Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Jiancheng's power was much stronger than Li Shimin. Moreover, as the crown prince, he was legitimate, so most civil and military officials were more inclined to Li Jiancheng. Even though Li Shimin succeeded in seizing the throne later, some people were still very loyal to Li Jiancheng, especially when they knew that Li Chengdao and Li Yuanji were still alive, they made these people feel hope, and they accumulate strength openly or secretly, and ready to counterattack at any time.

However, as Li Shimin's throne became more and more stable, especially after destroying the Turks, even if Li Jiancheng was reborn, he would probably not be able to take back the throne. In addition, Li Chengdao and Li Yuanji were far away in the Americas and had never come back, which made many people give up. After all, not everyone has the courage to do it even though they knew it was impossible.

However, although most people gave up, there are still some loyalists of Li Jiancheng. Not only did they not give up, they united under the pressure of Li Shimin and took the initiative to find opportunities to contact Li Chengdao, who was far away in the Americas.

Among these loyalists of Li Jiancheng, three of them are Wei Ting, Wang Gui and Du Yan. They were originally Li Jiancheng's confidants, but in the seventh year of Wude, because Li Jiancheng was disguised by Li Shimin, the incident of Yang Wengan secretly recruiting troops was exposed. As a result, Li Yuan was very angry, but he couldn't bear to punish Li Jiancheng, so he sent Li Jiancheng's confidant, namely Wei Ting and the other three to Zhuzhou, which was equivalent to the Jinsha River area of ​​Sichuan in later generations.

Originally, Wei Ting and the other two had been accepted on behalf of Li Jiancheng, but they were all loyal to Li Jiancheng. Moreover, Li Shimin retaliated against Li Jiancheng, which led to their exile. Therefore, the three of them were even more angry with Li Shimin. However, it was precisely because they were exiled that they escaped the murder of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Otherwise, in their identity, they would definitely be Li Shimin's first target for elimination.

In the original history, after Li Jiancheng's death, Wei Ting and the other two were quickly recalled to Chang'an by Li Shimin. In addition, Li Chengdao, Li Yuanji and others in history also died, which made Wei Ting and the other two give up and could only obey Li Shimin's arrangements.

However, history has been changed by Li Xiu, and Li Chengdao and others are still alive, which makes Wei Ting and others all have hope. They actually rejected Li Shimin's recruitment. The three of them even resigned from their original positions and then joined forces to settle down in the southern coastal areas. However, Du Yan, the three of them, is old and died of illness a few years ago. Speaking of which, he is Du Ruhui's uncle, but both sides are their own masters and their relationship is not very good.

However, although Du Yan passed away, Wei Ting and Wang Gui were still alive, especially Wei Ting. He and Li Jiancheng grew up together. When Li Chengdao saw him, he was called his uncle, and he did not disappoint Li Jiancheng's trust. After settling down in the southern coastal area, he actually started a maritime business like Zhang Shiyi. Not only did he have a fleet, but he also had several large shipbuilding workshops.

Wei Ting and Wang Gui were able to become Li Jiancheng's confidants, and their talents were naturally very outstanding. In addition, many officials and gentry were very sympathetic to Li Jiancheng and took care of Wei Ting and Wang Gui both openly and secretly, which also made Wei Ting and Wang Gui's business in the south very much. They even deliberately developed overseas and looked for opportunities to contact Li Chengdao.

In this case, Li Chengdao's ship returned with the fleet of the bearded passengers last year, which also allowed Wei Ting and Wang Gui to finally find an opportunity to join Li Chengdao. They also wrote a letter to Li Chengdao, which also revealed their idea of ​​going to the Americas to help Li Chengdao.

After receiving the letter from Wei Ting and Wang Gui, Li Chengdao was also very excited. Especially after Li Yuanji learned about this, he even clamored to come to the Tang Dynasty to see them. After all, what they lack most in America is various talents, and administrative talents like Wei Ting and Wang Gui are even short of them. What's more, Wei Ting and Wang Gui still have considerable power, such as their fleets and their shipbuilding workshops, are all urgently needed forces in the Americas.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that after careful consideration, Li Chengdao finally decided to come back in person. Originally, Li Yuanji wanted to come for him, but Li Chengdao considered that Li Yuanji was very popular and was afraid that he would cause trouble in the Tang Dynasty and thus exposed his identity, so he decided to go there in person.

"That's how it is. When I was in Quanzhou some time ago, I had already joined forces with Uncle Wei and others. I had already made an appointment to go to Liuqiu to discuss with Uncle Wei in detail, but I didn't expect to receive the news from my husband, so I came to see him first!" Li Chengdao concluded at the end.

After hearing this, Li Xiu remained silent. He had heard about Wei Ting and Wang Gui, but he didn't know much. After all, there were too many people who depended on Li Jiancheng at the time, and he could also be called a confidant. Not to mention anything else, Wei Zheng alone was much more famous than the three of them, so he only knew that Wei Ting and the others refused Li Shimin's recruitment. As for the later visit to the south, he was not aware of it.

"Are Wei Ting and Wang Gui trustworthy?" After a while, Li Xiu suddenly looked up and asked Li Chengdao. It was not a big deal for Li Xiu to be too careful. After all, this matter is of great importance. If Wei Ting and Wang Gui are unreliable, or even betray Li Chengdao, he may not have thought of returning to America.

"Don't worry, sir, I have considered the first floor in advance, so when I asked them to meet, I arranged for Liuqiu. It did not belong to the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, my adopted father built several data bases there before, but now they are all accepted by my righteous brother, so I am absolutely safe there!"

When talking about this, Li Chengdao paused for a moment and then explained: "In addition, I have done some investigations about Uncle Wei and Wang Gui and the others in advance, and I have some understanding of their current situation, so I think they are still very credible. In addition, they also have talents I urgently need, so I think this is a risk worth taking it!"

After hearing Li Chengdao say this, Li Xiu felt a little relieved. Li Chengdao has been very smart since he was a child. Since he even felt that he could trust Wei Ting and Wang Gui, there should be no problem, not to mention that he had even thought about a way out. Even if Wei Ting and the other two were really not good for Li Chengdao, they would probably not cause any big waves in Liu Qiu.

Of course, it would be best if Li Chengdao could recruit Wei Ting and Wang Gui in the past. He was very short of people in the Americas, and Wei Ting and the others should be able to bring a group of people. Li Xiu naturally also supports this. After all, he also hoped that Li Chengdao would live a better life in the Americas. As for whether Li Chengdao would counterattack the Tang Dynasty when he became stronger in the future, Li Xiu was not worried at all, because the distance between the two sides was too far. As long as Li Chengdao did not have any problems with his mind, he would not do such a thankless thing.

But at this moment, Li Chengdao suddenly showed a very entangled expression. After a while, hesitated: "Sir, I want to meet Qi Niang!" (.)
