"Wang Meng (Li Bi) meets the Crown Prince Song, Prince Tianze, and Miss Song!"
Seeing this, everyone quickly returned the greeting.
Li Bei was nothing special, he was just a chief official in the Prince of Yan's palace.
But Wang Meng is the real powerful official in the Prince of Yan's Mansion and Li Shouxi's right-hand man.
The most important thing is that, according to the rumors, this Governor Wang is very young, but he is already a top-level expert in the Great Celestial Realm, and is also one of the earliest three people in the Prince of Yan's Palace.
"Give me a seat!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Shaoqing immediately asked someone to bring up the prepared rosewood chair.
Moreover, the four sofas were brought from the back garden, with soft velvet cushions, which made Song Yuzhi full of curiosity. She didn't expect that there were so many good things in Prince Yan's Mansion.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat!"
Song Shidao naturally didn't care about the difference in seat styles.
The Chinese-style sofa looked biased towards girls at first glance, so he naturally had no interest in it. On the contrary, the four girls felt extremely comfortable and moved their butts curiously, looking very fond of it.
“This king already knows the purpose of your visit.
At the same time, I am also willing to continue to trade with Nanyue and Lingnan for common development.
After all, there is no grudge between the two places. Whether it is mutual benefit or mutual support, it is a win-win situation."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Tianze's eyes showed joy. The promise he made in front of Song Shidao was much more powerful than the promise they made in private.
As Li Shouxi said, Liaodong and Nanyue were far apart and had no grudges against each other. Even for the last assassination, Li Shouxi knew the cause and effect of it, so he did not blame Nanyue.
In addition, from everything he saw in Liaodong, it was clear that Li Shouxi was an extremely rational person!
Trade and cooperation between the two sides is a win-win situation.
Does he know what Li Shouxi wants?
On the contrary, they need medicinal materials, tea and mahogany from southern Xinjiang, and steel, glass and silk from Liaodong.
".It's a great alliance indeed!"
Song Shidao also nodded. Although Lingnan had everything, when he saw the caravan from the Prince of Yan's Mansion this time, he knew that the Prince of Yan's Mansion could directly attack their hinterland of Lingnan, which was the biggest threat.
The most important thing is that Lingnan originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty.
If Li Shouxi unified the Thirteen Prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, they in Lingnan would have no choice but to submit.
After all, Li Shouxi is the orthodox of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, most of the royal family and clan members were here.
"The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable.
The reason for my previous forbearance was that the king was ill and could not go on a campaign;
After all, I am not only in charge of three places, but I also have a group of old, weak, women and children behind me. I cannot just think about myself.
Now that my body has recovered, I am gathering my forces and preparing to march south. If the Song clan in Lingnan is willing to join me in a pincer attack, then once I restore the Tang Dynasty, I will still honor the Song clan as the King of Zhennan!"
Song Shidao's face suddenly darkened when he heard this.
Song Que had given three options before:
First, Li Shouxi is still in good health, so they did not make any statement.
Second, Li Shouxi's health has recovered, but the conditions do not meet their requirements, and they also did not make any statement.
Third, Li Shouxi's health has recovered, and the conditions meet the interests of the Song family, so he can express his willingness to cooperate in the alliance.
At this time, Li Shouxi's conditions were no different from empty promises.
There is no substantial benefit at all.
Or maybe, with Tianze here, Li Shouxi couldn't state the specific conditions at all, so Song Shidao just remained silent.
Anyway, they are here for a blind date this time, and it won’t be the final moment to make a decision until the very end.
What's more, he believed that Li Shouxi was a smart man.
Therefore, the final discussion seemed to end unpleasantly!
Chapter 344: Nine Sons Guard the Nine Provinces?
"My dear nobles, this is the residence that the prince has arranged for you.
All of you nobles are skilled in martial arts. You should know that a ninth-rank martial arts expert can hear and see anything within a hundred feet. There are many ninth-rank masters in the palace, especially in the palace where the female relatives live. So if you are strolling around, please don't go too close to the road to avoid accidental injury!"
When the girls heard this, they all understood the meaning of Mei Jian's warning.
They knew how terrifying Prince Yan's Mansion was. Even the maid in front of them, Mei Jian, was a top master of the ninth level of martial arts.
Shortcut?
This is a warning to them not to climb over the wall at will.
Therefore, the girls nodded to show their understanding and then looked around the room in front of them.
In fact, there are two villas in total, one for each family.
Although there were three beauties from South Vietnam this time, Yan Lingji was still the main one. Even though the other two women were stunningly beautiful, they could only serve as foils.
“What an elegant room!”
It does not have the classical luxury of a traditional room. It is based on pure white and holiness. The casual and exquisite coffee table, the simple and fashionable antique shelf, and the magnificent vase all look like the legendary heavenly palace.
The most important thing is, when the curtains in front were opened, a huge floor-to-ceiling window suddenly appeared in front of the women.
A floor-to-ceiling window made entirely of colored glaze offers a clear view of the flower bed below.
Hanging basket, yoga mat and small sun room on the balcony
It looks so beautiful.
"If the ladies have any other needs, or want to eat something for lunch, please let the maids pass on the message."
"Thank you, Miss Mei Jian. This is very good."
"As long as the ladies are satisfied."
As Mei Jian left, Song Yuzhi looked at everything around her with surprise in her beautiful eyes.
The celadon-fired floor, the colored glaze coffee table, the oil chandeliers arranged in an orderly manner like wind chimes, and the huge bathing pool connected to the hot spring all looked so beautiful, like the fairy tale world in her dreams.
Especially walking barefoot on the celadon tiles, lying on the velvet
Not only Song Yuzhi, but also Yan Lingji and the other two beside him were looking at everything around them in disbelief.
I didn't expect the treatment in Prince Yan's Mansion to be so good.
"Xi'er, what are you going to do with these women?"
Since the Emperor of Tang had died, it was impossible to have a legitimate marriage.
Even though there is no such thing as a three-year mourning period in the royal family, that is, after the old emperor dies, the emperor and his sons are not allowed to marry within three years, but the proper etiquette still needs to be followed.
Therefore, as a filial son, Li Shouxi would not publicize his marriage in the short term.
What’s more, there are so many women!
“Let’s talk about it after we’re settled down, mother, don’t worry.
After all, except Song Yuzhi who is related to the Song family, everyone else is dispensable, and their incorporation into the back garden is just for show.
The other is Yan Lingji, who has the potential to break through to the ninth level of martial arts."
Ninth grade martial arts?
At this time, Yan Lingji has remained at the quasi-ninth level for more than a year. It is not because Yan Lingji lacks foundation, but that there is a complete qualitative change between the eighth level of martial arts and the ninth level of enlightenment.
The ninth level of martial arts is the process of achieving spiritual power and forming the power of the primordial spirit, which is similar to the artistic conception of martial arts.
The seventh level leads to the mysterious realm, the ninth level leads to enlightenment.
There are very few ways to help them take shortcuts in this process, which is why exotic spermaceti oil is extremely precious.
As for the relics?
Not to mention that there are only a handful of high-level relics left by Buddhist monks, the disadvantages alone are not something most people are willing to bear.
A top warrior who can cultivate to the quasi-ninth level is naturally confident that he can break through the ninth level in his lifetime. How could he be willing to use a relic that could turn him into a puppet of Buddhism to advance?
What's more, Buddhist relics are so precious that even top warriors can hardly come across them.
"Oh? There is such a proud girl in Nanyue?"
You should know that the age of the person who marries a foreign marriage will not exceed 20 years old.
A quasi-ninth rank at the age of twenty?
One can imagine his talent, which is definitely not lower than top geniuses like Dugu Ningke and Tian Yan.
“Well, when the marriage alliance between South and Vietnam took place, this woman was the real one.
This is also the sincerity of the Nanyue Kingdom, otherwise I would not provide them with steel, especially some weapons such as armor."
"Steel? Armor?
Xi'er, will this raise a tiger and cause trouble?"
Even though Concubine Shang was not involved in court affairs, she knew the importance of these things. They were no less important than their business of war horses and were absolute strategic resources.
Therefore, even though the merchant family is not big, it can still be promoted to the top ten prestigious families.
It is easy to imagine how important steel and armor are.
"Don't worry, mother. How could I not have expected this?
But we are so far away from each other, and there is also a Nanzhao next to Nanyue, so they have no right to affect our Tang Dynasty.
What's more, this king wants to cause chaos in Southern Xinjiang.
This way, we can ensure peace for the next few decades, and even make it easier for me to unify southern Xinjiang in the future!"
Hearing Li Shouxi's plan, even Concubine Shang couldn't help but look worried.
Li Shouxi's ambition is too big.
It would be fine if they just unified Yongzhou, but I didn't expect that they would not let go of even Southern Xinjiang.
"Don't worry, mother.
I will not act rashly until the Ninth Son grows up.
At least I am aware of my own abilities. I may have the energy to guard the Tang Dynasty, but if I want to unify the Nine Provinces, I at least need the help of my nine sons, or nine top kings who can suppress the Nine Provinces to assist me!
Just like Dayu's nine tripods, the nine sons suppress the nine states!
Therefore, I need them to grow up completely before launching the final plan."
Hearing Li Shouxi's domineering declaration, Concubine Shang thought that the eldest princess and the nine princes all had innate Taoist bodies, unparalleled in the world, could it be true?
If so, when Li Shouxi conquered the other nine states, he was also laying the foundation for these nine sons, so that there would be no fight for the throne among the nine sons in the future!
As for the eldest princess?
Even though Concubine Shang loved her, she was still a woman after all.
The daughter who is married off is the water that is thrown out.
What's more, she is a granddaughter.
To love someone is one thing, to inherit a family business is another.
With a son, it would be the daughter's turn to inherit the family business. Moreover, in the future, Li Shouxi's bloodline would definitely continue, and there would be more legitimate grandchildren.
And behind the legitimate grandson there are legitimate great-grandsons.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to Zhu Yunwen instead of to other legitimate sons, which shows the importance of inheritance.
Therefore, the eldest princess may become prominent in the future, but she cannot inherit the family business.
"It's good that you understand, but unifying the Thirteen Continents of the Tang Dynasty is not an absolute thing. Don't underestimate the enemy, or you will fail at the last moment."
"Don't worry, mother. I only look down on the enemy mentally, but my attitude is still very serious.
