Chapter 57: The Prince's Battle

Li Xiaojiu first asked:

"I wonder if General Wei Chi can tell you about the earthquake in Jinju and Yongseong County?"

When Wei Chi heard it, he knew that the emperor's purpose in summoning him was also about peace and harmony. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info very happy, which saved him the trouble of finding a reason to mention the matter of An He.

Since he asked so, it means that he must suspect that his son has informed him of this matter, and then he will explain it, except for making the suspicious Li Xiaojiu more disgusted, there is no benefit in the slightest.

So he straightened up, coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said:

"Baolin My son did inadvertently mention this matter during the meal, saying that a boy who is only fourteen or fifteen years old can predict earthquakes, and his martial arts are extremely high, far above him, Weichen also does not believe it, Li Chunfeng is known as the number one astrologer in the dynasty, and he did not predict the earthquake in Yongcheng County, how can he know at a young age? Chen Quan was talking after dinner, and he didn't care about it at the time.

Wei Chi Cannon seems to be speaking casually, but it is actually deliberate.

In his words, it was said that Wei Chi Baolin only unintentionally mentioned this matter during the meal, and did not deliberately spread the matter.

The second is that in addition to being able to predict earthquakes at a young age, An He's martial arts are more powerful than his son's, and now in the Tang Dynasty, some of the original veterans are dead, and there are few old people who can go to the battlefield.

This kid's martial arts are so high, if he uses it properly, he will be a good material to be a general in the future, don't you Li Xiaojiu have the heart to love talents?

The third is because he believes in Taoism, and has invited Taoist master Li Chunfeng to his mansion many times to ask for alchemy, but this Li Chunfeng thinks too highly of himself, and sees that Wei Chi's cannon has long been idle at home, and it is insignificant in the court, so he excused himself and has not been there once.

Wei Chi Cannon already had an opinion about him in his heart, so he took the opportunity of the emperor's questioning to quietly give him a dose of eye medicine, and let Li Xiaojiu sound that he didn't deliberately participate in Li Chunfeng.

Who would have thought that Wei Chi Jingde, who was ridiculed by the entire ministers of the DPRK and China as Wei Chi Dasha and Wei Chi Cannon, would cultivate to such an extent?

There is so much information in a few sentences.

Although Li Xiaojiu is shrewd, after all, he is new to the throne and he is young, compared with Taizong Li Shimin, there is still a long way to go.

Thinking that Li Chunfeng not only made a mistake in his prediction, but also believed in him too much, he obviously received Liu Wenzhi's report, but he did not take any action, so that more than 5,000 people died in Jinzhou, the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty, and these days, for some reason, Li Chunfeng has not even seen a personal figure.

I was annoyed in my heart, and a layer of frost suddenly formed on my jade face.

Wei Chi Cannon peeked at it, saw that Li Xiaojiu's face changed slightly, and he didn't know which of his words had a role, so he continued:

"The earthquake in Jinju and Yongcheng County has now spread all over Chang'an, and the people are praising Your Majesty for governing the country with benevolence and loving the people like a son, not only exempting the two places from paying taxes for three years, but also sending special people to the two places to condole, and each affected family will give money and silk.

A merchant in Chang'an City who is doing business in Yongcheng said: The people of Yongcheng County have not been injured or injured in this earthquake, which can be said to be an unprecedented miracle! The people are saying that it was His Majesty's benevolence and filial piety that moved the heavens, and the heavens would send a young man named An He to tell the people of Yongcheng County in advance, so that they could be saved from the earthquake. ”

Speaking of this, he stopped and took a sip of the soup tea sent by Wei Shun'an.

What Wei Chi Cannon meant when he said this: Don't think that you killed An He, everything will be fine if you shut the mouths of a few ministers who know about it, and there are tens of thousands of people in Yongcheng County.

Which of the people of Yongcheng County did not survive by moving outside before the earthquake!

Who doesn't know that it was a man named An He who saved their lives!

Not only the people of Yongcheng County know, but now the people of Chang'an also know through the mouth of the merchants, can you kill all these people?

And he attributed the people of Yongcheng County to escaping the earthquake not to An He, but to Li Xiaojiu's benevolence, which moved the heavens, and God sent An He to inform the people of Yongcheng County, which made Li Xiaojiu sound much more acceptable.

When Li Xiaojiu heard this, he was shocked, this guy was indeed reasonable, this Anhe can predict the earthquake is too magical, and it is impossible for the people of Yongcheng County not to spread the matter.

He is still too young, and he doesn't think about the problem very well, it seems that this old guy has become a master of cultivation at home, and he came to him with the idea of asking him to go back and ask Yu Chi Baolin not to spread this matter again, it seems that he is going to change his strategy.

Li Xiaojiu didn't speak, took a sip of tea, and continued to listen to what Wei Chi Cannon said.

"The people in the market want to meet this magical young man, they all say that today's saint is wise and decisive, and the rewards and punishments are clear, and now this kid's ancestral grave is not just a matter of green smoke, which is simply about to ignite a raging fire, saving the lives of thousands of people in Yongcheng County at once, what a great merit, it is not too much to give a marquis.

Wei Chi Cannon deliberately stopped and didn't say anything, peeking at Li Xiaojiu's reflection, Li Xiaojiu was very embarrassed, picked up the rhino horn cup on the dragon case and drank tea, because he drank too hard, he almost choked.

Wei Chi Cannon wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help but continue:

"These are all the words of the people, Your Majesty doesn't have to take it seriously, but since Anhe, this kid, can predict the earthquake in Yongcheng County, why can't he predict the Jinju earthquake? Maybe this kid is not good enough, he can only predict the earthquake in his location, and it won't work if it's far away. ”

In fact, Wei Chi Baolin had already told him that Anhe had predicted the earthquake in the two places, because he speculated that Li Xiaojiu wanted to kill Anhe because he was afraid that the news of the Jinzhou earthquake would be revealed, so he pretended to be confused and deliberately did not say that Anhe had predicted the Jinzhou earthquake.

"I don't know what Your Majesty will do to An and this person?"

Wei Chi Cannon didn't say it himself, but asked Li Xiaojiu.

Li Xiaojiu thought to himself:

The old guy is right, if he really kills An He, this person will be killed for meritorious service, I am afraid that it will soon spread outside, and in the eyes of the people, won't he become a faint king who does not distinguish between right and wrong and kills meritorious people in vain?

I have the intention not to kill him, but what if this kid says outside that he has told me that there will be an earthquake in Jinju too?

Li Xiaojiu made it difficult, laughed dryly twice and said:

Since there has been an earthquake in Yongcheng County, I am thinking about rewarding An He, but .....I am just busy arranging the aftermath of the earthquake in the two places in the past two days, and I have no skills, so I will ...... In some time, I will reward him. ”

Yu Chi Cannon thought to himself:

There are officials from the two places after the earthquake, and there are household officials in Chang'an City, can you be busy no matter how busy you are? Isn't this an obvious excuse to shirk?

Although he didn't order An He to be killed, he would have to lose a layer of skin if he stayed in the prison of the Criminal Department for a few months without dying, and besides, by then, maybe my family would have suffered a bloody disaster.

At this time, the emperor was still hesitating, and nine times out of ten he was afraid that An He would leak the matter of Jinju.

So he hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, not only do you know that An He's words are true, but you will also talk about him about the prison of the Criminal Department, and I am afraid that the people and ministers will criticize this matter!"

Li Xiaojiu was speechless for a while, and it was not to put it, and it was not to be ......

Wei Chi Cannon hurriedly added fire and said:

"As long as Your Majesty gives an order, Weichen is willing to go to the Criminal Department to bring Anhe, and ask Your Majesty in detail how to measure the earthquake in Yongcheng County!"

Li Xiaojiu thought to himself:

Since Yu Chi Baolin had informed him of the earthquake in the two places, he said that Anhe's failure to predict the Jinju earthquake must have been the real reason why I didn't let Anhe go.

At this time, he proposed to go to Ti'an and He in person, and he must have secretly mentioned that he would never mention Jinju in the future, which is exactly what I want!

It seems that this old guy is really alive and well.

An edict was immediately issued, and Wei Chi Cannon personally went to the prison of the Criminal Department to see him in the palace.

The code word is so gray that your hair is gray, everyone, please collect it and vote for it!
