In the secret room in the backyard of Zongzheng Temple, Zhang Liang looked at Li You who was crying in front of him and was speechless. He couldn't understand why Li You, who was also His Majesty's child, was such a thing, spending all day with some gangsters in the fiefdom. They got together and committed all kinds of evil, and now they have come to Chang'an, and they still do this. This is Chang'an, not his fiefdom. There are princes everywhere here. You are a prince, but they are not you either. You can afford to be offended.
Speaking of Luo Zhang, he was a ruthless man who even the King of Wei dared to fight against. It was even said that the King of Wei was sent back to the fiefdom by His Majesty because of Luo Zhang's handiwork. You, an immature King of Chu, are fighting against Luo Zhang. Aren't you asking for trouble?
Zhang Liang didn't say these words to Li You, but he was really speechless. He really didn't want to care about this matter, but he couldn't do it.
Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Li You shouted: "Uncle, it's unfair. I really didn't molest Luo Zhang's wife. It was all because of him that he wronged me. How could I molest his wife!"
Zhang Liang rolled his eyes. If Li You hadn't done such a thing, he wouldn't believe it even to death.
"If you still say that, then I can't help you. Just stay here and wait for Zongzheng Temple to find out!" Zhang Liang also said a little angry!
"Ah, uncle, you can't ignore me. I admit it. I just admit it. It was me who molested Luo Zhang's wife. Please save me. Tell them to let me go. I can make up for it. You Let Luo Zhang put forward conditions, as long as he lets me go!" Li You cried!
"Compensation? Do you think people will care about your compensation? What they want is for you to admit your fault. You have never admitted your fault, which is the reason why they won't let you go! Just now you were still making excuses, if it weren't for me Will you admit your mistake if I force you to do so? Will you be willing to admit your mistake to Luo Zhang?" Zhang Liang shook his head and sighed.
"I..." Zhang Liang's words made Li You speechless for a moment. He just wanted to leave and let him confess his mistake to Luo Zhang. He really hadn't thought about it. In fact, he felt that he, a prince, had to admit his mistake to a marquis. face.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but laugh. He really guessed it right. Li You had never thought about apologizing. He was afraid that when he encountered a problem, his first thought was to use money to solve it. If money didn't work, he would use power. Who would Knowing that he met someone he couldn't deal with this time, he was blinded!
"Go and apologize to Luo Zhang in a while. Your tone should be sincere and your posture should be low. Don't think that it's too big just because you are the prince. Luo Zhang is a popular person around your father. Even the prince and him are not the same. The relationship is very close, not to mention that there are many people in the DPRK who are friendly with him. If you fight with him, you will not be able to fight against him!" Zhang Liang persuaded!
"Huh? The famous person next to my father? Are you still on good terms with the prince? Uncle, are you telling the truth?" Li You blinked and said in disbelief.
"Do I need to lie to you? If you don't believe me, just go and ask around. What can you learn from hanging out with those gangsters every day?" Zhang Liang scolded.
Li You rolled his eyes and thought to himself, he also said that your family is not that good either, but he didn't dare to say this. If he said it, no one would help him.
In the main hall of Zongzheng Temple, Li Xiaogong and Luo Zhang were sitting opposite each other, drinking the Dahongpao that Li Xiaogong blackmailed from Luo Zhang, and talking about some interesting things. Of course, Li Xiaogong was talking more, Luo Zhang was listening, and Luo Zhang was listening from time to time. I will mention a few words.
From Li Xiaogong, Luo Zhang also learned about some things about the Jiangnan nobles and the chaos in Lingnan. Luo Zhang had only read about these things in history books before, but they were not comprehensive at all. But now, they are alive. The understanding of history makes Luo Zhang, who loves history, feel like drinking nectar, listening to it with relish!
"According to your opinion, isn't this Feng family the local emperor of Lingnan?" Luo Zhang raised his eyebrows when he heard Li Xiaogong talking about the Feng family in Lingnan.
"Tu emperor? This term is new. Yes, it is similar to what you said. In Lingnan, the words of the Feng family are more effective than your Majesty's. The natives there only recognize the Feng family and not your Majesty, so the place is nominally the capital of our Tang Dynasty. Land, actually it’s almost the same as the extra land!” Li Xiaogong shook his head and said.
"His Majesty has never thought of taking that place under his control?" Luo Zhang asked curiously, knowing that the land of Lingnan would be a prosperous place in his later generations. Why wouldn't His Majesty be tempted by such a prosperous place?
"Recover? What's so good about recovering that barren land? As long as there is no chaos there, it's good. It's good to have the Feng family watching over us! At least we won't cause trouble to His Majesty!" Li Xiaogong said.
Luo Zhang then remembered that this is not the future, Lingnan is indeed a barren land, but there is infinite potential and wealth there. Only Luo Zhang knows these things, and His Majesty may not even know about it. If he knew, he would probably ignore it. Will be tempted.
Li Xiaogong didn't know what Luo Zhang was thinking, so he pondered for a while and continued: "It's just that there..."
"Just what?" Luo Zhang asked.
"It's just that His Majesty has to allocate a large amount of money to the Feng family every year to pay for the salaries of the troops and horses there. This is a huge expense for the country!" Li Xiaogong sighed.
Luo Zhang raised his eyebrows. This Feng family is really awesome. Not only are they the local emperor of Lingnan, but Li Shimin also gives him money every year. This is like using His Majesty's money to support his own people, and they have food and drink. What's the difference between being a local tyrant and a prince with a foreign surname? Why didn't I travel to the Feng family? If I could travel to the Feng family, wouldn't my life be better than now?
But just think about it, if Luo Zhang were to give up his current life, he would definitely not give up!
"But this money has to be given. Your Majesty is currently busy with the Northern Expedition and thinking about the expedition to Gaoguli. He has no time to take care of the affairs in Lingnan. Besides, there are still things going on with the Jiangnan clan, which makes it even more difficult for Your Majesty to go there. We are in charge of Lingnan, so giving some money to stabilize the situation is not the only solution!" Li Xiaogong said helplessly.
"Jiangnan clan?" Luo Zhang thought for a moment and recalled things about the Jiangnan clan.
The Jiangnan clan was not on Li Shimin's side at first, but on the side of Li Shimin's eldest brother, Prince Li Jiancheng, and also supported Li Jiancheng. The Jiangnan clan believed in Confucianism, and in the eyes of the Jiangnan clan, the eldest son inheriting the throne was the right way. , but Li Shimin made a coup with the Xuanwu Sect. He came to the throne in a crooked way, but by taking advantage of others. He had always disrespected Li Shimin and felt that he was not orthodox. Naturally, Li Shimin would not be polite to the Jiangnan clan, but he had just ascended the throne and he did not dare To disturb the Jiangnan clan, after all, the Jiangnan clan at that time was deeply rooted and powerful in Jiangnan, and it was impossible to uproot them. Therefore, Li Shimin adopted a soft policy and married his sister-in-law Yang to appease the Jiangnan clan.
Now that His Majesty has gained a firm foothold, he naturally wants to control Jiangnan. After all, Jiangnan is a fertile land, but again, the chaos in the north makes it impossible for him to take action to govern the Jiangnan clan, so he can only delay like this. This is also the reason why His Majesty has always wanted to defeat the Turks and conquer Gaoguli.
Luo Zhang still has a lot of thoughts about this. Whether it is the Jiangnan clan or Lingnan, it is a rare treasure. If his business can be involved, the profit will not be a lot of money. It is not an exaggeration to be as rich as a country, but if you want to get involved, you must have control over where. This requires careful planning, and it cannot be achieved in a short time.
Just as Luo Zhang and Li Xiaogong were chatting enthusiastically, Zhang Liang walked in.
Seeing Zhang Liang coming, Luo and Zhang naturally stopped talking and looked at Zhang Liang.
"You two, what are you talking about?" Zhang Liang said with a smile.
"What did Li You say?" Li Xiaogong asked.
"Lord Luo, Li You already knows his fault. He just cried to me and told me that he shouldn't have done such a beastly thing. I hope you don't remember the villain's mistakes and just spare Li You this time!" Zhang Liang rushed. Luo Zhang cupped his hands and said politely.
Luo Zhang glanced at Li Xiaogong, then at Zhang Liang and said: "Okay, I'm not the kind of person who cares. As long as Li You doesn't do this anymore, forget it, but if he makes such mistakes again and I catch him Yes, but I’m not so lucky!”
"That's right, that's right. I will report it to Concubine Yin and ask her to discipline her more. I will also tell Concubine Yin how good you are!" Zhang Liang said politely.
When Luo Zhang saw Li You again, Li You still seemed a little reluctant, but this is normal. If you ask a proud prince to apologize to a marquis, his pride itself can't stand it, but the situation is better than that of others. Qiang, Zhang Liang has analyzed the stakes with him, and it won't work if he doesn't apologize, otherwise he will be punished by being sent back to the fief.
Looking at Li You who was apologizing to him, Luo Zhang smiled and nodded.
In my mind, the system notification sound kept flashing on the screen.
"Hate value from Li You +1000"
"From..."
