Li Hao ordered someone to bring a Taishi chair and sit in the middle of the courtyard, and Ziyan stood in front of her silently.

"Get on your knees." Li Hao said lightly, although he didn't say it loudly, but it was very majestic, making people unable to have any thoughts of resisting, let alone a little palace maid.

Ziyan bent her knees and fell to the ground with a "plop", tears flowed down, kowtowed and begged: "The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life......"

"Why spare your life?" Li Hao asked expressionlessly, "Did you do something wrong?" ”

Ziyan raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "It's the slave maid, it's the slave maid who changed the child of the prince and the prince, and the slave and maid also lied in front of the prince and the prince." ”

"Why perjury?" Li Hao is still expressionless, but his appearance is far more frightening than the thunderous thunder.

"Change the child...... It is because the slave and maid are afraid of punishment and give perjury...... It was forced by the crown princess, and the princess forced the lives of the slave and maid's family, and the slave and maid had to do that......"

She said there, Lu Yun took a pen behind Li Hao to write a confession, and when she finished speaking, Lu Yun also finished writing, Li Hao took a look at the confession, handed it to Ziyan and said, "Let's draw a charge." ”

"Slave maid...... Can't write. ”

"Then press the mudra."

Lu Yun handed over the seal clay that had been prepared a long time ago, Ziyan had no choice but to press the handprint, she also knew that if she pressed this handprint, she would die, but what else could she do, even if she didn't admit it, Li Hao could still kill her.

Li Hao took back his confession, folded it and put it in his arms, and said slowly: "Ziyan, although you have done something wrong, this king does not intend to punish you, but wants to send you to an island, where it is very good, your family...... Waiting for you there. ”

"What?" Ziyan was shocked when she heard this, and then said sadly, "Lord Wang, you can punish the slave and maid, please let go of the slave's family, the slave and maid beg you." She said and kowtowed, and her forehead touched the ground with a sound, and it only took a few strokes to break her forehead.

"Get up!" Li Hao suddenly snorted coldly.

Ziyan was so frightened that she stopped her movements, hesitated to get up, and looked at Li Hao in horror like a frightened deer.

Li Hao raised his eyes to look at her, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, that island is a good place, there are hundreds of thousands of people living in it, there are town markets, and there are a lot of fertile fields. ”

"Huh?" Ziyan was a little stunned for a while when she heard this, she couldn't have dreamed of such a rich reward.

Li Hao continued: "However, these things are not taken for nothing, you must guarantee that you are not allowed to leak half a sentence about the affairs in the Ganye Temple, otherwise, you and your family will die without a place to be buried, this king does what he says, do you believe it?" ”

"Believe, the slave doesn't dare to disobey!" Ziyan responded urgently, she could see that King Qiongnan also planned to make this matter wrong, as for what King Qiongnan's purpose was, she didn't have to think about it.

Li Hao got up slowly and said, "Before dawn, Lu Yun, you take her to prepare, and at dawn you will send Lin Dingkun to take her out of the city and send her to Liuqiu." ”

"Yes." Lu Yun stepped forward and spread his hands to Ziyan and said, "Girl, please." ”

Ziyan followed the direction pointed by Lu Yun as she said.

Next, Li Hao called Chen Song and Zhu Ruihuan and asked them to prepare and report to the East Palace tomorrow, Chen Song had no opinion, but Zhu Ruihuan was not very happy, he went to the East Palace, it was inconvenient to come out, so that he could not see his son and wife, he was influenced by Li Hao and loved his wife very much, but Li Hao had a life, and he had to go back to pack his bags according to his words.

Early the next morning, Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, asked to see Li Shimin, and reported that last night's fire in the East Palace burned a side courtyard of the Chengen Palace, and more than a dozen palace maids were burned alive.

Li Shimin frowned after listening to the report, and said, "Are the crown prince and the emperor and grandson okay?" ”

Sun Fujia said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the crown prince and the imperial grandson are fine. ”

Li Shimin asked again: "Then was the fire caused by someone or carelessness with fire?" ”

Sun Fujia said: "For the time being, there is no conclusion. ”

Li Shimin was unhappy when he heard this, and frowned: "What are you going to do, isn't Di Renjie always the best at investigating cases?" Can't find out this? ”

Sun Fujia replied: "Your Majesty, there is a suspicious case in Liuzhou, Di Renjie has gone to Liuzhou, and it is estimated that he will not be able to rush back in more than ten days." ”

Li Shimin was displeased when he heard this: "Your Dali Temple won't do things without Di Renjie, how have you come over all these years?" ”

Sun Fujia was embarrassed for a while when he heard this, so he could only bow down and say: "Your Majesty is angry, and the minister is guilty." ”

"That's it! Come on! Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently, "Stand down, stand down, and come back to report the results when you find out." ”

"Obey the order, the minister retires." Sun Fujia bowed down and withdrew from the Manna Palace, his head covered in cold sweat.

Li Shimin's eyebrows were locked and he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Xu Lian, pass on Li Yuanzhong." ”

"Pass on Li Yuanzhong!" Xu Lian shouted loudly, and when he finished shouting, he actually covered his chest and coughed.

Seeing this, Li Shimin turned his head to stare at Xu Lian, and Xu Lian hurriedly said in panic: "The emperor forgives the sin, the old slave has lost his honor." ”

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed leisurely: "Old guy, you are also old." ”

Xu Lian was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "The old slave will naturally get old." ”

"Yes, we are not immortals...... Li Shimin raised his head and sighed, "We are all old, and we can live one day at a time." The words are full of gloom.

As soon as Xu Lian wanted to speak, a sonorous voice came from outside the hall: "Minister Li Yuanzhong was ordered to ask to see!" ”

"Come in!"

Li Yuanzhong strode into the heart of the hall and saluted: "Long live my emperor." ”

"Flat."

"Long live thanks!"

Li Shimin said: "Li Yuanzhong, there was a fire in the East Palace last night, I am afraid that there will be evil people, you send your right-hand men to lead three hundred gold guards to the East Palace to protect the safety of the crown prince and the emperor's grandson. ”

"Yes!" Li Yuanzhong clenched his fists and left.

For Li Shimin, the most important thing is to protect the safety of Li Zhi and Li Hong, his purpose is basically the same as Li Hao, but the fire in the East Palace is destined to be impossible to find out, the biggest clue that Dali Temple can find out is that there are two thousand cows drowned in the lotus pond, as for whether they fell into the water and drowned or were murdered, whether it is related to the fire case, can not be found, no clue.

Li Hao didn't care about this matter, because he knew that no matter how much he pulled it, he couldn't pull it on his head, even if Di Renjie went to investigate, he was not afraid, because the fire was not set by him in the first place, not to mention that Di Renjie was still out of town and couldn't come back to investigate the case, and when he came back, a lot of evidence was afraid that it would have disappeared, in that case, how could Di Renjie still investigate, although Di Renjie was very good at investigating the case, he was just a mortal, not a god.

Dealing with a series of things, Li Hao also began to get busy, first of all, he began to take office as the general of Tiance Mansion, Tiance Mansion was built at the foot of a small hill twenty miles east of Chang'an City, this mountain is not high, the mountain is gentle, Tiance Mansion directly occupies most of the mountain, from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain three miles away, covers an area of more than 2,000 acres, the project is so huge, five months to build such a large military academy, how much manpower and material resources were used, it is said that it took more than 500,000 yuan, And 400,000 of them are Li Shimin's own pockets, and the household department only has 130,000 yuan, Li Shimin is also rich now, after all, the glass business he cooperated with Li Hao has monopolized the market, and he has made a lot of money over the years, and the money obtained from dividends is owned by Li Shimin personally and included in his private treasury, not into the treasury, so Li Shimin can easily take out a huge sum of 400,000 yuan.

Li Hao came to Tiance Mansion, only to see that this Tiance Mansion is almost a city, and on the city wall more than six meters high, there is a guard standing guard every ten zhang, and the defense is very tight.

Li Hao entered the gate of Tiance Mansion, came to the main hall of the General Office of Tiance Mansion, and summoned all the officials to come to the meeting, most of these officials are acquaintances, Li Hao learned about the situation, at present, there are a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses in Tiance Mansion, all of them are newly recruited recruits, the oldest is thirty-six years old, and the youngest is only fifteen years old, but all recruits who are more than twenty-five years old are mostly brought martial arts, otherwise they will not be hired.

At the time of the meeting, Li Hao distributed a series of training plans and military course training plan materials to all officials.

Training is very simple, just practice like that, just be able to endure hardships, but military course training will be more troublesome, because the purpose of military course training is to cultivate military talents, these talents will either be generals or marshals in the future, in short, the mind should be flexible, to be smart, although Tiance Mansion is called Tiance Mansion, but in Li Hao's heart, its name is called "Datang Military Academy", from now on, this will be the cradle of Datang generals.

If you want to cultivate talents, the first level is to select good seedlings, Li Hao came out with a test paper, there are three test questions on the test paper, the test questions are not very difficult, in fact, it is equivalent to three application questions, suppose you are on the march to fight, you encounter three sudden situations, in the face of these three situations, how should you deal with the general.

The test paper was sent to the bookstore for typesetting, 20,000 copies were printed, and distributed to 20,000 recruits.

However, only half of them were answering questions, and the other half were there in a daze, because they ...... Illiterate.

Li Hao is also very helpless, although Datang is rich now, but it is limited to material life has become sufficient, spiritual civilization is still very lacking, the reason why Li Hao is working so hard to change the world, is to let the people of Datang be like the people of the future world, no longer just satisfied with material life, but to develop to the level of spiritual civilization, only when all the people are educated, our nation can become extremely strong.

Although there were 10,000 illiterate recruits, Li Hao did not give up on them, and immediately sent hundreds of special forces to read out the test papers in the crowd over and over again, so that those who could not read and write in their hearts, and also sent hundreds of special forces to be responsible for ghostwriting on the side, as long as those illiterate came up with the answers, go to the special forces who wrote the answers to the ghostwriters, and those special forces would write the answers on their behalf and sign their names.

After a whole morning of busy work, all the test papers were collected, Li Hao sent someone to send the test papers to his office, and then ordered Qin Huaiyu to take this group of recruits to start drilling, drill is the foundation, no matter who is selected, drill is inevitable, on the contrary, it is necessary to double the training, as a general, if you are not stronger than a soldier, how can you serve the public.

At the end of the half-day training, this group of recruits were as tired as dead dogs, but in the barracks dormitory, they couldn't hear any complaints, because this time the road was chosen by themselves, they admired Li Hao's prestige, and they all came with a heroic heart and enthusiasm to serve the country, and it was their lifelong ambition to be able to follow the military god to make contributions, so they didn't complain, but it can also be seen that the devil training formulated by Li Hao has been very successful in polishing their sharpness, and in just half a day, many people can't bear it.

Li Hao was not in a hurry to review those test papers, but sent people to put up banners around the Tiance Mansion, and there were various slogans on the banners, such as:

"More sweat on the training ground, less blood on the battlefield, and less tears for parents at home."

"Raise my Tang Guowei! Inspire the soul of my Tang Army! ”

"Those who offend my Tang Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away!"

……

All of them are some hot-blooded and heroic slogans, ancient people are righteous and light-hearted, it is easy to be infected by these heroic words, and some simple banners and slogans are like gas stations, which can provide these recruits with very great spiritual strength.

Li Hao's trick really worked, and the next day, when all the recruits gathered, when they saw these banners and slogans, they were all enthusiastic, and they were full of motivation to devote themselves to devilish training again.

Seeing that the training was being carried out in an orderly manner, Li Hao also began to review the test papers, 20,000 test papers, it is not an easy job, this kind of thing can not be helped by others, he can only personally read it one by one, fortunately, he is very fast, as long as there is a question that is not qualified, it will be eliminated directly.
