Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Zhuge Yu smiled, didn't feel offended, and didn't delve into it. He just turned to the topic and said: "Persia is a country built on gold and silver treasures, so it is very different from my capital. The Persian royal family has no right to speak, and all power is in Persia. Among them, the Sasanian family is the number one wealthy family in Persia, and Warners’ father, the Sassanian family, holds more than half of the mines in Persia, not only has he accumulated unparalleled wealth, but he has also accumulated power over life and death.”

Fang Zilan was amazed, "So powerful?"

Seeing that she didn't believe her, Zhuge Yu added: "It's not an exaggeration to say that you can cover the sky with your hands. A few years ago, the daughter of another wealthy Persian family was ruined because of her insults to Warners. Money is very important to Persia. As far as human beings are concerned, there is supreme status.”

Hearing the words, Fang Zilan wondered: "It is said that people die for money and birds die for food. The Persians pursue money to the extreme. Is life not as important as money in their eyes?"

Zhuge Yu sighed faintly, "I'm afraid it is."

"Do you want money but not life?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly: "But if everyone is dead, what's the use of having money?"

"Sister Lan is right." Although Zhuge Yu said so, there was not much agreement in his tone, "But it is also because Persians value money so much like faith that there are Persian beggars. That said, this has never happened anywhere else."

After hearing Zhuge Yu's words, Awan couldn't help asking: "Since Persia is so rich, why didn't Dajing annex Persia without sending troops?"

"Annexing Persia is tantamount to killing a chicken and taking its eggs." Fang Zilan said thoughtfully, "How many countries in this world don't want to take Persia's wealth for themselves? The mines are just sitting on the mountain. After all, the money of the Persians does not come from mining alone."

A Wan was stunned for a moment, then said clearly: "You mean, the Persian business mind?"

"That's right." The person who made the interface was Zhuge Yu, and he said seriously: "What Dajing wants is not instant wealth, but a steady flow of money. To ask Persia to pay tribute every year, to do business every year, is far more important than Dajing to open up borders. It is much better to expand the soil with a small piece of land."

"Listening to what A Yu said, I really have the foresight and foresight of a high-ranking person." Fang Zilan sighed softly, "I am ashamed of myself."

"Sister Lan, why do you want to belittle yourself? This is what I have been living in Beijing for a long time to seek political power in her position. Sister Lan guarding the northern border is more about her family, country, and the world, so why bother to compare?" Zhuge Yu spoke out to comfort her, with an expression between her eyebrows. Her expression softened a little, "What's more, Sister Lan's judgment of the situation is far beyond the reach of others."

Fang Zilan took the letter with both hands, scanned it ten times at a glance, and then took a breath, "If this is true, Mo Bin is a general under the jurisdiction of King Rong An. Is King Rong An going to turn against him?"

Li Shengxuan sighed softly, and called out helplessly, "Fang Zilan."

She suddenly realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly waved her hands: "Your Majesty, I..."

As soon as she spoke, she hesitated, and what she originally planned to deny was finally suppressed, in other words: "I don't doubt what General Xiahou said in the letter, and I dare not suspect King Rong'an at will. It's just about Mo Bin's rebellion. No one from General Xiahou reported this matter to Beijing, presumably someone secretly suppressed it. King Rong An is the only one who can control officials big and small in the southeast."

Li Shengxuan raised his eyebrows and asked: "If only King Rong An can control the officials in the southeast, what use do I need? What use do I need you?"

"A strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake." Fang Zilan sighed faintly, "King Rong'an is the younger brother of Emperor Tai'an after all, with a special status and respect, not to mention officials big and small in the southeast, even the dignitaries in Beijing, most of them sell his face. .”

Li Shengxuan's expression turned cold, "Fang Zilan, are you looking for an excuse?"

Fang Zilan quickly shook her head and said, "I was just analyzing the situation. Your Majesty taught me the lesson. I was useless and failed to detect Mo Bin's rebellion."

"I said before that I didn't invite you here to raise the teacher and inquire about crimes." Li Shengxuan relaxed his expression, raised his eyebrows and said, "You have only succeeded as the Duke of Yue for only a few days, and I know how the southeast officials treat you. If this matter is true King Rong An suppressed it, and they really dare not report it, let alone report it to you to let you know."

Fang Zilan listened carefully, but there was a touch of doubt in her expression.

Seeing this, Li Shengxuan couldn't help asking: "What's your opinion on this matter?"

Fang Zilan bit her lips unnaturally, and a smile appeared in Li Shengxuan's eyes, "It's all right if you say it, I don't blame you."

"Since Your Majesty said so, then I will say it." Fang Zilan took a deep breath, "Just now I was unrestrained, and I said that King Rong An wanted to contradict such nonsense. After thinking about it carefully, I was a slip of the tongue. After all, King Rong An himself The founding of Dajing is to be crowned king by one side, and if you want to get wind and rain, if you really want it, there is no need to wait until now."

"Xiahou's family stayed in the old land of Baiyue, and you have no foundation to take office." Li Shengxuan reminded, "Do you think it is necessary for him to wait until now?"

"Even though King Rong An thinks I'm weak and easy to bully, he still has no need to rebel." Fang Zilan remained unmoved, and continued: "Your Majesty is guarding the court, the empress dowager and the princes are watching, and the nine princes and noble families If he keeps it, he won't get any benefits. And take a step back and say, even if King Rong'an succeeds in rebelling, as far as I know, he is already old and has only one daughter under his knees—Princess Rong'an. What are you drawing?"

"Picture the glory of the lord of the world?" Li Shengxuan answered casually, as if casually chatting, "This emperor uncle, I have a very good face."

Fang Zilan laughed softly, "If King Rong'an is really driven by vanity and has taken a fancy to His Majesty's position, then he must be sure to hit the target, otherwise he will be scolded through the ages if he fails. Not only does he lose face, he has no heart." gone."

"Why do you think that if King Rong An wants to rebel, he will definitely lose?" Although Li Shengxuan asked like this, his calm appearance seemed more determined, and he never thought that King Rong An could win.

"Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that King Rong'an will win?" Fang Zilan smiled and said cautiously: "Although Xiahou's family stays in the old land of Baiyue, General Xiahou will definitely not stand idly by. Once King Rong'an instructs Mo Bin and others to rebel, General Xiahou will In the old Baiyue land closest to Mushan Pass, they can be suppressed at any time, and it will be difficult for King Rong An to be alone at that time."

"General Xiahou will not stand by and watch, but she will not rashly send troops to suppress Mo Bin." Li Shengxuan looked at her with deeper eyes, "No joke."

These simple four words brought back memories of Fang Zilan——

At the palace banquet that day, Li Shengxuan's original words were: Xiahou's family will stay in the old land of Baiyue and will never be used again.
