In the land of Xindu, most of Li Zhao's palace has been built, Li Jiancheng's East Palace is relatively small, Li Yuan originally wanted to build a large number of buildings, and build the East Palace well, but was rejected by Li Jiancheng, in his opinion, when the imperial court was using money, it was not a Ming monarch's doing, not to mention, he was just a prince.

However, he was very attentive to Li Yuan's palace, and asked the Ministry of Industry to select high-quality materials to create a splendid appearance, which made Li Yuan very happy to see it, and he had a better impression of Li Jiancheng.

During this time, Li Yuan's health was not good, in the end, he was old, and he was getting older, and Li Yuan's energy was not as good as before, so he simply handed over all the state affairs to Li Jiancheng, and even let Li Jiancheng live in the palace in order to take care of Li Jiancheng, so as not to go back and forth between the East Palace and the palace.

Many things are handled by Li Jiancheng, he is a benevolent person, and he also seems to be a heavenly heart in dealing with state affairs, and he is obedient to the will of the people, and his prestige among the people of Hebei is very high, coupled with the support of the Hebei family, Dazhao's national strength is slowly recovering. However, today's matter is not something that Li Jiancheng can handle.

"Niangniang, is my father here?" Li Jiancheng came to Dacheng Palace, Li Yuan was here to cultivate, but what Li Jiancheng didn't expect was that as soon as he went up the steps, he saw Concubine Zhang coming slowly, wearing palace clothes, with fluttering sleeves, except for a snow-white on the bandeau chest, which was so eye-catching in front of Li Jiancheng, flashing with jade light, Li Jiancheng saw it clearly, couldn't help swallowing and spitting, and his figure took two steps back.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zhang Jieyu didn't expect to meet Li Jiancheng here, seeing Li Jiancheng with his head down and slowly retreating, she suddenly understood something, blushed and bowed in a low voice. This is the future master of Da Zhao. Even if Zhang Jieyu serves Li Yuan, in terms of identity and status, she cannot be compared with Li Jiancheng.

"How is Father doing?" Li Jiancheng nodded, and was about to leave, when he suddenly turned around and asked.

"The emperor dragon is in good health, but his spirit has not yet recovered." Zhang Jieyu thought of something. There was a hint of grief in the depths of his eyes, and he soon disappeared without a trace. She herself is in the age of Hua Xin, Li Yuan is already dying, and in some aspects, it is natural that it cannot be compared with a few years ago. It's just that Lu Yuan is the emperor, even if Concubine Zhang is dissatisfied, she doesn't dare to express it.

"Good life to take care of my father!" Li Jiancheng sighed when he heard this, Li Yuan's age is getting older and older, and it is not surprising that his body is not good. And the incident in Shandong hit him hard last time.

"Yes." Zhang Jieyu hurriedly responded. When she raised her head, she saw that Li Jiancheng had already left, and there was only a tall and sturdy figure. Zhang Jieyu complained for a while. It seemed that he was thinking about something in the depths of his eyes, and finally he sighed and walked towards the apse.

"The son visits his father." Li Jiancheng didn't know what Zhang Jieyu was thinking, but when he entered the main hall, he saw Li Yuan leaning on the dragon couch, and there was a strange breath in his nose. He immediately frowned, and suddenly sighed in his heart. is old and in poor health, but at this time, he is still doing things for men and women, which makes Li Jiancheng slightly dissatisfied in his heart.

"The prince is here. Sit. Li Yuan had just fought on Zhang Jieyu, and his head was drowsy. was about to rest for a while, but he didn't expect Li Jiancheng to come, so he suddenly beat his spirits and pointed to a brocade stool not far away and said.

"Father, Cui Mingan and Xu Shiji both have a transcript. Both of them asked their father to transfer Yuanji to Xindu, and replaced him with a clan general to guard Shandong. Li Jiancheng handed over the two pieces from his arms.

"What's going on?" When Li Yuan heard the soldiers who were transferring troops, he suddenly became a little nervous, and couldn't help but sit up from the bed and asked in surprise. Li Yuan attaches great importance to the clan generals, but compared with the clan generals, Li Yuan believes in his son more. At this time, there were two foreign ministers who wanted to change the leading generals, which made Li Yuan a little vigilant in his heart.

"This, father, there have been rebellions in some small counties in Shandong, and Cui Mingan said that it has something to do with King Qi." Li Jiancheng said with some embarrassment: "Although Xu Shiji didn't say it explicitly, he also said that the King of Qi sat in Dengzhou and ignored Shandong's rebellion, although he had the heart to sweep away the rebellion, but the pseudo-Tang Cheng Biting Jin led an army of 30,000 to appear on the border of Shandong, so that he did not dare to leave Caozhou lightly." ”

"Hmph, this Cui Mingan, where is Yuanji's sin, it is obvious that he is too careful, thinking about the Kanto family, and wants to take back those lands from the hands of the people, so that such a thing will happen, it happened, but he didn't know how to solve it, so he put the responsibility on Yuanji." Li Yuan glanced at the fold and threw it aside with a cold snort. Then he looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Prince, what do you think should be done about this matter?" ”

"The rebellion must be exterminated immediately, otherwise, if Li Xin raises troops to attack, the inside and the outside should be combined, and Shandong is afraid that it will be lost again." Li Jiancheng hurriedly said. Li Yuanji didn't tell himself about the Shandong incident, which made Li Jiancheng worry for a while, whether Li Yuanji really assisted him, or rather, now he has other thoughts. So he supported the clan to take charge of the 100,000 army in Shandong.

"Let Li Shen pass, cooperate with Yuanji, and eliminate the rebellion in Shandong!" Li Yuan thought about it and decided to leave Li Yuanji there, in his opinion, Li Jiancheng sat in the center, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji sat in the left and right wings, and the three of them assisted themselves together, even after their death, the two brothers could continue to assist Li Jiancheng, although Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was a little reckless, but in the end, he was the descendant of the Li family, if he didn't help and support his own people, would he still support outsiders?

"Yes, boy, go and give orders." Li Jiancheng thought for a moment in his heart, but nodded and said.

"Let Motoyoshi come back! I told him well. Li Yuan thought about it and sighed, among the three sons, he still likes and appreciates Li Jiancheng the most, although he is the prince, but he abides by the duties of a courtier and a son, unlike Li Shimin, who is bold and reckless, which is also an important reason why Li Yuan established Li Jiancheng as the prince.

"Yes." Li Jiancheng relaxed a lot at this time, and let Li Shentong go, so that Li Shentong could quickly master the army, and after Li Yuanji went back, it would have no effect.

"Prince, what do you think of this letter from Cui Min?" Li Yuan pointed to the music in his hand and said.

"The size of the family has threatened the Jiangshan community, and half of the officials in Shandong are from the Shandong family." Li Jiancheng also said with some worry.

Although I hate Li Xin very much, I have to admit that he is very clever about the family, and he lured him to take advantage of it, so that the family gave up the property, there is no property, although there is money, but as long as the descendants of the future generations are not filial, all the money is a flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water. It's just that those big families don't see this, thinking that they have a lot of money and live a luxurious life that was unimaginable before, but unfortunately, they didn't think about the future. Li Yuan sighed slightly.

"Father, my son wants to ask my father to open the imperial examination." Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "Give the children of the poor families in Hebei a way, in fact, there are also talented people among these poor disciples, and if the father and emperor admit these people, these people will definitely be loyal to my Great Zhao, and they may not be able to deal with those big families in the future." Li Jiancheng's eyes were reflective, in fact, his idea was also learned from Li Xin.

Li Yuan also had some intentions, but after hesitating for a while, he shook his head and said, "Completed, don't talk about this idea, don't mention it." If you say it, they will still help you with the front foot, and the back foot will be demolished. Don't say it now, when you become the Son of Heaven in the future and unify the world, at that time, the imperial examination will be held. Not now. ”

Li Jiancheng was disappointed after hearing this, he knew that what Li Yuan said made sense, Da Zhao's country was actually supported by the big families, if the imperial examination was held, those big families would definitely oppose it together, who knows if these people would support others, for the big families, it doesn't matter who is the prince, as long as they can ensure their own interests.

If it weren't for Li Xin's ruthless attack, Li Yuan even believed that it was possible that these Kwantung families would have taken refuge in Li Xin a long time ago. At this time, Li Yuan fell behind, and the only thing he relied on was these families, how could Li Yuan let the imperial examination ruin his own big things.

"The family is like carrion on the body, they are constantly eroding the country of Da Zhao, but we have to rely on these people, only these people will stand with us and supplement our consumption of Da Zhao." Li Yuan patted his head and said, "Prince, I'm afraid my father won't be able to solve this matter in this life, so I can only count on you." ”

"Father." Li Jiancheng heard a hint of something wrong, Li Yuan actually said such words at this time, as if he was explaining his last words.

"This time Yuanji came back, and also let Shimin come back, I haven't seen him for a long time, and father and son don't have overnight hatred." Li Yuan thought about it, sighed slightly, and said: "There is also a notice from the northwest side, if he comes back or not, let him be!" That's fine. ”

"Father is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, why do you say such a thing." Li Jiancheng said bitterly.

"People must know the destiny of heaven, and the father is old." Li Yuan said with a smile: "How many days are left!" Li Xin is our great enemy, my father's energy may not be able to support the big battle with Li Xin, it is normal to give up the throne early, this time to meet them, if you three brothers reconcile, I will pass on the throne to you. Let Shimin and Yuanji assist you well. I will be able to live for the rest of my life. ”

Li Jiancheng was happy in his heart when he heard this, and then showed a slight sadness, and said, "Father, Da Zhao Jiangshan still needs his father to be in charge." How can you, how can you. ”

"Alright, let's go down and do something!" Li Yuan waved his hand with a smile and said, "Father is tired, rest for a while." ”

"The retainers retired." Li Jiancheng didn't dare to slack off, so he had to retreat with complicated feelings. (To be continued.) )
