"What? The third child went to Ezhou?"
In the second prince's house.
Qin Zhengyang also received the news quickly, his eyes full of astonishment, "What is he doing in Ezhou's current situation?"
At the moment, everyone in Ezhou is trying to avoid him, and why he ran out so rashly at this time, no wonder Qin Zhengyang is puzzled.
Zhu Kun's face was full of worry, and he said: "It's most likely because of Lin Qingfeng."
"News just came from the southwest. Lin Qingfeng organized a large number of merchants and supplies, saying that they were going to Ezhou."
"The relationship between the third child and Lin Qingfeng has greatly improved during this period. He has requested to lift the southwest blockade several times. Now that Lin Qingfeng is going to Ezhou, he is also going, so he must be involved."
Zhu Tai's abnormality during this period was naturally noticed by Zhu Kun.
In the past, the other party hated Lin Bai extremely.
However, during this period, he proposed to lift the blockade on the southwest several times. If there was no intrigue between the two, he obviously did not believe it.
Qin Zhengyang was also a little confused and said, "Is the news true?"
Zhu Kun said: "It's absolutely true. The news came from Han Wenqing. It must be correct."
Qin Zhengyang also frowned when he heard this, "Since Dali came back, the third prince has changed a lot, and his attitude towards Southwest has changed a lot. Could it be..."
He thought for a while and then asked: "What does the southwest side say?"
Zhu Kun said: "Lin Qingfeng summoned many businessmen and said that he would focus on building Ezhou, transfer some industries in the southwest, and complete the construction of Ezhou New City."
Qin Zhengyang frowned even more tightly.
Obviously, he didn't understand what Lin Bai was trying to do.
Ezhou is already a huge mess, taking over at this time is a no-brainer!
However, he understood one thing. After such a huge departure from the dynasty, if there was one person who could clean up the mess in Ezhou, then there is no doubt that it is the Southwest King.
The other party's appeal is so strong that whether it is among businessmen or ordinary people, it can be said that there is a response.
And if the other party really wants to restart Ezhou, then...
"The third child rushed over at this time, maybe to connect with Lin Qingfeng. Once the Ezhou problem is really solved, then..."
Zhu Kun was obviously worried.
He currently has the upper hand in the fight for the crown prince, but if the third son can bring Ezhou up, his reputation will definitely increase greatly.
The most important point is that if the other party can get Lin Qingfeng's support, then...
Not to mention him, Qin Zhengyang's face became a little solemn.
But he soon sneered again and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. The third prince probably knew that he was outmatched, so he took the risk and tried to cooperate with Lin Qingfeng to gain Lin Qingfeng's support."
"As for Lin Qingfeng, whether it is for the sake of the mainland market or supporting a puppet, he must not have good intentions."
"The two hit it off right away and seemed to have great potential, but in fact they were completely dancing on the edge of a knife."
Zhu Kun was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"
Qin Zhengyang smiled and said: "It's very simple. Your Majesty doesn't want to see Lin Qingfeng. Lin Qingfeng's background has already determined everything. Your Majesty can't tolerate his existence. Cooperating with him is tantamount to fighting against Your Majesty. Even if No matter what achievements he makes, he is destined to be unpopular with His Majesty."
Zhu Kun nodded subconsciously.
good! His father hated Lin Qingfeng so much that he wanted to promote the marriage of the Three Kingdoms and suppress the Southwest at any cost.
Although the plan failed, my father's determination has been clearly demonstrated.
Qin Zhengyang continued: "What's more, the mess in Ezhou is not so easy to clean up."
A sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Zhu Kun understood instantly.
Yes! It may not be easy to clean up the mess, but it doesn't seem to be difficult to stumble.
Immediately, a coldness appeared in his eyes, "The third child is asking for trouble this time, letting him get involved with Lin Qingfeng. When Ezhou fails, and the father learns that he and Lin Qingfeng are colluding, let's see how he ends up."
…
"Uncle, we are just ahead of the checkpoint set up by the Caoyun Yamen!"
On the rushing river, a huge fleet of ships was heading east.
Lin Bai stood on the deck with two beautiful ladies, looking into the distance. On the river in the distance, patrol ships had also gathered. They were obviously frightened by the mighty ships. As if facing a formidable enemy.
At the same time, a loud voice came, "Who's in front?"
Yan Gang shouted directly: "The King of the Southwest is coming, get away quickly!"
What?
The King of Southwest is here?
Hearing this, the expressions of all the water transport officers and soldiers on the surrounding patrol boats changed.
Just kidding, although the imperial court has sealed off the southwest, the name of the Southwest King is self-evident. Especially those like them who are stationed at the main routes in and out of the southwest are more aware of the changes in the southwest and the worship of great talents.
Jiang Wannian, the leader of the water transportation department, was no exception, and his expression changed slightly.
"The official has met the King of Southwest!"
He first bowed respectfully, then glanced at the huge fleet of merchant ships, and continued: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The court has decreed that hemp is rampant in Tianzhu in the southwest. All goods in the southwest must be strictly inspected, otherwise they will not be released."
This is naturally the reason for blocking the southwest.
The Southwest is still nominally part of the Li Dynasty, although in fact it is considered a country within a country according to the great talent.
But no matter what, Zhu Tianzheng would not admit that the southwest was a country. Of course, the great scholar had no such intention, so the reason for the blockade was just the proliferation of hemp in southwest Tianzhu, and the same reason for the previously seized goods.
Of course, that's the reason.
Once detained, I'm sorry and will not be released.
On the surface, it is to control the entry of Tianzhu hemp, but in fact it is to suppress the southwest and prevent it from becoming bigger.
But that was all in the past, and now Southwest has no need to compete in the mainland market.
But Lao Zhu obviously couldn't bear this face, and the blockade remained unchanged.
"Really!"
Lin Bai said calmly, "Then Mr. Jiang and all the soldiers, please investigate slowly!"
this!
Jiang Wannian was suddenly at a loss. What everyone knew well was suddenly so complicated that he didn't know what to do.
Button down as usual? The person opposite is the King of Southwest. Not to mention that he doesn't dare, he doesn't really think about it either.
Again, great talents are highly loved, whether they are common people or businessmen.
Just a battle in Hexi is enough.
In fact, due to the convenience of being stationed at the border, these water transport officers and soldiers often entered the southwest. They were envious of the changes in the southwest and admired the great talents even more.
"Your Majesty, I am lowering my rank..."
Jiang Wannian had a troubled look on his face.
Lin Bai glanced at him and said, "Is it difficult?"
Jiang Wannian sighed: "My lord, why is this necessary? The supply of goods in the southwest exceeds demand, and there is no need for the inland market. If this news comes back to the imperial court..."
Lin Bai was startled for a moment. The other person was so kind and persuasive, but he was actually concerned about his relationship with the court.
The talented man was originally prepared to use his power to overwhelm others, but now he felt embarrassed and said calmly: "You also know that Southwest does not need the mainland market?"
Jiang Wannian's expression froze.
yes! Southwest doesn’t need the inland market anymore, so why does the Southwest King personally...
His eyes were full of doubts.
