Chapter 211: I can't help it

Wang An's arrival finally relieved Li Su, firstly, he was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, which made Xiao Yu, who valued his family very much, attach great importance to him, and secondly, Xiao Yu's eldest daughter-in-law, that is, Mrs. Wang, the mother-in-law in the name of Wenxin, was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, so Xiao Yu was very enthusiastic about Wang An, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to Li Su.

After being polite for a while, Xiao Yu didn't forget what Wang An said when he came in just now, so he quickly asked, "Qiu Hong, you just said that Liulang has a last resort, but I don't know what this hardship is?" ”

Qiu Hong is Wang An's character, Xiao Yu's daughter-in-law Mrs. Wang and Wang An are the same generation, so Wang An is also Xiao Yu's junior, so Xiao Luo called each other's words.

"This ......" Wang An said this, glanced at Wen Xin next to him, and then turned his head to Xiao Yu and smiled, "Old Duke Xiao, there is a garden on the right side of the Qi Palace, and there are just a few plum blossoms in full bloom, why don't we set up wine and food in the warmth of the garden, how about we drink and talk while appreciating the plum blossoms?" ”

Xiao Yu thought that Wang An had something to say in front of his granddaughter, and the other party was obviously Li Su's confidant, and he must know the beginning and end of everything, since this is the case, then there is no need for Li Su to explain it himself, and Xiao Yu also knows that Li Su, this kid, has too many ghost eyes, and he may be fooled by the other party if he is not careful, so it is more reassuring for Wang An, who was born in a famous family, to explain. Thinking of this, Xiao Yu no longer shirked, turned around and taught Li Su a few more words, and then left.

Seeing Xiao Yu leave, Li Su and Wen Xin were both relieved, and Wen Xin said apologetically: "Husband, grandfather's temper is stubborn. What he said just now was a bit heavy, Wen Xin is here to make amends to you on his behalf! ”

Wen Xin said, Ying Ying saluted Li Su, but Li Su immediately picked him up, only to see him also said with a wry smile: "Wen Xin, you and I are husband and wife, why do you say these foreign words." And it's not the first time I've learned about my grandfather's temper, and although he speaks straighter, it's also out of concern for us. I know all of this. ”

Hearing her husband's words, and seeing the expression on his face again, Wen Xin couldn't help but smile. There are not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can make Li Su so deflated, and his grumpy grandfather is one of them.

Wen Xin is now at the age of seventeen, not only has her body grown up, but her appearance is becoming more and more beautiful, under this smile, it is like a deep valley orchid blooming, so that Li Su, who has long been accustomed to her beauty, can't help but be stunned, and there is a trace of indescribable tenderness in her heart.

I saw Li Su's arm stretched out and took Wen Xin in his arms. As a result, Wen Xin, who was not prepared in the slightest, was taken aback, although they were husband and wife. But this is the main hall and not the inner house, not only are there maids next to it, but someone may break in at any time, so this makes Wen Xin extremely uncomfortable, struggling to get up. At the same time, he also said coquettishly: "Husband~, let go quickly, this is the main hall!" ”

"Haha~, what's wrong with the hall, this is our home, you can do whatever you want for your husband!" Li Su didn't pay any attention to Wenxin's struggle. Hold him and sit on his lap. And the maids next to them were also very interested, snickering and turning around, and at the same time, someone went to the door of the main hall to guard in case outsiders broke in.

Wen Xin couldn't struggle, and when he saw the reaction of the maid in the palace, he relieved himself and sat down in his arms along Li Su, but his face was still red and fluttering, and he looked very cute.

It's just that Li Su looked at the cute Wen Xin in his arms, but his face slowly became solemn, and finally he sighed slowly, and asked very solemnly: "Wen Xin, do you blame me?" ”

Wen Xin looked puzzled after hearing this, and asked, "Why would my husband ask like this, what do I blame you?" ”

Looking at Wen Xin with an innocent face in his arms, Li Su took a long breath and said in a heavy tone: "Wen Xin, with my ability, I do have a great confidence in inheriting the throne of the Tang Dynasty, but for this low-hanging fruit position, I took the initiative to give up, which also makes you miss out on the position of the mother in the world, do you really not blame me at all?" ”

At first, Wen Xin's face was still a little smiling, but after listening to her husband's words, her face became very solemn, and after sitting up as straight as possible, she replied: "Husband, you and I have been husband and wife for two years, don't you still know what Wen Xin thinks?" No matter what you want to do, then do it boldly, although I can't help much, but husband, you have to remember that even if the whole world doesn't understand you, Wenxin will always stand behind you and support you! ”

Wen Xin didn't give any of the following answers to Li Su's question, but the meaning she expressed in her words made Li Su feel a sense of blood boiling, and what if the whole world didn't understand him? It's enough to have a literate heart! Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but tighten his arms again.

In addition, Li Su also thought that some time ago he was seriously ill, Wen Xin almost worked day and night in order to take care of himself, and even the dark circles under his eyes came out, and then he was just sick, but he was busy with the Winter Games, and he didn't have time to accompany her and Xijun more, which made Li Su feel even more guilty.

If you have guilt, you have to make amends, although there are still many people outside who want to see, but Li Su simply pretended to be deaf and didn't see anyone outside, and then concentrated on accompanying Wen Xin for an afternoon, at dinner, the two of them also rushed to Xijun, and the three of them had a lively meal, and then Li Su stayed with Wenxin there to accompany Xijun, but he went to the study in the front yard.

When Li Su pushed open the door of the study, Wang An was already sitting there drinking tea. I saw him walk up with a smile, pick up another teacup and take a sip, and then he said with a smile: "Wang Fu has worked hard!" ”

After hearing this, Wang An showed a rare wry smile and said: "Old Duke Xiao's temper is really worthy of his reputation!" ”

Li Yu laughed out loud after hearing this, with Xiao Yu's stinky temper, Wang An was able to persuade the other party to leave, which in itself also shows Wang An's talent. But before Li Su finished laughing, he heard Wang An say again: "Your Highness, don't be too happy, before Old Duke Xiao leaves, let me tell you on his behalf, saying that Your Highness, you owe them a queen of the Lanling Xiao family!" ”

As a result, when Li Su heard this, he laughed even harder. The reason why Xiao Yu is so angry today is that in addition to being really anxious for Li Su, there is also an important reason, that is, the position of the queen who originally belonged to Wenxin has also flown away.

I think their Lanling Xiao clan was originally a royal family, but since the Liang was extinguished, their Xiao clan has declined, and it was not until later that a former Sui Xiao Empress came out again, and the two outstanding characters Xiao Milling and Xiao Yu emerged, but Xiao Milling's Southern Liang has been extinguished, Xiao Yu's age is also old, but there has been no person in the Lanling Xiao clan who can carry the Liang, if Wen Xin can sit on the throne of the queen, then for their Xiao Clan, it is simply an opportunity to rise again, even within a few decades, can ensure that they Xiao will not leave the political core of the Tang Dynasty. But this hope was dashed when Li Yu took the initiative to remove the throne, and it is no wonder that Xiao Yu has such a big temper.

Seeing Li Su smiling so happily, Wang An also shook his head while laughing, Xiao Yu is famous for his uprightness, but in the face of family interests, he still can't help but expose his true nature, it seems that there is really no one in this world who is not motivated!

However, after the two laughed, Wang An pondered for a while, and his face turned solemn and asked: "Your Highness, you have the courage and determination to give up the throne, which makes me admire it very much, but do you know that you are doing this, it is simply easy to give up?" ”

Wang An also only found out about this matter yesterday, but with the help of Li Su, he had already recognized the nature of capital, so he didn't make a fuss like others, but he felt a little pity in his heart.

When Li Su heard Wang An's words, his face also showed a trace of melancholy, and after a long while, he spoke: "Wang Fu, in this world, you are the only one who can understand my move to give up the throne, and even my father and emperor have only guessed part of it, because he doesn't know at all that after the development of industry and commerce, capital has begun to show its strength, and I can even say that I can't help it!" ”

Wang An was also speechless after hearing this, Li Su said that he couldn't help it, this is indeed a fact, in fact, when he was mining carboniferous, he had slowly embarked on a road of no return, because at that time, with the development of industry and commerce, the problem of manpower became more and more prominent, and the solution to this solution was either to increase the pressure on the existing workers, or to increase the number of workers. Li Su did not want to let the people of his country be oppressed, so he had to try his best to catch slaves, the battle of Goguryeo seems to be accidental, in fact, the real reason is that it is precisely because the Guizhou capitalists in the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty urgently need a large number of slaves to develop industry and commerce, so they promoted the outbreak of the war.

Now with the increasing prosperity of the Datang slave industry, the manpower problem has been well alleviated, but another problem has slowly surfaced, that is, the problem of the sales of industrial and commercial products, although the Datang has a large population, but its own digestion capacity is limited, the more prosperous the industry and commerce, the more products will be produced, if so many products do not want to be sold, the final result can only cause the economic crisis of the Datang version.

Although Li Su did not know the consequences of the economic crisis in Datang, he was sure that it would definitely cause instability among all levels of society, and even armed conflicts would break out, so in order to solve this problem, he began to design new sea ships early on, and actively developed new shipping routes, in order to enhance Datang's overseas trade.

However, if he just wants to open up overseas trade, but he doesn't need Li Su to push off the throne at all, the reason why he made such an unexpected move is that he has a more long-term plan, although his idea may be a little too unfounded in the eyes of others, but Li Su knows that if he is greedy for temporary comfort and speed, and takes over the throne of the Tang Dynasty, then I am afraid that it will bring greater turmoil to the country in the future!
