Great Tang Southern Emperor

Liu Rengui was also overjoyed when the fleet got the talent of Mutter by accident. Facing such a talent, it was natural to try to win him over in various ways.Even Liu Rengui promised that if possible, he would recommend Mutt to His Royal Highness as the steward sent by Datang to Luzon Island, and let him continue to be the chief of his own tribe and become the legal ruler sent by Datang to his tribe.

Mutter was overjoyed at this. After all, he was the chief of the tribe in the ball. He was the chief of the tribe in the ball before. It was because the tribe in the ball was living in the cracks, so he had to do it. If it was possible, who would like to live such a life?If he can get the support of Datang, then he will be much more comfortable as the chief. The three major tribes who were in the right and left before will be their turn to please him.

Thinking of Mute here, he couldn't help but have a good impression of Liu Rengui, and even tried his best to lead the way.Under the guidance of Mutter, the Far Exploration Fleet was divided into two, leaving only [-]% of the fleet on Luzon Island to continue to make friends with the major tribes and explore various resources on Luzon Island.

The remaining [-]% continued to head towards the southern Luzon Islands under the leadership of Mutter. The first exploration target was Mindoro Island next to Luzon Island.Of course, in this era, the island is naturally not called this name, and even Li Zhen did not name it, but according to the rules of the sea, the right to name it was given to the discoverer, that is, Liu Rengui. As for what Liu Rengui would do The name depends on what he means.

Not to mention Liu Rengui who explored Luzon, Yuezhou, today a batch of goods has also been transported into the city of Yuezhou.

After this period of development, Yuezhou has completely changed from before. Although the previous Yuezhou was also a Shangzhou, it was more of a conciliatory meaning. After all, Lingnan is also a Tao, and there is no Shangzhou. (Ben San counted. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Lingnan seemed to be a Shangzhou of Guangzhou. I really didn’t see anything else. Quanzhou, Jianzhou, and Fuzhou seemed to be not Shangzhou at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, it may be mine. The information is wrong, everyone is welcome to help correct me), that is too low.So this Yuezhou is actually picking a general among the cripples. Compared with the real Shangzhou, the actual situation is actually a little worse.

But that was before, and now, after the full development of the Yue Palace, Yuezhou has completely changed from before.Among other things, the city wall alone, although its height has not changed, is several times longer than before, and it is still poured with cement. Compared with the previous earth wall made of glutinous rice juice and earthwork, it is stronger. Just one or two times.More importantly, the streets in the city are also covered with concrete pavement, so you don't have to worry about getting your shoes dirty on rainy days.

A concrete road for four carriages protrudes from the city to the pier.

Today, on this road, a convoy is driving slowly towards Yuezhou City.

A convoy was driving on the road to Yuezhou City.This was nothing at first, but now that Yuezhou City is developing so fast, there are countless caravans coming and going every day, it's just a caravan, it's no big deal.

According to common sense, there is really nothing special about this, at most it is just adding a flag of the Yue Palace, but...

In this world, how many caravans can the King of Yue go out of the city to greet him in person?

That's right, this is the special feature of this caravan. Although the caravan has not yet arrived, a group of people have gathered at the gate of the city. The leader is Li Zhen, and the rest are the most famous figures in Yuezhou City .

"Why haven't you arrived yet?" Li Zhen took a telescope and looked at the end of the road, but unfortunately, the caravan never appeared.

"Your Highness, it's all over now, and you still haven't told the old minister, what exactly was in that caravan? It's worth such a big move by His Highness? Not only did you cancel the report meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, but even the discussion on the next step of Lingnan's military operation plan The meeting has been rejected?" Beside Li Zhen, the chubby grandson Wuji asked curiously.

Changsun Wuji has been in Lingnan for some time. After receiving the imperial decree, he drove to Lingnan non-stop, and finally arrived in Lingnan in mid-November.

After arriving in Lingnan, Changsun Wuji first expressed his kindness to Li Zhen.Li Zhen has been in Datang for so many years, and her emotional intelligence has long been tempered. She naturally accepted Changsun Wuji's kindness, and then appointed Changsun Wuji to be in charge of Nanyang's military material dispatch—although Changsun Wuji has a bit more desire for power , but his ability is indeed beyond doubt.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would not be ranked first among the 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion. There are indeed reasons why he and Changsun Wuji were young and married Changsun Wuji's younger sister, but the more important thing is Changsun Wuji's ability , otherwise how could others not gossip?

Under Changsun Wuji's dispatch, there was no more confusion in the military supplies in Nanyang, which was much better than before.

"Uncle, there is no need to doubt. Naturally, I have my reasons for doing this." Li Zhen smiled slightly: "It's okay to delay the Chamber of Commerce's report for a day or two. As for Nanyang's next military action plan, let alone this, Now that even Pyu has submitted a letter of surrender, who else in Nanyang will be our opponent?"

The Pyu Kingdom is now part of Burma, a branch of the Tibeto-Burman clan, and the predecessor of the Burmese.

And what Myanmar has, it is well known - emerald.

"The old minister is also very curious, what is His Highness bringing back?" Cen Wenwen also asked curiously: "Could it be some important gold, silver and jewelry?"

"It does belong to the category of jewelry." Li Zhen didn't deny it either, this time he brought back rough jadeite: "It's a kind of jade."

"Jade?" Cen Wenwen frowned, a little dissatisfied with Li Zhen's performance. It was just a little jade that made him work so hard. His Royal Highness King Yue even went out of the city to greet him in person. Let others know, maybe they will read Li Zhen's book in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Mr. Cen, don't be surprised, the original batch of jade is really nothing, but according to this batch, I have to welcome it." Li Zhen smiled and said: "After a while, it will be the birthday of the father. If you are not filial, The major event in Lingnan is pending, so I can't go back to Chang'an to celebrate my father's birthday, so I can only use this emerald to make a batch of jewelry for my father, which can be regarded as my son's kindness."

"I see." Cen Wenwen immediately turned his anger into joy: "Your Highness is filial, and I think His Majesty will understand His painstaking efforts."

"..." Changsun Wuji gave Li Zhen a weird look, is it really that simple?Are you sure you're not using your father's name to advertise?But I heard that you have contracted a large area of ​​land in Piao, and you are digging stones in full swing.

However, he just thought about these words in his heart, and did not expose Li Zhen's small thoughts.Changsun Wuji is a smart man, especially now that he is living under Li Zhen's fence, so he can't offend Li Zhen at this time.

Chapter 597

Chapter 62

Just as the few people were talking, a fast horse rider came to report: "Your Highness, the convoy is about to arrive, and we are still five miles away."

"Very well, everyone, the ceremony and music are ready to play."

Since Li Zhen went out of the city to welcome Jade in the name of Li Shimin's birthday, it was natural to do a full set of plays, not only he went out of the city to meet him himself, but also a lot of etiquette such as sacrifices, ritual music, and roll call.

It took a long time to complete a set of rituals, and even with Li Zhen's physical strength, she was about to collapse.However, from the expressions of Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen and the others, Li Zhen knew that she did not do this in vain, and she should be able to cover the mouths of the people in the world.

However, some people just couldn't understand Li Zhen's actions, and they said venomously: "Your Highness, this time to welcome Fei Cui to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, so why didn't the concubine come? This is not in line with etiquette, and this is a big disfilial."

"Wang Zhicheng, Wang Yushi, right?" Li Zhen looked at the speaker with a frown. This person is a disciple of the Wang family, and he came to Lingnan with the eldest grandson Wuji. Originally, according to Li Shimin's intention, only one eldest grandson Wuji was sent. It is enough to help Li Zhen, but the aristocratic family refuses to agree, and they are pressing every step of the way, so they must send a few more people.

Helpless, Li Shimin had no choice but to relax more quotas for coming to Lingnan. As a result, except for Changsun Wuji, who was sent by Li Shimin, the other dozen people all had connections with the family in one way or another.

However, seeing that most of these people were censors and admonishers and other idle positions, and had little influence on her plan, Li Zhen simply ignored them.

Unexpectedly, after this group of people came to Lingnan, they would pick their noses and eyes vertically, find faults in all kinds of ways, pick bones in their eggs, and even intend to interfere in Lingnan affairs, just like flies, which is annoying. As far as Li Zhen himself, down to the ordinary people, no one wants to see them.

"Wang Zhicheng, you are presumptuous." Before Li Zhen could speak, Changsun Wuji scolded angrily: "No one in the world knows that the princess has been pregnant for several months and is about to give birth—you let her out to see the wind at this time, what is your intention? ?”

"Indeed, Wang Zhicheng, you are going too far." Cen Wenwen's face was not good-looking: "It is indeed important to pray for His Majesty, but isn't the child in the womb of the princess not important? There are priorities, and the princess is pregnant with His Majesty's grandson. You I think if His Majesty chooses, will he choose his grandson, or will he choose to let the princess come out to pray for him?

What's more, how do you know that the princess has not expressed her filial piety?The princess did not come out, but before His Royal Highness came out, the princess had already said that she would fast in the palace for three days and pray for His Majesty—is this not an expression of the princess's filial piety? "

"I don't care about these things. I only know that the princess did not show up for such an important ceremony. This is not in line with the etiquette. This is a great disrespect to His Majesty. I want to go to His Royal Highness." It's a pity that facing Changsun Wuji Wang Zhicheng was unmoved by the reprimands of the two—but also, why did the aristocratic family send these people to Lingnan?Isn't it just to make trouble for Li Zhen while supervising Li Zhen?Of course, the people sent here are all hobgoblins, especially this Wang Zhicheng, who is famous for being unreasonable, so how could he play with Li Zhen?

"Want to join me? Of course there is no problem." Li Zhen sneered and said, "But if you can join me, Wang Yushi, then I can also join you in turn?"

"Join me? Hehe, I don't know what's wrong with the old minister, but His Highness labored to personally participate in the old minister?" Wang Zhicheng sneered: "Your Highness, you better give me an explanation, otherwise I will crash and die in front of this city gate today, and let God preside over it for me." justice."

Fuck, this old thing is such a jerk.

Li Zhen was furious: "Then what if I can point out your guilt? What are you going to do?"

"The old minister should absolve himself of the crime."

Li Zhen said angrily: "I don't need you to punish me, I just need you to crash to death in front of this city gate and apologize to God."

"Your Highness can't." Changsun Wuji was shocked. Although Wang Zhicheng was a bastard, he was sent by the emperor on the surface. If he crashed and died at the gate of the city, no matter what the reason was, it would definitely make Li Shimin feel uncomfortable.

"It's okay." Li Zhen waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care, and fixed her eyes on Wang Zhicheng: "Why? Do you dare? If you don't dare, then shut your mouth. If you dare, then let's start now."

Wang Zhicheng's forehead was sweating, and he said forcefully: "Then, what if what His Highness said is unreasonable?"

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Didn't you say it? If what I said is unreasonable, you will crash and die at the gate of this city. Please God judge justice."

"Pfft~"

Everyone complained, Li Zhen is too naughty, no matter whether what he said makes sense or not, Wang Zhicheng will definitely die. It is strange that Wang Zhicheng would agree to such a bet.

"...Your Highness, let's talk about it first. I don't think I'm at fault." Wang Zhicheng was sweating even more. He didn't expect that King Yue would be so easy to provoke at such a young age.

"It's very simple, what time is it now?" Li Zhen suddenly broke out: "Now is the time to pray for blessings, and the sacrifice has not been completed just now, so you stand up and make trouble? Do you see the father in your eyes?" ? Have you ever taken God to heart? You keep saying that it’s not proper, but if you think about it yourself, what you do is very proper?”

"Beautiful." Everyone cheered for Li Zhen. It is true. You don't follow the etiquette yourself, and you still have the face to say that others are unreasonable. You are playing too slippery with double standards, right?

"Minister..." Wang Zhicheng had nothing to say, he was only concerned about making trouble for Li Zhen at that time, but he didn't expect that he would also commit a taboo, and now that Li Zhen pointed it out, he immediately had nothing to say.
