Chapter 829: Assassination
Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin that there is still a lot of land in the southwest, Li Shimin heard it, looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile, and said: "You kid likes to open up land very much!" ”
When Qin Huaidao heard this, he didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, just think about it, when the time comes, my Datang will have a population of 10,000 people, and the land with such a large territory will all be connected by straight roads, you say, the whole world, who can still shake our Datang,
And we Datang have land, and there is so much grain, and if we have grain and land, the people will not rebel, and then the foundation of our Datang will be passed on forever.
And Erchen, hehe, but Grandpa Guo, when my children and grandchildren mention our generation, they will give a thumbs up and say, it is still the people who were so powerful in the Zhenguan period that they know that it is enough for them to toss so much land for future generations! ”
"You kid, you're thinking about a few hundred years from now?" Li Shimin heard it, looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said.
"Of course, we can't let future generations scold us, can we? has such a good opportunity, don't get more things for them, and in the future, our people in Datang don't know how to scold us.
So, you still have to do something, father, don't worry, when the time comes, our Datang will definitely be the strongest country in the world, not to mention those nomads, even if the people of the world are combined, they will not be our opponents! Qin Huaidao smiled and said to Li Shimin,
Li Shimin nodded with a smile when he heard it, and then said to Qin Huaidao: "Peping, tomorrow my father is going to see your ship, if it can really work, then the battle against Goryeo is simple!" ”
"Cheng, but now the big boat can't be launched, the small boat can, there is still a lot of water on this side of the Wei River, it is estimated that it will not be able to wait until the beginning of spring, after the ice and snow melt!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and said.
"Okay, let's check it out tomorrow!" Li Shimin nodded and said, and then the two of them talked about other things,
After a while, Qin Daniu came over and brought Qin Huaidao a meal, after eating, Qin Huaidao went outside, Li Shimin specially arranged for someone to get two stools for Qin Huaidao to be together, and also got a quilt, the meaning is very simple, Qin Huaidao can sleep outside the door, no need to stand all the time.
"Or you kid is comfortable, you see, it's all ready for you, we are on duty that is the vigil!" Cheng said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"Hey, I'm wondering, why am I on duty today?" Qin Huaidao looked at Chen Cheng's heir and asked.
"Today was originally Chai Lingwu on duty, Chai Lingwu has something to do, he wants to have a child at home, so he asked for leave, Your Majesty thought about who to come, thought about it, or let you come, you come Your Majesty rest assured, in addition, a few days ago, something happened in the palace, it doesn't feel very good!" Cheng said in a low voice.
"What's the matter?" Qin Huaidao looked at Cheng Zhihei in confusion and said.
"There is a palace maid who wants to assassinate His Majesty, and after a check, this palace maid is actually a Goryeo, and she has been lurking in our Tang Dynasty for a long time, and the harem is also investigating now, and the people who let this palace maid in before are now unlucky!" Cheng Zhiji whispered to Qin Huaidao.
"How is it possible for the Koreans to assassinate His Majesty?" When Qin Huaidao heard this, he looked at him in shock.
"Don't believe it, do you? We don't believe it either, but that's the case, now His Majesty is digging up these people, and I want to know how many people are from Goryeo to Chang'an! Cheng continued to speak to Qin Huaidao.
"It's impossible, Goryeo has been able to plan for so long? Do you dare to lurk in Chang'an City? Qin Huaidao was still very puzzled.
"Don't think about it so much, since that's the case, that's the way!" Cheng Zhisi looked at Qin Huaidao and said, Qin Huaidao heard it and turned his head to look at Cheng Zhihe.
"There are some things that need to be listened to by Your Majesty!" Cheng Zhiji reminded Qin Huaidao and said, Qin Huaidao nodded, but he was even more curious in his heart, he actually dared to assassinate His Majesty,
If it is true, then it is not just the Goryeo people behind it, Qin Huaidao didn't dare to think about it, Qin Huaidao sat outside for a while, and began to prepare for sleep,
And in Qin Huaidao's mansion, Wu Mei always felt a little wrong, it stands to reason that there is no reason to let Qin Huaidao be on duty at this time, he knows that now Qin Huaidao's reward has not come down, and it has been passed on again, and he wants to continue to seal the two princes of Qin Huaidao's mansion,
When these words came out, Wu Mei was very worried, and she was also very scared, she originally thought that when Qin Huaidao came back, she would go to Qin Huaidao to talk about it, these two princes couldn't accept it, but I didn't expect that after Qin Huaidao went to the palace, he didn't come back for a day today.
And said that she was going to be on duty at the palace, which made her a little worried.
Early the next morning, after Qin Huaidao woke up, he was going to work in Dali Temple, after all, there was still something to do, and in a few days, Qin Huaidao planned to take the troops of the third division to the north to practice, so he needed to deal with the things at hand, and Cheng Zhihei was also on duty, and Wei Chi Baolin came over to be on duty.
"Let's go, let's go back together!" Cheng Chusi said to Qin Huaidao.
"I can't go back now, there's a lot more to do!" Qin Huaidao looked at Cheng Huaidao and said, Cheng Zhisi heard it, and immediately put his arm around Qin Huaidao's shoulders and whispered.
"Go to your house and tell me about the assassination of Your Majesty."
"Ah, okay!" When Qin Huaidao heard this, he immediately nodded, and soon, Qin Huaidao took Cheng Chuhei to his house, and asked his subordinates to prepare food, and Qin Huaidao and they went to the study.
"It's not that simple?" Qin Huaidao looked at Cheng Chuji and asked.
"It's definitely not that simple, this palace maid has been in the palace for almost five years, and there was no problem with the previous investigation, but this time, it was suddenly difficult, and I was next to me at the beginning, and when I saw that her expression was wrong, I immediately stared at her,
Seeing that she took out a short knife, I kicked it out, otherwise, Your Majesty would be in danger, I wanted to capture the palace maid alive, but he died, he actually had poison hidden in his mouth, this is the practice of dead soldiers! Cheng said to Qin Huaidao.
"Well, how do you know she's Korean?" When Qin Huaidao heard this, he looked at Cheng Chuhei strangely.
"Before he died, the palace maid shouted a few words, in Goryeo, so I knew that he was a Goryeo, but His Majesty knew, I'm afraid it may not be, so he announced that he was a Goryeo, but in fact, he was already secretly investigating!" Cheng Zhiji looked at Qin Huaidao and said, Qin Huaidao heard it, nodded, and stood up thinking about it.
"There is no reason to assassinate Your Majesty at this time!" Qin Huaidao stood there, looked at Cheng Chuhei and asked.
"Whether there is a reason or not, but this is a fact, you can tell me, if it is not Korean, who will it be? If yes, then who is their answer? Cheng continued to speak to Qin Huaidao.
"Who knows, who dares to say this?" When Qin Huaidao heard this, he immediately looked at Cheng Chuji and said with a wry smile.
"Let's guess, Your Majesty hid this matter, and it was very well hidden, that is, the people in the Chengtian Palace knew, but you also know, the harem also received the news, and the outside still doesn't know, the people who can mobilize the harem can meddle in the affairs of the harem, think about it? How many people can there be? Cheng looked at Qin Huaidao and continued.
When Qin Huaidao heard it, he stared at him: "What do you want to say?" ”
"Hey, you, this matter, I guess it must have something to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or His Royal Highness King Wu!" Cheng Zhiji whispered to Qin Huaidao.
"Impossible!" When Qin Huaidao heard this, he immediately shouted loudly.
"Be quiet!" Cheng Zhihei heard it, and immediately glared at Qin Huaidao and said.
"How is that possible? His Royal Highness and King Wu, they dare to assassinate His Majesty, don't die, there is no reason, first say Your Highness, the crown prince's position has been stabilized, why should he take this risk?
His Royal Highness King Wu, what if he killed His Majesty? He can go up, it's not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why would he do such a stupid thing? Qin Huaidao looked at Cheng Chuhei and said.
"Yes, it's stupid to look at, but there are real benefits, you think, if Your Majesty dies, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most profitable, and now His Majesty is at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, who knows how many years it will take to do that? Can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait so many years?
And King Wu, if he kills His Majesty, can he say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did it, if he has the opportunity at this moment, kill His Royal Highness the Prince, you say, who is this throne? Could it be your disciple Li Ju's, is it possible? Cheng looked at Qin Huaidao and asked in a low voice.
"I said are you crazy, how could such a thing happen?" Qin Huaidao still didn't believe it, how could the two of them do such a thing.
"Don't think it's impossible, it was me and Chai Lingwu on duty during the day yesterday, and the two of us also discussed it in a whisper, and it was only the two of them!" Cheng Zhiji looked at Qin Huaidao and whispered.
"I don't believe it, there is no motive, there is no reason!" Qin Huaidao shook his head again and said.
"If you don't believe it, forget it, you have to be careful about this matter anyway!" Cheng said to Qin Huaidao,
Qin Huaidao heard it and nodded,
Soon, the maids sent breakfast, Qin Huaidao and Cheng Zhisi ate in the study, anyway, here, Cheng Zhisi didn't treat himself as an outsider, after eating, Cheng Zhisi went back to sleep,
And Qin Huaidao was also preparing to go to Dali Temple.
"Sir, you want to go out?" Just as Qin Huaidao opened the door, Wu Mei came over with a smile and said to Qin Huaidao.
"Something? I was going to go to Dali Temple, come in and say! Qin Huaidao said and gave way to the position and let Wu Mei come in.
"Master, why were you on duty in the palace yesterday, and besides, the concubine also heard that His Majesty intends to reward you with the titles of two dukes, but is it true?" After Wu Mei closed the door, she asked Qin Huaidao anxiously.
