Chang'an, Imperial Palace.

Li Yuan got the letter played by Li Chengzong, and he didn't know whether it was true or false for a while, and he still called Pei Lin and Xiao Yu into the palace at night.

Li Chengzong's performance is folded, and the central meaning is one, everything I do is for the emperor's grandfather.

Merchants have not been in the flow since ancient times, but merchants can get very rich.

I originally wanted to inform the imperial court about the method of making sea salt, but after thinking about it, it would be detrimental to the power of heaven to let the emperor's grandfather handle the businessman's affairs, so I did it myself.

I didn't ask for any of the income from the Pingzhou Salt Farm, and all of it was used to recruit troops for the emperor's grandfather.

The 12,000 cavalry was ready to be dedicated to the emperor's grandfather, but because there were too many thieves who wanted to steal the method of salt production, they had to be temporarily put in Pingzhou.

As for the property obtained from the sale of Haiyan, in addition to recruiting troops and horses to train weapons, it is actually already on the way to Chang'an, and it will arrive in a few days.

It is unwise for the court to suggest that the method of salt production should be dedicated to the imperial court.

Just imagine, even in a small place like Pingzhou, there are people who have hollowed out their minds to steal the method of salt production. If the method of making salt is dedicated to the imperial court, the relationship between the court and the court is complicated, and the method of making sea salt will spread.

At that time, Guan Long and Shandong Shi clan gate valves will take the opportunity to make a lot of money, and it will be too late to regret it.

All in all, whoever says that Li Chengzong raised troops to respect himself is purely framed.

Whoever suggested that the method of making sea salt should be dedicated to the imperial court, thereby cheapening the gate lords of the scholar clan, would be a mistake to the country.

After reading Pei Lin and Xiao Yu, they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.

The two thought to themselves: "Regardless of whether what the King of Taiyuan said is true or not, anyway, he has hit Li Yuan's sore spot, the gate valve of the Shi clan." ”

Although Li Yuan started by relying on the gate valve of the Shi clan, he hated the gate valve of the Shi clan.

If it was really as Li Chengzong said, the method of making sea salt was obtained by them, then Li Yuan would never be able to stand it.

Li Yuan said: "I think what Chengzong said is quite reasonable, what do you think?" ”

You're all right, what else can we say? The two said helplessly.

Pei Lin spoke first and said: "What the king of Taiyuan said is true, there are many people from the upper and lower clans of the court. Once the method of making sea salt reaches the imperial court, it is really not safe. ”

Xiao Yu said: "If the Pingzhou Salt Farm is really as the king of Taiyuan said, it is also good. But I think it's better for the Holy One to send someone to supervise it. ”

If Li Chengzong was present, he would definitely have the urge to crush Xiao Yu to death.

You old bastard, I owe you money or smash your pot, so ruin me.

Li Yuan actually already had an idea in his heart, but Xiao Yu's suggestion made him more determined.

No matter whether Li Chengzong is telling the truth or not, he personally sent someone to watch it, which is equivalent to indirectly taking charge of the entire salt farm, and there is nothing to worry about.

"Then according to what Xiao Aiqing said, as for the method of making sea salt, don't hand it over to the imperial court." Li Yuan said with a smile.

Pei Lin said again: "Hebei is really the land of the four wars, although the king of Taiyuan County is young, but the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall is an ancient precept." I suggest that Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, be appointed as the governor of Hebei. ”

Xiao Yu thought to herself, what's wrong with Pei Lin today? actually gave such a desperate idea to the emperor, he was not afraid that the crown prince Li Jiancheng would hold a grudge?

Pei Lian, who was standing on the side, was even more depressed in his heart, and said in his heart: "Li Shimin, Li Shimin, I even gave up my life to help you, and you can't forget my great kindness in the future!" ”

Of course, despite such a notice, Pei Lin didn't want to really turn himself into King Qin's faction.

First, offended the crown prince Li Jiancheng. Second, Li Yuan will inevitably have a lot of suspicions against him, and you will be able to repay the fact that a minister of the court and the central government secretly colluded with the king of Qin.

Pei Lin looked at Li Yuan thoughtfully, and then said: "Recruiting the king of Taiyuan County to return to Beijing, Li Shentong as the governor of Hebei is definitely not a minister with any selfish motives. It's just that the king of Taiyuan is too young, and Hebei is too dangerous. Please make your judgment clear. ”

Li Yuan said: "But since Chengzong became the governor of Hebei, he has not made any mistakes, and you asked me to remove him from his post on reasonable grounds and recall Chang'an?" ”

Pei Xiao slowed down and said: "The old minister thinks that since the Battle of Luoyang, the king of Taiyuan County has said that it is a great achievement to surrender Wang Shichong and exterminate Liu Heimin in Hebei. It is better to crown the king of Jin and open a mansion to build a government. ”

Xiao Yu said secretly: "You old fox, you can't be offended." not only flattered King Qin, but also did not make the crown prince Li Jiancheng hold a grudge, which was really high enough. ”

Li Yuan thought to himself that the Li family had a grandchild who could fight well, which made him really happy. Hebei is indeed a place of four wars, which is very dangerous, and secondly, it is not a good thing that the prince's power is too inflated. Besides, calling Li Chengzong back is not also crowned the title of King of Jin, it is also a great kindness.

Li Yuan said: "I think Pei Aiqing's words are very kind, so it's better to let my good grandson come back to me." ”

Xiao Yu stood up and said: "When the king of Taiyuan returns to Chang'an, how will the more than 30,000 soldiers under the king of the county be settled, will they stay in Hebei or make other arrangements?" I don't know if Master Pei has a good plan? ”

Pei Lin scolded secretly, you are trying to harm me.

Li Yuan looked at Pei Lian.

Pei Lin said: "Didn't it be said in the letter of the king of Taiyuan that the soldiers and horses under the command of the king of the county were all trained by His Majesty. Naturally, it should be up to His Majesty to decide. ”

Xiao Yu said secretly: "It's really a fox." ”

"Hebei is not very peaceful, so it is good to hand over the soldiers and horses to Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an. As for the 12,000 cavalry, they still stayed in Pingzhou to protect the salt works. ”

In the middle of the night, a small pilgrimage meeting in the palace ended.

Li Yuan was naturally happy to go and have fun with the concubine.

Pei Lin and Xiao Yu each had a mind and quit the palace.

East Palace.

After Li Jiancheng received the news from the palace, he inevitably had joys and sorrows.

Of course, the joy is that his son has become a prince.

The sad nature is that the 30,000 soldiers in Hebei are gone.

But after thinking about it again, I think this business is not cost-effective!

Although Hebei is dangerous, it is better because the territory is large enough and the population is large enough. Moreover, Li Chengzong defeated Liu Heimin, which is also famous in Hebei, and he spent a lot of money to equip a strong army, so it would be a pity to lose it like this.

Li Jiancheng thought to himself, is he fighting for it?

But after hesitation, he gave up. After all, the emperor can't say how much suspicion he has about himself, and he is not very relieved, if he fights for Li Chengzong to stay in Hebei, he will inevitably be caught by Li Shimin again, and if he is suspected by the emperor again, it will be worth the loss.

Qin Wangfu.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Master Pei really has a way, and he recruited Li Chengzong back in a few words." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "The 30,000 soldiers in Hebei are gone, and the prince may be in pain for a while." ”

Fang Xuanling on the side was not so happy, he said: "King Qin, don't forget, the emperor also gave Li Chengzong the position of king of Jin, and even allowed him to open a mansion and build a government. ”

Li Shimin said: "It's just some vanity, how can you have 30,000 heavy soldiers at your wrist, and you can afford to come from Hebei?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "If it's someone else, it's okay." But Li Chengzong, the king of Taiyuan County, is not an idle person, I am afraid that he will have some tricks. For example, the matter of the Pingzhou salt factory, he just played a letter, and spent it lightly. ”

Yes!

Li Shimin knew that he was happy, but he forgot that Li Chengzong had forced him into an embarrassing situation several times. That kid has a lot of ghosts, and it's not easy to deal with!

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes turned left and right, and he wanted to say······
