Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 52

"Your Majesty, the rebellion has basically been suppressed. Those Turkic rebels armed with our Tang army's equipment must have been implicated. Please investigate carefully."

On the walls of the imperial city, Li Shimin and others, who had been blown by a cold wind for nearly an hour, finally felt relieved after learning that the rebellion had been extinguished, and helped Qin Qiong, who was covered in blood, with their own hands. Right! I will definitely send someone to investigate strictly."

After finishing speaking, he led the people on the city wall back to the Tai Chi Hall. Sun Xiangfu wanted to follow in, but unexpectedly Li Shimin pointed out, "The important place for discussing politics, what are you doing with me, go out of the palace!"

Sun Xiangfu bowed dejectedly, then quickly caught up with Qin Qiong.

"Yi Gong, my family is fine!"

"It's nothing. When I arrived, the Turkic rebels hadn't broken through the gate of your house. I left Qin Hu and a hundred personal guards to guard your house. You can rest assured."

Qin Qiong said this briefly, and Sun Xiangfu knew how critical the situation was at that time, bowed and saluted and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yi, for saving your life."

"It's your duty. You kid has made a good report. Why are you being polite to me? The Furong Garden is blocked by the army tonight. You can rest at my house for a night and make plans tomorrow!"

"Alright."

Not long after, Sun Xiangfu accompanied Qin Qiong back to the mansion and was arranged in a room with a heated kang, but he couldn't sleep peacefully for a long time. This world is too dangerous!You must have some life-saving measures.

Life-saving measures are not so easy to think about. Although his grades in physics and chemistry in junior high and high school were not bad, it was not in the scope of his interests. He thinks that, like most people in later generations, he can't play with gunpowder guns and the like.

Uh, dig a cellar!Just like the old American president, if you build a concrete door several meters thick, not to mention that cold weapons will not be able to break open for three to five days, even bombs will not be able to explode for a while.In times of crisis, as long as the family hides in the cellar, it is no problem to hide for a while.

After Sun Xiangfu thought for a long time, he came up with such a practical method. After two hours, he was woken up by Uncle De when it was dawn, and he took a few guards from the Qin family to Furong Garden and go.

"General Dugu, how is the situation?"

Before Sun Xiangfu entered the Furong Garden, he watched the list of existing members of the Furong Garden sent by his subordinates one by one.

"Hundreds of Turkic rebels were captured alive, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice also came to interrogate them, but the effect was not great. The real mastermind should have escaped from Qujiang Pond by water. The whole matter, the mastermind did not seem to have thought about it. It's more like an extreme act of retaliation against Datang."

Dugu Mou frowned and replied.He had read all the lists in the brochure, and there was nothing suspicious. The captured Turkic soldiers only knew that the men in black killed the guards in charge of guarding them, and left several carts of weapons in the prison camp, telling them to escape by themselves. As for why these Turkic rebels killed the Sun Mansion not far away, it was precisely because they were usually oppressed by Sun Xiangfu and wanted revenge, but when Dugu Mou said this, Sun Xiangfu seemed to have thought of something.

"I didn't expect it to happen, revenge?"

Apart from Wang Lin and Wu Yuanqing, Sun Xiangfu couldn't think of anyone else who would have such hatred for him. Moreover, he dared to directly use the Tang army's standard equipment to the Turkic captives. With such an obvious flaw, the self-proclaimed wise Wang Lin would definitely not do it. , then, there is only one Wu Yuanqing left.

"General Dugu, where did the weapons used by the rebels come from?" Sun Xiangfu asked again.

"From the ordnance treasury of the Ministry of Industry, the recipient signed your name, but His Majesty knows that you cooked meals for His Majesty in the palace last night, so this person used a pseudonym, and the document for receiving the ordnance It is also a forgery, signed by the name of Ying Guogong, a warrior, and only His Majesty and Ying Gong have the right to open the warehouse of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry. Last night, His Majesty summoned Ying Gong to the palace to verify the situation." Dugu Mou Explain the details to Sun Xiangfu.

"Forged documents to receive armaments, signed my name, and then instigated rebels to slaughter my whole family. The final result is that I forged documents, cheated armies, incited rebels to rebel, but was massacred by rebels. There is no evidence to prove it. What a poisonous scheme!"

Thinking of this, Sun Xiangfu was drenched in cold sweat. Fortunately, he listened to Yu Xiuer's suggestion to deliver tofu to the palace yesterday, and it happened that Li Shimin left him in the palace because of cooking tofu. Otherwise, everything would be under the control of that person. Wu Yuanqing, absolutely Without such a wise plan, it should be Wang Lin.

However, I don't have any evidence to prove that Wang Lin did it. It's probably impossible to convict the eldest son of the world's top aristocratic family just by guessing.

"Difficult, difficult!"

Thinking of this, Sun Xiangfu only sighed in his heart, and went home with Uncle De and others.

"Brother Qin Hu, I had a lot of work last night. I will prepare a banquet in the mansion later to reward all brothers." Sun Xiangfu arrived in front of the mansion, and seeing Qin Hu and others standing in the cold wind all night, he was very moved. He clasped his fists and said.

"Haha, you're being polite, Da Lang. If you didn't find out in time, I wouldn't have been able to have a good fight last night. However, the food and drinks at your house are delicious. I'd better have a good meal and cook more. Come." Qin Hu laughed when he heard the words.

"Sure, sure, all the brothers will be there later."

When Sun Xiangfu entered the mansion, Uncle De hurriedly ordered the cooks to arrange a banquet. Sun Xiangfu went straight to the back hall. In the room, he saw Yu Xiu'er who was hugging her brother and sister on the kang and stayed up all night.

"My lady is worried." Seeing that the three of them were safe, Sun Xiangfu felt relieved and said with a reassuring smile.

"My concubine is fine, so is my husband! What happened last night?" Seeing that Sun Xiangfu had returned safely, Yu Xiu'er and her siblings dispelled all worries in their hearts. After looking at it and confirming that it was all right, they all looked at Sun Xiangfu and asked.

"If I'm not wrong, it should be Wang Lin or Wu Yuanqing who wanted to kill me. It's also possible that they conspired together to kill me. Fortunately, I listened to you yesterday and went to the palace to deliver tofu flowers. I broke the thief's way. If there is a good wife in the family, the husband will not cause misfortune!"

Sun Xiangfu turned the corner and praised Yu Xiu'er, and made Yu Xiu'er feel relieved, but thinking of Wu Yuanqing, Yu Xiu'er looked at Sun Xiangfu apologetically and said, "It's my concubine's bad health, which brought disaster to my husband."

"How could it be! If a wife does not attract jealousy, does it mean that the wife is not beautiful? Don't worry! This matter has passed, but it reminded me that our mansion should be redecorated. At least, the defense must be strong." Strengthen." Sun Xiangfu smiled and said.

Then, he told the three of them about his plan to build a concrete basement. In times of crisis, the people who are most important to his life can retreat to the basement for temporary shelter. Yu Xiuer strongly agreed with them. As for the two little guys , Of course I listened to my brother and sister-in-law.

The breakfast in the Sun Mansion was very lively. In the pond in the backyard, there were hundreds of big fish weighing more than ten catties sent by Xingfu Village. Sun Xiangfu ordered people to pick them up and kill them all. One hundred generals, Dugu Mou and Flying Cavalry generals were also invited into the mansion for dinner. After a full meal, a servant came to the mansion to deliver an order, ordering Dugu Mou and Sun Xiangfu to enter the palace to face the saint. set off.

In Li Shimin's imperial study, not only the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Qin Qiong were there after what happened last night, but also Prime Minister Pei Ji, Minister of Criminal Affairs Wang Gui, and counselor Wei Zheng.

After the two paid their salutes, Dugu Mou made a complete report to Li Shimin on the situation at the scene, and then Li Shimin came out with the situation of his own investigation, and the admonishing doctor Wei Zheng came out and said, "No matter what the matter is, Whoever is the mastermind, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the samurai Xun, is responsible for not keeping secrets. His important arsenal storehouse allowed thousands of standard weapons to be confiscated due to a fake document. This is a serious crime, I suggest. Remove this man."

The birth of the samurai Xun is very embarrassing. He is not from Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and other aristocratic families. Before he entered politics, he was just a merchant. Because of his rich family wealth and the right treasure of Li Yuan, he got the position of Duke of the State. It cannot be said that there is no talent, but whether it is a family lineage or a general lineage, he has no deep relationship with him. Now that there are mistakes and omissions, it is normal for someone to take him out and step on him.

"My minister agrees."

The first person to speak out was Changsun Wuji. The warrior Xun was an ex-official of Li Yuanchao, and he held a high position in one of the six official books. This is not in line with Li Shimin's interests. Don't say such a thing, it just doesn't exist. He has been an official for a short time, so after Changsun Wuji spoke out, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wang Gui and others also spoke out.

In the end, Pei Ji, as the prime minister, had to nod. After all, this was the appointment and dismissal of the chief officials of the six ministries. If the prime minister insisted on not agreeing, Li Shimin would not be able to forcefully dismiss him. This would leave people with the image of a self-willed tyrant.

"Ying Guogong has made great contributions to the country, so it would be inappropriate to dismiss him directly. In my opinion, we will move him to be Yangzhou Governor and Governor Tian Gai. What do you think?"

The land reform mentioned by Li Shimin is a change in Huainan, Jiangnan and other places where the dry land planted with millet and wheat is replaced by two crops of soybeans. This was discussed by Li Shimin with Changsun Wuji and others last night. He is an old minister from the former dynasty, but he still has the ability. Li Shimin is short of people under his command now. For such capable former courtiers, it is only necessary to keep them away from the center.

"Your Majesty is merciful, but, what did this Tian Gai say?"

Wei Zheng impeached the samurai Xun on a matter-of-fact basis, but he also knew in his heart that it was impossible to push a duke of the state to the end with regard to this matter. The land reform that Li Shimin mentioned was something discussed with Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others just last night, Wei Zheng and others didn't know it, so they asked.

Therefore, Li Shimin told the yield of soybeans per mu, which can be planted twice a year, and there is a new production method, and he told the officials who were not present last night that soybeans are all treasures. Let's all bow down and congratulate Li Shimin for getting another good recipe to improve the national power.

However, Li Shimin announced the news, but he did not announce the method of making tofu. Like Wei Zheng, who is behind the Shandong gentry, and Wang Gui, who is from the Taiyuan Wang family. After they go back, will they let their land be replanted? Li Shimin is looking forward to two seasons a year, and the yield per mu is much larger than that of rice and wheat.
