In the palace, after Qin Feng left, Li Shimin had no intention of doing anything, and walked back and forth in the main hall to eliminate the irritability in his heart.

"Come on, bring me Chengqian!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guards were ordered to call the prince.

As soon as the guards left, Empress Changsun pushed open the door of the palace, walked in with a night of ginseng soup, saw Li Shimin with a frown, and said to Li Shimin.

"Erlang, what is it that makes it difficult for you?" Empress Eldest Sun put the ginseng soup on the table, stepped forward and sat down beside Li Shimin and rubbed Li Shimin's brows.

"Guanyin, you're here!" Li Shimin said to the eldest grandson.

"The concubine heard Gonggong Li say, Qin Feng's kid came just now, every time he comes, you are sad when he leaves, what is it that makes you like this this time? It seems that the concubine can't let this kid come to the palace next time! Empress Changsun said to Li Shimin.

"Not what you think! I'll come over later, and I'll talk to you about it! Li Shimin pulled Empress Changsun to sit beside him.

"The concubines don't participate in political affairs, Erlang, you drink the ginseng soup first, and the concubines will leave when Cheng Qian comes over in a while!" Empress Changsun took the ginseng soup from the table and handed it to Li Shimin.

"This matter is not to be managed, just sit down and listen, there are still things I want you to do!" Li Shimin took the ginseng soup and said, Empress Changsun.

"And the matter of concubines?" Empress Eldest Sun was a little surprised, she didn't know what was going on, how could she still have her own business. However, Li Shimin said that Li Chengqian would come in a while, and he said it together, so he didn't say much, and waited for Li Shimin to drink the soup.

Half a moment passed, Li Shimin finished drinking the ginseng soup, and Li Chengqian also arrived.

"The sons see the father and the emperor, and the queen mother!" Li Chengqian, who entered the hall, saluted.

"Sit!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"Thank you, Father!" After Li Chengqian sat down, he asked Li Shimin, "I don't know what happened to my father and emperor summoning children late at night?" ”

"Cheng Qian, what do you think of Qin Feng's son?" Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian.

When Li Chengqian heard this question, he was immediately a little stunned, isn't Qin Feng now locked up in Dali Temple. Why did Li Shimin ask such a question.

"Back to his father, Qin Feng has great talents, from Quyuan plough to printing, it can be seen that this son is extraordinary, if he loses, it is the loss of Datang. Moreover, Qin Feng attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and has no desire to fight for power and profit. ”

"Then Qin Feng went out to collect more than 100,000 catties of grain, and you knew about this before?" Li Shimin asked.

"This retainer doesn't know, but he also knows about it in the past two days!" Li Chengqian secretly said that it was bad, and when Empress Changsun heard Li Shimin say this, she also wondered if these hundreds of thousands of catties of grain had angered Li Shimin. Qin Feng is not a grain merchant, and he has settled a grain merchant of more than 100,000 catties in Qinzhuang, which is near Chang'an, which makes Li Shimin, who is in Chang'an, sleep so well.

"I'm not looking for you to ask for guilt, I just don't know, Qin Feng just came here and told me something! I also recommended you, I thought about it, this matter is indeed the most suitable for you to go. Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"I don't know what it is?" Li Chengqian asked suspiciously.

"Harvest the grain!" Li Shimin stood up and said, "Just now Qin Feng and I said that it is estimated that there will be a locust plague in Chang'an in the next two years. That's why he collected and stored grain in advance to meet unexpected needs! ”

"What? Locusts? Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian said at the same time, shocked!

"Yes, I summoned Qin Feng here today to ask about Qin Feng's purpose of collecting grain. This kid had no choice but to tell me the truth, saying that he had learned from his master what was a natural subject, and told me a lot, although I didn't understand it very well, but I still believed that Qin Feng, this kid, would not deceive me about such a big thing. That's why I have called you, and I am ready for you to bring someone to collect the grain in case you need it!" What do you think? Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and said to Li Chengqian.

"Erchen and Qin Feng have gotten along a few times, Qin Feng is indeed not a person who has been lost for no reason, Qin Feng's collection of grain has shown that the matter is urgent, and Erchen is willing to collect grain in case of emergency!" Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

"Yes, it's my prince, Guanyin, I told Qin Feng that the share of these few months will not be sent to the inner treasury, and all the grain will be collected." Li Shimin turned his head and said to Empress Changsun.

"The concubine knows, and the concubine will turn around and send back all the dividends sent by Qin Feng!" Empress Eldest Sun also knew that this matter was not small.

"Well, remember not to spread this matter, and Cheng Qian should not go out in the name of collecting grain, this matter must be carried out secretly!" Li Shimin said.

"Doing it secretly, is my father afraid of causing trouble to Qin Feng?" Li Chengqian understood when he thought about it.

"Yes, the matter of the Wang family has not yet been decided, although I am trying my best to protect Qin Feng, but before the head of the family comes in the future, Qin Feng can't make trouble on his side. If the people of the family knew that the locust plague came from Qin Feng's mouth, I am afraid that my court would not be at peace again! Li Shimin said.

"Erchen knows." Li Chengqian said.

"Okay, you go back first, and I can arrange the rest freely!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"Son's resignation!" Li Chengqian saluted and walked towards the outside of the hall.

After Li Chengqian left, Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, you can just send someone to collect grain, why let Chengqian go there personally!" ”

"Guanyin, this matter is a good thing for Cheng Qian, as my prince, how to manage the country in the future without going through tribulations, and besides, when you are the prince, if the locust plague breaks out, the people know that it is Cheng Qian's grain that is recovered, what do you say? Therefore, the matter of collecting grain can only be done by letting Cheng Qian go, and others are not at ease when they go. Li Shimin explained to Empress Changsun. To put it bluntly, I want to make the locust plague break out in the future and earn prestige for the crown prince. Li Shimin knows very well that water can carry a boat and overturn a boat, so how could Li Chengqian miss such an opportunity.

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Empress Eldest Sun didn't say much, she knew that this trip would indeed have many benefits for Li Chengqian. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, what should be borne must be borne.
