Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 419 Undercurrent (6)

Lifting a curtain, Xu Qing looked at the small room, and saw that in a small room with a skylight and a small window, there was a simple bed.The rest is a bookcase and a birdcage next to the bookcase.A parrot was drinking water in the cage, fluttering a few times, looking extremely energetic.But Xu Qing could also tell that the parrot was thrashing about looking at the world outside the window.

There are some scrolls in the bookcase, some have turned yellow, and some are even bamboo slips.Generally speaking, in the leader's office, it is not allowed to rummaging through things, but where Xu Qing lives at leisure, he just took out a bamboo slip to read.He thought to himself, this is something from ancient times. It was quite interesting to watch the bamboo slips on TV, but now holding them in his hands, he also feels gentle.

Seeing the words "Three Kingdoms" written on the bamboo slip, Xu Qing was shocked. Could this bamboo slip be the original version of Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" back then?Old man Li Yuan is really particular about it, but the Three Kingdoms has been written for hundreds of years, so why is this bamboo slip not bad at all?He hadn't traveled to the Three Kingdoms yet, and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms was useless. Putting it aside, Xu Qing continued to look at other things.

But seeing a small box, Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat, isn't this the box Li Yuan used to put the Universe Mirror?Thinking of Li Yuan treating the little magnifying glass as the supreme treasure, Xu Qing couldn't help laughing first.When he opened it, Xu Qing was dumbfounded. There were dozens of dark, round balls, chocolate? !No, no, it's not chocolate, it's an elixir!

The ancient emperors, those who didn't want to live forever, Qin Huang, Han Wu and others couldn't understand the law that life and death are destiny.Li Yuan is not well-known in the ranking list of emperors, and it is right that he cannot see through it.Xu Qing picked it up and smelled it, and a scent of medicine rushed into his nostrils.Xu Qing thought, this may be a simple health pill, not a elixir for longevity.

Before Xu Qing could study it clearly, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, followed by: "Minister Sun Wuji, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Emperor."

Xu Qing sat on the simple bed, holding his breath and listening to everything in the imperial study.

"Changsun Wuji," Li Yuan didn't ask him to get up, but looked at Changsun Wuji's face with interest and said, "Xu Qing came here just now..."

"Ah?" Changsun Wuji looked terrified, Li Yuan waved his hands and said, "Actually, it's fine, Xu Qing is complaining here, saying that someone has harmed him again and again, Mr. Changsun, what do you think about this?" ?”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Changsun Wuji cleared his throat as if unable to speak, and said, "Your Majesty, it's all because of my confusion."

Li Yuan was furious when he heard this, he slapped the table and said, "Changsun Wuji! You are so brave!"

Changsun Wuji hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground and cried, "The emperor spares my life, and I plead guilty..."

Li Yuan sneered and said, "Hmph, do you really think that since you are King Qin's father-in-law, I dare not do anything to you?"

Changsun Wuji continued to cry: "The emperor spares his life. This incident is indeed the fault of the minister. The minister should not have listened to the words of the Cui family and plotted against Master Xu secretly."

Li Yuan snorted coldly and said: "You are also confused. Usually you deal with this and plot against that, I just pretend that I didn't see it. But who is Xu Qing? He went to the border to kill the enemy, but you stabbed him behind here. How can you tell him to be at peace? I, I can't let down Xu Qing's loyalty."

Changsun Wuji prostrated himself and said, "I would like to apologize with death..."

"Death, death, death, you know death!" Li Yuan slapped the table and said, "Do you think you can calm Xu Qing's anger when you die? If you can, Xu Qing won't be a 20-year-old man!"

Changsun Wuji was surprised and said: "He, what else is he thinking? The fault of this incident is all on the minister. It is the minister who should not obey the Cui family's words and control Xu Qing's family. The death of the minister can't calm his anger. Are you going to get the Cui family?"

Li Yuan let out a long breath and sat on the chair, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said, "I don't know if he's going to deal with the Cui family, but Xu Qing's own men defeated those three groups of you. I didn't send a team." Soldiers help him."

Changsun Wuji was really surprised at this time, saying that Xu Qing's family was protected by the guards sent by Li Yuan constantly, and Changsun Wuji could be comforted by the three battles and three defeats.But to say that Xu Qing can almost fight against nearly half of the power in his hands with his own strength, which is more than enough, then he really feels Xu Qing's terror.

Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "Alas, the younger generation is awesome. I miscalculated, I miscalculated. With such a younger generation, it is my fault to be defeated by him, but my minister congratulates the emperor, getting this unicorn. Great! Tang Ke Yongchang also."

After a moment of silence, Li Yuan said: "You also know how powerful he is. He is only 20 years old now. I am afraid that the prince and I must rely on him."

After saying this, Xu Qing blushed on the other side of the wall.However, what Li Yuan said was not to flatter Xu Qing, but to beat Changsun Wuji.It means that the successor after Zhen must be the crown prince. You and the king of Qin must pay attention and abide by your duty as courtiers.

Changsun Wuji didn't speak, Li Yuan said again: "Changsun Wuji, I won't kill you. Although you made a mistake, you are still an important minister of the country. But you have to apologize to Xu Qing, at least make an appearance of giving in. I won't mention that incident, I just hope that it will never happen again..."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly shouted Long Live and thanked the emperor. As for how to apologize to Xu Qing, Changsun Wuji was not at all worried.After all, in his eyes, Xu Qing didn't know that he was the person behind it, so he had to take the initiative to confess, and he didn't know what attitude Xu Qing would have.However, he came here this time mainly to persuade Li Yuan.Because, Xu Qing's greatest reliance is the support of the imperial power. Without this and other supports, his eldest grandson Wuji is not really afraid.

What is imperial power? Is it the king's land within the four seas, and the king's minister on the shore of the land? The Han Dynasty experienced Hengling and two stupid emperors, and the chaos of Dong Zhuo was slaughtered throughout the court. There are also non-Shu people who came out to revive the Han Dynasty.This is imperial power. Once in power, the world will return to its heart. With an imperial decree, the world will be loyal to the king. This is something that any aristocratic family must bow its head to.

If Li Yuan is determined to eradicate the Shandong family, it may not be impossible, but he is afraid that internal friction will be too aggressive and people will become fishermen.Changsun Wuji got Li Yuan's nod, and it was only a matter of face to actually go to Xu Qing.

Just as Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, Li Yuan suddenly asked: "Changsun Wuji, I ask you, is King Qin related to this matter?"

Li Yuan asked suddenly, Changsun Wuji was unprepared, and blurted out: "No, no, the King of Qin didn't want to murder Xu Qing, but also asked the minister to establish a good relationship with Xu Qing."

Hearing this, Xu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't get stiff with Emperor Taizong.What Changsun Wuji said was actually the truth. Li Shimin really didn't want to harm Xu Qing yet.Li Yuan stared at Changsun Wuji for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Go, Cui Shi, forget it..."
