Chapter 57: The Savage Princess

Soon after the flames were extinguished, Zhang Buzhou also took his subordinates and escorted two young men dressed as chamberlains to Li Shimin: "It's this group of guys, the torches that were lost." It's a pity that our reaction was still slow and we only caught two. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but turn around directly, kicked the two servants a few times, and at the same time burst out foul language: "I'm your grandma!

Li Shimin didn't stop it at the first time, he also felt annoyed, just now their Chongwen Pavilion left team, as long as there is a little bit of slackness, then there is likely to be a fire tonight.

Naturally, Chongwen Pavilion was stared at by the embroidered guards, and it was impossible to catch fire, even if it only burned a few hundred books. For them, it is also a great sin.

Zhang Buzhou is a person who knows how to measure in the end, and after beating the two teenagers with blue noses and swollen faces, he stopped his hand and turned to look at Li Shimin angrily: "Yu Hou, how do you say this matter should be handled?"

Li Shimin frowned tightly and fell into deep thought. The previous filth was just that, but this time the torches have gone beyond the scope of nonsense.

But after he pondered for a while, he still shook his head slightly: "You personally send the person to the court office, and report the matter here in detail, and ask the court supervisor to order a serious punishment." ”

"The Tribunal's Office?"

Zhang Buzhou's face was pale, and there was a slight hesitation. But when he saw Li Shimin's cold gaze sweeping over, he still replied helplessly: "Just wait for it." ”

Then he waved his hand, took a few people and escorted the two attendants, and left the east courtyard of Chongwen Pavilion.

Li Shimin stayed where he was, thoughtful, he understood what Zhang Buzhou was worried about.

The Imperial Court Office is in charge of the palace attendants, palace maids and miscellaneous affairs for the royal family, and is also in charge of the palace prison, which is subordinate to the Changqiu Prison, that is, the Great Changqiu in ancient times.

However, considering the person behind these internal prisoners, it is natural for Zhang Buzhou to doubt the impartiality of this court office.

Later, as he and Zhang Buzhou expected, that night, before Li Shimin had time to leave the palace, news had already spread from the court office that the two eunuchs who threw torches had been released by the court office.

said that the evidence was insufficient, but these two people just happened to pass by, but it was the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion, and they were suspected of lynching to extract confessions. It is a first-time offense, and it is a different system, so the court office is open to the net and will not be pursued.

Hearing this, Li Shimin sighed slightly and left the palace with a solemn face.

And the next day, when he entered the palace again on duty, he saw the little princess Yang Ying, accompanied by a group of palace maids, waiting for him on the royal road. Especially when Li Shimin arrived closer, the corners of the girl's lips were cold, revealing a contemptuous and sarcastic smile.

"As Bengu said, after betraying Bengu, you will pay the price!"

Li Shimin didn't want to pay attention to her at all, and went around directly, treating the large number of women in front of him as nothing.

Seeing this, Yang Ying couldn't help but be angry and let out a soft snort.

"Listen to me! This is far from over, sooner or later this palace will make you regret it!"

Li Shimin's footsteps were sluggish, and he glanced at Yang Ying with a sharp knife-like gaze, and then without saying a word, he continued to walk in the direction of Chongwen Pavilion.

At this time, Yang Ying was slightly startled and subconsciously took a step back. But then she reacted, and her eyes became even more annoyed.

That afternoon, Li Shimin was still reading in the library when he heard a few exclamations outside the window. He sighed in his heart, knowing that this must be the revenge of the little princess again.

And when he walked out of the study building and came to the door, he saw that here, the ground was full of rats, insects, snakes and ants, crawling everywhere. And in the corner, there are more than a dozen broken sacks.

One of the guards, who had been bitten by a poisonous snake, sat down on the ground, his face turned blue.

Li Shimin's face suddenly turned cold, and he walked out of the courtyard gate directly, and then saw that some of his subordinate soldiers were catching a few eunuchs and pressing them to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's expression was slightly gloomy. After that, he first asked people to rescue the guard who had been bitten by the poisonous snake, and then ordered his subordinates to try to catch the snakes and insects.

Fortunately, the poisonous snake that bit the guard was just a red practice, and the toxicity was not serious, and the general antidote pill could be dissolved.

When these things were almost dealt with, Li Shimin looked at Fan Shixing with appreciation: "But have they all been captured?"

The person in charge of guarding Chongwen Pavilion today is none other than Fan Shixing and his left guard rear team. The latter also looked solemn and reported to Li Shimin: "There are a total of eighteen troublemakers, and we have captured nine of them, and the rest have taken advantage of the chaos to escape." However, the lowly and subordinate recorded the appearance of six of them. ”

"Well done!"

Li Shimin was slightly satisfied, among the three teams under him, although Fan Shixing's temperament was the most unruly, but the most powerful person was also this person.

And since this man pleaded with him, he bowed down to him, and all the military orders he gave were not disobeyed, and he would never discount them at all, and the training results of the left guard rear team were also the best, and the combat power was the best in the left guard.

Of course, Fan Shixing was able to have this result today because he had already taken precautions

But at this time, Fan Shixing showed hesitation in his eyes: "Lord Yuhou, I don't know what to do with these people?"

Not only him, but the rest of the guards on the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion also looked at Li Shimin with a complicated gaze, and even had some implicit resentment. Everyone knows the cause of these few days of unwarranted disasters. And although they also shared their share of the reward money that Li Shimin received, they didn't want to suffer from the disaster of the pond fish.

"Disposition?"

Li Shimin also had a headache in his eyes: "This is a bit difficult to do, in short, I can't send them to the court office." ”

Once these people enter the court office, it is estimated that they will be released unscathed in less than half a day.

This is what makes it the most difficult for him, if these eunuchs are allowed to get out easily, he, the East Courtyard of Chongwen Pavilion, is only afraid that there will be no peace. Even if there are only two or three more times, the hearts of the left team of Chongwen Pavilion will be scattered.

And today's things, he can't bear it either, which is beyond his bottom line.

So he thought about it for a while and came up with a decision: "Hold the people first, and I'll go to Taiyuan Palace for a trip." ”

Taiyuan Palace is the residence of the current Empress Xiao. Taoism believes that all parts of the human body have the god of the main division, and the gods have their own names, and the human hair is above the head, so the word is called Taiyuan.

Li Shimin had just walked near the Taiyuan Palace when he was stopped by the guards and the inner prison guards on duty. However, he did not give up, but handed his waist card and insisted on seeing him.

Those inner prisoners did not dare to ask him for instructions. However, Li Shimin was lucky, and after a while, someone came out of the Taiyuan Palace and summoned him to meet him.

This made Li Shimin secretly relieved, if it really didn't work, he would only have to use human favors to support the relationship, but fortunately it didn't come to this point.

But this queen is not what he wants to see. Li Shimin waited outside for a full hour before being summoned into the Danfeng Palace.

Entering the door, Li Shimin saw a graceful and luxurious woman sitting above him, surrounded by beads, and there were several young girls next to him. The princess Nanyang and Yang Ying he had seen that day were among them, the former frowned slightly, and the latter was a little flustered, but he managed to keep smiling.

Li Shimin didn't dare to look up, and took three steps forward and bowed down directly: "The minister is ready to prepare Li Shimin, see Her Royal Highness the Queen." ”

"Get up! Virusha, you are your Majesty's aunt and cousin, and you are also the nephew of this palace, so there is no need to be so respectful in front of this palace. ”

Empress Xiao's voice was amiable, and her voice was golden and jade: "I heard that you have something important to do, and you will return to the palace?"

Li Shimin stood up unceremoniously, but he still bowed: "The minister does have something important, today there is an internal supervisor who went to Chongwen Pavilion to make trouble, and threw hundreds of snakes and insects into Chongwen Pavilion. ”

When Empress Xiao heard this, she already understood it in her heart, and glared at Yang Ying next to her fiercely. This girl has just finished the grounding, and she has made trouble again.

And this kind of method, who taught this girl? Revenge in this way is already excessive!

She then frowned slightly, thinking to herself that Li Shimin came to find her, is it just to sue her? Want her to punish Ying'er? If so, she will uphold justice for this son, but in the future-

At this moment, she realized that Li Shimin's words did not mention Yang Ying's name from beginning to end.

Empress Xiao was thinking about this, and then she heard Li Shimin say: "The ministers are afraid that the books in the pavilion will be destroyed by the genus of ants and insects, and I am afraid that there will be a crowd in the future." Therefore, I came to ask His Royal Highness for an order, and the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion will arrest and dispose of all internal supervisors in accordance with the laws of the palace. ”

Empress Xiao was puzzled at first, but after a while, she understood: "By my special order, in accordance with the laws of the palace?

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin's voice was cold: "In addition, please also invite the little princess to Chongwen Pavilion to watch the punishment." ”

Hearing this, it was not only Empress Xiao who frowned slightly, and looked at Li Shimin's gaze cold. It was Nanyang next to him, who also exclaimed, and then scolded angrily: "You are a little prepared, so bold-"

But before Nanyang's words fell, Queen Xiao flicked her sleeves slightly and stopped her words. The queen's face first showed a little hesitation, and finally looked down at Li Shimin with a cold gaze: "Please ask the little princess to go to Chongwen Pavilion to watch the execution, do you know what you are talking about?"

At this time, Li Shimin also raised his head, his eyes were firm, and he looked at Queen Xiao without giving in: "Minister, know!"

When Empress Xiao saw this, she did not laugh angrily, but smiled with satisfaction: "Vilusha, you are very good! If he can become a minister of the court and the central government in the future, he will be a direct minister who dares to admonish him." ”

Then she said in a cold voice: "Yes, according to Qing's wishes, I will go from Nanyang to accompany Ying'er later!"

Yang Ying was a little proudly condescending, looking at her enemy. But when she heard this, her face stiffened slightly, and she looked at her mother in disbelief.
