Valley Emperor

What's even more strange is that those officials are all standing behind this young man, even if they are standing behind this man, most of them are respectful.

This person is none other than Li Zhen, the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty emperor!

He is eighteen years old this year. He just graduated from the Preparatory Department of the Royal School last summer and entered the History Department of Guozijian University to continue his studies.

During the winter vacation last year, he took advantage of the winter vacation to live and live in the fief Dayu County.

Like him, there is also his younger brother, the second son of the emperor, King Zhao Li Ying. King Zhao also took the time to go to his fief Wandan during the winter vacation.

These two people have already been crowned kings, and they went to the fief to officially become a vassal two years ago during the summer vacation. Although there is an imperial decree to allow them to continue to study in the imperial capital, they are only allowed to stay during their studies. It's just an imperial capital. After graduation, you have to return to the fief.

At the same time, in the winter and summer vacations every year, in order to avoid suspicion, they will also take the initiative to apply for a will to return to the fief to live and live. After all, now that there are steam ships, whether it is inland rivers or sea navigation, it is not affected by the season and the wind direction, which is convenient and fast.

King Qi Li Zhen didn't actually stay in Dayu County for a long time. In fact, he only lived for about five days, and he took the royal steam liner for the return journey again.

After arriving in Shanghai yesterday, he did not continue to go to Jinling City, but planned to stay in Shanghai for a few days and inspected by order.

This kind of inspection is naturally not an inspection of government affairs. Even though he is the eldest son of the emperor, he has not received any public office, and he is already a vassal of Dayu County. Now that the prince of the empire is in power, he is the eldest son of the emperor. Even though he was allowed to stay in the imperial capital temporarily because of his studies, he still had to keep a low profile.

This kind of inspection is just an inspection of the royal family's own property!

And even if it is the royal family's own property, in fact, if there is no decree, he will not go to the royal family property to conduct any inspections, that is too high-profile.

And high-profile princes have had no good end since ancient times.

King Qi has kept a low profile since he was enthroned as a king a few years ago, and as he grows older, this low-keyness has been etched into his bones.

After arriving in Shanghai yesterday, the local officials in Shanghai learned about the situation, and they all came to see him, but King Qi didn't see any of them, saying that he was just passing by, and he didn't need to recruit a lot of people, and he didn't even live in the royal family's palace in Shanghai.

The Royal Assets Division has a large number of palaces in various parts of the country, mainly the residences of many former Ming lords or powerful ministers, but quite a few of these palaces are used for other purposes on weekdays to maintain the necessary The income is repaired, and when necessary, it will be freed up as a palace.

Only a few palaces with relatively large scale and strong political meaning have always maintained the style of palaces, such as the Forbidden City of Youzhou City and the palace of Guilin.

The royal palace in Shanghai is not the mansion of a former Ming dynasty prince, but the mansion of a powerful minister of the former Ming Dynasty. After being confiscated, it was preserved because of its exquisite construction. Subsequently, the Royal Assets Division expanded the mansion. And repairs, and finally built a medium-scale royal garden.

However, this royal garden is similar to other palaces. It has never been occupied by members of the royal family. Most of the time, it is treated as a public garden. Tickets are collected for tourists to enjoy, and they are repaired and protected by income from tickets.

In fact, since the royal family settled in Jinling, they have basically not moved their nests. Basically, most of the royal palaces have only one name, and not many are really used.

Needless to say, Li Xuan, in addition to going out for personal expeditions many times during the Unification War, basically stayed in Jinling City and the surrounding areas without visiting.

The most frequently visited place is the Dangtu Industrial Zone. Later, after the Jingzhen Railway was opened to traffic, I also took the railway to Zhenjiang once.

Li Xuan didn't go out, and the other members of the royal family basically didn't go out either.

Empress Dowager Bai returned to Xingquan's hometown many years ago, and this was her first time out in many years.

The other concubines, although there are relatives, basically do not have much fanfare, and the royal palaces in various places are also small-scale occupancy.

As for Li Xuan's princes, only two adult princes have traveled more frequently in the past two years, but in order to avoid suspicion, they never lived in the royal palace, nor did they live in the imperial dignitaries and officials Basically, they either stay in hotels around the world or stay in their own private residences.

Well, these two princes are also the kind that are not bad for money. They own the property stocks of the Royal Family Assets Division, as well as the salaries of the vassal kings, so they also have money to buy some private property.

King Qi Li Zhen kept a low profile. Every time he passed by Shanghai, he stayed at the Wusongjiang Hotel, not in the Royal Courtyard, nor did he see local officials.

This kind of caution is actually rare at his age.

But in the eyes of others, this is very normal, because the King Qi in the eyes of outsiders is not an eighteen-year-old boy, but the eldest son of Li Xuan, the emperor of the Tang Empire, and the king of the empire.

He is no ordinary man!

So there is no treatment that ordinary people should have.

Looking at the huge fleet on the Huangpu River, Li Yan suddenly turned his head and said, "Do you think this America is good or bad?"

Hearing Li Yan suddenly say this, a group of officials in the Qi Wang mansion behind him still did not react, but the fate of these officials in the palace is largely linked to Li Zhen, the Qi King, and immediately Many people just began to ponder the meaning of King Qi's question.

Immediately, a middle-aged man said, "Go back to the lord, America is naturally good. The lower official once talked about America with the people from the Immigration and Reclamation Division. The colleagues from the Immigration and Reclamation Division said that the Americas are vast and have a pleasant climate!"

"Really!" Li Yan responded casually: "It's a pity for such a good place!"

Li Zhen said it was a pity, but they didn't know why Li Zhen said it was a pity. Some people thought that Li Zhen said it was a pity that these places were occupied by the natives.

Immediately, he said, "Your Highness, don't feel sorry for the fertile land in America, although it was stolen by the indigenous barbarians at this time, it was only for a moment. Go back to my Huaxia embrace!"

Li Yan smiled and didn't answer!

What he said unfortunately was not about the natives, but that this fertile land would belong to his third brother soon.

Next year, his third younger brother, Li Bin, will be sixteen years old. According to the usual practice, he will officially become a king and become a vassal in this year, and he has already received the news in advance. This Li Bin's fief will be thousands of miles away from the empire. Far away Honolulu Island.

But he is more aware that this so-called Honolulu Island is not just a cover, just like his Dayu County and the Wandan Mansion of his second brother King Zhao, it is just a cover.

He has long been hinted by the Queen Mother, saying that he should be calm and not impatient. His future fief is definitely not just a small place like Dayu County, but may be the entire Fusang Islands.

At the same time, this kind of fief is not only a pure virtual seal, but a real seal with some real power.

At that time, he can form a certain number of royal guards under the jurisdiction of the army, and has the power to share part of the tax revenue in the fief.

Of course, the administrative power of the fief still does not belong to these kings.

His future fief will be the entire Fusang Islands, and if there is no accident, then the fief of King Zhao should be the entire Wandan Mansion. At this time, the theoretical jurisdiction of the Wandan Mansion is very large. Except for the Luzon Islands, all other islands are under the jurisdiction of Banten.

Of course, he guessed that it could also be mainland Australia.

No matter where it is, the final fief will definitely not be a small land, but an extremely vast area.

According to this calculation, then Li Bin's real fiefdom will be the vast North America!

If America is as good as everyone says, it is a good place, then this Li Tan is a big bargain!

In the future, relying on the richness of North America, the potential of my third younger brother may be even greater. In the future, I am afraid that he will be a powerful enemy among many brothers!

enemy!

Yes, this is the definition Li Yan has set for his brothers!

Even though he kept a low profile, it was because his father was still alive, but it didn't mean he didn't have any idea about the position under his father's ass.

Instead, he had the opposite, and big ideas!

But he knew better that he couldn't let other people, especially the royal father, know his thoughts!

Because he doesn't want to die yet!

Li Xuan's authority is something that no one dares and has no way to oppose. In the early years, the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan was not allowed to discuss any issues of the prince, that is, no one dared to discuss it. Later, the Holy Son of Heaven said that he wanted to establish a heir, then he would establish a heir. .

At that time, whether it was Li Zhen, the princes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or those ministers, even the Queen Mother Bai and others, there was not even a single word of objection, but all were in agreement, even Li Zhen himself, at the beginning After the Holy Emperor Li Xuan made Li Hao, the fourth son of the first emperor, as the crown prince, he publicly stated that the establishment of the second son was the only choice to stabilize the foundation of the empire.

It doesn't matter what's on your mind, but on the surface, especially what the father sees, you must be honest and low-key.

However, this is only now, and who would dare to say that he has no chance in the future?

Empress Dong has only one prince, and as Empress Dong is getting older, it is basically impossible to get pregnant and give birth to children in the future. That is to say, at present, the legitimate son of the Tang Empire is actually only the fourth son of the emperor, Li Hao, and the others are all of the same color. Concubine.

Who dares to say that Li Hao can have the last laugh all the way?

He may have offended his father in the middle, and finally be deposed as a prince, or he may die in front of his father!

Well, the possibility of Li Hao dying in front of Li Xuan is not small.
