It was past midnight.
The ink-like night sky was filled with stars.
The entire Chang 'an Fortress was shrouded in darkness.
It was like a ferocious beast that was choosing people to eat.
In the Imperial Palace, in the Hall of Political Affairs.
The place was still brightly lit.
Princess Changle had long been unable to suppress her tiredness and had returned to the palace to sleep.
Empress Zhangsun had also finished talking about the few ways of governing the country that Han Xiu had mentioned.
However, Li Shi Min was the only one.
She was still reading the dozen pages of paper that he had written on happily.
"Wonderful!"
"Wonderful, truly wonderful!"
"I didn't expect this expert to come up with such a plan to govern the country!”
"If we follow these methods, the worries of the Great Tang can be resolved!”
"I also affirm that in less than five years, the Great Tang will be prosperous and the people will be at peace. The barbarians on the border will flee at the sight of the wind!”
"No, not only will they run away at the sight of the wind, I will destroy them, destroy that old thief Jie Li!”
Li Shi Min gritted his teeth, but at the same time, he was extremely excited.
Empress Zhangsun met him.
He only smiled and did not say anything. He walked over from the side with a bowl of ginseng tea.
"Second brother, even if these are useful for governing the country, second brother should rest early!”
"Didn't you say that an envoy from Tuli came these two days? Second Brother should drink the ginseng tea and rest early!”Empress Zhangsun said with a smile.
Hearing this.
Li Shi Min's excited face gradually froze.
"En, that's right, it was indeed Tuli who sent an envoy over and asked zhen to help him attack that old thief Jie Li!”
"However, zhen once personally went to find that fortune-teller!”
"He said that the northern desert is now covered in snow and wind. If the soldiers of the Great Tang go there, they won't be able to adapt!”
"Zhen is waiting, waiting for news from Mobei to come back. Counting now, it has been seven or eight days. Presumably, he should be back in one or two days!”
Li Shi Min said with a frown.
Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun nodded and did not say anything more.
Even though it was the Great Tang, especially during the Zhenguan period.
There were no written regulations that said that the harem had no choice but to interfere in politics.
However, Empress Zhangsun was a knowledgeable person.
She knew very well that there were some things she should say and some things she shouldn't.
Take the current situation for example. As the emperor and the ruler of a country, Li Shiming naturally had his own plans.
As his wife, as the Empress.
As long as she was responsible for serving Li Shiming, that would be enough.
As for the rest…it was better not to say it in case it annoyed Li Shiming.
At this moment, Second Emperor Li picked up his bowl and finished the ginseng soup in one gulp.
Wiping her mouth, she turned around and said,"Right, Guanyin maid, what is the name of this expert you met? He actually has such a complete way of governing the country. If I can invite him to the court, he can become my arm!”
Hearing this.
Empress Zhangsun smiled gently and turned around to place the bowl on the servant girl's tray.
He turned around and wiped Li Shimin's mouth with a handkerchief.
"Second Brother also knows this person!"
"Oh? I know him too?"
"Yes, not only do I know him, but Second Brother has also mentioned him to me many times. It is precisely because of this that I came out of the palace to meet him!”Empress Zhangsun said with a smile.
In the end, just as he said that.
Li Shi Min's expression immediately became extremely surprised.
She turned around and looked at Empress Zhangsun.
"Guanyin maid, you're saying…this expert is the fortune teller on the street…Han Xiu?”
"Hehe, that's right, it's this person!”Empress Zhangsun nodded.
"Hiss!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Based on my understanding of him, it seems that only he can say such words!”
"What a good fortune teller, Han Xiu!”
"I didn't expect him to have such a foundation at such a young age!”
"It seems that there are also mighty people hiding in the marketplace of Chang 'an!”
Li Shi Min said excitedly.
Empress Zhangsun nodded as well.
"Before this, I only heard Second Brother and Lizhi talk about this person!”
"Over time, I became interested in him!”
"I didn't expect that just meeting him would make me so shocked!”
"He's indeed a talented person!”Empress Zhangsun said.
Li Shi Min heard this.
The expression on his face became complicated.
"Second brother, why didn't you recruit such a person into the imperial court?”
"This way, Second Brother doesn't have to hide his identity every time he sees him. Isn't that better?”When Empress Zhangsun saw this, she quickly added.
Who could understand Li Shi Min's thoughts?
There was probably no one else other than Empress Zhangsun.
Empress Zhangsun had been with Li Shimin since she was thirteen.
The two of them had already experienced more than ten years of ups and downs.
Before this, Empress Zhangsun had helped Li Shimin a lot in secret.
Therefore, the only one who understood Li Shimin's heart the most was Empress Zhangsun.
Hearing her words.
Li Shi Min was slightly startled.
Then, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"How could I not want to recruit Han Xiu into the court? It's just that…I have my concerns!" Li Shi Min said.
Empress Zhangsun smiled.
"Second Brother, are you afraid that once your identity is revealed, Han Xiu will hide something and stop talking to you?”Empress Zhangsun said.
"Yes, the only one who knows me is the Guanyin maid!”
"That's right, this child is indeed talented. However, I'm also afraid that once his identity is revealed, he will be like the other ministers!”
"Instead of becoming a profiteer and learning those ways of flattery, I might as well keep hiding it!”
"Let's wait and see. If this Han Xiu is really a useful talent, I will recruit him even if I have to spend my entire life!”
"But if…"
Before he could finish, Li Shimin stopped.
Empress Zhangsun smiled gently.
"Then how long does Second Brother want to observe?”
"How long do you want to observe?"
Li Shi Min's gaze gradually became deeper as he looked at the night sky outside the window.
"When the time is right!"
The fourth chapter is up, there are two more chapters later!
