Chapter 540 (1/2)
In a courtyard on the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple, the sound of Qin was heard.
Liu Zhao is a broad robe with big sleeves, sitting on the ground like a noble master, playing the piano with both hands.
Sometimes the music is distant, sometimes sonorous, sometimes like crying, sometimes sword.
People bow down to wait on the side, even the atmosphere is not dare to come out.
Qian Fu walked in from the outside, hesitated for a moment, but did not dare to disturb Liu Zhao's elegance.
The sound of the piano stopped suddenly.
One of the strings broke and bounced high. It almost scratched Liu Zhao's face.
”Does your highness matter?”
Lin Shuping, the internal servant, asked anxiously.
Liu Zhao, with a heavy face, stretched out his hand, and his own Qingjun boy came forward to wipe and maintain his hands.
In the past, these things are beautiful maid in doing.
Know Gu Jiu is a vinegar jar, these close to serve the work, also by the Qing Jun small Si to do.
Those who did not know thought Liu Zhao had the habit of breaking his sleeves.
Liu Zhaochao looked at Qian Fu.
Qian Fu bowed down and said, ”Your Highness, Li Shizhong is here.”
He looked hesitant.
”What else?” Liu Zhao asked
”Li Shizhong brought a woman here.”
Liu Zhao sneered, ”please come in.”
”The woman?”
”Find another place to arrange.”
”Yes, old slave.”
For a moment, Li Shizhong was invited into the wing room and sat on the ground opposite Liu Zhao.
”I just heard the music of your Highness's Qin. It's really the sound of nature. I don't know when I'm lucky to hear your Highness's music again. ”
Liu Zhao gently wiped his hands, and the servant moved down the Guqin and replaced it with tea and snacks.
”Please have tea, Mr. Li.” Liu Zhao's face was cold and did not accept the other party's words.
Li Shizhong picked up the tea cup, gently blew it and took a sip. The temperature of the tea was just right.
The fragrance of tea is long.
However, there is no mood for tea at the moment.
He put down the cup, ”Your Highness is calm indeed.”
Liu Zhao said with a light smile, ”my father's accession to the throne is less than two years. My highness is naturally not in a hurry.”
”But your brothers are in a hurry.” Li Shizhong looked at Liu Zhao with a smile.
Liu Zhao raised eyebrows, ”they are them, I am me. If Mr. Li takes good care of one of my brothers and goes by himself, why bother to take this trip? ”
Li Shizhong laughed.
After he had laughed, he said, ”if someone else said this, I would only treat the other party as arrogant and arrogant. But if you were your highness, you would have the confidence. Last year, you went out of Beijing for half a year in the name of pacification, but in fact you were training the navy in the south.
Even a few of the bodyguards around you have stayed in the south. I have heard that the water army is gradually becoming a large-scale force, and is sparing no effort to eliminate the coastal disasters and crack down on the pirate Li Hailong. ”
Liu Zhao asked coldly, ”Mr. Li has worked hard to see me. Is it hard for him to come to see me for these old news?”? The first year of Wende will soon be over. Why don't you and I talk about Wende's two years? ”
”Is your highness so anxious?”
”Isn't Mr. Li in a hurry?”
Liu Zhao sneered.
Li Shizhong was holding a teacup. ”It seems that your Highness has already guessed the purpose of my official.”
Liu Zhao did not deny that he had ”a little knowledge.”
Li Shizhong said: ”I don't sell the key points either. Someone in the South has entrusted me with the relationship, hoping that the water army's movement can be limited to the coastal areas.”
Liu Zhao laughed. After laughing, he said sarcastically, ”is it that the pirate Li Hailong entrusted the relationship to Lord Li? He has a way. ”
”The person who entrusted the relationship was not the pirate Li Hailong, but the governor of the Jiangnan Dadu Prefecture.”
Liu Zhao eyebrows moved, ”Zhang Dadu asked for help?”
”Yes. Other people's face can not be given, the face of governor Zhang Dadu can not be denied. Otherwise, your Highness's water army will not be able to move along the coast. ”
Liu Zhao sneered, ”are you threatening your highness?”
Li Shizhong shook his head. I'm trying to build contacts for you. ”
Liu Zhao: ha ha!
”So my highness would also like to thank Lord Li.”
Li Shizhong did not talk nonsense. He said bluntly: ”governor Zhang Dadu is the guarantor. The maritime trade under the name of Madame Zhang can guarantee three ships of goods every year. There is no empty word.”
Since Gu Jiu turned over with Zhou Jin, Gu Jiu's sea trade business has not been very smooth.
The emperor is far away from the sky, and all the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are in favor of each other.
What Prince's highness, Prince's wife, in the sea is not as good as pirate Li Hailong's words.
Li Hailong said that if the ships of the four seas trade were not allowed to pass through, Gu Jiu's goods would not be able to get out of the sea.
Li Hailong is so arrogant.
Of course, Li Hailong is just a pseudonym of Zhou Jin, the pirate leader.
Liu Zhao attacked Zhou Jin, and Zhou Jin in turn hit Gu Jiu's business in Jiangnan.Now, it seems to be an opportunity for governor Zhang to mediate.
Liu Zhao laughed and asked, ”if your highness does not agree, will governor Zhang Dudu go up to impeach my highness?”
Li Shizhong said: ”governor Zhang has been in charge of Jiangnan for many years. In my opinion, his majesty will not replace him in four or five years.”
