It's just that three has changed to four, but it points to their brother and son very vividly, how can Li Sipang not understand?

The crown prince Li Chengqian is the first apprentice, with good talents, and established the status of the heir early; The second apprentice is him, Li Tai and Li Si are fat, full of literary brilliance, and are deeply favored by His Majesty Li Er, but he invisibly snubbed the boss, and also made him have the heart to compete for the position.

As a result, the first disciple and the second disciple fought over their heads and blood, to the point where water and fire were incompatible. In this way, it is also to deprive themselves of their hope of ascendancy.

But as long as His Majesty Li Er has the intention of protecting his son, then he will not let anyone take the throne. Because whoever is in the position will most likely be killed.

If I were my father, I wouldn't want my sons to kill each other and recreate the tragedy of cannibalism! Li Sipang's face was solemn, and he finally realized this layer.

In the end, there was only one result left, the throne was neither passed on to the eldest nor the second, all to save their lives. And the cowardly and honest third person is the object that has to be chosen.

To put it bluntly, the more he and Li Chengqian fight, the farther away from the throne becomes. If it gets into trouble, then there is no hope at all.

In the same way, the relationship with Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is the same. No matter what you think in your heart, you should be harmonious and close on the surface, showing the family affection of "brothers, friends and brothers".

I see, I see! I was really stupid, I didn't think of this layer, I just thought that if I pulled my eldest brother off the horse, I would be able to get the inheritance of the throne. Unexpectedly, he was heading for a hopeless road.

Li Sipang finally figured it all out, and his gaze at Xu Qilin became strange. He didn't think that Xu Qilin came up with it, but put the pot on the head of Lu Yuxian, who didn't exist.

Maybe it was Lu Yu Xianchang who really had such a painful experience, which made Xu Qilin feel something.

But no matter what, I finally didn't make the biggest mistake. When he came to Luoyang, he avoided Li Chengqian's suspicion and the possibility of making enemies with him.

Look at what just happened, the eldest brother is really not an ordinary person, which makes his father angry. killed the heart, killed Qin Ying and other Taoist priests, and severely reprimanded the eldest brother, he didn't have to do anything, which lowered the status of the eldest brother in his father's heart.

It should be his own departure, which makes the eldest brother a little unscrupulous, right? The third brother is still young, if he is still favored by his father after a few years, the eldest brother should turn his resentment to him, right?

Li Sipang let out a sigh of relief, got up and waved at Xu Qilin, so panicked that Xu Qilin hurriedly got up and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this, you have killed the lower officials." ”

"I just woke up today, and I really can't do it." Li Sipang said sincerely and gratefully: "Qi Lin has repeatedly advised, and only today did he know his good intentions. Therefore, it was not a big mistake, but it was too light to show a certain gratitude. ”

Xu Qilin also took a deep look, and only after the return salute was finished did he speak: "Your Highness is serious." With His Royal Highness's wisdom and filial piety, His Majesty should be a loving father and spend all his days as a whole, that is, it is good! ”

Li Sipang nodded vigorously and said, "This is very good, if you dare to do it." ”

Sitting down again, the conversation between the two relaxed a lot. Li Sipang opened his heart, understood the truth, and asked Xu Qilin for advice on how to govern Luozhou.

In fact, Luoyang is now in a very awkward position. The political capital is Chang'an, and the commercially and economically developed cities are Yangzhou and Suzhou, but Luoyang is a dilapidated palace with a small population, and only one has the honor of being a Caoyun transmission station.

In this regard, Xu Qilin still has some solutions. It is still possible to develop industry and commerce, renovate urban facilities when there is money, and gradually restore to the prosperous period of the Sui Dynasty, within ten years.

Moreover, when the Western Regions settle down and His Majesty Li Er turns his attention to Goryeo, Luoyang's status will rise and become the largest logistics base.

Of course, this will take time, as long as Li Sipang can endure it, there will be no shortage of political achievements. Far away in Luoyang, no matter how much political achievements and reputation he has, it is estimated that Li Chengqian should be suspicious and unable to sit still.

But as long as Li Tai doesn't make a move and does practical things here with peace of mind, Li Chengqian's suspicion and resentment have nothing to do with him, and it will not affect His Majesty Li Er's decision-making.

Besides, helping Li Sipang is equivalent to helping yourself. For the scumbag Li Zhi, Xu Qilin doesn't like it at all, and he can't see that he picked up the cheap.

After listening to Xu Qilin's several suggestions, Li Sipang gladly accepted them. At this time, he firmly thought that Xu Qilin didn't seem to be in line, but he was his most powerful supporter.

In this way, Xu Qilin will not be retaliated against by the crown prince Li Chengqian, and he will not make his father dissatisfied. And Xu Qilin is valued by his father, and if he rises step by step, he will be more helpful to himself in the future.

Of course, Xu Qilin thinks that if Li Sipang does not compete for succession as in history, it is very likely that he will get the throne. Judging from Li Chengqian's performance now, it does make him more confident.

Moreover, as for which side to stand on, Xu Qilin felt that he couldn't say anything, it was a matter for the bigwigs in the DPRK and China. It doesn't matter if you get closer to Li Sipang, who will let you be in Luoyang!

talked with Li Sipang for a long time, it was very harmonious and harmonious, and both of them were satisfied with the results. Then, Xu Qilin got up to say goodbye, and also politely declined Li Sipang's invitation to the banquet.

Li Sipang didn't care about this, Xu Qilin had already given him substantial help, and this kind of affectionate behavior could be avoided. Moreover, Xu Qilin's avoidance of suspicion is also beneficial to him.

Xu Qilin left the palace and went directly back to the house he had just bought. Luoyang is not better than Chang'an, housing prices are still in a low stage, he has money, so he simply bought a house larger than Chang'an, and the location is also a good location in Luoyang.

Xu Qilin is optimistic about the future of Luoyang, and having a place to settle here is much more comfortable than living in an office or hotel.

In addition to buying a house, Xu Qilin also bought two shops in Nanshi and Beishi, bought a vacant land outside the city, and gradually laid out his own industry in Chang'an in Luoyang.

Back at the house, Xu Qilin went directly to the study, half lying in a rocking chair, drinking the tea offered by his subordinates, and resting leisurely.

Shouldn't I bring the two girls of Jiali's Jiani, or should they wait comfortably, especially Scarlett. Xu Qilin also bought a maid ring, but he always felt that he couldn't be handy.

But after thinking about it, Xu Qilin felt that it was too early. In a few days, he will go down the river to inspect whether the arrangements for other sections of Caoyun have been implemented and what are the deficiencies.

Moreover, in more than two months, he will go back to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year with his relatives! There are no planes, trains, automobiles or anything, so summoning the two girls and bringing them back is not enough time to toss on the road!

Thinking of this, Xu Qilin had no choice but to give up for the time being. Let's look at the situation next year, whether you still need to be busy outside, His Majesty Li Er doesn't have a letter there.

In fact, the environment in Luoyang is better than that of Chang'an, at least the summer is not so hot, and the winter is not so cold and damp.

"Ah Lang, Chen Ertie is out asking to see you." A girl came in and reported it a little timidly.

Xu Qilin opened his half-closed eyes, got up a little reluctantly, and went to the flower hall.

This Chen Ertie is the one who escaped the disaster and ran to Chang'an, and there is an elder brother named Chen Datie. Because Xu Qilin saw that they were doing a good job, he simply set up a team of contractors to renovate houses for people.

For example, when it is very hot in summer, it is to install earthen air conditioners for the homes of the powerful and rich; When the weather became cooler, Xu Qilin taught them to build a kang and a fire wall, and install an iron stove for burning coal.

There is really a lot of work, who makes Chang'an rich and noble, and even some renovations in the palace will be contracted by them.

Of course, this is all backed by Xu Qilin. Although it is not heavy enough, it can also talk and solicit a lot of projects.

Xu Qilin bought a house in Luoyang, which also needs to be renovated. It is troublesome to teach now, and after the promotion of coal burning, there is a lot of work on the Luoyang side, so he simply divided the contractor team into two, and Chen Ertie rushed to Luoyang with some people to make money.

In the flower hall, Chen Ertie only sat on half of his buttocks, and when he saw Xu Qilin coming in, he immediately stood up and saluted.

"There's no need to be inhibited here." Xu Qilin smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I'll rest for two days just when I arrive, so I don't need to be in such a hurry." ”

Chen Ertie smiled innocently and said, "Back to Xu Lang's words, we are not tired, but we are afraid of delaying Xu Lang's affairs." ”

"Sit." Xu Qilin pointed to the chair, sat down on the main seat, groaned for a while, and said: "You are temporarily living in the workshop in Dayingku outside the city, and a certain person has already asked people to go to see the place, and it is estimated that you will be able to buy a suitable house soon." When the time comes, you will move out again. ”

"It's all up to Xu Lang to arrange." Chen Ertie sat on half of his ass, owed again, and thanked him.

Xu Qilin continued: "First transform this house, and then follow the shape of Chang'an. Then, there is the Wei Wangfu, which has already been said. In the future, there may be more work, you have to do it quickly, you have to do it well, you see the situation and recruit workers locally. ”

Chen Ertie arched his hand again and said, "Xu Lang, don't worry, this job will definitely be done quickly and well." I brought a dozen people, each of whom is already an expert, and it's no problem to lead a team. ”

"That's good." Xu Qilin nodded and said, "What materials do you need, go to the housekeeper to pay for it, and when the salary is settled, you will return the material money." ”

After a pause, Xu Qilin said with a smile: "If there is a lot of work here, enough expenses, it is no problem to bring your family here." If you buy a house or land, you can also borrow money from here. ”

"Xu Lang is really benevolent." Chen Ertie thanked: "Everyone thinks of your goodness, and they also think that it is better to do this now than to go home and farm." ”

Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to farm, it's not impossible. A certain can find a way, and there should be no big problem in Luozhou. ”

Chen Ertie thanked him and got up to leave. Xu Qilin called a subordinate and led them to a workshop outside the city to rest for the time being.

Xu Qilin was just about to go back to the study, when Wu Xiang came over and reported that the drunken night building had brought another meal.

This drunken restaurant is not opened by outsiders, it is still Boss Xu. To say that people are businessmen's minds, and the new dishes are quite popular in Chang'an, he opened a branch in Luoyang, which is taken care of by relatives.

After Xu Qilin came to Luoyang, this relative also received a letter from Boss Xu and came to visit Xu Qilin. Subsequently, Zuixiaolou often sent meals to show his closeness and hospitality.

In this regard, Xu Qilin is not upright, and he has to give money. are all acquaintances, isn't that unfamiliar? Anyway, you can't suffer a loss if you are so diligent in Drunken Xiaolou, if something happens, Xu Qilin will naturally help settle it.

Seeing that it was almost dinner time, Xu Qilin asked his subordinates to take the food to his study, and specially instructed him to add two more pots of wine.

When the weather cooled, the night came much earlier.

Xu Qilin returned to the study, and Yahuan had already lit the candle, waiting for his orders.

"And stand down first, and I'll call you if something happens." Xu Qilin waved away the ring and closed the door again.

Just sitting at the table, a cool breeze blew, the candle flame shook violently a few times, and Daya and Xiaoye appeared one after the other.

Xu Qilin smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to gesture, and said, "Sit down and eat!" ”

That's right, Xu Qilin left Chang'an and took these two ghosts with him. He was worried that if he wasn't there, these two ghosts would have any demons, and it would not be good to scare the family.

Daya was not polite, sat opposite Xu Qilin, and consciously reached out to take a pot of wine, and poured a sip into the spout without using a cup. Breathing in the wine, her eyes lit up.

Xiao Ye sat down very obediently, picked up his chopsticks and scanned the dishes on the table, took a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

This kind of scene is not very common, hell, it is not like a person, three meals a day are indispensable. Moreover, Daya and Xiaoye often let Xu Qilin put it in the soul detention card, saying that they were afraid that people with Taoism would see through it.

"I think I'll be able to stay at home for a while, right?" Daya guessed and said, "Since you bought this house, you haven't lived in it for a few days. ”

Xiao Ye glanced at Xu Qilin, and then picked his favorite dishes again.

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "If you can stay for more than ten days, you have to take a boat and walk along Cao Road to see if the arrangements along the way are complete." In winter, some rivers freeze and make it impossible to navigate. And the Cao Yun will start in April next year, and there can be no delay. ”

Daya pursed her lips and teased: "I'm not very old, and I take care of a lot of things." And there is no shortage of money, what are you busy with? ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Who made us have a big ability, we can't do it!" ”

Xiao Ye raised her head and stuck out her tongue, indicating her disdain for bragging, which was still relatively normal, and her tongue didn't reach her chin.

Xu Qilin didn't care, looked at Daya and Xiaoye thoughtfully, and only said after a long time: "By the way, you two seem to be quite moisturized in the Soul Detention Card, and this state seems to have changed again." ”

"How's that changing?" Daya's heart was sudden, but she pretended not to care, and teased: "This girl is more beautiful, aren't you a little ape-like?" ”

Xiao Ye looked at Sister A, then at Xu Qilin, and giggled.

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and said in his heart: You female ghost, you don't want me to do it in vain, it's quite narcissistic!

But after such a fork, Xu Qilin's thoughts were a little confused, and he didn't ask any more questions, and put the matter aside for the time being.
