"Your Highness, it's time to eat."
Inside the house, Liu Qi stood in front of the window, looking at the falling snowflakes outside. When he heard Zhao Wenhui's voice, he slowly turned around.
"Wenhui, it's snowing."
Zhao Wenhui placed the food on the table.
"Yes, Your Highness, the snow this year came earlier than before."
Liu Qi waved, and Zhao Wenhui walked over without any hesitation.
As soon as he arrived, Liu Qi took him into his arms.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, is there anyone else outside?"
Liu Qi didn't care, he leaned over, faced Zhao Wenhui's lips, and gave them a peck.
This move made Zhao Wenhui so shy that her cheeks immediately turned red.
Liu Qi looked at her with a wicked smile.
"Huh? I haven't been close to you for many days, why are you so shy so easily?"
"Your Highness! What are you talking about? There are people outside the door."
"It's okay. My voice is so low that they can't hear it."
However, at this moment, she suddenly heard a cough outside. Zhao Wenhui felt anxious and immediately pushed Liu Qi away.
At this time, Qin Wei was seen walking in.
Of course he knew what was going on in the house. Seeing Zhao Wenhui looking a little flustered, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Uh... Your Highness, I just came to report that General Bai, Mr. Lu, and Luo Cheng have already left the country."
Liu Qi nodded.
"good."
"Have you urged Li Shouting? How is he preparing?"
Speaking of him, Qin Wei laughed again and again.
"I've urged him a long time ago. This old guy has been delaying on purpose on the grounds of being unwell. He is probably waiting for the imperial edict so that he can be transferred back quickly before visiting the Huns."
Liu Qi sneered.
"Humph, transfer back? In my dream, I have already informed my father that this matter must be done by Mr. Li, and no one else is qualified. As for Yang Wenyuan, there is no need to worry at all. He and Li Shouting came here this time just because they framed me. , If you go back like this, you will inevitably be questioned by the emperor, and I am afraid that Yang Wenyuan and the others will be involved."
"But, after all, Li Shouting is the Minister of War and Yang Wenyuan's right-hand man. Come to think of it, he won't just watch Li Shouting go to the Huns to die, right?"
But Liu Qi's answer was.
"Of course not."
"If my guess is correct, if Li Shouting told Yang Wenyuan about this matter, not only would Yang Wenyuan not urge him to come back, but he would also strongly agree with him to go. 80% of the time, he would also explain it to him, and naturally he would tell the Xiongnu , how to target this king."
Zhao Wenhui on the side heard this and frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, if that's the case, then you still let him go."
"The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth. Yang Wenyuan wants to do it. Even without Li Shouting, he can still do it. Since we can't stop it, let him do it."
"I also want to know what their plans are, and they can only dismantle them when they see their plan."
Zhao Wenhui couldn't help but sigh. The prince is really different from ordinary people.
Others were thinking about how to prevent trouble from happening, but he seemed to be eager to get into trouble.
"Qin Lieutenant, I heard from the report that the prince of the Tubo Kingdom will arrive in Pingcheng tomorrow, right?"
Tubo Kingdom is a small and remote country close to the female empire. For Daqing, it is about the size of an ordinary city.
Although it is called a country, its monarch can only be called the King of Tubo. As an emperor, he really does not have the strength.
Naturally, his son was called a prince, not a prince.
Although this Tubo is not big and does not have any decent army, it has always relied on paying tribute to the surrounding South Korea and the female empire to survive.
But speaking of it, they are extremely good at doing business, and their industries are spread across various countries.
It is no exaggeration to say that the local economies of many countries are driven by Tibetan people. Therefore, the world also has another name for them, local merchants.
"Yes, Your Highness, I also heard from Wu Tianxu that we should arrive in Pingcheng at noon tomorrow."
"They are really powerful. There are countless large and small properties in this Pingcheng. Even the one you usually go to to listen to books is said to have half of their properties."
It is not that Liu Qi had not understood these commercial properties that Qin Wei admired.
To be honest, although it was profitable, it was too old-fashioned. In his opinion, the Tubo people were still not bold enough. If they used it in overseas business, the degree of profit would definitely be greater than it is now.
"Qin Lieutenant, when the prince arrives tomorrow, make an appointment for me, and just listen to the fragrance of books there."
Zhao Wenhui asked with some confusion.
"Your Highness, a little Tibetan prince, why do you see him?"
In Zhao Wenhui's eyes, the prince of the Tubo Kingdom was actually no different from a prefect.
Moreover, as a prince, he was doing business everywhere and devalued his status. When the prince met him, he was afraid of humiliating the prince's status.
"Wen Hui, do you look down on him as a businessman?"
Zhao Wenhui did not object and nodded silently.
It’s no wonder she thinks like this. In the minds of ancient people, scholars, peasants, industrialists, and businessmen are always the lowest beings.
If Lu Liang hadn't been able to advise him, no official would have looked at him seriously.
"Wen Hui, Qin Wei, you must not underestimate businessmen. Although businessmen pursue profits, a country as big as a country or a county as small as a county cannot develop without these businessmen."
"Businessmen are an important part of driving the country's prosperity. Only when the country has money can it have strong soldiers and abundant horses, so that it can build more facilities that are beneficial to the people."
"Take their money, do some practical things, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't this more important than anything else?"
Zhao Wenhui and Qin Wei listened with half-understanding.
Liu Qi didn't want to explain to them any more.
Deep-rooted concepts cannot be made clear to them in just one or two sentences.
"Your Highness, do you have any business to do when you meet this prince?"
Liu Qi responded.
"Yes and no."
This sentence immediately confused Qin Wei. If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. What does this mean?
"I do have the intention to cooperate with him in business, but it depends on whether he has the qualifications."
"What I want to do is not just as simple as doing business, but I have a big plan."
Zhao Wenhui and Qin Wei didn't ask much about what this big plan was.
As a subordinate, sometimes I can ask my superiors to understand everything.
...
The next day, noon.
Liu Qizheng was sitting in the elegant pavilion listening to the fragrance of books, listening to the storyteller outside telling the story between himself and the Huns.
In the past few days, he would come over almost whenever he had something to do, not for anything else but to kill some boring time.
I have to say that this storyteller is really good at editing, and it can also be said that he has extremely rich imagination.
Take the Kingdom of Printing and the Xiongnu as an example. When the prince appeared, there was a strong wind, thunder, and dragons intertwined in the sky, which directly scared off the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops.
Seeing such a scene at that time, there were even Huns kneeling on the ground and praying devoutly, thinking that their gods had appeared.
Even more so, Prince Saruman's army was immediately disarmed.
Daqing's army defeated Saruman's army almost effortlessly. And there were no casualties.
This is simply an exaggeration. However, the people are willing to listen to this. It is somewhat similar to modern Shuangwen.
Just when Liu Qi was listening with interest, suddenly there was a sound at the door.
"Your Highness, the prince of Tubo has arrived."
It was Qin Wei's voice.
Liu Qi put down Erlang's legs, which he was looking at, and tugged on his clothes that were a little loose.
"come in."
And the moment he opened the door, Liu Qi's face suddenly showed a very shocked expression...
