Chapter 574: The King of Shu's Crime of Bullying the King
The marriage of Li Yuanfang and Princess Natasha of Guiziguo caused a sensation in the entire Yizhou New Town.
Although the marriage has not yet begun, it has begun to make people in Yizhou New Town talk about it and look forward to it.
And Li Su directly gave Li Yuanfang a set of five-entry mansions.
In Yizhou New Town, where every inch of land is valuable, this house can be said to be worth a thousand gold!
I have to say that the King of Shu is really generous.
The wedding date is approaching, and Li Yuanfang is very busy.
Busy buying furniture, busy decorating, but also inviting people, banquets and many other links.
And, in this kind of thing, he's a blood layman.
Fortunately, the King of Shu sent a few people to assist him, otherwise, when the wedding period begins, I am afraid that Li Yuanfang will not be able to deal with this matter.
At this time, Li Su was rarely idle.
At this time, Li Su was in the study, making future development plans.
The main purpose of these plans is to guide the research direction of the scientific research institute.
Datang's scientific research can be said to have just started.
And what Li Su hopes is that good steel should be used on the blade.
The best direction of scientific research is to comprehensively enhance Datang's national strength and move forward comprehensively.
Rather than developing rapidly in one area and leaving everything else blank.
Now, Li Su has decided to let the research direction of the scientific research institute first tilt towards the national economy and people's livelihood.
Now let's look at those agricultural machines first.
We should first vigorously develop agriculture and let agriculture reach a new height.
Even if the grain output can only reach four or five percent of the future generations, it can still make the grain not only solve the food and clothing of the entire Tang people, but also have a surplus.
Modern machinery can also liberate a large number of laborers.
At that time, with a little guidance from the imperial court, commerce will be able to flourish and promote the germination of capitalism.
The development of society needs a material foundation as the foundation.
If there is not enough material basis to forcibly push the germ of capitalism, it is nothing more than a mirage, a castle in the air.
Just when Li Su was making a development plan, suddenly a fluffy guy walked in in a cute manner.
This guy is naturally a panda Panpan.
A few years have passed, and this guy has fully grown up.
Standing up, there is more than a person tall, much larger than the average panda.
And on the back of the panda Panpan, there is also a girl who is more than one year old and nearly two years old.
Panpan's back is equipped with a saddle-shaped cushion.
Panpan also had a collar around her neck and a rope tied to it.
The girl grabbed the rope and pulled the rope gracefully.
"Panpan, let's go!"
After entering the study, the girl flashed a pair of beautiful big eyes, clapped her hands and said, "Big brother, hug me!" ”
This girl is Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Yi's granddaughter.
The little one is not yet two years old, and he is not yet very steady in walking, but he is already very fluent in speech.
Even the three-character scripture has been recited by a small half, which can be said to be brilliant.
And this little guy's biggest hobby is to ride Panpan and wander around the entire Jiedu Embassy's mansion.
Originally, they were afraid that the little one would fall.
But later I found out that Panpan was very stable and would not turn Shangguan Wan'er upside down at all.
Later, they were relieved.
Let Shangguan Wan'er ride Panpan around, of course, there will still be a maid behind.
And Li Su, when he saw this little guy with pink makeup, he also liked it very much.
took two steps forward and hugged Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er stopped Li Su's neck and giggled.
Seeing this scene, Pan Pan blinked his eyes, and suddenly stood up, stretched out his two front paws, and made a gesture of begging for a hug.
Then, he was directly kicked aside by Li Su.
At the same time, also received an appreciation:
"Get out!"
I don't want to see what you've gotten fat, at least you'll have to weigh more than 200 pounds, right?
Can this king move you?
Panpan, who was kicked down, was not angry, rolled on the ground, rolled to Li Su's feet, and rubbed on Li Su's legs.
At this time, the maid who was watching Shangguan Wan'er chased in from outside.
"The slave has seen His Highness, aunt, don't delay His Highness's official business here, let's go out and play!"
Shangguan Wan'er chuckled, and then said to Li Su: "Big brother, goodbye, Wan'er will come to see you later." ”
Li Su laughed, and then said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Come, Wan'er, my brother will leave again!" ”
Hearing Li Su's words, Shangguan Wan'er stretched out her pink little mouth without hesitation.
Hmmm!
Hmmm!
Hmmm!
After kissing, Li Su put Shangguan Wan'er on Panpan's back.
Shangguan Wan'er shook the rope and said in a milky voice: "Panpan, let's go!" ”
Pan Pan suddenly took an inner figure-eight step and walked out gracefully.
And the maid, after saluting Li Su, followed from a distance.
However, at this time, this maid felt a little awkward in her heart.
Your Highness is too much, isn't he?
Don't even let go of a girl like Wan'er?
Men and women don't kiss each other!
It's too much to let Wan'er kiss him!
Even if you really want people to kiss, aren't they just ready-made big living people!
Why do you harm such a small girl?
It's really-
Well, well, Li Su has been in Datang for five or six years, but he still hasn't fully integrated into it.
At least in terms of male and female defense, he has not yet fully adapted.
A few days later, the wedding banquet of Li Yuanfang and Princess Natasha of Guiziguo officially began.
The entire Jiannan Province, all the officials, all participated in this wedding banquet.
And the princesses of the other fourteen countries also attended this banquet.
On the three days of the wedding banquet, the entire Yizhou New Town became more lively.
……
At this time, in Chang'an City, in the palace of King Wei, Zhou Qing, the housekeeper of King Wei, came to King Wei's study to report the matter.
King Wei is brilliant and likes to recite poems with literati.
After Zhou Qing arrived, King Wei was talking with others.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing stood aside and waited quietly.
When King Wei saw Zhou Qing's actions, he knew that he must have something important to report, and this matter should be avoided.
After a few words of conversation with the literati across from him, King Wei confessed his guilt and walked out of the study.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing also followed.
"Anyway, what's going on?"
Zhou Qing vigilantly glanced left and right, and then whispered to Li Tai, the king of Wei: "Your Highness, we have a person under control here, he is a servant of the Jiedu Embassy of Jiannan Dao, he said that he is in the Jiedu Embassy and has seen Cui Shi Niang!" ”
What the?
This news directly made Li Tai, the king of Wei, lose his temper and couldn't help but scream.
Li Tai's exclamation immediately attracted a team of guards, and they thought that something had happened to King Wei.
Li Tai waved his hand and chased them away.
Then, Li Tai couldn't help grabbing Zhou Qing's collar and asked, "Do you know how big this matter is?" This matter can't be believed! ”
Cui Shi Niang, but the Cui family's descendant miss, is the concubine who is about to be sent to the palace.
However, before he was sent to the palace, he was kidnapped.
Her abductors also killed more than 800 Cui Mansion and Lu Mansion guards.
The nature of this thing is so bad!
openly pulled up a team, killed people and sold goods, and robbed a concubine.
This is definitely a crime of deception and rebellion, even if it is the king of Shu, he will have to fall to the ground!
If this matter is true, the entire Jiedu Embassy will be finished!
And the King of Shu is now his biggest enemy on the way to the throne.
After all, the power of the King of Shu is too huge now.
Even if he can move the current crown prince and he can take the position of the crown prince, he may not be able to be insured.
This news is so important to him!
Of course, Zhou Qing also knew the importance of this matter, and couldn't help but say to Li Tai: "Your Highness, your subordinates also know that this matter is very important. ”
"His subordinates have personally questioned him and sent someone to verify that he is indeed a subordinate of the Jiedu Embassy. Just recently, I quit my job and went to Chang'an, and then I was controlled by our people from the Wei Palace. ”
After listening to Zhou Qing's report, Li Tai couldn't help but fall into a long contemplation.
Zhou Qing didn't dare to disturb, so he had to stand quietly aside.
After a while, Li Tai couldn't help but say to Zhou Qing: "Let's go, let's go to the secret room to talk about this matter." ”
After a short time, the two came to the secret room.
Li Tai couldn't help but ask Zhou Qing: "Why did this person quit his job and didn't do it in the Jiedu Embassy?" How did we know that he was a subordinate of the Jiannan Dao Jiedu Envoy's Mansion? ”
This thing is full of weirdness.
After Li Tai said this, Zhou Qing also sensed the crux of the problem.
That's right, as long as this person doesn't say it himself, it is impossible for others to know that he is a subordinate of the Jiedu Envoy's house.
So, how did they learn about this news in the Wei Palace?
Zhou Qing couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, your subordinates will check immediately!" ”
This Zhou Qing, although he is loyal, but in terms of ability, he is still a little worse.
However, Li Tai takes a fancy to this Zhou Qing's loyalty.
Li Tai couldn't help but order: "Remember, don't make a big fuss, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better." ”
Hearing Li Tai's command, Zhou Qing couldn't help but nod heavily.
By the end of the night, Zhou Qing had already investigated the whole matter.
It turned out that the people in their Wei Wangfu only learned about this matter after receiving a note, and successfully took down the subordinates in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion on Wednesday.
So, who passed this note?
Zhou Qing also pursued this clue, but there was no clue, and in the end he had to stop it.
But Li Tai faintly felt that this note was only passed to him by the five surnames and Qiwang.
Moreover, even that subordinate on Wednesday, I am afraid that the five surnames and seven wangs are inserted into the inner line of the Jiedu Embassy.
Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, those who can place people in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, except for the father, I am afraid that only the five surnames and Qiwang have this ability.
And the five surnamed Qiwang, after getting such a major news, did not choose to detonate it by themselves, but directly told themselves about it.
Five surnames and seven hopes, this is to borrow a knife to kill people!
And they are the knife they want to borrow.
They are really good calculations!
Do you really want to be that knife willingly?
At that moment, Li Tai couldn't even help but let Wednesday go directly, not caring about this matter.
But instinct told him that this was the best opportunity to bring down the King of Shu.
If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no next time.
And this matter, poked out by the five surnames and Qiwang, it is indeed better not to be poked out by him.
Therefore, even if he knew that the five surnames and seven hopes were using him as a knife, Li Tai could only pinch his nose and admit it.
In the end, Li Su personally interrogated this Wednesday.
From Wednesday's description, Li Tai confirmed that Cui Shi Niang was indeed in the Jiannan Province Jiedu Envoy's Mansion.
First of all, the timing of Cui Shi Niang's appearance was too coincidental.
It happened that two days after her accident, she appeared in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion.
Secondly, in terms of appearance, it is also very similar to Cui Shi Niang's appearance.
Even Li Tai didn't expect that his sixth brother would be so bold.
Dare to rob his father's concubine, it's really bold!
And through the inquiry on Wednesday, Li Tai confirmed that this Wednesday was actually given to him by the five surnamed Qiwang.
Because this Wednesday was too cooperative, he knew everything about Li Tai's questions.
Of course, there are some issues that will be kept silent on Wednesday.
For example, when Li Tai asked him which of the five surnames and seven wangs had sent him, he was silent.
After the interrogation, Li Tai took Wednesday and entered the palace.
Li Tai is Li Shimin's favorite son.
The other adult princes, when they reach the age, have to go to the fiefdom.
Only this Li Tai has been kept by Li Shimin's side.
If Li Tai is not seen for a few days, Li Shimin will miss it very much, and then send someone to call Li Tai.
Therefore, Li Tai asked to see him, but he didn't have a good understanding at all, so he directly introduced Li Tai into the imperial study.
Seeing Li Tai, Li Shimin was in a good mood.
"The green finch is here, sit down and talk."
Li Tai hesitated for a moment, and then said to Li Shimin: "Father, there is something that the sons and daughters don't know whether to tell their father. ”
Li Shimin glanced at Li Tai suspiciously, and then said casually: "What is there that can't be said?" What the hell is going on, you just say it doesn't matter. ”
Li Tai couldn't help but say: "Father, this matter, Erchen learned about it from a thief who was inadvertently arrested in my house, and after hearing this, Erchen was very shocked. ”
But there is no way to tell whether what he said is true or false. But the stakes were so high that in the end, the retainers had no choice but to bring the thief to the palace as well, hoping that his father would interrogate him personally. ”
Well?
Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but be even more puzzled.
But in the end, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will interrogate and interrogate myself." ”
Li Tai continued: "Father, this matter is very important, and it is best not to have anyone else at the scene. ”
Li Shimin glanced at Li Tai deeply, and finally agreed to his condition.
A short time later, in a quiet room, Li Shimin began to interrogate Wednesday.
In the room, only Li Tai followed Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at Wednesday and asked lightly: "Anyway, what is the matter?" ”
Li Tai looked at Wednesday and scolded: "When I saw the emperor, I didn't recruit him from the truth!" ”
Hearing that the person in front of him was actually the emperor, Wednesday was suddenly bluffed and fell to his knees.
"Emperor Qi, the grass people were originally subordinates of the Jiannan Dao Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, but recently the villain discovered that a woman lived in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, very similar to Cui Shiniang who disappeared some time ago."
The villain was very scared, so he quit his job and prepared to come to Chang'an to make a living. But it was entangled and stolen on the road, and the villain had no choice but to steal. I didn't expect to be captured by the people of Wei Wangfu, please spare your life, please spare your life! ”
This set of rhetoric was taught to Wednesday by Li Tai.
The original set of rhetoric on Wednesday was simply full of flaws, and it simply did not stand up to scrutiny.
And this set of rhetoric sounds much more true.
Of course, it may also be that the other party has decided on Li Tai, and it is clear that Li Tai will inevitably do this.
And when Li Shimin heard that Cui Shiniang would actually appear in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, he was shocked at first, and then he was furious!
"Brute! What a brute! How could he do such a rebellious thing? ”
"This little brute! I! I! ”
Li Shimin's angry chest rose and fell violently, gasping for breath, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Li Tai couldn't help but walk behind Li Shimin and help him beat his back.
And comforted: "Father, this is just Wednesday's one-sided statement, and the matter is not completely determined!" Maybe it's just a misunderstanding! ”
But in Li Shimin's heart, it is almost certain that this matter is like this.
Because the hijacking that happened in Yinghe was too strange.
Until now, no clues have been found.
More than a thousand robbers, it is impossible to fall from the sky and then disappear out of thin air.
Those who have the ability to do this, the entire Tang Dynasty, and the King of Shu have this possibility.
In fact, Li Shimin had already begun to doubt the King of Shu in his heart.
But without evidence, this suspicion can only be a suspicion.
But now, after interrogation Wednesday, Mr. Li is almost certain.
The one who appeared in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion was undoubtedly Cui Shi Niang.
This little brute, how dare he do such a rebellious thing!
In order not to wronged Li Su, the king of Shu, Li Tai also made a special inquiry about Wednesday.
It was confirmed that the woman in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion appeared in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion two days after Cui Shiniang's disappearance.
And in terms of appearance, they are also very similar.
Coupled with these two points, Li Shimin is almost convinced that the one who appeared in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion was Cui Shi Niang.
However, Li Tai still distinguished Li Su and said: "Father, the emperor and the sons still don't think that this matter was done by the sixth brother. ”
"In the days after the accident, I didn't hear that there was a troop movement in Yizhou New Town, where did the 1,000 robbers come from?"
Li Shimin sneered: "Then do you still need to ask?" That little beast must be secretly raising a private army! ”
That's it!
Hearing Li Shimin say this, the corners of Li Tai's mouth flashed with pride.
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "I will give an order to order someone to capture this little beast and take it to Chang'an, I want to ask him face to face, why can he do such a thing that is not as good as a pig and a dog?" ”
Take it directly to Chang'an?
Li Tai immediately sensed that something was wrong.
There are too many variables in this, once the news is leaked, his sixth brother will dispose of all the clues.
What charges will be used to convict at that time?
Thinking of this, Li Tai hurriedly said: "Father, son-in-law thinks that until now, we have only listened to Wednesday's one-sided words. ”
"What if this incident really wasn't done by the sixth brother? When the time comes, won't it make the sixth brother chill? ”
"Erchen thinks that in this matter, it is best to find out the truth of the matter first, and then make a decision!"
Erchen didn't believe that this matter was really done by the sixth brother. However, if it was really the sixth brother's doing, the ministers would not dare to shield the sixth brother, and they would definitely bring him to his father. ”
After a deep groan, Li Shimin couldn't help but say to Li Tai: "Qingque, if this matter is really done by this little beast, once the matter is exposed, you will be in danger." ”
"You don't have to go in person about this matter, I will send someone to investigate this matter."
Li Tai still insisted: "Father, the less people know about this matter, the better, and it is not easy to publicize." Erchen still asked to be able to go in person, and the father was relieved, and Erchen would not have any problems. ”
After pondering for a moment, Li Shimin said: "It's okay if you go, I will give you a will, see the will and see me!" Although Jiannan Dao is a self-control envoy of the festival, it is still my Tang Dynasty's territory after all, and my holy decree will still have a certain effect.
"Then, I will send Hou Junji to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to accompany you to Yizhou."
Li Shimin believed that with his own holy decree and Hou Junji leading 3,000 soldiers and horses, he could ensure Li Tai's safety.
For Li Shimin's kindness, Li Tai will certainly not refuse.
If even his own safety cannot be guaranteed, then what's the point of him taking such a trip?
Li Tai couldn't help but say: "Father, it's okay to let General Hou Junji lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to follow, but you can't go openly." As long as the sixth brother gets the news and transfers the person away in advance, nothing will be found. ”
Li Shimin couldn't help nodding and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." You have to be careful, and as soon as you are sure that this little beast really did it, bring him with you. ”
"Yes, Father!"
After Li Tai left, Li Shimin was angry, and then ordered someone to call Hou Junji.
Li Shimin looked for Hou Junji, of course, he had his intentions.
Most of the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty were friendly with the King of Shu.
Sending someone else to go, Li Shimin really didn't feel at ease.
And Hou Junji, who had a festival with the King of Shu, was very close to the prince at the same time.
Send him there, it is absolutely impossible to be in the same stream as the King of Shu.
And Hou Junji saw Li Shimin, and after receiving the appointment, he was still confused.
I don't understand why the emperor will give this order.
And the emperor asked him to go to the king of Wei, and everything was subject to the arrangement of the king of Wei.
Not long after, Hou Junji appeared on the palace of King Wei.
When he learned the truth of the matter, Hou Junji almost didn't jump up and cheer.
I shouted in my heart that the sky has eyes!
Hum!
With the King of Wei and himself, this time, the King of Shu must be in a catastrophe!
Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Hou Junji discussed that this time the three thousand soldiers could not wear armor and carry weapons.
You can't rush to Yizhou all at once.
They decided that the 3,000 soldiers, disguised as tourists, would go to Yizhou in batches.
One of them went from Chang'an to Hangzhou, and then from Hangzhou to Yizhou.
The rest of the people arrived directly from Chang'an to Yizhou in batches every day.
In this way, although it is a little slower in speed, it can ensure that it will not be discovered by the King of Shu.
