Chapter 23 [Chai Shao, do you want to wear a green hat?] 】
Today, it has not yet been completely cleared, and the transmission of information is naturally quite slow, and if the conclusion of the court wants to be transmitted to the place, ten days and half a month can be regarded as relatively fast.
From Chang'an to Luoyang, it takes three days to get a fast horse.
From Luoyang to Hebei, it took another ten days to run wildly.
Since the controversy over the passage of a new type of post station in the court, almost everyone's attention has been involuntarily turned to Hebei.
Royal family.
Family.
The Prince's Mansion of the East Palace.
King Qin's Tiance Mansion......
Everyone was in the same place, full of curiosity and waiting for an answer.
"Where will that specially approved new post station be set ......up?"
No matter how many millions of things in the world are in common, all you need to know is where the woman set up that station, and everyone can guess some unusual anomalies from it.
When the time comes, whether you choose to avoid that post station or use that post station to start some kind of struggle, no matter what choice you make, you can be prepared in advance.
It's not like now, everyone doesn't know the princess's mind at all.
……
In this day and age, horses alone were slow to convey messages.
Fortunately, there is another way to pass the book faster.
What is it?
Birds!
Whether it is a royal family or a family, as long as it is a family that is strong enough to a certain extent, it will regard the transmission of information as a solemn matter.
So, keep birds.
This kind of flying bird is a kind of falcon produced in Liaodong of the East China Sea, with a wingspan of up to half a zhang, and a fierce temperament, not only good at hunting, but also flying as fast as thunder.
If this eagle is fed with meat before departure, it can fly thousands of miles in one day, and after being domesticated, it is the fastest bird of this era.
From Chang'an to Hebei, the falcon can be reached in one day plus midnight.
From Luoyang to Hebei, it only takes one day to arrive.
Even if you wait for a reply after sending a message, the total time spent is only about three days, which can be regarded as a timely communication in this era.
……
This day is the third day.
The sky was just bright, the sun had not yet risen, and suddenly seven or eight birds of prey flew over the entire Chang'an, and the difference between the front and back was at most a cup of tea.
These seven or eight birds of prey, eagles and falcons, each flew into a certain place in the city, including the imperial city, the East Palace, the gate valve of Suzaku Street, and the mansion of the Marquis of Guogong.
The news from Hebei has finally returned.
On this day, the ministers of the Tiance Mansion in Luoyang gathered, but saw Li Shimin unfolding a small scroll of silk silk as thin as a cicada's wings, and a pair of tiger eyes kept reading the words on the silk silk.
"Miyun, Hebei, ten miles outside the city, southeast, there is a village, this village is very small, only fifteen households, the village is near the big river, the back is dependent on the high mountains, and there is a big lake called Miyun Lake, just in the east of the big river flowing into it, if the distance is measured at the speed of galloping horses, it takes about three hundred and seventy breaths, the big river, the big lake, the high mountains, quite a circle of terrain, in the center of the circle, there is a village, check the county chronicles, called the village of Gujia."
This is an extremely detailed biography of birds, which almost clarifies the situation of the entire Gujia Village, not only indicates the geographical location, but also explores the surrounding environment to the extreme.
Whether it is the great rivers and lakes or the mountains behind the village, they are all described in detail in this biography, and if they encounter a march and battle, the scouts can even draw a map directly from these words.
Then Li Shimin didn't care about these detailed descriptions at all, he just stared at the last line at the end of this biography:
"The subordinates and others visited the four generals of the Women's Army, asked for news, and got an answer, the place where the specially approved post station is to be set up is Gujia Village outside Miyun City."
Outside Miyun City?
Gujia Village?
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a certain contemplative color, and it took a long time before he hesitated to speak: "Xiuning her, Xiuning her, why did she set up that special post station there." ”
It's a pity that no one can answer Li Shimin's question.
Because there is no news about this in the legend of the birds.
Since it was never written, it is obvious that the spies did not find out.
Li Shimin suddenly handed over the handbook to the courtiers present to circulate and watch, but he himself was behind his back, and said with hesitation again: "Gujia Village? A small village with only fifteen households? Xiuning, what happened to her these days, she actually set up that special post station in this small Gujia Village. ”
He was bewildered, curious and curious.
At this time, a person stood up in the crowd, and it was the eldest grandson Wuji who slowly spoke, and said with a smile: "No matter what the reason is, we finally know the latest situation of the princess, since the princess has set up the post station in Gujia Village, she must be extremely interested in this place, we just need to pay more attention in the future, and one day we will be able to get all the answers......"
It's a pity that this answer is not an answer that Li Shimin is satisfied with.
A general stood up next to him, and said with the same smile: "Your Highness cares about chaos, so you can't see the secret clearly, and the last general has been thinking about it during these days, and has vaguely figured out an interesting thing." ”
Li Shimin hurriedly looked at him and said hurriedly: "If Gong Mao has any speculation, please come quickly." ”
The general smiled again and said slowly: "As we all know, the princess has a stubborn and tenacious personality, once she determines something, she will not regret it, and it is precisely because the princess has such a strong personality that some time ago, when we saw her suicide note, we thought that the princess would inevitably commit suicide." ”
He paused at this point, smiled and said: "In those days, His Royal Highness was grieved, and the ministers were also sad, His Majesty even pursued the seal on a large scale, and the eighteen generals personally carried the coffin, but no one thought that the princess did not commit suicide to die, this matter is obviously not in line with the princess's character......"
"What the hell is Mao Gong going to say?" Li Shimin was a little anxious, and couldn't help but urge: "Don't talk about everything, you just say your guess." ”
As a result, he saw that the general laughed, and still said unhurriedly: "The minister thinks that the princess must have encountered some kind of encounter that made her change her mind during this period of time, or a certain person, or something, whether it is because of someone or because of something, in short, the princess's will to die has disappeared." ”
He said another pause, and then said: "This change was originally a headless unsolved case, but the princess suddenly wanted the women's army to set up a post station, and as a result, there was a dispute in the court, and the scale of the post station was reduced tenfold, but the only one was approved to take care of the princess's face, but this specially approved post station was to be set up in Gujia Village. This person must be from Gujia Village......"
is worthy of Xu Maogong, who deduced everything based on just a few clues.
It's a pity that he stopped again when he said this, and it seemed that the next words were not convenient to say directly, and he looked at a certain general with a deep neck in the hall, obviously hesitating whether to continue talking.
The general who craned his neck to listen was Chai Shao......
……
Li Shimin's eyes quietly glanced at Chai Shao.
After also hesitating for a moment, he said the next guess in place of Xu Maogong.
But I heard Li Shimin say softly: "That person must be from Gujia Village, that person persuaded Xiuning to die, that person, let Xiuning have the mind to live, that person, let Xiuning set up the most special post station in Gujia Village." ”
is worthy of Li Shimin, he has already guessed why Xu Maogong is reluctant to continue.
The reason, Chai Shao.
But seeing that Chai Shao's face was flushed at this time, and his eyes were full of shame, this guy's body faintly seemed to be trembling, but he just clenched his hands to maintain restraint.
He can become a generation of famous generals, and he is naturally not an extremely stupid fool.
The words of Li Shimin and Xu Maogong just now are tantamount to revealing a fact that can be broken at the first poke.
Princess Pingyang and other women, how proud and tenacious her personality is, since she has the will to seek death in her heart, even Li Shimin can't persuade her, as a result, Princess Pingyang is still alive now.
Who in the world can make that kind of woman change her mind?
I'm afraid there is nothing but fiery love between men and women.
In other words, the princess met a man during this time, and it was precisely because of this man that the dead knot in the princess's heart was untied.
How did you solve it?
Maybe they'll all fall asleep!
Chai Shao only felt that a green hat was buckled on his head.
