Huo Guang looked at Liu Tan and said, "Princess Dangli."

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "She?"

But before Huo Guang could explain, he slammed the table and said, "Great!"

Princess Dangli was powerful, influential and favored. As the eldest daughter of Emperor Wu of Han, if she were a man, Liu Ju would probably have no chance of becoming the crown prince.

Apart from anything else, just looking at her fiefdom, one can tell that she is very favored among her brothers and sisters - Dangli produces salt, and it is really rich.

As the emperor's daughter, she was directly promoted to the title of Princess Eldest, an honor that no princess before her had ever had.

As a princess, her influence on government affairs was almost zero.

Although there were some famous Han princesses like Princess Guantao and Princess Yangxin, they were still a little inferior to the Tang Dynasty princesses who could even buy and sell official titles.

In essence, the princesses of the Han Dynasty could only maintain their status by sending women to their brothers who were emperors.

An imperial daughter like Princess Dangli costs a lot of money, so it is basically impossible to get her into the court. Perhaps she was recommended to Liu Che through their channels.

But generally such people are just favored ministers. Liu Che is very clear-headed in this regard. Nepotism itself means that the person has ulterior motives.

I have to say, this candidate is really good.

In fact, Liu Tan had thought about asking Princess Yangxin to come forward, but Princess Yangxin had been married three times and her interpersonal relationships were too complicated.

Although Princess Dangli was married twice, the second time... she was completely deceived by Emperor Wu of Han, so Emperor Wu of Han still felt very guilty towards his daughter. But now Princess Dangli is a widow and has no constraints from her husband's family, so she is much more suitable than Princess Yangxin.

Liu Tan looked up at Huo Guang and said with a smile, "You must have a solution. I'll go talk to her later."

Huo Guang hesitated a little: "You and Princess Dangli are not close, will it be..."

Liu Tan looked at him strangely. "She's still my sister, whether we're close or not. What's wrong with me going to see her? Besides, we're not close for reasons of age and other reasons. It's okay to get close now."

Liu Tan has no psychological burden about this.

Huo Guang calmed himself down and said, "I am just worried that some people will think you are taking advantage of the princess."

Liu Tan shook his head: "Don't worry about it, just assume that Princess Li doesn't think so."

Apart from Princess Dangli, there were also the ideas of Liu Che and Liu Ju.

There is no need to mention Liu Che. There is no father who does not want his children to be close to each other. It’s just that Liu Che did not ask much of his children and did not force them to be as close as a family.

Liu Ju would not object, and if necessary, Liu Tan could even let Liu Ju act as a lobbyist.

It’s just that... it seems a bit inappropriate to let the prince do such a thing.

Liu Tan immediately asked someone to prepare gifts for Princess Dangli.

Originally, he wanted to give the other princesses a few small pieces of evil gold raw stones. Oh, this raw stone is not the kind that has been mined, of course it has been processed.

Now that he wants to cooperate with Princess Dangli, of course he has to let Princess Dangli see that there is profit in it.

If she couldn't make money, why would Princess Dangli get involved in this mess?

However, he had just given Princess Yangxin only a gold hairpin, and it would not be appropriate to give Princess Dangli a bigger and better one now. After thinking about it, he simply asked someone to take out the previously polished beads and had someone put on a bracelet.

Each of these beads is not as big as the one given to Princess Yangxin, but the value of this bracelet lies in the fact that it is a gradient color that basically goes from pink to bright red without interruption, and then from bright red to pink.

The entire color transition is very comfortable. As for why it is like this, it is because beads of the same color are even harder to find. Among so many mined, only Chen Ajiao has that one string.

Of course Princess Li’s can’t be better than Chen Ajiao’s, so this is very appropriate.

As a single gem, its value is not as great as that of Princess Yangxin, but if you add them all together, they are almost on par with the big one.

He didn't care what Princess Yangxin would think, as long as he could save face. After all, Princess Yangxin still relied on him to take Wei Deng with her.

After Liu Tan had his men prepared, he decided to go to Princess Dangli's residence to pay a visit. Huo Guang quickly stopped him, feeling helpless about his impulsive nature. He said, "At least send someone to deliver a visiting card first."

Do you think Princess Dangli's residence is your home? You can go there whenever you want?

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment and scratched his head: "Oh, I'm used to it."

He was used to going to the Prince's Palace. When he first came here, he would carefully ask someone to send an invitation, but later he just went there whenever he wanted, and was very arrogant.

It can be said that except for the Weiyang Palace, which he was not allowed to go to casually, and the harem, which he would not go to, he could basically go to other places in the entire palace whenever he wanted, including the Crown Prince's Palace and the Pepper Palace, and he did not tell anyone in advance.

Huo Guang watched as Liu Tan wrote a personal letter and sent it over. Then he said, "Besides this, there is another very important point. What benefits can Princess Dangli gain from this?"

Liu Tan said nonchalantly, "Just give her a share, just like I gave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a share before."

Huo Guang asked, "What's the appropriate amount?"

Liu Tan smiled cunningly and said, "Twenty percent of her income."

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment: "Twenty percent? That's not too little?"

Liu Tan said, "But I don't need her to do anything. If she pays those people a monthly salary, I'll give her 30%, which is quite a lot."

Huo Guang quickly figured out Liu Tan's intention and said with a smile, "You want Princess Dangli to spread the word for you."

The more money you earn, the more share you get, so if Princess Dangli wants to make money, she must open up this market.

The market for honeycomb coal is actually still very small now. Nobles will always be a minority, not to mention that not all nobles want to buy it.

Liu Tan chuckled and said, "Princess Dangli is not short of money, but she must be short of something else."

Huo Guang was stunned: "What?"

"Attention." Liu Tan said this without further explanation.

When Huo Guang proposed to cooperate with Princess Dangli, Liu Tan never thought of using money to impress the other party.

Think about it, it was Princess Dangli's fiefdom. Later, when Luan Da got into trouble and was beheaded, Luan Da's fiefdom was given to Princess Dangli by Emperor Liu Che. How could she be short of money?

It's too difficult to win her heart with money, why should people waste their energy?

If you want to impress Princess Dangli, you have to make her believe that with this thing, she can return to the public eye.

Of course, these are just Liu Tan’s guesses now, and the specific details can only be determined after meeting Princess Dangli.

Liu Tan looked at Huo Guang, who seemed to be lost in thought, and said, "Don't worry. If all else fails, we can always ask the Crown Prince for help."

Huo Guang: ...

After all, he and the prince were quite close, and he didn't dare to ask the prince to clean up the mess for him so casually. Their prince was really... Never mind, maybe the prince would be very happy.

Princess Dangli was obviously a little surprised after receiving the visiting card. Ever since Luan Da was beheaded, although outsiders did not dare to discuss it much in front of her, Princess Dangli still felt as if she had become the laughing stock of Chang'an.

Even if the mistake was made by her father, everyone would only think that Luan Da deceived the emperor, and that she had married a liar.

So from that time on, Princess Dangli began to live in seclusion, and she would only go to see her father and her mother.

But Liu Che felt very guilty when he saw her, and Wei Zifu felt heartbroken when she saw her.

But Princess Dangli doesn't need all this. She doesn't need guilt or heartache. She just hopes that everyone will stop mentioning this matter and let it be slowly forgotten.

But every time she appeared in a formal occasion, people looked at her with pity.

Princess Dangli has been proud since she was a child. How could she tolerate this?

He simply stayed indoors under the pretext of recuperating and refused to receive visitors.

After so many years, few people remember the proud Princess Dangli who was as proud as a phoenix. They only remember her failed marriage.

Originally, Princess Dangli didn't want to see Liu Tan, but after thinking for a while, she wrote a letter back to Liu Tan.

Not only for herself, but also for Liu Ju, she had to meet Liu Tan.

Everyone said that the Crown Prince and the King of the North had a good relationship, but Princess Dangli always had some doubts.

Liu Tan's identity has always been a thorn in her heart, so let her see if this King of the North is really as kind and gentle as the legend says.

After receiving the reply letter, Liu Tan read it carefully. Princess Li didn't write much, but he read it for a long time.

At that time, Huo Guang was calculating the cost and profit of honeycomb coal, to see whether giving 30% to Princess Dangli was too much.

In fact, these should have been calculated by the people in Liu Tan's mansion, but... forget it, he has become accustomed to taking on multiple responsibilities.

After finishing the calculation, Huo Guang couldn't help but frown. He found that according to Liu Tan's price, even if it was only 20%, when it was sold to a certain level, the money would be quite a lot.

This time, Huo Guang was a little hesitant. Was it... a bit too much?

Huo Guang wanted to discuss it with Liu Tan, but when he looked up, he saw Liu Tan still reading the reply letter. He couldn't help but wonder, "What did Princess Dangli write that fascinated you so much?"

"Judging by her handwriting, Princess Dangli is more..."

Huo Guang couldn't help but prick up his ears and asked, "What more?"

"It's more aggressive."
