The two rode straight to the direction of Yangguan, the white shopkeeper looked at the scene in front of him but suddenly did not feel infiltrated at all, they were Tang businessmen, they felt too deeply, over the years, they have been bullied by these horse thieves in the Western Regions too many times, and the black mountain thief is the most ruthless one among them, maybe the black mountain thief himself has long forgotten, or maybe only the white shopkeeper himself knows.

Although he knew the Black Mountain Thieves, one of his nephews died at the hands of the Black Mountain Thieves, and this hatred he never forgot.

took out the wine bag from his horse, turned over and dismounted, walked to the writing stone, faced the Tang Army flag, opened the wine bag directly, and respectfully saluted His Royal Highness the King Qin of the Tang Dynasty.

After doing this, the white shopkeeper returned to the horse, turned to the fast horse that came from the road, and he was in a good mood when he went back, because the white shopkeeper knew that from today onwards, the sky in the Western Regions was about to change!

When Li Zhang got the news, it was already the next day, if it wasn't for the white shopkeeper to send the news back, Li Zhang would not have known so quickly, he is considered the head snake here, and he naturally knows very well.

Like this kind of frontier area, in fact, the power of the gate lord family has far more influence than Chang'an City, for example, the garrison near Dunhuang County, in fact, it depends on his Li Zhang's face, although Li Zhang has never done that, but in fact, the generals of these garrisons are very polite to him.

Li Zhang almost left Chang'an with Li Ke, and when he came back this time, he naturally wanted to get closer to Li Ke.

"You go and contact General An Ren Shou'an, tell him what happened here, and ask him to send craftsmen to Yangguan to find a huge stone to engrave the above handwriting on it, and pass on the inheritance of eternity." Li Zhang pondered for a moment and directly ordered his eldest son, Li Lin, to speak.

"Yes, Father. But...... Isn't it good for us to intervene in this? And this is the work of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, if we get too close, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......" Li Lin hesitated for a moment.

"Stupid!" Li Zhang directly reprimanded Li Lin angrily.

"Father?" Li Lin was stunned for a moment, didn't he Aya like to analyze these with him very much? This is.......

"When did the prince's affairs have anything to do with you? Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if the five surnames and Qiwang, as well as other gate valves in the world, want to get close to the prince, but it has nothing to do with our Longxi Li family, at least it has nothing to do with our Dunhuang room. Li Zhang glared and said, "Also, don't mention this in front of others in the future." ”

"Father...... Why is that? Li Lin was a little surprised, what did his father mean by this......

"Let me ask you, my Longxi Li clan is a royal family, to a certain extent, as long as we don't make mistakes, the family won't have problems, right?" Li Zhang asked with a cold face.

"Yes." Li Lin nodded.

"That's right, but the Li family in Longxi is too big, and the Zheng family in Xingyang is the best example, and the Li family in Longxi is not the same as the Zheng family in Xingyang, we have their own territory between each house, and the Zheng family in Xingyang is almost concentrated in Xingyang, but our Li family in Longxi benefits from the royal clan, and we have the territory of each room, and we have a Dunhuang room, you must remember one thing." Li Zhang looked at Li Lin.

"If you keep your own one-third of an acre of land, there will be absolutely no problems, and Chang'an is not something we can interfere with." Li Zhang's expression was very calm, "Do you know why my father went to Chang'an this time, why did he suddenly apply for a gold membership of Youjian Mall?" ”

"Stupid." Li Lin bent down and said.

"Because during my time in Chang'an, I found that the undercurrent in Chang'an was turbulent, and there was first His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Yue (non-typo) Li Tai competing for favor, although all the ministers of the court followed His Royal Highness's humerus, and they didn't seem to stand in line, but in fact, the eldest sons of the courtiers have secretly connected with these princes, and Li Tai is even more favored."

Last year, he was named the general of Zuowu Marquis, and he was also awarded the post of Yongzhou Mu ("Old Tang Dynasty Book Geographical Chronicles" Yongzhou is Jingzhao Mansion). And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been abnormal during this time, but more and more low-key, although for unknown reasons, but presumably this is also the strategy of His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, His Majesty favors Li Tai at the same time, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to fight, then as a brother, he will inevitably end up with a reputation of not knowing how to respect the superior and pity, and as the prince, he will fall into a hat that does not understand the overall situation and has no tolerance for people, and these words will affect the image in His Majesty's mind for the prince. ”

Li Zhang sighed and gave Li Lin a little explanation.

"This ...... Is it so difficult to be a prince? Li Lin was a little dumbfounded.

Looking at the appearance of his eldest son, Li Zhang was a little helpless, you are lucky, Lao Tzu does not have many sons, otherwise, do you think our family will fight worse than the royal family? Hard? Needless to say, that is the future king of a country, if you don't have a strong heart, how can you control the court?! So you can only withstand these pressures!

"However, the most prominent reputation in Chang'an recently is not Shu ...... His Royal Highness the King of Qin? Li Lin couldn't help but ask.

"You know the." Li Zhang couldn't help but scold, "Can His Royal Highness King Qin be the same as the two of them?" His Royal Highness the King of Qin is making trouble again, firstly, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is so temperamental, and secondly, if His Royal Highness the King of Qin is there, it is impossible for him to become the crown prince, so His Majesty is willing to let His Royal Highness the King of Qin indulge a little, after all, His Royal Highness feels that he owes His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”

"Besides, these things made by His Royal Highness King Qin seem to be gaining fame, but isn't it self-preservation? The crown prince and the king of Yue are vying for the throne, although the situation is not obvious, but there are already signs of this, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has a reckless personality, so if His Royal Highness the King of Qin wants to protect himself, there are only two ways, either like other princes, reduce his sense of existence, and then stand in line directly. Either that, self-preservation. ”

"Self-preservation is nothing more than self-defilement, His Majesty in the seventh year of Zhenguan named the eldest grandson Wuji as commonplace, why did the eldest grandson Wuji shirk again and again? His Majesty knew that Zhenguan had been crowned again in the eighth year of Zhenguan, and he agreed to it? Isn't it just for taboos? His Royal Highness King Qin is a prince, and he is different from these ministers, so his best way is to give His Majesty, to the ministers, and to the prince's hands. ”

"Since ancient times, anyone who is not a prince, an ambitious prince who dares to save his reputation and prestige will inevitably be alerted, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin is like this, why doesn't Your Majesty care, why doesn't the prince care?" Li Zhang asked a few questions.

"This ...... The sons are stupid. Li Lin was a little embarrassed, he asked himself that he had been knowledgeable since he was a child, but the first time he talked to him about these things after his father came back, he felt that he couldn't understand it.

"Several reasons, the first is that although His Royal Highness King Qin has gained fame, His Royal Highness King Qin has offended all the gate valve families and court ministers, and these people constitute the most important power network of the entire Tang Dynasty, that is to say, His Royal Highness the King of Qin himself will take himself out first, he wants to take the throne, no minister will support it, if it is said that before, the ministers of the previous dynasty may have supported him, but now I am afraid that it may not be, because His Royal Highness the King of Qin's behavior affects all the gate valve families! You must know that His Royal Highness King Qin's maiden family, Hongnong Yang, is also a family of gate valves! ”

"It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for His Royal Highness King Qin to enter this circle of contention, so His Royal Highness King Qin wants to protect himself in this situation and avoid the new emperor from ascending the throne in the future, what should those ministers do if they find him to settle accounts?" Li Zhang looked at Li Lin and asked.

"Reputation?" Li Lin replied tentatively.

"It's okay, it's not that stupid, His Royal Highness's research and development of the Quyuan plow, the reform of the relevant laws of non-compiling households, as well as the labor law proposed by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, giving honorary titles to craftsmen, improving papermaking, printing, these piles, one by one, with the passage of time, will inevitably spread all over the world, and I don't know how many people in the world have set up immortal tablets for His Royal Highness King Qin."

"In this case, this kind of prestige, not to mention the gate valve family, even the new emperor can't move His Royal Highness! Whoever moves, not to mention the situation in the world, will be stinking for 10,000 years! Li Zhang said lightly.
