In the study behind the Taiji Palace, Wei Zheng took Yang Wengan to see Li Yuan, and Yang Wengan knelt on the ground and slowly told the truth of the incident in Gyeongju before and after the rebellion.

After the past few days, coupled with the constant pillow wind between Li Yuanji and his two concubines, Li Yuanji has completely calmed down at this time. He himself is not stupid, but he is a little indecisive between the choices of his two sons, and during this time he has slowly realized that there is something strange in this matter.

Looking at Yang Wengan lying on the ground, Li Yuan opened his mouth and asked, "Are you saying that before I issued a decree to summon you, there were rumors in Gyeongju City that I wanted to kill you?" ”

"Exactly! Chen was originally a martial artist, and his brain was not very active, and he was afraid that he would inevitably do something stupid when he died."

At this time, Wei Zheng, who was on the side, opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, if Yang Wengan really has the intention of rebellion, how can he dare to risk death to see you."

At this time, Yang Wengan also said: "What Lord Wei said is exactly what the villain thinks, why bother to come to the saint again if he really has the only heart, run away, why come back."

Li Yuan raised his head and thought about it and said to Wei: "Wei Qing will put Yang Wengan in prison first, but it must be treated well, and there must be no bad pools, and Pei will be sent to see him."

After seeing Pei Lian, Li Yuan said to Pei Lin after telling him about the situation he had just seen Yang Wengan: "Qiao Gongshan and Zhu Er have returned to the capital, Pei Qing will personally interrogate these two, and they must find out."

After listening to this, Pei smiled bitterly and said: "Sage, it is a meritorious move for these two people to expose the prince's disobedience, and Yang Wengan's conspiracy against him has become a fact in the eyes of outsiders. How to suspect the two of them, now that the two of them are instructed by this person, he just doesn't say that the minister is still punishing meritorious people, who in the world still dares to report the great rebellion? The minister suggested that there was no need for trial, so he had to reward the two and release them. It's just that this bureau is a bit subtle, and the prince's loss is decided, so I only ask the saint to be lenient with the prince."

After speaking, Pei Lin knelt down in front of Li Yuan.

Thinking that the second concubine Zhang Yin said yesterday that the prince was wronged, Li Yuan sighed and said after listening to it: "That's the only way."

On the eighth day of the lunar month, a light snow fell on several plum trees in the school, some of the plum blossoms on the branches bloomed early, some bloomed late, the stamens were white and red, and the petals were lubricated and transparent.

With a lonely face, Li Shimin took his eldest grandson to the school with a meal, a big bowl of hot Laba porridge, two drawers of xiaolong, Li Shimin wiped his mouth and said to Xiao Zheng: "Brother Xian will accompany me to go for a walk outside."

When the two arrived in the courtyard, Li Shimin was silent for a long time at the plum tree, and Xiao Zheng didn't speak, just watched the white breath exhaled from his mouth disappear into the air.

"Yesterday, the prince was lifted from the grounding, Yang Wen was a thousand miles away, Qiao Gongshan and Zhu Erhuan rewarded a hundred dollars, and the original good situation turned out to be such a result", Li Shimin was quite discouraged after speaking.

Looking at the snowflakes falling from the plum blossoms, Xiao Zheng smiled and said to Li Shimin: "We are facing too many opponents, not only the current prince, but also the saints, including the important ministers of the court such as Pei Lian, and the influence of the harem, and it is reasonable to fail."

"Pei Lone, this horseman! At that time, my dear friend Liu Wenjing was framed to death by him, and I will never spare him if he has the opportunity in the future," Li Shimin scolded angrily in the courtyard.

Xiao Zheng looked at Li Shimin, who was a little short of breath, and said: "Your Highness should be like this plum blossom, other flowers probably bloom in spring, but it is different." Her flowers bloom in winter, the colder they are, the more energetic and delicate they are. No matter how many hardships he has experienced and how much bullying he has received, he has always refused to bow his head and break his knots. Your Highness deserves to do the same."

Speaking of this, Xiao Zheng suddenly remembered a poem and said: "

The dust is very tired, and the rope head is tightly done.

Without a cold bone, how to get the plum blossom fragrance.

After hearing this, Li Shimin's spirits perked up, and he arched his hand at Xiao and said, "Thank you Brother Xian for being vigilant, it seems that we have indeed underestimated the strength of the other party, if we defeat them one by one, when will we wait?" I can't wait."

The two of them walked back to the room, and Li Shimin suddenly found that the eldest grandson was fiddling with the objects on the table of several children, watching this thing use a few wooden sticks to put together a square frame, and use bamboo poles to pierce rows of wooden beads.

"What is this?" Li asked curiously.

"Abacus, Erlang, this is much easier to use than a calculation, and it is easy to learn," said Chang Xian before Xiao Zheng could answer.

"It's really very useful, Aya, you see, just memorize these formulas", said the chubby Li Tai muttered in his mouth: "Six one goes to five into one, seven goes to two to five into one .......", Li Shimin didn't know what his son was reading, but he knew from the expressions of these children that these children must like these arithmetic that make adults seem boring.

Seeing this, he also suddenly became interested, and opened his mouth to ask: "There are 5,326 soldiers today, and then 1,976 people, how many people are there?" ”

"A total of seven thousand three hundred and two people" Before a few children could make an abacus, Xiao Changning, the youngest, opened his mouth and said it.

Li Chengqian also pulled the abacus beads a few times and said, "Aya, Changning is not wrong."

"Go, get some gentlemen from the bookkeeper!" Turning his head and saying to Ji Chun, who was following.

When the three account offices heard that they were going to compete with a few children, they were not happy, but King Qin had to compare them.

After a round of competition, the calculations of the three bookkeepers were still arranged, and the counting of the children's counting beads came out after they cracked. Especially Xiao Changning, he didn't use an abacus, he lay on the table, and began to count as soon as the question came out, and it was not bad at all, until the last group of people were giving Xiao Changning the results.

The three bookkeepers looked discouraged, and when they came in just now, they saw that the disdain of these children had all become incredible, and one of the bookkeepers cried and shouted to learn, and said that if there is this abacus, this calculation should enter the stove hall.

If these calculations are used in the calculation of marching formations and provisions, they are much better than those who join the army with their pockets on their backs. Seeing that his two sons easily subdued a few old account rooms, Li Shimin was very happy in his heart, and he admired Xiao Zheng even more, and the eldest grandson also patted Xiao Changning's little brain and called this little guy a genius in arithmetic.

When Li Shimin and the two were sent out of the gate of the academy, the eldest grandson happily said to Xiao Shiyi: "Thank you Mr. Xiao for teaching this has made the two children have such great achievements, thank you, Mr."

Xiao Xian said that he didn't dare to take it seriously, and said to Li Shimin after being polite: "Some things seem to be difficult, such as this arithmetic, which seems to be extremely cumbersome, but it can be easily solved in a different way and in a different way."

Looking at Li Shimin thoughtfully, Xiao Zheng continued: "Now the sage is swaying from side to side, that is, he is hesitant between the prince and you, from a certain point of view, the sage, including the important ministers of the court, is more inclined to the prince, but what if the prince dies accidentally?" ”。

Li Shimin looked at Xiao in some surprise and said, "Brother Xian thinks the same way? ”

"Yes, there are no two heavens and no two lords of the country, if the crown prince does not die, how can it be the turn of your highness, even if we and other existing miracles and clever strategies are not as good as the sage of today to gently push and fall apart. There is no need for stratagem in the face of the strength of the duel. It's like this arithmetic in front of me and Xiao Changning. There is only one prince, and now King Qin, you and the crown prince are on the same page, and the other party has wanted to put you to death several times, it seems that His Royal Highness has not made that decision,"

"Let's discuss this later," Li said with a long sigh.

After walking for a while, the eldest grandson opened his mouth and said: "Erlang, you can also see Mr. Xiao's talent, and you must consider his suggestion."
