With the support of Fang Xuanling and others, Li Shimin finally made up his mind.

I only heard him speak: "Since this is the case, then I will order the pheasant slave to be the observer of Lingnan Province and take charge of all military and political affairs in Lingnan." ”

Li Zhi bowed and saluted: "Obey!" ”

Li Shimin pondered for a while and continued: "This trip is mainly for development and construction, so the Ministry of Industry and Sinong Temple need to send additional personnel to assist. ”

Duan Lun and Zhang Ru also hurriedly stood up to receive the order.

Li Shimin said to Li Zhi: "You will arrange the process of increasing the number of troops in the Dragoon Army, and try not to increase the pressure on the finances." ”

After Li Zhi received the order again, Li Shimin said to him: "Now that the dragoon army has not returned, you can spend a few more days with your mother." ”

Li Shimin's words were filled with reluctance.

Li Zhi is not only smart and clever, but also attaches great importance to filial piety.

Over the years, he has long been accustomed to seeing Li Zhi in the Lizheng Palace every day.

Now that it won't be long before Li Zhi will go to that wild place to work hard for the country, Li Shimin is really worried about Li Zhi's health.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Shimin personally took Li Zhi's little hand and walked towards the Lizheng Palace.

If he wants to send Li Zhi to Lingnan, he must let Li Zhi explain it with him, otherwise Empress Changsun will definitely turn against him.

And that's just the end of the story.

Wait a minute, he will go to Da'an Palace to report to the Emperor Taishang in person, after all, Li Zhi is also the heart of the Emperor.

Li Shimin looked down at Li Zhi from time to time as he walked forward.

At this time, he realized that Li Zhi's height had exceeded his waist.

This is already considered high among children of the same age.

It's just that Li Zhi's body seems to be a little thin.

Li Shimin is very curious about who Li Zhi's personality is more like?

He is organized, calm and decisive when he does things, which is a bit like himself.

But he is usually delicate and can please all his relatives.

This is something that I have never done before.

Li Shimin clearly remembered that it was precisely because he was not liked by his father's concubines that those concubines did not make up their own arrangements.

In the end, it was Empress Changsun who went to the palace in person to please those concubines, so that her life was better.

Father and son talked from time to time as they walked forward.

Zhang Ananda, who was following the two of them, couldn't help but feel a little sad when he looked at this picture.

Li Zhi is very good to the minions in the palace.

Not only did he never bully those palace maids and eunuchs, but he also often prevented other princes from bullying them.

Li Zhi is an alternative in the palace.

It seems that in his eyes, everyone is high and low.

Of course, Li Zhi himself didn't know what Li Shimin and Zhang Ananda were thinking.

He was also thinking about how to comfort Empress Eldest Sun now.

In the Lizheng Palace.

Originally, Empress Changsun was very happy that Li Shimin's father and son could appear here at this time.

But when she listened to Li Shimin's story, her face immediately changed color.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty has always boasted to your concubines that the heroes of the world have been all in Your Majesty's court, but now why do you want to let the pheasant slave take this great responsibility?" ”

Li Shimin grinned in embarrassment, and just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, he saw that Empress Eldest Sun's tears had fallen.

He hurriedly took out his silk handkerchief and wanted to wipe it for Empress Changsun.

Unexpectedly, he was opened by the eldest grandson queen.

Empress Eldest Sun twisted her body to the side.

Then she continued: "The pheasant slave is so young, you can bear to send him to such a desolate place, don't you don't want this son?" ”

Li Shimin hurriedly turned to the front of the eldest grandson empress again.

I only heard him say anxiously: "Guanyin, you listen to my explanation, things are not what you think. ”

Empress Eldest Sun said: "What else can it be?" There are more than 600 officials in the capital, and no one can solve this matter on behalf of the pheasant slave? ”

Li Shimin was just about to open his mouth when he heard Empress Changsun continue: "Even so, why can't Your Majesty wait a few years and let the pheasant slave grow up before going?" ”

Li Shimin was speechless for a while, and could only stare there with his mouth open.

Li Zhi hurriedly said on the side: "Queen Mother, I don't blame my father for this matter, it was the son who put forward the idea and asked to go." ”

Empress Changsun said: "You don't have to cover up for your ruthless father, he just sees that you are young and deceiving you." ”

Li Shimin's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.

Why am I so ruthless? How did I deceive the pheasant slaves?

I'm also very reluctant to let the pheasant slave leave, right?

Besides, who says that if you are young, you must be easy to deceive?

You're a shrewd son, okay!

Li Zhi hurriedly spoke again: "Queen Mother, please listen patiently to Erchen's explanation, it's really not what the Queen Mother thinks." ”

Next, Li Zhi didn't wait for Empress Changsun to speak, and hurriedly said his thoughts.

Empress Changsun didn't want to hear it, but Li Zhi's small mouth kept talking.

So she could only listen to Li Zhi's explanation helplessly.

Li Zhi continued to speak for half an hour.

In the end, he finally concluded: "Queen Mother, this matter is very important, whether it is the development of Lingnan or the expansion of the dragoon, it cannot be easily handed over to others. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Empress Eldest Sun had already lost most of her anger.

But she still couldn't understand why it had been done so urgently.

So she asked, "Even so, why can't you wait two years and do it when you're older?" ”

Li Zhi said: "Queen Mother, this southern land is the foundation of the long-term prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, and the sooner it is developed, the more it can strengthen the national strength of my Tang Dynasty!" ”

After hearing this, Empress Changsun's big tears fell non-stop.

She took Li Zhi into her arms and kept groping for Li Zhi's head.

I heard her sobbing and said: "You are going to leave home at such a young age, how can the queen mother be willing to give up!" ”

Li Zhi leaned on the shoulder of the eldest grandson empress and said: "The queen mother doesn't need to worry about her sons, who have grown up and know how to take care of themselves." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but think of his mother when he saw the picture of the mother and son relying on each other.

His mother loved him the same way.

It's a pity that his mother left him before he could ascend the throne.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but shed tears.

He quietly left the Lizheng Palace and went to Da'an Palace alone.

He also had to explain to his stubborn old father what was going on for the day.

However, when he just said that he was going to send Li Zhi to Lingnan, he saw Li Yuan's eyes widen.

Then, without waiting for him to explain, he picked up the crutches in his hand.

Li Yuan scolded loudly: "I beat you to death as a foolish rebel, how can you bear to send a pheasant slave to such a wild place?" ”

After saying this, Li Yuan picked up the crutches in his hand and hit Li Shimin.
