Wei Zheng saw more and more people standing up, and it was not appropriate for him to stand all the time. When Li Shimin asked, he stood up with a red face and walked to the center and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are also participating.

Already."

"What, you were also involved?" Li Shimin was not only not angry, but was as happy as if he had grasped something against him, pointing at Wei Zheng and asked.

"I am ashamed of myself."

What Wei Zheng said was really sincere. Ever since Ye Tan and he got a so-called shareholding, many things were beyond his control. He could remain clean, but he also had a big family behind him.

Without violating the national law, his relatives also followed suit. Besides, it was a good thing in the first place. Isn't it appropriate that he is not allowed to do such a good thing?

Li Shimin felt that he seemed to have overlooked something. Looking at the prince's still young face, it already had some of his own momentum. To be honest, he was not afraid at all, but more expectant and happy. After all,

, this man is his eldest son. If nothing else happens, after he dies, the throne will be his. Moreover, his eldest son is very similar to his eldest brother Li Jiancheng in several aspects. Even if he becomes the emperor, he will not treat him wrongly.

My brothers and sisters are violent, but others are not.

He was afraid deep down in his heart that he would obtain the throne through force. Such fear made him unable to help but think too much. If his children acted in the same way, then snatching the throne would not only make him feel comfortable, but also make him feel comfortable.

Besides, what's the use? When the time comes, all your own children will be fighting below, leaving corpses alone and attacking each other. This can be said to have happened to countless emperors in history. Such a thing is sad and deplorable.

Sigh, there is no other way. In the eyes of the prince, the throne is much more important than family ties, otherwise Li Jiancheng would not have been so nervous in the beginning.

The prince's sixth-rate battle in the past few days made his generals Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, Li Ji, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan, Chai Shao, Changsun Shunde, Zhang Liang, Zhang Gongjin, and Hou Junji change their expressions.

Quite a few, they never know why a team with only a few thousand people is not inferior to Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army in combat power. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Xuanjia Army has been famous for a long time and often does things.

They have been tested on the battlefield, but even though the Emperor's Six Rates were skirmishers that Ye Tan had obtained from Luo Yi, they were able to reach such a level, so I couldn't help but be impressed.

However, Li Chengqian said that they were not good enough now, they were far behind, and when the time came, they would naturally ask his father to review it. Because the prince was still young, Li Shimin could not think of any other ideas.

Now he didn't expect that his prince would win over so many military generals at once. Although he was just doing business, even Wei Zheng was among them. Apart from being slightly worried, he was more jealous. Of course, who is jealous?

It belongs to Wei Zheng. I am your master. You are messing around like I threw your child into the well every day. But now you are so kind to your son. What do you mean? Do you mean that I am not as good as your own son?

?

At the same time, he was a little happy. Wei Zheng, an old piece of wood, could be said to be invulnerable to water and fire. He was almost as hard as the rocks in the Tianshan Mountains. Usually when he was criticized, he felt guilty in his heart, but now, you

Will you be able to speak so loudly in the future?

"Your Majesty, since His Highness the Crown Prince has prepared so much food for the Tang Dynasty, I wonder if I can let you have a tour, so that the people of the world can rest assured." What Zheng Boling said is correct, and it also has the flavor of provocation.

, but there is more of a warning in it. What does it mean? If you know it, the whole world will know it?

However, Li Shimin didn't care about this. He looked at the things in his hands and found that there wasn't much to do, so he waved his hand and said, "Send to the Ministry of Industry."

"Your Majesty, please command the Ministry of Industry..." As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch beside him shouted directly.

After Li Shimin went out first, Li Chengqian followed, and other generals, warriors, and others also followed. The last ones to come out were the civil servants. Of course, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui would not talk to those people. Originally,

There was nothing to say, but Lu Jiayao, Zheng Boling and others looked at each other, and then secretly began to consider the matter in their hearts.

Because there had been chaos in the palace before, when Li Chengqian appeared, he would be followed by four people. These people were not very old and lived in the East Palace at night, but they were not eunuchs. Originally, if Empress Changsun thought of such a method, she would

To seduce others and talk too much, men cannot exist in the palace except for the guards. As a result, Li Chengqian directly drove away all the maids in his East Palace, and now no one said anything else.

Because the Ministry of Industry is located in the imperial city, several people arrived quickly.

The characteristic of the Ministry of Industry is that it is a large place, because many of the things that need to be verified are used in the military or civilian use, so it is not feasible if the place is not large.

If he saw these things in normal times, Li Shimin would definitely find a way to ask a few questions, but now there is no such way. He just wants to see how much food the Ministry of Works has.

Following the lead of the samurai Xun, they walked for almost as long as an incense stick before they arrived at a huge gate covered with wood and iron. The sign on it was the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry, which should belong to the carpentry department.

As soon as Samurai Xun waved his hand, someone handed over the keys, a total of four keys, and they were different from what everyone usually saw. They looked a bit strange, but they were very delicate. After opening them, the people on both sides pushed the door hard.

Pull it open, and the unique fragrance of grain will hit your nostrils.

Li Shimin didn't wait for anyone to greet him and walked in. Everyone else was standing outside, and only Li Chengqian followed him in.

Looking at the piles of grain, Li Shimin also had a smile on his face, but when he walked around here, he found that the maximum here was only about 50,000 shi, not the so-called more than one million at all. Thinking of this, what he just said

The joy disappeared. He turned around and saw Li Chengqian following him. He couldn't help but said angrily, "Cheng Qian, do you know your guilt?"

Li Chengqian knew this would happen a long time ago, so he couldn't help but speak more casually, "I don't know."

Li Shimin pointed to the grain around him and said, "Is there a million stones here?"

"No." Li Chengqian's answer was spoken directly without any concession or anything else.

"Then why did you say that before?" Li Shimin was stunned by his straightforward words, and then said coldly.

"Because it's not safe here." Li Chengqian didn't seem to notice that his father's face had darkened, and he answered directly.

"It's not safe here. Where is it safe?" Li Shimin looked at his son curiously and asked puzzledly. The Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry is actually a secret unit. Many people are not qualified to come in, but he didn't expect him.

It is said that it is not safe here, so where is it safe?

"Father, do you believe it? This time my son and several ministers deceived those wealthy families, and they were so angry that they burned everything here. Do you believe it?" When Li Chengqian said this, he was a little confused.

Angry expression.

Looking at his appearance, Li Shimin suddenly realized that what he just thought was really bad. If his son really didn't want to help him, he didn't have to tell him, and then sold him out when the country was in crisis. Don't look at what he usually said.

As for whether food is precious or not, in years of famine, nothing is precious except food.

"You have thought carefully. Where is the rest?" Li Shimin asked a little lonely. His son had really started to grow, but the speed was beyond his imagination. I didn't know if it was a good thing.

"They are all the military camps of the Prince's Sixth Commander. If your father is willing to go and see them, you can go and see them alone." Li Chengqian didn't say anything else. He just told the fact that after all, the Prince's Sixth Commander now belongs to his own army. If Li Shimin doesn't

If you are willing to go, but you strongly invite me, people will have other ideas.

Li Shimin glanced at him and then said, "Let's talk about it tonight."

After saying this, he went out, then looked at everyone looking at him, and just said, "The prince and your ministers are interested."

Then he left. As for what Zheng Boling was thinking, he simply ignored it.

After all these people left, Cheng Yaojin hurried over and said, "Prince, what's going on?"

"Father will go to the military camp in the evening, and all your uncles will also go there." Li Chengqian knew that these people were die-hard loyalists to his father. Only when they went did Li Shimin feel at ease. As for what he said before, it must be his father's words.

The emperor planned to go back and ask about his mother. After saying this, he went back to the East Palace. He still needed to study.

When everyone left, Zheng Boling looked at Lu Jiayao and said, "What do you think?"

"What are you looking at? Go home now and see how much food has been taken out. I heard that the prince and those people seem to have taken out a lot of food not only from Chang'an, but also from other cities. This matter will not be easy to handle.

Yes." After Lu Jiayao said that, she turned and left, and then other families including the Cui family followed.

When Li Shimin returned to the Manlu Hall, he happened to see Empress Changsun reading a book. She had never given birth to another child since she gave birth to her daughter. However, even so, it made her body healthier.

In history, in addition to physical reasons for the early death of Queen Changsun, Ye Tan believed that having too many children was also a reason.

Seeing Li Shimin walking in with a bad look on his face, she put down her book, took a teapot from the side, poured a cup of tea for Li Shimin, and said, "Erlang, come and have a sip of tea. Dinner will be served later."

The food in the palace is not like what you usually watch in TV dramas. You can eat it at any time and you have time. This is for the sake of rules. Even the emperor must abide by it. Maybe in the later period, everyone will not be too careful.

I care about it, but now I care about it very much. If Li Shimin wants to become a good emperor, he must do this kind of thing.

Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl and felt that the temperature of the tea inside was just right. He took a sip and felt a sweet aroma, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Erlang, what makes you do this? I wonder if I can comfort you?" Empress Changsun's skin is fair and tender, and she has been sleeping well recently, so she is in a lot of spirits. Since Princess Chengyang was born, she has begun to cultivate herself.

"Hey, it seems that this year's drought and locust plague are inevitable." Li Shimin drank the tea in the tea bowl in one gulp, and then slowly said this sentence. Since he ascended the throne, nothing particularly good has happened.

, first the Turks invaded the border, and then there were droughts and locust plagues. Sometimes he wondered, was it really the right thing for him to do this to get the throne?

"I heard about this, so I specially reduced the expenses in the inner court by 30%. Although it is not much, it is still a show of appreciation. However, the food, cloth and salt may not be so easy to get." Empress Changsun is also considered a civil and military expert.

Shuangquan's understanding of history books is sometimes better than that of Li Shimin, so when I said this, I didn't have any special thoughts.

"Don't worry about this, Cheng Qian has done it." Li Shimin was a little worried when he said this. He had a problem and had to ask his son to help plug the leak. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

"Isn't this a good thing?" As soon as Empress Changsun finished saying this, she saw that Li Shimin's face was not very good. After thinking about it for a moment, she understood and couldn't help but pulled his sleeve and said, "You are a grown man, how can you still eat your son?"

vinegar?"

"No." Li Shimin hugged her in his arms, then found a soft place to sit down, with a slight blush on his face and said, "I just think this matter is weird."

"Hmph, what's weird? I just found out that after I became the emperor, something bad happened, and my son helped you solve it. I haven't seen your majesty like this before?" Empress Changsun's face was slightly red, and she smiled lightly.

He gently took his arm and said.

Although they are a young couple, such intimate actions are very exciting.

Li Shimin had no other thoughts, he simply hugged her, as if she was the only thing he owned.

"Maybe." Li Shimin was really tired during this time. Although he was the emperor, he was doing slave work every day. In addition, he had just ascended the throne and had not straightened out his affairs a lot. He couldn't just show off his power and say yes.

Hack this one to death, kill that one, because of this, I feel even more helpless.

As if sensing the fatigue in Li Shimin's heart, Empress Changsun held his arm with her back and comforted him in a low voice, "Erlang, don't work too hard. You see, you have aged a lot in the past year."

Li Shimin said casually, "Only after I became the emperor did I realize that it is really tiring to be a wise king, but I can't do that."

Empress Changsun knew what he meant. If Li Jiancheng was killed and he didn't behave better, then there would be trouble. Then the words in the history books would be unpleasant. What would be his purpose of seizing the throne?

For a while, the Manna Palace became very quiet, everyone seemed to be thinking about something.
