Chapter 115: Retreat from the court quickly! Heading to Prince Chus Mansion is the big deal!
"Master!"
Cui He collapsed and knelt down, his eyes trembling, and said: "This is all my fault. It was my fault in judgment that led to the family not imposing sanctions immediately."
"It's my fault! It's all my fault, please forgive me, head of the family!"
He bowed to the head of the Cui family in Qinghe.
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "You know you are wrong? It's a pity that it's too late!"
"If it weren't for your contempt, why would my Cui family despise that sweet potato so much? Come on! Take Cui He down and we will serve you according to our family's rules!"
Cui He's expression changed as soon as he heard the family law.
Pale as paper!
He begged frantically for mercy, but it was all in vain.
The guards of the Cui family dragged him down like a dead dog.
After going out.
Many family guards couldn't help but sigh when they saw Cui He, who was once a confidant of the family leader, being treated like this.
They knew very well that the sweet potato matter actually had little to do with Cui He.
After all, the decision-making power is in the hands of the head of the family. Cui He's original suggestion about sweet potatoes was just illusory and did not need to be taken seriously.
This was not only mentioned by Cui He, but also by many members of the Cui family. The head of the Cui family in Qinghe, who had the final decision-making power, thought it was reasonable and no longer cared about sweet potatoes.
This matter is everyone's fault.
But only Cui He was arrested, which only shows that the head of the Cui family in Qinghe is furious now, and Cui He is just a tool to calm down his anger.
And for this matter, [not paying attention to sweet potatoes, causing sweet potatoes to sprout], one person needs to take the blame.
This person is obviously Cui He now.
in the room.
After the head of the Cui family in Qinghe gave the order, he didn't even bother to look at Cui He. He kept his chin silent and fell into thinking.
"The sweet potato has sprouted, and it seems that there is really no way to stop its rise."
"It seems that we have to visit that Yu Heng."
The head of the Cui family in Qinghe looked outside and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He disliked these foreign forces very much, but now that the Cui family was in trouble, he could only turn to them for help.
….………….….…
Vertical sun.
Early morning.
Li Shimin can be said to be extremely enthusiastic.
He also received the news of Li Yuan leaving the palace last night.
Therefore.
He really didn't want to go to court this morning. All he could think about was the sweet potato, the Chu Palace and Li Yuan's affairs!!
"My dear friends, don't you have anything to do today? The sweet potatoes sprouted the day before yesterday. I am extremely happy that the Tang Dynasty can get help from God. I heard that many dear friends also went to see the sweet potatoes sprout yesterday."
"It can be said that there is a sea of people there right now. My dear friends, it will take a lot of effort to go and see it. They must be very tired. In this case, let's retreat."
"Have a good rest so that you don't tire yourself out."
Li Shimin wanted to stand up as he spoke.
withdraw!
Take your baby daughter to Prince Chu’s Mansion!!
He didn't even say a word that he would submit a memorial if something happened and that he would withdraw from the court if nothing happened.
Li Shimin really didn't want to waste any more time. Obviously, Prince Chu's Mansion was the place he longed for most.
However, things went counterproductive.
Pei Ji went straight out of the queue.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Pei Ji spoke softly.
Li Shimin just got up, and when he heard this, he could only sit down again.
Damn it!!
This Pei Ji is really looking for trouble!!
I’ve already hinted so clearly, but I’m still wasting time, grandma!!
But Li Shimin thought so in his heart, but he could only be patient on his face, waved his hand and said: "Really? In that case, please tell Pei Sikong."
Pei Ji said loudly: "Your Majesty, there has been news from the Turks. The Turkic envoy has set off and will arrive in Chang'an soon to supervise the things that the Tang Dynasty enshrines to the Turks. It is better for your majesty to be prepared in case the time comes.
, messed up."
The Turkic mission is coming again.
However, this news did not cause any uproar in the court.
Because this kind of thing has been going on for three years, and thinking about it, it is also this time of year, before the temperature of the Turkic grassland is about to cool down. I come to Datang to pick up a lot of needed supplies.
This year is coming soon.
However, the eyes of Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui flashed.
coming soon?
Turk?
It seems that the plan is about to be implemented.
Those glass statues of His Royal Highness King Chu are finally going to be put to use!!
After hearing the news, Li Shimin took a breath, nodded, and said, "Pei Sikong, I understand."
Pei Ji laughed and said: "In that case, Your Majesty, I will inform His Highness the Crown Prince and let him start preparations."
"Huh? Inform the prince, what are you informing the prince for?!"
Li Shimin frowned, feeling a little confused.
Just now, it seems that I didn’t tell the prince to take care of this matter.!
Below, Pei Ji looked stunned.
He also looked at Li Shimin in confusion.
"Your Majesty, wasn't it the Crown Prince who handled this matter in the past few times? This time... it should be the same as usual!?"
Pei Ji said.
"Oh, that's it, no need."
Li Shimin stood up, shook his head, and continued: "I will personally prepare for this matter. I won't bother the prince this time. The tide is out!!"
After saying that, Li Shimin walked towards the back in a hurry.
This saves anyone from stopping him and wasting time.
Pei Ji was stunned.
He looked at Li Shimin's back. This answer was really beyond his expectation.
Not only him, but Xiao Yu, Gao Shilian, Wang Gui and others from the pro-Li faction also frowned, thinking that they had heard wrongly.
this matter……
Wasn’t it always left to His Highness the Crown Prince?
Why is it that this year, His Majesty suddenly wants to take care of it personally?!
this……
Such a sudden change caught them off guard.
Abnormal! So abnormal!!
Combined with the news of Li Yuan leaving the palace last night...
hiss!!
Could it be said that His Majesty already has feelings for His Highness the Crown Prince...
Such an idea suddenly popped into the minds of several people.
Combined with the recent reputation of King Chu.
hiss……
Pei Ji and the others looked at each other, their hearts skipped a beat, and they quickly turned around and walked out, their steps extremely anxious.
But Changsun Wuji and others no longer have the mind to take care of Pei Ji and the others.
The officials dispersed, and the three of them rushed straight to Tai Chi Palace.
"You're here, let's go to Prince Chu's Mansion."
Li Shimin was waiting a little impatiently.
Empress Changsun, Princess Changle who has just recovered from a serious illness, and Xiao Sizi are all ready to go.
"Your Majesty, Queen, and Princess, please!"
The three people said quickly.
Li Shimin walked out quickly.
Everyone followed behind.
Empress Changsun was a little amused when she saw Li Shimin's anxious look.
""Your Majesty, don't be so anxious. Prince Chu's palace is not far away. You haven't left the palace yet. It's still early in the morning. Prince Chu is not in Chang'an either. Don't worry about anyone chasing you away."
Queen Changsun reminded.
Li Shimin paused and rubbed the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
So embarrassing!!
As a father, he raided his son's yard, but he was very active in doing so.
It was so huge that people who didn’t know it thought it was a house raid.
"This...I, isn't this urgent?"
"Speaking of which, Changle, the book you are holding in your hand looks very thick. What is it?!"
Li Shimin changed the topic and asked very curiously.
As soon as these words came out, Changsun Wuji and the others also looked at Princess Changle.
Princess Changle smiled.
"Father, this is a storybook. Xiao Sizi took it out of Changle's treasure bag because she thought she might know something about it."
As she said that, Princess Changle couldn't help but touch Xiao Sizi's little head.
"Oh, sister, it's nothing! It's just a book, hehe, even Si Zi can't understand that book. Sister, it's good that you can understand it."
Xiao Sizi was a little happy.
Listening to the conversation between the two sisters, Li Shimin was shocked.
It’s a book taken out of a treasure bag.!!
That treasure bag was something that Kuan'er gave to Xiao Sizi, or Kuan'er stuffed it into Xiao Sizi. This means... the book in Changle's hand came from the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
this!!
What a surprise, just looking for something to change the topic, I actually learned news about the Prince of Chu’s Mansion!!
When he thought of this, Li Shimin instantly became interested.
"What kind of book is it and what is it about?"
Li Shimin asked as he walked.
In my heart, I am extremely looking forward to it.
"Father, the name is "Dream of Red Mansions". It mainly writes stories about the mansion. If you have time, father can take a look."
Princess Changle replied.
story book??
Boring.
Li Shimin sighed. The books he needs most now are the art of war and economics. Reading these books may help the Tang Dynasty, and story books...
Forget it, forget it, just don’t mention it.
behind him.
Changsun Wuji, who was still looking forward to it, sighed inwardly when they heard this answer.
After all, they are all people who have read the books of sages all their lives. Their reputations are quite great. They consider themselves to be open-minded. They have no regard for books like story books, which are only read by young people.
"never mind."
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Xiao Sizi, and Changle, you two, this time I went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion and saw some books that I liked, so you should also read them."
Princess Changle smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Empress Changsun kept laughing as she listened.
This is really going to turn the Prince of Chu's Mansion upside down from top to bottom!!
A group of people walked out boldly and high-spirited
"Your Majesty, where are you going?!"
But when he walked out of the imperial city gate, the tough-looking Cheng Yaojin suddenly rushed out in a sneaky way.
This guy has been observing Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji for a long time.
At the end of the morning session today, he found that Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui had not left the imperial city, so he waited here carefully.
As expected!!
Wait and wait!!
Really waited for it!!
"Yao Jin, you are sick today. Didn't I grant you a day off? Instead of seizing the time and enjoying your hard-earned free time, you came to block my way. What is your purpose?"
Li Shimin asked with a smile.
The tone is somewhat similar to a conversation between friends.
"General... Ahem... General, there is something wrong. I want to tell His Majesty. It's just right. I don't know where Your Majesty is going?"
Cheng Yaojin blinked.
"That's it. If I do, I'll go to Prince Chu's Mansion now."
Cheng Yaojin's eyes were bright and he smiled instantly: "Oh, I have a lot to say in the end. Your Majesty, let's just talk while walking. It won't be in the way. Yes... it won't be in the way."
Cheng Yaojin said quickly.
Could Li Shimin not know this guy's evil idea? He just wants to go to Prince Chu's Mansion, and he is secretive about it, but...it doesn't matter.
Cheng Yaojin is also one of his most reliable confidants.
It is also possible to learn more about the Prince of Chu's Mansion and thereby better understand Qilin'er of the Li and Tang royal families.
"Okay, then Yaojin, you can follow me and Changsun Pu to shoot them, and let's go together."
Li Shimin did not refuse.
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin's face almost burst into laughter. He hurriedly walked among Changsun Wuji and the others, clasping hands in great anticipation.
"The Turkic envoy is coming soon. You three, please go through the plan in detail."
"This time, I don't want to give them so much food and so much cloth."
On the way, Li Shimin said leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Changsun Wuji and the other three nodded in succession: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is ready and we are just waiting for him to come."
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has created such good conditions for us this time. Of course we cannot let down His Highness the King of Chu's good intentions."
"Hahaha, that's good! That's good!!" Li Shimin was very satisfied.
Cheng Yaojin on the side was confused as he listened to their riddle-like conversation.
Is this to deal with the Turkic envoys?
plan?
what's the plan?
But when he saw that Li Shimin didn't want to say more, even though he felt itchy, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After all, he is just a martial artist.
While everyone was chatting, Cheng Yaojin picked out a few insignificant things that he had killed enemies in the past and talked about them, so that he could get by without being left in the cold.
Not long after, we arrived at the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
But this time, Li Shimin did not enter the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion.
And he stopped in front of the gate of a courtyard next to Prince Chu's Mansion.
The first time he came to Prince Chu's Mansion, that is, when he saw the grain, he found Liuli in this courtyard.
At that time, they didn’t understand Liuli and thought that Liuli was a divine object, so they lamented the power of the Chu Palace.
Li Shimin felt extremely itchy. He had never entered this courtyard before.
"Open the door over here."
Li Shimin said directly.
The eyes were burning with blazing flames.
Curious.
This courtyard is also the site plan of Prince Chu's Mansion.
I saw colored glaze when I first saw it. There must be something good in it, definitely something good!!
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui could not help but rub their hands.
Ke Huan never entered this courtyard even once.
However, Li Junxian was a little confused.
This gate is obviously not the one in Prince Chu's Mansion, so why should we enter this courtyard?!
Next to it is the Prince of Chu’s Mansion!!
But Cheng Yaojin didn't say much. He just stood nearby. To be honest, he was really curious about Li Shimin's recent series of movements.
Especially the private money of the King of Chu and grandma's that Your Majesty and others mentioned are more bizarre than the other.
Just chatting on the road, those conversations were about King Chu’s private money...
Be obedient.
Cheng Yaojin's heart really twitched when he thought about it.
They are all things I have never heard before!!
behind,
Cheng Yaojin drew his knife directly and wanted to cut it off.
"Your Majesty, we are not bandits. We are here to see King Chu's residence. There is no need to pry open the door."
Queen Changsun's mouth twitched and she quickly stopped her.
"this……."
Li Shimin thought for a moment, and then smiled kindly.
