Chapter 149 Kidnapping
Li Shimin's stubbornness, the ruffianism of literature and art, and the depravity of the Tang army all show that the country's ruling class is incompetent. Generally, this situation indicates that the country is in turmoil and is about to die.
But what Lu Dongzan couldn't understand was that a country that was about to perish would never have a bustling, prosperous and orderly capital like Chang'an.
Lu Dongzan always felt that everything he saw was very inconsistent. The most obvious thing was that Dada said that the Tang army had loose military discipline and was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, so there should be a lot of bullying of the people.
There were indeed many soldiers robbing the vendors, but those vendors who were robbed were not only not afraid at all, but also shyly welcomed the military master when he comes again next time! This is not normal! After Lu Dongzan watched the military parade, he locked himself in the room.
Alone and thinking hard... finally he came up with a brilliant plan when the moonlight spread all over the earth! Lu Dongzan called Dada and whispered in his ear for a long time.
After confirming again and again that Dada understood clearly, he was relieved to let him leave.
Seeing Dada disappear, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but said to himself: "Wen Xiang, Wen Xiang, as long as I catch you, I don't believe that Datang can still hide its trump cards!"
The conversation was divided into two parts. After receiving Lu Dongzan, Wen Yi went directly to the palace to meet Li Shimin.
After the ceremony, he went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I would like to take a long leave."
Li Shimin put down his ink pen and nodded and said: "You want to go on honeymoon with Shu'er after you get married, right?
You have told me about this, and you can go wherever you want after you get married, and I have approved it."
Literature and Art: "Your Majesty, I recently observed the stars at night and discovered that the five stars of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are about to form a strange five-star continuum.
I calculated overnight that there will be a disaster in the Tang Dynasty next year, and I want to travel all over the world to find a way to solve it.
Please grant your Majesty’s permission!”
Li Shimin's face became condensed, he stepped back and said solemnly: "Speak humanly."
Wenyi touched his nose, walked up to Li Shimin and whispered: "Uncle, there have been severe droughts in many places recently. Based on past experience, I estimate that there is a high possibility of a locust plague next year, which will cover Henan, Longyou, Guannai and other areas.
.
This matter cannot be ignored!"
Li Shimin's frown deepened: "This matter is not trivial, Xiaoyi, can you be sure?"
Wenyi took out the years when locust plagues occurred in the past, and the contents of memorials submitted by various places before the locust plague, and put them in front of Li Shimin for him to read.
After a long while, Li Shimin put down the information and said, "Xiaoyi, tell me how to deal with it."
Wenyi took out another document and handed it over and said: "Chickens and ducks are the biggest nemesis of locusts. At the beginning of the year, I issued an order to raise a large number of chickens and ducks, but the results were not satisfactory, so I would like to ask His Majesty to encourage the raising of chickens and ducks on a semi-mandatory basis."
The imperial edict on chickens and ducks allows every household in the disaster area to have at least ten chickens and ducks.
I also asked the Xiao family to lead a large fleet south to purchase large amounts of grain overseas to cope with the upcoming disaster.
But these methods are still slightly insufficient, so I want to take advantage of the current stable development in the country to find more effective solutions."
When Li Shimin saw that literature and art encouraged people to raise chickens and ducks to satisfy their own appetites, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Look at the excuse you made, it's so ridiculous! No wonder it has little effect.
Leave this matter to me, and I will ensure that there are flocks of chickens and ducks in every household!"
Wenyi blinked his big curious eyes and asked for the truth, but Li Shimin kept it secret and brought up the next topic: "I heard that the date the queen has set for you to get married is the first day of August, which is only a few days away.
It's better to wait until you get married before going out. Although the locust plague is important, we don't want to rush it."
"Well, uncle, I have something to report to you."
"explain."
Wenyi looked at Li Shimin who looked wary and said in a low voice: "According to the news from Honglu Temple, Lu Dongzan has become suspicious of our show of weakness and is planning to leave Beijing in the near future and kidnap me to Tubo to force me.
Let's show our true strength.
I just want to take this opportunity to go to sea and travel far, so that I can explain it to the civil and military officials. After all, it is not convenient to make the locust plague public."
Li Shimin glared at him: "You're a cunning little thief! I don't think it's inconvenient for you to explain to the officials, but you don't dare to explain to Shu'er!"
Wenyi hurriedly bowed to the ground: "My uncle has a clear understanding of everything, and he is truly the most wise king in the history! My admiration for my uncle is overwhelming..." Li Shimin immediately interrupted: "Shut up! Why do you say you are such an upright and good boy?
You've learned to be so glib! Shu'er, I can help you smooth things over, but you can't linger outside, there are still many matters in the DPRK that need you to deal with."
Literary art is overjoyed. Seeing that Li Shimin agrees, what else is there to say?
Hurry up and finish the unfinished flattery! Then, the palace guards saw the delighted First Prime Minister rolling out of the palace with His Majesty the Emperor’s scoldings... In the following days, the literary and art masters were working on their jobs
After everything was arranged, he stayed at home and waited for Lu Dongzan to come and arrest him... Why would Lu Dongzan think of arresting Wenyi when he wanted to go out?
In fact, after the military parade between Wenyi and Lu Dongzan, Wenyi told Lu Dongzan a story like a casual chat. The story goes like this: A long time ago, Pangu opened up, the three emperors ruled the world, and the five emperors established their relationships.
It is divided into four major continents: Dongshengshenzhou, Xiniuhezhou, Nanganbuzhou, and Beijuluzhou.
There is a mountain named Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
There is a monkey king on the Huaguo Mountain who calls himself the "Monkey King". The Lord of Heaven, the Jade Emperor, does not like him, but he heard that the Monkey King has six brothers with powerful powers. He also has seventy-two cave masters, monkey soldiers and monkeys under his command.
There will be countless.
The Jade Emperor didn't want to fight head-on, so he thought of a way to trick the Monkey King into entering the Heavenly Palace.
After securing the Great Sage in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor immediately sent millions of heavenly soldiers and generals under Nantianmen and sent people to Huaguo Mountain to spread rumors that the Great Sage was trapped in Heaven and urgently needed their rescue.
The six brothers of the Great Sage did not realize their eagerness to save people, so they immediately mobilized their demonic soldiers to attack the Heavenly Palace.
When the Jade Emperor saw that the so-called countless demon soldiers were actually only less than 100,000, he was determined and declared war on the Great Sage without any concealment.
In the end, the Great Sage was suppressed under Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years! Wen Yi finally added: "So, among the thirty-six strategies, the 'lure the snake out of the hole' strategy is still very useful!"
Only then did Lu Dongzan come up with the idea of hijacking literature and art. To do this, of course he had to find someone who would take the blame, commonly known as "stirring misfortune to the east."
Look left and right, Gaochang from the Western Regions is just the right length.
So Lu Dongzan packed his bags and returned to Tubo the day after he was expelled by Li Shimin's order, while Dada led fifty people to quietly return to Chang'an and get in touch with the Gaochang envoy.
Although Dada's IQ was not high, he couldn't resist Lu Dongzan's teachings word for word! He calmed down the Gaochang envoy in just a few words.
On the tenth day after Lilu Dongzan left Chang'an, the envoy from Gaochang reported to return home.
On the night of the third day, the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty disappeared at home... After receiving the news of Wenyi's disappearance, Li Shimin summoned his right-hand men: Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others. He only said that this was
There is no need to worry about literature and art showing off to enemies by showing weakness, but you need to do enough on the surface, and immediately issue sea arrest documents to rescue literature and art as soon as possible.
Li Chunfeng was also summoned and asked to recalculate the wedding date for Wenyi and Shuer. Of course, the specific date would not be clear.
After settling all the officials, Li Shimin frowned and returned to the harem to figure out how to settle Shu'er. Shu'er was the apple of his eye, and Li Shimin loved her far more than his own daughter. Now he, the uncle, was allowed to work with his future husband to deceive the innocent Shu'er.
Son, just thinking about it gives me a headache! After gritting his teeth and cursing Li Shimin for a few words, he immediately put on a smile and walked towards Shu'er's bedroom... Let's not mention how many beards Li Shimin would have pulled off by Shu'er. Just saying that he was trapped.
The art of throwing rice dumplings into the carriage.
After a bumpy night, he regretted it. If he had known that being kidnapped would be so uncomfortable, he would have thought of other solutions! His internal organs were almost knocked out! Wenyi, whose mouth was tightly gagged, hummed hard in the carriage. This was him
The only way to express dissatisfaction now.
After groaning for a long time, he finally summoned a strong man. The man tore off the rag stuffed in Wenyi's mouth and said: "I am Zhenda, the general of Gaochang. On the order of the King of Gaochang, I invite Prime Minister Wen to visit Gaochang for a few days. Please forgive me if you offend me."
Please bear with me."
Wenyi curled his lips, "It's not like I've never seen you kid before. Do you think I don't recognize you after smearing ashes on my face?"
Thinking that with his IQ, he probably only knew the disguise technique of plastering, I felt relieved.
Wenyi did not reveal his identity, and cooperated: "So that's it, since you want to invite me as a guest, you won't kidnap me, right?"
I'm almost torn apart, please untie me quickly!"
Dada, now Zhenda, Zhenda smiled and said: "My king is afraid that Prime Minister Wen will be too polite and has to take this step. You should be patient and patient. I will loosen your bonds when you leave the realm of the Tang Dynasty."
After saying that, he ignored Wen Yi and turned around and got out of the carriage.
Wen Yi looked at the sky speechless, he had no choice but to endure the sins he had committed with tears in his eyes! As the saying goes, a hundred secrets can only be separated. Wen Yi and Li Shimin only wanted to stabilize the court, but they ignored another extremely powerful force in the Tang Dynasty.
The strength of Jianghu! On the third day after Wenyi disappeared, the official sea arrest documents were officially issued. Under the secret control of Li Shimin, the documents were only posted in Chang'an City.
However, the speed of news spreading in the world is often incredible. Within three days after the document was posted, the entire world knew about the kidnapping of literature and art.
The founder of Jianghu was kidnapped, how could the heroes sit idly by and watch?
The martial arts leader "Dragon King of the Furious Sea" Qiu Keke and the green forest boss "Flying General" Shan Xiongxin issued a "Heroic Order" calling on the heroes to rescue the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Literary Art! "Quick as the Wind" Bu Shang immediately contacted "God" after receiving the news
Yan Shanfei, the traveling Taibao, and Miaoling Nuxia, the best cat thief in the world, took the initiative to carry out the work of transmitting messages between people from all walks of life.
