Chibi nostalgia, Cai Cong boated on the river alone, and the matter of blowing the wind on the river in the middle of the night was full in Sister Cai'er's eyes.

Cai Cong leaned on the side of the boat to blow the wind, and Xiao Liuzi was cooking the fresh fish caught on the side with a small stove, he was not a nostalgic person for the past and the present, and he really didn't understand where the sadness in Cai Cong's eyes came from.

"Master has eaten fish, try to see if the skills of the sixth son have improved." Xiao Liuzi said with a smile, Cai Cong glanced at the casserole on the stove, shook his head and said, "Don't think that it will be delicious if you put too many spices, you have ruined the umami taste of the fish." ”

"I don't want to see if I'm talented! It seems that I can only call the cook to come up and do it. ”

Xiao Liuzi looked at the fish soup he had cooked, shook his head, and poured the fish soup into the river.

"Master, you've been boating in Chibi for five nights in a row, you shouldn't be tired of it, you should consider the feelings of the old lady!" Xiao Liuzi watched the cook cook the fish soup, but his mouth muttered.

At this time, the cook raised his head and grinned and said to the sixth son, "Sixth master, the head of the family is not boating, he is waiting for news!" ”

"I want you to talk more and cook fish soup well, and I can learn a lot." Liuzi scolded with a smile, but looked up at Cai Cong.

"Any news?"

"When I returned home, news came from Chang'an that the emperor's health was not as good as before, and his headaches often flared up, and his temper became more and more irritable. A few days ago, a Taoist priest came to Chang'an, and the emperor was taking the elixir he refined. ”

The chef lowered his head and whispered, but his hand was quickly cooking a fat fish. Xiao Liuzi's eyes were full of surprise, this cook who came to cook every day was actually responsible for delivering the news?

"Alchemy? The queen mother did not advise the civil and military officials? Cai Cong finally showed a surprised expression, Li Shimin is looking for his own death!

The prince wanted to rush back to Chang'an to admonish, but the emperor issued an edict to punish him, and ordered him not to return to Chang'an until the assessment of the Ministry of Rites was completed. Now in Chang'an, only the King of Jin and the scholars tried to prove that the Kunlun Daoist was a liar, but it has been ineffective. ”

The cook said that he added some ginger to the fish soup, Cai Cong's face was gloomy, should he persuade Li Shimin? Others don't know, but he knows very well that Li Shimin was killed by taking pills in his later years.

"Master, isn't this emperor stupid, when he is sick, he doesn't take medicine but goes to eat the pills refined by those Taoist priests, isn't this killing himself?"

Liuzi said in surprise that he had seen a Taoist priest put gunpowder into the Dan furnace to refine medicine, and what came out was a dark red pill, and the Taoist priest swallowed it in one bite, and as a result, the seven orifices bled to death.

Cai Cong didn't reply to his words, but kept his head down and didn't speak, his flickering eyes showed the unpeace in his heart.

After a long time, he said, "Isn't this just looking for death?" Prepare paper, pen and ink, I have to give advice, otherwise I will die if I eat too much pills. ”

Hearing that Cai Cong was going to admonish Xiao Liuzi, he immediately became anxious, he stood up and said quickly, "Master, what does he do?" If the emperor dies, the crown prince ascends the throne, and we can return to Chang'an. Don't look at the old lady who hasn't said it, but the sixth son can see that she misses Chang'an very much, and her homeland is hard to leave! The old lady didn't want to wander around like this at all. ”

"Of course I know my mother, she doesn't want to wander like this!"

Cai Cong said in a deep voice, his face was a little ugly. Who wants to call the world home? If it sounds good, it is called wandering the world, and if it is bad, it is called duckweed without roots.

"The emperor is not emotional, and I am not stupid and loyal. But the queen mother is very kind to me, and the prince and the kings are close friends with me, and if they know that I don't save him when I see death, how do you let me face them? ”

Cai Cong said angrily, this is his sincere words, but in fact, he doesn't care in his heart, Li Shimin can't listen to his advice, but will suspect Cai Cong with ulterior motives.

Cai Cong can't be blamed for being ruthless, he is already twenty-six or seventeen years old, in this era when the average life expectancy is less than forty-five years old, he can't waste his good years between traveling in the mountains and rivers, and the grand cause needs Li Chengqian to create with him.

"Master! You can't be a woman's kindness! The grand cause is only in your thoughts, the big deal is that in the future, you will treat the Li royal family well, and allow them a superior and prosperous life, how many royal families who have lost the country have ended up in extinction, if you treat them well, it will be enough to make a good name. ”

Xiao Liuzi suddenly knelt on the ground and said respectfully, as long as Li Shimin is dead, the court will be in chaos, and when Cai Cong raises his arms, he doesn't know how many forces will echo his uprising.

"What do you think? If I really want to rebel, seven years ago I led an army of 50,000 to the south to capture Yangzhou, and then joined Fang Yuan's army, and there was at least a fifty percent chance of winning the world by waving my army north. ”

"When Li Shimin is killed, your chances of gaining the world are at least seventy percent, you are really wise, I am afraid that you will not be able to lie dormant for so long if you are the sixth son."

Liuzi misinterpreted Cai Cong's meaning, and said with admiration, Cai Cong almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, went up and kicked Liuzi and said angrily, "Put away your damn thoughts, this world is very big, so big that you can't imagine it, and my dream with Li Chengqian is to let the banner of the Tang Dynasty be planted in all the land, so that all the Tang people can straighten their waists, and not let the history of Wuhu Chaohua repeat itself."

Six sons. You have to remember that a throne is nothing in my eyes, my ambitions and ideals are not in the throne, so you don't have unrealistic ideas, this is very dangerous, if one day your behavior makes me think that you will harm my plans, then even if many people plead, I will kill you. ”

Cai Cong's tone was full of coldness when he said the last sentence, Xiao Liuzi nodded submissively, Cai Cong had never said such heavy things to him, and warning him so tonight made him feel a little sad.

"Master, although the sixth son doesn't know how great your plan is, if you have this world in your hands, wouldn't it be much easier to implement the plan?" Although the sixth son was a little sad, he still thought about Cai Cong wholeheartedly, and directly explained the incomprehension in his heart.

"Liuzi, I will teach you a sentence today, so that people can make the best use of it! In terms of handling political affairs, I am not worthy of one Li Chengqian when it comes to coordinating ten subjects, and ten Li Chengqian are inferior to me in terms of marching and fighting.

If I go to be the emperor, I am afraid that I will not allow my courtiers to make mistakes, let alone compromise, and I will only be afraid that there will be a river of blood inside and outside the government and the opposition at that time. ”

Cai Cong said calmly, he couldn't rub sand in his eyes, this character was very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, he was kind to the people, but he couldn't tolerate any officials and squires sucking the people's fat and people's ointment, and would only use the most brutal means to solve the problem.

And Li Chengqian was instilled with the art of the emperor by Li Shimin since he was a child, and he was taught by a famous Confucian minister, and his means of handling government affairs were extremely high, otherwise he would not have let the hundred officials love him so much, so that those princes who have ideas are like clowns who jump off the beam, and not a single important minister can win over.
