Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 273 Northern Foothills of Lishan Mountain, Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang
Chapter 273 Northern Foothills of Lishan Mountain, Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang
"Do you suspect he is the King of Shu?!"
Li Shimin's voice was cold and murderous.
He looked at Fang Yuan and didn't know whether he had murderous intent towards Fang Yuan or Li Ke.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood."
"I'm just telling you what I know. I don't doubt the King of Shu at all, and I don't dare to doubt the King of Shu."
Fang Yuan lowered his head slightly, not looking at Li Shimin.
The reason why I chose to tell Li Shimin was to give Li Shimin a headache and make him busy.
Ever since the fire cannon incident, the relationship between myself and the emperor has been somewhat broken, and it is no longer what it used to be.
Under such circumstances, Li Shimin will have no time to care about himself until something bigger and more annoying happens.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Shimin to kill himself because of this incident. At most, the break will be even greater.
"You go down."
Li Shimin took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and waved his hands.
"I resign!"
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back.
Li Shimin couldn't hold back his anger anymore, kicked over the desk in front of him, and roared in the sky.
He was angry because Li Ke was so stupid and did something that was unworthy of the royal family.
For such a long time, he has turned a blind eye to the overt and covert fighting between Li Ke and Li Chengqian.
But now, Li Ke has completely violated his bottom line. He doesn't need such a prince, and neither does the court.
"Come here, pass the message to Li Ke!"
Li Shimin roared and shouted.
He didn't want to make random guesses about this kind of thing, so he asked directly.
Because guessing is useless, it will only make you more irritable.
It's not Li Ke who most likely can ask about the situation.
After all, Cheng Yaojin has been ordered to rescue the captured bandits.
If Li Ke dares to lie, he will end up even worse after being forced to find out the result.
Not long after, Li Ke arrived, but he did not come alone, but escorted Yang Yuzhi.
As soon as he saw Li Shimin, Li Ke knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
After seeing this scene, the anger in Li Shimin's heart disappeared a lot.
"Father, I had no idea about the robbery of food and grass beforehand!"
"It was all Yang Yuzhi and Shouchun who made their own decisions and sent people to kidnap them!"
Li Ke shouted in fear.
After learning that Fang Yuan entered the palace, Li Ke thought about countermeasures.
Later, when the emperor wanted to expel the palace maids and eunuchs, Li Ke guessed that Fang Yuan would tell the truth.
So he immediately pressured Yang Yuzhi to come to see the emperor, hoping to clear up the matter.
Unfortunately, when we sent people to forcefully invite the Shouchun County Lord, the Shouchun County Lord disappeared.
After finishing speaking, Li Shimin looked at the tied up Yang Yuzhi with a look of death.
"Your Majesty, it's unjust, it's unjust!"
"Even if I had the courage, I wouldn't dare to hijack food and grass."
"It's all under the instigation of His Highness the King of Shu. He has a grudge against Fang Yuan and wants to take this opportunity to take revenge on Fang Yuan."
Yang Yuzhi cried and shouted.
The look of panic on his face became even more intense.
He is really more frightened than Li Ke, and more worried about Li Shimin killing him.
No matter what, Li Ke is Li Shimin's son. Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. Li Shimin would not kill Li Ke even because of his reputation.
But I am different. I feel no pressure to kill myself, and I will even be happy to kill myself to express the anger of the common people or to appease the hatred in my heart.
But fortunately, his wife was not arrested. If he refused to admit that it was Li Ke who forcibly instigated her, he might still be able to save his life.
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and shifted his gaze from Yang Yuzhi to Li Ke.
"Father, my sons and ministers are certainly not stupid enough to destroy the foundation of our Tang Dynasty."
"Furthermore, I am at odds with Fang Yuan, but it is completely necessary to take action on this matter."
"As a prince, I have many ways to make things difficult for Fang Yuan. There is absolutely no need to do this."
Li Ke was furious.
I never expected that Yang Yuzhi would bite me back today.
A dog that was so obedient before turned traitor to its owner today and deserves to die.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Even if I have great courage, I would not dare to do such a rebellious thing."
"The one-eyed Qiao Rongqi sent by me was once a bodyguard of His Highness the King of Shu. He retired due to an injury and has been working for His Highness the King of Shu. If it wasn't authorized by the King of Shu, how could I mobilize him?"
Yang Yuzhi cried and said.
Tears were streaming from his nose and he looked extremely pitiful.
"Father, I really don't have any children."
"Although Qiao Rongqi was the former bodyguard of Erchen, after leaving the palace, he was managed by Yang Yuzhi."
Li Ke was shocked and cried.
What a great Yang Yuzhi, what a great Shouchun County Lord, it turned out that he had thought about it all.
Even if he did not instigate using his former bodyguard, he would not be able to escape his involvement.
In addition, Yang Yuzhi insisted that now he did not know where the Shouchun County Lord was, and it would be difficult for him to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"Your Majesty."
Yang Yuzhi wanted to continue to correct Li Ke, but was interrupted.
"Shut up!"
"Put Yang Yuzhi into the sky prison and torture him severely."
"Put Li Ke under house arrest in the King of Shu's Palace, and send people to watch him and not allow him to go out."
Li Shimin scolded.
You say something to me, but I don’t know who to listen to.
Then check carefully to see who is real and who is fake.
Also, the Lord of Shouchun County must also be arrested to investigate this matter thoroughly.
"Father, please give me justice."
Li Ke took a deep breath and said respectfully.
His heart felt a little cold because of Li Shimin's attitude.
It is obvious that Li Shimin does not believe in himself or what he says.
Look, what a weak relationship between father and son, look what a ruthless imperial family.
Li Shimin didn't pay attention to Li Ke's change in mentality. He was angry now.
What Li Ke said is correct, and what Yang Yuzhi said is equally correct.
Without Li Ke's authorization, would Yang Yuzhi dare to do that?
Then let’s see who tells the truth and who lies.
Li Ke, who was sent back to the Shu Palace, drove away all the maids and eunuchs with a dark face.
He returned to the study and saw no one. He stayed there until night without going out or lighting a lamp.
Although the emperor sent people to keep an eye on Li Ke, in this case they did not dare to open the door and really stare at Li Ke.
After all, he is a prince. Although he is punished by the emperor today, he may regain his dignity tomorrow, which is not something they can offend.
In the dark night, the door and window of Li Ke's study were quietly opened, and a man in black turned over and entered, arriving in front of Li Ke in a familiar way.
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."
The man in black said respectfully.
"Is there any news from Shouchun?"
Li Ke said calmly.
In the dark night, there was no light in the study, so Li Ke's expression could not be seen clearly.
"No, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air."
"His Majesty's people were also looking for her, but also found nothing."
The man in black respectfully reports.
"Ignore her for now, bring a letter from my king to Cui Runyu, and then share some news."
Li Ke said in a deep voice.
He took a letter from the desk and handed it to the man in black.
Although the study is dark, you can barely see within half a meter.
"I'll do it now."
The man in black took the letter and left respectfully.
Leave where you came from and the window will be closed again.
The whole scene was as if it had never happened.
Then, the lamp in the study room was lit, and Li Ke walked out of the study room.
When the imperial guards guarding the door saw this, they breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Li Ke one after another.
This night, it seemed as if nothing happened in Chang'an City.
In fact, Li Ke’s letter only reached Cui Runyu the next day.
"Let the storm come more violently."
Cui Runyu looked at the letter in front of him and laughed.
A few days later, a piece of news shocked the whole city of Chang'an.
The treasure of Prince Yin was discovered at the northern foot of Mount Li!
It is rumored that the hidden treasure contains a wealth that rivals that of the country. If you get a certain amount of it, you will be rich for a lifetime.
The moment the news spread, the entire Tang Dynasty was shocked, and even ordinary people became fanatical.
Some people rushed to the northern foot of Lishan Mountain immediately to see if there was really a treasure?
The first group of people to go there were lucky. They could pick up gold while walking on the road.
After the news spread, people who originally didn't believe it also believed it, and more people flocked over.
But the second group of people were unlucky. Not only did they not find the gold, they also lost their lives.
In just a few days, the northern foothills of Lishan Mountain have become a dangerous place, and life may be lost if you are not careful.
But even so, many ordinary people still flock to it, are dazzled by the treasure, and want to become rich.
"Prince Yin's treasure belongs to the imperial court and no one is allowed to approach it!"
The palace will have orders soon.
And a forbidden army of 300 people rushed out from the palace and headed to the northern foot of Mount Li.
At the beginning, the presence of the army served as a deterrent, and the court soon sent professionals to investigate.
However, one night, the situation changed. Rangers who came from other places attacked the Forbidden Army at night, causing heavy casualties to the Forbidden Army.
The northern foothills of Lishan Mountain are gradually getting out of control. Even if the imperial court has forbidden troops guarding the place, it can't stop people from all over the world from peeking at the treasure. More people are coming.
Chang'an City is relatively stable, but groups of curious people go to check it out, and the treasure is blowing through Chang'an City like a hurricane, affecting everyone.
Among them, Fang Yuan is also included.
Night, Fang Mansion.
"Fang Yuan, I got news that the treasure of Prince Yin at the northern foot of Mount Li is the treasure of the Mo family."
Juzi sighed.
Although there have been speculations, I still can't help but sigh when I learn the truth.
Because if the two are one, it will be much more difficult to capture them.
Just like now, the whole world knows that if we try to seize it again, we will definitely lose a lot.
"Do you know who spread the news?"
Li Ke said in a deep voice.
Not many people probably know about the Hidden Prince Treasure.
There must be many people who want to devour this legendary treasure that is so rich that the country can't be rich.
But now, it has become known to the whole world, which is too surprising and feels wrong.
"I've asked Mo Cailing, but I haven't received a reply yet."
Juzi shook his head and said.
Mo Cailing has owed Fang Yuan another favor since he saved her last time.
"Let everyone grab it, we don't want this treasure."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
He wants the treasure, but he knows himself.
After the Fang Mansion masters printing money, it will no longer be short of money.
All the money in the world will be printed from Fang Yuan’s hands, and Fang Yuan is already the God of Wealth.
What's more, three hundred security guards have already transported food and have not returned yet, so they are unable to deal with the treasure problem.
"I will restrain the people below."
This is exactly what Juzi means.
He really doesn't want the treasure.
As long as you can do research well.
But if Fang Yuan wants, he will help.
"Husband, my uncle was transferred by the emperor to guard the northern foot of Mount Li."
Du Miaoyan came over and said at this time.
This is the second time the imperial court has sent troops to the northern foot of Lishan Mountain.
The first time was 300, the second was 500, and the total was 800.
There are not many Imperial Guards in the palace. If so many Imperial Guards are sent there, is the Emperor not afraid that the Imperial City will be empty?
"Have you set off yet?"
Fang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
As a general, it was normal for Du Chuke to be sent there.
But Du Chuke's ability may not be up to the task, and he may be assassinated.
Now there is chaos at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain. In the past, it was difficult for the army to suppress it, and they would be assassinated by rangers.
The imperial court's first attack of 300 imperial troops resulted in more than half of the casualties, and there was no order there.
"Leave in half an hour."
Du Miaoyan said solemnly.
She is also very worried about Du Chuke's safety.
"Half an hour."
"Let uncle pay attention to safety. Your own safety is the priority in everything. If anything goes wrong, just run away."
"In addition, I will write another letter to Mo Cailing to return the favor and ask her to take care of her uncle or not to assassinate him."
Fang Yuan murmured in a deep voice.
Du Chuke is a lieutenant general and should be protected by experts.
In this case, the only person who can assassinate him is probably a master of Deng Ling's ink.
"I'll go right away!"
Du Miaoyan nodded solemnly.
"Miao Yan, the main thing is to stay away from the battlefield!"
Fang Yuan stopped Du Miaoyan and reminded him.
Avoiding assassination is not a safe plan.
Only by leaving the battlefield can we be truly safe.
Although there is a risk of desertion when fleeing the battlefield, it is better than an accident.
Now that Du Ruhui has left not long ago, the emperor should not blame Du Chuke too much.
"I will remind uncle!"
Du Miaoyan nodded heavily.
She understands what Fang Yuan means and supports him.
But it’s impossible to run away as soon as you arrive. It depends on the situation and opportunity.
What if the imperial court can suppress the Jianghu Rangers and ordinary people?
However, these are not considered by Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, but by Du Chuke.
Du Miaoyan leaves.
Du Chuke is gathering his troops.
An emergency meeting was held in the Imperial Study Room at night.
"I didn't expect that a piece of news would cause people all over the world to go crazy."
Li Shimin looked around at everyone present.
His eyes stayed on Wang Gui for a moment.
In order to obtain the secret of Prince Yin's treasure, Wang Gui was invited back as a high-ranking official.
Before the treasure was actually obtained, something like this happened, so that the court is now very passive.
This is secondary, the key is to make Li Shimin feel that he has lost money in this transaction.
"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for the army to suppress us."
"Now not only the evil forces, Jianghu Rangers, but also ordinary people are flocking to it."
"The imperial court's suppression at this time will only increase casualties and may affect the reputation of our imperial court."
Fang Xuanling was the first to speak.
He does not advocate using violence to solve problems.
"I don't want to use the military to suppress it."
"But given the current situation, is there a better way?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
He doesn't want to be violent either.
But the emperor's order can no longer restrain them.
If violence is not used, Prince Yin's treasure will be stolen.
"We don't have to suppress it, we just need to hold on there."
"Anyone who gets the treasure, we will get it back, or get a part of it."
Fang Xuanling continued.
After he finished speaking, everyone was stunned and looked at him in surprise.
