"Hehe, not only the Cheng family and the Fang family, but almost everyone who beat up the Tubo ambassador with you last time. When they heard someone falsely accusing you that you used the Tubo slaves you bought to train your private soldiers, they did it for you. To help you share, they actually bought all the remaining Tubo slaves, and the reason for buying slaves is the same as yours, that is to use slaves to mine coal, but as far as I know, most of them don’t even bury coal. I haven’t found any places yet, let alone mining them, and now I’m buying them for nothing, so it’s not worth it at all. For this matter, many of them have been severely punished by the family!”

When Xiao Yu said this, he glanced at Li Yin with some relief. Although this false accusation almost caused Li Yin a big loss, it was a blessing in disguise. Not only did he see Li Shimin's trust in Li Yin's son, but he also showed a lot of sincerity. Friends to make.What makes people feel even more speechless is that Li Yin, as the person involved, has never been aware of his dangerous situation. It is only after the danger has passed that he understands the whole thing.

Listening to Xiao Yu's narration, Li Yin also felt warm in his heart. Although Cheng Huailiang and the others usually eat, drink, drink and fight, it seems that there is no serious time, but at the critical moment, they helped his brother regardless of the consequences. Oh, this made Li Yin extremely moved, what is a brother?These are brothers!I can silently help you when you are most difficult, but I never mentioned a word in front of you.

"Thank you grandfather for waking up my son-in-law. If it weren't for what you said today, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark." Li Yin thanked with a wry smile. Alarm bell, don't think that you can ignore it just because you are a prince. The conspiracies and tricks in the court are far beyond what you, a future generation, can play. You just bought some prisoners of war, and you are almost framed as treason. Although Xiao Yu did not Who is the person who falsely accused him, but even with his toes, Li Yin can guess one or two, and it must be inseparable from that sinister eldest grandson Wuji.

"Thank you, I don't need it, you just need to be more careful in what you do in the future." Xiao Yu's anger disappeared at this time, and his gaze towards Li Yin was much softer, and when he spoke, he also brought a kind of love from the elders to the younger generation, For some unknown reason, the stubborn and hot-tempered Duke of Song had always favored Li Yin, and this time he risked being blamed by Li Shimin to wake him up.Capital Datang 68

"My grandson-in-law remembers my grandfather's teachings!" Now that he had called his grandfather just now, Li Yin simply put on a thick skin to the end. Although this Old Duke Xiao has a bad temper, he has been rolling in the court for so many years. What kind of conspiracy? I have never seen a trick before, as long as I have a good relationship with him, I can at least remind myself of anything in the future, and I must not make this mistake again.

"Well, as a prince, you must think twice before doing things in the future. After all, there are many people staring at you in the court!" Xiao Yu originally planned to teach a few more words, but seeing Li Yin's respectful face, After saying a few lessons, he stopped, and then said with a pleasant face, "Also, you don't have to worry too much about the court affairs. My old bones can still be tossed about in the court for a few years. If there is any trouble, I will I will try my best to let you know, and if you are unsure about something, you can also go to me and let me help you as a consultant."

When Xiao Yu said this, he also sighed in his heart. He was not very favored in front of Li Shimin. There were many things in the court that he could not receive the news at the first time, so he might not be of great help to Li Shimin. For example, this time He only received the news about Li Yin's purchase of slaves this morning, and when he came to find Li Yin, it was already too late, so even if he wanted to help Li Yin, the effect he might have had was limited.

Hearing Xiao Yu's warm words, Li Yin also showed emotion on his face, but he was touched. Li Yin hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Xiao Yu: "My lord, my grandson-in-law is unclear about something. I want to ask my grandfather to help my grandson-in-law!"

"Oh?" Xiao Yu had already stood up, intending to take his leave and leave, but immediately stopped after hearing Li Yin's words, turned to look at him and asked, "Is there anything unknown about Liu Lang?"

"This..." Li Yin looked up at Xiao Yu, and finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Son-in-law would like to ask grandfather, why do you take such good care of grandson-in-law?" Although his prospective princess is Xiao Yu's granddaughter, However, there are not a few granddaughters of Xiao Yu, not to mention that Xiao Wenxin is still the daughter of a concubine, and she is not valued at home, so if it is said that Xiao Yu helped her because she loves the house and Wu, Li Min is the first to not believe it.

In addition, although I am also one of the princes, the throne is very far away from him, and it can even be said that there is no hope. Most of the court, Chinese and military officials remain neutral in the battles between the princes, such as Fang Xuanling and Li Jing and others.However, Xiao Yu, as one of the most important ministers in the court, is now trying his best to help him. He is simply betting the fate of the entire Xiao family on himself. It's just too big.

After Xiao Yu heard Li Yin's question, he fell silent for a while. The reason why he helped Li Yin so much was of course not just because of his granddaughter Xiao Wenxin, but now is not the time to tell Li Yin the real reason, so Xiao Yu thought for a while, and suddenly asked a very inexplicable question: "In a few days, it will be your mother's birthday, right?"

"Uh~, yes." Li Yin was taken aback, and replied subconsciously, not understanding what Xiao Yu meant by this sentence?

"Well, if you are free, please persuade your mother and tell her that what happened back then is over, and that person also knows that he was wrong. For the sake of that person's bleak old age, I hope she can be more generous. , Forget all the unpleasantness of the past!" When he said this, Xiao Yu's face was very ugly, and there was even an unspeakable desolation in his eyes.

After Xiao Yu said this inexplicable sentence, he ignored Li Min, turned around and left without looking back.Li Yin was confused, Xiao Yu only talked about that person and that person, but who exactly was that person referring to?

Taiji Palace Ganlu Hall, in a very confidential study room, Taizong Li Shimin was sitting behind the desk with a serious face. On the ground in front of him, a man in black clothes, even his face was covered by a black veil, stood there. .

"Your Majesty, your actions today are really reckless." The man in black said, his voice was very hoarse, as if he had stayed in the desert for several days without drinking water.

"My own son knows it well." Li Shimin looked up at the man in black, and said lightly, "Liu Lang is different from other people. Although he has been very lazy and a little reckless in his actions these days, he is a A very measured person, who knows what can and cannot be done, this is very similar to his third brother, among my sons, their brothers are the most reassuring to me."

"Your Majesty, as a shadow guard, family affection is not in our consideration, and as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, your judgment should not be affected by family affection." The man in black still said in a hoarse voice.The so-called shadow guard is actually an extremely secretive force in Li Shimin's hands. Its main duty is to be Li Shimin's ears, and to detect any information in the world that is not good for the Tang Dynasty at any time.

"Okay, I also know that you are doing it for my own good, but what I saw with my own eyes today and your investigations all prove that Liu Lang was framed by someone at all. He bought those slaves just for mining, and there is no Illegal intentions." Li Shimin said softly, as the leader of the shadow guards, this man in black only had his own safety and the country and society of the Tang Dynasty in mind, and what he said just now was for his own good.

"The shadow just wants to remind His Majesty to pay attention to your own safety." Seeing that Li Shimin's tone softened, the man in black couldn't say anything more, so he could only bow and say.Shadow is the name of the head of the shadow guard, which means that as Li Shimin's shadow, he will always live in darkness.Shadow's subordinates are in charge of the entire Shadow Guard organization, and they are only responsible to Li Shimin. In addition, the Shadow Guard organization is extremely secretive, and not a single person in the court knows of their existence.

"By the way, is there any result from the investigation on that matter?" Li Shimin didn't want to discuss this issue any more, so he changed the subject and asked.

"Your Majesty, we have been sending people to monitor that person's mansion, but it has been several years, but we have not found any outsiders in contact with her. In addition, our people have not stopped searching for that organization, but apart from finding some Except for the insignificant fringe figures, none of the core figures were found." Hearing Li Shimin mention the matter that caused their shadow guards a headache, Shadow could only bite the bullet and answer, ever since they knew the existence of that organization, they The shadow guard has spared no effort to investigate, but several years have passed, but they have not found any clues.Capital Datang 68

"It's been so many years, and I can't even find any clues. Is that organization really dead?" Li Shimin said to himself with some doubts.

"Your Majesty, Shadow also has this suspicion. After all, after the demise of the previous dynasty, they no longer had an object of allegiance, and since that person came back, they have not seen them send anyone to contact them. It can't be detected, as long as an organization as huge as theirs takes action, it is impossible not to leave any clues." Shadow paused at this point, and then continued, "So, the only explanation That is, that organization has already disbanded itself in despair, and its members have all become ordinary people of my Tang Dynasty, and there is no way to find out."

Shadow's words were not to shirk responsibility. After all, no one knew the strength of the shadow guards better than him. In the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty, there was almost no trouble that could be hidden from the shadow guards.And that legendary organization is so huge that it was not even under the shadow guards in its heyday. It is impossible for such a huge organization to completely hide itself without a trace, at least the shadow led by the shadow. Wei couldn't do it.

"Well, although this guess is likely to be true, don't take it lightly. From now on, we will monitor for another three years. If we still cannot find any clues about the organization within three years, we can record our guess." Li Shimin nodded, but still ordered carefully.

"Shadow obeys!" The man in black bowed to accept the order, but he remembered one more thing, although it was not a big deal, but it was a bit miraculous, and it was related to Li Yin, so it would be better to report it to Li Shimin after thinking about it.

Shadow thought of this, so he stood up and reported to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, recently, a shadow guard reported that the King of Liang recruited many skilled craftsmen from the people and even from the Ministry of Industry, and since these craftsmen entered the mansion, there are often people nearby when the sky is clear. , heard the sound of a thunderbolt coming from the palace, this matter is very strange, it has already aroused the discussion of many people in Chang'an, but no one can tell the reason?"

"Oh? There's the sound of a thunderbolt on a sunny day?" Li Shimin asked with some interest, but he suddenly thought of something Li Yin said when he was chatting with Li Yin today. , so he said with a smile, "Liu Lang mentioned this matter to me today, and it will be Concubine Yang's birthday in a few days. He seems to want to make some interesting gifts for Concubine Yang, but it's a pity that this kid has a very strict tongue. I don’t even say what kind of gift it is, I’m also very curious about it.”

What Li Shimin is most satisfied with Li Yin is that he not only shows sincere filial piety to himself and Concubine Yang, but also loves his younger brothers and sisters very much. The fact that my sister put so much effort into running a cold drink shop is enough to show Li Yin's love for Qinghe and the others.Although it is the most ruthless emperor's family, from Li Min, Li Shimin can see a very rare family affection.
