Chapter 44: The Emperor's Worries
Chapter 44
This year's wheat is growing well, and it looks like it will be a good harvest.
And in the distance came a troop of cavalry.
Qin Huaidao turned his head to look and saw that it was the troops of the left guard, so he ignored it.
However, Qin Huaidao's family soldiers have all found their horses now, and once they feel that something is wrong, they will immediately turn over their horses and prepare for battle.
They also knew that it was impossible for the enemy to be so stupid and dare to come to the village to kill people, after all, the villagers in this village were all Qin Huaidao's food towns, they dared to attack Qin Huaidao, and those food towns were not desperate?
"It's the eldest young master of the Cheng family!" The housekeeper saw the person clearly, and immediately said to Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao smiled and greeted him.
And Cheng Chuhei took the cavalry to Qin Huaidao and dismounted.
"Brother Cheng, you came here in armor, isn't it hot?" Qin Huaidao looked at Cheng Chusi with a smile and asked.
"Hot, no way, Your Majesty has an edict for you, take it!" Cheng Chusi said and handed a piece of music to Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao picked it up and looked at it, and after reading it, he laughed.
"Your kid did a beautiful job this time, when Your Majesty heard that King Wei came out of your mansion, you personally sent him out of the mansion, Your Majesty smiled, and then wrote you this edict, but it is not a holy decree!" Cheng Chusi and Qin Huaidao walked side by side towards the village, and Cheng Chusi said with a smile.
"Well, Your Majesty also praised me in the edict, ha, talk about this matter, this is the end!" Qin Huaidao smiled and said with the piece of music.
"Well, that's what Your Majesty meant, Your Majesty said that you must understand what he meant, but, hmph, forget it, there are many people here, so I won't talk about it, anyway, this matter, King Wei is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot!" Cheng said with a sneer.
Then they arrived at the warehouse, and Qin Huaidao's maid took off his armor for Cheng Chuhei, and at the same time brought ice cubes, and also sent some cucumbers and ice cubes, and made some vinegar and brown sugar to eat.
There are also some pears, plums and other melons and fruits, all sent here.
"This matter, Your Majesty is still on your side, don't worry about it, yesterday I saw King Wei leaving the palace in embarrassment, and my heart was really cool, but if you want to deal with King Wei, there is no need.
He, unless he can be the crown prince, is a vassal king, and sooner or later he will become a vassal king, and in the future, he really doesn't necessarily have the strength of ours.
After all, the Sixteen Guards are all controlled by our family, and when you are worried, you will also go to Zuo Wuwei, you also know that your father has always been the general of Zuo Wuwei, and there are many Uncle Qin's generals there.
If you go to Zuo Wuwei, it is basically equivalent to going home, plus this time His Majesty asked you to be in charge of the paper mill and hang it in the Ministry of Industry, what are you afraid of, in the future, the vassal kings will have no power at all, unless it is on their own territory! Cheng said to Qin Huaidao.
He hoped that Qin Huaidao would not seek revenge on King Wei first, now was not the time, and when Li Shimin was gone and the new emperor ascended the throne, there would be a chance to deal with him.
"I know, I understand, Brother Cheng can rest assured!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile to Cheng Chuhei.
"That's good! Now the paper mill has also stopped working, and the big pit has been dug a lot, listen to you, and get a few weeds and branches in the big pit. I hope it will be successful this time, but the factory building over there has not yet been built, and after the wheat harvest, we still need to hurry up! Cheng sat there and said to Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao heard it, nodded, and the two of them sat there and chatted about the paper mill for a while.
At noon, Cheng Zhisi ate at Zhuangzi's side, and when it was not too hot in the afternoon, Qin Huaidao and Cheng Zhisi returned to the city together.
When he arrived at the house, Qin Huaidao had been sitting in the study and writing.
And on the emperor's side, King Wei came to look for him, in fact, Li Shimin had long known that King Wei had gone to find Qin Huaidao, and he also knew that Qin Huaidao had sent King Wei out.
Li Shimin saw King Wei coming, retreated left and right, and then looked at King Wei.
"Erchen has gone to the Hu Guogong Mansion and explained the matter to him, and he has forgiven Erchen! The sons and daughters are confused, please atone for your father's sins! King Wei knelt there and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded and motioned for him to stand up.
King Wei stood up tremblingly and looked at Li Shimin.
"This matter, you are confused, you still need to continue to mend the relationship with the generals, my father knows that you are close to those literati, but the generals can't be alienated.
Of course, they may not bother with you, but they don't dare to get involved in this matter, but if they object, it will be troublesome, so at least you can't let the generals oppose you! Li Shimin sat there and said in a softened tone.
Now that King Wei is still useful, he can't dispel his enthusiasm at once.
"Yes, Erchen knows, thank you for your father's teachings!" King Wei stood there and arched his hands.
"Okay, then you go down first!" Li Shimin nodded at this moment and said to King Wei.
"Yes, the retainers are retired!" When the king of Wei saw that his father had nothing to say to him, he retreated.
Now I just want my father to know that he has reconciled with Qin Huaidao.
King Wei believed in his heart that compared to Qin Huaidao, he was still more important in his father's heart, after all, he was his father's distressed son.
After King Wei withdrew, Li Shimin sighed deeply and sat there in a daze.
The crown prince will not succeed, and the king of Wei will not succeed, now it depends on Li Zhi, but Li Zhi is too weak, whether he can suppress the family, I don't know yet!
"Hey, I still need to do this well!" Li Shimin sighed, then stood up, walked out of the main hall of the Ganlu Hall with his hands behind his back, and when he arrived outside the door, he found that the heat wave was rolling outside!
"Where's the child?" After Li Shimin went out, he asked Wei Chi Baolin on duty.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jin seems to be in the study, right?" Yu Chi Baolin said.
Li Shimin nodded, walked to Li Zhi's study, pushed open the study, and saw Li Zhi holding something and watching.
"See what?" Li Shimin smiled kindly, looked at Li Zhi and asked.
"The son of the emperor to meet his father!" Li Zhi immediately saluted.
Li Shimin motioned for him to get up and took what Li Zhi was looking at.
"It's the machinery that needs to be made at the paper mill, it's all the things that carpenters and blacksmiths need to make, and Erchen doesn't know what to do with them, these drawings have been built, and according to Qin Huaidao's requirements, enough quantities have been made.
However, now the officials on the Ministry of Industry want to study these drawings, and Erchen thinks that this matter may need Qin Huaidao's consent, after all, this is Qin Huaidao's hard work!
In addition, Erchen is also worried that such drawings may be unfavorable to the confidentiality of the paper mill, so Erchen is worried and does not know what to do! Li Zhi stood up and spoke to his father.
Li Shimin heard it, looked at it casually, then nodded and said: "You ask Qin Huaidao, but you are right to consider keeping things secret, such mechanical drawings must be dedicated to paper mills, so it is better not to circulate them!" ”
After finishing speaking, Li Shimin gave those drawings to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi took it and put it away.
"Make me some tea!" Li Shimin said to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi helped his father to sit down and began to sit in front of the tea table to make tea.
"Do you know about Qin Huaidao's attack?" Li Shimin sat there, looked at Li Zhi who was making tea and asked.
"Erchen knew that Erchen originally wanted to visit, but Brother Cheng said that Qin Huaidao was fine, and now he is very sensitive, so Erchen didn't go, but Erchen entrusted Brother Cheng yesterday, and after he was on duty, he would bring a good message to Peping for me!" Li Zhi said to his father.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
"Do you know who did this?" Li Shimin then looked at Li Zhi and asked.
Li Zhi heard it and shook his head, in fact, he knew that there were rumors in the market, and there were rumors in the palace, it was impossible for him not to know.
As soon as Li Shimin saw him like this, he knew that he knew.
"Hey, the paper mill involves the interests of too many people, Yu Nu, in the future, not only will he be remembered, but you, will be remembered, but be prepared!" Li Shimin sighed, looked at Li Zhi and said.
"Erchen is not afraid, as soon as this matter began, Erchen understood that he would definitely face a lot of pressure, Erchen had no other ability, but the paper factory, Erchen still hoped to be able to share his father's worries, if he really couldn't bear it, there would be you, father!" Li Zhi heard it, looked at his father with a smile and said.
Li Shimin heard it and nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, in the East Palace, a young man sat on the soft collapse, with a proud face, this young man was very similar to Li Shimin, but his face was much more immature!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's confirmed, it was King Wei who did it! Early this morning, King Wei went to Qin Huaidao's mansion and apologized to Qin Huaidao! A young man dressed as a scholar came to Qin Huaidao's side and arched his hand and said.
"Lone knows, hum, look for death!" The young man was really the crown prince of the dynasty, Li Chengqian, and after hearing this person's report, he sneered.
"Your Highness, you should go to Your Majesty's side, say that you will strictly investigate this matter, and give Qin Huaidao an explanation, I believe that Your Majesty will definitely investigate King Wei strictly at that time."
Moreover, looking at the current situation, it is Your Majesty's intention to conceal this matter, Your Highness, you should not poke this matter out, this will be in the best interest of Your Highness! The young man looked at Li Chengqian and suggested, and looked at Li Chengqian with a smile after he finished speaking.
"No, now the rumors in the market are actually better, poke it open, but it's not good, my father prefers Qingque, I stabbed it, my father punished him, after a few days, it's okay again, but it's not good, so let's go, let's go to the market to spread the news, just say that the prince of this dynasty colluded with the Tubo people and assassinated the grandfather of the country!" Li Chengqian looked at the young man with a sneer and said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The young man heard it and looked at Li Chengqian with a smile.
"Lonely, I really want to meet this Qin Huaidao!" Li Chengqian stood up as he spoke, limping along, a little more curious about Qin Huaidao in his heart.
