PS: This chapter has not been able to pass the guò review, and the later chapters of the guide zhì cannot be updated in order, so everyone will just look at it! Silently also distressed.

The scorpion came back, it was seven days later, there were many wounds, the Japanese mission sacrificed more than half of the samurai to evacuate safely to the sea, in the face of the vast sea, the scorpion was really unable to chase and kill before returning.

"You mean that the envoys of the Chinese Ministers and the expelled Japanese envoys fled abroad? And on our water-tanker cargo ship? Yang Lin asked carefully.

"Yes, their actions were premeditated, and before leaving, they also robbed several small counties along the coast, taking away a lot of money, grain and cattle." The scorpion said a little angrily, he risked his life to kill seven in and seven out of the team of the Japanese mission, just to give a breath to the people of the Tang Dynasty who were killed by the Japanese warriors.

"Alas, from now on, my Datang coastal area will not be appeased!" Chu Suiliang and Gao Shilian and other ministers sighed that they could better understand the importance of water steamers, and young and vigorous young men like Li Chengqian and Li Tai were now gritting their teeth and wanting to kill the Japanese country.

"Since the Japanese people have shown their fangs, they must be killed, but at the moment, they still have to deal with the affairs within the Tang Dynasty and southern Xinjiang, they are just the targets of the Liaodong and Lingnan sailors in the future." Yang Lin also hated the Japanese people in his heart, thousands of people in the three counties died under their butcher's knives, I am afraid that the court has exploded, Li Er must be regretting scolding his mother at this moment, since the Japanese country has already made a move on the Qin fleet of the Tang Dynasty, it should not just be expelled from the country, it should be cut down in Chang'an. It's all the trouble caused by those vain civil ministers, the majesty of the Celestial Empire, and the bullshit between the two countries.

Li Er is indeed scolding his mother. Not only because the Japanese envoys plundered the three small counties along the coast, but also because there was also a basket in Shandong, and the report that Zhu Gangguan, the viscount of Fanyang County, had killed Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was just sent by Liu Hongji. Zhu Gangguan was a subordinate of the Qincha who went to Shandong to open a supermarket on behalf of the imperial court's fleet, and Li Yuanji was the prince of Shandong. No matter what reason you have, you can't escape this crime, the civil and military officials of the imperial court don't actually need to influence Li Er's sentence at all, but the Li clan is constantly putting pressure on Li Er. It is required not only to kill Zhu Gang's nine clans, but also to punish the entire Shandong caravan.

Now among Li Yuan's sons, Li Yuanji is a veritable vassal king who controls the place, and even he is dead. The feudal system of the Tang Dynasty basically existed in name only. Although it will soon exist in name only, this cause is too funny, and Zhu Gangguan's status is so low that the emperor can use him lightly to eliminate the anger of his clansmen.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the civil and military officials walked out of the Taiji Hall with discussions, and Li Er softened his forehead and thought for a long time before getting up and driving the Changle Palace, where Li Yuan lived.

"Father, the son is guilty of failing to protect Yuanji's thoughtfulness." Li Er rarely bowed to Li Yuan, and refused to look up at Li Yuan's increasingly old face for a long time.

"What a wreck! "The old tearful Li Yuan's eyes were a little misty. When he got the news that Li Yuanji was killed, the first thing he thought of might be the poison of his second son. But in fact, Li Yuanji was just scared to death by the thunder in the hands of the Yanglin Guards, that thing was a wire-pulling grenade, but Yanglin replaced the charcoal in the black powder with sulfur, and the saltpeter with the nitric acid he refined in the small white building, the power of this new type of gunpowder has directly caught up with the smokeless gunpowder of later generations, and there are not many people made by Yanglin in the hand, only to Wang Erniu and Zhu Gangqian A few close principals, which are used to save their lives in a crisis, after all, the interior of the Tang Dynasty is not strictly organized, and there are Xiangma bandits in the north, There are water bandits in the south, and they want to go out of a safe and stable trade route, I am afraid it will not be possible to do it without these forces, but they didn't think about it, the Xiangma bandits did not dare to provoke them, but Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was red at the fresh goods in their hands, and asked them to take the initiative to offer no one to take care of him, so they sent the palace soldiers to rob, only a hundred guards Zhu Gangguan with bravery and how to fight thousands of palace soldiers, so he used firearms, in order to keep the water steamer from losing, and even used a thunderbolt, because protecting the water steamer is Yanglin's death order.

Zhu Gangguan never expected that the fist-sized thunder would have such a great power, which was not at all comparable to the black powder grenade used in training, he wanted to use the threat of the explosion to scare Li Yuanji, so he used the strength of his whole body to bring the grenade to the vicinity of Li Yuanji's location, who would have thought that after the huge explosion roared, Li Yuanji, whose body was not harmed, stared at him, vomited blood and died. The panicked Qi Wangfu's personal soldiers reported the situation to Liu Hongji, the general of Zhendong, and under Liu Hongji's army, Zhu Gangguan, who knew that he had caused a big disaster, had to be captured.

"Father, it's really not a child, Liu Hongji's recital makes it clear that Yuan Ji didn't suffer any injuries around him, he was scared to death by the roar of gunpowder explosions, this was just an accident!" Li Er explained with a bitter face.

"You have ascended the throne as the emperor, and you have obtained such a powerful weapon as gunpowder, you are invincible in the world, why bother to create these murders! Yuanji has been arrogant since he was a child, if you have some good things, you can just reward him, why, why, hey! Li Yuan obviously didn't believe that a small viscount would dare to attack a prince, and there must be Li Er's plan behind this.

"Father, you also know that your son is now the emperor, and he is not afraid of anyone if he gets gunpowder, why do you have to put your own brother to death, Yuanji's matter is indeed an accident, if he didn't shoot at the imperial fleet, the people of the fleet would not have been able to see him at all, and it was too much for the clan to ask the people to dispose of the entire fleet now, this is hundreds of lives!" Besides, they are all Xiaolinzi's people, one less, I'm afraid they will have to let that kid have a gap with my Li family, the clan relatives, see if you come forward to appease and give Xiaolinzi some face. ”

Li Er kept his mouth shut and didn't mention the head Zhu Gangguan, in fact, in his eyes, Zhu Gangguan was also mortal, as for the Nine Clans, it was impossible, Li Er had long wanted to abolish this law, and no one moved around the relatives who came out of the five suits, not to mention the Nine Clans, killing all the people with the same surname in the same country, at least before the Tang Dynasty, there was no emperor who did it.

"Even if I believe you, I have to believe in you all over the world! Bearing the charge of killing your brother and killing your brother, aren't you afraid of the infamy of the future generations? "Li Yuan, as an emperor with many heirs, is far from having a deep relationship with Li Yuanji, who has not seen him for many years, in fact, his desire for power has long faded, and now he is most worried about Li Tang's inheritance, the family that can be the emperor must be the most prominent, but if it declines, it will also perish completely, he doesn't want Li Tang to follow in the footsteps of the former Sui, so the inheritance of the clan is the thing he values the most.

"The son knows that the father is towards the son, as long as the father comes forward to appease the feelings of the clan, other things will be handed over to the son to deal with, whether it is the infamy of the ages, or the good name of the eternity, the son who should be borne will be carried, and there is no responsibility for how to become the emperor's ambition." Li Er was born with the demeanor of a leader, and his words in Changle Palace persuaded Li Yuan, and gave Li Yuan the right to walk freely in Chang'an City.

Li Yuan's work of appeasing and persuading was a long one, and Wang Erniu, who had rushed down from Hebei to Shandong, took over Zhu Gangguan's work, and Shandong's supermarket was still going to open.

Yang Lin was also very surprised after receiving the letter, fortunately, the food matter was over, he stayed in Yangzhou for a while, and after thinking the deck for half the night, he came up with a way to rescue Zhu Gangguan, and lamented when he was done: "Since you are destined to become a monk, then you should be your monk!" ”

What Yang Lin didn't expect was that Li Chengqian's brothers were very happy after hearing the news of Li Yuanji's death, and they were also very supportive of Yang Lin's plan to save Zhu Gangguan, it turned out that these two brothers were not less bullied by this uncle when they were still in the Qin Palace, so a clipper set off from Yangzhou, with a tall figure in Yangzhou, who resembled Zhu Gangguan, a death row prisoner who looked like Zhu Gangguan, the clipper intercepted the ship that escorted Zhu Gangguan to Chang'an for execution in Bianzhou, and after some operation, a death row prisoner who was cut off became Zhu Gangguan, And a freshly baked monk of the Eight Rings was born.

The monk Bajie was going to Chang'an to pick up some people related to him back to Fanyang Gaolaozhuang, Yanglin's fleet also went to Jiangnan with only half of the remaining goods, and in Yangzhou he left three million yuan worth of goods, which is also his capital to invest in various industries in Yangzhou, and the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, which invested four million yuan, became the second largest shareholder in this series of projects, including a complex of supermarkets and the Yangzhou branch of heaven and earth, and several factories suitable for opening branches in Huainan.

There is a new passenger on Yanglin's ship, that is, Lu Bingchang, who is getting better, now he is the chief treasurer of the merchant ship, and the state city that he has walked through in the future will be fully entrusted to him in terms of business operations, and Yanglin himself began to plan the affairs of the Huainan Sailor and the Lingnan Sailor, Feng Zhidai took seventy percent of the Huainan Sailor to Lingnan, and it is expected that he will arrive about half a year earlier than Yanglin, because Yanglin is going to enter the Yangtze River waterway and go to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, Feng Zhidai has a lot of things to be busy in this half a year, in addition to opening up docks and camps, It is also necessary to complete the construction of the Lingnan branch of the shipyard, and wait for Yanglin to sell out the goods in Jiangnan, and the fastest is the second half of the year, next year will be the year when Datang will comprehensively prepare for the attack on southern Xinjiang, that is to say, Datang's first navy with expeditionary capabilities will be born next year, and there is too much preparation to be done, so that Yanglin holds the pen every day to write to Feng Zhidai.
