As the voice fell, a middle-aged man about thirty years old dressed in royal robes walked into the exhibition with a warm smile on his face, but when his smiling eyes swept over the ministers in the main hall, everyone stopped arguing. After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others, who had come to their senses, immediately saluted Li Su who came in and said, "Meet His Royal Highness the King of Qi!" ”

Although Li Su has already established a country overseas and claimed the emperor, he came back this time, not because of state affairs, but as a son, he came to visit his seriously ill father, so after returning to the Tang Dynasty, he still used the identity of the king of Tang Qi, which also avoided a lot of trouble, and it was also convenient to deal with some things.

"Sixth brother, you're finally here!" When he saw Li Zhi coming in, Li Zhi immediately stepped forward excitedly to greet him, just now he was dizzy by these quarreling ministers, and no matter how he persuaded him, it was useless, which made Li Zhi anxious, but he didn't expect that as soon as his sixth brother came in, these people immediately stopped, which made him feel that he had found the backbone all of a sudden.

Li Su smiled lightly and patted Li Zhi's shoulder, and then saluted Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong and other elders, and finally spoke: "I heard a lot of noise in the hall just now, so I made a little joke with everyone, I hope you don't blame it, but I'm also curious, what is it that makes you quarrel so fiercely?" ”

Hearing Li Su apologize first, and then ask about business, this made the people who felt that Li Su was a little frivolous just now also very convinced. Among them, Li Jingheng was the first to stand up and tell the whole story of this matter, in his opinion, Li Su will definitely stand firmly on the side of their industrial and commercial faction. So today they won, and even the eldest grandson Wuji and Yu Zhining have the same idea.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that. After listening to this, Li Su thought for a moment, and then said solemnly: "The population struggle between industry and commerce and agriculture. It is already related to the national capital of the Tang Dynasty, this is not an easy thing to draw conclusions, now that the father is in a coma, and the ninth brother is too young, so I think the discussion of this matter can be postponed, everyone goes back to weigh it well, and when it is time to think clearly, it is not too late to discuss it in the court! ”

Hearing Li Su's words that were obviously peaceful, Li Jingheng and the eldest grandson Wuji were stunned. I don't know why Li Su, who has always advocated vigorously promoting the development of industry and commerce, would say such a thing? Even Li Zhi next to him showed a surprised expression. Only Li Xiaogong, who was an old dragon, glanced up at Li Su, and his eyes also showed approval.

Although the two groups of people didn't understand why Li Su made such a peaceful move, but since the other party had already spoken, and looking at the way it was today, it was useless for the two sides to quarrel any longer, so in the end, both sides had to listen to Li Su's words, among which the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jingheng said a few polite words that were not salty or light, and the entire court meeting was dispersed.

See everyone retreat. Only Li Su and Li Zhi were left in the main hall, and at this time, Li Zhi asked a little impatiently: "Sixth brother, why are you ......?"

However, as soon as Li Zhi's words came out, he was immediately interrupted by Li Zhi waving his hand: "Don't ask yet." I'll explain when everyone comes! ”

"People? Who? Li Zhi couldn't help but ask again. But before he could finish speaking, he saw the little yellow door in the palace come forward to report, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia. Li Jingheng, the head of the household, asked to see him together.

"Hahaha~, Rokuro, you're finally back. If you don't come back, I'm afraid that Brother Wang and I will never see you again! As soon as Li Daozong entered the main hall. Immediately laughed and said. He still looks chubby back then, and he is very similar to Li Jingheng like father and son.

"The demeanor of the two uncles is still the same, where is half old, and I heard that Uncle Jiangxia Wang has added a little brother to Brother Jingheng, it is really old and strong!" Li Su first saluted Li Xiaogong and the others, and then made a joke about Li Daozong.

Li Daozong is only two years younger than Li Shimin, and he is also nearly sixty years old, but what no one expected is that one of his concubines gave birth to another son to him last year, which made Li Daozong very excited, and boasted to others everywhere.

Then Li Su chatted with Li Xiaogong and Li Jingheng for a few more gossips, and they also saluted Li Zhi by the way, and then everyone sat down separately, and the topic began to turn to business.

"Liulang, why didn't you help us just now, so that we can also suppress the eldest grandson Wuji and them?" Li Jingheng was the first to ask.

However, after hearing this, Li Su smiled lightly: "Brother Jing Heng, do you think it is useful to press down the eldest grandson Wuji in the court?" ”

"Why didn't it work? As long as the eldest grandson Wuji and the others no longer obstruct it, we can reform some of the existing unreasonable systems in Datang, so that Datang's industry and commerce can be raised to a higher level, not to mention that the treasury revenue alone can increase by a large margin. Li Jingheng said with some unconvincing.

However, as soon as Li Jingheng's words fell, Li Xiaogong suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "Jingheng, what you said is good, but in your opinion, even if you overpower the limelight of the eldest grandson Wuji in the court today, with the other party's position, will you be allowed to reform?" ”

"Uh~, this ......" Li Jingheng was asked at once, the eldest grandson's family is mainly planted, in addition to having a large field in the south, it also has a large area of cotton field in the northwest and other places, which requires a large number of manpower.

In addition, if Datang wants to reform, it is not only the introduction of slaves, but also related to other aspects, such as the standardization of commercial competition, etc., and like the eldest grandson, their families often like to rely on power to oppress people, not only monopolizing the supply of some raw materials, but also manipulating prices behind the scenes, in order to make huge profits, if the Tang Dynasty carries out reforms, the first thing to move is the interests of the eldest grandson headed by the powerful interests, so no matter what aspect it is, it is impossible for the eldest grandson Wuji to let them carry out the reform smoothly.

Thinking about this, Li Jingheng couldn't help but feel like a deflated ball, and the whole person became listless, just now he was still arguing with the eldest grandson Wuji with fighting spirit, but now that he thinks about it, those arguments don't have much meaning at all, no matter who wins or loses, it won't change anything at all.

Seeing Li Jingheng's deflated appearance, Li Jing couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, speaking of which, Li Jingheng is a master of financial management, but he is a little worse in terms of political vision, if Xu Jingzong or Li Yifu are replaced in his position, he will definitely not be so-for-tat with the eldest grandson Wuji for a while.

At this time, Li Zhi finally understood, and he couldn't help but admire the sixth brother even more in his heart. In addition, he also guessed that his uncle must have understood the truth, but in the face of Li Jingheng's repeated provocations by the junior, he could never back down with his identity, so he quarreled with the other party in the court regardless of his identity.

Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong mainly came to see Li Su, and then chatted a few more homely words, especially Li Xiaogong asked about his son Li Yong's current situation, and then the two of them took Li Jingheng to leave. After all, they also knew that Li Su came to see Li Zhi and must have something to say to Li Zhi.

After sending off Li Xiaogong and the others, Li Su and Li Zhi came to the study behind the Mingde Palace, and then the two of them sat on the wide sofa casually.

"Ninth brother, how do you feel about today's events?" Li Su sat down and looked at Li Zhi for a moment, and suddenly asked with a warm smile.

After hearing this, Li Su showed a wry smile, and then said helplessly: "What else can you feel, the two groups of people are quarreling non-stop because of their own interests, and one side is dominated by my uncle, and the other side represents the royal family and emerging industrial and commercial owners, when my father was in the past, they could still suppress them, but now as soon as my father falls ill, they are going to make a fuss!" ”

After hearing this, Li Su glanced at Li Zhi approvingly, and then said: "Yes, yes, ninth brother, you can see this, which shows that you have really been interested in the government in the past few years, and now your biggest problem is the lack of prestige, the court is full of old ministers from the period of the emperor, and there is no one who can really do things for you, so it is time to transfer Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu back!" ”

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were personally arranged by Li Shimin at the beginning, so that they could go to Daqi to take up their posts while learning the administrative structure and operation methods of Daqi, in order to leave it to Li Zhi, so that he could have some effective manpower in the reform of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi also heard Li Shimin talk about Xu Jingzong and them, so after hearing Li Su's suggestion, he thought about it for a while but said with some hesitation: "Sixth brother, my father is still in a coma, I am in such a hurry to transfer Xu Jingzong and them back, is it ......?"

Li Zhi didn't say the following words, and Li Zhi immediately understood what he meant. However, I saw that Li Su sighed and said: "Ninth brother, my father's injury is too serious, even if you can wake up, I am afraid you will no longer be able to deal with government affairs, so from now on, you must learn to face the political situation in the court independently, and install your own henchmen among the courtiers, this is only the first step!" ”

Li Zhi also lowered his head after hearing this, he actually knew Li Shimin's condition, but he didn't dare to face it in his heart, and even sometimes fantasized that one day Li Shimin would be able to fully recover, so that he wouldn't have to worry about these annoying things like before.

Seeing that Li Zhi lowered his head and didn't speak, Li Zhi also knew that he didn't want to face the reality, and when he just wanted to persuade him, he suddenly thought of something in his heart, and immediately said: "Ninth brother, there is something you may not know, before I went to Taiwan for the first time, I had an agreement with the eldest grandson Wuji. ”

"Oh? What ......"

Just as Li Zhi raised his head curiously, wanting to ask about the content of the agreement between Li Su and the eldest grandson Wuji, suddenly a small yellow door hurriedly ran in, and shouted to the two of them with a look of surprise: "The two highnesses are overjoyed, Your Majesty is awake!"
