Chapter 970 Don’t let the prince’s instigation affect the father-son relationship between His Highness and His Majesty (please subscribe and vote)

Niu Weituo and the elite soldiers of the left guard all watched helplessly as the baggage truck tilted its buttocks and slowly slid towards the river.

The two large baskets on the baggage cart fell directly into the river. After making a huge splash, they gradually sank into the water.

Niu Weituo was so shocked that he quickly jumped off his mount and shouted loudly.

Fortunately, some soldiers carried the kind of claw hooks used for climbing, and several claw hooks were accurately thrown to the location where the two large baskets fell.

Finally, the two baskets of luggage were not allowed to sink to the bottom of the river.

Everyone began to pull the claws hurriedly towards the river bank, and some soldiers even ignored the cold water of the river.

He strode into the river, grabbed the edge of the basket and dragged it to the shore while screaming.

"These are our army rations, ours, brothers, come on, otherwise we won't have anything to eat..."

The left-back elites, who had become accustomed to the compressed military rations these days, rushed forward bravely and crowded to the shore to cheer together.

Finally, the two big baskets were dragged ashore.

Niu Weituo breathed heavily and looked at the dripping basket, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

He raised his head and glanced at the sunshine, which was already approaching noon, and shouted loudly.

"They are still dazed and doing nothing. Hurry across the river and set up camp on the spot after crossing the river."

After crossing the bridge and setting up camp hastily, they started to light a fire in the stove. Niu Weituo picked up a piece of wet compressed dry food and shook off the water outside the oiled paper bag.

After opening the cover, I saw the compressed dry food inside. Apart from being moist on the surface, there was no sign of being softened and dispersed at all.

Seeing this scene, Niu Weituo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly asked the soldiers to take apart the compressed dry food to dry the water on the surface.

"My dear, this thing has just been soaked in the water to get a stick or two of incense, but it is only wet on the surface..."

"Just now I was worried that this thing would be washed away by the river, but it turned out to be so strong."

"I'll try it first. Well...it still tastes the same and fragrant. I don't think there's anything wrong at all. Come on, come on, give me a bowl of hot soup..."

I saw that these elite foodies, after seeing that there was no loss in compressing dry food, actually started eating in such a heartless manner.

Niu Weituo was really dumbfounded, but he did not forget about business and quickly asked Niu Bajin to bring paper and charcoal pens.

Let me note another characteristic of this compressed dry food, that is, even if it encounters heavy rain or flooding, its shape will not be damaged by external forces.

After two quarters of an hour, only the surface will be moist, which will not affect the texture and taste of the compressed dry food.

Li Tai was staying with several scholars at the moment, reviewing the newly compiled history of Jinzhou.

Are there any errors or omissions in the location, names, mountains, rivers, cities, monuments, myths and legends, and major historical events?

In front of them, there were similar series of books from the past such as "Hanshu Geography" and "Yu Geography".

There is also a lot of information about Jinju collected by the Jinju local government.

Nearly ten people compared and reviewed it for a full day before confirming that there was no problem.

Li Tai also breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his arms, and stood up.

Looking at the lard cake left on the plate in front of him, he reached out and picked up another piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Enjoy the sweetness and crispiness of the lard cake.

I saw the housekeeper, Eunuch Li, appearing outside the house at some unknown time.

Li Tai swallowed the lard cake in his mouth, stood up and walked outside the house.

Eunuch Li, the housekeeper, leaned into Li Tai's ear and whispered a few words.

Li Tai's face became extremely ugly, and his voice suddenly rose by at least an octave.

"Can the news be confirmed?!"

Eunuch Li, the steward, nodded cautiously.

"Your Highness, what I have said is definitely not false. It was the steward sent by Duke Zhao who personally informed my servant."

Jiang Yaqing, who was sorting books inside, heard the conversation coming from outside the house. She raised her eyebrows, put down the books in her hands, and hurried outside the house.

#####

For Li Tai, the fact that his father issued an edict and ordered the prince brother to preside over the compilation of the "Datang Pharmacopoeia" was like stabbing a knife in his heart.

As for the five thousand pieces of silk and five thousand catties of gold, what does this mean? Is this to compensate for one's guilt?

Li Tai's fat face that should have been rosy was now completely pale, and he was sitting on the couch panting.

This was not only because he walked back to the palace in anger, but also because he was angered by the bad news.

At this moment, there were only two people in the room, Li Tai and Jiang Yaqing.

Jiang Yaqing was also very keen to report the injustice to His Highness the King of Wei.

"The prince is already the crown prince of the country. His Majesty asked the prince to come forward for such a matter. It's really..."

King Wei Li Tai patted his thigh hard and couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

"My father doesn't even give his uncle face, so he is so biased and insistent, so he is not afraid of the comments from the ministers?"

"Your Highness, I think that His Majesty must have done this out of necessity. After all, the Crown Prince is very scheming and has already made a lot of preparations."

"After even compiling the "Guannai Dao Pharmacopoeia", it was presented to the imperial court."

"I just want to stop the courtiers from competing with them for merit. Your Majesty is merciful and the prince is his eldest son..."

Following Jiang Yaqing's analysis, Li Tai's full of hatred fell on the prince he wanted to replace.

#####

"Mr. Jiang...is this okay?" When Jiang Yaqing said goodbye and left the room, Eunuch Li saw him off in person and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Jiang Yaqing stroked his short beard, paused in his steps, glanced at the empty surroundings, and then lowered his voice and said.

"Eunuch Li, His Highness's biggest opponent is the Crown Prince, not His Majesty."

"If His Highness also has resentment towards His Majesty, how can His Highness be filial to His Majesty with all his heart, and how can he gain His Majesty's love?"

Eunuch Li's face suddenly dawned, and he couldn't help but salute the wily and scheming Jiang Yaqing with sincerity.

"Thanks for the tip, sir. Indeed, my Highness has always been favored by the emperor.

How can the father-son relationship between His Highness and Your Majesty be affected by the instigation of the Crown Prince?"

"This is exactly the reason, Eunuch Li, when you are around His Highness, you must advise His Highness.

Get closer to His Majesty and be sure not to lose the Emperor's favor. This is the most important thing..."

"As for the prince, your highness just needs to be patient. After all, your majesty is young and will last forever. If anything happens to the prince, then..."

"But our family is just worried that the prince will make no mistakes. Isn't it useless?"

"Eunuch Li's words are wrong. The prince will make no mistakes. As long as we make careful arrangements..."

After listening for a long time, Eunuch Li suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help but salute Jiang Yaqing, who was full of water.
