What is surprising is that King Qin seems to have no backup plan.
After Liu Wenjing paid back the money, Li Shimin immediately released her, which was very happy.
Because Liu Wenqi was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Li Zhiyun also saw Liu Wenjing come to pick up Liu Wenqi in person.
move!
Tears!
Liu Wenqi was tortured really badly. There was no intact part of his body, and he couldn't even speak.
When he saw his brother, Liu Wenqi cried bitterly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Wenjing patted her younger brother, and then looked at King Qin Li Shimin with bitter eyes, "Your Highness, King Qin, I have resigned."
"No." Li Shimin smiled slightly, and even kindly reminded: "Mr. Liu, I know some very skilled medical doctors. Do you want me to send someone to ask them to treat Liu Wenqi?"
Do you still need to be heartbroken to kill someone?
Li Zhiyun narrowed his eyes slightly; the second brother was a bit abnormal, as if he was deliberately irritating Liu Wenjing.
Could it be that the second brother planned to make Liu Wenjing lose her mind and expose her flaws?
But this is too naive.
"Don't bother the King of Qin!" Liu Wenjing squeezed out a few words through her teeth.
Li Shimin nodded, and then said seriously: "Xiang Liu, I am an outsider and should not interfere in Xiang Liu's family affairs. But you have to take good care of Liu Wenqi. Can you pay off such a greedy gamble in the future?"
For the sake of Prime Minister Liu, we should persuade Liu Wenqi to return to the right path as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Liu Wenjing cupped her hands and responded solemnly, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Qin, for your advice."
"No need to say thank you." Li Shimin waved his hand with a smile, "Xiang Liu is the minister of the Tang Dynasty, I should pay more attention to him."
"Haha." No matter how well-mannered Liu Wenjing was, she couldn't help but sneer.
He remembered this grudge!
Isn't it just that I owe money, and I didn't say I wouldn't pay it, so I beat my brother like this. Even if I say it's not revenge, he doesn't believe me even if I beat the thief Li Shimin to death.
In fact, Li Zhiyun was not willing to believe that King Qin was just talking about matters. There was a high probability that this second brother had other plans.
Liu Wenqi's incident was like a small wave, passing quietly without causing any trouble.
June.
Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, ordered people to send back the good news, saying that Li Jing had led the warships and soldiers down the river, attacked the city and destroyed the tens of thousands of Xiao Mian's bandits.
Lao Li was overjoyed when he heard about it and told the people of Chang'an. At the same time, he sent people to Li Xiaogong to commend the soldiers of the three armies of the Southern Expedition.
That night, Li Zhiyun lay on the couch and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
After quietly glancing at the sleeping Wei Gui next to him, Li Zhiyun slowly got down, put on his coat, walked to the desk and sat down.
Blow out the fire sticks and light the candles.
Taking out the newspaper, Li Zhiyun looked through the battle reports of the attack on Xiao Mian.
Although the protagonist in the good news is Li Xiaogong, Li Zhiyun has replaced this name with Li Jing.
He knew very well that Li Xiaogong did not have such a sharp offensive rhythm.
When the Yangtze River rose, Li Jing ordered twelve troops on land and water to sail out of Yiling by boat and defeat Xiao Xian's Jingmen and Yidu towns within three days.
Later, General Xiao Mian guarded Qingjiang, Li Xiaogong, and Li Xiaogong underestimated the enemy and was defeated by Shi Hong's army.
In order to restore the decline, Li Xiaogong adopted Li Jing's strategy.
Avoid their military fronts and dampen their vigor.
Li Jing left supplies on the south bank for Xiao Mian's army to loot, and then caught the scholar by surprise and captured the scholar Hong in a battle.
The battle report said it was very simple, but Li Zhiyun had fought in a battle and naturally knew what it meant.
Apart from anything else, after Li Xiaogong's defeat, Li Jing immediately changed his strategy and took the opportunity to pretend to retreat and abandon the baggage. This decision can be called a classic example of staying calm in the face of danger.
Among them, it is necessary not only to stabilize morale, but also to have absolute confidence in defeating Wen Shihong in a battle.
"Li Jing, Li Jing, you are really amazing." Li Zhiyun marveled secretly.
After only three battles, the Tang army was about to besiege Jiangling.
Stable yet fierce, he can be called a hexagonal warrior.
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun suddenly grinned.
"Now, Daoxuan and Daozong should be arriving in Jiangling soon. I hope they don't forget about business."
Li Zhiyun longs for a famous coach like Li Jing in his heart. Unfortunately, such a person will not support him.
However, what reassured him was that Li Jing would not support the prince and the King of Qin either.
Although history has changed beyond recognition, Li Jing's style of life has not changed.
It can be seen from the good news that Li Jing does not want to be in the limelight.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Li Zhiyun glanced at the bed and saw that Wei Gui was not awake, so he quietly opened the door.
Outside the door, the maid serving Wei Gui saw that it was the King of Chu and quickly saluted.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, someone from the palace wants your Highness to see the saint immediately."
At this time?
Looking at the dark sky outside, Li Zhiyun was quite speechless. Is there something wrong with Lao Li? Why did he ask him to do something if he didn't sleep with his little wife in his arms at night?
"Can you tell me what it is?"
"No, the chamberlain asked His Highness to leave as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand."
Although he couldn't figure out where Lao Li had the seizure, he immediately went to the palace.
Wude Hall.
Li Zhiyun walked in and saw such a scene.
King Qin stood with a sad face, King Qi looked sleepily at the cracks in the floor, and the prince's face was full of excitement and anger.
Also excited was Pei Ji who was standing.
There were two people kneeling underneath, Liu Wenjing and Liu Wenqi.
What's going on?
Li Zhiyun stepped forward and bowed, "My son, I pay homage to my father and wish him well."
"My greetings, your Majesty is exempt from the courtesy." Li Yuan's tone was cold.
grass?
What do you mean, this attitude today is directed at me?
Soon, he knew it wasn't.
Because Liu Wenqi was beaten by the King of Qin, he felt resentful and stabbed a villain at home. Then he was reported by his unpopular concubine.
After Li Shimin found out, he immediately told Emperor Li Yuan.
This kind of thing is an absolute taboo in all dynasties. Whoever touches it will die. For example, the "witchcraft disaster" during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, such as the former Sui and Shu king Yang Xiu.
So, Li Yuan asked Pei Ji and Li Shimin to take people to search Liu Wenqi's residence at the same time, and they really found Zha Xiaoren.
After learning what happened, Li Zhiyun's mind really shut down for a while.
Because he remembered that in history, Liu Wenjing and his younger brother Ma Yi drank too much, and then Old Liu drew a knife and chopped a pillar, saying that one day he would kill Pei Ji with one knife. Then Liu Wenjing was reported by his concubine, and she died tragically.
Why did she become Liu Wenqi’s concubine now?
Is the concubine of these two brothers the same person?
After thinking about it, he felt that it was normal. Because of his appearance, Liu Wenjing had lived for a few more years. It was understandable that things had changed.
However, Liu Wenqi stabbed the villain of King Qin, which seems abnormal no matter how you look at it. Although it is true that King Qin beat Liu Wenqi severely, would Liu Wenqi be such a fool and use unnatural weapons to deal with King Qin?
And that Liu Wenqi's concubine, where did she get the courage to report on her master?
The concubine is a slave, and it is a grave sin to sue the master as a slave.
There's something fishy.
Seeing that Li Zhiyun had been looking at the 'bronze puppet' on the ground after hearing the whole story, Li Yuan asked: "King Chu, what are you thinking about?"
I think their craftsmanship is really rubbish and they made the puppets so ugly. They don't look like King Qin at all, so how can this work?
Li Zhiyun sighed: "I am thinking that this matter is so vicious that I still have chills down my spine."
Speaking of this, Li Yuan's eyebrows became even more gloomy.
Indeed, this kind of thing also made him, the emperor, feel chilled all over.
