Chapter 30 Li Shimin's Conspiracy
When things have reached this level, what else can I say? Everyone said some polite words to each other, and the big things have turned into small things.
"The sixth princes are all weak ministers who are not disciplined strictly, so their daughters hit Your Highness." He turned his head and said sternly: "Yingying, I'm not here to apologize to Your Highness!"
Cui Yingying muttered in a low voice: "It was him who humiliated me first." Seeing Cui Shao's stern eyes, she still walked to Li Yan unwillingly and said with her nose: "Your Highness, Yingying apologizes to you!"
"What?" Li Yan put his hand in his ear and said deliberately: "I can't hear it!"
Cui Yingying was so angry that she wanted to pounce on her and bite her again, "Your Highness, Yingying was wrong!"
Cui Shao was on the side, and Li Yan couldn't go too far. He nodded and accepted Cui Yingying's apology. When he left with Cui Yingying, Cui Shao looked at Li Yan with complicated eyes. The connotational look made Li Yan get goose bumps, and at the same time, a bad feeling spread in his heart.
"Sir, what should I do with my horse? Thirty silos of copper coins per piece? You have to be fair to Caomin!" When Li Yan and Cui Yingying were arrested, Hu Shang, the horse seller, was also taken to the government office as a stain witness.
Xu Shiji stared at Hu Shang tightly, and the grievances just now suddenly surged into his heart, and he kicked Hu Shang in the ass: "The profitable businessman, after reaching the deal, he actually made a profit and went back on his word. Come on, take this profitable businessman to the mutual trading supervisor and deal with it seriously!"
"Yes!" Two yamen runners took the line and took Hu Shang, who was shouting for injustice, away.
After dealing with Hu Shang, Xu Shiji walked up and said, "Your Highness, I am satisfied with the handling of Wei's minister!"
"Mr. Xu handled cases impartially and did not fear power. He was actually a pillar of my Tang Dynasty. Such a good minister, I will definitely praise him in front of my father!" Li Yan began to fire an empty cannon.
"Your Highness is absurd, this is all the duties that the empress do!" Xu Shiji smiled very cheaply.
After drawing a big cake for Xu Shiji, Li Yan said, "Mr. Xu, I have important things to do, so I won't delay your work. I don't know my horse..." Li Yan dragged his voice.
With Xu Shiji's slickness, he understood what Li Yan meant, and said, "Don't worry, your highness, I will send someone to send those horses to Prince Liang's Mansion later!"
"Then I'm thankful for Lord Xu!"
"This is the punishment that the profiteer deserves. Your Highness, walk slowly, be careful of the steps..."
Watching Li Yan leave, Xu Shiji breathed a sigh of relief, called a yamen runner and said, "You go to Lord Changsun's mansion and tell him about this matter in detail!" Yesterday, when he was chatting at the Changsun mansion, he also talked about the emperor's troubles about the Sixth Prince and Miss Cui's family. This happened today.
Xu Shiji's efficiency was pretty good. Shortly after Li Yan returned to the palace, thirty-six batches of strong grassland horses were sent to the palace.
"Your Highness, why have you bought so many horses? Even the prince's mansion can't take the horse shed!" Jin Daqian said this, his face full of smiles. Which housekeeper doesn't want the house to have a group of strong horses in the horse circle? After all, this symbolizes wealth and status. When he goes out, he also has a glory on his face.
Li Yan looked at the grassland horses one by one and said, "I picked it up for nothing, don't want it for nothing, by the way, where is Sima Tu!"
"He is training a new guard in the apse!"
The conflict between Lichunyuan and Li You reminded Li Yan of a point he had always ignored, that is, his own private soldiers, but private soldiers were explicitly prohibited after all, so the palaces of various princes and nobles called private soldiers as guards and servants in disguise. For example, in the Qin Palace before Li Shimin, the guards had reached 2,000. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, these guards quickly converted into soldiers.
Of course, Li Yan did not have the courage to build such a large team, which would not be said to be a rebellion, but a small team still had to be established. So Li Yan asked Sima Tu to expand the guard team to thirty people, and give priority to the use of veterans who came from the battlefield.
From a commander-in-law to a team leader of thirty people, Sima Tu immediately became energetic and focused on his own soldiers.
There is a large open space between the back hall and the front hall. Now this open space has been turned into a martial arts field for the Liang Palace. This is a modern martial arts field. Li Yan created all horizontal bars, obstacle walls, logs and other facilities in accordance with the appearance of a modern military training ground.
At this time, Sima Tu was taking these guards to do push-ups.
Li Yan walked in, and Sima Tu shouted to stop, "Your Highness!" Sima Tu clasped his fists.
Many of these guards were veterans who had killed people. When they first came to the palace, they were all rebellious, but Sima Tu was not a good meal. After a meal, they all became honest. At this time, Li Yan suddenly felt how wise it was to accept Sima Tu, although he still had a lot of appetite now.
"The royal palace has purchased a batch of war horses. You can take them to the horse shed to choose your own war horses. Horse riding training will be included in the training subjects in the future!" Li Yan looked at the eyes of these guards. After hearing Li Yan matched a batch of horses alone, these people's eyes immediately shone. It was like going to work in a company and the boss matched you with a car. How could he not be excited?
Sima Tu also grinned and said, "Let's go, pick up the horse!" Amid the thanks, the guards rushed towards the horse shed.
"Hahaha……"
In Tai Chi Palace, Changsun Wuji entered the Ganlu Hall directly as if he was in his own mansion. The Huangmen Minister who stood outside the Ganlu Hall did not stop him. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he believed that Changsun Wuji's achievements were not required to report, so he could go directly to the Ganlu Hall, his residence, which was also a sign of expressing his trust in Changsun Wuji.
"Hahaha……"
Shortly after Changsun Wuji entered, Li Shimin's heartfelt laughter came from it. After Xu Shiji sent someone to tell him about Li Yan and Cui Yingying, he rushed to Tai Chi Palace and told Li Shimin, who was reviewing the memorial in Ganlu Hall.
"Hmph, Cui Shao, what do you do this time?" After laughing, Li Shimin pulled Changsun Wuji and said something in his ear. Changsun Wuji was stunned at first, and then laughed and said that he became more and more obscene.
After leaving Tai Chi Palace, Changsun Wuji called his confidant, Sun Ning, who was a distant relative of him. Since he followed him, he has been through life and death with him and has also participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. At that time, Changsun Ning and Changsun Wuji's uncle Gao Shilian went to the prison to organize prisoners to serve the King of Qin, which was very trusted by Changsun Wuji.
After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Changsun Ning said in confusion: "Sir, hasn't this helped the Sixth Prince? In the future, will he be more like a fish in water with the support of the Cui family in the court?"
Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "I don't know this, but suppressing the five surnames and seven hopes is the emperor's wish, and it is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty for generations. How can we ministers ignore the interests of the Tang Dynasty? Besides, Li Yan and Li Ke are both concubines, and the position of the crown prince is not their turn. Besides, the emperor is upright and upright, and he is only thirty-six years old this year. I don't know that the throne changes are the Year of the Ox and Horse Month. At the worst, I'm still here, so just beat this brother occasionally on weekdays, don't take it too seriously!"
"Yes!" Changsun Ning responded.
