Chapter 52: The Samurai Tong is demoted
"Your Majesty, the rebellion has been basically quelled, and those Turkic rebels are holding the equipment of our Tang Army, and the implication is definitely not small, please investigate it strictly."
On the walls of the imperial city, Li Shimin and the others, who had been blowing cold wind for nearly an hour, finally put their minds at ease after learning that the rebellion had been put down, and personally helped up Qin Qiong, who was covered in blood, and said, "Uncle Bao has worked hard, go back to the mansion to rest quickly!" I will definitely send someone to investigate. ”
After that, he led a few people on the city wall back to the Taiji Palace, Sun Xiangfu wanted to follow in, but unexpectedly Li Shimin pointed and said, "Discuss politics, what are you doing with your retainers, go out of the palace!" ”
Sun Xiangfu bowed depressedly, and quickly caught up with Qin Qiong.
"Yigong, I'm okay at home!"
"It's okay, when I arrived, the Turkic rebels had not yet broken through the gate of your mansion, and I left Qin Hu and a hundred guards to guard your mansion, you can rest assured."
Qin Qiong said this briefly, and Sun Xiangfu knew what the situation was at that time, and bowed down and said, "Boy, thank you Yigong for saving your life." ”
"Where is the duty, you kid has made a meritorious report, what are you polite to me, the Hibiscus Garden is blocked by the army tonight, you go to my house to rest for the night, and make plans tomorrow!"
"It's fine."
Not long after, Sun Xiangfu returned home with Qin Qiong and was arranged in a room with a fire kang, but he couldn't sleep peacefully for a long time, this world is too dangerous! You have to have some life-saving measures.
Life-saving measures are not so easy to think of, although his physical grades in junior high school and high school were not bad, but this is not within his range of interests, after going to college, he forgot half of it, and after grad school, he almost forgot about it, what kind of gunpowder and guns and other things, he thought that he was like most people in later generations, and he couldn't play it.
Uh, dig a cellar! Just like the old US president, if you get a concrete door several meters thick, not to mention that the cold weapon can't be smashed open for three to five days, even if the bomb can't be exploded for a while and a half. In times of crisis, as long as the family hides in the cellar, it is no problem to hide for a while.
Sun Xiangfu thought about it for a long time before he thought of such an operational method, and then he squinted for two hours, and when the sky was bright, he was woken up by Uncle De and took a few guards from the Qin Mansion to Furong Garden.
"General Dugu, how's the situation?"
Before Sun Xiangfu entered the Furong Garden, he saw the list of existing members in the Furong Garden sent by his subordinates one by one outside the blockade line.
"Hundreds of Turkic rebels were captured alive, and the criminal department also came to the prison master to try it, but it didn't work much, the real mastermind should have escaped by water from Qujiangchi, the whole thing, the mastermind didn't seem to want to succeed, it was more like a radical act of revenge on the Tang Dynasty."
Dugu Mou replied with a frown. He has read the list on the booklet, there is nothing suspicious, the captured Turkic rebels only know that there are men in black who killed the guards in charge of guarding them, and threw a few carts of weapons in the prisoner camp, telling them to escape by themselves, as for why these Turkic rebels killed Sun Mansion not far away, it is precisely because they are usually oppressed by Sun Xiangfu and want revenge, but Dugu Mou said this, Sun Xiangfu seemed to think of something.
"Didn't think it would happen, revenge?"
Except for Wang Lin and Wu Yuanqing, Sun Xiangfu couldn't imagine that anyone else would have such a big hatred for himself, and if he dared to directly take the Tang Army's standard equipment to the Turkic captives, such an obvious flaw, Wang Lin, who prided himself on being wise, would definitely not do it, so there would only be one Wu Yuanqing left.
"General Dugu, where did the weapons used by the rebels come from?" Sun Xiangfu asked again.
"From the treasury of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry, the person who received it signed was your name, but Your Majesty knew that you were cooking meals for Your Majesty in the palace last night, so this person used a fake name, and the documents used to receive the ordnance were also forged, and the name of the Ying Guogong Wushi Tong was signed, and the treasury of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry, only His Majesty and Ying Gong had the right to open it, and His Majesty summoned Ying Gong into the palace last night to verify the situation." Dugumou explained the details to Sun Xiangfu.
"Forged documents to receive ordnance, signed my name, and then incited the rebels to slaughter my whole family, and the final result was that I forged documents, deceived the armed forces, and incited the rebels to rebel, but I was slaughtered by the rebels, and there was no proof of death, what a poisonous scheme!"
Sun Xiangfu thought of this, cold sweat was dripping, fortunately he listened to Yu Xiu'er's suggestion to go to the palace to deliver tofu yesterday, and it happened that Li Shimin left it in the palace because of cooking tofu, otherwise, everything is under the control of that person, Wu Yuanqing, there is absolutely no such wisdom, it should be Wang Lin.
However, he didn't have any clear evidence to prove that Wang Lin did it, and it was probably impossible to convict the eldest son of a top family in the world by guessing.
"It's hard, it's hard!"
When Sun Xiangfu thought of this, he only sighed in his heart, and went home with Uncle De and others.
"Brother Qin Hu, I worked hard last night, and I will prepare a banquet in the mansion in a while to reward all the brothers." When Sun Xiangfu arrived at the front of the mansion, he saw Qin Hu and others who had been standing in the cold wind all night, and his heart was so moved, so he hugged his fists.
"Haha, Da Lang is polite, if you hadn't found out in time, I wouldn't have been able to fight happily last night, but the wine and food in your house are very delicious, I still have to eat and drink a good meal, and make more." Qin Hu laughed when he heard this.
"Definitely, definitely, the brothers will wait a while."
Sun Xiangfu entered the house, Uncle De hurriedly instructed the kitchen to arrange a banquet, Sun Xiangfu went straight to the back hall, and in the room, he saw Yu Xiu'er who was holding his younger brother and sister and huddled on the kang all night without sleeping.
"It's worried about the lady." Sun Xiangfu saw that the three of them were unharmed, his heart was relieved, and he said with a reassuring smile.
"The concubine is fine, and the husband is fine! What happened last night? Yu Xiu'er and her younger brothers and sisters saw that Sun Xiangfu came back safely, and all the worries in their hearts dissipated, and they stepped forward together and pulled Sun Xiangfu's sleeve to look at it, and after confirming that it was okay, they all looked at Sun Xiangfu and asked.
"If I expected it to be true, it should be Wang Lin or Wu Yuanqing who wanted to harm me, or possibly, they conspired together to harm me, fortunately, I listened to you yesterday and went to the palace to send tofu flowers, and I broke the thief's actions, I really have a good wife, and the husband doesn't invite trouble!"
Sun Xiangfu praised Yu Xiu'er in a corner, and made Yu Xiu'er feel a lot more relieved, but thinking of Wu Yuanqing, Yu Xiu'er looked at Sun Xiangfu a little apologetically, "It's because the concubine is not in good health, and she will bring trouble to her husband." ”
"How so! If a wife is not jealous, doesn't it mean that her wife is not beautiful? Rest assured! This matter has passed, but it is a reminder to me that our house should be renovated, at least, the defense should be strengthened. Sun Xiangfu smiled and said.
Then, he told the three of them about his plan to build a concrete ground basement, and at the time of crisis, the people who are most important to their lives can retreat into the basement for temporary refuge, and Yu Xiu'er strongly agreed, as for the two little guys, of course, they listened to their brother and sister-in-law.
Sun's breakfast is very lively, in the pond in the backyard, there are hundreds of big fish of more than ten catties sent by Happy Village, Sun Xiangfu ordered all the people to be scooped up and killed, and cooked dozens of big hot pots, not only the hundred generals of the Qin Mansion, Dugumou and the generals of the flying cavalry were also invited into the house to eat, after a full meal, there were internal servants to the house to pass the decree, ordering Dugumou and Sun Xiangfu to enter the palace to face the saint, so the two set off immediately.
In Li Shimin's imperial study, not only the eldest grandson Wuji, who experienced last night's incident, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Qin Qiong are all there, but also the prime minister Pei Lian, the criminal department Shangshu Wang Gui, and the counselor Wei Zheng.
After the two saluted and worshipped, Dugu Mou first made a complete report to Li Shimin on the situation at the scene, and then Li Shimin put out the situation of his own side of the investigation, and then there was a counselor Wei Zheng to go out and say, "No matter who the mastermind of this matter is, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wushi Tong has the responsibility of not acting secretly, and his important weapons warehouse under him allowed a fake document, and thousands of standard weapons were retrieved, which is a big crime, and the minister suggested that this person be dismissed." ”
Wu Shi Tong's birth is very embarrassing, he is not Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and other family members, before entering politics, he was just a businessman, because the family is quite rich, and he pressed the treasure of Li Yuan, so he got the position of a national prince, so he can not say no, but whether it is a family lineage or a military general, the relationship with him is not deep, and now there is a mistake and omission, and it is normal for someone to step on him.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
The first to stand up and speak was the eldest grandson Wuji, Wu Shi Tong was an old minister of Li Yuanchao, and the official was in a high position in one of the six Shangshu, which was inconsistent with Li Shimin's interests, don't say such a thing, even if there was no such thing, his official would not be long in office, so after the eldest grandson Wuji spoke out, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wang Gui and others also spoke out.
In the end, Pei Lian, as the prime minister, also had to nod, after all, this is the appointment and dismissal of the six ministers, if he insists on disagreeing, Li Shimin will not be able to dismiss him strongly, which will leave people with a stubborn image of a tyrant.
"Ying Guogong has contributed to the country, and it is inappropriate to directly recall him, I will move it to the history of the governor of Yangzhou, and the governor Tian Gai, what do you think?"
Li Shimin's field reform is a change in Huainan, Jiangnan and other places, the dry land where millet and wheat are planted with two seasons of soybeans, this is Li Shimin discussed with Changsun Wuji and others last night, although this warrior Tong is an old minister of the former dynasty, but the ability is still there, Li Shimin is now short of people, for this kind of capable former ministers of the former dynasty, just need to keep them away from the center.
"Your Majesty is merciful, but, what is this Tian Gai talking about?"
Wei Zheng impeached Wu Shi Tong on the matter, but he also knew in his heart that on this matter, it was impossible to get a prince of the country to the end, which would make it seem that the monarch was too affectionate, and being demoted to a local official was the best result, but the Tian Reform that Li Shimin said was discussed with the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others last night, Wei Zheng and others didn't know, so they asked.
So, Li Shimin told several courtiers who were not present last night about the yield of soybeans, which can be planted twice a year, and there is a new method of production, and the fact that soybeans are treasures is a treasure told several courtiers who were not present last night.
However, Li Shimin announced the news, but did not announce the method of making tofu, like Wei Zheng, behind him is the Shandong Shi clan, Wang Gui, is the Taiyuan Wang family, after they go back, will they let their family's land be replanted two seasons a year, and the yield per mu is much greater than that of rice and wheat soybeans, Li Shimin is looking forward to it.
