(Thanks to hen Han, cube = reward for moving bricks, a sudden power outage in the morning, all manuscripts are gone, crying to death!

"Elder Changsunge, do you want to say something?"

All the courtiers were full of praise after tasting the sweet potatoes, and most of the courtiers had a lot of praise for Li Yin. Li Shimin left the Tai Chi Hall satisfied.

Looking at Lu Jin with an anxious face, Changsun Wuji said angrily: "What do you want me to say? Let the emperor force Li Yin to grow sweet potatoes for us?"

"Yes, Mr. Changsun Ge, don't you feel tempted at all? 40,000 mu of land can produce 1.2 million stones, and our Lu family's land is more than a million mu." Lu Jin persuaded.

The more Lu Jin said that Changsun Wuji was more annoyed. He understood the thoughts of these gentry, but he understood Li Shimin's thoughts better. The incident of persecuting Li Yin last time made Li Shimin feel a little alienated from him. Empress Changsun also advised him not to be with him again These aristocrats and noble families were mixed together, and the words said from the mouth of Empress Changsun were no different from those from Li Shimin.

"Doctor Lu, I advise you to stop messing around. If the emperor had some doubts about Li Yin before, he has completely trusted him now. Didn't you see the expression on the emperor's face? Even when he defeated Xieli I've never been so happy." Changsun Wuji said as he walked.

Lu Jin was still a little unwilling. They could only stare at so many good things, and felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching in their hearts. "Is there no other way?"

"Yes!" Changsun Wuji popped out a word.

Lu Jinxi said: "I also ask Elder Changsun Ge to make it clear."

"Don't provoke Li Yin again. He will give what he wants, but you can't give what he doesn't want. Do you understand?"

The court already knew about Li Yin's conscription. Before, he wanted to use border guards to restrain Li Yin. Unexpectedly, this became an excuse for Li Yin to openly recruit the army. Now Li Yin has soldiers and food, and that A famous bow and arrow and horizontal knife in Chang'an. He didn't believe that Li Yin just produced a few handfuls and sent them over as tributes. Perhaps Yizhou's army had already been equipped. Facing a vassal prince who had both soldiers and food, won the trust of the emperor, and was very obedient, Changsun Wuji suddenly felt Deeply powerless, who can force Li Yin now?

"This...Elder Changsun Ge!" Lu Jin stayed where he was. But Changsun Wuji shook his head and left.

On the other side, Cui Shao and Li Ke walked side by side. They were surrounded by many ministers, most of whom said compliments. Li Ke and Cui Shao greeted each other with smiles and politely returned from time to time.

"Lang is really a blockbuster if he doesn't sing. If he doesn't fly, he's already soaring into the sky!" The ministers around him all left, and Li Ke said with emotion: "As an older brother, sometimes I can't help being jealous of him."

Cui Shao nodded: "Who said it wasn't! Back then, I was annoyed by Yingying's marriage for a long time, and now I really feel that this is really a blessing for the Cui family."

"Hehe, at that time Lang was notorious all over Chang'an, it's natural for Cui Shi to think so, but this time the emperor's uncle sent Li Hui to Yizhou, which surprised me." Li Ke said.

"The King of Hejian has always been shrewd. This Li Hui and Li Yin were close friends back then. He was just looking for a way out for Li Hui. Speaking of which, my Cui clan also went to seven younger brothers. They went to Yizhou at the beginning. I don't want to, but now the letters are full of praises for Yizhou, which means that I will die in Yizhou.” Cui Shao couldn't help laughing after finishing speaking.

Li Ke said longingly: "I also heard that Yizhou not only has new products emerging one after another, but also the various policies are very different from other places in Datang. Those businessmen are fascinated when they mention Yizhou. I will go to Yizhou to see it someday." Look, see how capable this man is."

Saying this, both of them burst out laughing.

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian slammed his teacup on the ground, "Li Yin, Li Yin, everyone is talking about Li Yin, do they still see me as the wife? Do you know that I am the wife, I am the Tang Dynasty?" Prince Chu!"

Ashinalan waved his hand to make the maidservants leave, looked at Li Chengqian and sighed in a low voice, only she understood the pain in Li Chengqian's heart. In the past, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun placed too much hope on him, so that his discipline reached a level of harshness. Li Chengqian would be severely criticized by the minister for making a small mistake, but he is a prince and a person. Under the strict discipline of Li Chengqian, he began to rebel, expressing his dissatisfaction with these perverse behaviors.

But at this time, the foot disease made him lame again, and a feeling of inferiority emerged spontaneously. He began to be suspicious, worried that his position as the emperor would not be guaranteed, and at this time Li Ke and Li Tai also challenged the emperor. The impact made Li Chengqian have to fight back desperately, and beware of anyone who threatened his throne.

After a period of observation, Ashinalan found that Li Chengqian was not stupid, but very smart, so she used Li Chengqian's feelings for her to slowly change Li Chengqian, let him concentrate on his studies, and regulate his behavior. The change made Li Shimin very happy, and he treated Li Chengqian much better than before.

"Your Highness, don't be angry, you should be happy!" Ashinalan persuaded.

"Happy, how can I be happy, you didn't see the eyes of the emperor, as if only Li Yin is his son, and I am his elder!" Li Chengqian sat down slumped, with a trace of tears flickering in his eyes , "My father has always liked me the most since I was a child. Everything I do is to let him notice me. Is there something wrong with what I did?"

Ashinalan walked up to Li Chengqian and held his hand tightly. For some reason, seeing Li Chengqian like this made her heart ache, and she said: "Your Highness, it is precisely because of this that you can't lose your sense of proportion. Remember that you are the queen of the Tang Dynasty, the future emperor, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, the throne will be yours. Even if Li Yin wins the emperor's favor again, he can't be the queen. Forget what I told you Do you do what the emperor likes? Now that the emperor admires Li Yin very much, you should also appreciate Li Yin. Don't make the emperor unhappy, as long as that position is still yours.

Li Chengqian said dejectedly, "It's just that I'm not reconciled!"

"Nowadays, Li Yin is in a good position, and His Highness should also get along well with him. You are brothers. Although there was some unhappiness in the past, it can be resolved after all. According to the current situation, if His Highness ascends the throne in the future, I am afraid that he will have less to rely on Li Yin, at least not Offend him, because from a certain point of view, Li Yin has no intention of fighting for the reserve." Ashinalan said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded, obviously agreeing with Ashinalan's thoughts deep in his heart.

After Li Shimin came down to court, Rongda sent the sweet potatoes from Yizhou to the Taiji Palace. Li Shimin was in a good mood and ordered the imperial dining room to cook all the sweet potatoes and distribute them to the concubines and princesses of the palaces.

This new type of food has caused quite a stir.

Another batch of sweet potatoes was sent to Li Ke and Cui Shao. Li Min didn't forget about the bad friends in the past. After finishing these things, Rongda went to the newspaper office to find Wang Zheng, and asked him to officially publish the sweet potato matter in the business newspaper. Publish it.
