"Father, there is a drought in Henan Province now. There was a drought in the seven states of the fiefdom of the retainers. I'm afraid that most places will not have a harvest this year. In the Taiji Hall, Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Naturally, someone will deal with the affairs of Henan Province. But within your fiefdom, I will not send anyone to intervene. But I don't want to see outcasts, and I don't bother with how you solve it. Li Shimin said to Li Ke.

"Father, there are tens of thousands of people in the land of Seven States. Once the grains are not harvested, I am afraid that there will be mourning all over the field. It is difficult to maintain without enough food, and he asked his father to allocate disaster relief money and food to help his sons tide over this difficulty. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Qizhou has not been affected by this drought, so naturally there will be no displacement. And your 3,000 acres of land in Qizhou, I'm afraid this year will be a bumper harvest. Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and said.

"It seems that I can't hide anything from my father, now that my father already knows. Erchen wanted some disaster relief money and food, so naturally it was in vain. Li Ke said to Li Shimin with a helpless expression.

"You can handle the disaster relief matters yourself, and I won't interfere if I say it, so I won't take care of it. Now I want to know, how is the integration of the military and government in the land of the seven states? Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Returning to my father, after the efforts of his sons, Dengzhou; Michigan; Qizhou. The military and political power has been controlled by the sons, but the other four states are still obedient to the sons. ”

"How can I have the support of the Shandong clan behind him, and the sons are not in a hurry for quick success." Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"I don't care what method you use, as long as you can integrate the land of the Seven States. I'll give you an unexpected reward. If you can't finish it, then wait for my punishment. Li Shimin said.

Li Ke had a sad expression on his face, and said to Li Shimin: "Erchen knows. However, the son asked his father for another time. The son and the daughter of the Duke of Wei fell in love, and asked his father to give him a decree to marry. ”

"Now your princess is the eldest granddaughter of the Qufu Kong family, and now she wants to marry the daughter of Wei Guogong as his wife. I'm afraid I will wronged Wei Guogong's daughter, right? Li Shimin said hesitantly.

"Father, the son has already discussed with Jingrou. Jingrou has also agreed to let the daughter of the Duke of Wei Guo be his wife. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

Today, Li Jing also came to the court, so Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Li Jing: "I don't know what Brother Li has to say about this matter?" ”

"If you can be a flat wife, the minister will naturally not refuse. If it is a concubine, please forgive the minister for not agreeing. Li Jing opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"In that case, I will decree marriage today. and ordered Li Ke, the king of Qi, to return to Qizhou and start preparations for the wedding of the daughter of Duke Weiguo. Li Shimin nodded and said.

Li Ke and Li Jing bowed and thanked Li Shimin at the same time. Then Li Ke asked Li Shimin for his resignation and prepared to return to Qizhou to prepare for the wedding.

Li Shimin naturally would not refuse, so he agreed to Li Ke's request. At this time, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "Father, the son heard about something, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"There's nothing to say, but it's okay to say it." Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.

"Father, I heard that the third brother has a lot of business in Qizhou City, not to mention the daily progress of the gold. Now that Henan Province is facing this catastrophe, should the third brother be asked to make a little contribution to the imperial court. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"I haven't heard of this, so I wonder if what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true?" Li Shimin asked Li Ke with a smile.

Before Li Ke could answer, Yushi Yan Tingming came out and said: "Your Majesty, the news that the minister got is that Jueweixuan is the property of His Royal Highness King Qi. This is definitely a daily gold transaction, and I am afraid that His Royal Highness King Qi is even richer than the emperor now. ”

"Judging from the good dishes you cooked, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yan Yushi don't seem to be chasing the wind. Should you talk to me? Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Li Ke.

At this time, Li Ke's face was full of helplessness, and he said: "Although Erchen has some shares in Jueweixuan, he is not the shopkeeper of Jueweixuan. So the profit is also very pitiful. ”

"What is this share? I've never heard of it. Li Shimin continued to ask.

"The shares are the sons of the sons in Jueweixuan, and there is a certain share of profits." Li Ke replied.

"And how much is that?" Li Shimin asked inquiringly.

"Erchen and Zhang Baiwei, the shopkeeper of Juewei Xuan, share fifty-fifty of Juewei Xuan's profits?" Li Ke thought about it and said to Li Shimin.

"Jueweixuan has now opened to Chang'an City, not to mention that it is almost the same as making money every day. It seems that Yan Yushi is not wrong, you are richer than me. Li Shimin said with a smile.

"That's the hard-earned money of the son, and the father can't beat his idea. Erchen also pointed to him for the elderly. Li Ke looked at Li Shimin with a worried face and said.

"Since you are in Qizhou, you have also received the fiefdom of seven states. Then this is the position of the envoy of the Nandao Festival, and you will take up it. Li Shimin said.

At this time, everyone is not calm, although this festival makes a position a false position. The constraints on state capitals are not very strong. After all, the military and political directors of the real state capital are the assassins and governors.

But after all, he is nominally the supreme governor of Henan Province, so Changsun Wuji and others naturally don't want to see it. Even Li Chengqian didn't expect that he would lose a handful of rice instead of stealing chickens.

Before Li Ke could say anything, the eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the King of Qi has a little merit. However, for the post of Henan Jiedu envoy, the minister felt that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was not up to the task. ”

"Father, the eldest grandson is right. Erchen didn't even manage the land of the Seven Prefectures well. How can he serve as the envoy of Henan Province. He also asked his father to take back his order. Li Ke hurriedly echoed and said.

At this time, the important ministers of the court opened their mouths one after another, expressing their support for the eldest grandson Wuji. felt that Li Ke was not qualified to serve as the envoy of Henan Province.

At this time, Li Shimin said: "Now that there is a big drought in Henan Province, I am afraid that there will be no harvest in the end." At that time, there will definitely be countless displaced people in Henan Province. ”

"If you think anyone can solve this drought on their own, without using the treasury. I asked him to be the envoy of the festival of this Henan Province, and granted real power. ”

As soon as Li Shimin said this, the court was instantly silent. Solving the drought in Henan Province on one-handedness is not something that anyone can do.

At this time, Yan Tingming, the imperial historian, opened his mouth to support Li Shimin and said: "The emperor is wise, and the minister feels that except for His Royal Highness the King of Qi, no one can be qualified for this position." After all, now that His Royal Highness King Qi is very rich, it must be easy to deal with this drought. ”

At the same time, a vengeful smile appeared on Yan Tingming's face. seems to have seen Li Ke being overwhelmed and scattering his wealth.
