Wentang

Chapter 768 Dismantling
"Saint, Lian Qixian, commander of the six gates, is asking to see you."

"Xuan."

The expressions of all the people present became serious, Yue Shan was humiliated by two small officials from the Ministry of Industry, and Li Daliang died in shame, it is impossible for them not to know about such a big matter.

They also knew that Six Doors had arrested the person on the spot, and nine out of ten of them were the results of the trial.

"My minister, Lian Qixian pays homage to the saint." Lian Qixian walked into the hall without turning his eyes and saluted.

"But there is a result?" Li Shimin said straightforwardly.

"Yes, Shi Pinyong's confession was instigated by his superior, Tong Shuru, a member of the Ministry of Water Affairs. Tong Shuru refused to admit it, but I used some means to pry his mouth open. He said..." At this point, Lian Qixian suddenly Keep your mouth shut.

"Say." Li Shimin said in a cold tone.

"Yes, Tong Shuru said that this matter was instigated by Hong Weiruo, an attendant of Chu Xianggong's house." Lian Qixian said with his head bowed.

Everyone looked at Chu Suiliang subconsciously, but his expression was calm, as if he was not talking about him.

Li Shimin didn't seem surprised at all, and continued to ask: "Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Water, is also an official of the imperial court. How could he listen to a white body?"

Lian Qixian said: "Tong Shuru said that Hong Weiruo took Chu Xianggong's token and said that he was acting for Chu Xianggong."

Li Shimin nodded, then looked at Chu Suiliang and said, "Chu Qing, what do you have to say?"

Chu Suiliang got up unhurriedly and said: "Reporting to the saint, because I refused to recommend him as an official, Hong Weiruo left my house half a month ago, and stole a lot of property when he left. I also reported this matter Report it to Wannian County, and the sage will know it after checking."

"Oh, there are other things like this? Then why did he use your name to frame Xia Guogong?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.

"I think it's because I don't want to recommend him as an official, so I have resentment. As for why I chose Duke Xia, I don't know." Chu Suiliang replied.

"So that's the case, then it seems that this matter really has nothing to do with you." Li Shimin said.

"The sage is holy."

"Lian Qixian, do your best to track down Hong Weiruo's whereabouts."

"Here."

"Chu Qing, this matter is related to you after all, you should avoid it until the matter is found out."

Chu Suiliang's expression froze, he got up slowly and said, "Here."

"It's all gone."

"Here."

Ten people walked out of the hall silently.

Seeing Chu Suiliang walk up to Yue Shan, he said sincerely: "Mr. Xia, although this matter has nothing to do with me, it was caused by me after all. I am sorry for you, and I apologize to you."

Everyone else stopped and stood looking at them.

Yue Shan stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "Hehe... People, once they do something proud, they can't help but show it off. This is the weakness of human nature."

"Do you think that if you clear everything up in advance, everyone will not know that you did it? No one can do anything against you?"

Chu Suiliang said with an innocent face: "Mr. Xia, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Yue Shan shook his head, and said helplessly: "I really didn't expect you to be so stupid after sitting in this position. For us... no, for a saint, is it important to have evidence?"

"Now I turn around and tell the saint that you humiliated me with your words just now, slandered the queen and the prince, and mocked the saint. Do you think the saint will believe it?"

Chu Suiliang was angry at first, and then his face changed drastically. He swallowed and said, "The sage is the king of sages, how can he listen to your nonsense. Besides, there are eight ministers to testify..."

As soon as he said this, he saw Changsun Wuji and other seven people collectively turned their heads to the side, acting as if they hadn't heard anything.

Only Liu Ji looked at him with contempt: "When the sage decided to establish a museum, you invited me here to obstruct Xia Guogong in private."

"I thought you were just talking in a fit of anger, but I didn't expect... Bah, villain, I don't want to be with you." After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Chu Suiliang's face turned blue and red, and he didn't expect Liu Ji to say this in public.

Not to mention that none of the eight prime ministers was willing to help him, and even Changsun Wuji, whom he regarded as an ally, chose to ignore him.

"Haha..." Yue Shan patted him heavily on the shoulder, looked up to the sky and laughed.

Ma Zhou and the others also turned and left, only Changsun Wuji was a step behind, looked at him and left a word before turning and leaving.

"Husband does not fight, so no one in the world can fight with him. This is why I don't make him an enemy."

Looking at the backs of several people, Chu Suiliang resented and annoyed, but felt deeply powerless.

Is Yue Shan really capable of making the nine prime ministers support him?Impossible, if he really had this ability, Li Shimin would have killed him long ago.

The reason why these people pretended they didn't see anything was that they didn't want to go through this muddy water, especially when everyone knew who did it.

In fact, it doesn't matter who did it, and it doesn't matter whether there is any evidence. Li Shimin's thoughts are the most important.

Perhaps those Taiping emperors who inherited the country should worry about the thoughts of their ministers, pay attention to evidence in doing things, and worry about this and that.

But for an emperor like Li Shimin, who is similar to the founding monarch and at the peak of power, and who is truly arbitrary, his will is the most important thing.

The prime minister has a lot of power, and it is a matter of one sentence to want to establish, destroy or kill.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to kill the ministers of the whole country round after round, and still defeated the Huns and established the foundation of the Han Dynasty forever.Li Shimin's power at this time was no less than that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and even exceeded it.

In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed even himself and there were not many people available, but Li Shimin has not started killing until now, and his confidantes and capable ministers are all there.

The entire huge Tang Empire is really operating according to his ideas.

Does Chu Suiliang really not know about this problem?He knows it.

Letting people create a little trouble for Yue Shan, humiliating him and lowering his face, these things are actually not big.Yue Shan himself is probably too embarrassed to make a big fuss, even if he makes a big fuss, the emperor won't care.

Because the emperor didn't want the relationship between his ministers to be too harmonious, he dared to do this just because he grasped this point.

It's just that he never calculated that something like Li Daliang would happen.

Li Daliang is a veteran minister who followed the emperor to conquer the world. He is honest, loyal and capable.

Now it is no longer the conflict between him and Yue Shan, but how the emperor views Li Daliang's death.

He knew that Li Daliang's heart sank to the bottom when Li Daliang died. It's just that people have a fluke mentality, so he tried to get rid of the relationship and get through the difficulties.

After all of them left, a person came out from behind the pillar and hurried into the hall, and explained what happened just now.

Li Shimin waved his hand to make people retreat, and sat there alone, lost in thought.

After a long time, he suddenly said: "Go to Xia Guogong's mansion and bring Jin Yang back, just say that the queen misses her."

Zhao Meng was shocked in his heart, but he said with a normal expression on his face: "Here."

……

It was already 20 days after Yue Shan got the news that Li Shu was picked up. Although it was strange how he walked for so long this time, he was too tired to take it to heart.

These days he was busy with Li Daliang's funeral and couldn't rest for a moment. Now that he was finally buried smoothly, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason why it took so long is not that there were rules in this regard in ancient times.The main reason is that Li Daliang's son and grandson are out of town, waiting for them to return to Beijing.

These days, let alone going home, he has even handed over the work of the museum to Chen Yu. He still doesn't know what it looks like now.

Forget it, don't think about it for now, let's sleep well.

It's just that he doesn't know why, he tosses and turns and can't fall asleep, as if something important has been neglected, and his heart has been restless.

After lying down for a while, he really couldn't fall asleep, so he didn't sleep at all. He just lay on the bed and closed his eyes, thinking about what happened these days.

Museum...Ministry of Industry, Li Daliang vomited blood from anger, Li Shimin came to see him for the last time... chatted with Li Shimin for a while.

He finally figured out what was wrong.

At that time, Li Shimin said that he wanted to call the prince back. Why has there been no movement for so many days?This is not his style.Do you have another idea?

Or was he just talking casually?
Carefully recall the conversation between the two of them at that time.

Li Shimin first lamented his old age, and then asked about his lifespan. I said that he could not see it because of his luck.

No problem here.

What did he ask after that?
It seems that he stopped for a while and suddenly said that he would call the prince back...

Wait... Like a bolt of lightning, breaking through the fog in front of him, he instantly connected everything.

He sat up abruptly from the bed and murmured: "It's broken, it's a big deal."

What did Li Shimin say to call the prince back?Teach him some long-term plans and national policies, and prevent these plans from being abolished by others...

what does this look likeIt's like explaining the funeral, only when explaining the funeral will you say such a thing.

As a listener, what should be your reaction to hearing this sentence?
If the person who said this can still live for many years in the prime of his life, he will definitely be persuaded: You are not old, it is too early to think about these things or something.

What would you say if this person was old and frail and had few years to live?
Most people would say a few words of relief and agree with him.

How did you answer yourself at that time?
To say that he has a vision...is to agree in disguise.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing wryly. He didn't expect to be tricked out by Li Shimin after so many years of trembling with fear.

Sure enough, if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it.

Then everything can be explained, what will Li Shimin think when he knows that he has few years to live?What would be his attitude towards himself, the person who had lied to him for so many years?

There is no need to think too much anymore, since he called Princess Jinyang away, he knew how he was feeling.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had such a deep bond with the royal family, his head would probably have fallen by now.

Even now, his own head is not so stable, and the family may be separated at any time.

Thinking of this, he no longer felt sleepy, got up and lit a candle and went to the study next door.

Li Lizhi was found to have a happy pulse a few days ago. He had just finished the funeral. According to the folk rules, it is best not to get close to the pregnant woman these days, so the two slept separately.

Sitting at the desk, I recalled everything that happened after the time travel.

A chance encounter in the wild is the beginning of everything. I originally wanted to live a peaceful life with a noble title, but the result was that I got deeper and deeper.

I want to do something when I have a higher position and more experience.

So I founded the academy, trying to transform this era ideologically, and making various inventions...until today.

Pretending to be a magic stick is to get carried away, and I have been trying to solve this problem since then.

He thought he had concealed it well and almost eliminated the traces of the magic stick on his body, but he didn't expect to be tricked by Li Shimin with a few words.

He originally thought that he would be very scared, but in fact he was not, and his mood was surprisingly calm.

He has enjoyed all the glory and wealth, married a daughter-in-law who is both talented and beautiful, and has both sons and daughters... Speaking of which, there is really nothing to regret.

The only regret may be that there are still many, many ideas that have not been written into a book, and I don’t know if there will be opportunities in the future.

Looking at the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who had just written the beginning on the desk, and the bookcase full of various manuscripts on the left hand bookcase, he was full of reluctance.

"Squeak!" At this moment, the sound of the door hinge turning, he looked up and found that it was Li Lizhi.

"Why haven't you rested yet?"

"That's exactly what I want to ask my brother, aren't you very tired, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Can't sleep, get up and read a book."

"I can't sleep either... I can't sleep without my brother."

"Don't be afraid of the evil spirit on me."

"You are a child of a fairy, what kind of evil spirit dares to stay on you."

Yue Shan laughed and said, "You, let's go, let's go to rest together."

Li Lizhi smiled sweetly: "No need, brother, you can do your own work. I will go to sleep in it by myself, and I can sleep knowing you are by my side."

"Is that the case, that's fine, you go to sleep. You are not alone now." Yue Shan still got up and sent her to the inner room, put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt, grabbed her hand and said:
"Sleep, I'll be busy when you fall asleep."

"Brother, you are so kind." Li Lizhi closed her eyes and fell asleep slowly.

Looking at the happy smile on the corner of her mouth, Yue Shan's heart was filled with warmth.

When she fell asleep, Yue Shan's expression had returned to calm, a little more determined than usual.

No matter what Li Shimin will do to him in the future, now he just needs to be himself.Spend more time with your family, do what you need to do well, and take the time to write down what you want to write.

If you really can't finish writing, just hand over the manuscript to Wang Ji, and let him have a headache.

In the academic world, the only person he believes in is Wang Ji, not even Feng Yi and Chen Zhong.

Speaking of the two apprentices, Feng Yi took his wife to travel all over the world, never coming back once a year.It was extremely irresponsible to throw one of the children to Feng Luokung and his wife, and the other to the Xu family.

Chen Zhong was the complete opposite. He had been working in Liaodong Governor's Mansion these years and was already Li Chengqian's confidant.

Therefore, neither of them can inherit his academic thinking, and in a sense, he is quite a failure as a teacher.

Sitting at the table, Yue Shan began to think about which book to start writing first.

I didn't struggle with it for long, so I just wrote it from the Hanwu Emperor I had in hand.

Maybe it will be one of the four great classics after thousands of years. If you count the golden house Cangjiao, if future generations comment on the four great classics, maybe I can be selected as two of them.

It's exciting to think about.
