Chapter 92
Cai Guo and Da Xia Guo are now like a pair of brothers; after dealing with the prime minister, deal with the relevant people. From the general to the housekeeper in front of the prime minister, etc., everything is being dealt with.
Still, things are very different. The emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom's handling of the prime minister was actually a political struggle. The emperor wanted to re-establish the prince and re-establish his majesty at this critical moment. Using the prime minister's knife was the best way. And Cai Guo is purely a struggle between powerful officials.
Also, although the prime minister of the Great Xia Kingdom was imprisoned, his life was not in danger, and his family members were also in no danger, except that they would suffer a little bit of staring. However, Cai Guo's prime minister was different. The lives of the whole family were in danger.
But on the other hand, the Great Xia Kingdom is already in turmoil; it is not that the building is about to collapse, but has already begun to collapse. There is still a battle for the crown prince in the country.
But Cai Guo is in full swing.
In addition, facing the fat of the Great Xia Kingdom, several surrounding countries are gearing up and want to come and take a bite.
For a time, with the Great Xia Kingdom as the center, tens of thousands of miles around were precarious.
And the separatist regimes in various places within the Great Xia Kingdom have also begun to gear up, and everyone understands that the time for the 'King Qin' is coming.
Baofeng County in the northwest of the Great Xia Kingdom is the actual control area of the First Prince, a very vast county with a radius of more than 800 miles. Compared with Anyang, which is only about fifty miles away, it is much stronger. The county of 800 miles has already established the foundation of the country.
Outside the mansion of the First Prince, the First Prince and the officials around him are seeing Li Wei off.
The imperial decree has been delivered, and Li Wei will supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum after returning. At the same time, there was an imperial decree announcing that the eldest prince would be dismissed from the position of crown prince, and the second prince would be registered as the crown prince.
The eldest prince held Li Wei's hand, and said with emotion in his tone, "General Li, have a good journey."
Li Wei sighed, "Your Highness, take care. I will come back and have a look when I have time."
After Li Wei finished speaking, he was about to turn around, but the eldest prince still held Li Wei's hand, "General Li, no matter what, we have been friends for several years. Before leaving, 'Xia Xu' had a small request. this……"
Li Wei sighed in his heart, "Your Highness, it's okay to say."
"Gu wants 200,000 sets of bearings and 300 catties of sea soul silk, and prepares to build a large army to counterattack Cai Guo. Can General Li give me a message?"
Li Wei's heart trembled, the eldest prince's intentions can be said to be obvious; what counterattack Cai Guo, probably because he wants to support his own self-respect.
But this was something he couldn't refuse. Li Wei thought for a while and finally said honestly: "Your Highness, I will definitely bring it. But I'm not sure about the specific situation. The younger brother has always been in charge of business matters."
The eldest prince laughed immediately, "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you bring the words with me. In addition, I have prepared some gifts here, please General Li to help bring them to my sister Xia Qingqing."
Li Wei immediately turned the corner, and talked with the eldest prince for several times, and it was just a way to bring a message to Li Xian; the real intention of the eldest prince is to accomplish his goal through Xia Qingqing!
However, Li Wei had no choice but to accept the gift and leave with his hundred and ten soldiers.
After Li Wei left, the eldest prince's eyes suddenly narrowed. There seemed to be a cold light in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Your Highness, let's go back, we still have a lot of things to do." The First Prince also had Yuan Cai, Yuan Zhao's elder brother beside him. Li Wei is gone, Yuan Cai is still very happy in his heart!
The eldest prince looked into the distance for a long time, finally looked away, and then looked at Yuan Cai, "Yuan Cai, do you think Li Xian can really sell us 200,000 sets of bearings and 300 catties of sea soul silk?"
"His Royal Highness." Yuan Cai said with certainty, "As far as I can see, although this Li Xian has changed a bit, he is still immersed in the so-called weird thinking of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce, and is still obsessed with the so-called market.
As long as we express our willingness to open the market in Baofeng County, then Li Xian will definitely come over.
What's more, there is a princess to help. "
"En!" The eldest prince finally nodded confidently. From the beginning to the end, no one mentioned the so-called replacement of the prince.
In fact, for the First Prince, for the current political situation of the Great Xia Kingdom, as long as he sits in Baofeng County, it doesn't matter whether he has the status of a prince or not!
But Li Wei, after leaving the First Prince's place, accelerated his pace; he traveled non-stop all the way, and only took two days to rush back to Wuyang, and met Li Yulong who was frowning.
"Father, I'm back." Li Wei yelled as soon as he entered the house.
"What is it called!" Li Yulong was worried, "Come here quickly, and take over the construction of the imperial mausoleum now."
"Construction of the imperial mausoleum is not easy, can it be more difficult than marching and fighting!"
"Look for yourself." Li Yulong directly pulled Li Wei over, but went to the side to drink tea and became the hands-off shopkeeper; it seems that Li Xian's attitude of the hands-free shopkeeper is also inherited.
Li Wei didn't care about his dusty clothes, he just lay down in front of the table and looked at it, and he screamed strangely. "What, the emperor didn't even pay a penny, and asked our family to pay? Not to mention the money, but also the effort! This imperial tomb can't be too bad, it is more magnificent than all the imperial tombs in the Great Xia Kingdom in the past. brilliant!
Also, what is this strange request, try not to use spells in the construction of the imperial mausoleum?
Oh, there is another request. His Majesty the Emperor has entered the state of five declines of heaven and man, and his life can only last for three years at most, so we must complete the construction of the imperial mausoleum within two years?
This is simply impossible! I remember that the general imperial mausoleums are built for more than ten years, or even decades! "
Li Yulong listened quietly to Li Wei's words, and then slowly opened his mouth, "You have missed one condition. If you want to build the imperial tomb, but you can't use spells, you need to call a large number of civilians."
Li Wei was dumbfounded, "Civil husband? And where is Daxia now going to recruit civilian husbands? Even if we recruit enough civilian husbands, we still don't have enough food. Father, the imperial mausoleum can't be completed at all. Why didn't you push it back?" It's over!"
"Push? You put it lightly. In fact, this is the emperor's protection for our Li family; well, it is also a kind of restraint!"
Li Wei had black lines all over his face, "Father, your words are too profound, I can't understand them."
"It's fine if you don't understand. It's a good thing for you to remember that building the imperial mausoleum is a good thing; why didn't His Majesty allocate funds to us? To put it bluntly, let us spend money to buy peace!"
"I still don't understand..." Li Wei was embarrassed.
Li Yulong let out a long breath, "Second brother, you'd better be your general, and don't meddle in political matters."
Li Wei was very unconvinced, "I'll ask the third child, he definitely doesn't know."
Li Yulong waved his hand, "Go, go to Anyang to find Lao San. If you want to build the imperial mausoleum, you really need Lao San's support. Unexpectedly, in just one and a half years, such a situation has opened up."
