Chapter 220: The Man Who Sells Smuggled Salt
Sun Simiao said goodbye, turned around and went back to the library of the medical school to check the materials.
Empress Eldest Sun frowned when she saw Li Su and said: "Su'er, don't worry, your father and I both know in our hearts, and if you can be cured, it will be God's favor, and if you can't be cured, you won't be blamed." ”
Li Su was once again impressed by the empress eldest grandson's reasonableness, and said: "The queen mother's words made the sons feel ashamed, but the queen mother can rest assured that the sons will try all kinds of ways." ”
Laughing lightly, Empress Eldest Sun suddenly coughed a few times, and Li Su said at this time: "The queen mother will rest in the hospital first after a long journey, and the sons will not bother." ”
Empress Eldest Sun was also a little tired and wanted to rest, so she said, "Then go back first, I have so many people to take care of, you don't have to worry." ”
Li Su said yes and left the medical hall, and Qin Huaiyu and his party were still waiting for him, "Go back to the palace!" Li Su gave the order, and he was also physically and mentally exhausted after walking for a month, and finally understood why the population flow in ancient times was so small, and it took too much time on the road.
When the group arrived at the palace, Qin Huaiyu took the Zheng sisters to the house prepared for them, it was not a matter for them to live in the palace, and Qin Huaiyu and Zheng Binglan were fighting fiercely now, and Li Su also had to give the two of them space to move.
"Butterflies!"
When the convoy arrived at the Shu Palace, Cui Yingying barked happily, got out of the carriage and ran to a black and white puppy at the door, this is the butterfly dog that Li Su bought for her, in a few months, this butterfly dog has grown from more than ten centimeters to about twenty centimeters, and the appearance is getting more and more cute, when she went to Chang'an, Cui Yingying handed it over to Jin Daqian to feed, but she didn't expect to squat at the door today and wait for Cui Yingying.
Jin Daqian was also at the door, with a happy face, and said: "Today, the old slave said that His Royal Highness and the princess will come back today, and it has been waiting at the door, which shows that it is still with the princess." ”
He had just finished speaking. There were suddenly two "Wang" sounds in the courtyard, and then a white shadow rushed out, Li Su just got out of the carriage and was almost hit by this white shadow, and then a wet tongue licked Li Su's face, "Dead dog, why is your strength so great!" ”
This Tibetan mastiff is the snow mastiff that Li Su raised, the little guy in the past. Now it has grown into a behemoth with a body length of one meter and a height of sixty centimeters, especially the mane on the neck is thick and dense, wrapping around the neck, which is not much better than the mane of a male lion.
As soon as Xiaobai rushed out, the butterfly held by Cui Yingying kept screaming. When Cui Yingying was away, it was bullied by Xiaobai, and now that the owner is back, it has finally found a backer.
Xiaobai didn't pay attention to the butterfly's provocation at all, just snorted and rubbed on Li Su's body, very intimate.
Li Su touched Xiaobai's round head and smiled: "Even if you have a conscience, I didn't raise you in vain." ”
Cui Yingying glared at Xiaobai fiercely. Holding the butterfly and going back to the South Courtyard, she was still a little scared of Li Su's dog, it was too scary.
Jin Daqian began to echo again, "Your Highness's dog must be different. ”
Li Su patted Jin Daqian's shoulder, "This year has passed, and your sycophant kung fu is good!" ”
Jin Daqian followed behind Li Su and smiled, "What the old slave said is true. ”
Just kidding. The two walked towards the palace, and Li Su said: "When I went to Chang'an, there was nothing wrong with Yizhou's government affairs, right?" ”
"There is no big thing, but Su Mo'er seems to have caught a group of smuggler salt dealers, saying that she is waiting for His Highness to come back."
"Illicit salt dealers? What's the origin? "The ordinary smuggler Su Mo'er will be dealt with in accordance with the laws of Yizhou, and she is still waiting for Li Su to come back to deal with it, so it must be that these smuggler salt dealers have some origins.
Jin Daqian hesitated for a moment and said cautiously. "Your Highness, the old slave said don't be angry!"
Li Su glanced at Jin Daqian, felt strange in his heart, and said, "Just say it!" ”|
"These people are from the Cui family!"
"What!" Li Yu stopped. "People from the Cui family?"
After all, Cui Yingying is from the Cui family, or the main mother, Su Mo'er was also a little surprised by this incident, but she has always regarded Li Su's interests as the highest, and still arrested them, when Jin Daqian said this, he was also a little worried in his heart, "It is said that Cui Zhang also went to Shangguanyi to intercede, this matter is probably right." Cui Zhang and Su Mo'er are not familiar with each other, so they can only find Guanyi.
Li Sugang's good mood for returning to Yizhou disappeared instantly, and he said: "Did the seven children of the Cui family who were officials in Yizhou participate in this matter?" ”
"This old slave doesn't know." Kim Dae-kyim said.
Li Su said slowly: "I know, don't make a noise about this matter for the time being." According to Li Su's cognition, Cui Shao would not do this, so who is doing this?
He returned to the bedroom, Cui Yingying was having fun with butterflies at this time, Li Su wanted to talk about it, but he didn't want to rush to this time, wait for a few days of rest.
Thinking of Empress Changsun and Li Yuan, Li Su called Jin Daqian again and asked him to send a cook to the medical school to prepare food for Empress Changsun and Li Yuan.
Now that Zhang San has opened a chef training class, the chef of this palace must be the first to be trained, so there are more than a dozen chefs in the kitchen, and now the palace is more than enough.
He also instructed Jin Daqian to close the door and thank the guests, and Li Su rested in the palace for three days, so that he could recover from the fatigue of the long journey.
On this day, Su Mo'er came over as soon as Li Su got up, she saw that Cui Yingying was still sleeping, and she glanced at Li Su, Li Su understood, and followed her to the main hall after leaving the South Courtyard.
I haven't seen her for more than a month, Li Su saw Su Mo'er and made a mistake on her, Su Mo'er opened Li Su's strange hand and said, "Your Highness, I have something to do with you." ”
Li Su put away a wicked smile and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Highness knows about the Cui family's sale of illicit salt, right?" Su Mo'er looked into Li Su's eyes as she spoke.
Li Su has also rested in the past few days, thinking that it is time to deal with some serious things, he said: "Jin Daqian told me, when did you arrest them?" ”
Su Mo'er said: "On the night of Yuanzheng, they are also very good at picking time? Picked up a time when Wuhou was the least vigilant. ”
Li Zhuo sneered when he heard this, Yuan Zheng's night was Chinese New Year's Eve, "Then have you investigated clearly?" ”
"Well, in the past two days, there have just been some eyebrows, and there seems to be something wrong within the Cui family now, and the elders of the Cui family are now very dissatisfied with Cui Shao, accusing him of betting all the fate of the Cui family on His Royal Highness, and those elders are some stubborn characters. They are very concerned about the gate valve system, and although His Royal Highness's current political reform is far away in Yizhou, it has already threatened their interests, they are afraid that His Royal Highness will inherit the throne in the future, and now they are beginning to support Li Chengqian, this group of smuggler salt dealers are the people of these elders, and four of the seven sons of the Cui family are involved in this matter. One of them worked in the salt industry department of the Tang Chamber of Commerce, and he used his authority to smuggle out a shipload of illicit salt, totaling 3,000 stones. Su Mo'er said carefully.
"Three thousand stones? Enough to kill heads. Li Su said lightly.
Li Su's words made Su Mo'er's heart chill, and her face showed hesitation, and she stopped talking.
Li Su caught a glimpse of Su Mo'er's appearance and suddenly smiled. "You, like Kim Daqian, are you worried about the princess?"
Su Mo'er nodded: "After all, the princess is from the Cui family, if the four children of the Cui family are executed......", she didn't dare to say any more.
Li Su sighed: "Mo'er, in your opinion, is there still room for reconciliation between me and the Gate Lords clan?" ”
"Your Highness has created three major academies, regardless of whether they are high or low, and selects those who are capable. This is contrary to the custom recommended by the gate lord clan, and His Royal Highness will soon implement universal education in Bashu, which is the policy of completely destroying the gate lord clan to occupy the court, so that the gate lord magnates in the north will be even more intolerant of His Highness. Su Mo'er analyzed the intelligence collected and the actual situation of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Su stood up, looked at the sky in the west, and said, "You are right, almost everything this king is doing is against the gate lord clan. In the past, they were not wary of this king, but after the establishment of the three major academies and the end of the political reform in Yizhou, the gate lords in the north faintly had a tendency to unite, although on the surface they were still doing business with Yizhou, but they all reached a consensus on the issue of the throne, that is, they would not let me inherit the throne. However, this king doesn't care about the throne either. ”
Su Mo'er's gaze fell on the corners of Li Su's raised mouth, and she suddenly pursed her lips and laughed, "Now His Highness is on the side." Gathering the wealth of the world, and governing Bashu so prosperously, the places outside Bashu are relatively just poor places, and they are indeed not attractive. ”
"Not only that, the reason why I chose Yizhou in the first place is because there is no foundation of the gate lord clan here, and after the high-power clan is dealt with, Yizhou has no forces that can confront the palace, and this year, Shangguan Yi has also gradually cleaned up the local Haoqiang in Bashu under my instruction, such as Dou Xiande's family has now been converted into a business family." Li Su was very satisfied with the situation in Yizhou, and said slowly, "And the power of the northern gate lords is deeply rooted, even if I inherit the throne, I am afraid that I will have to fight a war to solve them, but then it will be a river of blood, and this Tang Dynasty has only been stable for a few years?" Rather than this, it is better to use a new Bashu to slowly influence the Tang Dynasty and infiltrate it with culture. ”
As if she understood something, Su Mo'er said, "So His Highness plans to use this incident to clear the Cui family's forces in Yizhou this time?" lest a restless force be formed, which in the end must be resolved by force. ”
"That's right, Yingying is the princess, but she should understand that marrying this king also means that she will have to think about her husband's family everywhere in the future, instead of thinking about the Cui family, I don't want to see a new gate valve force take root in Yizhou, otherwise that will really harm her." Li Su said what he said in his heart, while the Cui family has not taken root in Yizhou now, suppress the Cui family's forces, so as not to lose the tail, if it is not for the time when the soldiers are facing each other, he and Cui Yingying will really not be able to be husband and wife, and Li Su believes in Cui Yingying, but he does not believe Cui Zhang, because as Su Moer said, Cui Shao and Cui Zhang's father have disagreed.
Su Mo'er sighed: "I'm afraid the princess doesn't know what happened to the Cui family now, Your Highness only needs to tell her, and she will definitely understand." ”
Li Su sighed, he didn't expect such a thing to happen when he came back, but the long pain is better than the short pain, and this matter will have to be solved sooner or later.
