Chapter Forty-Six: Trading with the Dead Feng Gai

"Is it really a promise that can be exchanged for such a big right?" Du He thought suspiciously, no matter what, Li Shimin is also a wise emperor, it is impossible to hand over such a big power to Li Zhen because of his foolishness, right? Is it really that simple? However, he didn't ask this, because it was obvious that there was some unknown transaction in it, if Li Zhen was willing to say it, he would naturally say it, and if he broke the casserole and asked the truth, it would not only make Li Zhen disgusted and even disgusted, but also knowing too many things was not a good thing for him.

"......" Li Zhen saw Du He's doubts, but he didn't explain too much, of course, things are not as simple as a promise, for these rights, Li Zhen gave away the steelmaking, artillery and glass production methods, and the rest of the small technologies were given to Li Shimin I don't know how much, and repeatedly promised not to abuse his power, plus Li Zhen's technology is indeed too tempting (in Li Zhen's view, it is a small technology, but in Li Shimin's view, it is a technology that can strengthen the country), Li Shimin reluctantly agreed, otherwise you try to change to a prince? Li Shimin is weird to kill you.

Although he lost a lot of technology, Li Zhen didn't feel pain, because only with these rights in his hands could he ensure that he would build Yuezhou safely, and he would not be picked a peach halfway - you must know that the Tang Dynasty has the habit of changing the title, especially Li Shimin's son, almost every one of them has been renamed (it seems that Li Zhi has always been the king of Jin and has not been changed). For example, Li Ke was first named the King of Shu, and then he was renamed the King of Wu, and the same is true of Li Zhen in history, first he was named the King of Han, and then he was named the original king, and finally he was named the King of Yue, which shows how common the change of title was during the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhen didn't want to have some achievements just now, and then Li Shimin saw that he had a full-fledged posture, so he sealed himself elsewhere with an edict.

And now that you have these rights, you are not afraid, if Li Zhen is sealed to another place, should she be promoted or demoted in terms of treatment? Li Shimin is reluctant to be promoted, but if he is demoted, Li Zhen did not make any mistakes, but has a great credit, if you don't give the seal, forget it, why should you still reduce the treatment of others? It's hard to convince the public.

Besides, Li Zhen has been resealed and left, so there must be a new Yue King here in Yuezhou. In the same way, since Li Zhen has so much power, what is Li Shimin's attitude towards King Xinyue? Is it to be treated according to the treatment of the original Yue King, or is it enough to raise the meaning a little?

If it is according to Li Zhen's specifications, the new king has not made an inch, and it is still difficult to convince the public to rashly give such a high treatment. But if it's just a meaning, the new king won't be satisfied—how? Li Zhen, you give such a high salary, you just mean it when you come to me, father, you have an opinion on me, right? Definitely have an opinion, right? No matter what, Li Shimin is in a dilemma.

In the end, if Li Zhen really took root here and made this place his own territory, even Li Shimin would not dare to touch him easily. Because if Li Zhen is passive, even if he doesn't rebel, I'm afraid that the entire Yuezhou and even Lingnan will be in turmoil for more than ten years, which is not what the rulers of the current dynasty want to see.

So sometimes the power of the vassal king is not necessarily a bad thing for him, because your power is high enough and powerful enough, even the emperor will not dare to touch you, because once you are moved, your entire territory will be chaotic. It's like now, the Feng family has been destroyed and Lingnan has become like this, if Li Zhen's influence is even more powerful than the Feng family...... Presumably, whether the emperor is Li Shimin or not, he does not want to see such turmoil in Lingnan again.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Your Highness, why are you distracted again?"

"It's nothing, I've been on the boat for a long time, and I'm a little tired." Li Zhen fooled around casually and asked, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

Du He said in a low voice: "Feng Zhibao is here." ”

Feng Zhibao ...... How did he get here? Li Zhen paused for a moment and said suspiciously: "I remember that Yuezhou is Feng Gai's territory, isn't Feng Zhibao afraid of being killed by Feng Gai?" You must know that Feng Gai has coveted his money for a long time. ”

Feng Zhibao mainly controls the Feng family's business, and among all the forces, he has the most money, but unfortunately his own force is insufficient, and he has no available combat power in his hands, otherwise he would have unified the Feng family long ago if he had soldiers and money.

"He said he was here to give gifts." Du He said: "And I think he did bring a lot of gifts, and he didn't bring many people, and he seems to be full of sincerity." ”

"Gift-giving?" Li Zhen thought thoughtfully, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I kind of understand his purpose, interesting, it's really getting more and more interesting." ”

"Then does His Highness see him or not?"

"See, of course I want to see, the benefits of sending it to the door, why don't you see it?" Li Zhenruo smiled meaningfully: "If I am not mistaken, this gift from Feng Zhibao is definitely a big gift." ”

"Then the subordinate will let him come over, or will he wait for Your Highness to settle down?" A hint of discoloration flashed in Du He's eyes, and he also understood what Li Zhen meant, and his heart was suddenly happy. That's a good sign.

"Of course, we have to settle down first." Li Zhen stopped him and said, "This Feng Zhibao is our fortune boy, a distinguished guest, we have to receive it ceremoniously." You go back and tell him first, and say that the king is tired of traveling and driving, and it is inconvenient to meet the guests, so let him come back to visit the king at this time tomorrow. ”

"Yes."

"By the way, be polite, maybe you may have to work together in the future." Li Zhen added.

A smile flashed on Du He's face: "My subordinates understand." ”

After Du He left, Xue Rengui asked, "Your Highness, the mansion is ready, do you want to go and rest now?" ”

"Okay, then I'll go to rest, I'm really tired after sitting on the boat for so long." Li Zhen stretched: "There is another thing for you to do, Feng Zhibao ventured into Feng Gai's territory, Feng Gai must have found out, such a good opportunity, he will definitely not let it go." You will lead some people to Feng Zhibao's residence to secretly protect them in a while, and don't let Feng Gai succeed. ”

"Yes, I see."

"Alright, I'll go first." Li Zhen waved her hand: "Anyway, I've been here for so long, except for Xu Daoshen, none of the officials in Yuezhou came to see me?" Can't they all die? ”

"According to the information I just received, these people have already taken refuge in Feng Gai." Xue Rengui shook the note in his hand: "And not only these people, almost all the officials in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Yuezhou have either taken refuge in Feng Gai, or have been secretly replaced by Feng Gai. ”

It's still three more.
