Chapter 25: Regaining Trust

Li Shimin, Mrs. Pei, Qin Huaiying and several entourages came to the prison, Qin Huaiying disguised himself as an entourage, and a group of people came to claim the body with great fanfare. There was no one in the cell to stop them, Mrs. Pei and the others followed the emperor's orders, and the king of Qin had already bought it.

They went to see Pei Zimu first and successfully replaced Pei Zimu.

After going to Pei Wenjing's cell, as soon as Pei Zimu saw his father's body, he fell on the ground and cried bitterly: "Father, it's all sons who are unfilial and hurt you!" Seeing this scene, Li Shimin hurriedly dissuaded: "Son, this is in a cell, and the partition wall has ears." I also hope that the son's festival will be mournful. ”

Pei Zimu lowered his cry.

The people present put Pei Wenjing on the shelf with all hands and feet, and carried them out together. Pei Zimu finally managed to escape, when he recalled the appearance of his father just now, although he was very peaceful, he still had some doubts, and he was at a loss, so he turned to Li Shimin and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, I observed my father up close just now, there is blood in his seven orifices, obviously he did not hang himself, this symptom should be poisoning." ”

Li Shimin pondered for a while, and then said: "This king has long suspected that Master Pei's death is strange, if there is really a flaw, son, don't worry, this king will definitely find out about this matter." It's just not the right time. ”

"His Royal Highness King Qin, after all, my mother is a woman, and she has no contact with people in the court, and my father is gone, and it is even more difficult for people to go to tea and cool, and the only person I can count on now is Your Highness."

"Don't worry, Childe, this king will do what he says."

Pei Wenjing's funeral, Mrs. Pei single-handedly opened Luo, stopped in Pei's mansion for three days, and then went into the ground. It is said that "going into the soil is safe", Pei Wenjing is in the ground, and only he knows whether he is safe or uneasy. What is the fate of his master, His Royal Highness King Qin? And the green hat he brought with him on his deathbed! Can Pei Zimu escape death? These should be things that he can't "settle". According to the laws of the dynasty, adultery was a capital offense. Within a few days of Pei Wenjing's death, the news spread in the imperial court that his concubine and the man had both been stabbed to death. This can be regarded as Li Yuan's nostalgia for the old love, and he ended the matter resolutely, breathed a bad breath for Pei Wenjing, and slightly maintained his dignity as a man.

Gao Junming's eyeliner naturally refused to let go of Pei Wenjing's burial.

"Is it buried? They didn't suspect anything, did they? Gao Junming asked eyeliner.

"It's buried, and the subordinates can see it clearly. The people have already been buried, and there must be no doubt. Eyeliner replied.

Pei Wenjing is the right servant of Shangshu, Li Shimin's henchmen have the highest official rank, and he has contributed to the Tang Dynasty Sheji and won the trust of his father. It is indeed a troublesome thing for this kind of person to disagree with us. This went back to a piece of my heart. Li Jiancheng enjoyed the joy after the victory.

"With the wisdom and martial arts of His Royal Highness the Prince, great things can be expected!" Gao Junming flattered on the side.

Li Jiancheng turned his head to look at Gao Junming, and said: "This eradication of Pei Wenjing, Master Gao has made great contributions, if the great cause of this king is achieved in the future, Lord Gao will definitely be the first hero." ”

"The promotion and trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are inscribed within the five subordinates. Originally, King Qin's power was growing stronger day by day, but now one of his powerful forces has been uprooted. But for now, we can't take it lightly. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded in agreement, and then said, "You talk about it." ”

"Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has been fighting for many years, and he is used to being the generalissimo who charges into battle, and has accumulated a certain range of contacts. Although he has eliminated his henchmen, there are still people under his banner who have a lot of power. For example, in addition to Li Zhenghang, the other five Shangshu are all following King Qin, this time Pei Wenjing's matter, fortunately, the first strike is stronger, if it is really verified by the Criminal Department, I don't know what year and month it will be found. There are many long nights and dreams, and it is unknown whether Pei Wenjing can escape. ”

"You're right." Li Jiancheng nodded.

Gao Junming continued: "There is also a single criminal department is not simple, although the eldest grandson Wuji is not a high rank, but he and the King of Qin are friends of cloth and clothes, and they have in-laws. He is also the person who gives advice to King Qin, and this person should not be underestimated. There is also the strategist Du Ruhui, who is even more powerful, and as soon as Pei Wenjing dies, this person is likely to become the new favorite of King Qin. There is also Lord Jingzhao Mu Yang, even if he did not make a clear statement, he was still in a wait-and-see state, and his official residence was from the second rank, and his official position was quite high, and he had a close relationship with the Qin Wangfu. What's more, King Qin also has a series of generals such as Cheng Biting Jin under his account. ”

"The analysis is correct, Master Gao is really insightful about the world." Li Jiancheng praised again and again.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have won the award, and your subordinates still have something to say."

"Well, you say."

"Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, commanded the south of the Yangtze River, although he did not follow any prince, but his power is needless to say, the most terrifying thing is that he and the two in the court can form a three-legged momentum."

"In the crusade against Western Qin, my father appointed Li Shimin as the marshal. Li Shimin asked Li Zhenghang to be the deputy general, the meaning of enveloping, Sima Zhao's heart - everyone knows it. A trace of worry flashed in Li Jiancheng's eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to be overly worried. Li Zhenghang's subordinates know him very well, and he is by no means a person who sees the wind and steers the rudder. ”

Li Zhenghang's personality, Li Jiancheng also has a little understanding, and it is indeed not so easy to follow. Hearing Gao Junming say this, the stone in his heart was put down for a long time.

Gao Junming left the prince's mansion and returned to the mansion. In fact, when he said that, he was also worried that Li Zhenghang would rebel, after all, Li Shimin was heroic and talented. Gao Junming was thinking about it, and suddenly saw his son Gao Ziang dancing the sword in the courtyard, and the four-year-old boy Ang was still dancing with a sword. He is a military general, and the successor naturally cannot lack the demeanor of a military general, Ziang will also study hard when the time comes, so it is better to let him follow Li Zhenghang to the battlefield to experience and experience this time.

When the boy saw Gao Junming, he greeted him and shouted: "Father, father......"

"Hey, our family is practicing swords!" Gao Junming stroked Ziang's head and said.

"I'll show my father again to see if I'm improving?" After saying that, he danced in the courtyard again.

After the dance, Gao Junming praised repeatedly. Greeted the boy Ziang: "Ziang, go to Uncle Li's house with your father, okay?" ”

"Yes, yes." You can play with Sister Wanning again, Ziang clapped happily.

The dignified Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department has been quiet recently, and Li Zhengkong is playing with his two daughters in the back garden and enjoying the joy of family. Even this expedition appointment, he didn't seem to take it to heart. Gao Junming's visit shattered this tranquility.

Gao Junming was invited to the main hall to speak.

"Brother Li's house is really like a paradise, and there is no sense of chaos."

"Lord Gao laughed, how could it be? The world is divided, where can I be a courtier to enjoy the Peach Blossom Spring! Isn't this the last joy before the expedition? Li Zhenghang was afraid that Gao Junming would be too careful, so he quickly explained. I don't know what Lord Gao's trip is? ”

"This official came to the house to ask for something. The emperor appointed Brother Li as a deputy general, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Brother Li, and this official wants to ask Master Li to take his children to the battlefield to experience and experience, and to have a long insight. ”

After Li Zhenghang heard this, he hurriedly excused himself: "How can you do this, Lord Gao!" The battlefield is by no means a drama garden, every step is thrilling. Ziang is your only son, in case he has three longs and two shorts, how can I explain to you? How will you and Mrs. Gao spend your years in the future? This will not work! Absolutely not! ”

Li Zhenghang's reaction was expected by Gao Junming, and he was not worried about Ziang's safety. "This official doesn't believe that with Brother Li's ingenuity, he won't be able to see Li Shimin's intent? In this way, Lord Li is not worried about the prince's thoughts? ”

Li Zhenghang didn't speak for a long time, thinking about what Gao Junming said, he had to agree: "What Lord Gao reminded is that his subordinates are not thoughtful. However, the biggest problem is Reiko's safety. If you really start a war, I am afraid that you will not be able to be distracted to protect him. ”

"This expedition to Western Qin is a battle to defend the city, not a siege, and this official believes that Lord Li can protect Ziang."

Although Li Zhenghang and Gao Ziang are world friends, Li Zhenghang has never found out that Gao Junming actually wants to be in front of him in everything! "What Master Gao said is very true."

Four-year-old Li Wanning heard the sound and said to Li Zhenghang: "Father is going to go on the expedition, and Wanning is also going!" ”

"Nonsense!" Wanning's proposal was immediately rejected by Li Zhenghang, "What kind of battlefield is the little girl's family on!" ”

Accompanied by Li Zhenghang's stern reprimand, Wan Ning saw that her father was so resolute, so she "hummed" and went back to the room with a pout.
