Wang Ze also noticed the gazes of Qibi Heli and Xue Wanjun.
But he doesn't really care about a foreign general or a surrendered general. Even if he is angry, what can he do to him?
However, he also knew that this move offended not only these two people, but also other military generals who must have criticized him, but there was nothing he could do now.
After Lin Xuan came back, he must have known that someone wanted to steal his technology.
Although this incident seemed to have nothing to do with them, he knew that it was them who did it.
Lin Xuan is not stupid, he can definitely guess it.
Lin Xuan produced paper during the last impeachment of Lin Xuan. Although it has not had much impact on the Wang family now, he already knows that Lin Xuan's paper mill has accumulated a large amount of paper.
Once those papers are released, it will have a huge impact on the Wang family's paper.
The paper issue was enough to give him a headache. If Lin Xuan was trying to get something to take revenge on the Wang family at this time, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, he had no choice but to strike first.
At the same time, he also scolded Hou Junji in his heart.
Several of them sent more than two hundred dead men to Gaochang secretly, preparing to assassinate Lin Xuan.
Who knew that idiot Hou Junji not only refused to let Lin Xuan attack the city, but also refused to let him enter the city in order to prevent Lin Xuan from making meritorious deeds.
Lin Xuan has been staying in the military camp in the wild. Those dead soldiers can't go to the military camp and kill him.
If it weren't for the Cui family's strong persuasion, he would have been impeached along with Hou Junji when the army came back.
Now that Hou Junji's corruption case has been confirmed, he naturally doesn't worry about offending the Cui family.
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Do you have anything to say?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and said: "The pure will be pure and the turbid will be turbid. I am willing to accept the investigation!"
Li Shimin nodded and said: "In that case, let's investigate all the generals who are going to the expedition."
This time he was determined and wanted to give the generals in the army a shock.
It's not appropriate for him to bring up this matter. Now that the noble family has jumped out, he can just go with the flow.
I even investigated my future son-in-law, shouldn’t others investigate?
If you want to hate, then go and hate the Wang family.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Wang Ze was overjoyed.
He originally thought it would cost a lot of money and prepared some other plans, but he didn't expect them to be used.
Now that Lin Xuan can't protect himself, he shouldn't have time to trouble them.
Maybe he still had a chance to discuss paper cooperation with Lin Xuan. Thinking of this, Wang Ze gave Lin Xuan a proud look.
When he saw that Lin Xuan was unfazed, the smile on Wang Ze's face froze.
"Your Majesty, since we are investigating, we should do the same as Duke Lu and let the Marquis of Jingyang County stay in the Dali Temple prison for a few days," Wang Ze said.
For some reason, when he saw Lin Xuan's calm expression, he felt very unhappy.
"inappropriate!"
However, as soon as Wang Ze finished speaking and before Li Shimin could speak, Wei Zheng stepped forward to stop him.
"Your Majesty, the generals on the expedition can be investigated, but they cannot all be imprisoned." Wei Zheng said with his hand in hand.
If all the generals were imprisoned, what would the soldiers think?
Will you check them later?
In this way, everyone is in danger, and the generals in the army will also have complaints.
"It's just an investigation now, there's no need to mention the matter of imprisonment." Of course Li Shimin knew this, and there was no way he would agree.
Everyone has selfish motives. He never thought that someone would serve the country wholeheartedly, as long as they were loyal to him.
This statement is somewhat contradictory. People have selfish motives, so how can they still be loyal ministers?
For example, everyone will understand. Everyone knows the famous corrupt official He Shen in history.
What Heshen did was not an airtight wall, and Qianlong could not have known it. Why didn't Qianlong kill Heshen? To the imperial court, Heshen was indeed a corrupt official, but to Qianlong, Heshen was a rare loyal minister.
.
Everyone knows that the "crime silver" was Heshen's idea, and officials who committed crimes could be exempted from crime by paying money. Qianlong lived a luxurious life and had a lot of expenses. If he didn't have enough money, he had to find ways to get money, so this "criminal silver" came into being.
Sin Silver".
There was not enough money to spend, and taxes could not be increased. Qianlong thought about the many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty. These officials would more or less make some money, and there were not many clean ones. It would be better to let these guilty people show some filial piety.
When the monarch and his ministers combined, the money went into their own pockets, and He Shen took the blame. This is why Qianlong turned a blind eye to He Shen.
Is Yue Fei a loyal minister?
No one will hesitate on this point, and they all recognize Yue Fei as a loyal minister.
Song Gaozong also knew Yue Fei's ability, but Yue Fei shouted all day long, "Recover the homeland and welcome back the Two Saints."
But the two saints came back, what should Song Gaozong do?
Therefore, in the eyes of Song Gaozong, Yue Fei was not a loyal minister.
Later generations viewed the definition of loyal ministers and traitorous ministers from the national level.
But the emperor didn't see it that way. In the emperor's opinion, those who conformed to his wishes were loyal ministers, and others were treacherous ministers.
Li Shimin didn't care if the generals were greedy when fighting.
But after the army returned, no one reported to him, which meant that the selfishness of these people had exceeded their loyalty to him.
He couldn't allow this, so he didn't mind checking it and knocking it.
Wang Ze also knew that his suggestion was a bit excessive. Seeing what Li Shimin said, he said nothing more.
"Retreat!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
After Li Shimin left, Wang Ze looked at Lin Xuan proudly and left the hall.
Lin Xuan shook his head, hoping that you can still laugh after a while.
"Zichu, there is nothing your Majesty can do after a thorough investigation. Don't think too much about it." Qin Qiong patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder and said.
In Qin Qiong's eyes, Lin Xuan is not only a junior, but also his benefactor.
Since taking Wuji Baifeng Pills, his health has gradually improved.
Some time ago, Sun Simiao showed it to her and told her that although he still could not go to the battlefield, as long as there were no other accidents, there would be no problem in dying.
Qin Qiong was not afraid of death, but he was worried about Qin Huaidao.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Uncle Qin, don't worry, I'm not worried about this."
Qin Qiong nodded. Qin Huaidao told Lin Xuan when he came back that he was not afraid of investigation into what he did in Gaochang.
After Qin Qiong left, Lin Xuan was about to leave when he saw an acquaintance and greeted him with a smile.
"Master Li made it easy for me to find him." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Li Chunfeng said with some confusion: "What does the Marquis want from me?"
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "I have something to ask Mr. Li for help. How about we talk while we walk?"
"Master Marquis, please!" Li Chunfeng nodded.
After Lin Xuan and Li Chunfeng walked out of the hall, they saw no one around and said, "I wonder if Mr. Li can make elixirs?"
Li Chunfeng said in surprise: "Master Hou also believes this?"
Taoists study alchemy just for the purpose of pursuing immortality. He does not believe in this.
But Lin Xuan's arithmetic ability impressed him, and he was worried that Lin Xuan was obsessed with immortality.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said: "Master Li has misunderstood. I don't want to ask for immortality, but I need something refined."
Li Chunfeng said with some confusion: "What?"
"I need some lead." Lin Xuan said.
Many people think that medicinal herbs are used to make alchemy. In fact, Taoist alchemy uses some metals.
Things like gold, silver, copper, lead, etc.
Lin Xuan was going to develop type printing, so he needed a lot of lead.
He asked Lin Ping to buy it, but with little effect. After some inquiry, he found out that most of the lead was in the hands of Taoist priests, so he came to find Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng didn't ask any more questions and said, "How much do you need?"
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said, "Let's get a few hundred pounds first."
Li Chunfeng was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and said angrily: "Master Hou, please hire someone else, I can't get it."
In ancient times, lead was not of much use except for Taoist priests in making elixirs, so it was collected in relatively small quantities.
Generally, a Taoist priest who likes to make alchemy would be good if he has a few kilograms. Let him get a few hundred kilograms somewhere.
Lin Xuan quickly said: "Master Li, this thing is of great use to me. Please find a way to help me get more. Please."
Li Chunfeng thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to help you, but you have to agree to my request."
"Master Li, just say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." Lin Xuan said.
Li Chunfeng said: "I have a few arithmetic problems. As long as you can help me solve them, I will help you."
