Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1866 Hope Prince
Deworming is a troublesome thing, even when there are so many bugs that manpower can't do anything, it becomes a terrible thing.

Now that the pests are raging, this matter has become a little helpless.

The officials in the court didn't know what to do, and Li Shimin didn't know what to do either.

So after the ministers discussed this for a long time, they still couldn't come up with a better solution.

In desperation, he had no choice but to retreat.

The officials retreated one after another, and the princes did not stay in the palace too much.

This matter is troublesome, and none of them are willing to provoke it. If this is the case, it is naturally the best to leave as soon as possible.

However, when Li Ke was driving to the mansion in a carriage, he suddenly had an idea in his heart. This is a troublesome thing, and basically it cannot be done well. If this is the case, why should he Don't want to find a way to push this matter to Prince Li Chengqian?

As long as the crown prince Li Chengqian can't do this well, it will not be easy for the crown prince to accumulate prestige among the people and the court.

Of course, if it is done, the prince will definitely gain a lot, but can this matter be done?
He does not believe.

After having this idea, Li Ke immediately gave orders.

After retiring from the court, Li Shimin reviewed the memorials in the Imperial Study Room, but because of the pest infestation, he seemed a little absent-minded and a little distracted. Slowly, he couldn't even sit down anymore.

After walking back and forth in the imperial study for a few times, Li Shimin let out a long sigh, and then went directly to the harem.

In the harem, there have been a lot of concubines recently, all of whom were canonized by Li Shimin after being drafted into the palace.

In the past, Li Shimin used to go to Empress Changsun when he had something to do, because usually when there was a time, as long as he told Empress Changsun, Empress Changsun would think of something for him, or give him some advice.

He treated Empress Changsun as a confidant, as if as long as he went to Empress Changsun, he didn't have to worry about anything.

He was able to get peace of mind from Empress Changsun that he couldn't get from other women.

It's just that it's normal now, and Empress Changsun is no longer there.

Li Shimin subconsciously walked towards Empress Changsun's former palace, only halfway there when he suddenly realized that Empress Changsun had passed away. After sighing helplessly, Li Shimin turned and left.

Wandering aimlessly in the harem like this, Li Shimin came outside Gong Shisanniang's bedroom before he knew it. Thinking of Gong Shisanniang, Li Shimin suddenly felt a little relieved.

Because this woman who can dance swords, although she didn't deliberately flatter herself on weekdays, he could really feel the tenderness in her eyes, and that feeling was only felt when the eldest grandson queen was alive. have.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin went directly to Gong Shisanniang's bedroom.

When Li Shimin came, Gong Shisanniang was reading a book. She was favored by Li Shimin because of sword dancing. read a book.

If a woman reads more books, her temperament will naturally be different.

This is called having a poetic and bookish spirit in your stomach.

Seeing Li Shimin coming, Gong Shisanniang was a little surprised. She had already received Li Ke's order, but he felt that it might take a while for this order to be implemented, after all, Li Shimin didn't know when he would come.

But what she didn't expect was that Li Shimin appeared at this time. She felt that God must be helping her and Li Ke.

"Holy."

Although she was a little happy in her heart, Gong Shisanniang was very calm. After seeing Li Shimin, she just saluted. Li Shimin nodded. After sitting down, Gong Shisanniang poured Li Shimin a cup of tea.

Li Shimin took a sip and said, "My concubine, I want to watch the sword dance."

Although Gong Shisanniang was favored by Li Shimin for a relatively short time, relying on Li Ke's manipulation behind her back and her sword dancing skills, she quickly gained Li Shimin's favor and was directly made a concubine.

Compared with Wu Meiniang, who made a big splash in the royal ranch before, this is much smoother. Although Wu Meiniang is often favored by Li Shimin, until now, she is just a talented person.

Li Shimin wanted to watch the sword dance, but Gong Shisanniang would naturally not refuse. After nodding her head, she took out the sword and danced. Gong Shisanniang's dancing posture was graceful and beautiful. When Li Shimin first watched it, he was more attentive. It didn't take long for Li Shimin to fall into the pest problem again.

Because when he thinks that the people are still troubled by the pests, but he is enjoying himself with women here, he can't help but feel a sense of guilt in his heart, which makes him uneasy.

Li Shimin couldn't concentrate on watching, and didn't even know when Gong Shisanniang stopped.

"My lord..." Gong Shisanniang shouted.

Li Shimin froze for a moment, and then realized that Gong Shisanniang was looking at him.

"Why doesn't Aifei stop dancing?"

"My lord, the concubine has finished dancing."

Li Shimin snorted, and Gong Shisanniang said again: "Does the Holy Majesty have something on his mind, or why does he seem absent-minded?"

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment. He didn't really want to tell a woman in the harem about the court affairs, but seeing Gong Shisanniang's sincere eyes, he couldn't help but think of Empress Changsun.

After a while, he still told the story of the common people's crops being infested by insects.

"This matter is related to the harvest of the people and the stability of our Tang Dynasty. But now that the pests are infesting, no one in the court can solve this matter. This... really worries me."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Gong Shisanniang immediately said: "It is really a blessing for the people that the Holy Majesty is so considerate of the people. The Holy Majesty is a wise king through the ages, but why should the Majesty bother about many things, and think of ways by himself? For such a matter, it is enough to explain it, and if the Holy Majesty continues to explain it, someone will naturally find a way to solve it."

Hearing Gong Shisanniang's words, Li Shimin felt that it made sense, instead of worrying about it himself, it's better to arrange it.

"In Aifei's opinion, who should handle this matter?"

Gong Shisanniang smiled slightly, and said: "The concubine is not familiar with the people in the court, and I don't understand, but the concubine feels that since His Royal Highness is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he should have the strength to be alone. Now that I have discovered this Such a matter, His Royal Highness, should take over this task and share it with the Holy One."

Gong Shisanniang's words can be said to be watertight, Li Shimin thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "My concubine is right, since this is the case, then this time I have the right to take it as a test for the prince, come, tell me to go down!" , let the prince supervise the deworming."
