"King Ning is the largest shareholder, and he is also operating the maritime trade." Li Jinglong said very simply, "There are also many partners. ”

"Who are they?" Li Qing asked.

Then he added, "I won't make it difficult for you, you don't have to tell me the vassal king, I can tell you clearly that the main object of the imperial court's action is the vassal king, and it will not strictly investigate the nobles." ”

"King Xiang, King Jing, King Huai, King Liang!" Li Jinglong said.

Li Qing's eyes narrowed: "It's all Zhanzi's generation?" ”

"Hmm." Li Jinglong nodded: "The reason why King Ning did this is that you can understand the deep meaning;

In fact, with the background of King Ning, he can even eat it himself, but he just pulled the son of the current emperor and shared so much profit, the purpose of which is to use them as a shield;

The proportion of dividends from those vassal kings is much more than mine. ”

Li Qing suddenly became interested, "How much do you occupy?" ”

"Half percent." Li Jinglong said, "The four vassal kings account for sixty percent, King Ning accounts for thirty percent, and the remaining half is Princess Yongping's concubine." ”

After a pause, "It's just a big head, and a small head, but then I don't know, it's all done by King Ning, but it's another system." ”

"Understood." Li Qing nodded, needless to say, he also knew that he was an official gentry.

But... This King Ning's stall is a bit big...... Li Qingxin said: When the time comes, you have to beat it well.

The four vassal kings of the descendants of Zhan were all canonized after Xiaopang ascended the throne last year, and King Ning was obviously premeditated.

Li Qing frowned, put aside the matter about King Ning for the time being, and asked, "Brother, you don't understand, King Ning is deliberately pulling you into the water, right?" ”

Li Jinglong didn't say whether he was a straw bag or not, but he was definitely not stupid, Li Qing didn't believe that he couldn't see it.

"Yes, but ...... I give you white flowers and silver, don't you want it? Li Jinglong smiled, "Brother, my heart is open, one, I only invest and do not interfere, two, I only account for half of the total;

Even if it is investigated, with my merits, the heavens are also blamed and punished, and it will not affect the foundation at all. ”

He smiled and said: "Besides, I joined after the imperial court issued a national policy, and in principle, I did not violate the law. ”

"You ......" Li Qing scratched his head, speechless.

Li Jinglong really didn't break the law, and it was difficult to implicate him if he really went online.

Coupled with Li Jinglong's outstanding performance in the Jing Disaster, it is impossible for Xiaopang to do something to him because of this little thing.

I think that at the beginning, 500,000 soldiers came to the city, Zhu Di was not there at that time, and Xiaopang was desperate;

Especially when Qu Neng's father and son both attacked, Xiaopang had the idea of martyrdom, but Li Laobiao gave an order and called people back.

For this, Chubby is grateful.

And when the prince was originally decided, Xiaopang also relied on the credit of defending the city to reluctantly obey the public.

It can be said that Xiaopang owes Li Jinglong a lot.

Li Qing groaned: "I can guarantee that the money you made before is still yours, but I can't guarantee whether you can continue to make money in the future." ”

"Come on." Li Jinglong nodded: "Anyway, my family is enough for future generations to squander, it's better to continue to make money, it's nothing if I can't make money,

You can rest assured, I can carry which one is light and which one is heavy, and I will not lose a big one because of a small one. ”

He sighed: "This Cao Guogong was born and died by my father, and I don't have any ability, but I can't bury his efforts." ”

Li Qing smiled and nodded: "Listen to people's persuasion, eat well, brother, you have a very promising future." ”

"Death side." Li Jinglong pursed his lips in disgust and complained: "For you, I always be a traitor." ”

"How can this be called a traitor?" Li Qingyi said in a righteous manner, "You are a righteous annihilation of 'relatives'." ”

"Roll ——!"

Li Qing was not angry, and said with a smile: "I'll come back tomorrow, let's have a drink." ”

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Zhanji's face was flushed, and he was seven points drunk, but he was conscious, half lying on the chair and soaking his feet, full of enjoyment.

"Where have you been?"

"Visit a good friend." There were no outsiders in the hall, and Li Qing was not polite, sitting opposite Zhu Zhanji, eating the snacks on the table, "I already have a plan." ”

"Huh~ What's this? I have that too. Zhu Zhanji snorted lightly, "I have asked the factory guard to dress up in disguise and go to find out the news, and I will be able to find out the source of goods in less than half a month, and then find out the person behind the scenes step by step." ”

Li Qing hehe: "I already know the vassal kings involved in the maritime trade. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanji got up suddenly, and because of too much drinking, he almost fell into the foot soaking barrel, "Who, who?" ”

"King Ning!"

"Well, I suspect it's him, too." Zhu Zhanji sat up straight, and then said, "You are nothing remarkable, he is already a major suspect, and I have asked someone to inform him to come to Nanjing." ”

"Not only King Ning, but also King Xiang, King Jing, King Huai, and King Liang!" Li Qing said.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji was really shocked, and said, "Uncle Qing, are you teasing me?"

This has just landed in Nanjing, how do you know? ”

Suddenly, he came back to his senses, "Except for King Ning, are they all my brothers?" ”

Li Qing nodded.

Zhu Zhanji's face was ugly, and he scolded: "King Ning is really yin, he actually tied them up, but... These people are really stupid, for some petty profits...... What a shame. ”

"That's not a small profit." Li Qing rolled his eyes: People are selfish, if you become a prince, you can inherit the big treasure in the future, people are just vassal kings, of course they will think about their own small family, this is normal!

"The house of ice felling, no cattle and sheep." Zhu Zhanji's eyes narrowed slightly, "The vassal kings are supported by the imperial court, if they still compete with the people for profit, it will be too much!" ”

"So you want to kill your relatives in righteousness?" Li Qing was surprised.

Zhu Zhanji said speechlessly: "You don't talk nonsense, even if you move the vassal king, you can't destroy it!"

Since Jianwen cut the domain, the nerves of the vassal king have been extremely sensitive, as long as they don't rebel, they can't be killed, let alone they are all my brothers. ”

He said angrily: "In your impression, am I so ruthless?" ”

"Not really, mainly because last time you said you were going to kill your second uncle." Li Qing laughed dryly.

"......" Zhu Zhanji's face was full of black lines, "When did I say that I was going to kill him, isn't that assuming that he rebelled and didn't know the current affairs, if he didn't kill him in that situation, wouldn't the vassal kings of the world be even more fearless?" ”

"Hmm...... Also. Li Qing asked, "So what are you going to do?" ”

"What else can I do, as I said before, call them in, and everyone open the skylight and say something." Zhu Zhanji said, "Let them do a multiple-choice question;

or give up the clan identity and continue to do business; Either give up maritime trade and continue to be a vassal king. ”

"Where's Xungui?" Li Qing asked again.

"Xungui ......" Zhu Zhanji was a little undecided, "What do you think?" ”

Li Qing didn't hesitate: "It's the same as the vassal king!" ”

"I'm afraid this won't work, right?" Zhu Zhanji hesitated, "Although the nobles have a lower status than the vassal kings, they have real power, especially the nobles who have not retired;

Now they are all looking at the fat meat of maritime trade, once they do this, I am afraid that the army will be unstable! ”

Li Qing snorted: "Then have you ever thought that once the nobles are allowed to trade, the result will inevitably be that the nobles and the gentry come together?" ”

Zhu Zhanji was silent for a moment: "I have to ask my father for the emperor's opinion on this matter." ”

"Well, there's no rush for this moment." Li Qing bowed, "Let's start with the vassal king." ”

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Li Qing, "Uncle Qing, where did you get this information, right?" ”

"It has to be accurate!"

"You've got to give me a convincing reason, right?" Zhu Zhanji said helplessly, "It's just King Ning, those are my siblings!" ”

"Your cousin told me." Li Qingdao.

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who the so-called cousin was talking about.

At the time of the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Zhanji had just been born, but later learned about the deeds of this cousin from his father.

He also knew that the Battle of Jingjing, this cousin had made a great contribution!

"That shouldn't be wrong, I'll send someone to inform a few of them later." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly." ”

"That's because of me." Li Qing's tone was light, and he was very high.

Damn, he pretended to be ...... again Zhu Zhanji is very unhappy: Since he is born, why is he born?

At this moment, he empathized with Zhou Yu in the romance.

……

Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

Li Qing fetched a basin of water and cleaned up a side room.

Although he hadn't lived for a long time, it wasn't very dirty, because he gave the key to Li Jinglong, who would have someone clean it every once in a while.

After being busy, Li Qing bought some daily necessities again, and it was not until the evening that he officially settled down.

Li Qing brought a chair and sat under the fruit tree to take a nap.

The courtyard is full of vitality, the air is filled with the fragrance of leaves, and the orange sunset hangs on Qixia Mountain, which is infinitely beautiful.

That's good, that's good...... Li Qing said softly: "After two years of being busy, I will settle here with Wanling and them, and when the time comes, in the name of recruiting servants, I will also call Master and Xiao Xiaozhu." ”

He had expectations on his face, "Everyone is doing well, going through the last journey well." ”

After so many years, people have 'walked' one stubble after another, and there are few people who still remember Zhu Yunwen, even Li Jinglong, it is difficult to recognize Zhu Yunwen.

More than twenty years is too long for the average person, long enough to completely blur an impressive person.

What's more, Zhu Yunwen has changed so much.

Even Zhu Di, who dreams of Zhu Yunwen all day long, would not have recognized him without Li Qing's reminder, let alone others.

Li Qing sighed lightly: "He has suffered a lot over the years, and he is not young anymore, so let him enjoy a few days of happiness." ”

……

Imagining a better life after retirement, the corners of Li Qing's mouth flashed with a happy smile, full of yearning.

Time slips away inadvertently, and when I come back to my senses, the sun has set, the sky is dark, and night is approaching.

It seems to indicate that even the most beautiful things will eventually fade away......
