I'm afraid the Tang Dynasty's capital of Liyang is no more than this.
"Objective, do you want a room or a VIP room?"
"Oh, what kind of room is the VIP room?"
Arriving at the official inn in Fengtian City, Chi Lian looked at the waiter with sparkling eyes and revealed a hint of curiosity.
At the same time, the waiter, under the spell of charm, blurted out the news:
"Objectively, the VIP rooms are prepared for diplomatic envoys from various countries.
However, the number of times it is used in a year does not exceed one month, so during this period, the VIP rooms are open to the public, with ordinary VIP rooms charging one gold per day and top VIP rooms charging ten gold per day."
One gold a day? That is sixteen ounces of silver a day.
The top VIP room costs ten gold coins a day. Even Wei Zhuang couldn't help but look surprised.
"It's so expensive, is there something special about it?"
“Apart from the gorgeous decoration, there is nothing special about it.
But for those distinguished guests, the top VIP rooms represent status and face, so they have been booked for a month later.
There are thirty-six ordinary VIP rooms, and some people checked out yesterday, so there are still quite a few vacancies."
"Three VIP rooms!".
Chapter 287: One Angry Prince Fears
"Mr. Wei Zhuang, please!"
Facing Wei Zhuang's gaze, Cao Shaoqing did not retreat at all.
A clash of top swordsmen?
Sorry, Cao Shaoqing never considered himself a swordsman, he was just a eunuch who knew a little swordsmanship.
Therefore, facing the pressure from Wei Zhuang's sword intent, he did not fight back or feel uncomfortable at all. He turned around and led the way as if nothing had happened.
This made Chi Lian and Bai Feng both feel greatly shocked.
Demonic Sword Immortal Cao Shaoqing?
They could never imagine that a top sword master had no temper, and even no aura at all.
Upon seeing this, Wei Zhuang did not continue to release his sword intent.
He knew that Cao Shaoqing was not just a swordsman, and neither was he.
Following Cao Shaoqing to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, the front garden was heavily guarded. Only palace staff in various work clothes were walking back and forth, and most of them spoke very little.
In such a depressing working environment, if it weren't for the high income, high treatment and high status, it would definitely turn people into psychopaths.
Therefore, every once in a while, a new group of people will come here.
"Eunuch Cao, I heard that the Nong family wants to form an alliance with Prince Yan's Mansion. What is the prince's attitude?"
Among the hundreds of schools of thought, only eight or nine are top forces. I didn't expect that three of them would form an alliance with Prince Yan's Palace at once.
It is also said that the Nong family also wants to form an alliance through marriage in order to bind themselves to the Prince of Yan's Palace.
After all, compared to the Yin-Yang family, the Nong family was the one that truly coveted the Liaodong area, but the Nong family had never made up their mind, and instead let the Yin-Yang family get there first.
“Your Highness agreed to the alliance, but not the marriage.
As for the reason, it is not something that a servant like me can know."
slave?
Hearing Cao Shaoqing's humble words, the corners of Bai Feng and Chi Lian's mouth twitched.
He is a top swordsman, but I didn't expect him to be so humble in Prince Yan's Mansion.
"Don't agree to the marriage?"
Wei Zhuang was dignified, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Li Shouxi is known for his playboy reputation, but Liusha Intelligence is no pushover. Li Shouxi has more than a dozen women, but only a few of them are real women, and they never spend the night outside.
From this we can see that Li Shouxi attached great importance to status.
He abides by etiquette and breaks away from conventions, showing the spirit of someone who can accomplish great things.
This is also what Wei Zhuang values most about Li Shouxi. If Li Shouxi indulges himself and wallows in the pleasures of life at this moment, he is definitely not the hero he is looking for.
For example, the Afang Palace of Qin Shihuang contained the rear gardens of the six kingdoms.
There were tens of thousands of beauties, but there was still no queen, and he was not obsessed with any one of them.
"Your Highness, Mr. Wei Zhuang has arrived."
Entering the hall, Wei Zhuang looked at the unfathomable figure in the depths, and his heart tightened.
With his status, the princes were afraid of him when he was angry.
But Li Shouxi really has the qualifications to look down on him. After all, even in a powerful alliance, no one has defeated the old Qin people.
At this time, Liaodong was undoubtedly an enhanced version of the old Qin people.
The strong physique of the northern men makes them natural warriors; the rich resources of the black soil provide sufficient logistics; the bright faith of the people is united, and man can conquer nature.
In addition, the rear area of Liaodong had been completely pacified by Li Shouxi, so there was no need to worry.
The achievements of six generations of Qin were accomplished by Li Shouxi in just a few years.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Yan!"
"Please sit down!"
Li Shouxi's voice came, and Wei Zhuang did not hesitate.
The arrogance of the various schools of thought did not show much restraint even though they knew the power of Prince Yan's Mansion. Instead, they looked around curiously.
The north is associated with water, so Li Shouxi chose black as the main color of the decoration, which is deep and majestic; and purple as the secondary color, which is noble and gorgeous.
“When one is angry, all the princes are afraid; when one is at peace, the whole world rests!
Mr. Wei Zhuang's visit really flattered me."
Wei Zhuang did not come secretly, but entered Fengtian City openly and stayed in the official residence. This was why Li Shouxi invited him to come the next day.
Even though this was a serious visiting card, Li Shouxi would not be stingy.
This is a strategist!
“Your Highness praised it immediately. The reputation of our predecessors is not what we can rely on.
Wei Zhuang came here today to also form an alliance with the Prince of Yan's Mansion, but not with Zongheng, but with Liusha?"
"quicksand?"
Li Shouxi nodded and shook his head when he heard this.
When Wei Zhuang was puzzled, Li Shouxi said silently:
"Quicksand? Not qualified!
In addition, I do not like to hand over the dark blade to others. After all, it is a double-edged sword. It can hurt the enemy or yourself at the cost of a single thought."
Wei Zhuang was not at all surprised by Li Shouxi's refusal. It would have been strange if Li Shouxi agreed!
"Your Highness, do you mean to completely control the Quicksand?"
Li Shouxi looked at Wei Zhuang and didn't say anything else.
Li Shouxi didn't want to continue this meaningless test, and he also roughly knew Wei Zhuang's purpose.
Therefore, he brought Wei Zhuang to the side hall. The sand table on it showed the current situation of the Tang Dynasty and various hidden forces. Even Wei Zhuang couldn't help but frown after seeing it.
When the princes are angry, they are afraid; when the world is at peace, they can rest!
The signature skill of a strategist is the art of diplomacy. This is a test that Li Shouxi gives to Wei Zhuang. If he cannot see Wei Zhuang's skills.
Naturally, there is no need to talk further.
This made Chi Lian and Bai Feng look at Wei Zhuang with concern.
Unexpectedly, Li Shouxi used his ultimate move right from the start.
"Is this the situation that the Tang Dynasty is facing right now? I didn't expect that Your Highness is still the only one in power?"
Of the Thirteen Continents of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shouxi occupied three of them, and also controlled the Lianghuai area, even extending to 310 Jiangnan.
At this time, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty could only control the central state. The other eight states were openly or covertly disconnected from the imperial court. The largest forces among them were:
Zhu Wen, who was defeated in the previous suppression of bandits and entrenched in Liangzhou, occupied the rebel army of Wagang - Shaoshuai Army, and Qi Wang Li Maozhen, who was close to southern Xinjiang and stationed in Yuzhou
Together with the large and small forces supported by the aristocratic families, the demonic sects, and the Buddhist sects, the Tang Dynasty was almost falling apart.
Even though Bai Feng, Chi Lian and others knew that the Tang Dynasty was in decline, they did not expect it to have reached this point.
However, Li Shouxi, the eldest prince of the Tang Dynasty and the one guarding the northern border, remained calm as usual, with no intention of ending his life.
At this time, they all knew that Li Shouxi was waiting for the complete destruction of the Tang Dynasty, and then he would re-establish a new Tang Dynasty and ascend the throne as emperor.
This ambition
No wonder the Yin-Yang family would look for Li Shouxi. The same might be true for Wei Zhuang, whom they support.
Everyone saw Li Shouxi's plan.
"Your Highness wants Wei Zhuang to die?"
Analyze the situation?
No, Wei Zhuang absolutely did not believe that Li Shouxi had no way to deal with it.
In other words, Li Shouxi had no lack of so-called advisers and strategies.
At this time, his only role to Li Shouxi was to join the game and act as a fuse to trigger the explosion in this balanced situation.
Only in this way can he play the role of making all the princes fear him and making the world at peace.
Chapter 288: Living in Peace in the World
“Life is short, and this king does not have much time to waste.
Moreover, my vision is not limited to Yongzhou. If I continue to waste time, who knows how long this situation will last, and it may even endanger Liaodong, which is currently in a good situation. "
Not only Wei Zhuang, Chi Lian and Bai Feng also looked at Li Shouxi in horror.
Unexpectedly, Li Shouxi's ambition was so great that not only did he not intend to prolong the life of the Tang Dynasty, but he planned to directly detonate the deadlock and accelerate the evolution of the situation.
"Your Highness, do you have the ability to clean up the mess?"
"Haha, isn't this Zongheng's test for me?
This king has always been fair. Since I have given Mr. Wei a test question, I must give him another answer to the test question, at least to live up to Mr. Wei's expectations!"
"Is it?"
The ability to clean up the mess?
Li Shouxi didn't care about this at all. If it weren't for the fact that his name was not right, the power of Prince Yan's Mansion would be enough to sweep across the world.
Although Wei Zhuang knew about the configuration of Prince Yan's Mansion, he had no idea how advanced these configurations were.
Such as 500,000 soldiers.
In recent years, when the cold winter came and most people had to eat coarse food, these Liaodong soldiers not only had sufficient food to ensure training, but also had at least nine taels of salted fish every day to supply protein and salt.
Meat, protein, and rigorous training
Three years is enough time to train a strong army comparable to Wei Wuzu.
As long as there is no fire attack or flooding, if they meet on the frontal battlefield, they can definitely be outnumbered three at a time; if they are facing the so-called garrison troops or elite rebel forces, it is possible for them to be outnumbered ten at a time.
You have to know that during these three years, most areas were starving. How could they have the strength to fight against the soldiers in the elite training mode?
This is also where Wei Zhuang is blind.
Seeing is worth hearing a hundred times!
Although this information is simple, it is not military knowledge and the differences between them cannot be seen at all.
