Chapter 394: Li Chengqian's side knock
"Please sleep peacefully Your Majesty, there are two great generals here, and the gods and ghosts are easy." The eldest grandson said to Li Lao Er with a smile on the corridor, and behind her was Li Chengqian, who was holding the soothing soup.
"Queen, you're here too. The prince gave me the soup, and I went to sleep after I drank it. ”
Li Shimin smiled heartily, and he suddenly felt that the nightmare was not so terrifying. He took a sip of the soothing soup and drank it, wiped his mouth, turned around and entered the dormitory, and after a while, everyone saw that the lit butter candle had been extinguished.
The eldest grandson breathed a sigh of relief, Li Shimin dared to extinguish the candle, which means that she has overcome the fear in her heart, she bowed to the two generals Yingying and turned away, leaving Li Chengqian to accompany the two generals to keep vigil in the cold night.
When Li Shimin woke up, he only felt sore, but he was unusually comfortable: "Someone! What time is it for bathing and changing? Why didn't Yan Dong hear the bell of the last dynasty? ”
"Your Majesty is already in the afternoon, you slept very heavily last night, the queen mother made an exception to interfere in politics and ordered a day of resignation, and no one can disturb your rest."
Yan Dong said happily that Li Shimin could sleep soundly, which was great news for him.
"What about the two princes?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the two princes haven't slept all night, and they are making up for sleep in Shangshu Province at the moment, so that they can continue to keep vigil for Your Majesty at night."
"It's really fortunate that the two princes are suffering, and I ordered the imperial dining room to send them to the two princes."
"Slaves obey!" Yan Dong said with a smile, he hadn't dared to smile so easily in front of Li Shimin for a long time.
Li Chengqian occupied Cai Cong's rocking chair at Cai Cong's house, and he couldn't stop being happy for a day.
"Your trick is so effective, when I came, my father was still sleeping!"
"That's enough, you've been talking about it for a day, can you change something else?" Cai Cong couldn't stand it, this hit the street, and he said this sentence at least a hundred times a day.
"What else do you want to say? I heard that Meng Baolai was about to go to Luoyang to take up his post, so he didn't come to resign to you? ”
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and asked cautiously, Meng Baolai was constantly entertaining during this time, and when he left Chang'an, the people who saw him off were full of ten miles of pavilions, and the spring breeze was proud!
"I won't let him come, we killed too many people this time, your father thinks we are too violent, and he also thinks I'm restless, this is not weakening my strength now. This is the same as Wu Anjun killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in the pit back then, killing too much, and finally ending up with Du Youci to die. ”
"Are you afraid that my father will be suspicious of you when he sees that Meng Baolai is not proud and complacent?"
"Your father is suspicious of me, it can't be avoided, I'm too young, and I have made too many contributions. To put it mildly, your father laid down this devastated country, and I made the world prosperous. Do you think your father won't worry about me rebelling? ”
Cai Cong said with a sigh, there is a saying, the steps are too big and it is easy to pull the egg. In the past five years, he has done too well in both the military and the economy, and it is not too much to say that he is rich in the world, and there are countless living people.
Now that the drawbacks have begun to be revealed, the world is decided, he is Li Tang's biggest outlier, he has soldiers in his hands, food at home, and he is still the only seedling in his family, this is definitely the first choice for rebellion.
"Will you rebel then?"
Li Chengqian sat up and looked straight into Cai Cong's eyes, Cai Cong looked at him with disdain and said, "I won't rebel." If you really want to rebel, I can rebel when I lead my troops out a few times, there are refugees everywhere, I just give them stuttering, and let them kill whoever they want.
Don't forget, your dream is to win the ancestors and lay a bigger country, and my dream is to become an ancestor and turn the Tang Dynasty into a real heavenly kingdom. ”
Li Chengqian shrugged his shoulders and ate the pastry casually, Cai Cong's ambition is much greater than his own, there have been more emperors throughout the ages, but there are only a few saints. He even faintly felt in his heart that Cai Cong looked down on the emperor's throne.
"Since you want to become a saint and become an ancestor, then don't stay at home, you have done my father such a big favor this time, my father will not worry about you anymore."
"What can I do? There are Li Jing and them in the war, and your uncle and Fang Xuanling are impenetrable in terms of civil officials, so I went to run errands for people? ”
Cai Cong said angrily, as long as he has a little brain, he should see that after he came back from Goguryeo, Li Shimin's policy towards him was to raise him, give him a superior life, and not allow him to interfere in military and political affairs, which was the same treatment as Qin Shubao.
"Why is it so airtight, East China Road was suppressed by you like that, Xu Jingzong coughed, and the big and small officials in East China had to think about whether it had any special meaning. Aren't they civil servants? ”
When Li Chengqian talked about East China Road, he remembered those dead officials, and in order to go against Cai Cong, he insisted on hooking up with the remnants of the Cui family, and as a result, he gave the entire Hedong to Cai Cong.
"Are you talking about the old yellow calendar of that year? Two months after I left, your uncle planted people in Hedong Road, except for the property that your uncle did not dare to touch, Hedong was already in your uncle's hands. Otherwise, why do you think I would stop him at the palace gate? ”
"What? Is there such a thing? How did I not know? Li Chengqian exclaimed in surprise, he didn't know anything about it.
"As soon as my 100 steels came out, your uncle's business would not be able to do it. Taking the opportunity of me going to Liaodong, he took the secret recipe of 100 steelmaking in his hand, and also took away the secret recipe of many industries, do you think he will spread this matter around? ”
"It's too much, I'll go find my uncle."
After Cai Cong finished speaking, Li Chengqian got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Cai Cong.
"I've taken care of the matter, so don't go and make trouble for your uncle."
"Got it done? You've only been back for a few days, huh? Li Chengqian said in amazement, Cai Cong has only been back for a few days, and he has dealt with the affairs of Hedong Road, can his people travel thousands of miles a day?
"On the way back from Liaodong, I sent someone to deal with it, all the people who your uncle planted in were bandits, and they died miserably, and the officials who supported them didn't know who they offended, they were either broken hands or broken legs, and a few self-righteous people were beaten to death."
Cai Cong said lightly, Li Chengqian looked at Cai Cong with a complicated face, and said for a long time: "You have really changed, in the past, how could those officials live, maybe they would have to die the whole family!" ”
"I didn't know the rules before, so I acted recklessly, you see how difficult my life was at that time, and I was an enemy when I left, but now I have to restrain myself, otherwise your uncle will fight me to the end."
"No wonder my uncle looks at you and avoids it, those officials' legs and feet are not comparable to the secret recipe that he took away." Li Chengqian suddenly said that the eldest grandson Anye was ignorant and ran to sue the emperor, but the eldest grandson Wuji understood that Cai Cong was just giving him a warning, and when he saw Cai Cong hiding, he was afraid that Cai Cong would ask for the secret recipe.
