Li You put the letter in his pocket and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's continue on our way." ”

He said to the white tiger, "Come here." So saying, he rode his horse to the side of the road.

The white tiger followed, and Li You muttered in his ear for a while. The white tiger nodded, and Pegasus left.

Besides, Cheng Chuliang and Yu Chi Baoqi, Pegasus came to Chang'an, and they first went home separately and looked for their own mothers. Subsequently, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Gong took Cheng Chuliang and Wei Chi Baoqi to meet Xuan Ling, a scholar of the Ministry of War.

Cheng Chuliang and Wei Chi Baoqi followed Li You to Tuyuhun, not a public assignment, but a private act, and only by going through such a procedure could they present Li You's recital to Li Shimin.

Chongyi Fang, Fangfu.

Hearing that Cheng Yanjin and others asked to see him, Fang Xuanling was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what they were doing with themselves so late.

When he saw Cheng Chuliang and Wei Chi Baoqi, he knew that this matter was related to Li You.

Fang Xuanling was shocked after reading Li You's recital. After carefully questioning Cheng Chuliang and Yu Chi Baoqi, he praised:

"It's incredible, His Royal Highness King Qi is worth 100,000 troops!

Lao Cheng, Wei Chigong, you do have a vision, no wonder you will let the children follow His Royal Highness King Qi to make contributions?!"

Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong both had smug looks on their faces.

After chatting a few words, Fang Xuanling said: "It's getting late today, and tomorrow morning, I will go to see Your Majesty." ”

Cheng Yanjin and the others said goodbye, and after leaving the gate of Chongyi Fang, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but be excited, and said to Wei Chigong: "Da Lao Hei, go, go to my house and have a few drinks, it's really happy!" ”

Wei Chigong smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a good drink, I'll stay at your house at night, haha." ”

Cheng Chuliang and Yu Chi Baoqi followed Cheng Yanjin and Yu Chi Gong towards Cheng Mansion.

The next morning, after the morning court, Fang Xuanling asked to see Li Shimin alone.

Liangyi Palace.

Li Shimin was also shocked after reading Li You's recital. He asked, "Xuan Ling, what do you think?" ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty, to be honest, when the old minister just saw this concerto, he was also shocked, and he didn't believe it at all. However, the old minister carefully inquired about Cheng Chuliang and Wei Chi Baoqi, and deeply admired His Royal Highness King Qi.

Your Majesty, you have a good son!"

Li Shimin sighed: "This kid is really a bastard, he dared to do such a dangerous thing, and he actually did it." Worthy of my son! ”

Fang Xuanling: "Congratulations to Your Majesty. His Royal Highness the King of Qi did not hesitate to risk his life in order to rescue His Royal Highness the King of Shu and those Tang army soldiers. And he was witty and resolute, and he actually fought for such a favorable situation for the imperial court.

Lao Chen couldn't believe that this was done by a 16-year-old child.

Lao Chen once put himself in his shoes, if Lao Chen was in that environment, he would never be able to do this. The old minister was deeply impressed. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Yes, this kid is indeed good, but it is this unstinting character that is worrying."

Let's just say that this time he went to Tuyuhun without authorization, if he said hello in advance, he would have saved a lot of trouble soon? "Now, he admires Li You and hopes that he can be more mature.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, forgive the old minister. If His Royal Highness King Qi asked you for an order at that time, you may not be willing to believe it, and you may not be able to agree. ”

Li Shimin thought about the situation at that time, and he really didn't believe that there would be a coup d'état in Tuyuhun. When he heard that Li You had left Beijing, he asked Hou Junji to send someone to chase him back.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi has made great contributions this time, but he has also caused a lot of trouble, so many people are waiting to impeach and deal with him."

This matter cannot be underestimated, and it cannot be wronged by His Royal Highness King Qi and those who follow him who sacrificed their lives and forgot their lives. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Li You, this kid, is capable, but he will really cause trouble. Let's just say that the matter of his distribution of money to those people is such a sensitive matter that people have grasped the handle.

We still have to think of a proper solution to this matter.

Xuan Ling, you inform me and tell Li You to come to see me immediately after he comes back, I want to hear what he has to say. ”

"Minister, obey the order." Fang Xuanling took his leave.

Shu Wangfu.

Li Ke and Quan Wanji drank a little wine, their faces full of spring breeze.

Quan Wanji was very excited, he said: "Your Highness, this trip to Tuyuhun can be described as a lot of gains, not to mention anything else, your reputation as a hero has become a lifetime of capital, from now on, no one dares to question your loyal and patriotic behavior, no matter what you do, you can do it in a dignified manner, and the first thing in politics is a big right." ”

Li Ke was also very excited, he smiled and said: "The so-called catastrophe will have a blessing if you don't die." Our heroic feat has been recognized by our father and the people of the world, which is indeed a great gain!"

After speaking, he raised his glass and said, "Come, master, celebrate." ”

After Quan Wanji finished drinking, he said: "This time, King Qi robbed his troops, divided his property privately, and colluded with the thief Murong Zun, the crime is not small. In this matter, you can make a good fuss. ”

Regarding the blow caused to him by Li You, Quan Wanji has always been haunted. This time he finally grabbed Li You's handle, how could he let it go?!

Li Ke hesitated a little and said: "The matter of arson robbery and private division of property is a fact. But what is the inside story of his collusion with Murong Zun, we can't grasp it.

Besides, this matter is too serious, this is treason. Li You is my brother after all, if this charge is confirmed. I'm afraid he'll be in danger of his life.

Let's not talk about it. He still cares about brotherhood somewhat.

Quan Wanji said: "Your Highness, you care about your brotherhood, which shows your generosity.

However, you don't want to think about it, in order to make a fortune, King Qi knows that you and your ministers are imprisoned in the palace, and you will be worried about your life at any time. However, he didn't care about our lives and acted recklessly, and as a result, we were taken to the execution ground and almost died.

Think about it, did he care about brotherhood at that time? ”

Li Ke thought of the events on the execution ground, and he was really a little scared in his heart, and couldn't help nodding slightly.

Quan Wanji said: "Your Highness, if the King of Qi really colluded with the thief Murong Zun, it would be treason. That's the most serious violation of national law. This is not a brotherly affection that can be forgiven.

You can't break the law without knowing the law. ”

Li Ke was finally moved by Quan Wanji's words, and he said, "Okay, master, you will be responsible for investigating this matter." ”

Quan Wanji said: "Right now, the easiest thing to catch the handle of King Qi is the looted property, they will definitely transport those goods back to Chang'an, and the minister will send more people to stop these finances, which is ironclad evidence." ”

Li Ke said: "Okay, you can transfer troops from our house and intercept them on the road." ”

Quan Wanji thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, no. What we can think of, King Qi should also be able to think of. The minister guessed that they would not enter the city through the Fanglin Gate, and as for which gate they would take, the minister was not sure.

Therefore, you try to find more people to come and deploy at various gates to prevent them from sneaking into Chang'an City. ”

"This ......" Li Ke was a little embarrassed.

Chang'an City is huge, with a total of eleven gates, which requires a large number of people.

He thought for a while and said, "Master, you go to Chai Zhewei and ask him to send troops to assist you." ”

Chai Zhewei is the eldest son of Li Yuan's concubine Xianggong Chai Shao, and is Li Ke's sworn friend, and he is currently the general of the right Xiaowei Zhonglang.

"Minister, let's go and set it up." Quan Wanji hurriedly left after receiving the order.

Zhang Guigui, Hou Cheng and Li Duan, escorting the carriage loaded with money and jewelry, marched all the way, and finally returned to Chang'an City.

Looking at the tall Chang'an City Tower in the distance, Zhang Guigui was full of joy and said, "Brothers, Chang'an has arrived, go home!"
