Datang Nongwang

Chapter 671
The emperor Li Shimin rarely saw his father Li Yuan come to the court so early.

Come on.

Since Li Yuan was forced to abdicate, he rarely came to the court.

What's more, like now, it came so early.

but.

When Li Yuan came, it was impossible for him, the emperor Li Shimin, to sit on his throne and remain indifferent.

Li Shimin got up quickly, rushed under the treasure platform, met Li Yuan, and wanted to stretch out his hands to help him.

Li Yuan raised his eyes to look at Li Shimin.

From the way Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin, it could be seen that Li Yuan was angry.

Li Yuan flicked his hand, disdainful of Li Shimin's support, and walked straight towards the throne.

At this time, Li Yuan was over 70 years old.

According to the normal course of history, Li Yuan was already dead.

At this time, although Li Yuan's body was not as good as it was a few years ago, he was still in good spirits.

After throwing off the hand that was supporting him by Jin's servant, he walked directly towards the throne, step by step, looking very powerful.

If according to the normal situation.

Li Yuan lives in the palace, besides drinking and having fun every day, or fooling around with his concubines, how can his health be so good.

In recent years, Li Yuan has been living in Lizhuang.

Drinking is restricted every day, and there is no woman to accompany her.

Moreover, in Li Zhuang, he received less qi, had a lot of activities, and was slowly nourished by the medicinal wine, so his bones were naturally better.

Although Li Yuan is over seventy, if he continues to live in Lizhuang like this, it is not impossible for him to live to eighty.

of course.

You also have to be less angry, and exercise more, and there is an imperial doctor or others to supervise at any time, so it is not difficult to live to eighty.

but.

Li Chongyuan was no longer in Li Zhuang, only Wan'er was left behind.

Fortunately, Wan'er dared to fight against this little old man, otherwise, Li Chongyuan's medicinal wine would have been made by this little old man Li Yuan long ago.

During the few years Li Chongyuan was away from Li Zhuang, he never made any new shochu.

Moreover, most of the people who know how to make shochu are not in Lizhuang.

Qiao Su will be able to, but this leg is not convenient.

Furthermore.

As far as Qiao Su is a miser, let alone making shochu, it is estimated that spending some money to buy some wine will take a long time to feel distressed.

Fortunately, Li Chongyuan made a lot of medicinal wine, and there was also a lot of wine stored underground in the new warehouse.

Furthermore.

On top of Li Chongyuan's original mansion, there is still a lot of tiger bone wine.

and.

Li Chongyuan used to restrict Li Yuan to only give half a bowl of wine for each meal, but when it was in Wan'er's hands, this girl followed Li Yuan even more.

So, naturally, there is no shortage of wine.

Li Yuan approached the throne, stood there looking at the throne, his mood turned upside down.

This throne was once where he sat.

But now, he hasn't sat down for many years.

Scenes from the past, all emerged in front of Li Yuan's eyes.

but.

Li Yuan didn't take any pictures when he arrived.

It has been many years since he sat on this throne, and there are not many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty who are willing to listen to him.

For these, he Li Yuan still knows it well.

If he, Li Yuan, really wanted to continue sitting in this position, it would not be difficult for him to come, but the difficulty was that the government order did not work.

after all.

Most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty listened to his son Li Shimin, but few people still remembered him as the former emperor.

Li Yuan, who sat down slowly, looked at Li Shimin who was standing on one side, and then at Manchu civil and military officials, and said heavily: "I think back then, I raised troops in Jinyang and created my Great Tang. Those who followed me Some of the generals and soldiers have already passed away, and those who are still alive are old. The former court was Yang Guang."

Everyone listened to Li Yuan coming to the court so early in the morning and talking about the past, and they were very quiet. No one dared to speak or take any action at this time.

Even Li Shimin, who was standing on the side of the throne, was like a filial son, quietly looking at his father Li Yuan, and narrating the past.

but.

When Li Yuan paused and glanced at Manchu Wenwu, he looked sideways at his son Li Shimin and said in a deep voice: "The Xiang family was my arm back then, and all the Xiang family sons fought for our dynasty. Back then, Xiang Thousands of sons from my family followed me and attacked from Jinyang to Chang'an. There were countless casualties, but less than five hundred sons were left behind. After the establishment of our dynasty, I promised that if anyone reads from among the sons of the family, he will be awarded no less than The position of a fifth-rank official, and conferred on him as the Count of the County. Unfortunately, Xiang Jiaerlang has always been engaged in martial arts rather than literature, and this promise of mine has never been fulfilled."

"But now, Xiang Jiaerlang was murdered by others. I feel sad. The promise was not fulfilled, but people still killed him. Such a wicked person, dare to ask how you govern this country? In a world of peace, Xiang Everyone in my family is murdered, so one day, someone will murder me! Is there someone who will murder my Li family! "

wipe.

When Li Yuan's conversation changed, it really caught people off guard.

originally.

Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty listened to Li Yuan's recounting of the past in a good manner, but unexpectedly, when Li Yuan changed his words, it would be a question of accountability.

This made Manchao civil and military understand that Li Yuan came so early in the morning to ask for accountability.

but.

Everyone is still a little confused about Li Yuan's accountability.

At least.

Li Yuan also only said that someone in the Xiang family was murdered, but he didn't mention who was murdered, which made everyone a little confused.

and.

At the moment, no one has heard that Xiang's family members were murdered.

Furthermore.

In the past few days, most of the discussions in the court were about the extermination of the Qi family in Jimo, and nothing about the murder of Xiang's family.

Li Shimin, standing on the side of the throne, saw his father staring at him.

And from his father's words, he could hear his anger, even, from his own father's eyes, he could see how angry Li Yuan was.

"Father, there is no doubt that the Xiang family has made great contributions to me. Moreover, my father's promise has always been valid. As for what you just said, my father, I have never heard of the fact that the Xiang family was murdered by others. Everyone Lovers, has anyone heard about the murder of Xiang's family?" Li Shimin couldn't understand, and could only ask the ministers.

All the ministers shook their heads, expressing that they did not know.

Indeed.

How did the court know that Sanliu and Ersan were murdered by Qi Feng.

Don't talk about the court, even Dantu, or the officials in Runzhou in the state where Dantu is located, don't know about it. Naturally, the murder of [-] and [-] people by Qi Feng must not be able to reach the court. of.

Li Yuan didn't speak anymore, but his eyes were very unhappy looking at all the ministers in the court.

Moreover, when he visited Qi Wen, who was newly transferred to the household department as the left servant, the anger in Li Yuan's eyes rose even more.

Qi Wen, Li Yuan knows.

After all, the Qi family built ships for the imperial court. If Li Yuan didn't know about it, he would have been emperor for nothing.

Seeing that Li Yuan stopped talking, but his eyes were fixed on Qi Wen, Li Shimin felt strange in his heart.

'Could it be that the murder of Xiang's family has something to do with Qi Wen?It shouldn't be.Qi Wen has been busy getting acquainted with the affairs of the household department recently, if he murdered Xiang's family, it might not make sense. '

Li Shimin was confused, and he didn't understand, so he could only cast a questioning look at the golden servant standing under the treasure platform.

Seeing Li Shimin casting a questioning look at him, Jin Neishi had no choice but to salute Li Shimin and said, "My lord, Xiang's family has been following Li Chongyuan and Li Junwang for several years. Recently, Li Junwang found a mountain in the sea of ​​Suzhou Shadao built a shipyard, and because Xiang's family helped King Li handle some things, Qi Feng of the Qi family blocked the waterway on the Dantu Yangtze River waterway in Runzhou, and robbed Xiang Jiu and others, as well as several boatmen. Qi Feng of the family, disregarding the life and death of Xiang Jiu and others, used violent means to interrogate the design drawings of the paddle steamer built by King Li Jun of Xiang Jiu and others. And the five ordinary workers were thrown into Yunliang Lake and died after being beaten by Qi Feng of the Qi family."

boom.
Following Jin's servant's explanation, the whole court exploded like a pot of boiling water.

The servant Jin told the truth.

Only then did everyone understand why Li Yuan came to the court so early in the morning, and all the ministers could also see that Li Yuan looked at Qi Feng with supreme fire in his eyes, which showed that Li Yuan was extremely angry.

Of course, the ministers present are no strangers to the Xiang family's past.

Although, most of them are civil and military personnel of Tiance Mansion.

But they still knew a little about Li Yuan's left and right arms.

and.

All the ministers also know that the matter of the Xiang family is the matter of Li Yuan.

and so.

The people above the court, even if they were dealing with Li Chongyuan or the old lady, they would not touch anyone from the Xiang family.

Because, they knew that as long as they touched Xiang's family, they would touch Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor.

Even if Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, has no power, Li Shimin, as the son emperor, will stand by his father no matter what.

All court officials looked at Qi Wen one after another,

In their eyes, they looked at Qi Wen, pointing a lot, and hoped that Qi Wen could explain it well.

And the court officials thought in their hearts.

So what Jin's servant said is true, then the case of the extermination of the Qi family was most likely caused by Li Chongyuan in a fit of anger.

to this end.

The court officials began to speculate about the whole story of these two events, and they even began to think about the final direction of these two events and so on.

And this time.

Qi Wen, the servant of the household department, was also frightened by Jin's servant's words.

Some time ago, he knelt down under the court hall and begged Li Shimin for an order.

Unexpectedly, it was only a few days' interval that the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan was directly attracted.

Qi Wen was shocked.

Qi Wen, who was shocked, didn't know that his eldest nephew Qi Feng had done such a thing, which made him scared and nervous.

I was afraid, because I was afraid that Li Yuan would remove him from his official position if he gave an order.

The important thing is that his official career has since been ruined.

Shortly after.

Li Yuan left from the hall.

Before Li Yuan left the main hall, he turned his head and took a deep look at Qi Wen who was already panicked to the extreme, then looked at Li Shimin again, and said earnestly: "The left servant of the household department, you can change."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan was supported by Jin's servant to leave the main hall, the palace, and went to his family.

Li Yuan didn't care about what was going on in the court, he only cared about the result.

Li Yuan was not here to preside over the court meeting, but to ask for accountability.

He believed that it was absolutely impossible for his son, Emperor Li Shimin, to let him go when he was in court this time.

It was just as Li Yuan believed.

Before the end of the court meeting, Qi Wen was told by Li Shimin to go home and rest.

The sentence "go home and rest" means that Li Yuan said that he wanted to change Qi Wen's position as the left servant of the household department, and Li Shimin complied.

As for Qi Wen's future, this is unknown.

Shortly after.

An imperial decree came out from the palace, and they hurried to Suzhou.

And at this time the main family.

The old lady was overly saddened by the death of her clan members Thirty-six and Twenty-three, and fell ill.

This made everyone in the family anxious like ants on a hot pot.

"Brother, hurry to find the imperial physician." Li Chongxu was very anxious.

After Li Chongji heard the sound, he hurried out of the house and went to find the imperial physician.

Seeing that the old lady fell ill, Li Yuan was also in a bad mood.

When Li Yuan left his home and returned to Lizhuang the next day, he also fell ill.

Because of the murder of Xiang's family members, two people fell ill in succession. Li Shimin, who heard about it, rushed to Li Zhuang with a lot of imperial doctors to visit his father.

Fortunately, Li Yuan's illness was not a serious illness, but because of the murder of Xiang's family members, he was depressed, and then he fell ill after catching a cold.

Three days later, Li Yuan got better, and Li Shimin felt relieved.

Because of Li Yuan's illness, Li Shimin had been filial in Li Zhuang for the past three days, which made the government slack off a lot.

Because of this, the court officials began to speculate again.

Xisha Island.

Li Chongyuan had already returned from Jimo.

Li Chongyuan, who returned from Jimo, had already collected some evidence of the Qi family's evil deeds.

Li Chongyuan also let Xingba and others collect most of the evidence of the evils done by the Qi family in the mouths of Jimo people.

But in Qi's shipyard, there are many evil things.

It can be said that Xingba spent a lot of money in order to find out everything in the Qijia shipyard.

In the end, he bought off a member of the Qi family with a lot of money, and only then did he get a lot of evidence from that person.

now.

When Li Yan was reviewing these evidences, Xing Ba suddenly broke in from the outside, and said anxiously: "Xiao Langjun, someone from Chang'an is here."

Li Chongyuan looked outside the door with curiosity in his eyes.

Someone from Chang'an?

Li Chongyuan's first reaction was that his aunt sent someone.

When Li Chongyuan came out of the room, he saw that the person he saw was a servant, and his head became even more dizzy.

"Prince Li, the Holy Majesty has an urgent order. The Holy Majesty orders Li Junwang to go back to Beijing immediately." The servant said immediately after seeing Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan ignored any etiquette, approached the servant, and took the imperial edict from him.

Li Shimin summoned Li Chongyuan to return to Beijing immediately, which made Li Chongyuan a little surprised.

After Li Chongyuan asked the servant, he probably understood a little bit.

that day.

With an extremely heavy and complicated mood, Li Chongyuan boarded the C-type paddle steamer and hurried to Chang'an.
