Chapter 867: Raising a Tiger on a Couch

Li Su suddenly felt so happy......

Being praised by Zheng Xiaolou, who was stuffy with a coffin face, was so happy that he just wanted to explode on the spot, although he only said "good" lightly, Li Su also felt that these two words hit the heart more directly than a thousand words of sycophants.

With such a powerful compliment, Li Suzhen really had the urge to hug his thighs and be grateful, and he didn't know why he suddenly had such a trembling emotion......

"A few more praises...... Li Su looked at Zheng Xiaolou excitedly, his eyes full of expectation and encouragement.

Zheng Xiaolou was stunned for a moment, then sneered, and continued to put a coffin face.

Well, be content......

…………

…………

After the results of the trial, the next thing to do is, of course, to present the situation in person.

To be honest, Li Su is really reluctant to meet Li Shimin, especially today, at this time.

Before he was assassinated today, Li Shimin was still intoxicated with the vanity of his heavenly khan who was in power in the world, who knew that the smug smile had not disappeared, and the reality immediately slapped him hard, and someone dared to stab him, this slap was really painful and sad.

It can be imagined how angry Li Shimin is, Li Su is very reluctant to take the initiative to touch his moldy head at this time, a bad response, his head is not very stable, although Li Shimin has advertised countless times that he is a wise and martial emperor, and he is by no means a faint monarch, however, Li Su's head is so precious, how can he pin the hope of survival in the emperor's advertisement? In particular, creatures like emperors have always been powerful in acting, and who knows how sincere they are in what they say?

Didn't want to go, but had to.

Li Su unconsciously walked to the tent, stood outside and pondered for a moment, and after organizing the wording in his mind, he invited the guards on duty at the door to come in and play.

It didn't take long for Chang Tu to come out, walking slowly towards Li Su step by step, Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Li Zizheng has seen Chang Companion."

often paints his face white and beardless, maybe he does some unsightly things for Li Shimin all the year round, the whole person's expression is particularly gloomy, he opens his mouth and smiles, and the laughter is as ugly as a night owl.

"Li Xiangong is a young hero, it's amazing......" Chang Tu Hehe laughed twice, and his laughter was as hoarse as a crack.

Li Su laughed, but he was puzzled in his heart, he really couldn't figure out whether Chang Tu's words were sarcastic, or if he was originally speaking with this virtue, looking up at his face, he couldn't see the clue.

It is also Li Su's weak heart, when Feng Du was assassinated, Li Su secretly laid out the whole case, and the court and the court were led by his nose for more than half a month, as the eagle dog Chang Tu who was directly subordinate to Li Shimin, because of Li Su's deliberate misdirection, Chang Tu didn't know how many wrongful roads he took when investigating the case, and how much he was scolded by Li Shimin in vain, if Chang Tu was faintly aware of the truth of this case, his words could be regarded as ridicule at this moment, and he had enough reasons to ridicule.

"Your Majesty rested just now, and has not woken up yet, Li Xiangong should know that His Majesty has been tired for a long time, and he has to deal with military affairs after setting up camp...... Let's let Your Majesty rest a little longer, if Li Xiangong has something important to do, he might as well wait here for a while, how about it? ”

Li Su hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has a dragon body, you should rest more, Li is waiting here, and he is always accompanied by labor." ”

Chang Tu shook his head with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty is asleep, the old man doesn't have to serve, and he is idle if he is idle, it is better to wait with Li County Gong, Li County Gong doesn't dislike the old man." ”

Li Su hurriedly smiled: "The lower officials can't ask for it, how dare they dislike it." ”

Chang Tu snorted, nodded, and said, "Li Xiangong came in a hurry, could it be that he took something out of the mouths of those god-killing assassins?" ”

Li Su said with a smile: "I took out a little bit, it's not much, think about it, it's better to play Your Majesty first, lest Your Majesty get angry and spoil the dragon body." ”

Chang Tu's eyes lit up, and he praised: "He is worthy of being a young hero valued by His Majesty, and His Majesty has never disappointed him in any errand handed over to you. ”

This is the advantage of Chang Tu, he only expressed his admiration to Li Su, but never mentioned the specific content of the interrogation, accompanied by Li Shimin all the year round, Chang Tu's advance and retreat are very self-aware, what he should know, he must know, what he shouldn't know, he doesn't ask a word.

With such a character in the world, you can live long by the emperor's side.

The atmosphere is a little stiff, Li Su is not familiar with Chang Tu on weekdays, and rarely has dealings, and Li Su naturally does not have much good impression of people like eunuchs, mainly because Li Su has a habit of cleanliness, and as we all know, eunuchs can't shake cleanly, so when I get close and smell it, it's all a smell......

Fortunately, Chang Tu should be regarded as a eunuch who loves cleanliness, Li Su stood not far from him, and did not smell any peculiar smell, of course, this does not mean that Li Su must be close to him, not to talk about hygiene, just the gloomy temperament on Chang Tu's body makes Li Su very uncomfortable, Li Su loves the sun, and Chang Tu undoubtedly crawled out of the gutter, and everyone has not much common language.

The two stood outside the tent, showing friendly and warm smiles to each other, and Li Su's face stiffened with a smile.

"Always accompanied, haha, the weather is good today......" Li Su forced an awkward chat.

Chang Tu nodded calmly: "Hmm." ”

"Have you had dinner?"

"Hmm."

"The climate in Jizhou is really different from our Chang'an......"

"Hmm...... That, Li County Gong. ”

"Ah, Li is here."

The corner of Chang Tu's mouth hooked slightly: "There is something unclear about the old decay, why does Li Xiangong like to talk nonsense?" ”

Li Su: "............"

Look, the people who crawl out of the gutter are so unsociable.

Li Su smiled dryly, often smiling rather than laughing.

Li Su finally decided to shut up, and it was at least better to remain silent than to force an awkward conversation.

After being silent for a long time, Chang Tu suddenly said: "Li County Gong, Your Majesty has been worried about the Eastern Expedition these days, so he can't sleep at night. ”

Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The army is all famous generals in the world, and I am only a latecomer, where do I dare to show off the ink in my stomach in front of the old generals?" often accompanied by Mo to make fun of the lower officials. ”

Chang Tu shook his head and said, "Although the generals are wide, their thoughts are different, so why can't they come out of the door?" ”

As he was talking, a little eunuch suddenly walked out of the tent, and he hurriedly walked to Chang Tu in small steps, and said softly: "Your Majesty is awake." ”

Chang Tu nodded, turned to Li Su and smiled: "Your Majesty had an order before going to bed, if Li County Gong comes, just go inside, Li County Gong, go in and face you." ”

Li Su thanked Chang Tu, straightened his clothes, and then walked into the handsome tent with his head held high.

In the handsome tent, Li Shimin was stretching out his arms, and the two little eunuchs were dressing him in an orderly manner. Have a seat. ”

Li Su sat down honestly.

It didn't take long for Li Shimin to finish dressing, waved off the eunuch, and then sat cross-legged in front of Li Su, and said with a smile: "The interrogation of the assassin has a result?" ”

Li Su looked at his face, it seemed that the anger of being assassinated during the day had subsided a lot, at this moment Li Shimin was full of smiles, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all, Li Su couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed, so he said: "Your Majesty, the origin of the assassin and the instructions behind it have been verified. ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Zizheng is doing things very quickly......"

Li Su's cheeks twitched, these words were too ambiguous and insulting......

"Your Majesty, according to the confession of the assassins, they were appointed by Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi."

Li Shimin frowned: "Yang Wanchun? As far as I know, Yang Wanchun and Quangai Suwen are mortal enemies, since the sixteenth year of Zhenguan Quangai Suwen killed the monarch and usurped power, Yang Wanchun has never recognized the identity of Quangai Suwen, and often scolded him for being a traitor and villain, Quangai Suwen has sent troops to attack Anshi City, but Yang Wanchun is quite a general, Anshi City was guarded by him without leakage, Quangai Suwen could not attack for a long time, so he had to withdraw his troops and allow Yang Wanchun to Yongzhen Anshi City...... It stands to reason that Yang Wanchun has offended Quan Gai Suwen, and there is no reason to offend me again, otherwise he will suffer from the enemy on his back, and he will have a long life? ”

Li Su smiled and said: "Your Majesty just said that Yang Wanchun is a general, not a handsome talent, no matter how powerful he is in defending the city, what he sees in his eyes is too narrow after all, and he only cares about the gains and losses of one city and one place, so he did something to assassinate His Majesty, and the minister thought that it was very possible, and the powerful royal family of Goguryeo was completely torn apart, and now the Tang Dynasty has 300,000 eastern expeditions to Goguryeo, Anshi City is the only place for our royal division, the city of Bike, as the city lord of Anshi City, how can Yang Wanchun not be in a hurry? Regardless of whether he offends us or not, we are going to knock down Anshi City anyway, in this case, Yang Wanchun simply took a risk and sent someone to assassinate His Majesty first, anyway, what he paid was just dozens of dead soldiers, and the price was not big, but if it succeeded, the benefits would be amazing, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, nodded and smiled: "What Zizheng said is reasonable, it seems that it is really Yang Wanchun of Anshi City, hehe, he has little ability, but he has a good dog guts." ”

Although Li Shimin was smiling, but his eyes were full of murderous intentions, Li Su was in a hurry, I was afraid that this Yang Wanchun would not live long, assassinating the emperor has always been a crime of great rebellion, especially the enemy, if the Tang army captures Anshi City in the future, Yang Wanchun will have a way to live?

Of course, Li Su didn't care about the life or death of a stick, although it was Li Shimin who assassinated him today, Li Su almost caught his way, causing him to roll all over the ground to save his life and be embarrassed, and it was a joy to kill this Yang Wanchun.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Have those assassins confessed?" ”

Li Su said: "Only the female assassin confessed." ”

Li Shimin nodded: "I also saw it at the time, that woman's identity is quite unusual, so many assassins were captured and tried their best to protect her, it can be seen that her status is relatively high, can she tell her origin?" ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Although most of this woman's confessions are true, her identity comes from Lichen who thinks she is not telling the truth. ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Can't you ask? ”

"No, the minister thinks that her origin may be related to our Eastern Crusade situation, so the minister is not in a hurry, first slowly grind her, and when the time is ripe, there may be unexpected gains......"

Li Shimin said: "Just a woman, what does it have to do with the Eastern Crusade Battle? Even if she is the daughter of Quangai Suwen, she will definitely not be able to affect the situation of the battle......"

Li Su said with a smile: "The minister still suggested that she be left in the camp, and the minister has a way to let her play a role." ”

"You're not afraid that she will steal the secrets or assassinate me again?"

"You can vouch, she doesn't dare."

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "I know that you Li Zizheng has always been true, since you said that this woman is useful, I will believe you and leave her behind, but you must remember to restrain her, if she does anything rebellious, you can be guilty of the same crime as her, from today on, I must also be strictly guarded around my handsome tent, your barracks move farther away, don't dangle in front ......of my eyes, otherwise if I see her, I will kill her and behead her."

Li Su hurriedly agreed.

Li Shimin paused, and then looked at him suspiciously: "Zizheng, you shouldn't fall in love with this woman's beauty, right?" ”

Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't cry or laugh: "Your Majesty, this woman's face is covered with mud, like a mud monkey, she can't even see her facial features clearly, and the minister has also driven a car...... How can someone who has seen the wind and waves be fascinated by this mud monkey? ”

Li Shimin rolled his eyes, snorted, and said: "Maybe, I have heard of your Zizheng's reputation, there is only one wife in the family so far, not even a concubine, Cheng Zhijie's old goods have stuffed you with a lot of singers and dancers, but you have never been moved, but you are not as good as a man, Chang'an is not good, you are not beautiful, you are good at ugly women, you are good, there is nothing strange about falling in love with a female mud monkey, so elegant is also a good story......

Li Su's forehead was violently jumped, if it weren't for the emperor's sake, Li Su would have taken off the soles of his shoes and fanned them over.

Taking a deep breath, Li Su gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Your Majesty, minister, no, happy, happy, ugly, strange, female, son!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand casually: "Okay, okay, anyway, I handed over the mud monkey to you, whatever you want, I don't ask, you said let that woman play a role in the Eastern Crusade battle, I will wait and see, retreat." ”

Li Su wanted to argue, opened his mouth, and had to retire stupidly.

*********************************************************************

Not long after Li Su walked out of the tent, the guards outside the door came to report, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, asked to see him.

Li Shimin was reading a book in the tent, frowned when he heard the words, and then sighed sadly, waved his hand lazily, and let the King of Wei see him.

Soon, Li Tai's fat body squeezed into the door, like a big round ball of meat, and rolled hard towards Li Shimin.

"The son visits his father." Li Tai said and saluted.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Qingque's body is inconvenient, so let's be polite." ”

Now it is winter, the winter in the north is especially cold, there is a pot of charcoal fire in the tent, Li Shimin sat in front of the charcoal fire, stretched out his hands above the brazier to roast, and said lightly: "What did the green bird see me?" ”

Li Tai's heart was dark, his father was still indifferent to him, and the intimate atmosphere between father and son was no longer the original, and now the father and son are more like a strange relationship between superiors and subordinates, so cold that it is chilling, it seems that when Feng Du was assassinated, Li Tai's performance is still an unbreakable thorn in Li Shimin's heart.

"Father, the son heard that his father was assassinated in Jizhou City today, the son was worried about his father's safety, and wanted to see his father in the afternoon, but he often said that his father had fallen asleep, and his son did not dare to disturb his father, so he did not come until this time."

Li Shimin showed a smile on his face, and said with his chin bowed: "Qingque has a heart." ”

Li Tai's eyes looked Li Shimin up and down, and he said with a concerned expression: "Is my father okay?" There are people in the world who dare to assassinate their father, it is simply a great rebellion, and the sons are eager to cut those assassins with a thousand knives,...... Father, I heard that all the assassins were captured? ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, take it all, Jizhou Thorn Shi is still taking people in and out of the city, and let's see if he can catch a few more small fish." ”

Li Tai hurriedly said: "Father, since you have taken the assassins, your sons have the courage to ask your father to behead all those assassins, it just so happens that my royal division has not yet started the war, and I use their heads to sacrifice the flag, at the right time, what does my father think?" ”

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "Qingque is late, Li Zizheng came over just now, and wanted me to leave those assassins behind, maybe those assassins have some effect, I agreed." ”

Li Tai was stunned, and his fat face was still ridiculous.

"Stay...... Remain? Li Tai stammered, "Stay in our camp?" And it's still in the camp of the Chinese army? ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Not bad." ”

Li Tai was in a hurry, stood up suddenly, and said with a red face: "Father, don't promise Li Su!" Erchen heard that all the assassins had confessed, and since they had confessed, what was the use of these murderers? Staying in the camp not only wastes food, but also sows disaster to us, otherwise there is no benefit, father, what Li Su said is wrong! The son begged his father to take back his fate. ”

Li Shimin's expression suddenly returned to coldness, his eyes staring at the charcoal fire, as if he was careless, "Qingque, I don't seem to have said anything about the assassins' confessions, right?" Only I and Li Su know about this, you ...... How did you find out? ”

Li Tai was startled, and then a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and his face turned pale involuntarily.

"Father, son...... Erchen ......" Li Tai stammered more and more, his fat face turned white and red, red and white, and finally explained to himself: "Erchen is a prince after all, wandering around the camp, even if Erchen doesn't want to know, it will always reach Erchen's ears, Erchen is wrong." ”

Li Shimin didn't look at him, his eyes only stared at the charcoal fire in front of him, his expression was not sad or happy, he couldn't see the clues, but his eyes were already a little cold, and he said leisurely: "Qingque, you should have come here specifically for this matter, right?" The so-called visit to me is just a reason, right? ”

Li Tai trembled with fright, immediately knelt down with a thud, and said hurriedly: "Erchen doesn't dare!" Erchen really came to visit his father, the assassin was just mentioned casually, if his father didn't like it, Erchen would never mention it again! ”

Li Shimin sighed faintly, his expression was full of disappointment again, and said: "Qingque, you want to fight for that position, I don't object, people's hearts are greedy, and I also have it, but if you want to fight, you must fight uprightly, and fight for the right!" Just like when I was in Xuanwumen, I led my troops to enter it, and personally ended the lives of my brother and younger brother...... How I hope you can learn more from my magnanimity and mind, and play less with some conspiracies, this is not the right way in the end, why did you go astray? ”
