"Do you know where that kid is now?"
Liu Deng suddenly asked.
"What are you going to do, Your Majesty? He is the Crown Prince of Wu. In terms of seniority, he is your uncle. Your Majesty, you must not mess around!"
Seeing the unkind look on Liu Deng's face, Zhang Tu hurriedly warned him, if this kid really does something stupid again, then things will really get out of hand.
Although Gongsun Gui was a confidant of King Wu Liu Bi, in the final analysis he was just a guest and did not receive an official position from the imperial court.
In addition, this guy really didn't give Liu Deng any face that day. He openly humiliated a prince and king in the main hall. Such behavior, even if Liu Deng beat him to death, and brought trouble to the court, Liu Deng It can also occupy a rational word.
But Liu Xian is different. If Liu Deng makes another mistake at this time, it will not be solved by a simple apology.
"Don't worry, Taifu. I just want to pay a visit. My cheap uncle has no other plans!"
Liu Deng said lightly.
But no matter what he said, Zhang Tu still looked wary. After all, this kid had a criminal record.
"Seriously not?"
After a while, Zhang Tu asked sarcastically.
"Won't!"
Where has the trust between people gone?
Am I so untrustworthy?
Now Liu Deng couldn't explain it to him. Should he tell Zhang Tu that King Wu Liu Bi and his family were going to rebel? Whoever followed them in rebellion would have no descendants?
If we say this now, Zhang Tu would be a fool if he didn't regard him as a fool.
King Wu Liu Bi personally swore in front of Emperor Gaozu that he would never betray him.
If you accuse him of rebelling now, you might as well just strangle yourself to death with a rope.
"He is near Qingjiang Courtyard, at the home of a businessman named Wang!"
Zhang Tu gritted his teeth and then said.
"Qingjiang Villa? This guy really knows how to find a place!"
Although the name is so elegant, this place is a famous gold-selling cave in Jinyang City. It is said that the boss behind it is also a big businessman from Wu State.
"Come here, prepare your carriage and horses. I want to come personally to pay a visit to the Crown Prince of Wu!"
Liu Deng touched his nose and then gave an order.
"Your Majesty, it seems a little inappropriate for you to go like this..."
Zhang Tu was a little embarrassed and pointed at Liu Deng's clothes.
He was wearing these casual clothes today. He had no choice but to do so. The clothes he was wearing were too hot. It was already July. He was wearing casual clothes and his body was almost covered with prickly heat. If it weren't for Zhang Tu's face, Liu Deng now wants to go shirtless.
"Master Taifu, you should go back and rest first. Just leave this kind of thing to me!"
Liu Deng secretly cursed in his heart that this kid wouldn't live long now. Although he didn't know which year the kid was beaten to death by a chessboard, he only had four or five years left.
When meeting a dead person, would it be possible for him to change into a uniform?
What's more, at this time, no matter how you say you are a prince, that boy, although he has a higher seniority, is just a prince of Wu in the final analysis.
This gift cannot be wasted!
As a prince, it is already very humiliating to go visit a prince. If he changes into Yan clothes, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
"Old minister resigns..."
Zhang Tu originally wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.
Originally, he had always regarded Liu Deng as his student and would beat him up a few times from time to time. However, after this incident with Chao Cuo, he suddenly realized that Liu Deng seemed to be a different person.
In any case, he also wanted to see how Liu Deng would handle this matter.
"Prince, you don't know, that little beast Liu Deng, as soon as he came to power, he didn't take our country of Wu seriously! Even the king's other courtyard was raided by him, and... He even beat Master Gongsun to death while he was still alive. This is a slap in the face of our Wu Kingdom!"
Wang Shengzhi is a famous businessman in Wu State, but what many people don't know is that this guy is not only a businessman, but also Liu Xian's confidant.
"Have you finished what I asked you to do?"
Liu Xian sipped the tea leisurely, took a brief sip, closed his eyes and felt the tea soup blooming in his mouth. After a long time, he opened his eyes and asked.
"Everything has gone according to your instructions. I'm afraid that boy will come to see you soon!"
Wang Shengzhi's face was full of flattering smile.
"Soon? I think he should be arriving soon!"
An inscrutable smile appeared on Liu Xian's face.
Salt is really a top priority in this day and age. The common people cannot eat meat all year round. If there is a lack of salt, a strong laborer will lie down in less than half a year.
Although salt is also produced in the Kingdom of Dai, the things produced in the salt ponds are really different from the sea salt shipped from the Kingdom of Wu.
Ordinary people with some spare money at home would rather spend more money to buy salt from Wu State than buy official salt produced in local salt ponds.
Although Daiguo was poor and weak, it could still bring an income of five million yuan to Wu State every year.
After so many years, Wu State's salt has occupied nearly 60% of Dai State's share. The remaining salt, except for the occasional support from the court, and the salt produced in local salt ponds, can only account for 30% at most.
Once the price of salt in Wu State increased by 80%, it would be a disaster for the already poor and weak people of Dai State.
If Liu Deng, the newly appointed acting king, cannot even solve this first problem, how will he have the dignity to be among the princes in the future?
"To report to the prince, a group of people came outside the door, saying that the acting king Liu Deng came to visit the prince!"
Before Liu Xian finished speaking, several servants outside the door came to report in a panic.
"The prince is really clever. You have seen through Liu Deng's child!"
Wang Shengzhi was immediately impressed and fell to the ground.
"Let him wait for a while. The door is closed and don't worry about him!"
Liu Xian said nonchalantly.
"promise!"
"Come back, you go..."
Liu Xian seemed to have thought of something and waved to Wang Shengzhi, who hurriedly came over.
"High! It's really high! I'll go down and prepare now!"
Wang Shengzhi walked out happily, leaving only Liu Xian and the two maids waiting in the huge room.
"Liu Deng, ah, Liu Deng, today I will let you know what will happen to those who dare to offend my country of Wu!"
Liu Xian said to himself with a spiteful look on his face...
