Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1338 Changan dispatch
In winter in Chang'an, the wind is fierce.

Towards dusk, it was snowing heavily.

The snowflakes are spreading, which seems to be endless.

Li Shimin was almost busy in the imperial study, and was about to go to the bedroom to rest. After all, there were many beauties in the harem, so he didn't want to delay the good time.

But at this moment, a palace official hurried over.

"My lord, Lord Gao Shilian please see me."

Hearing that Gao Shilian was coming, Li Shimin's face immediately turned a little disgusted, nothing else, because he knew what Gao Shilian came for.

A few days ago, news came from Jinling City that Qin Tian was protecting Hu Shiba.

For this matter, many people impeached Qin Tian in the court, Gao Shilian was the first to bear the brunt, but because he believed in Qin Tian, ​​he suppressed this matter.

But looking at Gao Shilian's appearance, he seemed unwilling to give up.

As the Son of Heaven, he can still see the grievances and grievances of the officials in the court very clearly, but most of the time, he has to pretend to be confused.

Of course, sometimes he also needs officials in the DPRK and China to be hostile to each other, so that a balance can be achieved.

The emperor's mind is nothing more than that.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin still asked the palace servants to bring Gao Shilian in.

After Gao Shilian came in, he began to speak.

"Your Majesty, the laws of the Tang Dynasty must be upheld. Hu Shiba killed someone, but Qin Tian protected him everywhere. How can the people of the Tang Dynasty believe that the laws of the Tang Dynasty are fair and selfless? If everyone is like this, we will Isn’t the law of the Tang Dynasty useless, my lord, Qin Tian must be severely punished.”

Seeing that what Gao Shilian said was true, Li Shimin became a little impatient and said, "What Gao Aiqing said is true. I already know about this matter. After I send someone to investigate clearly, I will definitely punish Qin Tian severely. It's not too early. , Gao Aiqing, go back."

Li Shimin seemed to agree with Gao Shilian's words, but he didn't make a clear statement, which made Gao Shilian feel uncertain.

"My lord, what's the point of investigating this matter, so many people have seen it, so as long as it is severely punished as soon as possible."

Li Shimin frowned, and said: "My laws of the Tang Dynasty have always paid attention to evidence. If there is no evidence to make a judgment, wouldn't it still be ignoring my laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

When it came to this, Li Shimin was already a little impatient.

He waved his hand and said, "I'm tired."

Gao Shilian wanted to say more, but after hearing this sentence, he knew that Li Shimin didn't want to say any more. He had no choice but to curl his lips and leave angrily.

It was still snowing outside, when Gao Shilian left the imperial study, a palace official hurried over, holding a secret letter in his hand.

Gao Shilian cast a glance, stopped the palace man, and asked, "Whose letter is it, but what happened?"

The palace servants were stopped, but they didn't dare to get angry, they could only suppress their anxiety and said, "A letter sent by Young Master Qin of Jinling City."

After finishing speaking, the palace servants didn't stop there, and hurried to the imperial study room.

Seeing this, Gao Shilian felt a little uneasy.

"Qin Tian's secret letter, what did it say?"

Gao Shilian was very curious, but he didn't dare to turn back, and he was definitely not qualified to see if it was all secret letters.

After thinking about it, I can only give up.

In the imperial study room, Li Shimin was really ready to leave.

At this time, the palace man hurried in.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow, I won't read it."

The beauty must be waiting anxiously in the harem, and Li Shimin is also a little anxious.

But after hesitating for a moment, the palace man still said: "My lord, a secret letter from Young Master Qin."

Hearing that it was Qin Tian's secret letter, Li Shimin sat down again. After receiving the secret letter and reading it, Li Shimin's expression changed slightly.

Afterwards, he walked back and forth in the imperial study room. The palace man stood beside him, but he didn't dare to say a word.

I'm afraid the matter is serious, the palace man thought.

After such a long time, Li Shimin suddenly ordered: "Go and call Cheng Chumo and others."

The palace man hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, now?"

It was getting late, and it was still snowing heavily outside.

Li Shimin nodded: "Now, hurry up." '

The palace people didn't dare to hesitate, and hurried out of the palace.

When Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and the others entered the palace, it was already after dusk, the sky was already dark, even the curfew was already in place, but because of the snow, it seemed that the hall was still bright.

Cheng Chumo and the others were a little puzzled, why did Li Shimin call them here at this time?

If something really happened, it should be their father, not them.

To be honest, although they have made a lot of contributions with Qin Tian and now have official positions in the imperial court, they really don't feel that they can be independent.

Entering the Imperial Study Room, Qin Huaiyu asked, "Your Majesty, why are you announcing us to enter the palace at this time?"

Li Shimin glanced at them and said, "I need you to do something."

"Please ask the Holy One to order."

"I will give you [-] soldiers and horses, and you will take these soldiers and horses to Jinling City..."

Li Shimin told Cheng Chumo and others about the situation. After Cheng Chumo and others listened, they were taken aback for a moment, and then said without any hesitation, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will surely fulfill my mission."

Li Shimin nodded: "Okay, you start tomorrow, the sooner the better."

Several people knew the seriousness of the matter, so they didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly responded.

After saying this, they finally left the palace.

At this time, heavy snow was still falling, and several people looked at each other without saying anything.

"see you tomorrow."

"okay, see you tomorrow."

After speaking, they each dispersed.

The heavy snow in Chang'an City kept falling, and when the night got darker, only the sound of snow falling could be heard in the entire Chang'an City.

Silence, silence.

Early the next morning, Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo got up. After getting up, they assembled their soldiers and horses and rushed towards Jinling City.

The snow didn't stop, but it was urgent and they had to hurry.

Their father already knew what was going on, so they went in such a hurry, Cheng Yaojin and others didn't have any objections.

As for this matter, they are more pleased.

This matter is very serious. Li Shimin sent their son there because he trusts their son, and ordinary people really can't handle such a big matter. From this we can see Li Shimin's attitude towards their son.

This attitude will make them feel more at ease in the days to come.

3 soldiers and horses are not a small number, so when they left Chang'an City, even though it was still snowing in Chang'an City, they still attracted the attention of many people.

Immediately afterwards, many people couldn't help but speculate.
