"Mother, what do you mean by that?"

Inside this jade slip, some information was recorded by someone with magic. Each of them is shocking.

These include the list of henchmen of the Qi Palace, the masters of the snare, and the sources of income everywhere. There is even some information about the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, as well as the possible place of this person in Luoyang City-

After that, the results of the investigation of those who participated in the attack on Li Xuanba that day. Although their specific whereabouts could not be traced, the identities of these people were already known, and only the magician was still clueless.

To Li Shimin's surprise, at least one-third of the content in this jade slip was related to the Duke of Chu.

There is a map of the power structure of the Duke of Chu in it, which shows all the protégés and former officials from Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu, and their current positions, as well as the relationship between in-laws and so on.

There is also a list of ink armor that has been 'scrapped' for various reasons in the local government treasury in recent years, and where they have gone-

The last part is a list. These people all have their own identities, or peddlers and pawns, or cooks and servants, or deep boudoir women, some are mixed in the gangs of the rivers and lakes, and some are in the government, there are about 200 people, all over Henan, Hebei and Kansai.

"You don't want to avenge your third brother?"

At the mention of this, Dou Shi still had a bad face, and snorted coldly: "I have lost Xuanba, it is impossible to sit back and watch you bastard to die." Reincarnation of the Heavenly Eye, you need to be very careful. Unless you are more than 100% sure, you must not rush into a fight!"

"The child understands!"

Li Shimin's expression was slightly grim: "Then this Chu State Mansion-"

"I know you're suspicious of them, and you're letting that girl from Qinglong Villa track down Mojia. But they are not people in the government after all, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions when they are traced. ”

Dou Shi took a deep look at Li Shimin: "Have you found any clues?"

"There are at least twelve thousand sets of ink armor, and their whereabouts are unknown. ”

While Li Shimin frowned, there was also a look of surprise in his eyes, shocked by the breadth of his mother's connections. This person has investigated how many sets of ink armor Lin Yi and Tubo have obtained in recent years.

The results of this investigation are indeed much clearer than the information obtained from Qinglong Villa.

"The number of ink armor is right, but the armor parts replaced in these dozen places are slightly more. The techniques they use are complex, and they have no problem cobbling together twelve thousand sets of ink armor—"

So what is the intention of the Chu State to go to great lengths to obtain 12,000 sets of ink armor from the official treasury?

"It's my son!"

Dou Shi asked sharply: "Then this matter, can you join their Chu State Mansion in a book? ”

Li Shimin shook his head slightly: "This is just our speculation, and it can't be regarded as evidence." They did it very carefully, and some of them had ways to explain and exonerate themselves, but they knew that it was not the people below who did it privately, what did it have to do with the Duke of Chu? It was me, and now there are at least a hundred ways to get rid of it. And if we openly participate in this performance, it will be to tear our faces with the Duke of Chu, once we can't bring down Yang Xuangan, then it will be difficult for the Li and Yang families to coexist in the court, and my father will never agree. ”

Although the two of them had a quarrel because of the Guozi test before. But estrangement from each other and complete enmity are completely different situations.

Although the Tang Mansion is the top general in Kansai, there is still a huge gap compared to the Chu Mansion that once leaned towards the government and the opposition.

Even if it is because of the jealousy of the Son of Heaven, the Duke of Chu has been repeatedly hit in recent years, but the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and at this time, the court is still full of protégés and former officials of the late Duke of Chu.

However, when Li Shimin said this, his voice changed slightly: "I can find a way to reveal this to the Son of Heaven, but the time is not right now, and we still need to be patient, and we must not go through the channel of embroidered clothes and guards and Si Litai." Please also ask my mother to be patient a little more. ”

He knew that the Duke of Chu was also the object of Dou's hatred. And Yang Jian usurped Zhou, and Yang Suqi also made great contributions.

"Why is that?"

Dou asked again with some impatience: "The matter of Chu Guogong's wanton collection of ink armor, I think even if he can't be brought down, at least it can make the Son of Heaven suspicious of him!"

"But if you don't die, you will suffer from it!"

Li Shimin's eyes were cold, and he looked at Dou Shi: "The Son of Heaven has always been defensive against the Duke of Chu, but as long as there is no empirical evidence, the possibility of him attacking Yang Xuangan is very small. But once the news is leaked, we may not be able to withstand the full counterattack of the Duke of Chu. ”

Then he slowed down his voice: "The so-called small intolerable will lead to a big conspiracy, and this big case, if it is used at the right time, it can probably get rid of the Duke of Chu in one fell swoop! But now that it has exploded, the gains outweigh the losses, and the grass startles the snake." In the child's mind, it is better to sit back and watch, if the mother must end, it is better to add fire and raise her salary to help her. ”

He originally thought that this sentence would make Dou Shi angry. But as a result, the latter smiled: "Then do you know that once the Yang family is in turmoil, I don't know how many people will die in the war in this world?"

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, and then shook his head slightly: "My Great Sui is extremely powerful, and the Son of Heaven is also the lord of Xiongchai. However, as long as the timing of the removal of the traitor is right, the impact will definitely be minimized. ”

"Yes, I hope so. ”

Dou Shi snorted coldly and did not comment on Li Shimin's words: "You have to keep the list in mind for the rest of the list." After reading it, it will be destroyed immediately. Whether it's your private salt business, or your actions in the Eastern Capital, you can use them. ”

Li Shimin guessed the same, but his face was not only joyless, but also showed a little hesitation: "But these people?"

"Don't worry, they have nothing to do with Da Zhou on the surface, and they don't know that they are related to the Zhou room, even if they are discovered, it will not affect your good future in this peaceful and prosperous world,"

Dou Shi snorted softly, and then waved his hand tiredly: "You go down, I'm tired." ”

And just when Li Shimin had no choice but to leave, the figure of the dumb servant also walked out from the corner of this floor.

"As I said, you don't need to worry about me. He always knew what he could do and what he had to do. You have always had good expectations for him before, thinking that you will be able to overturn the Great Sui River in the future, it is none other than you, why at this time, you have no confidence in him. ”

But Dou didn't answer, only silently looked at the figure of Li Shimin who had walked out of the Xuanwu Tower.

The dumb servant sighed slightly, thinking that this love of licking calves was indeed inevitable for everyone. Even Dou, who has always been strong and hard-hearted, has a persistent temperament, is no exception.

After returning to the palace that day to meet the Dou family and Li Yuan, Li Shimin resumed the life between Beppu and the palace.

After more than ten days, he found that he really had a tendency to read through all the classics in the entire Chongwen Pavilion.

This is because after he comprehended the true meaning of the true spirit and comprehended the true meaning of the heavenly beings last time, his memory also increased greatly. Li Shimin has almost reached the realm of unforgettable now, and all the books, as long as he reads them once, can basically write them down. After watching it twice, you can recite it backwards.

- Of course, this is only a superficial memory, and in three to five months, he may forget most of it. But still makes him read faster, greatly increased. Even if the time he had to read now was only one or two hours after dealing with the little princess, after thirteen days, the books in Chongwen Pavilion about martial arts, spiritual arts, and ink armor would only be slightly more important. He has put it in his mind,

The rest is only a subset of Confucian scriptures and history, as well as some scriptures and meanings of the Taoist and Buddhist families, which contain the annotations of the great Confucians and eminent monks of the past dynasties. But Li Shimin is no longer interested in these.

After all, he is the son of the top generals in Kansai, and he does not rely on Confucianism as a promotion rank. A long time ago, his attitude towards the three classics of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism was that it was good to have a certain understanding, and there was no need to delve into it.

After Li Xuanba's accident, Li Shimin's attitude towards the things around him became more and more utilitarian. thought that these doctrines were of no help to him now, and they could neither help him avenge nor help him improve his strength, so Li Shimin simply ignored them.

If he had time, he would carefully study the texts of the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism, which might help him grasp the various truths and mysteries of the heavens and the earth, so as to strengthen the divine body of Emperor Gou Chen and improve his true spirit condensation.

But at present, Li Shimin's strength still has a lot of room for improvement, and it is far to the extent that he needs to meditate on the mysteries and study the principles of heaven and earth in order to make further progress. That's what only those super-powerhouses, or even god-level grandmasters, need to do.

Ten days later, Li Shimin finally kept his promise and gradually took over some of Chongwendu's official affairs from the eldest grandson Wuji.

Recently, in the palace, there are indeed a lot of affairs.

As early as two days after the Son of Heaven returned to Beijing from Taiyuan, he began to settle accounts after the autumn, and there was a big attack of the generals of the reserve mansion, and the debasement and transfer of the post were transferred, and even the left reserve general Dong Chun was also deprived of the first-class medal.

Originally, this was the rank of the general of the Zhu Kingdom, but after winning the first rank, he became a general.

After that, the Son of Heaven strictly ordered all departments to conduct training and drills, and made it clear that they would watch the whole army at the end of the year.

However, at this time, the personnel of the reserve government was already in chaos, because a large number of officers were transferred, and the successor had not yet had time to take office. Li Shimin, who had escaped the storm by luck and Qianniu, were desperately sent by their superiors to use them, eager to cut their people into several parts and fill them everywhere.
