Chapter 267: Condolences

After Li Shimin received Li Yuan's urgent report, he frowned. He also expected that there might be Xue Ju's people to cause some sabotage on his side, delay his own march, and gain some respite opportunities. But no matter how clever he was, he never expected that Xue Ju's fire would burn directly in Chang'an City. You must know that Chang'an City is the most solid place for Li Yuan's forces to defend now, and setting fire to the granaries here, especially the military granaries, is definitely a life-and-death task. Therefore, compared with other storage centers, the defense of the military material warehouse near Chang'an City is a little weak. That's why Xue Ju's people were given a chance, but since the matter has happened, it's useless to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin shook his head with a wry smile, and then put this urgent report into his arms, and asked the messenger who sent it to the newspaper in front of him: "Xue Ju did this thing to make his father very angry, how did he deal with those who took care of the warehouse this time?" ”

The messenger who sent the letter didn't dare to hide it, nodded to Li Shimin and said, "Lord Jian Guo pushed all the relevant people who guarded the warehouse out of the palace and beheaded them at the entrance of the vegetable market to show the public. ”

Speaking of which, I have to mention that after the rumors spread in Chang'an City that Li Wenyuan was named the king of Tang and concurrently held the position of the Great Sui Supervisor. In order to get out of the sulking breath in his chest, Li Yuan also ordered the emperor to seal himself to the same position. At the same time, in his own territory, he issued a proclamation refusing to recognize Li Wenyuan's position as the king of Tang, and said in the proclamation: The emperor set up by Li Wenyuan is a puppet emperor, so Li Wenyuan's title is illegal, and the official position he naturally obtained is also illegal. Li Yuan and Li Wenyuan are now blocked by Xue Ju, and they can't directly send troops to attack the Western Regions. Therefore, when the whip is out of reach, he can only think of this method to make himself a little more comfortable, so the messenger of Fang Cai also called Li Yuan a prisoner.

"Hey. My father has become more and more impatient since he was appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to take charge of the affairs of the whole country, and it is really the most irrational way to deal with this matter, so you can help me bring a message to the gatehouse of my mansion in Chang'an City. Let the bookkeeper pay each of the beheaded people's families a hundred taels of silver, which is my personal compensation for them, after all, the responsibility for the root cause of this matter is not on them. After Li Shimin finished speaking, he took five taels of silver from the subordinate next to him, turned around and handed it to the messenger in front of him as a reward, and the corresponding messenger would bring his own tone back to his mansion in Chang'an City.

After receiving the reward, the messenger turned his horse's head and returned to Chang'an City with great gratitude. brought Li Shimin's message back to Li Shimin's mansion truthfully. After hearing this message, the account room in Li Shimin's mansion naturally understood what Li Shimin wanted to do. Li Shimin wanted to take this opportunity to buy the hearts of the people and establish a wise image among the people. So he didn't dare to slack off, and took the corresponding volume according to what Li Shimin said, and delivered it to them door to door.

Such a move naturally could not be concealed from the eyes of Li Yuanji, who had long harbored disagreement with Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, and all the actions of the bookkeeper that day fell into the eyes of Li Yuanji and Mr. Jiang, who were following him in disguise all the way. It wasn't until the bookkeeper sent the silver taels to the last family that Li Yuanji and Mr. Jiang ended the day's tail plan when they returned home. came to a wine shop in Chang'an City, then took a whole floor of the place, and ordered a table of wine banquets, don't get together to discuss what you saw today.

"It's really as Mr. said, my second brother sent the account office in her house to take the silver taels to buy the families of those who were beheaded for public display, he really knows how to pick the time, if it wasn't for Mr.'s arrangement in advance, I'm afraid he would really be the first step ahead this time." Li Yuanji picked up the wine glass on the table, poured himself a glass of water and wine, and then drank it all to quench his thirst, and said with a smile to Mr. Jiang.

"When I first met the second son, I saw a faint dragon aura in his face. If nothing else, the future True Dragon Son will definitely fall on your second brother. Mr. Jiang didn't see Li Yuanji either, but also followed Li Yuanji's example, poured himself a glass of water and wine, and drank it all and said.

"But isn't that the accident coming now? It is estimated that my second brother never dreamed that we would get ahead of him, and the family members who were beheaded in this incident were each worth five hundred taels of silver. This time, my second brother may have really been clever but was mistaken by being smart. He thought he could buy the hearts of the people, but he didn't expect that the hearts of the people on both sides were more attached to me. He is really a good person when he makes wedding dresses for others," Li Yuanji said to Mr. Jiang with a smile after listening to Mr. Jiang's words.

"In fact, the most advantageous thing for the second son is not your five hundred taels of silver, but the sad attitude and sincere apology you showed after you got there, you really expressed the idea of wanting to make amends for your father. For these people, you can have this idea, which is really more heartwarming than any amount of money. And you also saw the attitude of the bookkeeper and the house slave he brought with him today, so where is the reparation? If someone who doesn't know the inside story looks at it and thinks that they have come out to do good deeds, then it is charity. Mr. Jiang also said to Li Yuanji with a smile.

Today's incident was a temporary plan that he had planned without the orders of his own organization. The goal was to make the gap between the two brothers deeper, and now the plan can be said to have been more than half successful. Just wait for Li Shimin to come back, and then find a way to reveal what Li Yuanji did to Li Shimin, and then the whole plan can be said to have been implemented perfectly, how can this not make him happy in his heart?

So this dinner ended slowly between the two of them, Li Yuanji was proud in his heart at this time, he finally succeeded in calculating his second brother once, where was he still distracted to think and speculate about whether what Mr. Jiang was thinking in his heart was the same as what he was thinking? Mr. Jiang's smile was the same as his own thoughts in Li Yuanji's eyes.
