Chapter 17: Re-entry to Chang'an
"Your Highness, China has never treated them as subordinates who can be transferred at will, you want them to follow Your Highness, Your Highness can talk to them in person."
"Good brother, you said it yourself!" Li Ke said happily.
He didn't expect Li Zhonghua to agree so easily.
"Still." Li Zhonghua suddenly said: "If they don't want to follow His Highness, I also hope that His Highness won't be strong, after all, they are the ones who saved His Highness's life." ”
"......" Li Ke was stunned.
"That's it, it's because this king has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, and this king will never force it."
Yizhou Thorn History.
Yizhou Thorn Shi Cao Cui, who was lustful in his heart, hugging left and right to enjoy the stunning courtesan, suddenly, a mysterious person appeared beside him.
"Envoy-kun!" Cao Cui was shocked and looked at the mysterious person who suddenly appeared.
"Apart from you, who else knows that the robbery and killing of the King of Shu is related to the East Palace." The mysterious man said in a cold voice.
"The minister works for the East Palace, and he has always kept it a secret, and he didn't dare to leak the slightest bit of news, please rest assured that the envoy is there." Cao Cui hurriedly said.
"You...... Why? ......" Cao Cui suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, looked down in surprise, the sword that pierced his heart, blood came out of the corner of his mouth, and he said unwillingly.
"Only the dead can keep secrets, you can only blame yourself, who made you ineffective and let the King of Shu still be alive.
You should be glad that I'm helping you, it's better for you to die alone than to be connected by the Nine Clans! The mysterious man said ruthlessly, and suddenly drew the sword that pierced into Cao Tingshi's chest.
A blood sword flew far away, Cao Cui's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground unwillingly, finishing his life.
The mysterious man looked at Cao Cui, who had swallowed his last breath, slowly squatted down, wiped the bloody long sword with Cao Cui's clothes, stood up and sighed, inserted the sword into the scabbard, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the night.
Inside the Taiji Hall in Chang'an.
Li Shimin and his ministers, Zuo Servant Fang Xuanling, and Wei Guo Gong Li Jing, were discussing state affairs together.
"Your Majesty, according to the clues left by those black-clothed people, I finally found the body of Cao Cui, the assassin of Yizhou, and after the people from the military department arrived, they found that Cao Cui had been killed in the assassin's mansion, and the clues were interrupted." Wei Guogong Li Jing said.
"What a trick to kill people and kill people, two Aiqing, do you believe that the main messenger behind this matter is a small Yizhou assassin?" Li Shimin said with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, since the King of Shu has escaped, it is better to close the case here, and if you continue to dig deeper, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of the country!" The left servant shot Fang Xuanling reminded him.
"Ke'er is also the son of Lian, do I want to condone the murderer and wronged Ke'er?" Li Shimin said angrily.
"Your Majesty! Is Your Majesty ready to scrap the store? ”
Li Shimin: "......"
It was easy to scrap the reserve, but he didn't think of how to be heartbroken with the eldest grandson queen, who was still seriously ill.
On the official road to Chang'an, in the post station.
"Feiyan, you have the grace to save your life in the King of Shu, if you follow him now, I believe he should treat you with courtesy, and it should be much easier for the King of Shu to come forward and let His Majesty issue a decree and restore your good status." Li Zhonghua said very sincerely.
Although Li Zhonghua was very happy that Luo Feiyan and the others refused to follow Li Ke, the king of Shu, Li Zhonghua still wanted them to think about it again.
"Master, we didn't think about saving the King of Shu, although our fathers were killed, it was not the fault of the current emperor, the fault was that their positions were different, but the King of Shu was the emperor's son after all, even if we didn't think about avenging our parents, we would never save him, we shot back those people in black, but we didn't want the master to be hurt." Luo Feiyan shook his head and said.
"What is not the fault of the current emperor, Lord Yan is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, if he hadn't launched the Xuanwumen Mutiny, how could Lord Yan rebel against him, and how could we have fallen to the current state." Xie Jingyi said angrily.
"If the master doesn't want to take us in anymore, then just give us away, anyway, we're just some lowly courtesans." Feng Qiushuang was obviously not in a good mood and said.
"How can I be willing to give you away, as long as you are willing, my home will always be your home, even if you get married in the future, I will always be your mother's family, you are my sister Li Zhonghua." Li Zhonghua didn't think that their reaction would be so big, and hurriedly expressed his attitude to them.
Outside Chang'an City, the people of the Shu King's Mansion came to welcome the King of Shu back to Beijing, and Li Shimin also sent a palace attendant to greet Li Zhonghua with a group of people.
"Liu Zhong, a miscellaneous family, came to greet Li Xiannan at the behest of His Majesty."
"There is Lao Liu's father-in-law."
"Yes, Li Xiannan came up with a way to cure smallpox, but he has made a great contribution! On the way back to Beijing, I saved the life of the King of Shu again, Your Majesty really wants to see you as soon as possible! ”
"This is Yan Wenli, the housekeeper of the Shuangliu County Men's Mansion, he will take the lord's family back to the house first, and Li County will follow the miscellaneous family into the palace to face the saint!" Liu Zhong pointed to a middle-aged man beside him and introduced.
"The lord has worked hard all the way, my name is Yan Wenli, and I am the housekeeper in the lord's mansion, if the lord has anything to do in the future, although the order is, I will definitely do it properly for the lord." Yan Wenli immediately bent down and said politely.
"After that, I'll leave the affairs of the family to you." Li Zhonghua said.
Li Zhonghua didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor Li Shimin would be so eager to see him immediately.
Although I really wanted to go to see my county man's mansion first, I couldn't disobey the holy order, so I could only follow Gonggong Liu into the palace.
Fortunately, there is Li Ke, the king of Shu, walking with him, although the emperor Li Shimin did not issue an order to let Li Ke enter the palace immediately, but Li Ke was ordered to go out of Beijing and supervise the smallpox madness in Yizhou.
After entering the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin directly asked Li Ke to go to the harem and saw his mother go.
The news that Li Ke, the king of Shu, was hunted down and killed had already spread to the palace, and Concubine Yin was very worried about her son and was always concerned about her son's safety.
"Good! Sure enough, you are a heroic young man, and your achievements are enough to make future generations never forget! Seeing that Li Zhonghua was handsome and handsome, Li Shimin smiled and nodded in praise.
"Your Majesty is the first emperor of the ages, the heavenly khan of the grassland people, who created the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, this is the real name passed down through the ages!
Although smallpox is fierce, there is no need to worry about Mingjun alive. ”
Seeing the living Li Shimin, Li Zhonghua was also very excited, if he could bring him to the future world, sell tickets every day, and let everyone come to visit him, he would definitely make a fortune!
If Li Zhonghua praises people, he will come as soon as he opens his mouth, and he will be happy in Li Shimin's heart! Who wouldn't want to hear good words! The emperor is more preferred.
"Ai Qingxiu has to boast again, I still can't do enough in many places! There are also many people in the world who live very poorly and can't even eat.
Otherwise, my queen would not have been sick in bed, and she has not improved for a long time, God is punishing me! The queen's suffering is being punished for me!
However, now that I have Aiqing, I have driven away the smallpox epidemic, and I believe that my queen will recover soon, Aiqing, do you say so? ”
