Chapter 594: Driving to Jinyang

Jinyang belongs to the state, in history, the status of Jinyang is very important, it belongs to the northern town, is the third largest capital after Chang'an Luoyang, in the history of the dispute of five dynasties and ten countries, so many people take turns to be emperors, almost all emperors are in Jinyang or near Jinyang to start a career. If the so-called feng shui metaphysics really exists, Jinyang belongs to the kind of dragon qi pervasive, unspeakably expensive place, careerists only need to take a deep breath, and the inhaled is full of dragon energy, which is really refreshing and crooked......

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan is undoubtedly also a person who has absorbed Jinyang dragon qi, and it seems that he has absorbed a lot.

As we all know, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan also raised troops against the Sui in Jinyang, united with the Guanlong Group family gate, from the army to occupy the entire Sui Dynasty, the whole process took only one year, it can be seen that the Sui Dynasty was fragile at that time, as if just a finger was lightly poked, a behemoth-like giant fell to the ground, and the country changed to a new owner.

Because Jinyang is the land of Longxing, so the two generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty attach great importance to Jinyang, but this attention is only reflected in the psychology, during the Wude period, Li Yuan ordered Jinyang to be classified under the rule of the state, a capital city originally governed by the county, inexplicably changed to the county seat, under the jurisdiction of the state. Of course, this is completely a unified consideration of the military and political administrative regions, Jinyang is the hinterland of Shanxi, bordering the Turks in the north, Chang'an in the south, a serious Central Plains town, and a place where soldiers must fight, not to mention that Li Tang Jiangshan has an irreplaceable deep political status.

So this year, there are snow disasters in the four northern provinces of the Tang Dynasty, and dozens of cities in the four roads have more or less some chaos, but as soon as they heard that Jinyang was in chaos, Li Shimin and the courtiers were particularly dignified, and sent the Jin King Li Zhi and Li Su out to quell it for the first time, this is because Jinyang can not be chaotic, politically, Jinyang in the land of Longxing is equal to a tall and conspicuous weather vane, and countless people's eyes are staring at it.

When he was still more than a hundred miles away from Jinyang, Li Su had already sent the Praetorian Guard to inform Jinyang County Order, ordering him to greet the honor guard of King Jin.

A hundred miles away, but the team walked for a whole day, and the grain carriage behind could not speed up, and when the outline of the towering city wall of Jinyang could be seen, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Riding on a horse, looking at the long black city wall in the distance, the arrow tower in the middle towered like a sharp blade, standing proudly on the Jinzhong Plain, Li Su couldn't help but show a faint smile.

It's time to Jinyang, the final destination of the trip.

Wind and rain, and even the danger of swords, what awaits him and Li Zhi in the future, but I don't know what it is.

Whatever it is, I'm going to do it!

Not long after, the team marched to the city of Jinyang, unlike Jinzhou, there were no refugees outside the city, there was no one empty, on the empty flat ground, only a few crows were occasionally heard, hoarse and unpleasant, and there was no one else.

Li Su's face was a little puzzled.

Although there were no ordinary refugees outside the city, there was not a single official, and the expected scene of Jinyang County's order to welcome them was not seen, and there was not even a local dog that welcomed them under the city gate suspension bridge.

Li Su was still puzzled, but Li Zhi was unhappy, and his emotions instantly surfaced, his little face was gloomy and gloomy, revealing a bit of rare princely arrogance.

"Jinyang County Ling'an dares to treat this king so slowly!" Li Zhi said angrily.

Li Su glanced at him, saw Li Zhi's face flushed, his two nostrils expanded, and he was panting like a mad cow, and after a while, Li Su said leisurely: "Is the qi of the king overlord dissipated?" ”

“…… Almost. ”

"Okay, Your Highness has received the supernatural powers, calm down and think carefully about the reasons."

Li Zhi's tone was still a little angry: "What can be the reason?" ”

"Jinyang was more seriously affected than Jinzhou, and at this time, the officials in Jinyang County were the busiest time, they had to resettle refugees, they had to look for disaster relief food everywhere, and they had to beware of refugees making trouble, in comparison, it was of course not so important to come out to welcome a prince and a county marquis."

Li Zhi pointed to the empty city gate and said, "Even if Jinyang County doesn't come out of the order, then we should see how they settle the refugees, right?" But you see, there are no refugees, there are no officials, and the entire Jinyang City is like dead, and there is no life at all, what is going on? ”

Li Su touched his nose and said slowly: "This is also where I am confused, in extraordinary times, His Royal Highness does not have to worry about etiquette, let's order the team to camp outside the city first." ”

While the team camped outside the city, Li Su sent guards into the city and into the county government to inquire about the situation in Jinyang.

Not long after, the guards came out of the city to report that the Jinyang County Ya was empty, not even the most basic head-catching officials and miscellaneous servants, and the entire county government was empty.

Li Su frowned, and began to feel a little uneasy, this situation is very abnormal, no matter how busy the resettlement of refugees is, the county government must have someone to garrison, even if there is something to do and go out on business, there should always be an old man who guards the communication room (ear room), right?

Li Zhi saw that Li Su's face was gloomy, and he looked at him puzzled, his face full of ignorance.

Li Zhi was born in the palace, grew up in the palace, rarely went out of the palace, and naturally didn't understand the rules of the local government at all, so he didn't know why Li Su's face was so solemn.

"Investigate again, call more guards into the city, and inquire about the people living in the city in the streets and alleys, not only about the government, but about all the situations in Jinyang, you can ask about the disaster, how many refugees, those who starved to death, those who took advantage of the disaster to make trouble, the handling methods of the government, etc., all inquired!" Li Su coldly ordered.

The Praetorian guards clenched their fists and led away.

Turning his head, Li Su smiled at Fang Lao Wu behind him, and said: "Fifth Uncle Fang, you lead our brothers to visit the villages outside Jinyang City to see how the situation is coming, what I just said, you can inquire about it, and then inquire about who the squire clans in each village are, and how powerful they are in Jinyang, if these squires don't run out to escape, you might as well bring them to see me." ”

Fang Lao Wu was ordered to leave.

Li Zhi said puzzledly: "Shouldn't we just find the Jinyang County Order?" Why do you have to inquire about it yourself? ”

Li Su sighed: "Your Highness, didn't you find that Jinyang is very abnormal? There is no one in the official office, and there are no refugees in sight, and there is a dead silence outside the city. ”

Li Zhi shook his head.

Li Sudao: "So there are some things, we can't listen to others, we have to see with our own eyes, ask, what we see with our own eyes is the truth, what others say, after all, we still can't believe it." ”

Li Zhi reacted quickly: "You mean to say that Jinyang County can't be trusted?" ”

"I didn't say that, but seeing that Jinyang is so abnormal, I have doubts in my heart, so we have to be careful, if the Jinyang County Order does not appear for a long time, could it be that we just wait for him?"

Li Zhi nodded as if he understood.

Li Su looked at him and said with a smile: "Now, what is the first thing we have to do, does Your Highness know?" ”

"I don't know." Li Zhi replied very crisply.

"I don't know the first thing, and I'm afraid Your Highness doesn't know the second thing we want to do, right?"

"yes, I don't know."

Li Su sighed and said: "This trip is mainly for His Highness, I am just an auxiliary minister, even if His Highness is young and not good at handling things, but when I don't know three questions, do I also show a little shame, and express the meaning of 'shame is almost brave'?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then really showed a look of shame: "I don't know how to do it, and I hope that Brother Zizheng will give you advice." ”

Li Suzan said: "Very good, I have received your sincerity, okay, the first thing we have to do now is ...... Open a porridge shed. ”

Pointing to an empty plain outside the city, Li Su said: "Here, put ten iron pots, let the husband start boiling porridge, and then send people to the villages to tell the villagers that there is government relief here." ”

Li Zhi nodded suddenly, and then said, "What about the second thing?" ”

Li Su looked up at the sky, it was almost dusk, but the weather was gloomy, there was no sunset, and the sky was dark and oppressive, shrouded in twilight.

"The second thing...... Your Highness, we should go to Jinyang Palace to have a look. Li Su said in a deep voice.

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

Jinyang Palace is located in Jinyang City.

This palace was built in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, built by the order of the minister Gao Huan, the Jinyang Palace at that time was just a summer resort, and later expanded when Emperor Wen of Sui, and then later, after Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, the emperor who particularly likes civil engineering and patrols the world by boat ordered to expand Jinyang Palace again, the scale of Jinyang Palace is getting bigger and bigger, and finally becomes one of the more important palaces of Emperor Yang of Sui.

This palace is quite legendary, because its existence is directly related to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

In the thirteenth year of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan stayed in Taiyuan and led the Jinyang Palace Supervisor, that is to say, Li Yuan was the leader of the Emperor to guard Taiyuan and Jinyang Palace at that time, and he alone had the final say in the entire Taiyuan area.

has a lot of power, has a heavy army, and is from the Guanlong family, stationed in such an important military town, but as long as he is a normal person, there will eventually be a little ideal and vision such as being an emperor in his heart.

No one knew what Li Yuan thought at the time, but in fact, Li Yuan didn't act for a long time, until one day, his son Li Shimin did a very bad thing, Li Shimin tried to get his father Li Yuan drunk, and then sent him to Jinyang Palace, and called a stunning palace concubine to sleep for him......

There is a common sense that everyone must know, if a man is really drunk and unconscious, even if there is a fairy lying next to him, he is unconscious and unresponsive, Li Yuan was so drunk at that time that he still had the strength to sleep with the palace concubine, either he was talented, or ...... It's just pushing the boat down the river.

After sleeping with the palace concubine, Li Yuan woke up and was startled when he saw the naked concubine beside him.

As we all know, the so-called "palace concubine" can definitely only sleep for the emperor, and it is a crime for other men to take a second look, but Li Yuan, who is the palace eunuch of Jinyang, slept with the palace concubine, and it is estimated that she slept more than once a night, this matter is serious, what is the fate of cuckolding the emperor?

When he was panicking, Li Shimin, the son of the pit father, led a large group of people to rush into the palace, kicked open the door, and personally came to catch the adultery of the father, and the first thing he said after breaking the door was "Dad, you slept with His Majesty the Emperor's woman, you are finished, you are dead......"

Full of bloody routines, Li Yuan was so frightened by his son that he couldn't possess his body, and asked anxiously what to do.

Of course, Li Shimin was not polite, and immediately said, "You have already cuckolded the emperor, or you will personally go to make amends to His Majesty the Emperor, maybe His Majesty the Emperor has a hobby of cuckolding, and he will pardon you as soon as he is happy, or we will directly rebel against him."
