Chapter 825 Persuading the Crown Prince
After Li Chongjiu wiped out Ashina Momo, the grassland shook, and all the tribes in Mobei surrendered to Li Chongjiu one after another. Ashina Sheer, the younger brother of Ashina Momo, led Huihe and other Mobei Tiele tribes to return to Dazhao.

Mobei has been stable since then.

In October, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and locust plagues occurred, and the people in Guanzhong had almost no harvest. Li Shimin used the royal treasury to buy food and relieve the victims, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

Guanzhong was sweating profusely, but floods occurred in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, flooding more than ten counties.Jianghuai riots and bandits are everywhere, and the censor said that the disaster has spread to several counties. If no measures are taken, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou's generation may rise in Jianghuai again.

Li Chongjiu ordered Song Jingang to lead the army to suppress it. Within a month, the Jianghuai bandits were all over. At the same time, Zhao Guo transferred grain ships from Luoyang to Jianghuai for relief.

In the same month, all counties in Hebei had a bumper harvest.

In November, Li Chunfeng presented a new history book. After reading it, Li Chongjiu was overjoyed and changed it to the reform calendar. The reform calendar abolished the algorithm of 19 years and seven leaps, which is more accurate than the calculation of the Wuyin Yuan calendar issued by Li Tang.

Because the reform calendar is accurate, it does not delay the farming season. Therefore, the common people adopted it more. Not only the people of Zhao State, but also the people in Jingxiang and Hexi in Li Tang Dynasty used the reform calendar and replaced the revolution date with the revolution number.When Li Shimin heard of it, he ordered the people not to have the reform almanac, and those who kept it privately were ordered to be executed by the whole family.

If the common people of the Tang Dynasty called Xinxin the reign name instead of Zhenguan's reign name, they would all be punished.There are many complaints from the people.

In December, Li Chongjiu donated the reformed almanac to Silla and Baekje. The kings of the two countries were willing to adopt reform as the reign name and regard it as Zhengshuo, abolishing private reign names.

After five years of innovation, spring begins.

History has turned a new page.

Zhao Guoxin Palace Linshuo Palace was built, Li Chongjiu named Li Zhiwan's son King of England, and Yang Ehuang gave birth to a daughter for Li Chongjiu, who was named Jinyang Princess.

Li Chongjiu also bestowed marriage on Zhouzhou Heping and let them get married.The two lovers finally get married.

Li Chongjiu already has four princes and three princesses, with both children, all the ministers came up to express their congratulations.
In the same month, another minister urged Li Chongjiu to take one of the four sons as the crown prince, but Li Chongjiu kept the memorial and did not express his opinion.

All the ministers were very suspicious, but they dared not speak out.In the end, the ministers recommended Su Su to enter the palace to inquire about Li Chongjiu's intentions.Su Su is Li Hu's sworn brother, and among the officials of Zhao Guo, he is the most qualified to inquire.

The main hall of Linshuo Palace, Su Su stepped into the hall, and immediately heard a series of silver bell-like laughter, Su Su stopped to look, and saw Li Chongjiu's daughter Caiwei running around in the palace with her bare feet , followed by several maids chasing after him.

If it is said that the most favored in the palace, it is Li Chongjiu and Yang Ehuang's daughter Caiwei.As the queen's first daughter, Caiwei's background is different from others.

Poor families know the principle of raising children poorly and raising daughters rich, but when it comes to the emperor's family, it is another rule. As a prince, he may inherit the throne in the future, so he raised him strictly from childhood, such as the eldest son Li Ying and Li Chongjiu. If you have asked him about his homework, no matter how busy the government affairs are, he will still write to him and tell him the truth of studying and being a man.

But girls are different. The princess of Dazhao will marry in the future.Ever since Pingping married Zhouzhou, Li Chongjiu couldn't help thinking of Pingping, so he just thought of letting his daughter accompany him in the past few years, and it is enough to have a good relationship with him, and the discipline is not as strict as the prince.

What's more, Yang Ehuang didn't give birth to Li Chongjiu's son. Li Chongjiu always felt that he was ashamed of her, so he doted on Caiwei even more.

However, Li Chongjiu's behavior does not mean that Yang Ehuang let her be willful, but Caiwei is also very favored by Empress Xiao and Li Hu, so she is not afraid.But when Yang Ehuang is away for a while, Caiwei will also turn the palace upside down.

Caiwei trotted all the way, but she didn't recognize Su Su.Although Su Su has seen Caiwei several times, but children will not recognize people.

Seeing Su Su, Caiwei asked childishly, "Who are you?"Why trespassing on the palace, aren't you afraid of being punished? '

Su Su couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but the maid at the side recognized Su Su's second-rank official uniform, so she didn't dare to say anything when she saw it.

"Caiwei, don't be rude, don't pay your respects to Uncle Su!" '

Li Chongjiu came to the hall beside him.Seeing Li Chongjiu burst out laughing, Caiwei threw herself to Li Chongjiu's feet and pulled his dragon robe, and shook her head resolutely: "I don't want it!" '

Su Su saw that Li Chongjiu, as an emperor, had no temper at all by his daughter, she couldn't help but smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that His Majesty loves the princess very much. I am really pleased to see this. '

Li Chongjiu said: "You don't know that the Supreme Emperor loves Caiwei even more. Except when he meets the queen, he restrains himself a little, otherwise he won't make a fuss." '

Next, Li Chongjiu said to Caiwei: "Okay, I'm tired of dealing with business for a day today, so don't mess around here."I want to talk to your Uncle Su. '

Caiwei shook her head and said, "No, if Father is tired, let me praise you. If you praise you, you won't be tired." '

'Ok! '

'Father, Caiwei in your family looks so beautiful! '

After hearing Caiwei's words, Li Chongjiu and Su Su were stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

Su Su looked at Li Chongjiu's harmonious family, and couldn't help but feel happy for him.

Soon after Caiwei was taken away by the maid, Su Su said: "I remember that when I was in Qiqianzhai, the Supreme Emperor said that his Li family was all single-line, so you are the hope of the Li family."Now that your house is full of children, the veteran is also happy. '

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Su Qing, you must have come here on business, so don't go around in circles." '

"Your Majesty is holy," Su Su said, "this minister is entrusted by all the officials to advise His Majesty to establish a prince early, to set the country's plans, and to consolidate the foundation for the future." '

Li Chongjiu said: "If it is any other courtier, I will reprimand you if you ask me, but Su Qing is not an outsider. In this case, I will tell the truth. The eldest son Li Ying is young, and the other sons are still in their infancy. I don't want to establish a prince. It's too hasty, think about it for two years. '

Su Su said: "Your Majesty may not be in a hurry, but the servants below have no such idea. At present, the eldest son of the emperor is older, while the other sons are still young. Many ministers who hold the argument of Huayi think that His Majesty has someone with Hu clan blood." The heart of the eldest son of the emperor, so don't worry.However, the ministers in the court who supported the establishment of the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince believed that His Majesty's delay in making the eldest son of the emperor was intended to let other princes succeed him, so I am afraid that there will be conflicts among the ministers. '

Li Chongjiu held down the dragon chair and said, "I know what they are thinking, and I persuaded the prince to be established. They will have the merits of helping them in the future, so they all came forward to fight."And if you decide to reserve a position, there are some people who want to invest early and gain a position for themselves in the future, but unfortunately I am not as good as they wish. '

On the second day, news spread among the civil servants that Li Chongjiu had intended to establish a prince.All the ministers were full of energy after hearing this, and they went to the main hall to wait for Li Chongjiu's will during the court meeting.
