The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Li Shimin, under the persuasion of Chen Shuda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Sun Wuji, the eldest son of the Bibu Shilang, and Chu Mofeng, finally decided to start fighting back against the open guns and hidden arrows from Li Jiancheng, and for a while, everyone's confidence was greatly increased.

Who knew that not long after Li Shimin returned to the Chengqian Palace, he was summoned to the imperial study by Li Yuan, and was imprisoned after some reprimand, and then Li Yuan, who followed Wang De's advice, quickly summoned Chu Mofeng into the palace for questioning.

In order to completely dispel Li Yuan's doubts, Chu Mofeng promised to get involved in the inner treasury of two million yuan, and undertook the supply of ordnance in the capital camp, which made Li Yuan, who had been worried about silver money for several days, excited.

Then Li Shimin was released, and the two left Taiji Palace, learning that Chu Mofeng paid such a big price in exchange for his own safety, which moved Li Shimin, but the question in front of the two was who spread the matter of Zhang Da. Immediately, the two decided to go their separate ways to investigate the spy hidden in the Tiance Mansion.

In the study room of the Night King's Mansion, Chu Mofeng was listing the names of all the officials of the Tiance Mansion on a piece of paper, and screening them one by one, when suddenly the air in the room stagnated, and then Chu Mofeng threw away the pen in his hand and said to himself: "Have you found anything recently?"

"Lord Qiqi, there is a very interesting matter, maybe the prince will be interested. I heard a muffled voice in the air.

Picking up the teacup on the table, Chu Mofeng did not speak, and then the voice continued: "The subordinates have found out that the crown prince, King Qi and Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin Defei of the harem have committed adultery, and it has been a long time, and the subordinates have not paid too much attention to it before, and today His Royal Highness the King of Qin was suddenly detained, and the subordinates only investigated it, and His Majesty did not know about it." ”

"Got it, you should be more careful over there, remember my words, news is secondary, and your life is what I care about most. Chu Mofeng nodded when he heard this, and then said, "Is there any recent movement on Hou Junji's side?"

"Since the prince returned to Beijing one step ahead of you, this person frequently went in and out of the East Palace and the palace of King Qi after the prince returned to Beijing. A lot of the news of Tiance Mansion was revealed to the crown prince by him. I heard the voice pause for a moment, and then said with a little hesitation: "Do you need your subordinates to secretly get rid of this person?"

"No, it's not the time yet, I'll let you know in advance when it's time to do it, and you must do it cleanly then. Chu Mofeng slowly shook his head and said: "After King Qin ascends the throne in the future, you will turn to the bright face and return to my command, the Longcheng army lacks a real commander, although Zhao Xin and the four of them are brave and loyal, but they still do not think about it comprehensively, our goal is in the north, when we defeat that group of people, our task will be over." ”

"The subordinates understood and hoped that His Highness would also pay more attention to his own safety, and the subordinates retired. As soon as the words fell, there was no sound in the room.

Looking at the list of people in front of him, Chu Mofeng picked up the pen and drew a circle on Hou Junji's name, and said with a sneer: "Hou Junji, what an interesting person. ”

On the morning of the second day, Li Yuan praised Chu Mofeng suddenly in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, which made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military uncertain, and then Li Yuan asked with a smile: "Does King Zhangye have something to report today?"

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng muttered to himself in his heart: This old gentleman, there is no need to be so anxious if you want money, and you don't mean that you won't give it. Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng took out a recital from his arms, flashed out of the queue, knelt down slowly, raised his hands above his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do, I hope Your Majesty will give instructions after reading it." ”

Seeing this, Li Yuan motioned to Wang De to take the fold, slowly opened it and took a look, only to see that there were two bills of one million yuan in the Chang'an Mansion store, and then Li Yuan put the fold aside, and said with a smile: "Everyone, Aiqing, the king of Zhangye promised to provide the ordnance supply of the capital camp that year, I don't know what you think? ”

Listening to Li Yuan's words, the generals present couldn't help but gasp, thinking to themselves what kind of stimulus did this master get today? The annual supply of ordnance in the Chang'an camp can be exchanged for money to fill the treasury three times out of ten, and this money can't be so neat, right?

Seeing that the ministers did not speak, Chu Mofeng said aloud: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to ask, can you change the title and name of the minister, this is too embarrassing." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing, and said slowly: "In that case, let's discuss it together." ”

I saw Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, flashing out and arching his hand to Li Yuan and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Zhangye's move can be called a pillar of the country, and it coincides with the lack of surplus in the imperial court in recent times, and His Royal Highness King Zhangye's move can be said to be a solution to an urgent need." ”

Who knew that Wei Zheng suddenly flashed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Zhangye's move is quite inappropriate, how can the ordnance of the imperial court be supplied by private individuals, and the soldiers will think that they have become King Zhangye's private army." ”

Wei Zheng's words can be described as heart-wrenching, as soon as these words came out, Li Shimin and his faction were furious, only to see Sun Wuji, the eldest servant of the Bibu Division, come out and bow his hand to Li Yuan and say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wei Xianma's words are quite inappropriate, how can His Royal Highness King Zhangye's kindness be so criticized?" Then he turned to Wei Zheng and said: "Dare to ask Wei Xianma, if Your Majesty rejects the request of His Royal Highness King Zhangye, then can the armaments of the battalions of the Beijing Division be exempted this year? Or do you Wei Xian Ma hope that the Jingshi will fall? At that time, you can ask your new master for merit and reward, and then become an official and a half-job?"

If you talk about scaring people, the most admired thing by Chu Mofeng in the entire Tang Dynasty is the eldest grandson Wuji, this person is really as taboo as his own name, he dares to say anything, anyone dares to scare, and even Li Yuan is sometimes unwilling to defend with him.

Listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Qu Tutong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, came out and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, the old minister used to go out with His Royal Highness King Zhangye in the early years, when the Tiance Army under the command of King Zhangye, the whole body of the ordnance was privately built by His Royal Highness, and the quality was stronger than the standard ordnance of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Then Yang Gongren, who was then the secretary of the ministry and the order of the middle book, flashed out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Qu Shangshu's statement, I think that there was not much left in the household department at the beginning, but it was His Royal Highness who was still the Duke of Qi Guogong who donated one million yuan of silver to fill the Duke of Guogong, which alleviated the crisis of my Datang, and now His Royal Highness donated to Datang again, how can it be said that he has bad intentions?" After speaking, he glanced at Wei Zheng angrily.

Listening to the words of the ministers, Li Yuan quietly stuffed the two palace bills into his arms, and said with a straight face: "At this time, I have made up my mind, and I will allow King Zhangye to supply the armaments of the Jingshi camp for one year, and when the imperial treasury is eased next year, the imperial court will take back the supply right." ”

Seeing that the big boss had spoken, all the ministers spoke one after another: "Your Majesty Shengming. ”

Who knew that Li Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say it first, about this kid's title, what is more appropriate for you to discuss?"

When it comes to etiquette, it is the category of Chen Shuda, the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, and I saw Chen Shuda walking out with his chest in his chest, and said to Li Yuan: " Your Majesty, the old minister thought that the king of Zhangye since the date of Longxing, repeatedly rushed to the front, and the war achievements were impressive, and made a lot of meritorious contributions for the Tang Dynasty, and since His Royal Highness King Zhangye was named the earl of Dingyang, often concerned about the people to do good deeds, and then single-handedly created the Tiance Academy, so that the children of those soldiers who fought for the Tang Dynasty have a place to study and serve the court, and every year around the capital to set up workshops, every year to set up porridge sheds, in order to settle the displaced people to help the victims, the princess Mo's benevolence medical hall, perennial at a price below the market to supply medicinal materials, the old minister heard that most of them are given away for free, all kinds of measures show, His Royal Highness King Zhangye is worthy of a virtuous word, so the old minister proposed to change his title to King Xian, and asked His Majesty to agree. ”

As soon as Chen Shuda's remarks came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the court, and most of the ministers immediately knelt on the ground and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, what Chen Shangshu said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it. ”

Wei Zheng on the side looked at the kneeling people with a look of disdain, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this move is inappropriate, and there is only His Majesty who can be worthy of a virtuous character in the world.

After listening to Wei Zheng's words, everyone who came out to seconded the proposal was as disgusted as if they had eaten a fly, thinking that they all knew that you Wei Zheng was the prince's person, but you didn't have to come out and oppose a few words as long as it was related to the Qin Wang faction, right?

Everyone was about to refute it, but Fu Yi, the chief eunuch of Taishi who had never expressed his opinion, flashed out and said: "Your Majesty, there is something to play in the minister, which may be related to the current matter. ”

As soon as he saw Fu Yi come out to speak, Li Yuan couldn't help but say with some curiosity: "What did Fu Zhengjian do?"

I saw Fu Yi glanced at Wei Zheng, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Taishi Eunuch has been observing the sky at night in recent days, and found that the Doumu Hedgehog in the Seven Nights in the north has appeared frequently, indicating that there are virtuous people in the Tang Dynasty.

After speaking, he turned to Chu Mofeng and said, "Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Zhangye's birthday." ”

"January 24, the twentieth year of the opening of the emperor's calendar in the previous dynasty, I don't know what Fu Zhengjian is asking about this?" Chu Mofeng reported his birthday without thinking about it, who knew that many ministers present had it in mind, and they were ready to go back to see if there was a suitable age woman in their house.

I saw that Fu Yi was stunned at first, and then said to Li Yuan excitedly: "Your Majesty is overjoyed, His Royal Highness King Zhangye's birthday is exactly the same as recorded in the ancient books. ”

As soon as Fu Yi's voice fell, Wei Zheng said again: "Dare to ask Fu Zhengjian, if His Royal Highness King Zhangye changes his name to Xian, what about Your Majesty?"

But I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly got up and pointed at Wei Zheng and said: "Wei Xian Ma, this official doesn't know why you have repeatedly obstructed His Majesty from entering His Royal Highness King Zhangye, could it be that someone is suggesting that you are making a lot of nonsense in the court? Didn't you ask what Your Majesty should do after King Zhangye changed his name to Xian? This question this official tells you, Your Majesty is a virtuous king, King Zhangye is a virtuous king, and the kings complement each other, so that the Tang Dynasty can prosper for a long time, can you say that you deliberately obstruct it, do you not want the Tang Dynasty to prosper for a long time?"

Listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but get up and cheer for him, and after a while, he had to ask Mishana what kind of beautiful girl she sent to his mansion?

The matter involved Li Yuan's rule, which immediately aroused Li Yuan's interest, only to see Li Yuan snort coldly and said: "Wei Xian Ma, I also think that you are a little untrue today, pass on my oracle, change the title of Zhangye King Chu Mofeng as the virtuous king, lead the prince of the East Palace Xian Ma Wei Zheng, act Meng Lang, fine him for one year, and order the prince to go back and teach strictly, if you commit it again, you will be dismissed from all official positions and never hired, and you will retire from the dynasty." ”

Thinking of the two million guan in his arms, Li Yuan hurriedly agreed to Chu Mofeng's request, and then quickly returned to the apse to recruit fifty forbidden soldiers, and went to Chang'an Mansion under the leadership of Wang De to collect money. With the two million Guan filling into the inner treasury, Li Yuan suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, and he appreciated Chu Mofeng even more.

Li Jiancheng, who had lost another time in the court, returned to the East Palace angrily, and as soon as he entered the door, he scolded: "Why? Why did you give him the title of King Xian?"

Then Li Jiancheng pointed at Wei Zheng and scolded: "You are also a waste, this prince asked you to block them in the court from time to time, not to block you unreasonably, although a broken number does not mean anything, but you don't look at it, in the scene at that time, among the six Shangshu, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry have already expressed their attitudes, as for the Ministry of War, it is to Chu Mofeng, and the Criminal Department is also biased to that side because it often cooperates with Jing Zhaoyin, in this case, you still have to refute it, I think you are really a little vicious." ”

Seeing that Wei Zheng was standing aside and not saying a word, Li Jiancheng pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "You speak, aren't you very good at speaking in the court? What's wrong now? I can't say it?"

As soon as Li Jiancheng's voice fell, a hoarse voice came from behind him and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you want Wei Xian Ma to say?" Li Jiancheng turned his head and was about to get angry, when he saw his younger brother, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, walking in, and said with a smile: "Wei Xian Ma was in the court just now, but he fought for His Royal Highness the Prince, and his younger brother thought that Wei Xian Ma was not only innocent but meritorious, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reprimand him." ”

After speaking, Li Yuanji took out a pair of jade ruyi from his arms and stuffed them into Wei Zheng's hands, and said with a smile: "Wei Xian Ma has worked hard today, this is the king rewarding you for His Royal Highness the Prince, you go down first, this king and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have important things to discuss." ”

Seeing this, Wei Zheng took Yu Ruyi, arched his hand at Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and then left the East Palace. Seeing Wei Zheng walking away, Li Yuanji said sharply: "Big brother, are you crazy? There are not many people around you who can use it now, and besides, this Wei Zheng is also a talent, do you want to force him over there? If this is the case, you might as well draw your sword and kill yourself now, because of your efforts, our efforts over the years have fallen short because of you." ”

I saw Li Jiancheng say in a daze: "I just can't be angry that my father gave the name to that kid." ”

"It's just a broken name, and it's worth your anger. I saw Li Yuanji say disdainfully: "Since my father can give him the title of emperor, when you ascend the throne in the future, you will take it again, our main task is to suppress their strength, how much money can a broken name get back in exchange for a soldier? I tell you, there is no one." ”

After listening to Li Yuanji's words, Li Jiancheng came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Then why did the father give him this name?"

"Do you think this kid is just playing today? There are two bills for the Chang'an Mansion store in it, which is said to be a total of two million yuan. I saw Li Yuanji smack his lips and said: "I can't see that this kid has such a big hand, so we have to find a way to find out where his money comes from? ”

And Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Okay, I'll ask that person later to see if he has any news, and I heard that my father is going to build another hunting ground, do you have any thoughts on this matter?"

"I'll go back and think about it, and then I'll come back and talk to you. Li Yuanji nodded, and said thoughtfully: "The other pair of jade Ruyi, remember to give me a new pair." After speaking, he turned around and left the East Palace.

In November Xin Maoshuo (the first day of the new year), Li Yuan came to Yizhou, and then demoted the original acting school inspector Zhong Pei Ju to the acting Huangmen Shilang, and then appointed Sima Yu scribe of Tiance Mansion and acted as the school inspector on Gengzi Day (the tenth day of the first month), and added the Qin King Li Shimin as the Zhongshu Order, the King of Qi Li Yuanji as the servant, and the Xian King Chu Mofeng as the Zhongshu Shilang, but Chu Mofeng heard the above table and asked Li Yuan to take back his life.

Knowing that Chu Mofeng was unwilling to take up an official position anymore, Li Yuan had no choice but to give up, and then returned to the capital on the first day of the new year in December. In view of the fact that there were few large-scale hunting grounds in the Tang Dynasty at this time, Li Yuanxia on Gengchen Day (20th) aimed to set up a hunting field in Mingqi Spring.

On the Gengchen day of December of the eighth year of Wude, the banner display at the Mingqian Spring was crowded, and Li Yuan led the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qin, Li Shimin, the king of Qi, Li Yuanji, the virtuous king, Chu Mofeng, and others, accompanied by everyone, came to the Mingqian Spring.

For this hunt, in fact, as early as a few months ago, the Ministry of War sent a large army to block hundreds of miles around Mingqi Spring, in fact, Li Yuan wanted to hunt not only to relax, but also to review the army under his command and establish his prestige.

In order to prevent Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji from taking the opportunity to make trouble, Chu Mofeng deliberately transferred the Tiance army under his command, and arranged for Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde to accompany him.

Li Yuan's big tent was placed in the safest place, and the princes were stationed separately according to their preferences, and the more interesting thing is that the tents of Li Shimin, Chu Mofeng and Li Xiaogong were placed in the shape of a zigzag, which also played a protective role to a certain extent.

At this time, in Li Shimin's big tent, Li Shimin, Chu Mofeng and Li Xiaogong were sitting together, drinking tea and talking, only to see Li Xiaogong smile and said: "I heard that Brother Chu Xian was promoted by His Majesty to be named a virtuous king, and this king has not had time to congratulate him." ”

Who knew that Li Shimin pretended to smile mysteriously and said: "You don't need to congratulate him, after returning to the capital, let him invite you to the wine shop for dinner." ”

Hearing that Li Shimin mentioned Mi Shanna's wine shop, Chu Mofeng said angrily: ", why do you miss that wine shop? Do you have a fancy for which girl in the wine shop? How about I ask Mi Shanna to arrange something for you?"

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Shimin first got up and walked to the curtain and poked his head out to look around, then returned to his place and whispered: "You can be careful, if someone hears and tells Jiluo, I will be miserable." ”

I saw Li Xiaogong smile and said: "I said His Royal Highness King Qin, I said that the county lord of Changle is already five years old this year, how many heirs are you and the princess going to have?"

Who knew that Li Shimin glanced at Li Xiaogong and said: "Do you think they are all the same as you, your princess gave birth to three good sons, and you don't even accept a concubine?" Then he pointed to Chu Mofeng and said: "Look at people, there are only five princesses, when will the sixth one marry into the palace?"

I saw Chu Mofeng say angrily: ", do you think I'm the same as Your Majesty, the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards? I can't cope with these five, and there are still five unclear ones in the family, and I am about to send them to the fiefdom to help me take care of them." ”

"You sent your team out, who will protect your family?" Hearing that Chu Mofeng was going to send out all the flowers on the other side, Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little worried.

Who knew that Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "Don't forget that there are still Hanshuang, Feng'er and Jingyan in the house, these three girls can't be idle." ”

At this time, Li Yuhu and Dou Jingyan, who were wandering around in Dongshi, couldn't help sneezing, and then said angrily: "I don't know what's going on lately, it's always like this, let's go to Sister Ziyao's hospital and let her take a look after a while, right?"

Shi Hanshuang on the side nodded and said: "It's also done, it's winter, you have to pay attention to your body, so as not to get sick from all over the house." ”

At this time, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were discussing things in Li Yuanji's big tent, only to see Li Jiancheng say coldly: "Both of them are here today, we have to find a way to separate the two of them, otherwise we won't be able to do it." ”

I saw Li Yuanji smile sympathetically and said: "This is easy to do, after the hunt begins, I will be responsible for transferring the surname Chu, eldest brother, you arrange someone to deal with the King of Qin, let's try to kill these two personalities here, and when the time comes, once my father asks, he will say that he was bitten to death by the prey." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, knowing that at this moment he and Li Yuanji were already grasshoppers tied to a rope, so he had no choice but to obey Li Yuanji's arrangement, and then said with a gloomy face: "I brought Xue Wanche this time, who is here over there?"

I saw Li Yuanji think for a moment and said: "I just asked my protector Xue Bao to contact the man, I really don't know who is coming, in short, the surname Chu is handed over to me." ”

Seeing this, Li Jiancheng had no choice but to nod, and at this moment, the drums of the hunting outside the camp sounded, and all the princes walked out of the camp tent one after another and came to Li Yuan's big tent, and the soldiers in the military tent in the distance had already turned over and got ready.

I saw Li Yuan slowly walk out and say to everyone: "This hunting is to show my Tang Dynasty's martial arts, you are hunting to your heart's content, and those who get the most prey will definitely be rewarded, so you have to work hard." After saying that, he killed the livestock used to sacrifice the flag and threw it forward.

Seeing this, everyone turned on their horses and took out their bows and arrows, waiting for the soldiers of the large battalion to release the prey and drive it away. At this time, Chu Mofeng rode on his horse and asked boredly, "What is the biggest animal in this hunt?"

I saw Li Xiaogong pretend to be mysterious and said: "I heard that it is a huge black bear, this thing is not easy to kill." ”

Seeing that the prey had been expelled and ran into the distance, Li Shimin grabbed the horse's belly with his legs and rushed out first, Chu Mofeng and Li Xiaogong hurriedly rode their horses to chase after them, but Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji behind them looked at the backs of the three of them, revealing a sinister smile......

As the saying goes, brothers work together to break gold, and watch Chu Mofeng resolve the crisis, and the three princes join forces to hunt, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
