    Just as he was thinking about it, the door to the main hall was suddenly pushed open. A man wearing a bright yellow crew-neck shirt stood at the door and looked at him, with a smile on his face and shouted: "Brother, you are back." Li Chengqian was quite surprised.  This person was Li Min. He was still for a few seconds, and suddenly he was about to kneel down, but a hand held him up.  Li Min pulled Li Chengqian into the main hall and said to him: "Look, who is here to see you." Li Chengqian was still in the fog, his head was blank, but he saw the two people sitting in the room.  Suddenly, it was as if he was struck by lightning. His body could not help but tremble slightly. His Adam's apple rolled several times. He shouted with difficulty in a hoarse voice: "Father", but his voice got stuck in his throat again. He thought of himself.  Now a commoner, he bowed and saluted: "Li Chengqian, a common man, comes to see the emperor and the queen!" Queen Changsun burst into tears the moment she saw Li Chengqian, and kept wiping her tears with silk, while Li Shimin's expression was heartbroken and filled with sadness.  With some bitterness, he said: "Get a life, your mother and I are here to see you. Seeing that you are living a good life now, I and your mother are relieved. From now on, you can live a peaceful life in Yizhou and don't worry about it anymore."  Do you have any other unreasonable thoughts?" Li Chengqian's tears welled up in his eyes and he tried not to hold them back, but his voice was choked with sobs. "Chengqian remembers that in the past two years, Chengqian has been grateful for the care of His Highness the Crown Prince all the time.  " Li Min sighed in his heart. Power and desire can turn a person into a monster. Li Chengqian, who has given up some things, is becoming more and more like a normal person. He said: "Brother, there are only us here, so you don't have to limit your identity.  , Just say whatever you want." Empress Changsun wiped her tears and said, "What Liulang said is, don't be too restrained." Li Chengqian looked at Ashinalan, Hou Haitang and Su, and asked them to take the children for the time being.  go out.  But Li Shimin stopped him and said: "No need, we have talked together, they are very sensible, this is your blessing, now you also have three children, Li Xiang is not young anymore, I  I told Liulang that you should send him to school. Your father has made a mistake. But Xiang'er is also a member of the royal family. How can you keep him at home and prevent him from studying? " Li Chengqian looked ashamed.  , "Chengqian is a guilty person. If Xiang'er went to a place like that, wouldn't it be a stain on that place." Li Min couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. After all, he couldn't micromanage everything and take care of every little thing, but he really didn't expect that Li Chengqian would do it because of  For this reason, the eldest son stayed at home. He looked at Li Xiang who was hiding behind Su. He was seven or eight years old.  He was at the age of going to school and said: "Brother, this is your fault. There is no distinction between high and low in this Yizhou primary school. How can you say it is a slander? The purpose of running this school is to let all the children in Yizhou be able to  Go to school, your current household registration is in Yizhou, so you can naturally send your children to school." He glanced at Li Xiang awkwardly.  Li Chengqian called out: "Why don't you come over and thank His Highness the Crown Prince!" Mrs. Su stood up from behind with a smile on her face. Li Xiang was still a little afraid of people and had been bored at home for a long time.  He was naturally afraid when he saw a stranger. After bowing to Li Min, Li Xiang hid behind his mother.  Empress Changsun looked at Li Chengqian who had gained a lot of weight, and then looked at Li Chengqian's three beady wives. She felt relieved. Li Min had really taken good care of them in these years, and many of the things used in Li Chengqian's home were in  It¡¯s not even available in Chang¡¯an. There is even electricity in this small building. The sheets and bedding are made of cotton fabrics that have emerged in the past two years. There are also a lot of chicken, fish, meat and eggs in the kitchen. Even the ministers cannot enjoy this kind of living standard.  Well, especially for things like electricity, only the newly built Daming Palace has circuits designed so far, and the electricity used still comes from diesel generators.  Li Shimin chatted with Li Chengqian for a while and asked about work and life matters. Li Chengqian answered them one by one. He felt relieved when he learned that Li Chengqian's life was good now. He stayed for half an hour and asked Empress Changsun to ask questions.  They got up and left. They came in secret and didn't want people to know too much.  "Father, mother, I'm sorry for you!" Li Shimin and Li Min all got on the car. Li Chengqian suddenly knelt down and cried loudly. Su also led Ashina Lan and Hou Haitang to kneel down.  Li Min saw a glimmer of light shining in the corner of Li Shimin's eyes. He waved his hand to let Li Chengqian go back, and then closed the car door. He understood that the water was now overturned and he could no longer restore Li Chengqian's identity, because now the officials of the entire Tang Dynasty were against him.  Li Min followed suit. Many of them were ruthless and skilled in exploiting the enemy. It was inevitable that they would not persuade Li Min to kill Li Chengqian just to show his loyalty to Li Min.  Li Shimin sighed deeply and turned back to the palace. When they came back, Li Shimin and Queen Changsun were in a much better mood. In the evening, the Prince's Palace held a grand banquet and invited many dignitaries, including Li Yuan and Qin Shubao.They also came, and even some dignitaries like Li Xiaogong who originally lived in Chang'an were also present, because after many Chang'an nobles came to Yizhou, they never wanted to go back to Chang'an after enjoying the rich material life here.  People settled here, and most of them were veterans who had basically withdrawn from the government. There were also princes like the King of Han Li Yuanchang and some nobles.  However, Li Shimin was also happy for them to live in Yizhou, because none of these people were peaceful masters in their own fiefdoms and caused him trouble all day long. However, these people all settled down after arriving in Yizhou.  , everyone abides by the law. This is not because their temperament has changed, but because Yizhou¡¯s laws do not recognize the powerful. No matter who breaks the law, they will still be punished. At first, some young powerful people did not believe in this evil.  They bullied men and women in Yizhou. As a result, these people are still in prison and keep company with rats. No one can plead for mercy. Since then, even Li Yuanchang and his like have not dared to cause trouble and violate laws in Yizhou.  Law and discipline, and when they learned that the prince Wu who captured them was controlled by the prince's concubine, their tails tightened. Trouble with her was almost the same as trouble with Li Min.  After the dinner, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, Qin Shubao and other old friends talked freely, while Li Min was stopped by Li Yuanjing, Li Yuanchang and other imperial uncles. Although they often come to Yizhou, they rarely come to Yizhou.  When they met Li Min, because Li Min often traveled around, they had no chance to talk to Li Min about their uncle-nephew relationship. Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they would naturally not let it go.  Li Yuanjing is the sixth son of Li Yuan. He is several months older than Li Yuanchang. They are the same age. Li Yuanchang has made a fortune relying on coal in recent years, but his restaurant is in the remote north. Once Li Yuanchang said that he would bring him to Yili.  After that, he could never leave Yizhou again. Relying on his family property, he exchanged 500,000 yuan when Yizhou issued currency. In Yizhou, he was eating, drinking and having fun, but after all these years, Yizhou  Prices in the state continued to rise, and money became less and less valuable. He then began to want to do some business, otherwise the money would be squandered in a short time, but he was not like Li Yuanchang in the coal-rich city.  There was no way to do business in Hedong Road, so he wanted to ask Li Min for a way to make money. As long as it was recommended by Li Min, at least he wouldn't lose money, right?  Li Min was in a good mood tonight. He drank a few more drinks. Faced with the enthusiasm of these people like the emperor's uncle who rarely came to visit, he was embarrassed to refuse. After listening to Li Yuanjing's nagging, Li Min said: "This is not simple. What do you know?"  Is it a can? " Li Yuanjing thought for a moment. He didn't just eat, drink and have fun in Yizhou. He had also dealt with many businessmen. He had also heard of this can. He said, "I know this. It's just food.  It's in a sealed aluminum can." Li Min nodded, "Yes, that's it." Li Yuanjing hesitated and said, "It's just that there are many canneries in Yizhou now, and the Expeditionary Army's business is all over.  If I was robbed by them, what profit can I make now? " "Export to Luo Anguo. Haven't you heard about the recent construction of a trade base in Ryukyu?" Li Min asked.  "This is being spread by many people in the business community, and businessmen are all staring at this!" Li Yuanjing was overjoyed and said: "Your Highness, are you saying that the trading base will need a large number of cans by then?" Li Min nodded.  , Somalia is now short of food and drink, and the army's supplies are a problem. He is planning to buy canned food for the Somali army.  Li Yuanjing danced with joy, but then he suddenly covered his mouth and looked around carefully, fearing that others would hear the secret. He found the right opportunity to come over alone, "Your Highness, you must give priority to using my cans when the time comes."  "Yes." "As long as the quality is up to par, it doesn't matter if I use yours. But if the quality is not up to par, don't blame me for not using your products," Li Min said.  "Don't worry, Your Highness, I don't dare to mess around with this matter even though I'm full of courage. Not to mention that this is the way to make money from you. This is exported to Luo Anguo. I can't lose Datang because of quality issues."  Face." Li Yuanjing patted his chest and said.  Somalia is mainly based on animal husbandry and has very little food production, which means it is destined to rely on imports of food, fruits and the like. Once the coast is blocked, Somalia will have to face a food crisis. At that time, food for the army and people will be a problem.  If food can be purchased from Datang, then this problem can be ignored. Besides, as the saying goes, the money from selling oil is spent by others, and it is better to give it to the merchants of Datang.  After taking the reassurance, Li Yuanjing left in a hurry, and then one guy after another pestered him. This family is too big, so it's not all good things, Li Min thought gloomily.  (To be continued)
