Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 221
After realizing that the previous dismounting power was played by her, Bai Jian was covered in wood carvings and clay sculptures in an instant, standing by the side sluggishly, dazed, and regretful in her heart.

Seeing Bai Jian's appearance of beating eggplants, Li Shimin immediately guessed what was going on, and thought to himself, "Bai Jian must have made the whole city stormy after being dismounted, which alarmed Shubao and Ruhui, what an idiot!"

Cursing secretly, Li Shimin gave Qin Qiong and Du Ruhui a comforting look, and then asked Bai Jian in a cold voice: "What's going on! Didn't I tell you to preach the truth? Why did you become an escort?"

As soon as this remark came out, Bai Jian, who was in front of Chang Banjun, immediately understood Li Shimin's thoughts, "Long live Lord, is this going to make me take the blame? Do you want to take the blame? Of course, if you don't take the blame, you will lose your head!"

After comprehending the meaning of Tang Taizong's words, Bai Jian knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said with tears in her voice: "I was confused for a while, and I sent the Yulin Army to the Qin Mansion without Wansui's order. This is what I did. If you are not careful, I still hope that Long Live will issue an order to punish you."

When Li Shimin saw Bai Jian's "dismounting from the horse", most of his anger disappeared immediately, but due to the presence of Qin Qiong and others, he still had to act.

"You idiot, how could you lead troops into Shubao's mansion just to save face? Get out of here!"

After scolding angrily, Li Shimin looked at Qin Shubao with a guilty smile on his face.

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't punish herself, Bai Jian quickly kowtowed and got up as if she had been pardoned, and exited the Wanhua Hall respectfully.

After drinking the white slips, Li Shimin pulled out Qin Qiong and Du Ruhui's wrists with both hands, and said with a smile: "Shubao, Ruhui, today's farce is strange to me, and there is still wine left at the table, let's have a few drinks .”

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin dragged Qin and Du to sit in the banquet, and Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong and others at the side immediately lost their hearts.

From the analysis of Li Shimin's reprimand Bai Jian's words, everyone knew that "dismounting the majesty" must have come from Tang Taizong's oral order, but Bai Jianhui misunderstood it, and it was self-defeating and became "the Yulin army escorted He Zudao into the palace" A dumbfounding farce.

Sitting at the banquet, Qin Qiong and Du Ruhui's uneasy thoughts gradually dissipated with the passage of time. The two of them were sweating profusely all the way, and they were a little hungry.

During the banquet, Li Shimin exchanged cups with everyone, and after learning about Tang Taizong's attitude towards "He Zudao", no matter whether it was Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui, and Chai Shao who cared about Fang Yiai's consolation, or Li Xiaogong, Wei Zheng, etc. People, all have a rough judgment in their minds about who will win the Yuanhua in the current science and technology conference.

But just when everyone secretly guessed that Fang Yiai was the Huiyuan of Jinke, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was sitting in the banquet with a forced smile and exchanged cups with several people, was so worried.

Uncle Guo originally planned to take this opportunity to send "He Zudao" to the gate of hell, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin would actually fall in love with Fang Yiai's policy question paper. The future will also be overwhelmed by the "top of the civilian list". After thinking clearly about the reason, the eldest grandson Wuji, who lost his wife and lost his army, seems to have eaten a fly in his heart. Everyone thinks it is not pleasing to the eye, of course Li Shimin is not in this category among.

After drinking a few glasses of water and wine, Qin Qiong recovered as before, but Du Ruhui, who was usually not very strong, still felt a little tight in his chest. The body became a little heavier.

Just when several people were drinking, a hurried figure walked into the Wanhua Hall and stood in front of Li Shimin.

Seeing Empress Changsun approaching in a hurry, Qin Qiong and others got up one after another and saluted the current mother of the country.

After returning the gift, Empress Changsun straightened her slightly disheveled hair, and asked Li Shimin worriedly, "Why is Long Live punishing?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help being laughed at by Bai Jian, and scolded: "Bai Jian is such a genius, why is he so useless in his work, and now he even attracted the queen to come to me to settle accounts."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was aroused by Li Shimin's words and couldn't stop laughing. Seeing this, Empress Changsun's heart fell down.

"Bai Jian is not doing well?" With a mutter, Empress Changsun instantly understood the concern revealed in Li Shimin's words, and asked with confusion in her phoenix eyes: "Long live, what's the point of punishment?"

"My maidservant, I see that He Zudao's article is very well done, and I plan to call him to come to the palace to have a talk. Before I asked Bai Jian to preach He Zudao, who would have thought that this slave would cause a storm in the city, as if the widow wanted to kill him It seems!"

Speaking of what was in his mind, Li Shimin suddenly sensed that something was wrong. Qin Qiong and Du Ruhui lived in Chang'an City, so they naturally knew about He Zudao's escort into the palace at the first time, but Empress Changsun was in Daming Palace, so why did the news come out like this? handy?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin cast a blank glance at the eldest grandson empress in front of him, and thought, "Could it be that someone has reported to the servant girl?"

Out of curiosity, Li Shimin tentatively asked: "My maid, could it be that you saw the Habayashi army escorting He Zudao into the palace? Why did you come so quickly?"

Hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, apart from Qin Qiong, Chai Shao and the others were all curious. Even Du Ruhui, who was on board the "Fang Jun" pirate ship, didn't know Xie Zhongju's true identity, so he felt the same in his heart when he didn't know. There was a little confusion.

Sensing everyone's curious gazes, Empress Changsun turned her phoenix eyes slightly, and said instead: "Before Wang Youdao went to Shangyiyuan to pick up books, and happened to see He Zudao being escorted into the palace. The concubine also heard Wang Youdao mention it."

Empress Changsun was usually gentle and virtuous, and had a good reputation among the rulers and ministers. Seeing her being involved with Wang Youdao, who was inexplicably lying on the ground, Li Shimin and others naturally didn't think about it, and subconsciously believed Empress Changsun's lies.

After prevaricating Li Shimin and the others, Empress Changsun saw that Fang Yiai was not in danger, so she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, bowed to them, and then walked slowly back to the Lizheng Hall.

After Empress Changsun left, Li Shimin gave a wry smile and muttered, "It's said that the mother-in-law loves the son-in-law, according to my opinion."

Before Li Shimin could finish his thoughts, he glanced at Changsun Wuji, saw that his face turned blue and purple, and Tang Taizong, who consciously touched the brow of his uncle, closed his mouth instead.

Although Li Shimin didn't finish his words, the meaning behind his words was fully revealed. After seeing Li Shimin's recognition of "He Zudao" from the bottom of his heart, Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui, Chai Shao and others were all overjoyed. Most of them are past their prime of life now In case of illness or disaster in the future, He Zudao, who is proficient in Qihuang, is naturally the first choice. Because of this and the bonus of talent, Fang Yiai has established a good popularity in the hearts of everyone.

"Son-in-law? When Chong'er wins the top prize in the martial arts field, it's not certain who will be the royal son-in-law!"

After murmuring rather dissatisfied, Changsun Wuji felt unwilling, and with a trace of fantasy, he turned to Li Shimin and said, "Long live, He Zudao's views on policy issues are too radical, and it may not be a good thing to want to govern the country too sharply." what."

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was deliberately obstructing it, Chai Shao and Qin Qiong looked at each other. If they had changed their previous temper on the battlefield, the two old brothers would have rushed forward to beat up Changsun Wuji.

"Has Wuji ever known about Ma Zhou? He is the new supervisory censor. Ma Zhou's point of view is quite different from He Zudao's policy question, so it might be worth a try."

After agreeing to Fang Yiai's policy question paper, Li Shimin, who is proficient in the art of weighing, turned to appease the eldest grandson Wuji, "Young people, your views are always different from ours. How about Chong'er come in? The field is about to start, Wuji has to urge him to practice martial arts diligently!"

Seeing that what Li Shimin said was that Changsun Chong still had a chance to win Li Lizhi, Changsun Wuji was overjoyed immediately, turned to Li Jing, and said, "Chong'er has been learning martial arts diligently from Senior Brother Yao these days, and I think the champion of martial arts is likely to be sure." .”

Seeing that the eldest son is overwhelmed by "He Zudao" everywhere, Changsun Wuji will speak big words, but if there is no Fang Yiai's intrusion, the champion of martial arts will probably belong to Changsun Chong, but now our son-in-law The master is determined to win the champion of martial arts, and it is not known who will win the prize.

Hearing Changsun Wuji's wild words in Haikou, Qin Qiong sneered secretly, and muttered: "Changsun Chong is sure of everything? Fang Jun is a dry man? Even if Fang Jun can't take part in the martial arts examination, I have to call Huaiyu back from Yanmen Pass. It's time to use a mace and knock Changsun Chong off his horse, so that you can see what the Qin family's mace is!"

Recalling Fang Yiai's victory over Changsun Chong on Taibai Mountain in horseback and foot battle, Qin Qiong couldn't help laughing out loud with contempt and disdain on his face.

It didn't matter Qin Qiong's smile, Li Shimin and the others were all attracted to it, and seeing Marshal Qin was so happy from ear to ear, everyone thought of the Taibai Mountain martial arts competition at the same time.

The eldest grandson Wuji knew that Qin Qiong was laughing at his son, so he slapped the table in anger and asked sharply, "Qin Shubao, what do you mean by that!"
