Su Wuming, Cheshire, and Pei Xiu got drunk in the inn.

Originally, they just wanted to have a few drinks, and then everyone sat down to talk, but for some reason, when they sat down, they couldn't help but want to drink, Su Wuming even drank heavily, and finally didn't even know how to get home.

When he woke up, it was already the middle of the night, and Su Wuming was awakened by thirst at that time, but he shouted several times, but no one answered him, he opened his eyes and found that he was sleeping in the study, and the moonlight outside shone through the window lattice, which was very beautiful and lonely.

Su Wuming got up from the bed, there was no tea in the study, so he walked out of the study, came to a well in the courtyard, fished out a bucket of water and drank it.

After drinking, the drunkenness disappeared, and a warmth drifted in with the wind in the night from time to time, Su Wuming stretched his waist, and then thought about which lady to talk to, after all, at this time, he couldn't sleep anymore.

But when he looked up, he saw that all the rooms were dark, and he thought that they had just fallen asleep.

Su Wuming couldn't help but sigh a few times, and then returned to the study.

The next day, Su Wuming got up early, and when he went to the morning court, he was more energetic than ever, greeting several colleagues along the way, although they didn't like Su Wuming, but they all responded.

After the last dynasty, the old tune was repeated, and those who had problems said that they had problems, and those who did not shut up, and after about half an hour, the official department Shangshu suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, Sichuan and other places have been quite restless recently, and thieves have occurred from time to time, and ...... And soon after the Sichuan Jiedu envoy Du Ru took office, he disappeared mysteriously, and the Chengdu government investigated several times, but found nothing, and after receiving the news, my officials were anxious, and asked the emperor to decide. ”

After Li Yan listened to the words of the Ministry of Officials, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "How could the Jiedu envoy I sent to Sichuan suddenly disappear?" ”

"This ...... This minister doesn't know! ”

Li Yan frowned slightly, and was immediately furious, how smart Li Yan is, although he has just become the emperor for a long time, he already has a very clear understanding of the situation in the Tang Dynasty, Sichuan has a vast territory, complex terrain, and there are many people of all kinds, if anyone wants to accumulate strength in Sichuan to oppose the Tang Dynasty, it is a very easy thing, didn't Liu Bang do this in order to avoid Xiang Yu back then?

After Li Yan pondered deeply, he looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and said: "My envoy of the Tang Dynasty disappeared for no reason, this matter is very involved, among all the Aiqing, can anyone be willing to take on the important task of patrolling and going to Sichuan to investigate?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but bow their heads and remain silent, although Sichuan at this time had undergone some development in the Han and Tang dynasties, but in the end it still belonged to the wild area, the people's wisdom was not very civilized, and the place was humid, if it could not adapt to the weather there, it would have to suffer more.

These ministers are all used to enjoying happiness in Chang'an, and there may be danger if they are willing to go to that kind of place to investigate the disappearance of the Jiedu Envoy.

All the ministers were silent, Li Yan's brows were slightly condensed, and he was about to get angry, but at this time, Su Wuming suddenly stepped forward and said, "Back to the saint, Weichen is willing to go." ”

Su Wuming was thinking of finding an excuse to leave the capital, and now the emperor wants to find someone to patrol Sichuan, which is very suitable for him, the so-called patrol press is to inspect the place on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the patrol press is like the emperor coming in person, the power is very great, and he can keep the position of Dali Siqing in the capital, such an opportunity, if he gives up, it is too much to say.

And just when Su Wuming stood up and expressed his willingness to go, a few more people suddenly stood up above the court, expressing their willingness to take on the position of patrol.

As soon as these people stood up, Su Wuming suddenly understood, the patrol has a lot of power, if they can entrap local forces along the way, it can be said that it will be beneficial to all parties in the court, as for the disappearance of Du Ru in Sichuan Jiedu, they can investigate it clearly after they arrive, and if the investigation is not clear, they will find an excuse to fool the past, these people are all old fritters in the officialdom, and many things can still be handled.

And after these people stood up, they immediately said their reasons, of course, their reasons are more precise, pointing out the unreasonableness of Su Wuming, for example, Su Wuming is just the secretary of Dali Temple, Dali Temple is busy with official business, how can he leave Dali Temple and go to Sichuan to investigate the disappearance of Du Ru?

For reasons like this, the officials who came forward said it thoroughly.

And just when these officials were muttering like this, an official next to him suddenly stood up and said: "Weichen very much agrees with Lord Su as the patrol, Lord Su is very young, and he has just entered the court as an official, and he is not rich in experience, if he can let him go outside to experience it, he will definitely be the pillar of my Tang Kingdom." ”

When this official stood up to speak for Su Wuming, everyone turned their eyes to it, and saw that the ** was about forty years old, standing on top of the main hall, with his eyes looking straight ahead, giving people a sense of justice and awe-inspiring.

Su Wuming didn't have any impression of this person, but he had heard of who this person was, he was an official of the Ministry of Officials, who seemed to be called Qin Shu, who had been in the officialdom for more than ten years and became the second-in-command of the Ministry of Officials.

Originally, when the emperor revoked the original official book, he was ready to let Qin Shu be the official secretary, after all, according to his qualifications, he had this condition, but at that time, it seemed that Li Deyu wanted to meddle in the ministry, so he recommended a person to the emperor, Li Yan and Li Deyu's relationship was extraordinary, and finally because of this, Qin Shu still worked as a waiter in the ministry.

When Qin Shu stood up and spoke like this, everyone was shocked.

For many people in the court, this person is non-partisan, but after listening to Qin Shu's words, Su Wuming can already be sure that he can be the person of Li Chen, the king of light.

After Qin Shu finished speaking, the others hurriedly raised objections, and even Li Deyu felt that this opportunity was rare, and the people who supported his own party were a little troublesome for a while.

Su Wuming frowned slightly, but at this time he still remained calm, these ministers were shouting and shouting like this, and who would go to Sichuan in the end still depended on the emperor's intentions.

The controversy in the court made the originally troubled ministers suddenly come to their senses, and after listening to the opinions of these ministers, Li Yan suddenly looked at Su Wuming and said, "Su Aiqing, there are those who support you as a patrol and those who don't, can you give a reason?" ”

Su Wuming bowed slightly, and said: "The minister doesn't have so many high-sounding reasons, the minister only knows that he is worried about the king, and the minister has this self-confidence, and he can help the Holy Admiral Sichuan Jiedu to investigate the disappearance of Du Ru clearly, and help the Holy Lord patrol Sichuan." ”

After Su Wuming's words came out, the other ministers immediately stood up and questioned, saying Why are you boasting about Haikou here, saying that you can find out the situation of Du Ru's disappearance, so the court is in chaos, and Su Wuming is still very calm.

Li Yan looked at His Royal Highness's situation, and finally couldn't help but snort coldly, and said: "Su Aiqing's words are reasonable, if you can share your worries like Su Aiqing, you might as well be like Su Aiqing, in front of the ministers in this court, and say that you will definitely be able to investigate the affairs of Sichuan clearly!" ”

Li Yan shouted loudly, the entire court suddenly quieted down, and the other ministers looked at each other, and none of them dared to stand up and say the big words first, Li Yan saw this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then said: "In this case, this matter of patrolling Sichuan will be handed over to Su Aiqing." ”

After retiring from the court, other ministers left one after another, and at this time, Li Deyu said that he had something to do and was led into the imperial study by the eunuch.

Originally, at this time, Li Yan was going to the harem to make up for his sleep after going to the early dynasty, but Li Deyu had something to talk about, so he had to endure it.

After the two met in the imperial study, Li Yan immediately asked, "What does Aiqing have to tell me?" ”

Li Deyu looked at the head and said: "Shengshang, it is okay for you to send Su Wuming to Sichuan to patrol the press, but the form of Sichuan is complicated, so it is better to send a deputy general just in case." ”

As an emperor, Li Yan's suspicion is only stronger than many people in the world, and when he heard Su Wuming's words, he nodded in agreement: "Li Aiqing is reasonable, but I don't know who Li Aiqing thinks is more appropriate to send?" ”

Li Deyu thought for a moment and said: "Nangong Yin of the Ministry of War is the most suitable, although he is Su Wuming's brother-in-law, but he has always been not very satisfied with Su Wuming, and he is loyal to the emperor, it is most suitable to send him." ”

Li Yan didn't know much about Nangong Yin, but after listening to Li Deyu's introduction, he knew that this Nangong Yin was not loyal to himself, but to Li Deyu, but it was not bad to send someone to spy on Su Wuming and let Su Wuming know the proportions, so although he was not very satisfied with the person introduced by Li Deyu, Li Yan still nodded and agreed.

When Li Deyu left the palace, the sun had risen very high, and the entire Chang'an City was also in a hurry, Li Deyu returned to the house, and then called Nangong Yin, gave him some orders, and said that if he could, he could find a way to abolish Su Wuming along the way, so that he would never return to the capital.

Li Deyu is still very clear about the relationship between Nangong Yin and Nangong Yan, and it may not be possible for Nangong Yin to kill Su Wuming, but it is still an easy thing to ask Su Wuming to return to Beijing.

After Nangong Yin listened to Li Deyu's words, he happily agreed, but after he left the Li Mansion, his heart couldn't help but sink, he hated Su Wuming in his heart, after all, Su Wuming robbed his beloved woman, but now this Su Wuming is also his sister's husband, which makes it really difficult for him to do.

Judging from the current situation, he feels that his sister has chosen the right person, for the sake of his sister's happiness, does he really want to frame Su Wuming as Li Deyu said?
