    "Hey, husband, why are you still here? I've been looking for you for a long time." Just when Li Ke was sitting in the palace and thinking about something, suddenly several women came in from outside the palace. The one who spoke was the leader, Princess Wu, followed by  It was a few maids carrying trays.

    "Oh! It's nothing, I have something to think about!" Li Ke was awakened by his wife's voice. He turned to look at the gentle and virtuous princess, with a touch of tenderness in his heart, "Wan'er, you have tasted the seafood Liulang sent just now,  How does it taste?" Princess Wu is a sibling of Concubine Yang, and is also considered a cousin with Li Ke and Li Min. Wan'er is her nickname, and only her closest relatives and Li Ke would call her that.

    "The cook at Liulang's house naturally made the delicious food, but Wan'er didn't want to have it all to herself, so she heated it up herself and brought it to her husband to taste together!" Princess Wu said, instructing the maids to place the tray in front of Li Ke.  on the long table, and then take out the plates one by one and put them away.

    Seeing that his wife was in high spirits, Li Ke naturally would not go against her good intentions. He pushed the things on the desk aside and the two sat side by side. The princess filled both of them with wine and then tasted the delicious seafood.  Chatting while drinking.

    "Husband, it seems that you have something on your mind. Can you talk to Wan'er?" While chatting about family matters, Princess Wu suddenly changed the topic and asked something that made Li Ke a little embarrassed.

    "Thisit's nothing actually. It's just that Liulang asked me to do a small favor. I'm just wondering what I want to do." Li Ke said perfunctorily, half-truthfully. He was really thinking about things related to Li Min just now.  But it's definitely not what he said.

    "Husband, you are husband and wife. Do you really not believe in Wan'er?" After hearing this, Princess Wu's face darkened, she turned her head and sighed quietly.

    Li Ke was stunned after hearing this. Did his wife know something? Otherwise, why would she ask this question?

    "Wan'er, you"

    Li Kegang wanted to ask clearly, but before he finished speaking, Princess Wu suddenly turned her face.  With tears in her eyes, she interrupted him: "Husband, I know that you have great ambitions and are not willing to be just a leisurely prince. And this time the prince is injured, it is a great opportunity, but the fourth brother Li Tai and the sixth brother Li  I am most favored by my father. My husband, although your talents and courage are very comparable to others, but if you can't get your father's approval, what's the use of thinking about it? "

    Hearing his wife¡¯s painstaking advice, Li Ke was speechless.  As an ambitious and ambitious prince, he naturally covets the throne. In the past, the prince Li Chengqian had always performed well. Coupled with his status as the eldest son, the prince's position was very stable, even with Li Taishang.  He was jumping up and down to show off in front of his father, but only Li Chengqian could keep his composure.  Sooner or later the throne will be his.

    But this time after Li Chengqian became disabled, everything became different. First of all, with his father's temperament, he definitely didn't want a cripple to ascend the throne. Even some ministers would have the same idea.  Coupled with Li Chengqian's usual willfulness and domineering behavior, some people have already been dissatisfied with him. If he seizes this opportunity, he will definitely attack Li Chengqian, and it is very likely to pull him down from the position of prince. The difference is  It's just a matter of time.

    If Li Chengqian is deposed.  So the most popular candidates for the crown prince are naturally Li Tai and Li Min. However, although Li Tai is quite talented in literature, he does not know how to behave. His relationship with the civil and military ministers in the DPRK is extremely bad. Even if his father wants to make him the crown prince, he will definitely not do it.  Encountered great resistance.

    "Wan'er, if Liu Lang takes the throne, what do you think he will do to me? Will our brothers still be as close as we are now?" Li Ke thought for a long time and suddenly sighed and asked.

    Their brothers had the blood of the Yang family of the previous dynasty and had no chance of being crowned kings. But now Li Min performed extremely well and was praised by all the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China. In addition, Li Min had used various new inventions to weave a web of interests.  Everyone in the court was caught in the net, and his father's favor for Li Min, which even exceeded Li Tai in some places, was visible to everyone. Therefore, if Li Min could ascend the throne, it would naturally be in line with the general rule.  the wishes of some people.

    "Husband, if Liu Lang can ascend the throne, he will naturally be popular with everyone, but as an emperor, sometimes he will naturally put aside family ties, just like his father now." Princess Wu sighed.  The most ruthless imperial family. Although Li Shimin sometimes behaves like a loving father to his children, when facing state affairs, he has no mercy at all. For example, this time the prince Li Chengqian, although he is the eldest son and the queen  The relationship with His Majesty is also very deep, but for the sake of the face of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian will be deprived of the crown prince's position sooner or later.

    "Oh, no matter what aspect, I am not as good as my sixth brother. If he can ascend to the throne, my mother and concubine will also be happy. Then our husband and wife will return to the fiefdom. As long as we can keep the people of one side safe and prosperous, I will also be happy in this life."  No regrets!" Li Ke thought for a long time and suddenly said with a depressed look.

    He asked himself that his talent was not as good as that of Li Min.As Li Min was so favored, and the two were brothers, he didn't want to cause any rift in the brothers' relationship. Otherwise, the saddest thing would be their mother, Concubine Yang. Based on these considerations, Li Ke finally decided to  He gave up the fight for the throne because based on his understanding of Li Min, it seemed that the other party did not have much interest in the throne.

    Just when the situation in Chang'an was surging secretly, Li Min also received a letter from Wang Zihao. He did not expect that Li Chengqian's leg would eventually become lame. Based on his understanding of history, Li Chengqian slowly became lame only after his leg became lame.  Slowly, he began to degenerate from his low self-esteem, and even his temper became very weird. It was precisely because of his behavior that Li Shimin was very disappointed. The idea of ??Yi Chu in his heart became more determined, and he slowly pulled away from Li Tai.  Waiting for the prelude of several princes competing for the position of prince.

    Although Li Min is now in Dengzhou, he can still imagine the flashes of swords and swords in Chang'an City. He has been away as an official for a year, and it seems that half of it will soon pass. If he returns to Chang'an by then, who knows what he will face  What kind of situation?  Think about the consequences of several princes fighting for the throne. Li Chengqian and Li Tai were demoted, Li You rebelled and was killed. As a result, Li Ke became enemies with Changsun Wuji, laying the foundation for his future murder. In the end, Li Zhi was picked up.  So cheap.

    Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. He was no longer the Li Min who was not favored by Li Shimin in history. Instead, he was one of the most favored sons like Li Tai. Although he had no intention of becoming the emperor, he had even  He had expressed his feelings to the emperor, but others did not think so, and his identity was destined to be involved in the battle for the throne. This was what Li Min was most worried about, so he thought about it continuously.  I haven't come up with any good countermeasures for a long time, unless he stays in Dengzhou and never goes back. Unfortunately, this is not realistic at all. As soon as he returns to Chang'an, he will probably be involved immediately, and it will be difficult to escape.

    Although I was worried about the situation in Chang'an, things still had to be done. More and more fishermen in Dengzhou were absorbed into the food factories opened in various places, and a group of fishermen were slowly formed in the fishery sector, headed by Li Min's fleet.  In a situation where various large and small fishing teams coexist, as for the individual fishermen who used to be the largest group, they are already very rare. Even if you occasionally encounter a few offshore, most of them take advantage of their free time to catch a few for their own consumption.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Min personally stepped forward as the governor of Dengzhou to integrate these fishing teams and formed the Dengzhou Marine Fishing Association. It was similar in form to the original cement association, but because fishery was related to the food and clothing of the people of Dengzhou  Therefore, the Tengzhou government is deeply involved in this association, and the fishing teams within the association are subject to more restrictions, such as regulations on the size of the mesh of fishing nets and price regulations on various fish.  Division of fishing areas, etc.

    After finishing the fishery affairs, Lu Qing and the others were about to finish their rehearsals. Li Min was planning to hold another farewell ceremony for them on the day they officially set sail, but suddenly someone came from outside to report that last time  The people sent to Chang'an came back, and the things and people Li Min wanted were also delivered. Li Min was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately went out to check.

    "Liu Xuan, head of the Ministry of Industry, pays homage to His Royal Highness King Qi!" Li Min walked to the main hall of the palace and immediately saw a row of carriages parked there. There were dozens of people dressed as craftsmen standing next to them. One of them was wearing a ninth-grade uniform.  As soon as the junior officer in official uniform saw Li Min, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.

    "You don't need to be polite, Mr. Liu. You've worked hard on this journey!" Li Min looked at the craftsmen in front of him and said with excitement. Although the steam engine Yifan was designed, problems always occurred because the materials and production techniques were not up to par.  In the end, Li Min became cruel and wrote a letter to Duan Lun himself. The letter used all kinds of coercion and inducement, and finally let him lend him the best casting craftsmen for a period of time. These people in front of him represent the Tang Dynasty.  With the most advanced casting technology, if even they couldn't make a usable steam engine, then Li Min could only seal the drawings of the steam engine and wait for future generations to complete this great task.

    "Your Majesty, our trip by boat did not feel very strenuous!" Manager Liu said very respectfully, and other craftsmen also followed suit and saluted.

    "Hey, are all the steel in your truck brought by the Ministry of Industry?" Li Min looked at the row of large trucks. In addition to asking for people, he also asked Duan Lun for the best steel.  But if this car is equipped with all, it would be too much.

    "Your Highness, we did not pull steel this time, but three of the best steel-making craftsmen came with us. This car is equipped with casting tools. Because they are more important, they are all pulled.  Come to the palace." Liu Xuan explained with a smile. Although he was of low rank, it was really rare for him to remain calm when facing Li Min.

    When Li Min heard this, he opened the car door curiously and took a look. As a result, he didn't recognize almost anything inside, so he had to give up.  Then he praised the other party a few words and asked someone to take them to rest first. Then he excitedly went to Zhao Fu's house to find Yifan, hoping to bring them back.This good news told her that at this time, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were both present in the Zhao Mansion. If nothing unexpected happened, the three of them would meet each other for the first time.  (To be continued)!  ~!
