Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

The next day, Li Ke entered the palace and gave Li Shimin a brief report on the holding of the Chang'an competition, and invited Li Shimin to the final scene in person. Li Shimin readily agreed to Li Keshi's request.Then, the father and son discussed some calligraphy issues, and it was not until Fang Xuanling reported something to Li Shimin that Li Ke resigned and left.

It's not that he doesn't want to get in touch with more government affairs, but that he is already afraid of being asked by Li Shimin, and every time he asks him some problems that need to be solved in a timely manner, he can only tell the historical solutions that he knows.And although he won Li Shimin's commendation, it also provoked Li Tai, Li You and Li Chengqian, and made Changsun Wuji pay more attention to him, which made Li Ke feel that the gain outweighed the loss.Therefore, he avoided it when he felt he could, so as not to expose his ability too early and seek their joint attack.

Coming out of Li Shimin's imperial study room in Ganlu Palace, Li Ke came to Concubine Yang's Qianqiu Palace, and reported to Concubine Yang about her living conditions these days, and then left the palace at Concubine Yang's instructions.

Chang'an City was already silent in the severe winter. Li Ke rode on the horse and tightened his clothes, and said to Chen Qi beside him, "Tomorrow is the final of the Chang'an City Competition. You must act properly on that matter and don't delay the time. Understand?"

"The general will understand," Chen Qi replied.

"Go to Sun Shaoqing's mansion" Li Ke ordered, and then, with Chen Qi leading the way, Li Ke and his party headed towards the mansion of Dali Temple Shaoqing Sun Fujia.

Sun Fujia, a native of Qinghe, Xingtai, Hebei.At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Sun Fujia set foot in the officialdom and became a lowly official. After several promotions, he became the law officer of Chang'an County in Gyeonggi in the last years of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. , is a rather powerful official in Wannian County.

After Li Yuan became emperor in Chang'an, Sun Fujia surrendered to the Tang Dynasty knowing the current affairs.In the five years of Wude, Sun Fujia has become a highly regarded official by Li Yuan.In the imperial examination held in December of this year, Sun Fujia ranked first among the 30 candidates.

The Jinshi Department began with Emperor Sui Yang, but due to historical oblivion, the opening of the department during Emperor Sui Yang's time is no longer in good shape. In the history of Chinese imperial examinations, Sun Fujia was the first famous champion in the examination.

In the "Xuanwu Gate Change", Sun Fujia supported Li Shimin and ran around to serve Li Shimin.After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was bestowed a Baron, Shiyi Le'an, and in the first year of Zhenguan, he was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Therefore, Sun Fujia still has a trace of the plot of the Sui Dynasty.It is for this reason that Li Ke is the grandson of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Before the crown prince was established, he was the only one who advocated Li Ke to be in charge of the East Palace.

Today, Sun Fujia was reading in his study after he came down from court, when he heard his family report that Han Wang Li Ke had visited him, which surprised me.Since Li Ke returned to Beijing, apart from visiting Feng Deyi, he has been to Cen Wenwen's mansion. He has not interacted with any courtiers. He has kept a low profile. Why did he suddenly come to visit him today? Is there anything he needs to help with? ?Busyly asked the scary people to invite Li Ke to the study, and ordered no one to approach the study without his own order.

Li Ke came to the study, met with Sun Fujia, sat opposite him and thanked him, "The king came today to thank Sun Shaoqing for his support for the crown prince, and also to ask Sun Shaoqing to solve a difficult problem for the king. .” Li Ke said directly without testing Sun Fujia’s position.

Sun Fujia was quite moved by Li Ke's frankness, and thinking that Li Ke is the blood of the previous dynasty, he became closer to him a lot, "If there is anything your Highness can do, I will never refuse. It's just about the word of thanks, Your Highness Don't say too much in the future, I can't afford it."

Li Ke said with a smile, "Shaoqing said it before, how can you express my gratitude for what you have done for this king? This king will never forget your gratitude to this king for the prince. Support." Li Ke said very sincerely.

"Your Highness don't need to say any more, I understand!" Sun Fujia was moved by Li Ke's sincerity, "Please tell Your Highness if you have anything to say, I will do my best."

Seeing Sun Fujia's slightly excited expression, Li Ke was also quite surprised. He didn't expect Sun Fujia to reveal his true feelings to him, which was beyond his expectation.He hurriedly told Sun Fujia about his case about Wang Fu.

Sun Fujia listened very carefully, and after he listened carefully to Li Ke's narration, he said with a serious expression, "As the county magistrate of Chang'an, Wang Fu dared to embezzle and cheat at the feet of the emperor, and the emperor will definitely investigate thoroughly at this time. Therefore, His Highness still suppresses the witness Wang San to Dali Temple first, and the minister can interrogate him for two days, and then report to the Emperor after the Chang'an competition is over. However, His Highness must not bring this person into the mansion privately, as this violates the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If the emperor really asks, His Highness is not easy to explain."

Hearing what Sun Fujia said, Li Ke realized how stupid his decision last night was. He wanted to bring the witnesses of Wang Fu's corruption case to the palace. If any strong evidence is found, Dao Shi will not only be unable to cure Wang Fu, but he will bite back and say that he secretly taught Wang San to deliberately frame the courtiers.

Seeing Li Ke's remorseful expression, Sun Fujia knew that he had thought of this too, and comforted him, "Your Highness hasn't escorted the man to the palace yet, and I'll send someone out of the city to pick him up later, after it's too dark His Highness is nothing but too worried about bringing him back to the prison."

"Well, there are my king's people guarding outside the city. I will go back to the mansion and arrange for someone to send a letter to them, asking them to hand over Wang San to Dali Temple." After listening to Sun Fujia's comfort, Li Ke still felt that the A little uneasy.Therefore, I want to hand over the person to Dali Temple as soon as possible.

"Then I will not keep His Highness, I will make arrangements." Sun Fujia also knew that the matter would not be delayed, so he said bluntly.

"Then I have to thank Sun Shaoqing." Li Ke thanked again.

"Your Highness is serious." Sun Fujia was a little dissatisfied.

Li Ke knew that he had acted too modestly, which made Sun Fujia feel unfamiliar, so he just accused him, so he and Chen Qi came out of Sun's residence and hurried back to Hanwang's residence.As soon as he entered the Han Palace, Li Ke immediately ordered Chen Qi to arrange for someone to hand over Wang San to Dali Temple.After the arrangement was over, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the study, he contacted the study as usual, and the night of Chang'an City in winter came earlier, he had just written a few words, and the sunset had already shone on the window of the study.

Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun, thinking of the few months when I came to Datang, I was filled with emotion.

He is just an ordinary person, but after traveling to the emperor's house, he is no longer an ordinary person, and he will no longer live like an ordinary person.Therefore, there are many things that must be done that must be faced by him.However, he will not be a butcher and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.However, if anyone is against him and endangers the lives of himself and the person he loves the most, even if that person is a good person or a woman, he will still not let him go.Because being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself, he will not be a fool, he will not do such a stupid thing.

At dinner, Li Ke summoned Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, Su Dingfang, Xu Jingzong, Chen Qi and others to have dinner together, and it became lively when there were too many people. Not much restraint.Therefore, it is also delicious to eat each meal at night.And when Li Ke was having dinner and drinking tea with everyone in the front hall, he saw Yang En walking in with a serious expression.

Li Ke noticed that Yang En's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Mr. Yang?"

"Your Highness, look, this is something I found in the backyard. It seems that someone threw it in in the afternoon." He handed a paper-shaped wax pill to Li Ke, "If it wasn't for the old slave who found it, there is no one in the mansion. Realizing that you are so negligent, Your Highness should also arrange the guards in the mansion properly, and you can't take away the guards in the mansion for the sake of the game, threatening your safety."

After listening to Yang En's words, Li Ke saw that it was because of this, and comforted him, "Don't be angry, Mr. Yang. This king is also forced to because of insufficient manpower for the competition. Besides, after the game is over tomorrow, the Wolf Guard and Eagle Guard will withdraw. What big event will happen. Besides, don’t you have you? Who would dare to hurt the king if you are there?” Li Ke did not forget to put a high hat on Yang En.

Knowing that Li Ke was doing it for the competition, and seeing that he didn't care about his own safety, Yang En shook his head helplessly, and stood quietly behind him without saying a word.

In fact, the reason why Li Ke dared to be so bold was not only that he didn't dare to go to his Han Palace to make trouble, but also that there were two masters in the mansion, Yang En and Liu Heng.That's why he dispatched all the guards from Fuchu to the match site to inspect and arrange.If Yang En and Liu Heng can't deal with people who can make trouble in the palace, then it's useless to arrange more guards.

Li Ke glanced at the wax pill and crushed it to reveal a paper ball. When he opened the paper ball, he saw eight characters written on it, but they were all medicine names: angelica, tangerine peel, red arrow, blood residue.

Li Ke passed the note to everyone, and when the note came back to him, Li Ke asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Everyone glanced at each other, but they didn't understand what the names of the four medicines written on the note were for?Seeing that everyone was silent, Ma Zhou said, "Your Highness, I don't know who threw this note, and the purpose is not clear for the time being. I can't tell whether it is male or female. Therefore, it is difficult to judge whether it is written on it." What do you mean, what is the purpose?"

"Also, only the names of the four drugs are written on the note. Is it trying to tell us something, to remind us? Or is it the enemy's suspicion to distract us? Whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend, we can't judge clearly. Therefore, there are only a few words on the note, and it is difficult to judge its meaning." Xu Jingzong also said.

Li Ke told everyone that they had discussed for a long time without any results.It was getting late, and considering that going to bed too late would affect the next day's finals, Li Ke asked everyone to go to rest early.And he himself knew nothing about medicine, so he looked at it for a long time in his study alone, but he didn't guess what it was after all.
