Pei Min returned to the mansion with a heavy heart, and the previous conversation between Li Longji and himself came to mind, and he always felt that Li Longji was explaining the aftermath.

Could it really be that because of his appearance, Li Longji became short-lived?

What bothered him the most was that Li Longji really intended to make Li Heng the crown prince.

Perhaps in Li Longji's eyes, Li Heng's intellectual city mansion is the most outstanding among his sons. But Pei Min knows that Li Heng is a pit, a sinkhole with a group of god teammates such as Yan Zhenqing, Li Mi, Guo Ziyi, and Li Guangbi, all of whom are useless.

"I don't know if Your Majesty can listen to it!"

Pei Min thought about how he should choose if things backfired and he really let Li Heng take the position.

These families are happy and a few are sad, Pei Min has a headache here.

Li Heng was naturally extremely happy.

Although he had previously learned from Li Jingzhong that Li Longji intended to change him to the crown prince, this hearing was completely different from Li Longji's own words.

After tonight's events, Li Heng already felt that the position of the crown prince was only one step away from him, and he walked flutteringly, and he had the feeling of dancing against the night wind.

When he returned to his palace, the first thing Li Heng did was to call his henchmen Emperor Fu Weiming and Li Jingzhong to the front, tell them this fact, and let them share this joy with him.

But he was cautious, and quickly dispelled this crazy thought.

Now is the most critical time, and there is absolutely no room for error.

Although it is night, you can call Huangfu Weiming and Li Jingzhong to you, and the goal is too big.

It's better to write than to call!

Li Heng really couldn't bear his mood, and wrote down tonight's events on paper, thinking of the conversation with Li Longji tonight, he also felt that he had answered perfectly.

Li Heng knew very well that his father was so happy, so he fully catered to his appetite when answering questions.

Xiao Gui Cao followed!

On the one hand, he slapped Li Longji's ass, and on the other hand, he also expressed his admiration for Pei Min.

Li Heng thought that he knew Li Longji very well, and saw through Li Longji's intention to make Pei Min an auxiliary minister, and praised Pei Min very unwillingly, and did not show his intention to weaken the power of the border marshal as soon as he took the position.

After the two letters were sent, Li Heng was so excited that he didn't want to sleep at all.

Instead, he walked back and forth in the study excitedly, fantasizing about what would happen after he ascended the throne, thinking that after he ascended the throne, he successfully weakened the power of the border marshal and held the military and political power of the entire country in his hands.

Then, with his outstanding talent, he cultivated his internal culture and expanded his martial arts, and became an emperor who could be more outstanding than Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Li Longji, Li Heng never felt that his father was qualified to be compared with Ming lords such as Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Taizong of Tang.

The more Li Heng thought about it, the more he felt that Pei Min was an eyesore.

He is the lord of the world, the king of a country, and he should be high and unmatched, how can he let a courtier steal his limelight?

Using him to make an example of chickens and monkeys, on the one hand, deters the border commanders, and can also promote his own reputation.

Thinking of the happy place, Li Heng himself couldn't help but laugh.

On the other hand!

Li Longji sent Li Yan away, and lay on the bed tiredly, thinking about Li Heng and Li Yan's performance......

Li Heng's performance, Li Longji was not satisfied at all.

Li Yan's performance, Li Longji was even more dissatisfied.

"I want to be Li Longji smart and lay a foundation that is better than Taizong and Gaozong, but there is no successor, why should God ...... me like this"

Li Longji is too confident, so confident that he is conceited and unconscious.

The main reason why there were no successors was not that his sons were really stupid, but that he didn't care about them at all, and even kept them like pigs to prevent them from making trouble.

How much can you expect a group of people trapped in the Ten Kings' Mansion to achieve?

It's just that Li Longji will never admit this to himself.

After thinking for about a quarter of an hour, Gao Lishi walked in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard all night, rest early." ”

Li Longji shook his head and said, "I can't sleep a little, alas, one by one, none of them make me worry." I originally meant that Saburo was ambitious and ambitious, and he could be entrusted with great responsibilities. When I ask today, the original form is revealed! Playing tricks in front of me, does he really think he can hide it from me? I'm sick, but reason is still there, and I can't just fool around......"

He said angrily, really disappointed in his heart.

Li Heng just thought he knew Li Longji.

As a figure who launched two coups and overthrew Wei, Zong Chuke, and Princess Taiping, it is not easy.

His biggest weakness is his nature, not his intelligence, and when it comes to intelligence and strategy, Li Heng is not a grade different from Li Longji.

Li Longji decided to skip Li Heng and make Li Yan the crown prince because Li Heng was ambitious and intelligent, and he could bend and stretch, and knew how to forbear.

He didn't want to make someone who might threaten his position as crown prince.

This is not to say that Li Longji is afraid of Li Heng, but he disdains this kind of boring infighting.

Compared with boring infighting, he prefers to instruct the border marshal to fight, with his own martial arts, he likes to have fun with Liyuan more, and he likes to find a really caring beauty and live a life without shame.

Now things have changed, and it's the other way around.

The reason why Li Longji wants to change Li Heng is also because Li Heng is ambitious and intelligent, and he can bend and stretch, and knows how to forbear......

But today Li Heng showed too much enthusiasm for Pei Min......

Li Heng really loves Pei Min, why didn't he befriend him before?

Would you rather woo Wang Zhonghei than deal with Pei Min? It doesn't matter if you don't communicate, you have said bad things about Pei Min behind your back more than once?

Now he is pretending to express his respect for Pei Min, and Li Longji doesn't believe a word.

"General Gao......" Li Longji said: "How much respect San Lang shows for Jingyuan, how much jealousy he has in his heart...... He didn't even dare to say a bad word about Jingyuan in front of me, it can be seen that he really obtained a great treasure in the future, which will definitely regard Jingyuan as a thorn in his side. I really don't know how thick the sky is...... Jingyuan is a talent like him, either kill him while he is still in his fledgling, or treat him with sincerity...... Now that he is full-fledged, he relies on San Lang? This San Lang is not a certain San Lang. ”

"But ......"

Li Longji thought of Li Yan again, and he also had a big head, "But Shiro is generous, soft-tempered, and has no ambitions and ambitions, so he is really not a prince's material." If you can't even be a prince, how can you become the king of a country? Accept half of the country that I have worked so hard to build? You say, how do I choose? ”

No matter how decisive Li Longji is, in the face of this kind of matter related to the future of the Tang Dynasty, there are still two bad choices, and he is powerless......

**********

Hangzhou, south of the Yangtze River, is a small famous place.

As a famous scenic spot in later generations, the current Hangzhou is just a small city built on the mountain in 16 miles and 90 steps on Wednesday.

However, because Yang Su dug the Jiangnan Canal, Hangzhou became the starting and ending point of the Grand Canal. Leaping into the throat of Wu Yue, the mighty rivers and seas, it has established its status as a transportation hub in the lower reaches of the entire Qiantang River.

However, at this moment, the economic centers of the Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and Longyou, Hexi, the development trend is also to open up the Western Regions, and the value and significance of Jiangnan are far from being explored.

In the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, more than 40,000 households were stipulated to be Shangzhou, 25,000 households were Zhongzhou, and less than 20,000 households were Xiazhou.

There are only more than 14,000 households in Hangzhou, which is only a lower state of the Tang Dynasty.

Outside Hangzhou, an inconspicuous hut is still brightly lit in the middle of the night.

With a bit of hurried footsteps, there was a constant sound of footsteps coming from the room.

A young man, still young, walked back and forth in the house.

On the other side of the room, a larger girl was pulling silk threads, listening to the noise in her ears, she couldn't help but say, "Okay, little brother, don't go blind, make my sister upset." The spinning wheel was borrowed from the village chief's house, and if he couldn't weave the cloth tonight, he wouldn't be able to get back the money he had rented. ”

The young man said impatiently: "I'm not worried about my father...... No, no, I can't wait, I'm going to find Daddy! "He wanted to get the oil lamp......

As he spoke, he wanted to rush out of the house.

"Chen Minzhang, you stop!" The girl screamed in panic, hurriedly blocked the oil lamp, and shouted with red eyes: "Look for it, where are you looking, do you know where Daddy is?" You haven't been out of this village, who are you looking for? ”

The young man named Chen Minzhang was so anxious that he grabbed his head: "Isn't there no way, Huang Chu's notoriety, the three-year-old children in the village know that their father went to trade with them, in case there is a conflict, how can it be good?" ”

The girl didn't speak, and tears rolled down.

The girl's name is Min Min and she has no real name.

In this era, patriarchs are preferred, and most peasant women have only one title, not a name.

As the land of fish and rice, Hangzhou has unique agricultural production conditions, and the main economy is rice grain.

However, before Wang Jiao forcibly suppressed the price of grain, Hangzhou, the land of fish and rice, became a land of poverty.

After half a year of hard work, the rice and grain tax was paid, and the remaining surplus grain was not enough in the face of low grain prices.

Forced by this life, Minmin's father, in order to save some money for his son to marry a daughter-in-law, on the one hand, planned to sell his daughter for some dowry, and on the other hand, he took risks and made a deal with the salt merchants on the black market. They do not sell rice and grain directly, but use rice and grain to exchange for illicit salt with smugglers for profit.

Chen's father is an honest farmer, and he has never done anything illegal in his life, but he can't take care of the pressure of life.

Knowing that smuggling and selling illicit salt is a great sin, he also plunged into it.

Chen's father has been gone for three days, and he said that he would come back today, and it will be midnight, but there is no news.

But the Cheng family sisters and brothers are in a hurry.

At this moment, the barking of a big yellow dog came from the village.

"What are you yelling, shouting again, Lao Tzu knocked you with a stick, boil the soup!"

A familiar voice sounded, and the Cheng family sisters and brothers pushed the door out of ecstatically.

A thin peasant, carrying a flat burden, walked briskly to this side.

The Chen family's sister and brother's mother died early, and their father was their heaven, and they greeted them together.

Chen's father put down his burden, pulled his sister and brother into the house, and said to them happily: "It's too late to come back, so I'm worried about you." I'll tell you a good news, Daddy, I contacted Huang Dongjia, don't look at his reputation is not very good. In fact, it is quite easy to speak, and I have agreed with my father's suggestion to exchange grain for salt. Tomorrow Daddy will send the rice over and come back in exchange for some salt. ”

He gave up asking for this and that, and even knelt down at the expense of his knees, and what he said was very simple.

Chen Minzhang said: "Daddy, don't ...... it"

"Gua baby! What not to use! If you dare to say that you don't go to the school to study, Lao Tzu will beat you to death! Chen's father was furious and said, "Don't worry about this, my father will do it if I break the law." You study hard and have a good future life, but you can't be a bad guy like your father. ”

He is an honest man, in his eyes, breaking the law is a bad person, he is already a bad person, and he doesn't want his son to follow in his footsteps.

Min Min said: "Daddy, you misunderstood what the little brother meant, just today the village chief came to say that the new Xiangye of the imperial court has changed the price of grain, and now Yiqing Qigu has risen to six wen, which is two more wen." ”

Father Chen was stunned, suddenly jumped up, spoke incoherently excitedly, and said: "Too, great, Liuwen, sell all our family's rice, Da Lang has the money to study, we also have the money to eat, and we can save some, so you don't have to marry the girl in a hurry, you can find a good one." ”

A simple price, but it saved the fate of the family.

Chen Minzhang said worriedly: "But my father has already told Huang Dongjia, this is repentant, what should he do if he wants to pursue it?" ”

Father Chen smiled sheepishly: "Don't worry, Daddy kept an eye on it, didn't tell them the truth, they didn't know where Daddy lived, he saw Daddy honest, and thought I wouldn't dare to lie to him!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled his children with a straight face and said, "No matter which Xiangye is, he must live in Chang'an, far away, and we will kowtow in the direction of Chang'an together." We can't do anything big, we can't help him, just pray for him from the bottom of our hearts! ”

Of course, there are those who are sincerely grateful to Pei Min, and there are also those who scold Pei Min with blood.

It's thousands of miles away in Weizhou.

The two neighbors got together.

One is called Chang An and the other is Wang Wei.

Chang'an's family is wealthy, and Wang Wei often comes to beg for wine.

Thinking about neighbors, Chang'an doesn't care, and always warmly welcomes them.

As soon as the wine was drunk today, Wang Wei shouted: "I am always not kind, what kind of wine is this, and how much water is it mixed with?" ”

Chang An scolded: "Let's just drink it, I don't know which bastard thing who has been cut a thousand times, and the price of grain has been changed." Now Yiqing Qigu costs a full six yuan, and a month's wine money is not enough. I'm so angry, it's not that I'm always stingy, and our brothers will only be able to drink this kind of wine in the future. It's too good wine to drink. ”

He was scolding and scolding, and the people in the market didn't care about the king of heaven, anyway, it was a dog who scolded Pei Min with blood.

But he scolded and scolded, but he would not do anything illegal and taboo, that is, his own interests were damaged, and he was addicted.

The increase in the price of rice and grain has affected his interests, but it will not bring much change to his life.

With the change in grain prices, more than 20 million people in the middle and lower classes of the Tang Dynasty were affected.

Whether there is a lot of scolding or a lot of gratitude, who can tell the difference?

At least Pei Min, who set this price, has a clear conscience.
