Chapter 225 The Emperor’s Test

After talking about serious matters, the knot between the grandfather and grandson was resolved, so Li Shimin left Li Xiang to eat. However, many people outside only delivered the food to the entrance of the hall, and the rest was Li Shimin's responsibility. The cronies brought it in. After all, Li Xiang was still wearing the clothes of a young eunuch. If too many people came in, it would be easy for others to know.

In fact, there are no secrets in the imperial court. Mr. Tang of Hubu has seen it just now. No matter how hard he hides it, the news will spread throughout the capital in just a few days.

"Although your son is recuperating at home recently, he is not idle at court. Grandpa, I have received a total of more than a dozen memorials, all of which want to marry the girls in the family to you. Starting from your father, all the way to all the royal families None of our children have ever been treated like this, but you are setting a precedent."

He was not idle while eating. If he had known it was like this, Li Xiang would not eat here. An emperor would test his own ministers and test his grandson at every turn. This day should be tiring enough.

"My grandson is still young and I don't want to think about this for the time being."

If you want to live in modern society, fourteen years old is indeed not very young. If you dare to think about this, your father will probably break your legs. But in this day and age, everywhere there are children who are sixteen or seventeen years old. All.

Li Shimin didn't know whether what Li Xiang said was the truth or a lie. This matter could be postponed for a few months, but it was only a few months.

If Mr. Tang of Hubu spreads the word and everyone knows that Li Xiang has not fallen out of favor, then at Li Xiang's current age, people from all walks of life will start to be tempted again.

"You haven't left the capital recently anyway. You can take a good look. There are many women of your age in the capital. If there is a grandpa you like, you can make the decision for you."

Li Shimin said it generously, but he was still wary of Li Xiang. If the power in his wife's family was too great, and the current power in Li Xiang's hands could easily lead to a situation where he was too powerful, so Li Shimin had already made up his mind. , We should choose a small household for Li Xiang.

Li Xiang felt uncomfortable after eating the meal, so he left quickly after finishing the meal. Li Shimin had a lot of things to do in the afternoon, so he didn't leave Li Xiang here. Before leaving, he told him, Yan Yin We must pay attention to the auction, it is related to whether we can hit the second blow against the aristocratic family well!

After walking out of the gate of Qinzheng Hall, he met a group of guards who were changing shifts. Although Li Xiang didn't know who these people were, he already had a feeling in his body that these people should be the Zuo Shenwu Army who had just replaced them.

Suddenly Li Xiang became nervous because he felt someone around him was staring at him. Li Xiang now had a fighting strength of fifteen people, so he could feel such eyes.

The team that changed shifts must have been specially arranged, just to see how the relationship between them and Li Xiang was. Unfortunately, the observers were disappointed. This team and Li Xiang passed side by side without any eye contact between the two parties. .

"Can you see clearly?"

After the man in black came back, he reported to Li Shimin. Li Shimin couldn't believe it, but he believed in the work ability of the man in black. He had never made any mistakes in these years. During the half month that the Zuo Shenwu Army was stationed in the capital, almost Under the strictest supervision.

Li Shimin originally thought that Li Xiang would have secret contacts with them, so the Zuo Shenwu Army seemed very relaxed on the surface, but in fact they were all under his supervision. However, in the past half month, Li Xiang did not contact these people. No one contacted Li Xiang, but he worked respectfully as an errand in the palace.

It is said that when things go wrong, there must be monsters. Li Shimin is also a person who has experienced great storms. Naturally, he cannot believe this. So when Li Xiang went out today, Li Shimin arranged such a thing. The people of the Zuo Shenwu Army were all in the emperor's army. After all, those who hold positions outside the city cannot trust them yet, so they are not transferred to the vicinity of Qinzheng Hall. But today, in order to test Li Xiang, let them come here.

"Are the spies around the Zuo Shenwu Army going to withdraw?"

The man in black said next to him that to monitor so many people and an elite army, he must use his most capable people. During this period, many other things have stopped. If he continues If they persist like this, they will delay more things. They have not contacted each other for more than half a month now. If Li Xiang wants to cultivate this army privately, it is basically impossible.

"Don't transfer them back for the time being. Let them continue to monitor the Zuo Shenwu Army. If there are no abnormalities after a month, it will not be too late to withdraw them."

Li Shimin is now getting more and more suspicious. Although he and Li Xiang have reconciled on the surface just now, the rift in his heart is irreparable. He knows this, and so does Li Xiang.

"Is he really just doing business after returning to Beijing?"

The man in black also brought a record of what Li Xiang often did. Some places can be detected, but some places are because Li Xiang's guards are too powerful, so even people as powerful as them cannot detect them.

"His Royal Highness has established several farms around the country and opened up wasteland across the country. He really wants to make a big splash in farming."

There is no need to investigate this matter at all. Almost half of the people in Chang'an City know that Li Xiang buys land to grow grain in the surrounding areas. Even some of the former wasteland, Li Xiang also asked his slaves to cultivate it.

Li Shimin is relatively reassured about this. Grain production has long been in the hands of Wu Xing Qi Wang, which is extremely detrimental to the court. If Li Xiang can make a contribution in this regard, it will be very beneficial to Wu Xing Qi Wang. It's also a huge blow.

Of course, Li Shimin did not expect that in such a farming country, food could not only attack the five surnames and seven hopes, but also the imperial court. Whoever can control a large amount of food is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the country.

"Haven't his masters found out yet?"

This is also a worry for Li Shimin. Ever since Li Xiang proposed Ping Gao Lize at the court, a bunch of masters have appeared around him. So far, it is not known where these people came from.

"This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty."

This matter has been arranged for several months, but they have not received any news. This can be said to be the worst task that the man in black has done.

"Let's explore again and go down."

Li Shimin waved his hand, and the man in black disappeared into the hall, leaving Li Shimin alone without knowing what he was thinking...
