On the ship back to Chang'an.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji sat opposite each other.

Changsun Wuji thought for a long time and then said: "I think the destruction of the Gan'er cloth this time was probably not done by people from Liangzhou."

"oh?"

"How can I see it?"

Li Shimin turned to look at Changsun Wuji.

"Maybe, it's just a feeling."

Changsun Wuji pursed his lips and said, "Qian'er has always had an excellent reputation in Liangzhou."

"Although I ruined the jobs of many people when I came here, I gained even more supporters."

"And those whose jobs have been lost, Qianer did not leave any way for them to survive."

"From this point of view, they simply don't have the ability to do such a thing."

"so……"

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and said: "This time his crisis can only come from somewhere else..."

"For example?"

Li Shimin asked.

Changsun Wuji raised his head and said slowly: "Chang'an..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin glanced at him: "Be more specific."

Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment, then said: "Imperial Court."

"Um……"

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said: "This is also the rare truth from your Changsun Wuji. It seems that you have also been changed a lot by that boy."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment.

Have you changed yourself?

Only then did he suddenly wake up.

In my early days, I never talked about the king's faults, let alone the affairs within the royal family.

But now, because he cares so much about Li Chengqian, he has begun to tell Li Shimin about these things that he had previously regarded as taboo.

For a moment, Changsun Wuji also became nervous.

He hurriedly wanted to kneel down, but before he could, he knelt down.

Li Shimin supported him.

He chuckled and said: "What are you doing? What is the relationship between you and me? Do you still need me to emphasize it?"

"But……"

"Nothing to worry about."

Li Shimin raised his head slightly and said: "I have wanted you to talk to me about these things for a long time, but you just didn't want to

willing."

"Okay now, you took the initiative to talk to me."

"This is what I want in my heart, you don't need to worry too much."

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Let me ask you again, tell me, who is going against Gan'er this time?"

"this……"

Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly and said, "I really can't guess this."

"Look, you've become like this again."

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, and said: "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I know very well that this time it is most likely my third son."

"Although he never said anything, he has actually been dissatisfied with his elder brother for a long time."

"Of course, rather than saying that he is dissatisfied with his elder brother, it is better to say that he is dissatisfied with me."

While speaking, Li Shimin turned his head and looked out the window.

Looking at the rolling water, Li Shimin said quietly: "Why don't these guys know their last names and why they should work hard..."

They all have the surname Li. Who is the emperor?

We are all one family, why do we have to fight over each other? Is it interesting?

Li Shimin once thought of working hard for his family and serving the Tang Dynasty with his life.

But those people wanted to kill him and let him die.

In the end, he had no choice but to embark on this path.

Could it be that his son would also follow in his footsteps?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Rather than letting son and son kill each other, it is better to do it yourself.

In this way, the infamy will be all his own, while his son will be able to leave a better reputation.

And seeing Li Shimin's expression.

Changsun Wuji was also shocked.

He quickly said: "Your Majesty, you must not have such thoughts..."

"oh?"

"Do you know what I'm thinking about?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Changsun Wuji.

"This...this is natural."

Changsun Wuji lowered his head and said, "After all, I have been following your Majesty for almost twenty years."

"hehe."

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled.

He said: "Then do you think I should bear this infamy, or should they?"

"Looking at it now, it's best to let them go."

"At the very least, we can let Qian'er exercise his mind."

Changsun Wuji said: "If not, how could he become a weapon?"

What he said makes sense...

How could an emperor achieve hegemony without ruthless means and scheming at all costs?

Li Shimin nodded: "Okay, let them go. I also want to live a peaceful life in a few years."

…

Inside Liangzhou City.

Under the moonlight.

Li Chengqian sat alone in the courtyard of the government office, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

He likes to be alone.

I prefer to pour myself a glass of wine in the dark and think about something quietly.

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from behind him.

Li Chengqian looked back and saw that it was Wuyou.

He smiled slightly and said softly: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I……"

Wuyou looked at the sky and said, "I can't sleep."

"Come and sit."

Wuyou was obedient and walked directly to sit next to Li Chengqian.

The two of them just sat like that, neither of them spoke first.

After a long time, Wuyou still said: "Looking at you, it seems that something is bothering you?"

"Troubles are only human's fault."

"Isn't this the trouble of growing up?"

Li Chengqian pursed his lips, grabbed the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "Speaking of which, I really don't want to grow up."
