After several years, Li Shimin finally returned to the Central Plains.

In Tai'an City, he finally met his sister Sanniang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. The brothers and sisters were happy to meet each other. Seeing that his sister had changed a lot, his personality became gentler, he always talked to him with three words and never separated from his children. Sanniang has been with Luo Cheng for almost ten years, and now she has three men and three women under her knees, which is considered a perfect and happy life. She ranks highly as a concubine in the harem, second only to the queen.

"It's a pity that Xuanba was unable to come to Tai'an, why would we three sisters meet again?"

Li Shimin said, "I heard that Xuanba has changed his civil service now and has done a good job as the prefect of Xingyang."

“It’s good.”

Li Shimin remembered that when he was young, his father was the prefect of Xingyang. At that time, he suffered from eye disease and his father looked for medical treatment for him everywhere. He often had to stay in the mansion and listen to books. Later, he finally found a monk in Daihai Temple in Xingyang to cure his eyes.

He reached out and touched his eye, but only touched the blindfold and shook his head.

In fact, when Li Xiuning entered the door, she saw his current vicissitudes of life. One eye was covered with a black eye mask and the other hand was replaced with an iron hook. She wanted to cry in pain, but she forced herself to do so, afraid that it would make her brother even more uncomfortable.

"Xuanba used to be weak and sick. Later, when you married a saint, Xuanba followed the saint. In less than a year or two, he could get the saint's wonderful recipe to adjust his body, and later he even became a double-hammer general. Now, he can become a local governor who can help the people and protect the people. It's really amazing."

"You are not bad, I often pay attention to you in the palace. From the long-lasting people in Lingnan to the Nantang County Magistrate, to the current Linyi County Magistrate, Erlang, it is not easy for you to go. In fact, if my sister wants to persuade you, it is better not to be too stubborn. Let go of some things you should give up. As long as you are willing to let go, Your Majesty will never remember the past."

Li Shimin smiled bitterly.

"Some things are so easy to forget."

Xiuning told him that the other sisters were living well, and they had children with Siye's two sisters. "Yili no longer drinks or beats them anymore. Now both have children. Siye treats them very much and lives are already good."

The husbands of the other sisters were either demoted or displaced before, but now they have been gradually pardoned and returned to the Central Plains. Some have been granted local officials, while others have returned to the court directly.

"But my father, my elder brother and the third brother can never survive again. There are those younger brothers who are not yet adult."

"Erlang, when will the revenge be repaid? His father also killed Siye's wife and children."

Li Shimin took out a stack of flying money from his arms.

"Sister Three, this is some of the money I have saved. I have stored the money in major banks and banks. With this flying money plus my seal, you can withdraw cash at any time."

Li Xiuning took it and looked it up and was immediately shocked.

"so much?"

"It's only one million yuan." Li Shimin said lightly, "Don't worry, I still have money in my hands."

"Where did you get so much money?"

"I haven't been idle for the past few years. Even if I became the county magistrate of Nantang, I was just a name. In fact, I have been carrying a fleet in Nanhai to trade spices, which is quite profitable." Li Shimin did not tell his sister that he was actually a thief and a businessman in the South China Sea. He had indeed accumulated a lot of money on the sea for several years, but the biggest he made was to capture the Lion City.

He handed the emperor over the eighteen gold medals of the 18th gold men in the Fan family's ancestral temple, worth more than 100,000 kilograms of gold. In addition, the gold, silver, money and silk in the palace were also handed over to the public, but the money of the nobles and officials and powerful merchants in the Lion City was a huge sum of money. After he shared it with Zhang Peng, the Chamber of Commerce and his pirates, he kept a lot of it.

Li Shimin's net worth has already exceeded tens of millions.

This time I spent a million to give to my sister, hoping that my sister and nephews would live a better life.

"Are you not afraid of attracting trouble for so much money?"

Li Shimin didn't care, "I believe that the emperor must know the money. He has so many eyes and ears, but he turned a blind eye because he knew very well that I had paid more over the years. Just by conquering the Lion City, I handed over tens of thousands of kilograms of gold to the emperor, and also handed over more than 30 million jin of money to the court, not to mention a Lion City and a King of Linyi. I and my subordinates kept it privately, and he would not ask about it."

"Sister, you can keep this million. Although you are a noble concubine, there are many concubines in this palace, and you will definitely not pay much for daily use. You have three sons and three daughters now. You have to treat yourself and have some money. You can also reward the palace ladies more. You can also make good friends with the female officials in charge of the affairs."

"The King of Wu is about to choose a title." Li Xiuning told his younger brother.

Among the emperor's sons, the prince Jiawen, who was born in the empress, was the most expensive, but if you want to say the smartest one, it was King Zhewei of Wu, who was born in Li.

The princes are getting older and the crown prince is getting less intelligent than the King of Wu. Now some people are beginning to argue that the King of Wu is more like a saint, and this kind of thing is actually a bit bold.

"Sister, I heard that the prince is not very smart?" Li Shimin said.

"Erlang, don't talk nonsense. The prince is very good, filial, loyal and kind."

Li Shimin smiled, "Filial piety, loyalty, kindness, these words are spoken from your mouth, making me believe the rumors outside. It seems that our prince is indeed not very smart."

"The saint likes the prince very much. The saint often says that being an emperor does not have to be extremely intelligent. The most important thing about being an emperor is morality, filial piety, kindness and humility. Now the prince is very favored by the saint. He takes the prince wherever he goes, and often teaches the prince to learn government affairs in person. The prince's masters he chooses are also famous generals in the court."

The crown prince's throne is very solid.

Li Shimin shook his head.

"Although I don't deal with him today, I have to say that he is indeed the lord of talent and strategy. Such an emperor is only thirty years old, and he has reached a height that many emperors cannot reach in their entire lives. He is only thirty years old now, and the prince is only teenager, so he can naturally tolerate the prince's incompetence. But if there are a few years left, can the saint accept the reality of the prince at that time?"

"Is this huge country really going to be handed over to such an ordinary person in the end?"

"Sister, King Wu is so smart and outstanding. If he spends time, he will definitely become a great man. With the contrast, the prince will become more incompetent. Who can guarantee that the emperor will not have any other thoughts?"

"Erlang, your idea is very dangerous." Li Xiuning couldn't hear the voice of his brothers. She wouldn't even think about this kind of thing. It was too dangerous. Once the dispute over the captain began, there would be no way out.

"Sister, you are Zhewei's mother, I am his uncle. Who will help him if we don't help him? Now, we can do something within our ability first." Li Shimin whispered.

It’s not that we want to rebel, but it’s not a big deal to give more money to the people around us and make friends with powerful eunuchs and female officials in the palace.

"You can accept this money."

"The saints will know."

"So what if I know, I'll give some money to my sister, it's natural!"
