It's dawn. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It's still rainy.

There was a man squatting on the threshold of the post hall, looking at the curtain-like drizzle in a daze.

"What do you think?" a small figure came silently to the person's side.

"I didn't think about anything, why didn't you sleep and run out" The squatting man didn't look back and asked rhetorically.

"Huh. I can't sleep, I want to talk to you," the little boy said with a smile.

"Why, the excitement hasn't calmed down yet."

"Well, now my heart is still pounding, and I don't feel sleepy at all when I lie down on the bed," the little boy said honestly without denying it.

"It's normal, no one can calm down when they encounter this kind of thing, let alone you, and I'm the same. By the way, have they all slept," the squatting man asked, turning his head to look at the young man.

"I slept, I escaped in the rain all night and was scared, I was so tired that I couldn't eat, I drank some ginger soup to ward off the cold, and I fell asleep."

"Just sleep"

"By the way, Wu Yuanqing, I haven't asked you yet, what happened after you left us, why did you kill Zhang Cheng." The little boy also followed Wu Yuanqing's example and squatted on the threshold. is not skilled in business, squatting on the threshold and staggering, but also reaching out to grasp the door frame to stabilize the figure.

The little boy is the crown prince Li Chengqian, and the squatting is Wu Yuanqing.

"How did Zhang Cheng die, wipe, I'm so angry when I talk about it, that old thing is looking for death by himself, what's not good to play, he actually blew himself up, and almost killed me with me" Wu Yuanqing said angrily. Then he told Li Chengqian in detail what happened later.

"Hahaha, yes, the old thing is called the sins of heaven is forgivable, and the sins of oneself cannot be lived. Even God can't stand it, and he wants to leave his bones gone. Li Chengqian laughed uncontrollably.

"Cut, it's my bomb that killed him, and it has something to do with God. I also wondered, the bomb didn't explode, it must have been a dud caused by the water after I threw it out, why did the old guy take it and look at it, and was frightened by me, he rubbed it on the lamp and blew it up, this is not scientific" Wu Yuanqing was puzzled.

"Science, what is science, I think God can't stand it" Li Chengqian didn't know what science Wu Yuanqing was talking about, and he was very stubborn in thinking that it was God's punishment.

"Science is ............." Wu Yuanqing wanted to explain what science is, but in a hurry, he couldn't organize the language, and in annoyance, he came to the sentence "Little brat, you don't understand it."

"Cut, I don't think you know, it's nonsense on purpose" Li Chengqian glanced at Wu Yuanqing with disdain.

Wu Yuanqing was so angry in his heart, but he couldn't tell what the hell science was when the words came to his mouth, so he could only stare at Li Chengqian angrily, ready to kill this dead little prince with his eyes.

"Okay, okay, don't look at me like that, it's scary. You haven't said what happened after Zhang Cheng's death" Li Chengqian was uncomfortable and interrupted.

"After Zhang Cheng's death, everything was easy. The rest are all little minions, their biggest reliance is dead, originally this matter has nothing to do with them, I was scared, said that I would punish the nine clans, without Zhang Cheng fanning, they were all scared to death. Then I said that as long as I made sure that you were okay, I would help them intercede and save the lives of their families, and they would obediently help me find you one by one. Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.

"It's as simple as that? Do they just take your word for it? What if you're lying to them. If it were me, I would run away and hide far away" Li Chengqian was surprised, what Wu Yuanqing said was too easy.

"Run? Where to run? The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. How far can you run with two legs, do you think this is a robbery and murder, if the government does not act, there is still a possibility of escape. This is a terrible crime for them to assassinate the prince. There is no way for the emperor to let them escape, and he will definitely catch and kill them in Huangquan. Since there is no possibility of escaping, it is better to take a gamble that I will keep my promise and save their families' lives," Wu Yuanqing explained.

"Well, I'm speechless about what you said." Li Chengqian could only laugh and was speechless.

"Zhang Cheng, this old thing, just died like this, to be honest, it was too cheap for him, and he died and affected so many people. There were more than 400 people last night, and almost 300 died, and I heard from the guards that there were more than 100 people left injured, so what should we do? Li Chengqian thought of so many people who had been locked up, and asked worriedly, "Now that it's raining outside, the river is surging, and the wooden bridge has been completely submerged, and I can't cross it." Not only could we not cross the river, but these people could only be locked up here, and the palace maids who accompanied them were also left in the city, and they must be anxious without news from us. ”

"They are still in a hurry, the key is that this post station is a small post station, there are usually no people, and the food is delivered once a few days, so there is not much left now. There is definitely not enough food for so many of us. So now food is the top priority. Wu Yuanqing said helplessly.

"Ah, I can't even eat enough, so what can I do" Li Chengqian was also dumbfounded.

After talking for a long time, his throat was a little itchy, and he spit out a mouthful of phlegm into the puddle in the courtyard, and Wu Yuanqing snorted coldly: "What can I do." Cold. We will eat the food tightly, and then let the guards go to the mountain to see if they can catch some rabbits and pheasants or something, and as for the more than 100 people, starve them first. The province has dishonest people looking for opportunities to escape. ”

"Since you are talking about these people, Cheng Qian, I think you have to write to Your Majesty as soon as possible, talk about this matter, these people are all forced, and they have not caused substantial harm, I think it is okay to punish the nine clans, and send them to the frontier. Specifically, you beg Your Majesty," Wu Yuanqing Zhengse said.

"What, you still have to be distributed. They are also quite pitiful, and we have killed so many people, I don't know how many people have lost their fathers, sons, and husbands, and you still want me to beg my father to send them to the frontier, isn't it better to let them die" Li Chengqian's immature little face flushed, and he glared at Wu Yuanqing angrily.

"Otherwise, would you just let them go, do you think it's possible? If you dare to assassinate the prince, whether you are persecuted or not, you will be punished by the nine clans. It's not like you can forget it if you don't pursue it. You have to ask Your Majesty if you agree. And there is no need to ask about this matter, and I know that His Majesty will definitely not pardon them. At most, for the sake of your intercession, it will be light. Because it's not just about you, the prince, it's about the majesty of the court, the majesty of the law. If you let them go like this, what do you let other people think, they will think that they can be innocent of assassinating the prince, so can I be exempted from robbery and murder? Is it possible that I can be exempted from sin if I rebel? Looking at the childish Li Chengqian, Wu Yuanqing lightly expounded the facts.

It's not Wu Yuanqing who is cold-blooded, it's not that he doesn't understand sympathy. This is his hometown that haunts his dreams, these people are all from his hometown, and he also wants to help these people get rid of their crimes, but he knows that it is impossible.

Historically, Hou Junji's rebellion was also unsuccessful, and it didn't make too many waves. Hou Junji is still the founder of the country, and when the prince of the dynasty is Li Chengqian's father-in-law, he has the merit of splashing the sky when the Xuanwumen changes. Li Shimin felt that Hou Junji had made great contributions to stabilizing the country, and he did not want to cure Hou Junji's capital crime, but the ministers admonished Hou Junji that Hou Junji's crime was intolerable. No matter how sad and sad Li Shimin was, he still killed Hou Junji in the end, and his family was moved to Lingnan.

Hou Jun's rebellion will be killed, not to mention that ordinary people are complicit in the crime of assassinating the prince, how can they be exempted.

"Then let's not tell our father about it," Li Chengqian said very stupidly and naïvely.

Too young, too simple

Wu Yuanqing smiled bitterly, a child is a child, even if he grows up in the palace, the most intriguing place in the world, it is no exception, it is really simple to think.

"Do you think that if you don't tell Your Majesty, Your Majesty won't know, naïve. The entire Tang Dynasty belongs to His Majesty, and these guards are sent by His Majesty. Can you guarantee that these people won't say it. How can you guarantee that there are no horsemen here? What's more, there is also a state assassin history who has died here, how can it be concealed from so many people" Wu Yuanqing sneered at Li Chengqian's children's words.

"Then ,,, can only watch them being allocated" Li Chengqian was in a low mood, and his voice was inaudible.

Wu Yuanqing smiled: "Compared with the Zhujiu clan, the family is a little bitter in the frontier, and after all, there is still a glimmer of life." Of course, it would be best if you could convince Your Majesty to reduce your guilt more. ”

"Okay, that's the only way, I'll write a letter to my father," Li Chengqian cried with a sad face.

The little kid is still quite sympathetic, but how did it later develop to the point of making him rebel. He also said that if I am the emperor, I will wantonly my desires, and if there are ministers who admonish me, I will kill him, and kill five hundred, will not be such inhumane.

The difference is too big, they were all in their twenties at that time, could it be that the rebellious period came relatively late?

"Go, go, write, find someone with good water quality, let him swim across the other bank, remember to go to the city first and talk to those palace maids, they are worried, by the way, when crossing the river, you must tie a rope to him to prevent him from being too strong and wash him away" Wu Yuanqing waved his hand casually, and explained two more sentences.

"I know, I know, you're really verbose" Li Chengqian disliked.

Seeing Wu Yuanqing looking at the courtyard in a daze again, Li Chengqian's eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked with a smile: "Why did you enter Changle's room just now, I heard Changle say something outside about whether men and women are intimate or not, you won't be ...... Changle?" ”

Speaking of which, Li Chengqian didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious.

"Get out, little brat, a man who knows what a man and a woman don't kiss," Wu Yuanqing said with a dark face.

"Hahaha" Looking at Wu Yuanqing, who was thunderous, Li Chengqian ran back to the house with a smile.

When they came back just now, they were all tired to death, Changle, the eldest girl, and the second girl were all carried back by the guards.

Changle was in pain because of the thorns on his feet, and Wu Yuanqing saw that Xiangcheng and Wang Ziyu were too tired to speak, so he kindly went to help Changle pick up the thorns on his feet.

As a descendant, an eight- or nine-year-old girl is a little girl, and she has just graduated from kindergarten, as long as she is not a pervert, no one will have any thoughts about such a young child.

Wu Yuanqing didn't think it was a big deal, but as soon as he went in and said what he meant, Changle was so shy that he couldn't do it, and he said to him righteously and righteously, and men and women should not kiss.

Wu Yuanqing was ashamed and red-faced. However, in order to prevent suppuration and inflammation, in the end, he still dragged Changle to pick a thorn.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian heard it.
