Chapter 2138 Robbery (Part 1)
Outside Chang'an City, the ice and snow have melted, and the spring cold has disappeared.
The mountains in the distance are already slightly green, the ice in the river has melted, and the river is gurgling.
At Fangjiawan Pier, boats are like clouds.
Because the river was frozen and suspended for a winter, the waterway suddenly became busy at this time. Specialties from Guanzhong that had been squeezed out for a winter were urgently needed to be shipped out. Goods from all over the world poured in to fill the warehouses of merchants in Guanzhong.
After the winter silence, the entire dock seemed to be waking up from its slumber, with business travelers coming and going in all directions.
On the pier, King Jing Li Yuanjing and several close confidants had just returned to Beijing from the fiefdom of Jingzhou. They got off the ship. A carriage sent by the prince's palace was already waiting here. Li Yuanjing boarded the carriage.
The convoy was about to move forward when suddenly several warships arrived from one side. As soon as they docked at the dock, they saw a dozen strong soldiers emerging from the cabin, climbing up to the dock with strong bodies and tying the cables. On the wooden piles, the water-soaked wooden boxes were taken out of the cabin and transported to the dock.
"Hurry up, load them all into the car!"
"Mom! Be gentle with your hands and feet. If you break the box into pieces, I will beat you to death!"
"Load the car quickly, don't wait for the ice to melt!"
"One car will be sent back to the mansion, and the other will be sent to the palace."
……
There was a burst of noise and bustle, as dozens of soldiers rushed up and down, placing wooden boxes on the pier one by one, causing a lot of chaos in the area. Some merchants were dissatisfied with being blocked from loading and unloading goods. They were about to negotiate, but were blocked by friends around them.
"What do you want to do?"
"These guys are cowardly and unruly, do they really think that the dock belongs to them?"
“It really belongs to me!”
"Is this a soldier of the Fang family?"
"That's not true. These are the soldiers of the Navy, but how are they different from the private soldiers of the Fang family? The Navy was established by Fang Erlang and was called the 'Royal Navy'. But how can His Majesty control so many things? It’s not all Fang Erlang who can dominate the world. Brother, it’s your first time coming to Guanzhong. , I don’t know the reason behind it, but these warships travel between the dock and the East China Sea all year round, transporting seasonal seafood, most of which are transported to the palace... Why don’t you reason with these people and wait a while? Say something to avoid getting into trouble!”
"..."
Fang Jun's reputation has already shocked the Tang Dynasty and is well-known in the north and south.
Who in the world doesn't know that the Tang army, led by Fang Jun, marched out of Baidao, marched across Mobei, sealed the wolf in Xu, and destroyed Xue Yantuo?
Even Li Weigong was dwarfed by this "military god"-like figure, and was overshadowed by him.
The merchant was probably coming to Guanzhong for the first time. Hearing this, he said: "Thank you, brother, for reminding me, otherwise I would have been in great trouble! This is seafood for your majesty. I will send it to the palace as soon as possible."
"Hey, my dear brother, I don't know. This is not for Your Majesty, but for the little princess of Jinyang... The little princess has been weak and sick since she was a child. A few years ago, Taoist Master Sun suggested eating less meat and more seafood. Fang Erlang So I specially ordered the navy soldiers to transport seafood to Beijing all year round. To tell you the truth. "Your Majesty is very generous," he said. "If these seafood are for your Majesty's consumption, even if it takes time to spoil, it will probably be just a warning and I will not embarrass you. But this is for Princess Jinyang to eat, something went wrong." , then no one can protect you.”
……
There was a lot of chatter on the dock.
Li Yuanjing was sitting on the carriage. Because he was blocked by the boxes in front of the road, he was not allowed to move forward. The charioteer approached the carriage door and asked if he wanted to reveal the name of Prince Jing's Palace, and ordered him to step aside quickly to get out of the way.
Li Yuanjing became angry when he heard Fang Jun's name, but these seafood were given to Princess Jinyang. He knew very well how loving and doting the imperial brother was to Si Zi, and he did not want to mess with this matter. The emperor was unhappy, so he held back his anger and said: "It doesn't matter, let him go, just wait."
"Here."
The charioteer went back to the chariot and sat down without saying a word.
In the carriage, Li Yuanjing became increasingly frustrated.
Who would have thought that the unlearned, reckless and reckless Bang Chui could achieve what he does today?
Conquer Shi Yanran, seal the wolf as a subordinate, and destroy Xue Yantuo!
He even opened up new territories and expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty, increasing the territory of the Tang Dynasty by thousands of miles. His achievements were unrivaled in the world and will shine brightly in history!
Nowadays, Fang Jun has become one of the most famous generals in the Tang Dynasty military, and he has his own sect. He neither belongs to the Guanlong nobles, nor is he distinct from the Shandong tycoons led by Cheng Yaojin and others. In time, he will definitely become an indispensable force in the military. The neglected forces can even compete with the Guanlong nobles.
If Fang Jun is still friendly with me and uses him for his own purposes...
Li Yuanjing sighed.
What went wrong in the local area that made Fang Jun suddenly become a stranger to him, and even turned against him?
I can’t figure it out...
"Oh! It's the ice shuttle from the East China Sea..."
Xue Wanbei, who was sitting opposite Li Yuanjing, was lifting the car curtain when he saw a soldier accidentally throw a wooden box to the ground. The wooden box shattered and the barracuda inside, which was protected by ice blocks, spilled onto the ground. The fish was still flapping its tail and struggling. struggle.
Another person, He Qian Chengji, praised: "The spring food is so delicious that it is hard to describe, it is truly a delicacy in the world!"
Every year when winter turns to spring, when the ice breaks on the sea surface, barracudas come to the surface to look for food and are caught by fishermen. In winter, pike dive into the deep sea to overwinter. They rarely eat during the dormant period and have little bile and debris in their abdomens. The intestines and abdomen are clean.
The spring breeze brings warmth, the ice melts, and everything revives. The belly of the ice shuttle caught at this time is clean and the meat is extremely delicious.
It is a pity that only the northern part of Jiangnan Province, Hebei Province and Liaodong will freeze in the sea in the country. Moreover, these places are far away from Guanzhong and transportation is inconvenient. After being captured by ice shuttle, they have not yet been transported to Guanzhong. It went bad and smelly...
Who can catch marine fish in the Bohai Sea like Fang Jun, then use iced seawater to raise them in the cabin, and then go all the way to Huating Town and up the canal to Guanzhong?
Therefore, in Guanzhong, there has never been an ice shuttle on the market.
But after the ice in the Yellow River melted, there were a lot of big carps with golden scales... But they were completely different flavors. Things are rare and valuable, so it's no wonder that children of aristocratic families like Xue Wanbei, who was born in Dunhuang and grew up in Chang'an, also make a fuss and exclaim in admiration.
Li Yuanjing was inevitably a little depressed again.
This Xue Wanbei is also a brave man, but his structure is too small and his mind is too narrow-minded, especially his influence in the army is far worse than that of his brothers.
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Xue Wanbei's brother Xue Wanche. He has always been a brother-in-law with me and obeyed his advice. However, for some unknown reason, he suddenly alienated himself. Instead, he got closer and closer to Fang Jun. I heard that now there are new products on the market. Luo maids, Kunlun slaves, and Japanese Japanese devils were almost all monopolized by Xue Wanche, and the source of these slaves was Fang Jun...
What went wrong that caused the two most promising and most reliable generals under his command to part ways with him?
There was the sound of horse hooves outside the carriage, and the carriage prepared by the Fang family had already been transporting the boxes containing the ice shuttle, and the traffic on the dock became smoother.
Li Yuanjing's carriage rattled along and soon left the pier. Just as he was about to turn onto the official road and head towards the south gate of Chang'an, he saw a group of carriages and horses approaching quickly. The two sides met at the corner and for a moment At a loss, stuck there.
Both parties have cars and BMWs of extraordinary style, and they look like rich and distinguished people at first glance. Neither one is willing to give way to the other, which would cause a loss of face.
The charioteer driving on the opposite side said loudly: "I am the driver of the Prince Wu's palace. I am leaving the city for business on the orders of the princess. Please get out of the way quickly!"
When the charioteer of Prince Jing's Mansion heard this, he said, "Oh, it turns out to be Princess Wu's people. It's such a big show... But who is afraid of you!"
"I am the driver of Prince Jing's palace, and my prince is in the car right now. Why do you ask my prince to make way for you?"
There was a sudden misfire on the other side...
It is true that King Wu Li Ke is the son of the emperor and a first-class prince, but compared with King Jing, he is still one step behind. Not to mention anything else, as the son of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, Li Yuanjing is one generation higher than Li Ke, and he was also It is to support His Majesty Li Er. He has never done anything rashly for many years. His Majesty Li Er has always followed his lead and is deeply favored.
Li Ke's princely airs really can't be displayed in front of Li Yuanjing...
The servants of Prince Jing's Mansion were naturally proud of themselves when they saw that the other party had stopped and took the initiative to move their carriages and horses to one side to make way for them.
When Li Yuanjing heard in the car that he was from Prince Wu's palace, he immediately became furious.
He has coveted the Kim sisters for a long time. After all, Queen Seondeok was once the head of a country. Even though he coveted it, he did not dare to do anything wrong. However, he took Princess Jindeok as his concubine and buried a secret in Silla. Nail, but he couldn't bear it for a moment... Even if Queen Seon Deok asked His Majesty Li Er for a marriage, Li Yuanjing didn't care.
How is a mere princess who sacrifices her country any different from a princess whose country is subjugated?
He, Li Yuanjing, showed his fondness for her and wanted to bring her into his palace. Even the emperor had to give her some face. How could she compare to him, a prince of the royal family, if she was no more than a woman?
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to succeed, Li Ke, the king of Wu, stabbed out from behind, and he brazenly agreed that Fang Jun should take Princess Zhende as his concubine... (End of this chapter)
