Xu Qilin doesn't know much about ghosts, bad luck, etc., and often needs Daya to remind him. After all, he was a materialist in his previous life, and he experienced less in this aspect in his later life.

According to Daya, sometimes it's fate that you can't change.

Xu Qilin really can't help it, who makes his son a princess, or the favorite princess of His Majesty Li Er, it is absolutely impossible for him to take it with him to protect him at any time.

In the next two days, Xu Qilin arranged the matter of taking care of Sister A more thoughtfully and meticulously, and felt that it was foolproof, so he set off to Xin'an again.

After several years of practice, Xin'an's glass craftsmen have made great progress in blowing skills, and have also invented a lot of auxiliary equipment, and the yield has increased significantly, and finally has the conditions for market sales.

That is to say, in addition to the cornucopia of mirrors, the big surplus treasury will add another big entry, and rolling money will follow.

Xu Qilin rushed to Xin'an and began to continue to improve the process and prepare for glass commodity fairs in Chang'an and Yangzhou.

Chang'an is the capital city, and it is connected to the Western Regions, with many powerful and wealthy and Hu merchants; Yangzhou is open to sea trade, the economy is prosperous, and the maritime merchants are very rich. Glass goods, which are defined as luxury goods, naturally have to be sheared from these fat sheep.

Now, the process of transparent glass is basically perfect, and Xu Qilin has focused on the manufacture of optical glass. This requires higher transparency, a higher refractive index.

In addition to optical glass, Xu Qilin also directs the production of large flat glass. It is still the calendering method, and other methods are technically difficult to implement.

After repeated experiments and repeated changes in the formula, Xu Qilin felt that success was not far away.

And for the smooth running of the fair, Xu Qilin also began to pay a small amount of tribute to the royal family in Chang'an. In addition to royal use, it is also excellent publicity as a reward.

Unexpectedly, he sent something, but found an excuse for Li Sipang, and ran to Xin'an to find him.

Originally, as soon as Xu Qilin came back, Li Sipang got the news. In Chang'an, it's a bit too much to come to see him, and it's conspicuous. But when I arrived in Xin'an, I didn't come to visit.

Of course, putting aside the relationship between the two, Xu Qilin is an official of Dayingku, and he is not affiliated with Li Sipang, and there is no need to visit.

Li Sipang may have also noticed something wrong, it should be something wrong. Therefore, he did not even write letters. It happened that Xu Qilin sent glass products to important people in the royal family, so he came to Xin'an in the name of picking a few more.

Xu Qilin was a little surprised by Li Sipang's arrival, but he didn't tell him about the false accusations made by someone in the capital.

Anyway, this matter has passed, and telling Li Sipang may cause him resentment, in case something happens impulsively, wouldn't it be his responsibility?

Well, if you like glassware, then you can choose!

Xu Qilin fulfilled the friendship of the landlord and accompanied Li Sipang to the warehouse to pick. Of course, Li Sipang is not greedy for money, but wants to get some news from Xu Qilin, or some pointers.

And Xu Qilin still said "wait and see the changes, sit back and enjoy the results", although there is nothing new, but it makes Li Sifat feel a little relieved.

When the two got along alone, Li Sipang talked about his concern that he had a shallow foundation and insufficient connections.

"Your Highness, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a deep foundation and a wide range of contacts?" Xu Qilin asked with a smile.

Li Sipang thought about it, raised his eyebrows, seemed to have an understanding, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "It's lonely and worried." ”

His Majesty Li Er is still in good health, and even the crown prince can't threaten him, this is the habit of the royal family and imperial power.

What power does the crown prince Li Chengqian have, what foundation does he have, and what connections does he have? You're just a prince, what do you do with wings?

Unless His Majesty Li Er feels that time is running out and it is very urgent to train a successor, he will personally teach and personally elect a lonely minister, just like he did with Li Zhi.

Therefore, Li Sipang was suddenly awakened by Xu Qilin's rhetorical question, and felt that he wanted to be crooked.

"Your Highness just do your own thing, what should be yours will be yours after all." Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Luozhou is very well governed, and this is a merit. And someone can only stay in the capital, and there is no chance to fish if they want to! ”

Of course, Li Sipang knew that someone was referring to the crown prince Li Chengqian, not to mention any merits, there were a lot of negative things, so that none of the ministers dared to approach the applause.

"I heard that Xu Chongrong is already happy." Li Sipang raised his glass to Xu Qilin and said, "Lone is here to congratulate Qi Lin." ”

Xu Qilin raised his glass in return and said, "I hurried back to Chang'an a few days ago for this matter. Stay until next year, a certain bento uncle. ”

Li Sipang smiled and said, "I also want more than one younger brother and sister." Drink to win! ”

"Drink to win!" Xu Qilin was happy when he thought of this, and raised his head to make this cup.

Drinking, eating, and chatting, the two reunited after a long absence, but they also talked harmoniously and closely.

"When I heard that Qi Lin was assassinated in Ganzhou, I was really shocked, but fortunately there was nothing to do." Li Sipang turned his wine glass, his face was solemn, and he said, "Why, the real culprit behind the scenes has not been found out until now?" ”

Xu Qilin knew the murderer, but the mastermind behind the scenes only knew his appearance, he didn't know his name, and he didn't know who sent it, so he had to shake his head and say: "But it can't be found again, although it can't be found, it has also strengthened the guard, and it will not be given another opportunity to take advantage of." ”

After a pause, Xu Qilin reminded: "You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." Can His Highness be able to protect him? But be careful! ”

Li Sipang nodded disappreciatively and said, "Thank you Qi Lin for your concern, there is no problem with Lone's safety." ”

"Don't be careless!" Xu Qilin reminded again: "The crossbow used by the murderer who assassinated a certain person is easy to prevent, but the crossbow arrow is poisonous, and it is extremely dangerous to get it." ”

Li Sipang blinked his eyes, feeling that Xu Qilin reminded him twice that there should be a reason for the incident, so he nodded and accepted, saying that he would definitely strengthen his defense.

Xu Qilin also deliberately used the Soul Detention Order to observe Li Sipang, and he didn't find anything abnormal, so he was relieved.

Historically, Li Chengqian sent people to make false accusations, and even sent people to assassinate Li Sipang, but unfortunately he did not succeed. At best, they had to take a risk and carry out a coup d'état.

"The work here is over, and I am going to Yangzhou Shipyard." Xu Qilin said his arrangements for this year, "Your Majesty's intention to conquer Goguryeo has been decided, and in addition to shipbuilding, he may go to Hebei Province to take up a post next year." ”

After a pause, Xu Qilin continued: "Maybe you can not go to Hebei Road, but I have to walk around that place and give your majesty the business strategy." In addition, he had to go to Denglai, where Dayingku was exploring for gold. ”

Li Sipang nodded and said, "To conquer Goguryeo, most of them will have to raise troops from Luoyang, right?" Grain and grass materials, Hebei Province is afraid that it will not be able to support all of them, and it will still have to be transported from Luoyang. ”

Xu Qilin pondered for a while and said: "The army must be in Luoyang, but the grain and grass materials can be transported through Yangzhou, and directly transported from the south of the Yangtze River to the sea." This is also the reason why a certain is in a hurry to build a ship. ”

"If that's the case, it's a lot more convenient." Li Sipang thought for a while and asked, "Will my father drive the expedition in person?" ”

Xu Qilin bowed slightly, and said: "Because of this, Your Highness must be patient, and major matters must only be decided in two or three years, and you must not act rashly and fall short." ”

Since His Majesty Li Er wants to drive the expedition in person, the affairs of the capital must be arranged.

Li Chengqian is unbearable, how can he be allowed to stay in the name of the prison country? Therefore, the final determination of this heir is already about to lift the lid.

As long as Li Sifat doesn't toss around, as soon as Li Chengqian falls, he will naturally be the best candidate. The pie will really fall on his head, Li Sipang just didn't understand this truth before.

Of course, in the past few years, he has been guided by Xu Qilin, which can be said to be smooth sailing. Leaving the capital made him gain a lot, not only avoiding the head-on conflict with Li Chengqian, but also gaining a good reputation for governing the local area and caring for the people.

At the same time, Li Sipang has been a father for a long time, and he gradually understands his father's hard work.

Li Chengqian is no longer unbearable, and his father will at most abolish his position as the crown prince, and most likely will not kill him. If he and Li Chengqian have a bad relationship, or even the same situation, wouldn't his father be worried about his ascension to the throne and kill his brother?

The change of Xuanwumen, brothers cannibalism, father and son centrifuge. Once was enough, and it became a stain that my father would wash away for the rest of his life. How could he want to see his son repeat the tragedy?

Therefore, even if it is pretending, you must make the appearance of brotherhood and brotherhood. How Li Chengqian treats himself, that is because he is stupid and short-sighted, but he must not show the intention of killing his brother and killing his brother for fun.

Because of this, Li Sipang is grateful to Xu Qilin. If it weren't for listening to his advice and going out to become a vassal, I don't know what to do with my eldest brother in the capital.

Although Li Sipang listened to Xu Qilin's advice and didn't let people win over this or buy that for him in the capital, he still had ears and eyes. He knew very well what Li Chengqian had done.

Do it, do it, it's all your own doing, I'm just watching quietly from the sidelines, honestly waiting.

"By the way, there is still something to trouble His Highness to help with." Xu Qilin suddenly remembered something and said: "I want to compile a book, but my energy is limited, and I want to ask His Highness to send a few people." ”

Li Sipang smiled and said: "The "Chronicles of the Territory" has been compiled, and the literati under the lone hand are very idle, and Qi Lin needs them, so he called them over. ”

Xu Qilin arched his hand and said, "Then thank you, Your Highness." After a pause, he smiled again: "Don't send high-ranking officials, don't have bad tempers, I'm worried that I won't be able to command them." ”

Li Sipang laughed and said, "Okay, it's just a matter of being alone." ”

Xu Qilin does have a plan to compile a tome, and he usually only records it sporadically, but he has saved a lot in the past few years. But if he wants to summarize, he still feels troublesome, mainly because he doesn't have enough energy.

……………

Chang'an, inside the Imperial Palace.

His Majesty Li Er held a crystal teacup, drinking tea while admiring. I changed the tea set, and I was in the mood again.

He also knew that this beautiful glassware would bring a lot of money. Shipbuilding, accumulation of grain and grass materials, conscription of government soldiers, etc., can solve a lot of expenses for the conquest of Goguryeo.

It's just that the good mood didn't last long, Zhonglang sent Li Anyan to report that Wei Zheng was seriously ill and seemed to die soon.

His Majesty Li Er immediately prepared to go to visit, but when he walked to the gate of the hall, he stopped again. Frowning and thinking about it, he ordered someone to pass Princess Jinyang over.

There was not much time, and the son came to the Qianqiu Palace, and asked his father with a smile what the emperor had called her.

When His Majesty Li Er saw this most beloved daughter, he couldn't help suppressing his sorrow, smiled and said that he was taking her to visit Wei Zheng's mansion.

"It's Zheng Guogong who is seriously ill, and my father is going to visit!" The son took away his smile and said, "Zheng Guogong is an important minister, and the child is willing to go with his father." ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded, deeply relieved to have such a sensible child.

The car drove out of the palace and traveled all the way to the palace of Zheng Guogong. Knowing that His Majesty was there in person, Wei Zheng's wife and eldest son Wei Shuyu hurriedly came out to greet him.

His Majesty Li Er entered the mansion, briefly inquired about his condition, and summoned the accompanying imperial doctor to go for treatment. When the imperial doctor came out to report, he knew that Wei Zheng was already seriously ill and there was no cure.

After a long sigh, His Majesty Li Er's face was full of sadness, and he took his son into the house to visit.

Wei Zheng was already groggy and had little time to wake up. But it's just such a coincidence, when His Majesty Li Er went in, Lao Wei understood.

His Majesty Li Er took a step forward, pressed Lao Wei, who was about to get up, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty-" Lao Wei opened his godless eyes, and his speech was no longer as sharp and sharp as before, "Weichen knows that time is running out, and he can't advise His Majesty anymore." ”

His Majesty Li Er was sad in his heart and comforted: "Recuperate with peace of mind, don't think about it." I am waiting for you to return to the court, to be loyal and straightforward, so that if I hear it, I will change it, so as to end up in the good way. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head with difficulty, it was already laborious to open his eyes, two tears slowly flowed out from the corners of his eyes, and he said slowly: "I don't care about Wei, but worry about the death of Zong Zhou."

His Majesty Li Er smiled to himself, stretched out his hand to beckon his son, and said to Wei Zheng: "I brought Princess Jinyang over to visit Aiqing." Second, I want to descend to the princess as the son of Duke Wei. Gong Wei, look at Ling's wife! ”

Wei Zheng tried to open his eyes wide, looked at the princess standing on the hospital bed, and nodded slightly, but he couldn't speak.

His eyes were already bad, but he didn't see that his son's face suddenly turned white, as if he had heard something shocking.

His Majesty Li Er just looked at Wei Zheng, but he didn't notice the change in his son's expression.

For Wei Zheng, His Majesty Li Er is deplorable and sad, this is not a hypocrisy. Because two people have similarities, they both have their own personalities, and they are both persevering to the end for a goal.

Wei Zheng's character is a pure minister and a famous minister, no matter who he follows, he will do his best to assist.

And His Majesty Li Er's character is Mingjun, and if you want to be Mingjun, you naturally need famous ministers to assist. Loyal and honest ministers can better reflect their essence as a king.

Of course, Wei Da Troll's straightforward admonition also made His Majesty Li Er feel a lot angry. But at this time, His Majesty Li Er did not think of this.

In the face of the imminent death of the old minister, His Majesty Li Er's marriage was also thought of Wei Zheng's last wish, and he didn't have to worry about what would happen to his family after his death.
