Yuan Tiangang wisely didn't answer the conversation, as if he hadn't heard, and continued to take care of himself: "The day after the assassination, the King of Qi learned that the matter was revealed and hurt His Majesty, so he was so frightened that he fled to his uncle Yin Hongzhi's house, wanting Yin Hongzhi to send a message to the palace to Concubine Yin Niangniang and take him into the palace for refuge. But before Yin Hongzhi could enter the palace, the brocade guards sent by the Marquis of Zhulu had already blocked the door——"

"Oh?" Li Shimin looked at Yuan Tiangang, his expression was unclear, and he couldn't see his joy or anger. Yuan Tiangang's heart tightened in vain, and he continued stubbornly: "Jinyiwei handed over a box to King Qi by name, and opened it in front of him, and inside was the head of the knife and spear sect who was chopped into minced meat, and only one head was left to identify the identity. King Qi was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot, and he almost lost his soul......"

Li Shimin's face was expressionless, and only Yuan Tiangang's voice echoed in the hall: "Jinyiwei also helped the Marquis of Zhulu to bring a message to the King of Qi, saying: The last time the King of Qi made a mistake, he looked at the face of the concubine, he let go of a horse, this time the King of Qi made a mistake again, for the sake of His Majesty, he spared his life again." If there is a next time, don't blame him for not being emotional, and let King Qi do it himself. ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "This kid, I've taken care of my son-" He looked at Yuan Tiangang and asked, "Is this the original words?" Didn't add oil and vinegar, right? ”

Yuan Tiangang hurriedly said: "How the spies come to report, the minister will report to His Majesty, and there is absolutely no fabrication." ”

Li Shimin was silent for a moment and said, "I know, you continue to talk about the matter of the heir hall." ”

"No." Yuan Tiangang couldn't wait to change the topic and talk about the prince's affairs, which made him feel very stressed: "Your Majesty, the minister has already found out that the person who stabbed His Majesty is the person who succeeded him. The assassin of the Jihetang had a fundamentally different purpose from the other nine, he was not going to chase the deer marquis, he was going to His Majesty. Ruochen's guess was correct, his purpose was to assassinate His Majesty, and then blame the Marquis of Zhulu, in order to achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone. But ......" Yuan Tiangang peeked at Li Shimin's expression and said: "The minister is incompetent, only found out that this assassin is from Lizhou, and there are no clues to the rest." ”

"Lizhou ......" Li Shimin muttered again, and said: "Aiqing doesn't have to blame herself, if the heir hall is so easy to investigate, I don't have to worry about it." After being silent for a while, Li Shimin said again: "When the Lizhou Governor Wushi Tong once raised troops for the Emperor Taishang, Kubu Langzhong was the confidant of the Emperor Taishang, under his jurisdiction, how could there be a person from the heir hall?" ”

Yuan Tiangang chewed Li Shimin's words, raised his head in shock, and saw that Li Shimin's face was cloudy, and beads of sweat like beans were soaked on his forehead.

"Aiqing, let's go to Lizhou."

"No."

Yuan Tiangang left from the secret passage, and Gonggong Gao gently pushed open the door of the hall and flashed in.

"Your Majesty."

Li Shimin had already collected his emotions and said, "How is it, what did they say?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty......" Gao Gonggong couldn't help but smile and learned Li Mu's words vividly, thanks to his age, his memory is quite good, and he basically learned eighty or ninety. Li Shimin was originally in a gloomy mood, but when he heard Li Mu's words repeated by Gonggong Gao, he became happy again, and kept asking Li Mu if he really said that? There are also everyone's reactions, and they are even more happy to hear that Wei Zheng is deflated.

After listening to Gonggong Gao's retelling, Li Shimin laughed enough, sighed, and said, "The longer I am the emperor, the more lonely I become. I often feel that no one can understand me, but today I listened to Li Mu's words, I am very pleased, Li Mu understands me, he understands my suffering. I finally understood why he said that he had never thought of being an emperor, that he was a transparent person, and that I was not as good as him. ”

Gonggong Gao also echoed: "Zhuluhou is indeed a very smart person, this time he used a little trick to calculate all the officials." ”

"Yes, even I have calculated it."

Gao Gonggong didn't understand what Li Shimin meant, and subconsciously cast a puzzled look, but Li Shimin didn't explain, just smiled and said: "Don't talk about this, let Li Mu toss, go, rest in the Lizheng Hall tonight, call Concubine Yin and Concubine Yang to come, play a few rounds of mahjong, I haven't played for a long time, my hands are itchy!" ”

Gao Gonggong bowed slightly: "No." ”

……

Early in the morning, Li Mu got up from the bed. Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound in the yard, rubbed my eyes and came to the window, and saw Changsun Chong holding a broom to sweep the snow in the yard.

Li Mu put on a bear and came to the courtyard, and the eldest grandson stopped to salute him, and then prepared to work again.

Li Mu beckoned, and the eldest grandson Chong put the broom aside and came to Li Mu.

"Do you know what has happened in the past few days?"

"Teacher, I know it in my heart."

"Do you remember what the teacher told you, the word timing?"

"The teacher's teachings, Changsun Chong never dares to forget." After that, the eldest grandson Chong took out a letter from his arms, presented it to Li Mu with both hands, and said: "This is a letter written by Tu'er in the past few days, together with King Yue and Lu Wenfeng of Yubu Langzhong, who has checked the tax accounts and the number of fields of the Ministry of Civil Affairs since His Majesty ascended the throne. ”

Li Mu took it and opened it and glanced at it, then returned it to the eldest grandson Chong, and said, "The words are not sharp enough, as my eldest disciple, you should have at least five things to do as a teacher." The tone is soft like this, it's a shame to be a teacher! Do you understand? This is the same as bargaining, the first knife must be ruthless, and then it is easy to bargain. If you come up and ask people for a penny, what kind of strength can you have? ”

"I understand, so I'll go back and change it."

The eldest grandson Chong turned around to leave, but Li Mu stopped him again, and he pointed to the snow on the ground: "Let's go after sweeping!" ”

Changsun Chong had no choice but to continue sweeping the floor, Li Mu yawned, and went back to sleep. From today on, he's going to be an idler who eats and waits for death, and he has to let the young man do it, he just dug such a big pit, although he hasn't reacted to the pit now, but it won't last long, and when he reacts, they're all running for him, which is also quite annoying, or pull a few more into the water, and it's good to disperse a little firepower.

The eldest grandson Chong finished sweeping the yard, the cook also made breakfast, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien waited for Li Mu to get up, and after washing, Li Mu, the old teacher, also made an exception to give a face, and asked the eldest grandson to sit down and eat together, but it was also endless, and the eldest grandson Chong drank two bowls of porridge with a sullen head, and ran away.

"Let's go, let's go into the city too." Li Mu shouted a brocade guard to set up a carriage, took his wife and concubine, and entered the city under the protection of more than ten brocade guards. Such a big thing just happened, he should also go to visit his mother, meet Wang Ou, and visit the emperor. Moreover, the matter of recruiting a maid before the assassin's incident has not been done, and there are many things that need to be done by him himself, and it is difficult to stop for a while.

……

In the blink of an eye, another two days have passed. Yesterday, Li Shimin had already resumed the early dynasty, and everyone seemed to be deliberately avoiding the assassin's matter, as if nothing had happened.

However, what happened happened happened, and it is impossible to pretend that it didn't happen. Li Shimin doesn't mention it, there are always people who want to mention it. This person is Wei Zheng, Niu Jinda and Li Daozong left Gyeonggi with tens of thousands of guards, and they can't imagine what impact it will have on the local community. So after two days of calm, Wei Zheng finally couldn't help but mention this matter in front of the palace, and wanted Li Shimin to make an order to recall the two people.

“…… Your Majesty, the land where the army passes, people eat horses and chew, the cost is incalculable, and the nuisance of the people is inevitable, spring ploughing is imminent, please be considerate of the people, and the empty army of Gyeonggi is also a hidden danger, recall the army as soon as possible. ”

Many imperial historians echoed it, and Li Shimin squinted at Wei Zheng, feeling so unhappy. After dealing with Wei Zheng for so many years, what Li Shimin admires most about Wei Zheng is his cheek, this guy's cheek is really thick. No matter how embarrassing things happen, how many things that can't come to the stage, others are embarrassed for him, and he himself is embarrassed. It's only been three days, and he seems to have forgotten all the troubles, and he still looks like he is righteous, so people don't know what to say.

Li Shimin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and glanced at the end of the main hall, where a young man stood near the door. Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and thought that he had seen it wrong, but after a closer look, he was not mistaken, it was his eldest nephew, Sun Chong, who was quite surprised, and said, "That...... The person standing at the gate of the temple, but the eldest grandson Chong? ”

Hearing this, all the officials turned their heads to look back, and sure enough, at the entrance of the hall, there was a young man in a green robe. In the Liangyi Palace, at least it must be above the fifth grade, and this green robe is really rare. Moreover, many people's impression of Changsun Chong was still stuck when he was fat, and suddenly saw the thin Changsun Chong, and he was stunned for a moment before he recognized it. coincidentally, they all looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and they all appeared here as the eldest grandson Chong, which was arranged by the eldest grandson Wuji.

Changsun Wuji was also stunned when he saw Changsun Chong, and when he saw the gaze of his colleagues, he had to smile bitterly and shook his head gently, indicating that he didn't know either.

Eldest Sun Chong walked out of the queue, his level was not enough, there was no wat board, so he stood still and replied loudly: "Elder Sun Chong, please meet Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "No courtesy, Chong'er, why are you here?" Oh, I almost forgot, you are also an official of the Internal Affairs Office now, I have read the list presented by Li Mu, with your name, which yamen are you from? ”

"The minister was assigned to the Imperial Property Bureau by his teacher."

Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the Imperial Property Bureau, I remembered." But ......" Li Shimin frowned slightly and said, "Why did you appear in the Liangyi Palace?" ”

Li Shimin's meaning is obvious, a six-grade, without a calling, how can he be qualified to enter the temple? He looked at Gonggong Gao, who leaned sideways and whispered: "Your Majesty, he is here to report on behalf of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he should have come by himself, but ......"

Gao Gonggong lowered his voice and said, "He has been playing mahjong with the Emperor Taishang for the past two days, so he's-"

"Nonsense!"

Li Shimin scolded in a low voice, resumed his smile, and the eldest grandson said, "Your teacher asked you to come?" He's really getting more and more nonsense, I'm going to punish him, okay, don't talk about him, Chong'er, come on, what's the matter to start? ”

The eldest grandson Chong took out a letter from his arms, and everyone was very surprised. In their opinion, the eldest grandson Chong is a junior, and he is still a child who has not grown up, and he actually took out a letter of recital, which really seems to be the case. These people have obviously forgotten the fact that Eldest Sun Chong is two years older than Li Mu. Maybe in their hearts, Li Mu has already unconsciously become a subconscious equal to them, and he doesn't treat him as a child anymore.

Gao Gonggong took the fold and presented it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Chong, opened the recital and looked at it, at first he didn't think so, the more he looked at it, the more serious his face became, and finally he was already furious!

"It's so deceitful! The deception is too great! Li Shimin threw the fold on the ground and said angrily: "I'm so stupid! Damn the gates, the hateful clan! If I don't make an example of a hundred people, I will change my surname in this world! ”

All the officials were blinded, they didn't understand what was wrong with Li Shimin, what was written on this fold, it made him so angry, and he shouted and shouted to kill.

"Wei Zheng, you pick up the fold! Look good! ”

Wei Zheng bent down to pick up the fold, only half of it was seen, and his face turned pale. The doubts that had been in place for many days were answered at this moment, and he finally understood what he had been unable to figure out, Li Mu's killing move was here, and now was the time to see the poor dagger. It's funny that he didn't even see it at all. Moreover, Li Mu's arrogance reached such a point that at such a critical moment, he didn't even come forward, but just sent an apprentice over. Is this mockery?

"Wei Zheng, what do you say? It's not that I don't know that the number of fields of the Gate Valve Clan is wrong, I just don't want to care, so I just turn a blind eye. But I didn't expect that the gate valve clan would deceive me so much, there are ten or seventy percent of the fields in the world, and the taxes they pay are only less than two percent! Ha! It is said that within the four seas is not the king's land, where is the king's land, I am only less than thirty percent! It's all yours! All right! That's great! ”

Only then did the hundred officials hear a little truth, it turned out that the matter was revealed, and they knelt together. Youyu Shi didn't kneel, and said with a stalk around his neck: "Your Majesty, the previous dynasty is also-"

Li Shimin glared angrily: "The previous dynasty has fallen, what do you mean, do you want to tell me that the Tang Dynasty will also die like the previous dynasty?" ”

Yushi knelt down and bowed his head silently.

Li Shimin came to Wei Zheng, looked into his eyes, and said, "I have been tolerant again and again, but I have been treated as a joke again and again. Wei Zheng, I ask you, it's true that I want to be a Ming Jun, but if I want to be a Ming Jun, will I be humiliated like this? ”

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words for a long time: "Back to Your Majesty, naturally you don't need it." ”

"I'm asking you, can the law of the Tang Dynasty be abolished?"

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth: "The law must not be abolished. ”

"Then do it according to the law!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng's expression, almost laughed out loud, held back, and said: "Wei Zheng, this matter will be handed over to you, half a month time limit, if you can't do it well, I will go on a killing spree!" ”
