Chapter 28: The Emperor's Wife

Cheng Yanjin seems to be reckless, but in fact, he has more ghost thoughts than anyone else, and he also knows that he can't do anything today, so he glared and snorted coldly: "You old killer!" Wait for Lao Tzu! With that, he turned his horse and walked away with his two sons and a group of tribesmen.

Shen Song looked at their distant figures, took a long breath, and then he thought of Li Hao again, and instantly became angry again, but he didn't have time to pay attention to Li Hao now, he mobilized the five hundred soldiers and horses of Chang'an Zhichong Mansion without authorization, although this was within his authority, but he had to play the reason, and now he had to go back to write the excerpt.

Shen Song's writing is good, and the excerpts are also quite standard, he wrote himself as an innocent passer-by in the folds, and inexplicably imprisoned Li Hao, and then was inexplicably bitten by Cheng Jinjin to make a fuss, alas, anyway, all kinds of grievances.

After Li Shimin received this excerpt, he was quite surprised, and did not explain how badly Cheng Chumo was injured, he wondered why Cheng Yanjin was so angry, and actually led people to besiege Jingzhao Prison, although he was usually used to being a bastard, but it was the first time that such a bastard happened.

He was curious and sent someone to send Cheng Biting Jin to the Ganlu Palace to meet him, and asked him why, when Cheng Biting Jin came to the Ganlu Palace, there were many other civil officials in the palace, about a dozen, this is a very normal thing, Li Shimin is diligent in government, every time he encounters a difficult matter in the Ganlu Palace, some officials will be sent to listen to the opinions, of course, these officials are civil officials, because the Tang Dynasty military attachΓ© is not allowed to participate in political affairs.

As soon as Cheng Yanjin entered the Ganlu Palace, he saluted familiarly, tore open his gong-like voice and began to cry: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged, he has been wronged to death." ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, he could see that Cheng Biting Jin was racing acting, the two had worked together for many years, one of them was racing, and the other was bound to cooperate, so Li Shimin didn't break it, and asked suspiciously: "What grievances does Lu Guogong have?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin saw that Li Shimin didn't tell himself to be flat, and it was not a way to kneel all the time, so he simply sat on the ground with his buttocks, and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, Cheng Chumo, the eldest son of the minister, went shopping yesterday and was injured by someone, and he fainted on the spot. ”

"Oh." Li Shimin nodded and raised his eyebrows and asked, "So you led people to storm Jingzhao Prison?" ”

Cheng bit Jin's head and shook it repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged, the minister has never stormed the Jingzhao Prison, and he has not even stepped into the Jingzhao Prison." ”

He was telling the truth, although he jumped up and down yesterday and was full of momentum, he was an empty shelf, and he really hadn't stepped into Jingzhao Prison for half a step.

Li Shimin sneered: "If you really stormed the Jingzhao Prison, can you still roll around with me here today?" ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed awkwardly and did not answer.

"Alright, get up." Li Shimin flattened him, and Cheng Yanjin stood up.

Li Shimin said slowly: "What happened yesterday, why did Li Hao hurt Cheng Chumo?" ”

Cheng Yanjin shook his head when he heard this, and sighed lightly: "Alas, when I say it, I am actually a bastard son of a minister, and I don't know anything......"

Cheng Biting Jin told all the things about Li Hao beating Cheng Chumo in 1510, the strange thing is that he didn't have any biased words when he narrated it, Cheng Chumo smashed the store and took the lead in beating people He said it.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that no matter how much he framed Li Hao, Li Shimin would not do anything to Li Hao, after all, Li Hao had only completed his great work for less than a few months, and at most he would be put in prison for a few days.

In this case, he might as well be generous, and besides, last night, the doctor who treated Cheng Chumo came out, saying that there is no problem with Cheng Chumo's life, and it will not affect the succession of the lineage, and this time Cheng Zhijin is finally relieved and happy, and he no longer thinks about repairing Li Hao, but repairs Cheng Chumo, why repair Cheng Chumo, because the whole thing is made by this bastard, just forget it, and the fight can't beat a fourteen-year-old and a half-year-old child, It was almost embarrassing Lu Guogong's face, so he tied poor Cheng Chumo to a big tree in the courtyard and whipped him with rattan, and it is said that his screams could be heard throughout Suzaku Street.

After listening to Cheng Biting Jin's words, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You old bastard gave birth to a little bastard, but I really didn't see it, Li Hao's kid has a big temper, but this trick is a bit indiscriminate, it's just insulting...... You father and son don't have anything to speak of. ”

Cheng Biting Jin laughed awkwardly, looking a little silly, Li Shimin got up and walked to the hall, and continued: "Although you didn't hit the Jingzhao Prison, but with your behavior yesterday, even if I send you to Qiongnan, it won't be too much, and I will miss your beloved son's heart, just do it, don't take it as an example." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Yanjin hurriedly thanked him and stepped aside.

Li Shimin smiled and suddenly asked, "Li Hao's little baby opened a fried chicken shop?" Is his chicken wishbone really so delicious? ”

Cheng bit Jin's head and shook it: "I haven't eaten it, and I don't know what it tastes like." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji spoke at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister once sent someone to Li Hao's shop to buy two catties of chicken wishbones, which is indeed very delicious, with all due respect, I am afraid that the things made by the imperial chef in the palace are also difficult to be fragrant, but the things in his store are just not on the table after all, Li Hao called it a snack, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall." ”

Li Shimin frowned and said slowly: "I don't care if I can get into the hall of elegance, as long as it is delicious, the queen's illness has been repeated recently, resulting in a very poor appetite, sometimes only half a bowl of rice a day, I am really worried." ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, it is better for the minister to send someone to buy more chicken wishbones and send them to the palace, so that Your Majesty and the queen can taste them." ”

"No need." Li Shimin waved his hand, thoughtfully, "I personally sent someone to do it." ”

"Yes."

At this time, Fang Xuanling spoke: "Your Majesty, how to deal with Li Hao's injury to Cheng Chumo?" ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and thought about it, and said: "Speaking of which, Li Hao is also a victim, he was born in poverty, and he finally saved some money with a reward, and wanted to do some small business, but he didn't expect to be messed up by Cheng Chumo's mess, this matter is bitter for both sides, and it is not good to continue to make trouble." ”

Although Li Shimin didn't say what to do, Fang Xuanling and him already had a tacit understanding, and they understood it at once, and gave up their orders: "Yes, the minister understands." ”

Li Shimin's meaning is very simple, this matter ends here, then Li Hao should naturally be acquitted, the next day, Shen Song received the official document, looking at the official document in his hand, Shen Song sighed helplessly, in fact, he had already guessed that this would be the result from the time he handed over the fold, so he could only scold Li Hao in his heart, and then issue an official document to release Li Hao.

When Li Hao came out of prison, his face was full of red light and high spirits, which looked like he had just finished prison, it was like going back to the kiln, he swaggered home, and spent some money to renovate the fried chicken restaurant in Chang'an after returning home. Don't die!

Li Shimin returned to the Lama Palace to visit Empress Changsun after discussing political affairs with the ministers in the Ganlu Palace, Empress Changsun has recently had more and more frequent asthma attacks, and her health has not been very good, and Li Shimin has to visit her every day after dealing with things.

As soon as Li Shimin entered the door, Empress Eldest Sun was about to salute, but was stopped by Li Shimin and said, "Guanyin, you are not in good health, so you don't need to bow to me." ”

Empress Changsun is only in her early thirties, and she is extremely beautiful because she has phoenix eyes and eyebrows, but because of her physical condition, her face is pale, and it is difficult to hide her illness even if she is coated with fat powder.

"How's that going to happen?" Empress Changsun said seriously, "Your Majesty governs the country with etiquette, etiquette cannot be abolished, Guanyin is not bedridden, and she should bow when she sees it." After speaking, he insisted on saluting Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was helpless, carefully helped him sit down, and asked with concern: "How is your body today, do you feel better?" ”

Empress Changsun didn't say anything white and lied, shook her head, and said truthfully: "The old problem has been going on for many years, and it has become more and more serious recently, and I am afraid that the days of Guanyin serving Your Majesty are numbered." ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense." Li Shimin feigned anger, but his eyes were full of tenderness, "You are still young, I am not old, we still have a lot of days to spend together, I want to see with my own eyes that your head is full of silver hair, you have to watch my teeth fall out one by one." ”

Li Shimin's dialogue was too sensational, and Empress Changsun listened to it warmly, snuggled her head on his broad chest, and murmured softly: "Guanyin also wants to grow old with Your Majesty, and I also want to watch the young slave and the little son grow up." ”

Li Shimin stretched out his hand to hold the eldest grandson queen, patted her on the back, and said slowly: "Okay, we can make an agreement, we must grow old together." ”

Empress Eldest Sun nodded sadly, a tear slipped down her cheek quietly, she was afraid that Li Shimin would find out, so she secretly raised her hand to wipe it away.

After a long time, Li Shimin suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that something interesting happened yesterday, which was related to Li Hao." ”

Empress Eldest Sun left Li Shimin's chest, looked at him, and asked, "But that Li Hao, who offered medicine to cure the plague and the method of planting cowpox?" ”

"That's it." Li Shimin smiled and told Empress Changsun about yesterday's events.

Empress Eldest Sun smiled and nodded after hearing this: "Li Hao is not wrong in this matter, he should not be punished, although Cheng Chumo is the initiator, but after all, he is the future Lu Guogong, and it is not appropriate to pursue it, as for Lu Guogong, he loves his son very much, so it is inevitable that he will be irrational under anger, which is also understandable." ”

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Guanyin, it's a pity that you are a daughter, if you are a man, you should become my right-hand man above the court, and you can compete with Fang Qiao." ”

Empress Eldest Sun smiled apologetically: "Guanyin is arrogant about state affairs, and she has transgressed." ”

"Don't worry about that." Li Shimin said happily, "I told you this to tell you that I plan to send someone to Li Hao's fried chicken restaurant to see if this kid's craftsmanship is really that good, if it is good, I will bring some back for you to taste, you have a poor appetite recently, and you have lost weight." ”

Empress Eldest Sun's heart warmed when she heard this, but she still didn't forget to laugh: "Your Majesty will go to find a young man in cloth clothes for a bite to eat?" I'm afraid there are other reasons, right? ”

Li Shimin laughed heartily when he heard this: "Sure enough, you know me best, there are indeed other reasons, do you remember the kind of cowpox prescription that Li Hao gave me, I handed it over to the Tai Hospital to deal with, the Tai Hospital came to report a few days ago, saying that the method of planting cowpox can really restrain smallpox, but anyone who has been planted with cowpox will not get smallpox again, even if it eats and lives with a patient with smallpox, there is no problem." ”

Empress Changsun was overjoyed when she heard this, hurriedly tidied up her clothes, bowed deeply to Li Shimin, and said: "That is the case, the people of the Tang Dynasty will no longer be afraid of the plague in the future, Your Majesty has this talent, and the concubines congratulate Your Majesty." ”
