Tai Chi Palace
In the back garden
Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang were strolling around.
It had just snowed at this time.
The snow scene outside is very beautiful.
The three of them were wearing thick clothes and sitting in a pavilion.
Drink warm thin wine to ward off the cold.
Li Shimin put down his cup and said, "Queen, my beloved concubine, have you heard anything about Wuji recently!?"
What happened to Changsun Wuji?
The two said they did not know what Li Shimin was talking about.
And it’s still about Changsun Wuji.
Li Shimin then said: "Wuji cooperated with the Wang family to print it! But it didn't go well for him!"
Empress Changsun once said that the matter of Changsun Wuji and the Wang family using seals was a matter of contention among a hundred schools of thought.
In fact, Li Min's family became the only one.
All the tricks to stop Li Min will be defeated.
Li Min was like a big mountain, standing in front of them and simply insurmountable.
"Then what? What happened to my brother in the end? Has his copy been printed? How much was sold!?"
Queen Changsun asked this, which proved that she did not understand at this time. No one told her either.
"It was printed, but it failed! Those masters who wrote it returned to the Shengtang Group."
Li Shimin stated.
From his tone, you can feel a trace of reluctance.
He also hopes that Changsun Wuji will live a better life. It's a pity that he chose to go against Li Min. Isn't that asking for trouble? If he doesn't do other things well and insists on doing these thankless things, how can he be said to be better?
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, it is because Changsun Wuji purchased a large amount of books from the Shengtang Group in an attempt to get the Shengtang Group to increase its production capacity until it reaches the limit, so that they can resell the books and make a profit from it. !
Unexpectedly, Shengtang Group's output is getting bigger and bigger, without being affected at all! There is no limit to Zhen'er, on the contrary, there are as many as you can get! The books they bought were placed in the warehouse themselves! It can't be sold at all! Although it was finally sold to other places, it could not be sold nearby because the group was also involved. Only in remote areas, the cost would directly increase, and it would have to be sold at a loss.
I thought that they were engaging in vicious competition. If they hadn't done this, they might not have failed. Plus they actually print the same, trying to compete.
Therefore, in the end, Miner directly cut off their supply of paper, causing them difficulty in childbirth, and gave up printing! "
Concubine Yang expressed.
It seems that she knows all this.
After all, she also has an informant in the Shengtang Group.
Someone come and talk to her about these things!
Her words were directed at Li Min.
It shows that all this is their own fault. If they didn't provoke Li Min, they wouldn't be like this.
"What? My brother is still hostile to Min'er? He really doesn't have a long memory!"
Queen Changsun was shocked, and at the same time, judging from her performance, she clearly didn't believe it. Why are you still like this? Why don’t you live a good life?
"More than that, he even wanted to kill Zhen'er! His behavior was very bad!"
Concubine Yang said bitterly.
Queen Changsun was silent.
After all, he was also her brother, so it was hard for her to say too much.
Li Shimin stepped forward and said: "Maybe Wuji didn't do it on purpose!"
Not on purpose? It’s so obvious, it’s not intentional! What happened to Li Shimin’s eyes? Can't you see the truth?
"Your Majesty, please stop defending Changsun Wuji! If he is allowed to be with the Wang family again, I am afraid it will have a huge impact on Min'er!"
Concubine Yang retorted directly.
"I can't control him now! My beloved, don't worry, Li Min is my son, and I won't allow people to hurt him!"
This may be a rare statement made by Li Shimin in recent times, perhaps the first time he has expressed such a statement.
These words made Concubine Yang feel a glimmer of hope.
"Can we let him come back?"
"No! I have said that unless he apologizes to me, if he apologizes, I can even give him the crown prince position. It's a pity that he is so proud, but he has never refused! Now the crown prince position is vacant. Regarding the situation, It’s very unfavorable, everyone is eyeing the crown prince’s position!”
This was also the rare time that Li Shimin felt worried about the prince.
The changes in the Xuanwu Sect at that time were also due to the prince.
He didn't want that to happen again.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish a prince who is capable of shocking people.
Looking at all his sons, I am afraid that only Li Min is suitable.
But Li Min was enjoying himself outside and was not under control at all.
Not to mention coming back to apologize to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, maybe I can go and persuade you?"
Concubine Yang expressed.
"Your Majesty, this may be possible!"
Empress Changsun, who had been silent just now, also said.
Then he added: "If Li Min is made the crown prince, maybe my brother will no longer be unfavorable to him!"
Li Shimin sighed.
"Well, go and have a look, maybe he will listen to you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Yang said very happily.
As for Queen Changsun, she also said: "I want to go too!"
"Okay, okay, you all go!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
Then Concubine Yang said again: "Your Majesty, I have one more uninvited invitation!"
Li Shimin looked at Concubine Yang warily.
What was she going to say again?
"Winter is coming, and Min'er is afraid that he won't be able to eat fresh vegetables, so I want to take some vegetables from the Wen Tang Prison and give them to him! Your Majesty, please agree!"
What is Wen Tang Jian? That is, the "hot spring soup supervisor". Officially signed as a subordinate institution of Sinong Temple in the Tang Dynasty, it was placed at the West Hot Spring in Zhaoying County, Jingzhao Prefecture. To put it bluntly, they are officials who grow vegetables at the hot springs.
In winter, vegetables are very rare.
In the whole of Chang'an, I am afraid that only Li Shimin's Wentang Supervisor is good at it.
But the output was not high, and it was not enough to supply the royal family. Only the highly valued ministers would reward some.
Other ministers can only reward some vegetables when they are sick.
Even Li Yuan can only eat a small amount of vegetables a day.
When Concubine Yang mentioned this vegetable, Li Shimin thought for a while.
Then he said: "I couldn't agree to it originally, but seeing that Li Min has solved a lot of troubles for me recently, I allow you to take two kilograms of vegetables with you!"
Two kilograms of vegetables is already very important.
In normal times, Li Shimin couldn't eat many vegetables.
From the side, Li Shimin really started to value Li Min.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Carrying the vegetables there, you can feel the intense gazes of people just on the road.
"Don't thank me, it's the traitor who has done what I want, otherwise I won't be able to agree!"
Li Shimin said.
Even the prince in the palace can only eat a few vegetables a day, but he gave Li Min two kilograms as soon as he opened his mouth, which can be said to be very "magnificent".
For some officials, they must be grateful to be able to get this vegetable.
But it happened that he met Li Min.
Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun may be embarrassed if they go here.
In the afternoon of that day, the two of them took a few guards and headed to the Shengtang Group.
