Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 185 The Return

Fan Yang Lu's move can be regarded as a clear attack on Li Shimin, Li Shimin endured it and did not get angry, but found that people came out one after another to say the same thing.

"Xingyang Zheng's ······"

"Taiyuan Wang's ······"

"Zhaojun Lee's ······"

"Bolingcui's ······"

It was the first time that the people with the five surnames confronted Li Shimin head-on in the court, and the point they were fighting for was the Gao Changguo that was in ruins.

The old king touched his beard and smiled, in the past few days, the people with the five surnames have been looking for themselves openly and secretly, and handed out a cooperation plan to themselves, plus this time Datang needs Gaochang's grain as a backing, and King Gaochang is also holding Li Shimin steadily.

I saw that Li Shimin's face was blue and he didn't say anything, but King Gaochang knelt down and thanked him and said: "Thank you Emperor, thank you Jiangnan Shi clan, with your help, my Gaochang disaster has been decided!" ”

As soon as the old king's words came out, it was decided that Li Shimin himself would not pay for someone to help Gaochang, and the Jiangnan Shi clan was willing to do so, which seemed to satisfy the ideas of the two parties, but in fact Li Shimin was reluctant.

The deeper the Jiangnan Shi clan is involved with other countries, the greater the threat they will be to themselves, and one day they will be overthrown if they see that their emperor is not pleasing to their eyes, but at this moment, Li Shimin is powerless to prevent the infiltration of the Jiangnan Shi clan, seeing that most of the officials have interests involved, they have already knelt down to second, Li Shimin waved his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Then it depends on all the Aiqing, since the Jiangnan gentry are willing to help Gaochang, then work hard for them!" ”

Li Shimin characterized the famous family of the five surnames as a wealthy gentleman in one sentence, and the ministers seemed to have the intention to refute it, but after looking at Li Shimin's aggressive eyes, they did not speak again.

So the matter about Gaochang was decided, and it didn't take long for the time for King Gaochang to return to China was also set, and at noon seven days later, the prince and the princess of Gaochang had stayed in Chang'an for a long time, and the prince went to study in the country, and the princess would also give family affairs in these days.

Li Shimin was so angry, but he still found Princess Changle for the first time and wanted to ask her whether the pregnancy was true or not.

The imperial doctor in the dormitory was waiting by Changle's side early, and when Li Shimin came over, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, Princess Changle is pregnant, and it will be more than three months. ”

Li Shimin nodded, and then motioned for the imperial doctor to go down, Li Shimin looked at Changle's somewhat pale face, and finally had to sigh and say, "When did you find out that you are pregnant!" ”

Changle looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one else, and then said softly: "Just a few days ago, Erchen felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked the imperial doctor to come and take a look, and then he found out that he was pregnant. ”

Li Shimin nodded, and before he could speak, Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong walked in from the main entrance, only to see Changsun Chong looking at Princess Changle and Li Shimin with a wronged face, "Your Majesty, wronged, I really haven't seen that Ashina, and I have never betrayed the Tang Dynasty!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also knelt on the side and said: "Your Majesty, please do another investigation at this time, don't easily believe the villain's slander!" ”

Li Shimin looked at the father and son, and snorted coldly angrily: "Get up, you don't need to say that I will naturally investigate this matter, now that Changle is pregnant, the concubine will accompany him in the princess's mansion, as for Zongzheng Shaoqing, he will be dismissed." ”

The eldest grandson Chong was still a little unwilling, but the eldest grandson Wuji turned his head on the side and thanked him: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" ”

Then he rushed up with his eldest grandson and looked at Princess Changle and said, "The princess is pregnant?" How long has it been? ”

Li Shimin glanced at the father and son, and said angrily: "It's been three months!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, Changsun Wuji was overjoyed, but Changsun Chong was stunned, he remembered that the last time he had sex with Princess Changle was three months ago, almost four months, and then Princess Changle has been praying in the Taoist temple on the mountain, why did she suddenly become pregnant, and during this time, I don't know how many women I brought to the house, but none of them were pregnant, and Changsun Chong has begun to wonder if he can't do it.

Eldest Sun Wuji looked at Eldest Sun Chong's face without joy, and hurriedly pushed him, Eldest Sun Chong came to his senses, and hurriedly came to Changle's side and said: "Princess, I will take care of your daily life after that!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, still thinking in his mind about what Li Junxian said to him just now, "Someone saw His Royal Highness King Wu outside, but that person is not sure if he saw His Royal Highness King Wu!" ”

In fact, Li Shimin knew that King Wu was not dead, and even King Wu was doing things for Li Shimin now.

Doesn't it sound a little mysterious, Li Shimin knew about King Wu's fake death, so when did he know about it?

Li Shimin's thoughts returned to the day when Li Chengqian left Chang'an for disaster relief, King Wu quietly entered the palace alone, Li Shimin was not surprised when he saw him, but took out the half-burned letter from the drawer and handed it to him, asking him what was going on.

King Wu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Father Qi, these letters are all written by the dead stand-in, and these things have nothing to do with the son-in-law!" ”

Li Shimin's face was much better, but he still looked at King Wu with a cold face and said, "Since you are fine, why don't you come out to see me early, do you know how worried I am about you and how sad your mother is!" ”

King Wu replied a little helplessly: "There is naturally a secret in this, and I ask my father to listen to me slowly!" ”

So King Wu and Li Shimin talked for an afternoon, and Li Shimin knew the reason and agreed to King Wu's action.

On the bank of the Grand Canal, he looked at the big sun above his head, and said angrily: "What kind of disaster did you come out for, and when you go to a place, you will eat up the food stored in a place, are we here for disaster relief?" Let's have a meal! ”

Li Chengqian also said helplessly: "Let's come two days late, the rain has been dried up by the sun, you look at your bad idea, I have to take them out for disaster relief, now it's okay, these officials are not allowed to participate in my several books when they go back, I finally got the favor!" ”

Satisfied, looking at the direction of Ningbo, said helplessly: "No way, I thought the south was seriously affected, but I didn't expect it, this rain looks quite heavy, in fact, there is not much water, just dredge it, we can clean up and go home!" ”

Li Chengqian also smiled when he heard Xiangxin say this, "Yes, I can finally go back, the crown princess shouldn't blame me!" ”

Mo Yan also quipped on the side: "You two who have wives are waiting to go back to eat closed-door soup, or I'm single and carefree!" ”

Chengxin raised his eyebrows, looked at Mo Yan and said angrily: "Is it good to be single?" When I go back, I'll talk to Mo Juzi, ask if the Mo family is good from your generation, and I must introduce you to a fat wife like General Cheng! ”

As if hearing their words, Cheng Yanjin suddenly turned around from a distance, and when he saw a few people shut up and didn't speak, he also said with a smile: "This time I am lucky that there is no disaster, you pack up and prepare to go back to Chang'an tomorrow!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded happily, but he frowned and looked at Cheng Yanjin and said, "Won't General Cheng go back with us?" ”

Li Chengqian also looked at Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Yanjin smiled and patted the soil on his hands, and then said: "Naturally, I can't go back with you, the emperor has a decree that I personally send the food for disaster relief to the people, saying that I am afraid that the people of the Jiangnan Shi clan will interfere with it!" ”

Said that this mileage bit gold and said helplessly: "If it weren't for the general Ben personally distributing food, I'm afraid that there would be at most two achievements in the hands of the people, and the state and county officials will peel the skin layer by layer, and there will only be some rice bran left for the people in the end!" ”

Li Chengqian's face was not very good-looking, during this time, he did see the people who couldn't eat, and he also saw the fat and oily officials, but even if he could manage it for a while, he couldn't manage it for a lifetime.

The land south of the Yangtze River is complicated, even the lowest officials have clan backgrounds, and Li Chengqian can only be silent, so he has to keep these things in his heart.

When Li Chengqian left the disaster area, he silently told himself that when he ascended the throne in the future, he must let the people of Jiangnan no longer be oppressed by the squire, so that the scholars of Jiangnan do not have to look at the faces of the clan.

Without saying anything all the way, Li Chengqian and Chengxin slowly returned to Chang'an.

At this time, it has been a month since they left Chang'an, and when they returned to Chang'an, Chang'an has not changed at all.

Li Yulong, who had already gotten the news, came to the city gate to greet the two, and Li Siwen didn't know when he would return to Chang'an, and followed Li Yulong to greet this satisfaction and Li Chengqian.

Li Yulong was a little distressed when she saw Satisfactory, pulled the sleeves of Satisfactory and said with tears in her eyes: "Satisfactory, you are thin and dark again!" ”

Xiangxin didn't feel anything, pulled Li Yulong's hand, turned his head to look at Li Siwen and said, "When did the eldest brother come back, how long can you stay this time!" ”

Li Chengqian also got out of the carriage, looked at Li Siwen and said, "That's right, what should you do if you leave Runzhou!" ”

Li Siwen saw that these two people seemed to be very concerned about him, and said with a smile: "I'm just coming back to do something, and I'm going to leave in a few days, but you two have made a great contribution to disaster relief this time!" ”

Hearing this, Xiangxin showed a look of disdain, "How about meritorious service and not function, one can't be promoted, and the other can't be promoted!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Siwen was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, both of them could not be promoted because of their status, and Li Chengqian's identity as the prince naturally could not be promoted again, and he was also unable to be promoted because of his special status.

Li Yulong smiled on the side: "What's so good about being promoted, I still wish you resigned from your official position and stayed at home with me!" ”
