Datang Nongwang

Chapter 844

Today is a rest day.

Even if there is no court meeting, there is no big deal.

Therefore, even Li Shimin, who had to deal with the public office on weekdays, had a rare good rest, but unexpectedly, he was ruined by Li Chongyuan.

In fact, Li Chongyuan didn't want to either, because Zhong Ji made a fuss about it.Otherwise, he, Li Chongyuan, might be in Lizhuang at the moment, studying how to increase the yield of brown sugar, and then studying how to make white sugar.

Li Chongyuan really doesn't want to go back to Chang'an recently.

But there was really no way, he had to go back this time.

His prospective father-in-law was arrested by Zhong Ji, how could Li Chongyuan sit still.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, but there was an extra episode in the middle, which didn't make Li Chongyuan feel bad.

When Wang Li saw that Li Chongyuan said that the people he brought were important people, and saw that one of them was wrapped around his head by a cloth, Wang Li was really curious, "King Li, is he again?"

"This... After I meet the Holy One, Director Wang will know." Li Chongyuan couldn't explain who this person was.

Wang Li nodded slightly, "Don't bring any prohibited items, otherwise, you will be a burden to me."

"Boss Wang, don't worry, who I am, Li Chongyuan, you, Boss Wang, should be the most clear. I'll give you this short gun and theirs for safekeeping." Li Chongyuan took it out of his pocket. The short gun, and asked Tang Li to hand over the weapon.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan understood the rules, Wang Li smiled and took Li Chongyuan's short gun, looked at it, and then led the way forward.

Li Chongyuan immediately waved to Tang Li and the others, and followed Wang Li's footsteps.

On the way, Wang Li held Li Chongyuan's short blunderbuss and asked curiously: "Jun Wang Li, your firearm is really scary. Even I, I probably would have died on this firearm. At the beginning, I don't know how you thought of it. Using gunpowder as an introduction, we made such a firearm."

"I can't help it. I'm low in martial arts and I'm afraid of death, so I have to find a way to save my life. Fortunately, there is such a thing, otherwise, I'm afraid I will die so many times." Li Chongyuan Recalling the past, I also have lingering fears.

At the beginning, it was really dangerous to compete with the Tubo envoy Sado.

If it were not for this short gun, Li Chongyuan's grave would have been covered with thatch as tall as a man.

As Wang Li walked, he asked with expectant eyes: "Prince Li, I wonder if you can make me a weapon like your firearm. You know, the Eastern Expedition If the Holy Majesty wants to personally conquer, I am also afraid of any accidents. If you can forge a firearm for me, Li Junwang, I will protect the Holy Majesty even more."

"This. I'm not afraid that Mr. Wang will say that I'm stingy. It's just that this firearm is really difficult to make, and it's hard to reach the sky. Just like my firearm, it took two years to make it. Moreover, this firearm can only be made at most. It can be fired hundreds of times before it has to be scrapped. Furthermore, to use this firearm, you have to carry gunpowder with you. It is really troublesome to fire a gunpowder once. In addition, you are the most clear about the performance of gunpowder. Right." Li Chongyuan felt a little embarrassed.

After Wang Li heard this, he could only sigh helplessly, and stopped continuing.

in fact.

Where would Li Chongyuan help Wang Li build firecrackers?

He would never help him build this thing, even if Li Shimin asked for it, Li Chongyuan would say that it was impossible, or even find other reasons to shirk it.

As for the saying that the short gun can only be fired a few hundred times before it has to be scrapped, that's just Li Chongyuan talking too lightly.

As for the steel pipe of Li Chongyuan's short gun, it can be used at least thousands of times, not hundreds of times as Li Chongyuan said.

Li Chongyuan said that it took two years to build one, and the lifespan is only a few hundred times, plus one shot needs to be filled with gunpowder.

After hearing such a troublesome thing with such a short lifespan, Mr. Wang also felt that it was a tasteless thing, so he stopped pursuing this topic.

This is Li Chongyuan playing tricks.

There is really no way, since Wang Li needs firecrackers, so Li Chongyuan has to help him build them.

He, Li Chongyuan, doesn't want the firecrackers to be produced in large quantities now, and he doesn't even want the firecrackers to replace cold weapons and bring the age of cold weapons into the age of firearms.

of course.

There is another point.

That is because Li Chongyuan thinks that the fire gun has not been able to improve until now, and it is also because Li Chongyuan can't think of a good way.

If the firearm can be improved into a flintlock gun, and then improved into a percussion gun, then maybe it will be able to enter the age of firearms.

But right now, Li Chongyuan really didn't think about how far he would push the firearm.

The main reason is that in Li Chongyuan's head, there is really no way to improve it, otherwise, the percussion gun might have already existed.

The two walked in front, talking about gunpowder.

And Tang Li and the others held Zhong Ji some distance away from the two of them, so they didn't have to be afraid that Zhong Ji, who had his head wrapped around him, would hear about the gunpowder.

Soon.

Wang Li led Li Chongyuan and the others to a certain hall.

However, Li Shimin is not in this hall, but in the West Inner Garden.

If on weekdays, if Li Chongyuan entered the palace alone, Wang Li might lead Li Chongyuan to the West Inner Garden.

But today, Li Chongyuan brought many people into the palace, naturally Wang Li would not lead Li Chongyuan and the others to the West Inner Garden.

Wang Li nodded slightly and said: "Jun Wang Li, you stay here for a while, I'll go ask the saint to go up."

"Then I'm going to trouble Manager Wang." Li Chongyuan nodded.

and so on.

Waiting for Li Shimin's arrival.

But after Wang Li led Li Chongyuan and the others to a certain hall, Li Chongyuan waited for more than an hour.

Just as Li Chongyuan was waiting anxiously, a head came out from the gate of the hall, startling Li Chongyuan who was watching the scenery in the hall, thinking it was Li Shimin, "Si, why are you here?" ?”

The owner of the head outside the palace is Princess Jinyang Sizi.

"Cousin Chongyuan, I heard that you have entered the palace, so I came here to meet you. Cousin Chongyuan, why didn't you bring sister Wan'er when you came into the palace? Also, cousin Chongyuan, you It is said that the sugar cane in the field is going to be cut down, have you cut it now? I really want to go to Li Zhuang to play. Also, did the brothers of the Zhu family find it?" Sizi smiled and entered the hall.

Li Chongyuan walked over and said with a smile on his face: "The sugar cane in the field hasn't been cut yet, and, didn't you go to Lizhuang once yesterday? Well, na, these two are right. However, this time, you have suffered, and my cousin is worried that you will be severely punished by the Holy Majesty. It seems that the Holy Majesty is still reluctant to beat you."

"Cousin Chongyuan, my father hit me with a board. Hehe, but it's not serious. Now that the person has been found, I think you must come to see my father, cousin Chongyuan, and you must explain this matter to him." Si When the son replied, he didn't forget to reach out and touch her buttocks.

But Li Chongyuan watched Sizi's movement when he entered the hall just now, there was nothing abnormal, he was alive and kicking, and he was very happy.

But I remembered yesterday that the steward said that there was news from the palace that Sizi was severely punished by Li Shimin, and his butt was bleeding from beating.

But as far as Sizi is concerned, it doesn't look like a big problem.

This also made Li Chongyuan extremely suspicious, and the news that the housekeeper inquired was not all truthful.

Li Chongyuan saw that there was nothing unusual about Sizi, and the guilt he felt towards Sizi disappeared in an instant, "Yes, I brought them into the palace this time to explain this clearly to the Holy Majesty."

After hearing this, Sizi gently tugged at the corner of Li Chongyuan's clothes, and pointed to a quiet place where no one was around.

Li Chongyuan was a little puzzled, but he walked over.

"Cousin Chongyuan, you have to be careful when you see your father. Just now, several princes of the state entered the palace to discuss matters with their father. Moreover, I heard that you, cousin Chongyuan, killed people in the street. It was seen by many people. So, after you see your father in a while, you must be careful." After arriving at the quiet place, Si Zi said softly but with concern.

After Li Chongyuan heard Sizi's words, he finally understood why he had waited for Li Shimin for more than an hour and still hadn't waited for Li Shimin's arrival.

It turned out that during this hour or so, other dukes had entered the palace.

Moreover, after these princes came into the palace, they also told Li Shimin about Li Chongyuan's murder in the street.

This made Li Chongyuan frown deeply after listening to Si Zi's words, "Does Si Zi know which princes they are?"

"There's my uncle, and Shen Guogong, Jiang Guogong, Liang Guogong, and Lu Guogong. Oh, and Zhong Deming, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhong Li, Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, and others." Sizi said one by one.

When Li Chongyuan heard the names of these people that Sizi said, his face became more and more serious.

The number of people was so large that Li Chongyuan didn't care about it at first, but now he immediately became concerned.

Five princes, five or six ministers and ministers, and several court officials and ministers of the fifth rank.

Li Chongyuan's expression changed.

Seeing Li Chongyuan's expression change, the nearby son was nervous, "Cousin Chongyuan, after you meet your father in a while, don't fight against your father. I believe Cousin Chongyuan You definitely wouldn't commit murder in the street, what those people said must have been made up."

"Sis, not long ago, my cousin, I really killed five people in the street. As for them accusing me of committing murder in the street, this is true. However, they didn't know that they accused me of committing murder in the street. My cousin committed a crime in the street at that time, and I met hundreds of gangsters, besieged my cousin in the streets of Changshoufang, and deliberately attacked and killed my cousin, my cousin had no choice but to kill me in the street." Li Chongyuan looked at Sizi's nervousness. She knew that she was concerned about herself, but she told Sizi the actual situation.

After hearing this, Sizi looked in disbelief, "Cousin Chongyuan, did you really kill people in the street? But those people should be killed. If they dare to attack and kill you, cousin, they should be killed! But, I heard again , They have evidence that you, cousin Chongyuan, committed murder in the street on purpose, I think they must be making up something to deceive father again."

"Oh? What evidence did they say that the cousin committed murder in the street on purpose?" Li Chongyuan was amused and curious when he heard that they still had evidence.

Sizi shook his head, "I don't know. After I heard this, I was called away by my mother. That's why I had the opportunity to come here to talk to cousin Chongyuan. No, I have to go back quickly Otherwise, seeing me here, my father will definitely restrain me again. Cousin Chongyuan, you have to be careful, don't confront father."

Sizi didn't wait for Li Chongyuan to speak, and trotted out of the hall directly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Chongyuan came to the gate of the hall, looked outside, but thought in his heart.

Li Chongyuan really did not expect that these dukes are so insidious.

"A group of yin people even formed a group to accuse me of Li Chongyuan's murder in the street. It's really lucky that you can figure it out." '

'There is also evidence to prove that I killed someone intentionally, which really makes me want to know what your evidence is. '

'I don't know whether Li Shimin believes in you, me, or the evidence. '

'It's fine if I don't go back to Chang'an City. So many troubles happened once I go back to Chang'an City. It seems that they don't want to punish me to death. They are definitely not reconciled. '

'Since you want to fuck me to death, then I, Li Chongyuan, won't talk to you any more. '

'If you can't kill me this time, then I, Li Chongyuan, must kill you, so that you can know that I, Li Chongyuan, are not so easy to bully. '

Sizi came to inform Li Chongyuan, and Li Chongyuan accepted Sizi's situation.

Not long after Si Zi's departure, Li Shimin really came.

When Li Shimin came, he entered the hall with a dark face, sat down without saying a word, and stared at Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan, who pretended not to know the situation, first gave a big gift to Li Shimin, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to enter the palace, but I have something important to report to the Holy Majesty, and I also ask the Holy Majesty to forgive me."

"Tell me, what's important to report!" Li Shimin said angrily.

Li Chongyuan was well aware of Li Shimin's anger, and immediately removed the cloth pocket covering Zhong Ji's head, and began to explain to Li Shimin everything that happened from yesterday to today.

Of course, it also included the fact that nearly a thousand people surrounded Changshoufang South Street on the way.

After Li Chongyuan finished speaking, the anger on Li Shimin's face disappeared, and he looked curiously at the brothers of the Zhu family who were kneeling on the ground, and then at Zhong Ji who was also kneeling on the ground, and asked loudly: "Zhong Ji, what Li Chongyuan said is true, you tell the truth, if there is half a lie, you should know the consequences."

"My minister, my minister, my minister is guilty, my minister pleads guilty, Your Majesty, my minister pleads guilty." Zhong Ji was yelled at by Li Shimin, and he kowtowed and confessed his guilt.

The people involved are all here, Zhong Ji really dare not lie to Li Shimin.

Seeing Zhong Ji like this, Li Shimin knew it in his heart.

Although Li Shimin understood the matter in his heart, he looked at Li Chongyuan and asked: "Someone sued you for murder in the street, and there is evidence, you can admit it!"

"Of course I don't admit it. When I left, I had already sent a few guards to stay behind. Cui Tong, the magistrate of Chang'an County, went back to the county government to recount the incident. Moreover, I also believed that I was surrounded by nearly a thousand villains. If the Holy Majesty wants to find out the facts, he only needs to send someone to question the people near Changshoufang and they will know the whole story." Li Chongyuan sneered in his heart when someone accused him of committing murder in the street.
