Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 472 Tang Travel (14)

What are you doing here again?

"What are you saying, Your Highness? What can I do here? Of course, I'll just watch the show," Wangyou said with a smile, which made Li Chengqian so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

“Third sister, Mother is already in such a state, even the greatest hatred should be let go,” Li Lizhi said righteously.

"You make it sound so easy. I like it, I'm happy, it's none of your business. Don't put on airs like a princess. In terms of rank, shouldn't you be bowing to me?" Wangyou rolled her eyes inelegantly.

"you……"

"What do you mean 'you'? You should be grateful I didn't hold a grudge against you and your siblings!"

Satisfied, he pleased everyone in the room and went home happily, forgetting all his worries.

When she got back and saw the thick stack of account books on the table, Wangyou suddenly couldn't be happy anymore.

After a while, Wangyou resignedly opened the account book. Although the people below wouldn't do anything shady, Wangyou still had to keep track of everything.

"Monkey, are you looking at the ledger?"

"Hey, Wangyou, I just remembered I haven't done my patrol today. I'll go see who's so blind as to cause trouble for our shop." Sun Wukong vanished in a flash.

Sun Wukong is now a little afraid of Wangyou. She's only been back for a year, but she's making money incredibly fast. It's really difficult for a monkey like him to look at the accounts!

Over the past year, folk tales have been circulating wildly, claiming that the Princess Zhenguo discovered high-yield grain seeds, that she produced transparent glass, cement that benefits the country and its people, and even cannons capable of taking enemy heads from among thousands of troops.

The availability of cotton and heated brick beds, which appeared a few years earlier, has significantly reduced the mortality rate among people in harsh, cold regions.

The arrangements in China are almost complete, and the people to be sent out to sea are almost all ready.

However, the emergence of so many wonderful things during the Tang Dynasty also attracted the covetousness of other countries, such as the Xiongnu and Goguryeo.

Wangyou plans to send people to neighboring countries to do business, such as trading cattle, sheep and horses with the Xiongnu, which have many uses.

As the saying goes, if it's hard to break through from the top, start from the bottom. Those at the top always want to take, but those at the bottom just want to survive.

According to maps, Goguryeo and Japan have abundant mineral resources, so it's not impossible to make some plans there.

But there's no rush, we can take it slow.

Li Shimin was indeed a good emperor, I don't deny that, but it has to be said that he had a bad temper. Although he and Empress Zhangsun have a rift now, they are still a supportive couple.

After Wangyou returned, she rebuilt her mother's mausoleum. She was hastily buried in a thin coffin back then. I wonder if she regretted entering the palace in the first place.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian seems quite promising at the moment. If he were to succeed to the throne, he would likely be a good emperor. However, throughout history, few crown princes have successfully ascended the throne, and his trials are yet to come.

Wangyou didn't care much, so it didn't matter who the emperor was. However, Wangyou did rummage through Li Shimin's children.

I was speechless again. How could Li Shimin think his wife was a virtuous empress? Apart from the children born to Empress Zhangsun, who were healthy, the other children in the harem either suffered from various illnesses or died young.

It seems that if Li Shimin dies, the successors will definitely be the children of Empress Zhangsun. Wangyou is not worried about this. Even if one of them succeeds to the throne, they will not be able to touch her.

Besides, Li Shimin didn't want to touch her, but he couldn't!

It's that time of year again for the spring imperial examinations, and many students have come to Chang'an.

"Your Highness, rest assured, all our people have arrived. Would you like to see them?"

"No need. Just let them be good officials who speak up for the people. There's no need to ask for anything else."

"Your Highness, rest assured, the arrangements have been made."

"Caohua, you're not getting any younger, do you have any plans to get married?"

"Your Highness, are you sending me away? I'm not going anywhere."

"why?"

“What’s so good about getting married? You have to serve your in-laws, take care of your children, and be tolerant and generous enough to let your husband take concubines. It’s not as comfortable as being by the side of a princess.”

“You could find someone like Qingman, someone who is an orphan with no relatives.”

"I would rather not. By the princess's side, I can see more and do more."

"You can make the decision yourself. If you change your mind someday, just let me know."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"I have met my third sister."

"Get up!"

"Is Third Sister looking at Imakazu Kagaku?"

"Li Tai, you'd better not pry into my affairs." Wangyou glanced at Li Tai with a cold look that almost made him kneel down.

"Third sister, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just asking casually."

"Go do your thing!" Wangyou didn't want to waste any more words with him and turned to look out the window again.

Li Tai almost lost his composure. How old was he? Still playing around. But this third sister was clearly not easy to approach.

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty knew that Wangyou was incredibly wealthy, able to amass wealth faster than mining gold. Anyone who could gain her support would possess a huge fortune.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince has left."

"Looks like there's going to be some fun. Li Tai has his own little schemes, and Li Chengqian's position as crown prince is not very secure," Wangyou said with a light laugh.

"Your Highness, the Minister of Revenue has been lingering downstairs for quite some time."

"You want me to pay for the army again? You're dreaming! Here, give me the money. You want to poach that army for me? Do you really think I'm a sucker?"

"Yes, Your Highness, it should have been done long ago."

As a result, the Minister of Revenue was pleased, and the national treasury saved another sum of money.

Li Shimin was overjoyed to hear that the provisions and military funds for the expedition against Goguryeo were ready.

However, a month later, Li Shimin, who was preparing to set off, found that he could no longer command his army. Even the military tally was useless. When he asked, he found that Princess Zhenguo had not given any orders.

"Forget-Me-Not, what have you done?"

"Why don't you think about what you've done? Do you really think I'm a sucker? I've been supporting them all these years. Since I've been supporting them, what's wrong with them being my people?" Wangyou tilted her head and asked with a smile.

Li Shimin's arrogance vanished instantly. He thought it was because of Wang You's generosity, but in reality, someone secretly poached his army, turning him into a complete puppet emperor.

"How can you give the army back to me?!"

"I demand that you sign a military pledge: You must destroy Japan and Goguryeo, and exterminate their people!"

"I agree!" Li Shimin agreed after a moment's thought. Anyway, he was planning to recover the lost territories, so he was willing to risk exterminating the entire race. After all, the one who paid was the boss.

"Alright, then let's not waste any more words. Grass Flower, pass on my orders!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Caohua accepted the order and gave the instructions.

When Li Shimin returned, he found that he could mobilize the army.

Sometimes Li Shimin would think, why don't I just give up the throne? It's so frustrating to have a sword hanging over my head all the time!
