Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After learning about the rumor, Li Min came to Wang An for discussion. The two agreed that they must keep a low profile when they return to Chang'an this time and try not to come into contact with anyone with a sensitive identity. After all, rumors can kill people, especially  It's because when it comes to changing the throne, you have to be careful no matter what, so he returned to Chang'an like a thief.

    The first thing he did when he returned to Chang'an was naturally to report to Li Shimin at the palace, and then told Li Shimin in detail about the attack on Weizhou that night, and also told Li Shimin the results of the interrogation. However,  Li Min finally said that although all the evidence pointed to Li Chengqian, he believed that the matter was definitely not that simple.  .

    After hearing this, Li Shimin remained silent. After a while, he patted Li Min on the shoulder and said, "Liu Lang, it's fortunate that you encountered this matter, so that the other party's conspiracy didn't succeed. If it had been your fourth brother,  If you encounter one, you still don¡¯t know how much trouble there will be?¡±

    Li Min was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then immediately asked anxiously: "Father, from what you said, do you already know who is the mastermind behind this matter?"

    After hearing this, Li Shimin sneered and said: "Liu Lang, when the other party attacked you, they made careful arrangements and preparations in terms of time and place. You can be sure that the other party is not only very familiar with your itinerary, but also paid attention to it in advance.  A lot of investigations have been done, but with such a sophisticated investigation, how could the other party not know the number of guards around you?"

    When Li Min heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.  It seemed like I thought of something, but I couldn't catch it.

    Li Shimin didn't notice Li Min's hard thinking.  Then he continued: "Since the other party knows the number of guards around you, they actually sent the Yellow River Gang to attack you in the end. My father has already investigated. Although the Yellow River Gang helps brave and ruthless people, they want to use a thousand  It is simply a fantasy for multiple people to defeat your thousand-man escort. If the other party really wants to kill you, why would they send this ragtag group of people to attack your fleet?"

    Li Shimin¡¯s words seemed to open a window for Li Min.  Suddenly the fog in Li Min's heart was blown away, and he saw the truth that he had never been able to see clearly before.  According to Li Shimin, the other party didn't actually want to kill him at all, but wanted to kill him through this assassination.  To achieve their deeply hidden purpose.

    "Father, do you mean that the other party wants to use this matter to provoke conflicts between the sons and the eldest brother, and even trigger a fight for the throne?" Li Min gritted his teeth and said with a murderous look on his face.  If it weren't for Li Shimin's reminder, he really wouldn't have thought of this. At the same time, he felt a little regretful because he decided to keep this matter secret, so he never mentioned it to Wang An.  Otherwise, with the intelligence of the other party, he must have seen the real secret behind the assassination.

    But as soon as Li Min said these words, he immediately thought of another question. He couldn't help but frown and asked again: "But my father and I are a little confused. What good will it do to them if the other party provokes a fight for the throne?"

    Li Shimin laughed loudly after hearing this. His son has always been smart and he got along well with him.  It doesn't feel like he is facing his own son at all, but like a well-matched opponent. However, no matter how smart he is, he is still lacking in these conspiracies. After all, he is still too young, so it is normal for him not to understand.  , looking at Li Min's puzzled look at this time, he finally felt like a father teaching his son.

    "Liu Lang, don't be misled by the other party. Think about it carefully. If you participate in the battle for the throne, will you still have the energy to do other things?" Li Shimin had an unpredictable expression on his face. The real purpose of this attack  , in fact, it still lies with Li Min, because the other party wants to use this matter to divert all Li Min's attention to the throne, and then they will wait for an opportunity to do other things. By then, even if Li Min wants to take care of it, he will be unable to do anything else.  .

    "Five Surnames and Qi Wang!" Li Min said fiercely. Now he finally figured it out. Although he still didn't know which family of Five Surnames and Qi Wangs was responsible, the real culprit behind the scenes must be one of them. Of course,  It is also possible that two, three, or even several families worked together, and their purpose for doing this was actually very simple, that is, to make Li Min fall into the struggle for the throne and have no time to deal with their subsequent suppression of industry and commerce.

    "Hmph, a few days ago some officials from aristocratic families wrote a letter, saying that the domestic industry and commerce were rampant, causing farmers to not think about farming, but only thinking about fancy tricks, resulting in a significant reduction in domestic food production, so they asked the court to issue an order to restrict the activities of industry and commerce.  The scale, etc., although these are just small figures, the temptation is very clear, and more people will definitely be mobilized to put pressure on the court in the future."

    There was a hint of murderous intent in Li Shimin's sneer. Originally, he was a little worried about the development of industry and commerce, and was thinking about whether to restrict it. After all, agriculture is the foundation of the country, but those aristocratic families really bullied people too much. In order to achieve  beatFor the purpose of suppressing industry and commerce, since he did not hesitate to provoke a fight between the princes, and even dared to send people to attack Li Min's fleet, it was obvious that the other party did not take the Li family seriously, which made Li Shimin very angry.  , made up his mind to suppress those wealthy families no matter what.

    While Li Min was angry, he also felt deeply for the first time that the methods of those aristocratic families were sophisticated and ruthless. If he hadn't had any intention of coveting the throne, he would probably have let them do it.  You succeeded.

    It¡¯s not Li Min¡¯s character not to fight back when beaten, but it¡¯s best to have the emperor¡¯s father¡¯s support in this matter, otherwise problems may arise.  So Li Min didn't rush to see Concubine Yang. Instead, he talked secretly with Li Shimin for a long time. Not only did he explain Wang An's three strategies at the beginning, but he also talked about some of the methods he had thought of. Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he was excited.  Rub your hands together.

    However, after the excitement, Li Shimin severely criticized Li Min. The reason was that if there was such a good method, why not come up with it earlier? Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would not have to worry about food problems.

    After talking about this, Li Min talked about the ways he thought of to fight back against the wealthy families such as the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. Although in Li Min's opinion, they were just two very common methods, but after hearing what Li Shimin heard,  , but it was like an enlightenment, but the cost of these two methods was not a small amount. Although with the development of industry and commerce, the revenue of the national treasury has also increased greatly, but just after the Battle of Goguryeo, the national treasury is really not very rich. All of a sudden  Li Shimin was a little reluctant to spend so much money.

    However, these two methods are both contemporary and future-proof moves that benefit the country and the people. If they can be successfully implemented, not only can the influence of the aristocratic family be minimized, but the legacy of the old Li family will also be greatly reduced.  More stable.  Thinking of this, Li Shimin finally decided to agree.

    Seeing Li Shimin's somewhat pained expression, Li Min smiled and said, "Father, in fact, these two things don't cost the court much at all. As long as you leave this matter to your son, not only can we help you  Save a lot of money and get these two things done as quickly as possible!¡±

    "Oh, what can you do?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up after hearing this. He knew that his son only had other abilities, but when it came to making money, he was definitely the best in the world. I heard that many businessmen have already  Li Min is described as the God of Wealth descending to earth. No matter what happens, as long as it passes through Li Min's hands, it will immediately become worth a hundred times. Now that he can come up with ways to save money, it is probably a piece of cake for him.

    "Hey, Father, surprises are fun. Let me tell you now, isn't that boring?" Li Min said with a smile.

    Li Shimin laughed loudly after hearing this. Since Li Min refused to say anything, he would not ask. Anyway, he was assured of his son and knew that he would not mess around. Moreover, he also came up with the method of attacking the wealthy family. It was up to him to  It makes sense to be responsible.

    After talking about the business, Li Shimin was ready to let Li Min leave. After all, Concubine Yang was still waiting for the son she hadn't seen for more than a year. However, just when Li Min was about to leave, he saw Li Shimin calling him out with an embarrassed look on his face.  He hesitated and said: "Um Liulang, your mother-in-law may talk to you about something. Don't be too surprised for a while, be mentally prepared first!"

    Li Min was stunned after hearing this, and asked strangely: "Father, what do you want to discuss with me?"

    "Haha, this" Li Shimin's face was very strange, and he seemed to have a bit of helplessness, "You will know when you go there, but your mother-in-law is pregnant now, so don't go against her temper, otherwise not only will you have to  Too bad, you can¡¯t even live in peace as a father! Also, you are absolutely not allowed to say a word about what happened in Pyongyang!¡±

    Li Min felt even more strange after hearing this, but judging from Li Shimin's appearance, he definitely couldn't ask anything. As for the incident in Pyongyang mentioned later, it was naturally his affair with the Queen of Silla, which killed Li Min.  I didn't dare to tell Concubine Yang, and I didn't need Li Shimin's reminder at all.

    In desperation, Li Min had no choice but to thank Li Shimin for the reminder, and then turned to leave. However, he did not notice that when he thanked Li Shimin, a look of guilt flashed on Li Shimin's face.

    Li Min left Li Shimin's Liangyi Palace. It was almost noon, and he was hungry. He could just go to Concubine Yang's place for a meal. However, Concubine Yang was pregnant now, so she would definitely not be able to cook in person. This was a bit embarrassing.  It's a pity that he always likes to drink the chicken soup stewed by Concubine Yang herself.

    When Li Min arrived at the Wangyun Palace where Concubine Yang lived, he was told by the palace maid that Concubine Yang was not in the palace at all, but in the pavilion in the garden. When Li Min followed the palace maid to the pavilion, he finally saw Concubine Yang sitting on a rocking chair.  He caressed his bulging belly with a happy face, still holding the book in his hand, just reading and talking to himself with the baby in his belly, a standard expressionMotherly look.

    However, when Concubine Yang saw Li Min, her face did not show the joy of seeing her son again after a long absence. Instead, her face was stern and she angrily yelled at Li Min: "You bastard, get out of here!"
