Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Although Du Ruhui was rescued by Li Gen ten years ago, he was out of danger.

However, as he got older, Du Ruhui's body was obviously getting worse year by year.

Therefore, Li Gen decided to hand over the steelmaking plant closest to Chang'an City, the Chencang Steelmaking Plant, to Du Ruhui's supervision, and to ask Du Gou and Du Lin to assist him.

The Taiyuan Steel Plant was handed over to Fang Xuanling to supervise, and the people who assisted were Fang Yizhi and his eldest son.

This belongs to the fact that the three of you are in battle together.

In Xiande Hall.

Li Gen began to carefully and conscientiously allocate the required personnel to the steelmaking plants in various places.

In the end, only the Lingnan land farthest from Chang'an City remained.

"Uncle, I think that you have cultivated your body and mind for many years, and it's time for you to exercise your muscles and bones."

Changsun Wuji was bitter, but Changsun Wuji couldn't say it yet.

Right now, all pigs know that the establishment of the Eight Great Steel Plants of the Tang Dynasty and the Daxing Railway by the prince today is a real move that benefits the country and the people.

As a relative of the emperor, if I don't support it, I can't justify it anywhere.

However, the prince actually sent himself to southern Fujian.

Obviously aimed at myself.

Southern Fujian is a barren land.

Since ancient times, it has been a place of exile.

Minnan Steelworks is the eight major steelworks farthest from Chang'an City.

Changsun Wuji seriously suspected that the prince's move was intended to kill someone with a knife.

Whether I can reach my destination safely is still unknown.

However, the situation is stronger than others, so it is better to agree now, and then it will not be too late to go to the empress and His Majesty to intercede.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji saluted respectfully.

"Sir, please follow His Highness's instructions."

"I am very honored to be able to contribute to the construction and development of Datang."

What Changsun Wuji said was that a pretty mother would open the door for pretty, so pretty.

Li Gen nodded with a smile and said.

"Uncle's journey is more than four thousand miles. If you take a horse-drawn carriage, it will take half a year."

"In view of this, this palace thought that the four cousins, eldest grandson Huan, eldest grandson Cong, eldest grandson Yan, and eldest grandson Wen, should accompany uncle."

"First, the four of them can take good care of uncle along the way, and second, the four of them can also take the opportunity to practice."

Li Gen had to admire Changsun Wuji's ability to create people and his ability to choose names.

Over the years, although Changsun Wuji was frustrated in the officialdom, having a son a year made the Changsun's mansion more and more prosperous.

Not counting daughters, just sons, plus the eldest Sun Chong, exactly a dozen, no more, no less, twelve whole.

And for these twelve sons, Changsun Wuji named them, all with the word "water" next to them.

Except for the eldest son, Sun Chong, and the seventh son, Sun Jing, who received two points of water, the other ten sons all received three points of water.

In Changsun Wuji's view, water can make money, which is why he has a special liking for the word "water".

Hearing Li Gen's words, Changsun Wuji felt more and more that the crown prince was really targeting him.

In the past, I tried my best to wear small shoes for him, but now the world has changed, and the small shoes are buckled on my head.

"Sir, please follow His Highness's instructions."

The eldest grandson Wuji had no choice but to take the order first and agree to come down.

As for His Majesty and the Empress, can you change his fate against the sky?

Changsun Wuji feels that there is still great hope.

His requirements were not high, as long as he changed places, even if it was Anton or Jiangcheng, it was far better than Lingnan.

What's more, we have to go to the south of Lingnan!

"Good, great good..."

"You support me so much, I will never treat you badly."

"My palace has already sent people to the residence of the ministers to deliver New Year's gifts."

"Is it Chinese New Year? You have been busy for a year, so you should spend time with your family and rest well."

"After the Shangyuan Festival, the supervisors of the eight major steelmaking plants will go to various places immediately."

"As for how to quickly establish a steelmaking plant and how to quickly smelt steel, I will naturally send first-class craftsmen to various steelmaking plants."

"There is one more thing, this palace needs to discuss with the ministers."

"Currently, there is no war in the Tang Dynasty, and the number of troops has increased rapidly in recent years. I asked the Minister of War, and the total number of troops in the Tang Dynasty has reached one million."

"In view of this, I believe that with the help of the soldiers, the construction of the railway will be much faster."

Although Li Gen kept talking, he kept talking about discussing.

In fact, there is no room for negotiation at all.

The eldest grandson Wuji discovered the most serious problem.

Above this court hall, it has become the crown prince's hall of speech.

Even if His Majesty presides over the meeting, there will be different voices every day.

This guy, the new Crown Prince Jian Guo, is even more majestic and domineering than His Majesty.

Changsun Wuji looked around the court hall and almost fainted in the toilet.

No wonder the others are all the fault of me, who pretended to be smart back then.

Today, those young men from the Zhuangyuan Academy have already held important positions.

Wei Shuyu, Fang Yiai, Du He, Li Deju, and Chai Lingwu all held high positions.

Right now, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi, Xue Rengui and others are also standing on the court.

Although they haven't confirmed their official positions yet, if you think about it with your toes, you can tell that these are all the cronies of the prince's cronies.

Look at those veterans, Prime Minister Ma Zhou, Cen Wenwen...

Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian County, Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia County...

There are also Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Qin Shubao who are eyeing up...

After the end of the calf, almost all the civil and military officials in the dynasty belonged to the prince.

Just when Changsun Wuji was feeling scared, Li Gen's voice sounded again.

"All the ministers are the ministers of the humerus in the construction and development of the Tang Dynasty."

"My palace is in charge of the government for the first time, and I hope that all the ministers will fully cooperate with this palace. As for the transfer of official positions, after the Shangyuan Festival, this palace will make a major adjustment."

"My lords, no matter what position you hold in the future, as long as you put your heart into it and make political achievements, I will definitely make good use of it."

"For those who don't want to make progress and do not do their jobs properly, in the eyes of this palace, they must not rub the sand. Those who should be dismissed will be dismissed, and those who should be dismissed will be dismissed. If there are violations of law and discipline, those who should be investigated according to law..."

When he said these words, Li Gen's face was full of sternness and solemnity.

It also lowered the temperature of Xiande Hall by a few points.

Changsun Wuji looked at his eldest son, Changsun Chong, and felt very bad.

If it doesn't work, I still have to take Chong'er away.

How could Changsun Wuji feel at ease if he left him in Chang'an City.

After finally surviving the court meeting, Changsun Wuji wanted to go to the Lizheng Hall.

Seeing that the prince was heading straight for the Lizheng Hall, Changsun Wuji knew that the prince was going to pay his respects to His Majesty and the Empress.

Changsun Wuji led Changsun Chong, and immediately went straight to the outside of the palace, and now he should go back to the mansion first.

It's never too late to come after lunch.

In the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun watched Xiao Sizi splashing ink with joy.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun never expected that Xiao Sizi could write so well in white style.

Imitating Li Shimin's handwriting is simply difficult to tell the authenticity.

Even Li Shimin himself can hardly tell the difference.

"Royal father, queen mother..."

"Sir, I will present a spring river flower moon night to my father and mother..."

"Okay, very good..."

Li Shimin nodded happily.

His face was full of paternal love.

Xiao Si picked up the pen and dipped in the ink, and began to write vigorously.

Although the quill pen has become popular at the moment, it is only more convenient to record when studying.

As for calligraphy, it still depends on the brush.

Li Gen stepped into the Lizheng Hall.

"Son, please greet Father Emperor and Queen Mother."

"Well, Gen'er, is everything going well in today's court meeting?"

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and asked.

"Returning to the father, everything is going well. My ministers proposed the Daxing Railway and the construction of eight major steelmaking plants, and all the ministers fully supported it."

"Good, great good..."

"It's hard for the officials not to support such a thing that benefits the country and the people."

"Gen'er, come, sit down and talk. Sizi's calligraphy has improved a lot, and you have contributed a lot."

"What the father said is true. The elder brother has been guiding the son's studies. If it weren't for this, the son would not be the top student in high school."

Speaking of the last imperial examination in Luntai City, Xiao Sizi's face was full of pride.

"Royal father, queen mother. Si son went back to write, and son knew that royal father and queen mother must have political affairs to discuss with elder brother."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, Xiao Si is really smart, just like Changle back then.

Unlike Changle, Sizi is never self-willed and coquettish.

This also made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun fall in love with this little princess even more.

Watching Xiao Sizi leave the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin looked at Li Gen with a smile, and said.

"Tell me, how to arrange for Xuanling and Keming?"

Li Shimin didn't mention Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji. Naturally, these two were too sensitive, and Li Shimin believed it.

How the two arranged, Li Gen will definitely tell.

"Returning to my father, Uncle Fang and Uncle Du were sent to Chen Cang and Taiyuan by my ministers respectively..."

"what……"

Li Shimin just picked up his teacup, and almost spit out a sip of tea.

Unexpectedly, Li Gen did not reserve the closest location to Chang'an City for his father-in-law Wei Zheng.

"Gen'er, where is Xuan Cheng going?"

Li Shimin finally couldn't wait any longer, and was eager to know the answer.

"Returning to the father, the father-in-law was sent to Handan by the minister..."

hiss!
Both Li Shimin and Empress Changsun felt something was wrong.

Wei Zheng went to Handan.

The remaining places are farther away from Chang'an City than the other.

Eldest brother and eldest grandson Wuji, the situation is quite bad.

"Uncle, I was sent to Lingnan by my son..."

Li Gen naturally knew who the father and the queen cared most about.

Rather than waiting to be questioned, it is better to speak up yourself first, which is more effective.

"Ah...Lingnan..."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both exclaimed in surprise.

Where is Lingnan?
O Exiled Lands!
As the saying goes, troublemakers come out of poor mountains and bad waters, even though Datang is now prosperous and prosperous.

However, the land of Lingnan is still a barren land.

"Gen'er, how could you send your uncle to Lingnan?"

Li Shimin was the first to ask the question, after all, the face of Guanyin's servant girl was very ugly.

"Father, son, also for the sake of uncle and four cousins..."

"What the hell? And four cousins?"

Li Shimin's eyes are round and round, just like this, your mother is already unhappy, and you add four other cousins ​​to your mother, this situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it.

"Royal father, queen mother..."

"My son, it's really for the sake of my uncle's family, that's why I entrust this fattest job to the eldest grandson's family."

"Oh... Gen'er, let's listen carefully."

Li Shimin realized the difference, because he was so big, and his expression was very serious when he spoke.

Empress Changsun also took a deep breath, wanting to hear the prince's explanation.

Anyway, Changsun Wuji is also her elder brother.

Both of their parents died since childhood, and they depended on each other for life.

When she was young, the scene of her elder brother coming to Chang'an City behind her back resurfaced in Empress Changsun's mind again.

At that time, her elder brother was her god, her only support, and also the spiritual pillar for her to survive.

Empress Changsun, how could she bear to see her elder brother, where to go to exile, not to mention, there are four nephews!
Li Gen took a deep breath, knowing what happened today, if he didn't make a big move, it would be difficult for his father and queen mother to feel at ease.

It was originally planned to mention the [-]-ton cruise ship after the Lantern Festival, but it seems that it has to be brought forward now.

"Royal father, queen mother..."

"My son, the real reason why I sent my uncle to take my four cousins ​​to Lingnan, I will let my son explain carefully."

"…………"

As soon as Li Gen opened his mouth, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun stared wide-eyed.

In the Lizheng Palace, it became a stage for Li Gen to give a speech alone.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are the most loyal listeners.

Li Gen spoke for half an hour, and the expressions of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also kept changing following Li Gen's words.

After waiting for Li Gen to finish his plan, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun all had their hearts pounding with excitement.

Sure enough, they didn't see the wrong person, and they didn't choose the wrong prince.

"Good, great good..."

"Gen'er, if you think about the eldest grandson's family in this way, the emperor and mother are relieved. After all, it is your mother's natal family."

"Back then, Chong'er, he didn't accompany you to the Western Regions. To be honest, he still regrets the wrong choice he made back then."

"Gen'er, you are now the prince of a country, and you have started to oversee the country's governance. Don't worry about the past..."

After hearing what his father said, Li Gen nodded with a smile and said.

"What the father said is true, my son, I have never had any grudges about what happened back then, everyone has the right to choose."

"If my minister's prediction is correct, uncle and cousin will come later. If uncle insists on bringing cousin there, father and queen may as well agree to come."

"Oh……"

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, could it be that Changsun Wuji and Chong'er will really come over?
"Royal father, queen mother..."

"My son, go to see Grandpa Huang, and then go back to the East Palace to check the studies of Ji Xiang, Ru Yi and Chang An."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun nodded with a smile and watched Li Gen leave the Lizheng Hall.

Li Shimin immediately discussed with Empress Changsun what Li Gen said just now.

"Come here, pass on Li Junxian."

Li Junxian came to the Lizheng Palace, and after Li Shimin gave some instructions, Li Junxian respectfully took the order and left.

Just when Li Junxian left the Lizheng Palace, it was only time for a cup of tea.

Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong appeared at the gate of Lizheng Hall with Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun smiled and shook their heads.

It was really guessed by the prince.

"Your Majesty, Empress Empress..."

"You have to be the master of the minister!"

The eldest grandson Wuji stepped into the Lizheng Palace with a look of frustration and panic all over his face.

"Brother, speak slowly if you have something to say, don't be nervous."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun agreed at the same time and spoke.

"Your Majesty, Empress, after the Lantern Festival, I will leave Chang'an City and go to the land of Lingnan. How can I not be nervous?"

The eldest grandson Wuji's voice was full of tears.
