    The arrival of Wang An finally solved the problem for Li Min. Firstly, he was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, which made Xiao Yu, who valued his family background, attach great importance to him. Secondly, Xiao Yu's eldest daughter-in-law was also named Wen Xin.  His aunt, Mrs. Wang, was from the Wang family in Taiyuan, so Xiao Yu was very enthusiastic about Wang An and even had no time to pay attention to Li Min.

    After being polite for a while, Xiao Yu did not forget what Wang An said when he came in, so he quickly asked: "Qiu Hong, you just said that Liu Lang had a last resort, but you don't know what the difficulty is?"

    Qiuhong is Wang An¡¯s nickname. Xiao Yu¡¯s daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, is of the same generation as Wang An. Therefore, Wang An is also Xiao Yu¡¯s junior, so Xiao Luo calls her by his nickname.

    "This" Wang An said this and glanced at Wen Xin next to him, then turned to Xiao Yu and smiled, "Old Duke Xiao, there is a garden on the right side of Prince Qi's Mansion, and there happen to be a few plum blossoms in bloom. How about we  How about setting up a banquet in the warmth of the garden, and let¡¯s drink and talk while admiring the plum blossoms?¡±

    Xiao Yu thought that Wang An had something to say that it was not good to say in front of his granddaughter, and the other party was obviously Li Min's confidant, and he must know the whole story. In this case, there was no need for Li Min to explain it himself, and Xiao Yu also  I know that Li Min is too cunning, and he may be deceived by the other party if he is not careful, so it is safer to let Wang An, who comes from a well-known family, explain.  Thinking of this, Xiao Yu stopped refusing and turned around to teach Li Min a few words before leaving.

    Seeing Xiao Yu leave, Li Min and Wen Xin both breathed a sigh of relief, and Wen Xin even said apologetically: "Husband, my grandfather has a stubborn temper. His words just now were a little harsh, and Wen Xin is here to represent him.  I apologize to you!"

    Wen Xin said, Yingying bowed to Li Min, but she was immediately helped up by Li Min. He also said with a wry smile: "Wen Xin, you and I are husband and wife, why do you have to say these foreign words. Besides, my grandfather's temper  This is not the first time I have experienced this. Although I spoke a bit more bluntly, it was also out of concern for us. I understand all of this."

    After hearing her husband¡¯s words and seeing the expression on his face, Wen Xin couldn¡¯t help but smile.  There were not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who could make Li Min feel so depressed, and his bad-tempered grandfather was one of them.

    Wen Xin is now at the young age of seventeen. Not only has she begun to grow in stature, but her appearance has also become more and more beautiful and refined. Under this smile, she is like an orchid blooming in a deep valley, which makes Li Min, who has long been used to seeing her beauty,  He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of indescribable tenderness in his heart.

    Li Min stretched out his arms and took Wen Xin into his arms.  The result shocked Wen Xin, who was not prepared at all, even though they were husband and wife.  But this is a main hall, not an inner house. Not only are there maids nearby, but someone may break in at any time, so this makes Wen Xin extremely uncomfortable and struggles to get up.  At the same time, he said coquettishly: "Husband, let go, this is the main hall!"

    "Haha~, what's wrong with the main hall, this is our home, I can do whatever I want!" Li Min ignored Wen Xin's struggle at all.  He held him tightly and sat on his lap.  The maids next to him were also very knowledgeable and turned around with a snicker. At the same time, there were people guarding the door of the hall to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

    Wen Xin couldn't help but saw the reaction of the maid in the palace, so she felt relieved and followed Li Min to sit in his arms. However, her face was still flushed and she looked very cute.

    However, when Li Min looked at the adorable Wen Xin in his arms, his face gradually became serious. Finally, he sighed slowly and asked very solemnly: "Wen Xin, do you blame me?"

    After hearing this, Wen Xin looked puzzled and asked, "Why would my husband ask this? Why should I blame you?"

    Looking at the innocent Wen Xin in his arms, Li Min took a long breath and said in a heavy tone: "Wen Xin, with my ability, I was indeed very sure of inheriting the throne of the Tang Dynasty, but for this  I gave up the position that was so easily available to me, which also made you miss the position of mother in the world. Do you really not blame me at all in your heart?"

    At first, Wen Xin's face still had a bit of a smile, but after hearing what her husband said, her face became very serious. After sitting up as straight as possible, she replied seriously: "Husband, you and I have already done this.  After two years of marriage, don¡¯t you understand what Wen Xin is thinking? No matter what you want to do, do it boldly. Although I can¡¯t help a lot, husband, you have to remember that even if the whole world doesn¡¯t understand you  , but Wen Xin will always stand behind you and support you!"

    Wen Xin did not give any answer to Li Min's question, but the meaning she expressed in her words made Li Min feel excited. So what if the whole world didn't understand him?  One Wen Xin is enough!  Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but tighten his arms again.

    In addition, Li Min also thought that he was seriously ill some time ago, and Wen Xin wanted to take care of him.Li Min worked almost day and night, even suffering from dark circles under his eyes. Later, he recovered from his illness, but he was busy with the Winter Games and had no time to spend more time with her and Xijun. This made Li Min feel even more guilty.  feeling.

    When he felt guilty, he had to make up for it. Although there were many people outside asking to see him, Li Min simply pretended to be deaf and ignored everyone outside. Then he stayed with Wen Xin attentively all afternoon. During dinner, the two of them even arrived at Xi'an.  The three of them had a lively meal at Jun's place, and then Li Min left Wenxin there to accompany Xi Jun, but went to the study in the front yard.

    When Li Min opened the study door, Wang An was already sitting there drinking tea.  I saw him walking up with a smile, picking up another tea cup and taking a sip, then he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wang!"

    After hearing this, Wang An showed a rare wry smile and said: "Old Duke Xiao's temper is indeed well-deserved!"

    Li Min laughed after hearing this. With Xiao Yu¡¯s bad temper, Wang An was able to persuade him to leave. This in itself also shows Wang An¡¯s talent.  But before Li Min finished laughing, he heard Wang An say again: "Your Highness, please don't be too happy. Before Mr. Xiao left, he asked me to tell you on his behalf that Your Highness, you owe their Lanling Xiao family a queen!"  "

    As a result, when Li Min heard this, he laughed even harder.  The reason why Xiao Yu was so angry today was not only because he was really worried about Li Min, but also for another important reason, that is, the position of queen that originally belonged to Wen Xin was also taken away.

    I think the Xiao family of Lanling was originally a royal family, but since the destruction of Liang Dynasty, the Xiao family has declined. It was not until the former Sui Dynasty Queen Xiao came out that it became active again, and two people, Xiao Mian and Xiao Yu, emerged.  An outstanding figure, but Xiao Mian's Nanliang has been destroyed, Xiao Yu is getting older, and there has never been anyone among the Lanling Xiao family who can carry the leadership. If Wen Xin can sit on the throne of queen, then for the Xiao family  It is simply an opportunity to rise again, even within a few decades, to ensure that the Xiao family will not leave the political core of the Tang Dynasty.  But this hope was shattered when Li Min took the initiative to abdicate the throne. It's no wonder Xiao Yu lost his temper.

    Seeing Li Xin laughing so freely, Wang An also laughed and shook his head. Xiao Yu was famous for his uprightness, but when facing family interests, he still couldn't help but reveal his true nature. It seems that there is no real person in this world.  People who are not motivated by profit!

    However, after the two of them laughed, Wang An thought deeply for a while, his face turned solemn and asked: "Your Highness, you have the courage and determination to give up the throne, which I admire very much, but do you know that if you do this,  Is it simply easier to give up than to take?"

    Wang An only found out about this yesterday, but with Li Min's help, he had already understood the nature of capital, so he didn't make a fuss like others, but he felt a little pity in his heart.

    When Li Min heard Wang An's words, there was a hint of melancholy on his face. After a while, he finally said: "Master Wang, you are the only one in this world who can understand my move to give up the throne.  , even my father only guessed part of it, because he didn¡¯t know that after the development of industry and commerce, capital has begun to show its power, and I can even say that I can¡¯t help it!¡±

    Wang An was also speechless after hearing this. Li Min said that he couldn't help it. This is indeed true. In fact, when he was mining coal mines, he had already slowly embarked on a path of no return, because with the development of industry and commerce at that time,  The manpower problem is becoming more and more prominent. The solution to this problem is either to increase the exploitation of existing workers or to increase the number of workers.  Li Min did not want his people to be oppressed, so he had to find ways to capture slaves. The Battle of Goguryeo seemed to be accidental, but in fact, the real reason was that the upper-class Guizhou capitalists in the Tang Dynasty urgently needed a large number of slaves.  The development of industry and commerce promoted the outbreak of this war.

    Now with the increasing prosperity of the slave-catching industry in the Tang Dynasty, the manpower problem has been greatly alleviated, but another problem has slowly surfaced, that is, the sales problem of industrial and commercial products. Although the Tang Dynasty has a large population, it itself  The digestion capacity is limited. The more prosperous the industry and commerce are, the more products will be produced. If there is no way to sell so many products, the final result will only cause the Datang version of the economic crisis.

    Although Li Min did not know the consequences of the economic crisis in Datang, he was certain that it would definitely cause instability at all levels of society and even the outbreak of armed conflicts. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, he began to design new ships early.  And they actively developed new shipping routes in order to enhance Datang's overseas trade.

    However, if he just wanted to develop overseas trade, there was no need for Li Min to dethrone the throne. The reason why he made such an unexpected move was that he had a longer-term plan, although his ideas may seem a little bit confusing to others.  It was too unfounded to worry, but Li Min knew that if he took over the throne of the Tang Dynasty for the sake of temporary comfort and speedIf so, I am afraid it will bring greater turmoil to this country in the future!  (To be continued)
