"Sandao, it looks like you really didn't lie!"

Li Yuanba sat on the high chair, knocked on the table lightly, and said, "But this king is very curious, you just said that your imperial uncle still has treasures, what is going on?" ”

A look of memory appeared on Yang Jinghua's face, and he said, "I am a ...... of the former Sui royal family."

"What?"

Li Yuanba didn't react yet, but Li Chengqian and his little brother all showed shocked and inexplicable looks.

However, it is normal for them to have such an appearance, after all, after Li Yuan entered Chang'an, he secretly ordered the guards to launch a protracted pursuit of the Yang royal family.

Except for a few royal families who really couldn't be killed, the other former Sui royal families all died completely.

Therefore, Yang Jinghua's words caused a great shock to Li Chengqian and them.

"But is that true?" Li Yuanba twisted his eyebrows and asked.

"Naturally, there is no fake!" Yang Jinghua endured the pain in his body, and cried and laughed: "Lord Wang, it's time to come, who will pretend to be a royal family of the former Sui, isn't this looking for death by himself?" ”

"You go on!" Li Yuanba bowed slightly, thinking about it, who would pretend to be this kind of thing, is it a long life?

"Former Sui ...... Yang Guang, the former emperor of the Sui Dynasty, is my uncle. If it's about relationships, the kinship between us...... Already, there have been three generations of five blessings! No, but luckily, Uncle Huang is only ten years older than me, and I grew up with Uncle Huang! ”

Yang Jinghua spoke a little intermittently at first, but when he talked about the back, it seemed to become smoother:

"Uncle Huang treats me like a parent, although there is a certain utilitarianism, but I am very grateful to Uncle Huang. Originally, Uncle Huang didn't have to die, but Li Yuan ...... The Emperor Taishang ...... Alas, Uncle Huang left me hundreds of millions of gold and silver from the Great Sui Dynasty, and asked me to be the future of the Great Sui. Rise like the phoenix! ”

"Oh, he Yang Guang trusts you so much?"

Li Yuanba didn't believe Yang Jinghua's words, with Yang Guang's suspicious and tyrannical character, would he look at you differently and entrust you with a heavy responsibility?

Are you kidding!

Yang Jinghua did not explain Li Yuanba's questioning, but continued: "I could have escaped from Chang'an City back then, but the killer of the Shenhuang Wei Yellow Character didn't know where to know about my storage, and launched all his forces to hunt me down!" ”

"Then why aren't you dead yet?" Li Su asked.

Yang Jinghua glanced at Yan Jing, who had just spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted. "I was seriously injured by the killer of the Divine Phoenix Guard and collapsed outside a pawnshop. When I woke up, I was in a secret room, and the wounds on my body had been treated...... And the person who saved me was Yan Jingyi! ”

"Sure enough, it's day and night defense, and it's hard to prevent house thieves! Li Yuanba glanced at Yan Jingyi meaningfully, and continued: "Then in order to repay Yan Jingyi, did you give Yan Jingyi all the real money and silver that Yang Guang left for you?" ”

This is too, according to the way of thinking of the ancients. The grace of saving lives is much lighter than that of the family and the country, and it stands to reason that such a thing should not happen.

"I'm not that stupid yet!" Yang Jinghua said lightly. It's just that there was some coldness in that voice:

"But I have to say that this Yan Jingyi knows how to win people's hearts, after all, I was young and easy to be fooled! In just one year. Yan Jingyi got everything he wanted from me...... Now that I think about it, it was a trap for him to save me back then! ”

Li Yuanba shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, you're not stupid at all. At least you understand that Yang Guang's task of making a comeback for you cannot be completed at all, and you will have to live in dire straits for the rest of your life. Back then, you were much smarter than you are now! ”

"Do I have a choice?" Yang Jinghua said: "Over the years, Yan Jingyi has tied several of us together in various ways and done a lot of things for him, which is enough for us to die a hundred times, a thousand times." Even if we don't rebel, you, as the new Lord of the Divine Phoenix Guard, will reorganize the Divine Phoenix Guard...... Hehe, are we still alive? ”

"Not necessarily!" Li Yuanba blinked and said, "Zhang Hao, escort him back!" Remember, keep an eye on his injuries, but don't let him die, and have more flavor in the future, even if it's a reward for cooperating with our interrogation! ”

"No!"

Black Impermanence Zhang Hao responded, and walked over to bring up Yang Jinghua.

"You...... You don't kill me? ”

Yang Jinghua's voice was full of surprise, he had already said these words with the heart of death, and now Li Yuanba did not kill him, and ordered the jailer to eat and drink to him in the future, which made him feel so strange, of course, it was more of a blessing for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

"Kill you?" Li Yuan said domineeringly: "What, do you really want to die?" ”

“……”

Yang Jinghua was silent, if he could live, who the hell would want to die!

"You're still useful to this king, and this king won't let you die!"

Li Yuanba waved his hand and said, "Zhang Hao, clean up his wound and send him back!" ”

"Let's go!"

Zhang Hao asked his two subordinates to help Yang Jinghua up and walked in the direction of the cell.

In the interrogation room, only Li Yuanba, several princes, and Yan Jingyi, who turned pale because of the blood spraying.

"Yan Jingyi, how is it, do you want to explain something?" Li Yuanba looked at him with a smile and said.

Yan Jingyi's face was miserable, he didn't know if he could stand the torture methods that Fang Cai Hei used on Zhang Hao, but one thing is certain, this time, he was afraid that he really wanted to live, and he couldn't die!

……

In the afternoon, Chang'an City, bathed in the scorching sun, is extraordinarily quiet.

This time of day is the time for dinner, this palace has its own rules, the food bureau has already been busy, Li Shimin and Li Yuan, although they are more diligent, but the work and rest time are very different.

Li Yuan has some pursuit of enjoyment, so whenever he eats, there will be no deviation, and sometimes even for a dish, he will let the Shangshi Bureau start preparing when he is a child.

However, Li Shimin's work and rest are a little disordered, if it weren't for Li Yuanba's awakening, Li Shimin's work and rest would have returned to punctuality a little, I'm afraid it would be as before, a few pastries, and a bowl of ginseng soup would have been hastily done.

Recently, because of the matter of reorganizing the Shenhuangwei, Li Yuanba became the shopkeeper, but Li Shimin was very busy.

In addition, Li Ji and Li Jing are about to return to Chang'an City, and Li Shimin still has a lot of things to prepare, so there is no time for this meal.

At this moment, in the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin was gnawing on the braised iron lion's head, and on the other hand, he was eating black-bone chicken soup, looking down at the topographic map of Chang'an.

At this time, Liu Sanshui, who had just gone to Zhongshu Province to get the chapter, walked back in a hurry, still holding a yellow fold tightly in his hand, and said loudly as soon as he entered the apse of the Liangyi Palace:

"Your Majesty, the excerpt of the Ministry of Rites!"

Li Shimin chewed two mouthfuls of the iron lion's head, and said without raising his head: "Hmm, read!" ”

Liu Sanshui opened the fold and read:

"Hu Weiyong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: Although the country of Tianzhu is far away from the Central Plains, it has long admired the king of the Tang Dynasty, and there are special envoys of the Tianzhu Kingdom, such as Tashi, who claims to be the nobles of the Tianzhu Kingdom, and this time is on the order of the king Bourbon, and I beg to pay tribute to the great Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven, the Khan of the ............"

"When the ......"

Listening to Liu Sanshui's excerpts, Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and the big spoon used to hold the red iron lion's head in his hand also fell to the imperial case all of a sudden.

Why was he stunned, it was really a little strange to play this piece.

This Tianzhu State is not a small country like Tubo and Xue Yantuo, on the contrary, their territory is still vast, and the population is also large, so there is no need to pay tribute at all.

You must know that paying tribute every year and being a minister every year is a sign that it has become a subordinate country of the Tang Dynasty, which is the rhythm of wanting to find a mother-in-law to manage yourself!

But then again, no matter what kind of purpose Tianzhu Guo has, since they have come up by themselves, there is no need to refuse, anyway, this matter seems to be more beneficial than disadvantageous to Datang at present.

Furthermore, although Tianzhu and Datang have not formally established deep diplomatic relations, Tianzhu merchants often come to Datang to trade, and some Tianzhu specialties and rare gems have also flowed into Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eagle eyebrows rose slightly, swallowed the lion's head chewed in his mouth, and said, "When did you receive the fold?" ”

Liu Sanshui said: "Yesterday, the six ministries of the three provinces have already discussed it!" ”

Li Shimin took a sip of chicken soup and said, "Oh, what do they mean?" ”

Liu Sanshui said: "Fang Xiang and the eldest grandson mean that since Tianzhu admires me so much, the court should naturally treat him with courtesy!" Moreover, the previous time my Tang Dynasty defeated the barbarian country of Fanbang and raised the prestige of the country, and all the vassal states rushed to come to the court first, bathing in the king! Although this Tianzhu country is far away from my Datang, it can also be regarded as a neighbor, if my Datang does not allow it to pay tribute, it will inevitably make Fanbang think that my Datang is cold and difficult to treat, and if you want to accept the country of all the states in the future, it will be even more difficult! ”

In the end, it is a neighbor who follows Li Shimin, and this wording is exquisite.

As far as Liu Sanshui said, what he said directly went to Li Shimin's heart, this Li Lao Er has always cared about his face, Liu Sanshui repeatedly emphasized that Tianzhu Guo admires the light of the Tang Dynasty, isn't it just emphasizing that this is his Li Lao Er's personal merits?

Furthermore, these few sentences do express the construction of Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji and others, which is nothing more than collecting tribute, and not taking advantage of it is the king. Eight. Eggs!

Yes, Li Shimin naturally laughed heartily and said:

"Since this is the opinion of Xuan Ling and Wuji, then I will allow it! In this way, you arrange for someone to contact the envoys of the Tianzhu Kingdom, and treat them with the courtesy of the subordinate state, as for the treasures and tributes received, and the safety of the envoys......"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin paused, then said with a smile: "It's all up to King Wu!" (To be continued......)
