Tang Songling's arrival was not accidental, a friend of his was eating wine in Changgefang last night, and watched Liu's mother send Zi Yan to Hou Junji's room.

His friend is also a master who doesn't think much of a big deal when he sees the excitement, and after waking up in the morning, he immediately found Tang Songling and told him everything that happened last night.

Tang Songling has been a brainless person all these years, but he has been doing things relatively smoothly, and King Wu has always favored him before, although King Wu was killed, but King Wei quickly threw an olive branch to him.

Tang Songling's swelling was a little terrifying, and when he heard that General Hou stayed in Ziyan's room yesterday, Tang Songling, who was furious, immediately rushed to Changgefang and blocked Hou Junji, who had just woken up, on the bed.

Mother Liu didn't stop the menacing Tang Songling, and Zi Yan, who was already breathless at this time, couldn't stand up and persuade them again.

The eldest grandson Chong, who returned to the house, didn't expect that he had carefully laid out the matter, and he was actually disrupted by Tang Songling's straw bag.

Hou Junji's escape plan also failed completely, Tang Songling looked at Zi Yan, who was breathless, and also felt that something was wrong, and leaned over to look at it for a long time before realizing that Zi Yan was really dead.

Mother Liu looked at the stalemate and knew that this matter could not be handled as expected, only to see Mother Liu crying and shouting: "Ziyan, what's wrong with you!" What happened to General Hou last night, how could Zi Yan be like this! ”

Tang Songling also looked at Hou Junji with an angry face and said, "What did you do last night?" How could Zi Yan die, you must have killed her, right! I'm going to report to the police! ”

Saying that, Tang Songling was about to go out, but Mother Liu hurriedly grabbed Tang Songling and explained to him: "Let's listen to what Hongyun said first, I remember that Hongyun and Zi Yan came to serve him yesterday, why is Zi Yan alone now!" ”

As soon as Mother Liu's words fell, Hongyun walked in from outside, seeing the chaotic situation in front of her, Hongyun was also a little confused, "What's the matter, Tang Gongzi, don't be angry, Sister Ziyan has only you in her heart!" ”

Tang Songling turned his head to look at Hongyun, and saw that her face was also blue and purple, Tang Songling hurriedly took Hongyun's hand, rolled up her sleeve, looked at the bruise on her arm and asked, "What's the matter with the mark on your body, you didn't have it on you when I came here two days ago!" ”

Hongyun hurriedly broke free of Tang Songling's hand, looked at Hou Junji with some fear, and said: "General Hou drank too much last night, and after that, it was like a different person, not only asked for that, but also beat the two of us, I really couldn't help it and ran out secretly, but I didn't expect Sister Ziyan to be killed!" ”

This rhetoric was naturally prepared a long time ago, Tang Songling glanced at the lifeless Zi Yan, and ran out without looking back, and when he came back, he was full of officers and soldiers from Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

Hou Junji was already dressed, he didn't know anything about last night, but in his opinion, it was just a mistake to kill a prostitute and a woman, one person did things and one person did things, Hou Junji ignored Liu's mother's dissuasion, waiting for Tang Songling to bring someone over.

The little commander of Jingzhao Yin Mansion was also fooled by Tang Songling, although Tang Songling was not decent, but he also knew that Hou Junji's identity was not ordinary, if he directly said that he was here to arrest Hou Junji, this person would definitely not dare to come and arrest him.

He was still very cooperative with Hou Junji, and without explaining anything, he followed the petty official of Jingzhao Yin Mansion back, and Zi Yan's body was also brought back by the way.

Noon time is the time when there are the most people, Hou Junji walked among the officers and soldiers in a cloth suit, and several officers and soldiers behind him carried Zi Yan's body covered by the quilt, and Tang Songling also arched the fire on the side, accusing Hou Junji of "crime".

Jing Zhao Yin's Mansion did not leave Hou Junji, Hou Junji signed the confession and handed over some silver and left.

It's not that the Tang Dynasty has no human rights, it's just that Ziyan's deed of sale is in the hands of Liu's mother, and Liu's mother also said that she will not pursue it again, and General Hou can compensate some silver, plus Hou Junji's special status, this case Jingzhao Yin's mansion can't be judged, so he can only release him.

Hou Junji returned home in a trance, and seeing that the yellow-faced woman at home was still chattering beside him, Hou Junji fell into self-doubt.

After a night of hurrying, Xiangxin and the others rested and embarked on the journey again, and in the blink of an eye, it was another afternoon, and Wei Chigong and the waiting army finally met with Xiangxin and others.

Chengxin and Li Chengqian looked at Wei Chigong with exhaustion and said, "General Cheng, how is the disaster here, our manpower is mobilized by you!" ”

Wei Chigong looked at Li Chengqian and hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, there is no disaster here, although it is raining very heavily here, but after the drainage of the past few days, it is no longer hindered at this time!" ”

As soon as Wei Chi Gong said this, he and Li Chengqian were stunned, and the sentries who followed closely were also stunned, and one of the sentries asked puzzledly: "General Wei Chi said that he laughed, when I came out of the house, the water in the field had already exceeded my calves, how could it be drained in two days!" ”

Wei Chigong pulled them to the top of the hill not far away, and pointed to the Grand Canal in the distance: "Did you see this river, Cheng Yanjin led the soldiers to dig a channel and lead the water to the Grand Canal, the water level of the river has risen a lot, but it still holds on after all!" ”

When I heard the words of the Grand Canal, I remembered the TV series "Emperor Yang of Sui" that I watched when I was a child, and when I thought of this, I couldn't help but sigh: "Emperor Yang of Sui is really an emperor through the ages, but it's a pity that he is too anxious to do things." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed, but Li Chengqian's face did not change and walked to Xiangxin's side and asked, "How can you say this!" ”

Chengxin looked at Li Chengqian, but he didn't expect him to mind, and after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth: "Emperor Yang of Sui ordered to dig the Grand Canal to hurt the people, but this river will solve a lot of troubles for the Tang Dynasty in the future, and this flood is one of them." If he is able to steadily develop the economy, gradually develop the population, and ensure that the people can eat enough to dig this Grand Canal, maybe he will not end up like that. ”

Hearing the words of satisfaction, Li Chengqian also looked thoughtful, but Wei Chigong interrupted on the side: "Although there are no major floods, there are many villages far away from the Grand Canal, and Cheng Yanjin's manpower is also a little insufficient. ”

Li Chengqian nodded, and while dividing his troops and following him to Gaochangguo, he led everyone to increase the number of troops Cheng Jin.

Along the way, he saw that many fields were planted with familiar potatoes, and he felt more and more that he had contributed to Datang, but what he didn't know was that he said a few words casually just now, but it left a different impression in everyone's hearts.

Zhao Zhao, who was in Chang'an, also received a carrier pigeon from afar, and seeing that it was written on it what he had said before, Zhao Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "This kid can, he deserves to be a member of the Yang family!" ”

Satisfied with the heart of the family to go to various counties to dig canals, Hou Junji has been uncomfortable these days.

Although Hou Junji has been staying in the house for the past few days and has not gone out, he also knows that the court has been full of twists and turns for him.

Li Shimin is also a little difficult to deal with, on the one hand, he is a military general who has only returned from meritorious service, on the other hand, the righteousness of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the coercion of the Jiangnan Shi clan who already have a grudge against Hou Junji, Li Shimin can't make up his mind.

At this time, Li Shimin especially missed Li Chengqian, who was still fighting the flood outside, and the news of the flood outside had reached Chang'an, and Li Shimin's hanging heart was finally relaxed.

But a wave of caiping rose again and again, Hou Junji became the focus of the court, Li Shimin only hated himself at this time for not being ruthless to send all these sour rot to fight the flood, and let them pretend to be sick and stay.

In the end, Li Shimin still couldn't bear the pressure, punished Hou Junji, was grounded in the mansion for three months, and his official position was demoted.

Hou Junji didn't react after knowing the news, as if he had disappeared into the house.

The focus of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty also shifted from Hou Junji to Ashina Muyun and King Gaochang, and how to deal with these two people and how to deal with these two countries in the future has become an important matter for the court to discuss.

The radicals said that they would suppress their arrogance, and if such an important person fell into his hands, if he did not get enough benefits, he could not put it back, and even if he put it back, he would break a leg.

Conservatives believe that peace is precious, and the Turks take the initiative to seek peace, which is a rare opportunity for development, and Gaochang will not have the intention of betraying after this war, and if this time is used well, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty will develop to a new height.

Everyone had different opinions, as if they had played the Turks and Gaochang Kingdom in the palm of their hands, and finally Li Shimin summoned Ashina Muyun on the tenth day after he came to Chang'an after making a decision.

There are also the king and the crown prince of Gaochang in the court, these two people are in a completely different state, the king of Gaochang has a red face, although there are guards in the palace these days, but the food and drink are waiting.

But Ashina Muyun has lost a lot of weight, and his face is not very good, he wants to come to the past ten days to eat and drink, and it is estimated that he will not have a chance to leave the side hall where he is held.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, looked at Ashina Muyun and King Gaochang kneeling below, nodded and said: "The Sixth Prince of the Turks, Ashina Muyun, I heard that you planned this Turkic sudden attack on my Tang Dynasty, and now it is you who take the initiative to seek peace, what are you calculating!" ”

Ashina Muyun stood up, although his hands were still restrained, he still straightened his waist and said: "Hello Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, although I single-handedly prompted the attack on the Tang Dynasty this time, it also stems from the betrayal of your Datang people, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks have been peaceful for many years, how can it be that I can provoke it with a word!" ”
