Since Li Chengqian and his family came to Dengzhou, Li Yan naturally wanted to keep them for a few more days. After all, Li Chengqian was depressed some time ago and other symptoms of seasickness, which caused him to be in poor health. In addition, Li Xiang and other children also liked it very much.

Here, Li Yan asked them to live in Dengzhou for a while and let Li Chengqian take a rest.

However, they have not stayed in the palace these days. Li Yan and Wen Xin took Li Chengqian and his family to visit Dengzhou. However, as Li Chengqian, he was not very interested in natural beauty and other things.

He was very concerned about the market and the development of various industries in Dengzhou. He even visited the steam engine manufacturing factory with great interest and witnessed with his own eyes how this machine that can run by eating charcoal is made.

In the past, Li Chengqian only heard that Dengzhou is prosperous, but he has been raised in Chang'an since he was a child and did not care much about the prosperity of Dengzhou. After all, in his opinion, no matter how prosperous it is, it cannot be compared with a big city like Chang'an and Luoyang.

. However, when he witnessed all walks of life in Dengzhou and the endless stream of people on the streets, he suddenly realized that the prosperity of Dengzhou was no worse than that of Chang'an and Luoyang, and in some aspects, compared with Chang'an and

Luoyang is much stronger.

Dengzhou's prosperity developed in just a few years after Li Yan arrived. Although Dengzhou was a famous port in the past, on the coastline of the Tang Dynasty at that time, there were ports like Dengzhou.

Many, but now the only one who can compare with Dengzhou is probably Guangzhou in the south. Thinking of this, Li Chengqian was really convinced by Li Yan's younger brother. No wonder his father favored his sixth brother so much, just his ability.

, it is not comparable to other brothers.

Li Chengqian's family was traveling in Dengzhou, so the officials responsible for escorting them naturally did not dare to urge them. They were not afraid of Li Chengqi, but they did not dare to offend Li Yan. After all, everyone knew that this King of Qi was not only deeply favored by His Majesty, but also in court.

All Chinese civil and military officials also have a deep relationship. If they offend him, there will definitely be no good results. Moreover, it is normal for other brothers to live together for a few more days. Who has not seen any sign of this situation?

It was precisely with this tacit consent that Li Chengqian and his family lived in Dengzhou for nearly half a month. It was not until the weather got colder that they left Dengzhou by boat. However, the boats they took this time were all the King of Qi Mansion.

Among them, Li Chengqian and his family even boarded the Li Yan's King of Qi. In addition, a batch of cargo was transported in the fleet. These cargoes were all parts of the assembled train. They would be sent to Shanghai for assembly.

Building an original train transportation network in Shanghai is still not able to cover the entire city, but covering several major roads is still possible.

Li Yan was also foolish about the transportation of this batch of goods. He deliberately exaggerated the importance of these train parts and solemnly hoped that Li Chengqian could help take care of him. Although Li Chengqian was relieved of the blow of being abandoned, he was relieved of the defeat.

But he urgently needed other people's affirmation. Therefore, he naturally agreed without hesitation to Li Yan's "request".

When Li Chengqian and his family left Dengzhou, Li Yan, Wen Xin, Chou Chou and others came to see him off at the pier. However, Chou Chou and his cousins ​​had a lot of fun these days. Now they have to part, although at their age.

.Maybe they don’t know what the difference means, but children always have the most keenest feelings. They may have felt something. As a result, Chou Chou and Li Xiang and other children cried loudly, which made Li Yan and others

Just being busy coaxing the child has diluted the sad atmosphere of parting.

When Li Chengqian at the stern of the boat looked at Li Yan who was waving his hands on the dock, tears came out again, but this was not a sad tears, but a tears of gratitude to Li Yan. Although he had only been in Dengzhou for half a day.

Monthly time, and Li Yan didn't seem to have done anything for him, but Li Chengqian knew that during the past few days in Dengzhou, Li Yan gave him the most important thing, that is, the courage to live and support.

This courageous family affection is exactly what he needs most now.

"Sixth brother, brother will definitely live well. I want to see where you can go?" When I could no longer see the figure on the dock, Li Chengqian wiped his tears, then took a long breath and whispered.

When Li Chengqian's fleet headed south from Dengzhou to Shanghai, the city of Chang'an had already caused trouble for the establishment of a crown prince. The last time Li Tai said to Li Shimin, "Killing his son and passing on his brother" has begun to spread in some small circles.

Kailai, but this stupid word from Li Tai made countless people who opposed Li Tai ascendant to the throne burst into laughter. After deep thought, they were sure that Li Tai had ruined his prince for vain because of his stupidity.

The position.

This discovery made most of the court very excited, and the few people who supported Li Tai shook their heads and sighed. The clever ones had already begun to draw a clear line with the King of Wei. Even if they could not draw it clearly, they began to confront the crown prince.

Keep things silent and no longer actively fight for Li Tai, so that at least after the new crown prince takes office, it will not make things difficult for them.

Li Tai didn't know where he was wrong at first. It was not until he was guided by some loyal people that he realized that he was a big mistake. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret at this time, although he tried his best to make up for it, and even

He also went to the palace to meet Empress Changsun, hoping to win back some of his father's views on him. Unfortunately, the big mistake was made, and no one could change the fact that he missed the position of the crown prince.

In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin was sitting in the hall, with Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and more than a dozen important civil and military officials on both sides. One of the white-haired old ministers stood in front of the imperial desk and was talking endlessly towards Li Shimin.

He advised: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a crown prince for a day. Now that the crown prince is deposed, one should be selected from the prince who is both virtuous and capable, and inherit the position of the crown prince to safeguard the hearts of the people of the world!

”

This old minister who advised was Wen Xin's grandfather Xiao Yu, who was now urging Li Shimin to establish a new crown prince. However, when Changsun Wuji heard the four words "both virtuous and talented" in Xiao Yu's mouth, his face flashed on his face.

After a little displeasure. Xiao Yu knew very well that he was just trying to get Li Shimin to issue an order to recall Li Yan as the crown prince. After all, among the remaining princes, only Li can be called both virtuous and talented.

After all, even Li Ke is worse than his younger brother.

However, after hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "The Song Dynasty's Duke is reasonable. I have been considering the establishment of a crown prince these days, but the princes are all very good, so I can't make up my mind for a while.

, but today I finally made up my mind to give the prince's choice!"

As soon as Li Shimin said, the dozen people below were shocked, and their eyes were all concentrated on him with a "swish" sound, but only Changsun Wuji smiled, as if he had known the result a long time ago.

"Well~ Your Majesty, I wonder which prince the new crown prince is?" Fang Xuanling finally stood up and asked. Although he was very satisfied with Li Yan, Li Yan was unwilling to return to Chang'an, so Fang Xuanling was helpless.

He chose neutrality and never expressed his opinions on the matters related to the Crown. It was not until now that the major event was settled, so he came out to ask, and the ears of other ministers were all raised.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Although the King of Jin was young, he was always smart and generous. When he was with the princes, he never argued with others. In addition, he was the queen's legitimate birth, so I decided to make King of Jin the king of Jin the king.

Prince!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words were settled, Changsun Wuji, who was standing behind Fang Xuanling, breathed a long sigh and a smile appeared on his face. Although he had known this result for a long time, it was not until Li Shimin announced it in front of the civil and military ministers that this was done.

Only then can he be truly settled, and it is impossible to change it any longer. Only at this time can he be truly relieved.

When Xiao Yu heard that the prince was actually the King of Jin, his face was also dark and he silently retreated to the civil officials. Among the dozen people present, at least half of them sighed in their hearts.

They are all optimistic about Li Yan, but unfortunately Li Yan himself is unwilling to come back, so they have no choice.

Li Shimin had long observed the expressions of the ministers below. Now he saw that half of the people showed unpleasant expressions. He also sighed in his heart. If possible, he would of course want Li Yan to come back, but Li Yan Zhi was not here.

, coupled with Li Yan's momentum in development outside, he, as a father, can't drag his son back to become the prince, right?

Xiao Yu and others need to comfort him, but what Li Shimin thought could not be said explicitly, but he had prepared in advance. After Li Shimin pressed his hands with his hands, he calmed down the ministers, he spoke: "Actually, I am

So, in addition to the reasons mentioned just now, I also specifically sought Liulang's opinions. As a result, he also supported the opposition to King Jin as the crown prince. I just received his reply, so I wrote this one.

Things have been settled!"

Li Shimin said, picking up the letter that had been opened from the desk. The handwriting on the envelope was ugly, which was Li Yan's handwritten letter. Seeing the letter, Xiao Yu and others showed a wry smile on their faces. It turned out that Li Jin was

Li Yan, who is far away in Dengzhou, also participated in the matter of the prince. Now they really have nothing to say.

When Changsun Wuji saw the expressions of Xiao Yu and others change, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious. Li Yan also supported the matter of making King Jin the crown prince. Now Xiao Yu and the others have nothing to say, right?

However, Changsun Wuji suddenly thought that when he was interviewing Li Yan, the other party sounded the alarm to himself in advance, and the words "I allow you to be Zhuge Kongming, but don't want to be Sima Yi" are still in my ears.

He felt particularly uncomfortable.

However, Li Shimin looked at Li Yan's letter again. The content in this letter was not only to support the establishment of Li Zhi as the crown prince, but also to make several suggestions to him, to Li Zhi, the future successor of the Tang Dynasty.
