Chapter 548 Volume 5 Showing weakness? That traitor is declaring war!

Fang Xuanling didn't care about what kind of gift Wang Dequan said.

I really don't care.

What really concerned him was Wang Dequan's ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain.

Because not long ago, let alone Li Er, he felt that Wang Dequan deserved to die, but in a short period of time, this feeling disappeared inexplicably.

This made him feel a sense of crisis.

If an envoy who has lived in Chang'an for a long time and is far away from the temple is so capable, what about the other officials of the Ming Dynasty?

If in the future, Li Chengqian returns to the Tang Dynasty with such a group of people, they are not irreplaceable!

As emperor and courtier, Li Yuan was like this, Li Er was like this, and the future Li Chengqian will definitely be like this.

And the best outcome for them might be to be like the samurai Yuna and others, right?

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling sighed softly.

The future has some twists and turns.

As for Wang Dequan, he was really relieved now. As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die. If you can avoid death, who wouldn't want to live?

Before, he just took a gamble in order to maximize the benefits for Daming or the Wang family.

"It is indeed a great gift." Wang Dequan said with a smile, "Although the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are two different countries, in the end they share the same origin. In order to strengthen the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, my Highness has decided to fund the construction of a large road.

Mingliyue Mountain leads directly to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

All necessary expenses will be borne by me, Da Ming.

Moreover, this road will use our Ming Dynasty’s most advanced technology!”

Chi Dao?

Li Er was stunned.

Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Riyue Mountain.

Moreover, almost 90% of this Chi Road is within the territory of the Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it was Li Chengqian who funded the construction of the road for the Tang Dynasty. If it were a great gift, it would make sense, but it was just like that.

"Your country has a very deep plan." Fang Xuanling heard this and said disdainfully, "It is said that the Chi Road was built for the Tang Dynasty, but is it just to facilitate Changming's logistics?"

"The servant said this wrongly." Wang Dequan said, "After the Chidao is repaired, anyone can leave. How can you say it is just to facilitate Changming Logistics?

Besides, although Changming Logistics was founded by His Royal Highness, it is actually owned by the Empress and Princess of the Tang Dynasty. What does it have to do with me, the Ming Dynasty?

My Royal Highness, Prince Ming, has not left any share for himself."

As he said this, Wang Dequan seemed to have just remembered. He took out a contract from his sleeve and said, "This is the contract document sent by His Highness. I wanted to deliver it to the Empress of the Tang Dynasty personally, but the foreign minister has a low status."

, this will be handed over to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I would like to ask His Majesty to help deliver it to the Queen."

After speaking, Wang Dequan bowed and raised the contract document above his head.

Li Er naturally knew this, and it was mentioned in Changsun Wuji's memorial. He nodded immediately, and a chamberlain immediately took the document away.

"You..." Fang Xuanling was so angry.

Although Changming Logistics is nominally owned by the Empress of Tang Dynasty and Princess Changle.

But isn’t the actual controller still Li Chengqian?

Not to mention that Princess Changle is not in the Tang Dynasty, even if she is the queen, will she really be in charge of Changming Logistics?

However, Li Er looked at the contract document with great interest. Not to mention, it was very detailed and serious.

"Is this your generous gift from Ming Dynasty?" After reading it, Li Er said with a smile.

He naturally knew that this so-called Chi Road was indeed a sincere gift, and it was also Li Chengqian's attitude. But as an emperor, how could he lose his composure for such a generous gift? Especially in front of foreign envoys

.

"With the current strength of our Ming Dynasty, this is indeed a generous gift." Wang Dequan said with a smile, "After all, there is no such a large Chidao project in our country, but it makes you laugh."

"Okay." Hearing this, Li Er waved his hand and said, "I accept Daming's generous gift. Later, the Ministry of Industry will negotiate with Daming. Please step aside."

When Wang Dequan heard this, he immediately bowed and left.

He immediately left the Liangyi Palace. It wasn't until he left the palace and got on his carriage that he breathed a sigh of relief. His legs were trembling involuntarily.

So damn exciting!

Although I feel a little scared when I think about it now, it’s really fun to say it or not!

In Liangyi Hall, Li Er and others did not disperse.

After looking at everyone, Li Er asked: "Today the Ming Dynasty envoy entered the palace, what do you think?"

Everyone was frowning and thinking. To be honest, they didn't understand the purpose of Wang Dequan's visit to the palace.

"Your Majesty, is the purpose of the Ming Dynasty just to help me in the Tang Dynasty to build a straight path?" Wen Yanbo said with some confusion, "But if that's the case, there's no need to do this."

"Help me build a Chi Road in the Tang Dynasty?" Li Er sneered, "You really don't see what this Chi Road can do?"

"Huh?" Wen Yanbo was a little confused.

On the side, Li Jing heard what Li Er said and asked doubtfully: "Does your Majesty think that this galloping road can be used to transport troops?"

"What do you think?" Li Er said with a smile, "This is where that kid is clever. It is reported that the Ming Dynasty is building a large number of Chidao this year, and a thing called cement is used, which is extremely strong and used to build cities.

Wall is not a second choice.

But this kid didn't do that, and instead used it to build Chidao.

It can carry out trade in peacetime and transport troops in wartime, but I also want to see how he can cultivate this Chi Dao."

"Then His Highness built the Chidao for our Datang. Isn't it a sign of weakness?" Wen Yanbo heard this and said, "After all, 90% of the Chidao from Chang'an to Riyue Mountain is within the territory of our Datang. If there is any trouble in the future, it will be unspeakable.

If something happens, we, the Tang Dynasty, can quickly gather a large army and march to the border!"

"Is that what you think?" Li Er said disdainfully. As he spoke, he looked at the others and asked, "Do you think you all think so?"

Oh, do you still think he is the same brilliant person he was back then?

He is here to demonstrate to me today!

Since he dared to build such a chidao within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, do you really think he did it for us, the Tang Dynasty, to quickly march to the foot of the Riyue Mountain?

Why can't you think about it the other way around, he is confident that he can attack Chang'an as quickly as possible!"

Li Er became more and more excited as he talked.

He is not afraid of war, whether it is with his father, brothers or his son, he is not afraid of anyone!

He is afraid that life will have no passion, no rivals, and no challenges! As long as there is one, crush it! Even if that person is his son.

When the ministers heard this, they didn't dare to say anything. Some of them guessed it, but they didn't dare to say it.

I didn't expect this level, so I was stunned now.

For a moment, there was silence in the main hall.

After a while, everyone dared to carefully look at Li Er's reaction, and they were relieved when they saw that he didn't get angry.

"Your Majesty, is this Chi Road still under construction?" At this moment, Fang Xuanling asked.

"Xiu! Why not Xiu?" Li Er said with a smile, "Since he is confident, why should I be afraid of him? If he is really capable of attacking Chang'an, I will wait for him!"

It is absolutely true that every emperor has delusions of being persecuted.

Li Chengqian was just building a road, and Li Er could think of the upcoming war. To say that he was being persecuted and paranoid would be an understatement.

But when he is in his position, it is inevitable to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Moreover, Li Chengqian has put too much pressure on him in the past two years, and now that Li Chengqian has strong troops and horses, he dare not not think about this, especially since he himself is in such a high position.

What I shouldn't say is that Li Chengqian's team can really cover the entire Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention everyone, at least most of them can directly replace the existing court officials, including him, the emperor.

There is no way. I dare not say that the court structure of the Ming Dynasty is exactly the same as that of the Tang Dynasty. I can only say that there is no difference at all, and the configuration of all officials is highly overlapping.

In other words, now that the Tang court, including him, the emperor, suddenly died, Li Chengqian could directly take over the Tang Dynasty with his team.

The key is, he really just inherited his father's legacy...

However, when Fang Xuanling heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He also felt the pressure. If Li Er had this attitude, it would be much easier for him to do it next.

"Your Majesty, shall we also develop an industry similar to Changming Logistics?" Fang Xuanling asked.

He was competing against Ming Dynasty, and it was done openly.

Li Er nodded and said: "It is true that we can imitate the Ming Dynasty and build a similar industry. Although this logistics seems to be low-profit, the meaning behind it cannot be underestimated."

Regarding logistics, Li Er never underestimated it after hearing about it for the first time.
