Before the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Jiancheng's power was far stronger than Li Shimin, and as the crown prince, he was originally justified, so most of the civil and military officials were more inclined to Li Jiancheng, even if Li Shimin succeeded in seizing the throne later, but there were still some people who were very loyal to Li Jiancheng, especially knowing that Li Chengdao and Li Yuanji were still alive, which made these people hopeful, or openly or covertly accumulating strength, ready to counterattack at any time.

However, as Li Shimin's throne becomes more and more stable, especially after the destruction of the Turks, even if Li Jiancheng is reborn, I am afraid that he will not be able to regain the throne, plus Li Chengdao and Li Yuanji are far away in the Americas, and they have not returned, which makes many people die, after all, not everyone has the courage to do what they know they can't do.

However, although most of them gave up, there were still some die-hard factions of Li Jiancheng, who not only did not give up, but united under the pressure of Li Shimin, and took the initiative to find opportunities to contact Li Chengdao in the Americas.

Among these Li Jiancheng's diehard factions, there are three people who are the most representative, namely Wei Ting, Wang Qi and Du Yan, the three of them were originally Li Jiancheng's henchmen, but in the seventh year of Wude, because Li Jiancheng was placed together by Li Shimin, Yang Wengan's secret recruitment of troops was exposed, and Li Yuan was very annoyed, but he couldn't bear to punish Li Jiancheng, so he sent Li Jiancheng's henchmen, that is, Wei Ting, to Shanzhou, which is equivalent to the Jinsha River area of Sichuan in later generations.

Originally, Wei Ting and the three of them were considered to have suffered on behalf of Li Jiancheng, but they were all loyal to Li Jiancheng, and this incident was originally Li Shimin's revenge on Li Jiancheng, which led to them being assigned, so the three of them were even more resentful of Li Shimin, but it was precisely because they were assigned that they avoided the killing of the Xuanwumen Change, otherwise with their identities, they would definitely be the first target of Li Shimin's purge.

In the original history, after Li Jiancheng's death, Wei Ting and the three were soon recalled to Chang'an by Li Shimin to serve, and Li Chengdao and Li Yuanji and others in history also died, which made Wei Ting and the three of them also die, and they could only obey Li Shimin's arrangement.

However, now history has been changed by Li Xiu, Li Chengdao and others are still alive, so that Wei Ting and they are also hopeful, and even refused Li Shimin's call, and even the three of them resigned from their original official positions, and then united to settle in the southern coastal area, but Du Yan of the three is old, and died of illness in a few years, speaking of which he is still Du Ruhui's uncle, but the two sides are their masters, and the relationship between them is not very good.

However, although Du Yan died, Wei Ting and Wang Qi are still alive, especially Wei Ting, he and Li Jiancheng grew up together, Li Chengdao saw him as an uncle, and he did not live up to Li Jiancheng's trust, after settling in the southern coastal area, he actually started a maritime merchant like Zhang Shiyi, not only has a fleet under his name, but also has several small shipbuilding workshops.

Wei Ting and Wang Qi were able to become Li Jiancheng's henchmen, and their talents were naturally very outstanding, plus many officials and gentry were very sympathetic to Li Jiancheng, and they also took care of Wei Ting and Wang Qi either explicitly or covertly, which also made Wei Ting and Wang Qi's business in the south also very large, and even they deliberately went overseas to develop and look for opportunities to contact Li Chengdao.

It was also in this situation that Lee Seung-dao's ship came back with the bearded passenger fleet last year, which also allowed Wei Ting and Wang Jue to finally find an opportunity to connect with Lee Chengdao, and they also wrote a letter to Lee Chengdao in person, in which they also revealed the idea of going to the Americas to help Lee Chengdao.

Li Chengdao was also very excited after receiving Wei Ting and Wang Jue's letter, especially after Li Yuanji knew about it, he was even more clamoring to come to Datang to meet them, after all, what they lack most in the Americas is all kinds of talents, and Wei Ting and Wang Jue are even more lacking in administrative talents, not to mention that Wei Ting and Wang Jue still have a lot of power, such as their fleet, and their shipbuilding workshops, which are the forces that are urgently needed in the Americas.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Li Chengdao finally decided to come back in person after careful consideration, originally Li Yuanji wanted to come for him, but Li Chengdao considered that Li Yuanji had a hot temperament and was afraid that he would cause trouble in Datang, thus exposing his identity, so he decided to take a trip in person.

"That's the way it is, when I was in Quanzhou some time ago, I had already connected with Uncle Wei and their people, and I had already made an appointment to go to Liuqiu there to talk to Uncle Wei in detail, but I didn't expect to receive news from Mr., so I came to see Mr. first!" Lee Seung-do finally concluded.

Li Xiu was silent after listening, he had heard some about Wei Ting and Wang Qi, but he didn't know much, after all, there were too many people who were attached to Li Jiancheng at the beginning, and there were also a lot of henchmen, not to mention anything else, just one Wei Zheng was much more famous than the three of them, so he only knew that Wei Ting and they refused Li Shimin's call, and as for their later trip to the south, he didn't know.

"Are Wei Ting and Wang Qi credible?" After a long while, Li Xiu suddenly raised his head and asked Li Chengdao, I don't blame Li Xiu for being too careful, after all, this matter is very important, in case Wei Ting and Wang Jue are unreliable, or even betray Li Chengdao, I'm afraid he won't want to return to the Americas.

"Sir, don't worry, I have already considered the first layer in advance, so when I ask them to meet this time, I will arrange to go to Liuqiu, which does not belong to the Tang Dynasty, and my father-in-law used to build several strongholds there, and now they are all accepted by my brother-in-law, so I am absolutely safe there!"

When he said this, he saw Li Chengdao pause for a moment and then explained: "In addition, I have done some research on Uncle Wei and Wang Qi in advance, and I also know some about their current situation, so I think they are still very credible, plus they also have the talents I urgently need, so I think this risk is worth taking!" ”

Hearing Li Chengdao say this, Li Xiu relieved his mind a little, Li Chengdao has been very shrewd since he was a child, since even he feels that he can trust Wei Ting and Wang Qi, then there should be no problem, not to mention that he has even thought of a way out, even if Wei Ting and the two really want to be unfavorable to Li Chengdao, I am afraid that they will not be able to make any big waves in Liuqiu.

Of course, it would be best if Li Chengdao could recruit Wei Ting and Wang Qi to the past, he was very short of people in the Americas, Wei Ting and the two should be able to bring a group of people, and Li Xiu naturally supported this, after all, he also hoped that Li Chengdao would have a better life in the Americas, as for whether Li Chengdao would counterattack the Tang Dynasty if he became strong in the future, Li Xiu was not worried at all, because the distance between the two sides was too far, as long as Li Chengdao did not have problems with his brain, he would not do such a thankless thing.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw Li Chengdao showing a very tangled expression, and after a while, he said in a hurry: "Sir...... I...... I want to meet Qi Niang! ”
