Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 727 Sandpipers and clams compete for the fisherman's profit
Chapter [-]

In the prison of Taiyuan City, six thick braziers were flickering with flames, making the entire prison look eerie.The assassin with disheveled hair, his collarbones on both shoulders were passed through by iron chains, and fixed on a thick shelf.The assassin was dressed in a mid laner, with disheveled hair, cuts and bruises all over his body, and a messy beard on his face. His whole body was thin and out of shape, only his two eyes were shining, and there was blood in them.

Changsun Wuji was dressed in official uniform, holding his nose, and paced in front of the assassin. Two officials, holding their breath, stood behind him with their heads bowed.

The two jailers held their whips, panting slightly.

Changsun Wuji asked with a drawn-out tone: "Ask you again, who ordered you to do it!"

The assassin let out a "bah", spit out bloody spit, and said with a hoarse smile: "Throughout the ages, there is no hero to be found, and Sun Zhongmou is there. The dance pavilion and song stage are always blown away by the rain. The grass and trees in the setting sun are ordinary. Lane Mo, where the slaves of humanity used to live. I think back then, gold and iron horses swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger..."

The muscles on Changsun Wuji's face twitched slightly. It's not like he didn't know this long and short sentence. It was Chen Yingchu who sang it at the banquet in the East Palace after he defeated Liu Wuzhou.Although the assassin did not say who was behind the scenes, the answer was self-evident.

Changsun Wuji approached the assassin's face, and said with a sneer, "I'm not afraid of death. Tell me, who is Sun Zhongmou? Who is Liu Jinu?"

He straightened up, wiped his nose gently with a towel, and said without changing his expression, "Keep beating!"

- clap clap
There was a crisp whip sound.

An official from the Ministry of Punishment stepped forward and said: "Take it easy, don't beat him to death, you won't be guilty of killing the criminal!"

Changsun Wuji left the prison, took a carriage instead, and headed for Taiyuan General Manager's Mansion.

In Li Shimin's study, Li Shimin sat in front of the desk, bowed his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood on both sides.

Du Ruhui couldn't believe it, and asked: "The assassin really said that?"

Changsun Wuji glanced at him, and replied lightly: "That's the case, can I still lie about this matter? The truth is the truth, and it can't be fake!"

Du Ruhui shook his sleeves heavily, and asked, "Sun Zhongmou, Liu Jinu, is this something you should ask?"

Sun Zhongmou and Sun Quan were the founding emperors of Eastern Wu, Liu Jinu was Liu Yu, and the founding emperor of Liu Song in the Southern Dynasties. Such characters are not human subjects. Now Changsun Wuji obviously has an attitude of inducing confessions.

It's okay to put it here, but once Princess Pingyang hears the news, it will offend Princess Pingyang to death.In the snowstorm last year, Princess Pingyang rescued the poor and saved countless lives, and was affectionately called the Living Bodhisattva by the people in Guanzhong.Li Xiuning's reputation is very good, both in the government and the public, and among the people.

In this day and age, the common people accept that Li Xiuning is a good person, and anyone who opposes Li Xiuning must be a bad person. Among other things, these ordinary people dare to smash your black bricks, or throw feces at night when there is no one else.Kong Yingda, one of the bachelors of Prince Qin's Mansion, accidentally said something when he was drunk, that there are no heroes in the current situation, which made Zhu Zi famous.

As a result, Kong Yingda in Chang'an couldn't even buy vegetables, and no one was willing to work for Kong Yingda's house. Even those who collected night incense did not go to Kong Yingda's house to collect night incense.

Kong Yingda was smoked by Ye Xiang at home for more than ten days, and then came to the door to kowtow to Li Xiuning to admit his mistake, and the matter came to an end.

Fang Xuanling said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, I think this assassin should be sent to Chang'an Criminal Department or Dali Temple, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will watch and interrogate him!"

Changsun Wuji became anxious immediately: "Let the crown prince check Chen Ying, it's better to let the left hand of the East Palace check the right hand, it would be a strange thing to find out."

Li Shimin's eyelids were drooping, and he asked calmly: "If the prince is not allowed to investigate, then who will?"

Changsun Wuji immediately said: "Such a big case, naturally it should be judged by Wutai (Yushitai) and the three divisions!"

Du Ruhui said calmly: "The six censors, three are from the East Palace, if the three divisions are to interrogate, it's just a formality, how to investigate or how to investigate...

Changsun Wuji spread his hands and said, "Why not? Chen Daduhu is the number one general in the Eastern Palace, how can such an opportunity be let go?"

Li Shimin spoke slowly: "The Son of Heaven is not confused yet!"

Changsun Wuji was taken aback.

Du Ruhui lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin said so!"

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was still puzzled, he explained: "What if the assassin was sent by himself?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned, and said with a sneer, "How is this possible?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "In the eyes of your Majesty and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, this is entirely possible. Since the defeat of Dingxiang in the Eastern Turks, we are attacking, the East Palace is defending, we are advancing, and the East Palace is retreating. In recent days, Wutai There are no less than a hundred memorials, forcing His Majesty to recall the king, and the faction has become a faction. At this time, any rash handling will involve the court. There is no conclusive evidence. Chen Ying should be dismissed and who will replace him. It seems that this is the precursor of His Majesty's easy storage. In this way, Prince Donggong, Pei Ju, Chen Ying, Li Yi, Li Shiji, including Li Yuan, who is about to be transferred to Youzhou, will all become targets of criticism from the government and the public. In such a situation, I am afraid Even His Majesty himself can't control it."

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath: "So... His Majesty still wants to keep Chen Ying?"

There was resentment in his tone.

Du Ruhui let out a deep breath: "The key is actually not here."

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were taken aback.

Tang Haoxin stood up, and the two stepped forward to hold his arms.

Du Ruhui walked slowly to the outside of the study, gently twirled his beard, and said, "The key is, who is responsible for this case."

The faces of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji changed color at the same time.

Changsun Wuji asked in a low voice, "Couldn't it be Chen Ying who did it?"

Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "You guys are blinded by party disputes and don't even think about it. It's really Chen Ying who settled this case. What good is it for the East Palace? This is His Royal Highness King Qin, and there are still doubts in His Majesty's heart. If His Highness King Qin is serious Unfortunate death, will His Majesty still have doubts? At that time, the wrath of thunder will fall on the heads of the Eastern Palace party. The Eastern Palace's change of position is certainly the intended meaning, but those who enter the Eastern Palace... "

Changsun Wuji was full of astonishment.

Fang Xuanling frowned in thought, the light in his eyes was flickering.

Li Shimin sighed and said: "In the affairs of the world, there are always gains and losses. If you want to gain the position of the Eastern Palace, you must give up the local authority. If you want local authority, you must give up the Eastern Palace. The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman benefits. "

Li Shimin was muttering, when suddenly a lightning flashed in his head, he muttered to himself: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins."

After a pause, Li Shimin looked at the crowd and said, "The solitary is a snipe, and the east palace is a clam. We compete with the east palace, and the fisherman wins. Who is the fisherman?"

……

"Clap clap clap..."

There were bursts of firecrackers crackling, and in front of the gate of the largest courtyard in Chenjiabao in Qinglin, there were clusters of flames.

Of course, the firecrackers at this time are not actually the firecrackers of later generations, but just a section of bamboo with some saltpeter stuffed in it, which burst out with noise during the burning process.

Countless children gathered in front of the gate of the courtyard, looking up at the large piece of red cloth on the plaque on the gate.

As the red cloth was uncovered, it revealed the powerful eight characters: "Datang University of Technology".

It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a university of science and technology. The courtyard only covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu, occupying the first three courtyards in the side wing of Chenjiabao.All the walls are covered with white ceramic tiles, which are white at first glance, and the sunlight shines on them, making them look dazzling.

Don't look at this courtyard, it doesn't look tall or majestic.However, the decoration is very practical. Each classroom has a fireplace installed and a fire is lit. No matter how cold it is, the inside is warm, even warmer than hiding in a kang.

That's right, it is the first industrial science and technology university in Wannian County, and of course it is also the first real industrial university in the entire Tang Dynasty.

However, this industrial university is relatively shabby, and there is not a single famous Confucianist.Even the signboard on this plaque was written by Li Xiuning begging Yu Shinan, otherwise he would not even be able to find a teacher who could write well.

However, Chen Ying was not worried.Anyway, he did not establish a foundation and establish a real university comparable to Meizijian.

Li Yuan was still very surprised when he heard that Li Xiuning was going to start a university.In this era, they all learned martial arts and sold them at the emperor's house.

Li Xiuning wanted to run a school, which naturally attracted Li Yuan's attention.When Yu Yanzhang told Li Yuan the information he found, Li Yuan was stunned: "If you don't teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and don't teach the way of saints, what kind of school is it?"

Li Xiuning also said eloquently: "Chen Lang has already said that this university absolutely does not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, nor does it teach the way of a sage. The courses I am most interested in are those who like painting to learn painting, those who like singing to learn singing, and those who like farming to learn farming! The husband I will hire in the future is also an elite from all walks of life. I want to use this school to cultivate A large number of elites from all walks of life, not a group of nerds who can only talk!"

Hearing Li Xiuning's strange remarks, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

However, Li Jiancheng gave Li Xiuning the most firm support. When Li Xiuning's Datang Industrial Science and Technology Opening Ceremony, Li Jiancheng brought all the staff from the East Palace to Chenjiabao to support him.

Since giving birth, Li Xiuning has lost a lot of weight.Especially her snow-white dress, coupled with the quiet and gentle smile on her face.She lost some weight, which is distressing.

At this moment, Wei Ting beside Li Jiancheng came in panic, holding a red bamboo tube, and an urgent report was unfolded, Li Jiancheng glanced at it, his brows were furrowed, and he said slowly: "Come on! "

Yu Chigong came over, bowed to Li Jiancheng and said, "His Royal Highness!"

Li Jiancheng said: "Get ready to drive, go back to the palace immediately!" All the officials of the Eastern Palace looked at Li Jiancheng in astonishment.

There was no smile on Li Jiancheng's stern face, and he said coldly, "I want to face the saint."
