Chapter 154: Acting
"Yuan'an, I don't believe it, I don't believe that you abandoned me like this, you must come back to me, right?"
Li Yan'er's eyes trembled slightly, and the palm she had been holding opened slightly, but it was the farewell book.
In the dead of night, in the Taiji Palace, in Li Shimin's study, the lights are bright.
Outside the door of the study, a guard with a knife at his waist walked up and down the door, his eyes blazing, but not a fly could escape his eyes.
"Oops!"
There was a roar of pain from inside the door, and the guard outside the door tightened his face, and then directly split the door with one palm, grabbed and pulled out half of the knife and entered the room.
"Your Majesty!?"
The guard shouted, looked around, and saw Li Shimin sitting on the ground at a glance.
Seeing that Li Shimin was unharmed, the guard said strangely: "Your Majesty, you are"
After Li Shimin got up slowly, he blamed: "I am reviewing the recital, but a big mouse has come and disturbed me, why don't you find it out for me quickly?" Immediate execution! ”
"Huh? Mouse? ”
The guard looked around with a puzzled expression, but then bowed down and said, "Yes, the minister will find you immediately." ”
Speaking of which, the guards hurriedly searched around.
The guards searched the huge room carefully, but did not find any mice, so they had to frown and go to Li Shimin to confess.
"Your Majesty, the minister failed to find the mouse, and please punish Your Majesty." The guard bowed on one knee.
"You are not good at escorting, of course you will be punished, so let's do it, you will be relieved of the post of Qianniuwei, go to the treasury to get a hundred taels of gold and go back to your hometown to standby." Li Shimin said.
"Back home?"
The guard's face was stunned, and then he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't do this to your subordinates, or your subordinates will look for it again."
"No need, I'll find someone else to do this work of removing rats, you can go down."
"Your Majesty"
The guard wanted to say something, but seeing Li Shimin's non-negotiable appearance, he had to sigh, and then bowed and retreated.
And just after the guards withdrew from the door, Li Shimin exhaled: "Isn't this a bit cruel?" Forget it, I'll call you back later. ”
Thinking of this, Li Shimin continued to sit on the chair and began to review the papers.
The next morning, the sky was a little dark, and there was even some gusty wind.
On the small bridge in the Imperial Garden, Li Shimin, Wei Zhengfang, Xuanling and other officials were talking about something.
"Hahaha, the wind is beautiful today, and the flowers are blooming brightly."
Bang~
Before Li Shimin's words fell, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, and dark clouds gradually gathered.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty today, your words are a little erratic, and Qianniuwei is gone, so strange?"
"Shhh, be quiet, how can you and I figure out Your Majesty's thoughts?"
"Qianniuwei rolled up and went home early in the morning, and it is said that His Majesty's study made a fuss."
"Mouse?"
Everyone whispered a few times, but they didn't dare to speculate in the slightest.
"Uh, ahem"
Li Shimin coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then looked into the distance.
In the distance, a figure is getting closer and closer, but it is Li Sicong.
Li Sicong also saw the small bridge where everyone was, and his steps couldn't help but speed up a little.
When Li Si came to the vicinity of the small bridge, Li Shimin and Li Sicong met a look, and then pretended to stumble and fell off the small bridge.
This small bridge is only half a leg high, and the flowing water under the bridge is also artificially excavated, which can only hold the soles of one person's feet.
"Your Majesty!"
The ministers exclaimed, that is, they wanted to jump down to save Li Shimin.
However, to everyone's amazement, Li Sicong didn't know when he came out, and he had already carried Li Shimin on his back and returned to the shore.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Li Sicong worried.
Li Shimin looked at the ministers, and then said: "Thanks to your escort, otherwise I would have fallen into the water, and the consequences would have been unimaginable." ”
"That's what a courtier should do." Li Sicong bowed and saluted.
"Good! There is a lack of talent like you around me, and this Qianniuwei just has one vacant, and from today onwards, you will also be a Qianniuwei, waiting for my dispatch, are you willing? Li Shimin asked.
Li Sicong knelt down and said, "The minister's order!" ”
Li Shimin nodded: "Since there is a meritorious service in saving the driver, then there will be a reward, let's say, what do you want?" ”
Li Sicong glanced at the dazed ministers, and then said: "Your Majesty wants a two-mile radius of land to be used as a research weapon, and you can ask for a hundred taels of gold." ”
Hearing this, many courtiers let out bursts of dissatisfaction.
"Isn't this kid crazy? It's a lion's mouth! ”
"That is, I think Your Majesty will definitely not agree to him."
Everyone looked at Li Sicong with an expression like a madman.
Before Li Shimin could speak, Wei Zheng took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, isn't it inappropriate for this son to serve as an important Qianniuwei after meeting you for the second time?" And, isn't the reward a bit much? ”
When Li Sicong heard this, he didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction, but just smiled lightly: "The prime minister's meaning, don't you think that Your Majesty's life is not worth these two miles of land and a hundred taels of gold?" ”
"When did I say that? You"
"Then since the prime minister didn't mean that, wouldn't it be because His Majesty gave less?"
"You, you"
Wei Zheng was so angry that he couldn't stand on his feet: "You dare to frame the old man? ”
Speaking of this, Wei Zheng said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no intention of saying this, and please make a clear judgment to Your Majesty." ”
"Do you have any opinions?"
Li Shimin looked around, but no one spoke.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin coughed lightly and said: "Since this is the case, it is according to Yuan'an's intentions, and two miles of land and one hundred taels of gold are allowed." ”
"Your Majesty, you"
Wei Zheng wanted to say something, but was gagged by Li Shimin: "Okay, this matter will not be mentioned again, I am tired, let's disperse, Yuan'an stays, and I will go to the study to play a few games of chess." ”
"Obey."
"No."
After everyone replied, they retreated one after another, and soon only Li Sicong and Li Shimin were left.
"How's it going, how is this play I played?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Sicong raised his thumb: "Of course Your Majesty is powerful, and you can't see the flaws at all, but although this time it is barely reasonable, but Wei Zheng, this old guy, is really not good." ”
"Don't worry, you have me as a backing, as long as there are no big forks, there should be no problem, the key is that your elixir must be refined as soon as possible." Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will do his best." Li Sicong said.
