Satisfactory's face was full of astonishment, and when he looked at Zhao Zhao, he forcibly squeezed out a smile and said: "It's not so serious, and there are the crown prince and the emperor protecting us, no matter how bold these officials are, they don't dare to disobey the emperor's will!" ”

Zhao Zhao looked at this innocent appearance and said: "Now you may still have some value to the crown prince and the emperor, but if one day you lose value to them, will they still protect you?" Leave it up to you to make money? ”

He knew what Zhao Zhao meant, but he still trusted Li Chengqian's character, and he couldn't care about calmly talking to Zhao Zhao at this time, but said a little anxiously: "Even if there is no value, then there is human affection, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not the person you said, Brother Zhao, don't worry!" ”

Zhao Zhao also sighed when he saw that he was satisfied, but this was not the time to explain to him, and finally said: "You have to remember, the most ruthless emperor's family, how he Li Shimin's throne was obtained, you won't be unclear, it was from his own brother's corpse, do you think your favor can be greater than Li Yuan, greater than Li Jiancheng?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhao was so solemn, he could only nod, looked at him and said: "I know, this matter will be arranged by Brother Zhao, no matter how much profit is conceded, as long as we can be our own backer, then everything is easy to say!" ”

Zhao Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and then explained to Xiangxin: "We also have business dealings with the Turks, and the land of Jiangnan is all over our relationship, even if the Li family treacherously wants to kick us out, it depends on whether the people of the Jiangnan Shi clan agree!" ”

Satisfied, he nodded, and when he heard Brother Zhao talk about the Jiangnan Shi clan, he also asked cautiously: "Will this marriage of close relatives affect the cooperation between the Jiangnan Shi clan and us!" ”

Zhao Zhao also sighed when he heard the words of satisfaction, but this time he didn't sell Guan Zi but said directly: "You still know, but I just said, the profit of this tea business is too much, and I also give them enough face, and now the people of the Jiangnan Shi clan will not blame you at least on the surface, but thank you, so it will not affect our tea business in a short time!" ”

Xiangxin showed a relaxed look at this time, Zhao Zhao left when he saw that Xiangxin had nothing to say, this time he was relieved to see that he was fine, and now Chang'an has many waves of strength to take care of Xiangxin, his personal safety and don't have to worry.

After leaving the shop next to Yufengzhai, Xiangxin took Liu Deng to the East Palace for the first time, and saw that Li Chengqian was still coaxing the child to play, and Xiangxin also pulled him to the side hall on the side.

Li Chengqian was still a little angry and disturbed the sweet time between him and his son, but he said directly without waiting at all: "King Wu is not dead, he is still active in the Jiangnan region, do you know this?" ”

Li Chengqian's eyes also instantly widened, and he looked at Chengxin with questioning and said, "You mean it really? Before, the King of Chu also said that King Wu was not dead, by the way, King Chu! He seems to have left Chang'an too! ”

Satisfied with his heart and shocked, he looked at Li Chengqian and said with doubts: "The king of Chu rebelled and was released after a few months?" Your father's courage is really great! ”

Li Chengqian heard the sarcasm satisfyingly, and said with some embarrassment: "I heard my father say that the king of Chu has been stripped of his title, and now he is heavily guarded in a small county town, and his concubine who is pregnant with a child has also passed with him, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see him in this life!" ”

He sighed, looked at Li Chengqian and said helplessly: "I really don't know what your father thinks, now I also know why the eldest grandson rushed to the enemy and treasoned against the country, and the fundamental reason is that King Wu did not die, otherwise your father would not have just calmed things down!" ”

Li Chengqian was also full of suspicion when he heard the words of his heart, on the one hand, he was not sure about the treason of the eldest grandson, and on the other hand, he was also suspicious of Li Shimin, although Li Shimin told him everything during this time, but Li Chengqian did not believe that Li Shimin did not know about such a thing as King Wu was still alive.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked in the direction of Jinluan Palace, but before they could go far from the East Palace, they met Li Shimin, who came to visit the child.

Li Shimin looked at the two people who were rushing forward, and he was also a little puzzled: "Where are you two going?" Why do you look like you're rushing! ”

When Li Chengqian saw that Li Shimin was about to speak, he was stopped by Chengxin, only to see Chengxin signaling Li Chengqian to look at the old eunuch beside Li Shimin, Li Chengqian also closed his mouth and took Li Shimin into the East Palace.

In the side hall of the East Palace, after Li Shimin entered the house, he looked at Li Chengqian with a gloomy face and said, "If you have anything, just say it quickly, don't disturb me to visit my grandson!" ”

Li Chengqian was not ambiguous, now that the old eunuch had been isolated from the door, Li Chengqian also immediately said: "Father, I heard that King Wu is not dead yet, and he is active in Jiangnan, do you know about this!" ”

Li Shimin's eyes widened, he looked at Li Chengqian and then at his heart, and only after a while did he nod and said, "I know about this matter, what's wrong!" ”

Li Chengqian was stunned, but he still asked: "Since my father knows, why don't you tell me, why don't you tell the world that King Wu was not assassinated, but let him take on the identity of a dead man while doing things in Jiangnan?" ”

Li Shimin saw Li Chengqian's endless questioning, and finally sighed and explained: "After King Wu was assassinated, I also thought that he was killed, but in the room where King Wu was burned to death, I found a letter from who burned half of it, and the content of the letter probably said that King Wu and who assassinated the crown prince together, and King Wu wrote at the end that if he could ascend the throne, how much he would pay tribute to the Turks every year. ”

Chengxin was stunned, he knew that Ashina Muyun had a letter in his hand, but he didn't know that Li Shimin had also seen the same letter in Wu Wangfu.

Li Chengqian also looked at Li Shimin with a shocked face and said, "Then why didn't my father make this letter public?" Also, since King Wu didn't die, who was the one who died? ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's anxious face, and finally explained: "The person who died was one of King Wu's guards, this person was similar to King Wu's figure, King Wu didn't want to suffer the pain of a broken leg, and he was afraid of the imperial doctor's examination, so he let his guard break his leg for him, and he himself hid in a reluctant house outside King Wu's mansion, thinking that he would not come out until the guard's leg was healed." ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin also said helplessly: "But the Turks' assassination is menacing, and they don't give them a chance at all!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded, waiting for Li Shimin's next words.

When Li Shimin saw Li Chengqian's inquiring appearance, he could only explain: "Later, King Wu took the initiative to return to the palace and found me, I originally wanted to restore his identity, but he refused, but instead told me a secret!" ”

Saying this, Li Shimin looked at the satisfaction behind Li Chengqian, and the meaning was obvious, that is, he was asking Li Chengqian if he wanted to tell him about this.

Li Chengqian naturally knew what Li Shimin meant, but he trusted Chengxin very much, and when he saw Li Shimin's appearance, he immediately said: "It's good for my father to say it directly, Chengxin is now my most trusted person, and my father doesn't have to worry!" ”

Li Shimin thought about it for a while and finally nodded and said: "King Wu told me that there has always been a force hidden in the shadows within the Tang Dynasty, and those Turks did not happen to come to Chang'an, and there were Turks who attacked Jingzhou, which was also guided by this secret force, and now he found that this force seems to have a lot to do with the people of the Jiangnan Shi clan, so he plans to use himself as a bait to find out the real source of this power." ”

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin, and then turned his head to look at his heart, at this time his face was full of suspicion, King Wu would give up his identity as a prince to risk his life for the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian must be the first to disbelieve this.

Xiangxin's face is not good-looking, King Wu has been targeting this Li Chengqian openly and secretly, and now that King Wu has gone to the land south of the Yangtze River, he doesn't believe anything, King Wu is kind enough to help Li Shimin investigate the matter.

Rather than being willing to believe that King Wu was going to help Li Shimin investigate things, he was more willing to believe that he couldn't stay in Chang'an anymore and went to Jiangnan to develop his own power.

Li Shimin saw that Chengxin and Li Chengqian didn't speak, and then continued: "Do you remember ambushing your people in Youzhou? And that cult in Ningbo a few years ago! ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin looked at his heart, and then continued: "These people are all related to this undercurrent, I also felt the existence of this undercurrent before, but there has been no evidence, now that King Wu is willing to investigate, I will naturally open the door to him!" ”

Li Chengqian still asked a little puzzled: "Even if he is asked to investigate, there is no need to let him bear the name of the deceased while swaggering in Jiangnan, don't you think there is some contradiction in this?" ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and patiently explained: "The prince is too worried, not so much that King Wu is swaggering, but that the people who can see him are all people with high status, if it is not for people with status, there is no chance to see him, then I also have a problem, a good friend?" How did you meet King Wu? Who is this friend you are talking about? ”

Li Chengqian also took the opportunity to turn his head to look at Xiangxin, and Xiangxin was not ambiguous, and said without concealment: "His name is Zhao Zhao, he is my partner, he went to Jiangnan to help me find tea gardens and shops, so I was fortunate to meet His Royal Highness King Wu!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, and said to himself: "Zhao Zhao, the owner of Yufengzhai, he is very mysterious!" ”

When Li Chengqian heard that Li Shimin actually knew about Zhao Zhao, he was also curious and asked, "Father knows Zhao Zhao?" ”
