naturally can't neglect them. Familiarity will do.

Yang Yao is not interested in this, but Li Xi has to face these. After all, Li Yue is now old and has begun to let go of many things, and dealing with these dignitaries in Datang is also a necessary for Li Xi. Work, whether politically or economically, is the same.

But in the distant Ryukyu, Li Yue threw away the information about the Central Plains sent by Jin Yiwei. As long as Taiping is not stupid, there will be no major movements in the Central Plains for at least 20 years. Li Yue carefully looked at the map, and finally He turned his attention to Tianzhu.
