Chapter 40: Subordinates Make Trouble
Li Shimin's eyes were strange, he found that Su Yi and Yang Jishan were not good-looking, and their eyes were panicked.
"Brother Wuji, what happened in Luoyang City these days?"
"Big deal?" "The eldest grandson Wuji pondered: "The black market was robbed, and the mysterious master Red Whisk Girl and Zhang Zhongjian fought in the middle of the Luohe River, does this count?"
Li Shimin thought to himself, of course, he had experienced it himself. But what he wanted to ask was not this: "Besides, is there anything else?"
"There is also Yuwen Chengji of the Yuwen family who was seriously injured and dying. ”
When the eldest grandson Wuji said this, there was also a bit of schadenfreude in his words: "Since the dispute between you and him in the imperial camp, this guy has been locked up at home by his mother. But this guy, so dead and ran to Cuiyan Building in the middle of the night, competing with others and being jealous, but he was slapped in the chest again. It is said that it is a kind of Jianghu boxing method called 'Black Dead Cotton Palm', which is still unconscious and dying. The Yuwen family begged all the famous doctors in Beijing, but they were helpless, so they could only hang their lives with some famous medicines. ”
Li Shimin secretly said 'sure enough', and was secretly surprised, that bearded man really didn't hate overnight, and he actually did it so quickly.
But this is also Yuwen Chengji's own death, if this guy stayed in his own house honestly, Zhang Zhongjian would not be so easy to succeed.
This also explains why Su Yi and Yang Jishan look like that-
These two guys don't look like diligent people. The reason why the two took the initiative to enter the palace was only because they were on errands, but because they were in trouble.
Now in the whole of Luoyang, only the palace with such a master can make that bearded guest scruple a thing or two.
At this juncture, it is strange that Su Yi and Yang Jishan can still have the heart to find trouble for him.
"I think that guy should have offended someone. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's expression moved slightly at this time: "Do you know the reason?"
And at this moment, in the corner where the two of them couldn't see, Su Yi was clenching his teeth and touching the wound on his face with his hand.
It was the whip mark that was drawn out by Li Shimin, which made him feel pain to this day. And although the Su family found the best medicine for him, they still couldn't make him recover in a short time. This made him resentful and inexplicable, and it was difficult for him: "Shiro, you are in the palace, what powerful person do you know?"
He asked about Yang Jishan, who was Yang Su's fourth son.
"Yes, yes. ”
Yang Jishan's brows furrowed slightly: "Do you want to take revenge on that Li Erlang?" But I think that at this time, you and I are still a little more peaceful." ”
He has a headache, and now they can't even save their lives, this Su Yi still has the heart to find Li Shimin for revenge.
In fact, he was very grateful to that guy, if this guy hadn't stepped forward in time to stop him that day, then he might not have been able to save his life. The first person under the Great Grandmaster will definitely hunt him down to the ends of the earth.
"But this hatred and revenge, how can you not repay it!"
Su Yi's eyes were resentful: "If you can help me out of this breath, if you ask for that, I will agree." ”
Their martial arts Su clan generations of civil ministers, in the army is weak, let alone able to go deep into the palace. Therefore, if he plans to regain face from Li Shimin, he can't help but ask for the Yang family.
In the past, Yang Su was a general, whether in the army or in the court, he was deeply powerful.
At this time, the corners of Yang Jishan's lips also drew a slight arc: "Since Brother Su is insistent, then I will do my best." I don't know what result Brother Su wants? Is it to make him lose his official position and abandon his post, or to beat him up badly, or to make him lose face?"
"This-"
Su Yi hesitated slightly, and then said coldly, "Forget it if you lose your official position and abandon your post, I know that this guy doesn't want to join the army at all, and if he loses his official position and abandons his post, he may be in his hands." The latter two might as well come together. As I said, sooner or later I will have to repent of his mistakes. ”
※ ※ ※ ※
Li Shimin didn't know that these two people already had unpredictable thoughts about him. On that day, accompanied by the eldest grandson Wuji, he walked around Chongwen Pavilion, and after learning about the surrounding environment, he returned to Chongwen Pavilion to see the vast sea of books that were treasured here.
This is a slight suspicion of abusing power for personal gain, but these books have been placed in this pavilion for many years, and no one cares about them, which is really a tyrannical thing.
And in Li Shimin's view, as long as a person does his job well and has no mistakes or omissions, then he can pursue his hobbies outside of work. Of course, the premise of this is that you can't mislead the public because of private interests.
On this day, what Li Shimin wants to read is about the end of the five elements, as well as the Taoist talismans, as well as the Sanskrit classics of the Dharma, especially the books suitable for beginners.
Don't look at the records in these books, they are all relatively superficial knowledge, but they are extremely comprehensive. This is outside the palace, but it is hard to find, and you can't buy it if you want to.
And that night, when Li Shimin returned to his home and then studied how to copy the Taimiao Divine Forbidden Map, he really made a lot of progress, just this night, he mastered the skill of 'consistent', and then 'Shen Lai Zi Rhyme', also a little eyebrows, he felt that he had found the direction.
And it's not just the forbidden picture of the wonderful gods, he now has a lot of progress in his understanding of the 'Five Rounds of Divine Determination' and the 'Five Virtues Fragments', and has a deeper understanding.
This was directly fed back to his refining body and True Yuan cultivation, and it was only this one night. The quality of his practice is comparable to that of the previous five days.
So the next day, Li Shimin got up early again and went to the palace with great interest. But this time, he brought his own ink armor 'Baike'.
According to the Great Sui military system, the forbidden army of 16 guards (12 guards and four prefectures) was provided by the military department and the Weiwei Temple, including four levels: soldiers, captains, generals, and marshals.
However, what the Ministry of War provides is only a standard version of the armor. Among them, the taxi and lieutenant class are good, all of them are of good design and quality, and they are quite sought-after in the black market.
But the above generals and handsome are just basic versions. The former costs 10,000 guan, the latter costs 100,000 guan, and there is nothing except the strength of the second level of generals, speed and anti-strike ability. There are no combat skills, and there are no magic pattern blessings. On the battlefield, this can only oppress those second-class divisions of non-commissioned officers, and against divisions that are evenly matched,
Therefore, the military department and the sixteen guards did not prohibit the generals and soldiers of the army to use their own battle armor. It was even encouraged to provide certain subsidies for generals who were equipped with war armor.
Li Shimin has his own assembled 'Baiyuan', which naturally chooses the form of subsidy. He can now get a one-time payment of 8,000 guan from Weiwei Temple, as well as a subsidy of 1,000 guan per year in the future.
But before that, he needed to know that he would send his 'Hundred Armor' to the Weiwei Temple for a slight modification, adding a layer of shell and red paint to the surface of the original Hundred Armor.
This shell serves no other purpose, and is even a bit of a hindrance. But they forbid the army, and what they asked for was uniformity and solemnity. Wouldn't it be ugly if everyone's ink armor was different?
This modification originally took a few days, but he is the second son of today's Wei Shaoqing after all. Several craftsmen of the Weiwei Temple joined forces, and it took less than a small hour to add the shell outside of the hundred gam.
During this period, several people also exchanged armor skills, and these alchemists were amazed and admired this 'Baijia' armor. This made Li Shimin happy, but also a little proud.
But when he came to the palace with this ink box, Li Shimin's mood turned down,
His order yesterday was to tell his subordinates to tell each other that they would gather in the palace today. But at this time, there were less than 28 people, and the number was slightly less than yesterday.
Of the three team leaders, only one named Zhang Buzhou was present, and the other two, including Na Fan Shixing, were nowhere to be seen.
As for these not coming, there are high-sounding reasons. Some are sick and can't come, while others have a happy event at home and have to take a day or two off.
Li Shimin was not surprised, but he didn't expect these guys to dare to do this.
Even the twenty-eight guards in front of him, although they were all respectful on the surface, Li Shimin could detect that the eyes of these people were full of narrowness and disdain.
Li Shimin himself knows that if he can't handle this matter properly, then his last majesty will also be gone.
"You're too young and vigorous. ”
The one who is not about forty years old, has a shrewd and old face.
This person also knew that Li Shimin was extraordinary, so he didn't dare to offend too much, but he just looked like he was thinking about Li Shimin, and sighed: "Yu is waiting for you to let everyone abide by your rules, which is also right." But the problem is that you are in such a hurry that you don't give any room for back. We left-guard people have always been used to being careless, how can we stand it? After that, Yu Hou offended Na Fan again. This person has a fiery temperament, and he is deeply respected by the soldiers, and he can be said to be a hundred echoes in the left guard. If he wants to embarrass you, even if it is Lord Naosai, it is unthinkable,"
Speaking of this, he asked tentatively: "If you feel embarrassed, or can I come forward and make peace with Team Fan for you?"
Li Shimin really didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, and directly ordered these people to disperse and do things.
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji also walked over: "This is the dismount! The military order you issued is one thing, and it is another thing whether they take it in their eyes or not." ”
He had suffered before, and there was nothing he could do about these people. So he also wanted to see how Li Shimin planned to deal with it.
Li Shimin asked with a smile: "I don't know what Brother Eldest Sun did before?"
"Me?" "The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly: "I went to visit these people's homes one by one, and if there is any false report, they will be severely punished." But they have a way to cope—"
After Li Shimin listened, the corners of his lips twitched, and he didn't say a word about the eldest grandson Wuji's words.
Soon after, he found his cousin Dugu Cheng.
