The "Gongling" case has just begun for others, but for Li Xian, it is over, no matter what the final result is, it has nothing to do with Li Xian, because what Li Xian wants to get from this case has already fallen into the bag, whether it is to break the situation of the hidden alliance between the Empress Wu, the prince and even the king of Yue, or to assist the prince to seize the power of the court, it has become a reality, as for the fate of Gao Hesheng and Liu Yizhi and others, Li Xian doesn't care at all, whether he dies or lives, there is no difference, Naturally, he didn't bother to participate in it, after coming out of the East Palace, Li Xian went straight back to his house, made a pot of fragrant tea, lit the stove with sandalwood, and lay on the rocking chair to pretend to sleep for a while, in order to relax the nerves that had been tense for a long time, however, before Li Xian could recover from his senses, Gao Miao had already rushed into the study.

"Huh?"

Although Li Xian never opened his eyes, as soon as he heard the footsteps, he knew that it was Gao Miao, but he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't bother to ask questions, just closed his eyes and uttered a sound from his nose.

"Your Highness, the shopkeeper Deng has arrived."

Although Li Xian only spoke softly, Gao Miao didn't dare to be the slightest slack, hurriedly walked closer, and bowed down to report.

"Oh? Invite him in, and invite Mr. Zhang as well. ”

Deng Cheng is Li Xian's money bag, but because of his avoidance, he rarely came to the door in the past, but everything was usually transferred through "Ming Di", at this time, since he arrived in person, it was naturally not a trivial matter, Li Xian did not dare to ignore it, so Huo Ran sat up straight, and after a deep groan, he cautiously opened his mouth and ordered.

"Yes, slave and maid obey."

Seeing Li Xian so cautious, Gao Miao didn't dare to ask more, hurriedly answered, and hurriedly exited the study.

Hehe, this old Comrade Zhang is really good-natured, and he deserves to be a good material for being a prime minister! Li Xian waited for a while, and saw that Zhang Cambodia didn't mean to open his mouth at all, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Zhang Gong, everything in the court today has been decided, and it is not bad from expectations. ”

"If Your Highness goes down, you will get it."

Zhang Cambodia obviously expected such a result, and did not have the slightest intention because of the smooth progress of the court discussion, but only bowed slightly, and calmly replied.

"Oh? Hahaha......"

Li Xian himself has always been known for his calm bearing outside, but when he met Zhang Cambodia, who could calm his breath better than himself, Li Xian was also very open, so he laughed and wanted to make fun of Zhang Cambodia, but before the words came out, he saw Gao Miao accompanied Deng Cheng and a middle-aged man who was not tall but extremely stout into the study, and immediately suppressed the words that were about to blurt out, but the smile on his face did not converge, but softened a little.

"Little Deng Cheng knocks to see His Highness!"

Counting up, Deng Cheng has not seen Li Xian's face for more than a year, and when he saw the benefactor at first glance, Deng Cheng's eyes immediately turned red, and he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and bowed to worship.

"Duke Deng doesn't have to be formal, get up, Gao Miao, show Duke Deng!"

Although Deng Cheng is white, but in Li Xian's view, its importance is not under Luo Bingwang and others, over the years, if it were not for Deng Cheng's dedication to running a trading company, Li Xian would not be able to establish a huge force, for such meritorious ministers, Li Xian would not put on a very princely shelf, so he got up with a smile and walked closer, personally helped Deng Cheng up, and asked Gao Miao to move Jindun for him, giving him enough honor.

"Your Highness Xie gave me a seat, the little one has found the master of navigation according to your instructions, and this royal brother is a master."

Li Xian could be polite, but Deng Cheng didn't dare to be casual, so he bowed down and thanked him very much, and then hurried to report.

"Oh?"

When Li Xian heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the man surnamed Wang with a strange gaze.

"Little Wang Haibin knocks on His Highness!"

The middle-aged man was originally standing on the side restrainedly, but when he saw Li Xian's eyes sweeping over, he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and bowed respectfully.

"Wang Zhuangshi, please get up, well, I look at the strong man's actions and have a military bearing, haven't you served in the army?"

Li Xian raised his hand and called a request, and immediately, he looked at Wang Haibin curiously, and asked with a smile.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the small one was originally the commander of the Qianjiang Naval Army (official name, Zhengbapinxia), in his early years, he had conquered Goguryeo with Liu Renliang, the governor of Pyongyang Province, and Lord Liu, and then resigned and returned to his hometown for some reason, because of his poor family, he had to go across the sea to survive, and he has been postponed for more than ten years, and he has been unable to serve the country always, which is really the hatred of Wang's life."

Wang Haibin is obviously a person with a story, and when he heard Li Xian mention the word "in the army", his face instantly darkened, but he didn't dare to be rude in front of Li Xian, so he could only grit his teeth and answer vaguely.

"Oh, I see, it's lonely Menglang, Wang Zhuangshi, please sit down and talk."

Although Wang Haibin did not say clearly what the reason for quitting the army was, Li Xian vaguely guessed the root cause - Datang has never paid much attention to the navy, although at this time the navy division of the Tang Dynasty can be called the first in the world, whether it is equipment or combat power, however, in terms of promotion and even the appointment of generals, the navy is the most discriminated against type of military - there are countless generals in the Tang Dynasty, but there are very few generals from the navy, and most of the commanders of the navy are excluded people who can't stay in the army. It is basically impossible to be promoted to the position of general, so that in recent years, the brain drain of the naval division is extremely serious, and all the ministers in the partial life court do not think so, and no one cares about that heart, Li Xian is committed to this, but he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity for change, at this time, seeing Wang Haibin's look, Li Xian guessed that his departure from the army must be related to promotion, but he didn't say much, just politely waved his hand and motioned for him to sit next to Deng Cheng.

"Your Royal Highness Xie raises love, the small one is used to standing, it's better to stand."

Wang Haibin didn't know Li Xian's personality, so he didn't dare to be casual, so he hurriedly thanked him.

"Okay, Wang Zhuangshi, please feel free." Li Xian didn't force it, just nodded indifferently, and even introduced Deng Cheng to Zhang Cambodia with a smile, these two are not too fond of nonsense, they just greeted each other slightly, and then they didn't say more, but they were just sitting and waiting for Li Xian to explain the task.

"Wang Zhuangshi has been walking on the sea for many years, and he wants to know a little about the sea charts, and there is a sub-map here, which is not accurate, and I invite Wang Zhuangshi to read it." Seeing that everyone's eyes were over, Li Xian didn't talk any more nonsense, smiled indifferently, reached out and picked up a thickly folded paper roll from the few in front of him, spread it out, beckoned to Wang Haibin, and commanded.

"Huh? This picture is ......"

Hearing Li Xian's mouth, Wang Haibin didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down, looked at the picture, and sighed suspiciously, and was dumbfounded for a while, not that this picture looked familiar, but that he couldn't understand it at all.

"In which ports has Wang Zhuangshi been to sea all year round, and where has he been?"

This so-called nautical chart was drawn by Li Xian from memory, naturally not how accurate, but, in general, the direction of the continents is still not wrong, as for the place name, it is just replaced by some words commonly used in the Tang Dynasty today, put it in the future, this map is worthless, but in this era, it is absolutely unique and advanced, of course, those things such as latitude and longitude, except for Li Xian himself, I am afraid that no second person can understand it, Wang Haibin will not be an exception, Li Xian knew this in his heart, and he would not care about Wang Haibin's confusion, so he asked with a smile.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the small ones sometimes go from Hangzhou, sometimes from Guangzhou, where to go to sea, one is to see the sky, the other is to see the requirements of the merchants, there is no difference between the small ones themselves, as for the places they go, the Japanese country is often there, and there are Java and other islands have also walked." Although he didn't understand the significance of Li Xian's question, Wang Haibin still answered Li Xian's question honestly.

"That being the case, Wang Zhuangshi, please look at it, this is the city of Hangzhou, this is the Guangzhou Mansion, this place is where the Wa Kingdom is located, and Java is located here, after Java, it is the ocean, there is a huge island in between, named Australia, and then thousands of miles further is the Americas, and from here, even if you can go to Persia, after Persia, there is a continent not far away, called Africa, and the people who live on it are generally dominated by Kunlun Nu, and around this cape, you will go to another continent, called Europe, which is full of blonde and blue-eyed people, and there are countless small countries, The people who came to my Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions to do business are extraordinary, and the people of these small countries, can Wang Zhuangshi understand it? ”

Li Xian smiled and swiped his finger on the map, briefly describing the various regions, and Wang Haibin's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"Your Highness, the small one barely understands, if this is indeed the Wa Kingdom, this picture is indeed not bad, but I don't know which one of you wrote it, and the small one is less than one."

Wang Haibin is a perennial begging for a living on the sea, once he recognized the location of Dongying and Java, only a little estimate, he has deduced that this map is generally not bad, at least in terms of the sea conditions he has walked, this map can be said to be very accurate, his heart is happy, and he replied excitedly.

"Lone is a European visitor, but I have never been sure about it, Wang Zhuangshi thinks that this picture can be used, Lone has one thing to trust, I don't know if Wang Zhuangshi is willing to help Lone a big favor?"

It is impossible for Li Xianzi to admit that this picture is his own handiwork, otherwise, it is not so easy to explain, and it can only be pushed to the head of the imaginary European people, and there are as many merchants from Europe as those who come to the Tang Dynasty along the Silk Road in these years, and if you want to investigate thoroughly, there is no possibility at all.

"Your Highness, please instruct, if the small one can do it, it will be desperate to do it for His Highness, if not, the small one will not dare to respond indiscriminately."

Although Wang Haibin is rough, he is obviously not a rough person, he is thoughtful and cautious, and he did not agree to Li Xian's request in one bite, but replied cautiously.
