The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 17 It's time to start preparing
Li Yuan left, Wang Tan and Wang Xiaoer were also escorted by the guards to be executed.Wang Yushi promised Li Shimin that 1000 taels of silver would be sent to Tiance Mansion to Li Tai soon.Then he left in a hurry.After all, he has lost a lot of people today, and if he stays any longer, he will only be ridiculed by others.

Li Tai blinked his big eyes, and said cutely to Li Shimin: "Father, can that Wang Yushi really keep his word? What if he doesn't give up."

"Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me. I'll settle the score with you after I get home today." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he bid farewell to everyone.Then he took Li Tai out of the Golden Temple.Several other children were also taken away by their families.Only Luo Tong followed Li Shimin back to Tiance Mansion.

Back in Tiance Mansion, Changsun Wugou hastily asked Li Shimin where the war happened.Are you going to lead the army in command again?Because Changsun Wugou saw Li Shimin's tense face, he thought that something difficult must have happened.

"What happened to the war, I have to ask your precious son." Li Shimin said angrily to his eldest grandson Wugou.

Hearing that the matter involved Li Tai, Changsun Wugou looked at Li Tai who was beside Li Shimin.He didn't pay attention to Li Tai just now, he came back with Li Shimin.Because the eldest grandson Wugou's heart is all on whether Li Shimin is going to go to war again.So I didn't care at all why Li Tai was with Li Shimin.

Hearing what Li Shimin said, he bowed his head and asked Li Tai: "What's going on, you can't beat the Chaotian drum, right?"

"Mother, that drum was indeed played by Qing Que. It's just that someone bullied Qing Que, and Qing Que wanted to complain to Grandpa Huang, so that's why he beat the drum." Li Tai still kept that cute expression, and he didn't care about his eldest grandson. Kuu said.

Before Changsun Wugou could say anything, Luo Tong on the side said, "Mother-in-law, Li Tai is not to blame for this incident, but to blame that damned Wang Yushi, whose housekeeper is bullying..." Luo Tong followed He told his grandson Wugou what happened.

Seeing the worried expression on Changsun Wugou's face, Li Shimin said: "At first, I thought that you would be more sensible if you were a famous teacher. I didn't expect that you would take someone to go to the West Market to mess around. If it wasn't for Cheng Yaojingang passing by, I can't say what happened now." It's the same thing. The emperor grounded you for two months, I think it's still too light."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Changsun Wugou immediately understood Li Shimin's intentions.So he also said with an angry expression: "Your father is right. Two months of grounding is indeed too light. I will punish you for copying thousands of words every day."

Seeing Li Tai drooping his head, he walked away dejectedly.Li Shimin just showed a smile, and then said to the eldest grandson Wugou beside him: "Fortunately, you understand my intentions, otherwise, if you say something nice for him, I think this kid's tail will stick to the sky."

"You and I have been husband and wife for many years, how can I not see your intentions. It's just that this will make little Qingque sad." Changsun Wugou said with a little worry.

"He will be sad. You can see how good his acting skills are. He obviously blackmailed Wang Yushi for 1000 taels of silver, but let him say it in front of his father, as if he had been wronged." Li Shimin shook his head. , said with a smile.In fact, Li Shimin felt indescribably happy at this time.

"The five surnames and seven sects are indeed a bit too rampant. Relying on their suzerain's strength, they always exclude other officials. It is not a way to go on like this." Changsun Wugou said to Li Shimin.

"Aristocratic families are beneficial to the country, but they also have disadvantages. Before they are fully sure, they cannot be shaken. Otherwise, they will be as eager for success as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and eventually the ancestral temple will be lost." Li Shimin said with a sigh.

Don't talk about Li Shimin chatting with the eldest grandson Wugou, just say that Li Tai and Luo Tong have returned to their small courtyard.After returning, Li Tai happily said to Luo Tong: "Brother, we have money this time, but the 1000 taels is really too little, we must find a way to increase it."

"Let me tell you, Li Tai, you are still thinking about money. Shouldn't you think about how you should spend the two months of confinement?" Luo Tong said worriedly to Li Tai.

In Luo Tong's eyes, he was grounded for two months.Undoubtedly, it is a huge punishment, not to mention copying thousands of words every day.This is simply beyond his imagination.

"It doesn't matter what the grounding is. Anyway, I don't want to go out and wander around. But the matter of making money can't be delayed. After the 1000 taels of silver are delivered, you can take it and find someone to buy some shrimp skins. It must be good." I have a use for the dried shrimp skin." Li Tai said to Luo Tong with an indifferent expression.

"Li Tai, it's not that I won't help you. But I really don't know what to do if I'm asked to buy shrimp skins." Luo Tong scratched his head and said helplessly to Li Tai.

Luo Tong's words reminded Li Tai that he and Luo Tong were still children.There's really no way this can be done.It seems that I really need someone who can run things for me.

Suddenly Li Tai thought of a person, he was Zou Fengchi, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty during the reign of Tang Gaozong.According to the time calculation, he should not have made his fortune yet, and should still live in Huaidefang, West City, Chang'an.If he can get his allegiance, then he probably won't be short of money in the future.

So Li Tai said to Luo Tong: "Since we can't do this, let's find someone who can do it. You go to Huaidefang, West City, Chang'an, find a man named Zou Fengchi, and put him Bring me here."

Although Luo Tong didn't know why Li Tai wanted to find someone named Zou Fengchi.But Luo Tong didn't ask why, because he felt that Li Tai definitely had his own ideas.The most important thing is that after what happened today, Luo Tong has already admired Li Tai for a long time.

After Luo Tong left, Li Tai began to plan the next step of development for himself.I was grounded for two months, and when I was lifted from the ground, my father had already become the emperor.At the same time, his eldest brother, Li Chengqian, will also be named the prince.

According to historical records, the battle between myself and my eldest brother really started at that moment.So there is not much time for Li Tai, within these two months, he must have his own foundation.

So the names of Xue Rengui, Gao Kan and others appeared in Li Tai's mind.This is a person who grew up in Taizong's time and shined in Gaozong's time.So they are also the targets that Li Tai wants to recruit.You can only control these potential stocks in your own hands.Only then can you be invincible.

But Li Tai will not forget that the real strength is his own strength.So now Li Tai urgently needs to exercise his body well.As long as he possesses strong military power, he can expand the territory of Datang.At the same time, these great achievements will also become the weight of his victory.
