Chapter 208: The Dust Settles

Li Yuan didn't stay in Li Xiu's house for too long, and after listening to Li Xiu's idea of the grassland strategy, he didn't say anything special, just praised Li Xiu and then left with Princess Pingyang, which made Li Xiu feel a little inexplicable, and couldn't figure out what Li Yuan was planning?

However, Li Xiu didn't have time to waste too much time on Li Yuan, and when it was almost dark, Yuechan had already finished the cans, mainly because the ceramic jars collected by Li Xiu were all used up, if you want to produce canned food on a large scale in the future, I am afraid you will also need a special ceramic workshop, but this kind of supporting workshop does not need to be built by yourself, you only need to find a ceramic workshop with sufficient scale to cooperate, and there is no need to make the ceramics too exquisite, it is enough to be sealed and breathable.

The canned food is ready, Li Xiu must test their preservation effect on food, now the weather is too cold, and the effect of canned food cannot be shown at room temperature, but this is also difficult to **** Hugh, he divided the canned food into three parts, one part was sent to the greenhouse, where it was hot and humid, it was the harshest environment to detect canned food, and one part was placed in the warm bedroom, where the temperature was high, but it was relatively dry, and the other part was placed in the kitchen, where the temperature difference changed greatly, and it was also a test for canned food.

Just when Li Xiu was busy testing the effect of canned food, Li Yuan stayed at Princess Pingyang until it was getting late, and then said goodbye to his beloved daughter and returned to the palace.

However, with the approach of Chang'an, Li Yuan's mood slowly became heavy, and the disputes in the court still continued, even if he, the emperor, could not be calmed down if he wanted to, as long as the matter of splitting the Tiance Mansion was not determined for a day, then this kind of dispute would continue.

Chang'an City is getting closer and closer, the tall Mingde Gate is already far away, looking at the tall gatehouse in front of him, Li Yuan suddenly remembered that when he first entered Chang'an after being called the emperor, he was riding on a horse, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng followed closely behind him, and the father and son also entered the city from Mingde Gate in high spirits, and officially settled in Taiji Palace, but since then, his two most important sons are no longer as harmonious as before, and even from the secret fight to the current open contention, even he, the father, Sometimes I feel like I can't hold it down.

"Humph! This country is mine! The whole world is also mine, I give it to you, you can take it, I don't give it, no one wants to stretch out their hands! Li Xiu suddenly raised his eyebrows at this time, and said to himself in a cold tone, and the moment he entered the Mingde Gate, he suddenly made a decision!

At that moment, Li Yuan galloped from Suzaku Street, but he did not return to the palace, but went straight to the vicinity of Dongshi, and finally came to a very luxurious mansion, at this time the sky was completely dark, and a tall lantern had been lit in front of the mansion, illuminating the plaque on the gatehouse, with two big characters "Pei Fu" written on it, which was the home of Pei Lian, who was known as the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan asked people to come forward to call the door, and when the steward of the gate saw Li Yuan, he immediately invited him into the mansion, and quickly ran to the inner house to report to his master, and after a while, he saw Pei Lin in a hurry in civilian clothes to salute and said: "Minister Pei Lin to meet Your Majesty!" ā€

"Eunuch Pei doesn't have to be polite, let's go to the study to talk in detail!" Li Yuan said to Pei Lin at the moment, he usually comes to Pei Lian's mansion, sometimes to talk to old friends, and sometimes because of some government affairs, so he is also very familiar with Pei Lian's mansion, and when there is any important government affairs, he goes to Pei Lian's study to talk.

Pei Lian's heart was also moved when he heard this, during this time, he was able to let Li Yuan come here in person, and he had to go to the study to discuss in detail, I am afraid that the only thing is whether to break up the Tiance Mansion, and I heard that His Majesty went out for an afternoon today, can it be said that he has already made a decision?

Pei Lin is worthy of being Li Yuan's close friend, and almost in an instant he guessed Li Yuan's thoughts, and the two of them came to the study and closed the door, and there were guards in the palace outside, and then I saw Li Yuan ponder for a moment before he said to Pei Yuan: "Supervisor Pei, the matter of dismantling the Tiance Mansion has been quarreled for too long, and I have not had the opportunity to ask your opinion alone during this time, I don't know what you think about this matter?" ā€

Speaking of which, although the court is very noisy, but as the head of the prime minister, Pei Lin has not expressed a clear opinion, although Li Yuan has made a decision in his heart, but he still wants to hear Pei Lian's opinion, in fact, whenever he hesitates, he likes to listen to Pei Lian's old friend's opinion, which has almost become his habit, and sometimes Pei Lian's opinion can even influence his decision, which is also the main reason why Pei Lin can be called the first minister of the Tang Dynasty.

When Pei Lin and Li Yuan met, the other party had just married Queen Dou, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had not yet been born at that time, and later the two worked together in Taiyuan, which deepened their relationship, and Pei Lin knew Li Yuan's character better than anyone else, which also made him easily guess Li Yuan's thoughts, it can be said that no one in this world knows Li Yuan better than him.

I saw that after Pei Lin heard Li Yuan's question, his eyes stared at him for a while, and finally he suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, as for the pros and cons of whether to split the Tiance Mansion, the ministers in the court have already analyzed it very clearly in the quarrel, but the ministers only have one sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not?" ā€

"What?" Li Yuan was also shocked when he heard this.

"The world is decided, Your Majesty has worked hard to call the country, and you still need someone to help you defend the country and the country that is too late!" Pei Lin stared at Li Yuan with a torch, and said in a slow tone, this sentence also represents his position and choice.

Li Yuan also showed a contemplative expression when he heard this, Pei Lian's words had actually answered his words from the side, he said that the world was decided, and naturally there was no need for Tiance Mansion to control the military power of the world, after all, it was to facilitate the use of troops before, so that most of the military power was concentrated in the hands of Li Shimin, but the current situation is no longer suitable for this, otherwise it will affect the stability of the imperial court, so it is also time for the imperial court to withdraw the military power.

In addition, Pei Lian's later words are more straightforward, everyone knows that the prince is good at government affairs, and he said in his words that Li Yuan needs a person who guards the country, in fact, he is advised not to hesitate in the matter of establishing a prince, after all, no matter from which point of view, Li Jiancheng is more qualified and capable than the people.

I saw Li Yuan pondering for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Pei Jian's words are deeply in my heart, originally I have decided to split up the Tiance Mansion, but Erlang came back and begged me bitterly, and the result made me soften my heart all of a sudden, and the decision in my heart was also shaken, but today I went to Pingyang, and on the way back, I also suddenly realized that just like you said, this world is the result of my hard work, and naturally I have to hand it over to a more suitable person to take my place!" ā€

"Your Majesty is wise!" Pei Lin couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this, his judgment was really correct, although Li Yuan almost didn't say anything when he saw him, but with a superhuman intuition, he still found that Li Yuan was likely to make a decision to favor Li Jiancheng, in fact, before this, Li Yuan had already been biased towards Li Jiancheng, which Pei Yuan could see more clearly than anyone else.

"But it's not so easy to split the Tiance Mansion, Eunuch Pei, do you have any good way?" Li Yuan suddenly spoke again at this time, this was the main reason why he came to Pei Lian, after all, he only needed to make a decision, as for how to complete this matter, it was up to Pei Lian's ministers to operate.

"Your Majesty, King Qin's prestige in the army is very high, and the Tiance Mansion must not be completely split all at once, the best way is to cut off the military power in the hands of King Qin little by little, and at the same time gradually transfer the henchmen and generals under King Qin, although this will cause King Qin's dissatisfaction, but at least it will not force him into a desperate situation all at once." Pei Lin said again, once he made a choice, he would no longer have any mercy for Li Shimin.

"Yes, I have the same plan, since this is the case, then there is Lao Peijian You think about it carefully and see where to start?" Li Yuan stood up at this time and said with a cold expression, at this time he was just an emperor who thought about the country, and as for the relationship between father and son, he was completely forgotten.

"No! The minister will no longer have His Majesty's high hopes! Pei Ju immediately agreed when he heard this, which also made Li Yuan nod, Pei Lin was the person he trusted the most, and even this trust exceeded the trust in his two sons, so he was completely at ease with Pei Lian.

The purpose of coming to see Pei Lin has been achieved, Li Yuan suddenly felt very tired, this tiredness is not only physical, but the kind of tiredness from the inside out, at the moment Li Yuan also wanted to stand up and go back to the palace, but at this time, he suddenly thought of one more thing, so he asked Pei Lin again: "Pei Jian, you must have heard of Li Xiu, right?" ā€

"Hehe, one of the most famous and talented sons in Chang'an City, he was recruited by the King of Qin and the crown prince before, but he had no intention of becoming famous, and finally only hung a sacrificial wine name from Princess Pingyang, so as to push away the solicitation of the King of Qin and the prince, such a person can't hear about it!" Pei Lin also suddenly smiled when he heard Li Xiu's name, if you look closely, you can even see a little indescribable meaning from his smile.

"I didn't expect Pei Jian to be so clear about Li Xiu, I used to think that he was a young man with some talent, but after seeing him today, I found that I really underestimated him......" Li Yuan said and told Li Xiu about the experience of seeing Li Xiu today, and also explained in detail the canned food invented by Li Xiu, as well as Li Xiu's strategic planning for the grassland, which made Pei Xiao also shocked after hearing it, and he didn't expect that a young man could have such ideas and talents.

However, after the shock, Pei Lin suddenly thought of something about Li Xiu, and couldn't help whispering to himself: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" (To be continued.) )
