The book continues from the above, the last book said that Chu Mofeng issued a challenge letter, and decided to compete with the leader of the Flying Sword Alliance, Xumi, in the Shaolin Temple of Songshan in May of the first year of Zhenguan, and then all the sects and factions of the rivers and lakes came to the scene to observe, and Xumi, who arrived in Songshan one step earlier, found that Chu Mofeng had not fallen for a long time, and could not help but provoke everyone present from his words, but unexpectedly revealed his own details.

In the ardent expectation of everyone, Chu Mofeng came to Songshan by appointment, and after a struggle, Chu Mofeng relied on two divine weapons and an iron chain in his hand to completely defeat the rice field Xumi, who was actually a Dongying person, and then according to the agreement, the rice field Xumi presented his own weapon three-edged sword, and then left Songshan in disgrace.

Seeing Chu Mofeng win, everyone present was suddenly excited, and they jumped on the martial arts stage to hug Chu Mofeng in the middle, Shi Hanshuang and Mo Ziyao in the audience had already looked at Chu Mofeng with tears in their eyes, and Master Zhiyuan and Master Qinglian, who were still sitting as steady as Mount Tai, glanced at each other, and then Master Zhiyuan stood up and said loudly: " Amitabha, today's battle is really an eye-opener for the poor monks, His Royal Highness's martial arts seem to be a step further, as the saying goes, the warrior for the country and the people can be called chivalrous, His Royal Highness is in the temple and can put himself in the shoes of the people, and today for the Central Plains martial arts, he foiled the conspiracy of the Dongying people alone, which is really a model for my generation. ”

"The master was surprised by this, when it comes to martial arts cultivation and martial virtues, he thinks that he is not as good as the predecessors here, and he can stand up and fight today, but he doesn't want to see the people of the world suffer because of this, and he doesn't dare to ask for credit this time, I only hope that when he fights with the Turks, you can help each other and say goodbye!"

Chu Ninghan, who was shrinking in Shi Hanshuang's arms, saw his father leaving, and couldn't help but look up at Shi Hanshuang and said, "Mother, my father took away the three-edged sword, it won't be for his daughter, right?"

"Nonsense, have you forgotten the iron law of Emei? The sword that belongs to you can only be found in the sword mound. Who knew that Shi Hanshuang's face was cold, and he looked at Chu Ninghan coldly and said: "The sword obtained from the outside world can't communicate with oneself, how can you use it as you like?"

Chu Ninghan stuck out his tongue when he heard this, and then curled up in Shi Hanshuang's arms and stopped talking.

With Chu Mofeng's drifting away, a group of heroes left the Shaolin Temple in Songshan one after another, while Shi Hanshuang and Mo Ziyao were at the foot of Songshan Mountain, separated from Qinglian Shitai and his party, in Chu Ninghan's reluctant gaze, Shi Hanshuang and Mo Ziyao embarked on the road back to the capital Chang'an.

The battle between Chu Mofeng and Rice Field Xumi quickly spread in the rivers and lakes, and for a time there were different opinions, some envied Chu Mofeng's martial arts, some were jealous of Chu Mofeng's prestige, and there were also those who hid in the dark and gritted their teeth at Chu Mofeng, and when the matter reached the ears of His Majesty Li Shimin, Li Shimin laughed from the bottom of his heart, and then looked at Yuan Junzhang standing in the main hall, and then said loudly: "Since General Yuan is determined to return to the imperial court, I am deeply grateful, and I am determined to make General Yuan the governor of Xizhou and confer the title of Duke of Rui. ”

It turned out that at the time of the battle between Chu Mofeng and Daotian Xumi, Yuan Junzhang led his soldiers and horses to submit to the imperial court. During the Wude period, Yuan Junzhang seduced the Turkic soldiers to capture Mayi, killed Gao Manzheng, and retired to Heng'an. However, his soldiers were all from the Central Plains, and most of them broke away from him and defected to the Tang Dynasty. Yuan Junzhang, who learned the news, was very frightened, so he also took the initiative to surrender and asked him to defend the northern frontier to atone for his crimes, and Li Yuan readily agreed.

However, Yuan Junzhang was afraid that the Tang Dynasty would rebel, so he asked for a contract, and Li Yuan sent Yuan Pu, a native of Yanmen, to give him a gold coupon in order to appease Yuan Junzhang. At this time, Jieli Khan sent people to surrender, Junzhang hesitated, and his subordinate Guo Ziwei, a native of Heng'an, persuaded him: "Heng'an has a dangerous terrain and a strong city wall, and the Turks are strong, so we should rely on it to observe the changes in the situation, and it is not appropriate to be restrained by others." ”

Yuan Junzhang then followed Guo Ziwei's advice, arrested Yuan Pu and sent him to the Turks, once again united with the Turks, and invaded the Tang Empire several times. Until May of the first year of Zhenguan, Yuan Junzhang saw that Jieli Khan's political affairs were chaotic and knew that the Turks were not enough to rely on, so he led his troops and horses to surrender. Yuan Junzhang's surrender unified the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which made Li Shimin excited, so he ordered someone to inform Chu Mofeng, who was far away in Songshan.

Earlier, the right servant shot Feng Deyi suddenly fell ill in Shangshu Province, and Li Shimin personally went to visit him after learning of the situation, and ordered someone to send him home with a royal chariot. On the first day of the new year in June, Chu Mofeng returned to Chang'an, and on this day, Feng Deyi died of illness at the age of sixty. After hearing the bad news, Li Shimin issued an order to drop out of the dynasty for three days, and posthumously presented Fengde Yi Sikong, and gave him the name Ming.

On the day of Renchen (12th), Xiao Yu, the young master of the crown prince, was appointed as the left servant of Shangshu, but when the court was in mourning, the Central Plains ushered in a disaster.

On the 28th of Wushen, there was a drought in Henan Province, with Yan, Yun, Qi, Qing, Lai, Deng, and Yi prefectures as the most, and for a time the affected prefectures were displaced, and countless people died of hunger on the streets.

After hearing the news, Li Shimin immediately issued an order to requisition grain to go to the disaster relief, and ordered the disaster-stricken areas to be exempted from taxes for one year, who knew that with the distribution of disaster relief food, the situation was not only not improved, but became more and more serious, which made Li Shimin surprised, just when the thunder was angry and wantonly investigated, but heard that the 10,000 Longcheng troops in the capital carried about millions of loads of grain to the disaster-stricken areas, and then the victims were properly resettled, and the post-disaster reconstruction work was also carried out in an orderly manner under the supervision of the Longcheng army.

In autumn, on the first day of the seventh month (the first day of the new year), the virtuous king Chu Mofeng entered the palace to face the saint. In the imperial study, Chu Mofeng reported to Li Shimin on the disaster relief matters, Li Shimin sat on the chair, carefully flipped through the recital submitted by Chu Mofeng, muttered for a moment from time to time, and then recorded something on the paper.

Chu Mofeng, who was sitting on the side, looked at the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, Li Shimin, who had just entered the age of establishment, due to daily overwork, his sideburns were already covered with hoarfrost, the two were of the same age, Chu Mofeng was still a handsome son, and Li Shimin had already shown a trend of aging, remembering that the two of them were heroic young men and galloped together on the battlefield to fight in the north and south, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

After a while, Li Shimin raised his head, looked at Chu Mofeng coldly and said, "As you said, the leakage of the disaster relief grain this time is caused by man-made, since this is the case, why don't you follow the vine and find the melon to investigate?"

If an investigation is carried out at that time, no matter what comes out of the investigation, if the news leaks, first, it will inevitably make the people resentful of the court, and second, if it is used by someone with a heart, it will inevitably reappear at that time. When Chu Mofeng heard this, he immediately said: "Therefore, the younger brother could only use his personal name as a guarantee at that time, and seconded a large amount of grain from the Song family in Lingnan for disaster relief, and then prepared to investigate the matter after the disaster passed." ”

"Seconded? Doesn't that mean that you still have to pay back to the Song family in Lingnan? Millions of loads of grain, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money, right? I will allocate some of it to you from the inner treasury, and the rest will be allocated after the treasury is sufficient, what do you think?" Hearing that Chu Mofeng had shed blood for the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin immediately prepared to call Wang De to pay the money from the inner treasury.

"The money of the imperial court should be kept to prepare for the Turkic war. Chu Mofeng waved his hand, then sat down and said to Li Shimin: "As for Your Majesty's money, you can keep the reward and use it for your own use, and the younger brother has other business dealings with the Song family in Lingnan, so you can choose one and let them make 30% of the profit." ”

"How can this be done?" Although Li Shimin is not in business, he also probably knows that the so-called thirty percent profit in Chu Mofeng's mouth is not a small amount, and he can't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, but Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "If Your Majesty insists on rewarding, then the courtier wants to take advantage of the peace and quiet of the court these days, and the courtier brother is willing to go to Henan Province to thoroughly investigate the disaster relief grain case, and be sure to find out those big rats, otherwise once another disaster occurs, even if there are ten Lingnan Song families, they will not be able to hold on." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin immediately stretched out his hand and slammed the table, and then said with a hideous face: "Check, give me a thorough investigation, the ten prefectures in the world, if you have the energy, all the ten prefectures will be checked by me, this Tang Dynasty I am the first, you are the second, this time I give you the right, you bring someone to pay a private visit, check these people for me, after catching the culprit, all of them will be sent to the imperial court, and after the ten prefectures are investigated, they will be beheaded together to set an example." ”

When Chu Mofeng heard this, he hugged his fist at Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the younger brother will thoroughly investigate the grain road in the world to return justice to the people of the world." ”

After talking about business, I saw Li Shimin's voice change, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you kid, my cousin has been married back for a long time, why haven't you seen the good news from Jingyan?"

"Go, go, Your Majesty has to take care of these things, I'm not like you, a bunch of sons and daughters, I'm a small family, where can I afford to raise so many heirs?" I saw Chu Mofeng looking at Li Shimin with a disgusted expression, and then got up and took out two bottles of wine from behind the bookshelf and handed one bottle to Li Shimin," But then again, you and I are the same age, your sideburns are a lot whiter, some things are left to the people below to do, it's not good to be so tired yourself, after a while, I will let Ziyao enter the palace to give you a good life diagnosis and treatment, and by the way, prescribe some conditioning prescriptions. ”

After the two of them each raised their heads and took a sip, Li Shimin slammed the wine bottle on the table and said: "I can't imagine what you said, but I am the king of a country, fortunately, there are still you by your side who can share my worries. ”

Immediately, Li Shimin looked at the direction of the East Palace and sighed and said: "Now that Cheng Qian and Xuan Huang are still young, I think that after a few years, when the two of them get older, they will divide a part of the political affairs and hand them over to Cheng Qian. ”

"Thank Your Majesty for being so important to Xuanhuang, and my brother is here to thank Your Majesty for Xuanhuang. When Chu Mofeng heard this, he immediately raised the wine bottle and signaled to Li Shimin, and then took a sip.

"What do you think about the days in a few years?" Li Shimin raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and then said with a smile: "I also know that there is no such thing as longevity and immortality, it is all used by those alchemists to deceive people since ancient times, and I am satisfied to live to be fifty years old." ”

"Your Majesty, today's words can not come from your ears, the younger brother has already thought about it, no matter which of you and I leave first, the remaining one must live well, protect this territory that we have fought for all our lives, and wait for the day of death, it is better to go down and give an explanation to the other party, and then the younger brother wants to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, I hope Your Majesty will agree. Hearing this, Chu Mofeng looked at Li Shimin with a solemn face, and then slowly raised the wine bottle.

Li Shimin's eyes were wet when he heard this, and then he raised the wine bottle and touched it with Chu Mofeng, "I agreed, but before that, you and I have to do our best to create a prosperous Tang Dynasty." As soon as the words fell, the two immediately burst into laughter, and the laughter coming from the imperial study made Wang De, who was with him, and the palace maids puzzled.

On the Xinhai Day of the seventh lunar month of the first year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng's conversation in the imperial study was called the 'Xinhai Oath' by later generations.

In the autumn, on the second day of the seventh month (the second day of the first month), Li Shimin issued a decree to appoint Sun Wuji, the chief of the Ministry of Officials, as the right servant of the Shangshu. The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin were friends in the early years, plus the status of the queen's brother's relative, and the great merit of assisting Li Shimin to ascend the throne, so Li Shimin regarded him as a confidant, and his courtesy to him was unparalleled, and he wanted to reuse him as the prime minister several times.

However, Empress Wende's eldest grandson stubbornly requested: "As the queen, the concubine has reached the peak of the family's dignity and glory, and I really don't want my brother and brother to take charge of the state again." The three relatives of Lu, Huo, and Shangguan in the Han Dynasty are all painful lessons from the past, and I hope Your Majesty will be sympathetic and discerning!"

Although he knew that the queen was thinking about Li Shimin, Li Shimin did not listen, and after consulting Chu Mofeng's advice, he finally reused it.

On the third day of the seventh month (the third day of the first month), Chu Mofeng said goodbye to his family in the house, and secretly left Chang'an City with five horsemen, starting from Chunming Gate, all the way to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and went straight to the eastern capital Luoyang, as the first stop of the thorough investigation of the grain road, Chu Mofeng chose the eastern capital Luoyang as the primary target, after all, in the eastern capital Luoyang City, there has always been a group of old and young people of the former Sui lurking.

After leaving Chang'an City again, looking at the turbulent Weishui, Gu Zhen'er couldn't help but stand on the bow of the boat and make a poem, "Weishui, why are you so turbulent, why are you so turbulent?"

A headless poem caused everyone on the boat to laugh, and Yu Wenxiu, who was a former Sui person, leaned in front of Chu Mofeng and whispered: "Boy, what are you doing running out this time? Isn't it that His Majesty the Emperor has given you any tasks again?"

"I remember that my father once mentioned that when Lord Yuwen was alive, he was quite concerned about the grain road of the Sui Dynasty, and always wrote that the people were the foundation of the country and the grain was the root of the people, but it seemed that the court at that time didn't care about the people, right?" Chu Mofeng did not answer positively when he heard this, but suddenly mentioned the matter of Yuwenxiu's father Yuwenbi.

Hearing Chu Mofeng mention his father, Yu Wenxiu immediately said with a dark expression: "Yes, my father, Uncle He, General Shi and Master Gao, so many people who have done their duty for the people have ended up like this. ”

"Fortunately, those of us who survived saw the best result, didn't we?" Seeing Yu Wenxiu's lonely expression, Chu Mofeng immediately comforted him.

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, he remembered that Datang had justified his father's name, and he had ended the days of hiding in Tibet, and he was able to live a stable life under the sun and enjoy it to the fullest, all of this was brought to him unconditionally by the boy next to him who was three years younger than him, thinking of this, Yu Wenxiu's cheeks flushed, and he suddenly turned sideways to Chu Mofeng and said: "There is a sentence that I have been wanting to tell you for so many years, it seems that it is not too late today." As soon as the words fell, Yu Wenxiu kissed Chu Mofeng on the cheek heavily, and then whispered, "Little brat, thank you." ”

I saw Chu Mofeng suddenly jump up on the ground, and then covered the cheek that was kissed by Yu Wenxiu and said, "Thank you, we are so familiar." If you really want to thank me, why don't you come to my house and give me a kick?"

", the little fart is talking and talking, sister, I don't have that interest, help you do things until my sister feels tired, don't do it. Who knew that Yu Wenxiu suddenly blushed and said, "Do you think my sister is Zhen'er's girl?"

Hearing that someone called her name, Gu Zhen'er hurriedly got into the cabin, looked at Chu Mofeng and Yu Wenxiu who were full of red clouds, and then asked shyly: "I don't know what bad things the two of you did in the cabin while we were unprepared?"

"Go, go, sister, I will discuss with your lover brother again, when will I marry you into the palace as a side princess. Yu Wenxiu's eyes rolled when he heard this, and then he smiled slyly.

Xianwang's Mansion, located in Yiningfang's Xianwang's Mansion, originally had a plaque, which was issued by the imperial court according to the routine after the Jin Feng, who knew that shortly after Chu Mofeng left, Li Shimin ordered his side to follow the eunuch Wang De, with a new plaque to the Xianwang's Mansion to pass the decree, the intention is roughly that His Majesty is grateful to the Xianwang for his hard work for the country, and the plaque in his mansion is slightly old, and he personally wrote a piece of ' The Xianwang Mansion's plaque was rewarded to Chu Mofeng, and then saw that the literati of this plaque fell off the sedan chair and the martial artists dismounted, and the princess of the Xianwang Mansion Shi Hanshuang received the order to thank her, and then ordered someone to hang up the plaque.

At this time, Chu Mofeng didn't know about it, Gu Zhen'er in the cabin listened to Yu Wenxiu's words, couldn't help but blush, looked at Chu Mofeng faintly and said: "Brother Feng, this kind of thing you and I can find a time to find a place where no one is around, so that we can discuss it, this sudden statement makes the family a little shy." ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Feiyan and Xiao Ruolan walked into the cabin, only to see Liu Feiyan smile and say: "Gu Zhen'er, are you a nymphomaniac again?" You also believe what Sister Xiu'er said, didn't you see Sister Xiu'er kissing your brother Feng just now?"

As soon as she heard that Yu Wenxiu kissed Chu Mofeng, Gu Zhen'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she rushed to Yu Wenxiu's side, grabbed Yu Wenxiu's shoulders and said excitedly: "Sister Xiu'er, have you also figured it out?

"The glory and wealth of the fart is not to sell the life of this little fart child. I saw Yu Wenxiu looking at Chu Mofeng with disdain and said: "Zhen'er, my sister advises you, this little fart child already has six rooms, and if you go again, it will be the seventh room, the famous thief Gu Woman, can you put down your body and make a small one?"

For a while, the four women had a unique discussion about this issue, but they abandoned Chu Mofeng in the cabin, which made Chu Mofeng smile helplessly.

In Luoyang City, the eastern capital, in a shop called Luocheng Rice Shop, two people with gloomy faces were sitting in the inner room, the fragrant tea next to them was steaming with a hint of heat, and one of the older ones stroked his beard, coughed lightly and said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, you have dealt with this disaster relief matter a little too hastily, why do you have to swallow the first batch of disaster relief grain and grass privately, how can I explain to the above." ”

I saw that the young man who was called the shopkeeper of Zhao picked up the fragrant tea next to him and blew it, and then slowly put it down and said: "We also want to slow down and say, who knows that those people in Qingzhou and Qizhou, seeing the distribution of disaster relief food, did not care about it, and then that person immediately mobilized 10,000 murderous soldiers and millions of loads of grain to come to the disaster relief, which also made us unable to start." ”

"Don't care about the old decay, this matter was provoked by you people, don't implicate the old master, I hope you will do it yourself, if the court sends that person down to investigate thoroughly, then you will die Don't pull the master and leave!" The old man immediately snorted coldly when he heard this, then stood up and walked towards the door, who knew that he had just walked to the door, only to feel a cold throat, and when he wiped his hand, he found gurgling blood in his throat, and then fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

I saw that the shopkeeper Zhao took out the judge's pen at the old man's neck, spat at the corpse on the ground, and said: "Want to take yourself out? ”

Then the shopkeeper Zhao walked straight out of the inner room, and just came to the counter of the outer room, he saw a thin man walk in, and said coldly: "Dare to ask if you are the shopkeeper Zhao of Luocheng Mixing?"

Shopkeeper Zhao raised his head and said with a smile: "It's here, I don't know what the guest officer wants to buy?"

"Buy your life. As soon as the words fell, I saw the man stretch out his hand and waved it in front of the shopkeeper Zhao, and then turned around and left the rice store in Los Angeles, and after the man's figure disappeared, the guys in the store saw a large cluster of blood spurting out of the throat of the shopkeeper Zhao, splashing all over the store, and then the shopkeeper Zhao covered his neck and fell on the counter.

At the same time, the treasurers of the disaster-stricken state capitals were all killed at the same time, which surprised the state capitals for a while, and this move also stained Chu Mofeng's path with a layer of fog......

As the saying goes, only by clearing the layers of fog can we see the origin of things, and watch the sword flowers of Chumo in Luoyang, the eastern capital, flying, and then see the flowers blooming again on the other side of Henan Road......
