After seven years of fiefdom, Li Shimin asked me to return and become the crown prince.

Taiji Palace, Ganlu Hall

"What happened in Chang'an during the time I was away?"

Li Shimin was flipping through the recent memorials and looking at Wang Fangyi, the leader of the Baekje Division, who was half-kneeling on the ground.

He was also the head of Li Shimin's secret guards. He knew all the affairs of the officials in the capital and some secrets of the officials in various places.

This was also the terror of the Baekje Division.

"During the time you were away, Chang'an City was relatively peaceful, and the noble families were all very well behaved. However, Wei Zheng in the court was somewhat dissatisfied with you for abandoning government affairs and reciting Buddhist scriptures in seclusion!"

Wang Fangyi explained, and he was a little hesitant when he mentioned Wei Zheng.

"Humph, it's that old man Wei Zheng again!"Li Shimin snorted coldly. Did he really think he was in seclusion chanting Buddha? What a stubborn old man.

Every time Wei Zheng was mentioned, his head hurt.

What an old man who refused to listen to anything.

If it weren't for maintaining his own image, he would have banished Wei Zheng to Lingnan long ago....Now don't go to Lingnan, go to the north

"What about the palace?"After thinking for a while, he flipped through the memorials and continued to ask insignificant questions.

It seemed that he was asking about a trivial matter.

Wang Fangyi was stunned and his body tensed. This was about the platform and the princes.

In fact, he didn't want to investigate the internal affairs of the royal family, but Li Shimin's request made him do it.

"The princes are relatively well behaved and are studying hard. The crown prince has become more stable with the support of Lord Zhangsun. The King of Wei is also studying his Confucianism and having a great time talking with some great Confucian scholars!"

Wang Fangyi spoke very cautiously, trying his best to say good things about each prince.

Li Shimin knew Wang Fangyi's concerns and did not say anything about the two princes' fantasies, but Li Shimin was so smart that he knew too much from Wang Fangyi's mouth.

Li Tai seemed very dissatisfied with his elder brother.

Humph, you only know how to fight every day, don't you know how to do something practical? Don't you learn from Kuan'er? He has no one to rely on in Lingnan, but he has led the people of Lingnan to a prosperous life. Which prince here can compare with him?

They are still fighting for power.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin was a little unhappy.

"By the way, how is Chengxin in the East Palace?"Li Shimin suddenly thought of a question. When he left Chang'an, he discovered the improper relationship between the prince and Chengxin.

Chengxin, as a eunuch, had seduced the prince's soul, which was absolutely not allowed by the royal family.

However, such things could not be made public, so he could only secretly let Empress Zhangsun remind Li Chengqian a few words to let him give up the idea that he shouldn't have.

"Chengxin has been in the East Palace these days, and only occasionally goes out to buy some rouge and powder!"Wang Fangyi could only answer evasively.

"Humph, stubborn and recalcitrant!"Li Shimin snorted coldly, his face turned cold.

It seems that Guanyinbi needs to remind him again about this matter. Do you really think that the royal family can support everything?

Li Shimin did not say anything more, but continued to read the memorials submitted by his subordinates.

The paper used for the memorials was yellow paper, which was stained with ink and looked a little blurry. It was really not as good as the rice paper invented by Li Kuan.

The blurred words looked very annoying.

"Do you have any news from Lingnan?"Li Shimin suddenly asked this question, which surprised Wang Fangyi, the leader of the Baekje Division.

Why did His Majesty care so much about Lingnan, a place outside the law?

Would he have to send some troops to Lingnan in the future? But for such a place outside the law, sending people to explore it would be a waste of resources. Their Baekje Division was to investigate the princes and ministers, and as for Lingnan......Haha, no need

"Lingnan, no recent....."Yes," but since His Majesty asked, he answered as usual, but he thought of one thing:"When you were on tour, the King of Chu sent you a letter and a gift!"

Wang Fangyi couldn't help but feel relieved, but he secretly muttered in his heart that the emperor asked about Lingnan, probably thinking of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. That's right

, Lingnan is a poor place. Although he didn't read the letter from the King of Chu, he knew that Lingnan was too miserable when he saw the gift in the package sent by the King of Chu.

"That brat also sent me a gift?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows:"Bring it here for me to see, and bring his letter too!"

Send a gift?

There are so many new and novel things in Lingnan, I wonder what Li Kuan will give him?

He is still looking forward to it.

Yes!

Wang Fangyi nodded and went out, and soon came in with a package and a letter in his hand.

When he saw the package, Li Shimin's face turned black instantly. There were wilted sugarcanes and a package wrapped in rags.

If people who have never been to Lingnan take a look, they will think that Lingnan is too bitter, even the sugarcane grows so miserably.

"That's all?"Li Shimin asked with a dark face.

"That's all!"Wang Fangyi handed the envelope to Li Shimin. Seeing Li Shimin's surprised look, he also wanted to say a few good words for the King of Chu in Lingnan:"Lingnan is poor and malaria is rampant. I think the King of Chu must have had a hard time in Lingnan!"

Li Shimin's face turned black. Lingnan is hard? If he hadn't been to Lingnan this time, he might have really believed it.

Li Shimin opened the envelope with a dark face, and the first sentence that came into his eyes was:"Father, Lingnan is hard!"

Wang Fangyi also nodded. As he said, Lingnan is really hard, and it has really embarrassed the King of Chu over the years.
