One morning, Princess Pingyang broke through the mansions of thirteen officials one after another, these officials were all from the five surnames and seven wangs, and each of them was above the fourth grade, it can be said that the representatives of the five surnames and seven wangs in the court, almost all of them were warned by the princess of Pingyang, and the government and the opposition were shocked for a while.

However, although Princess Pingyang's approach was relieved, it also caused a serious consequence, that is, these thirteen officials jointly entered the palace to complain, and they had to ask for an explanation no matter what.

It is worth mentioning that among these thirteen officials, Cui Gan is also included, although he did not participate in the assassination of Li Xiu, and even did not care about Princess Pingyang ruining his family affairs, but as a member of the family, he must also advance and retreat with the family at this time.

"Your Majesty, the Yellow Gate Squire Cui Gan and other thirteen people jointly requested to enter the palace to face the saint!" A chamberlain rushed to report.

"Nope!" Li Shimin waved his hand and refused very simply, this is not the first time Cui Gan and they have asked to enter the palace, but they were all rejected by Li Shimin, it seems that he also wants to dry these people well.

"Your Majesty, Cui Gan and these people are determined to see Your Majesty, and if you refuse again and again, I'm afraid they won't be willing to leave!" At this moment, I saw the eldest grandson Wuji come forward and suggest that Li Shimin have no opinion on Cui Gan these people, but he can't really see it, after all, this matter is too big, I'm afraid that the entire Chang'an City has been rumored to be full of wind and rain now.

"Hmph, they just smashed their home, and the people are okay at all, but Li Xiu almost died in their hands, let them wait outside, just say that I am investigating the assassination of Yan Guogong!" Li Shimin snorted coldly at this time, as soon as he thought of Li Xiu's assassination, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and he was even more resentful of the family.

Seeing that Li Shimin's anger was so big, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't dare to persuade him anymore, while Li Xiu next to him was sitting there with the old god. After he reported the assassination to Li Shimin before, Li Shimin quickly ordered the whole city to search, although he knew that it was very likely that he could not find any trace of those people in black, and even the clues were wiped clean by the family, but he couldn't give up like this, even if it created a tense atmosphere, it couldn't make those people in the family feel better.

"Li Xiu, how is your wound, do you want to go back and rest first?" After sending away the inner servant, Li Shimin turned to Li Xiu again and asked, although the imperial doctor had carefully examined Li Xiu just now and re-bandaged the wound, he was still a little uneasy, after all, this attack on Li Xiu was also related to him, if he hadn't fallen into the family's calculations, and summoned Li Xiu into the palace after the fire in the printing office, he would not have found a chance to assassinate him.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister's health is very good, and so many things have happened, I can't sleep when I go back." Li Xiu bowed slightly at this time, and when he said this, he suddenly thought of one more thing, so he spoke again, "By the way, I don't know what happened to the printing office, is the damage caused by the fire big?" ”

Because of Li Xiu's assassination, coupled with the fact that Princess Pingyang led troops into the city, Li Xiu almost forgot about the printing office, and then suddenly remembered that although compared to his own assassination, the fire in the printing office was only a trivial matter, but it could not be ignored because of this.

Hearing Li Xiu ask about the printing office, Li Shimin's brows also wrinkled again, and a little annoyance flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he spoke: "Last night, on the second watch, the printing office suddenly caught fire, and the fire was so great that it couldn't be saved if you wanted to, and finally it was extinguished after the fire weakened, but the entire printing office was destroyed, and even those copper movable types were burned. ”

Although copper is a metal, it melts and changes after a long period of burning in the fire, which proves the magnitude of the fire at that time. And although Li Xiu had been mentally prepared, but when he heard that the copper movable type was also destroyed in the fire, his face couldn't help but show a sad look, although the copper movable type can be remade, and the printing office can also be rebuilt, but seeing his previous hard work ruined, it still makes him feel extremely sad.

"But fortunately, the printing office did not print any new books during this time, and there were no craftsmen at night, but when a fire broke out later, some craftsmen rushed to extinguish the fire, and two people were injured a little." Eldest Sun Wuji opened his mouth and added at this time.

Hearing that there were not too many casualties, Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, things are dead, and they can be recreated in a short time without them, but the craftsmen in the printing office are cultivated by themselves, as long as they are still there, he is confident that he will build the printing office again in a short time.

"Your Majesty, the minister requests that the printing office be rebuilt!" Li Xiu quickly said to Li Shimin very solemnly that the printing office was the main reason for the family's panic, so he couldn't give up no matter what.

"I have already ordered someone to find another place in the imperial city as the residence of the printing office, and the coinage bureau will also cast the copper movable type as soon as possible, as for the queen's funeral, Wuji, you will work harder, Li Xiu, you will put all your energy on rebuilding the printing office during this time!" Li Shimin naturally knew the importance of the printing office, so he nodded without hesitation, in fact, before Li Xiu came, he had already instructed the rebuilding of the printing office.

At this moment, he suddenly saw another chamberlain trotting forward, which made Li Shimin also frown, and immediately reprimanded with an ugly face: "Didn't I say that I would let those people wait, and what are you doing here?" ”

Li Shimin thought that this chamberlain was still delivering the message for Cui Gan and others, but he didn't expect this chamberlain to secretly glance at Li Xiu, and then he said in a slurred voice: "Enlightenment...... Your Majesty, General Cheng is here, and now he is asking to see him outside the palace! ”

Hearing that it was Cheng Biting Jin who came, Li Shimin suppressed his anger and immediately ordered: "Please Cheng Aiqing come in!" ”

The chamberlain agreed and retreated, but Li Xiu stepped forward with some surprise and asked, "Why did General Cheng enter the palace at this time?" ”

"Hehe, I just sent someone to summon him into the palace, as for what he is doing? You'll find out soon! When Li Shimin said the end, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, which made Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji look at each other puzzled, and couldn't understand Li Shimin's intention of calling Cheng to bite the gold?

After a while, he saw Cheng Yanjin, who was burly and a little gray, strode into the hall, first saluted Li Shimin, and then stood aside, but he also noticed Li Xiu's injured arm, which made him also surprised, but now was not the time to speak, so he didn't ask much.

"Come on, let Cui Gan and those people come in!" Li Shimin suddenly commanded at this time, and the smile on his face was even more intriguing.
