The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been the twenty-eighth year of Zhenguan, and Li Shimin, who should have died five years ago, is still alive, mainly thanks to Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji who persuaded him to let go of power, which made him prolong his life for several years.

The sky in the east has just turned white, Ping An Lang, to be precise, Li An also got up early, Ping An Lang is his nickname, but he is now married and has a career, so even Li Xiu, these elders, no longer call him by his nickname.

Many years ago, Li An served in Yunzhou and has been doing a history of assassination for four years, during those four years, Yunzhou was also orderly under his governance, coupled with the annexation of the grassland by the imperial court, it also attracted many people from Guanzhong, Henan and other places to settle down, after all, no matter how rich the Tang Dynasty is, there must still be many poor people.

According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the people of the Tang Dynasty go to the grassland, they can immediately get a piece of pasture, no one dared to go because they were worried about safety, but now with the annexation and governance of the Tang Dynasty, the security of the grassland state has also been greatly improved, so many bold people have entered the grassland to live and become rich with their own hands.

Four years later, the Tang Dynasty's rule in the Monan area has been very stable, and even Mobei has been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty's rule over the Mobei is still relatively weak, and it cannot reach the level of Monan for the time being, but now the general trend of the Tang Dynasty's annexation of the grassland has become a trend, as long as the Tang Dynasty itself is not chaotic, the entire grassland will be included in the rule of the Tang Dynasty sooner or later.

When the term of office of Yunzhou Assassin ended, Li An was transferred back to Chang'an, after all, now Li Zhi has taken over a considerable part of government affairs, and he is busy every day, so he has long wanted to transfer Li An back to his side to help, and now he finally got his wish.

It's still early, Lizhi is still asleep, Li An got up and helped his wife cover the quilt, and then quietly went out to the outside, he has to go to the morning court every morning, so every time he has to leave at dawn, the family is also ready at this time, and even breakfast is sent to the car, because the time is very tight, so he usually eats breakfast in the car.

"An'er, wait for me!" However, just when Li An was about to let the groom drive the carriage to Chang'an City, he didn't expect someone to shout suddenly, and then he saw his father Li Xiu walking over and boarding his carriage.

"Father, are you going to go to Chang'an?" Li An couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Li Xiu's appearance, since Li Xiu resigned, although Li Shimin and Li Zhi wanted him to be an official in the court again several times, they were all rejected by him, and they rarely went to Chang'an, but they didn't expect to get up so early today, and they also took the same car with themselves.

"Yes, yesterday there was news from the palace, saying that His Majesty's health is not very good, and I plan to visit the palace." Li Xiu sat down at this time and said, and at the same time instructed the groom to start hurrying, after all, it was not early, and he didn't want to delay Li An's morning court.

"Your Majesty's health is not well?" Li Jin was also stunned when he heard the news, and then asked in disbelief, "But the day before yesterday, I accompanied the prince to see His Majesty, and His Majesty was in good spirits at that time and did not look sick at all, why did he get sick after not seeing him for a day?" ”

"People are old, naturally can not be compared with young people, especially His Majesty worked day and night in the past few years, and there was no moderation in life, as a result, the body vitality was greatly damaged, although the past few years of recuperation, but the foundation of the body has been broken, yesterday His Majesty was infected with wind and cold, it was just a minor illness, but in the afternoon it was already bedridden, and I received the news in the evening." Li Xiu sighed at this time and said.

Although Li Shimin listened to him and the persuasion of his eldest grandson Wuji to recuperate, he has lived five years longer than in history, but now Li Shimin's body has begun to deteriorate again, after all, recuperation can only prolong Li Shimin's life, but it cannot make him immortal, although Li Shimin has a minor illness this time, but the symptoms are very serious, and even bedridden, from a medical point of view, this is not a good phenomenon, so Li Xiu wants to visit in person.

Li An is also proficient in medical skills, and when he heard his father's words, he immediately guessed Li Shimin's physical condition, which made him sigh secretly, Li Shimin is his father-in-law, in case the other party really has anything to do, I don't know how sad Lizhi will be?

"By the way, what is the prince mainly doing during this time, and is there any major event in the court?" Li Xiu asked his son again at this time, now Li Anguan worships the prince's position of washing horses, but this official position is not for the prince to wash horses, but to assist the prince in handling government affairs, although the grade is not high, but it is extremely important, if Li Zhi ascends the throne in the future, the prince will wash the horse and almost be the prime minister.

"Your Majesty has handed over more and more government affairs to the crown prince, so now the burden on the crown prince is also very heavy, even if we auxiliary ministers help him to share it, but he is still very busy, I have persuaded him to delegate some power in his hands like His Majesty, so that he can be a little easier."

I saw Li An pause when he said this, and then said: "As for the major events in the court, there are a lot of major events, such as the Anxi Protectorate has expanded a part of its territory to the west, and the ministers in the court think that the land governed by the Anxi Protectorate is too large, so it is recommended to split the Anxi Protectorate, and there are also banks that have penetrated into the state and county, and there are banks in almost every state and county, but the household department wants to bring the bank into its jurisdiction, and now the two sides are fighting, by the way, there is one more thing!" ”

When talking about the bank, Li An suddenly thought of a very important thing, and then patted his head and said: "Some time ago, the second brother led the navy to send troops to the Wa Kingdom and robbed the silver mines of the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa King sent an envoy to complain, which attracted some ministers to impeach the second brother for being bold and reckless, but this matter was suppressed by His Majesty!" ”

"Hehe, your second brother has done a good job, our bank has needed a lot of gold and silver every year since the issuance of gold and silver coins, although the Americas are rich in gold and silver, but the distance is too far, and the transportation is not convenient, but there is a big silver mine in the Japanese country, and now half of the silver we mint silver coins are shipped from the Japanese country, in the past, we had to exchange goods with the Japanese country, and now Jin'er occupies the silver mine, and the silver mined in the future is naturally ours, so much interest Your Majesty will naturally not pay attention to the Japanese country!" Li Xiu couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

After Liu Renyuan cultivated Li Jin for a few years, he really took the initiative to throw the navy to Li Jin, and he went to the south to lead the troops, but Li Jin actually governed the navy very prosperous in just a few years, which is mainly because Li Jin's concept of the navy is different from Liu Renyuan, but it is also this difference that makes Li Jin suffer from the criticism of others in recent years.
