Because of Fang Yuan's choice of fiefdom, Li Shimin's originally very resistant mentality has changed.

Lingnan Road is too backward, so far away from Chang'an City, and there are often wars there, and the imperial court management is time-consuming and laborious.

If Lingnan is given to Fang Yuan as a fief, if Fang Yuan is well governed, Lingnan will truly belong to a part of the Tang Dynasty.

"What title do you want?"

After pondering for a long time, Li Shimin finally decided to crown Fang Yuan as king.

"I am the Duke of Zhou, then please make me the King of Zhou."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

He has a soft spot for the word Zhou.

"You go back, I'll make a decision soon."

Li Shimin has already made a decision in his heart.

But I was afraid that I would regret it, and I wanted to delay it for a few days.

"The minister retired."

Fang Yuan didn't know Li Shimin's mood.

I just think he doesn't want to make himself king.

So he left without saying anything else.

Three full days passed, and Li Shimin finally made a decision.

[Feng Fangyuan is the king of Zhou! ] 】

As soon as the news came out, the world shook, and a king with a different surname was born.

People couldn't believe it, but it was real, Fang Yuan was really crowned king.

However, after learning that Fang Yuan's fiefdom was Lingnan, people's excitement changed.

"Your Majesty is really wise, the king is sealed, but it is Lingnan, and he is comfortable."

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled happily when he learned about it.

Although Du Miaoyan was moved when he talked to him about the opportunity, he didn't want Fang Yuan to be crowned king.

After all, the relationship with Fang Yuan is very poor, Fang Yuan is not good for himself if he is crowned king, the only good thing is that he breaks the convention, and he will have a chance in the future.

But he was still not happy with the king of Fang Yuanfeng.

Now, Fang Yuan's fiefdom is Lingnan, and the eldest grandson Wuji is instantly happy.

Okay, it's really a good place, Fang Yuan is destined to be frightened by the situation in Lingnan when he goes to Lingnan, and maybe he will be killed by the locals in the end.

"Husband, why is the back cover Lingnan?!"

After Du Miaoyan learned about the situation of the fiefdom, the happiness of the king suddenly dissipated.

Lingnan is too desolate, it is a place where prisoners are sent to the past, but the fief is in Lingnan, and this king is so aggrieved.

"Don't get excited, this is what I want."

Fang Yuan soothed her emotions and said with a smile.

At the same time, Fang Yuan also called Su Ziqing and the others and told them that the fiefdom Lingnan was requested by himself.

"Husband, why?"

"Lingnan is so desolate and backward!"

Du Miaoyan and the others asked puzzled.

To go to Lingnan, it is better to move to Future Island.

From Chang'an City to Lingnan, the road is long, and it takes half a month to go back and forth.

In this way, it is different from what I thought at the beginning, and there is no fun brought by being crowned king at all.

"There are several reasons."

"First, Lingnan is close to the sea and has a good geographical location, which is suitable for overseas development."

"Second, Lingnan is desolate, and the people are not concerned with the imperial court, which is suitable for us to truly master Lingnan."

"Third, I like Lingnan, I have an extraordinary affection for Lingnan and want to change Lingnan."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The first two are for development considerations.

The latter is Fang Yuan, who is a part of Lingnan in later generations.

Returning home, this is everyone's dream, and Fang Yuan is no exception.

"In this way, I think Lingnan is the best place."

Du Miaoyan's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt that Lingnan was good.

After they are all crowned kings, they have to consider the issue of independence.

Of course, this independence is not to break away from the Tang Dynasty, but to be the real king in the fief.

In Datang, it may be that the Lingnan area is the most suitable for development, and there has been no invasion by foreign enemies.

"Don't tell outsiders, just let them think we're at a loss."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Now many people are unhappy with themselves.

But after knowing that his fiefdom is Lingnan, he should be less unhappy.

has not left Chang'an City yet, there is no need to mess with too many ministers.

After all, I won't be in Chang'an City in the future, and I hope they will say less bad things about themselves.

Otherwise, the emperor will be worried about himself, which is somewhat bad.

"I understand!"

"What is the husband's arrangement?"

Du Miaoyan nodded and asked.

"I'll take care of the rest."

Fang Yuan said with confidence.

Next, Fang Yuan cooperated with the imperial court to prepare for the title of king.

The crowning of the king is a major event, second only to the emperor's accession to the throne and the canonization of the crown prince, even marrying the queen is not so grand.

Under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, it took a whole month to reluctantly make the process and the procedures that should be made.

After worshipping heaven and earth and other processes, Fang Yuan officially became the king of Zhou, the only living king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at Fang Yuan's majestic appearance in a python robe, the ministers had different expressions and unconsciously lowered their heads.

This is the king, even the crown prince does not dare to go too far, second only to the emperor.

Far away in Wuling County.

"The teacher is officially crowned king, and after the incompetence comes in person, I will deduct my favor from the teacher again!"

Zhang Ji has already secured the position of the county commander of Wuling County.

Among the resources left by Fang Yuan, he did not have the same pockets as in Shandong.

Almost as soon as he took office, he grasped real power and began to govern a large county like Wuling County.

On this day, Fang Yuan was crowned king, and he had no way to congratulate him in person, so he could only bow down in the direction of Chang'an City in the county yali in this way.

In fact, it was not that he couldn't ask for leave, but Fang Yuan gave him the task of building a road from Wuling County to Lingnan as soon as possible.

Fang Yuan's fief was in Lingnan, and Zhang Ji naturally knew what it meant to build this road, so he didn't dare to slack off.

It is easy to build roads near Wuling County, so you can consult with local officials.

With Fang Yuan supporting on it, no one dares not to give face.

But after entering Lingnan, it is different.

Lingnan officials agreed, but Lingnan officials disagreed.

This made it difficult for Zhang Ji to carry out his work, and he could only intercede while explaining the benefits and so on, so that he could personally direct the construction of the road.

There is also the Zhou Palace in Lingnan, Zhang Ji also planned with the officials in Lingnan, hoping to make a Zhou Palace that satisfied Fang Yuan.

Chang'an City, Fangfu.

Fang Yuan was dressed in full costume, and after returning to the Fang Mansion, he couldn't help but sit down on the stool.

It's so tiring that this ritual comes down, and both legs are no longer their own.

The complicated and cumbersome etiquette is really overwhelming, I really don't know why they are so complicated!

"Lord Wang, Chitose!"

Du Miaoyan arrived with Su Ziqing and the others, and said with a smile.

On this day, Du Miaoyan, Su Ziqing, Gao Xiangyu and others were all dressed up.

They are all rare beauties, and after dressing up, they look even more captivating and stunning in the world.

"Happy today, this king allows the three of you to accompany you tonight!"

Fang Yuan's tired body suddenly became rejuvenated.

They are all beautiful women, it is impossible not to be impressed, and they are tempted now.

But it's still daylight, and there are still people in the house to entertain, so I can only hold back if I have ideas.

"Husband, what are you talking nonsense?"

Du Miaoyan's three daughters blushed suddenly, and they wanted to escape.

"I have already raised the quota of the princess, and the Ministry of Rites will issue you uniforms when you go back."

Fang Yuan smiled and changed the subject.

After Fang Yuan was crowned queen, the choice of the princess was determined by Fang Yuan.

In addition to the main concubine being the main wife, there can be many side concubines, no longer two.

"Husband, did Wang Shiyu mention it?"

Du Miaoyan asked suddenly.

"No, I haven't seen her in a few days."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

Wang Shiyu said before that he would let him marry her when he came back.

But after she came back, she had a lot of things to do, and the two rarely got along alone.

At the same time, Wang Shiyu didn't mention it anymore, and Fang Yuan was too busy to forget.

The two of them have no husband and wife name, and the other is not husband and wife, how can Fang Yuan mention her name?

"I'll ask her what she means."

Du Miaoyan said in a deep voice.

Wang Shiyu and the others are now in Fang Mansion, and they all came to congratulate Fang Yuan.

Later, she asked Wang Shiyu if she still wanted to marry Fang Yuan and join the Fang family.

Next, Fang Yuan entertained the guests and entertained the guests, which did not end until the evening.

On this day, Fang Yuan was also very happy, drinking a lot of wine, and he was dazed.

originally wanted Du Miaoyan and the three of them to serve themselves together tonight.

But when he was drunk, Fang Yuan also lightened his heart and fell asleep by himself.

In a daze, Fang Yuan felt that someone had climbed onto his bed and was lying on top of him.

The fragrance on her body was different from that of Du Miaoyan and the others, Fang Yuan opened his eyes, only to find that the candlelight had been blown out.

And so the night passed.

The next day, Fang Yuan got up refreshed and was immediately stunned.

The one who slept on the other side of him turned out to be Wang Shiyu!

She slept half-on her stomach, her long hair obscuring most of the spring light, but revealing a skin that was firm and powerful, with curves that were intriguing.

"You, you're awake?!"

Wang Shiyu suddenly opened his eyes and saw Fang Yuan looking at him.

In an instant, her face turned crimson, and she pulled the quilt over and shrunk into the quilt.

"What happened last night?"

Fang Yuan was a man after all, and soon showed a man's smile.

He reached out and grabbed the quilt, wanting to lift the quilt to look at Wang Shiyu.

But Wang Shiyu clung to it, refused to use both hands, and didn't show it to Fang Yuan.

"You go out first, I'll get dressed."

Wang Shiyu hid in the quilt and whispered.

Fang Yuan tried to pull it several times in his life, but he couldn't pull it open, but in the end, he didn't use it.

It's normal to be shy, and all of her old men are shy, let alone a girl?

Fang Yuan was no longer reluctant, and found his own clothes on the bed to put on.

When I got out of bed, I found that there was a touch of crimson in the middle of the bed.

With a light sigh in his heart, Fang Yuan walked out of the room.

"Husband, did you sleep soundly last night?"

Du Miaoyan came with a wicked smile.

She woke up for a while and came over to find Fang Yuan for breakfast.

But Fang Yuan hadn't woken up yet, so she played martial arts in the courtyard.

After seeing Fang Yuan wake up, he restrained his martial arts and walked towards Fang Yuan.

"Did you do a good job?"

"I slept in a daze last night and didn't feel anything."

Fang Yuan pinched Du Miaoyan's face.

However, thinking of last night, Fang Yuan didn't feel nothing, but it wasn't so real.

Du Miaoyan smiled, did not deny it, and regarded it as an admit.

Not long after, the door opened again, and Wang Shiyu came out.

As soon as she saw Fang Yuan, she blushed again, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Fang Yuan.

As soon as she remembered what happened last night, she wanted to find a crack to get into.

She also drank a lot of wine last night, and at the instigation of Du Miaoyan, she sent herself to Fang Yuan's bed.

"Husband, poetry, let's have breakfast."

Du Miaoyan said with a smile.

Pull Fang Yuan and Wang Shiyu to breakfast.

This was Fang Yuan's first breakfast after being crowned king, and everyone was there.

Today's weather is obviously a little different, and everyone's expressions are much brighter.

Among them, Princess Xiangcheng was picked up yesterday, returned to the Horse Mansion last night, and rushed to Fang Yuan here this morning.

Li Ke has already left Chang'an City, and the matter of Princess Xiangcheng's pregnancy has not been exposed, and there is no need to continue to hide.

Of course, before Princess Xiangcheng's belly is revealed, Princess Xiangcheng still has to be taken away.

Therefore, the future island or Lingnan Palace must at least be suitable for living before the belly of Princess Xiangcheng is revealed.

Wang Shiyu kept her head down for breakfast, not daring to look up, because someone had been looking at her with a smile and feeling very uncomfortable.

I guess it's because of last night's incident, and now everyone feels how they feel.

"Ahem, that, Fang Yuan, isn't it time for the Second Silk Road to begin?"

Wang Shiyu couldn't bear it, so she could only take the initiative to open her mouth and change the topic.

"It's really ready to start, are you going to go again this time?"

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and said.

It has been nearly two months since Wang Shiyu came back.

I went there about once every three months, and now I'm almost ready to go.

It always takes some time to prepare the goods, and one month is just right.

"That's for sure, I love trade!"

Wang Shiyu nodded heavily.

She loves to trade and she loves to go to sea.

The free wind, and the choppy waves, are so charming.

"If you like, then go ahead with you."

"But this time may be different from the last time, they will arrange their own people to come."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

If you like to do what you like, do it.

But the second Silk Road is destined to be different from the first.

For the first time, there were only Wang Shiyu and his own security team, and Wang Shiyu was the leader.

But now, in addition to the two ships that are completely Fang Yuan's, there are two more ships that belong to the emperor, and three that belong to the ministers.

In this case, it is not certain whether Wang Shiyu can be completely in charge, maybe they all have their own ideas.

"If you don't say I've forgotten that."

"But I have experience and channels, and they should all listen to me."

Wang Shiyu's face slowly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice.

Indeed, this time will be different from the last time, and it may not be so easy.

But they have experience and have also opened up sales channels in the Western Regions, and if they want to sell their own things, they have to listen to themselves.

"Hopefully."

Fang Yuan felt that it was a little difficult.

But Wang Shiyu wants to go, so let's go.

If it doesn't work, after the port on the Lingnan side is built in the future, the Lingnan team will be handed over to Wang Shiyu to take care of.

"Master, there is an urgent letter from you, and there is no signature."

The dog arrived and presented Fang Yuan with an unsigned letter.

Fang Yuan was a little surprised, but he still took it and opened it.

At first glance, Fang Yuan's face showed joy, but he soon frowned.

Du Miaoyan and the others noticed the change in Fang Yuan's expression, and they all looked at Fang Yuan curiously.

"Looks like I'm going to the Western Regions too."

Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he handed the letter to Du Miaoyan on the side.

Du Miaoyan's expression was also similar to Fang Yuan's, first showing joy and then frowning.
