Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling blushed. They didn't know what their son was, but they were not worried about Yang Fan.
Li Ke, who was standing aside, was extremely surprised. Although Li Shimin scolded him fiercely, he didn't look angry at all.
If Li Shimin really had a problem with a certain person, he would not be angry or angry at all, let alone curse.
At this moment, he cursed loudly, but revealed his closeness. Li Ke secretly decided to pay a personal visit to this Wannian county uncle.
At this time, I heard Cheng Yaojin say: "Your Majesty, the cause of the matter has not yet been found out, how can we put all the blame on Wannian County County? In my opinion, the envoy of Fusang Kingdom is short in stature and wretched in appearance. He must be that kind of person."
Sneaky people."
Li Shimin glared at Cheng Yaojin. Although he thought the envoy from Fusang Kingdom looked a little wretched, he couldn't judge a book by his appearance!
Ahem... Mainly because these Fusang envoys came here to admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
Seeing that Fang Xuanling also wanted to talk, Li Shimin thought to himself, my son is still here, can't you two stubborn people give me a little face and give me a sense of accomplishment?
Without waiting for Fang Xuanling to speak, he spoke decisively: "How could you not know that that boy will cause trouble as soon as he makes a meritorious deed?"
If Yang Fan knew that he had become Li Shimin's stinking scapegoat, would he immediately rush into the palace and attack him? After all, he only acted for the future of the Han people, and he was really more unjust than Dou E.
Baiqi's work efficiency is indeed very high. In a short time, he can figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
When he heard that the envoys from the Fusang Kingdom were the ones who caused the incident, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown and secretly scolded these envoys for not living up to their expectations. Just now, he tried to "speak" for them, but now he was slapped in the face.
I saw Cheng Yaojin muttering: "I know these Fusang people are not good people." Li Shimin was immediately embarrassed and couldn't help but secretly scold Cheng Yaojin, you are a fool. I don't want to lose face if you say this now.
What?
Seeing that Li Shimin's expression was a bit bad, the old monk Li Keru sat down silently, lowering his head and counting the ants on the ground. Of course, if there were also ants in the Tai Chi Hall.
In this situation, you can only think of yourself as a deaf-mute and try to interrupt because you are smart? Wouldn’t that make you uncomfortable?
When the atmosphere was somewhat silent, Li Shimin looked solemn and shouted:
"Where is Li Junxian?"
A burly man wearing five-color clothes and sheepskin boots strode into the hall and replied with clasped fists: "Your Majesty, Li Junxian is here."
The momentum of a generation of emperors was undoubtedly revealed. Li Shimin said with great enthusiasm: "Xuan Zhenkouyu, Deputy Envoy Fusang harassed the people of the Tang Dynasty. He was beaten and maimed for his own fault. He was expelled from the Tang Dynasty after twenty canes. Others
Envoy Fusang will discuss the arrangements tomorrow morning."
After a pause, he continued: "The King of Wei, Li Tai, does not understand people well and does not distinguish between right and wrong. He is specially banned for seven days. During this period, he is asked to study the Book of Rites to cultivate himself..."
"Here!"
Li Junxian stepped back in response, but Li Ke on the side was shocked. Who was this Yang Fan? He could actually make his father go to war and issue an order to punish the Fusang envoy and Wei Wang Li Tai.
From childhood to adulthood, it can be said that Li Tai has been loved by thousands of people, but he has never been so "wronged".
He secretly glanced at Li Shimin in surprise and secretly wondered, could this Yang Fan be an illegitimate child?
Li Shimin's actions made his imagination drift away, and Li Junxian was still in his dream until he left.
In fact, in addition to his love of beauty, Li Shimin also has a strong sense of vanity, but judging from his various behaviors, he is really a complete nationalist.
For example, the aristocratic students from the vassal state who came to Chang'an to study were regarded as extremely noble in the vassal state, but when they came to Chang'an they could only be regarded as second-class citizens. This shows the status of foreigners in Li Shimin's heart. As long as he understood
If you understand his mentality, you won't be surprised by what he just did.
Secondly, because of the cherry blossoms cultivated by the Fuso Kingdom, Changsun Wujia was allergic to pollen and almost couldn't be saved. In the past, he didn't pursue it because of his face. This time, Li Tai deliberately defended the Fuso envoy and touched his tiger's beard. Furthermore, Yang Fan had just dedicated it to him.
A large sum of money, of course, must express one's position.
Before everyone could come to their senses, Li Shimin waved his hand, and several people walked out of the palace with cheers, while Li Ke could only follow behind like a wooden man.
****
Chang'an County Government.
When Li Junxian read out the speech, everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, a fight actually attracted the emperor's attention, and the farce ended in a dramatic way.
On the other hand, Cheng Chumo and others looked indifferent. Anyway, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, and they were already familiar with the road.
Yang Fan, on the other hand, was a little surprised. Baiqi's information was too fast. It was indeed the top spy organization in this era. He secretly considered whether he should get one too. After all, it felt bad to be a blind man.
But how did he know that without Li Ke's tip-off, the speed of information circulation in ancient times would not have been so fast.
Seeing Deputy Ambassador Fusang being dragged out dying, of course everyone did not want to continue shopping leisurely, so everyone went back to their homes to find their mothers.
But Cheng Yuzhu, who finally came out to play, was unhappy. She secretly hated these Fusang envoys for causing trouble, and reluctantly returned home after Yang Fan agreed to many unequal treaties.
However, he didn't notice that Wu Meiniang's eyes next to her were somewhat resentful. She glanced at Yang Fan with her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but wonder to herself, does my husband like to be childish?
After all, she was a girl with a curvy front and back who wandered around in front of her every day without making a move, and now she was doing this to a little girl who hadn't even had haircuts yet, which inevitably made her think too much.
If he knew what Wu Meiniang was thinking, I wonder if Yang Fan would immediately kill him. He has a strong body and a soul that has gone through many trials and tribulations. If Wu Meiniang hadn't been so young, he would have turned into a beast long ago.
There was no nightlife in the Tang Dynasty, and it was hard to sleep alone every night. Which man wanted to be like a beast?
****
Returning to the house without much interest, Yang Laifu came with a small sandalwood box and reported that the tea had been made, which made Yang Fan feel relieved a lot.
Let the little girl Xing'er get the boiling water, while she bumps her butt and takes out a tea set.
Take out the tea leaves from the sandalwood box and put it in the palm of your hand. The slightly curled tea leaves are like emerald green crescents. Even if they have not been brewed, they still have a slight fragrance. They are no different from modern fried tea leaves. This is Longjing tea!
Speaking of this tea, there was a joke. Yang Fan originally asked people to look for Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain, but after arriving there, he searched for half a month and couldn't find a single hair. After checking, he found out that
The Dahongpao tree is not growing yet.
So he rushed to Hangzhou without stopping, and then he saw Longjing tea in front of him.
Just when he was about to enjoy it, servants from the mansion came to report that Lao Li and Duke Lu had arrived outside the mansion.
I put down the tea set in my hand angrily, thinking, this old Li really regards this place as his home, and always comes to enjoy the autumn breeze every now and then.
Although I felt a little complaining in my heart, I was an emperor after all, and I still had to give him face.
As soon as he stood up and wanted to go out to greet him, he saw Lao Li walking in first, followed by several people.
Seeing this formation, Yang Fan couldn't help but be stunned, thinking, is this Lao Li going to show off his cards? Before he could speak, Lao Li sat down on the couch and asked: "You kid, give me this every day."
If you create trouble, you can't rest for a while. Beating an envoy is a serious crime. If we hadn't begged His Majesty for a long time, you would have been locked up in the sky prison now."
Seeing Li Shimin's nonsense, Cheng Yaojin and others could only curse in secret for being shameless, and pretended not to see or hear.
Yang Fan rolled his eyes and was speechless. Who doesn't know that you are the emperor? What are you pretending to be?
It's not up to you to decide how to deal with it. You just want to benefit. I just got Longjing tea today, so that you, a native, can see how to drink tea.
Thinking of this, he sat shoulder to shoulder and patted Li Shimin's shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Li, don't always get angry when you are old, because being angry will harm your body..."
"How can you be so rude..."
Seeing Yang Fan's behavior, Li Ke was shocked and quickly scolded him. While speaking, he glanced at the old eunuch and the others with his peripheral vision.
At this time, these people looked like it had nothing to do with them, staring at the ceiling, as if there was some picturesque scenery there, and they were obviously used to it.
For a moment, he was at a loss, with his mouth wide open as he didn't know what to do.
On the contrary, Yang Fan was attracted by the voice, and looked at the handsome King Wu in front of him, but his mouth was open a little stupidly. While he was a little jealous of that handsome face, he was inevitably a little curious, which instantly aroused his interest.
Anyone who is familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty knows that His Highness King Wu is called the most unjust prince in the world by historians, and is also the most controversial and regrettable one recorded in historical records.
Li Shimin had fourteen sons in total, and the most outstanding among them was neither Li Chengqian, who had a habit of cutting off his sleeves, nor Li Tai, who was outstanding in poetry, calligraphy, and painting, nor Li Zhi, who was timid and cowardly, but Li Zhi, His Highness the King of Wu.
Ke.
His Highness the King of Wu was not only good at riding and shooting, and well versed in literature and history, but also had a high reputation and was attracted by material trends. In fact, he was the so-called civil and military master.
Li Shimin once praised him more than once in front of all his ministers as "English and fruit are like me". However, such an outstanding prince died in the fight between the family and the court. Historical records record: "Injustice at home."
Li Ke always kept in mind the teachings of his mother and concubine and was very cautious, but even so, he could not escape the unwarranted frame-up. As a prince, his life was like a piece of grass. From this aspect, it was indeed an injustice.
But in Yang Fan's view, Li Ke's tragic ending was both accidental and inevitable.
Money makes people confused, and power makes people crazy. In this world, if you are on the side of these two things, all loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice will have to stand aside.
In ordinary wealthy families, many people will fight against each other because of the fight for wealth, let alone a life-and-death royal fight.
The more talented he is, the more dangerous he is in the bloody battle for the throne. Born in the royal family, you should realize that the sword has double edges. If you don't want to compete for the throne, you have to be mediocre and cowardly. If you want to compete for the throne, you should do it as soon as possible.
Be prepared to get involved in power struggles.
There is no doubt that he was not mentally prepared, let alone strategically prepared. He just wanted to show off himself, and the end could be imagined.
