Chapter 603 The provocation of the eldest grandson Wuji
"Sanchao..."
Amid Yang Qu's scattered sound, the officials left the Tai Chi Hall silently, and Li Zhi followed the officials and was ready to leave. However, just as Li Zhi was about to leave, Changsun Wuji on the side pulled Li Zhi.
Li Zhi understood it and followed Changsun Wuji. The two of them came to the place where Changsun Wuji rested.
This is not a big small room, with a coal stove burning honeycomb coal. There is also a iron kettle on the coal stove, which burns hot water.
This is a new money-making thing from Li You Dunhuafang. In ancient times, it was necessary to keep warm in winter. I wonder if you have read Bai Juyi's charcoal seller.
In ancient winter, heating was charcoal. Blocks of coal were placed in charcoal basins and burned to keep heating. Such charcoal was expensive and ordinary poor people could not afford it.
The poor can only chop wood to keep warm, but how can the temperature of the firewood be as good as burning charcoal?
At this time, Li You saw the business opportunities inside. Because dignitaries and nobles all want large charcoals, the crushed charcoal will be processed cheaply, but the cheapest treatment of these crushed charcoals is higher than that of firewood, so ordinary people don’t want it because buying crushed charcoals is better than using firewood.
This puts the price of crushed charcoal in an embarrassing position. After seeing this, Li You directly contracted the crushed charcoal with major families. Then Li You made a coal furnace and honeycomb coal, and directly processed the crushed charcoal into honeycomb coal.
Then he pushed out the coal stove and sold it all at once. He almost directly had one of the honeycomb coal and coal stoves in Chang'an, which made Li You make another big profit.
"Do you want to eat potatoes?"
Changsun Wuji smiled and picked up a potato on the coal stove and asked Li Zhi if he wanted to eat it. Li Zhi smiled and took it and asked, "Uncle... has the father decided to promote potatoes nationwide?"
Changsun Wuji nodded: "Of course, how can you not promote the good crop with ten stones per mu? And this is the best political achievement for you."
Just a while ago, the potatoes planted by Li Shimin went to the site to excavate, and the yield per mu also shocked Li Shimin. Such yield per mu really shocked everyone present. However, Changsun Wuji once again made an advertisement for Li Zhi, saying that these were all taught by the immortals in his dream of Li Zhi. Li Zhi was the person designated by the immortals to possess the imperial spirit, so it was to make Li Zhi the crown prince to follow the destiny.
After saying this, of course, Li Zhi became more legitimate after being affirmed by everyone present. Potatoes yield ten stones per mu is really a good thing that benefits the country and the people, so Li Zhi's identity as a crown prince was also supported by the people.
But Li Zhi felt a little sorry for his fifth brother. After all, Tudou was obviously his fifth brother's thing, and everything should be his fifth brother's credit.
So when Li Zhi heard his uncle's words, he felt a little uncomfortable, because Li Zhi and Li You were very close, Li Zhi always respected Li You, and Li Zhi also knew that Li You had always loved him, and his fifth brother gave him the potatoes. Although Li Zhi wanted them, Li Zhi couldn't bear it very much. After all, this was his brother's thing. His younger brother was loved by his brother and gave him such a good thing.
Whose brother would always hold the glory that originally belonged to his brother? This made Li Zhi instinctively resist when he heard others push the credit of Tudou away.
"Uncle, it's okay if outsiders say it, because they don't know, but you should know that this potato is my fifth brother's thing, not mine..." Li Zhi frowned slightly.
But just as Li Zhi frowned, Changsun Wuji, who was standing on the side, immediately corrected: "Zhinu, don't think so. In fact, giving you potatoes is also the foundation of your fifth brother. Because he wants to use you to get rid of Li Tai's minions, he doesn't really want to give them to you, you have paid the price. Potatoes are yours, and there is no need for any doubt."
"Uncle...what are you saying... Fifth brother is really helping me, you don't know... I don't want to explain to you that Fifth brother is more close to me than his brothers during this period. He will not use me. Everything he does is helping me... And besides me, Fifth brother is also sincere to Sitzi. He is my good brother and I forever...!" Li Zhi still has a deep dependence on Li You, and his feelings for Li You are also very pure. After all, Li You has indeed paid a lot to Li Zhi.
After hearing Li You's words, Changsun Wuji frowned slightly, then turned his eyes and said, "Zhinu... Actually, what I want to tell you is that the Tian family has no family affection. Look at your fourth brother's way of doing to your elder brother, and your fourth brother's way of doing to you.
You and your fourth brother are brothers. Li You are indeed very good to you, but that is because you have value in use. If you lose value in use, then you will be nothing in him."
"No...!" Li Zhi suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Fifth brother won't treat me like this. Fifth brother must be sincere to me and Aizi, absolutely sincere to me!"
"Okay...!" Looking at Li Zhi who was a little disobedient... Changsun Wuji said, "So, since you say your fifth brother is sincere to you, then you ask him for soldiers from the Tiger Guard, don't have too many soldiers and just need a company.
Because you have settled in the East Palace now, but the people in the East Palace are not yours, so you need to always belong to your team. If your fifth brother is your biological brother, then he will definitely be willing...!"
"Hu Ben Guard..." Li Zhi hesitated a little, because Hu Ben Guard was Li You's strongest sword, so he directly asked his fifth brother to give him the sword in his hand. Although it was just a company,... this was also a very unreasonable request.
Looking at Li Zhi's hesitation, Changsun Wuji on the side said slightly: "Why, I don't dare anymore, you should also know your place in Li You's heart... Remember Zhinu, don't believe or rely on Li You.
He and you are destined to be just a relationship that can be used by each other. The only person you can trust is me, because I am your uncle and your mother's brother, and we are the closest people."
Looking at Changsun Wuji's sincere appearance, Li Zhi thought about it, but then shook his head and said, "No...Uncle, you are my closest person, but my fifth brother is also my closest person."
"Okay..." Changsun Wuji looked at Li Zhi and said, "Since you said Li You are your closest person, then you should go and ask him for a company from the Hu Benwei. As long as he gives it to you, I will admit that he regards you as his own brother."
Changsun Wuji was sincere to Li Zhi at the beginning. The main reason for choosing Li Zhi was to protect himself, because he knew that as long as Li Tai became the crown prince or emperor, he would definitely not take him to play.
Moreover, Changsun Wuji still has a high desire for power.
When Li Shimin died, he left behind three ministers of the regent, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and Li Ji... But at this time, Changsun Wuji had a transcendent status, only an important official in the court, and the emperor's uncle. With the blessing of many halos, Changsun Wuji's prestige gradually grew.
In a world of high power, Changsun Wuji was slowly corrupted by power, and his heart became increasingly unscrupulous, throwing Li Shimin's instructions behind him.
By the fourth year of Yonghui, Changsun Wuji's power reached its peak. Changsun Wuji actively made friends with private parties, and six of the "prime ministers" in the court had contacts with him, and his personal relationships were very close, but Li Ji was not involved in the relationship.
Li Ji was actually one of the three auxiliary ministers appointed by Emperor Taizong of Tang. However, in the first year of Yonghui, Changsun Wuji was too powerful. Li Ji had to endure temporarily and chose to retire and protect himself. He resigned from the position of Zuo Pushe of Shangshu, but he also had the title of "Three-rank under the Secretariat of the Secretariat".
Also, you can see from Changsun Wuji's handling of the "Fang Yiai Case", which shows that Changsun Wuji is too cruel.
After Li Zhi became the crown prince, Changsun Wuji, who had always regarded Li You as an alliance, immediately felt Li You's difficulties. Li Zhi seemed to rely more on Li You than him, and Li You's power was getting bigger and bigger, which was something Changsun Wuji didn't want to see, so Changsun Wuji wanted to provoke the relationship between Li You and Li Zhi.
Today is the beginning. After Li Zhi walked out of Changsun Wuji's small class room, he felt a little nervous. Although he believed in Li You, he also knew Changsun Wuji's attitude towards him.
And the Hu Ben Guard is Li You's trump card. Will he really give himself a company? To be honest, Li Zhi has no clue.
He was very scared, afraid that Li You would not give it to him. In this case, does it mean that Li You really just used him? If Li You really just used him, then to be honest, he would be crazy. This would be the biggest blow after he lost his mother.
I don’t know how Li Zhi returned to Dunhuafang, but what surprised Li Zhi was that just after he returned to Dunhuafang, Li Mingda ran over and said that Li You were looking for him and asked him to go there as soon as possible.
When Li Zhi heard that it was Li You who was looking for him, he hurried to see Li You because he could not spend too much time in Dunhuafang. Now Li Zhi was the main place to stay in the East Palace. Li Shimin had to summon Li Zhi at any time and take Li Zhi to handle some government affairs. So Li Zhi is not able to stay in Dunhuafang for a long time like before. To be honest, Li Zhi still envies Li Mingda because of this.
You should know that Yizi is really beautiful. She can stay in Dunhuafang forever and beside Li You.
About a cup of tea, Li Zhi came to Li You's study. At this time, Li You was fiddling with something. Seeing Li Zhi coming in, Li You smiled and took out a big box from behind and said, "The things you gave to you... You are now the prince, and you should need some men's things."
