    "Husband, why are you here?" Wen Xin, who was looking at the children with a smile, quickly noticed Li Min's arrival and waved to him gently. Wen Xin was almost six months pregnant and was already in a very inconvenient condition.  So he didn't stand up.

    Li Min also walked to Wen Xin with a smile, looked at the children playing in front of him, and then said: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired from dealing with government affairs, so I came out for a walk."

    Although Li Min tried his best to hide it, he and Wen Xin had already been in tune with each other for many years, so Wen Xin could easily tell that Li Min came to her because he must have something to talk about, so she stood up with a smile, and then pulled Li Min into the bedroom.  , and poured a cup of tea for her husband with her own hands.

    "Husband, just tell me what's on your mind. Although Wen Xin may not be able to help, it's better to say it than to keep it in your heart." Wen Xin sat next to Li Min and said softly.

    Li Min sighed after hearing this, and then told Wang An and others about their proposal to establish a country and call himself emperor.  After hearing this, Wen Xin thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Husband, although I don't understand political affairs, I also know that the establishment of a country is very important to me, but my husband obviously doesn't want to establish a country now, so I'm sure  Do you have any concerns?"

    After hearing this, Li Min nodded and said: "Yes, I do have some concerns. The most important thing is that I am worried about my father's reaction. After all, Taiwan is too close to the Tang Dynasty. If I establish a country and proclaim myself emperor, I will definitely be worried about the Tang Dynasty."  It will create an invisible threat. No matter how much my father dotes on me, he is an emperor first, so it is difficult for me to imagine where the relationship between Datang and Taiwan will go in the future."

    After hearing this, Wen Xin smiled and stretched out her finger, tapped Li Min's forehead and said, "My husband has always been smart, why are you confused about this matter?"

    "What's so confusing?" Li Min was a little confused.

    Wen Xin suddenly patted her bulging belly playfully, and then said with a smile: "Husband, what would you think if I told you that I am not pregnant at all?"

    Li Ke became even more confused when he heard this. He stepped forward and touched Wen Xin's belly and said, "How is this possible? Your belly is so big. Anyone can see it. How is it possible that you are not pregnant?"

    Seeing Li Min's puzzled look, Wen Xin continued to smile and said: "Yes, my belly is already so big. Husband can tell that I am pregnant at a glance. The same goes for you, husband. You have become powerful now.  The father sees all this in his eyes. Even if you don't proclaim the emperor, the father's attitude towards you cannot be the same as before. It's just a simple father's attitude towards his son, so it doesn't matter if you don't proclaim the emperor.  the difference?"

    The so-called wake-up call was actually nothing more than that. Wen Xin¡¯s words woke Li Min up at once.  He had always been worried that proclaiming himself emperor would cause a rift in the father-son relationship between him and Li Shimin. In fact, he was simply stepping into a corner. After all, when his strength developed to a certain level, he would already pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty.  It has nothing to do with whether he is emperor or not.

    In addition, no matter from what aspect, Li Min has the strength to establish a country and proclaim himself an emperor, but Li Min has always suppressed his refusal to proclaim himself an emperor, which will only make Li Shimin more suspicious.  It is believed that Li Min's approach may have greater ambitions, so under the current circumstances, Li Min's proclaimed emperor will make Li Shimin feel at ease.  At the same time reduce the suspicion in your mind.

    After understanding this, Li Min immediately felt enlightened.  No wonder the contact between him and Li Shimin has become less and less in recent years. In the past, Li Shimin often took the initiative to write letters to him, but now in the past few years, Li Min usually writes a letter and then waits for a while.  Only then did I reply to the last letter, and the tone in the letter was not as intimate as before. It turned out that the root of the disease was here.

    "Haha, I understand. I, Li Min, am really blessed to have a good wife at home!" Li Min stood up excitedly, then suddenly leaned over and pecked Wen Xin's red lips.  Leaving laughing.  Wen Xin, on the other hand, looked at Li Min leaving with a sweet look on her face, and at the same time caressed her bulging belly with both hands, feeling very satisfied in her heart.

    A few days later, Li Min summoned Wang An, Lu Hong, Lu Qing, Su Dingfang and other important civil and military officials to the palace. He announced on the spot that he agreed with their previous suggestions and decided to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor. However, Li Min also put forward a condition, that is, he must first  Report this matter to Li Shimin, and he will establish the country only after the other party agrees.

    Wang An and the others had no objection to Li Min's request. After all, Li Min was Li Shimin's son, and they had the same origin as the Tang Dynasty. It was appropriate to ask for permission in advance.

    However, Li Min did not intend to ask Li Shimin for instructions on his own. Instead, he notified Li Zhen and Li Yun about the founding of the country. As a result, the two brothers immediately sent an envoy anxiously and brought a memorial written by them to prepare.  Sent to Chang'an with Li Min.

    Speaking of which, Li Zhen and Li Yun are more free and easy than Li Min.Well, when they first established a foothold in Tianzhu, they were ready to encourage Li Min to establish a country together. However, Li Min felt that there was not enough time, so he ignored it. Now he finally figured it out.

    In the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Shimin had two memorials written by Li Min and the others. However, after reading the two memorials with almost the same content, he pondered for a long time. The expression on his face was also very strange. He could not be said to be happy or worried.  , people can't guess what he is thinking.

    "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for an audience with Lord Changsun, Lord Li and Lord Chu!" A small yellow doorman rushed in and knelt down in the tunnel.

    "Xuan!" Li Shimin said in a low voice.  After receiving the memorial from Li Min, he sent people to invite Changsun Wuji, Li Ji and Chu Suiliang.

    In June last year, Xiao Yu, who was in poor health, suddenly died of illness. In July, Fang Xuanling, who was lingering on the bed, finally passed away. Before his death, Li Shimin personally visited him, held his hand to comfort him, and even sealed Fang Xuanling's youngest son on the spot.  Fang Yi was appointed as a Zhongsan doctor, so that he could see the wealth of his descendants before he died. As a result, Fang Xuanling finally passed away with a smile on his face at the age of seventy. Li Shimin retired from the court for three days and gave him the title of Taiwei, posthumously named Wenzhao.  Buried with Zhaoling.

    What¡¯s even more unfortunate is that at the beginning of this year, Li Jing also fell ill and now he can¡¯t get out of bed at all. Sun Simiao went to diagnose and treat him, but there was no way to save him. He only said that he could save Li Jing¡¯s life for half a year.

    It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin only had Changsun Wuji and a few other important ministers around him. Even when the three Li Min brothers wanted to establish a country, he could only leave Changsun Wuji, Li Ji and Chu  Suiliang and three others came to discuss.

    After Changsun Wuji and the others came in, Li Shimin showed them the memorials of Li Min and the others. As a result, all three of them frowned, secretly calculating the pros and cons of this matter.

    "Wuji, what do you think about this matter?" Li Shimin asked. After Fang Xuanling's death, the only person in the civil and military dynasties who could take over the position was Changsun Wuji. Although Li Shimin was worried about the monopoly of his relatives, there was really no one in his hands.  available, so in the end he had to appoint Changsun Wuji as prime minister.

    Changsun Wuji took a step forward, lowered his head and reported back: "Your Majesty, King Jiang and King Yue are still weak, but they are far away from the Tang Dynasty and they are relatively young, so it is normal for them to have the ambition to found a country.  The King of Qi is powerful, but he is closest to the Tang Dynasty and has the deepest relationship with His Majesty. Although he has already had the strength to establish a country, he has always been worried about Your Majesty's attitude, so he has never dared to establish a country. But today he and King Jiang  , and the King of Yue sent this memorial together, it must have been forced by his ministers, forcing him to make a choice."

    Changsun Wuji was worthy of being the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He immediately guessed Li Min's true situation, and even guessed the thoughts of Li Zhen and Li Yun. Li Shimin nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

    At this time, Changsun Wuji continued to say: "Based on what I have learned, it is already the general trend for King Qi to establish a kingdom. Otherwise, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the officials. This is obviously something His Highness King Qi does not want to see, and he sent someone to send a memorial."  , In fact, I just want to be recognized by His Majesty so that I can appear legitimate."

    In fact, Changsun Wuji still has something to say, that is, even if Li Shimin does not agree, I am afraid that Li Min will establish a country on his own, but this will definitely cause a rift in the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Min.

    Li Shimin naturally heard what Changsun Wuji said, but he turned to look at Li Ji and Chu Suiliang. As a result, he only saw the two of them looking at each other, and then they stepped forward together and said: "Your Majesty, my ministers also  I think Lord Changsun¡¯s analysis is very reasonable, and King Qi may no longer be able to withstand the domestic pressure.¡±

    "I understand!" Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief. With his wisdom, he could naturally analyze the above results, but he needed someone to help him make this decision.

    The eldest grandson was also relieved. Li Min established his country overseas, so he would definitely not come back to compete with Li Zhi for the throne. In this way, Li Zhi's position as prince could be more stable. As an uncle, he would naturally  You can also feel more at ease.

    A few days later, Li Shimin gave Li Min, Li Zhen, and Li Yun an imperial edict, allowing them to establish their country overseas.  However, Li Min soon discovered that if he wanted to found a country, there was still a problem, that is, what country name should be used.  The country name is not randomly determined, and generally has a certain origin. For example, the country name of the Tang Dynasty is Tang. This is because Li Yuan was named Tang Guogong before the uprising.  According to this logic, Li Min's national title should be "Qi", after all, his title is King of Qi.

    Li Min was quite satisfied with the country name "Qi", but because there was already a Qi country during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was later destroyed by Qin, it was a bit unlucky to say, so some ministers objected, thinking that this name should not be used.  Country name.  But later Li Min discovered that the historical King of Qi was famous for his wealth and was also relatively business-oriented, which was somewhat similar to him.After finally overcoming all opinions, the country's name was finally designated as "Qi".
