Great Tang Broom Star

  Chapter 517 You have a thick skin like that of Lieutenant Cheng

   "I have assisted the government for many years, and the late emperor trusted me a lot when he was there. How majestic the Tang Dynasty was at that time."

The spring light came in loosely from the outside of the duty room and the window, and shone on Changsun Wuji's gray hair. He looked calm and said lightly: "Lu Dongzan just sent a letter, and his words are quite humble. , This made the old man think of the threat that Zanpu made to the old man when the first emperor died. Now that the man has passed away, if he sees this scene, the old man thinks, he will definitely regret it."

  Chu Suiliang knelt and sat opposite, and raised his head when he heard the words, "It is said that His Majesty took a random look at the letter from Tubo, and was very happy."

"Lu Dongzan bowed his head." Changsun Wuji said quite comfortably: "But be careful, Tubo is a big problem after all. Last time Li Ji and the old man said that Tubo threatened Tuyuhun. If Tuyuhun is defeated, the Western Regions will be in trouble. It is not to be underestimated."

  Chu Suiliang nodded, "The Tubo army is considered strong now, but the Tang Dynasty will not be weaker than them."

   "No, the Tang Dynasty always defeated the strong with the weak. Dengshan, you only saw the strength of the Datang army, but you didn't see the consequences of failure. The Tang Dynasty cannot be defeated."

Changsun Wuji recalled the past, "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were heavy casualties in the melee, and the population of the world was not much. Therefore, there were only so many troops in the Tang Dynasty, and it was impossible to send out hundreds of thousands of troops. Let alone the emptiness in the country, who will plant the land?"

   "This is the magical function of government soldiers." Chu Suiliang smiled and said: "Planting the land on weekdays, and going out to fight in wartime."

   "The fubing is wonderful, but you didn't realize that the population is increasing. When the fields can no longer be divided, the fubing has no land to grow..."

  Changsun Wuji smiled, "This old man thinks too much, let the latecomers worry about it."

   Chu Suiliang suddenly said: "The monks are quite dissatisfied recently."

The eldest grandson Wuji sat upright, with a cold expression on his brow, "Xuanzang became very famous when he came back from learning the Buddhist scriptures. The late emperor also valued him quite a lot in his later years. At that time, the old man had a lot of goodwill towards Buddhism, but now it seems that, Those good intentions are seen as weakness!"

   "That's Jia Ping'an!" Chu Suiliang said angrily, "Auxiliary machine, wouldn't it be better to let those monks mess with him?"

   "Short sighted!"

   Chu Suiliang was annoyed, "Where has the old man been short-sighted?"

"You're still quibbling after you've said it!" Changsun Wuji said coldly: "Fang Wai is Fang Wai, and Fang Wai can be used by us, but once Fang Wai has his own ideas and wants to do something by himself, that is The beginning of the crisis."

   "I don't think that's the case, do you?" Chu Suiliang was determined not to admit his mistake, "Those monks are just enjoying blessings in the monastery and have no ambitions."

   "This shows how pedantic you are!" Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows suddenly, "During the heyday of the former Sui Dynasty, did Emperor Gaozu ever have any ambitions? Probably he only wanted to continue his family's wealth."

   Others dare not say this, but Changsun Wuji said it recklessly.

  Chu Suiliang's expression froze, "You mean, you can't give those outsiders a chance to touch power?"

   "Where does ambition come from?" Changsun Wuji took a sip from his water glass, felt cold, and tapped on the table with his fingers.

   "Meet my husband."

  A small official came in outside, Changsun Wuji pointed to the water cup, and he went out to get hot water.

  Hot water was poured into the water cup, and the water vapor evaporated. In Chu Suiliang's eyes, Changsun Wuji, who was covered by the water vapor, became a little more mysterious.

  The little official bowed out and closed the door behind him.

Changsun Wuji took a sip of hot water and sighed contentedly, "Ambition comes from change. It's like you have two pennies a month, and you can eat and drink every day. If you want to buy a restaurant, probably tell me would laugh."

  The price of a high-end restaurant is not cheap. You can probably only eat a super luxurious set meal in it for two pennies. It is impossible to buy a restaurant.

  Changsun Wuji looked at Chu Suiliang, with more meaning in his eyes, "But if the whole market is in chaos, the risk of opening a restaurant is extremely high, and it doesn't make any money, two pennies... Maybe it can be wild."

   This is desire!

   "Everyone has desires, and desires breed ambitions. The most important thing for us to assist the government is to cut off those people's desires!"

Chu Suiliang took a deep breath, "That's why the so-called Qin lost its deer. When the former Qin was strong and prosperous, the remnants of the six countries only dared to drink and complain. Once the first emperor left, Zhao Gao and others took charge of the government, and there was chaos... This chaos, Only then did those ambitious people have the opportunity to stimulate their desires."

  Changsun Wuji nodded, "So, those monks can make trouble if they want to, but they must know how to measure it. Anyone who dares to touch power..."

   His eyes became colder, "Then we can't stay!"

  Chu Suiliang felt that it was too murderous, so he changed the subject, "Auxiliary machine, His Majesty mentioned the matter of abolishing the Empress vaguely yesterday."

  Changsun Wuji shook his head, "Don't bother."

   Someone knocked on the door outside, "Master, Your Majesty has invited Taoists into the palace."

  Chu Suiliang was taken aback, "This is His Majesty demonstrating to those monks! Who are you inviting?"

   "Tai Shiling and several others said that they have achieved success in cultivation."

   "Go and see."

  The prime ministers then entered the palace.

   Li Chunfeng and several Taoists explained the way of cultivation to the emperor.

   "It's very mysterious!"

  Even Changsun Wuji admired it.

   So the news spread.

  The emperor and the prime ministers jointly listened to the cultivation report of the Taoists, and they spoke highly of it.

   "Whoa!"

   Lei Hong gloated and said, "I feel comfortable now."

   Li Zhi's counterattack came quickly and urgently. Anyone who dares to say that he is weak is really blind.

   Jia Ping’an got out of Baiqi and saw an extra stroke in the old place.

  Damn undercover, what do you want to do?

In the Tietou Restaurant, Zheng Yuandong smiled, "Actually, most of the troubles in the world come from your heart. You have to know that both good and bad are experiences. If a person lives for decades, if this life is full of happiness and abundance, Then these happiness and abundance are also common in your eyes. Then you will look for things that make you feel more happy..."

  Duoduo Jinji is practicing calligraphy independently.

"Good word!" Zheng Yuandong praised, and then continued to spit chicken soup, "Ordinary people can eat two meals a day, and occasionally eat a meal of meat, then they feel happy. But rich people eat meat all day, But they feel boring, and only better food can move them. This is the endless desire. If you want to be happy, you have to control your desire first."

   Lots of deadpan writing.

   "You said that you practice calligraphy every day when you have free time. Is it interesting?"

  Zheng Yuandong shook his head and sighed, "The good old days are wasted on paper, hey!"

  Many glanced at him, "You said that people should have as few desires as before, but now you are talking about what to do when you have a good time. It can be seen that your words are used to deceive people."

"I…"

   Zheng Yuandong's face became hot when he said these words, "Actually..."

  Duoduo said coldly: "Actually, men like to show off in front of women. If they can get a woman's favor, they will be very happy when they turn around. Isn't that right?"

   Can you stop slapping your face like this... Zheng Yuandong was speechless.

   "So you often say this because you want to tell me that you are very pure-hearted and ascetic. But if you are really pure-hearted, why do you run around?"

  I just can't help myself!

   Zheng Yuandong smiled wryly.

   Duoduo put down the brush, took a deep breath, looked at the words carefully, and felt that he had improved again, Kaisen!

   "Marquis of Wuyang!"

  Jia Ping'an is here.

  Duo Duoduo laughed and said, "I also ask Marquis Wuyang for advice."

  Jia Pingan nodded to Zheng Yuandong, then went to look at many words.

   Duoduo stood beside him, the two of them were almost side by side, and Duoduo raised his head sideways from time to time, asking Jia Pingan with his eyes.

  This girl's eyes can speak, but she was cold to me just now.

   They are all men, why favor one over another?

"good."

   Jia Ping'an thought it was really good, much better than himself.

   This is the calligraphy student I taught!

   Duoduo immediately resigned, leaving room for them to meet.

   Zheng Yuandong sighed.

   "Is this bad luck?" Jia Pingan felt that Lao Zheng was an idealist who liked to pursue illusory things. But he is a shrewd person in real life, no wonder he can adapt to the undercover job.

"wait!"

   Zheng Yuandong closed his eyes.

   Damn it!

   Jia Ping'an's mentality exploded, "Don't say that you were still from there before!"

  Zheng Yuandong nodded slightly, opened his eyes, and said faintly: "I'm back."

  If you say that again, believe it or not, I will beat you to death!

   Jia Ping'an felt his scalp tingling.

   Zheng Yuandong exhaled, his body relaxed, "That's great."

   Sooner or later this product will fall apart.

   "What's the matter?"

   Jia Pingan felt that it was time for him to visit Gao Yang.

   "Earlier, Changsun Wuji and others were discussing matters, and it was mentioned that the steward of Princess Xincheng's house died."

  Xincheng...the delicate feet that Jia Ping'an thought of.

   and that sentence, you really are friends!

   "If you die, you will die. When did you like gossip so much, Old Zheng?"

  When did I like gossip?

Zheng Yuandong said coldly: "The steward has embezzled a lot of money, and now some people outside say that Changsun Quan is the person behind the steward, stealing the princess's money through him. Changsun Wuji was furious, saying that this cousin is by no means such. people."

   Tsk tsk!

   Jia Ping'an gloated, "This is yellow mud falling on the crotch, it's not shit, it's shit."

   "Can you stop being so vulgar?" Zheng Yuandong seemed to be a delicate man, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard these words.

   "Old Zheng, if you go on like this, you will definitely have a cleanliness in the future. Do you know what a cleanliness is?" Jia Pingan said with joy, "When you touch things at home, you will wash your hands until they turn white, just like a zombie."

   "Why is it so so when I talk to you..." Zheng Yuandong almost exploded, "Let's talk about business."

   "Where did you say that...?" Zheng Yuandong forgot.

  Jia Pingan said with a sympathetic face: "Old Zheng, you are so old that you are forgetful."

   Zheng Yuandong was furious, and patted the table, "Speak well."

   "Okay!" Jia Pingan felt that Lao Zheng liked pouring chicken soup too much, so he used such methods to deal with him.

   "Princess Xincheng has a close relationship with His Majesty. After this incident, His Majesty reportedly turned cold-hearted and secretly said that this son-in-law was not selected well."

   Then kill grandson Quan and choose a son-in-law for Xincheng?

  Jia Ping'an and Changsun Quan's family are logically enemies, so he doesn't care.

   "Changsun Wuji was very annoyed, and asked Wang Qi and others to investigate. But your majesty...you know, he is magnanimous."

When it comes to magnanimity, Zheng Yuandong gave Jia Pingan a look that you understand, "Your Majesty said that he feels sorry for this sister, and asked Baiqi to investigate. Changsun Wuji probably thought of you, so I said we will talk about it in three days. I came here to think about it." Let me tell you, Changsun Wuji and His Majesty have secretly confronted each other several times regarding the abolition of the empress, and if this matter is not resolved, it will be a place for them to confront each other, so please take care of yourself."

  Old Zheng is interesting!

  Jia Pingan shouted: "Serve wine and food, good wine and good food!"

   Zheng Yuandong smiled wryly, "If I didn't speak for you, would I lose everything?"

   "Old Zheng, you are really smart!"

  Zheng Yuandong absolutely fell.

  …

  Wang Qi led people to search around the princess's house.

   "Many veterans of the Criminal Ministry have read it. Wang Jin did commit suicide, but why he didn't leave a suicide note is very puzzling."

   Zhou Xing glanced at Chen Erniang as he spoke.

  Chen Erniang disguised herself as a man today, looking heroic and valiant, especially alluring.

  Wang Qi’s Yin Hong lips were tightly pursed, and he sneered, “First, the princess found out that the accounts were incorrect, and a large amount of money went missing, and then it was discovered that it was all the money that Wang Jin got out of it...and Changsun Quan and Wang Jin are on good terms..."

  Chen Erniang said: "The princess is in charge of the house, and Changsun Quan is just attached. If he doesn't make good friends with Wang Jin, many things will be very troublesome."

  Wang Qi nodded, "The son-in-law is more of an attachment. But it was said that the son-in-law and Wang Jin teamed up to steal the princess's money, and His Majesty was angry."

  Chen Erniang said: "Your Majesty has a lot of brotherly affection for the princess. During the first emperor, the princess was granted the seal at the age of eight, which broke the precedent for all the princesses, and the number has continued to increase. Speaking of which, this is the richest one."

  Gaoyang was favored by the first emperor, but Xincheng was not only favored by the first emperor, but so was Li Zhi.

  The princess, who is loved by all kinds of things, is actually stolen by the steward and the concubine. Li Zhi is not angry.

  The corners of Wang Qi's mouth curled up slightly, "The son-in-law's family is not bad, so he won't steal money."

  Zhou Xing said softly: "But Your Majesty needs a son-in-law to steal money."

   "You think I don't know?"

  Wang Qi looked cold.

  How did I steal the limelight?

  Zhou Xing lowered his head, "The lower official made a mistake."

   "If this matter cannot be found out, the son-in-law will have a reputation for stealing money, so... within three days, everyone must work together."

  …

  Three days later, Wang Qi went to Changsun Wuji.

   "Wang Jin definitely committed suicide, and the whereabouts of the money is unknown."

  Changsun Wuji said calmly: "Can Changsun Quan participate?"

  Sanggong actually doubted him?

  Wang Qi whispered: "No trace was found."

  Changsun Wuji nodded, and when Wang Qi retreated to the door, he said slowly: "People who don't put their hearts into it are useless!"

  Useless people, why do they exist in this world?

   Waste of food!

  Wang Qi understood this sentence, and his heart trembled slightly.

  Chu Suiliang came, "How about that?"

   "It has nothing to do with Changsun Quan, but the person in charge is dead, and the whereabouts of the money can't be found, so let's leave it at that."

  In the palace, Li Zhi asked about this matter.

   "It is said that it has nothing to do with the son-in-law, but the whereabouts of the money have not been found."

  Wang Zhongliang thought of Princess Xincheng, and felt that she was a proud son of heaven, but it was a pity that the first emperor later hated Wei Zheng and annulled the marriage.

   "I can give you more money, but the steward over there in Xincheng actually colluded with others, which makes me uneasy."

  Does this mean to ask Baiqi to investigate in this direction?

  Wang Zhongliang went to Baiqi himself.

   "Money is not important, what is important is to find out who Wang Jin colluded with!"

   Sure enough, the royal family is generous and not short of money, so why is it withheld when rewarding them?

   Could it be that Li Zhi is a miser?

  Jia Pingan took the order and asked, "Well... do we have a deadline here?"

   is a smart man!

  Wang Zhongliang said: "Although His Majesty didn't say anything, naturally the sooner the better."

"Set off!"

   Jia Ping'an led his men out of Baiqi, and Ming Jing hurriedly chased after him, "I have to go."

  Before she was looking at the 'shopping cart', and she was fascinated by it, but now she looks scared.

   "The princess is quite favored by Your Majesty. If I am not here, you will definitely make mistakes. In the end, I will be unlucky."

   Jia Pingan squinted at her, "You have a thick skin like that of Lieutenant Cheng!"

  Cheng Da, who stayed behind, sneezed.

  Ming Jing was angry, "If I hadn't touched it last time, you might have found the gold?"

   "Your words are ambiguous." Jia Pingan glanced at Ming Jing, "What is the gold you touched? It was clearly found by me. The only thing you could do at that time was..."

   "Jia Pingan!"

  Ming Jing stares threateningly.

  It would be fine if she begged with soft words, but she actually threatened...

   "The only thing you could do at the time was..."

   "Marquis of Wuyang!" Ming Jing's eyes were full of pleading.

  Jia Ping'an sighed, Ming Jing secretly rejoiced, thinking that when she got a reward, she would stay away from Baiqidai, don't want to look good!

   Jia Pingan coughed dryly, "Marquis Wuyang, I touched a hand, help..."

  Ming Jing blushed, "Jia Ping'an, I'm going to kill you!"

   "Drive!"

  A Bao ran away, leaving Ming Jing behind.

Ming Jing pretended to be calm and said: "I touched a stone arm at the time, you know, it was pitch black night, and it was bitingly cold, so I asked him what it was, as for calling for help, there is no such thing thing."

   "Yes! Ming Zhong officials are mighty."

   Bao Dong and others were awe-inspiring.

  It seems that my prestige in Baiqi is still good, that **** can't discredit me!

   Ming Jing proud.

   "Shouldn't people have sleeves on their hands? The stone statue's arms are bare... Can this be mistaken?"

  Ming Jing's body was stiff.

  Jia Ping'an, don't even think about repaying the Baiqi loan.

   Arrived at the place, the steward came out with a sad look on his face, "The princess is sick from anger."

   Was it because of the steward's theft, or because of the rumors that the son-in-law was cooperating with others?

  Jia Ping'an thinks it's fake.

  The Xincheng who patted him on the shoulder and said he was a good friend, how could he be so weak.

   "Uh! I want to see the princess and ask some questions, is it convenient?"

  The steward shook his head, "Less less than 20 people came to see the princess today, and the princess will not see anyone. You..."

  Why do you waste emoticons!

   Jia Pingan said lightly: "Try it, maybe the princess has changed her mind."

hehe!

  Not only is he in charge, but also Ming Jing behind him.

  The steward reluctantly nodded, "I'll report."

   Jia Pingan nodded to express his gratitude.

  Ming Jing said coldly: "The princess is weak. Most of those people who came today were worried that she would be angry. Most of them are relatives. What is your relationship with the princess? I also want to see her, dreaming!"

   Jia Pingan gave her a fierce look.

   You are in peace!

   Ming Jing was furious!

  The steward came out with a shocked expression on his face.

  Before and after approaching, he bowed his hands earnestly, "Please also ask Marquis Wuyang to follow me."

   Isn't the princess not seeing guests? Ming Jing: "..."
