In the Ganlu Palace, Li Yuan and Pei Lin sat opposite each other, with a simple table of wine and food in front of them, and the two chatted while drinking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty, I have already been to the prince's side, and I have conveyed your meaning to the past, the prince is very remorseful for the mistakes he made, and has repeatedly promised the old minister that he will never make the same mistake again!" At this time, I saw Pei Lin take the initiative to speak, although Li Jiancheng has been released from house arrest, he has rarely had contact with outsiders during this time, and it is estimated that he is also worried about making Li Yuan unhappy again, so Li Jiancheng during this time can be described as very cautious.

"Hmph, just guarantee that there is a fart, if it weren't for this incident, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the valley!" When Li Yuan heard this, he snorted coldly, and even said swear words, which was in front of Pei Lian, otherwise he would never have disregarded his image so much.

"Your Majesty should be angry, but in my opinion, it is actually normal for the prince to raise private soldiers, you must know that King Qin has countless elite soldiers in his hands, but there are not many troops in the hands of the prince to mobilize, which will naturally make him feel unsafe, so I am sure that he is actually only raising private soldiers just in case!" I saw Pei Lin smiling and explaining for Li Jiancheng, he had already decided to support the prince before, so now he is trying his best to excuse Li Jiancheng.

Hearing Pei Lian's words, Li Yuan didn't lose his temper again, and immediately saw him drink all the wine in the cup, and then he spoke again: "Don't I know that the military power in the hands of King Qin is too great?" I have agreed to analyze the Tiance Mansion before, as long as he waits patiently for a year or two, he can separate the military power in the hands of King Qin, and then I will hand over the government to him a little bit, but if you look at him, he is so uncontrollable, I am really disappointed! ”

Although Li Yuan's words were stern, his tone became much softer, which also made Pei Lian secretly relieved, with his understanding of Li Yuan, this also meant that Li Yuan no longer had Li Jiancheng's anger, and just simply complained a few words.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is just confused for a while, and he will never make this mistake again in the future, but now the top priority is to split the military power in the hands of King Qin, last time His Majesty sent King Qin to Gyeongju to quell the rebellion, not only let King Qin have another merit, but also the military power in his hands is more stable!" Pei Lin changed the topic at this time.

Li Yuan frowned when he heard this, the matter of dismantling the Tiance Mansion was going very smoothly, but now after the Yang Wengan incident, the military power in Li Shimin's hands is more stable than before, which made him finally sigh helplessly and said: "Wait a minute, King Qin has just made a contribution to quelling the rebellion, and his reputation is also extremely high, if the matter of the dismantling of the Tiance Mansion is mentioned now, I am afraid it will only cause more people to be dissatisfied." ”

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but King Qin's power cannot be unlimited, it is inconvenient to analyze the Tiance Mansion now, and you can also think of ways from other aspects, such as handing over some government affairs to King Qin!" Pei Lin suddenly smiled at this time, but this smile is a little sinister no matter how you look at it.

"Leave government affairs to the King of Qin?" Li Yuan couldn't help frowning when he heard Pei Lian's words, and then said with a puzzled expression, "Eunuch Pei, are you drunk, the King of Qin has the military power in his hands, if he hands over the government affairs to him again, what will the prince do in the future, I'm afraid that even I won't be able to contain the King of Qin in the future?" ”

"Hehe, how did Your Majesty forget, there is a saying in this world called 'If you want to take it first, you must give it first', King Qin wants to replace the prince, but now His Majesty has made it clear that he supports the prince, which is actually not a good thing, because this may force King Qin to do something irrational, such as this Yang Wengan incident, Lao Chen suspects that there may be a shadow of King Qin behind this, but unfortunately there is no evidence."

When Pei Lin said this, he paused for a moment and then said: "In this case, the minister feels that His Majesty does not have to be so anxious to show his support for the crown prince, but can hand over some government affairs to the King of Qin to deal with, but a person's energy is actually limited, and the King of Qin will naturally be a little negligent in terms of military power if he focuses on government affairs, which can also give His Majesty more room to weaken the strength of the King of Qin, so as not to cause a backlash." ”

Pei Lian's methods can not be described as unsophisticated, this trick 'if you want to take it first, you must give it first' also has the effect of attacking the west, although Li Shimin is shrewd, but he is too enthusiastic about the throne, which will also cause him to be easily deceived by some illusions.

Li Yuan couldn't help but show a contemplative expression after hearing this, and after a while, he finally spoke: "This is a good method, it is worth trying, speaking of which, the crown prince and the king of Qin are both my sons, and they are both equally good, but I want to establish a rule for future generations, so I can only be sorry for the son of the king of Qin!" ”

When it came to the end, Li Yuan also showed a gloomy look on his face, but Pei Lian, who was sitting opposite him, smiled secretly in his heart, he knew that although Li Yuan sometimes made some sighs for family affection, but he would never affect what he wanted to do because of family affection, otherwise any family affection would be trampled under his feet, but it was Li Yuan's characteristics that made him stand out among the heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, some people said that Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty mainly by his three outstanding sons and daughters, but they didn't want to think about it, children are so good, Not to mention their fathers?

But at this moment, I suddenly saw the palace people trotting in and reporting: "Your Majesty, the king of Anlu asks to see you!" ”

"Oh? How did Chengdao come about? Li Yuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but Li Chengdao was his favorite grandson, especially after the two sons continued to fight for power, which made him very upset, which also made him slowly transfer his feelings to these grandsons, so Li Yuan pondered for a moment and immediately ordered, "Let Chengdao come in!" ”

After a while, I saw Li Chengdao striding into the main hall, and then saluted Li Yuan very respectfully: "Grandson to meet the emperor's grandfather!" ”

"Haha~, you don't have to be polite, have you had dinner?" Seeing the well-behaved Li Chengdao, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, every time he saw this grandson, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Grandfather Qiyu, my grandson hasn't eaten yet, but I just want to report something to Grandfather Huang!" Li Chengdao replied, even he felt a little nervous when facing Li Yuan.

"It's just right that I didn't eat, hurry up and sit down to eat with my grandfather, let's talk while eating!" Li Yuan heard Li Chengdao's words and immediately spoke, and then ordered someone to prepare dishes and chopsticks, and put them next to him, so that Li Chengdao could eat at the same table with him.

Seeing this, Pei Lin couldn't help but glance at Li Chengdao with some surprise, this kind of gift is very rare even among the emperor's grandsons, as far as he knows, I'm afraid that only Li Chengdao has this treatment, which also proves that Li Yuan is almost determined to pass on the throne to Li Jiancheng, it seems that his choice is not wrong.

Li Chengdao sat beside Li Yuan very obediently, and after thanking his grandfather, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them unceremoniously, because in his opinion, this is a very natural thing, since he was sensible, as long as he came to his grandfather's place, he would let him eat with him when he met a meal, but he didn't know that except for him, his brothers or cousins did not have such treatment.

"Grandfather, I went to Mr. today, and I also helped Mr. harvest a batch of cabbage seeds, according to Mr., as long as this kind of cabbage is successfully cultivated, it can be stored for a winter, and then our people in Datang will have another kind of green vegetables to eat in winter." After Li Chengdao quickly ate half full, he raised his head and said to Li Yuandao.

"Oh? There is such a cabbage, isn't it as shelf-stable as a radish? Li Yuan also asked in surprise after hearing this, but he was surprised, vegetables are not food after all, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Yes, yes, Mr. also said that this cabbage is called Chinese cabbage, which is very huge, similar to a human head, and I and Cheng Qian helped Mr. do artificial pollination together." When Li Chengdao said the end, he couldn't help but show a proud expression, and he couldn't stop the pride in his heart when he thought that the people of the world would eat the Chinese cabbage he cultivated by himself in the future.

"Haha~, my grandson is amazing, but Li Xiu is really a talent, and I am afraid that he is the only one in the entire Datang who has this ability!" Li Yuan laughed again when he heard this, and then praised Li Xiu, speaking of which, he forced Li Xiu to get married last time, and he didn't have to worry about him and Princess Pingyang in the future, which made Li Yuan also think about whether to find something to do for Li Xiu, otherwise it would be too wasteful of his talent?

"It's not just that, today I'm at Mr.'s, no, to be exact, it should be my aunt's vegetable greenhouse, I saw a crop called sweet potato, according to Mr., this sweet potato is very high-yielding, and the yield per mu is even more than 1,000 catties, if it is popularized in the future, then I Datang will no longer have to worry about food shortage!" Li Chengdao's excited little face flushed at this time.

However, hearing Li Chengdao's above words, Li Yuan and Pei Lian, who was sitting below, both showed strange expressions, only to see the two of them look at each other, and they both saw very suspicious in each other's eyes, and after a long while, they saw Li Yuan and asked: "Chengdao, you can't be mistaken, how can there be a thousand catties of grain per mu in this world?" ”

"My grandson will never be mistaken, Mr. did say that he would yield thousands of catties per mu, and with his grandson's understanding of Mr., he would never talk nonsense if he was not sure!" Li Chengdao said with great certainty.

He already understood how important food was to a country, so after knowing the yield of sweet potatoes, he couldn't wait to come to tell Li Yuan, but unfortunately he didn't know that Li Xiu was not ready to tell Li Yuan about it, and he was to blame Li Xiu for being negligent, and he forgot to tell Li Chengdao to keep it secret for him.
