Chapter 1206 Li Xiu's comfort

"Your father asked you to go to Bingzhou next year?" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard the news from Li Zhi, but then he guessed what was going on, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Yes, my father found me last night. He first said a lot of things, and then suddenly said that he wanted me to go to Bingzhou next year. He also said that it was for my own good, but he didn't tell me the reason. I thought about it last night but didn't figure it out until midnight, so I hoped that the gentleman would help me solve my doubts." Li Zhi said helplessly at this time, and the two dark circles on his face were particularly obvious.

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Xiu smiled and shook, "Zhi Nu, the reason why your father didn't tell you is actually for your own good, so don't inquire again, even if I know, I can't tell you."

"Ah~, my father said so, but I couldn't understand why his father sent me to Bingzhou, and why he said it was for my own good?" Li Zhi saw that even Li Xiu was unwilling to tell him the reason for this matter, and he couldn't help but complain with great distress. He almost drove himself crazy to think about this matter yesterday.

"Don't be too upset. With my understanding of your father, he is actually reluctant to let you leave your side. For example, last time you went to Liaodong, if it weren't for the help of Yizi, your father wouldn't agree at all. Now you have just returned not long ago. If it weren't for the seriousness, he wouldn't have thought of sending you away." Li Xiu advised again at this time, worried that Li Zhi would not understand for a while, which would have complained about Li Shimin and affected the relationship between them.

"Sir, don't worry. Although I don't know what my father's difficulties are, I know that he loves me very much. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let me live in the palace all the time and wouldn't have to let me leave the palace and live alone, so I won't have any complaints about my father." Li Zhi also knew what Li Xiu meant and said with a smile.

Seeing Li Zhi's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh. In fact, Li Shimin's idea was very simple, just to transfer Li Zhi out of Chang'an to avoid it. Because Changsun Wuji deliberately approached Li Zhi during this period. If he continued to let this continue, Li Zhi would probably be involved in the fight for the throne in the end. Now Li Tai and Li Chengqian alone have already made Li Shimin feel nervous. Li Zhi is already the only legitimate son who has not been involved in the fight for the throne, so Li Shimin would not hesitate to let him leave Chang'an temporarily to ensure that Li Zhi would not be involved.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he actually has other ways to deal with Li Zhi. For example, he can warn Changsun Wuji and prohibit him from approaching Li Zhi with ulterior motives. However, Changsun Wuji has been Li Shimin for many years and is the most capable assistant around him. Therefore, Li Shimin cannot bear to destroy the relationship between the two. In addition, even without Changsun Wuji, there may be other people with ulterior motives who approach Li Zhi, so the best way is to let Li Zhi leave the power vortex of Chang'an.

"Actually, it's good to leave Chang'an. As a prince, Chi Nu, you are already carrying a heavier burden than ordinary people. If you have been living in Chang'an and growing up under the wings of your father, it looks good, but it is difficult to go through the wind and rain. This is not good for your growth. Only after you go to another place can you truly learn to be independent, which reminds me of your third brother Li Ke." Li Xiu felt that Li Zhi was depressed, so he comforted him again.

"Stern brother?" Li Zhi couldn't help but lit up when he heard Li Xiu mention his third brother Li Ke who was far away in Yangzhou, "I heard that the third brother has done a good job in Yangzhou and has built Yangzhou into a very prosperous big city. Many people even call Yangzhou 'Southern Chang'an'. Even when his father mentioned the third brother, he praised it."

Li Zhi and Li Ke have a good relationship. Although Li Ke is in Yangzhou most of the time and does not return to Chang'an easily, he rarely meets Li Zhi, but he often sends people to send some southern specialties to Li Zhi and his brothers and sisters. In addition, he performed very well in Yangzhou, so Li Zhi even admired Li Ke, his brother, but he would never dream of it. In the original history, Li Ke's brother died at his hands, and he died in great grievances.

"Yes, your third brother did a good job in Yangzhou. I remember when he went to Yangzhou, it seemed that when he was at your current age. Speaking of which, you, the governor of Bingzhou, is much stronger than his governor of Yangzhou. Almost the entire Taiyuan Prefecture is under your jurisdiction, and Taiyuan is the key to the transportation between the Tang Dynasty and the grassland. If it develops well, it will definitely not be worse than your third brother!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.

Li Zhi was named King of Jin, but his official position was the governor of Bingzhou. Speaking of which, Bingzhou was originally the ancient name of Taiyuan, and the abbreviation of Taiyuan "Bing" also comes from this. It can be said that Bingzhou is actually Taiyuan. However, when Li Zhi was named King of Jin, according to his title, his fief should be Taiyuan, but Taiyuan was the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the Longxing land of the Tang Dynasty. It was absolutely impossible to be the fief of the prince, even if Li Shimin loved this son no matter how much he loved this son.

In this case, Li Shimin finally used a trick. He divided part of the Taiyuan rule and named it Bingzhou as Li Zhi's fief. However, in fact, Li Zhi's position as the governor of Bingzhou was extremely powerful, and he almost controlled the military and political power of the entire Taiyuan. Li Ji was usually in charge. Therefore, Li Xiucai said that Li Zhi's governor of Bingzhou was stronger than Li Ke's governor of Yangzhou. After all, no matter how prosperous Yangzhou was, it was still not as good as Luoyang and Taiyuan.

"I... can I really compare Bingzhou management like my third brother to Chang'an?" Li Zhi couldn't help but show excited expressions when he heard Li Xiu's words. Children are like this and are very eager to do something like an adult. So when Li Xiu used Li Ke to set an example for him, Li Zhi was naturally excited, and all his previous losses were thrown away by him.

"What's impossible? Actually, you have better conditions than your third brother. Although you are both princes, you are the legitimate descendant, and you know your third brother's situation. Because of his mother's identity, his situation is worse than that of ordinary princes. In addition, he is my student like you. I can tell you that your third brother is not smarter than you, so you are completely likely to do better than your third brother!" Li Xiu also cheered Li Zhi up.

In fact, Li Xiu's words were a bit exaggerated. Judging from the external conditions, Li Ke was indeed not as good as Li Zhi everywhere, and even Li Shimin favored Li Zhi more, but Li Ke had many advantages that Li Ke did not have, especially in terms of personality. It can be said that among Li Shimin's sons, Li Ke's personality is most similar to Li Shimin, and he is decisive and courageous in his work, while Li Zhi is a little indecisive compared to Li Ke.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel confident. His disappointment with Chang'an turned into expectations and ambitions. He wanted to fly to Bingzhou immediately and do something big. At that time, everyone would look at him with admiration, just like his third brother.

Seeing Li Zhi's excited look, Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time his eyes couldn't help but look to the direction of Chang'an City in the north. This time he helped Li Shimin hide it from Li Zhi. However, as Li Zhi grew older, he might understand sooner or later the reason why Li Shimin transferred him out of Chang'an. I hope that he can keep his original intention and never be fascinated by the throne like Li Tai.

Just as Li Xiu was talking to Li Zhi, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were also having a conversation in Liangyi Hall of Tai Chi Palace, but they were not talking about private matters, but important government affairs.

"Your Majesty, since the last time the court stepped up the supervision of Turkic people in various places, although most of the Turkic people have become more honest, some of the Turkic people are dissatisfied, and conflicts with local governments have occurred from time to time. Now the Ministry of Justice has handled many cases about Turkic people. Now the local and Ministry of Justice hope that the court can severely punish the Turkic people to intimidate the remaining Turkic people." Changsun Wuji picked up a memorial and reported it to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin heard that he moved to Guanzhong, the Turks in Henan and other places dared to cause trouble, he frowned and said with some annoyance: "These Turks are really ungrateful and dared to cause trouble at this time. Since this is the case, I will fulfill their wishes. All the Turks who made trouble, as well as their relatives, will be exiled to Hongzhou for Zhao Deyan to deal with it!"

"Yes!" Hearing Li Shimin's reply, Changsun Wuji immediately agreed, then picked up a pen and recorded Li Shimin's reply on the memorial. The memorial will be sent to the door to save the matter. If the door to the door has no objection, it will be sent to the Shangshu Province to be responsible for execution. The Secretary of the Central Committee will take the order, the disciple will reject it, and the Shangshu will follow it. This is also the operating rules of the highest power of the Tang Dynasty.

"Hou Junji sent a war report. They had captured Tiandicheng, an important town in Gaochang, and captured more than 7,000 men and women. As a result, Qu Wentai saw that our army was so strong, and he died of fear. Now his son Qu Zhisheng succeeded to the throne, but Qu Zhisheng refused to surrender and still led his troops to resist." At this time, Changsun Wuji picked up a war report and reported to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin heard that Qu Wentai was dead, he couldn't help but laugh happily and said, "This stupid man is so timid. He was scared to death before the army captured Gaochang City. But it was a bargain. Otherwise, I would definitely offer him to the Taimiao and cut off his dog's head himself!"
