The atmosphere at the poetry meeting gradually became solemn.

The scholars were silent, afraid that they would be involved in this matter, so they immediately stood away from Pan Yu.

The King of Shu's face looked extremely ugly, but at this time there was nothing he could do.

"Pan Yu, what else do you have to say?" Zhu Yushu looked at Pan Yu with a sneer, and the whip in his hand was slamming.

Pan Yu looked at King Shu again, and saw that King Shu was still indifferent, he was secretly annoyed. If King Shu had not instructed him, even if he was angry with King Qi, how could he be so bold? If these hundred whips were hit, his life would have been gone.

He said anxiously: "It was the King of Shu who instructed me to do so much."

As soon as these words were said, everyone looked at King Shu. Xiao Ming sneered and practiced. There were not many scholars from Chang'an who were backbone. He knew this. As expected, after such a scare, Pan Yu immediately explained the mastermind behind the scenes.

Pan Yu was a little in this incident, and Xiao Ming just wanted to use this matter to deal with the King of Shu. This is the key point.

Although he has mobilized the people of Qingzhou to collect saltpeter, this is not a solution in the long run. After all, the amount of gunpowder he will need will only increase in the future.

Because not only did he have to produce gunpowder, he also had to sell gunpowder to other vassal kings. In this way, it was even more impossible to rely on this little saltpeter among the people.

This time, the King of Shu entered the capital, which must have something to do with the King of Shu behind the scenes.

Now that the King of Shu was caught by him again, he was able to complain to Xiao Wenxuan, let Xiao Wenxuan see the conflict between the King of Shu and him, and let him issue an order to strictly order the King of Shu not to obstruct the mining of this saltpeter.

"Bastard, you are slandering." The King of Shu was furious when he heard this, raised his foot and put it at Pan Yu.

Pan Yu snatched "Ouch" and lay on the ground like a rolling gourd.

Then the King of Shu walked over and punched Pan Yu, as if he wanted to spread the resentment he was receiving on Pan Yu.

"Enough!" Princess Pingyang's angry voice came, "King of Shu, you are brave enough to make trouble at the pictures in this palace's poetry meeting. Humph, this time I said I would not write a book in front of your father."

When the King of Shu heard this, his heart trembled. He was still very afraid of Xiao Wenxuan and said, "Aunt, this is the villain who interferes with this matter, and it has nothing to do with his nephew."

"Hmph, right and wrong, I have already understood it. You don't need to defend yourself. Now you leave this place and wait until the poetry meeting is over, and I will settle the score with you." Princess Pingyang said angrily.

"Yes, aunt." The King of Shu was even more angry, but he dared to have an unhappy quarrel with Princess Pingyang.

Turning around, King Shu walked out, and when he passed by Xiao Ming, King Shu almost squeezed out his words from his teeth and said, "Let's go and see."

Xiao Ming didn't look back and just spit on the ground.

"As for Pan Yu, how dare you cause trouble between princes, wouldn't it be that people look down on our royal family? Come and take Pan Yu out and whip it for a hundred times!" Princess Pingyang continued.

Pan Yu's face suddenly turned dead.

He handled the conflict at the poetry meeting vigorously and vigorously. At this time, Princess Pingyang said: "King of Qi, since you are the best in this poetry meeting, let's go to the lake with me. I have something to say to you."

Now, the farce of the poetry festival has ended. When other scholars heard this, they sighed and left one after another.

Zhu Yushu, Du Boyuan and Qin Rui were ecstatic. The three of them looked at Xiao Ming gratefully. This moment was in their hearts. Even after five years, Xiao Ming and the others still took care of their elder brother.

"Yes, aunt." Xiao Ming breathed a light sigh.

In fact, this time I have to win the poems in the technology library so hard, but the purpose is not to show off at the poetry meeting.

This is also idle, in order to see the appearance of his future wife, this is one of them.

But later on, he worked so hard all for Zhu Yushu and the other two.

In this barbarian battle, Xiao Ming only won a small battle to defend the city. The news brought by Wang Xuan later proved that Bei Shan was just using Xiao Ming's hands to attack the Huyantuo tribe who was loyal to the barbarian Dataiji Wushukou.

Of course, if the Huyantuo tribe can be destroyed and then captured Cangzhou City, this is Bei Shan’s perfect plan, but this plan cannot be fully realized, so he can only take the former and attack the Huyantuo tribe.

So after the Blood Wolf Guard only lost thousands of people, he ordered a retreat. If Bei Shan was determined to fight to the death, Xiao Ming's ammunition at that time would not be able to resist the barbarians entering Cangzhou. Only his own people knew the victory of this war best.

The most important thing is that this battle is a great honor to outsiders, but it greatly consumes the wealth and soldiers he has accumulated over the past period.

Even if the country is big, it will perish if it is wary, not to mention that he has a small land of six states. If there are a few more wars, he will have to drink the northwest wind again.

Based on this, at the Qingzhou meeting, he decided on the two development strategies of Qingzhou. The first is naturally to develop fiefdoms, industry and commerce. The second is to establish a friendly interest group for Qingzhou in Chang'an. These two are for only one purpose and capital accumulation.

In this way, he needed an interest group in the court to block the disasters and deal with various emergency situations in Qingzhou. Secondly, Chang'an was Xi'an in later generations. This place was the area with the richest coal resources and many open-pit coal mines. He now needed to reserve coal resources and prepare for the emergence of steam engines. After all, only local coal mines could not meet industrial needs at that time.

Article 3 is particularly important, which is related to the commodity market issue. If Chang'an does not have the support of interest groups, his business will inevitably be hindered layer by layer in this place of intrigue.

Economically speaking, exports are restrained, which will seriously hit local industries because no one will invest money in industrial projects.

This is also why the West wants to open trade ports even if it uses cannons. Everything is for capital. Even in modern times, trade surplus is also one of the root causes of disputes between major powers.

Therefore, this time he was trying to win over these three people, just like other vassal kings were doing, demarcating his own sphere of influence in Chang'an.

At this time, these three people were extremely important, and he had to visit a few more people later, so his real mission to Chang'an was completed.

In the future, he will maintain contacts with these people, consolidate and expand this interest group for his own use.

While thinking, the pearl curtain was opened and the scene opposite the pearl curtain was revealed.

Princess Pingyang sat in the middle, while Princess Xiangcheng sat in the lower head. There was a veiled woman opposite Princess Xiangcheng, who looked at him.
