Chapter 540 (2/2)
The implication is that if Liu Zhao does not agree to mediate, we will have a fight in four or five years. It may not be governor Zhang Dudu.
Only because Liu Zhao is a prince, there are some things that the courtiers can do, but he can't.
What he did was taboo.
Last year, for example, he secretly went to Jiangnan to train the Navy.
Once the matter was exposed, Emperor Wende had to give an account to the courtiers.
Because there was no clear order for Liu Zhao to train the navy in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a matter of military power, and his identity is the prince, which is taboo.
Most of the time, the identity of a prince is not as convenient as that of his grandson.
The biggest difference is that the prince can not exercise military power, at least not explicitly.
In the past, Liu Zhao, as the emperor's grandson, could lead the army in battle.
At present, he can only serve as a supervisor. The military power in hand will not exceed 1000.
Liu Zhao shook his head slowly.
Li Shizhong frowned, ”don't you agree? This is a situation in which both sides lose. ”
Liu Zhao chuckled, ”the other party's conditions are not enough. With only three ships of cargo, they want to limit the water force to the offshore area. Do they regard my highness as a beggar? ”
Li Shizhong asked, ”then you open the conditions, I will fight for you.”
Liu Zhao laughed and said, ”twenty cargoes.”
Li Shizhong frowned, ”Your Highness's appetite is too big.”
Liu Zhao sneered, ”Mr. Li can refuse.”
”I don't care. The key is that the governor may not agree with him. If it's ten, I can fight for one or two for your highness. ”
”Fifteen, this is my highness's bottom line. Otherwise, my highness doesn't mind stirring Jiangnan upside down. No matter what the result is, my highness is always the prince, who can turn over after a few years of silence. As for governor Zhang Dudu, he may not be governor. ”
Liu Zhao bluntly threatened, without the slightest politeness.
Li Shizhong is in a dilemma.
Liu Zhao then said, ”I don't want to make it difficult for Mr. Li. On the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou, if Lord Li is willing, my highness can make the decision and give you some shares. ”
Li Shizhong laughed, ”can your highness be the master of the imperial concubine?”
Liu Zhao looked at him with a smile.
Li Shizhong waved his hand again and again, ”good, good. I think I said something wrong. In this case, I will try my best to mediate. Your highness is also requested to write to the water army as soon as possible to restrict their actions. ”
”My highness will never disappoint Mr. Li, provided that he does not let him down.”
”Don't worry, your highness. I always keep my word.”
”That's good.”
Liu Zhao took a cup of tea and took a sip.
Li Shizhong said, ”come here today, I have something else to do.”
Liu Zhao was silent.
”Your Highness should have known that I have brought a woman.”
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows and waited for the following of Li Shizhong.
Li Shizhong continued: ”this person's identity is very sensitive. I have no ability to protect her, so I have to ask for your highness.”
Liu Zhao laughed, ”why should my highness help you to protect a woman of unknown origin?”
”Because this is the evil done by your Liu family.”
Liu Zhao sneered.
”Who did it? Who are you looking for?”
”The perpetrator is dead.”
”If you die, you'll die. That's a lot of nonsense.”
Li Shizhong looked at Liu Zhao strangely, ”is your highness really not curious about this woman's identity?”
Liu Zhao sneered, ”since Lord Li mentioned that the Liu family was guilty, he estimated that this person should be the illegitimate daughter of the royal family. You should go to Shaofu for this. It's no use looking for your highness. ”
But Li Shizhong shook his head, ”I can only find you for this. If you look for the Shaofu, she won't be able to live. ”
”Mr. Li is so kind that he might as well take her and take her back as a concubine.”
”Your Highness has done me harm.” Li Shizhong said bluntly.
Liu Zhao indifferently smiles, ”isn't Mr. Li harming your highness?”
”How can I harm you?”
”You let your highness protect her. How can you ask your highness to explain to my wife?”
Li Shizhong said, ”I didn't expect that the rumor was true.”
Hum!
”It's said that your highness is afraid of Madame Zhao. I always thought it was nonsense. Now I know that there must be a reason for this.”
Liu Zhao snorted again.
He asked in reply: ”if a large family should spend money, his wife should bear it alone. Are you afraid? ”
Li Shizhong was tongue tied and couldn't believe it. ”Your Highness is so poor?”Liu Zhao's temple a pumping, gloomy face, silent.
Li Shizhong succeeded in infuriating Liu Zhao, but he burst into laughter.
”It's worth seeing your Highness's true nature. Your highness, do you remember abbess Jingsi of guanye temple, the most beloved concubine of Zhongzong in his later years? (see Chapter 473 for details) ”
Liu Zhao frowned,” if my highness remembers correctly, she will burn herself to death. ”
”Yes. She died, but her daughter survived. ”
Liu Zhao's heart stormy waves, but on the face of silence, ”she has a daughter?”
”She does have a daughter, eighteen. It's the flesh and blood of the late emperor. You have to call her aunt
”Nonsense
