After a while, Fang Xuanling got up again and said goodbye.
This time, Li Shimin didn't stop again, nodded slightly, and asked people to prepare two taels of Chengde tea for Fang Xuanling, and then watched Fang Xuanling step out of the palace.
"Go, go to Zhao Guogong's mansion, and let Zhao Guogong come to see me!"
Fang Xuanling walked for about ten minutes, and after Li Shimin reviewed the folds alone for a while, he suddenly gave an order to the waiter on night duty outside.
The chamberlain was ordered to leave the palace, and about a quarter of an hour later, before Li Shimin's new cup of hot tea was cold, Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao State, bowed down to the palace door and bowed his head to meet him.
Give the seat, serve the tea, and by the way, retreat the left and right, just like when Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanling will be light.
The eldest grandson Wuji sat down quietly, Li Shimin didn't take the lead to speak, and he couldn't take the initiative to ask, so he could only bow his head and drink tea, savoring the unique aroma contained in this new tea.
Chengde tea is now famous among the celebrities in Chang'an, and a "Book of Tea" is even more admired by the eldest grandson Wuji.
It's just a pity that this Chengde tea is now very little in circulation in the Chang'an market, and the eldest grandson Wuji asked people to buy it for three days, but he didn't even buy half a penny, and finally he was lucky enough to drink a cup in Cheng Yanjin's house.
"Auxiliary, the drought in the seven counties in the northwest is getting worse and worse, what new insights do you have here?"
Li Shimin opened his mouth and mentioned the drought in the northwest again, and the eldest grandson Wuji put down the teacup in his hand and replied respectfully: "Weichen is incompetent, and now there is no better idea except for opening warehouses in various places to release grain and the imperial court seconding money and grain nearby to step up rescue." ” Li Shimin nodded lightly, he didn't expect the eldest grandson Wuji to come up with a better solution, natural and man-made disasters cannot be avoided at all, except for using money and food to smash hard, otherwise no one can do anything.
"That's the truth, but the problem now is that the household inventory is now empty, and it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice."
The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned: "The household department has no money?"
This can't be, the harvest in previous years was good, especially last year, not to say that only half a year's tax silver is enough for tens of millions, and rice grain has filled the granaries in various places, how can it be said that it is gone?
” Li Shimin was embarrassed again.
However, he also saw that the household department had no money, and the secrecy work was really good, and he didn't even know that the left servant of Shangshu in the current dynasty did not know that Fang Xuanling was still as reliable as ever.
"If the family business is big, the expenses will naturally not be saved, and this is also something that cannot be helped."
Li Shimin lightly revealed the matter, and then said: "In order to solve the problem of disaster relief money and food, Xuan Ling just made a suggestion to me, and I called you here to hear your opinion on this matter. ” Next, Li Shimin briefly explained Fang Xuanling's desire to make tea and sell tea to accumulate money, and then quietly looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, waiting for his reply.
"This must not happen!"
The eldest grandson Wuji looked a little excited, and objected loudly: "Chengde tea is made by Chengqian, and it should be privately owned, and the court does this, it is simply taking it without telling it, and it is a robbery act!"
Not to mention that this is unfair to Qian'er, if it spreads in the future, how will the people of the world view the court?
If the craftsmen learned of this, they would also worry about whether their craft would end up like this in the future, and how could they be willing to study it again in the future.
Holy Lord, this is fishing in the dry waters, not taken by the wise!
” The eldest grandson, Wuji, has reason to object.
Li Chengqian is not just a waste prince to him, Li Chengqian is also his own nephew, and Li Chengqian has half of the blood of their eldest grandson's family.
As a personal uncle, the eldest grandson Wuji has a reason to strive for more and more favorable interests for his own nephew.
Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, at this time I know that the waste prince is your nephew, in the past six months, the waste prince's family has lived so hard in Fuchuan, and even eating has become a problem, why don't you see you, the uncle, sending someone to help them in the slightest?
You are his own uncle, even if you really send someone to send money and gifts to that rebel, who would dare to say more than half a word?
No matter how careful I am, I wouldn't be indifferent to watching my son starve to death outside, right?
For the eldest grandson Wuji, who is cautious in everything and wisely protects himself, for fear of provoking fire, Li Shimin has criticized him more than once in his heart.
But in any case, this person is his eldest brother, and he is also an important minister of the country, and his ability to handle political affairs and state affairs is also outstanding.
"Cheng Qian is different from others, he is my son, he is the royal bloodline, even if I take everything that belongs to him, no one will dare to say anything!"
Li Shimin's tone was tough.
The eldest grandson Wuji was silent and did not continue to fight for Li Chengqian.
"What do you think about Cheng Qian's assassination in Fuchuan?"
Li Shimin naturally shifted the topic to the case of the assassination of the abolished prince, "Do you think that among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who is most likely to do such a bold and exterminating thing?"
” The eldest grandson Wuji felt a pang in his heart, feeling that this was the real purpose of Li Shimin calling him over tonight.
"Anyone is possible."
The eldest grandson Wuji was no longer silent, because he knew that this was a question that must be answered, and if he didn't answer it, or if he couldn't answer it to Li Shimin's satisfaction, he would probably be unlucky.
"However, there are only a few people who can do things so seamlessly, and the King of Shu, King Wu and others who previously competed with Cheng Qian for the position of prince have the motivation and ability.
There are also old ministers and important ministers who have been involved with Chengqian in the DPRK, such as Fang Qiao, Cheng Zhijie, Xiao Yu and Weichen, who also have this ability. ” "In addition, there are also some rebellions from other countries hidden in the shadows who want to disturb the Tang Dynasty, and they also have this motive......"
The eldest grandson Wuji replied with the same head, and like Fang Xuanling, he also put himself among the objects of suspicion.
The only difference is that when Fang Xuanling mentioned Li Shimin's sons, he emphasized the crown prince Li Zhi, but when he came to the eldest grandson Wuji, he deliberately avoided Li Zhi and did not mention it. is also his own nephew, but the eldest grandson Wuji takes good care of Li Zhi, but he doesn't know a word about Li Chengqian, who is far away in Fuchuan.
Li Shimin seems to see the eldest grandson Wuji's personality more clearly, pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, as long as the interests of their eldest grandson family can be guaranteed, whether Li Chengqian is the prince or Li Zhi is the prince, it is the same for him, who is an uncle.
In fact, the reason why Li Shimin chose Li Zhi to be the crown prince is not because he likes Li Zhi's personality, but why not consider this?

With the support of an uncle like the eldest grandson Wuji, who can be called the anchor of the sea in the middle of the court, as long as Li Zhi does not die by himself like Li Chengqian, the position of the crown prince can naturally be more stable.
The game in the court was originally like this, and at the same time they were suspicious of each other and relied on each other, and Li Shimin had already seen it thoroughly.
It's just a pity that Li Chengqian, who originally held a good hand of cards, occupied the righteousness of his eldest son, and had the strong support of the eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji and a large number of orthodox courtiers above the court, but in the end he ended up ruined.
In addition to pity and regret, Li Shimin also had to admit that his son was a complete idiot, and he was not suitable for the court at all, and it was no wonder that the eldest grandson Wuji was so disappointed in him in the last few years, and even directly cut off contact with him.
"What about the crown prince?"
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't mention it, but Li Shimin gently pointed him out, "Doesn't he have a little doubt?"
” The corners of Eldest Sun Wuji's eyebrows twitched twice unconsciously, and he said loudly: "Weichen thinks it's impossible!"
Zhi'er's character should be clear, he and Qian'er are brothers, and they will definitely not have such vicious thoughts. ” "Besides, Zhi'er is now the crown prince and the prince of the country appointed by the emperor himself, and he has no reason to kill a brother who has completely lost power, because no matter whether he succeeds or fails, it will not benefit him in the slightest!"
The eldest grandson Wuji tried hard to defend Li Zhi, and he didn't say whether the crown prince was capable of doing this, but in terms of motives and interests, it didn't matter at all.
A deposed prince cannot threaten his current status as a prince at all.
Li Shimin nodded noncommittally, no longer dwelling on this issue, but continued to ask the same question as Fang Xuanling: "I want Cheng Qian to live, even if it is a hundred years after me, he can live in peace, what good way do you have for the auxiliary machine?"
” The eldest grandson Wuji didn't think about it, and said directly: "Let Cheng Qian die in Fuchuan once, and everything will no longer be a problem!"
” "If a living waste prince may still turn the tables, and there may be threats and fears to the existence of some people, then a dead waste prince has no worries about this at all."
The eldest grandson Wuji spoke eloquently, and it was clear that he had thought about this question a long time ago.
Li Shimin's eyes shrunk, and the answer of the eldest grandson Wuji turned out to be the same as Fang Xuanling!
Did the heroes see something the same way, or did they have something similar to talk about beforehand?
Li Shimin shook his head slightly, and quickly put out his mind the idea of the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling joining forces to fool him, because this approach was too clumsy and too straightforward, and it was not at all like the style of the two major strategists in the DPRK and China.
This should just be a coincidence, a coincidence where two people all think that the deposed prince deserves to die once!
"Okay, it's not early, let's go back and rest!"
Sent the eldest grandson Wuji away, Li Shimin then summoned Chu Suiliang, Xiao Yu, Ma Zhou and many other old ministers and important ministers in the court, and the content of the conversation was similar, first natural disasters, and then assassins, and all the ministers were a little worried about it.
However, on the issue of letting Li Chengqian fake his death once to ensure his integrity, Li Shimin did not ask a third person except for Fang Xuanling and his eldest grandson Wuji.
