Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Li Junhui laughed when he heard it.

"You really don't understand anything."

Chen Lang bowed and said, "Uncle, please give me some pointers."

Li Jun replied, "Do you think the princess's marriage is about visiting a brothel? You just send her there and do the business right away?"

Chen Lang was stunned and asked, "Isn't it?"

"Even for ordinary people to get married, they still have to go through the three letters and six engagements. The whole process takes at least half a month."

"The princess's marriage is a national-level marriage, and there are even more rules involved."

"To put it simply, after the princess was sent to the Liao Kingdom, she lived in the Honglu Temple, not the residence of the prince who was to be married off to the Liao Kingdom."

"During this period, the envoys will discuss the specific details of the marriage with the Liao Kingdom. This process may take as little as a month or as long as two or three months."

"During the consultation period, the prince and princess are strictly forbidden to meet privately. If they do meet, it can only be in public, surrounded by dozens or even hundreds of people. How can they get things done under such circumstances?"

Chen Lang muttered quietly, "What if the Liao prince is a quick-witted guy and can get the job done in a moment?"

Li Jun glared back at Chen Lang and continued, "That is to say, after you send the princess to Liao, you will have at least two months to do your work."

Chen Lang chuckled and said, "If that's the case, then I can finally put my mind at ease."

"For the past period of time, I have been worried about this matter. I thought that after sending it over, I would have to sleep, so how could I bring it back intact?"

"But was it also called Honglu Temple in Liao Dynasty?"

Li Jun replied, "The Liao Kingdom learned a lot from us, and the Honglu Temple is certainly one of them."

"Don't be too happy, kid. You have to help Yelu Zongwang ascend the throne. At the very least, you have to make him strong enough to compete with Empress Dowager Xiao. Only then can you bring the princess back."

Chen Lang scratched his head and asked, "Uncle San, Yelu Zongwang has been away from the center of power in the Liao Kingdom for more than 20 years. Does he really still have the ability to seize the throne?"

"And according to Duke Zhu, marrying the princess there is intended to instigate conflict between the Liao princes and their grandchildren, because the princess represents Great Yan..."

Li Junhui interrupted Chen Lang and said, "That old scoundrel knows nothing. Just listen to his nonsense."

Chen Lang grinned but didn't dare say a word.

Li Jun replied, "Do you really think that by marrying a princess you can turn a royal family upside down?"

"Do you think too highly of our Great Yan princess, or do you think too highly of the Liao royal family?"

"That the princess represents Dayan and that marrying the princess will earn Dayan's support is all nonsense."

"For the past twenty years, the Liao Kingdom has never looked upon us with any respect. In their eyes, we, the Great Yan, are just men who appear large but are actually extremely hollow within."

"They don't care about our support at all."

Chen Lang swallowed and said, "Uncle San, can I say this?"

"Don't worry, there are no spies around here."

"Unless you go crazy and tell His Majesty about it, but I don't think you are that stupid." Li Jun replied.

Chen Lang smiled awkwardly and said, "That's the truth."

"Since the Liao Kingdom looks down on us, why did they withdraw their troops when we proposed a marriage alliance?"

Li Jun replied: "First of all, the Liao Kingdom does not want to fight this war at all."

"But as the suzerain of Xixia, when the younger brother gets beaten, I can't just stand by and watch. I have to show some respect."

"Secondly, Zhu Sui'an, that old bastard, although he's a worthless person, is quite capable in battle. He led his army to capture Xiazhou in about a month."

"With this city, we have the confidence to negotiate. If we send a princess to the Liao Kingdom at this time, we can lower our status, and the Liao Kingdom will take advantage of the situation and choose to withdraw its troops."

"But you think you can cause civil unrest in Liao just by using a princess? That's just wishful thinking."

Chen Lang frowned and said, "If you can't do it, why bother sending it?"

"Giving a princess as a gift is better than giving money." Li Junhui said calmly.

"Besides, sending the princess and disrupting the Liao royal family can, to some extent, be considered psychological comfort. Even if it doesn't succeed in the end, I can still comfort myself that it's not the plan that failed, but the people."

Li Jun's reply became bolder and bolder. This was no longer a subtle sarcasm, but a blatant mockery of the emperor.

Could it be that because of the emperor's decree, he lost his legs, so he bears a grudge against the emperor and ridicules him whenever he gets the chance?

Chen Lang pondered, "According to Third Uncle, if we fail, all the blame will fall on me?"

Li Jun replied: "Not too stupid."

Chen Lang was puzzled: "But I have no background at all. If I am pushed out to take the blame, no one will believe it."

"Let's take a step back and say that even if I have Scholar Xiao Yu standing behind me, if I fail, it won't have much impact on Scholar Xiao. At most, he will retire again and leave the court."

"Master Xiao has experienced this process before, so this isn't a blow to him at all."

Li Jun replied: "Who said you don't have any background?"

"You are……"

Chen Lang asked, "What am I?"

"You are a talent that His Majesty values."

Chen Lang was stunned: "Huh?"

Li Jun replied, "Your Majesty has high hopes for you. If you succeed, your advertising and copyright laws will be further promoted. Merchants across the world will also benefit from you."

Chen Lang said, "How can I be worthy of representing the merchants of the world?"

Li Jun replied: "As long as His Majesty thinks you are, then you are."

"Anyway, just remember one thing: bring the princess back safely, and everything will be fine."

"I can't bring them back... Many people, both living and dead, will be implicated because of you."

Chen Lang asked cautiously, "Is Third Uncle included?"

Li Junhui nodded.

Chen Lang said: "The students understand."

Li Jun replied, "You call me Third Uncle, but you call yourself a student. It seems you still don't agree with this title."

Chen Lang said: "Nephew... understand."

Li Jun replied: "Any other questions?"

Chen Lang said: "I want to know why you want me to call you Third Uncle."

Li Jun replied, "Because you look like my deceased nephew, it's that simple."

"Boy, be careful when you go to Liao."

"The most important thing is to save your own life. If you really can't bring the princess back, then run away on your own."

After that, he handed Chen Lang a letter and said, "This is where you will go after you escape."

"There's also a military badge inside the envelope. When you get there, show it to the people there and they'll know what to do."

"I will find a way to send your wife and daughter to reunite with you."

"Of course, it's only your wife and daughter. I can't control anyone else who's related to you."

These words left Chen Lang completely at a loss as to how to respond.

I have only known him for less than half an hour, and he has already arranged everything for me.

It can't be explained by simply saying "he looks like his dead nephew".

It's not just the third uncle in front of him, but also Zhu Sui'an. These two people are in high positions and have power, but they have been taking good care of him since the moment they met.

what is this?
