Li Shimin looked at Princess Jinyang with her eyes closed, and the indescribable pain in her heart, when her mother, Empress Changsun, died, she couldn't let go of this daughter, so he, Li Shimin, as the emperor, also came to take care of the child in person every day, but now looking at her, Li Shimin suddenly had a strong sense of powerlessness.

He dominates the country, dominates the world, the army sweeps the world, the surrounding countries are called the Khan of the Heavens, and he has achieved the highest realm pursued by an emperor, but he can't make his daughter healthy.

At this time, a chaotic footstep broke Li Shimin's contemplation. Such heavy footsteps would frighten his daughter, Li Shimin raised his eyes to look at the comer, with fierceness in his eyes. A eunuch hurriedly ran in and knelt down in front of Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, something happened in the East Palace!" ”

"It's so late, what's going on in the East Palace?" Li Shimin's expression was surprised.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is drunk,...... For some reason, he had a dispute with Zhang Xuansu, the right concubine of the prince of Shaozhan, and Yu Zhining, the left concubine of the prince, and ordered the soldiers to take down Yu Zhining and Zhang Xuansu, and wanted to scold the two of them" The eunuch's voice became quieter and quieter.

Li Shimin's face became more and more ugly, and he said angrily: "Bastard thing! ”

Yu Zhining and Zhang Xuansu were selected by Li Shimin from among the courtiers, not only are they dignified, familiar with the scriptures and history, but also have a wonderful writing style, and they both have the qualifications of the grassroots hardships.

However, Li Chengqian thinks that these two are too upright and crooked, and they force themselves to study and restrain their words and deeds every day, and they have been like this since they were young, and it is really annoying to have two flies buzzing in their ears every day. In addition, Li Shimin has inexplicably wanted to praise Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Chengqian, the crown prince, to fight against each other in the past few years to balance the power of the East Palace. The psychological pressure, the provocation of King Wei, and the strength of his father finally made Li Chengqian unable to stand such a heavy pressure and began to give up on himself. Frolicking and having fun every day, paralyzing oneself, and committing all kinds of debauchery and tyranny. These actions made the prince's concubines Yu Zhining and Zhang Xuansu angry, scolding him for being immoral, and his words and deeds were absurd, and he did not have the atmosphere of a prince. Li Chengqian was furious and ordered the guards of the East Palace to take the two of them down with the cane.

Li Shimin listened to the eunuch's report, and his face showed a look of exhaustion and disappointment. Recently, what the prince said and did was excessive, Li Shimin finally felt that something was wrong, originally he wanted to use Li Tai to spur Li Chengqian forward, and let the current Confucians such as Kong Yingda, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Baiyao, etc. teach him knowledge and the way of life, who knew that he would not be able to withstand the test and do such a ridiculous thing.

Li Shimin's face was pale, and when he looked at Princess Jinyang, a thought suddenly arose in his heart, will the Jiangshan Sheji that I have worked so hard to build be handed over to such a disgraceful prince?

Li Tai, the king of Wei, really made a move. Li Shimin is wise and martial, and he doesn't know why he is so confused about the establishment of the crown prince. In order to help the prince establish his authority since ancient times, he should not be too fond of other princes, otherwise it will blow the prestige of the prince.

But Li Shimin was very good to Li Tai, often praised him in front of the courtiers, and often rewarded things, allowing Li Tai, the king of Wei, not to go to the fiefdom to serve, but to stay in Chang'an to study and study, and the Wei king's honor guard was added again and again, almost as famous as the prince's honor guard. In this way, how could Li Tai not have a little ambition and ideas?

Such an ugly thing happened in the East Palace, and Li Tai saw that there was such an opportunity, if he didn't take the opportunity to add to the blockage of the prince, he was really sorry for his ambitions.

Sure enough, the rumors in Chang'an City began to spread on a large scale. Moreover, the bad deeds of the crown prince Li Chengqian have been turned over one by one, and there is a reason to beat the subordinate officials of the East Palace with a rod, this time is a good time to overthrow the prince, and some courtiers in the camps of the two sides finally began to quarrel, and the contradiction between the East Palace and the King of Wei broke out in an all-round way.

The entire Datang was paying attention to this matter, but Gaochang, thousands of miles away, couldn't feel such a storm at all. Everyone is concerned about the yield of this year's white stacks, which is now called cotton, and how it is harvested.

Time flies quickly, it's already autumn, Li Dongsheng has nothing to do here, there are no guys nearby who dare to fight with the Tang Dynasty, the feat of 1,000 people to destroy 20,000 Turkic cavalry has made them all frightened, so many people in the Western Turks died and retreated back to the sweat tent for 800 miles without even daring to let go of a fart, and they didn't even dare to say a cruel word of revenge.

Looking at the endless cotton fields in front of him, the cotton fields blooming with thousands of cotton like big quilts, Li Dongsheng laughed: "Okay, this cotton is a string of copper coins." ”

Xi Junmai and Yu Chi Baolin also smiled: "Really? Then we will wait for Hou Ye to send the money. ”

"No problem, you just wait to eat and drink spicy!"

Mu Zhonghai still had some drums in his heart, but he transferred the agency of perfume and other goods to specialize in this cotton cloth, and if he couldn't do it, it would be a big loss. With a wave of Li Ting's hand, countless Gaochang people went to the cotton fields to pick cotton.

He went through a lot of hardships and finally built the factory, most of the time, from scratch, it took him all his energy, mainly Li Dongsheng is unreliable, he only made a machine to peel cotton seeds, play cotton tools, how to spin cotton into thread, and then turn the thread into cotton cloth He doesn't know.

Or Li Ting found workers in the Western Regions to come to public relations, and finally made a complete set of assembly lines, although they are relatively primitive things, but Li Dongsheng feels that this is a ladder of human progress.

Seeing the pieces of cloth coming out of the factory in such a steady stream, Mu Zhonghai and Li Ting were already excited, cotton cloth is much more expensive than silk or linen this year, and now I am very happy to see this cloth produced so easily, these are all money. Then the guys who planted cotton in the entire Western Regions were sent, and Li Dongsheng began to buy cotton at a market price of fifty percent, and the news spread out, and everyone was desperately rushing to Gaochang, who didn't like it if people were stupid and had more money.

"Master Hou, Governor Qiao is about to take office, should we go and see him?" Li Shimin officially issued an edict to change the location of Gaochang to Xizhou, and set up five counties under Xizhou. At the same time, Qiao Shiwang was appointed as the first assassin of Xizhou, and Wei Chi Baolin asked if he was going to meet him.

Qiao Shiwang is the husband of Princess Luling, the daughter of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, who was the assassin of Tongzhou at the time, and Li Shimin asked his brother-in-law to do this newly established history of Xizhou Thorn, which shows the importance of Xizhou.

"I'll talk about it when he comes." Li Dongsheng is worried about one thing now, that is, he has made it, but there is no ship to go to sea.
