Chapter 307: Five Surnames and Seven Sects
After eating, the merchants plunged into the chamber of commerce, began to look through the data they were interested in, and before it was dark, they took their leave. Walking with them, there are also some masters of the White Jade Tower, which they have invited to guard the safety of the goods!
Wang Fugui also followed them, and he also saw two good businesses, and he had to go back and personally order his caravan.
Su Bai stretched his waist, these days he feels as if his body is a little rusty, although he has been exercising every morning, he still feels a little heavy! If there is a famous teacher by his side, he will definitely tell him that this is a bottleneck!
If you can rush over, the establishment of a sect is just around the corner, and if you can't rush through, this life will be like this.
Next, all Su Bai's thoughts were put into the artillery, and all the other messy things were put aside and handed over to Tang Ju and Wang Lang to deal with, and he guarded the furnace with the old blacksmith every day.
In this way, until the beginning of October, the progress of artillery was still very slow, and it was definitely not a simple matter to create a strong, durable, smooth and accurate gun body in Datang. After this period of help, Su Bai also understood that he had thought about things a little simpler before.
Just a small bubble in the molten iron has a chance to blow up the cannon! The ripple effect that will be caused by the time is definitely not a small matter. Su Bai also found that he had taken it for granted before.
On this day on the third day of October, Wang Xiaobao came to Mantou Mountain after a long absence!
In the closed secret room, there were only Su Bai and Wang Xiaobao, Su Bai sat on a Taishi chair, staring at Wang Xiaobao, who had obviously circled twice, and said, "Have eyebrows?" Wang Xiaobao nodded lightly and said, "These days, our power at the bottom has spread very quickly, and we finally got a little news not long ago.
Su Bai took a deep breath, his heart was beating so hard now!
"Who?" Su Bai still asked, although he knew that after he heard the answer, what was waiting for him must be a big trouble, so he still asked!
"Zhao Jun Li Clan!"
Wang Xiaobao's voice was unwavering, without a trace of emotion, but Su Bai's hand was clenched into a fist fiercely!
Among the seven sects without surnames, there are only two with the surname Li, among which the Longxi Li family is the family where His Majesty is located today, and the Zhaojun Li family is the other one!
The so-called five surnames and seven sects are, Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, and Taiyuan Wang! Because the Li family and the Cui family each have two county wang clans, they are called the five surnames and seven clans.
Among them, the most powerful is undoubtedly the Li clan of Longxi, after all, people have ever produced emperors! The overall strength of the remaining six is not much different. After Su Bai heard Wang Xiaobao's answer, he closed his eyes and said softly, "Is the news accurate?" ”
Wang Xiaobao nodded and said, "Absolutely!" This is the news that came out of the Li clan in Zhao County! Su Bai nodded, and then said softly, "Is there a certificate?" Wang Xiaobao continued to nod his head, "There are human and material evidence"
Su Bai chuckled and said, "Give the people to Xuanwei, let them bring the people to the prince, and let the princess handle the rest of the matter!" Wang Xiaobao nodded, didn't say a word, didn't ask a word.
Su Bai closed his eyes, his fingers tapped on the armrests of the Taishi chair one by one, the task given to him by Li Shimin was to investigate this matter clearly, and now he finally found out a little news, with his current strength, how can he wrestle with the family? can only borrow the power of the royal family to pull the banner!
Su Bai said softly, "Although they are all surnamed Li, not everyone can rule the world!" ”
Wang Xiaobao was still silent, Su Bai asked him to investigate the news, then he only went to investigate the news, and anything else had nothing to do with him, unless Su Bai continued to let him do something.
Su Bai shook his head vigorously and sighed, these intrigues are really upsetting when you think about it, can't you use rock-paper-scissors methods? Whoever guesses the boxing wins, isn't it bad to be the emperor? Ay~
Su Bai asked softly, "Xiaobao, how are the people in the Chamber of Commerce lately?" Wang Xiaobao nodded and said, "It's all about doing business in their own right, and I haven't found any fine work at present", Su Bai nodded and said, "After this time I get famous, there will only be more people who join, and I'm afraid that there will be some people from other forces mixed in." Show them all to me! ”
Wang Xiaobao nodded lightly and said, "Please rest assured!" ”
Su Bai continued, "If they do their duty to do business and bring benefits to our Chamber of Commerce, then we can ignore them for the time being, but as long as they have the slightest change!" ”
Su Bai's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Kill them!" ”
Wang Xiaobao nodded lightly, he is now very handy at killing people!
Su Bai looked at Wang Xiaobao and said, "Don't disappear for so long in the future, grandma was still talking to you a while ago, saying that you won't come back to see her for so long", Wang Xiaobao's expression finally changed, and he nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Okay"
Su Bai looked at the taciturn Wang Xiaobao, and felt a little unbearable, Wang Xiaobao became what he is today, he has ninety-nine percent responsibility!
Early the next morning, a recital, as well as all the human and physical evidence, appeared in the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin first looked at the recital, then glanced at the physical evidence, and then asked two questions about the human witness, his expression could not see any change, but the green tendons on his forehead kept beating.
Wang Xi has been with him for so long, so he naturally knows that Li Shimin is now suppressing his anger, Li Shimin's breathing is a little heavy, and after pressing it twice, it can be regarded as suppressing it a little. His eyes were staring at the ground in a daze, his teeth were creaking, and the fold he was holding in his hand had been pinched.
Wang Xi said softly, "Your Majesty, do you need Xuanwei to do anything?" Li Shimin threw the fold in his hand to Wang Xi and said, "Have you seen it?" Wang Xi shook his head and said, "The old slave doesn't dare!" ”
Li Shimin said: "Then you can take a look and talk about it!" ”
Wang Xi obediently picked up the fold and looked at it, and saw that it was written in detail how they found out about this matter, and how they found the Li family behind the scenes.
Li Shimin said coldly: "Even Bai Yulou can send things!" Can't you Xuanwei find out? Wang Xi fell to the ground on his knees, and did not defend himself in a word!
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "The current Xuanwei is no longer the Xuanwei of the past, there are too many moths!" Wang Xi knocked his head on the ground and said, "Your Majesty! Please give the old slave three days! ”
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "Three days? In three days, I can only clean up the Xuanwei near Chang'an! I give you a month, and I'm going to make Xuanwei change the sky! Do you understand? ”
Wang Xi knocked his head on the ground again and said, "Yes!" ”
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, looked in the direction of the county and asked, "Wang Xi, did you say that he has grown up a little too fast?" Wang Xi naturally knew who Li Shimin was talking about, and nodded at the moment, "It's really a bit fast, it's just two or three years, and he has become a peerless marquis!" It has also established an intelligence network like Baiyulou! ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Could it be that there are really people in this world who are born to know?" Wang Xi shook his head firmly and said, "I don't know if there are old slaves, but Wushuang Hou is definitely not this kind of person!" ”
"Oh?" Li Shimin looked at Wang Xi and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Wang Xi said softly, "The old slave can be regarded as watching him come up step by step, this son can have today, all because he grasped the right time and stepped in the right direction step by step, so that he can have today's status in such a short time!" Of course, this is also inseparable from His Majesty's Holy Ming! ”
Li Shimin laughed and said, "Even you can make sycophants?" ”
Wang Xi shook his head and said, "The old slave is not patting on the back, but talking in his heart, which king in history dares to use a young general like Wushuang Hou?" It's just that everything is good, and he didn't embarrass His Majesty, which can also indirectly prove that Your Majesty has a good understanding of people! ”
Li Shimin laughed, he likes Wang Xi's sycophant, he boasts of his ability to know people, otherwise he wouldn't have said that, all heroes in the world are in my place!
Because of Li Shimin's laughter, the room seemed to have become much warmer. Li Shimin laughed and said, "Zhao Jun sent me more people, I want to know what they say in their dreams at night, can I do it?" ”
Wang Xi naturally wants to agree, even if he can't do it, he has to agree!
After instructing Wang Xi to do things, Li Shimin asked Wang Xi to retreat and sit on the chair alone, Li Shimin finally couldn't control his anger, and pushed all the four treasures of the study room and the folding ornaments on the table to the ground, and roared angrily, "Do you know what I paid to get this country?" I want my country! You are dreaming! Dream! ”
Wang Xi heard some sounds more or less, but he didn't even look back, not only him, but even the guards who were standing at the door of the hall and heard it really sound, as if nothing had happened, quietly staring at the things in front of them.
Wang Xi, the moment he walked out of the hall, the murderous aura exuded from the whole person was extremely strong! Even when you get closer, you feel as if you have a pinprick on your body.
This murderous aura is also aimed at the Li clan of Zhaojun, and it is also aimed at Xuanwei!
That is, after tonight, overnight, the heads of more than 1,000 people in Chang'an fell to the ground, and all of them were from the family or the rest of the people lurking in the Xuanwei.
This storm, with Chang'an as the one, quickly swept through the entire Datang! For a while, people's heads were rolling and the sea of blood was churning.
The family also knew that this time Li Shimin was serious, and tried his best to rein in his own forces, for fear of being implicated.
After Su Bai learned the news, he just smiled, Su Bai was originally a mortal enemy with the family because of Li Shimin, and now he was naturally happy to hear the news that their strength had been reduced.
What made Su Bai even happier was that the cannon body had finally made progress, thanks to the old blacksmith's son who thought of a way to heat the temperature of the furnace, which also made Su Bai sincerely feel the wisdom of the ancients.
On October 15, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, and Niu Jinda entered the palace hand in hand.
Li Shimin knew the first time he saw the four of them, it must be Su Bai's kid who is going to do something again, these four people are all people who are completely standing behind that kid, and now they are entering the palace hand in hand, not for that kid What else can they do for?
They all fought together on the battlefield, and Li Shimin didn't have to worry too much about talking to them, and said with a smile, "Why did you old guys come together?" Cheng Biting Jin's signature laugh and said three times: "The old minister has good news to bring to Your Majesty this time!" ”
Li Shimin sighed? With a playful look in his eyes, he stared at Cheng Yanjin and said, "You came up with it?" Cheng Yanjin was not embarrassed, he laughed twice and said, "It was Wang Xiaozi who came up with it"
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "Since he came up with it, why didn't he come to see me?" Qin Qiong took over and said, "That kid has been researching a weapon recently, according to Lao Cheng, as long as this weapon is made, our Datang will be able to dominate the world!" ”
Li Shimin stood up on the throne suddenly, and then stared at a corner of the palace with unusually ugly eyes, where there was a pillar, under Li Shimin's gaze, Wang Xi walked out behind the pillar, and knelt down with a puff and said again, "The old slave is incompetent, and he hasn't even heard such an important news."
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "You still know that you are incompetent!" Fortunately, this is Wushuang Hou researching, if you change the kind of ambitious people to study, if you succeed, do you know what the consequences are? ”
Wang Xi just lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Cheng Biting Jin and the four of them quietly listened to Li Shimin scolding Wang Xi, no one dared to intercede for Wang Xi, not afraid of anything else, afraid of misunderstanding and jealousy!
During this period of time, Li Shimin's temper became more and more bad, and in the early dynasty, even Wei Zheng didn't dare to say much, which can be seen in general.
After scolding Wang Xi enough, he looked at Cheng Biting Jin and said, "What kind of weapon does that kid study?" ”
Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said, "I don't know, I heard that kid say before, as long as this weapon research is successful, my Datang will be invincible in the world!" Li Shimin was in a complicated mood, on the one hand, he felt that Su Bai was carrying such a powerful weapon on his back, what did he want to do? If it is really as powerful as Cheng Yanjin said, then it is not impossible to change the dynasty!
On the other hand, he felt that after Su Bai developed the weapon, he would definitely hand it over to himself, and he didn't know where this confidence came from, but he just believed in Su Bai!
Li Shimin looked at the four of them, "I'll go to the county with me in a while!" ”
Qin Qiong hurriedly said, "If Your Majesty wants to know, the Marquis of Xuan Wushuang will meet you, why do you need to come to the county in person?" Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I haven't been to the county for a long time, so it's good to go and see."
Cheng Yanjin was still persuading, Li Shimin glanced over, and he immediately stood aside honestly.
Li Shimin said softly, "Okay, tell me the good news for you."
