Gu Ruoyu silently made tea for Li You and Xiao Wanyu, and then sat opposite them silently.

After Gu Kun's death, Gu Ruoyu became much simpler, and after her marriage to Yu Chi Baoqi was blocked, she was obviously emaciated.

Facing this unusually beautiful young girl with a sad face in front of him, as a half-brother, Li You has deep sympathy for her miserable experience.

Li You asked again, "Do you want to find your biological father?" ”

Gu Ruoyu bit her lip lightly, thought for a long time, and did not answer. She was conflicted. All people who have lost their parents since childhood want to find their parents, and Gu Ruoyu also has a strong desire in her heart. However, she was full of deep resentment for the disasters that Li Shimin brought to her mother and adoptive father, as well as her loneliness for so many years.

She thought for a long time, then shook her head slightly.

Li You understood her feelings, and he said, "Ruoyu, my father didn't come to you in time back then, and there was a reason for forcing it. He told Gu Ruoyu about the Xuanwumen incident.

The Xuanwumen Incident was a major taboo in the imperial court, and no one between the government and the opposition would talk about it, and Gu Ruoyu didn't know about it. The thrilling things that Li Shimin experienced back then deeply moved Gu Ruoyu. After all, it was a father-daughter connection, and she began to understand Li Shimin a little.

Li You said: "Ruoyu, back then, my father was still in danger, and he had no way to settle your mother. Later, after the situation stabilized, he sent Baoqi's father to look for you, and you had already left Yufeng Town.

Later, your adoptive father, Gu Kun, was hunted down by the Hundred Cavalry Division because they were ordered to track down Li Yuanji's remnants, and the father did not know about it. ”

After Li You's explanation, Gu Ruoyu felt a lot better.

Li You said: "Ruoyu, I suggest that you still recognize your father, fight for an identity for yourself, and a name for your mother." ”

Gu Ruoyu was a little moved, but she was still a little sad in her heart, she still resented Li Shimin for the death of her mother and adoptive father, she was silent and did not speak.

Li You asked, "Ruoyu, do you really like Baoqi?" ”

Gu Ruoyu still nodded silently.

Li You said: "Your marriage has encountered obstacles, if you don't find out your true identity, the Duke of Eguo will not dare to let Baoqi marry you." ”

Xiao Wanyu said: "You don't have to worry, the prince will let you achieve your wish." ”

Gu Ruoyu finally nodded and said, "I am willing." ”

The affairs of the royal family have always been the focus of attention between the government and the opposition, and the matter of His Majesty the Emperor's recognition of the daughter of the people will definitely cause an uproar, so this matter must be very cautious.

Li You said: "You still have to be patient in this matter, you ...... like this"

For Li You, Gu Ruoyu trusts her very much, in her mind, Li You is not only her brother, but also a trustworthy elder. For Xiao Wanyu, Gu Ruoyu also felt the same care from her sister and elders. This kind of feeling can only arise from an orphan like her, who has lost her parents since childhood.

Gu Ruoyu said: "The slave family listens to your arrangement. ”

City of Industry.

Yu Chi Baoqi was uneasy in her heart, she didn't know what Li You called Gu Ruoyu away and talked to her, and she didn't know how Li You persuaded his father to agree to his marriage to Gu Ruoyu.

That afternoon, he was immersed in the affairs of the Industrial City, hoping to relieve the boredom in his heart by being busy.

At this time, Gu Ruoyu came.

Yu Chi Baoqi asked nervously, "Li You, what did the prince talk to you about?" What did he say about us? ”

Gu Ruoyu said: "Brother Baoqi, the prince said that he will definitely help solve our affairs, he asked me to tell you, do a good job in the affairs of the Industrial City, just wait for his news." ”

Yu Chi Baoqi said happily: "That's good, that's good, there's nothing that the prince can't do." In the minds of Yu Chi Baoqi and many people, Li You is a god-like existence.

Gu Ruoyu said: "I haven't been to the industrial city for a while. ”

Yu Chi Baoqi asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Gu Ruoyu said: "I want to enter the palace." ”

When Yu Chi Baoqi heard this, he suddenly became a little anxious, and he said, "What are you doing in the palace?" This is not good, if you enter the palace and are taken by His Majesty, what can you do? "Gu Ruoyu is too good-looking, and it is dangerous to enter the palace.

Gu Ruoyu said: "Don't worry, everything is arranged by the prince." She couldn't tell Yu Chi Baoqi why she entered the palace.

Yu Chi Baoqi was still very worried and unwilling to let Gu Ruoyu enter the palace.

Gu Ruoyu hugged Yu Chi Baoqi, put her face on his chest, and said affectionately: "Brother Baoqi, don't worry, I will definitely marry you in this life." ”

Gu Ruoyu wants to enter the palace, it is Li You's arrangement. If you want Li Shimin to recognize Gu Ruoyu, it mainly depends on his attitude, now, no one knows what Li Shimin thought about what happened back then, and I don't know if he can accept that he has an illegitimate daughter among the people.

Li You's idea was to let Gu Ruoyu enter the palace to see if Li Shimin would think of her mother, Qiao Mengjie, who looked very similar, when he saw Gu Ruoyu. Through Li Shimin's attitude, judge his true thoughts.

Guangcui Hall.

Li You's family entered the palace to visit Concubine Yin, and among their group, four ladies and three children, came to Guangcui Hall in a majestic manner.

Concubine Yin looked at her grandchildren, her face smiled, hugging this, kissing that, it was so rare that she didn't know what to do.

Li You knew that at such a time, it was not his turn to speak, so he glanced at Xiao Wanyu and said goodbye and left.

Li You went around the East Palace, talked to Li Chengqian about the newspaper, and sent someone to call Gao Jingming to study the establishment of Qianzhuang branches across the country.

Gao Jingming is now wealthy, since Li You's sudden rise, the financial resources that Gao Jingming can control have increased dozens of times compared with a few years ago, and people have begun to become generous.

He said: "Your Highness, the plan proposed by Liu Renliang of the Navy Department of the Ministry of War to build 2 first-class, 4 second-class, 16 fourth-class, 22 fifth-class sail battleships, and 18 large transport ships, this money, the minister will definitely squeeze out this money for you." As long as His Majesty approves it, it will be allocated to the Ministry of War immediately. ”

After the Eastern Expedition to Baekje, Li You found that the strength of the navy was still insufficient, and the practice of the last war proved that it was no longer a problem for the Tang Army to achieve absolute superiority in naval warfare, but the number of warships was not enough to carry out a comprehensive blockade of the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Nu Islands. Therefore, it was decided to build another batch of naval warships. It has been proven in actual combat that the third class sail battleship is not high or low, and it is not very practical, so there is no plan to continue its construction.

There is another problem, last time, due to the limited transportation force, only 10,000 Tang troops were carried, which was not enough to achieve the strategic goal, and if more than 60,000 troops could be sent at one time, it would be enough to change the situation of the entire war. Therefore, he decided to build 18 large transport ships that could carry 5,000 people or 800 horses at a time.

This is a large expense, and it must be considered that the imperial court can afford it. Therefore, he asked Liu Renliang to make a budget in advance and show it to Gao Jingming first.

Gao Jingming is not a loser, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, the minister is strongly supporting you, the minister gave you this money, and you will have to tighten your belt in the future." ”

He wants Li You to come up with another idea to make money.
