Zhang San went to see the construction progress of the industrial park the next day, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. Zhang Ergou said that it was expected to be completed in about seven days.
The school in the village was basically completed at the same time. Zhang San came out for a walk and felt proud when he saw the ancient version of the industrial park he had built. These would be proof that he had been in this era.
"Sir, there was word from the palace just now that you should come into the palace to meet the saint." Sister-in-law Li went to Zhang San and said.
"Mian Sheng? Who sent the order?" Zhang San asked doubtfully.
"Why did Li Shimin think of looking for me again? Did something happen?" Zhang San was confused in his heart.
"Sire, I don't know him either. That person is waiting at home." Sister-in-law Li replied.
"Okay, let's go back now." Zhang San replied.
When Zhang San returned home, he saw an eunuch sitting in the living room waiting. When Zhang San came back, he quickly stood up and saluted: "We have seen a man from Zhang County."
"Eunuch Sun, you are so polite. He was not at home just now and the reception was not good enough." Zhang San said enthusiastically when he saw that the visitor was Sun Xi, the eunuch who read out the edict for his knighthood last time.
"Mr. Zhang County, you are so polite. Our family has been ordered to announce that you have entered the palace. Can we set off now?" Sun Xi replied with a smile.
"Okay, let's go."
Zhang San asked Zhang Fu to drive to the palace with Sun Xi.
During this period, Zhang San wanted to find out why Li Shimin asked him to see him, but Sun Xi didn't know either. He was just responsible for inviting Zhang San into the palace.
Zhang San followed Sun Xi to the Zichen Hall. After the communication, Zhang San walked into the hall and saw Li Shimin sitting in the first place, with Xu Huang standing next to Li Shimin.
"Wei Chen has met the emperor." Zhang San saluted.
"Get up, I called you here today just to have a chat with you." Li Shimin closed the memorial and looked at Zhang San and said.
"There is a secret letter here, take it and read it." After Li Shimin finished speaking, Xu Huang picked up the letter on the desk and came to Zhang San.
Zhang San took the letter from Xu Huang and was a little confused. He didn't know what Li Shimin meant by this move.
However, when Zhang San read the contents recorded in the letter, he felt a chill in his heart. So many things had happened behind Sanwei Bookstore recently.
I saw it said that a total of 27 people who wanted to set fire and 15 people who wanted to steal were arrested around Sanwei Bookstore. Thirteen people were killed around the male residence in Zhang County. The interrogation found that these people were all named Su Wen.
Under the instigation of others, seventeen members of Su Wen's family also died yesterday.
When Zhang San saw the last sentence, more than a dozen members of his family died unexpectedly, a chill ran down his spine.
Not only did these people openly attack Sanwei Bookstore, but they also took many actions secretly.
"How do you feel after watching it?" Li Shimin looked at Zhang San with interest.
"Are these people crazy? Isn't it just a business competition? It has to be like this?" Zhang San said angrily.
Fortunately, I had the wisdom to recruit Li Shimin to join the team, otherwise my body would probably be cold by now.
"You have touched someone's foundation, why don't they allow them to retaliate?" Li Shimin joked.
"Your Majesty, can I withdraw? My little arms and legs are powerless to resist!" Zhang San was really scared. These people were too barbaric, and his original thinking was too simple.
"Haha, do you think you can quit now?" Li Shimin looked at Zhang San quietly, and asked coldly when he saw Zhang San's frightened look.
"I...the emperor called Wei Chen here today. I must have something else to explain, right?"
Zhang San wanted to open his mouth to defend, but suddenly thought of Li Shimin's dissatisfaction with him for being afraid of going against the aristocratic family at the Wei River.
Now that he is tied to this chariot, he really has no way out. Once Li Shimin is disappointed with him, it means that he is not far from death.
Li Shimin did not answer, but instead asked: "Are you also confused about your title?"
"Indeed, although a small horseshoe is important, it is not enough for a knighthood." Zhang San forced himself to calm down and replied.
"Then why do you think I rewarded you like this in the first place?" Li Shimin changed into a comfortable position and sat down.
"I don't dare to guess, but I guess it's because of Duke Lu, right?" Zhang San answered cautiously.
"What else?" Li Shimin was very satisfied that Zhang San could think of this relationship.
"I saved Cheng Chumo's life. Duke Lu values love and righteousness and must repay kindness. With this relationship, the minister has a backer. When dealing with certain people, it is not easy for him to die prematurely.
"
Now that the words have come to this, Zhang San is also ready to express his conjecture, otherwise he will always have a grudge in his heart about this matter.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Li Shimin is becoming more and more interested in Zhang San. Linglong has a thoughtful mind, and if he is well cultivated, he will be a good talent.
"A small soldier can only be valuable if he crosses the river. Small soldiers who have not crossed the river will either die young or become a stepping stone for the cannon. Not only are they worthless, but they may also be used by the opponent to rebel against the general's army." Zhang San put it another way.
, likening himself to a soldier who has crossed the Chu River and Han boundaries.
"What you said is wonderful, then what do you know what to do next?" Li Shimin asked.
"When a soldier crosses the river, there is no way back. He can only rush forward and kill. If he takes a step back, he will die." Zhang San knew that he was in a deep quagmire. He could only show his loyalty at this time, otherwise, Li Shimin would be the first to kill.
Maybe it's me.
"Remember what you said, go ahead and kill, retreat or die!" Li Shimin burst out laughing after saying this.
"I heard that you have now forced the other bookstores in Chang'an City to be powerless to resist?"
"I just came up with a strategy. Without you, the emperor, to escort me, Sanwei Bookstore would have ceased to exist long ago." Zhang San replied.
"I also heard that you are training the escort team now? Are you scared?" Li Shimin asked, changing the topic.
"Yes, Weichen himself is not afraid, but I am afraid that my family will be hurt because of me, so since something happened to my little sister last time, Weichen had this idea."
Zhang San knew that Li Shimin was secretly spying on him. He was aware of the last time something happened to his little sister, but he never found any clues.
"I didn't punish Zheng Shide, do you have any resentment in your heart?" Li Shimin asked.
"No, but I will not stop here. I will definitely seek justice for my little sister and let that person receive the punishment he deserves." Zhang San answered truthfully.
"Yes, just go ahead and do it. I will help you block the enemies in the dark, but you have to rely on yourself to face the enemies on the surface." Li Shimin was very satisfied with Zhang San's answer. In order to let Zhang San do things
No longer timid, Li Shimin was ready to give him a reassurance.
"I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for his grace. I will die of exhaustion." Zhang San quickly saluted and thanked him.
As long as no one plays dirty tricks on him, Zhang San is still confident that he can defeat his enemies one by one.
In today's conversation, although neither of them clearly stated who their enemies were, they both knew very well that this time Li Shimin really paid attention to Zhang San, a little soldier crossing the river.
Since the emergence of Sanwei Bookstore, papermaking and movable type printing, especially Li Shimin's appearance in Sanwei Bookstore, the family headed by the Zheng family finally felt the crisis, so they took frequent action.
Li Shimin also saw an opportunity to eliminate the power of the family, so he protected Zhang San even more. The main reason for letting Zhang San enter the palace this time was to remind Zhang San and let him understand his situation so that he could work harder to help him.
