Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 361

"Accomplice" Bai Jian stood on the side of the Longshu case, looked at the furious Li Shimin, and murmured, "Long live?"

When there was no answer, Bai Jian tremblingly took out a bright yellow memorial from her bosom, and said timidly, "Long live, there is a memorial."

"What brochure? Do you want to hand it in now?" Li Shimin raised his head leisurely and looked at Bai Jian with sullen eyes.

Bai Jian presented the memorial with both hands, bowed and said: "It's the paper handed over by Honglu Temple. The envoys from the Bohai Kingdom who came to pay tribute arrived in Chang'an last night."

"Bohai country?" Li Shimin took the paper, frowning slightly, "The small border country is entangled with the Turks, it's clearly a fool! I'm afraid I'm here to spy on me!"

At the same time as Li Shimin opened the booklet, Li Lizhi walked into the Zichen Palace surrounded by all the officials.

Seeing Li Lizhi's return, Li Shimin put down his notebook, and asked with concern and anxiety in his eyes: "Where did you go last night?"

As soon as this remark was made, before Li Lizhi could reply, the four of them, Changsun Wuji, fell to their knees on the ground.

Seeing the four people kneeling on the ground, Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat, and Li Lizhi decided to visit Fang Jun at night.

Li Lizhi lightly moved her lotus steps, walked up to the Longshu table, bowed her knees, and saluted. The crimson official clothes she was wearing had not been changed, and her eyes showed a fearless look.

"Last night, my daughter went to the procuratorate to see Fang Lang." After Fang Yiai's hard work, Li Lizhi's disposition changed a lot overnight, and she became less restrained when facing her father.

"Fang Lang!" Li Shimin jumped up at the table, pointing at Li Lizhi who was in disguise, his eyes almost burst into flames.

"Fang Jun, Fang Yi'ai! I should have killed you before!" Li Shimin murmured angrily, but the thought of killing Fang Yi'ai suddenly disappeared a lot.

Facing Tang Taizong's anger, Li Lizhi was not afraid of Tang Taizong's anger. She bit Zhu Chen lightly, opened her white teeth, and said word by word: "My daughter has achieved the ceremony of Zhou Gong with the son-in-law, so I will go back to the palace to prepare the white silk. Going to Huangquan, Yu Shu'er will follow him!"

After finishing the words, Li Lizhi was already too shy. She felt shy just thinking about these words, let alone saying them in front of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others.

Tang Taizong was so angry that he poured all his anger on the Longshu table. After kicking over the dead Longshu table, he said angrily, "What is Bai Ling doing? Are you threatening?" widow?"

"Daughter doesn't dare, so I'll leave first." With tears in her eyes, Li Lizhi squatted down to salute, and her frail figure disappeared in the Zichen Palace in an instant.

Looking at the back of his daughter leaving, Li Shimin had the idea of ​​killing people, his hands were like sifting chaff, and he said to Bai Jian: "Hurry up, there is a mistake this time, I will light the sky lantern for you!"

Bai Jian was secretly rejoicing that Fang Yi'ai had a way to survive, when she heard Li Shimin's words suddenly, she couldn't help shivering, and then strode to chase Li Lizhi.

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Shimin looked at the four eldest grandson Wuji who were kneeling at his highness, and sighed, "Get up."

Changsun Wuji stood up, and immediately said: "Long live, Fang Jun is deserving of death for cheating the eldest princess, please Long live to chop him up in the city!"

"Killed in the market? What about the widow's two daughters?" Li Shimin looked at each other coldly, turning a deaf ear to the elder grandson Wuji's words.

Ma Zhou had the idea of ​​rescuing Fang Yiai in his heart, seeing the golden opportunity in a thousand years, how could he miss it, "Long live, although Fang Jun misbehaved, but he didn't confess at all in court, I think Xiao Rui's death has another reason."

Ma Zhou's words instantly shifted the focus of the topic from "Li Lizhi's private meeting with her lover" to "Xiao Rui's sudden death case". The thoughts of Li Shimin who was angry again.

"Fang Jun didn't give a statement? I heard that his knees were crushed by you!" Since the incident of Fang Yiai's alias, Li Shimin has thoroughly cleaned up the spies in Chang'an City. There are eyes and ears in the government of important ministers, and the procuratorate, which is concerned with the supervision of all officials, is naturally the most important thing.

The four of them looked at each other, although they knew that Fang Yiai was pretending, but at this juncture, who would dare to be serious with Li Shimin, who was on the verge of anger?
Li Shimin walked down the high platform, bent down to pick up the memorial that fell on the ground, stroked his beard and thought: "Let's talk about something serious, the envoy of Bohai Kingdom arrived in Chang'an last night. The court meeting will have an audience with the widow tomorrow morning. There is uncertainty between the Celestial Dynasty and the Turkic Dynasty, I am afraid that this visit is called a tribute, but it is actually a visit to find out the truth of my dynasty."

The four of them took advantage of Li Shimin's speech and hurriedly fixed the Long Shu's case before returning to His Highness.

"Long live, although Bohai Kingdom has a small territory, it is located between the throat fortresses of Xiliang, Goguryeo and other vassal states. If he raises troops to rebel, I am afraid that the remaining countries will also be affected." Wei Zheng said about his advantages and disadvantages.

Seeing the state affairs being discussed, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to suppress his thoughts of adding fuel to the flames, and cupped his hands and said, "I'm afraid Bohai Kingdom will make things difficult for you here, but what kind of tribute will you pay?"

Li Shimin opened the memorial, read it briefly, shook his head, and said, "Buddha bone relics? Bohai also produced eminent monks?"

Knowing that Bohai Kingdom entered the palace, Changsun Wuji had an idea, and casually recommended his new friends, "Long live, since Bohai Kingdom has entered the palace with Buddha bone relics, I think tomorrow morning they will use Buddhism as an excuse to make things difficult for me." Bang, I heard that there is a Venerable Master Bianji in Huichang Temple in Jinchengfang. This man is a disciple of Master Xuanzang. Envoys debate."

"Monk Bianji?" When Bianji was mentioned, Li Shimin suddenly thought of the rumors in Chang'an City, "This person has something to do with Shu'er. At present, the ministers of the court and China are not accomplished in Buddhism, so let's make an exception and use him once."

While the few people were chatting, Bai Jian, who went to chase Li Lizhi, returned to the Zichen Palace, "Long live, the Eldest Princess has gone to the Lizheng Palace to meet the queen."

"Understood." Li Shimin nodded in response, thinking of the scene of his daughter crying, this emperor through the ages would inevitably feel dizzy.

Li Shimin's mood changed a bit, and then he said to Changsun Wuji: "When the court meeting tomorrow, let the top ten first-class Jinshi in the current department come to watch, so as to show off the young talents of my Tang Dynasty."

Ma Zhou didn't wait for eldest grandson Wuji to respond, and said, "Long live the Qi report, since the Xuanxin Ke Scholars are watching together, what should we do with the new champion?"

Thinking of Fang Yiai's thorny head, Li Shimin's mouth twitched a few times, pondered for a while, and finally said helplessly: "Call him here for now!"

"But I don't know whether to announce him into the palace tomorrow morning or tonight?" Bai Jian asked timidly.

"I still have to wear robes, but it will be too late tomorrow morning"

Li Shimin looked at Bai Jian sideways, and suddenly an inspiration flashed, "Closer him to the palace tonight and ask him to live with you."

"Me? The number one scholar and the son-in-law live in the prison courtyard? That's the courtier?" Bai Jian muttered halfway, but was frightened by Li Shimin's cold eyes and closed her mouth.

After discussing for a while about announcing the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom, Li Shimin glanced at Ma Zhou and Bai Jian, and said, "Ma Zhou, Bai Jian, you two, go and bring Fang Jun into the palace, and ask someone to give him Heal the leg injury, don't crawl to attend the court meeting tomorrow, the widow's face will be completely lost by him!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin walked out of Zichen Hall complaining endlessly, and went to Lizheng Hall to listen to his wife and daughter nagging.

Ma Zhou and Bai Jian walked quickly towards the palace gate. Although their cheeks were tense, smiles emerged from their eyes.

Just when the two walked to the palace gate, they saw Wang Youdao walking in front of them.

"Brother, where are you going out of the palace?" Bai Jian trotted to catch up with Wang Youdao, and asked with a smile.

Wang Youdao swept the fly broom, and said in a low voice, "According to the Queen's order, go to the Procuratorate Prison to get some things."

As soon as this remark came out, Bai Jian was at a loss, but Ma Zhou lowered his head and smiled lightly, with a look of "I understand".

When they came to the prison, Fang Yiai was sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating. Seeing Bai Jian and the three of them coming together, she thought, "Don't ask, it must be my father-in-law who came to beat me."

"Ma Yushi, Director Bai, and Director Wang, the three of you are here."

Before Fang Yiai could finish speaking, Wang Youdao blushed and walked to the bedside, and hugged the quilt in his arms.

"What are you doing!" Fang Yiai looked at Wang Youdao curiously, and said angrily, "Brother, are you going to freeze me to death? These quilts are made of coarse linen, and they are not worth a lot of money. You grab them and make them." what."

Wang Youdao only got an oral order from Empress Changsun, and he had a hundred questions about why he wanted to hug the quilt.

Ma Zhou walked up to Fang Yiai with a smile, and whispered something in his ear, and then the two looked at each other and laughed, which could be called a wild laugh.

"Brother, what happened to Zhuangyuan Lang and Ma Yushi?"

"I don't know, I'm afraid I'm crazy?"

Listening to the two men's muttering, Fang Yiai walked up to Wang Youdao and Bai Jian, said with a smirk, "Bosses, you are laymen in this matter."

"layman."

Thinking of Li Lizhi's overnight stay in the prison last night, Bai Jian and Wang Youdao blushed immediately, looked at each other, and murmured awkwardly, "It turns out that we are laymen who want the red hair on the mattress."
