Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 240 Li Shimin is working hard
Yes, Li Shimin really didn't want Li Tai to go back to Youzhou, or rather, he didn't want Li Tai to go anywhere.

Because Li Tai's internal affairs ability is a little too high, Li Tai was only thrown in Youzhou for two or three years, and the big and small families in Youzhou have not been dealt with by Li Tai, and they have already been subdued. Taxes are increasing day by day.

What's more important is that Li Tai turned military use into civilian use, and even the common people who farmed can cultivate the talent of the war department.

Li Shimin felt that as long as Li Tai was allowed to stay somewhere, it was not a question of whether Li Tai wanted to rebel, but with his ability, he would naturally have the capital to rebel.

Although Li Shimin is not still afraid of Li Tai's rebellion, after all, he has cleaned up the country and unified China, and he has never seen such a scene.

But I need to think about Li Chengqian, the master is weak and the minister is strong, and the brothers are against the wall, this is definitely not what I want to see.

At the same time, Li Tai is not a military general with high achievements, nor is he a vassal king who makes him worry, but a child born to him and Guanyin's maidservant. child.

To a certain extent, Empress Changsun felt somewhat guilty towards Li Tai, and Li Shimin was not like that.

This time, picking the fruit that Li Tai cultivated for five years, more or less needs an explanation after all.

So Li Shimin may have made Li Tai a wish, but he didn't expect that Li Tai didn't want this wish, but went directly back to Youzhou fiefdom, which made Li Shimin also very headache.

Because Li Tai is going back to Youzhou this time, he has no reason to let him stay!

When Li Tai returned to the Zhengli Palace, he was about to say goodbye to Empress Changsun.

After all, if he planned to follow the orthodox path of King Yan, there would be no point in staying in Chang'an, so Li Tai came here directly after he came out of Liangyi Hall.

"Qingque, you, Aye, didn't agree with your words?" Empress Changsun watched Li Tai go away in high spirits, and returned with great disappointment, and immediately guessed that Li Tai had not achieved her goal.

"Yes, mother!" Li Tailue said to the eldest grandson empress with a bit of disappointment, "Tai'er is going to say goodbye to you, mother."

"Farewell?!" Empress Changsun stood up in surprise when she heard this, and said, "Why is this?!"

Li Tai said: "Qingque has already handed over the seed plan to Aye, and I have written down my experience and experience clearly, I believe my brother will be able to handle this matter well.

At the same time, Qingque also proposed to Aye a plan to conquer Tuyuhun with the army, but Aye also denied it.

Then Qing Que has no reason to stay in Chang'an, and Qing Que, as a vassal king, is not convenient to stay in Chang'an for a long time.

So today I will ask my mother to resign and go back to the fief as soon as possible! "

Empress Changsun didn't expect that Li Tai would leave as soon as she said it, but compared to Li Tai going to the battlefield with the army, Li Tai's going back to the fief was more acceptable to Empress Changsun.

"Since you have made a decision, then mother will not force it, but returning to Youzhou is not a short-term matter.

These days, you come to Zhengli Palace to get together with your mother! "Empress Changsun said to Li Tai.

"Mother, don't worry, Qingque will naturally know!" Li Tai said with a smile, "Then Qingque will come again tomorrow."

Li Tai saluted Empress Changsun, but made up his mind and prepared to leave.

Li Tai estimated in his heart that his departure this time represented a shift in his development focus.

Some of the industries that I left in Guanzhong for the seed project should be moved to Youzhou by the way this time.

So naturally agreed.

Seeing Li Tai leave, Empress Changsun said to her side, "When the saint returns to the palace, notify the saint as soon as possible, saying that I have something to look for him."

The people around responded, but Empress Changsun frowned as she watched Li Tai leave.

Because she could feel that Li Tai was really disheartened, she went back to Youzhou.

In the eyes of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin did a little too much this time.

Empress Changsun didn't agree with Li Tai's going to Longyou to participate in the war to make herself nervous, so it was a good thing for Li Shimin to reject Li Tai.

But Li Shimin took Li Tai's hard work for many years, and in the end he didn't compensate Li Tai for anything, which is wrong.

Now that Li Tai is going back to Youzhou, he needs to give Li Tai some more money. Even though Li Tai himself is not short of money, and it is even rumored that he has the ability to create something out of nothing, in the eyes of Empress Changsun, Li Tai is still the one who lacked funds back then. son.

After noon, Li Shimin went back to the palace to take a nap, and when he got back to the palace, he heard from the servant that Empress Changsun was looking for him.

Li Shimin didn't have any delay, and went directly to Empress Changsun's bedroom, and said, "Guanyin maidservant, do you need me?"

Li Shimin came to lie down on the couch as usual, and Empress Changsun also skillfully came over to knead Li Shimin.

Empress Changsun said in a somewhat resentful tone, "Saint, Qingque is going back to Youzhou, and she just asked me to resign today."

"Qingque came to tell you that he was going back to Youzhou?" Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Li Tai moved so fast. He planned to return to Youzhou as soon as he came out of Liangyi Hall. Did he need to move so fast? !

"He was originally the King of Yan, and he thought he would carry out the "Seed Project" proposed by himself, so he came to Chang'an full of joy.

In the end, you asked him to give the errand to Chengqian, just give it, but there was no compensation at all, which made Qingque feel so disappointed! "

Empress Changsun said to Li Shimin with a bit of complaint, which made Li Shimin a little silent.

When Empress Changsun said this, tears welled up in her eyes, but she said:

"Qing Que has suffered a lot since she was a child. Back then, you said that in order to stabilize the court, you let Qing Que, who had joked about children, open the house.

Qing Que managed to make some achievements, and because of your future crusade against Goguryeo, she took the initiative to go to the bitter cold land of Youzhou to be the governor.

Then you think that Khan will be the emperor through the ages that day, and Qingque proposes the "Seed Project" to be more labor-intensive, but you just take it away.

If you changed to an ordinary courtier, you would do this, and you would be your son, and you would work hard without complaining!
Now that I am bullied, I can only go back to my fief, which really makes me feel bad! "

"Okay, okay, my fault, my fault!" Li Shimin smiled wryly when he heard Empress Changsun's complaint, Li Shimin sighed,

"I really didn't expect Qingque to be so capable in doing things, so she immediately planned to go back to Youzhou."

"Qing Que looks lazy, but when it comes to doing things, it's not always like this!
And now that he is out of the "Seed Project" errand, it is only natural for him to directly propose to return to Youzhou. He abides by the prince's duty, so how can he offend you! "

Empress Changsun wiped her face and said, "I won't participate in state affairs, but second brother, you can't catch Qingque and bully you!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard Empress Changsun's complaint. He really wanted to see if Li Tai was advancing by retreating.

But he didn't expect that when Li Tai came back from his Liangyi Hall, he would directly ask Empress Changsun to resign. Even looking at this state, Li Tai had already decided to go back to Youzhou. This is really honest, honest Make yourself helpless.

After all, Li Shimin didn't want Li Tai to go back to Youzhou.

If Li Tai returns to Youzhou, in a few years, whether Li Tai is willing or not, Youzhou will probably be like an iron bucket run by Li Tai.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin also had a headache!

"I know!" Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun, "I will definitely not let Qingque suffer!"

"Yes!" Empress Changsun nodded quickly when she heard Li Shimin's assurance,
"When Qingque returns to Youzhou, you will reward Qingque with more money, so that Qingque can live a better life in Youzhou."

"Qingque will be short of money!?" Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Empress Changsun's words.

"It's Qingque's business how much money the bird has, but it's our intention to bestow money on the bird!" Empress Changsun said.

"Okay, okay, I'm sure I won't treat Qingque badly!" Li Shimin felt a little relieved when he heard Empress Changsun's words.

Because Empress Changsun just complained to Qingque when she saw Qingque return to Youzhou because she felt sorry for Qingque, she didn't want to participate in the party struggle or support Li Tai to lead the army, which made Li Shimin feel relieved.

It's just that after coming out of the empress, Li Shimin understood that since Li Tai had already told Empress Changsun about going back to Youzhou, then this matter could not be faked.

Li Tai really wanted to leave Chang'an, and it was reasonable.

But this matter, in the eyes of outsiders, I am afraid that he took the "Seed Project" from Li Tai first, and then drove Li Tai out of Chang'an. How could he be such a ruthless emperor.

In addition, I don't want Li Tai to go back to the place, so I have to find a way to make Qingque stay.

When Li Shimin thought of this, he immediately sent someone to find Fang Xuanling. He was needed as a staff member in this matter.

More importantly, I am the emperor, I don't need face, I must have someone give me a step down!
Soon, Li Shimin brought Fang Xuanling over, and explained everything from Cen Wenwen to Youzhou, and now Li Tai was leaving Chang'an to return to Youzhou.

Then he said to Fang Xuanling, "You can think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so that Qingque will not go back to Youzhou."

Fang Xuanling listened to Party A's unreasonable demands, so he could only bow his head and say,

"Saint, let King Yan and Li Pushe go to attack Tuyuhun, just let King Yan be a grain supervisor in the rear!"

"...Is this the only way?" Li Shimin's expression was a bit ugly when he heard Fang Xuanling's words, but he said,

"Didn't the Grass Seed Project have two directions at the beginning, why not let Chengqian take charge of one direction and Qingque take charge of the other?"

"Saint, if King Yan is involved in this matter, the taste will change.

Not to mention that the power of the imperial court will inevitably be divided, and more importantly, if the two sides are compared, no matter who is good and who is bad, it will cause the crown prince and King Yan to have a rift! "

Fang Xuanling almost couldn't help rolling his eyes, I really don't know how a wise saint would have such a stupid idea.

If both Li Tai and the prince carried out this plan, not to mention those who benefited from Li Tai at the beginning would definitely be more willing to invest in Li Tai.

After all, the prince didn't have much experience in governing, but Li Tai actually built Zheng Baiqu to feed the big and small families.

More importantly, if there is no comparison between the two, as long as the prince does as planned and carries out the whole plan, then naturally there will be no problem.

But if there is a comparison between the two, as long as the prince's performance is worse than Li Tai's, it will be a disgrace to the prince.

So as long as they are people with normal IQ, they will not let these two guys compete on the same stage, not afraid of [-], just in case.

Why did the sage feel like he was expected to become the emperor after going through the Xuanwu Gate? It was not because Li Jiancheng was so far behind the sage, the person who put down the world.

"But I have already rejected Qingque's conquest of Tuyuhun with the army!" Li Shimin said looking at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and looked at her. It was obvious that Li Shimin needed a step up at this time.
But there are not many people who can give Li Shimin a step. One is himself and the other is Li Jing. If he wants to hand over this matter to Li Jing, Li Jing may suffer from foot problems the next day, and Li Shimin may be asked to change coaches.

But if it were her own words, I was afraid that the crown prince would rise to the throne in the future, and I would feel more or less a pimple in my heart.

But what can I do, who made Li Shimin the saint I chose!

"As the saying goes, oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges born in Huaibei are oranges. The sage wants to implement the "Seed Project" in a foreign race, and the minister recommends King Yan to follow the army to observe the folk customs of Hexi, so as to facilitate the promotion of the method of farming and animal husbandry to other races in the future! "Fang Xuanling said solemnly.

"Xuan Ling is mature and prudent, sincere and sincere, I understand your advice!"

Li Shimin nodded and said to Fang Xuanling,
"I will let Qingque lead the army alone. After the army, one will supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and the other will appease the people of other races."

Li Shimin knew very well that even if Li Tai was allowed to go with the army, it was absolutely impossible for Li Tai to go to the front line.

One thing Li Tai went to the front to defeat the battle, and both himself and the Guanyin servant were worried about Li Tai's safety.

Second, if Li Tai wins the battle, although he won't worry anymore, he will have a headache.

Therefore, let Li Tai follow behind to appease the people of other races.

As for the fight, it had nothing to do with Li Tai, and it was all left to Li Jing to handle.

"Xuanling, you have worked hard, go to Yanwang Mansion yourself!" Li Shimin pressed his head and said, "Tell Qing Que that it was you who urged him to go to Tuyuhun."

"I understand!" Fang Xuanling couldn't laugh or cry when she heard Li Shimin's words, but she also nodded in agreement.

To be honest, Fang Xuanling also knew that the prince would definitely remember these things down more or less.

But the problem is that I am more than ten years older than Li Shimin, so I may not be able to walk behind Li Shimin in the future.

So even though he was somewhat apprehensive, he didn't care, at least this was the most appropriate way to deal with it under the current circumstances.

After all, it is impossible for Li Shimin to kill Li Tai. If other princes are replaced, they will be imprisoned for the sake of the prince.

But the words of King Yan... Who told him to be the child of Empress Changsun!
Regardless of whether King Yan is capable or not, at least the sage will not allow anyone to use irregular means to deal with Li Tai.
