Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Prison prison.

Fang Yuan saw Li Jing.

Li Jing was obviously a little surprised when he saw Fang Yuan.

Although he came in just last night, he felt that the emperor would not let anyone visit him in prison.

But he didn't expect that someone would come to visit him in prison, and it was Fang Yuan who was not in Chang'an City.

"General Li Jing, I really didn't expect that we would meet in this way."

Fang Yuan said softly.

The jailer on the side was very understanding and brought a stool to Fang Yuan.

After bringing a stool to Fang Yuan, the jailer left without leaving any disturbance.

"It made King Zhou laugh."

Li Jing stood up and saluted Fang Yuan.

After seeing Fang Yuan sit down, he followed suit, but he sat on the ground.

"I came from the palace and met with the emperor before coming."

"Li Derjian asked me to save you, but I can't seem to do anything."

Fang Yuan said frankly.

This was Li Derjian's request, and it was also Fang Yuan's return of favor.

Li Jing had helped him become the king before, and he owed Li Jing a huge favor.

This time he didn't succeed, but he still made a gesture, which could be regarded as telling Li Jing that he was a person who kept his promise.

"Thank you, King Zhou."

"My useless son can't do anything, so don't take it to heart."

"I'm fine. The emperor won't do anything to me. I'll be out in a few days."

Li Jing bowed his hand and expressed his gratitude.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

"If I have nothing to do, I will leave first."

Fang Yuan got what he wanted to know and was ready to leave.

"Wait a minute, I also have something to ask King Zhou for help."

Li Jing stopped Fang Yuan who was about to get up.

"General Li Jing, please speak!"

Fang Yuan signaled.

"Come closer."

Li Jing waved to Fang Yuan.

Move yourself forward and sit on the far side.

Fang Yuan looked at Li Jing, frowned slightly, but moved forward.

"I have convinced most of the generals to fight foreign wars."

"But what happened today is obviously a warning that the emperor is unwilling to start a war with me."

"But I still want to start a war, and I want you to create this opportunity for me. As long as you help me, my kindness in helping you become the king will be repaid."

Li Jing lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.

"General Li Jing, you are making things difficult for me. How can I help you with this matter?"

Fang Yuan frowned deeper and said.

He didn't expect that Li Jing would be so persistent in becoming the king.

"You can, you can help me create the illusion that the Western Turks are invading my border."

Li Jing said solemnly.

Datang has no reason to go to war with other countries now, so it will create conflicts.

It is easy to want war, it depends on whether you really want war.

"General Li Jing, isn't this bad?"

"Besides, even if a war breaks out, you won't necessarily be the one on the battlefield."

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

This method is not impossible, but Fang Yuan doesn't like it very much.

It's not that he has sympathy for the Western Turks, but that Li Jingmo is stunned.

As the military god of the Tang Dynasty, it was somewhat inappropriate to create a war for one's own selfish desires.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou thinks I'm crazy?"

"But has His Royal Highness King Zhou ever thought that I am already older, and every time I miss a period of time, my chance of victory becomes smaller and smaller."

Li Jing said solemnly.

While I'm still agile, let's have a good fight.

Later, when I wanted to go on an expedition, I was too old to do so.

Moreover, the matter of being crowned king must be done as early as possible, otherwise, how many years can we enjoy the benefits of being crowned king?

Seeing that Fang Yuan is now sealed to Lingnan, he will definitely not be able to sort out Lingnan within three to five years.

If he is also sealed to another place, it will take another three to five years to sort out the fiefdom, and he doesn't know if he will still have that life.

"I have this idea."

"General Li Jing, can you please slow down?"

"Forcing yourself to become a king will only hurt others and yourself, so be careful."

Fang Yuan nodded, said in a deep voice.

Li Shimin was unwilling to be crowned king, and forcing him would only intensify the conflict between the monarch and his ministers.

"Slow down? How to slow down?"

"A battlefield can last as short as half a year or as long as three to five years."

"I don't have that much time. Your Highness, King Zhou, do you understand my pain?"

Li Jing clenched his fists and said angrily.

"But if you are in such a hurry, it may not be a good thing."

"If you don't do it right, it will only ruin your reputation and even defeat you in the battle."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

Still unwilling to help Li Jing.

If you are too hasty and utilitarian, something will happen.

"I have never been defeated in my appearance. My reputation as the God of War is not in vain."

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, let me ask you one last time, are you willing to help me?"

Li Jing looked deeply at Fang Yuan and said in a deep voice.

Fang Yuan also looked at Li Jing and saw the extremely longing for the title of king in Li Jing's eyes.

It was because he was in a daze and was too eager to be crowned king. He no longer looked like the former General Li Jing.

"Sorry, I don't want to."

Fang Yuan finally shook his head, unwilling to help Li Jing at this point.

"Then you go."

Li Jing snorted coldly and returned to his original place.

Fang Yuan sat still and looked at Li Jing for a long time before he stood up and left.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Criminal Department, Fang Yuan saw Liu Yichen at the door, seemingly waiting for him.

"What did General Li Jing say to you?"

Liu Yichen stared at Fang Yuan and said.

"Nothing, just chat."

Fang Yuan did not intend to inform the other party.

"It's nothing, why are you sitting so close?"

"You know it's hard for me to report you guys sitting like this!"

Liu Yichen said in a deep voice.

There were instructions from above not to monitor the conversation between Fang Yuan and Li Jing.

But Fang Yuan and Li Jing were sitting so close, and their voices were so low, how should she write well when she wrote the letter?

"Just write it down truthfully."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

"you!"

Liu Yichen stamped his feet in anger.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was already on the carriage, she got in as well.

"Miss Liu, aren't you doing this well?"

Fang Yuan was a little speechless.

"I don't mind a girl's family, what do you mind?"

"There is no one else now. Tell me honestly, what did you talk about just now?"

Liu Yichen stared at Fang Yuan and asked forcefully.

"It's nothing, it's just a small thing."

"Go down, I don't have time to talk to you now."

Fang Yuan will definitely not tell the other party.

After all, Li Jing's demands were too excessive, and it would be of no benefit to anyone if they found out.

And Fang Yuan felt that since Li Jing was looking for him, if he didn't agree, he would create conditions on his own when he came out.

If this is the case, then we can't tell Liu Yichen.

"You bastard!"

Liu Yichen cursed Fang Yuan bitterly and got out of the carriage.

Watching Fang Yuan's carriage go away, Liu Yichen shook his sleeves and returned to the Criminal Department.Fang Mansion.

When Fang Yuan returned, Li Tai came unexpectedly.

But he didn't come to see Fang Yuan, he came to see Princess Changle.

Princess Changle stayed at Fang Yuan's place last night, which almost caused an uproar in the palace.

Just because Princess Changle didn't make it clear to the palace stewards and just registered when she left the palace.

So Li Tai came to call Princess Changle back on the order of Queen Changsun.

Fang Yuan was probably surprised to see Li Tai again.

Li Tai has lost weight. He has lost so much weight that he almost doesn't dare to recognize it.

In the past, he should have weighed 250 kilograms, but now he only weighs [-] kilograms at most.

It has only been so long and I have lost so much weight. I really can’t believe it.

"King Zhou, come and help me persuade Changle to come back to the palace with me now."

When Li Tai saw Fang Yuan, his eyes narrowed slightly and then became natural.

He did not salute Fang Yuan, nor did he act unruly or anything.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, you are making things difficult for me. If the princess doesn't go back, there's nothing I can do."

Fang Yuan saluted slightly and chuckled.

Although they are both kings, it is obvious that the King of Wei is more noble.

After all, he is the emperor's biological son, and he is still a direct descendant, not comparable to a king with a different surname.

But if anyone is more powerful, it must be Fang Yuan.

After all, Fang Yuan controls banks, research institutes, various factories, etc.

Although they were all made by Fang Yuan himself, they were all indispensable items for the imperial court.

"Now my mother wants to see her, but she refuses to go back. It's hard for me to go back and explain."

Li Tai pursed his lips, looked at Du Miaoyan and said.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, please sit down first and I will advise Chang Le."

Du Miaoyan pulled Princess Changle aside.

Fang Yuan and Li Tai were the only two people left in the living room.

"Why did His Highness King Wei suddenly lose so much weight?"

After all, it was the master's house, and there were only two of them, so Fang Yuan had to entertain Li Tai.

"I was too fat before and wanted to lose weight."

"I didn't expect it to be so powerful. I would lose weight as soon as I lose weight."

Li Tai laughed.

At this time, Fang Yuan noticed that Li Tai's face was a little yellow, as if he was hungry.

Although he seemed to be in good spirits, even a little excited, overall he was fine.

"That's true, but please also pay attention to your health."

"Excessive weight loss is not a good thing for the human body."

Fang Yuan comforted.

"It's okay, thank you for your concern."

Li Tai frowned, looking unhappy.

But it soon returned to normal, thanks to Fang Yuan's concern.

When Fang Yuan saw this, he knew that Li Tai didn't like people talking about his weight loss, so he didn't continue talking about it.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a long time, and after about a stick of incense, Du Miaoyan took Princess Changle back, and Princess Changle had agreed to go back with Li Tai.

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan sent the two of them out to the door and watched them leave.

At this moment, Du Miaoyan let out a long sigh.

"what happened?"

Fang Yuan looked at him curiously.

"Husband, do you know why Li Tai suddenly became so thin?"

Du Miaoyan said.

"why?"

Fang Yuan asked curiously.

He was very curious just now, and felt that Li Tai didn't answer directly.

When Du Miaoyan talked about it now, Fang Yuan's curiosity was immediately aroused.

"Because the emperor made a promise to Li Tai before canonizing Li Zhi as the prince: As long as Li Tai can lose weight, the prince's position will be his in the future."

Du Miaoyan said with a sigh.

Just because of a promise, Li Tai lost dozens of pounds in the past few months.

"The emperor promised?"

"How did you know?"

Fang Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

No wonder, when Li Zhi was made the crown prince, Li Tai didn't say anything and just hid from people.

It turned out that Li Shimin made such a promise.

Why?

Doesn't this give Li Tai hope and cause brothers to fight against each other in the future?

"What Changle said was that Li Tai accidentally let it slip."

Du Miaoyan said.

Princess Changle came to live in Fang Mansion this time because Li Tai refused to eat or drink to lose weight.

Her persuasion was fruitless, and she couldn't tell anyone else, so she could only stay out of sight and out of mind, and come to Fang Yuan's place for two days.

But he didn't expect that Li Tai would come to persuade him to go back today, and it was only then that Princess Changle mentioned it to Du Miaoyan.

"The emperor may have done something stupid."

Fang Yuan didn't know how to evaluate it and sighed.

Look now, Li Tai has lost so much weight in just a few months.

In another three to five months, Li Taizhen lost weight and asked Li Shimin for the crown prince's position, and the conflict intensified.

Because the prince did not change just because he wanted to, Li Shimin would definitely not agree to Li Tai's request.

"I hope not."

"After all, everyone who supports Li Tai will support Li Zhi by then."

Du Miaoyan understood what Fang Yuan said.

But I feel that what the emperor did is not a stupid thing.

Those who support Li Tai now support Li Zhi by default, and Li Tai has no supporters.

The emperor made a false promise to Li Tai, which resolved the situation where the brothers might have faced each other with swords.

"Hopefully."

"The situation in the imperial court is probably going to be chaotic again."

"I went into the palace to see the emperor today, and his attitude towards me was very bad. Then I went to see Li Jing, and I felt that he was confused about the title of king."

Fang Yuan also talked about what happened today.

"So, General Li Jing is really stunned by the Demon King."

"I can't believe that people like General Li Jing are so passionate about power."

Du Miaoyan sighed and said.

In the past, General Li Jing gave people the impression that he was calm and did not seek fame or fortune.

But listening to what Fang Yuan said, Li Jing was stunned by the Demon King, and he felt that he would not give up until he died.

"We come back at a bad time. Maybe we won't be able to do what we want to do, and we will be involved in things we don't want to do."

Fang Yuan felt a little melancholy.

Now he just wants to fix Lingnan and Future Island.

For other things, such as fighting, I have no idea for the time being.

For countries such as Rare Earth or Tubo, Fang Yuan had thought of annexing them.

But making money from them through trade is also a kind of annexation, and infusing one's own country's money into them is also a kind of annexation.

On the contrary, the latter is better. There is no need to manage their land after annexing it, etc., which saves a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Fang Yuan is not the supreme leader of the Tang Dynasty, so Fang Yuan's idea cannot be realized.

"It doesn't matter. The worst we can do is leave and conquer Lingnan in advance."

Du Miaoyan said in a deep voice.

Now that Fang Yuan is the King of Zhou, many things have nothing to do with Fang Yuan.

If you really want to bring Fang Yuan into the game, you have to see if you have the qualifications.

"hope so."

Fang Yuan nodded and said.

Later, the couple returned to the house.

After playing with the two little guys who could already walk, Fang Yuan went to the study room.

Although he did not go to Liaozhou to meet Zhao Yingcai this time, Fang Yuan felt it was necessary to write a letter to him since he had not contacted him for a long time.

Even the last time he was crowned king, Zhao Yingcai's letter had not been answered yet.

After writing thousands of words, Fang Yuan finally finished the letter and couldn't help but recall every moment he had with Zhao Yingcai.

Thanks to him, I am who I am now.

But now that he is the king of Zhou, he is still the governor.

Should we find an opportunity to raise Zhao Yingcai's position again?
Fang Yuan had already thought about this idea when he was not the King of Zhou.

But there were too many things in Liaozhou that needed to be watched, so Fang Yuan hesitated.

Or you can consider transferring Liaozhou’s assets
