Leaving the boundary of Chang'an City, Lu Dongzan and his party went in the direction of Longyou, and when they arrived at a post house, they got off the horse and stayed in the hotel to rest.

In the middle of the night, Lu Dongzan and his party were resting when they were full of wine and food, when they heard the noise of someone walking into the post house, thinking that it was a caravan coming from afar to go to Chang'an.

Lu Dongzan didn't care at first, until his door was opened, and a gust of cold wind poured in.

Lu Dongzan, who had just opened his eyes, saw a burlap bag coming towards him, followed by sticks constantly hitting his body.

There was a lot of scolding and shouting in the post house, and it was a mess.

The people from the post house called the government as soon as possible.

Hearing that it was the Tibetan envoy Lu Dongzan who was beaten, and that he was also the prime minister of Tubo, the perpetrators had already fled.

At this moment, looking at a group of Tubo people with bruises all over their bodies, the county officials who rushed to the county were dark, and called the scribe of the county government, "We can't control this matter, and we will send the news to Chang'an immediately." ”

Lu Dongzan was covered with injuries, and it was difficult to even walk on the ground, so the county Cheng found a doctor to come and treat him.

Seeing that the room was turned into a mess and a lot of property was missing, the county Cheng concluded, "This matter is mostly done by robbers who robbed money." ”

Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth, "If it's just a robbery, why do you want to take away the file, it's going to be handed over to Zampu!" ”

The county man said again: "Maybe they took it easily." ”

"Someone must have premeditated this."

"Why did the messenger say this?"

Lu Dongzan's eyes were gloomy, "If you are a robber, why did you only rob my room, and the rest of the people's rooms were not robbed?" ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he said: "I have already written down this matter and sent a letter to Chang'an City, maybe tomorrow there will be officials from the DPRK and China to come to inquire, and I ask the envoy to wait for a day." ”

The sky was already bright, and Lu Dongzan was worried in his heart, afraid that he would not be able to get out of the customs alive, and said in a low voice: "This matter will be handed over to Datang for inquiry, and we will stay soon." ”

Enduring the pain, Lu Dongzan let his servants help him out of the inn, and continued to leave.

The Tibetan envoy Lu Dongzan left like this, and the news of the attack on the envoy soon spread to Chang'an City.

It is a matter of the dignity of the envoy, and Li Shimin also ordered Dali Temple to investigate.

After several inquiries, Dai Gao of Dali Temple also knew that Lu Dongzan had been to Lishan and had seen Zhang Yang before leaving.

Dai Gao took the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple to the front of the Ministry of Rites.

At this moment, Zhang Yang was sitting in the Ministry of Rites and eating tea eggs with Li Tai.

There are only three people in the entire Ministry of Rites, and the rest are not here.

Li Baiyao was writing papers, while Zhang Yang and Li Tai were talking and laughing while eating tea eggs.

Dai stomach on crutches, walked into it with a straight face, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Wei, and I have seen Zhang Shangshu." ”

Zhang Yang first raised his eyes to look at the old man in front of him, got up and saluted: "Dare to ask ...... in person."

Li Tai hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Dali Siqing." ”

Dai stomach stroked his beard and said: "I don't know about Lu Dongzan's attack, has Zhang Shangshu heard about it." ”

Carefully peeling the eggshell, Zhang Yang was puzzled: "Haven't you heard, you were attacked?" Didn't he just leave Chang'an City yesterday? ”

"That's right, I met Zhang Shangshu after I learned that I left, and I came to ask."

Dali Temple's movements were fast, and Li Tai lowered his head weakly, and a little sweat flowed from his forehead.

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I don't know what the Tibetan envoy is doing right now? Worried about your life? ”

Dai stomach said in a deep voice: "There is no worry about life, now I am rushing to Tubo, the local county government said that it was the robbers after inquiry, but there is something strange, it is not excluded that everyone deliberately did it, Zhang Shangshu presided over the Ministry of Rites and often interacted with foreign envoys, do you know that Lu Dongzan has a holiday with someone in Chang'an City?" ”

Zhang Yang pondered, "I don't have an impression, we usually don't pay attention to what the ministers usually do, and we can't always find someone to keep an eye on them." ”

Dai Gao saw that Zhang Yang was calm, and left with people again.

After the others left, Li Tai sat on the ground, "It's really not easy to wear a stomach, so I came to the Ministry of Rites to inquire so quickly." ”

Zhang Yang pondered, "Since it was done by robbers, how can you suspect that someone did it deliberately?" ”

Li Tai bit his nails and pondered, "It is estimated that the people under his hands have not done a good job." ”

"In the future, this kind of beating and beating people can be handed over to Chu Mo, and his people will be more professional."

"Mistaken." Li Tai scratched his head vigorously.

"The victim Lu Dongzan has left, it's not easy to investigate, if you beat it, you will be beaten, it's not a big deal."

After listening to his words, Li Tai calmed down a lot, "Brother-in-law, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and you can also interfere in the matter involving foreign ministers." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Don't worry, I will let Chu Mo help you finish as much as possible, wipe away some clues, don't be reckless in doing things in the future, you have to plan and then act, what is the origin of this stomach." ”

Asked this, Li Tai was surprised: "My brother-in-law has been serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for some days, and he still doesn't know Dai Gao?" ”

"I don't usually have any contact with other officials, nor do I have any contact with them."

Li Tai sat cross-legged and whispered, "I heard that this Dai Gao is a very talented person, but he was born in troubled times, and my father said before that if Dai Gao was born a few years later, he must be a good ruler now, but unfortunately he is also a lot of age now." ”

"Back then, this Dai Gao worked under Wang Shichong, and later joined the army of his father, and after his father ascended the throne, he let him serve as the secretary of Dali Temple, successively served as the household department, the official department, and was named the county prince."

Zhang Yang smiled, "No wonder I feel that his name is a little familiar." ”

Three days later......

Because of Lu Dongzan's eucalyptus, Dai Gao was also summoned by Li Shimin.

For this old minister of the DPRK and China, Li Shimin personally moved a chair for him and asked him to sit down.

"Your Majesty, the old minister still salutes first."

"No, Dai Gong can sit and report."

Dai Stomach's hand was still holding a cane, "Lu Dongzan was attacked by Dali Temple to investigate, there were no robbers in the attacked territory, and the attacked post house was only a day's walk away from Chang'an City, the old minister thought that someone was waiting for Lu Dongzan to leave, followed all the way, and then started after leaving Chang'an City." ”

"The old minister also thought that the perpetrator must be a powerful person in Chang'an City or an official in the court, if it was an ordinary person in Chang'an City, he might have done it, and the other party and others must be worried after leaving, or worried about their motives, or worried about their own identity, according to Lu Dongzan's location before leaving, the old minister also inquired about several powerful people, except for Zhang Shangshu, no one had a holiday with Lu Dongzan."

"Zhang Shangshu kept saying that he didn't know, but after several inquiries outside, he learned that Lu Dongzan and Zhang Shangshu had always had contradictions, and when Lao Chen continued to investigate, he found that someone had erased the clues in advance, and even the guys who were attacked at the post house left."

Li Shimin patted and said: "What a big guts! ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Dai Gao had to stand up and salute.

Seeing that he was about to stand up again, and his body was still a little trembling, Li Shimin hurriedly helped, "I have said that Dai Gong does not need to salute." ”

Dai Gao nodded again, "The old minister is suspicious of Zhang Shangshu." ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, "I thought that this matter would not be Zhang Yang's doing, although this son is young and frivolous, he is very cautious, if he does it, there will not be so many traces for Dali Temple to investigate." ”

Noticing Dai's expression, Li Shimin said again: "Don't misunderstand Dai Gong, I won't want to cover him, I thought of what happened at the beginning......"

told Dai Gao about Zhang Yang's purchase of Gaochang.

Dai stomach stroked his beard and said: "I bought Gaochang with a penny, not only can I avoid the law, but I can also hold Gaochang justifiably, and I can exchange it with Your Majesty again......"

After thinking about it again, Dai nodded and said: "The old minister is wrong, it seems that this matter will not be Zhang Shangshu's so-called, if Zhang Shangshu is so-called, if it is Zhang Shangshu's so-called, most of Lu Dongzan will die without a whole body." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin was surprised for a while, as if this result was not surprising at all.

Dai Gao continued, "It's a bit childish to see the attack on Lu Dongzan right now, the old minister is incompetent, and he disappointed His Majesty by not finding the real culprit." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's okay, you are old, it is better to go home to recuperate, and I will arrange for others to inquire." ”

After Dai Gao met Li Shimin, he resigned from the post of Dali Siqing.

I thought that this matter had passed, but just a month had passed, and in mid-June, the news reached the DPRK and China, and Dai had passed away.

Li Shimin reviewed the recital, and was speechless for a long time when he heard the news.

Li Junxian explained: "I have already asked someone from the Imperial Medical Department to see it, and I walked very peacefully. ”

Holding his forehead, Li Shimin frowned and said in a deep voice, "Pass the decree and posthumously present the right servant of Shangshu." ”

"Whoa."

"Wait." Li Shimin stopped him again, "Chase the title of Dao Guogong, and call him loyalty!" ”

There are not many important ministers who can give the name of the court.

As a result, Li Shimin resigned for three days, and many people in the DPRK and China saw him off.

Zhang Yang led Li Tai to the door of Dai Tai's house, "I don't know what King Wei thinks, I heard that he is still checking your eucalyptus before he dies." ”

A good person just met it last month, and it is still alive, and now it looks like there is only one spiritual position.

Li Tai wiped his tears and ran away in the direction of Suzaku Gate without saying a word.

It seems that this brother-in-law is still saved.

Zhang Yang stood in front of Dai Stomach Mansion, and from here he could just see the spiritual position, and bowed deeply to the spiritual position.

"Why didn't Zhang Shangshu go in?"

Hearing the inquiry, Zhang Yang raised his eyes and saw that it was Tang Jian, and straightened up again, "I don't have the face to see his old man." ”

Leave the words and leave in a hurry.

Tang Jian wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Zhang Yang's back and feeling inexplicable.

Li Tai rushed all the way into the Suzaku Gate, then rushed through the Chengtian Gate, ran all the way into the Manna Palace, and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Father, son-in-law come to admit your mistakes."

Li Shimin glanced at his son slightly, "Have you cried?" ”

Li Tai wiped his tears again, "Lu Dongzan was beaten by his son." ”

"I already knew."

"Father's ......"

"Do you think you can hide these things?"

Li Tai lowered his head again and remained silent.

Li Shimin continued to review the recital, "Don't worry, I told Dai Gong about this last month, and he knew about it half a month before he died. ”

"Then why don't you take down the son?"

Li Shimin put down the pen in his hand, "Aren't you here to confess your guilt now?" ”

Li Tai knelt and didn't speak, and inexplicably felt a chill on his back, is this what his father is planning?

The father was waiting at the beginning, deliberately not letting Dai Gao be arrested, if he didn't come, what would be the consequences......

"It was Zhang Yang who led his sons to the mansion of Duke Dai and also learned about his death."

Li Shimin nodded, "It seems that Zhang Yang pulled you, this kid is not useless, and he can be regarded as a good man." ”

"Erchen is forbidden for half a month by leading the wall, and he is filial piety for half a month."

Li Shimin took a sip of tea, "No need, you write down the story of Lishan's papermaking skills for me, and write it now." ”
