Li Shimin looked tired and rubbed his shoulders and returned to the Liangyi Hall after going to the court too early, and the eunuch sent a pot of melons and fruits at a very good time.

"Your Majesty, this is the fruit of the envoy from the Western Regions, it is very fresh, please taste it."

Li Shimin nodded, and suddenly asked, "Speaking of the envoy, how is the case in Zhaoying County?" Today is the second day, Cheng Biting Jin's old puppet won't have a clue, right? ”

The eunuch bowed down and responded: "Back to Your Majesty, Lu Guogong has arrested five prisoners, one of whom committed suicide by poisoning, two were killed by his colleagues, two were alive, and one prisoner accidentally escaped, and the prisoner has been escorted to the Dali Temple cell by heavy soldiers and strictly guarded. Because Lu Guogong was still dealing with the aftermath in Zhaoying County, he sent his subordinates to take up his post, and now he is waiting outside the palace. ”

"Oh? Caught the prisoner so quickly? I underestimated him, and asked that person to come to the Liangyi Hall to tell me in detail what happened. ”

"Yes."

The eunuch hurriedly retreated, Li Shimin began to look through the recital, he had just finished dealing with big and small things in the morning, and he had to continue when he returned to the palace, and there was no time to rest.

To be honest, being the emperor was very tired, and Li Shimin often reflected on why he couldn't think about it so much at night.

"Squeak~" The side door of the Liangyi Hall was pushed open a small crack, and a small figure poked inside, and then, lightly walked inside.

When the little figure was about to approach Li Shimin, he suddenly sped up and hugged Li Shimin's back, and the immature child's voice babbled. "Father... Guess who I am. ”

Li Shimin put down the music and tilted his head to think about it. "Well~ you're my precious daughter."

The little figure was unwilling and asked, "Which baby daughter is it?" ”

Li Shimin laughed and hugged the little figure behind him into his arms with his backhand. "It's my precious Mingda."

Li Mingda suddenly pouted: "Father can guess that it is Mingda every time, and it doesn't mean anything at all." ”

Li Shimin smiled dumbly: "Okay, okay, then my father won't guess that it's you in the future, okay?" ”

"That's even more boring." Li Mingda's small mouth was curled higher.

"Hahaha, you can't guess, you can't guess, Mingda, you have a problem for your father."

Li Mingda said very seriously: "Guess or not, it depends on what my father thinks." If you deliberately please me, whether you can guess it or not, it will lose your interest. ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head: Is this daughter really only three years old? The mind is too mature, right? This is very similar to her mother, the eldest grandson.

Thinking of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin's heart ached, and his sadness was beyond words.

"Father, did Mingda say something wrong to make my father unhappy?" Li Mingda blinked and looked at Li Shimin with big eyes.

Li Shimin tried to squeeze out a smile and touched Li Mingda's little head.

"No, no, how can I be angry with Mingda? Baby, you're too late. ”

Li Mingda's eyes were filled with tears: "Father, isn't it... Do you think of your mother? ”

Li Shimin sighed lightly and gently wiped away his tears for his daughter: "Okay, Mingda doesn't cry, how about your father take you out to play in two days?" ”

Although Li Mingda is mentally mature, he is a child in the end, and when he heard that he could go out to play, he immediately burst into tears and laughed: "Okay! My father hasn't taken me out to play for a long time, and my brother didn't take me with him last time. ”

"Hehe, when you're older, you can ask your brother to take you out for a walk."

Li Mingda stretched out his fingers and said very seriously in front of Li Shimin: "Three years old, Mingda is three years old, not young." ”

"Haha, no matter how old Mingda is, he is just a child who doesn't grow up in front of me." Li Shimin scratched Li Mingda's little nose dotingly, making Li Mingda giggle.

"Your Majesty, Fan Jiang, the commander of the left army, Zhaowu Lieutenant, is asking to see you outside the palace."

Li Shimin waved his hand lightly: "Come in." ”

Li Mingda saw that his father had something to talk about with others, and said obediently: "My father has state affairs to discuss, and Mingda will retire first." ”

"No need, Mingda stays with me." Li Shimin waved to the palace maid on the side, and the palace maid immediately brought a soft cushion and put it beside Li Shimin, and carefully picked up Li Mingda, put her on the soft cushion, and knelt behind him to support Li Mingda to sit.

At this time, a burly man walked into the Liangyi Palace, it was Fan Jiang. walked up to Li Shimin, clenched his fists and knelt on one knee: "The last general, Fan Jiang, see Your Majesty." ”

"Let's be even, how far has the case in Zhaoying County progressed, let's talk to me in detail."

"Yes!" Fan Jiang provided clues to Chen Fei and explained in detail the details of the design to arrest the prisoner.

The whole thing is like Chen Fei's personal biography, and almost all the credit is made by Chen Fei.

In fact, Fan Jiang was instructed by Cheng Yanjin to let him say so.

If it weren't for Chen Fei to provide clues and contribute, I'm afraid that this case may not have eyebrows if it drags on for ten days and half a month, and I am afraid that he will be the one who will suffer at that time.

In addition, Cheng Yanjin is a person with clear grievances, since he has accepted the favor, he must find a way to repay the favor, how to pay it back? What could be more weighty than saying a few kind words for him in front of today?

So the name Chen Fei was once again on the lips of the Son of Heaven.

"Chen Fei? Hey, why does this name sound so familiar? Li Shimin frowned and couldn't think of it for a while.

Li Mingda on the side reminded loudly: "Father, the author of the poem "Compassion for Nong" some time ago is also called Chen Fei. ”

"Yes, I remembered that that person seemed to be named Chen Fei, and he was still a fifteen-year-old baby. Fan Jiang, are these two the same person? ”

Fan Jiang hugged his fists and said, "It's the same person." ”

"Huh? Is it really the same person? Just a fifteen-year-old baby? Do you have such a skill? can write poems and give advice, do things carefully, is there really such a talent in the world? ”

"The last general is just telling the truth."

Li Shimin nodded, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he said, "Can you bring the prisoner's confession?" ”

Fan Jiang carefully took out a piece of paper from his arms and respectfully handed it to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, please take a look." ”

Li Shimin unfolded the paper, frowned and read it word by word for a long time, and finally put down the confession, half-closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers on the table one by one.

The atmosphere of silence lasted for a long time...

"Fan Jiang." Li Shimin finally spoke.

"The end will be."

"Go back and tell Cheng Yanjin that tomorrow let him take the left leader back to Chang'an, and the officials of Zhaoying County will immediately arrange someone to replace him. As for Chen Fei, who has made the greatest contribution in this case...... He is too young to be an official, so I give him... Give him to enter the country to supervise and teach, free of room and board, if he can get fame by his ability, I will seal him. ”
