Seeing that Li Xian looked like he was listening carefully, King Ming and Li Zhi glanced at each other, and then told in detail about their conversation with Li Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

There are a lot of things involved, and this talk has been going on for nearly half an hour.

Not only did Li Xian's face become more solemn the more he listened, but he was also shocked by this long-term consideration.

They were both pleased with Li Zhi's loyalty and amazed by his long-term strategy.

It was them themselves, if it weren't for such a detailed analysis, it would have been difficult to think of such a deep depth, and gradually, no one on the scene would treat him as a young man anymore.

In fact, Li Xian felt quite depressed in his heart, he was even a few years older than Li Zhi, but he obviously felt that there was such a big gap between his thoughts and this person.

Fortunately, he knew that Li Zhi did not really have the heart to participate in political affairs, because he was talking about it right now:

"Guangzhou is the first city to set up a foreign envoy, and when the management of the main ports of the machine is on the right path, I hope that the imperial court will consider setting up a few more such official offices to manage foreign trade. In a few years, the port of Guangzhou will inevitably be surrendered, and my role will be to open up and improve the channels for foreign trade, and when these are realized, I will completely withdraw from the imperial court's affairs. ”

This decision has been communicated with King Ming in advance, and his status as a cultivator does not allow too much interference in the government affairs, and it is a matter of time before he takes this step.

If the royal family surnamed Li had been in power, they would have been able to hold on for a few more years, but the reality was already doomed, before Wu Zetian usurped the throne, Li Zhi had to withdraw in time.

Just because he is in the officialdom, his own loopholes will be displayed in front of the Empress Wu, and with his own and commercial influence, it doesn't really matter if he has an official identity.

Moreover, he was so busy that he barely touched the ground, and the time spent just on the round trip had already delayed most of his cultivation.

Lao Ming understood these truths, but Li Xian didn't know much about them, so he was still persuading in his mouth:

"Why did Mr. Li say this? The Guangzhou City Envoy was established at the beginning, and the huge changes in it have been quite exciting, as far as I know, the foreign trade of Guangzhou Port alone has increased the tax revenue by more than ten times. With the combination of Fuzhou and Quanzhou, it will surely become the next Guangzhou port. Now there are infinite prospects for Dengzhou Port, and Mr. Li's role is irreplaceable! At least in my opinion, Sir must not leave it alone! ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the successful model of a port can be replicated, unlike the intricacies of other affairs, the port problem is very common, as long as the general direction does not deviate, as long as the selfish distractions are abandoned, everyone can be competent!" ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

"Just like the current Mingzhou Port, just like the previous Guangzhou Port, the difference is only that the relevant corrupt personnel have been changed from the Guangzhou Assassin Mansion to the three lieutenant generals in the Wanghai Navy. Ezhou Mansion Shaoyin Li Ting Li Lerong was appointed to the Wanghai Navy some time ago, but he was seriously excluded, and most of the time he could only return to Ezhou Mansion to be his part-time Shaoyin. Just ......"

Seeing Li Zhi's embarrassed look, Li Xian smiled and said: "Mr. Li, it doesn't matter, no matter who is involved, as long as it infringes on the interests of the imperial court, it will inevitably be severely cracked down!" ”

"The situation Li Ting faced is just like the original Guangzhou Port, one of the three lieutenant generals, Wu Sibao, a martial artist, is the most arrogant, as long as the hope of the navy does not appear, he is almost covering the sky with one hand. He and two other generals secretly united with the local local regiments to wantonly encroach on the imperial court materials and taxes in the port, and only those who showed up for them appeared

Local evil forces. And because the united soldiers have received strong support from the Wanghai Navy, they are reckless, even if they are soldiers of the Admiral's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion, they don't dare to provoke easily! ”

Li Ting is indeed staying in Ezhou Mansion at present, even if Li Zhi is matched to him with two first-class masters, in just two months, it is impossible for him to find a breakthrough faster from the collusion of forces that have been entrenched for many years.

At present, he placed the two of them in Mingzhou Port and hid out by himself, hoping that the secret investigation would not be detected too early.

"Hiss......" King Jiancheng didn't know about it, and when he heard it at this time, he couldn't help but gasp: "Let's not mention the matter of looking at the navy for the time being, it's just that the united soldiers dared to climb on the heads of the soldiers of the Admiral's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion, which is already a harbinger of the situation getting out of control, and this matter is very important!" ”

Li Xian chuckled in his heart, he didn't expect the Wu family to be involved.

As King Jiancheng said, this matter is not trivial, the Governor's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion cannot be in charge, and its nature will be even worse than that of Guangzhou City.

Guangzhou City is a local government office colluding with evil forces to corrupt, but Mingzhou City is the military playing a bad role.

This sin is even greater, even if it is a little involved, it will be beheaded.

"Mr. Li, do you have solid evidence at this time?" Li Xian asked with some trepidation.

can't help but make him nervous, the current emperor and the martial arts are having a good fight, and he is already walking on thin ice between his parents.

Meng Buding came up with such a thing again, and he regretted why he recruited Li Zhi today, which made his situation more and more embarrassing.

"It is precisely because of the extraction of evidence that Li Ting hid in Ezhou Mansion, and it is said that there has been great progress. In fact, to tell the truth, almost everyone in Mingzhou knows about this matter, and any one or two fishermen can cite evidence of their crimes. It's a pity that outsiders can't openly go to collect evidence, because local protectionism is extremely serious, and if someone is detected finding out about the news, they will be killed that night! ”

Li Xian also felt cold in his heart, Mingzhou City had obviously reached a state of loss of control, the Admiral's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion were already decorations, if no measures were taken, once something happened, it would definitely be earth-shattering.

In the history of Mingzhou, it was established in the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, that is, in 738 AD, including the Wanghai Navy, which also appeared after Mingzhou.

Why there is a bias with the annals of history is something that Li Zhi can't figure out.

Since his rebirth, many inconsistencies have been found in the annals, such as the opening of the shipping channel in Bohai Bay, the appearance of the Ten Kings and the King of Linhuai County, and the early prosperity of foreign trade in the port of Guangzhou.

When Li Xian's heart was falling into a fierce change of thoughts, King Jiancheng was already slowly speaking:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as the deputy commander of the First Army, I can't ignore the matter of the Hope Navy, originally the Wu family was involved in this matter, and I should first appeal to the Emperor and the Empress before I can act further. At the same time, I hope to arrange preventive measures in advance, and I also ask His Royal Highness to issue a decree for me when he returns to Luoyang! ”

King Jiancheng is the general of the Zhengerpin Hussars, and when there is a war, he will be the first deputy commander of the entire army of the Tang Dynasty.

There is no doubt that the post of commander-in-chief naturally belongs to the current emperor.

As for why it is a second product instead of a first product, it is because there was no such thing as a product in the Tang Dynasty, and only the three princes above Jiuqing had a symbolic meaning.

And Li Zhi's Yipin Zhongyi King is actually only

It is just a title, and it is the highest rank of the royal rank under the throne that is different from the emperor's direct son.

For example, Tang Gaozong's eldest son Li Zhong's Yan Wang, the second son Li Xiao's Yuan Mourning King, Li Xian's Luling King, Li Dan's Xiang Wang, etc., are all higher than the Ten Kings.

Therefore, the second rank in the actual position is already the highest rank among the courtiers.

The reason why King Jiancheng dared to arrange it in advance without being invited was because the Wanghai Navy was the main army of the Tang Dynasty.

Now that the Navy's control is about to be lost, he, the first lieutenant commander, will bear the brunt of the punishment, which is far greater than the sin of acting autonomously in advance to take precautions.

The lesser of the two, of course he will take this risk, and he will not wait for the guilt of dereliction of duty to come.

Not surprisingly, Li Xian didn't dare to easily release his words to promise anything, the difference in this person's ability, and the cowardice that he didn't dare to bear, can be seen at this time.

Seeing this, Li Zhi said:

"Actually, the two of you don't need to be nervous, the saint has already been informed of this matter, but this is just my personal speculation, after all, I only heard the saint ask a question about Mingzhou. In my opinion, the next step in dealing with the martial arts family includes the matter of Mingzhou Wu Sibao. ”

He dared to talk nonsense, just guessing that the two of them did not dare to ask Gaozong about it.

Even if Li Xian asked, he was not worried that Gaozong would be dissatisfied, because it was their common goal to attack the martial arts.

Li Xian was overjoyed for a while, and asked urgently: "Mr. Li thinks, what do I need to do next?" ”

Li Zhi said solemnly: "Your Highness's current situation is obvious, one side is the Holy Lord, and the other side is the Empress Wu, and he is caught in the middle and is in a dilemma. ”

"Who's to say it isn't!"

Li Xian felt that this person was a confidant, and said what was in his heart, but he forgot for a while, this kind of thing has long been known to the world.

"Therefore, in order not to offend the two parties, not only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but also Lord Jiancheng, don't act rashly. I will repair a book here, and report it to the emperor, so that the two of you can avoid the trouble of knowing, but Your Highness must not let the Empress Wu get the news of the admonition, otherwise you and I will be involved in it and resented by the Empress Wu! Li Zhi said.

Li Xian nodded his head violently, and now that the battle between the emperor and the Empress Wu was in full swing, who would have thought where he got the news of the Mingzhou Chengwu family.

And Li Zhi is convinced that in order to protect Li Zhi's identity from being exposed, he will definitely let himself out of the matter just like he will attack Guanghui Temple.

And linked this matter to the ongoing suppression of the martial arts, no matter how powerful the martial arts queen is, if she and the others don't talk about it, she will never think of a connection with them.

She will only attribute all the sins to Gaozong's secret arrangement in the past few years, because so far, the Empress Wu still can't figure out why the secret of the martial family is known by the emperor.

Regarding this conclusive determination, it was the news passed by Princess Taiping yesterday.

King Jiancheng was also very grateful, because Li Zhi's action was equivalent to removing his sins.

The nature of Mingzhou Wu Sibao's affair is similar to that of the martial arts family secretly cultivating cultivator forces, and it is normal for him, the first deputy commander, to be kept in the dark.

Empress Wu will not associate this matter with Li Ting, and let this person hide in Ezhou Mansion from time to time, which is the result of the discussion between Li Zhi, Li Teng, and Guo Yan. (https:)
