Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 417 Chen Dade Returns

Listening to Yu Zhining's words, Li Shimin was extremely disappointed with Li Chengqian.

But because of this, Li Shimin began to think carefully instead. Is a prince who wants to be Li Simo's general and longs for Huren culture really suitable to be his successor?
Li Shimin couldn't help but came to the palace of Empress Changsun. Only here could Li Shimin feel a moment of relaxation and truly quiet his mind.

"Second brother, why are you here at this hour today?" Empress Changsun couldn't help but wonder.

Normally, at this time, Li Shimin should be reviewing the memorial at the Tai Chi Hall, but why did Li Shimin come to his palace today.

"Guanyin servant girl, come and take a look!" Li Shimin said and showed the memorial of Yu Zhining suing Li Chengqian during this period to Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun took the memorial from Li Shimin's hand and looked carefully.

Looking at Li Chengqian's detailed faults above, Empress Changsun's face turned pale, and she knelt down in front of Li Shimin,

"The concubine will definitely discipline Chengqian more, and will not let Chengqian make such a mistake again."

Empress Changsun really couldn't believe that Li Chengqian, who was extremely well-behaved in front of her, actually did so many ridiculous things in the Queen's East Palace, which made Empress Changsun feel guilty.

When the trade goes smoothly and the common people come to hear the benefits, then no one can resist this trend.

When Qingque's plan is fully launched, it will naturally be able to win Goguryeo to the maximum extent.

Of course, these are just polite words. The real reason is that because Datang is dominated by the military system, it always fights the kind of short, smooth and fast wars, and avoids two-line battles as much as possible.

It's just that Chen Dade was from the Chen family in Yingchuan, so he was really embarrassed to say that the Tian family replaced Qi.

"Whether King Goguryeo or the powerful minister named Gai Suwen intends to reach an agreement with Datang, and they all agreed!"

Anyway, according to Chen Dade's idea, this Gai Suwen is at most a Tian family in place of Qi, and he will be in Goguryeo.

Even if his position was obtained by a coup d'état, he still hopes to establish the eldest son system.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and knew in her heart that Li Chengqian was more or less shaken in Li Shimin's heart.

On the contrary, he was happy when he should be happy, and angry when he should be angry. Even if he cried and cried, Li Shimin had experienced it several times in front of his courtiers.

These Chinese people asked their relatives how they survived, and the minister replied, "all are well." It's just that in the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty, ten rooms were empty, and this matter was nothing more than consolation. "

But to be honest, both Li Chengqian and Li Tai are his own sons, not to mention that Empress Changsun feels that she owes Li Tai a lot. At this time, Empress Changsun wanted to talk, but found that she was partial to neither it is good.

They are people who have experienced the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty. To be honest, even they don't understand at all why the Sui Dynasty, which looked like a prosperous dynasty at the beginning, is so finished.

Even if the opponent is from five families and seven surnames, as the commander of the Xuanjia Army, he doesn't need any reason to deal with them.

"From Lu Deming to Yu Zhining, how many virtuous people I have arranged, as long as Li Chengqian has a kind heart, why is this!"

After all, no matter Qingque or Chengqian, they are all sons to Empress Changsun, so I'm afraid it's not good to help either one!
Li Shimin patted Empress Changsun, then said calmly: "Give Chengqian another chance and let him learn from Wei Zheng!"

Chen Dade replied to Li Shimin and Chen Ken, "They are very active in selling a large number of Goguryeo's specialties."

"Reporting to the sage, I first entered Goguryeo and showed my preference for knowing the customs of the mountains and rivers. As a result, I gave silk and satin to the local officials as a gift to the local officials, expressing that I like to look around. The local officials liked the silk and satin very much, so they took the initiative to serve as the minister's tour guide. .”

Empress Changsun hesitated slightly, but she still nodded in the end.

"Your Majesty, please mourn!" Wei Zheng stood up and said, "This is the cholera of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. If the saints hadn't cleaned up the mountains and rivers, I'm afraid we wouldn't be mourning the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty as we are today!"

And Chen Dade continued, "A few days later, the people of the Sui Dynasty wept and told each other, and wept loudly as they watched, all over the countryside."

At this moment, Chen Dade also hurriedly said: "The king of Goguryeo was terrified when he heard of Gaochang's demise, so he came to the embassy to greet him more frequently than before."

"If you want to come to Chen Shaoqing, you might get something." Du Ruhui looked at Chen Dade and said.

But when it comes to the prince, it's hard to say whether he is the future emperor, at least he is the current emperor's own son, so he can't be careless.

But if King Goguryeo dies... then the future situation of Goguryeo may fall into the hands of Gai Suwen! "

However, Li Shimin had the idea of ​​getting Li Tai back, but he didn't do it right away.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, but patiently waited for the arrival of the end of the year.

When Chen Dade heard Li Shimin's question, he immediately said with a serious expression:

If another navy is sent out of Dongnae, directly driving Pyongyang from the sea, encircled by water and land, it will not be difficult to capture Goryeo.

"It's really my fault that the Chinese can't be allowed to return to the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin said with tears streaming down his face when he heard this.

The more Li Chengqian thought about it, the more he felt that his thinking made sense, and decisively sent the assassins Zhang Shizheng and Hegan Chengji to assassinate Yu Zhining.

"How is the situation in Goguryeo?!" Li Shimin said to Chen Dade in a deep voice.

But the problem now is that the older his eldest son is, the more biased he is, so it's not impossible to change to a second son who is the same as himself.

"Take care of this person!" Li Shimin said calmly, "The way to lead the weak and the strong is to bring disaster. In the future, if I, Tang Dynasty, want to recover Goguryeo, I'm afraid it will fall on this person in the end!"

What if I caught them now and they insisted that they just came here to steal.

Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin, "This man is the leader of the Goguryeo Shunnu tribe. He has great power in the Goguryeo court and can even compete with the Goguryeo king.

Hearing Chen Dade's words, several people present could not help but fall silent.

Chen Dade nodded and said, "As far as I can see, most of the suburban people are Chinese. They joined the army at the end of the Sui Dynasty and lived with Gaoli.

At least for Li Shimin, Li Chengqian is really far behind compared to Li Tai who is dedicated to the great Tang step by step.

At this time, Empress Changsun listened to Li Shimin's words, more or less hesitated in her heart, and unconsciously scratched.

Chen Dade Chen Ken said to Li Shimin.

They walked to Yu Zhining's house, looked at the house that even dogs disliked, then shook their heads and walked out together!
This makes Li Junxian how to arrest people!

And when Li Chengqian discovered Yu Zhining's informant, he felt a burst of anger in his heart.
"Yu Zhining's fourth-rank official position is due to the credit of Qingque. He probably wants to go down by himself to pave the way for Qingque."

This froze several people in the Xuanjiawei who were waiting for them to come and get the stolen goods in the cold wind.

"Gai Suwen is a minister of power?" Li Shimin thought of this, and couldn't help asking, "Can you use him to check and balance the King of Goguryeo?"

Li Shimin asked Chen Dade to go down. After all, if something reaches a certain level, it is naturally allowed to know, but if your level is not enough, then the corresponding news will be blocked.

Li Shimin thought of this, and said to Chen Dade, "Whether the plan to buy a large amount of ginseng, deer antler and fur from Goguryeo has been reached with the Goguryeo people!"

Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun who hesitated to speak, and he also understood the hesitation in Empress Changsun's heart.

Li Shimin sighed, but said very seriously,
"The reason why Qing Que left Chang'an was because she found out that the matter had something to do with the palace, so she chose to go back to Luoyang to avoid it.

However, the two of them entered Yu Zhining's residence, and seeing Yu Zhining's dilapidated and miserable home, which did not look like what a fourth-rank official's home should look like, they couldn't help admiring them, and retreated silently.

Otherwise, whether the imperial court can support it is another matter. At least Fang Xuanling will never agree to his plan.

"If Chengqian is, if..." Li Shimin couldn't help it when he said this, but he didn't continue.

The reason is very simple, Li Tai has been in Henan Yin's office for almost four years, and the tax revenue will be put into the treasury at the end of this year, and it is actually quite feasible for Li Tai to be dispatched to the court at that time.

It is rumored that he was stationed in the city and defended against the attack of Emperor Sui Yang, so he was quite domineering! "

"Call Qingque back..." Empress Changsun was taken aback when she heard Li Shimin's words, she didn't expect Li Shimin to be like this.

However, the body had already been dumped, and Zhang Sizheng, the guard of the Prince's Mansion, was finally found. Not long after he found out about this, Yu Zhining came to write a letter! "

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Goguryeo was originally the four counties established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If my Tang Dynasty mobilizes tens of thousands of troops to attack Liaodong, Goryeo will definitely save the country.

Because the Tian family is considered a branch of the Chen family, if you say it from yourself, it will really have a bad influence.

After all, the matter involved the prince, Yu Zhining appealed the same advice as Zhang Xuansu, if Zhang Xuansu would be assassinated, then Yu Zhining might also be assassinated.

Li Shimin didn't delay for a moment, so he called Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and Li Jing over. Among them, Li Shiji didn't come when he beat Xue Yantuo, but he also added Cen Wenwen to listen to Chen Dade's report.

"Get up, it's none of your business!" Li Shimin quickly helped Empress Changsun up, and said calmly,

Perhaps it was officially opened in the hands of Li Shimin at this moment. It's not that Li Shimin didn't want the eldest son to inherit, but Li Chengqian really disappointed Li Shimin.

Because it is a small thing to catch the two of them, but if it affects the relationship between the saint and the prince, then he will die.

She understood why Li Shimin came looking for her, and why Li Shimin called Qingque back, which was related to the struggle of the next generation.

To be honest, Wei Zheng could also feel that compared with other emperors, Li Shimin seemed to have no idea what it meant to be indifferent.

As for Gai Suwenhui violently killing civil and military officials, and then going to kill the King of Goguryeo, there has never been such a brutal power minister in history.

"Second brother means that this matter was done by Chengqian!" Empress Changsun couldn't help but lose her voice when she heard Li Shimin's words.

It's just that the prefectures and counties in the Kanto area are withered and have not yet recovered. I don't want to tire the people anymore. "

After all, this is the prince's person, even if he has Li Shimin's order, he must be more cautious.

There is no need for me to forcibly dispatch Li Tai to Chang'an now.

"Call Qingque back." Li Shimin said seriously.

Zhang Xuansu was assassinated, and the assassin was a Turk who was protected by Chengqian. Although I suppressed Sun Fujia and continued to investigate, Li Junxian had already found out the murderer who assassinated Zhang Xuansu.

When this matter was still gradually fermenting, Chen Dade, who was sent to Goguryeo as an envoy, returned.

If it wasn't for conclusive evidence, then Li Junxian would never do it.

To be honest, great joy and great sorrow are the most likely to hurt the body, so Wei Zheng quickly stood up to persuade Li Shimin to show his emotions.

And this year everyone is planning to beat Xue Yantuo, so let's put Goguryeo aside for a while.

Li Shimin waited until Chen Dade left, and said to Fang Xuanling, "When dealing with Goguryeo, pay more attention to this guy named Gai Suwen."

"Second Brother, what are you going to do!" Empress Changsun has regained her composure. Since Li Shimin came to discuss with her, one can know that Li Shimin has no intention of abolishing Li Chengqian, which is very important to Empress Changsun.

As for Li Chengqian's actions, Li Shimin only issued an edict to reprimand him, at least now is not the time to deal with Li Chengqian.

So Li Junxian focused on Yu Zhining, but what Li Junxian didn't expect was that these two killers still had humanity.

"I saw that King Goguryeo was very afraid of Gaisuwen, and I felt that at least in a short period of time, there should be no conflict between King Goguryeo and Gaisuwen.

Chen Dade did not expect that after he returned to the court, he would be surrounded by such a large group of high-ranking officials that he would never have access to. Originally, Chen Dade thought that he would just report to Gao Jifu.

Li Shimin couldn't help saying this, "And do you still remember that Qingque was assassinated near Honglu Temple?"

"Reporting to the sage, his name is Yuan Gai Suwen, but because he avoids taboos from our ancestors, we generally call him Quan Gai Suwen or Gai Suwen!"

Although it is said that Empress Changsun arranged Li Tai to a place for Li Chengqian to succeed to the throne smoothly.

Everyone couldn't help but looked at each other, at least the plan was well laid out.

Empress Changsun let out a long sigh, but she also felt a little tired for a while. Compared with Li Shimin who can talk to herself and talk to her, Empress Changsun herself has no idea who she should talk to.

"I understand!" Fang Xuanling and others saluted Li Shimin, expressing their understanding.

At this moment, a guard came over happily and reported in a hurry:
"Great joy, great joy, the British Duke personally led 20 Bingzhou cavalry to defeat 3000 Xue Yantuo's army in Nuozhenshui, beheaded [-] people, took more than [-] prisoners, and captured [-] horses!"

"Haha, Mao Gong won!" Li Shimin couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "I'm afraid Xue Yantuo will lose his vitality this time!"

"This battle is enough to establish ten years of peace in the north!" Du Ruhui said decisively,
"Even if Yinan is dead, it is not impossible to completely destroy Xue Yantuo, the British Duke has made great contributions!"
