Li Shimin also heard about it soon, and he was immediately happy.

"I just said that once this kid Qin Yang comes back, he will definitely solve this headache for me."

It wasn't just Qin Yang's ability to find water that surprised Li Shimin.

It's even more because Qin Yang is attracting attention, as long as Qin Yang can find groundwater, even if there are less than three hundred, as long as he succeeds partially, it will be enough to comfort people's hearts.

The public's attention will also shift from whether there is a drought to how many wells did Youzhou King order today?

You must know that the spirit of the people has been tense, and it is also prone to problems.

It is a good thing to have one or two other topics to attract the attention of the people and distract them.

Moreover, Qin Yang won the first battle!
As long as you don't miss too many times in the follow-up, public opinion among the people will be stabilized!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin is also full of confidence in the follow-up development.

He directly asked the eunuch to send some of his private collection to Youzhou Palace.

It was sent with great fanfare.

With his current relationship with Qin Yang, there was actually no need for such a face-saving project.

But if there is no face project that should be there, and it is agreed to be misunderstood, it will make people feel that the king of Youzhou has no sacred heart, and that there is a conflict between the king of Youzhou and him, the emperor.

But how is this possible!

He is almost treating Qin Yang as his own son now!

There is a difference between treating him as his own son and ordinary ministers.

Li Shimin protects his shortcomings, and anyone who is included in his own circle can get more trust and support from Li Shimin.

His trust in Qin Yang has grown over time, and this is the time when he trusts Qin Yang very much.Hearing that the folks were betting, Li Shimin thought about it, and even joined in himself.

"Come here, take 1 taels of gold and go bet on the King of Youzhou!"

Ten thousand taels of gold is equal to 1 taels of silver.

The same amount as Qin Yang pressured him.

Li Shimin is also just a statement, not just to make money.

After all, when making this bet, if you invest too much and participate too much, and the censors know about it, you will be persuaded again.But if he only voted 1 taels, even if he was found out, as long as he put in a few perfunctory words, he could still get over it.

Being an emperor, there are so many restrictions these days!
As Li Shimin's money was thrown out, Princess Changle, Empress Changsun, King Wu Li Ke, and even Li Chengqian, who is still the king of the county, all cast some money in succession.

The investment of this money made the gambling game more lively.

Those people who didn't know were surprised to see that so many people believed that the king of Youzhou could make zero mistakes.

However, those of them who have invested money have already invested.

Those who have not invested money will basically not invest again.

As for the merchants who invested the most money, they also smelled something different at this time.

But they have already invested a large amount of money, and if they want to change their investment, the cost is too high!
I can only comfort myself, even if it is as magical as the King of Youzhou, it is impossible to be that awesome!

Changsun Wuji also heard about this and couldn't help laughing.

"I'm afraid these people don't know how powerful King Youzhou is!"

Ever since his eldest son Changsun Chong established a foothold in Youzhou and even turned their hostility into friendship with the King of Youzhou, Changsun Wuji's attitude towards the King of Youzhou has also changed somewhat.

The specific change is that he will no longer attack people related to King Youzhou at will in the court.

He will never take the initiative to mention King Youzhou again.

This seems to be ignoring King Youzhou directly, but in fact, it is already a kind of show of favor.

You know, if everyone in the court praises a king with a different surname, it is not a good thing.

Even if Li Shimin trusts King Youzhou now, but in the long run, how many emperors can tolerate such a king with a different surname who has real power and a good reputation?

Even if that person is his son-in-law, it's a bit worrying.

Although Changsun Wuji didn't open his mouth to criticize King Youzhou, but he kept silent, so that people can't figure out what his attitude is now.

Some people will continue to criticize Youzhou King, just like criticizing other kings with different surnames.

But in fact, Changsun Wuji no longer intends to make himself an enemy of King Youzhou.

Among Li Shimin's successors, he is indeed more optimistic about Jin Wang Li Zhi.

Not only because Li Zhi is young, but history fans seem to live a long life.

What's more, Jin Wang Li Zhi is also his legitimate son, the son of Empress Changsun, and his nephew. Among all his nephews, this nephew is also the one with the best temper.

As one of the powerful ministers, Changsun Wuji naturally didn't want to end up with a ruined family.

However, as a former powerful minister, he is unwilling to let him retreat bravely now.

There is no one in the descendants who can take over. If he retires, wouldn't the eldest grandson's family be over?

But if he doesn't retreat now, how can he be pleasing to the eye when the next emperor ascends the throne?
This is a difficult problem.

The former prince Li Chengqian had a bad temper, and his relationship with Changsun Wuji was so-so from the beginning.Moreover, as a prince, Li Chengqian was surrounded by too many people, and he did not need Changsun Wuji's closeness and support to gain a firm foothold.

Under such circumstances, Changsun Wuji naturally would not lower his status to "compete for favor" with those around Li Chengqian.

As a powerful minister, he also has his own pride!
Under such circumstances, he naturally chooses someone who is more beneficial to him!
And the candidate he chose was Jin Wang Li Zhi.

Judging from all conditions, the other party is his best choice.

This is also the reason why Changsun Wuji had been at odds with Youzhou King Qinyang before, because he faintly felt that Youzhou King Qinyang would be an obstacle to his goal of supporting Jin Wang Li Zhi to become a leader!
Although many people now think that it is impossible for Wu Wang and Li Ke to be in power, even Changsun Wuji actually thinks that the possibility of Wu Wang and Li Ke's being in power is very slim.

After all, Li Shimin has several sons, and there are also many legitimate sons. With several sons, how could he choose Li Ke, the king of Wu, who obviously has a problem with his mother's blood?
However, the existence of Youzhou King Qinyang made Changsun Wuji feel threatened.

At that time, he wanted to pull Youzhou King down before he grew up!

Although he didn't know what was going on with that instinctive anxiety, it didn't stop him from being the first to act!

But who made it fail at that time!

His eldest grandson's family also suffered a lot because of Qin Yang.

Now, the king of Youzhou is already full of wings. Even if it is just a new king who has just been operating in Youzhou for about two years, it is not easy for Changsun Wuji to overthrow him.

This is one of the reasons why Changsun Wuji is willing to put aside his hatred and let his eldest son go to Youzhou.

It is not only to leave a way for the eldest grandson's family, but also because he has nothing to do with Qin Yang.

Since you can't kill them, it's better to be friends.
