Golden autumn September, is the time of fish fat in the lake, in the back garden of the palace of Si Yu City, there are several pools of lake water with a small area, when there is nothing to do during this time, Li Su will drive a small boat, fishing on the lake, his fishing skills were very poor before, but after this period of practice and learning, it has risen a lot, plus there are many fish in the lake, so every time you can return with a full load.

"Your Highness, although there are many fish in this lake, there is still a gap compared to the small lake in the Chang'an Palace, at least the fish in the palace are much fatter than here." Wang An took off a carp that he had caught and said to Li Su with a smile while putting it in the bucket next to him.

After Wang An stabilized the general situation of the Wa Kingdom, he handed over the rest of the affairs to other palace officials, after all, Li Su's territory is expanding too fast, and there will be more places that need to be managed in the future, and only he and Lu Hong, Zhao Fu and a few others can't manage it, so as long as there is an opportunity, he will try to hand over some things to the officials below to do, hoping to cultivate a group of usable talents.

Li Su laughed when he heard Wang An's words: "Wang Fu, you are too greedy, the fish in the palace of Chang'an are all fattened by the princess, but the palace over there is not as good as the palace here, just in this back garden, there are five or six lakes, although the princess likes to raise fish, but she also has no time to raise the fish in several lakes, so although the fish in this lake are not fatter than those in Chang'an, they are also wild, and the taste is stronger than that of the family!" ”

After Li Su finished speaking, he was still very focused on fishing, but Wang An next to him glanced at him with a worried look, and when he found that Li Su had no special reaction, there was also a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

At this time. Li Su suddenly felt that the fishing rod in his hand sank, and the fish had already taken the bait. And from the strength of the hand, this fish is not small. Hurry up at the moment. Then slowly reel in the line along the strength of the fish, and after a while, a big black fish jumping around was lifted to the boat.

At this time, Wang An also came to help, and the two took the fish off the hook together, and then put it in the bucket, the black fish is a kind of carnivorous fish, the meat is very delicious, Li Su doesn't like to eat fish very much, but this kind of black fish can still eat some.

Wang An saw that Li Su had caught a black fish. also showed a smile and said: "Your Highness's luck is really good today, you actually caught such a big black fish, speaking of which can make the black fish well, it is an old shop on the side of the Qujiang Pond in Chang'an City, although the store is not big, and there is only a family of three in the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper has a good skill in roasting fish, if this black fish can let him manipulate it, it must be a rare delicacy." It's a pity that it is now thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to taste the fresh fatty fish by the Qujiang Pond! ”

Hearing Wang An's emotion, Li Su finally heard some other meanings from it, and after a little thought, he understood what was going on. laughed at the moment: "Wang Fu, you have led to Chang'an several times today, if it is Lu Hong, it will be enough." Do you even want to persuade me to go back to Chang'an to fight for that throne? ”

Since the news of Li Chengqian's rebellion reached Si Xuan, those people under Li Cheng suddenly came to their senses. Although Li Su took the initiative to withdraw from the struggle for the throne, the situation is now special. The crown prince was deposed because of rebellion, but the remaining Wei king was unexpected, and the call for Li Su in the government and the opposition was extremely high, if he could rush back to Chang'an at this time, then it was very likely to get the crown prince.

It is precisely because of this intention that the civil officials are mainly Lu Hong and Zhao Fu, and the military generals are mainly Su Dingfang and Lu Qing.

However, Li Su is his own bitterness, he doesn't want to go back to stay in Chang'an City, even if he really sits on the emperor, but if he wants to realize his ideals, he must first carry out reforms in all aspects of Datang, with the vastness of Datang, if he wants to complete the reform successfully, he doesn't know if the time in this life is enough, not to mention that in the process of reform, he will encounter all kinds of resistance, if he is not careful, he may not even be able to sit firmly in the emperor's seat, so if he is not forced to the last step, He will never sit on the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that Li Su has always been vague about the persuasion of the following people, and Lu Hong and these people don't dare to say it too clearly, so there is no way, but two days ago, Lu Hong and Hu Li and others went to see Wen Xin, hoping to let her persuade Li Su, but Wen Xin didn't care about this kind of thing, just mentioned it to Li Su, and after seeing that Li Su didn't answer positively, he didn't mention it anymore.

However, Empress Xiao didn't know where to get the news, and showed great enthusiasm for it, and has been reminding him to go back to Chang'an openly and secretly these days, Li Su is not easy to say no, so he has no choice but to avoid Empress Xiao, so as long as there is a free time these days, he will go boating on the lake to fish, I didn't expect that Wang An took the initiative to accompany him today, and he also intended to lead the topic of Chang'an, it is said that Wang An should be the person who knows his ideals and situation best, and he should not persuade himself to return to Chang'an.

Wang An also smiled bitterly when he heard Li Su's words: "Your Highness, now the subordinate officials of the palace have no martial arts, and they are trying their best to persuade you to go back to Chang'an. ”

As soon as Wang An's words came out, Li Su immediately showed a look of understanding, everyone in the palace was persuading him, Wang An, as one of them, and also a prince with the responsibility of teaching, should naturally make a statement at this time, otherwise if he behaves too independently, it will not be easy to get along in the future.

However, when Wang An saw the relieved expression on Li Su's face, he then said: "In addition, Chang'an has been surging in order to establish the crown prince, so the old minister thinks that His Royal Highness is not suitable to go back at this time, but His Royal Highness does not go back, but it does not mean that we should stand by and watch this matter, after all, we will still have close ties with Datang in the future, so the candidate for the crown prince is also very important, so should His Royal Highness prepare early?" ”

Wang An's words won Li Su's heart, in fact, let alone Chang'an, the entire Tang Dynasty was disturbed by the candidate for the crown prince's position, if he went back at this time, he didn't know what would happen, and maybe even repeat the last assassination in the Yellow River, after all, there were quite a few people in the Tang Dynasty who didn't want to see him go back.

Of course, the candidate for the position of the prince is also very important to Li Su, what Li Su hopes most is of course that the third brother Li Ke will sit on the throne of the prince, firstly, the two are brothers, and the relationship is very good, and secondly, Li Su is also familiar with each other's temperament. So if he can ascend to the throne, then Li Su can still get great support from Datang in the future.

However, there are some things that Li Ke does not want to do, although Li Ke is good, and his father Li Shimin also values him more, but Li Ke is not a descendant like him, and he has no influence like himself, so even if Li Shimin wants to make Li Ke the crown prince in his heart, I am afraid that he will be opposed by many ministers, such as the eldest grandson Wuji must be the first person to object. In addition, Li Ke has no connections in the court, and he will not be like Li Su, who has a group of civil and military ministers to help him speak, so unless a miracle occurs, Li Ke will definitely not be able to sit on the throne of the prince.

Thinking of the third brother Li Ke, Li Su also sighed secretly, as a brother, he couldn't help in this matter. However, it doesn't matter if Li Ke can't sit on the throne of the prince, as early as when Li Su said that he would not compete for the throne, he had a conversation with the eldest grandson Wuji, and the other party was the same as him, and he was not optimistic about Li Chengqian and Li Tai, so he turned his attention to the younger Li Zhi, Li Su did not object, and even acquiesced to the behavior of the eldest grandson Wuji, but he also warned the other party in advance, so that he should not have any wrong thoughts.

Thinking of the conversation with the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Su smiled mysteriously at Wang An: "Wang Fu, for the matter of establishing the crown prince, we don't actually need to do anything, I have already talked to a person at the beginning, and he will help us do the following things." ”

Wang An was also shocked when he heard that Li Su had already made arrangements, originally he thought that he knew Li Su very well, but he didn't expect that in the matter of the crown prince, Li Su had already expected this day, which made him admire Li Su in addition to a trace of awe in his heart, and the expression on his face became more and more respectful.

However, Li Su didn't pay attention to the change in Wang An's expression, but thought of another thing, and said at the moment: "Wang Fu, I remember that the eldest brother was demoted to Shanghai, so did he take the water route or the land route?" ”

Wang An immediately understood when he heard this, and bowed down and replied: "Your Royal Highness, according to the news from Chang'an, the waste prince took the Yellow River waterway, and then arrived in Shanghai by sea boat, so it will definitely pass through Dengzhou in the middle, if His Royal Highness wants to see the waste prince, then he will leave for Dengzhou in the next few days, after all, he is about to reach the mouth of the Yellow River." ”

Li Su nodded after hearing this, although the relationship between Li Chengqian and him was not very good at the beginning, but the other party was his eldest brother after all, although he was degraded now, but if he passed through Dengzhou, then he would have to see the other party anyway, this is not that he wants to show the world that he values brotherhood, so as to buy a name, but he really has something to talk about with Li Chengqian.

Just when Li Su was about to return to Dengzhou to wait for Li Chengqian's fleet to be dispatched, there was also a major event happening in the Taiji Palace of Chang'an City that affected the direction of the history of the Tang Dynasty, but no one thought that the history of the Tang Dynasty would be changed because of someone's words.
