Great Tang Broom Star

  Chapter 791 Military Merit

  From the beginning to the end of the handling of Changsun Wuji's case, Li Yuanying saw everything in his eyes. He just shrank in his duty room, leaving the door every day, and not stepping in the second door until the dust settled.

  Yu Chi Xunyu felt that his reaction was overdone, like a shrinking turtle.

   "Eldest Sun Wuji is the eldest grandson Wuji. He brought a group of people across the court to threaten His Majesty. Why don't these people die? You did not commit any crime, Prince Teng, but you were so frightened that you shrank your head like a chicken..."

  Li Yuanying's gradually fat face showed a little helplessness, "What do you know?"

   Changsun Wuji and the emperor used the so-called treason case to kill how many people in one fell swoop? Among them are princes and princesses...Political struggles are so cruel, even if he is just a weak and helpless marginalized person, he is still worried about being involved like a frightened bird.

  He got up and walked out, looking greedily at the sun, "It feels so good to see the sun again."

  If possible, he is willing to stay away from Chang'an. But the farther away he is from Chang'an, the easier he is to be suspected.

   Today is the day he goes to see his mother. Thinking of this, Li Yuanying was delighted.

  He turned back and went in, rummaged through a box, and found a lot of things, all packed in a bag.

   "I don't know what A Niang eats."

  Li Yuanying thought about it.

  Yu Chi Xunyu said: "Now there are a lot of delicious food outside, you should bring some in anyway."

Um!

  Li Yuanying personally went to the Dongxi market to buy things. When he saw this thing, he wanted to buy it, and when he saw that thing, he also wanted to buy it... When he returned home, he even pulled a half-drawn cart.

  The wives and concubines in the family were surprised when they saw it, and then rejoiced.

   "Prince Teng still misses us..."

   A group of wives and concubines were all moved.

   Naturally, it is impossible to bring all these things in. Li Yuanying carefully selected the food that his mother likes, and the others...

   "You wait for yourself to divide."

  In the past, Li Yuanying would not buy things for them, and he would not look very good when he saw them on weekdays. The relationship between them is not like a wife and concubine, but more like a man and a woman relationship... When you need it, you are 2333, and when you don’t need it, you are a passerby.

  The wife and concubine were moved to tears, thinking that he had finally discovered the goodness of women, and would change his mind from now on.

   Li Yuanying was packing, he wanted to bring as many things as possible, so he couldn't make it well many times.

  When a concubine saw this, she felt that this was a good opportunity for a higher position.

   "Prince Teng, I will pack my burden."

  Li Yuanying looked up at her with cold eyes, then lowered his head and continued.

   After packing the package, when the time came, Li Yuanying entered the palace.

  Yu Chi Xunyu was looking for him, and when he saw him, he said: "Wang Yuanyuan has arrived in Chang'an, and there is news."

  Li Yuanying said: "Let's wait until I come out."

  Liu Baolin had already been waiting outside the hall. When he saw Li Yuanying coming, he couldn't help saying happily: "Yuanying baby..."

  Li Yuanying carried the burden on his back, raised his hands, and smiled happily like a child, "Mother."

"come on in."

  Liu Baolin dragged him in.

   "Hurry up and make tea, the latest good tea. Also, get some food, Yuan Ying is actually thin... Can't those women take good care of you?"

  Liu Baolin was busy.

  Li Yuanying touched his gradually plump face, and said with a smile: "Yes, I feel that I have lost a lot of weight recently."

  Liu Baolin said with a smile on his face: "I said I lost weight, as expected."

  Li Yuanying opened the bundle.

   "Aniang, this is the latest tea, this is the dim sum that just came out in Dongshi..."

  A servant came in, glanced at those things, and said: "I want to teach Liu Baolin and King Teng that something is wrong in the palace recently, and people often throw things away. From today on, no one else is allowed to come in..."

  Liu Baolin was startled, and then smiled and said: "Got it, got it. Don't worry, Baby Yuan, it will be fine slowly."

  But Li Yuanying is not what it used to be. After several years in charge of smuggling, his ability to judge people is extraordinary. Seeing the sarcasm in the servant's eyes, he knew that things were not that simple.

   "Why?"

   Li Yuanying asked.

  The servant said indifferently: "As we said, it is because of the unrest in the palace and too many outsiders..."

   Is this for our mother and child?

  Li Yuanying asked with a smile: "How long?"

  The waiter laughed, "We are just a small person, how do we know how long it will take?" He looked at Liu Baolin, and said pointedly: "Maybe half a year, maybe...a few years, maybe..."

  When did the palace become uneasy?

  Li Yuanying enters the palace once a month, and has never heard of it... and seeing the surprised looks of several maids in the palace, this servant is clearly lying.

  If it was before, he could only bow his head. But at this moment, Li Yuanying sneered and said, "Is this deliberately making things difficult for our mother and son? Dare to ask, but I offended you..."

   "Meta Baby!"

   Liu Baolin stopped him.

  These servants can be said to be an existence that shrouds the sky for them, and they cannot be offended.

   "Aniang, he is deliberately making things difficult!"

  The servant said coldly: "The words have been brought, so Prince Teng can take care of himself."

  Li Yuanying was furious, and cursed: "You bitch, I will definitely make you pay the price."

  The servant looked contemptuously, shook his head and went out.

   It’s just helping the emperor to take charge of the smuggling, just like those servants in the palace, what are you talking about?

Liu Baolin went out to take a look, and when he came back, he sighed and said: "This man is called Wei Zhi. He just came here and took care of us concubines of our ancestors and late emperors. A Niang also has some enemies. When Wei Zhi came, those few An enemy gave him a benefit, and urged him to deal with us..."

  She said softly: "Yuan Baoying, don't be anxious, Wei Zhi won't stay here for a few years, and all these things will be solved by then."

  How many years?

   Li Yuanying burst into anger, then suppressed it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, I can handle it."

   Liu Baolin said angrily: "This is the harem, how do you solve it? It's better to do your business, I'm fine in the palace."

  Li Yuanying left later.

  He smiled, and then went outside the imperial city.

  Wang Yuanyuan has been waiting for a long time. After seeing him, she smiled and said, "Prince Teng is becoming more and more powerful."

  Since rescuing Datang's secret spies, Wang Yuanyuan has become the number one smuggler among the smugglers, with the first-class goods and the cheapest price... Even Li Yuanying and others treat him kindly.

   "Find a place to talk."

  They had a stronghold outside, and when they arrived, Wang Yuanyuan began to talk about the news they had received this time.

   "...The Great Tang attacked Liaodong at that time. After getting the news, Lu Dongzan called up the army and prepared food, grass and weapons..."

"etc!"

  Li Yuanying stretched out his hand, "Which side to attack?"

   "Go west."

   "Westside..."

  Jia Pingan analyzed the current situation for them, and described the opponents facing Datang from a macro level, as well as their priorities. Li Yuanying took these lessons very seriously, and now I think about it...

  West, that is Zongcongling, ready to attack Anxi.

   This is important news, which means that after Tuyuhun hit a wall many times, Tubo changed the direction of attack.

   "You continue."

   Li Yuanying recorded while listening.

   "But not long after we set off, news came that Datang conquered half of Goryeo and returned to the teacher. According to reports, Lu Dongzan stayed up all night after hearing the news, and his hair turned gray a lot the next day..."

  Mr. said that when a power becomes strong, it will naturally draw its sword and look around to find its opponent. Tubo tried several times to plot the Great Tang, but failed repeatedly. Lu Dongzan must have been devastated.

  It's a good day, but I have to come to provoke Datang.

   Later, Li Yuanying asked to see the emperor.

   "Your Majesty, there is news from Tubo that when the Tang Dynasty attacked Liaodong, Lu Dongzan assembled a large army, and then the news came that the Tang Dynasty captured half of Goryeo and withdrew the troops, and Lu Dongzan called off the attack..."

   "This is trying to take advantage of the fire."

  Li Zhi thought about the situation at that time: the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were approaching Yalushui, but Jia Ping'an suggested to withdraw the troops at this point, and sit back and watch the four countries fight each other. Now it seems that this advice could not be more correct.

   "Your Majesty." Li Yuanying thought of Wei Zhi, with a ruthless look in his eyes, "I asked before, and said that the Tubo army went to the west... Your Majesty, go to Congling there, and then attack Anxi."

  Li Zhi's eyes turned cold, "What a thief!"

  If the army is constantly attacking in Liaodong and becomes entangled, and Tubo launches an offensive in the distant Anxi, the situation is not optimistic.

   What a Ludong Zan!

  Li Yuanying said calmly: "Your Majesty, I will go back later to collect some information, and see how long it takes for Tubo to gather the army after receiving the news..."

   This is an important thing.

  Once detailed data is available, Datang will be able to judge the speed of Tubo’s troop deployment based on this data next time, which is a priceless treasure!

  This King Teng has grown more and more.

  Li Zhi praised: "If this matter is done, it will be a great contribution to the country."

  Li Yuanying then went back, found those smugglers, asked repeatedly about the specific information about the dispatch, and deliberated back and forth. I went to ask Baiqi about Tubo-related news...

  Late at night, the entire city of Chang'an was asleep, and the study in Prince Teng's Mansion was still brightly lit.

  The servant fell asleep leaning against the wall, and Li Yuanying's desk was full of sheets of paper. He glanced here and there, and then calculated.

  His eyes were red, tiredness kept coming.

   "Come here."

  The servant woke up, and Li Yuanying ordered: "Get Jiang."

  The servant was puzzled, thinking that King Teng still wanted to have a supper?

  Jiang was brought, and the servant asked: "Prince Teng, do you want to wake up the cook?"

  Li Yuanying shook his head, bit it off with one bite, and the spiciness stimulated his energy.

   "King Teng..."

  The servant did not expect that he used **** to refresh himself.

   Li Yuanying continued to calculate with **** in his mouth.

   Occasionally raised his head in thought, his eyes were resolute.

   oh oh oh!

   When the **** crowed, Li Yuanying yawned and looked carefully at his calculation results.

   "Get ready for breakfast."

   After breakfast, Li Yuanying went to the palace to see the emperor.

   Harem.

  Liu Baolin paced slowly after dinner.

  Time went by, and she has changed from that innocent and lively girl to a woman who is not afraid of honor or disgrace.

   Several concubines of Gaozu were whispering on the side.

   "Liu Baolin is here."

   "This time we bribed Wei Zhi and cut off their mother and son from seeing each other. She must be heartbroken."

"Unrecognizable."

   "This is pretending to be calm."

  A concubine raised her voice and shouted: "Liu Baolin, I heard that your mother and son will never see each other again?"

   This is to sprinkle salt on the wound and poke the lung tube.

   Liu Baolin glanced at her, "Bitch."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

   Several women laughed heartily, viciously and comfortably.

  When Liu Baolin entered the palace, Emperor Gaozu was very old. Seeing Liu Baolin's innocence and cuteness, and full of girlishness, he pampered her exclusively and successfully made her have a child. This special pet was envied and hated by all kinds of people, and it broke out at that time.

  Emperor Gaozu went, but these grievances still remained, fermenting and performing in the harem.

   "Your son heard that he was in charge of dirty things, Liu Baolin, aren't you worried?"

   "It's not just a matter of pickling, it's shameful to say it!"

   Liu Baolin walked slowly with his usual expression on his face.

   "She's at a loss for words."

   "She walks like this every day, let's not go, and humiliate her later when she comes back."

  …

  The officials hadn't seen this scumbag King Teng for a long time, and when they saw him enter the palace, they couldn't help but look at him curiously.

   "Your Majesty, I stayed up all night and calculated the time required for the Tubo people to send troops."

   "Oh!" Li Zhi didn't expect it to be so fast.

   "If Tubo dispatches a large army, starting from the decision, it will need to deploy sergeants from various places, and prepare food, grass and supplies... Calculated by the minister, it will take 13 days."

  He took out a memorial, and Wang Zhongliang came to pick it up.

   This is a leapfrog delivery, the two big bosses under the door and Zhongshu all took a look at Li Yuanying.

   Li Zhi looked at the memorial carefully.

  This memorial first lists all kinds of information obtained, followed by calculations, how long will it take for each item... Finally, add them up one by one, and come to a conclusion in 13 days.

"good!"

  Li Zhi praised: "With this, Datang will be more confident in judging Tubo's movements and timing."

  The officials were puzzled, Li Ji asked: "Your Majesty, may I show the old minister?"

   Li Zhi laughed and said, "Show the gentlemen."

  The memorial was passed down.

  Li Ji was the first to read it, and after reading it, he couldn't help saying happily: "Your Majesty, this is military merit!"

  The prime ministers saw it one by one, and couldn't help but look at the scumbag with admiration.

  Xu Jingzong said: "King Teng's memorial is clear at a glance. From the beginning to the conclusion, it is clear and straightforward. By the way, how do I feel that I have seen this before..."

  He frowned and thought for a while, "That's right, the old man had seen Duke Wu Yang write in the same way before... List the conditions, then start the calculation, and finally get the result... This is the method of arithmetic."

  Thank you for your teaching, Mr. Li Yuanying nodded, "It's the method of Professor Wu Yanggong."

  This kind of technique like a proof question is full of praise.

   "Your Majesty, King Teng is quite sensitive, or..."

  Xu Jingzong almost committed a taboo. He wanted to suggest that Li Yuanying be brought into the court to serve, at least to give him an official position. But this is the clan, and such things are taboo, and can only be decided by the emperor.

  Li Zhi said with a smile: "Prince Teng has been quite outstanding in recent years, and I am also thinking... let's go to Honglu Temple."

   Those who do not care about smuggling go to Honglu Temple, which complements each other.

  The prime ministers all think this method is good.

   It's time to thank you.

  Li Yuanying did not respond.

Wang Zhongliang's expression turned cold, and just as he was about to reprimand him, Li Yuanying stepped forward and said sincerely: "Thank you for your attention, but I'm a lazy person, and I like to mess around in the past, but fortunately, Your Majesty didn't give up and left me in the capital to control you." Over the past few years, I have become more and more aware that my previous life was absurd, but I will eventually change it slowly. Your Majesty, now I am still a little... unreliable, and I absolutely dare not serve in the court. I implore Your Majesty to forgive me."

   It is common for the clan to be suspected. Li Yuanying's seniority is too high, and he is the emperor's uncle. Once someone tricks him into rebellion... the emperor's uncle climbs up and shouts, that influence will be enormous.

  Li Zhi gave a position at Honglu Temple on the spur of the moment, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate. But the emperor did what he said, but he couldn't go back on his word.

  Unexpectedly, Li Yuanying took the initiative to retreat, which made Li Zhi heave a sigh of relief.

  He was in a good mood, and praised: "Prince Teng has become more and more aware of the general situation, and I am very relieved."

  The prime ministers had a clear understanding of the emperor's thoughts, and they all felt that Li Yuanying had really changed his appearance.

  But it is not Mingjun's doing not to reward those who have meritorious service!

  Li Zhi was thinking about what to reward.

   Li Yuanying is not short of money, so what should I reward...

   "What reward do you want?" Li Zhi suddenly wanted to try Li Yuanying's eyes.

  Li Yuanying said: "Your Majesty, I have been so cared for by His Majesty, and it is hard to repay him. How dare I ask for a reward?"

  His eyes were red, looking at the truth.

  This King Teng has become more and more informed.

   Li Zhi was quite satisfied.

Li Yuanying sniffed, "I went to see my mother in the palace yesterday. A servant Wei Zhi said that there is something wrong with the palace. I think it's so difficult in your Majesty's harem. If I ask for rewards again, what kind of situation is this?" Shameless! Minister, absolutely dare not."

Um!

  Wei Zhi...something wrong in the palace?

  Li Zhi said calmly: "So, I know."

   Afterwards, he praised a few words, and Li Yuanying left.

   Li Zhi glanced at Wang Zhongliang.

  Wang Zhongliang was also wondering, thinking that there is nothing wrong with the palace recently!

   It was hard to ask this question, and Wang Zhongliang chased after him when he went out.

   "King Teng, King Teng and so on!"

   Li Yuanying turned around in a daze, "What's the matter?"

  Wang Zhongliang took a breath, "Dare to ask King Teng, what did Wei Zhi say?"

  Li Yuanying looked troubled.

"this…"

  Wang Zhongliang said eagerly: "Please also tell the truth to King Teng, we are very grateful."

   "Hey!" Li Yuanying said: "Yesterday when the king went to see his mother, Wei Zhi barged in, saying that the palace has been in trouble recently, and it may take several years to isolate outsiders from entering and leaving."

  Wang Zhongliang understood instantly, and took a deep look at Li Yuanying, "Thank you, Prince Teng."

   What a Wei Zhi!

  After the discussion was over, Wang Zhongliang said the matter.

   "Prince Teng is outside the palace, and he only goes to Liu Baolin when he enters the palace every month. It is impossible for the two to have any grudges, so the servant thinks that this is for Liu Baolin."

   "There is no peace in the palace? You dare to act like a domineering, how courageous!"

   Li Zhi sneered and said, "You go and deal with it."

  …

  Liu Baolin came back from a walk, but those concubines stopped her.

   "Liu Baolin can't see his son, do you feel extremely tormented?"

   "Back then you were a pet, so you were so proud, how is it today? Hahahaha!"

  These women have been working in the harem for a long time, and they are weird and extreme.

  Liu Baolin just walked forward calmly.

   "Wei Zhi is here."

  Wei Zhi This is a routine inspection.

  He glanced at Liu Baolin, and said flatly: "No trouble."

   It is said that you have to do things when you receive money, but Wei Zhi is a trustworthy person.

  The concubines covered their mouths and laughed.

   "Wang Zhongguan is here."

  Wang Zhongliang came in a hurry with more than ten servants.

  He is a person close to the emperor, and no one dares to neglect him. Wei Zhi took the lead in saluting, and said with a smile: "Why is Wang Zhongguan here? Just give orders if you have something to do, and we promise to do it properly."

   Several concubines also praised Wang Zhongliang.

  Wang Zhongliang had a cold face, his eyes swept over the crowd, he stayed at Liu Baolin for a moment, and then waved without any warning.

Snapped!

  Wei Zhi covered his face in bewilderment, "Wang Zhongguan, why is this?"

  Wang Zhongliang sternly shouted: "You cheap dog slave, you are so courageous. Come!"

"exist!"

  More than a dozen servants agreed, full of murderous intent.

  Wang Zhongliang pointed at Wei Zhi, "Take it!"

Good night!
