Three days later, early in the morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Shen sat cross-legged on his bed, silently running the "Heavenly Evil Sutra" mental method, while Ye Lingbo was on the side to protect the Dharma for him.
The "Heavenly Demon Sutra" is broad and profound, even though he has been able to run this skill independently with the help of the Great Elder, but this process is not easy every time, and in the past three days, Yang Shen can be described as extremely hard.
"Shhhh ”
When Ye Lingbo heard this, a smile bloomed on his face, he gently held Yang Shen's big hand with his slender hand, and said slowly: "Xianggong's hard work in the past few days, Ling Bo has seen it in his eyes, if it weren't for this kind of thing, others can't do it for him, Ling Bo is very willing to practice for his husband." ”
Although Yang Shen was quite moved in his heart, his face was not half a point, and he asked with a smile: "Does Ling Bo need to practice the 'Heavenly Demon Sutra'?" You and I are husband and wife, and you must not be polite to me. ”
Ye Lingbo shook her head slightly, she gently snuggled her body into Yang Shen's arms, and said softly: "Thank you husband for your kindness, it's just that your husband underestimated Ling Boli!" Without the need for such a divine masterpiece, Ling Bo would definitely be able to climb to the realm of martial arts! ”
Yang Shen nodded slightly, he had forgotten that his wife had a martial arts talent that shook the past and the present, and her martial arts practice, where did he need to worry about it?
It's just that Yang Shen also guessed in his heart that the reason why Ling Bo was reluctant to practice this set of exercises might also be related to its vicious attribute of absorbing people's internal power. But whether this is the case or not is unknown.
Seeing that it was already dark outside, he beckoned Ye Lingbo and said, "Lingbo, let's go have breakfast." ”
Ye Lingbo readily agreed.
The Royal Palace, in the Imperial Study.
Great Chu Emperor Li Shimin was pinching a secret piece and frowned.
Some time ago, he received a secret report, saying that Xue Huaiyi, the left attendant of the military department, was greedy and desecrated, and even embezzled a full 20% of the military salary more than in the past, he was furious, and immediately ordered his subordinates to pay a secret visit to the Ming Dynasty, and finally found out the matter clearly, knowing that the officials involved in this case, from the prime minister of the cabinet, down to the generals of the border army and the government army, as many as hundreds, the fact made him cold and hateful.
Although Li Shimin is very happy and his temper is quite irritable, he is quite aware of the people's sufferings, and he also has a clear understanding of today's world, knowing that the Li dynasty has actually come to an end, but he is unwilling and wants to work hard to save the fate of the dynasty and be the master of the Li family.
Therefore, since he ascended the throne, he has been sleeping all night, and he has been working hard to maneuver between the gate valve families, and he has done everything he can to win over and suppress, sow discord and other means, and at the same time vigorously promote the son of the poor family, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, although Li Shimin's means can be called extraordinary among the emperors of the past dynasties, and he is famous for being diligent in government affairs, but he can only continue some more qi for the Chu State.
Now some of Xue Huaiyi's behaviors, in Li Shimin's view, are completely digging the foundation of his Li family's dynasty.
The emperors of all dynasties took military power very seriously, and the truth of power coming out of the barrel of a gun was not only understood by those leaders in Yang Shen's previous life, but also by the emperors in this life. Therefore, no matter how difficult the dynasty's finances were, Li Shimin refused to deduct military expenses when he returned. If the army deviates from his Li family, then the Li family dynasty will really be over.
It's just that his ideas are good, but the reality is difficult to achieve.
As soon as the prime minister, the minister of war, and the generals of the prefectures and counties passed through the hands of the prime ministers, ministers of war, and prefectures and counties, the amount that was actually distributed to the officers and soldiers of the counties below was really limited, far lower than its psychological expectations.
Although he knew about the situation, there was nothing he could do.
It was the combined power of dozens of family lords, and even if he hated them in his heart, it was impossible to kill them all.
He did not have the prestige and strength of the founding ancestor to suppress the prestige and strength of the family gatekeeper. If you really want to kill these people, maybe the world will be in chaos in a few days.
It's just that this time Xue Huaiyi has gone too far, this is forcing those soldiers to death!
Those soldiers did not have much vision and insight to understand the emperor's difficulties and know how greedy and filthy the ministers and generals were. In their opinion, the whole world belongs to the emperor, and they themselves are also the emperor's soldiers, and if they can't eat enough for others, it must be that the emperor is reluctant to pay to support them. Since this is the case, they naturally will not have much loyalty to the emperor anymore.
This time Li Shimin made up his mind, even if Xue Huaiyi was born in the Xue family in Dengzhou and backed by one of the six great families, he must kill him to set an example, and at the same time to warn these families that they dare not go too far.
It's just that it's impossible to kill him on the charge of greed, this lid can't be lifted, and he has to be replaced.
Thinking of the deep calamity of these families, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh heavily.
How can we stop these family lords from endlessly encroaching on the foundation of the dynasty? Over the years, he has worked hard to find a real workable measure. And today is already full of holes, Taizu Taizong is above, maybe when he or her son will become the king of the dead country, under Jiuquan, he is ashamed of the emperors of the past dynasties.
Thinking of this, his chest couldn't help but feel stuffy, "wow", his throat rolled a few times, he endured the discomfort, took out a tissue from his waist, covered his mouth, and couldn't bear to spit it out anymore.
After spitting up, he closed the tissue, not wanting to look at the bright red color on the tissue.
Li Shimin's eyes looked coldly at Liu Jin, the eunuch who was standing aside, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Liu Jin was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty spares your life, the slave is not a person with many mouths, and he will never publicize this kind of thing." ”
God is pitiful, he has no idea that the emperor will suddenly vomit blood, and he has been kept in the dark by the emperor.
Looking at the emperor's appearance, it was obvious that there was something wrong with his body, and as the emperor's cronies often accompanied him, he couldn't help but be shocked by the emperor's scheming, and he didn't know how patient and careful he could hide himself.
It's just that after all, he was seen by himself, he thought silently in his heart.
Although Li Shimin really wanted to kill this eunuch who knew his secret, but he couldn't do it immediately, although this guy was his own house slave, he could indeed determine his life and death with a word, but at the same time, the other party was the eunuch who was in charge of the seal of the celebrant and the minister of the court, if he really wanted to find an excuse to kill him, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of others, there is no impermeable wall in the world, although he has been hiding it very well, but that is when no one doubts it. If you really want to track it down, I'm afraid I can't hide my physical condition anymore.
