Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 427
At the top is the position of Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou, down, the Prince on the left, and the King of Qin on the right.

It's just that today, the seat of the prince on the left is completely vacant without any decorations.

Including Li Tai, Li You, Li Ke and others, the five princes were all squeezed to the right.

Gather around a table and talk in low voices.

Li Fangchen was very curious about Li Ke and Li You's life in the fief, and Li Ke and Li You hoped that Li Fangchen would advise them and renovate the fief.

"Let's talk about Youer first. Your fiefdom is located in the land of Yanzhao, the three prefectures of You, Ji, and Cang. It is near the sea, and you have Goguryeo as your companion. If you have the heart, you can develop fisheries and open trade routes."

Li You seemed to understand, "Second brother, why don't you give me a precise method, or I'm afraid I'll forget it."

Li Fangchen nodded, "In a few days, I'll write it out and give it to you."

Li You nodded in satisfaction, followed by Li Ke.

"Second brother, my land is in Hedong Road, Yunzhou, Daizhou and other places. Do you have a solution?"

"In the inland land, develop farming, build bridges and pave land, open the door to commerce, and taxation will be indispensable in the future!"

Li Ke said again: "I had this idea before, but I didn't dare to do it. After all, second brother, you know that Li You and I have special identities. If we interfere in the affairs of the fief, we will inevitably be sued by those who want to."

After Li Fangchen stretched his waist, he said to Li Ke: "Find a few smart people and build a chamber of commerce. Don't be afraid of doing good or doing bad. There is a prince in Chang'an who will support you. You will lose some money at worst."

"Second brother, do you mean to do this in the name of the chamber of commerce?"

"Don't be close friends with those officials in your fief, maybe they have some origins. You get the money, they get the credit, it's best to live in peace. If not, write a letter to Qingque or the prince, and ask them to help you solve the problem. question."

"Understood, so to speak, it is quite simple."

The fief is too poor, and Li Ke and Li You are shameless.

But if he intervenes in the government affairs of the fiefdom, he is worried about losing his mouth.Besides, who doesn't want to have more money on hand, it's better than to live in poverty and lose the taste of food.

While a few people were talking, ninety-nine percent of the people had already sat down in the hall.

Some people were familiar with Li Fangchen, but some people were completely unfamiliar.

All eyes fell on him, Li Fangchen felt very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty are here!"

Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou were dressed in golden clothes and walked in from outside the hall, carrying airs, as if they were walking in a fashion show.

"My lord, my majesty, my empress!"

Countless people stood up to worship, and when they arrived at Li Fangchen's side, they did the same.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father and my mother!"

Walking to the stage, Li Shimin raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, sit down!"

Seeing these boys gathered together, Changsun Wugou couldn't help but smile.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Fangchen and said with a smile: "Sure enough, your mother must come forward!"

Others didn't understand the meaning of these words, but Li Fangchen turned pale with anger.

Is this a slap in the face?

Who knows how much he has suffered along the way, the pain in the back of his head has not subsided yet!
After sitting down, Li Shimin raised his glass and everyone drank together.

Li Fangchen pretended to toast a glass, but after the toast, he threw the wine on the table, not intending to drink it at all.

Li Shimin watched his pupils shrink, and cursed in his heart: "You bastard, you really don't give me any face!"

But right now, with so many people watching, he couldn't say much.

"Today's palace banquet is full of wine to celebrate my son Cheng Yu's return to Beijing!"

Without taking a bite of the food, everyone toasted again, and Li Shimin swallowed it in one gulp, his face remained unchanged despite the strength of the alcohol in his mouth.

The banquet is full of singing and dancing, and the wine is overwhelming.

Li Shimin didn't speak, no one dared to point to the prince's table and say they didn't follow the rules.

Seeing the four kings and one prince sitting at the same table really broke their previous cognition.

Some people who know Li Fangchen are not surprised by this, but it does not mean that everyone will be like this.

"His Majesty!"

"Li Wei, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing Li Wei standing up, Li Shimin couldn't help asking curiously.

Li Wei said with a smile: "I heard that Prince Qin's highness is both civil and martial arts, but unfortunately we have never met. I wonder if you can let me see it today?"

Li Shimin didn't say a word, but looked at Li Fangchen.

Li Fangchen frowned, this old guy, looking for trouble at the beginning, is really boring!
Li Chengqian and the others set their sights on Li Wei at the same time, which was full of threats.

The eldest grandson Wugou laughed suddenly, and said to Li Fangchen, "Stinky boy, what are your plans?"

Li Fangchen rolled his eyes, "I heard that the father is both civil and military, but it's a pity that he has little experience. I wonder if I can let my son see it today?"

A ball was kicked to Li Shimin's side, but his words were full of dissatisfaction.

Li Shimin laughed loudly, "My ability is also something you can see if you want?"

Li Fangchen turned his head to face Li Wei, "This king's ability is also something you can see if you want?"

Li Wei pondered for a moment, sat down and said nothing, obviously a little annoyed.

This king of Qin is not simple, he even asked His Majesty directly, and what he didn't expect was that His Majesty really gave him an answer.

To put it bluntly, Li Fangchen asked Li Shimin for an answer.

Li Shimin's meaning couldn't be simpler, I am the emperor, you are just a courtier.

It was obvious that he wanted to tell Li Fangchen that he was the king, and the other party was just a little courtier!
Other people in the hall silenced at the same time, Chai Shao and Xue Wanche laughed and toasted each other, very happy.

I thought the matter was over, but I saw that Li Jiyun got up and saluted Li Fangchen: "His Royal Highness is famous all over the world, is it all a false name? Can it be true?"

Li Chengqian's eyes were serious, and he shouted: "Presumptuous!"

Li Shimin's expression was elusive, but Changsun Wugou didn't speak, as if he had acquiesced.

The older generation, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wugou would naturally stand in the way, but the younger generation, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wugou did not plan to show up.

Li Fangchen had just returned to Chang'an, and he still had grievances in his heart, so it was good to take this opportunity for him to vent.

Li Jiyun continued: "Jiyun has learned boxing and kicking for two years, and he wants to learn from His Royal Highness Qin Wang, and I also ask His Royal Highness Qin Wang for advice!"

"Coincidentally, I also have some itchy hands. Why don't you give him to me?" Li You rescued Li Fangchen.

Li Fangchen shook his head, and pulled Li Chengqian and Li You back to their seats, "If you want to play, it's better to play bigger."

Since Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou didn't plan to help him and wanted to see how he would solve it, how could Li Fangchen be willing to bow down?

"Usually fighting is really boring, why don't we gamble?"

Li Jiyun smiled and said: "Jiyun doesn't know what to bet with His Highness."

"Simple, let's bet our lives!"

Li Fangchen finished speaking with a smile, and pretended to be hesitant, "But after all, I'm also the King of Qin, so it's too bad to bet on your life. Why don't you bring your whole family, three generations?"

The guests gasped, King Qin's words were calm, but human life was on the line, it really didn't seem like a joke.

In the distance, Xue Wanche stood up and said, "Your Highness, why don't you let Lao Xue also participate?"

Li Fangchen said with a smile: "Mr. Wu'an wants to gamble, there is nothing he can do!"

Xue Wanche said with a smile: "Longyou Li family, Your Highness has bet for three generations, so the rest is enough to bet with Lao Xue's life?"

Li Fangchen shook his head, "It's probably not enough, why don't we make money instead."

Chai Shao got up, "Then add the minister, if it's not enough, the minister's family will be full, and bet on his Longyou Li family!"

Two more figures stood up.

"The Qin family, Qin Huaiyu, bet on King Qin to win!"

Because Chai Shao had already said it, Chai Zhewei did not speak, but expressed his support with actual actions.

As the two new princess consorts, how could they not participate, it's just that the two of them have a quiet temperament and don't like making noise.

Li Jiyun couldn't get off the tiger, Li Wei wanted to stand up and defend him, but found that Li Shimin was looking at him threateningly, obviously not letting him speak.
