The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Li Shimin rewarded the people who participated in the Xuanwumen Revolution in the Wu Dynasty, but everyone had their own little abacus in their hearts, and began to compare the merits for a little benefit, but who knew that Chu Mofeng quoted the allusions in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period: Go to Private", and solved the matter with a series of eliminations, and then Li Shimin took advantage of the Yizhou incident mentioned by Chu Mofeng, and prepared to start a thorough investigation of the officials under his rule.

After the end of the Wu Dynasty, Li Shimin asked Wang De to bring Chu Mofeng to the imperial study, thinking that it was a pair of monarchs and ministers, but who knew that it was to evaluate the prince and select the prince, and for the candidate of the prince's teacher, Chu Mofeng seemed to have already thought about it, and according to the list of eighteen bachelors of Tiance Mansion provided by Li Shimin, he selected four masters for the prospective prince Li Chengqian.

In the face of the Turks outside the northern lands, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng were worried that the Tang Dynasty would not have any more internal worries, but at this time, a carriage from the direction of Yizhou was speeding on the official road.

Subsequently, the imperial court issued an edict to canonize Li Chengqian, the king of Zhongshan, as the crown prince, and to entitle Chu Xuanhuang, the son of King Xian, as the prince's companion, and the Xianwang Mansion sent the two county lords away from the Xianwang Mansion in the same month, while Chu Mengzhu, who was a small county lord, stayed in the mansion and was taught by Shi Hanshuang and Li Yuhu.

The next day, in the Dongshi wine shop, Shi Hanshuang and Li Yuhu sat in a single room on the second floor, looking at the two women in front of them who were shaking their heads and scratching their heads, and they were overwhelmed by the country and the city, and smiled slightly, but this smile made Mishana and Zitong on the opposite side even more cramped and uneasy.

Seeing the eldest princess and the side princess of the Xian Wang's Mansion coming to the door, the two of them suddenly had a feeling of being caught, and they lowered their heads as soon as they entered the door and did not dare to face Shi Hanshuang and the others. Shi Hanshuang, who has been wandering outside since childhood, empathizes with the situation of the two women in front of him, while Li Yuhu, who grew up in an official family since childhood, looked at the two with a puzzled face, as if he wanted to find out something strange from the two.

The four women who were all all overwhelmed sat in the house without saying a word, and suddenly the air in the room began to stagnate, and after a long time, it seemed that they couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere, and the young and vigorous Zitong immediately gave a salute to the two. "I wonder why the two princesses are here today?"

"This should be Sister Zitong, sister don't panic, Feng'er and I came here today, just to see the two of you, and there is no other malicious intent. Looking at the twenty-eight beautiful woman in front of her, Shi Hanshuang seemed to see the shadow of herself back then, and then smiled and said: "I have always heard His Highness mention the two of you, but I have never seen it, but when I see it today, I am really gentle and lovely, and I can't help Your Highness to fall in love with it." ”

Hearing this, Mishana's old face on the side turned red, and she thought to herself that the eldest wife and the third wife had come to the door, and the second, fourth, and little wives would all come in a while, right? If all these five were present, once they were all powerful, wouldn't they even have to lift this wine shop?

Thinking of this, Mishana stood up and saluted Shi Hanshuang and Li Yuhu and said: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Her Royal Highness the side princess, if there is anything today, you might as well ask the two of you to say it directly, the little woman is a person from the Western Regions, and she is used to going straight, so you make the little woman a little panicked." After saying this, Mizanna pondered to herself, well, yes, it was called panic, I didn't say the wrong word he taught.

Listening to Mi Shanna's Chinese words mixed with the accent of the Western Regions, Shi Hanshuang and Li Yuhu snorted and laughed, and Zitong on the other side was a Tang Dynasty, of course, he knew that as a woman, it was a waste of etiquette to be entangled with a married husband, and besides, this married husband is still a virtuous king admired by thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty today, and ordinary people still have to make a fuss, not to mention Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Thinking of this, Zitong immediately said to Shi Hanshuang and Li Yuhu: "Your Royal Highness the two princesses, I implore you not to blame Your Royal Highness King Xian for this matter, it is the little woman Tian who shamelessly follows King Xian here, and tomorrow the little woman will leave on her own, and she will no longer have any thoughts about His Royal Highness King Xian in this life, and I hope that the two princesses can be magnanimous and let go of Sister Mishanna, she is also a hard-working person." ”

Who knew that Mishana on the side also said to Shi Hanshuang and Li Yuhu when she heard this: "Two, Mishana is grateful to Gongzi Chu for rescuing her and volunteering to dedicate herself to Gongzi Chu, if you have any complaints, Mishana will also pack her bags and return to Qiuzi tomorrow, and she will definitely not cause trouble to Gongzi Chu." ”

Hearing that the two of them were mistaken by the other party for the jealous women who came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, Shi Hanshuang and Li Yuhu's faces immediately changed, and then they looked at each other helplessly and smiled, and then Li Yuhu coughed lightly and said: "Did the two girls misunderstand, my sister and I didn't come here today to ask for guilt, if we drive the two of you away, His Royal Highness in the house will have to show us every day, such a thankless thing, who is willing to do it?"

Li Yuhu said here, Shi Hanshuang stood up and walked around in the single room, and as soon as Li Yuhu's voice fell, he immediately sighed and said: "The two sisters don't have to misunderstand, this princess and the side princess have also suffered and suffered, and they also know that in the troubled times, it is not easy to meet someone who treats you sincerely, this time I came to ask the two sisters, the people here are complicated and the safety cannot be guaranteed, are the two sisters willing to move to the Xianwang Mansion to live?"

What? Didn't I hear it wrong? These two want to take me and Zitong to live in the Xianwang Mansion? No, no, no, probably because my Chinese language is not good, maybe I heard it wrong? Mishana glanced at Zitong with a puzzled face when she heard this, only to see Zitong nodding vigorously, which means that sister, you heard it correctly, and your understanding of Chinese is very clear. got the answer from Zitong's eyes, and for a while Mizana was a little hesitant......

Five days later, the original plain carriage of Yizhou Carriage and Horse Company drove into Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Guo Xingfang was still in shock when he remembered the thrilling encounters along the way.

Guo Xingfang and Wei Yunqi, who are the Shangshu of Xingtai, have always been at odds with Dou Rail, because Dou Rail is a murderous person, and they want to use their nephew as a confidant when Dou Rail entered Shu to take office. Late one night, when Dou Rail was about to go out, he summoned his nephew, but for some reason this son did not come on time, and Dou Rail beheaded him in a fit of rage.

Dou Rail also warned domestic slaves not to go out, and once Dou Rail sent a domestic slave to the official kitchen to get pulp and immediately repented. Then Dou Liang actually said to the house slave: "I warned you, and now I have to use your head to affirm the decree." He ordered the subordinate to arrest and behead the house slave, and before the execution, the house slave shouted that he was wronged, and the official in charge of the prison hesitated and did not execute on time.

Zhao Hongan was a celebrity at that time, and Dou Liang whipped him at every turn, and he was whipped hundreds of times in a year.

And Dou Rail will govern the army for the governance of the state capital, but I don't know that the people are not soldiers, Dou Rail's means can be called extremely cruel, there was a period of time, Yizhou law field was drenched in blood all day long, and the people lived in panic, until the emperor Li Yuan received a secret report, recalled Dou Rail to be imprisoned for a long time, I thought that after this person returned to Yizhou again, he could be restrained because of the imprisonment, who knew that this person not only did not repent, but intensified.

At that time, Wei Yunqi and Guo Xingfang, the two of Xingtai Shangshu, were very disdainful of Dou Rail, but because of their status as relatives of the emperor, even if they sued the emperor again, they could not be transferred away, and at that time, the prince was strong and the king of Qin was weak, according to the custom, the prince would definitely make friends with one or two state officials in case of emergency, and Wei Yunqi and Guo Xingfang only received a little favor from the prince, and did not participate in the prince's various actions.

After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he ordered that it was strictly forbidden to hold Yuan Jiancheng and Yuanji's comrades accountable, which made the frightened Wei Yunqi and Guo Xingfang see a glimmer of hope, who knew that in order to drive away the two to monopolize Yizhou, Dou Rail actually wanted to arrest Wei Yunqi and Guo Xingfang, but Guo Xingfang saw through the plan, Guo Xingfang fled from Yizhou, and Wei Yunqi was captured by Dou Rail and was not spared.

Speaking of Wei Yunqi, Chu Mofeng also knows a little about this person, this person was originally a minister of the Sui Dynasty, and in the early years of the Great Cause, he went to the Turks alone and borrowed 20,000 cavalry from the Qimin Khan to break the Khitan army.

Then he was praised by Emperor Yang of Sui, and he was degraded to Dali Sizhi because of the impeachment of Yu Shiji, the servant of the internal history, and Pei Yun, the imperial historian, and Emperor Yang of Sui was strongly discouraged before preparing to travel to the capital of Xingjiang. After Li Yuan entered Chang'an, he was awarded the title of Yang Cheng County Duke of Nongqing. In the early years of Wude, he worshiped the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, sentenced to the farm supervisor, and served as the governor of Suizhou and the secretary of the military department of Yizhou Daxingtai.

Chu Mofeng knew about this person because of what this person did in resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, and secondly because Wei Yunqi had an unknown secret, this person was also from the Eastern Route Army back then, and he was considered Gao Xi's subordinate.

The carriage stopped tremblingly at the door of the Chang'an carriage and horse shop, only to see the handlebar jump off the carriage and gently knock on the carriage board, "Guest officer, Chang'an City has arrived, next time you will give the villain Wanguan, and the villain will not dare to take your job." With that, he limped towards the inside of the carriage and horse shop.

After a while, just as Guo Xingfang was about to get out of the car, the carriage that had stopped for a long time suddenly moved slowly, Guo Xingfang thought that he had been kidnapped, and immediately lifted the curtain and was about to scold, but the person who was driving the car outside suddenly whispered: "Lord Guo, please sit down, the villain will lead you to see our Royal Highness King Xian, and you can tell His Royal Highness King Xian about anything." ”

As soon as he heard the words 'His Royal Highness King Xian', Guo Xingfang's originally hanging heart suddenly fell, and he immediately lowered the curtain and sat in the carriage slowly, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that as long as he could see His Royal Highness King Xian and tell all the causes and consequences of the incident, he would have no regrets even if he died.

The carriage slowly drove into the Yining Fang, the wheels pressed on the bluestone slab and splashed a slight bump, after a long journey, the carriage suddenly stopped slowly, only to hear the people outside whisper: "Lord Guo, this is the Xianwang Mansion, you can rest assured to get off, the entire Tang Dynasty is the safest place except for His Majesty's Palace." ”

Hearing this, Guo Xingfang hurriedly got out of the carriage, gave a salute to the charioteer, and then tightened the things in his arms, and walked straight to the gate, who knew that he was about to knock on the door, but was stopped by two guards at the door, one of them saw that the person who came was in rags, thought it was a person in distress, and immediately took out a hanging of money and whispered: "This is the mansion of the virtuous king, if your Excellency is here to ask for money, you can take it for use first, and it will not be too late to pay it back when there is spare money in the future." ”

Seeing that the guards of the palace were so polite to outsiders, Guo Xingfang was quite moved in his heart, and then took out a small cloth bag from his arms and stuffed it into this person's hand, "This official brother, please do well, report for me, and ask to see His Royal Highness King Xian if I have something important to do." ”

As soon as he saw that the other party handed him a small cloth bag, the guard immediately pushed Guo Xingfang's hand as if he had seen something terrible, and then said with some disgust: "You person, whether you want to report or sue, just say it directly, this is the mansion of King Xian, we are not allowed to accept property, you should quickly put it away, so as not to harm me." ”

Guo Xingfang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, he saw the porter and the guard who wanted to seal the package, and the first time he saw that he didn't accept the package, he immediately nodded and said to the guard: "I'm from Yizhou, I'm not familiar with the rules of the capital, and I hope that the official brother won't blame him, please pass it on for me." ”

Seeing this, the guard nodded, and then went straight into King Xian's mansion, and after a while, he hurriedly ran out and said to Guo Xingfang: "Please come in, His Royal Highness King Xian is waiting in the main hall." ”

Hearing this, Guo Xingfang hurriedly ran towards the house, under the guidance of a servant, Guo Xingfang saw Chu Mofeng in the main hall of King Xian's mansion, and after seeing Chu Mofeng, Guo Xingfang immediately knelt down and said: "Xiaguan Yizhou Xingtai Shangshu Guo Xingfang visits His Royal Highness King Xian. ”

"Yizhou Xingtai Shangshu?" Hearing that the other party was from Yizhou, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but be a little surprised, if the local officials were not summoned, they were not allowed to leave their posts without permission, this person came here at this moment, could it be that something happened, thinking of this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly motioned for Guo Xingfang to get up, "Since you are an official from Yizhou, why didn't you come to the capital after being summoned?"

As soon as he saw Chu Mofeng mention Wei Yunqi, Guo Xingfang immediately cried bitterly, "His Royal Highness King Qiqi, Lord Wei, he has already been killed?"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Mo jumped up from the chair, for these old people who had a relationship with his father, Chu Mo paid extra attention to it, after all, since Gao Xi was killed, his image of his father was pieced together little by little through these old people and his brother, sister and mother, so this also made Chu Mofeng subconsciously treat these old people as relatives, at this time, when he heard that Wei Yunqi was killed, he was immediately angry, and looked at Guo Xingfang coldly and said: "Lord Wei has always been good friends with this king, why was he killed for no reason?" Could it be that there is some incurable disease?"

Seeing this, Guo Xingfang hurriedly told the whole story of the matter, and with Guo Xingfang's narration, Chu Mofeng's face gradually became iron-blue, and after Guo Xingfang finished speaking, Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand and slammed the table and scolded: "Does this Dou Rail dare to resist and disobey the decree just because he is a relative of the emperor?"

"Your Royal Highness, not only that, but the Yizhou area has long been full of complaints about this person, but because this person is a relative of the emperor, everyone from the officials to the people dare not speak out. Seeing this, Guo Xingfang took out a cloth bag from his arms and respectfully handed it to Chu Mofeng, "In addition, the local fangs have been forced by them to gradually rebel, and the lower officials are afraid that once the fangs resist a little after a long time, then Dou Liang will definitely write to the imperial court to say that they are rebelling, and then His Majesty will be thundered and angry, then the fangs in the Yizhou area may be slaughtered, and the lower officials are afraid that the southwest departments will lose confidence in the imperial court, and then they will ......"

"At that time, the Turkic dog cub will come again, if there are people with dissenting intentions in the southwest, just a little provocation, Datang will be in an instant with internal and external troubles, and then Datang will not be far from the country. Before Guo Xingfang's words were finished, Chu Mofeng had already taken over his words and continued, and then Chu Mofeng scolded angrily: "By then, the country will be destroyed, who will care about him Dou Rail, this thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs is really in vain The Emperor and His Majesty's ardent expectations for him." ”

"Your Highness's analysis is the Tao, and I implore Your Highness to save the people of Yizhou and the southwest. Seeing this, Guo Xingfang immediately knelt down in front of Chu Mofeng, thinking that this virtuous king should be the master of distinguishing between right and wrong, and it seems that he has found the right person this time.

I saw Chu Mofeng smile sadly and said: "You get up, wait for this king to prepare, and you will follow this king into the palace to meet Your Majesty, and then you can tell Your Majesty what Fang Cai said word for word." Seeing this, Guo Xingfang nodded, and then watched Chu Mofeng walk out of the main hall, and after a while, he saw Chu Mofeng change into his regular clothes and walk in, and said to Guo Xingfang: "Take your things and go with this king." ”

The two walked straight to the door, and as soon as they walked to the gate, they saw a long line of carriages slowly stopping outside the door of the mansion, Chu Mofeng frowned when he saw this, thinking that whose carriage was so arrogant that he dared to stop at the door of his mansion, and immediately prepared to come forward to ask, but before he could speak, he saw four women coming down from the first carriage, the first two were his own princess Shi Hanshuang and the side princess Li Yuhu, and the latter two were Mizana and Zitong from the wine shop.

Looking at the figures of the four people, Chu Mofeng thought to himself when did these four get together? Could it be that Chengfeng took Shuang'er to meet Mishanna and them? Thinking that Chu Mofeng was about to slip away from the side, who knew that he was seen by the sharp-eyed Li Yuhu, and immediately shouted loudly: "Husband, husband, look at who the concubine and Sister Shuang'er brought back?"

What is this? The lady of the main room brought back the outer room? Is she going to let the outer room take the upper position? Or is she going to come back to ask the teacher for sin? If you are asking for sin, why do you have to drive a long series of carriages? And Li Yuhu's next words completely broke Chu Mofeng's doubts, "Go quickly, move all the luggage of the two girls and all the things buried from the East Market." ”

Then Shi Hanshuang walked up to Chu Mofeng, saluted him and said, "Your Highness, the concubine and Sister Feng'er are in charge in private, and take the two girls back to the mansion to live, Your Highness, you won't blame the concubine for not reporting it first, right?"

"How can it be, all the big and small affairs in the mansion have been handled by you all these years, and Feng'er is a princess and a person who understands the general situation, how can this king blame you. After listening to Shi Hanshuang's words, Chu Mofeng smiled helplessly, "You two are busy for the time being, this king has something to enter the palace to face the saint, and we will talk about it in detail after returning to the house." After speaking, he hurriedly took Guo Xingfang into the carriage and walked towards the palace.

Li Shimin was in a good mood today, and there was a war report from the north in the early dynasty, saying that a small group of Turks came to invade and were defeated by the defenders of the state capital, and after the next dynasty, Li Shimin went to the East Palace, observed the study of the prince Li Chengqian and his companion Chu Xuanhuang, and then returned to the imperial study to start reviewing the folds, and when he was reviewing the boring and preparing to call Wang De to serve tea, he only heard Wang De's voice outside the door, "See His Royal Highness King Xian, Your Majesty is reviewing the folds inside at the moment." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door opened, and I saw Chu Mofeng leading a man in, Li Shimin saw this and put aside the fold in his hand, looked at the two of them with interest, and then waved his hand to Wang De outside the door, signaling him to close the door, and then smiled at Chu Mofeng, "Why is the imperial brother so idle to enter the palace to see me today?"

I saw Chu Mofeng say without a smile: "Your Majesty, my brother has brought someone to see you, and it is better to let him talk about some things." Then he pulled Guo Xingfang behind him over.

The first time he saw the new monarch, Guo Xingfang couldn't help but feel a little afraid, but there was no ambiguity in the etiquette, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Chen Yizhou Xingtai Shangshu Guo Xingfang See Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty a healthy dragon and a prosperous Tang Dynasty." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he pointed at Guo Xingfang and said to Chu Mofeng: "Listen, you listen to what people said when they face the saint, look at you again, which time didn't you go straight in, and didn't even say a nice word to me." ”

"Your Majesty, let's not discuss this matter for the time being, after you listen to Lord Guo's affairs, it is estimated that you will put other things aside. Chu Mofeng thought to himself, is the eldest brother concerned about those etiquette at this time? It is estimated that after listening to the other party's words for a while, you are not even ready to ask for the number of etiquette, thinking of this, Chu Mofeng motioned to Guo Xingfang to continue.

After Guo Xingfang saw this, Li Shimin immediately threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and then said angrily: "Dou Rail, this son is really a great crime, I and His Royal Highness King Xian have been working hard all day long, trying every means to win back the hearts of the people, who knows that after being manipulated by this power for so many years, I estimate that the people in Yizhou have long been disheartened by the court." ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin turned to Chu Mofeng and said: "Go, give me an investigation, a thorough investigation, find out that the assassin killed the assassin history, find out that Shangshu killed Shangshu, if you find any minister in the capital, you don't need to go to the top to arrest people directly, I grant you the privilege, just like back then, as you did back then, you will go to the southwestern state capitals to inspect as a minister, find a way to remedy it as much as possible, and save the reputation of the imperial court, understand?"

"The younger brother will obey His Majesty's will and will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust. Hearing Li Shimin say this, Chu Mofeng knew that he was going on a business trip again, and now he was cursing Dou Rail in Yizhou.

On the second day, the imperial court issued an order, and Chu Mofeng, the king of Qinfengxian, was the minister of the Qin mission to patrol the heavens on behalf of the minister, and went to various places in the southwest to observe the people's conditions.

At the beginning of the third day, under the send-off of everyone in the Xianwang Mansion, Chu Mofeng still followed the original method, and personally led the other side flower team to leave Chang'an first, and then the Qincha guards slowly walked towards the Mingde Gate......

As the saying goes, the difficulty of Shu Road is more difficult than going to the blue sky, and watching Chu Mofeng travel to the southwest border, and then watching the governors of the state governments to serve the Qincha, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
