What happened in Yangzhou was quickly responded.

Li Shimin received a report from the Yangzhou envoy in the early morning.

No matter how he looks at this matter, he can't feel that there is a strange meaning in it.

Lou Shide, whom Chen Zhengtai recommended, was actually a rebellion, and what happened behind this really made Li Shimin a little incomprehensible.

It's just that...... From the history of Yangzhou to Yangzhou, and then to the report sent by the envoy in Yangzhou, the words were the same, but Li Shimin felt confused.

Immediately, he summoned Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, the eldest grandson Wuji, Dali Siqing, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to the front of the palace.

Holding the report in his hand, he said: "Lou Shide, I have some impressions, not like a disloyal and unfilial person, he is guilty this time, Chen Zhengtai is also willing to protect him, and now such a thing is happening, although the assassination history and the report of the envoy are all conclusive, but I still feel that there may be something suspicious in it, what do you think?" ”

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you send the imperial history and check it again." ”

Li Shimin bowed his head, sighed and said, "Why didn't Chen Zhengtai come to me to explain?" ”

This is the crux of the matter, after so much time, I don't know what Chen Zhengtai has been doing recently, and he didn't participate in the court meeting a few days ago.

"Then send the Inspector Yushi to take a trip."

Of course, Li Shimin did not think that sending to supervise the imperial history would have any effect.

After all, according to the duties of the inspector himself, he has the role of supervising the imperial history.

Even the envoys stationed in Yangzhou can't find out the truth, so what's the use of just relying on a supervising imperial history?

can release the supervision of the imperial history, to a certain extent, it is the Son of Heaven who showed distrust of the Huainan Provincial Inspectorate and the Yangzhou Assassin History, which is why he asked to continue the thorough investigation.

"Your Majesty......"

Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, said: "If the superintendent of the imperial history is sent, it is still as played by the envoy and the assassin history, what should it be?" ”

Li Shimin immediately understood what Sun Fujia meant.

Sun Fujia is the Dali Temple, in Sun Fujia's concept, the court has the court's etiquette, which cannot be changed, Dali Temple is the defender of the etiquette system and the law, this case is unsolved, has been delayed for too long, can not continue to delay.

Li Shimin looked at him and said, "What does Sun Qing think?" ”

Sun Fujia said: "If it is really a rebellion." Then the court should immediately deal with the crime of rebellion, otherwise, the matter will continue to be unresolved, and I am afraid that the world will be suspicious. In addition, the person who recommended Lou Shide? Should he also be punished, and the person who knows the person is not clear, and makes a rebellious thief in a high position? This traitor doesn't feel the grace of heaven after wearing the sin? I don't want to retribution, but I dare to rebel? This is a great forgiveness. The minister recommended Lou Shide? Is it the colt Chen Zhengtai? This person has a lot to do with His Majesty? But before the law, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people? What's more, it's Chen Zhengtaihu? ”

Li Shimin glanced at the others.

The crowd was silent.

It's already time for rebellion, who dares to speak casually?

That Fang Xuanling wanted to say in his heart, with the relationship between Chen Zhengtai and His Majesty? Even if he is implicated at that time, it will be just a slap in the face.

Li Shimin bowed his head: "When the time comes?" Let's wait for the report of the imperial history. ”

……

Chen Zhengtai didn't enter the palace to explain? In his opinion, even if it is explained now, it is a confused account!

In the past two months, in order to avoid suspicion, he simply stayed at home, but it was Princess Sui'an, who was unwell these days, so he didn't dare to go far, so he asked someone to invite a doctor from the hospital!

The doctor took the pulse, and without showing his face, he went to discuss with the other doctors.

After a while, another female doctor came and continued to take the princess's pulse.

Chen Zhengtai stood aside, he didn't really believe that this pulse could really see what was wrong, of course, it was just pure curiosity, so he put his left hand on the pulse of his right hand, and he didn't find any way out for a long time.

However, the female doctor hesitated again and again before saying, "Congratulations to the prince and His Royal Highness, this is the happy pulse." ”

"Ximai ......" Chen Zhengtai was stunned for a moment, and then said dumbfounded: "No, she is unwell these days, I am very regular, you touch the pulse and say that she is pregnant, what does this mean, things can be eaten indiscriminately, words can not be said indiscriminately." ”

Princess Sui'an was also taken aback and was embarrassed for a while.

The female doctor said in a firm tone: "Your Highness has been pregnant for nearly a month, and she will never be wrong." ”

"Oh, oh, it turned out to be more than a month." Chen Zhengtai was embarrassed for a while, he really saw countless stick guys being bitten by snakes in his previous life, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

It turned out that she had been pregnant for more than a month, and this ...... It makes sense.

Chen Zhengtai was stupidly surprised: "Is it accurate?" Is that really accurate? ”

"It couldn't be more accurate." The most annoying thing in the heart of the female doctor is probably a troublesome family member like Chen Zhengtai, but Chen Zhengtai's identity is different, and she can't have a seizure, so if she were someone else, she would have let this person roll from where and where he went.

Saying that, he was going to prescribe a prescription for Princess Sui'an, so that Princess Sui'an could take care of it.

Chen Zhengtai's mind was blank at this time, and it felt incredible to be a father for the first time!

Only a moment later, the Chen family was already boiling.

This is the first child of the head of the family and the princess, and it is highly valued!

Soon, the eunuchs and female officials went in and out, and then some close relatives of the Chen family had entered and left the hall, rubbing their hands one by one, as if they were about to give birth.

When Chen Zhengtai came out of the princess's bedroom, everyone hurriedly surrounded him with concern.

The third uncle first asked, "Is it true?" ”

Chen Jiye said worriedly: "Son...... Is it yours? ”

"What are these words?" The third uncle was suddenly furious, glared at Chen Jiye and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Chen Jiye's face turned red and he hesitated: "It's not that I just heard the news inside, Zhengtai said that there has been no ...... recently."

Chen Zhengtai felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I'm just talking nonsense, jokes, don't take it seriously, father." ”

"Come on, come on, don't talk about these things first, let's choose a name first." The third uncle was elated, and his eyes were shining because he was happy.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help laughing and said: "It's still early, and it will be born in August and September." ”

The third uncle's face was flat, and he said angrily: "The name is right, and with the name, even if this child is still in the mother's womb, he is already a member of our Chen family." ”

Chen Jiye's chick pecked the rice: "Yes, yes, the next generation is the macro generation, what is the name of Chen Hong?" ”

The third uncle looked very serious, with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth, his face was red, and he said for a long time: "How is the base, the base, this is also, the so-called foundation of the state family, this is the meaning, this is the meaning of the macro family." ”

Chen Zhengtai found that he seemed to be unable to interject anymore, looking at these people, you said everything to me, very serious, it seemed that it was not his turn to decide on the matter of choosing a name, so he didn't refute it and slipped away.

………………

Li Shimin is still in the palace discussing with Fang Xuanling, Sun Fujia and others.

There are too many strange things about Lou Shide's case, and the suggestions of the ministers are also different.

Li Shimin was obviously in a very bad mood, and although the captain of Yangzhou was only a minor official, the situation was very serious.

What's more, Yangzhou is a very sensitive place, and the new policy has been implemented here for some time, and the effect was quite significant before, but now that such a thing has happened, I am afraid that there will be more difficult places to say in the future.

But at this time, Zhang Qian hurriedly came in, ignoring the eyes of the other ministers, but when he came to Li Shimin, he whispered in a low voice.

The criminal department is still talking: "This case has been reported in the newspapers, and people all over the world are also talking about it, if the court is still undecided, the minister is only afraid of ......"

"Ah......" Li Shimin suddenly interrupted the words of the Criminal Department Shangshu with a surprised syllable.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Shimin suspiciously.

Li Shimin swept away his previous gloomy look at this moment, and his whole person was full of energy, and he laughed and said: "If you see the newspapers, you will see the newspapers, I ...... I'm going to be a grandfather. ”

Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other.

Does it matter?

Are you talking about business?

Wait.

Grandfather?

Your Majesty today certainly has many daughters.

But now the one who is really married seems to be a Sui'an princess.

To put it this way......

That's the Chen family......

How do you sound so mysterious?

Could it be that Chen Zhengtai was afraid of crime and deliberately released some news to please the palace?

This is not right, how dare you deceive people about such things?

No matter what other people were thinking, Li Shimin seemed very excited.

He was in the prime of life, and most of his children were not of adulthood.

As for the grandson...... Not yet.

After all, the eldest prince, Li Chengqian, has only just reached the age of getting married.

Now I suddenly found that I was about to go to a higher generation, and I suddenly felt that I had no thoughts.

He said with a smile: "It's really not easy, in the palace, Guanyin and Zhou Guiren are looking forward to it every day, this child has finally come out, Chen Zhengtai's biggest sin is not that he is not recommending well, but that he is not giving birth to a child, and now he ...... It's finally up to the trust! Well, all of you are scattered, all of them are scattered......"

Fang Xuanling: "......"

The others are okay, but the criminal department is still in the book, and I can't help but be embarrassed.

Everyone spoke freely, and the minister waited for so long, and finally it was the minister's turn to speak, so he only said half of it......

Wouldn't this seem that he, the secretary of the criminal department, is not very respected?

Li Shimin didn't bother to pay attention to his mood, hurriedly took a group of eunuchs, and walked away.

Only a group of ministers were left, you look at me, I look at you, and I was stunned for a while.

The old man of the Criminal Department Shangshu blushed slightly.

Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, couldn't help but say: "Damn, such a big thing can't be compared to a colt giving birth to a son." ”

“……”

At this time, it was the early years of Zhenguan, no more than other eras, in this era, even the vast majority of the ministers of the three provinces and the six ministries and nine kings still maintained a certain wildness, and many people had been in the army and had the experience of cutting people on the battlefield.

Because of this, it is actually normal for a person like Sun Fujia to have a quick temper and scold his mother directly.

………………

And in that distant sea from Chang'an, the ship has been sailing in the sea for more than two months.

For more than two months, although I walked along the coast, I didn't dare to get too close to the coast, which is close to the coast, there are many reefs, but fortunately, there are already relevant information in the hydrology and water village in this vicinity.

Therefore, this fleet basically followed the route of the fleet that was destroyed at the beginning.

In the fleet, most of the recruits are Jiangnan people, because of this, Jiangnan people are used to boats, plus they have had some exercises in the water village, so their combat effectiveness will not be sharply reduced.

It's just that the sea is too bumpy, and there are still people who can't bear it.

Lou Shide is not bad, but his brother Lou Shixian is vomiting and diarrhea, and the whole person is very choked.

There is a difference between a boat in the river and a boat in the sea. The level of bumps is not something that ordinary people can bear.

It's just that in this endless ocean, even if someone vomits up and down, what others can do is limited, and they can only survive by themselves.

Lou Shixian was on the verge of collapse.

But Lou Shide knew that he couldn't take care of his brother anymore, and he had to deal with more than a dozen ships and countless things.

The fresh water and food brought by the ships are sufficient, but what can be eaten in the sea is still limited.

Just a dozen days ago, a ship seemed to have contracted some kind of disease, and seven or eight sailors died.

These sailors died almost unwillingly in wailing.

The morale of the fleet has also fallen to the bottom.

And the fleet ...... It's already close to the Baekje Sea.

The more this time, the more anxious Lou Shide became.

He still underestimated the problems caused by sailing in the vast sea.

Whether it's disease, or wind and waves, or even psychology.

Yesterday, for example, a sailor suddenly went mad and rushed off the ship and fell into the sea, and has not been salvaged so far.

\ \\

There is so much despair on this ship, so desperate that countless loneliness surrounds people, making people uncontrollable thoughts of life and death.

Lou Shide knew that if he continued like this, he was afraid that the entire fleet would be in danger of being destroyed before the enemy ship could be found.

After all, the soldiers brought by these are still not well trained and experienced.

In the cabin, he had written a desperate letter, although he knew that this letter would never be brought back to land.

But maybe...... People will always get away with a glimmer of hope.

"Captain, Captain......"

In this shaking cabin, someone suddenly came and said hurriedly: "Yes...... There is a ship...... There are many boats. ”

Lou Shide's eyes suddenly opened, and suddenly he found that he had no thoughts at all, and his mind suddenly went blank, and he came back to his senses after a long time: "The ship...... What ship? ”

The man had an anxious look on his face and replied, "Baekje's ship, the other party's flag...... It is the ship of Baekje...... There are more than 20 ships coming towards us. ”

Anytime, meeting an opponent in a hurry is originally a scary thing.

But at this time, Lou Shide's psychology was very strange, and he was trembling with excitement.

Finally...... Encountered.

Even if you die today, at least ...... You can also die a vigorous death.

He was so excited that he couldn't restrain it, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he trembled: "Order, prepare to fight." ”
