Chapter 107 Li Shimin: What, Qin Wenyuan is the number one scholar!
Yu Heng died, and nothing was left after his death.
No, it doesn’t mean there’s nothing left.
He also left behind a few copper coins and a bamboo basket of fish.
Qin Wenyuan sighed and stood there in a daze, looking at the few copper coins with a strange look on his face. He only felt that the few copper coins were a bit dazzling.
The significance of the few copper coins that were barely within the palm of a hand was evidence that he and Yu Heng had fought against each other.
Apart from these, he could no longer find any evidence of his fight with Yu Heng.
Immediately, Qin Wenyuan took back the few copper coins very slowly, and said to himself: "Madam, at this point, all the guys who have attacked you, I, Qin, can be considered as finished."
Then, he felt a little emotional that Yu Heng, who had caused so much trouble for him before, was just like this... dead.
Died by his own poison.
Perhaps, even if Yu Heng's plan succeeded today, he never thought about going back alive.
Because, in the end, he left with a smile, without any deep hatred.
As for the spontaneous combustion of the human body, he had seen this trick in a Dee Renjie movie before. At first, he thought it was some supernatural force, but in fact, it was not at all.
The cause of spontaneous combustion in the human body is the "Red Flame Beetle", a highly toxic beetle that feeds on yellow phosphorus.
This kind of "red flame beetle" will automatically catch fire and turn into ashes as long as a person who is poisoned by the sun is exposed to it.
Apart from these, the words Yu Heng left before his death are also worth pondering.
What is the origin of the Big Dipper?
The more Qin Wenyuan thought about it, the more curious he became.
Immediately, the corner of his mouth slightly raised into a smile.
Yu Heng thought he, Qin, didn't know, but in fact, he already had some clues.
At this time, Xu Gou and his party also came here.
Qin Wenyuan heard the coming and quickly looked behind him.
I saw a group of five of them rushing towards this place covered in dust, but Qin Wenyuan frowned slightly when he saw it.
Because they came here without Baiyun!
Qin Wenyuan thought for a moment and seemed to have thought of something.
As soon as he arrived here, Xu Gou raised his hands and said: "Master, we were chasing Bai Yuncai just now and drove him to Baiyun Warehouse. Everything went smoothly and everything was carried out according to your instructions."
"only……"
Speaking of this, Xu Gou looked embarrassed.
Qin Wen saw the situation and said indifferently: "Is there something wrong with Bai Yuncai?"
"Yes." Xu Gou took a deep breath to calm his turbulent heart and forced himself to gradually calm down.
Then he continued: "Bai Yuncai did not catch him directly as we planned before."
"In fact, we caught him, but... I don't know why, but not long after he came out of Baiyun Warehouse, he burned himself. We really don't understand what happened..."
"Master, we are guilty of causing Bai Yuncai to die in such a strange way. Please punish us!"
The voice fell.
Qin Wenyuan completely understood that he and Xihe might have been smeared with the poison of the Scarlet Flame Golden Turtle before Yu Heng took action today.
Seriously, you have completely ignored death.
Qin Wenyuan chuckled lightly and said nonchalantly: "Xugou, I don't blame you for this. We couldn't have predicted their suicide."
When Xu Gou heard this, he was slightly startled.
In his opinion, it was absolutely his fault that Bai Yun died in such a strange way because of his negligence.
But now...
Hearing Qin Wenyuan mention the word "them", just saying... Yu Heng also died in this way.
Xu Gou was still thinking, while Qin Wenyuan continued: "Okay, let's put this matter aside and let's go back."
Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath and said, "The game that lasted for more than a month is finally over."
…………
The entrance to the palace.
Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji were waiting at the door to be summoned.
Because they were too bored, they started chatting.
"So, this time the number one scholar, he has no intention of becoming an official in the court?" Changsun Wuji asked.
He was slightly stunned by this.
After all, isn't it that other scholars obtain fame because they want to serve as officials in the court or to become famous all over the world?
And this time the number one scholar, according to what Wei Zheng said, actually doesn't want anything, he just wants to rest quietly in his own land.
this……
Changsun Wuji thought for a time that he had heard wrongly. He had already offered his brilliant plan for governing the country this time.
How could such a detailed businessman's way be written down if he didn't have a thorough understanding of the economic situation of the Tang Dynasty.
Such a talented person who knows the Tang Dynasty so well is actually planning to live in seclusion?
Changsun Wuji's expression became even weirder.
Wei Zheng said: "Lord Changsun, this is indeed the case."
"In the past few days, I have asked Mr. Qin more than once, but he...but he has no intention of joining the court as an official."
Wei Zheng had a look of hatred on his face.
In the imperial court, he was the person who cared most about Qin Wenyuan.
Wei Zheng was undoubtedly the most saddened by what happened to Qin Wenyuan.
It was precisely because he valued Qin Wenyuan that he offended Da Buji during the smallpox incident and personally helped Qin Wenyuan.
After doing so much, I thought Qin Wenyuan could use his wisdom to benefit the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect...
He is a salted fish!
At this moment, just as Changsun Wuji was about to reply, a eunuch came out of the court and said respectfully: "Master Changsun, Master Wei, your majesty invites you two to come in."
The two looked at each other and walked into the court one after another.
Today, Li Shimin specially summoned them, and no one knew what to say.
When Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji walked into the court, they saw that only Li Shimin was left in the great court.
Still there, smiling faintly.
Wei Zheng took a look and chuckled: "Your Majesty, I wonder what makes your Majesty so happy?"
Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng and said with a smile: "Wei Qing, the smallpox antidote provided by our Chang'an Zhuangyuan Lang was completely implemented in Wuwei yesterday."
"Good news came today. Nearly 30,000 people in Wuwei have been cured in half a day. How can I not be happy!"
The voice fell.
Wei Zheng smiled lightly and was somewhat relieved. Although Qin Wenyuan would not serve as an official in the court, if he had allowed the imperial guards to take away the princess, Qin Wenyuan might not have been able to develop an antidote to smallpox.
And this smallpox antidote has saved 30,000 people in just half a day. Wei Zheng feels that it is worth it.
He secretly said that he was lucky to have helped him at the beginning.
Changsun Wuji was a little shocked. He had never seen the power of the smallpox antidote with his own eyes, but now that he heard about it, his eyes were filled with shock.
"Your Majesty, this year's No. 1 Scholar, he...he is really a great talent."
As he spoke, Changsun Wuji glanced at Wei Zheng and said angrily: "Master Wei, you know the identity of the Number One Scholar."
"At the beginning, you said you would not disclose it for his safety. But now, it is only a matter of time before Wuwei smallpox is eradicated. Are you... still not disclosing it?"
Li Shimin also turned to Wei Zheng, "Wei Qing, I also want to know the identity of the Number One Scholar."
"this……"
Wei Zheng was a little hesitant when he heard this, but when he thought of Qin Wenyuan's identity at that time, Li Jing, Sun Simiao, Li Zaiyan and others now knew it, and he understood that concealing it was no longer possible.
He sighed and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, you and Lord Changsun know this year's No. 1 Scholar and have heard about it."
"oh?"
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were a little surprised.
Changsun Wuji said: "Since Your Majesty and I know each other, why did Mr. Wei choose to hide it? Why didn't he make it public as soon as possible and force Your Majesty and I to be curious?"
"Because...because..."
Wei Zheng was speechless for a moment, then he smiled helplessly and said: "Because his name is Qin Wenyuan, in a sense, he is the enemy of your majesty and Lord Changsun."
The voice fell.
Changsun Wuji was slightly stunned, as if he had not expected who Qin Wenyuan was.
And Li Shimin immediately thought of the extremely hateful guy who abducted his daughter!
Li Shimin's expectant eyes suddenly cooled down, and his expression became a little different.
Shocked, surprised, angry, confused...
It is hard to imagine that a person can have more than a dozen expression changes in just a few seconds.
After a while, he said coldly: "Qin Wenyuan, the number one scholar, but the Qin Wenyuan who robbed the beauty of his marriage?"
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he suddenly realized that he also wanted to come.
His eyes widened and he said in shock: "Master Wei, it can't be...it can't really be that Qin Wenyuan, can it?"
Wei Zheng saw the eyes of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, and he lamented, this is why he wanted to hide it.
He nodded and said, "Yes, it's that Qin Wenyuan."
With that said, he stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, Mr. Qin Wenyuan is actually not as bad as we originally guessed. He himself is also a man of great talent."
"Not only was he the number one scholar, but he was also the one who developed the antidote to smallpox. Even... he was also the one who was responsible for Lu Bansuo."
"What!" Changsun Wuji was shocked when he heard this.
He probed: "Did he provide the Luban lock now used in the construction of the Ministry of Works?"
Wei Zheng nodded and looked at Li Shimin. Li Shimin was so shocked that he was already drinking tea to calm his thoughts.
Wei Zheng continued: "Your Majesty, even the tea you are drinking now was developed by Mr. Qin."
"Aren't you always curious about why it's called Yuanyuan Tea Shop? The name "Yuanyuan Tea Shop" is derived from the combination of His Highness's name "long" and Qin Wenyuan's "yuan"."
"Pu!"
After listening to Wei Zheng's explanation, Li Shimin couldn't hold back and spit out the tea in his mouth.
If he could still understand the previous deeds of Qin Wenyuan, then he really couldn't understand this tea.
He stared blankly at the tea cup and said with a look of astonishment: "This tea, the tea that understands me so well, was also developed by that boy?"
Wei Zheng nodded, "Yes, His Highness is now aliased as Li Changle, and Qin Wenyuan can use His Highness's name as a corner of the tea shop. It can be seen that Mr. Qin really dotes on His Highness."
"Not only that……"
At this moment, Wei Zheng seemed to be talking more and more energetically, and continued: "This time about smallpox, Your Majesty, who do you think is the first smallpox patient in Chang'an?"
Li Shimin was stunned. He wiped away the tea from the dragon robe with one hand, thinking that since Wei Zheng had asked specifically, it must be related to Qin Wenyuan.
So, he asked tentatively: "Yes, Qin Wenyuan?"
Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "It's your highness. Your highness is the first smallpox patient!"
"What!" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "I remember that the smallpox patient was brought to Chang'an by Liu Fu from Wuwei. How dare he let Li Zhi get the disease!"
"How is Li Zhi doing now?"
As the saying goes, care leads to chaos, and now Wuwei smallpox has been completely eradicated.
Changle, how could something happen?
Wei Zheng smiled helplessly and continued: "His Highness, he was bound to die, but Qin Wenyuan did not allow it. He did not leave His Highness when he could avoid getting sick, but instead worked with His Highness to tide over the difficulties."
"For this reason, all his core subordinates were infected with smallpox. If it hadn't been for the critical moment, Mr. Qin developed the antidote to smallpox..."
"Perhaps now, we can only pay homage to His Highness and Mr. Qin."
Hearing this, the palace fell into deathly silence.
Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji. Although neither of them spoke, their trembling hands had already explained everything.
At this moment, Li Shimin's original impression of Qin Wenyuan had begun to change after hearing that Qin Wenyuan had shared weal and woe for Chang Le.
However, Li Shimin still had a cold face. He had a great face and was not a fool.
Wei Zheng speaks for Qin Wenyuan like this today. Does this mean that Wei Zheng means to let go of his prejudices and accept Qin Wenyuan?
But he was still unhappy. Even though Qin Wenyuan had done so much, he was still unhappy when his little cotton-padded jacket was so suddenly kidnapped.
After all, when he thought that his most beloved daughter was actually ruined by this kid falling from the sky, he felt very unhappy.
"I know this matter."
"Wei Qing, since Qin Wenyuan has no intention of joining the court as an official, then let him do it."
"Let's leave this matter as it is for now. As for Wuwei smallpox because of his second explanation, I will order someone to pass on the imperial edict later."
After saying that, Li Shimin subconsciously wanted to take a sip of tea, but suddenly thought that it was Qin Wenyuan's trick, so he put it down.
Immediately, he turned around and left.
Looking at Li Shimin's back, Wei Zhengnai shook his head.
As an important minister under Li Shimin, he was very clear about Li Shimin's character, which was arrogant and extremely face-saving.
He knew in his heart that although Qin Wenyuan had amazing talents, he almost killed Qin Wenyuan because of the previous conflict, which made him embarrassed to find Qin Wenyuan.
It's just that although Li Shimin didn't want to see Qin Wenyuan, he didn't get angry at all, which proved that he had safely handed over Changle to Qin Wenyuan.
Accept it, I'm afraid it's just a matter of time.
Wei Zheng understood this very well, and he planned to go to the Qin Mansion in the next few days to tell Changle this information, which was good news for her.
Wei Zheng chuckled lightly and said calmly: "Lord Changsun, Your Majesty has left. I think..."
Halfway through his words, Wei Zheng stopped abruptly.
Because when he saw Changsun Wuji, he had completely fallen into a state of sluggishness.
He was probably shocked by Qin Wenyuan. He didn't expect that Qin Wenyuan, who stole his son Changsun Chong's wife, would have such a talent that would shock the past and the present.
Qin Wenyuan didn't know everything in the court. At this time, he had already returned to the mansion with Xu Gou and others.

Recently, many book friends asked me to build a qun. I thought about it and decided to make one.
This group number has no password.
The reason why I don’t want to join a group is because the author likes to engage in pornographic activities. Now I have become a good person, but I still want to be cautious when entering.
