Li Shimin did not hide his feelings, and Li Tao was also happy to listen.

However, Li Tao looked at the dragon chair under Li Shimin's buttocks and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, take a closer look at this dragon chair, it's really shabby!" ”

Li Tao's words made Li Shimin also cheer up, carefully looked at the dragon chair under his buttocks, and after looking at it for a while, Li Shimin said with a blushing face: "This king of Goguryeo, I don't talk about learning from the Tang Dynasty everywhere, and I still learn a good face, but why don't you learn it here!" This dragon chair is actually made of copper! ”

Li Tao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your Majesty, let's go to the treasure house to have a look, if there is nothing in the treasure house, it's too late to scold them!" ”

Li Shimin also hurriedly stood up, looked at Li Tao and said, "That's right, take me to the treasure house to have a look, if the treasure house is still empty, this battle will be lost!" ”

Fortunately, the treasure trove was full of gold and silver, and Li Shimin only took a general look at it and felt relieved.

Then he said with satisfaction: "I personally followed me to fight this battle, so this gold will not be distributed to the soldiers, but every soldier has a reward, and I will calculate it when I return to Chang'an!" ”

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tao hurriedly explained: "Why did the emperor say this, in the past, other generals led troops to fight and the spoils of war would also be transported back to Chang'an, and the soldiers would not swallow it privately!" ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Tao with some surprise, and saw that he looked calm, Li Shimin said: "I heard that Hou Junji will give the treasure to the soldiers every time he wins a battle, and the rest will be left to me, could it be that what I heard is all fake?" ”

Li Tao didn't say much, but Hou Junji was also in a difficult moment at this time.

The eldest grandson Chong was on Hou Junji's mansion at this time, looked at Hou Junji and said: "General Hou tomorrow we will take people to attack the palace together, please open the city gate at night and let us in, so as not to startle the snake!" ”

Hou Junji sighed, looked at the eldest grandson and said, "Have you decided to do it after all?" I don't know how many soldiers the emperor has left for the crown prince, once you do it, there is no turning back, do you want to think about it again? ”

Changsun Chong saw Hou Junji's entangled face, and knew that Hou Junji was still thinking, but Changsun Chong still said: "General Hou only needs to open the city gate on time, if General Hou intends to participate, then bring the soldiers with us, if you don't want to participate, then stay at the city gate and wait for our good news!" ”

Through the light, Hou Junji stared at the eyes of Changsun Chong, and seeing his confident appearance, Hou Junji drank the wine in the cup and said, "Okay, I will open the door for you when the time comes!" ”

When the eldest grandson Chong saw that Hou Junji should do this, he hurriedly filled Hou Junji's cup with wine, and then picked up the cup of his own face and said, "Then thank you General Hou, this glass of wine is for you!" ”

Hou Junji nodded, but did not drink the glass of wine that was only full in front of him.

A lot seemed to happen that night, but nothing seemed to have happened.

The next day, Li Chengqian came to the Jinluan Hall as usual to prepare for the early dynasty.

The ministers didn't know what happened today, and they didn't mention yesterday's incident, as if they were frightened by Li Chengqian, and they all talked about the mess in their hands in a proper manner, and even many officials who were originally detained at home were released by them.

After the routine question-and-answer, Li Chengqian left behind the officials who had been locked up at home and drove the others away.

Li Chengqian first spoke: "Ministers, let's talk about it, why don't you come out of the house?" Is it really sick? ”

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, everyone looked at each other, and the oldest person spoke: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we are indeed not sick, but we have been told that we will not use it for a short time to go to the early court, and we want to go out to find you to explain, but we were also stopped by some people, so we have not come to the early court for so long." ”

The rest of the people responded and said, "Yes, we thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted it······ Now it doesn't seem like that! ”

Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh when he heard their words, stood up and looked at them and said, "What do you think I'm doing?" Think I want to bury my heart in the imperial mausoleum? How can you believe such nonsense, although I had a quarrel with my father when I died, I will not be dizzy to this point! ”

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian looked at them and said: "I ask myself, I haven't done anything ridiculous for so many years, and I have been doing things that belong to my position as the prince inside and outside the court, can any of you tell me what wrong things I have done over the years?" ”

The more Li Chengqian spoke, the more angry he became, and he looked at them and said: "Although he is from a humble background, he has been serving me with all his heart and soul all these years, why did my father behead him because of the gossip outside, I just treat him as a friend!" ”

Li Chengqian's sad appearance did not win their sympathy, but these ministers looked at Li Chengqian's angry appearance and began to discuss in a whisper.

Li Chengqian saw that they were talking about himself again, and said helplessly: "Don't leave today, the ministers, go to the side hall for two days, and let's discuss some things together after the left and right servants wake up!" ”

Saying that, Li Chengqian shouted outside the door: "I'm tired, come here, take everyone to the side hall!" ”

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, the ministers present were a little confused, and the person who spoke just now hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, why is this? What do you want to keep me waiting in the palace? ”

Li Chengqian took a deep breath, looked at them and said, "I don't want to say more to you, because I know that no matter what I say now, you won't believe it, so go to the side hall to take care of the other officials, and you can rest assured that you will return home together in three days!" ”

said that Li Chengqian was about to leave, but the official still said unrelentingly: "Your Highness, do you have any intention in doing this?" Could it be that all the rumors out there are true? Do you really want to imprison us for your purpose? ”

Li Chengqian became more and more angry when he heard their words, but he still said patiently: "Stay in the palace for three days, I will send a message to your family outside the palace, this is an order from the palace, do you still have any questions?" ”

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, the officials present no longer had any doubts, and followed Cheng Chumo to the side hall.

It happened that Imperial Doctor Liu was checking the pulse of the officials, and they hurriedly leaned over and said, "Old Liu, what's going on with them?" And the prince let us stay in this side hall for three days, what happened? ”

Imperial Physician Liu let go of the patient's wrist, looked at the people, and saw all familiar faces, Imperial Physician Liu touched his beard and said, "You have been outside the palace and don't know anything?" I don't believe that! ”

"We really don't know, we've been locked up in the house for the past few days, although there is food and drink, but there is no news coming in!"

"It's, it's, if we knew and asked you what the old thing was doing!"

"Don't make any noise, listen to Lao Liu, what's going on!"

Imperial Doctor Liu pinched his beard, looked at everyone and said: "The officials lying here are all poisoned, and this poison smells very strong, if it is not forcibly poured into the mouth, then there is only one possibility, that is, they were deceived by their relatives!" ”

As soon as Imperial Doctor Liu's words came out, the whole venue was ignited, and these officials began to argue.

"Lao Liu, this means that this poison tastes very undrinkable, and it can't be silently wrapped in the food, so it can only be sent by people close to it in the name of tonic, right?"

"Then it's true that the father-killing or something rumored outside is true!"

"I can't imagine that these bastards are so ruthless, and they dare to harm their own father!"

"Yes, so many officials died of poison together, and they are not afraid of being found out?"

Imperial Doctor Liu listened to their words, pinched his beard with a smile and said: "This poison can't be detected in the human body after a period of time, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send them to the palace, I wouldn't be able to find out what kind of poison this poison is a few days later!" ”

Imperial Doctor Liu is right, because in a few days, the poison will be completely gone, and people will wake up naturally, and Imperial Doctor Liu has advanced the time of waking up through acupuncture.

The rest of the people looked at each other in shock.

"How dare they, they really murdered their father!"

"That kid in my family also brought me a tonic a few days ago, but the smell was so bad that I was disgusted and knocked out the bowl!"

"I heard that Lao Guan and Lao Wu are also fainting at home, so hurry up and send someone to send them to the palace too!"

Imperial Doctor Liu waved his hand, and said with an unfathomable look: "Don't worry about the officials outside, I have already sent someone to deliver the antidote to their mouths, or it won't be long before they wake up on their own!" Don't worry! ”

Saying that, Imperial Doctor Liu looked at them and said: "The prince kept you in the palace to protect you, and you don't know that the officials outside are ganging up, and besides, the emperor is coming back soon, so what's the matter if you stay in the palace for a few days!" ”

Imperial Doctor Liu's words were not shocking, and his words stirred up a thousand waves.

"The emperor is coming back? How is it possible, how long has he been away, it was an expedition to Goguryeo, not an expedition to Wangjiatun! ”

"That is, the terrain of Goguryeo is very complicated, although we will definitely win, but Goguryeo's advantage in the terrain will definitely last for a while!"

"What are we doing so far away, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave us in the palace! Did he say protection is protection? I think he also has his own secrets! ”

Imperial Doctor Liu was so troubled by their quarrel that he couldn't help but say, "You're late!" If only I had come yesterday! ”

The official on the side was puzzled: "Why is it late?" Was there anything good yesterday? ”

Imperial Doctor Liu thought of yesterday's tragic situation, looked at them with a grin and said, "It's not a good thing, it's that if you came yesterday, then you won't open your mouth to speak now!" ”
