Wang En informed the princess that she was coming, and Li Shimin immediately knew the purpose of the princess, and it was estimated that she also hoped to show her responsibility as a sister-in-law in front of Li Shimin and Wei Guifei.

"I've seen my father! I've seen the concubine! "The Su family came over, first saluted Li Shimin and Wei Guifei, and then Qin Huaidao and Li Lixian saluted the Su family.

"I just learned that Prince Lu is here, so I came to take a look, Yuan'er, can I go to my uncle's house to play?" Su Shi squatted down and said to Qin Yuan as he spoke.

"Okay, thank you, auntie!" Qin Yuan also said with a smile, he also often went to the East Palace, and he followed Li Lixian, so now that he saw the Su family, he was not timid.

"Okay, we'll be over later!" Su Shi said with a smile.

"Let's go in the afternoon, go after lunch, I'm a grandfather, I haven't seen this kid for a long time, your sister is angry with me!" Li Shimin said to Su Shi with a smile.

"Huh?"

"Where?" Li Lixian immediately looked at Li Shimin with a wry smile.

"Not yet, let Pepin go so far away, you are not angry? My father and emperor know it, but looking at it, only Pepin can deal with the epidemic, so it is not okay for him not to go, and it is precisely this time that our Datang has completely solved the smallpox matter, Peping has made a huge contribution to his father, to our entire royal family, and to the entire Datang! Li Shimin smiled and pointed at Li Lixian and said.

"I know, but this time my daughter went to Licheng, and it won't be so easy to see her father when the time comes!" Li Lixian bowed her head and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, it's okay, I'll come back and have a look, it's really not good, my father can also go to Licheng to see you, the province sits in the palace every day, and I haven't been out much in the past few years!" Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand and said, he is not willing to let Li Lixian go, there are so many girls, and those few girls are intimate, and Li Lixian is the most worry-free.

"Okay, then the concubine will go and arrange an afternoon meal first?" Su Shi looked at Li Shimin with a smile and asked,

Li Shimin heard it, nodded, and then sat there chatting, and when it was almost lunch, Li Chengqian came over,

After lunch, Li Lixian took Qin Yuan to the East Palace, while Qin Huaidao, Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin were still talking about the court on the side of Chengtian Palace.

"Father, now there are some green and yellow shortages in the court, and with the expansion of my Tang territory, there are now a large number of vacancies, and some officials are also old.

For example, Cheng Biting Jin and them, it is estimated that they will go back to recuperate in the next few years, and there will be vacancies in the army at that time, and now those young officials have just entered the court as officials for a short time, if they are raised too quickly, it is not a good thing! Li Chengqian sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, this matter has been reported by the ministry, but it is impossible to solve it at once, Pepin, but is there any way?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao as he spoke, Qin Huaidao manages Dali Temple, and he knows the situation of those officials best, so Li Shimin will definitely ask Qin Huaidao's opinion.

"Well, let those young officials be promoted to the upper two levels and serve as deputies, so that they can train in advance,

At the same time, increase the number of talents selected for the imperial examination and several universities, and reserve enough officials, this problem is actually temporary, not to mention other places, let's just say that Chang'an City is here, and now the children of the poor are also studying, maybe ten years later, Datang will not lack scholars at all, and there will be no shortage of officials, the key is that now, now we need to let this pass well! Qin Huaidao thought about it for a moment and said to Li Shimin.

"It has been increased, this imperial examination, 400 people have been selected, which is the most in a year, and at the same time, 500 people have been mobilized from several universities to join the court, assigned to various departments of the court, and they are ready to go down for a few years, let them go below to exercise, and now they still need to learn from other colleagues." Li Chengqian immediately said to Qin Huaidao,

Qin Huaidao nodded and said: "This is okay, but it still needs to be increased, my Datang has also expanded a lot in the past two years, and many areas need officials.

Moreover, in the next few years, we still need to fight foreign wars, and we will also need a large number of officials at that time, and in the army, we also need to let those young soldiers go to the border to exercise, only in actual combat, can they exercise their ability, not just rely on the training of military schools, those generals must exercise their command ability through actual combat! Qin Huaidao then said to Li Shimin.

"Well, it's okay, I'll talk about this another day, talk about your business, I heard that you're going to move to a new mansion during this time?" Li Shimin waved his hand and said to Qin Huaidao,

Qin Huaidao nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the old mansion has not been overhauled for many years, Xian'er said that it should also be repaired, plus the previous mansion has been built, Erlang is also older, and he also needs to be separated, so this time Erchen decided to move, and at the same time let Erlang live separately." ”

And at this moment, in the harem, Li Shen came to visit Wei Guifei, and Wei Guifei also told him about the things he saw Qin Huaidao this morning, including Qin Jiao's affairs, Li Shen heard it, and sat there without speaking.

"Shen'er, what the hell do you think? You are so old, it is time to start a family, Qin Jiao's side, I don't think you can count on it, I think, even if your master agrees, your father will not agree, if you really want to fight, then you can only rely on yourself, now your father is still in the prime of life, there is still time! Wei Guifei looked at Li Shen who was sitting there and said,

Li Shen heard it and smiled.

"Shen'er?" Seeing him like this, Wei Guifei shouted at him a little worriedly.

"Mother, you said, you conscientiously support your father, help your father manage this harem, do everything carefully, never dare to go beyond anything, but in the end, you still can't be named the queen, mother, your father is unfair to you!" Li Shen raised his head at this moment, looked at Wei Guifei and said.

"Shut up, what are you talking nonsense?" Wei Guifei heard it, and scolded Li Shen and said.

"Am I talking nonsense? In the past, the father was afraid of the eldest grandson Wuji, afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji would be dissatisfied at that time, but now he is afraid of Prince Lu, afraid of Prince Lu's opposition, to put it mildly, it is not for the throne, I hope that the throne can be passed on to the eldest brother?

If I don't crown you as the queen now, aren't I worried that once I am sealed, I will be able to compete for this position justifiably? If I don't fight, will he dare to seal it? Li Shen looked at Wei Guifei with a sneer and said.

"You, that's what you said, you kid, what's wrong today?" Wei Guifei was very anxious, he felt that Li Shen was a little abnormal.

"I'm fine, I'm just not convinced, and I don't feel worthy of kissing you for my mother, what about me, because it's your son, I can't marry Qin Jiao, and my mother kisses you, because of me, and because of the eldest brother, they can't be sealed, mother, you are here in the harem, everything is managed, why can't you still be sealed, the child is not convinced!" Li Shen sat there, gritted his teeth and said.

Wei Guifei heard it and sighed, she knew that Qin Jiao's matter had brought him a lot of stimulation, and Li Shen still hoped to be able to get Qin Jiao's, but Qin Huaidao didn't let go, so it was useless for anyone to say it, let Qin Jiao find it by herself, it was just an excuse.

"Shen'er, listen to your mother's words, don't fight, this position is really not as good as you think! Calling a lonely person is not superficial, it is really a lonely person, this road, my mother still hopes that you will consider it carefully. Wei Guifei looked at Li Shen and persuaded her,

When Li Shen heard it, he looked up at her with strange eyes.

"Yes, my mother hoped that you would be able to fight, but whether you can succeed or not depends on your father's intentions, and now your father is greatly influenced by the crown prince and Prince Lu, plus Prince Lu supports His Royal Highness the prince, and it is too difficult to bring down the prince.

Shen'er, but you need to think clearly, don't really go because those people from the family are looking for you, your mother still hopes that you are safe, and even said, it's okay to go! Wei Guifei looked at Li Shen and said, Li Shen smiled bitterly when she heard it.

"What did they talk to you about that made you so determined to fight?" Wei Guifei looked at Li Shen and continued to ask,

Wei Guifei knew that those people from the family must have gone to Li Shen, and they must have talked about a lot of things with Li Shen, otherwise, Li Shen would not be so firm, even if he wanted to offend Qin Huaidao, he would not hesitate to do so.

And for Wei Guifei, he hopes that Li Shen can get Qin Huaidao's support, if there is Qin Huaidao's support, then there is still a great possibility, if not, then to fight is to find death, now that the prince is full-fledged, it is not so easy to bring him down!

"Mother, I will find a good marriage by myself, and when the time comes, just let my father come forward, there are still things at the university, the child needs to go and see, now the master has just come back, and he has no time to go to the university, so I still need to keep an eye on it!" Li Shen stood up and said to Wei Guifei,

Wei Guifei also stood up at this moment, her heart was very entangled, she didn't know how to persuade this son, so she could only send him to the door of the inner palace.

As soon as he left the inner palace, he saw Qin Huaidao walking outside, and Li Shen immediately hurried over.

"Master, master!" Li Shen shouted from behind, Qin Huaidao was about to get on the horse, but when he heard the shout, he stopped, and saw that it was Li Shen, and Qin Huaidao was also waiting there with a smile.

"Master, have you just come out of the Chengtian Palace?" Li Shen looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and asked.

"Well, coming out of the harem?" Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I happened to meet the master!" Li Shen said with a smile.

"Well, why don't we go together, we haven't walked together for a long time!" Qin Huaidao thought about it for a moment and said to Li Shen, he hoped that Li Shen would not compete for the crown prince.
