Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the golden autumn of September, it is the time when the fish in the lake are fat. In the back garden of the Sixi City Palace, there are several large lakes. During this period of time, Li Min will drive a small boat on the lake.  On fishing, his fishing skills used to be very poor, but after this period of practice and study, his fishing skills have improved a lot. In addition, there are many fish in the lake, so he can come back with a full load every time.

    "Your Highness, although there are many fish in this lake, compared with the small lake in Chang'an Palace, there is still a gap. At least the fish in the Palace are fatter than here." Wang An took a carp he caught.  He put it into the bucket next to him and said to Li Min with a smile.

    After Wang An stabilized the general situation of the Japanese country, he handed over the remaining matters to other royal officials. After all, Li Min's territory was expanding too fast now, and there would be more places that needed people to manage in the future. Only he and Lu  Hong, Zhao Fu and others could not control him, so as long as there was an opportunity, he would try his best to leave some things to the officials below, hoping to cultivate a group of usable talents.

    When Li Min heard Wang An's words, he laughed and said: "Master Wang, you are too greedy. The fish in the palace of Chang'an are all fattened by the princess, but the palace over there is not as good as the palace here. Just this back garden  Among them, there are five or six lakes. Although the princess likes to raise fish, she does not have time to raise fish in several lakes. Therefore, although the fish in this lake are not fatter than those in Chang'an, they are also wild and taste good.  It¡¯s better than the one raised by that family!¡±

    After Li Min finished speaking, he was still very focused on fishing, but Wang An next to him glanced at him with concern. When he found that Li Min had no special reaction, there was also a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

    At this moment, Li Min suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand sink. The fish had taken the bait, and he could feel it from the strength of his hand.  This fish is not small yet.  Immediately, I stood up in a hurry, and then slowly followed the strength of the fish to reel in the line. After a while, a big and lively black fish was lifted onto the boat.

    At this time, Wang An also came to help. Together, they took the fish off the hook and put it in the bucket. Blackfish is a carnivorous fish with very delicious meat. Li Min doesn't like eating fish very much.  However, this kind of black fish can still be eaten.

    When Wang An saw that what Li Min caught was a snakehead fish, he also smiled and said: "Your Highness is so lucky today. He caught such a big snakehead fish. Speaking of which, he can cook snakehead fish very well.  An old shop by the Qujiang Pool in Chang'an City. Although the shop is not big, and there are only three members of the shop owner's family running the shop, but the shop owner has a good skill in cooking fish. If he can handle the snakehead fish,  Pan, must be a rare delicacy, but it¡¯s a pity that now that we are thousands of miles apart, it is difficult to go to the Qujiang Pool to taste the fresh fatty fish!¡±

    I heard Wang An¡¯s emotion.  Li Min finally heard some other meanings from it. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what was going on. He immediately laughed and said: "Wang Fu, you have been talking to Chang'an several times today. If it's Lu Hong and the others, that's it.  , do you even want to persuade me to return to Chang'an to fight for the throne?"

    Since the news of Li Chengqian's rebellion reached Si Xian, those under Li Min suddenly became energetic, even though Li Min had offered to withdraw from the struggle for the throne.  But now the situation is special, the prince was deposed for treason.  The remaining King of Wei was unpopular, and the public's support for Li Min was very high. If he could rush back to Chang'an at this time, he would most likely be crowned prince.

    It is precisely because of this intention that the civil servants, mainly Lu Hong and Zhao Fu, and the military generals, mainly Su Dingfang and Lu Qing, wrote letters of love from far away and persuaded in person from near. Although they were all very tactful, their meanings were the same.  It's the same, I just hope he can consider the possibility of returning to Chang'an. After all, if he really gets the position of prince, he will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and they will have a brighter future in the future.

    However, Li Min knew that his family was suffering. He did not want to go back and be trapped in Chang'an City. Even if he really became emperor, if he wanted to realize his ideal, he must first carry out reforms in all aspects of the Tang Dynasty.  The vastness of the country, if he wants to completely succeed in the reform, he doesn¡¯t know if he will have enough time in this life, not to mention that he will encounter various resistances during the reform process. If he is not careful, he may even be the emperor.  He couldn't even sit in his seat, so he would never sit on the throne of the Tang Dynasty unless he was forced to the last step.

    It is precisely because of this that Li Min has always been vague and prevaricating when persuading the following people. People like Lu Hong did not dare to speak too clearly, so there was nothing they could do. However, two days ago,  Lu Hong, Hu Li and others went to see Wen Xin, hoping to let her persuade Li Min. However, Wen Xin didn't care about this kind of thing. She just mentioned it to Li Min and saw that Li Min didn't answer directly.  Never mention it again.

    However, Empress Xiao didn¡¯t know where she got the news, and she showed great enthusiasm for it. She had been reminding him overtly and covertly these days to return to Chang¡¯an. Li Min couldn¡¯t say it openly, so she had no choice but to hide.Empress Xiao, so whenever he had free time these days, he would go boating and fishing on the lake. Unexpectedly, Wang An took the initiative to accompany him today, and actually deliberately brought up the topic of Chang'an. It is said that Wang An should know his ideals and situation best.  The last thing people should do is persuade themselves to go back to Chang'an.

    When Wang An heard Li Min's words, he also smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, the officials in the palace, both civil and military, are trying their best to persuade you to go back to Chang'an. As the king's master, if there is no movement, it will not be good in the future.  Got along.¡±

    As soon as Wang An's words came out, Li Min immediately showed a look of understanding. Everyone in the palace was trying to persuade him. As Wang An was one of them, and he was also the Wang Fu with the responsibility of teaching, he should naturally show his respect at this time.  Otherwise, if you behave too eccentrically, it will be difficult to get along with you in the future.

    However, when Wang An saw the relieved expression on Li Min's face, he immediately said: "In addition, there are already undercurrents surging in Chang'an in order to establish a prince, so the veteran believes that it is not suitable for His Highness to go back at this time, but  Just because His Highness is not going back does not mean that we should just sit back and watch this matter. After all, we will still have close ties with the Tang Dynasty in the future, so the candidate for the position of Prince is also of great importance, so should Your Highness make preparations early?"

    Wang An's words really won Li Min's heart. In fact, not to mention Chang'an, the entire Tang Dynasty was disturbed by the selection of the crown prince. If he goes back at this time, he doesn't know what will happen to him, and maybe even  There will be a repeat of the last assassination in the Yellow River. After all, there are quite a few people in the Tang Dynasty who don't want to see him go back.

    Of course, the candidate for the position of prince is also very important to Li Min. Of course, what Li Min hopes most is for his third brother Li Ke to take the position of prince. Firstly, the two are brothers and have a very good relationship. Secondly, Li Min also  Know the other person¡¯s temperament well.  So if he can ascend to the throne, Li Min can still get great support from Datang in the future.

    However, some things are not what Li Min hopes to achieve. Although Li Ke is good, and his father Li Shimin also values ????him, Li Ke is not a direct descendant like him, and he does not have the same influence as himself, so even if Li Ke  If Shimin wanted to make Li Ke the crown prince, he would probably be opposed by many ministers. For example, Changsun Wuji would definitely be the first to object.  In addition, Li Ke did not have many connections in the court. He would not have a group of civil and military ministers to speak for him like Li Min did. Therefore, unless a miracle happened, Li Ke would never be able to sit on the throne of the prince.

    Thinking of his third brother Li Ke, Li Min also sighed secretly. As a brother, he couldn't help in this matter.  But it doesn't matter if Li Ke can't take the throne. As early as when Li Min said that he would not compete for the throne, he had a conversation with Changsun Wuji. Like him, the other party was not optimistic about Li Chengqian and Li Tai, so  Turning his attention to the younger Li Zhi, Li Min did not object to this, and even acquiesced to Changsun Wuji's behavior, but he warned him in advance not to have any inappropriate thoughts.

    Thinking of his conversation with Changsun Wuji, Li Min pretended to be mysterious and smiled at Wang An: "Wang Fu, in fact, we don't need to do anything about the establishment of a prince. I have already talked with a person at the beginning. The following is  He will do it for us."

    Wang An was shocked when he heard that Li Min had made arrangements. He originally thought that he knew Li Min very well, but he didn't expect that Li Min had expected this day when it came to the crown prince's position. This made Wang An surprised.  While he admired Li Min, he also felt a sense of awe in his heart, and the expression on his face became more respectful.

    However, Li Min did not pay attention to the change in Wang An's expression. Instead, he thought of another thing and immediately said: "Wang Fu, I remember that my eldest brother was demoted to Shanghai. Did he take the waterway or the land route?"

    When Wang An heard this, he immediately understood and bowed and replied: "Your Highness, according to the news from Chang'an, the deposed prince took the Yellow River waterway, and then took a sea ship to Shanghai, so he will definitely pass through Dengzhou in the middle. If your Highness wants to see you,  As soon as he sees the deposed prince, he will leave for Dengzhou in the next few days. After all, counting the days, he will soon reach the mouth of the Yellow River."

    Li Min nodded after hearing this. Although the relationship between Li Chengqian and him was not very good at the beginning, he was his eldest brother after all. Although he was demoted now, if he passed through Dengzhou, he would have to meet him anyway.  When he met the other party, it was not that he wanted to show the world that he valued brotherhood in order to buy his reputation, but that he really wanted to talk to Li Chengqian about something.

    Just as Li Min was preparing to return to Dengzhou to wait for Li Chengqian's fleet to be dispatched, a major event that affected the history of the Tang Dynasty was happening in the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City. However, no one thought that the history of the Tang Dynasty would change because of a certain event.  Changed by one person's words.  (To be continued)
