Chapter 140 The sandpiper and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit

In the prison of Taiyuan City, six thick braziers flickered with fire, and the entire prison looked eerie. The cloaked assassin had his collarbones pierced through his shoulders and fastened to a thick shelf. The Assassin was dressed in a mid-laner, his hair was scattered, his body was bruised, his face was dirty, and his whole body was emaciated and out of shape, except for two eyes that were shining and glowing with blood.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, dressed in official uniforms and covering his nose, paced in front of the assassin, and the two officials, holding their breath, stood behind him with their heads bowed.

The two jailers whipped slightly.

The eldest grandson Wuji asked in a long tone: "Ask you again, who instructed you to do it!" ”

The assassin let out a mouthful of bloody spit, and laughed hoarsely: "Through the ages, there are no heroes to be found, and Sun Zhong is looking for a solution." The dance pavilion is always blown away, and the rain blows the wind. The grass and trees in the slanting sun, the ordinary alleys, and the humane slaves once lived. Think about back then, Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger......"

The muscles on Eldest Sun Wuji's face twitched slightly, he didn't know this long and short sentence, this was sung by Chen Yingchu at the banquet in the East Palace after defeating Liu Wuzhou. The Assassin did not say who was behind it, but the answer was self-evident.

I saw the eldest grandson Wuji approaching the assassin's face and sneered: "I'm not afraid of death." Tell me, who is Sun Zhongmou? Who is Liu Jinu? ”

He straightened up, wiped his nose lightly with a handkerchief, and said with the same expression: "Keep fighting!" ”

- Bang Bang Bang

A crisp whip sounded.

An official of the Criminal Department stepped forward and said: "Take it easy, don't beat it to death, you can't afford to kill a criminal!" ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, left the prison and took a carriage to the Taiyuan Governor's Mansion.

In Li Shimin's study, Li Shimin sat in front of the bookcase, bowing his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood on both sides.

Du Ruhui looked incredulous and asked, "Did the assassin really say that?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at him and replied lightly: "That's it, can I still lie about this matter?" Real is true, can't be fake! ”

Du Ruhui shook the sleeves of his robe and asked, "Sun Zhongmou, Liu Jinu, is this what you should ask?" ”

Sun Zhongmou Sun Quan is the founding emperor of Eastern Wu, Liu Jinu is Liu Yu, the founding emperor of Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty, such a figure is not a minister, and now the eldest grandson Wuji obviously has an attitude of inducing confessions.

It's okay to put it here, but once Princess Pingyang hears the wind, it will offend Princess Pingyang to death. In the snowstorm last year, Princess Pingyang helped the needy, and there were countless living people, and she was affectionately called the Living Bodhisattva by the people of Guanzhong. Whether it is the government or the opposition, or the people, Li Xiuning's reputation is very good.

In this era, the common people admit that Li Xiuning is a good person, and whoever goes against Li Xiuning must be a bad person, not to mention anything else, these ordinary people dare to smash your black bricks, or splash feces at night while no one is spilling. Kong Yingda, one of the bachelors of the Qin Palace, said unintentionally when he was drunk, and there was no hero in the situation, so he made the shaft famous.

As a result, Kong Yingda in the entire Chang'an couldn't even buy green vegetables, and no one was willing to work for Kong Yingda's house, and even the people who collected night incense didn't go to Kong Yingda's house to collect night incense.

Kong Yingda was smoked by night incense at home for more than ten days, and then she came to the door to kowtow to Li Xiuning and admit her mistake, and the matter came to an end.

Fang Xuanling said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, this assassin, I think it is better to send it to the Chang'an Criminal Department or Dali Temple, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince watch it for trial!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly became anxious: "Let the prince check Chen Ying, it is better to let the left hand of the East Palace check the right hand, it is called a strange thing if it can be found out." ”

Li Shimin's eyelids drooped, and he asked calmly: "If you don't let the prince investigate, then who will go?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately said: "Such a big case should naturally be led by Wutai (Yushitai), and the three divisions will try it!" ”

Du Ruhui said quietly: "The six imperial histories, three of them are from the East Palace, if the three divisions are tried, it is just a formality, how to check or how to check......

The eldest grandson Wuji spread his hand and said, "Why not?" Chen Dadu is the number one general of the East Palace, how can he let go of such an opportunity? ”

Li Shimin slowly opened his mouth and said: "The Son of Heaven is not confused! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned.

Du Ruhui lowered his head and said, "What His Royal Highness King Qin said is true!" ”

Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji was still puzzled, he explained, "What if, the assassin is sent by himself? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned and sneered: "How is this possible? ”

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "In the eyes of Your Majesty and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, this is completely possible. Since the defeat of the Eastern Turks in Dingxiang, we are attacking, the East Palace is defending, we are advancing, and the East Palace is retreating. In recent days, there have been more than 100 folds in Wutai, forcing His Majesty to recall the king, and the momentum of party struggle has been achieved. At this time, any rash disposition will involve the court situation, there is no conclusive evidence, remove Chen Ying, and let anyone replace him, in the eyes of the government and the opposition, this is the precursor of His Majesty's easy storage. In this way, the prince of the East Palace, Pei Ju, Chen Ying, Li Yi, and Li Shiji, including Li Jin, who is about to be transferred to Youzhou, will all become the targets of the government and the opposition. In that kind of situation, I'm afraid that even His Majesty himself can't control it. ”

Eldest Sun Wuji took a deep breath: "So...... Your Majesty still wants to keep Chen Ying? ”

There was indignation in his tone.

Du Ruhui exhaled deeply: "The key is not here. ”

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were stunned.

Tang Haoxin stood up, and the two stepped forward to hold his arm.

Du Ruhui slowly walked to the outside of the study, gently twisted his beard, and said, "The key is who did this case." ”

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji's faces changed color at the same time.

The eldest grandson Wuji lost his voice and asked, "Isn't it Chen Ying who did it?" ”

Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "You are blinded by the party dispute, and you don't want to think about it, if Chen Ying really does this case, what is the benefit to the East Palace?" This is His Royal Highness the King of Qin is unharmed, His Majesty still has doubts in his heart, if His Royal Highness the King of Qin is really unfortunate to die, will His Majesty still be confused? At that time, the wrath of thunder will fall on the heads of the party members of the East Palace. The transposition of the East Palace is certainly the proper meaning of it, and the people who can enter the East Palace can follow it......"

The eldest grandson Wuji's face was full of surprise.

Fang Xuanling frowned in contemplation, and the light in his eyes flickered.

Li Shimin sighed and said: "There are always gains and losses in the world, and if you want to get the position of the East Palace, you must give up local authority." If you want local authority, you need to give up the east palace position, the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman profits. ”

Li Shimin muttered, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his head, muttering to himself: "The sandpiper and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits." ”

After a pause, Li Shimin looked at the crowd: "The lonely is a sandpiper, the East Palace is a mussel, we compete with the East Palace, and the fisherman profits." Who is the Fisherman? ”

……

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Bursts of firecrackers crackled, and in front of the gate of the largest courtyard of Chenjiabao in the clear forest, a ball of fire sounded.

Of course, the firecrackers at this time are not actually the firecrackers of later generations, but just a section of bamboo, which is stuffed with some saltpeter, and in the process of burning, it bursts into a loud sound.

Countless children gathered in front of the gate of the courtyard, looking up at a large piece of red cloth on the plaque of the gate.

As the red cloth was uncovered, eight powerful characters were revealed: "Datang University of Industrial Science and Technology".

This is said to be a science and technology university, in fact, it is a bit too exaggerated, covering an area of only more than 100 acres of courtyard, occupying the first three courtyards of Chenjiabao. All the walls are covered with white tiles, and the sun shines brightly.

Don't look at this courtyard doesn't seem tall or majestic. However, the decoration is very practical, and every classroom is equipped with a fireplace, and a fire is lit, so that even on a cold day, it is warm inside, even warmer than hiding in a kang.

That's right, it is the first industrial science and technology university in Wannian County, and of course, the first industrial university in the true sense of the entire Tang Dynasty.

However, this industrial university is relatively shabby, and there is no famous Confucian. Even if the signboard of this plaque was written by Li Xiuning begging Yu Shinan, otherwise he would not even be able to find a teacher who could write well.

However, Chen Ying is not worried. Anyway, he didn't start a school and create a real university comparable to the American Zijian.

When he first heard that Li Xiuning was going to set up a university, Li Yuan was very surprised. In this era, they were all learned to write and martial arts and sold to the emperor's family.

Li Xiuning wanted to set up a school, which naturally attracted Li Yuan's attention. When Yu Yanzhang told Li Yuan the information he had discovered, Li Yuan was stunned: "If you don't teach the Four Books and the Five Classics, and don't teach the way of the saints, what kind of school is it?" ”

Li Xiuning also said eloquently: "Chen Lang has already said that this university definitely does not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, nor does it teach the way of the sages, the students of this school learn to know thousands of words, learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and then begin to learn the courses they are most interested in, those who like to paint learn to paint, those who like to sing learn to sing, and those who like farming to learn to farm!" The gentleman I am going to hire in the future is also an elite from all walks of life, and I want to use this school to cultivate a large number of elites from all walks of life, not a group of nerds who can only talk! ”

Hearing Li Xiuning's strange remarks, Li Yuan couldn't smile bitterly.

However, Li Jiancheng took the firmest support for Li Xiuning, and when Li Xiuning's Datang Industrial Science and Technology Opening Ceremony was held, Li Jiancheng also brought a group of subordinates from the East Palace to Chenjiabao to cheer.

Since giving birth, Li Xiuning has lost a lot. Especially her snow-white dress, coupled with the quiet and gentle smile on her face. She's lost some weight, which is distressing.

At this moment, Wei Ting, who was beside Li Jiancheng, came in a hurry, holding a red bamboo tube, and an urgent report was unfolded, Li Jiancheng glanced at it, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he slowly said: "Someone!" ”

Wei Chigong walked over, bowed down to Li Jiancheng and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Prepare to drive, go back to the palace immediately!" The subordinate officials of the East Palace looked at Li Jiancheng in amazement.

Li Jiancheng's cold face did not have the slightest smile, and said coldly: "I want to face the saint." ”
