"this......"

Xiao Yu couldn't answer and lowered his head in shame: "I don't know this."

As soon as he found out who the murderer was, he came to report it, and he had no time to investigate the motive for the murder.

At this time, Feng Deyi, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, I know why Dugu Xiude wanted to kill Wang Shichong."

Li Yuan and Xiao Yu looked over together.

Feng Deyi continued: "When the ministers were still under Wang Shichong's hands, Dugu Xiude's father Dugu Ji and Wei Jin and others took advantage of Wang Shichong's war outside to plan to eradicate Wang Shichong's power and support the Sui Dynasty.

"However, Dugu Ji and Wei Jin failed, and were beheaded by Wang Shichong and exposed the people to the public.

"I was determined to surrender to Tang at that time, so I took advantage of the chaos to escape from Luoyang. But the war broke out, and I fell into Dou Jiande's hands."

Speaking of this, Feng Deyi's expression changed from regret to gratitude: "Fortunately, God has loved me and gave me another chance to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yuan was very moved when he heard his words.

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and covered the mockery.

If he really wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, even if he was in Xia Kingdom, he could escape and defect to the Tang Dynasty.

For example, Li Shiji...

After reading the confession, Li Yuan ordered: "Since he died of revenge, he would tell the world that he would arrest Dugu Xiude and be arrested."

As soon as the arrest documents were released and the publicity of the news came out, the people of Chang'an learned the truth immediately.

People who know the truth can't help but sympathize with Dugu Xiude, and at the same time scold Wang Shichong for "deserving death."

Not long after, news came again that Wang Shichong's wife, children, brothers, and nephews all died on the way to exile.

It is rumored that Dugu was unable to calm down in his moral cultivation. In order to avenge his deep revenge on the sea of ​​blood, he destroyed the Wang clan.

Therefore, Li Yuan stepped up his efforts to arrest Dugu Xiude.

Soon, Dugu Xiude was captured in Chang'an.

Li Yuan scolded Dugu Xiude severely and then dismissed him from his official position.

However, not long after, Dugu Xiude was restored to his post.

......

Dou Jiande was dead and Wang Shichong was dead. There were only a few small rebellious forces left in the Central Plains. Li Yuan did not take them seriously and began to focus on rectifying the country.

Chang'an appears to be peaceful, but in secret, waves are surging.

On this day, Concubine Zhang accompanied Li Yuan for a walk in the garden.

"Your Majesty, my father has been in a state of discomfort recently, and the doctor said he needs to be calm and recuperate.

"I know there is a village with pleasant scenery and the most suitable for recuperation, but that village is currently under the royal name..."

Speaking of this, Concubine Zhang stopped and blinked her pair of Jian Shuiqiu's eyes and looked at Li Yuan.

Under her affectionate gaze, Li Yuan felt softened into a pool of water and immediately said, "It's just a mere village. My beloved concubine likes it, just take it."

Zhang Jieyu was happy and blinked again: "I hope my father's health can recover soon, but there is still some land around Zhuangzi. I'm afraid that Zhuang Han's labor will disturb his father's recovery..."

She wanted to speak but stopped.

How could Li Yuan not understand what she meant, but as an emperor, he naturally had to satisfy his own women.

So Li Yuan waved his hand and gave the fields to Concubine Zhang.

The next day, Concubine Zhang sent the edict given by Li Yuan to the Zhang Mansion.

Zhang's father immediately sent someone to collect the fields and Zhuangzi with a hand edict, but he was blocked by Zhuang Han.

"This fertile land has been given to the King of Huai'an, you can leave quickly."

The Zhang family said, "My master has an edict from His Majesty, and His Majesty has given this fertile land to my master."

"I am just a farmer. I don't understand any edicts. If you want to reason, go and find the King of Huai'an." Zhuang Han rushed them impatiently: "Let's go, don't block my work."

The servant of Zhang's mansion: "..."

So the servant went back to report to Zhang's father.

After hearing this, Zhang's father went to find Huai'an King Li Shentong theory.

When Li Shentong heard that this man was here to steal his fertile land, he immediately lowered his face: "Those fertile land were given to me by the King of Qin, and I have the sect of the King of Qin."

After saying that, Li Shentong ordered people to find the Qin King Sect and open it for Zhang's father to show it.

"Look, this is the King of Qin, which has the same effect as His Majesty's edict."

At that time, the Crown Prince's Order and the King of Qin could go hand in hand with the Emperor's Order. Some officials were at a loss for this and had no choice but to take the edicts received first.

Father Zhang stared at the Qin King Sect and was stunned.

"see a visitor out."

Li Shentong drove people unceremoniously.

The joke is that it is thousands of acres of fertile land, how could he give it up?

......

"Bang!"

Concubine Zhang threw out the cup in her hand and said angrily: "I can't get those treasures, can't I still get a few acres of fertile land?"

When Luoyang was just pacified, Li Yuan promised a few favored concubines to send someone to Luoyang to select palace maids and treasures.

So, Concubine Wan, Concubine Yin De, Concubine Zhang and other favored concubines sent people to Luoyang to select palace maids and treasures in the warehouse, and to hire officials for their relatives.

However, Li Shimin rejected their request on the grounds that the wealth book had been sealed and the official title was only given to those who had made meritorious titles.

After Concubine Wan found out, she smiled and left this matter behind her.

But Concubine Yin De and Concubine Zhang did not, so they held a grudge against Li Shimin.

"Li Shimin...I must make you look good."

Zhang Jieyu put away her fierce expression, "carefully" cleaned up, and ran to Li Yuan.

"His Majesty......"

As soon as he shouted, Concubine Zhang cried and fell into Li Yuan's arms: "Your Majesty, the King of Qin bullies people, yell..."

Hearing this, he saw his beloved concubine crying and raining. She felt very aggrieved, and Li Yuan's face turned green.

He pushed Zhang Jieyu away and stared at her tightly: "The King of Qin bullies you? How did he bully you?"

Seeing Li Yuan's dark face and suspicious eyes, Zhang Jieyu realized that Li Yuan had been thinking wrongly, and quickly stopped crying and explained: "It was the land given to my wife by His Majesty and he had taken away the Qin King."

Hearing this, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "What the hell is going on?"

So, Zhang Jieyu said it in great detail, "...The King of Huai'an said that it was the land given to him by the King of Qin. Even if my father had His Majesty's edict, it would be useless. He would not give up the land."

"It's outrageous."

Li Yuan said angrily: "Call the King of Qin here."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Concubine Zhang said a few words to Li Yuan and then surrendered.

Li Shimin came to Tai Chi Hall and just gave a salute, Li Yuan scolded him in surprise.

Finally, Li Yuan shouted at Li Shimin: "Now you have made great achievements. Are you not even as good as your Qin King's teachings?"

"Of course not." Li Shimin quickly knelt down and apologized: "Don't calm down."

Li Yuan was unable to calm down and fined Li Shimin another year's salary before letting him go.

Yue Yu witnessed the whole process next to him and dared not show off.

It was not until Li Yuan calmed down that he stepped forward: "Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal."

Li Yuan waved his hand lazily: "Please serve the meal."

That night, when Li Yuan was correcting the memorial, he saw Yue Yu walking past him with a stack of paper, and called him: "Wait, what are you holding in your hand?"

Yue Yu replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is busy reviewing memorials these days, and there is no time to read the news every day. The old slave just wants to put away these news reports first. When will Your Majesty read them, he will take them out, so as not to fall into ashes."

Li Yuan glanced at Shi Wenbao in his hand and said, "Take it over and show it to me."

I'm in a bad mood today, so I'd better look at something relaxing.

When I saw the second picture, Li Yuan found a timely news on it, which was about the reward of those who had made meritorious contributions after the King of Qin pacified Wang Shichong...

It is mentioned that Li Shentong obtained thousands of acres of fertile land for his military merits.

This time, I heard that the court is very generous in treating the meritorious officials and attracting more people to serve the court.

Li Yuan didn’t think there was something wrong with this article, but the date of this article was published.

This was the timely report five days ago.

He remembered that Concubine Zhang liked to read the news, so he ordered Yue Yu to send a copy of the news of the news of the day to Concubine Zhang every day.

In other words, Concubine Zhang had long known that the fertile fields had been given to Li Shentong by Li Shimin.

"well......"

Li Yuan sighed helplessly.

On the second day, Li Yuan found an excuse to reward Li Chengqian with many treasures, including a bow that Li Shimin had liked for a long time...
