Li Shimin was still hesitant to send Li Zhi to Hedong.

The main reason is that Li Zhi has just returned to Chang'an and has not rested for a while, and Li Shimin is really reluctant to let Li Zhi go out again.

However, before he could make a decision, Li Tai made another request to go to Jiannan.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "The land of Jiannan is full of mountains, ravines and valleys, and the roads are difficult to travel, and the heat is unbearable.

Wu'er has never been out of Chang'an since he was a child, how can he endure such suffering? ”

Li Tai said: "The ninth brother is so young and still has the courage to go to the land of Lingnan Miasma, how can his sons be afraid of the dangers of the roads? ”

After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but ponder.

He naturally knew why Li Tai took the initiative to go to Jiannan.

But Li Tai is very different from Li Chengqian and Li Zhi.

Li Chengqian has a special teacher around him who always teaches him how to handle government affairs, and he has already had many experiences in supervising the country.

Li Zhi has already gained a firm foothold in the court with his extraordinary intelligence.

And Li Tai had never had the experience of handling government affairs alone before, so was it really appropriate to go to Jiannan Province without experience at this time?

Moreover, the land of Jiannan is also a mixture of Han bureaucrats, and many Qiang people who took refuge in the Tang Dynasty lived here.

Is Li Tai capable of properly handling such a complex ethnic relationship?

But now that Li Tai has just returned to the court again, he is in a hurry to perform, and if he refuses his request, I am afraid it will be another blow to him.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin looked up at Fang Xuanling and the others.

He first opened his mouth and asked Fang Xuanling, "Does Xuanling think it is appropriate for the two Highnesses to participate in the disaster relief?" ”

After listening to Li Shimin's question, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

Normally, it would be better for the two princes to come forward for disaster relief at this time.

However, several of the emperor's sons are still underage.

Among them, the only ones who can really reassure everyone are the older prince Li Chengqian and the precocious Li Zhi.

Now the crown prince did not open his mouth to ask to go, and judging from Li Tai's previous political performance, it was indeed a lot worse.

Even if there is some progress now, it is limited in Fang Xuanling's opinion.

If you rashly agree at this time, if something goes wrong, you will definitely be blamed.

But if he flatly denies it, I am afraid that he will be secretly hated by Li Tai.

There is no other reason, his identity at this time is Li Zhi's teacher!

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling could only reluctantly speak: "It is naturally excellent that the prince can come forward in this matter, as for which prince His Majesty prefers, it is not easy to put a beak." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning after listening to Fang Xuanling's words.

He has been with Fang Xuanling and others for a long time, and he can naturally guess the other party's thoughts from a few words.

At this time, Fang Xuanling neither denied the prince's proposal to come forward, nor did he explicitly agree to let Li Tai and Li Zhi go.

Apparently not very recognizable to the abilities of one of them.

And the one he doesn't approve of must be no surprise Li Tai.

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji again.

He is the uncle of Li Tai and the others, and he should dare to call the shots at this time.

So Li Shimin asked the eldest grandson Wuji: "What is the opinion of the auxiliary machine on this?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said without hesitation: "The minister agrees with the Fang Xiang's opinion. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Yes, needless to say, the eldest grandson Wuji is also not optimistic about Li Tai!

He couldn't help but look at Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng, Dai Xuan, Wen Yanbo and others.

found that they were all looking at their noses and noses at the moment, and they made it clear that they didn't want to participate in this matter.

So he looked at Li Chengqian again.

He was a little curious about why Li Chengqian didn't take the initiative to apply to go.

I saw Li Chengqian standing there with a flat face at this time, as if he didn't care about the final result at all.

Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin's gaze turn to him, and suddenly stood a little straighter, and did not say anything else.

From the moment Li Zhi opened his mouth to say that he was going to disaster relief, Li Chengqian had already decided to stay out of the matter.

There is no other reason.

Li Zhi's previous performance was too eye-catching, he not only easily saved 30,000 victims alone, but also made a contribution to expanding the territory in Lingnan.

With Li Zhi's ability, if he goes to Hedong for disaster relief, he will definitely be able to deliver a brilliant achievement.

Although Li Chengqian thinks that he can handle disaster relief matters well, he absolutely cannot achieve better results than Li Zhi.

In this case, he first dismissed the idea of applying for disaster relief.

As for why Li Tai stood up at this time, Li Chengqian can also understand.

But no matter how he understands it, it doesn't mean that he has to help Li Tai fight for opportunities.

Li Shimin saw this, and he also made a general decision in his heart.

He decided to give Lee Tae a chance to perform and see if he had really improved lately or if he was just talking about it.

So he opened his mouth and announced, "Since both the green finch and the pheasant slave have the heart to worry about me, they have followed the request of the two of you. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Ma Zhou and Xiao Yi, who were standing among the courtiers, and continued: "Ma Zhou, Xiao Yi listens to the order. ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Ma Zhou and the others immediately stood up and bowed.

Li Shimin said: "Today, Ma Zhou is the supervision envoy of Jiannan Province, assisting Li Tai, the king of Yue, in dealing with the drought situation in Jiannan prefectures and supervising the disaster relief performance of local officials. ”

Ma Zhou opened his mouth and said, "Minister, obey the order." ”

Li Shimin said to Xiao Yi again: "Feng Xiao Yi is the supervision envoy of Hedong Province to assist Li Zhi, the king of Jin, in handling the affairs of the states in Jiannan. ”

After Xiao Yi received the order, Li Shimin continued to say to Li Tai and Li Zhi: "Although you two are the main envoys, you must listen to Ma Erren's opinions in everything, and you must not act arbitrarily. ”

Li Tai and Li Zhi both spoke at the same time.

Li Shimin spoke again: "The Ministry of Industry and Sinong Temple will select enough people to set off with King Yue and King Jin as soon as possible. ”

Duan Lun and Zhang Ru bowed down in unison to receive the order.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Zhi wrote a letter to Li Ji in Taiyuan as soon as possible.

Let him postpone the renovation of Taiyuan City, and save the materials to help the victims build water conservancy.

At this time, there was no shortage of water in the river east road.

However, due to the topography, the water resources here are extremely unevenly distributed, and the water flow is often too fast, making it difficult for people to use it.

Although Li Ji had already begun to introduce Fenshui in Taiyuan City, the changes he had made were limited.

Li Zhi decided to take the opportunity to visit more areas to see if he could build some dikes to alleviate this phenomenon.

After two days of preparation, Li Tai and Li Zhi finally set off from Chang'an City and headed for the two places.

Li Zhi's first stop after leaving Chang'an was to Taiyuan and had a face-to-face with Li Ji.

At this time, Li Ji was in his early forties, and he was strong but not majestic.

Because of his perennial handling of government affairs, he seems to have a more literati temperament.

After the two met, Li Zhi saluted first and said: "Li Changshi is guarding the side for this king, and he has worked a lot, and this king has thanked him here." ”
