Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 831: Playing tricks!bend over!
After Li Shimin heard the news, his heart ached and he often sighed in the palace. At the same time, he secretly ordered the detective to monitor Li Chengqian's every move in the East Palace.

Just at this time, Li Shimin, king of Wei, had finished compiling the draft of "Kuo Di Zhi", and Li Shimin felt a little happy, thinking that his princes finally had useful talents, and their knowledge of the world's geography would not be inferior to that of Xu Tian's erudite master. many.

Li Shimin felt this great work as a treasure, not only put the book in the royal library, but also rewarded Li Tai three times in succession. Specifications and honors have long surpassed the prince.

Li Chengqian was dissatisfied with his father's move, thinking that his position as the crown prince was already in jeopardy, so he often convened his subordinates in the East Palace to discuss how to solve the current predicament.

At that time, Wei Zheng was seriously ill. Li Shimin took the prince and Princess Douzi to visit Wei Zheng's mansion. Li Chengqian was sick on his feet and acted indecently, so he drove to Wei Zheng's mansion. Concubine Li Shu.

After visiting Wei Zheng, Li Anyan, General of the Zuo Tunwei Zhongying, came to the court meeting to play.

"Your Majesty, my ministers thought that the prince was the king. Now that he is sick, he is afraid that the image of the emperor will be damaged. Does the emperor think about it? I think the prince is the most important foundation of the country! Only by acting and being healthy can the hearts of the people in the world be at ease. , so that its glorious image is supported by the people."

"I know what you mean. Although the crown prince suffers from foot disease, he is still my eldest son. How can he lose the ancestral system and abandon the eldest son and appoint another son as the crown prince? Don't mention this again."

Unexpectedly, the confrontation between the emperor and the ministers made Li Chengqian even more nervous, and he already had the idea of ​​intensifying his rebellion.

The reason is that this guy doesn't know that his father has no idea of ​​easy storage, but he is very afraid that his younger brother Li Tai, who is deeply loved by his father and also has the heart of seizing the throne, threatens his position, so he has the idea of ​​murdering Li Tai .

However, Li Tai took too strict precautions against his own safety. Li Chengqian sent people to secretly assassinate him several times, but he never found a suitable opportunity to do so.

Assassination of Li Tai failed, so Li Chengqian had to change his mind and asked people to pretend to be the official of Wei Wangfu to report various "crimes" of Wei Wang Li Tai to the court.

Li Shimin was furious, and ordered Zhou Shaofan, the general of the reconnaissance and cavalry division, in the hall.

"Search and arrest the person who wrote a false accusation against the King of Wei, and strictly investigate the person behind the scenes."

Zhou Shaofan got the edict, so that the detectives and cavalry department's various spies searched around Chang'an City, causing a lot of trouble in the city.

At this time, Li Tai saw that the prince was losing power, so he stepped up to press the prince step by step, and often made the ministers who were loyal to him and the court officials who had been bribed to slander the prince in front of his father. Easy to store thoughts.

Wei Zheng and Xuan Suiliang saw the emperor's mind, urged the emperor to think twice, and risked the crime of beheading.

"The crown prince is the foundation of the country. Although his behavior is immoral, he has no rebellious heart. The emperor should think twice."

Although Li Shimin wanted to make the crown prince easy for the well-behaved and lovely King Wei, he was often constrained by Qin Wenyuan's criticism of his indecisive and indecisive thoughts, and he was vacillating between Li Chengqian and Li Tai when it came to the crown prince. In the end, I made myself taste the bitter fruit of "should not stop, but suffer instead".

The crown prince Li Chengqian saw that the king of Wei was pressing on him step by step, and his father was becoming more and more indifferent to him. In addition, there were rumors everywhere in the government and the public that his position as prince might be abolished. In panic, Li Chengqian made a pre-emptive decision.

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian summoned Hou Junji, who was transferred to the Ministry of Officials, Li Anyan, the general of the forbidden army, Du He, the captain-in-law, and Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, conspired to rebel.

This guy is still too young, and he didn't know that some of the dead soldiers arrested during Li You's rebellion had already confessed to him, the method of the emperor's detective cavalry to monitor the East Palace, and Li Anyan, the general of the imperial army, was originally a good friend between the king of Wei and the crown prince. People, what they do is under the eyes of their father, so they have to act hastily under such unfavorable conditions, and the consequences can be imagined.

Li Chengqian was exposed before he could put the rebellion into action. A group of ministers who were loyal to him were beheaded and exiled.

After Li Yuanchang, king of the Han Dynasty, was gifted to death, Li Chengqian was deposed as a commoner and exiled to Qianzhou although he saved his life.

After Li Chengqian was deposed, Wei Wang Li Tai felt that his chance had come. Except for his younger brother Li Zhi, the princes in the court hardly had the qualifications to compete with him for the crown prince. My favorite, I took the opportunity of entering the palace to comfort my father to seek the crown prince, I swore in front of my father.

"My son is fortunate to be favored by my father. If my father appoints me as the crown prince, I will guarantee that I will kill my son and pass it on to my younger brother King Jin after a hundred years of succession."

This guy's words are very firm, but Li Shimin sees the cunning hidden in his eyes, and, for the sake of the throne, he has a vicious heart to kill his son. With a son with such a heart, do I dare to entrust the country to him?
Hearing what the king of Wei said, Li Shimin was secretly startled, and spoke to him in order to calm his restlessness.

"You go back to the mansion, wait for the father to discuss with the ministers slowly, then you will be made the crown prince."

Li Tai returned home happily, thinking that the crown prince belonged to him.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin fell into great contemplation on this matter, thinking about it in the imperial study all day long, with his wisdom, how could he fail to see Li Tai's thoughts, so he summoned many confidants to have a secret discussion, as Prince Li Xiaogong said.

"Your Majesty, according to what the old ministers see, the King of Wei is not enough to inherit the great rule. For the current plan, it is better to make Li Zhi, the King of Jin, the prince. I want the King of Jin to be simple-minded, and he has been taught by Xu Tian. If the Emperor can make Xu Tian assist Jin Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty can be preserved without any danger!"

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng also spoke aside.

"What the lord said, the ministers and others take it for granted. Thinking that Qin Wenyuan is so wise, what he did has no ambition to covet the great Tang Dynasty. If the emperor can treat this son with respect and make him have a heart-to-heart talk with him, the court will rebuild it at that time. The Duke of Qi’s mansion is Prince Qi’s mansion, and Qin Wenyuan was granted the title of King of Qi by imperial edict, and with Qin Wenyuan’s character of being soft but not hard, he will surely agree to the emperor’s request to assist the King of Jin.”

Li Shimin discussed secretly with many old ministers, and he has already made a grand plan for the inheritance of the empire. It is a pity that Wei Wang Li Tai has been dreaming of inheriting the crown prince all day long, but he does not know that his ending has been ruined by the urgency to obtain the crown prince. in the cruel heart.

In Wei Wang's mansion, Li Tai thought that his being crowned prince was a sure thing, so he spent all day drinking with his confidants in the mansion to celebrate the upcoming good things. He was really happy and refreshed!

The 15th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty is just around the corner, and it has been two years since Zhang Zhongjian went to sea. There is really no news about this trip. Xu Tian estimated that his uncle and others must have sailed to a farther country, and comforted Master Lu not to worry about his son Lu. Qingyun's safety concerns.

At that time, the basic construction of people's livelihood throughout the Northeast had been gradually improved. Under the governance of Queen Gaoqin, Goryeo's vitality, which had been severely injured by Yuan Gai Suwen's usurpation of the throne, was slowly restored. The Qin family army stationed in Goryeo and Silla, Xue Rengui's army stationed on the border of Baekje formed a confrontational trend. As the Koryo army continued to increase its troops in the Qin army's defense line, the Qin family army and the Koryo army had already surrounded Xue Rengui's troops.

This is Qin Wenyuan's strategic idea to make Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje a unified country. When the various ethnic groups in the Northeast were gradually assimilated, integrated into the life and folk customs of the Tang people, and relied on the economy of Liaodong and Liaoxi, he began to implement the "Qi" in his mind. The strategic pattern of the fiefdom under the rule of "king".

In Qizhou, the old prince Qin Changqing began to purposely bring his eldest grandson Xu Xiaofeng into contact with military and political affairs, and made many counselors of the Qin family and senior officials who were good at managing military affairs to be his eldest grandson's teachers, teaching him the ability to handle military affairs.

At that time, the financial resources of the Qin family had already surpassed that of Datang.

The value created by trade in Northeast China, Koryo, and Qizhou, as well as handicrafts, animal husbandry, wine making, minerals, and weaving in the lands beyond the Great Wall and Mobei, through countries along the land routes of Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia, and West Asia, and the Tang Dynasty Caravans in the interior were realized, and under the rule of the Xu family, all the people were proud of being registered in Northeast China and Qizhou.

Under such a good situation, there was an urgent report on the military situation of the "Dengzhou" navy.

"Report...! Head Zhang and his fleet have already returned, and they will arrive soon, so that the villain will take the fast boat and report to the prince before."

When Qin Wenyuan heard the news, he was overjoyed and led many officials from "Licheng" and the lords, wives, sons, and ladies from various mansions in "Xuanyuan" to "Dengzhou" in nearly a hundred exquisite carriages to witness this event. A great historical event.

The port of "Dengzhou" is very lively today. Ships of all sizes on the sea are drifting with the waves, all of them are waiting for the big ships that are about to enter the port and the warriors returning from the long voyage.

On the high lookout post, the sentinel holding up the binoculars to observe the situation on the sea surface shouted.

"I'm coming……!"

The messenger soldiers hurriedly reported to the temporary wooden platform on the coast where the ship was berthed.

"Report to the prince; the fleet has already entered the port and will arrive in a moment."

"Order to beat drums and fire cannons to welcome the warriors back!"

The letter soldiers got the order, and quickly returned to the navy camp to convey the prince's military order.

When one, two, and more and more large ships appeared on the sea, the sound of drums and dozens of cannons rang out on the coast.

As the three warships approached the shore slowly, and then the merchant ships all arrived. After the sailors and soldiers guided the small boat into the berth, the anchor was lowered on the large ship, and the string ladder was built, Zhang Zhongjian was seen wearing a robe that looked like an Arab nobleman. Surrounded by a crowd of fierce subordinates, he stepped off the big ship.

Qin Wenyuan got up to greet his uncle and said loudly.

"Uncle has come back from a long voyage. It has been a really hard journey for two years. Please take a seat and rest."

"Haha! Boy, do you know that the splendor of overseas makes uncle linger, so it's hard work."

Zhang Zhongjian and Qin Wenyuan came to Mutai to see his sister and brother-in-law while talking. Qiuniang's eyes were covered with tears, she pulled her brother to sit beside her and laughed.

"What kind of robe are you wearing? It looks weird."

"Hey! This is *** aristocratic clothing, I feel loose and comfortable wearing it, no matter what the style is."

While the fellow was talking, he took out several colorful jewels from his bosom, and stuffed them to several grandchildren of the Xu family who were next to Qiuniang. Xu Xiaoqian was so happy that she held the beautiful jewels and laughed loudly.

"Uncle and grandpa are the best, can you give Qian'er a few more for grandmother, mother and aunt."

"Wonderful, wonderful! The little girl already knows how to be filial to the elders, so you can take whatever treasures on the boat you like."

This remark made the villains of the Qin family very happy, and they all dragged their father Xu Tian, ​​intending to board the boat to have a look.

Just when Qin Wenyuan coaxed his children and made Zhou Cang protect Lu Yueer and other wives and children to board the ship, Lu Qingyun on the merchant ship was so high-spirited that he was surrounded by four men with black and blond hair and wearing skirts showing large breasts. hugged by a beautiful woman, except for his tanned skin, this boy's body is stronger than before. The only thing that remains unchanged is his round, fat face.

This guy brought a few beauties off the boat, and the appearance and clothes of the foreign women made the soldiers and civilians at the seaside make a fuss, and they all watched as if they were surprised.

The few beauties were not afraid of the crowd watching, and asked Lu Qingyun in the half-baked Datang language.

"Master; are all the men in your hometown so enthusiastic?"

"Silly girl; the men in my country are cuter than the men in your small country. Wait, look at those perverted eyes. Those eyes are not staring at your big breasts, hehe! Wear tighter clothes for you in the future, so that you will be exposed." .”

"Hee hee! Take a look and you won't lose it..."

Just when this guy was arguing with a few foreign women about clothing, Lu Yue'er was already looking at her younger brother, and seeing him busy laughing and joking with a few goblin women, she couldn't help being savage and angrily reprimanded him.

"Lu Qingyun; why don't you rush to see your father when you get off the boat, but play with these witches here? I think your skin is itchy, so why don't you roll over for my sister?"

The wives who were with Lu Yue'er couldn't help blushing when they saw the foreign woman's naked breasts, and hurriedly covered the eyes of the children who followed them, for fear of teaching them badly.

Lu Qingyun met his sister with a "hehe" laugh, and asked the housekeeper to take the sisters to the merchant ship he was on first.

"Sister; there are gifts from me on board for you, sisters, brother-in-law, nephews, and nieces. Go on board and have a look, and take whatever you like. This time our family is going to be very rich. My younger brother will go to see his father and mother first. "

After this guy coaxed his sister away, he actually shouted at several foreign women.

"Girls, follow your master to meet our old master!"

Lu Yue'er and her sisters smiled wryly at Lu Qingyun's absurd things and shook their heads in silence.

The women laughed and laughed generously and nodded to Lu Yueer and other elegantly dressed ladies, and then followed Lu Qingyun to the wooden platform.

Seeing his brother-in-law Qin Wenyuan, father Lu Yuanming and mother, this little boy bowed down imitating the etiquette of foreign nobles and said.

"Son pays respects to father and mother, respects to elders, younger brother pays respects to brother-in-law!"

The funny look of this guy made everyone laugh "haha", Zhang Zhongjian spoke to Master Lu from the side.

"Brother Lu, your son is really wonderful, but his ability to make friends is beyond my reach. The royal families, nobles, and merchant families of various countries are all guests. Look at the beauties around him, including the royal princesses of Persia and Egypt. Woolen cloth."
