Great Tang Southern Emperor

Seeing that Li Zhen was about to get up and leave, Qin Qiong quickly grabbed Li Zhen, shook her head and said, "How can I do that? Zhen'er, your thinking is too simple. Before we came, His Majesty specifically explained that we will all be with you Everyone who goes to sea must be present."

Li Zhen smiled immediately: "Then it's over, your order can't be carried out."

"Why?"

"Because Luo Zhe and Zhang Jianzhi are not here." Li Zhen smiled brighter: "I put them overseas to help Datang open up colonies, and there are three thousand soldiers with them. I can't come back."

"This..." Qin Qiong was dumbfounded, and secretly regretted that he had spoken too much, and quickly corrected him: "What I just said, Your Majesty means that all those who come back with you must be present."

"Master, do you have something to hide from me?" No matter how stupid Li Zhen was, no matter how indifferent he was, he could sense that something was wrong with Qin Qiong: "I think back then, Sai Mengchang, who rode on both sides of the Yellow River and beat three prefectures and six prefectures, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao have always been spit and nailed, and always said one is one, and two is two, when did you change your words?"

"I..." Qin Qiong was speechless.

"What's going on?" Li Zhen asked again.

Qin Qiong sighed: "I can't say it as a teacher. In short, if you let you go with your harvest, it will definitely not harm you."

"Didn't my mother come later?" Li Zhen suddenly thought of Qin Qiong's change of words just now, and abruptly changed the emperor to king. Li Zhen didn't think of it at first, but combined with Qin Qiong's abnormality now, if Li Zhen wanted to If he doesn't come up with something, then he is really a fool - anyone who can be started with the word 'huang' by Qin Qiong is either surnamed Huang, or the emperor or queen.As for the other sons of the emperor, they all have their own titles. Qin Qiong usually calls them His Highness, or His Royal Highness Prince, instead of directly calling him Prince.

First of all, there is no important minister surnamed Huang in the court, so the first one may be ruled out.

Then there is only the second possibility left, but Li Shimin, as the emperor, needs to guard Chang'an, so it is impossible to come here, so the only one who came here is the queen, who is Li Zhen's biological mother, Concubine Yan.

Moreover, Li Zhen is the son of Concubine Yan, and it is reasonable for Concubine Yan to come in person as a mother for such a big incident happened to Li Zhen...

"Well...the Empress Dowager is indeed here." Qin Qiong admitted honestly with a nod.

Li Zhen's heart was finally relieved: "Oh, what should I do? Master, you are too disrespectful. You didn't tell me when I was behind the scenes. She hurts me, even if she thinks about it, she is reluctant to punish me severely."

"The empress forbade you to say it, but what you said is correct, the empress will definitely not punish you severely." The strangeness in Qin Qiong's eyes flashed, but it was a pity that Li Zhen just relaxed and didn't see it.

After thinking for a while, Qin Qiong said again: "However, just in case, you should bring all the gains from your trip. From your appearance, the gains from this trip are not small. In case the empress is really angry , if you take out these things, you can also please the empress."

"Then listen to Master." Li Zhen nodded repeatedly.

Li Zhen loaded the three merchant ships full, and even the Emperor was filled with goods brought back from Borneo by Li Zhen—you must know that Borneo’s spices are also very famous, such as sandalwood and agarwood. They are all special products here. In addition, Li Zhen packed a whole boat with all kinds of medicinal materials. This is just the result of Li Zhen's random two rounds around the beach in Sabah. It can be seen how rich Borneo is at this time. Fuyu, if he can search with all his strength, he will definitely get more treasures.

"Oh...it's broken."

Li Zhen suddenly screamed, and Qin Qiong was shocked: "What's the situation? What's wrong? It's broken?"

"I suddenly remembered that I didn't tell Luo Zhe and Zhang Jianzhi to help me search for treasures before I left." Li Zhen said regretfully, "Master, you don't know, the Spice Islands are nothing more than that. Besides spices, there are only some rare animals left, but Borneo has a lot of treasures. It can be said that there are treasures everywhere. If Luo Zhe can pay attention to it in the next period of time, he will definitely get a lot of good things. something."

Li Zhen said with a look of regret.

"..." Qin Qiong felt that his fist could no longer bear it anymore, and wanted to hit Li Zhen's head twice, but thought that he would take Li Zhen to see...the one, and he would be beaten up at that time It is indispensable, so don't add fuel to the fire yourself.

"Forget it, Luo Zhe is not an idiot. I don't need to explain, he should do the same." Li Zhen didn't notice Qin Qiong's already dark face, and laughed loudly: "Master, come with me, I'll take you with me." You go and see the harvest of my trip, there are many good treasures inside, I guarantee that you have never seen them before, when the time comes, you can pick two and go back as family heirlooms or something."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Qin Qiong said with a smile, he didn't have to shy away from it. It is right for an apprentice to respect his master. Even if Li Shimin knew it, he could only praise Li Zhen for his filial piety, and he would not say anything else, let alone I will punish you.

"Master, you are joking, why are you being polite to me?"

"..."

After all the things on the boat were moved to the pier and loaded into the carriage, Li Zhen followed Qin Qiong to Wuzhuang Temple excitedly.

"Hey, speaking of it, I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I really want to go to Wuzhuang Temple right away." Riding on the horse, Li Zhen said hurriedly, feeling even more impatient in her heart, as if someone had gained something. Children who achieve and then look forward to showing off to their parents generally.

"Hehe, Your Highness, don't worry, Wuzhuang Temple is just outside the city of Yuezhou, and we will arrive soon." The corners of Qin Qiong's mouth twitched. You are talking about this right now, and I don't believe that when you arrive at Wuzhuang Temple, Dare to go in.

"That's right." After hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but sit still.

Wuzhuang Temple is located on a mountainside outside Yuezhou City—to be precise, the entire mountain is occupied by various buildings from the mountainside down. These buildings have different styles, such as Jiangnan gardens, There are also northern attics, western style, and Mediterranean style... The buildings of various styles gather together, not only do not feel chaotic, but have a strange beauty.

These are all designed by Li Zhen specially hired architects from all over the world, and no matter what style, these buildings belong to the industry of Wuzhuang Temple without exception. As for the real Wuzhuang Temple, it is halfway up the mountain, where There is a real Taoist temple, and there is the real Wuzhuang Temple.

Chapter 225 Five Villas View

Wuzhuang Temple is divided into two parts. The one on the mountainside is the main body of Wuzhuang Temple. As for the buildings below, which have different styles from east to west, north and south, they belong to the Wuzhuang Temple industry and are used by pilgrims to stay and rest.

These properties were rewarded by Li Zhen to Wuzhuang Temple. Correspondingly, with this property, the monthly income is enough for all Taoist priests in Wuzhuang Temple to eat and wear. Therefore, Li Zhen did not reward them with land, or even The Taoist priests on the mountain were allowed to buy land privately, and those who violated the order were severely punished.

Li Zhen knew it, although all the monks and Taoists in history talked about living in peace and happiness, in fact, every one of them was very rich. In addition to the aristocratic family, these monks are the most important executors of land annexation.

It was precisely because of this that Li Zhen simply deprived them of the qualification to buy land. For monks, as long as they can chant scriptures and pray for blessings to fool believers, it is enough. Why do they need so many fields?

Even if it is impossible to grant property and has to distribute land, Li Zhen still calculates according to the per capita amount, and the monks also need to pay taxes for farming, unless you do not farm.

This is the result of the implementation of the Buddhist Association and Daoist Association established by Li Zhen. Li Zhen will not violate it, and Ziren will not allow others to violate it.

Although the Wuzhuang Temple is only halfway up the mountain, in fact, in terms of area, it is not inferior to those industries at the foot of the mountain. After all, Li Zhenke intends to use the Wuzhuang Temple outside Yuezhou City as the Taoist "Zhenyuan School" Of course, the one used by the ancestral home should be better built.

So don't look at the Wuzhuang Temple as much simpler than the restaurants and inns at the foot of the mountain. In fact, if it is really about the money spent, there are more Wuzhuang Temples on the mountain.

With the reconstruction of Li Zhen's Prince's Palace, Li Zhen temporarily placed the Prince's Palace in Wuzhuang Temple. It is the safest place to be guarded by imperial guards outside and Taoist priests inside.

Wuzhuang Temple is mainly divided into three palaces. The first is naturally Zhenyuan Palace, which is dedicated to the Zhenyuan Immortal and is located in the middle. The second is Sanqing Palace, which is dedicated to Sanqing and is located on the left. The last one is Ersheng Palace. Those who enshrine are the two empresses of the emperor and the empress, who are on the right.

In one dimension, the three palaces are equal in size and similar in decoration style. Except for their different positions, there is basically no difference. This also means that the status of the three parties is equal, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

The three main halls each have an equal number of nine side halls, as well as archways, steles, pavilions and attics. The total number of buildings of various sizes is almost hundreds—so it is said that there are three palaces, but they are actually three palaces. Three relatively independent but inseparable building complexes.

And Li Zhen temporarily lived in the side hall of the Ersheng Palace. As for the main hall, it must not be allowed. It is a place for worshiping gods, and it is not for people to sleep, even if this person is Li Zhen.

So if Concubine Yan came, it must be in Ersheng Palace.

"Mother's queen, mother's queen..." Li Zhen started shouting before entering the second holy hall.

At this time, the Ersheng Palace had already been taken over by the Ouchi guards, no one was allowed to approach, even the accompanying maids and eunuchs were not allowed to enter or leave easily without a warrant.

But this prohibition will naturally have no effect when facing Li Zhen.

Looking at Li Zhen who ran in, the guards guarding the palace gate hadn't had time to salute him, how dare they block his way?

"Mother and stepmother, you didn't tell your sons and daughters when you came..." There are nine side halls in Ersheng Palace, but it is not easy to find the location of Concubine Yan. The strictest place must be where Concubine Yan is.

Among the nine side halls, the guards of the Xiyang Hall on the left side of Ersheng Palace are the most. Li Zhen rushed in without hesitation, but...

Li Zhen was dumbfounded when she saw the people in Xi Rang Hall...

Gently turning her head, Li Zhen looked at Qin Qiong who was following with a weeping face: "Master, you tricked me."

"How did you trick you as a teacher?" Qin Qiong blocked the door of the palace with a smile: "Isn't the queen here?"

"But you didn't say that the queen mother didn't come alone. You cheated me." Li Zhen cried. Qin Qiong did not lie to him. Concubine Yan was indeed there. They are all there, but this is not everyone in Xiyang Hall.
