The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

What else is there to bother about?

This manor in Jingyang County is such a good place, with food and shelter here, and a body of knowledge can be better passed on in the future.

Let my son take care of the Lu family mansion in Chang'an City.

Anyway, no matter how big or small this yard on the manor is, it will definitely be enough for an old man like him to live in the future, plus a few servants.

If you want to meet up, just come to the manor.

Lu Deming has been on the manor for so long that he doesn't consider himself an outsider. If he wants to eat something, he can just send someone to greet the cook in Li Fu's mansion.

At this age, what matters is to act spontaneously. Besides, your husband is still counting on me to support the academy.

It's useless not to use me.

Old man Lu is contented on this manor.

When Li Fu said he would take the children to Cuiwei Palace, Lu Deming only told Li Chengqian and the others that if they lived in Cuiwei Palace and stayed with His Majesty, they should study hard and serve their parents well.

The next time he came to the manor, he would test their homework.

Li Chengqian and the others stood in a row in front of Lu Deming and bowed to the teacher politely.

The next morning, the house was ready. After Li Fu and Li Chengqian had breakfast, they got on the carriage and went to Cuiwei Palace.

The weather was still cooler when they set out early in the morning.

Li Tai and the others took the carriage, while Li Fu took Li Chengqian with him on horseback.

Wait until the sun comes up outside before getting in the carriage.

The servants also prepared ice cubes in another carriage. When the carriage was stuffy, they put the ice cubes in a copper basin and placed it in the carriage. As long as they fanned it with a fan, it would be much cooler.

Li Shimin and his people had settled down in Cuiwei Palace a long time ago, and their life there was on track. Cuiwei Palace was surrounded by five gardens, and the gate in the north of the palace was called Yunxia Gate, which contained Cuiwei Hall, Crown Prince's Palace, Hanfeng Hall, and Jinhua Gate in the west of the palace contained Anshan Hall.

Li Fu led Li Chengqian and his people into the palace from Yunxia Gate, and asked the servants to follow the arrangements of the palace staff. He took the children and went to Hanfeng Hall first, where Li Shimin handled government affairs every day.

Empress Changsun was waiting for delivery in Cuiwei Hall, and all the imperial doctors and palace servants served inside and outside the hall.

The eunuch walked into Hanfeng Hall.

"Your Majesty, Prince Jingyang brought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei..."

Before the eunuch finished speaking, Li Shimin interrupted him.

"Let them in."

"Yes." The eunuch responded.

Soon, Li Fu entered the hall with the children.

"Your humble servant greets my second brother."

"Your son greets my father."

One big and four small children stood in the hall and saluted Li Shimin.

"Okay, we are all family." Li Shimin smiled, then waved to Princess Changle with a smile.

"Lizhi, come here, Yeye."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to Li Lizhi.

Li Fu hid the contempt on his face.

Tsk, dead clamp.

It's hard to say whether Li Shimin loves any of these children, but he is really close to his own daughter.

As for sons, he loves them, but he doesn't love them so much all day long.

But it's different for daughters.

Thinking of his daughter getting married in the future, the old father felt heartbroken.

Li Lizhi threw herself into Li Shimin's arms.

"Father."

"Let father take a good look at little Li Zhi." Li Shimin looked at his daughter carefully: "You have been to the farm for so long, you seem to be tanned."

"But you are stronger now, and you can run around Uncle Wang's house twice without any problem."

"Really? Then father's little Li Zhi is really amazing." Li Shimin looked at his daughter with a smile, and then turned his head to look at his sons again.

"Cheng Qian Qingque, you guys go to Cuiwei Palace for a while, go see your mother, Ke'er, your mother is here too, you can live with your mother."

In Cuiwei Palace, the Prince's Palace has been cleaned up, waiting for the children to come and live in it.

The Prince's Palace in Cuiwei Palace is just a name, and it does not have a special meaning like the Wude Palace in the palace.

"Then I will not disturb my second brother and the children from enjoying the family happiness." Li Fu bowed and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute." Li Shimin stopped Li Fu: "In a moment, the Right Prime Minister, the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Minister of War will come here to discuss matters. You stay and accompany them. In addition, I have something to ask you."

Li Fu cupped his hands and could only agree.

Li Shimin did not have much time to reunite with his children, so he asked the eunuch to take the children away first, but he did leave Li Chengqian behind and let Li Chengqian sit next to him to listen to government affairs.

Whether it is possible or notIf you can understand, just listen first. If there is anything you don't understand, he, the father, will explain it to him later.

Since he is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is only natural to start training him now. Sooner or later, he will have to deal with the affairs of the court. There is nothing that needs to be avoided from the crown prince.

"What do you want to ask me, brother?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, then said: "The young man from the Du family has arrived at your farm now, right?"

"Yes, I handed him over to Yan Shaojiang and let him train with Yan Shaojiang."

"Du Ruhui took the initiative to hand over the Du family's salt pond iron mine to the court." Li Shimin said: "During the previous court meeting, the Du family did not say anything. Although I was angry, I thought about it later and it was indeed as you said. I also thought it through. But it has not been long since Du Ruhui did this. At this moment, I really don't know how to compensate the Du family."

"To be honest, up to now, I haven't figured out how to exchange the salt and iron business rights from the hands of the family."

"This is a big deal. The situation of the Du family is quite special now. Du Ruhui made such a choice. What is his idea? I can think of some of the methods, but it is not so easy for other noble families. If the court gives too much, the court will lose money if it does this, but if it does not give enough, they will not easily hand over this benefit to the court. For this reason, I am very distressed. "

"When I was in the palace, I also asked Wei Zheng about his opinion on this matter. His opinion is the same as mine, but he has no better way. "

"Then the second brother asked Du Gou to go to the manor..."

"Didn't you say that the matter in Linying County is not over yet? In the future, I plan to let Du Gou go to Linying County." Li Shimin said: "So, let him go to your manor to experience and learn in advance. When the matter in Linying County begins in the future, he will go directly there, which will save a lot of trouble. Moreover, the people you bring out in the manor will not be bad. "
