Changsun Wuji looked at him and found that Li Yan was standing next to the palace gate and looked at him with a smile. This surprised Changsun Wuji. The relationship between the two was not very harmonious, and they even had no good feelings for each other in terms of position and personality. Now when he was hit, Li Yan actually took the initiative to ask to talk to him. Is he trying to laugh at him? However, Changsun Wuji believed that Li Yan would not be so bored.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji also smiled at Li Yan, and walked towards Li Yan and said, "I am naturally flattered by His Highness the King of Qi to invite him. I heard that His Highness has been with King Jiang and His Highness the King of Yue these days. Why are you free to come to find me today?"

Seeing Changsun Wuji walking towards him, Li Yan smiled and said, "The Seventh Brother and the Eighth Brother are going to find the Ninth Brother. They are rich in cotton in India and can't eat them at all, so they come to discuss with the Ninth Brother and prepare to export cotton to the Tang Dynasty on a large scale."

When Changsun Wuji heard Li Yan's seemingly casual words, he was shocked. Li Zhen and Li Yun actually wanted to export cotton to the Tang Dynasty. This was simply a fight for jobs with their Changsun family. However, this was not the most important thing. What was important was that Li Zhen and Li Yun had already begun to take action to help Li Zhi start reforming the Tang Dynasty court.

Although Changsun Wuji was shocked, he was in power for many years and was very cunning. Therefore, he quickly regained his calmness and walked to Li Yan and smiled: "Tianzhu is the birthplace of cotton. If cotton can be imported from there, it would be a win-win situation for the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu. However, the King of Qi came to find me. Isn't it just to talk about cotton with me?"

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was a little impatient, he wanted to go straight to the point as soon as he came up. However, Li Yan couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It seemed that the other party was not as calm as he seemed.

I saw Li Yan doing a 'invitation' handicraft to Changsun Wuji. He signaled him and himself to walk along the city wall at the palace gate, and then he said, "Do you and I remember when I first went to Taiwan, you and I went to Dongshi, and in the private room of Linxian Teahouse, I once said something to you?"

When Li Yan mentioned that, Changsun Wuji's expression changed, and he looked at Li Yan deeply. When Li Chengqian and Li Tai competed for the throne, Changsun Wuji was not optimistic about them. In addition, Li Yan, who was most likely to inherit the throne, announced that he had given up the throne of the Tang Dynasty and chose to develop overseas. So this gave him hope and took the initiative to find Li Yan, hoping that he would support Li Zhi to ascend the throne with him. Li Yan also agreed that Li Zhi was able to ascend the throne later, which was indeed inseparable from the joint efforts of the two of them.

In addition, at the moment the two reached an agreement, Li Yan warned him. He also remembered every word of the warning: I allow you to be Zhuge Kongming, but don’t have the intention to be Sima Yi, otherwise I will let your Changsun family disappear completely from the Tang Dynasty!

Changsun Wuji did not care about Li Yan's warning at first. But later, when Li Yan's overseas power was like a snowball and finally grew into a giant that could compete with the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wuji became more and more concerned about Li Yan. Therefore, Changsun Wuji naturally did not dare to forget his original warning for a moment. But now Li Yan mentioned this matter again. What was his intention?

"Your Highness has something to say, there is no need to go around with me!" Changsun Wuji was even more impatient. He was guessing in his heart what was Li Yan's real intention to come to find him?

"Haha, Lord Changsun, don't be nervous. Actually, I really have nothing to do today. I just want to talk to Lord Changsun. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Did Lord Changsun have nothing to say to me?" Li Yan laughed twice. When he saw the scruple expression on Changsun Wuji's face, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. Unexpectedly, his words made Changsun Wuji remember them for more than ten years. It seemed that he was still very worthy in the other party's heart.

How smart is Changsun Wuji? Feeling the pride in Li Yan's tone, I was also very angry and couldn't help but snort coldly: "I didn't expect that Your Highness King Qi is really here to see me for being a joke, so I'll forgive me for not being able to accompany you!"

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he turned around and left with a swing of his sleeve. However, Li Yan grabbed his sleeve and said solemnly: "Sir Changsun, stay. I'm here today to save the lives of your Changsun family!"

Hearing Li Yan's last sentence, Changsun Wuji's steps immediately stopped, and then stared at Li Yan with sharp eyes. The expression on his face was neither sad nor happy, making people unable to guess what he was thinking?

After a while, Changsun Wuji suddenly spoke, "Why can't I understand your highness? What's the worry about my Changsun family?"

Li Yan laughed again and said, "Why do you have to ask me knowingly? With your cleverness, you must be very clear. If Changsun continues like this, then one day, the Ninth Brother will no longer care about family affection and will eliminate all the obstacles blocking the road ahead of him. At that time, I am afraid that the company chief will also cause death disaster!"

"Hmph, although my Changsun family did something wrong, it was just a small matter. I have always asked myself that I am loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Although I am a little different from His Royal Highness in political views, as for what kind of death is, I am afraid that Your Highness, you are exaggerating!" Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Yan indifferently and said.

Changsun Wuji did not believe Li Yan's words at all. Although Li Zhi asked Xu Jingzong to attack him today, in his opinion, no matter how powerful the dispute in the court was, he was Li Zhi's uncle after all. In addition, the reason why Li Zhi was able to take the position of crown prince was that he had made great efforts. Even if Li Zhi could win in the court in the end, whether it was Yu Gong or Yu private considerations, he would be idle at most and would not be in danger of his life.

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Yan smiled undisputedly, then looked up at Changsun Wuji's eyes, and said calmly: "It seems that Lord Changsun has not seen the current situation clearly. The Ninth Brother needs to carry out a huge change in the Tang Dynasty to make the Tang Dynasty more adapted to the development of society. In this change, it will touch the interests of countless people, and will have a huge impact on the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and society will be turbulent."

When Li Yan said this, his face suddenly changed and his tone became a little gloomy: "In this world, it is inevitable to shed blood. As one of the biggest obstacles to this change, do you really think the Ninth Brotherhood will show mercy?"

Changsun Wuji's body shook slightly for the last sentence of Li Yan, and his face became even more ugly. He had to admit that his previous thoughts were really naive, and his impression of Li Zhi was still on the cowardly little boy more than ten years ago. Now, after more than ten years of training, especially influenced by Li Yan, Li Zhi has obviously already had a bit of the emperor's aura. When he truly ascended the throne, he may become an emperor who is no worse than his father.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh. The reason why he chose Li Zhi among the princes was because he was the legitimate son and his own nephew, and the second was that Li Zhi was cowardly and had no opinion. But he forgot one thing, that is, people will change, especially Li Zhi was only ten years old at that time. More than ten years have passed, and Li Zhi, who has become a father, is no longer the cowardly child back then.

When Li Yan saw Changsun Wuji silent, he knew that the other party had listened to his words, he immediately struck the railway while the heat: "My third brother, seventh brother, and eighth brother, are the sons of the father, just like the ninth brother, are almost inseparable from the support of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that the Tang Dynasty is our root. No matter what the price it pays, we all hope to see the Tang Dynasty get better and better. Therefore, as long as the ninth brother is willing to implement reforms, we will do our best to support it. With us, how many of us do you think you have the chance to win?"

At this time, Changsun Wuji finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore, staring at Li Yan aggressively, and his expressions on his face changed. Anger, fear, helplessness and other expressions were intertwined, which made people see that a fierce battle was going on in Changsun Wuji's heart at a glance. The power of Li Yan and his others united, and the diehards he represented could not be their opponents at all, and Li Zhi's reforms would be implemented. If he forcibly blocked at that time, it is very likely that the whole family would be questioned as Li Yan said.

After a while, Changsun Wuji calmed down his mood a little and said with some difficulty: "Why does Your Highness, King Qi, tell me this?"

Looking at Changsun Wuji's eyes, a calm smile appeared on the corner of Li Yan's mouth and said, "Why did Lord Changsun forget? I have said just now that I came to save the life of your Changsun family?"

"If Your Highness is really so kind, wouldn't the overseas natives not die at the hands of the Daqi army?" Changsun Wuji said with a sarcastic look on his face. He didn't believe that Li Yan would be so kind.

However, after hearing this, Li Yan was not angry at all. Instead, he joked with a smile: "If Lord Changsun thinks that he has the same status as those overseas natives, then I have nothing to say, but I can tell you that the reason why I helped you like this is actually someone entrusted. If you don't want to accept this kindness, then I have no choice."

When Changsun Wuji heard that Li Yan was entrusted by someone, he was also stunned, but then he showed a sudden look on his face and immediately spoke: "Did Your Majesty or the Queen ask you to take care of our Changsun?"

Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin were not only monarchs and ministers, but also friends in times of distress. The two had a strong friendship, while Empress Changsun was his own sister. Therefore, when he heard that Li Yan was entrusted, he immediately thought of them.
