Although there is no definite evidence, Li Shimin is very sure that the Wang family did it.
Although the Wang family suspected that the death of Wang Duo and his son was related to Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan could not move without evidence.
But Wang Duo and his son were direct descendants of the Wang family, and they were assassinated just like that. If the Wang family did nothing, the Wang family would lose face.
It doesn't matter whether the Fuso people did it or not.
The Wang family chose to wait for the Fusang people to board the ship before taking action, leaving some people alive, because they did not want the Fusang people to use the incident of the envoy's murder as an issue.
At this time, there was no claim for territorial waters. The Fusang people were already at sea after boarding the ship. If anything happened, it had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty.
It would be different if the Fusang people died in the Tang Dynasty.
In any case, if a country's envoy died in the Tang Dynasty, it was the Tang Dynasty that was embarrassed.
A country that cannot even protect envoys from other countries, so-called heavenly country, is not a joke.
The Wang family did this just to avoid touching Li Shimin's bottom line.
"Is there any news from Lin Xuan?" Li Shimin asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the latest news is that the Marquis of Jingyang County is about to arrive in Lingnan. The journey has been uneventful. According to time, it should have been a few days since we arrived in Lingnan." Li Mu said.
Lingnan and Chang'an are thousands of miles apart, so it is inconvenient to convey news. Although Lin Xuan has been in Lingnan for a few days, the specific news has not been sent back.
"It seems that the family is very afraid of Lin Xuan's trump card." Li Shimin murmured.
He gave Lin Xuan the power to mobilize troops because he was worried that the family would take action against Lin Xuan. Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan's departure was peaceful. Let alone taking action against Lin Xuan, he didn't even cause trouble for Lin Xuan.
Based on the aristocratic family's style of conduct, they did not take action against Lin Xuan at such a good opportunity. They were obviously afraid of Lin Xuan.
In other words, they were afraid of what Lin Xuan showed them before.
Therefore, Li Shimin became more and more curious about what Lin Xuan showed the family.
"If there is any news from Lingnan, tell me as soon as possible." Li Shimin said.
He didn't stop Lin Xuan from going to Lingnan because he was not completely attracted by the overseas wealth Lin Xuan said.
The most important thing is to see Feng Ang's reaction.
As soon as he ascended the throne, someone accused Feng Ang of wanting to rebel.
Seemingly under Wei Zheng's persuasion, Li Shimin did not send troops to attack.
And Feng Ang also came to Chang'an in person and left a hostage, acting like a wise king and a virtuous minister.
In fact, Feng An could not afford to rebel, and Li Shimin did not intend to take action against him.
He had just ascended the throne and the situation was unstable. I don't know how many people wanted to cause chaos in the world so as to take advantage of the chaos.
If he takes action against Lingnan, he will give those people a chance.
Another important factor is that there are many ethnic minorities in Lingnan. They are not convinced by the king and often have unrest. Only Feng An can suppress them.
Although Feng An's ability to occupy Lingnan was related to the chaos in the world, the most important thing was Feng An's identity.
Although Feng An's father and grandfather were just governors of one side, Feng An's grandmother had a very special status.
Feng An's grandmother was Xian Ying, a member of the Li tribe. She lived through the Liang, Chen, and Sui dynasties. She followed the historical trend and was dedicated to safeguarding national unity and promoting national unity. She was revered as the "Mother of Lingnan".
That's why Feng Ang was able to pacify Lingnan so quickly. During these years, there was no turmoil in Lingnan.
Once he sends troops to destroy the Feng family, no one can suppress the foreign tribes in Lingnan. From now on, Lingnan will fall into endless turmoil, and it will take a lot of energy from the court to suppress it.
Therefore, destroying the Feng family would not be of great benefit to the court.
But it is not a good thing for a country to have a country within a country.
Many people think that the founding emperor killed the heroes because the birds were gone and the good bows were hidden.
In fact, they killed the heroes because they were worried that their sons would not be able to suppress those people.
In history, Li Shimin did not kill any hero, and his evaluation was very high.
However, for Li Shimin, the heroes who founded the country were much older than him. For him, there was no need to kill them, he only needed to wait for those people to die of old age.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would die so early.
He agreed with Lin Xuan to go to Lingnan just because he wanted to see Feng Ang's attitude.
If Feng An had no different intentions, Li Shimin would not have to take action against Lingnan, he would just wait for Feng An to die of old age.
Li Shimin didn't take Feng Ang's sons seriously.
…
"Master Hou, you are back."
Lin Xuan went to Feng's house. Guo Caiyue was worried and kept guarding the door. Now seeing Lin Xuan come back, a bright smile appeared on her face.
Lin Xuan turned over and dismounted, scolding: "If you don't take good care of yourself, what are you doing out here?"
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Marquis. My injury is fine," Guo Caiyue said.
"Go in first."
Arriving at the hall, Lin Xuan sent the others away, leaving only Lin Xuan and Guo Caiyue.
"I will go to Guangzhou early tomorrow morning. You stay here to recuperate. When I come back in a few days, we will set off back to Chang'an." Lin Xuan said.
"Master Hou, my injury has healed. I want to go with Master Hou." Guo Caiyue said hurriedly.
"Be obedient and don't show off. If the wound collapses, I will leave you here and go back to Chang'an." Lin Xuan said with a straight face.
"Master Hou, my injury is almost healed. If Master Hou doesn't believe it, you can check it out." Guo Caiyue said anxiously.
examine?
Lin Xuan looked strange. The location where Guo Caiyue was hit by the arrow was a little above his left chest. Wouldn't he have to take off his clothes for an examination?
Is this a sacrifice?
Guo Caiyue also realized that her words were somewhat ambiguous and lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at Lin Xuan.
"Ahem~" Lin Xuan straightened his face and said, "I haven't bathed in the past few days."
"Master Hou, I will ask someone to prepare hot water right now." Guo Caiyue hurriedly ran out.
Lin Xuan shook his head. It seemed that Guo Caiyue's injury was almost healed.
Erythromycin ointment definitely does not have that good effect. The only explanation is that the erythromycin ointment rewarded by the system has been strengthened by the system.
He had always thought that he could recover so quickly because he had good physical fitness and often practiced Wu Qin Xi.
Now it seems that these are only one aspect, and the other aspect is the effect of erythromycin ointment.
"Master Hou, the water is ready." Guo Caiyue lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Xuan at all.
Along the way, she had served Lin Xuan to bathe many times, and she had gradually gotten used to it, but this time was different. Lin Xuan said that after getting married, he would take her as his concubine.
Although she is not Lin Xuan's concubine yet, she already considers herself to be one.
Lin Xuan didn't know what Guo Caiyue was thinking, so he walked to the side room.
"What are you doing standing still?" Lin Xuan urged after walking a few steps and seeing Guo Caiyue not following.
"Come...come." Guo Caiyue quickly followed.
When he came to the room, Lin Xuan opened his hand and asked Guo Caiyue to help him change clothes.
Guo Caiyue's face turned red with embarrassment and she didn't even dare to look at Lin Xuan.
However, she helped Lin Xuan bathe many times along the way, and now she was considered to be considerate of others. Not long after, Lin Xuan was naked.
Lin Xuan walked into the bathtub and sat down. He sat down and sighed: "Comfortable."
Guo Caiyue stretched her hands to her waist and her face turned even redder. Soon, she was left with only the clothes she wore, revealing her snow-like skin.
I don't know whether it was because she was cold or shy, but Guo Caiyue's skin had a faint red glow, which was very attractive.
Guo Caiyue lowered her head shyly, came behind Lin Xuan, and started cleaning Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan turned his head and looked at Guo Caiyue unscrupulously.
