Chapter 908: The Emperor's Family Letter
I don't know why, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, Zhao Jie was a little confused, there were too many inexplicable strange things that had happened recently.
In the midwinter and December of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, returned.
He went to Qizhou and witnessed the chaos in Qizhou, and the crimes of Li You, the king of Qi, were written in a piece of music and placed on the emperor's table.
Killing the loyal vassal Quan Wanji and dismembering him is rarely such a evil deed for princes in the past.
Privately opened the treasury and expelled the people as soldiers.
He also privately appointed his cronies as princes.
Li Shimin was so angry that he didn't sleep all night and coughed incessantly.
The emperor wrote a letter to Qizhou, which was a letter from the emperor to his son, and the letter was full of admonition and scolding to Li You.
This was the emperor's last warning to Li You.
Zhang Yang sat on Lishan Mountain, and from the paper handed by the prince, he saw the words of the family letter that the emperor gave to Li You.
"I once warned you not to get close to villains, you have always had a good temperament ....... Quan Wanji is a loyal martyr, and you killed him! ”
In the emperor's letter, he scolded the king of Qi for becoming a man like a deer, forgetting loyalty and filial piety, disturbing Qizhou, and dying innocently.
The letter said, "You are my son, and now you are the enemy of your family and country. ”
“…… Because of this, I am ashamed of the emperor and the earth, and I am sorry. ”
The prince sighed and said, "Your Majesty has been crying for a long time when he wrote this letter. ”
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "This is His Majesty's last advice to him. ”
The prince nodded and said, "I heard that Liu Dewei told that after King Qi killed Quan Wanji, he was still feasting guests. ”
Looking at Zhang Yang's expression, the prince advised: "I hope that the county marquis will not interfere in this matter, and the state capitals have prepared soldiers and horses, as long as the king of Qi dares to rebel, it can be quickly extinguished." ”
Zhang Yang drank warm tea and said in a low voice: "Lishan had a conflict with King Qi at the beginning, but I have never met King Qi. ”
"This matter has nothing to do with Lishan anymore."
"Thank you for the advice of the prince, the letter that the prince wants to send to Qizhou has been stopped."
The princess nodded with relief, "The old slave is old, so he can take care of some of them." ”
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "This Datang must be good." ”
In the middle of winter this year, Lishan has grown fresh green vegetables, which can also be sold at a good price.
Zhang Yang made a greenhouse out of cloth on the fields of Lishan, and the top of the greenhouse was covered with black cloth, always paying attention to the temperature of the soil.
Bean sprouts and turnips can be grown, and cold-tolerant crops such as spinach are also good.
Li Xiaogong laughed loudly and said: "From now on, Lishan is no longer afraid of having no green vegetables to eat." ”
The greenhouse is very warm, and in order to ensure the temperature in the shed, there are stoves one by one, which are often taken care of.
Growing vegetables in greenhouses is a thankless task.
The cost is too high, and not everyone can be like Lishan, who can ignore the cost for a bite of vegetables.
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "This kind of planting is only in our Lishan, and if you put it in other places, I am afraid that you will not be able to make money by selling vegetables." ”
"Can't you really do it?"
"Not yet." Zhang Yang patted the cloth on the greenhouse, "This kind of cloth has poor temperature insulation, and I need a better material." ”
"Sure enough, this Lishan vegetable also has a feeling of fighting with the sky and the earth." Yan Liben happily held a bunch of spinach, and sighed a little sadly.
Li Xiaogong was dissatisfied with this old guy's cheap and obedient behavior, so he asked again: "What material?" ”
"A good light transmission, heat preservation, good insulation."
"Ruri!" Li Xiaogong immediately replied: "Don't you have a glass-roofed greenhouse in Lishan?" ”
After that, he smiled embarrassedly, "Oh, the old man's mouth, the glass is really not suitable." ”
Zhang Yang smiled knowingly: "It's good to have imagination, what Lishan needs to learn is imagination, as bold as possible." ”
"That's nature, we can have Lishan today, all thanks to Lishan's knowledge, it really turns decay into magic, and there is no other in this world!"
While the two were talking, Li Tai hurriedly walked to the field, "Brother-in-law! Something happened, Liu Dewei came back, and his father ordered the transfer of troops to various state capitals, I am afraid that Li You's rebellion is not far away. ”
Li Xiaogong scolded angrily: "This bastard boy, finally can't end it." ”
Seeing Li Tai's panicked expression, Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "It's not that His Royal Highness the King of Wei wants to rebel, don't panic." ”
"Brother-in-law laughed, where did I get the courage to rebel?"
Zhang Yang waved his hands and said, "Your father and emperor haven't been sleeping well lately. ”
Li Tai lowered his head and answered, he was in a low mood at this time, with some anger in his eyes, "I really want to pick off Li You's skin with my own hands, my father wants to have three long and two short, I want to crush him Li You's bones and ashes." ”
An absurd rebellion, Li Shimin finally gave King Qi some way out, but it just depends on whether King Qi himself is willing to take this way of retreat.
In the middle of winter, it was December, and it was still snowing heavily.
In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin summoned Li Zhi, "Childish slave, you and Li Junxian went to Qizhou in person and brought Li You back to me." ”
Li Zhi saluted and said, "Erchen takes the order." ”
Looking at his father's haggard face, Li Zhi was particularly distressed, he walked out of the Ganlu Hall and asked Li Junxian, "Dare to ask General Li when he will leave." ”
"Your Majesty has a decree to bring people back before the King of Qi rebels, and set off immediately, hoping to catch up."
"Okay, wait outside the Chunming Gate."
"Hmm." Li Junxian nodded with a straight face.
Back in the Chongde Palace, Gongsun Xiaoniang saw His Royal Highness King Jin hurriedly packing up his baggage, and said curiously: "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”
"My father ordered me to bring the King of Qi back and go to Qizhou, and you will take care of Li Shen here."
Gongsun Xiaoniang's expression was firm, "The servant is willing to go with His Highness." ”
Li Zhi said again: "It's freezing and it's freezing, and I'm going to march again." ”
Hearing King Jin's words, Gongsun Xiaoniang felt warm in her heart, the man who came out of Lishan was really different, she smiled: "There are gloves, hats and scarves given by His Royal Highness, as well as these boots, it is not cold." ”
Li Shen saluted and said: "The imperial brother can go as far as he can, and the younger brother can read by himself in the Chongde Palace, and when the imperial brother comes back, the younger brother will also write the results of his studies." ”
Li Zhi patted this younger brother on the shoulder, this is a sensible younger brother.
After packing up, Li Zhi and Gongsun Xiaoniang hurriedly walked out of Chengtianmen, and as soon as they walked to Chunming Gate, they met Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia, who were also carrying burdens.
Seeing this, Li Zhi was puzzled: "You also have to travel far away?" ”
Di Renjie said with a smile: "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is going to travel far away, and the two of us are willing to go to Qizhou together." ”
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, Di Renjie." Li Zhi put the burden on the back of the horse and said, "I may have to clash with the King of Qi here, and I will use swords and soldiers at that time." ”
"Hahaha!" Zhang Cambodia said with a smile: "A certain family has recently read military books, and if you give three or five hundred soldiers and horses, you can break Qizhou." ”
The corners of Li Zhi's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice: "You Zhang Cambodia is talented, and ordinary people can never compare with you." ”
Zhang Cambodia is still very proud.
He even has a smile on his face?
Li Zhi wanted to raise his foot and kick him well, but finally endured it.
is like having an unreliable Cheng Chumo next to his brother-in-law, and there is also an arrogant Zhang Cambodia beside him.
In life, there will always be one or two friends who are not very reliable.
Li Zhi shook his head in discouragement, he sat in the carriage with the little lady of Gongsun, and Zhang Cambodia and Di Renjie rode horses to protect them.
Walked all the way to the official road a mile outside the city, where he met Li Junxian's soldiers and horses.
There are not many soldiers and horses, there are only more than 1,000 people, this time I went to Qizhou to bring the king of Qi, not to quell the chaos, there are soldiers and horses from various state capitals, and there is no need for Li Junxian's soldiers and horses.
Qizhou is located in the west of the land of Qilu, and the folk customs of Ludi are good, but this trip is a long journey.
There was Li Junxian escort along the way, and it was quite stable.
The team has been marching for a day, and has just left Weinan, and will be able to leave Tongguan tomorrow.
Li Zhi has the craftsmanship of Lishan, and naturally he has become a fragrant bait in the army, and the soldiers brought a lot of prey to hunt with him, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, as long as you give a certain family a leg." ”
The soldier held a slaughtered chicken in his hand and swallowed greedily.
Li Zhi also looked at the rabbits, chickens, ducks and roe deer on the grill, and they couldn't roast anymore, "Put it on the table." ”
"King Xie Jin."
I went to Qizhou, and a lot of news was sent.
Di Renjie looked worried: "It seems that King Qi is surrounded by wine bags and rice bags, and none of them are of Chinese use, so he rebelled and killed himself." ”
Zhang Cambodia was curious: "Isn't there still Xu Xuan and You Wenzhi?" ”
"These two people may be strategic, but now the main roads leading to Qizhou have long been blocked, and most of them have not yet arrived in Qizhou."
Di Renjie looked at the map and calculated, "Liu Lan was arrested and they left, it was only a month before and after, and the actions of the DPRK and the central government to arrest them were very fast, and the state capitals around the country were watching, they could only take a detour if they couldn't take the official road." ”
Zhang Cambodia thinks that we are going to bring King Qi back, what are these two guys?
When the king of Qi is brought back, those who should be subdued will also be subdued.
The team rested for the night, and the next day, just after dawn, the hall marched again, and Gongsun Xiaoniang kept holding a water bladder, which was full of hot water, which she could use to keep warm.
Li Zhi has been looking at the official documents coming and going to Qizhou these days, Qizhou is a rich place, close to the Yellow River in the north and the sea in the east.
It is a land full of legends, the land of Qilu is desirable, in addition to these legends, there are also rich specialties.
After leaving Tongguan, the heavy snow stopped, and Li Junxian rode his horse to the side and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, after Zhengzhou, it is very close to Qizhou." ”
"There's General Lau Lee."
Li Junxian kept a straight face and quickened his pace.
Li Zhi looked at the back of the team and saw Zhang Cambodia sitting weakly on horseback, his expression was sluggish.
The march had only been three days, and there was still at least half a month to go.
Di Renjie is better and can persevere.
This Cambodia is a little unbearable, this guy keeps saying that he wants to be a general, and he can't bear this hardship.
Li Zhi beckoned: "Cambodia, will you come and sit on the wheel for a while?" ”
"Okay."
Zhang Cambodia's expression was delighted.
He was about to ride his horse forward, but Di Renjie said in a low voice: "Cambodia, do you still want to prepare a carriage for you?" ”
"That's it." Zhang Cambodia lifted his spirit, and said: "It's good for a certain family to ride a horse." ”
Li Zhi cast an approving glance at Di Renjie.
After traveling for half a month, the team finally arrived in Zhengzhou, where they could rest for a few days.
For Li Junxian, the journey was very rushed, but His Majesty still reserved a glimmer of hope for King Qi, if he was brought to Chang'an City before he decided to rebel, maybe he could save the child's life.
He gave only two days to rest, and after two days of rest, he was ready to march with food and grass, and then he had to hurry again.
Li Zhi took the little lady of Gongsun, Zhang Cambodia, and Di Renjie into the city.
Zhengzhou is located in Henan, which is Xingyang, Henan.
There are three counties of Guangwu, Xingyang and Chenggao, surrounded by six rivers, and it is a rich place in the Central Plains.
Xingyang is a big city, and the state officials here have come to see the king of Jin.
Li Zhi only saw the county guard here and inquired about some things about Qizhou.
Zhang Cambodia took a bath and fell asleep.
The closer you get to Qizhou, the clearer the things about Qizhou become, Li You has indeed done a lot of angry things, and even the villagers in Zhengzhou have heard of it.
After two days of rest in Zhengzhou, the team set off again.
After another ten days of marching, I finally arrived at the border of Qizhou.
Along the way, you can see the villagers coming and going, many of them come out of Qizhou, and few go to Qizhou.
After walking for a long time, an official blocked the way of the procession.
"The next official is here to see King Jin!"
Li Zhi stepped out of the carriage, looked at this official, who was wearing the official uniform of the county prince, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The official handed over a roll of yellow silk, "The King of Qi has an order, and I hope that His Royal Highness the King of Jin will conspire with great things." ”
"Take it!" Li Zhi suddenly shouted!
Li Junxian nodded, and some officers and soldiers stepped forward to grab the people and escort them to the rear of the team.
Li Zhi opened the yellow silk and took a look, fell to the ground, stepped on it with his foot, and scolded angrily: "King Qi! You are hopeless! ”
Zhang Cambodia said in a low voice: "Renjie, if the King of Qi is reversed, will our soldiers and horses have to ...... with him?"
Di Renjie snorted coldly: "Are you afraid? ”
"Afraid?" Zhang Cambodia snorted coldly again: "A certain family is not afraid, even if he has thousands of troops." ”
Di Renjie said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty will not let the King of Jin get involved in dangerous places, these days I have read the official documents from all over the country, Your Majesty ordered the soldiers and horses of the nine state capitals to encircle and suppress the King of Qi, and if you want to raise troops to rebel, you will seek your own death." ”
Li Zhi said in a low voice: "I want to see King Qi!" ”
Li Junxian said: "It's almost time to arrive in Qi County." ”
Qi County is located on the edge of the city of Qizhou, and the outside of the city is surrounded by strong walls and clear fields, and it looks like it is going to fight.
Li Junxian stopped and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin should not come forward." ”
Qi Jun was in front of him, and the king of Qi was in the city, Li Zhi once again recalled his father's haggard look, and thought that he would invite him to conspire with great things.
With anger burning in his heart, Li Zhice immediately stepped forward for a distance.
Li Junxian wanted to beware of the arrows on the city, so he accompanied the king of Jin and followed forward.
Li Zhi shouted towards the city: "King Qi! You bastard! The face of your father and the face of Datang have all been lost to you! ”
The shouts resounded through the four fields.
There was silence above the city, and there was no word.
Li Zhi took a deep breath and said loudly: "You come out for me!" Thou art nested in the city, and thou art cowardly as a mouse. ”
Di Renjie stood behind, looked around, and said in a low voice: "The soldiers and horses of the nine state capitals surround Qi County, and the King of Qi can't turn the sky." ”
A figure appeared on the top of the city, and an arrow flew up, landed in front of him, and plunged into the earth.
Li Zhi looked at the arrow in front of him, his eyes were red with anger, and he scolded angrily again: "King Qi! You bastard! You don't have to die well! ”
