Chapter 698: A Shocking Case (4)
"Your Majesty, the courtiers have been wronged!" Li Jiancheng already knew who this woman was, and when the Qilin Secret Guard sent Chen Zhen'er's secret play, he also sent Chen Zhen'er's portrait, Li Jiancheng naturally knew who this woman was! And, I have to say, this Chen Zhen'er is indeed very beautiful! However, Li Jiancheng was not interested in Chen Zhen'er. On the one hand, there are many beauties in Li Jiancheng's harem, and his simple beauty can no longer attract Li Jiancheng's attention; Second, Li Jiancheng secretly saw that Li Chengdao's eyes had been secretly looking at Chen Zhen'er, Li Jiancheng was deeply for the later Tang Ming Emperor's private daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan, which caused the Tang Dynasty to be sad and sad, as the emperor, what woman did he want, why make the father and son turn against each other for a woman? The most important thing is the third point, that is, Li Chengdao is one of the candidates for the prince that Li Jiancheng values, if Li Chengdao marries Chen Zhen'er, not only will it not help Li Chengdao's power, but also because Chen Zhen'er's bloodline and family affairs will be attacked, because Li Chengdao is the prince, and Chen Zhen'er is only a commoner, and his father is a small landlord. The identities and status of the two are extremely incommensurate, and Li Chengdao has not chosen a concubine so far, and there is not even a concubine, if Chen Zhen'er is accepted, even if it is not the wife of the main room, but just a side concubine, those daughters of the family who have been rejected by Li Chengdao, as well as the forces behind them, will still feel a kind of shame, which can also weaken the support of some people in the court for Li Chengdao and reduce the pressure on Li Jiancheng to delay the establishment of the crown prince. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng smiled in his heart - he has been an emperor for a long time, and he is becoming more and more like a qualified feudal emperor.
"Ahh Girl, get up! Flat! Flat! Mingyu, don't hurry up and give the King of Hengshan and Miss Zhen'er a seat! ”
"Thank you, Father!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When Li Chengdao and Chen Zhen'er sat down, Li Jiancheng asked Li Chengdao:
"Acceptance! At the beginning, I let you and Chenglu go out to travel, but I assigned homework. Now, you're going to give me your answers. After Li Chengdao listened to Li Jiancheng's words, he immediately took out a letter from his body and respectfully handed it to Mingyu's father-in-law beside Li Jiancheng.
"Father! This is what Erchen has seen and heard when he travels to the south of the Yangtze River, as well as a little bit of his own opinion, I hope that my father will see it! Li Chengdao described the trade between Jiangnan and the maritime countries, and the commercial trade with the maritime countries in the Jiangnan area, many places have formed a complete industrial chain. These industrial chains not only affected Jiangnan, but even began to penetrate into Qilu and Hebei. However, Li Jiancheng was not interested in this for the time being, and put Li Chengdao's twists and turns aside.
"Acceptance! I heard that you personally went to Hangzhou and Muzhou to investigate for this woman, what did you find? ......" As soon as Li Chengdao and Chen Zhen'er heard Li Jiancheng's words, they immediately knelt down in fright.
"Father, the sons are not because they covet this woman's beauty, but for the stability of the father's country and the well-being of the people! Father! ”
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are wronged, and the world will have misunderstandings, but, Your Majesty, the courtiers and His Royal Highness have absolutely nothing to do with each other. There is no friendship at all! In addition, after this incident, the courtiers and daughters fell in love. Immediately with the green lantern statue as a companion, His Royal Highness has nothing to do with it in this life. After Li Chengdao heard Chen Zhen'er's words, there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes, but it was fleeting, but it did not escape Li Jiancheng's eyes. In fact, when Li Jiancheng said this, he was just scared. It's just a little pleasure to be a man and an emperor. In addition, Li Chengdao has returned to Chang'an, this 'pustule' is also going to be broken, there are already rebound forces in the court, and Chen Zhen'er is just the attack point of those rebound forces against Li Chengdao, as a father, Li Jiancheng must also think about his son. Seeing Chen Zhen'er's oath, Li Jiancheng was unwilling to continue. Change the subject now:
"Okay, Chengdao, let's talk about your harvest in Hangzhou!"
"Yes! Father, son obeys! After Erchen went to Hangzhou, he found that someone was watching, and many people were speechless, and Erchen had no clue for the time being. Later, thanks to the help of the 'nobles', the evidence of the crimes of the eldest grandson and Jiang Xingwang was obtained...... "Li Chengdao told Li Jiancheng everything he saw and heard in Hangzhou. After Li Chengdao arrived in Hangzhou, he found that someone was secretly following him, and after arriving in Hangzhou, he went to someone else's shop, and as soon as others heard his accent, they immediately kept silent, and after staying in Hangzhou for several days, he didn't ask for any clue. I know that one night, a person sneaked into Lee Seung-do's bed:
"Hmmm! Who are you? ”
"Don't panic, Childe, there is no malice in the next place! It's just Childe, I don't understand one thing below, what is Childe doing here? ”
"Humph! What else could there be? It's just to come here in Hangzhou to do business, and see, is there any good way to make money? ”
"Oh! Is it? The man in black was about to leave, and suddenly, he rushed to Li Chengdao:
"What are you going to do?" Li Chengdao was about to defend, but the man in black moved faster and grabbed Li Chengdao's waist directly.
"Hmmm! Dare to ask Childe, did he save a woman surnamed Chen in the canal? The man in black was holding an embroidered purse. Lee Seung-do saw the purse - it was untied from her waist when Lee Seung-do and Chen Zhen'er broke up. There is an embroidered word for chastity on it.
"Childe, Zhen'er has no long things now, this fragrant purse is embroidered by Zhen'er herself, please stay and do it for a few years!" Li Chengdao saw that the black clothes were very familiar with this purse:
"Brother, who are you? And if you know this purse, just explain your intention directly! ”
"Childe hasn't answered the next question yet!" Lee Seung-do smiled:
"This brother, you should answer the next question first!" At this time, Li Chengdao's guards probably heard the sound of Li Chengdao's house talking and rushed in. The man in black was on guard, and suddenly, he shouted to Li Chengdao:
"You're not a businessman, you're a member of the government, and you're a prominent figure in the palace?"
"Hmmm! How do you know! The man in black removed his face scarf, revealing a bland face.
"My lord, if you are here this time to investigate the affairs of the Hangzhou Assassin Yamen and the Muzhou Assassin Yamen. So. In a few days, I will definitely send the evidence of the crimes of Sun Xuan, the chief of the Hangzhou assassin, and Jiang Xingwang, the assassin of Muzhou, to the adults. Leave! The man in black was about to turn around and walk away, when Li Chengdao stopped the man in black.
"Slow! The first thing you have to tell me is, who are you? Also, how can you get it. Evidence of the eldest grandson and Jiang Xingwang! ”
"This lord, please rest assured, you have received the Chen family's life-saving grace when you are in trouble, so you must report it, and in addition, three days later, you will definitely send the evidence of the crimes of the eldest grandson and Jiang Xingwang to the adult. Do it in the next word! The man in black turned around and jumped out of the window and went to the roof, Li Chengdao sighed:
"What a beautiful kung fu!" Three days later, Lee Chengdao had an extra stack of letters and ledgers in front of him. It turned out that since the third year of Yongshuo, after the eldest grandson was appointed as the assassin of Hangzhou, he accepted the bribes of Jiang Xingwang, who was then Hangzhou Hucao and joined the army, and began to collude with each other, and most of the property bribed by the eldest grandson was provided by Zhang Qianli, a partial house of the Zhang family in Wu County. And Jiang Xingwang was also promoted by the eldest grandson, and gradually changed from a five-grade minor official to the Muzhou Thorn History to which Hangzhou belongs, and the four-grade official of the imperial court, and the eldest grandson, Jiang Xingwang, Zhang Qianli and other three people were embarrassed and colluded with each other, and gradually occupied the majority of Hangzhou's silk, porcelain, tea and other businesses, and because of the money of Li Jiancheng's inner government, his eyes also began to look at Snow Sugar. However, the land around Hangzhou is full of flowers, and those who plant mulberry trees plant mulberry trees, and those who plant tea trees plant tea trees. In addition, the rabbit does not eat the grass next to the nest, and the eldest grandson is not willing to go too far, and if the contradiction with the gentry in Hangzhou is too great, the face of the eldest grandson is not good-looking. Therefore, he set his sights on Muzhou, and the Chen family is the most popular and the most land in Muzhou. This induced the tragedy of the Chen family. And what interests Li Chengdao the most is a letter written by Zhang Qianli to his eldest grandson:
"The eldest grandson of the world, Junjian, the eldest son of the saint, His Royal Highness Li Chengdao, the king of Hengshan, recently inspected Jiangnan, and arrived at my courtyard a few days ago. After a long time, they immediately went south along the canal. Brother Wang paid close attention to the northern merchants who went south, especially those with an accent in Guanzhong, and if they encountered them, they should not be careless. We must not let Chang'an know a few words about our secrets. Remember! Remember! After Li Chengdao saw this letter, he said with a smile:
"Humph! No wonder, I came to Hangzhou these days, and I didn't inquire about some things clearly, it turned out that the joints of the organs were here. At this moment, a man suddenly entered the door.
"Let go of me, let go of me!"
"Hmmm! Who are you? When the man in black saw the man who had been brought in, he immediately cried out:
"Brother Zhang, it's you!"
"Brother Shen! Let's go! Jiang Xingwang already knew that the letter had been stolen. So, immediately send me to Hangzhou to report to the eldest grandson! I've come here on a fast horse, and I'll be sending you a letter at once. Li Chengdao shouted to his subordinates:
"Let's go! Also, after leaving Hangzhou, immediately change to the land route and return to Chang'an! After giving the command, he asked the man in black:
"Brother Shen? Your surname is Shen!? Also, who is this person, and what is your relationship with the Chen family! The man in black replied to Lee Chengdao:
"This adult, after leaving Hangzhou, I will explain to the adult slowly, now, I can only tell the adult that this gentleman's name is Zhang Shuyin, this person is absolutely reliable, please leave this place immediately!" After arriving in Chang'an, Li Chengdao learned that the name of the man in black was Shen Guang, and he had held an official position in Chang'an when he was in the former Sui Dynasty. Later, because of some changes, he was exiled to Jiangnan, and then was rescued by Chen Zhen'er's father once. And Zhang Shuyin was identified by Chen Zhen'er, Li Chengdao knew that Zhang Shuyin used to be Chen Zhen'er's brother-in-law, and at the beginning, Chen Zhen'er's father and Zhang Shuyin's father were world friends, so Zhang Shuyin was in charge of his father and set up a baby kiss with Chen Zhen'er's sister. It was only later that Zhang Shuyin's father died early, and Zhang Shuyin kept filial piety for his father, so he did not officially marry, and when Zhang Shuyin's filial piety period passed, Chen Zhen'er's sister couldn't afford to be sick, and in the end, she also died. Zhang Shuyin did not become the son-in-law of the Chen family. However, Zhang Shuyin and the Chen family still have a very close relationship. Later, Zhang Shuyin served in the Hangzhou Yamen, and was respected by the eldest grandson and Jiang Xingwang, and became a close confidant of the two of them, but he did not know the relationship between Zhang Shuyin and the Chen family. After the Chen family suffered hardship, Zhang Shuyin has been waiting for an opportunity to avenge the Chen family. By chance, he met Shen Guang who was worshipping in front of the grave of the head of the Chen family. So they joined forces, hoping to find an opportunity to assassinate Changsun Xuan and Jiang Xingwang. However, the eldest grandson and Jiang Xingwang have been heavily defended, until Zhang Qianli's secret letter arrived, Zhang Shuyin did not know that Li Jiancheng's eldest son Li Chengdao had come to Jiangnan, and it was very likely that he would come to Hangzhou, and he had to strictly guard against people with Guanzhong accents, until people with Guanzhong accents found the purse around Li Chengdao's waist when he was wandering around the street. immediately realized that this person was Li Jiancheng's eldest son, Li Chengdao, the king of Hengshan. After listening to Li Chengdao's narration, Li Jiancheng ordered Li Chengdao to bring Shen Guang and Zhang Shuyin into the palace to meet him, and when Zhang Shuyin and Shen Guang were brought in by Mingyu's father-in-law. Li Jiancheng's eyes stared at Shen Guang for a while:
"Dare to ask this strong man, Your Excellency is the famous Meat Flying Immortal in Chang'an back then-Shen Guang." When Shen Guang heard Li Jiancheng call himself, he immediately nodded and agreed:
"Your Majesty, the minister is none other than Shen Guang, the meat flying immortal who was famous in Chang'an back then." Li Jiancheng helped Shen Guang and Zhang Shuyin up. Pointing to Shen Guang, he said to Li Chengdao:
"Acceptance! This strong man named Shen Guang was very famous in Chang'an back then! At the beginning, when I came to Chang'an, I heard a strange thing, when the construction of the Zen Temple, there were more than ten zhang high poles in the temple, just happened to encounter the rope breakage, could not be connected, the monks in the temple were very anxious. When Shen Guang saw this, he said to the monks, "Bring the rope and I can connect it." The monks were pleasantly surprised, so they brought him the ropes. Shen Guang held the rope with his mouth and climbed up step by step until he reached the top of the pole. After tying the rope, let go of his hands and feet, soar into the air, resist the ground with his palms, and walk backwards for dozens of steps. The onlookers were pleasantly surprised and admired this Shen Guang hero, who was called Shen Guang "Meat Flying Immortal" at that time. Shen Guang smiled awkwardly at Li Jiancheng and Li Chengdao:
"Your Majesty, Lord Wang! When the grass people first came to Chang'an, they were uninhibited, often thinking about establishing fame and fame, and they were not informal. The people who befriended were all heroic people, and those were all small carving insect skills, which were not worth mentioning. Li Jiancheng instructed Li Chengdao:
"Chengdao, these two strong men will be placed with you first, these two strong men are heroes in the world, they must be treated well!"
"Yes! Sons obey! ”
