Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 53 Three: I: I am a saint and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty

into the night.

Hold the lamp.

Inside the Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin is still waiting for news from Hui Wen Guan.

The wide open door of the palace made the entire Taiji Palace look like a huge beast with its bloody mouth open and ready to attack, peeping at everything in Chang'an City from a distance.

When the man in black robe appeared in Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin looked at the flickering lights of Chang'an City through the palace door. After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"Any news?"

"Going back to the Saint, the Huiwen Hall is still heavily guarded. The ministers and others could not get closer and could only see some of the situation inside from the outside. The seven family heads did not leave the Huiwen Hall for even half a step. Before Chang'an City was locked up tonight, Only one person came out of the Huiwen Hall."

The man in black robe bowed his head and reported back.

Li Shimin thought for a moment and asked, "The former owner of Liuli Pavilion?"

"Yes."

"I was investigating the outside of the Hui Wen Museum and saw this man driving a carriage to leave the Hui Wen Museum and return to his home in Xinghuafang. After this man left, the Hui Wen Museum closed the door tightly and no one was there anymore. Came out."

Li Shimin understood.

Yes.

If only one person left the Huiwen Hall today, it would be this person who doesn't seem to have much to do with Wu Xing Qi Wang.

"plum?"

"Surnamed Li?"

"The Li family in Longxi, the Li family in Zhaojun."

"Li Huaian, Huaizi?"

Li Shimin was thinking to himself, as if he wanted to find some differences among them.

But no matter how he tastes it.

He couldn't tell any difference from it.

Because judging from the information found, this person named Li Huaian, the former owner of Liuli Pavilion, does not seem to be from the two Li clans, and has no connection with their royal family Li surname.

In other small clans with the surname Li, it is impossible for such a person to appear without being discovered.

Li Shimin picked up a confidential letter from the desk, which contained some investigative information about Li Huaian. This information was also investigated and compiled by the man in black robes.

This information has been investigated for several months.

It started when Liuli Pavilion attracted people's attention.

Li Shimin asked the men in black robes to investigate.

"It first appeared near Chang'an City, in the deep mountains and old forests of Shanxia Village. To the villagers of Shanxia Village, they were said to be hunters in the mountains, and they went deep into the mountains to avoid war."

"The household registration is being handled by the village at the foot of the mountain."

these data.

If there were no Liuli Pavilion, there would be no Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.

Li Shimin might believe it.

But there is Liuli Pavilion.

This is more like a fake cover-up.

Coupled with some information investigated from Liuli Pavilion, there are only a few words obtained from the female clerks when Liuli Pavilion was still in Li Huaian's hands.

This person named Li Huaian should have connections overseas.

Only then was it possible to open a Liuli Pavilion specializing in selling colored glaze in Chang'an City.

Orion.

overseas.

Li Shimin looked at the words in the secret letter.

a long time.

Only then did he put the secret letter away again, but the information he got was too little. Even if he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't sort out a reason and didn't know the secrets.

because.

This man named Li Huaian came to Chang'an City from overseas, and there was no sign of him passing by.

It was like the whole person appeared out of thin air in Chang'an City and deep in the mountains of Shanxia Village.

The point is.

The men in black robes searched deep in the mountains of Shanxia Village and indeed found a wooden house with signs of habitation.

mystery.

It was all the feelings Li Huaian gave Li Shimin.

Li Shimin rubbed his brows and waved away the man in black robe who was kneeling in the hall. He did not blame the man in black robe for his incompetence in doing things.

As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he also understood that if the Five Surnames and Qi Wang were so easy to deal with, he, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, would not have to stoop to compromises with these wealthy families in order to have useful people for the court.

These aristocratic families were the lingering stumbling block for the Tang Dynasty.

It is still a stumbling block that cannot be beaten or killed.

They were worried about how to free the Tang Dynasty from the shackles of aristocratic families, and how to free the Tang Dynasty from its dependence on the Five Surnames and Qiwang, so that in the end, all the officials in the Tang Dynasty Hall came from officials under the Qiwang family of the Five Surnames.

if that's the case.

This Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty of his Li family, or the Tang Dynasty with the five surnames and Qi Wang. This Tang Dynasty is the court of him, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, or the court with the five surnames and Qi Wang.

The officials who filled the court were listening to the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, or to the orders of the family heads of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.

As the leader of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin had a vague feeling that this man named Li Huaian was very unusual and might be the key to him restricting these aristocratic families.

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out.

How can this person restrain the powerful family?

Between thoughts.

time flies.

With his eyes closed, Li Shimin was like a trapped animal that had entered a dead end and didn't know how to find the exit. Looking around, it seemed as if all the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty were standing around.

He held the ring-hand knife that he had used on the battlefield and glared at the wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty standing in front of him. He wanted to fight for the Tang Dynasty and carry out decisive killings like they did in the early days of the Tang Dynasty. All the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty were killed to clear the way for the future of the Tang Dynasty.

A murderous intention filled the Tai Chi Palace.

The eunuch Zhang Ananda who was waiting on the side was frightened. This was the second time in ten years that he felt such a strong murderous intention coming from a saint.

The first time was during the night of the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

"saint."

Out of concern for the saint, Zhang Anang looked at the time, carefully came to Li Shimin's side, and called out softly, hoping to wake Li Shimin out of his murderous intention.

"Ok?"

Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Ananda.

Zhang Ananda bowed and lowered his head and said: "Sage, it's getting late. Do you need to take a shower and change clothes, and send me some dinner?"

"no need."

Li Shimin asked again: "What is Li Zhengdian doing now?"

Full of murderous intent.

Although interrupted by Zhang Anan.But the anger born in his heart was still there and it was difficult to calm down, so he now needed someone to comfort him.

And in the palace, there are people who can do it.

There is only the queen of Li Zhengdian, his Guanyin maid.

Zhang Ananda replied: "Sage, the lights in the Zhengzheng Hall are still on. It seems that the Queen has not yet gone to bed. If the Saint wants to go to the Zhengdian, I will ask someone to go ahead and inform the Queen."

"Well, there's no need to notify you, just go to the Li Zheng Palace directly."

He said he was going to the Li Zheng Palace.

In fact, it did not leave the scope of Tai Chi Palace.

Because Li Zheng Palace is located in Tai Chi Palace.

It's just a few steps away from Tai Chi Palace.

"Your Majesty, this servant sees that the saint is coming."

The maid on duty outside the Li Zheng Hall saw the direction of Tai Chi Palace from a distance. There was a lantern with lighting coming towards here. Judging from the posture, it seemed that the saint was coming.

The palace maid hurriedly ran in to inform.

"Go and bring the soothing soup to calm the mind and nourish the heart. The saint will come soon and bring it to him."

After hearing this, Queen Changsun had no intention of getting up to greet her. She was still sitting on the couch making clothes, and casually ordered the maid next to her to bring over the tonic soup that had been simmering on the fire.

"The slave is going here."

The ladies in the Imperial Palace are also used to this.

Every day, the Queen will prepare a bowl of tonic soup in advance, which either calms the mind and nourishes the heart, or clears the heart and activates blood circulation.

If a saint comes to the Rishengjeon Hall to sleep, he will drink in the Riseijeongjeon Hall.

If the saint does not come to the Li Zheng Palace, then send him to the Tai Chi Palace before the saint goes to bed.

In short, the tonic soup prepared by Li Zhengdian for the saint every day is an unshakable thing, and it is also something arranged by the empress herself.

Empress Changsun had just finished ordering the maids to bring the soup.

Li Shimin walked into the Li Zheng Hall, and was greeted by the palace maids and eunuchs. He came to the side of Empress Changsun. Without saying a word, he sat down on the recliner next to him and looked at Empress Changsun who was still busy.

"Guanyin maid, what kind of soup can you drink today?"

Hear the sage's question.

The palace maid took advantage of the situation and served the tonic soup that just came.

"Sage, today is the soothing and heart-soothing soup prepared by the empress for you."

Li Shimin glanced at the soothing and nourishing soup that the palace maid carried on the tray, and without hesitation, he picked it up and felt the temperature of the soup bowl. It was very suitable, and he drank it in one gulp.

He said while placing the soup bowl on the tray held by the palace maid.

"Guanyin, the soup today is too weak and not strong enough."

"Erlang, this soothing and nourishing soup should naturally be lighter. If it's too strong, it won't be able to soothe the mind and nourish the heart."

Empress Changsun put down the clothes she was about to finish, waved the maids around her to retreat, came to Li Shimin's side, stretched out her hands, and gently rubbed his temples.

Wait until all the palace ladies retreat outside the Li Zheng Hall.

Queen Changsun said softly.

"If Erlang has something that's bothering me, if it doesn't interfere with it, you can tell me about it. Maybe after you tell me, you will be more enlightened."

Li Shimin had no idea that Empress Changsun was interfering in the government affairs. He closed his eyes, enjoying the comfort of his head, and told what happened in Tai Chi Palace just now.

Wait until the talk is over.

Queen Changsun asked thoughtfully: "Erlang wanted to know why the heads of the seven families with the fifth surname and Qiwang came to Chang'an City. He also met a man in the Huiwen Hall who had some involvement with the fifth surname and Qiwang, but the involvement was not very big. people."

"This person is the former owner of Liuli Pavilion mentioned by Erlang."

"This person named Li Huaian may be from overseas and has been living in Chang'an City for a year."

"All the things related to this person that have been found are only two years old."

"This person first appeared in the mountains near a village in Chang'an. He was said to be a hunter who was fleeing the war."

"To put it simply, a person who may be an Orion, but may come from overseas, also opened a shop selling colored glaze."

"And what Erlang is wondering about is what is the connection between these things, and what is the connection between this person and Qi Wang, the fifth surname. He also wants to know what happened in the Huiwen Hall today?"

"I don't know if what I said is right."

Li Shimin nodded and agreed with Queen Changsun's conclusion.

"Yes, I am just worried about these things. Does Guanyin Maid have any ideas?"

Done.

Li Shimin closed his eyes, stretched out a hand, pulled one of Queen Changsun's hands in front of him, put it on his chest, put the other hand on the handle of the recliner under him, and touched the handle of the recliner.

"Speaking of which, the recliner sent by the supervisor is also somewhat related to this person named Li Huaian. There was a master craftsman named Wu in the workshop under the Ministry of Works who once worked for this person."

"That is, he participated in the construction of Liuli Pavilion."

"Since that time, Master Wu has undergone great changes. He led a group of craftsmen to take on a lot of jobs in Chang'an City."

"Not long ago, Master Wu led a group of craftsmen to open a shop selling this new type of utensils."

"Business is so prosperous that every wealthy family in Chang'an City uses it as a prestige to buy this kind of furniture."

"I don't believe it if you say that Master Wu has nothing to do with this man named Li Huaian."

Empress Changsun said unexpectedly: "So, these new things recently added to the palace have something to do with this person."

"These furniture are quite good and add a lot of novelty to the palace."

"Speaking of which, this person named Li Huaian is a rare talent. I am more curious about this person."

Li Shimin asked: "These tables and chairs are really good and very comfortable to use. I don't know what to do with this person."

Empress Changsun smiled softly and reminded: "Did Erlang fall into a misunderstanding and make the whole thing too complicated."

"Oh, how to put it." Li Shimin opened his eyes, doubts in his eyes.

Empress Changsun said directly: "Erlang is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The five surnames and Qiwang cannot be suppressed overnight. You need to take your time and don't be too hasty."

"But the person named Li Huaian that Erlang was talking about is not a person with the fifth surname and Qiwang, nor has he found a very complicated background. In the final analysis, he should also be a white person."

"Even if you come back from overseas."

"As an emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Erlang can call this person to the palace and ask him clearly in the name of recruiting talents."

"Whether it's today's Huiwen Museum or the origin of this person."

"Erlang is the saint of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He controls the life and death of the world. Sometimes, not only do you have to be kingly, but you should also be domineering."

"Why worry about such a simple thing? Sometimes, there are some things that you don't need to think too complicated and can be explained straight away."

Queen Changsun was reminded like this.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and then he remembered that he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, a saint in the mouth of the people. There was no need to be secretive about some things, like those aristocratic families who did things in secret.

Figured out.

Mastery of ideas.

Li Shimin stood up from the recliner and looked at Empress Changsun. Although he was no longer angry, he felt a little more greedy for Guanyin.

"Guanyin maid."

"Erro."

But Li Huaian didn't know that today he not only reached a settlement with Qiwang of the Five Surnames and received sufficient compensation, but he was also remembered by Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

but.
