If you have not reached the ideological realm of "seeing mountains or mountains", most of the environments that ordinary people like are prosperous, and few like poor and deserted...? ?

The Tang Dynasty has a small population today. Except for Chang'an City, the only big city with a population of one million, the rest of the cities are small cities with a population of more than 100,000 or even tens of thousands, and the construction of the city is also very bad. For the princes who pursue their life by eating, drinking and having fun, no city in the Tang Dynasty is as good as Chang'an. Naturally, no one is willing to leave Chang'an and run to the place where birds do not lay eggs to be the governor.

Of course, the reason for not wanting to leave Chang'an is not just because of eating, drinking and having fun. For some princes, leaving Chang'an means staying away from the center of power. Any prince who has a slight ambition for the position of the Eastern Palace does not want to leave. Leaving means completely losing the opportunity to compete for the Eastern Palace. In this life, you can only be a Xiaoyao Prince who enjoys peace and eats and waits for death. During festivals, you have to be wary of whether a brother who is an emperor will give him a pot of poisoned wine to cheer up the festival...

The princes gathered in Tai Chi Palace, cried and made trouble, and they were so slanderous that they even wanted to vomit. However, Li Shimin seemed to have a firm heart and unmovedly drove these incompetent princes out of the palace and ordered them to leave Chang'an for a limited time to take up their post.

One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves.

The decision to drive out the prince shocked the Chang'an court and the people. This was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty that it drove the adult prince out of Chang'an City on such a large scale. Li Shimin's decision was unprecedented.

When Li Zhi heard the news, he was stunned.

For Li Zhi, who was determined to compete for the position of the Eastern Palace, this news was undoubtedly a disaster.

Sitting alone for a while after a while, Li Zhi suddenly jumped up, rushed to the outside of the palace gate and ran out of a pair of wooden clogs. Several eunuchs and guards behind him hurriedly followed behind him, and the group ran out of the palace gate and got on a horse, and hurried towards Taiping Village.

***************************************************************************

When I arrived at Li Su's doorstep, it was already noon.

The gangs at the door had already known Li Zhi and saluted him one after another. Li Zhi didn't care about the etiquette and even avoided the procedures for notification and ran into the door.

Li Su is cooking in the kitchen.

The chef at home has now fully learned the true teachings of Li Su. Li Su rarely cooks in person now, but today is an exception.

Remove the scales of a lively bass, cut open it, draw a regular lattice knife on both sides, apply salt and cover it with the mouth of a bowl, put it for an hour, take it out, put slices of ginger on the bottom of the plate, a small cup of strong wine, and finally put it in a steamer for half an hour.

When Li Zhi ran to the kitchen, a plate of freshly prepared steamed bass happened to be out of the cage, and the steaming smell was scattered with an attractive fragrance.

"Brother Zizheng, it's not good!" Li Zhi roared anxiously.

"Not bad! Are you running to my house to report the death in broad daylight?" Li Su didn't raise her head, staring at the perch in front of her. She looked carefully, looking at her a little unsatisfied, and always felt something was missing...

This is the second experiment, and the first steamed fish is even more unsuccessful.

Seeing Li Su's concentration, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little hurt.

After all, I am a legitimate prince, why is it even worse than a fish?

Taking a few deep breaths, Li Zhi tried hard to calm down and tried to calm himself down and calm him down. He could not let Li Su look down on him, thinking that he was panicked when encountering trouble and could not bear the heavy responsibility.

"Brother Zizheng...whether is making fish?" Li Zhi said nonsense.

Li Su was lazy, and this time he was too lazy to even say the response to a single syllable.

"This time it was steamed fish. I don't know how it tasted. The braised fish made by your chef last time is good, and Zhi still reminisces it..." Li Zhi licked his lips, feeling infinitely fascinated.

"Yeah." Li Su finally gave up his words, and a very perfunctory monosyllable appeared in his nostrils, but his eyes were still staring at the fish in front of him.

It seems...it's a flaw. I should have added some soy sauce and green onions to mix the color and taste, but I was worried that I would steal the umami flavor of the sea bass, which would be unreasonable. However, the steamed sea bass is much worse than the steamed sea bass I imagined. This immature semi-finished product is really not qualified to be served on the Li family's dining table.

"Do you like eating fish? Steamed fish." Li Su suddenly looked up and looked at Li Zhi expectantly.

"Ah?" Li Zhi was stunned.

Li Su was unhappy: "Why is this kid getting more and more stupid? What do you want to eat steamed fish?"

Li Zhi nodded in a stupid and cute way: "It's... OK."

Li Su handed the plate in her hand forward and smiled and said, "Come on, eat it, don't waste it..."

Li Zhi said reluctantly: "Is this... done for me?"

Li Su said seriously: "If I had known you would come, I would have prepared it two hours in advance and wait for you to enjoy it. Is Your Highness the King of Jin happy? Are you surprised or not?"

"……surprise."

Li Zhi was very good at eating fish. The first chopstick was to hit the tenderest fish belly. He gently pulled the tip of the chopstick, and took a piece of tender white fish meat without thorns into his mouth.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Li Su looked at him expectantly.

Li Zhi's expression was a little uncomfortable: "... Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"What's the good thing?"

"Of course it's a lie."

Li Su said without hesitation: "Then tell lies, hurry up, and use all your words to praise it."

Li Zhi: “…………”

Why... don't play by the rules? Are you tired of chatting with such people?

Li Zhi ate the chopsticks and refused to hold the second chopsticks. He put down the chopsticks and planned to talk about the serious matters.

Li Su looked at the fish on the plate with a belly-lost expression, and her expression was very entangled.

Nothing that is perfect is tolerated...

Stopped Li Zhi's words, Li Su pointed to the fish.

"You can't waste food in any big things. Food is a gift from God. Waste will be struck by lightning. I'm so close to you. To be honest, I'm a little worried, afraid that the thunder god in the sky will accidentally struck it wrong..."

Li Zhi was also very confused. He looked at the fish on the plate and sighed: "So, what should I do?"

"Two solutions, one is to eat it all, and the other is to spend money to eliminate disasters. I give it to me ten cents of money. You secretly throw away the fish, and I pretend that I didn't see it. You can choose any one."

Li Zhi said without hesitation: "I'll choose the second one."

"Give it a good time, give it money."

Li Zhi brought his entourage and gave the money very happily.

It feels good to kill the surrender. Knowing Li Zhi is the best thing in life. Li Su was very happy when she got the money. The more she saw Li Zhi, the more she liked Li Zhi, this child was a little stupid, and basically had advantages all over her body...

"Why did Brother Zizheng suddenly cook in person today?" Li Zhi always likes to ask various questions when he is with Li Su, although some questions are all nonsense.

Li Su sighed and said, "My wife has somehow been around these days. She has a very bad appetite. She doesn't like to eat anything she sees. Some things can't even smell. I have to cook myself, and I hope she can like it."

Li Zhi looked at him like a monster, and after a long time, he sighed: "It has always been a wife who serves her husband. Zhi has never heard of a man taking the initiative to cook for his wife. Brother Zizheng, you are such a special person..."

Li Su gave him a blank look: "Cooking a dish for your wife is called 'special'? Men in your era are really like living in a dream. In another thousand years, let alone men cook for their mothers, all their monthly income is honestly handed over to their wife, at most they can leave some pocket money for themselves. Occasionally, they go out with friends to have a small drink, and they rack their brains to think about how to pay the bill when they go home. If the wife is unhappy, the man has to kneel down and apologize. If his attitude is a little inappropriate, he will be kicked by his wife. From then on, he will part with him and be happy..."

Li Zhi was surprised and said, "How is it possible! A man who is so miserable in a thousand years? What's the point of living?"

Li Suyou said: "There are more wolves and less meat, and there are more men and fewer women. What should you do if you say men do? They are also very desperate... It is easy to live. If you want to live a good life, of course you must find a wife. It doesn't matter if you suffer some grievances and live a cowardly life."

Li Zhi still shook his head in disbelief: "I would rather die."

Li Su looked at him squintly.

Men, from eight to eighty, they are stubborn. Don’t look at the guy in front of them as a real man with a look of iron-blooded man, if the trajectory of history has not changed, within ten years, he will know how cowardly he has become in front of Wu Zetian. He is so cowardly that he is angry and resentful.

Li Su said contemptuously: "Okay, let's talk about serious matters, don't just talk... Go back to your hurry to report your demise just now, what's wrong with you?"

The topic was too far apart, and Li Zhi didn't come back to his senses for a while. He was stunned for a while and suddenly slapped his legs hard, and he really returned to his previous look of reproaching his depressed look.

"Brother Zizheng, it's not good! My father wants to drive me out of Chang'an City and go to Bingzhou to be the governor..." Li Zhi said furiously.

Li Suyi was dazed.

Before the news of his birth in the morning reached Taiping Village, Li Su was caught off guard by the news.

"What's going on? Tell me carefully! For no reason, why did your father drive you to Bingzhou? Are you in trouble?" Li Su said in a deep voice.

Li Zhi shook his head with a sad face: "No, it's a censor named Feng Du in the court. I don't know what crazy he is. Suddenly, he wrote a memorial saying that his father's adult prince should fulfill his responsibilities as a son and guard the world for his father. Any adult must leave the capital and take office. When he was granted the title of the kings, he would actually be given any official position. For example, I was named the governor of Bingzhou in the tenth year of Zhenguan, and I must leave Chang'an City immediately to take office in Bingzhou..."

Li Su's face became more and more serious: "Who is the person named Feng Du? Who is behind him?"

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "How can I know? Maybe he wrote a memorial because he thought it was inappropriate. Wasn't Mr. Wei Zheng the same?"

Li Su sneered: "If there is no one behind him, I will cut off my head and kick it for you as a ball... Think about it, now is the critical moment of fighting for the crown prince. The contradictions hidden in the dark are about to emerge, just waiting for a suitable opportunity. At this time, someone suddenly wrote a memorial saying that he would drive all the adult princes out of Beijing. Do you think that the man named Feng Du has the courage to do this? If you have to prove it, I will only ask you one question... Wei Wang Taike is on the list of princes leaving Beijing this time?"

Li Zhi was shocked and then sighed dejectedly: "Brother King Wei is a healthier official, but he is the only exception..."

Li Su laughed and said, "All adult princes leave Beijing, and only the King of Wei stays in Chang'an. With the ability of the King of Wei, he naturally frequently goes out to the palace and asks your father for instructions early and report to him later. He acts as a filial son and is obedient, and looks innocent and honest to win the favor of your father. Looking at the entire Chang'an, no prince competes for favor with him. In the end, he must be the position of the Eastern Palace, and there is no suspense."

Li Zhi was anxious when he heard this.

It would have been fine if he had no ambition to be the prince at the beginning. It would have nothing to do with him who was the prince. Anyway, he was just a free-spirited prince who was waiting to die.

But later after Li Su analyzed the situation carefully with him, Li Zhi was shocked to realize that he had to fight for the position of crown prince, because if he didn't fight, he would die.

No matter who becomes the crown prince and succeeds the emperor in the future, the first person to be killed is Li Zhi. There is no other reason, there is only one most deadly reason, because Li Zhi is the legitimate son, and the identity of the legitimate son means that he is qualified to succeed the throne and is a potential threat to the emperor's throne. In order to eliminate future troubles forever, Li Zhi must die.

Either the emperor or the dead end. For Li Zhi, this is a very cruel and simple multiple-choice question.

Li Zhi decisively chose to fight for the position of prince. The reason was that his ambition was a part of it, and he also occupied part of it in order to save his life and survive. He had to fight for the position of prince, and he had to win, and losing meant death.

If the decree issued by Li Shimin today is a bit serious, it can be said that it has pushed Li Zhi to a dead end.

Leaving Chang'an and leaving Li Shimin's side, how could he have a chance of winning against the prince?

Li Su's heart also sank.

Now his relationship with Li Zhi is not just a friend, but his interests are also closely tied together. Once both of them are damaged, Li Zhi cannot fight for the prince. If Li Tai is replaced, Li Su's fate will not be much better, and his way of dying is different.

"Tell me carefully, what did the ministers in the court react after the man named Feng Du submitted a memorial?" Li Su said in a deep voice.

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "First Feng Du wrote a memorial alone. His father did not take it seriously at first. Feng Du's memorial was kept. The next day, three censors attached to Feng Du, and at the same time submitted memorials, asking his father to send all adult princes to his post. The father still ignored it. In the end, for some reason, more than half of the censors in the court wrote memorials, all of which were discussed with Feng Du. The father took it seriously. After discussing with his uncle, Fang Xiang and other important officials, he made this decision..."

"What is your uncle's attitude towards this matter?" Li Su's eyes flashed.
