Time always flies inadvertently, when Li Shimin saw the city wall of Chang'an City, he was full of emotion, this time out, he not only got a lot of new cognition, and a clearer concept of the future of the entire Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is that Li Shimin's heart let go of some worries for the first time.

That is the worry about his future heir, it can be said that since Li Shimin took the throne, he has been worried about this issue day and night, even if the current Li Chengqian is just over 8 years old, which is why Li Shimin in history will insist on Li Chengqian's status so much.

Even if the final result is not what Li Shimin thought, the final result is so.

But this time, when he came back, Li Shimin completely let go of such worries, the reason is very simple, he has a better solution, and this kind of plan, Li Shimin is sure that not only his sons will accept it, but the most important thing is that the ministers behind his sons will accept it.

That's all that matters!

In fact, are these sons the ones who are really vying for the throne? Actually, no, they are more of people who have support behind them.

So this time, on the way back, Li Shimin, who had experienced life and death, suddenly figured out a lot of things, and his state of mind was different all of a sudden.

It is still far away from Chang'an City, but on the side of the road in the distance, all the ministers have already greeted it, and the news of Li Shimin's attack in Liangzhou has spread all over Chang'an, of course, the Tang Dynasty's battle against Tuyuhun and the news of the complete victory of Jieli have also reached Chang'an.

In fact, on the way back to Li Shimin, some of the elite troops on the Tuyuhun side had begun to withdraw, and Wei Chigong, who had stayed in Chang'an, had been ordered to lead the army to attack in advance and go straight to the grasslands of Wuyuan.

Obviously, there are familiar scenery in front of him, but it makes Li Shimin feel like a world away, especially when he sees the frame of his eldest grandson Empress among the crowds that ushered him, Li Shimin is even more emotional.

Needless to say, when Li Shimin and the entire convoy went to Chang'an City, Li Shimin's carriage was only him and Empress Changsun, and there was no one else, and Empress Changsun's tears fell directly.

"Your Majesty, is it worth it?" Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but stretch out her hand to caress Li Shimin's obviously rough and darkened skin, and said with tears in her eyes.

Li Shimin knew what she was talking about, what she said was about Li Shimin risking his life to get out.

"It's worth it, Guanyin, you know? This time, I went out and got something that can be said to be even more prosperous than my Datang, which makes me happy. Li Shimin stretched out his hand and hugged Empress Eldest Sun and said softly.

There are only two people here, and there is no need for Li Shimin to hide some things from her, so he can say them directly, and Li Shimin can only tell these things with Empress Changsun.

Empress Eldest Sun was stunned for a moment, she looked at Li Shimin in a daze, when she and Li Shimin got married, the Li family was not too clear at that time, so the two of them could also be said to have met at the end of the year.

It's not too small, but the situation at that time was naturally much more thrilling than now, it can be said that the risks that Li Shimin experienced back then, Empress Changsun has always experienced, so she is more empathetic to the risks encountered by Li Shimin this time.

Because many years ago, she didn't know how many times she had experienced a similar situation, the kind of thing that could only wait anxiously for the news from the front in the rear, and she couldn't take the initiative to inquire in addition to worrying, and she had to help Li Shimin stabilize the rear, that kind of mood can only be deeply felt by the eldest grandson queen who has experienced countless times.

But at this moment, she saw the same thing in Li Shimin's body, to be precise, she saw Li Shimin's unprecedented relaxation.

"Jiro, you mean?" Empress Changsun did not call His Majesty, but changed her title.

"The change of the Xuanwu Gate, others don't know, but Guanyin, you should know, did I launch the change of the Xuanwu Gate just because of myself? No, and you, and our future children, and those behind me, but to be honest, Guanyin, I myself have dreamed many times that the same thing happened to my son. Li Shimin's tone was very calm.

But the content of the words made Empress Changsun a little stunned and puzzled, stunned that Li Shimin could tell her about this matter, the blood of the Xuanwu Gate change can be said to have not been cold, this matter is forbidden to Li Shimin, no one dares to mention it, but Li Shimin directly said this matter so peacefully.

What is incomprehensible is what kind of things Li Shimin saw when he went to the Western Regions, which can make him look at this matter with such a mentality, is it just because An Xinggui's rebellion failed that he saw through life and death? I'm afraid not.

When he was young, Li Shimin fought on the battlefield, and he had experienced similar life and death many times.

"And this time, I can say that I have a perfect preparation to prevent our children from killing each other in the future, not only the children between you and me, but also the children of Concubine Yang and their children." Li Shimin said calmly.

"Erlang...... It's true? After Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment, a trace of joy appeared on her face, just like what Li Shimin said, how could Empress Changsun not worry about this, but although she was worried, she could only hide it in her heart, because she knew that as the emperor, there was no way to do it, and she couldn't say it because she was worried.

That is adding pressure to Li Shimin.

And now Li Shimin actually took the initiative to say that there is a solution to this matter, how can this not make her happy? Even if she is a queen, she is also a mother, what mother wants to see her children kill each other?

"It's true, after I go back, I will have a good talk with you, and I am not going to hide this matter, or rather, now the people who should know about the entire Datang already know, at least some of the five surnames and Qiwang already know." Li Shimin said in a calm tone.

He thought about a lot of things on the road this time, Huo Gang just gave him some suggestions and ideas, but many things still need to be considered by Li Shimin himself, just like how to solve the problem of five surnames and seven hopes.

One of the problems to be solved through the 40,000 acres of black soil in Youzhou is that he already has a certain solution, and the second is to put everything under the framework.

Just like Huo Gang said about the clan problem, when there are more people with privileges, then it will inevitably drag down the entire empire, in fact, I am not afraid that these families are big, but if these families are acting within the framework, then I am not afraid that they will have problems.

Because they have problems, there are ways to clean them up, as long as Datang is growing at the same time. What I am afraid of is that Datang's treasury is shrinking, but these families are growing, and the burden of Datang's treasury is getting heavier and heavier, which is the most terrifying.

Therefore, he has already thought very clearly, the population of Datang is not large now, so he is not afraid to give these families or clans some land, even if it is permanent private land, but there is one thing, that is, their right to tax exemption must be withdrawn.

Judging from the information he gathered on the way, this is not difficult.

Because these families are also considering Li Shimin's pressure, this An Xinggui rebellion can be said to be a crisis encountered by Li Shimin, but it can also be said to be an opportunity for him to solve the problems of these families.

Especially the strength of Huo Gang's cavalry, and what he was about to announce.

Empress Eldest Sun was stunned for a moment, but she didn't rush to ask, because she knew that since Li Shimin had already revealed some of the news, it meant that the success of this matter was very high, so there were some things that Li Shimin could tell them directly.

Li Shimin returned to the palace, and he met all the ministers outside the city, and then informed everyone that a great court meeting would be held tomorrow, and he would take a rest today. Naturally, these ministers have no objections to Li Shimin's decision, and in fact, they also need to discuss it carefully, although Li Shimin has released some news.

It can be said that the families behind these ministers already know, but if they know, they still have to see each other, for example, Gao Shilian and Du Ruhui, who have been following Li Shimin, Gao Shilian is currently staying in Wuwei, waiting for the follow-up envoys to go, but Du Ruhui is back.

Therefore, when Du Ruhui returned to his mansion, he almost immediately received countless greetings, all from the ministers of the imperial court.

Du Ruhui did not refuse, because he knew that he also had the responsibility of helping Li Shimin get these ministers first, so Du Ruhui simply replied to everyone directly, invited everyone to his Du Mansion as guests, and he feasted these ministers.

And those who received invitations, such as Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Xiao Yu, Liu Hongji, Chai Shao, Zhang Gongjin, Yu Shinan, Tang Jian, and Qin Qiong all received Du Ruhui's invitation, it can be said that Du Ruhui invited almost more than half of the important members of the entire Tang Dynasty!

These people almost represent the power of the entire Tang Dynasty, and behind them, everyone can influence many officials and families, and these people together are at least half of the entire Tang Dynasty.

The only relatively small number here is the military generals, if it is said that the pure military generals are estimated to be Qin Qiong, this is because Qin Qiong's health has not been very good, so he has been resting at home, otherwise, this time he went directly north to Jieli's tribe, and it is estimated that Qin Qiong also went on the expedition.

Why did Du Ruhui invite them, these people knew it in their hearts, but they definitely wanted to go to the banquet.

But no one knows what everyone thinks in their hearts, the main thing is that Li Shimin went out this time...... Obviously, it was beyond the expectations of too many people, and with the news they got halfway, it can be said that everyone had a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, and even they felt that the situation was more complicated than after the Xuanwumen Incident just ended a year ago.

Because that time it was only the Li royal family that was involved, but the ministers were actually not afraid, Li Jiancheng died, but how many ministers who followed Li Jiancheng died?

Not to mention anything else, Wei Zheng is still alive now, and not only alive, but also alive very well.

There were a lot of ministers who supported Li Jiancheng back then!

But what about this time? This time, even the five surnames and seven hopes have been involved, not to mention, it can be said that the wealthy families of the whole country have been involved, and these wealthy families also represent their ministers.

Because it can be said that it is these families who support them, and this time the matter is related to all the aristocratic classes in the entire Datang, which means that this time the matter also represents the entire Datang!

This is what makes them feel the most complicated, around the ministers who are used to seeing these big worlds feel a little numb, and more importantly, it is also related to the future princes of the Tang Dynasty and the princes, this is what makes them the most curious.

Therefore, for Du Ruhui's invitation, these ministers naturally came over as soon as possible, and even Wei Zheng, who usually doesn't accept banquets from other ministers, has already come early.

The entire Du Mansion naturally attaches great importance to this matter, not to mention anything else, these ministers represent seventy or eighty percent of the officials of the entire Tang Dynasty, which can affect almost all the political situation in the Tang Dynasty, but these people are not so harmonious with each other.

When the time came, everyone took their seats in the room, and after greetings, it was Wei Zheng who spoke first.

"Du Keming, you are the sinner of this Tang Dynasty! I'm going to impeach you tomorrow! Wei Zheng said directly.

"Duke Wei, don't worry, I have no opinion on you impeaching me, but we didn't come to discuss this today." Du Ruhui said with a smile, he didn't care about this at all.

"Not to discuss this? Du Keming, let me ask you, this time Your Majesty is in danger, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you? The negotiation between Datang and Dahan was carried out by you, you know better than us what you negotiated, why An Xinggui rebelled, wasn't it because of the contradiction between him and Huo Gang? ”

"Since you know this, why don't you take precautions against An Xinggui in advance?!" Wei Zheng asked loudly.

"Duke Wei, Duke Wei, dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas, he does know about this matter, but if in fact, Your Majesty also agreed before going out, all in all, we are all responsible." Fang Xuanling next to him smiled, and then became a peacemaker.

"Humph! Anyway, the old man is not done with you, I want to hear what you talked about now. Wei Zheng waved his sleeves, but he didn't continue to dwell on this matter, but sat down directly.

Du Ruhui was still smiling, he didn't pay attention to this matter at all, because he knew that in the back, Wei Zheng was not in the mood to entangle this matter with him at all.
