Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

However, Li You had already appeared beside Li Shimin's bed before the herald of Baiqi Division left Chang'an.

As early as when Li Chengqian was just preparing to go out, Li You rushed back to Chang'an in a hurry.

An ominous feeling made him feel that something big was going to happen to Chang'an.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to Chang'an, he heard the news that Li Shimin was seriously ill, and then someone came to Shence Mansion, saying that he wanted to pass a letter to Li You.

Li You naturally also guessed the reason, and immediately went to the palace to face the saint.

Before entering Li Shimin's bedroom, Li You muttered in his heart.

[I think Li Er's illness is fake, and his intention is nothing more than to deceive me to go back to Chang'an. Anyway, I'm back this time. Let's see what he has to say later. 】

What is the condition of Li Shimin's body, Li You knows better than Li Shimin himself.

With the blessing of modern medicine, even Li Yuan and Empress Changsun are living well now, not to mention the most important Li Shimin.

According to Li You's estimate, according to Li Shimin's current body, let alone live to Zhenguan 23, even if he lived another 20 years, he would have no problem at all to Zhenguan 43.

In the beginning, Li You decided that changing history might lead to unmanageable situations, but now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, Li You has gradually let go of the burden in his heart.

Although he had confidence in Li Shimin's body, the first time he saw Li Shimin, he felt sore in his heart.

He and Li Shimin haven't seen each other for only a year, but Li Shimin seems to be ten years older!

"Father, are you okay, my son is back."

Seeing Li You coming in front of him so quickly, Li Shimin immediately understood, he smiled relievedly and said, "Your father is very pleased to have such a heart."

"Although the crown prince is a little impulsive this time, I hope Yu'er can understand his difficulties!"

"Being a prince, there are too many involuntary things!"

In the beginning, instead of blaming Li You for Li Chuang's pressing step by step, Li Shimin apologized for Li Chengqian's actions as soon as he opened his mouth.

Li You was also moved by this true feeling, and he quickly said, "Father, you don't have to worry, this time the minister is back."

"Leave everything to the son-in-law."

"If Zao'er is disobedient, I'll spank him!"

What Li You said actually made Li Shimin laugh, he said with a smile: "Nonsense, how old are you, and you will take off your pants every now and then!"

[Li Er is old and unscrupulous, I said spanking, but I didn't say stripped and spanked! 】

But this time Li Shimin didn't care about Li You's complaints. On the contrary, hearing these voices made him feel familiar and kind.

He tried to sit up and said: "You'er, you have seen the body of the emperor. During these years when your prince brother was here, I have actually entrusted him with many things. Now that he is gone, everything is under the pressure of the emperor." on..."

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Li You said, "Father, please take a good rest. Now that my son is back, I will naturally share my worries with my father."

Originally, Li You thought that he was just helping Li Shimin take charge of the part of Li Chengqian before, just a prime minister, and Liu Ji under him was more than enough.

Unexpectedly, when he saw Li Shimin's edict, he almost didn't jump up and curse.

【Li Er, you asked me to be a coolie. 】

It turned out that Li Shimin said in the imperial edict that due to physical reasons, he needed to go to Cuiwei Palace Hanfeng Palace on Zhongnan Mountain to recuperate, and when he was not in Chang'an, he appointed Li You as the supervisor to be in charge of all major affairs in the court.

Civil and military officials have no special important matters, so they are not allowed to go to Zhongnan Mountain to disturb Li Shimin's recuperation.

Of course, this edict also has a time limit, that is, when Li Chengqian returns to Chang'an, or when Li Shimin's body recovers.

It is very rare in the long history of China to hand over such imperial power to a prince other than the prince, and for such a long time.

If it were someone else, they would have to suspect that Li Shimin was threatened by Li You before making such a decision, and it was even very possible that someone would immediately prepare to send troops to serve the king.

But this person happened to be Li You.

Hearing that Li Shimin was seriously ill and that the crown prince was far away at the front line, the ministers in the court and the central government were all worried. Many people even proposed to recall Li Chengqian and let him give up this expedition.

You must know that Li Chengqian's quick return to Chang'an may be a good thing for Datang, but it is not the case for Li Chengqian.

Although his reputation in the army will not be affected by this incident, his military exploits this time will definitely be obtained by Li Chuang who has returned from victory.

At that time, Li Chuang's power will be further strengthened.

Just when all the ministers were worried, the news of Li You's appointment as supervisor came.

Immediately, everyone felt a sense of relief.

We must know that if the prison state is replaced by another person, although the situation of the court can be temporarily stabilized, it is difficult to say whether this person can suppress Li Chuang.

If Li Chuang had doubts about this person's appointment and wanted to forcibly break into Zhong Nanshan, then no one in the current court except Li You could stop him.

It is precisely because of this that Li You presided over the court meeting for the first time in an extremely harmonious situation.

Li You asked all departments to continue their previous responsibilities, and if they encountered any problems, they could report them.

Everyone understands Li You's temperament, so they usually don't report to Li You if there is no major trouble.

But how could the major affairs of the country be completed within one temple and one prison department?

After the private coordination failed, the matter was still put in front of Li You.

This time it was Taifu Temple and the Ministry of Households who made trouble in front of Li You.

The two departments originally had overlapping responsibilities, but this year they quarreled again because of the tax burden.

Speaking of which, this matter is still closely related to Li You.

Under Li You's vigorous appeal, Datang coins have basically become popular.

Therefore, Li You set up a central bank and three major commercial banks on the basis of Datang coins, so that the people of Datang can take the lead in enjoying the convenience brought by financial services.

This year is the first year of full operation of the banking system, so the Taifu Temple and the Ministry of Households want to compete for his related taxes.

Taifu Temple decided that according to the past practice, the taxation of this kind of central unified establishment should be borne by Taifu Temple.

The Ministry of Accounting also felt that the three major banks had branches in various state capitals, and the establishment of these branches was completed with the assistance of the Ministry of Accounting, so tax revenue should naturally belong to the Ministry of Accounting.

Because the two departments had quarreled many times over this issue, Li Shimin was also hesitant, so now they want to hear the opinion of Li You, the instigator.

Faced with such a problem, Li You is also one of the first two.

According to his thinking, in addition to the waste of personnel, the two tax collection teams in this country will also cause internal friction.

What happened this time is a good proof.

However, the Nine Temples and Five Prisons have a long history. Even if Shangshu Province has great power now, if it is abolished immediately, it will bring a lot of problems.

Li You understands that, not to mention that he is just a prisoner, even if he becomes the emperor, it will not be a matter of one day to solve this problem.

However, although these two departments cannot be moved, Li You has already thought of a solution to this matter.
