"My dear Mingyue, you are here. You know that I can't stay in the palace for another day. The palace looks like stones from the left and flowers from the right. It's dazzling to look at it anymore, but Erlang won't let him.
When I go to Liaodong again, my days will really feel like years, even the wine will have no taste."
Li Yuan started to complain as soon as he saw Wu Zhao.
Speaking of running wild, naturally I don’t want to be locked in a cage.
For Li Yuan, this palace was just a cage, and there was no way to compare it with the outside world.
Especially after taking a flying boat and traveling to Liaodong, Li Yuan preferred to go to Mantianxia to see and enjoy himself while he was still alive.
"It seems that the Supreme Emperor should find a playmate, so that the Holy Emperor can rest assured about the safety of the Supreme Emperor!" Wu Zhao said smoothly, especially using the word playmate.
Li Yuan had a smile on his face, but in fact his mind was changing rapidly.
Playmate, there is only one person who can be called a playmate with him, and that is Pei Ji. This is the person he drinks with, gambles with, goes to a brothel with, and fights with.
No! Li Yuan reacted. Pei Ji was afraid that he would do something outrageous again.
Regarding Liu Wenjing's matter, Li Yuan came to his senses afterwards and believed that Liu Wenjing had been wronged. However, as the emperor, it was only a matter of wronging a person. He could still admit his mistake.
But this time, Li Yuan felt that Pei Ji might be in trouble.
After laughing for a while, Li Yuan entered the palace and asked, "What did Pei Ji do to seek death again?"
Tsk! This is indeed a man who has been an emperor, but his head is still extraordinary. Wu Zhao did not shy away from anything: "Ming Yue is a lobbyist. The reason is that Lao Wang, who ran away from home, wanted to marry Jin Manqing from Yaozhou, and then Li Yuanxing
I thought he should go home and retire. Who would have thought later, Cui Junsu, Changsun Fox..."
When he mentioned Changsun Fox, Wu Zhao quickly covered his mouth, wondering why he was so careless.
Li Yuan laughed loudly: "That boy is as cunning as a fox. He is right."
Wu Zhao quickly changed the subject: "There is a gift!"
"I like gifts!"
"Weihe Huazhou Pier!" When Wu Zhao mentioned it, Li Yuan didn't even change his clothes. He immediately asked someone to prepare a car and went to Huazhou immediately.
Li Yuan was very happy to be able to leave the palace.
On the road, when there were no outsiders on Li Yuan's carriage, Li Yuan said: "I am protecting Pei Ji, he has blocked the way of too many people. He has two mistakes, one is that he is too small-minded, and the other is that he is too greedy. However,
I have to save my face and let him know how powerful he is, and then I will speak out again!"
What Li Yuan did was actually giving Li Er an explanation for Liu Wenjing's matter.
It can be regarded as protecting Pei Ji, and even more, it is protecting Pei Ji's family.
Otherwise, when Li Yuan dies, these guys can throw Pei Ji and his family into prison, and even if Pei Ji dies, they will dig them out from the ground. Pei Ji went too far when he framed Liu Wenjing.
You can deal with Pei Ji first. This suggestion is really interesting.
Wu Zhao did not mention these matters that had nothing to do with her anymore. It was a big deal for her to bring Li Yuan out.
About an hour later, the Criminal Department received an official document from the Imperial Security Department, which listed Pei Ji's five major crimes, all of which were capital crimes and the major crime of confiscating his home.
Lawyer Pei Ji, the eldest son of Pei Ji, acting Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was really confused when he saw this official document.
Avoid it, or go up to it.
After thinking about it, Lawyer Pei hurriedly went to find his old man, Pei Ji.
When he saw the document, Pei Ji was also afraid. Because the Imperial Security Department was Qin Qiong's territory, and the three provinces and six ministries there had no control over it. The only people who could speak there were the Qin Prince's Mansion and the Palace.
Pei Ji hurriedly went to the palace to ask for help. Regardless of his high official position, the Pei family's power was not small.
But he is also a smart man, knowing that if someone dares to do something to him, someone will add insult to injury. If Changsun Wuji does something, then the current emperor will not let him live. Thinking about how he forced Liu Wenjing to death seven years ago, he will
I was scared. But the palace said that the Emperor was on a trip, and he didn't even say that he would be back that night.
Pei Ji felt like the sky was falling.
When Eunuch Gao went to Li Er's study to report, Li Er just waved his hand gently to indicate that Eunuch Gao could go out.
After Eunuch Gao left the study, Li Er picked up the teacup and thought to himself, these guys really know how to pick the right time to strike. The Supreme Emperor had just left Chang'an, and when word came back that Wu Zhao's girl had disappeared, they didn't wait at all and took action immediately. Pei Ji
If he misunderstood that the Supreme Emperor did not want to care about him, he would be frightened to death.
Thinking of this, Li Er's heart moved.
Hou Junji could be said to have given up at least half of his family property in order to escape guilt.
No matter what, 70% of Pei Ji's family property must be taken away.
Thinking of this, Li Er called Eunuch Gao in again, wrote a secret order, and asked Eunuch Gao to send it to Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji here is definitely worthy of the title of Changsun Fox. He is not as good as Liu Wenjing in planning the world, but when he does bad things and punishes people, Liu Wenjing can't keep up with him even if he flatters him. So he immediately came up with four or five ways and went to Cui Junsu to discuss it. After all, they
have common interests.
By the way, Li Yuan's motorcade arrived in Huazhou in the afternoon.
"Did you get the treasure from the Japanese island?" Li Yuan originally wanted to say beauty, but thinking that it would be bad to say this in front of Wu Zhao, he changed his mind and said treasure.
"No, it's a ship. It's named Tiande. Although it's not as big as the flying boat, its cabin is thirty times that of the flying boat. The flying boat only has a load capacity of fifteen tons, but this ship has a draft of thousands of tons.
.And equipped with forty-eight cannons and four giant crossbows, this ship can sail tens of thousands of miles!"
"For me?" Li Yuan was a little doubtful that such a giant ship would not be given to him for nothing.
Wu Zhao nodded vigorously with a very innocent look: "That bad guy Li Yuanxing said that if you give a gift to the Supreme Emperor, you can get free labor. But Mingyue actually thinks that this matter must be done by the Supreme Emperor!"
"Trap, there is a trap!" Li Yuan laughed: "Tell me, what kind of coolie did you ask me to do again?"
"Cruise!" Mingyue gave a nice name, and then said in detail: "Use a big ship to leave Hangzhou, then pass through Quanzhou, and then pass through Qiongzhou, where a big port has been built. Feng An's place is rich in products, but our north
But the goods couldn't get through, so this time I used silk and fine steel from the north. I went there to exchange for some precious medicinal materials and came back. More importantly, the pearls from Feng An's place in the first season should be ready by the time the Emperor gets there.
.”
"So fast?" Li Yuanxin asked, how long did it take?
Wu Zhao explained in a low voice: "The pearls we cultured in the lake are 100% pearls, from the inside out. The method I taught Feng Ang this time was to round the shells or make them beautiful.
.In this case, it can be as short as seven months or as long as one year, and it will become a pearl."
"I understand, this is high-end stuff."
Li Yuan didn't say it was a fake, he just said it was a high-end product, with pearls on the outside and shells on the inside. Do you think this thing is fake? Except for people from the Tang Dynasty, or those who deal with pearls, who knows that this is a fake.
And many people will say that only when there is sand can there be pearls.
"One more thing. The Security Department of the Tang Dynasty Empire will send three telegrams."
After much deliberation, Li Yuanxing decided to work as a coolie.
But in the entire Tang Dynasty, who else besides himself could escape this time.
I am afraid that someone with a low status would not be able to suppress Feng An. This is a hugely profitable transaction. Li Yuan is no longer the emperor, but it does not mean that he does not care about the current government. The pearl is said to be half of the national treasury. Those lake pearls in the Zhejiang and Hangzhou areas
It is said that it will take more than three years. The countless colors and fineness are all really good things.
This sea pearl is fast, but to foreigners, this thing is also a huge profit for the Tang Dynasty.
After thinking for a while, Li Yuan said again: "Ask me to go, I'm afraid it's not just these trivial matters!"
"There is a box of things, and the Supreme Emperor will definitely be very happy. However, only the pearls are to be brought back. The rest will be discussed by Li Yuanxing himself. We don't care about the war. We only focus on eating, drinking, and having fun, as well as gold and silver."
This Wu Zhao had such a bad temper that Li Yuan laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, let's just eat, drink and have fun, gold and silver!"
While he was talking, the carriage had already stopped at the pier.
Nowadays, Datang's wharves have been divided into official wharves and civilian wharves. There are also wharves shared by the government and the people. When there are special goods, civilian use is temporarily suspended, or berths are allocated on the wharves.
This wharf in Huazhou is purely for official use, and can even be said to be a military wharf.
There is an outpost five miles away from the shore. This is a river bend, and the river is full of small boats patrolling day and night.
Li Yuan and Wu Zhao came and verified their identities before entering the dock.
As soon as he entered the pier, the smile on Li Yuan's face froze. He had to raise his head high to see the ship's hull. It was probably more than three to five feet high, but because he was so close, he couldn't see clearly.
.
The actual draft, based on Datang's tonnage, is close to 2,000 tons, which is a modern super ship of about 1,500 tons.
A pure wooden ship, the hull is more than thirty feet long and three feet wide. When empty, the water height is about thirty seven feet, and when fully loaded, it is about thirty three feet. It is equipped with four steam engines and a Tang Dynasty self-made
It is a steel coil generator and a radio station is installed on the ship.
At this time, the boat was still the color of wood, and only the draft part was painted with black waterproof paint.
"Paint it in whatever color the Emperor likes. Prepare some supplies, and you can travel in five days at most. We have also prepared ten small boats with a draft of 500 tons to follow. The biggest fear is that the water depth is not enough in some places, so the big ships cannot load cargo.
, if it’s winter, we definitely won’t be able to sail to Hangzhou, this ship has a deep draft!”
Li Yuan nodded silently.
Yang Guang, you didn't build a dragon boat or a giant ship. Not to mention compared to this one, even compared to those escorting boats, your dragon boat is just an inconspicuous boat.
"Tiande, Tiande!" Li Yuan repeated the name and slapped the ship hard: "What a name!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
