Chang'an.

A few days after Meng Yu left, Li Shimin ordered the selection of beauties and let those beauties enter the palace to serve him.

When she entered the palace that day, the martial arts people relied on their ingenuity and wisdom to make Long Yan happy, and Li Shimin gave her many rewards, and she accepted them peacefully.

Martial arts talent, her natal name is Wu Meiniang, she is the second daughter of Wu Shi Xuan, introverted but intelligent, his father in order to please Li Shimin, did not hesitate to send her into the palace, to Li Shimin to be a talent, but she wanted to escape from that family from the bones.

In which family, he can only feel betrayal, even if it is a family that betrays her, she always has to endure the eyes of her family, and now that she has entered the palace, she can be liberated, this is what she should be.

The next day, in the early sun, Li Zhi, who came back from Luoyang, also hurriedly entered the palace to report the situation in Luoyang to his father, and met Wu Meiniang at the east gate of Taiji Palace.

Wu Meiniang is only sixteen years old, two years older than Li Zhi, she is naturally charming, and she immediately makes Li Zhi's heart move.

"Ahem!!"

The guards on the side coughed twice and urged: "Prince, Your Majesty is still waiting for you, let's go over and report the disaster in Luoyang as soon as possible, so that Your Majesty can feel at ease!" ”

Only then did Li Zhi come back to his senses and leave in a hurry.

Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, turned her head in the distance, looked at the departing young man in surprise, and couldn't help laughing: "It turned out to be the prince, fortunately, I made a big gift just now, otherwise this is also a crime to be committed!" ”

She patted her proud breasts, then twisted herself and left.

Li Zhi also entered the Taiji Palace, looked at Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chair, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor!" Hooray! ”

Although he is Li Shimin's son, he is already the crown prince at this moment, and he can't call Li Shimin's father and emperor in the main hall, so he has to call His Majesty, or the emperor.

The guards who followed him also knelt on the ground and saluted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin raised his hand to let this stinky boy get up, he stared at him and asked, "Prince, how is the disaster in Luoyang?" ”

Li Zhi got up and replied: "The disaster in Luoyang is slight, there is not much loss of food in winter, the Nanjia family uses the greenhouse method to keep this year's harvest, I believe that the harvest in Luoyang will be better next year!" ”

When he thought of the Nan family's enthusiasm for him, he couldn't help but feel cordial, after all, it was also Meng Yu's home, and since it was Mr.'s home, he naturally felt very cordial.

"Good! Fu Jihou is far-sighted! ”

Li Shimin smiled, got up from the dragon chair, looked at his beloved son, in a trance, the little fart child had grown up, and he would become an adult in two years, he was surprised that time flew by at the same time, but also witnessed Li Zhi's growth, and felt more and more that Meng Yu was really his lucky general!

He opened his mouth and smiled: "Prince, you have done a very good job over the years, and I am also very satisfied, if you have anything you want, tell me, I will give permission!" ”

Li Zhi was overjoyed, suddenly looked up at his father, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister hopes that Your Majesty will conduct business and trade with those countries outside the Yumen Pass, so that the domestic demand of the Tang Dynasty can be expanded at one time, and more grain crops can also be introduced, so as to enrich the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

When he discussed this idea with Meng Yu, Meng Yu told him personally, since he asked, Meng Yu would naturally tell him how to govern the country, how to make the people live better, and how to make the Tang Dynasty more prosperous.

However, this matter needs to be brought up by him, if Meng Yu brings it up, Li Shimin may have doubts, thinking that Meng Yu collaborated with the enemy and treason, and was a foreigner in Yumen Pass.

Have trade relations?

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Zhi's immature face, and couldn't help laughing: "This is what Meng Ziran's stinky boy told you, right?" Obviously, he is nine years older than you, but he still dares to teach you, what a good teacher! But your idea is very good, I agreed, but how to operate it, and please tell the prince about it. ”

Li Shimin also feels that trade is a good choice, which is like the relationship between going out and bringing in, Datang is rich in resources, even if it trades, there will be no loss, and at the same time trading with many countries, then it can take the strengths of others, make up for its own shortcomings, and strengthen the strength of Datang.

It's like, if I give someone an idea, and after they think about it, they give me the answer, if you tell only one person, you can get one answer, but if you tell multiple people at the same time, you can get multiple answers, and when you corroborate each other, you can get a near-perfect answer.

If Datang wants to go further, then there is a way to trade with other countries.

Li Zhi nodded and spoke freely: "Your Majesty, we can send people to re-walk the Silk Road, just like Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty went out of the fortress, communicate with other countries, establish a market in Yumen Pass, and supply people from foreign countries to trade." ”

"We can let the caravans go, sign agreements with foreign countries, and not attack passing caravans, so that we can trade peacefully!"

The guards around him were silent, this kind of thing often causes disputes among the ministers in the court, and now Li Zhi dared to say it directly, which scared this personal guard with a chill down his back.

He really wanted to pull Li Zhi out and make it clear to his Highness that he would stop mentioning this issue, but unfortunately he had no choice but to resign himself to his fate.

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! Good! ”

Li Shimin suddenly smiled, as if he knew it in his heart, turned around and said: "Prince, this matter will be left to you, this is a test I give you, and it is also a trust in you, I hope you will do your best to complete it, don't let your husband be ashamed!" ”

Hearing the last sentence, Li Zhi's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he smiled indifferently: "Your Majesty, Mr. is idle?" Can I visit him? ”

Li Shimin was stunned and speechless. He didn't want to tell Li Zhi that Meng Yu had gone to take revenge, and he was afraid that this trip would be dangerous, and he might not be able to come back, even he could see the heaviness of Meng Yu this time, and he could see the sadness.

He sighed: "He's gone to kill!" I heard him say that he is a visitor from Dongying, if he comes back, you can't mention this matter, otherwise it will hurt him! ”

Li Zhi was stunned, he seemed to guess why Meng Yu wanted to kill people and why he left.

"Yes...... Is it the person next to Mr. who died? ”

He was a little surprised, but he still put forward his own speculation and wanted to confirm it.

Li Shimin looked at him and said helplessly: "That's true, it's the girl he loves very much who has died, and he wants to take revenge and make himself not so sad!" ”

Li Zhi is silent, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, this is right!

He nodded indifferently and retreated, while his personal guard was also stunned, and he also bowed and retreated.

Li Shimin was the only one left in the main hall, he looked outside the hall and muttered: "If you want to come back alive, your students will have to rely on your support in the future!" ”
