His Majesty Li Er is broad-minded, and he is willing to share the wealth with the old guys who were born and died with him, Hou Junji was killed by himself, and no matter how generous the emperor is, it is impossible to tolerate rebellion, but even so, it is a big crime to wipe out the three clans in any dynasty, and His Majesty Li Er still left a bloodline for Hou Junji, and his son was sent to Danzhou.

But that doesn't mean he's soft-hearted.

Soft-hearted and capable of killing brothers and brothers, forcing their fathers to abdicate, and cutting off their brothers?

He knew that there was still an undercurrent in the court at the moment, or he was not satisfied with the means he seized back then, or he might covet the position of the prince, so there was a group of Zicheng fox society rats hiding in the dark place, watching his every move all the time, and when there was a slight loophole, they would break through the ground and show their fangs.

The royal expedition is the best opportunity he gives these people......

Therefore, how to choose the personnel who will go with the expedition and stay in the prison country involves a wide range of things, even if His Majesty Li Er is confident and conceited, he must be cautious and careful, so as not to let the development of the situation go beyond his control.

Facing Li Ji's inquiry, he said indifferently: "This matter is not in a hurry, there are still several months before the expedition, and this time is enough for me to think carefully and avoid omissions." As for the hoarding of grain and grass in Guanzhong...... This is the matter of the royal sailors, at present, the sky is cold and the sky is full of freezing wind and snow, but the sun is shining on the side of the South Sea, the grass is luxuriant, the rain is abundant, the fertile fields are numerous, and the grain is ripe several times a year. Mao Gong you are the first assistant, you only need the political hall to write the royal sailor, although Fang Jun is reckless, but his ability to do things is still extremely safe. ”

Li Jizhen said yes, pondered for a moment, and said: "Although Fang Jun's ability to do things is excellent, it is not said that there is no one among the young officials who can stand out, that is, he is also a first-class talent with a view of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military. However, in the end, the young man's temperament, and the spirit of the will is inevitable, when His Majesty personally recruits, most of the Sixteen Guards will inevitably accompany them to Liaodong, and the army and personnel are all responsible for the military department, Your Majesty ...... It still needs to be considered, after all, Fang Jun and Guan Long have deep grievances, and they can do everything fairly and put the overall situation first. ”

"Hehe, isn't Aiqing the black state of suing Fang Jun behind his back? Beware of the mallet seizures after hearing about it, and it's not over with you. ”

Li Ji said angrily: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, although Weichen dares to call himself an elder in front of that guy, and he is respectful to Weichen, but if he knows that Weichen said these words behind his back, he can really jump two feet high, and he will not be reluctant." However, this crusade is an extremely important event for the Empire, and there must be no omission, and nothing can be missed, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable. For the sake of the foundation of the empire, for the sake of His Majesty's grand plan, Weichen has the heavy responsibility of picking up the missing and filling the gaps, how dare he ignore the possible crisis because of his personal feelings? This is not the duty of a human minister. ”

Putting the teacup on the table, His Majesty Li Er bowed his head happily and said, "I'm just joking, how can I not know that Mao Gong is loyal to your country?" Don't worry, I will knock Fang Jun in this regard, and I must put the interests of the empire first, and put aside all personal grievances. ”

Li Ji got up and saluted, and shook the ground: "Your Majesty is the Holy Lord of the Thousand Autumns, Wencheng Wude is rare in ancient and modern times, and it is really a Ming Jun in ancient times!" What an honor it is for Weichen to be able to assist His Majesty in pioneering the great achievements that have never been achieved through the ages? I will definitely put on my liver and gall, bow to the best of my heart, and disobey His Majesty's trust! ”

"Hehe, you and I have been together for decades, why bother to say such sensual words? The government and the opposition all said that Fang Jun was a traitorous minister, flattering and shameless, and it was enough to have him. ”

The monarch and the ministers looked at each other and laughed.

When Li Ji left, His Majesty Li Er drank the tea slowly, picked up a piece of snack and chewed it slowly in his mouth, and his tiger eyes gradually narrowed.

It was really a wise decision to drive the expedition, and lo and behold, even Li Ji, who was plain and wise and protected himself, was like a mud tire. However, according to his understanding of Li Ji and several reports from the "Hundred Cavalry Division", it is speculated that this meeting may not be Li Ji's original intention, but those Shandong families who are entangled with him are behind it.

As the core of the Sixteen Guards, the Guanlong nobles were unwilling to lie dormant and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Eastern Expedition to make a comeback, as well as the Jiangnan Shi clan who were the focus of money and grain collection......

Can't help but jump out?

A grim smile overflowed from the corner of His Majesty Li Er's lips, but the tiger's eyes became brighter and brighter.

At the same time, he remembered that Fang Jun sent someone to the palace a few days ago to report that there were 100,000 urgent matters and he must go to Huating Town immediately, and he would explain after the matter was completed.

What is the matter, I can't even enter the palace to make a sound, so I can't wait to go to Huating Town?

He said that the soldiers who had gone to the Americas had returned, and that he was going to greet them, and that if things went well, he would give him a great gift that shook the past and the present...... That bastard is really not a son of man, as an emperor, rich in the world, even if it is a valuable gift, how can it be called "shaking the past and shining the present" in his eyes?

If there really is such a thing, it is probably only the jade seal of the country that the first emperor made with He's bi and "ordered by the heavens and longevity and eternal prosperity......

His Majesty Li Er smiled dumbly.

The jade seal of the country has disappeared since the end of the Han Dynasty, and all those who have been circulated in the world have finally been confirmed to be forgeries, and the real product has long been buried under the thick dust of history with countless wars.

It can be met but not sought.

Moreover...... What state is the Americas?

His Majesty Li Er frowned, he was sure that there was no such place name in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, maybe it was the name of Nanyang Fanbang?

*****

Fang Jun felt that his heart was about to jump out, swallowed his spit fiercely, and ordered the warship to slowly sail towards the dilapidated fleet on the shore.

The warships in charge of guarding on the sea immediately separated into two and approached, and when the soldiers found Fang Jun and Pei Xingjian standing side by side at the bow of the ship, they hurriedly blew the horn, and the horn of "woo" sounded across the sea, and the nearby warships immediately opened their sails to make way for a passage, and let the warship that Fang Jun was riding sailed straight into the warning circle.

The closer he got to those broken ships, the more nervous Fang Jun became, and even his breathing became short.

Did the fleet reach the Americas?

Did you get the plants you told you?

No one knows better than Fang Jun what it means for Datang and the entire Chinese nation once he gets corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes!

If it is really obtained, Fang Jun can optimistically predict that in a hundred years, the population of Datang will be enough to exceed 100 million!

What did 100 million people mean on Earth in the seventh century?

It will be an indisputable and irresistible global hegemon! The Tang Dynasty can point its troops at any powerful empire in the world, let millions of troops wreak havoc on all lands, and let the Han colonize the entire land under the sky!

Pei Xingjian, who was beside him, looked at Fang Jun, who was trembling, and was inexplicable......

It's just an expeditionary fleet, even if it's ordered to go somewhere to discover a rare treasure and have already succeeded, right?

With a suspicious mood, he had already approached the warships.

Fang Jun has already issued a military order, once this fleet returns, it will be immediately treated as an emergency military affairs of the sailor, the highest level of secrecy measures, except for the necessary medical and food supplies, no one in the fleet is allowed to leave the ship, no one on the shore is allowed to approach without reason, violators, no mercy!

Therefore, Pei Xingjian is also close to ...... for the first time

When the ship approached the fleet, the sound of the horn obviously attracted the attention of the ship, and several people came out of the cabin, slowly leaned towards the side of the ship, and looked this way.

Pei Xingjian's pupils contracted in an instant!

What kind of person is this?!

The clothes on his body were already ragged, wisps of rags covered his shame, and most of the rest were exposed in the cold sea breeze, and there was a heavy dead air in the dark skin, and a thin layer of skin wrapped the skeleton, and there was no trace of muscle at all.

One of them had sunken cheeks, and one of his sockets was gone, and even the rotting flesh seemed to have been ripped away, leaving only a black hole, and fortunately the top of his shaved head grew short hair like an inch of weeds, otherwise from a distance, it looked like a skeleton from the graveyard in the middle of the night......

What kind of ordeal did these people go through to be tortured like this?
