The next day, Li Xian returned to Wuyang with his second brother Li Wei. Xia Qingqing officially took over Anyang!
Imperial mausoleums have been very important since ancient times, and building them is a huge project. Sometimes, the construction of imperial mausoleums can even bring down a country.
Why is it so important to build an imperial mausoleum? No one knows! This secret seems to be circulated only among the royal family.
Looking at all the historical records, almost all emperors ordered the construction of imperial mausoleums on the day they took the throne; only a very few would build imperial mausoleums before their death. Only emperors who died unexpectedly would have their imperial mausoleums built after their death.
"There must be a secret that we don't know about!" Li Wei finally came to this conclusion.
"Yeah, second brother is really smart, why didn't I think of it?"
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Hurry up and get on with your journey."
The two of them kept bickering as they hurried back to Wuyang. First they went home to see their father, and then Li Xian dragged a large box over. After Li Yulong opened the box, he gasped again. There were exactly 100 spiritual stones in the box!
If used well, these one hundred spirit stones could even unleash the power of an empire.
After watching for a long time, Li Yulong suddenly asked Li Xian, "Is the deal with the Sea Clan guaranteed?"
"As long as I hold the secret of stainless steel, it's guaranteed!"
"Stainless steel?" Li Yulong hesitated for a long time. "Make your craftsmen and everyone who knows the secret of stainless steel swear an oath."
Li Xian had a confident smile on his face: "Dad, this should have been done a long time ago, otherwise the secret of stainless steel would have been leaked a long time ago."
"Oh, you've really grown up. Now it seems that it's your second brother who hasn't grown up yet..."
Li Wei was very dissatisfied. "Dad, I have grown up a long time ago! When my little brother was naughty, I was killing the enemy on the battlefield!"
Li Yulong smiled slightly, "Second brother, although you are nominally in charge of the construction of the imperial mausoleum this time, you should not interfere in the actual process. Let Li Xian be in charge. You are good at marching and fighting, but when it comes to these administrative tasks, you are really no match for your eldest brother and your third brother."
"Don't worry, don't worry, Dad. The best thing about me is that I don't like trouble. That's why I became a general. If I don't like someone, I will just chop him off with my sword, and he will always be pleasing to me."
Li Xian: …
Li Yulong's mouth twitched, and he finally snorted, "Xiaoxian, go to the palace and meet His Majesty. Hey..."
By the end of the conversation, Li Yulong was also losing interest; it was obvious that the changes in the court of the Great Xia Kingdom had left Li Yulong speechless.
Li Xian drove a carriage to the palace; every time he came to the palace, Li Xian would bring gifts; of course, every time Li Xian would make a lot of money.
Fu Minghui still received Li Xian, but the Fu Minghui he saw now made Li Xian almost unbelievable. The high-spirited chief guard and the most popular person around the emperor now looked haggard, with a few strands of white hair on his temples! This is a master in the Jindan stage, and there are white hairs on his temples
"Doctor, are you okay?"
Fu Minghui smiled bitterly, "I'm fine, I just got a little possessed. I just need to calm down and regulate my breathing. But Your Majesty, ah... let's go."
