Chapter 32: The Horse Banquet

The prince invited all the horses, and these horses naturally did not give face.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. The prince suddenly sighed and said, "He Xi is not here today. It's a bit of a flaw. ”

Others haven't felt anything yet. Fu Zhong's face changed slightly, although he had covered it up.

Sure enough, talents are often exercised. Today's Fu Zhong is more successful than Fu Zhong in history. There was a great victory in Baishijiang, and there were a few back-and-forth between life and death. The understanding of things and military affairs has been much deeper. What's more, with this credit. Fu Youde promoted his son, and others couldn't say anything.

If there is no foundation for this battle. Even if Fu Youde wanted to promote his son, it was impossible for him to lead the army independently.

And without the power to lead the troops independently, Fu Zhong can only be someone's deputy. There are many things that you will never understand if you don't experience them. During Fu Zhong's independent leadership of the army, he also had many problems, but fortunately, he was taken care of by his father and assisted by his retainers. Now it's an experience.

Although it is better than Mu Ying, Lan Yu is still waiting for it. But among the young generals, Fu Zhong can be regarded as a figure.

I have been trained to reach the level of human affection, and I have slowly exercised it.

It's just that Fu Zhong is still haunted by He Xi's events back then. Although now he is also considered a colt. But Princess Anqing's concubine is still different from Princess Shouchun's concubine. And it's not a concubine or not. In Fu Zhong's opinion, Princess Anqing is much stronger than Princess Shouchun.

Of course, Princess Anqing is the youngest daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma. In the palace, even the princes did not dare to offend. When she said that she taught King Lu a lesson, she taught King Lu a lesson. In a feudal dynasty, this is not just something that a sister can do.

And Princess Shouchun? It was born to a princess and concubine. The status of the mother is not high, although Queen Ma treats everyone equally. But a lot of things are different. It's not that Princess Shouchun has been wronged in the palace. It's just two different situations, and the people who have been cultivated are even completely different.

Princess Anqing is atmospheric and naïve. And Princess Shouchun is of course gentle and lovely. But he is too observant and cautious.

If there is no Princess Anqing, Zhuyu is in front. Fu Zhong may not have felt anything. But now there is this matter in his chest, and Fu Zhong almost heard it and saw Princess Anqing. Or Princess Shouchun. A thought crossed his mind.

If you -----

As for what if? It's not enough for outsiders.

It's just that Fu Zhong has restrained his expression now. Don't dare to show a trace. He himself told himself that a lot of things were over. He Xi is popular, and for the impossible, he made a feud with He Xi. It's really not a good deal. But deep down, I felt that even Fu Zhong couldn't disobey it.

Others don't have Fu Zhong's emotions.

Mei Yin said: "Compared with Brother He, I know in Ningbo that if the prince is concerned, he is also grateful to Dade." It's just His Majesty the Crown Prince, do you know what He Xi is doing? ”

Mei Yin also intended to pave the way for the prince, and followed the prince's words. After all, many people know that the prince will not do things for no reason, and there must be something wrong today. But I don't know what is going on.

Mei Yin saw that the prince had a reason. Naturally pave the way and see what the prince wants to say.

The prince said: "Actually, it's a big deal. It's just that the court is using too much now. My father is not ready to issue treasure money. Always find a way to add some gaps. He Xi volunteered, saying that the operation of sea trade could fill the gap in the imperial court, and in the former Song Dynasty, maritime trade could earn millions of yuan. At one point, there were even tens of millions, which is a lot of money. Naturally, my father agreed. But now he's in trouble. ”

Mei Yin said: "What is the difficulty? ”

The prince said, "This sea is in turmoil. The prince explained the situation a little. With a sigh, he said, "This trade on the sea can't be messed around. Otherwise, the dragon and snake on the sea will rise together, and maybe what kind of thing will be done, Fang Guozhen will only start as a pirate at the beginning. However, if it is not let go, let the merchant ships be armed, and it is better to have some more firearms. No one can do serious business. ”

"But with these, isn't that a private soldier at sea?"

"He Xi is worried about this matter."

The prince finished speaking. There was silence below.

No one spoke for a while, and they were all slowly recalling the meaning of the prince's words.

The prince asked; "Brother Li. Do you give him an idea? What should I do? It can not only get things done, but also make the court feel at ease. ”

Li Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the minister doesn't know what to do?" However, if you think about it, it is better to use trustworthy people. ”

This is the right nonsense.

However, Li Qi, as the son of Li Shanchang, many times, it is better to be cautious, who knows what will be said next. Some correct nonsense, at least it won't get into trouble.

The prince said, "Yes, you must use trustworthy people in everything." Your own people are always trustworthy. ”

The prince looked at Li Qi and seemed to have said a correct nonsense. But the prince and Li Qi looked at each other, Li Qi's heart suddenly moved, and he said secretly: "It turned out to be here." ”

Li Qi is the son carefully cultivated by Li Shanchang, and he has already touched a few pulses at this moment.

It's just that this matter is not up to him. Li Qi could only raise his glass from afar and drink with the prince.

However, these words attracted Lu Xian's attention. Lu Xian actually didn't have that much thought. This is also a different family study, Li Shanchang is an old fox, the first strategist of the Ming Dynasty. If it is just a means of conspiracy, Zhu Yuanzhang may not be able to compare with Li Shanchang.

But no matter how you fight, in the end, it is the strength of both sides that determines the victory.

This is the reason why Li Shanchang was forced to go home by Zhu Yuanzhang to retire. But when Li Shanchang retreated, he was actually only about sixty. As a politician, is this old? But if you say you're old, you're old.

Li Qi was cultivated by Li Shanchang. There are still basic scheming methods. But Lu Joong-hyung is different. The reason why he is where he is today has something to do with his background, as a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. In times of war, there is no need to think about what you don't have. In terms of treatment, it is generally the best. And Lu Zhongheng himself dared to fight and kill. Trained on the battlefield.

But for political sensitivity, it's not so good.

He was close to Li Shanchang, in fact, because Li Shanchang took care of him very much at the beginning. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang has a lot of things, he is busy with major affairs, and it is not good for him to come forward in person when he has time for the contradictions between generals. Because as soon as he comes forward, there is no room for manoeuvre below. There will be a price to pay.

Therefore, there is a contradiction between the generals. In many cases, it is Li Shanchang who is responsible for mediation and pacification. As for whether Li Shanchang was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, or whether Li Shanchang wanted to make connections, it is never clear.

Most likely, it's both.

This is why Li Shanchang has a deep foundation in the army.

Lu Zhongheng himself didn't think about why Li Shanchang favored him everywhere in the army. Instead, he remembered Li Shanchang's words. For decades, it has become a habit to be close to the Li family. And with Li Shanchang's means, network these people. It's as simple as eating and drinking.

The same goes for Lu Xian.

Even Lu Xian is a little stronger than his father, after all, Lu Xian studied hard. But many doorways, there are already delicate relationships, and Lu Xian doesn't feel much. However, Lu Xian is very sensitive to money. This may be Lu Zhongheng's family education.

After all, I was poor and scared at the beginning. Now that you are rich, you naturally want to enjoy more and make more money.

But Ji'an Hou, with a thousand stones a year, where can he support the luxurious life that the Lu family wants. Similarly, Lu Zhongheng also knows Zhu Yuanzhang. I dare not violate Zhu Yuanzhang's law, but the real profitable business is written in the criminal law, which is the same in ancient and modern times.

Lu Zhongheng is not a person who can make money. Let him let his horses go to war. No problem at all, let him make money. He's only going to take it. But I didn't dare.

So the Lu family has been having a hard time. Of course this kind of bitterness haha, who is that compared to? Compared with the common people, it is naturally a hair heavier than their family. But among the nobles, then no.

So when Lu Xian heard that he was rich, he could make money? Interest came immediately.
