What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

Chapter 141

When Princess Xincheng saw the news, she simply didn't know what to say.She is not a political novice, she really thinks that Li Jingye is wholeheartedly for Li Xian.If it was really for Li Xian, Li Jingye should have gone to Fangling to rescue Li Xian first, instead of shouting to restore Li Xian as he is doing now, but in the end he did not take any actual action.This puts Li Xian in danger. If Li Xian is not the real son of Empress Wu, I am afraid that Empress Wu will immediately issue an order to kill Li Xian. It depends on who you support!

Princess Xincheng sneered, and said, "What a hero, Lord Yingying, who ended up with such unworthy descendants!"

Li Yue muttered in her heart, she is loyal, but she is not foolish and loyal!This Tang Dynasty can have the current situation, Li Ji has made a lot of effort. Back then, the emperor promised the heroes below to rest with the country. As a result, Li Jingye felt that he had done nothing wrong and was about to be exiled Liuzhou, a dignified British prince, was exiled in Liuzhou to be a Sima.What kind of official is this? Well, in the pipa business, Bai Juyi is Jiangzhou Sima.The so-called Sima is actually an assistant officer, a substitute, similar to the secretarial consultants of later generations. When the chief officer above you is temporarily vacant, you can act on your behalf, but under normal circumstances, this is a idle job.It's fine if it's a prosperous place, the treatment is pretty good after all, but what the hell is Liuzhou, where it's bad luck to be the governor of the county, let alone a Sima!

Moreover, if it really fell into such a remote place, the contacts left by Li Ji would not be able to influence there. The imperial court could use any means to make Li Jingye "unacceptable". It is no wonder that Li Jingye is willing!

Since they don't want to die, they naturally have to respond accordingly. The most direct way is nothing more than treason.After all, rebellion is death, and not rebellion is death. If you rebel, you might be able to make a fortune. Under such circumstances, Li Jingye doesn't care whether the banner he raised will cause Li Xian any trouble. , it would be best if Li Xian died, and Li Jingye had even more reason to fight for the king!

"Fifteen Lang, what are your plans?" Princess Xincheng suddenly looked at Li Yue with burning eyes, "If you go by sea, the Minyue army will be able to advance to Yangzhou in three days at most!"

Li Yue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed a wry smile, and said, "Sister, I'm afraid Luoyang is more worried about the clan than the courtiers plotting rebellion! Without the order of the imperial court king, my actions are a little bigger. Someone will have an idea, what will it be like then?"

Princess Xincheng was dumbfounded when she heard it. That's right, although Datang didn't directly raise the vassal kings like pigs like they did in the Ming Dynasty, they still have vigilance against the vassal kings. After all, the people of the old Li family , there are too many rebels, although some rebels just created loneliness, like Li Shimin's son Li You, who killed his own teacher, and finally a hundred or eighty people dared to shout rebellion, in fact, they were stronger bandits The cottage is stronger than what he holds.The reason why Li Yue has been able to stay out of the court system and live comfortably for so many years is not because of anything else, but because he doesn't get involved in things that he shouldn't get involved in. Now he Seeing that he was about to run away directly, how could he be willing to make extra troubles.

Li Yue comforted and said: "Sister, don't worry. Although Li Jingye is a general, he has only limited battles. The most important thing is that he can deceive ordinary people with his ideas, but how can he deceive those smart people?" , He said he was King Qin, but he was actually plotting against him! So, there will not be many people who are willing to follow him! When the court reacts, it will soon be suppressed!"

Princess Xincheng sneered and said: "Fifteen Lang, don't fool me. Although I am a woman, I have read a lot of books. The so-called instigator has no descendants? Li Jingye made such a start. I'm afraid there will be more such things in the future! At that time, what will become of Datang?"

Li Yue spread her hands, and said helplessly: "Then what do you think I should do? Minyue seems to be getting better and better, but in fact, most of my strength has been invested in Ryukyu Island, Minyue. There are almost all kinds of workshops left here, even if the imperial court ordered me to raise troops to serve the king, I still can't show much strength, so I can't directly recruit troops from the workshops!"

Princess Xincheng heard Li Yue's helpless look, but her expression was a little suspicious: "I remember you promised that boy Li Xian before that if he became the master of Tiannan, he would help him solve the problems in Tiannan. People, how many soldiers and horses do you have?"

Li Yue wasn't flustered either. He said confidently, "But my brother hadn't made up his mind to immigrate to Ryukyu at that time. Naturally, there were people in his hands! To be honest, the soldiers and horses in my hand don't actually have much fighting power. Even those people Now in Ryukyu, they are all landlords and workshop owners. After all, Ryukyu is a land of alienation. If you want the people from the Central Plains to immigrate, you must give them enough benefits. Apart from the land there, what else can you do? Give it to them! These people are afraid that hoes are easier to hold than spears now, and how much strength they can display on the battlefield! Moreover, they can't do it now, all of them have families and businesses in Ryukyu. Who is willing to work hard for the affairs of the Central Plains!"

When Princess Xincheng saw Li Yue's appearance, she immediately had nothing to say. She said depressingly, "If that's the case, then if I persuade the emperor's wife to return the government to the present, there should be no reason for those people to rebel in the future!"

Li Yue had no choice but to persuade: "Sister, there is no such easy thing in this world. The queen mother directly abolished an emperor for the sake of power. It was hard to get the current situation. Now I want the queen mother to give up. What difference does it make for a tiger to give up meat to its mouth!"

Hearing Li Yue's analogy, Princess Xincheng couldn't help laughing: "If the queen mother knows that you compare her to a tiger, I don't know what you think!"

Li Yue said with a smile: "What kind of person is the queen mother, the tiger is also the king of beasts, the queen mother will definitely not care about it like me! So sister, don't worry about these things, even if you worry about it, it is useless. Otherwise, my younger brother will take my sister to Ryukyu to play. There are some beautiful scenery on Yizhou Island. There is a place called Sun Moon Lake. , this time, with the help of my sister, I can take a tour!"

Princess Xincheng shook her head and said: "If this hadn't happened, then I would have gone to sea with you, Shiwulang, but since such a major event has happened, how can I leave here casually, I have to wait until the result comes out That's fine, I hope the court will get rid of Li Jingye as soon as possible, otherwise, if Jiangnan is corrupted because of this, it will be difficult to deal with it in the future!"

Li Yue is not worried about this at all. Until this era, you can't even imagine how abundant Tang Wude is in this era. How to put it, the number of Tang's standing army alone is a very exaggerated number, let alone the government The military system has not yet collapsed. In the local area, there are many people who have practiced martial arts since childhood and are waiting to enlist in the army to make meritorious deeds to honor their ancestors. Weapons, just waiting to enlist in the army!Therefore, there is no need to mobilize frontier troops, and each county can easily dispatch a team that is not weak. On Yangzhou's side, even if Li Jingye is under the banner of a diligent king, how many people can he mobilize?

Therefore, Li Yue persuaded Princess Xincheng for a while, and seeing that Princess Xincheng insisted on waiting for the battle report from Yangzhou, she stopped persuading her. This side is still safe, so just wait for the final result here in Quanzhou.

When Li Jingye raised his army, he was a high-spirited, young and famous Luo Binwang who was also among the people who were demoted this time. He had always had a good relationship with Li Jingye. A "Warrior Call for Martial Arts" was published, and the Empress Wu was scolded so heartily.Fortunately, Empress Wu is not a narrow-minded person like Wang Lang, she even listened with great interest, thinking that King Luo Bin is indeed a talent.As a high-ranking person, everyone needs a mouthpiece to speak for themselves. Although there is Shangguan Wan'er next to Empress Wu, her gender determines that no matter how talented she is, there are some things she can't do. Moreover, Shangguan Wan'er Er'er's writing style tends to be soft and charming, not as majestic as King Luo Bin. If this kind of talent can be used by him, it would be great.

It is a pity that no matter how well-written the article is, no matter how powerful the propaganda work is, it must be implemented on the barrel of the gun.If Li Jingye was talking about ability, he would certainly have it, but not long after he started, he encountered a difficult enemy, Li Jingye's uncle Li Siwen, Li Siwen was not Li Ji's son, he was a concubine, Otherwise, the title of Duke of England would not have passed him to Li Jingye.The relationship between Li Siwen and Li Ji is not as close as imagined. Most importantly, Li Siwen is really not optimistic about Li Jingye's success!Yangzhou is indeed a good place, but it has been rich and prosperous for too long. land of plenty.However, after the Jinshi crossed to the south, the south has been developed rapidly. Coupled with the atmosphere in the south after the Jinshi, the people here are also used to being in a peaceful corner, and they don't have much enterprising spirit. Naturally, this place is no longer a very The location of a good source of troops, and how many people can Li Jingye recruit?Li Siwen didn't want to ask Li Jingye to bring the whole family of the Li family into the ditch, so Li Siwen not only reported the letter to the court early, but also guarded Runzhou, preparing to fight against Li Jingye for a long time.

One Runzhou took Li Jingye a lot of time and lost a lot of troops. According to the rules of the cold weapon era, if the siege encounters such a deadly battle and does not retreat, even if it does not slaughter the city, it must be killed. After all, if If you don't kill those who don't surrender in the deadly battle, isn't it encouraging others, anyway, nothing will happen in the deadly battle, so naturally resist to the end.Therefore, the people under him persuaded Li Jingye to kill Li Siwen, but Li Jingye refused. advance.

With such actions, Li Jingye has already lost a lot of hearts, just because the person who resisted was your second uncle, and in the end you ignored the casualties below and acted as if this had never happened?How can someone like you do anything?

At this time, the imperial court has also quickly mobilized.Empress Wu originally relegated Li Jingye because she was planning to kill chickens and scare monkeys. Now that Li Jingye is rebelling, Empress Wu is going to use thunder to destroy him, so as to show her determination and skill. If you are willing to compromise, who else is worthy of your own compromise!As for what the court said to ask Empress Wu to return to power, the rebels would naturally retreat. Empress Wu was even more furious, and directly killed Pei Yan and Cheng Wuting who advocated this. The hero who deposed Li Xian was ruthlessly killed by Empress Wu. Immediately, no one in the court dared to blatantly say that Li Dan was an adult and should be in charge of the government.

Of course, in many cases, keeping silent on the surface does not mean that there is no idea in your heart.Empress Wu's behavior has also made many people feel insecure. After all, it is still the same sentence. Empress Wu even killed the heroes who have just made great contributions to her. Then, what are other people to Empress Wu? ?People who are courtiers actually don't want to stand on the side of such a monarch, and kill people if they disagree with each other. Who can bear this kind of thing!

Here in Quanzhou, a battle report came from Jiangnan, and when he heard that Li Jingye didn't want to go north and wanted to capture Jinling, Li Yue just threw the battle report away: "Li Jingye is finished!"

Princess Xincheng was a little puzzled: "He still has nearly [-] troops in his hands, why is it over?"

Li Yue can be regarded as a good talker now. He explained: "He originally raised troops in the name of King Qin, so many people are still willing to believe him and support him. After all, the Tang Dynasty has been founded for so many years. On Datang’s side! But the problem is, if you want King Qin, whether you are going to Luoyang or Chang’an, that’s a firm attitude, but in the end you’re calling King Qin, but you’re planning to capture Jinling, the old capital of Southern Chen. It is clear that the name is King Qin, and he is actually self-reliant! Although Li Jingye is surnamed Li, he is not a clan. The clan can be explained, but Li Jingye was originally a courtier, and his behavior is naturally dissatisfied! Many of his men are now leaving, and it is not impossible to fight back!"

Princess Xincheng was a little sad. She grew up listening to the achievements of Li Jing, Li Ji and others. Li Ji was such a hero back then. Her father and elder brother also trusted Li Ji with all kinds of favors. I feel that Li Ji's lineage can live with the country, but who knows, it's only a few generations, and Li Jingye has done such things. Empress Wu started a discord.After all, nothing like this happened when my elder brother was alive, and it has only been so long since my elder brother passed away. There is actually chaos in this world, which has a lot to do with Empress Wu, which makes Princess Xincheng feel a little uncomfortable .It's a pity that she thought of what Li Yue said before, that Empress Wu had paid so much for her current power, so it was almost impossible to expect her to stop by herself!

Even though Princess Xincheng is now more politically sensitive, Princess Xincheng still has nothing to do in the face of such a situation of constant cutting and chaos. In many cases, the reason why those people are dormant is not because they don't have that kind of thought, but because they They didn't find a suitable excuse, but now, Empress Wu's deeds have been spread all over the world with King Luo Bin's "Writing on Martial Arts", which gave them a perfect reason. Soon, these people who have been unwilling for a long time will jump out.And most of these people will be her uncle, her brother, and her nephew.Princess Xincheng had never experienced the Xuanwumen Incident, but she naturally hated such cannibalism, but she was helpless, she sighed, and said, "Forget it, Shiwulang, let's go to Yizhou!"

Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief immediately, he was really worried that Princess Xincheng would encourage him to follow King Qin, and it would be embarrassing at that time, Li Yue didn't want to make trouble for nothing, so it would be best to hide out!

In order to prevent Princess Xincheng from changing her mind, Li Yue mobilized almost immediately. Fortunately, the maritime industry in Quanzhou is very developed now, and Li Yue always has a fleet of ships that can be used at any time. The warehouse also stores enough supplies for a fleet to drift at sea for several years at any time.Therefore, after Li Yue gave an order, a large amount of supplies were delivered to the ship in less than a day. The sailors checked the ship carefully again, and then the fleet could set sail.

Li Yue's special boat is naturally carefully designed and built. The comfort level is much higher than that of ordinary boats. The utensils in the cabin are directly fixed. In order to make living more comfortable, Li Yue also refers to the The decoration and custom-made furniture of that small apartment transformed all the furniture in the cabin.Some furniture with relatively low frequency of use is generally made to be folded or invisible, and it can be put down or dragged out when needed.Coupled with the improvement of boat manufacturing technology today, although the boat still feels shaking, the comfort level is much higher than before.

Princess Xincheng has taken a lot of boats in recent years. She also took a sea boat from Jiangnan to Quanzhou before, but the sea boat at that time was a relatively common merchant ship from Minyue, but it was not so comfortable. She lay on a deck chair, accompanied by The ups and downs of the waves almost made me sleepy.

"Well, how much does this boat cost?" Princess Xincheng said with great interest, "I also want to build a smaller one, and use it when I go to the lake in Chang'an and Luoyang!"

Li Yue said with a smile: "You can't use such a boat in ordinary rivers and lakes. My sister thinks it's comfortable to sit on. It's just that the interior is better decorated!" The current sea boat is still a sailboat, and Li Yue originally thought of building a steam engine. Yes, but this thing is really not something that ordinary people can make. After careful study, Li Yue found that the technical content required by the steam engine may be a little higher than that of the electric motor. In fact, Minyue has already developed a simple DC and AC generators, but they can only be used for experiments, because the wire manufacturing technology is not good enough, and the current wires are coated with a layer of paint on the outside of the copper wire, which is difficult to use industrial methods. Copper wire is a rather troublesome thing, and the current manufacturing precision is not as high as this. The wire rolling machine that Li Yue built, the copper wire rolled out is really a bit thick, and it is not easy to paint on it. It's easy, it's hard to achieve complete insulation and even thickness at the same time. I think it’s better not to think about making electric machines. The cost is too high. Compared with this, sailing boats are much more friendly to the people.

On the inland rivers, because of the wind direction, only sailboats are used on big rivers. This has to be a medium-to-large boat. Moreover, when there is no wind or the wind direction is wrong, the boat has to be moved. The sails are lowered, and most of the others are manpower. As for the boat that the princess of Xincheng said to swim on the lake, it is basically a painting boat, and it is all supported by the boatman. There is not much room for improvement. It can't be used even if it is a little bit smaller.

Princess Xincheng had visited the shipbuilding workshop before. However, most of the ships in the workshop were semi-finished products, and some were even raw materials. Princess Xincheng was not an expert in this field, so naturally she couldn't see anything famous.But now she was thinking about it, and began to observe the ship carefully, walking up and down, asking questions that even Li Yue didn't know how to answer, mainly due to some theories I can't explain it clearly to a layman. Li Yue didn't do science popularization in her previous life, so she was able to teach others difficult theories in simple and easy-to-understand words. Therefore, Li Yue can only give a rough idea. Princess Xincheng also half-understands, but , She didn't mean to get to the bottom of it, but Li Yue was relieved.

Princess Xincheng is actually forcing herself to divert her attention. After all, with her status, she is not very interested in these things. She really likes food, but fresh food from the sea is nothing more than all kinds of seafood. Princess Xincheng is interested in seafood. It's not big, which also made her sea trip a lot less fun this time. Fortunately, Yizhou Island is not far from Quanzhou. Even if the speed of the boat is relatively slow for comfort, it is only a two-day trip. Time, Yizhou Island is here.
