But what made Li Shimin very puzzled was what means Yang Shufei could impress Li Yuan and make the Emperor Taishang, who was closed to guests, come out in person to pardon Yuan Ziyan?
Li Shimin couldn't figure it out, so he immediately sent someone to call Yang Shufei, and he wanted to ask him carefully. And Yuan Ziyan and Li Shimin were carried into his bedroom.
"Concubine Shu, what kind of means did you use to impress the Emperor Taishang and make him intercede for you?" Li Shimin straightened his face and his voice was cold.
"Qi, Your Majesty, the Taishang Imperial Mansion is kind-hearted......"
"Shut up!" Li Shimin was furious: "Do you also want to cure you for the crime of bullying the king?" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare!" Concubine Yang Shu hesitated for a moment, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty, but I ask to let Gao'er go, and the concubine will die without regrets!" ”
"Don't mention this again, I said it a long time ago, I have my own measure!" Li Shimin was very impatient and urged: "Hurry up and tell the truth!" ”
"Yes!"
Yang Shufei looked depressed, and intermittently told a truth that shocked and angered Li Shimin. It turned out that when Yang Guang moved the capital in the past, all the gold treasures of the treasury were transported to Luoyang, but in fact, more than half of them remained in Chang'an, hidden under an abandoned palace in the southeast corner.
I don't know if there is an ominous premonition, Yang Guang told his daughter Yang Zhao this secret before going south, and at the same time asked her to swear to heaven that she would not tell anyone, including her future husband.
At that time, Yang Zhao didn't think so, so he swore a poisonous oath, if it was leaked, he would not die well, and Yang Guang was relieved. At the same time, he said earnestly. The gold was used for emergency purposes, and the Great Sui was crumbling, and it was indispensable to recruit troops to fight. Fighting is an economic battle, and it is possible to win only if you have wealth at hand.
After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Concubine Yang Shufei put this secret in her heart, and even she herself was about to forget, but she didn't want her brother to still be in the world, so she was excited and a little impulsive. didn't dare to tell Li Shimin in person, so he came to save the country and directly asked to see Li Yuan.
Of course, Li Yuan would not intercede for Yuan Ziyan. But when it comes to these staggering amounts of treasures, I agreed without hesitation. These are almost the current financial revenues of Datang for nearly ten years, and with these foundations, there will be many detours. So that's what happened just now.
Li Shimin, who learned of this, was half happy and half worried. The joy is that the father is dedicated to himself, and he can get so much wealth without much effort. The worry is that the hidden dangers of the previous dynasty are everywhere, if Yang Shufei can keep a few more eyes and hide these treasures, she will be able to secretly fund her son to do earth-shattering things in the future.
Worried more than happy, Li Shimin asked unhappily: "Do you have anything else to hide from me?" ”
"No, absolutely not!" Yang Shufei was so frightened that her delicate body trembled. His face was pale, and he almost fainted. Li Shimin couldn't bear to look at Yu Xin, but she also made a great contribution to Datang, so he casually comforted her and asked Yang Shufei to go back to rest.
Li Yuan closed the door and didn't see the guests, and Li Shimin couldn't communicate with him what he thought in his heart, so he walked back with his hands behind his back and pondering.
Some things are getting more and more strange, and even he seems to have noticed that Concubine Yang Shu can name her deceased prince, which is incomprehensible. In addition, Yang Guang had two sons and several grandsons at that time, why did he tell Yang Zhao about this alone?
It is not surprising that his daughter is favored, Li Shimin is also very fond of his daughter, but he definitely does not put their interests above the prince. And Yang Zhao looked weak, and her voice was so loud that she almost scared her, what did Yang Guang think?
I can't tell others if I have questions, I have so many treasures inexplicably, although Yang Shufei has made a meritorious contribution to the treasure, but when she encounters a more serious minister like the eldest grandson Wuji, she will still sue her for the crime of concealing and not reporting it, and Yuan Ziyan, who has always been in the same boat with her, is in a coma at this time, and there is a big quarrel when she wakes up.
After thinking about it, Li Shimin finally sent someone to call Li Chunfeng, and at the same time took everyone in the house away.
Li Chunfeng realized the seriousness of the situation and asked, "Your Majesty, but something important has happened?" ”
"Still ask!" Li Shimin's face was full of displeasure: "Your senior sister is on death row, but she didn't see you persuade her, let alone visit, it's really in vain that she loves you." ”
Hehe, Li Chunfeng smiled disappreciatively and said: "My senior sister Hongfu Qitian, her life is very hard, and she is favored by His Majesty, how can she die easily?" But I look at Your Majesty, with color between his eyebrows, and he should come to the door of a happy event. ”
"Hey, it's a happy event and an annoyance." Li Shimin then told Li Chunfeng everything about the matter, although Li Chunfeng served in the Taishi Bureau, his temperament was indifferent, he never said much, and won Li Shimin's trust.
"Your Majesty, are you suspicious that Concubine Yang Shufei still has something to hide?" Li Chunfeng thought for a while and said, "If she refuses to say, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to know." That Yang Shufei seems to be weak, but in fact, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, a royal princess, extraordinary. ”
"That's why you were called. You have always been good at looking at faces, and you have seen Yang Shufei many times, do you think there is something wrong with her face? Li Shimin asked.
Li Chunfeng suddenly realized that he had nothing to hide from Li Shimin, because Li Chunfeng knew that in the eyes of the emperor in front of him, the country would always be more important than the beauty.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yang Shu is a famous and noble family, so naturally her appearance is different from that of mortals." Li Chunfeng said truthfully.
"How can you see her loyalty to Datang?" Li Shimin asked again.
This, Li Chunfeng looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is only a shallow learner, if you want to know the specific matters, you also need to calculate the eight characters, watch the palm prints, and so on." However, Yang Shufei's chin is too sharp, and her luck is worse in her later years. ”
"Luck in old age?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, "How is the third prince?" ”
"It's too expensive!"
"Hmph, some people described me like this at the beginning, do you think that the third prince will become the emperor?" Li Shimin asked unhappily.
"Your Majesty, there are two kinds of emperors, one is inherited in the order of succession, and the other is posthumously sealed. However, the third prince is good-looking, a person with a good heart, and there is no trace of evil, and Senior Sister Pingsu is also full of praise for him. Li Chunfeng said: "That's all I know. ”
After Li Chunfeng retired, Li Shimin fell into deep thought, the future is still a long way, and the Chengqian generation is a bit like the fate of the previous generation. Cheng Qian is very good, but Tai'er and Ke'er are not weak, the paper, should be headed by Tai'er, and Ke'er should be the first in the martial arts, if it is a comprehensive civil and military, it seems that Ke'er is more comprehensive, in short, Cheng'er is not the best.
Li Shimin sighed slightly, looked in the direction of Da'an Palace from afar, and gradually understood the difficulties of his father. The Xuanwumen Mutiny was a lingering pain in Li Shimin's heart, he would never allow this kind of thing to happen again, and Li Shimin also confidently believed that he must be stronger than his father and emperor, and he could handle the relationship between his sons well.
If being an emperor and being a father are two different concepts, the princes of the past dynasties are not good enough to choose, and the turmoil of the Tang Dynasty is that the princes are all outstanding and are unwilling to live under others.
This is all in the future, and at the moment Li Shimin is still thinking about Xuanyin. In order to save her younger brother, Concubine Yang did not hesitate to risk the curse of breaking her oath to tell the whereabouts of a batch of treasures and enrich the treasury of the Tang Dynasty.
From this point of view, Yang Shufei is a great achievement, and Yang Gao has already been recorded dead in the annals of history, as long as the people of the world do not recognize his existence, this person can only be Xuanyin.
The most important thing is that why bother to fall out with Yuan Ziyan for someone who shouldn't exist in the first place?
Look at the hour, Yuan Ziyan should also wake up, Li Shimin shook his spirits and went to visit him. Unexpectedly, after so long, Yuan Ziyan was still asleep, and because of the fright, his body was slightly feverish, and there were tears hanging down the corners of his eyes in his sleep, looking so pitiful.
Li Shimin sighed, sat next to Yuan Ziyan, and couldn't help but use his hands to tidy up her messy hair, but unexpectedly, Yuan Ziyan was startled, and his body trembled a few times, which made people feel even more distressed.
Li Shimin couldn't bear it, and was afraid that she would yell at herself when she woke up, and she wouldn't even eat at that time, so after thinking about it, she decided to leave first and wait until she calmed down.
"Shimin."
As soon as Li Shimin walked to the door, a weak cry came from behind him, as if someone had grasped the last straw in despair. Li Shimin's heart moved, and he couldn't help but turn around and run to the bedside.
Yuan Ziyan still didn't open his eyes, but tears flowed more from his eyes, and Li Shimin couldn't help but stretch out a hand to put Yuan Ziyan's cold little hand in the palm of his hand.
Yuan Ziyan cried even more fiercely, and didn't want the other party to see his embarrassment, so he pulled the quilt and kept sobbing.
"Ziyan, there is always a time when I can't help myself, and I also have to take care of the emotions of the ministers. But I never wanted to hurt you, I kept watching in secret, just, just ......"
"Say no more!" Yuan Ziyan lifted the quilt, threw herself into Li Shimin's arms, and sobbed: "I thought, I thought, I would never see you again." You're so bad, I hate you! I hate you! ”
"Don't cry, don't cry!" Li Shimin's heart was sour, and at the same time he felt very happy, it turned out that his position in Yuan Ziyan's heart was so important, and the big quarrel he originally thought did not happen.
There was no need to say much, Yuan Ziyan was too tired and fell asleep again, Li Shimin gently put her down, pecked her lightly on the forehead, and went back happily.
The moment the door closed, Yuan Ziyan's eyes opened, with a little sadness and more indifference. The emperor is ruthless, if Li Yuan hadn't arrived in time, he would have been in a different place, and at that time, Li Shimin would have cried a few more times for himself.
Through this incident, Yuan Ziyan was deeply aware of a problem, in the ancient times of strict hierarchy, it was useless to be humble and generous and low-key, since he was pushed to the cusp, only rights and status can really save his life! (To be continued......)
