On the way back, Liu Zheng kept thinking about the list.
Five year share of buffalo horns.
This is the top priority.
North Korea has always relied on Longyan, an indispensable Chinese herbal medicine such as buffalo horn. Even though it is such a small thing, if Long Yan cuts off the supply, it can make the whole North Korea miserable.
Zhang Xuan is responsible for doing business with Long Yan.
Therefore, the purchase of five-year quota of buffalo horns immediately attracted Liu Zheng's attention.
First of all, what can be guessed is that Li Chao's action was obviously preparation for the deterioration of relations with the Long Yan Dynasty. The first thing to bear the brunt is preparation for the deterioration of trade relations. So, under what circumstances would Li Chao, Long Yan's loyal younger brother, have a deterioration in trade relations with Long Yan? The first thing Liu Zheng thought of was that Li Chao wanted to kill him. Because now Long Yan's own chamber of commerce is doing the best in terms of business and trade. Moreover, there is a key factor, that is, Liaodong has become its own back garden. The Li Dynasty bordered Liaodong.
Secondly, Li Chaoyou is worried about the current situation of the Longyan Dynasty. Xie Tianyao's physical condition is getting worse day by day. The whereabouts of the prince have not been found yet. The court is in chaos. Under this situation, if Liu Shilang died in North Korea ,what happens? Think about it with your toes, the Liangzhou army will definitely rebel, and Long Yan's chaos is inevitable.
Just these two.
Comprehensively.
Li Chao wanted to kill himself.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and looked out the window at the scenery.
And those who want to kill him are not only the southerners, but also the Westerners who maintain a wait-and-see attitude, and Li Yan, a fox who has always wanted to regain power.
Liu Zheng suddenly felt.
This is because someone in the country has contributed and is adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes.
Otherwise, Li Chao would not take such a desperate risk when Liaodong was firmly in his hands.
who is it?
Old noble?
Or a scholar-official?
At a glance, Liu Zheng saw enemies everywhere.
What should I do to break out of the siege?
…
Longyan Jinghua.
This time, Zhu Zhen appeared not in Shangshu Mansion, but in Qintian Prison.
He and Yuan Qingming sat quietly opposite each other, playing chess.
"Oh, I said, Old Minister... I really can't show you things like the astrolabe."
Yuan Qingming couldn't bear it anymore.
Zhu Zhen was stunned and laughed loudly: "Old Yuan, if anyone wants to see your horoscope, I am here to play chess with you."
Playing chess?
Damn you!
Now in the entire capital, everyone who doesn't come to me every day just wants to see the astrolabe.
How is Emperor Star doing...
How is the situation in Longyan?
But anyone who came would be kicked out by Yuan Qingming.
The Holy One is not here, why are you here to see this?
But Zhu Zhen is different...
Yuan Qingming was able to become the top leader in Qintian Prison, but Zhu Zhen single-handedly promoted him.
This is considered his Bole, and he definitely can't drive him away.
only……
He thought of the astonishing changes that had taken place in the astrolabe in the past few days. He couldn't sleep well. How could he let others see it?
Zhu Zhen's face was full of wrinkles, piled up into ravines, he fell down, and he laughed and said: "Old Yuan, pattern, pattern! You also know that the body of the Holy Lord is getting worse day by day... Where does Long Yan go? It's us who It’s something you should be concerned about.”
really.
Still here.
Yuan Qingming looked bitter.
Zhu Zhen said calmly: "The power of the world will divide if it unites for a long time, and it will unite if it divides for a long time. This is the reincarnation of heaven, and you and I can't stop it. However, how innocent are the people in the world? Old Yuan, what is the significance of establishing Qin Tianjian? Today the Holy Master is traveling away from home. , we, the so-called ministers of the family, naturally want to take charge of this family, do you think so or not?"
"Old Minister..."
Yuan Qingming smiled bitterly.
Zhu Zhen continued: "The affairs of the world, the affairs of the emperor, the affairs of the world..."
"Okay, okay!"
Yuan Qingming was finally defeated and stood up slowly: "Old Minister, are you sure you want to see..."
Zhu Zhen's cloudy eyes lit up: "Heaven has given this man a great responsibility..."
"Okay, okay!"
Yuan Qingming sighed, and the two old men followed each other, tremblingly, up the stairs of Qintian Prison.
A huge astrolabe appeared in front of the two of them.
Yuan Qingming slowly closed his eyes, already filled with tears.
Zhu Zhen looked intently, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
then.
The two fell into silence at the same time.
There was a long silence.
Too long silence.
There are dots of stars on the astrolabe. Although they are not so eye-catching in the daytime, they are still fascinating to watch.
The entire astrolabe represents the entire Dragon Flame.
Zhu Zhen is also addicted to it.
Then, I don’t know how long passed.
An old roar sounded.
"Where's the Emperor Star!"
"Where's the Emperor Star?"
"Lao Yuan, tell me where is our Emperor Star of Long Yan!"
"Lao Yuan, is this a mistake? Tell me quickly if this is true!"
The old man's roar was full of despair, horror, disbelief, and emotional collapse.
That's right.
The Emperor Star on the astrolabe is gone.
The imperial star belonging to Xie Tianyao had begun to dim and began to drift away. The previously extremely bright Emperor Star was still moving slowly from Liaodong to Beijing, but at this time, this star also dimmed too much, too much, and it didn't look like an emperor at all...
And another.
Where is the other one?
neither knows.
Because he has fallen into the crowd and seems to have become a commoner.
Gone.
The Emperor Star is gone.
Doesn't that mean that the emperor is also gone? Is the royal family going to die too?
The two old men were in shock and grief, and could not recover for a long time.
Zhu Zhen didn't even know how he left the Qintian Prison.
Yes.
He has prepared everything for the advent of this troubled times. He has even promised the Li Dynasty many benefits that can be called "traitoring the country and seeking glory". The purpose is to let them keep Liu Shilang in the Li Dynasty, no matter what Pay any price!
Domestically, the actions of many forces have begun to become more frequent.
It seems that a battle for the Central Plains is about to begin.
However……
Does all this have any meaning?
He couldn't figure out why the Emperor Star disappeared.
Where is Prince Xie Fang? died?
Where is Princess Longyang Xie Chan?
Where is Liu Zheng?
at this time.
He even thought about Liu Zheng, a being who should not be considered as the Emperor Star, but he also became dim?
Why?
He couldn't figure it out.
He returned to his carriage tremblingly and fell into long contemplation and confusion.
…
Qing Yangshuo quietly looked at the file in his hand.
Then he took a deep breath.
Constitutional monarchy.
Oh My God……
Young Master, what kind of brain does this have?
He had to admit that he was getting old. Yes, this young man who was once half his student was now really better than his master. This bold idea shocked even Qing Yangshuo.
Of course, what was even more shocking was that he was deeply shocked by Liu Zheng's personality.
Since ancient times, as long as you are a human being, who doesn’t want to be an emperor?
Who doesn’t want to rule the world, who doesn’t want to have power over the world?
Once a person gets a taste of power, it is really difficult to let go. Some people spend their entire lives pursuing supreme power. And his own son... when he was about to become the prince-in-law, when Xie Tianyao was about to die, when Liangzhou was most capable of competing in the Central Plains, he actually wanted to free himself.
Qingyang Shuo smiled bitterly.
Is this a saint?
he does not know.
But the constitutional monarchy that Liu Zheng came up with really shocked him.
Moreover, it seems that the young master's constitutional monarchy has been prepared a long time ago. Because of the formation of the cabinet, the cabinet is equivalent to the Western parliament. The young master is away from Liangzhou all the year round, and Liu Dahao is not interested in government affairs, so he concentrates on having a child with Feng Sanniang. Therefore, Liu Zheng formed a cabinet and delegated power to the people below him.
Now Liangzhou's cabinet is very mature.
Powers have begun to check and balance each other.
Isn't all this preparing for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy?
My young master... has never wanted to be the emperor.
Thinking of this, Qingyang Shuo couldn't laugh or cry.
What old aristocrats, new aristocrats, scholar-bureaucrats?
You guys underestimate my young master too much... How can his style be compared to yours?
The layout is smaller.
Really small. Qing Yangshuo even felt that compared to these people, his young master was the real saint.
If constitutional monarchy can be achieved.
How much less bloodshed would that reduce?
How many fewer wars will there be?
This is what Liu Zheng thinks.
"Daddy, daddy!"
Just when Qing Yangshuo just picked up the pen and wanted to add some opinions to this "plan", a noisy voice sounded in his ears.
"what happened again!"
Qing Yangshuo had a cold face.
Sure enough, the one who rushed in was Hu Xier again, dragging Mo Chen with him.
Hu Xier giggled and said: "Hurry up, daddy, come out and take a look! Mo Chen has researched it, he has researched it!"
"What?"
Qing Yangshuo was shocked, and for the first time he looked seriously at himself, the "cheap son-in-law" he had never liked...
Mo Chen had a sly look on his face and smiled honestly: "Train, a train that speeds up five times!"
"What?"
Qing Yangshuo's eyelids twitched again.
Mo Chen pushed Qing Yangshuo affectionately, and Hu Xier followed happily. At the same time, Liu Dahao and his wife, who were in Yintan City at this time, and Zheng Yueru also came after hearing the news.
train!
That's right!
steam train!
This is a project that Mo Chen has been working on recently. Based on the rail carriage and the basic theory given to him by Liu Zheng, he developed a steam train!
It lasted a whole year!
From the Newcomen steam engine at the beginning to the single-action steam engine! Then to the double action steam engine!
Come to the final matching centrifugal speed regulator and throttle valve!
At first, the train he developed could only reach a speed of 10 kilometers an hour. Later, it was gradually improved and increased to 60 kilometers. Now, it has reached 80 kilometers an hour!
When Qing Yangshuo saw that this train could accommodate more than a hundred people, his eyes lit up.
For the first time, I feel proud of my "son-in-law".
"Oh, sir is here!"
Liu Dahao and others all greeted Qing Yangshuo.
Qingyang Shuo chuckled.
"Quick, quick, start driving, let's take a look!"
Everyone is excited.
Of course, this train was developed under confidentiality, so at this time, it was also in a confidential workshop in Silver Beach City.
Everyone is staring at this steam train.
Qing Yangshuo couldn't help but hold his breath.
Because he knew that if this train really succeeded, what it would mean to the Liangzhou Army, even to Long Yan, and even to the entire world.
