Liu An was very happy to agree to Li Zhi's proposal.

He has now become more and more fond of studying Gewu with Li Zhi, especially the tension when exploring the unknown.

With the success of refined salt, purifying white sugar has become an extremely simple matter.

They just repeated the process of filtering the brine a few times to get some snow-white sugar.

They also get a lot of brown sugar in the process.

When Li Zhi presented refined salt, brown sugar, and white sugar to Li Shimin, Li Shimin was so pleasantly surprised that he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood.

These two things are extremely important livelihood products, and for the people of Datang, it is the happiest thing to be able to use high-quality and inexpensive sugar and salt.

Li Shimin couldn't wait to take the purification method from Li Zhi's hands, and immediately told the good news to Fang Xuanling and others.

What Li Zhi didn't know was that because the sugar making process in Datang was too backward, Li Shimin was now preparing to send people to the distant Tianzhu to learn the sugar making process.

And even Tianzhu's sugar making process could not produce the sugar made by Li Zhi.

Fang Xuanling and others also sighed at Li Zhi's talent when they saw refined salt and sugar.

In just a dozen days, Li Zhi has already contributed three good things that benefit the country and the people.

And that's not even counting his excellent work on the revision of the Law.

After a short period of happiness, Fang Xuanling raised his worries with a serious face.

He said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what to say. ”

Li Shimin was happy at the moment, so after listening to Fang Xuanling's words, he immediately waved his hand casually and said, "Fang Aiqing has something to say. ”

Fang Xuanling opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin's recent outstanding performance has aroused criticism in the court, and some officials are already discussing whether the crown prince's throne is stable. ”

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Wang Qi and Li Jing, and found that they also frowned slightly after hearing this.

After Li Shimin heard this, his face immediately became gloomy.

He said with a little annoyance: "What does the pheasant slave's excellent performance have to do with the position of the crown prince? Did they think that I would change the crown prince because of this? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, please forgive the minister, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is really too much beyond the sons of the same age, which is completely beyond people's perception of the word prodigy." ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "So what? My Qilin'er was originally so good, could it be that I had to deliberately suppress him? ”

Fang Xuanling hurriedly denied: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the ministers would think this way because they didn't believe that His Royal Highness the King of Jin really had such a talent." ”

Li Shimin sneered: "Joke, which thing did the pheasant slave did was not unprecedented?" Could it be that someone thinks I'm helping him behind his back? ”

Speaking of this, he flicked his sleeves and glanced at Fang Xuanling and the others.

Then he continued: "If there are such capable people around me, how can I bury their merits to fulfill my young son? ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling and the three of them hurriedly denied it in unison.

Everyone in the world knows that Li Shimin likes to win over talents from all over the world for his own use, and gives great courtesies and rewards.

It is precisely because of this that people from all over the world will join him one after another, so he will never do such a self-destructive thing.

Wang Jue opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, since there are already ministers who doubt King Jin's ability, it is better to give His Royal Highness King Jin a chance to show it in front of him, so as to block the mouth of Youyou." ”

Li Shimin said angrily: "How to show it? Is it possible to let people supervise the lives of pheasant slaves at any time? ”

Wang Qi hurriedly denied: "That's not what the minister meant. ”

Then he continued: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Jin is so keen on the way of things, it is better to let His Royal Highness the King of Jin go to the general as a prison to guide him..."

Speaking of which, Wang Qi has to go on again.

Li Shimin interrupted angrily: "There is absolutely no way, the pheasant slave is just a temporary interest in studying things, is it possible to let him go to work as a prisoner because of this?" ”

Wang Qi persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry, and the minister proposed this law just to block the mouth of Youyou, so as not to affect the relationship between the prince and His Majesty and his brother from the outside world. ”

After Li Shimin heard this, the expression on his face immediately changed.

Now what he fears most about people is about brotherly feelings.

The impact of the Xuanwumen Rebellion has not subsided yet.

Even his own father has not forgiven himself.

Li Shimin felt very helpless at this time.

How similar are Li Zhi's various performances to himself back then?

They all showed their extraordinary talents among the brothers early.

Subsequently, it was jointly targeted by various forces in the DPRK and China.

In the end, he was suppressed by his brothers, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and launched the Xuanwumen Change.

Thinking of this, he asked Fang Xuanling and the others: "The pheasant slave is just a child under the age of three, he is just a little wiser, why let the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty criticize him so much?" ”

Speaking of this, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "I will never allow anyone to destroy the relationship between the princes, and whoever dares to chew his tongue again will kill him." ”

Fang Xuanling's faces changed after listening to Li Shimin's words.

Li Jing, who had not spoken, hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "Your Majesty is angry, this matter is far from being so far, just let His Royal Highness King Jin prove his ability." ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin sneered and said, "It's ridiculous, what if the pheasant slave has proved his ability?" Is it the same as they did to me? ”

He continued with a look of reminiscence: "Say that the pheasant slave is the chosen one? Say that he is more suitable to be a prince than Gao Ming? ”

The three people present were all ministers who had experienced the changes in Xuanwumen.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, they all fell silent.

Strictly speaking, what happened at the beginning did have a lot to do with the promotion of a group of courtiers.

It was precisely because some people desperately suppressed Li Shimin and the important figures of his lineage that Li Shimin was forced to launch the Xuanwumen Change.

Fang Xuanling first broke the silence and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, you should first let His Royal Highness the King of Jin prove his ability, and then he can prove that His Majesty has never favored His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

Wang Jue also said at this time: "As long as the talent of King Jin is proven, some courtiers who don't know the truth will naturally shut up. ”

Li Jing also said: "At that time, if there are still people who dare to chew the root of their tongue, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to punish him severely." ”

After listening to their words, Li Shimin showed a wry smile on his face.

What the three of them say now sounds good, in fact, Li Shimin knows very well that the reason why this matter can form public opinion is entirely because they themselves are doubting Li Zhi's ability.

Even Fang Xuanling, who has been in contact with Li Zhi for many days, may not fully believe that Li Zhi's views are from him at this moment.
