The E Kingdom was a vassal state with the surname Wei, and the daughter of E Yufang. She married King Li Jihu, so she naturally should be called Li Yu.

In early spring, the snow in the winter had already melted, and the buds on the branches of countless flowers and trees in the palace were all exposed. Walking on the long corridor made of vermilion brick walls, Li Yan felt that he was in a very comfortable mood, and his whole steps were much lighter, and he was almost flying.

The maid behind him followed her breathlessly and whispered: "My mother, princess, don't go so fast. This is in the palace, don't let anyone laugh at it."

Li Yan stuck out his tongue when he heard this. Although he smiled continuously, he still slowed down his feet. She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a bright face, and a very charming face.

The maid whispered, "The first time I see the emperor, I will see whether I can be favored in the future. The maid wants me to watch you, but I must not be so rash. When Empress E was a girl, that was------"

"Okay, okay, I must learn from my aunt, and be a model of a quiet and gentle palace concubine who can't smile. OK?" Li Yan rolled his eyes mischievously. As long as he could remember, she knew that the E family had a second concubine, and later was named the queen, which would be even more amazing and became the arrogance of the entire E Kingdom. Not to mention E Hou's own family, even in the common people's house in the mountains and fields, which parents did not teach their daughter: "Look at Empress Wang Wei, it's because she has been doing this since she was a child------"

Because of this, when she learned that her father had chosen her to serve the king, her heart was as happy as if she was about to fly, and all this was like a dream. She would become a person like her aunt, a wonderful woman who brought supreme glory to her family and motherland, and she believed that she could do it.

Seeing her being so rude, the maid became anxious: "Oh, my aunt, you are talking nonsense again. Who in the world doesn't know that the queen who the emperor has booked is the princess of the Jiang surname of Shen Kingdom. If you want to be a model of a palace concubine, if this is said, where will the future queen be put? Princess, this is the palace, you have to think clearly about every word and act, and don't say anything without thinking clearly."

"Okay, okay." Li Wei was defeated a little embarrassedly and muttered, "I wouldn't have brought you to the dowry if I had known it. I'd been talking nonsense because I was ten years older than me, really!"

Fortunately, it is not far from the hall, and the master and servant can end this meaningless dispute.

The eunuch Jia, who was white-bearded and white, came up with a smile. Before the person could hear him, he came: "This is the Princess of E, right? The emperor is discussing matters with Mr. Rongyi. Please wait a moment. The old slave will go and communicate first."

As the eunuch Jia said, she was also secretly looking at Li Yan. She was wearing a pink satin-shaped long jacket with a slanted collar, a circle of squirrel fur on the collar and cuffs, a golden tangled flower embroidered on the edge, and a moon-white skirt with a moon-white thread on the bottom; a huge red gold lock of auspiciousness and blessings hanging on the chest, which was golden and dazzling; a pair of jewel-inlaid golden jade hairpins were inserted on the head. The one on the end was full of radiance and radiance.

After he died, the heroine of the Haojing Palace had never been added, so how could Li Yan not be noticed when he appeared in front of the steps of the hall? Facing his eyes everywhere and around him, Li Yan was both excited and nervous. He held the jade hairpin on his head. After he was sure that he had not worn it, he stood up in his dress.

She didn't notice that after the eunuch Jia turned around, the smile on his face suddenly calmed down and he changed into a look of worry. Another Ewen came, which was not a good thing for him.

"I don't want to see her! Didn't I agree to let her live in Xuanning like her aunt-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As expected, before the eunuch Jia finished speaking, Ji Hu refused her visit without thinking when he heard the word "E" and the eunuch Jia glanced at Rong Yi who was beside him, with a little hesitant expression. Rong Yi advised him, "King, this woman is not only the daughter of E Hou Yufang, but also the granddaughter of Zhou Gong. Besides, it is also a common practice to visit the king when the palace concubine entered the palace. No matter what, it is better to meet each other and set a single position."

"State? What position?" Ji Hu heard this, his stubborn temper even more and ignored everything: "I haven't married yet, where does it come from? She wants to be ranked first.

, After the orphan wedding, let the queen confer her a title! No see!"

The eunuch Jia retreated, Rong Yi pursed his lips and whispered, "Master, is this not good? Even if you don't look at E Yufang, don't hurt Zhou Gong's decentness too much. Even if the king doesn't like E, he can't leave any matters of face!"

"Is that old man?" Ji Hu waved his sleeves and said impatiently: "It's okay if you don't mention him. The daughter of E Yufang and the grandson of Duke Ding of Zhou. These two are both lonely and disliked. Gu really doesn't want to see this E family, so he just pretends that there is no such person in the palace. By the way, where did you just say? Didn't you say that you have the art of checking and balancing the E Kingdom without fighting? Gu was trying to listen carefully."

"King," Rong Yi said seriously: "I think that relying on marriage with women alone cannot suppress E Yufang's ambition for a long time. The fundamental way is to block the key points of the people's livelihood and force him to submit to the point of submission to eliminate his ambitions of being unjust."

"But how to hold back the key points of Hubei's people's livelihood?"

"Why do you think about it? The Kingdom of E is located in the Jianghan River and River. It has enough food, clothing and hemp, and it also guards the golden road of Suzao and Jin, and there is no shortage of copper materials. So, what do they lack?"

Ji Hu lowered his head and thought for a while, then slapped the table and said, "Salt! They lack salt."

"The King Bingxue is smart." Rong Yi bowed and praised sincerely.

"Sir, it's good. But today's salt industry comes from Qi in the East China Sea. Since the former king cooked the Marquis of Qi Ai, the relationship between the royal family and Qi was not as good as before." Ji Hu could only sigh for the mistakes of the former king.

"The thing is with people. My strategy is to take the marriage between Princess Boji and the new Duke of Qi as an opportunity to contact Qi and take the opportunity to explore the production and sales of sea salt in Qi. I can try to appoint disciples to monopolize the trade routes of sea salt in the country to E. Once successful, it will be like squeezing the throat of E. The soldiers who can defeat others without fighting are not allowed to fight."

"That's great." Ji Hu slapped excitedly and immediately looked at him: "Mr. I have no choice but to make it happen. Unfortunately, my Guanzhong halogen alkali production is too small, not enough for Haojing City. Otherwise, why should Mr. take this opportunity?"
