Chapter 1011: The Horses Are "Frightened"
"The princess escorted the horses into the city, and the horses were frightened and destroyed your mansion, this is what I told you!" I saw Li Shimin staring at the eyes of Zheng Zhong, Cui Gan and others, and then said his words word by word.
"The horses are frightened!" As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, everyone below was stunned, even Li Xiu and Eldest Sun Wuji didn't expect him to give such a reason that was not a reason, after all, this reason is too, Cui Gan's mansion is not in the same place, what kind of horse can be frightened to trample all the thirteen mansions to destroy?
"Your Majesty, this statement is a bit childish, isn't it?" Cui Gan couldn't help but ask with a gloomy face at this time, Li Shimin was insulting them for such a reason, after all, I am afraid that even a three-year-old child would not believe this kind of words.
"Hmph, I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm telling you what I've decided!" Li Shimin sneered at this time and said very domineeringly, from the moment the family sent someone to assassinate Li Xiu, it was already regarded as the family's official declaration of war against him, since both sides were already enemies, then he would not retreat half a step.
After Li Shimin's words were finished, he seemed to inadvertently glance at Cheng Biting Jin, who was standing there next to him, and as a result, the old fox, who was known as Li Shimin's first favorite general, immediately understood it, and said with a smile: "The old man has been riding a horse all his life, riding more horses than killing people, and it is very common for horses to be frightened, and today the princess's horse is frightened, maybe one day the old man's horse will also be frightened, no fuss!" ”
When Cheng Yanjin said that his horse was frightened, he bared his teeth and showed a bloody smile to Cui Gan and Zheng Zhong and others, although he was the son-in-law of the Cui family, he was Li Shimin's confidant, so at this critical moment, he has always stood on Li Shimin's side.
Cheng Yanjin is known as the "Bloody Butcher", and his most famous achievement is the slaughter of the city, especially the last time he and Hou Junji teamed up to drop smallpox in Tuyuhun, which led to the complete demise of the once powerful Tuyuhun, and made his murderous reputation reach its peak. Princess Pingyang's horses were "frightened" and Cui Gan's mansion was destroyed, and if a butcher's horse like Cheng Yanjin was "frightened", I am afraid that it would end up with a head rolling.
As the so-called Xiucai met the soldiers, Cui Gan and Zheng Zhong faced the threat of Cheng Biting Jin, although they were angry one by one, but they couldn't do anything about people like Cheng Biting Jin, after all, they were not afraid of fighting in the court, but they were afraid that Cheng Biting Jin would really make a mess, even if the other party didn't dare to kill, it would be enough for them to mess around with them.
"Okay, since you have no opinion, then this matter is settled, you stand down, I still have to ask about the assassination of the horse, I really don't have time to pay attention to your little things!" Li Shimin said with a big wave of his hand when he said this, and did not give Cui Gan a reason to refute at all.
"Your Majesty......"
But at this time, someone finally couldn't help but stand up, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was sharply interrupted by Li Shimin: "Stand down!" ”
In the face of the angry Li Shimin, Cui Gan and the others didn't dare to say anything, so they could only retreat silently, in fact, the reason why they gave up so easily was mainly because of their lack of confidence, especially in the face of Li Xiu, some people had ghosts in their hearts, even if they were like Cui Gan, who had no ghosts in their hearts, they also knew that Li Xiu's assassination was inseparable from them.
Seeing Cui Gan and the others leave the Liangyi Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, although your handling of this matter is relieving, it will make the family even more dissatisfied, I'm afraid something will happen in the future?" ”
"Hmph, they have even dared to assassinate my ministers, what else can't be done, I will never give up on this matter!" Li Shimin snorted coldly at this time, since he had decided to completely solve the family, Li Shimin did not plan to give the family a good face.
"How dare they assassinate the colt?" Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but show a shocked expression when he heard this, although he vaguely saw something just now, but Li Shimin didn't say it explicitly, so he didn't know that Li Xiu had been assassinated.
"Yes, there was a fire in the printing office during the third watch last night, and His Majesty summoned me to the palace, but I was attacked by a group of black-clothed people outside the city." Li Xiu explained to Cheng Yanjin at this time that the other party was not only Li Shimin's confidant, but also had a good personal relationship with him, so there was no need to hide this matter from him.
"No wonder the eldest princess will destroy the homes of Cui Gan and these people, if it were me, I'm afraid I would really be unable to help but kill him and bleed!" After receiving Li Xiu's affirmative answer, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but glance at Cui Gan in shock and the direction they left, he never dreamed that so many things would happen in just one night.
"Li Xiu, I don't think the family will be so resigned, I will send you some additional guards, in addition to the printing bureau, the coinage bureau and other places, you also need to strengthen your vigilance!" At this time, Li Shimin ordered again, although he was very domineering just now and suppressed more than a dozen officials representing the family, but with his understanding of the family, the other party would definitely not be reconciled, so they must also be careful.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely pay more attention!" Li Xiu also replied immediately.
Then Li Shimin and Li Xiu and others discussed the matter again, and the search for those people in black has also been carried out on a large scale, although the hope of catching people is very small, but they can't just give up, and Dali Temple also joined the investigation of Li Xiu's assassination, and Li Xiu also got the news that Princess Pingyang had gone home at this time, which made him finally put his mind at ease.
Yesterday I tossed for most of the night, and now I have been busy for most of the day, and Li Xiu was injured again, and he was also sleepy at this time, Li Shimin also saw it, so he let him go back to rest, and the next thing was naturally handled by him and the eldest grandson Wuji.
So Li Xiu left the Liangyi Palace, but he didn't expect Cheng Yanjin to come out with him, and immediately walked a few steps to catch up with Li Xiu and said: "Is the situation of your attack yesterday serious, can you tell me in detail?" ”
"A hundred guards, in the end, only a dozen or so were left, even I personally shot a few men in black, and the wound on my arm was also left at that time, old general, do you say Yan is not serious?" Li Xiu smiled bitterly at this time, and then told the details of his attack yesterday.
"These rotten Confucians, full of benevolence and morality, but when they start, they are blacker than anyone else!" Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but scold angrily after hearing this.
"Who says it's not, I survived this time thanks to General Xiang's rescue, otherwise it would have been really dangerous." Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little scared at this time.
Just as they were talking, the two of them had already left the palace gate, but at this time, they saw a subordinate galloping over, holding up a letter with both hands and saying: "Donkey, my lord has a letter for you!" ”
