"It's hard for me to say this, because the man behind this time is Dou Hou. Although the emperor is interested in Li Qi'an's knife, the knife is not sharp enough to cut through the deep-rooted towering tree of the Dou family! "The high country is fair.
The prince frowned, "Then the prince's work has been in vain again."
"It's just hard to say what I said, not necessarily. It is indeed impossible to cut off Dou's towering tree with one knife, but a small knife can also cut the big tree!" Gao Guogong said.
"Cut a big tree with a small knife?" The prince raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"It means that as long as the method is used appropriately, the blade is cut accurately, and the cut is directed towards the target, even a towering tree can be made to fall." Gao Guogong said.
"Does Duke Gao really think Li Qi'an has this ability?" the prince asked.
"Does Your Highness hope that he has this ability?" Gao Guogong asked.
"If he is really capable, he is indeed a talent, but this kind of person is beyond the control of this prince, and I will not let him be used by Prince Jing when the time comes!" The prince said, "Of course, all of this, It depends on whether he really has the ability."
"Then your highness's friendship with Li Qian is just for the emperor's sake?" Gao Guogong said.
"Since my father attaches great importance to this sword, if I don't value this sword anymore, wouldn't it mean that I am going against my father? I don't want to take advantage of Prince Jing in vain," the prince said.
Gao Guogong was silent.
…
A few days later.
A group of cavalry in strange uniforms came to the capital aggressively.
Pedestrians all avoided it, and even the busy streets suddenly became empty.
Of course it was the envoy sent by the Western Qiang Kingdom.
When they saw this scene, they all laughed and were full of pride.
Some people even shouted that the people in the Dacheng Dynasty were indeed trash.
There were more than a dozen of them, and among them there seemed to be a high-status Xiqiang man.
Even Dou Huaishan came out to greet him personally.
They came at the right time, because tomorrow is the birthday of Emperor Li Yuanxian.
At this time, the palace was also busy preparing for tomorrow's birthday banquet.
Of course, Li Yuanxian doesn't have to worry about all this.
At this time, he was watching the report sent back from Jiangdong by Prince Jing.
The report stated that the floods in Jiangdong had subsided and the victims had been properly resettled.
But after the disaster, an epidemic broke out again, and I didn’t know when I would be able to return to Beijing.
At the end of the report, King Jing also expressed his regret that he could not return to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, and expressed his apology.
After reading the report, Li Yuanxian also sighed.
If the prince could be as diligent as Prince Jing, he would have less to worry about.
"Your Majesty, the Xiqiang envoy has arrived in the capital."
At this time, Wang Chun came to report immediately.
Li Yuanxian threw down the report in his hand and sneered, "Dou Huaishan finally got them here."
"Your Majesty, King Qiang has sent his younger brother He Musi here this time. Do they need to be arranged to go to Honglu Temple?" Wang Chun bowed and asked.
"We also sent a prince here, which is interesting." Li Yuanxian sneered, "Let Dou Huaishan make arrangements. Anyway, he is familiar with those Xiqiang people."
Then he waved his hand and asked Wang Chun to go down.
Wang Chun had just walked to the door when he was called back again.
"Does Li Qian know?" Li Yuanxian asked.
"My slave doesn't know either," Wang Chun said.
"Send someone to inform him. This time, I want to see what preparations he has made. If all the ministers really force me to kill him at the birthday banquet tomorrow, I will have no choice then. ." Li Yuanxian said, "Give him all my words."
After Wang Chun went down.
Li Yuanxian rubbed his eyebrows.
I hope this kid won't let him down!
In another courtyard.
Li Qian is picking peppers.
Yes, there are several pots of pepper trees in the prince's courtyard.
The pepper tree he found in Shiliang City was brought from the capital by Fan Tongtuo.
This thing is for people to watch in the capital, and it can only be seen in the homes of dignitaries. It can also be said that having this thing is also a symbol of status.
It's no wonder that Fan Tonghui regarded him as a treasure at first.
As for where this thing came from, Li Qian had no way of knowing, and there was no need for him to get to the bottom of it. Anyway, this thing had already been planted in Beiba Village and would definitely be seen everywhere in the future.
The seventh princess had immediately come to tell Li Qian that the Xiqiang envoy was here.
Li Qian just smiled lightly and didn't seem to have much reaction.
The seventh princess was stunned for a while.
"Li Qian, my princess sees that you have been very leisurely these past few days. Are you really so confident?"
"Seventh Princess, the arrival of those Xiqiang envoys is not a big deal and is expected by everyone. Do I have to be surprised for you to be satisfied?" Li Qian said with a smile.
