Chapter 275: Ambiguous Relationship
"Okay! I only mean that something happened to Hui, and I can't spare him. But since Minghui is safe and sound, even if he escapes this time. If these young people are not beaten from time to time, sooner or later they will make some kind of moth. β
Yang Guang's tone and expression at this time had turned gentle, and when he looked at Li Shimin's eyes, there was a hint of appreciation: "You are very good this time, knowing that the person who attacked Minghui is strong, you still dare to fight hard." With this visible nature, it is indeed a dedicating duty and commendable loyalty. However, this time you have been in the first place, although you sacrificed your life to save people afterwards, it can only be regarded as making up for your previous mistakes, I only count your merits and demerits this time, can you be convinced?"
Li Shimin dared to say that he was not convinced, and immediately bowed down: "Your Majesty is wise! This failure to blame the subordinates for their dereliction of duty has already made the ministers panic and uneasy. β
"You kid, you know a lot!"
Yang Guang smiled slightly, and the look of satisfaction on his face was even stronger: "But this time, since you have worked hard for the imperial court, you can't help but appreciate it." Come on, bring up the things you have prepared!"
With this order, a line of attendants, each holding a tray, stepped forward. In the back, there are four people together, holding an ink box together. The weight seemed to be extremely heavy, and the four of them were in this loess road, and one foot was a deep pit.
The surface of the ink box has a trace of golden lines, which looks quite precious.
Li Shimin recognized it at a glance, this must be a king-level battle armor.
Only then did he slant his eyes at the others, and found that there were gold, runes, elixirs, weapons, and all kinds of objects on it.
After a rough calculation in his heart, he found that the combined value of these things amounted to more than two million yuan!
Yang Guang waved his hand indifferently: "You can bring these things back later." I know that your losses this time are not small, and your weapons and ink armor are gone. I also hope that in the future, you will be able to do your duty for me and the Great Sui Imperial Court. β
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but secretly admire.
I thought that I really deserved to be the Son of Heaven, but this kind of bearing was rare at that time. There is a reason why this man was able to surpass his brother in the battle for the throne and finally win from several brothers.
"In this regard, I want to know, it seems that you knew before the incident that the perpetrator was the will of heaven. β
"It is true that the minister knew it before he left the camp. It's justβ"
Li Shimin secretly said Sure enough, he guessed that this time the Son of Heaven would most likely ask about it, and the embroidered guards would definitely remind him.
At this time, he paused, and hesitated slightly: "This is related to a good friend of the minister, this person is well-informed and has a wide face, so he can know some secret things-"
He didn't say the name of the person, but Yang Guang's eyes were already flashing.
The beloved daughter of the bearded guest Zhang Zhongjian hid in Li Shimin Beppu and had an ambiguous relationship with the latter, and he had already known about it from the embroidery guard.

When Li Shimin was in a cold sweat and left in front of the Son of Heaven's palace, he saw that the embroidered clothes not far away were already waiting on the side of the road. In his hands, he is leading a very tall war horse.
Li Shimin's eyes were subconsciously attracted by this divine horse, and the horse's shoulders alone were eight feet high, much taller than many people, plus the horse's neck and head, it was more than a foot long. The muscles of his legs and waist are also unusually strong.
- It's not the kind of muscles that are knotted, but the toned and powerful, and the firmness is abnormal, so that people can see at a glance that this is a top-notch horse.
The speed may not be fast, but the endurance must be long-lasting, and the strength should be the top.
If you think about it, if someone rides this horse, and the whole body, including the war horse, is covered with heavy ink armor, the situation is simply terrifying.
"This is also a bloody dragon horse, but it is not the same as your original one. Legend has it that its father was a wild horse king on the Dawan grassland, and no one could surrender until he died. This is also one of the compensation for you, Your Majesty. β
Tang Yuanhua walked up with a wry smile on his face, and handed the reins in his hand to Li Shimin: "I have to thank you this time, if it weren't for your desperate help to Princess Minghui, the old slave would have to go to prison to ask for the crime now." β
This time, his main task is to take care of the three imperial grandchildren. But the three princes and princesses of the Ashina family are also within his duties.
Especially Ashina Minghui's special identity is something he must take care of.
Li Shimin smiled: "Go to prison? Father-in-law Tang's words are too much, Your Majesty has a lot of trust in you." β
"Naturally, but the old slave is worthy of His Majesty's trust. β
Tang Yuanhua shook his head: "Since the beginning of the year, the slave has repeatedly disappointed the Son of Heaven. If Princess Minghui really has anything to do this time, even if His Majesty doesn't ask about the crime, the slave and maid will have no shame to live. β
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be silent, he heard Tang Yuanhua's will, and he was indeed a little depressed.
"Speaking of Li Shangyitong, it is really a lucky star for the old slave. This year, there have been three disasters that have been avoided because of you, so I don't know how to thank the old slave, but-"
But this man paused, and then looked at Li Shimin with a different color: "Since Li Shangyi and your third brother died, they have been estranged from the old slave. Rong Lao Nu dared to ask, did Li Shangyi be suspicious of the old slave because of this, and he was on guard?"
Li Shimin thought to himself, how could he not be vigilant and take precautions?
Arrange him and Li Xuanba to go out of the city to Kansai, which is not something that anyone can do. This is also clearly to catch their brothers on the way.
At that time, Tang Yuanhua was not only responsible for tracking down the anti-party, but also held part of the authority in the palace, and many things were worth talking about.
And according to the information he inquired about, there were many clues, all pointing to this person. target
He couldn't put this person out of the way.
"All I can say is that it really doesn't have much to do with it. However, the old slave is indeed to blame for the death of his brother. β
Tang Yuanhua's expression was heartfelt, and his voice was also sincere: "His Royal Highness Empress Xiao that day was embarrassed by the selection of people to inspect the mausoleum of the first emperor. She originally proposed several candidates, but they were all rejected by the Ministry of Rites for various reasons, and there was really no one available. So he asked left and right, but the two Zhuang Hou were in charge of the case, but they couldn't argue. The old slave happened to be nearby, so he took the initiative to mention Li Shangyi's name. At that time, it was a good heart, in order to repay the honor for the underground culvert, and give you a promotion rank. But who would have thoughtβ"
Li Shimin's eyes were slightly glazed, and he noticed the word 'Ministry of Rites' mentioned in Tang Yuanhua's words.
At this time, looking back on the beginning, the scene of that day is really suspicious. His Royal Highness Empress Xiao drove in front of him, as if waiting for the old slave to say the name of Shangyitong. β
Tang Yuanhua continued to explain: "After selecting the entourage, the old man did not do his best. It is the following people who will make a list of suitable candidates to show me. Among them, the name of Ling Di is in the third place. The old man chose Brother Ling first, and Dong Chun also approved the matter. At that time, I never thought that with my brother's qualifications, how could I take on such important tasks? There were more than 200 people in the palace who were ready to be fed, waiting for the opportunity to be promoted. In any case, his name should not be at the top of the list, or even appear on this list. β
Li Shimin took a deep breath and pressed the fluctuations in the center. His instinctive judgment Tang Yuanhua was absolutely not false, and this person's words also confirmed some of his judgments.
"Thank you, Father-in-law Tang, for being able to tell me about this, but I also want to know what the Ministry of Rites used to reject the candidate proposed by His Royal Highness Empress Xiao for some reason-"

Just when Li Shimin was talking to Tang Yuanhua, Ashina Minghui was lying on the window of the Luan car, looking at the heroic figure not far away. The corners of her lips were slightly furrowed, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Yang Ying's face was extremely ugly: "Ashina Minghui, do you want to get out of the way? I really have something." β
"Get out of the way, do you want to see your sweetheart?"
Ashina Minghui didn't mean to move her body at all: "But at your age, you're too young." When you grow up, you will already be a married man. For the sake of your future, cousin, I don't think I can let you go down the wrong path. β
"You want to care?"
Yang Ying felt that there was something wrong with Ashina Minghui at this time, but she didn't think about it deeply for the time being, so she only sneered: "I found that your skin is really thick enough, and you can still be leisurely and leisurely after so many people." If I were you, I would just die outside and not come back!
Especially when she heard that Li Shimin almost died in front of her this time, which made her even more disappointingly unimpressed with this so-called 'cousin'.
"Speaking of even people, you Yang Ying, the demon of the world, don't have the face to talk about others, right?"
Ashina Minghui laughed, and sneered at Yang Ying's evil words without any disapproval: "But this time, Erlang was seriously injured and reprimanded by His Majesty, this is indeed my fault, so I must make up for it." Before leaving the Great Sui, I want to hear him say forgiveness in person. β
"Jiro?"
Yang Ying couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body when she heard this woman's tone.
She also subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and soon after, she also noticed Ashina Minghui's gaze.
Yang Ying couldn't help but tremble slightly, and there was a look of disbelief in her eyes.
"Ashina Minghui, you guy, shouldn't it be-"
"That's right, I like him now!"
Ashina's bright expression was frank, as if he was saying something very ordinary: "A young hero like him is already loved." What's more, this time, he can still sacrifice his life to save me. β
Speaking of this, Ashina Minghui suddenly sighed and muttered: "Why didn't I notice it before." Li Shangyi and him are so heroic!"
Just because at this time, Li Shimin had already jumped up and rode on the sweaty dragon horse. The posture at this time is indeed majestic and heroic.
Ashina Minghui only felt that none of the teenagers he had seen could be compared with Li Shimin.
