Chapter 123: More than 20 years of parting finally meet
"Your Majesty, the minister went to Qizhou this time and found that Qizhou was not affected by the drought. For His Royal Highness King Qi to extort the people, it is even more nonsense. Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
"Then I don't know what about the drought situation in the surrounding state capitals of Qizhou?" The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and asked Wei Zheng.
"Other surrounding state capitals are affected by the drought, and I am afraid that there may be no harvest this year. If there is a rain that can fall recently, it will be possible to plant a crop. Wei Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, the minister remembers that it is not only Qizhou that is the fief of His Royal Highness the King of Qi. Deng, Lai, Mi, Qing, Yi, and Yan are also the fiefdoms of His Royal Highness King Qi. ”
"However, His Royal Highness the King of Qi has been in Qizhou for more than a year, but he has not taken over the other six states in accordance with the emperor's holy decree. The minister felt that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was suspected of disrespecting the decree. Eldest Sun Wuji said.
"I said the eldest grandson Wuji, I don't know how much you know about the Shandong clan. If you are allowed to go to Shandong as an official, can you let the Shandong clan bow down? Cheng Yanjin on the side opened his mouth and asked the eldest grandson Wuji.
Cheng Biting Jin's words made the eldest grandson Wuji speechless for a while. After all, what Cheng Yanjin said is right, even if the eldest grandson Wuji arrives at the Shandong border, I am afraid it will be difficult to move an inch.
Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji was speechless, Cheng Yanjin continued to speak: "Emperor Qiqi, my old Cheng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushed to Qizhou last time, but I really saw the development of Qizhou. ”
"But Li Ke's kid is a little bit unprofessional, if he can really put all his mind on government affairs, the development in Qizhou will be unlimited."
"Father, what Lu Guogong said is true. Even if Erchen goes to Qizhou, he may not do better than the third brother. However, as Lu Guogong said, the third brother's mind is not on military and political matters. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Eldest Sun Wuji's expression became even more ugly. At the same time, he also strengthened his idea of giving up Li Chengqian.
At this time, Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, do you know what kind of expression His Royal Highness King Qi had when he heard the news that he was going to be grounded?" ”
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng with a puzzled expression, and then said: "What's so strange about this, it's nothing more than a bitter face." Is it possible to laugh heartily? ”
"The emperor is really wrong, when His Royal Highness the King of Qi learned the news that he was going to be grounded in the Thousand Buddha Temple for a year. Not to mention how happy he was, he even knelt down and kowtowed directly in the direction of Chang'an City to thank him. Wei Zheng said with a helpless expression.
"Others are all bitter when they hear the grounding, why is Li Ke so happy?" Li Shimin asked Wei Zheng strangely.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi's original words are that you can finally sleep until you wake up naturally. Even my brother-in-law doesn't want to disturb this king again. Wei Zheng said.
"It turns out that this kid is going to take the opportunity to be lazy and immediately order someone to pass on my will. The time limit is to let Li Ke, the king of Qi, lead the military and political affairs of the seven states. After a year, if he can't complete my explanation, then I will let him become a monk in Thousand Buddha Mountain. Li Shimin said angrily.
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he announced his retirement from the dynasty. Then he left the Taiji Hall angrily and went back to the Sleeping Palace Ganlu Hall.
Seeing Li Shimin leave, the Chinese military officials also left the Taiji Hall one after another. And at this moment, Li Shimin's personal eunuch Wang De stopped Wei Zheng.
"Wei Xiang, please stay, the emperor ordered Wei Xiang to go to the Ganlu Hall to see him." After stopping Wei Zheng, Wang De spoke.
"The prince returned to the emperor on his behalf, and said that Wei Zheng would go to the Ganlu Hall soon. However, if you want to bring someone with you, please wait for a while. After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and left the Taiji Palace.
……
"You said that Wei Xiang was going to bring someone to see me, I don't know who Wei Xiang could say he was going to bring?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Wang De.
Although Wei Xiang didn't say who it was, it could be seen from the smile on his face. This person can definitely make the emperor happy, and I can't guess who the slave is. Wang De opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
At this moment, I heard a eunuch come to report. It is said that Li Su, the king of Liang, came to the Ganlu Palace with Yang Shufei to see the driver.
His beloved concubine and son came, and Li Shimin naturally couldn't refuse. So he ordered the eunuchs to announce Yang Shufei and Li Su into the palace.
After the two entered the Manna Palace, they saluted Li Shimin first. After Li Shimin let the two of them get up, he asked, "Why did your mother and son come to the Manna Hall today?" ”
Although Concubine Yang Shu is Li Shimin's favorite concubine, she rarely comes to the Ganlu Hall without Li Shimin's summons. After all, Li Shimin usually handles government affairs in the Ganlu Palace.
And Li Shimin was very disgusted with the participation of the harem concubines in political affairs, and even the eldest grandson queen would not ask about the affairs of the court. Therefore, the harem concubines rarely come to the Ganlu Hall to find Li Shimin.
Hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, Concubine Yang Shufei said helplessly: "Isn't this a concubine who came with a concubine?" He said that there was an old man in the temple of manna today. ”
Hearing Yang Shufei's words, Li Shimin knew that the person Li Su said was definitely the same person as the person Wei Zheng went to bring.
So he opened his mouth and asked Li Su: "Who did you and Wei Xiang meet when we went to Qizhou this time?" Why is he so mysterious? ”
"Father, if it was an ordinary person, Wei Xiang would probably have told his father a long time ago. It is precisely because this person is not ordinary that Wei Xiang and his sons want to surprise their father. Li Su said to Li Shimin with a smile.
Just when Li Shimin and Yang Shufei couldn't guess who this person was, they heard that a eunuch came to report that Wei Zheng and Wei Cheng were coming.
Li Shimin was waiting for Wei Zheng, wanting to know what kind of person he was. will make Wei Zheng and Li Su so mysterious. So he immediately ordered someone to declare Wei Zheng into the palace.
After a short time, Wei Zheng walked in with a monk. The monk was dressed in a monk's robe and veiled, and it was impossible to see his appearance clearly. However, it can be seen that the monk is a woman.
Moreover, after this monk entered the Ganlu Palace, he did not follow Wei Zheng to salute Li Shimin, the Ninth Five-Year Venerable.
This couldn't help but make Li Shimin a little strange, but a figure appeared in his mind. So Li Shimin didn't even pay attention to Wei Zheng, and said, "Can you take off your veil and let me see your dignity." ”
Li Shimin didn't guess wrong, this person was Princess Nanyang who he had never let go. When Princess Nanyang took off her scarf, not only Li Shimin was stunned. Even Yang Shufei couldn't help but shed tears.
The sisters have been separated for more than 20 years, but when they meet today, one of them escapes into the empty door. How can this make Yang Shufei not grieve in her heart?
At this time, Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty." People, the minister sent it to you. The minister still had some official business to do, so he retired to the emperor first. ”
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Wang De. Wang De immediately understood and drove out all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Ganlu Palace.
In the end, the only ones left in the Ganlu Hall were Li Shimin and Yang Shufei. Even Li Su took the opportunity to sneak out of the Manna Palace.
