"Your father asked you to go to the state next year?" When Li Xiu heard the news from Li Zhi's mouth, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, but then he guessed what was going on, and he couldn't help but feel anxious at the moment.

"Yes, my father found me last night, first said a lot of miscellaneous things, and then suddenly said that he wanted me to go to the state next year, and said that it was for my good, but he didn't tell me the reason, I thought about it for most of the night last night and didn't figure it out, so I hope that Mr. will help me solve my doubts." Li Zhi said helplessly at this time, and the two dark circles on his face were also particularly obvious.

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Xiu shook it with a smile and said, "Pheasant slave, the reason why your father didn't tell you is actually for your own good, so don't ask anymore, even if I know, I can't tell you." ”

"Ah~, my father said the same thing, but I can't understand why my father sent me to Bingzhou, and why did he say it was for my good?" Li Zhi saw that even Li Xiu was unwilling to tell him the reason for this incident, and he couldn't help but complain very distressedly, he was about to drive himself crazy yesterday in order to think about this matter.

"Don't be too distressed, with my understanding of your father, he is actually very reluctant to let you leave his side, for example, the last time you went to Liaodong, if it wasn't for the help of your son, I'm afraid your father wouldn't agree at all, and now that you've just come back, if it weren't for the stakes, he wouldn't have thought of sending you away." Li Xiu spoke again at this time to persuade, he was worried that Li Zhi would not be able to figure it out for a while, so he would complain to Li Shimin, which would affect the relationship between their father and son.

"Sir, you don't have to worry, although I don't know what my father has to worry about, but I know that he loves me very much, otherwise he wouldn't have let me live in the palace all the time, and he was reluctant to let me live alone out of the palace, so I wouldn't have any complaints about my father." Li Zhi also knew the meaning of Li Xiu's words, and said with a reluctant smile at the moment.

Seeing Li Zhi's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh secretly, in fact, Li Shimin's idea was very simple, that is, to transfer Li Zhi out of Chang'an to avoid it, because the eldest grandson Wuji deliberately approached Li Zhi during this time, if he let it go on like this, I am afraid that Li Zhi will also be involved in the struggle for the throne in the end, and now just Li Tai and Li Chengqian have already made Li Shimin feel overwhelmed, Li Zhi is already the only sister-in-law who has not been involved in the battle for the throne, so Li Shimin will not hesitate to let him leave Chang'an temporarily, to ensure that Li Zhi will not be involved.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he actually has other ways to deal with Li Zhi, such as he can warn the eldest grandson Wuji and prohibit him from approaching Li Zhi with ulterior motives, but after all, the eldest grandson Wuji has been Li Shimin's friend for many years and is the most powerful assistant by his side, so Li Shimin can't bear to destroy the relationship between the two, plus even if there is no eldest grandson Wuji, there may be other people with ulterior motives approaching Li Zhi, so the best way is to let Li Zhi leave the power vortex of Chang'an.

"Actually, it's good to leave Chang'an, pheasant slave, as a prince, you have a heavier burden than ordinary people, if you have been living in Chang'an, growing up under the wing of your father, it looks good, but it is difficult to experience wind and rain, which is not good for your growth, and after going to other places, you can really learn to be independent, which reminds me of your third brother Li Ke." Li Xiu sensed that Li Zhi was depressed, so he comforted him again.

"Third brother?" When Li Zhi heard Li Xiu mention his third brother Li Ke, who was far away in Yangzhou, his eyes couldn't help but light up and said, "I heard that the third brother has done a good job in Yangzhou, and has built Yangzhou into a very prosperous big city, and even many people call Yangzhou 'South Chang'an', and even when my father mentioned the third brother, he was full of praise." ”

The relationship between Li Zhi and Li Ke is quite good, although Li Ke spends most of his time in Yangzhou, and usually does not return to Chang'an, so he rarely meets Li Zhi, but he often sends people to Li Zhi's brothers and sisters to send some southern specialties, plus he performs very well in Yangzhou, so Li Zhi even has some admiration for Li Ke's brother, but he would never have dreamed that in the original history, Li Ke's brother died at his hands, and he died very unjustly.

"Yes, your third brother did a very good job in Yangzhou, and I remember when he went to Yangzhou, it seems that at your current age, you are much stronger than his Yangzhou governor, almost the entire Taiyuan Mansion is under your jurisdiction, and Taiyuan is the main point of traffic between the Tang Dynasty and the grassland, if the development is good, it will definitely not be worse than your third brother!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.

Li Zhi's title is the King of Jin, but the official position is the governor of the state, speaking of which was originally the ancient name of Taiyuan, and the abbreviation of Taiyuan "and" also comes from this, it can be said that the state is actually Taiyuan, but when Li Zhi was named the king of Jin, according to his title, his fief should be Taiyuan, but Taiyuan is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the land of Longxing of the Tang Dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible to be the fief of the prince, even if Li Shimin loves this son again.

In this case, Li Shimin finally made a trick, he divided a part of Taiyuan and named it Bingzhou, as Li Zhi's fief, but in fact, Li Zhi's power as the governor of the state is very large, almost the entire military and political power of Taiyuan, usually by Li Ji, so Li Xiucai said that Li Zhi's Yangzhou governor is stronger than Li Ke's Yangzhou governor, after all, no matter how prosperous Yangzhou is, it is still not as good as Luoyang and Taiyuan.

"I ...... Can I really be like the third brother, can I compare the governance of the state with Chang'an? When Li Zhi heard Li Xiu's words, he couldn't help but show an excited expression and said, children are like this, and they are very eager to make a career like adults, so when they heard that Li Xiu took Li Ke as an example for himself, Li Zhi was naturally excited, and all his previous losses were left behind by him.

"What's impossible? In fact, you are stronger than your third brother's conditions, although you are both princes, but you are a descendant, and you also know your third brother's situation, because of his mother's identity, his situation is worse than that of ordinary princes, and he is my student like you, I can tell you that your third brother is not smarter than you, so it is entirely possible for you to do better than your third brother! Li Xiu also cheered Li Zhi up at the moment.

In fact, Li Xiu's words are also a bit exaggerated, from the perspective of external conditions, Li Ke is indeed inferior to Li Zhi everywhere, and even Li Shimin loves Li Zhi more, but Li Ke has many advantages that Li Ke does not have, especially in character, it can be said that among Li Shimin's sons, Li Ke's personality is most like Li Shimin, decisive and courageous, and Li Zhi is a little indecisive compared to Li Ke.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel full of confidence, the original disappointment in Chang'an has all turned into expectations and ambitions, and he can't wait to fly to Bingzhou immediately now but do a big job, and then everyone will be impressed, just like his third brother.

Seeing Li Zhi's excited appearance, Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Chang'an City in the north, this time he helped Li Shimin hide Li Zhi, but as Li Zhi grew older, I am afraid that he will understand sooner or later in the future, Li Shimin transferred him out of Chang'an, and then I hope that he can maintain his original intention, and don't be fascinated by the throne like Li Tai.

At the same time as Li Xiu and Li Zhi were talking, in the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji were also having a conversation, but they were not talking about private matters, but important court and political affairs.

"Your Majesty, since the last time the imperial court tightened its control over the Turks in various places, although most of the Turks have become more honest, there are also some Turks who are not convinced, and conflicts with the local areas have also occurred from time to time, and now the criminal department has dealt with a lot of cases about the Turks, and now the local and criminal departments hope that the imperial court can severely punish the Turks to deter the remaining Turks." At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji picked up a piece of music and reported to Li Shimin.

Hearing that the Turks who moved to Guanzhong, Henan and other places dared to make trouble, this made Li Shimin frown, and said with some annoyance: "These Turks really don't know what to do, and they dare to make trouble at this time, since this is the case, then I will fulfill them, all the Turks who make trouble, even their relatives, are all exiled to Hongzhou for Zhao Deyan to deal with!" ”

"Yes!" Hearing Li Shimin's reply, the eldest grandson Wuji also immediately agreed, and then picked up the pen to record Li Shimin's reply to the fold, and then this fold will be sent to the door of the province, if the door of the province has no objection, it will finally be sent to the province of Shangshu to be responsible for implementation, the book to take the decree, the door to refute, Shangshu to follow it, this is also the operation rules of the core of the highest power of the Tang Dynasty.

"Hou Junji sent a battle report over there, they have captured the Gaochang town of Tiandicheng, capturing more than 7,000 men and women, as a result, Lu Wentai saw that our army was so strong, and he died of fear, and now his son Ji Zhisheng succeeded to the throne, but this Ji Zhisheng refused to surrender, and still led his troops to resist." At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji picked up a battle report and reported it to Li Shimin.

Hearing that Lu Wentai was dead, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing happily: "This stupid man is so cowardly, he was already scared to death before the army took Gaochang City, but it was cheaper for him, otherwise I would definitely sacrifice him to Taimiao and personally cut off his dog's head!" ”

Gaochang's good news made Li Shimin also happy, and immediately issued an order to spread the good news, and also sent people to reward the three armies, and the eldest grandson Wuji also wrote down his orders one by one, but in the end, I saw Li Shimin suddenly groaned, and then seemed to be quite understated: "By the way, I decided to let the pheasant slave go to the state next year, you let the subordinates and Zhongshu discuss it!" ”
