Man Tanghong

Chapter 725
It is even more troublesome to kill officials above the fifth rank and above the earl, but it is even more troublesome to kill the county king, especially the emperor's cousin.

Only if he is involved in the crime of rebellion can he be killed.

Why is it possible?
Because after Li Yuan ascended the throne, he had a very high tolerance for his family.

Leaving aside, let’s talk about Li Xiaogong and Dou Gui.

Historically, both Li Xiaogong and Dou Gui were exposed by his subordinates as intending to rebel, but Li Yuan did not kill them, but transferred them back to Chang'an City, gave them high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and let them retire.

Therefore, if Li Xiaochang's intentions are wrong, there is no evidence, and he has not been caught, if he wants to kill him, there is a [-]% chance that Li Yuan will stop him.

Therefore, it is necessary to plan well, to lure out Li Xiaochang and his group, and to catch one of them, so that they can kill the killer.

"You like to play, I will accompany you to have fun..."

Li Yuanji stood in front of the imperial case and said with a sneer.

in the next few days.

As if nothing had happened, Li Yuanji went to court as usual, handled government affairs as usual, and walked around with Yang Miaoyan after returning to the palace as usual.

There was only one small episode in the middle, that is, on the second day after the Chuanguo Yuxi was put on the imperial case, Li Gang, Pei Ju, Xiao Yu and others who had been high-ranking officials in the former Sui Dynasty saw Chuanguo When I saw Yuxi, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.

Li Yuanji didn't put on a deliberate act of coercion, he didn't cover it with the Chuanguo jade seal, and he didn't show it around. He just put it there and happened to be seen by Li Gang and others who had seen the box of the Chuanguo jade seal.

Time flies, and it is the day of spring plowing.

Early in the morning, Li Yuanji brought all the civil and military officials to Liangyi Hall to invite Li Yuan out of the palace. After being rejected by Li Yuan, he took all the officials and all the female relatives out of the palace.

This includes Yang Miaoyan, a big belly woman, as well as women such as the eldest grandson, Zheng Guanyin, and Yuwen Zhaoyi.

A group of princes and grandsons who can walk and jump are also taken together.

According to the handed down etiquette, spring plowing is a collective activity.

On this day, not only the emperor had to go to the fields to plow the fields, but the queen and concubines also had to follow.

In short, as long as it is an individual, as long as it can be carried on the shoulders and carried in the hands, it must be all on the ground, regardless of men, women, old or young, or age.

After leaving the palace from Mingde Gate, a team of ten thousand people went straight to Huangzhuang in the southwest of Chang'an City.

The Huangzhuang in the southwest of Chang'an City is the largest Huangzhuang kept by the royal family. It has a full [-] mu of land. The land is quite fertile and can produce nearly [-] shi of grain every year.

During the spring plowing, all the people in the palace, as well as civil and military officials, went to sow the seeds in person, and the rest were taken care of by special personnel.

During the autumn harvest, these people also harvested.

On the way.

Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, Xie Shufang, and Hou Junji walked together.

After leaving the family members and generals behind, several people got together and chatted.

Hou Junji rolled his eyeballs and said, "Have you noticed that there is something strange around the carriage frame of Your Highness today?"

Luo Shixin glanced at Hou Junji, and was not impressed by this person who took the initiative to join them and expressed his closeness to them, so he replied flatly, "What's wrong?"

Hou Junji glanced in the direction of Li Yuanji's carriage in front and said, "Don't you realize that Yu Wenbao, who used to be by His Highness's side every step of the way, is now guarding by Wangfei's carriage?"

Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, and Xie Shufang were all taken aback for a moment, and then all looked up.

Su Dingfang couldn't help but said: "It's really..."

Hou Junji continued: "The rut marks on Wangfei's frame are also deeper than those of Your Highness."

Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, and Xie Shufang all thought of something.

Su Dingfang said calmly: "What can this explain?"

Hou Junji said as if you took me for a fool: "That doesn't explain anything?!"

Su Dingfang said casually: "Perhaps the princess is pregnant with Liujia. Your Highness is afraid that the princess will fall, so he added a lot of cushions inside."

Hou Junji said angrily, "The cushions in your house can weigh hundreds of catties?"

They are all people who are used to fighting on the battlefield, and they have dispatched food and grass, so they are all familiar with how deep ruts can be pressed by heavy vehicles.

He could tell from the rut marks that Yang Miaoyan's car weighed no less than a hundred catties, but he didn't believe that Su Dingfang and others couldn't tell.

"so what?"

Su Dingfang remained calm.

Hou Junji became anxious, "So something must have happened, you are His Highness' confidantes, you must know about it,"

Luo Shixin said honestly, "We don't know anything..."

Hou Junji was taken aback for a moment, and said doubtfully, "You really don't know anything?"

It's not that he doesn't trust Luo Shixin, but that he doesn't trust Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang.

Although Luo Shixin is an honest person, but with Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang around him, there are two ghostly guys around him, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not be taught badly, so he is testing whether what Luo Shixin said is true.

Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang shook their heads slowly.

Hou Junji said in a daze, "You really don't know?"

Su Dingfang gave Hou Junji a blank look, and said angrily, "You don't believe us, don't you believe Shixin? Shixin will lie to you?"

Hou Junji still couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but said, "I can tell you, I have turned my back on the dark and turned to the bright. For His Highness, I almost risked my life. Although I haven't been drawn into His Highness's confidant yet, my loyalty to His Highness, You all know that.

If you really hide something from me, we won't be able to get along in the future.

If His Highness gives you a gag order, you don't have to answer me, you just need to ride away. "

Su Dingfang was speechless towards Hou Junji, a suspicious and borderless fellow, "If you say you don't know, you don't know. If His Highness had given us a gag order, we would have left on horseback when you spoke just now. Still have to wait until now?"

Luo Shixin nodded without hesitation, expressing his agreement with Su Dingfang's words.

Xie Shufang said slowly: "We really don't know anything. Apart from meeting His Highness during court meetings, we have never met His Highness in private."

After hearing what Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang said, Hou Junji believed that Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang really didn't know anything.

"It seems that you really don't know anything."

Hou Junji let out a long breath, as if I was relieved.

It made Su Dingfang roll his eyes again.

Su Dingfang really wanted to know, why did Hou Junji think so much?
"What did you see, tell us, and we will help you with the details."

Xie Shufang couldn't help asking.

Hou Junji lowered his voice subconsciously and said, "Do you think the oxen crossbow is stuffed into the frame of Wangfei? Or is it an iron plate?"

The three of Su Dingfang did not show any surprise at this, as if they had already guessed it.

Xie Shufang shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be the Eight Bulls Crossbow. We saw the concubine get on the carriage with our own eyes. If there were Eight Bulls Crossbows inside, it would take at least two to reach a hundred catties.

Two eight-ox crossbows were enough to fill the carriage, and the princess couldn't get in at all. "

Then only the iron plate is left.

It is self-evident what Yang Miaoyan's frame is stuffed with iron plates.

"Someone wants to harm His Highness!"

"Then how do we deal with it?"

"..."

The four people stared at each other for a while, but none of them made up their minds.

Someone wanted to be unfavorable to Li Yuanji, but Li Yuanji didn't tell them, which meant that Li Yuanji didn't want them to intervene in this matter.

But as Li Yuanji's confidantes, they knew that someone was bad for Li Yuanji, but they still did nothing, that would be unreasonable.

"Brother Su, among us, you are the smartest. Tell me, what should we do?"

After thinking for a long time, Hou Junji threw this trouble to Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang frowned slightly and said: "If someone is really unfavorable to His Highness, His Highness should have put on armor by now. Who of you find an excuse to go up and see if His Highness is wearing armor? If so, then we We will gather the parts together and follow His Highness closely, and if there is any change, we will rush over to listen to His Highness's orders immediately."

Luo Shixin pondered for a while and said: "I'll go, I just want to report to His Highness the achievements of Chai Lingwu and others in learning martial arts in the past year."

Luo Shixin is still teaching martial arts to Chai Lingwu and others, and Chai Lingwu and others have performed well during their half-year military service.

It wouldn't be too abrupt to talk to Li Yuanji by reporting their learning results.

"Then it's up to you."

Su Dingfang nodded and told Luo Shixin to take a look.

Without any hesitation, Luo Shixin rode his horse and chased after the king's chariot.

in the car.

Li Yuanji was flipping through the battle report from Youzhou when he heard Luo Shixin's voice.

"Your Highness, I have taught Chai Lingwu and others for many years, and today I am here to report their achievements to you."

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Luo Shixin was doing to report the learning results of Chai Lingwu and others at this time.

Is this the time to say these things?

These, when can't we say, do we have to pick this time?
Although Li Yuanji was muttering in his heart, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Luo Shi, "Come up and talk!"

Since the marching team was very long and the king's chariot was in the middle of the team, the speed was not fast.

Luo Shixin only needs to ride his horse forward a few steps, rush to the shaft of the carriage, and he can climb onto the carriage with one leap.

Luo Shixin lifted the curtain of the carriage, and after entering the carriage, he stood at the door of the carriage and bowed: "Your Majesty..."

Li Yuanji waved his hand, signaling Luo Shixin to find a place to sit down and talk.

Luo Shixin found a spacious place in the carriage, knelt down, glanced at Li Yuanji, and said, "I have practiced Chai Lingwu, Wang Xuance, Yang Yuzhi, Yang Sizhi and others for more than half a year.

The minister found that Chai Lingwu's aptitude was fair, Wang Xuance's aptitude was the best, but Yang Yuzhi and Yang Sizhi's aptitude was mediocre. "

"Hmm! Then what?"

Li Yuanji stared at Luo Shixin suspiciously, looked around, and asked.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Luo Shixin's eyes were flicking on him.
