Xu Qilin doesn't know much about ghosts, bad luck, etc., and often needs Daya to remind him. After all, he was a materialist in his previous life and experienced less of this in his later life.

According to Daya, sometimes it is due to fate that you cannot change.

Xu Qilin really has no choice. Who told Xu Zi to be the princess or the princess that His Majesty Li Er loves the most? He would never be able to keep him by his side to protect him at any time.

In the next two days, Xu Qilin arranged the matter of taking care of his sister more thoughtfully and meticulously. He felt that everything was foolproof, so he set off for Xin'an.

After several years of practice, Xin'an's glass craftsmen have made great progress in their blowing skills and invented many auxiliary equipment. The yield rate has increased significantly and finally met the conditions for market sale.

In other words, in addition to the treasure pot of mirror, Dayingku will add a large investment, and the money will follow.

Xu Qilin arrived in Xin'an and began to continue to improve the process and prepare for glass commodity exhibitions in Chang'an and Yangzhou.

Chang'an is the capital city and the Western Regions, with many powerful and wealthy people and Hu merchants; Yangzhou is connected to sea trade, with economic prosperity and maritime merchants and wealthy people. Glass products defined as luxury goods naturally need to be sheared from these fat sheep.

Now, the process of transparent glass is basically perfect, and Xu Qilin has focused on the manufacturing of optical glass. This requires higher transparency and higher refractive index.

In addition to optical glass, Xu Qilin also guided the production of large flat glass. It is still a calendering method, and other methods are technically difficult to achieve.

After repeated experiments and repeated changes to the formula, Xu Qilin felt that he was not far from success.

In order to succeed in the exhibition, Xu Qilin also began to pay a small amount of tribute to the royal family in Chang'an. In addition to the royal family's own use, it is also an excellent publicity as a reward.

But unexpectedly, when he gave something, he found an excuse for Li Sipang and ran to Xin'an to find him.

Originally, as soon as Xu Qilin came back, Li Sipang received news. It was a bit too much to see him when he was in Chang'an, but when he arrived in Xin'an, he didn't come to pay a visit.

Of course, putting aside the relationship between the two, Xu Qilin is an official in Dayingku, and is not affiliated with Li Sipang, and there is no need to meet him.

Li Sipang might have noticed something strange, and something was wrong. So he didn't even write a letter. Xu Qilin happened to send glass products to an important figure in the royal family, so he came to Xin'an under the name of picking a few more pieces.

Xu Qilin was a little surprised by Li Sipang's arrival, but he did not inform anyone of false accusations in the capital.

Anyway, this matter has passed, telling Li Sipang may arouse his resentment. If something happens impulse, isn't it his responsibility?

OK, if you like glass products, then you can choose it!

Xu Qilin fulfilled his friendship with the landlord and accompanied Li Sipang to the warehouse to pick up. Of course, Li Sipang was not greedy for money, but wanted to get some information or guidance from Xu Qilin.

Xu Qilin still said the same thing, "Watch the changes and enjoy the success." Although there is nothing new, it made Li Sipang feel relieved.

When the two were alone, Li Sipang talked about the concerns of being conscious of being shallow in the foundation and not having enough connections.

"Your Highness, do you think the Crown Prince has a deep foundation and a wide network of contacts?" Xu Qilin asked with a smile.

Li Sipang thought about it, raised his eyebrows, seemed to have some insight, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I'm too worried."

His Majesty Li Er is still in good health, and even the prince cannot threaten him. This is the habit of the royal family and imperial power.

What power does Prince Li Chengqian have, what foundation does he have, and what connections do he have? You are just a prince, what are you going to do to cultivate your wings?

Unless His Majesty Li Er feels that there is not much time and it is very urgent to train successors, he will personally teach and personally select important officials to entrust their orphans, just like Li Zhi.

So, Li Sipang was awakened by Xu Qilin's retort and felt that he had thought wrong.

"Your Highness just do your own thing well. It's yours, it's yours, it's yours." Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Luozhou is well-managed, and this is a merit. And someone can only stay in the capital, and he doesn't have a chance to make it!"

Of course, Li Sipang knew that someone was referring to the crown prince Li Chengqian. Not to mention any achievements, there were a lot of negative things, which made the ministers dare not come close to the support.

"I heard that Xu Chongrong is already happy." Li Sipang raised his glass to greet Xu Qilin, and said, "I am here to congratulate Qilin."

Xu Qilin raised his glass to return and said, "I hurried back to Chang'an a few days ago. This is the reason. I will be my uncle next year."

Li Sifa smiled and said, "I also want more younger brothers and sisters. I like to drink!"

"Drinking victory!" Xu Qilin was happy when he thought of this and raised his head and fucked the cup.

Drinking, eating, chatting, and reuniting after a long separation, they had a harmonious and close conversation.

"I heard that Qi Lin was assassinated in Ganzhou. I was really shocked and lucky to have nothing to do." Li Sipang turned his wine glass, his face looked solemn, and said, "Why, the real culprit behind the scenes has not been found yet?"

Xu Qilin knew the murderer, but the commander behind the scenes only knew his appearance, his name, and he didn't know who was sent by him. He had to shake his head and said, "It's okay. Although I can't find out, I have also strengthened my guards and will not give him any more opportunities to take advantage of."

After pausing, Xu Qilin reminded, "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must be careful. Can the guard be effective next to your highness? But you must be more careful!"

Li Sipang nodded disinterestedly and said, "Thank you for your concern, there is no problem with the safety of the orphan."

"Don't be careless!" Xu Qilin reminded again, "It's easy to defend against the crossbow used by the assassination murderer, but the crossbow arrow is poisonous and it's extremely dangerous to get it."

Li Sipang blinked his eyes and felt that Xu Qilin reminded him twice, and he nodded and accepted it, saying that he would strengthen his defense.

Xu Qilin also used the Soul Detention Order to observe Li Sipang, but found nothing abnormal, so he felt relieved.

In history, Li Chengqian sent people to falsely accused him and even sent people to assassinate Li Sipang, but unfortunately he failed. The best thing was that he had to take risks and initiated a coup.

"The work here has come to an end, and I will go to the Yangzhou Shipyard." Xu Qilin said his arrangements this year, "Your Majesty's determination to conquer Goguryeo has been settled. In addition to shipbuilding, I may go to Hebei Road to work next year."

After pausing, Xu Qilin continued, "Maybe you can't go to Hebei Road, but I have to walk around that place and report the business strategy to Your Majesty. In addition, I have to go to Denglai, where Dayingku is exploring gold mines."

Li Sipang nodded and said, "If you conquer Goguryeo, you must raise an army from Luoyang, right? Hebei Road is afraid that it cannot support all the food, supplies, so you still have to transport them from Luoyang."

Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "The rebellion must be in Luoyang, but the food and supplies can be transported directly from Jiangnan to the sea route. This is also the reason why someone is anxious to build a ship."

"If this is the case, it will be much more convenient." Li Sipang thought for a while and asked, "Will the father lead the emperor personally to fight?"

Xu Qilin said with a slight head, "For this reason, Your Highness must be able to stand his mind. Major matters will only be decided within the past two or three years. Do not act rashly and fail."

Since His Majesty Li Er wants to lead the army in person, the matters in the capital must be arranged.

Li Chengqian was unbearable, how could he let him stay in the name of the state of governing the country? Therefore, the final determination of the heir was about to be lifted soon.

As long as Li Sipang doesn't mess around, Li Chengqian will naturally be the best candidate. The pie will really hit the head, and Li Sipang didn't understand this before.

Of course, he has been instructed by Xu Qilin in recent years and has been smooth sailing. Leaving the capital has made him gain a lot. Not only did he avoid the head-on conflict with Li Chengqian, but he also gained a good reputation for governing the local area and sympathizing with the people.

At the same time, Li Sipang has been a father for a long time and has gradually understood his father's painstaking efforts.

No matter how unbearable Li Chengqian is, his father will at most depose his position as crown prince, and most likely will not kill him. If he is in a bad relationship with Li Chengqian, or even has the same power, wouldn’t his father be worried that he will take office and kill his brother?

The Xuanwu Gate Incident, brothers were killed and father and son were separated. Once was enough, and it became a stain that the father would wash away throughout his life. How could he be willing to see his son repeat the tragedy?

Therefore, even if you pretend, you must act like a kind and respectful person. How Li Chengqian treats himself is stupid and short-sighted, but he must not show the desire to kill his brother and be happy.

Because of this, Li Sipang was grateful to Xu Qilin. If he had not been to go out to the vassal state after listening to his advice, he would not know what he would be like with his elder brother in the capital.

Although Li Sipang followed Xu Qilin's advice and did not let someone win over this or buy that for him in the capital, he still had a purpose. He knew very clearly what Li Chengqian did.

Do it, do it, you do it yourself, I just watched quietly from the side and waited honestly.

"By the way, I have something to ask Your Highness to help you." Xu Qilin suddenly remembered something and said, "I want to compile a book, but my energy is limited. I want to ask Your Highness to send a few people."

Li Sipang smiled and said, "The "Kuodizhi" has been compiled, and the literati under his command are very idle. Qi Lin needs it, so he called them over."

Xu Qilin bowed and said, "thank you, your highness." After a pause, he smiled and said, "Don't send high-ranking officials, and don't want to have bad tempers. I'm worried that I can't command them."

Li Sipang laughed and said, "Okay, just choose carefully."

Xu Qilin did plan to compile a large book, and usually only recorded it in scattered ways. He has saved a lot in a few years. But if he wanted to summarize, he still felt it was troublesome, mainly because he lacked energy.

…………………

Chang'an, in the palace.

His Majesty Li Er held a crystal tea cup and drank tea while admiring. After changing the tea set, he felt a little different.

He also knew that this exquisite glassware would bring a lot of money. Shipbuilding, accumulating food and supplies, recruiting government troops, etc., would solve a lot of money for conquering Goguryeo.

However, the good mood did not last long. General Li Anyan of the Central Army came to report that Wei Zheng was seriously ill and seemed to be in a lifetime soon.

His Majesty Li Er was ready to visit him immediately, but when he walked to the gate of the hall, he stopped again. He frowned and thought for a while, and he ordered someone to tell Princess Jinyang to come.

Time was not long, so Yizi came to Qianqiu Palace and asked her with a smile what happened to her father summoning her.

When His Majesty Li Er saw this most beloved daughter, he couldn't help but suppress his sorrow and smiled and said that he was taking her to visit Wei Zheng's mansion.

"It's because the Duke of Zheng is seriously ill, and his father is going to visit him!" Yizi lowered his smile and said, "Duke of Zheng is an important minister, and the child is willing to go with his father."

His Majesty Li Er nodded, feeling deeply relieved that he had such a sensible child.

The car drove out of the palace and walked all the way to the Duke of Zheng. Knowing that his Majesty was coming in person, Wei Zheng's wife and eldest son Wei Shuyu hurried out to welcome him.

His Majesty Li Er entered the mansion, briefly asked about his condition, and summoned the accompanying imperial physician to treat him. When the imperial physician came out to report, he realized that Wei Zheng was already in a serious condition and had no cure.

After sighing a long time, His Majesty Li Er looked full of affection and took his witty inside to visit.

Wei Zhengben was already sick and drowsy, and he rarely woke up. But it was just that coincidence that when His Majesty Li Er entered, Old Wei understood.

His Majesty Li Er took a step forward, pressed Lao Wei who was forced to get up, opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—" Old Wei opened his godless eyes and spoke no longer as flawless as before. "I know that there is not much time left, so I can no longer advise you."

His Majesty Li Er felt sad and comforted him, "Don't think about it when you are in peace. I am waiting for you to go back to the court and speak honestly and make me correct my mistakes and end the good way."

Wei Zheng shook his head with great effort, and it was already hard to open his eyes. Two tears slowly flowed out from the corners of his eyes, and he slowly said, "I don't care about the Wei, but I worry about the demise of Zong Zhou."

His Majesty Li Er forced himself to laugh, reached out to wave to Yizi, and said to Wei Zheng, "I brought Princess Jinyang here to visit my beloved minister. Secondly, I will surrender the princess to the son of Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei, look at Ling'er's wife!"

Wei Zheng tried hard to open his eyes wide, looked at the princess standing on the hospital bed, and nodded slightly, but he could no longer speak.

His eyes were no longer good, but he didn't see that Wei Zi's face suddenly turned pale, as if he had heard something shocked.

His Majesty Li Er just looked at Wei Zheng, but did not notice the change in Yizi's expression.

His Majesty Li Er regretted and felt sad about Wei Zheng, and this was not a false statement. Because the two of them had similarities, had their own personalities, and were both sticking to the end for the same goal.

Wei Zheng's character is a pure minister and a famous minister. He will do his best to assist him no matter who he follows.

His Majesty Li Er's character is a wise monarch. To be a wise monarch, he naturally needs famous ministers to assist him. Famous officials who are loyal and honest and dare to advise can better reflect their own wise monarch's nature.

Of course, the Wei trolls' direct advice also made His Majesty Li Er suffer a lot. But at this time, His Majesty Li Er did not expect this.

Faced with the old minister's imminent death, His Majesty Li Er pointed out that he wanted to marry Wei Zheng's last wish, so he didn't have to worry about what would happen to his family after his death.
