"Second brother?!" Li Xian never thought that his second brother would come here.
Li Weilong walked in front of Li Xian with a tiger-like step, and said in a majestic manner, "Not bad, your Anyang is much more prosperous than my brother's Kaiping County."
"Brother, why are you here? Is everything okay at home?"
Li Weida pulled a chair and sat down carelessly, "Everything is fine at home. But let me ask you a question first. No, guess first, can you guess my purpose this time?"
Li Xiancai didn't have that kind of free time, so he turned to look at the Taoist priest Ling Zhifeng next to him.
Ling Zhifeng smiled slightly, "Second Young Master, do we need to guess? You have told us everything."
"Tell? How come I don't know?" Li Wei looked at Ling Zhifeng, and suddenly his face showed a little contempt, "You don't want to tell fortunes, do you?"
"Second Young Master is straightforward. I am just telling fortunes. Second Young Master entered the inner hall as a general, sitting in the southeast and looking northwest. He is begging for money, and he is looking at the end of the mountain of gold. Considering Second Young Master's status, I guess this wealth is not insignificant. I am afraid it is not worth a million taels of gold!"
Li Wei stared at Ling Zhifeng in amazement for a long time... and finally snorted, "I say, can't you embellish your words a little? What do you mean by 'begging for money'?"
"Hey... Second Young Master, please forgive me. Please be more careful next time."
Li Wei said carelessly: "Be careful next time? Bah, there won't be a next time! Even if there really is a next time, I will definitely avoid you. Okay, little brother, this is what happened. His Majesty the Emperor is suffering from the Five Degenerations... The Crown Prince is deposed and appointed... The Emperor's Mausoleum is being repaired..."
Li Wei told all the stories in detail, and Li Xian and the others were stunned. After all, Anyang is located in a remote area, and although some information was obtained, it was not very accurate; moreover, the construction of the imperial mausoleum was kept secret and would not be publicized.
What surprised Li Xian the most was that the eldest prince actually wanted 200,000 sets of bearings and 300 kilograms of sea soul silk. What was he going to do with it
Next to him, Xia Qingqing was reading the greeting letter sent by the eldest prince. After reading it, Xia Qingqing carefully put it away without saying anything, and just quietly returned to Li Xian.
The room was silent for a while, Li Xian, Xu Ren and others were all thinking about the direction of these things. One thing was clear, the Great Xia Kingdom was finished. But how to act next and what the political policy should be, still needed to be considered in detail; if one was not careful, the past efforts might turn into water.
Only Li Wei saw the heavy atmosphere and suddenly raised a small question: "Little brother, father said that building the imperial mausoleum is the emperor's protection and restraint for our Li family. Why can't I see any element of protection? I only see restraint!"
Li Xian covered his forehead and said, "Brother, we have already built the imperial mausoleum and are bound to it. We can naturally ignore the disputes outside, such as the disputes among the princes. There is nothing more important than building the imperial mausoleum. And with this excuse, many things will be easier for us to do."
"Yeah!!! It's that simple???"
"Yes, it's that simple. So, we are paying for peace, and it's worth it."
Li Wei finally lowered his proud head and said, "Forget it, I'll go out and take a look. I'll leave the matter of the imperial mausoleum to you."
