Chapter 119: Wang An's Inference
"Liulang, since you don't want to set up another princess, then I won't force you to be a mother, but the situation in your house must be changed, in addition to the princess, at least a few more concubines, only in this way can you have an heir as soon as possible!" Concubine Yang said with an expression that could not be refused.
Li Su smiled bitterly after hearing this, what he was most worried about was this, although everyone likes beautiful women, but there are too many women, it is also a trouble, and finally thought about it and struggled for a while: "Mother, Erchen is still young now, it is the time to do a career, if you recruit concubines, don't you worry that Erchen will indulge in gentle countryside in the future, and consume the spirit of young people?" ”
"Hmph, I hope you're just a lustful prince, lest you be dishonest and have to run to the battlefield and get injured!" Concubine Yang glared at him after hearing this, and then said, "This matter is decided, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the princess, there should be two Confucian people and ten Teng people around you, I have also seen the little concubine next to you, although her background is a little lower, but it is not bad, so she will be promoted to Teng, and the remaining two Confucian and nine Teng, you don't have to worry about it, you will help you choose it for your mother!" ”
As soon as Li Su heard that Concubine Yang only gave Xijun a position as a concubine, he was immediately a little anxious, Wang Zihao's importance to himself and Xijun's own talent were not talked about for the time being, only relying on the feelings between himself and Xijun, Li Su did not want to give her only a position of concubine.
Thinking of this, Li Su immediately spoke: "Mother concubine, although the concubine next to Erchen was born in a businessman, she was actually a Taiyuan Wang, and later because of some misunderstandings, she was expelled from the clan and became a businessman, but now the misunderstanding has been resolved, and their family has returned to the Taiyuan Wang family, and this concubine is also deeply affectionate to Erchen. From Chang'an to Dengzhou, there is no complaint. In addition, she is very good at managing the industry, and she is a very important assistant to her son, if she only has a concubine. Erchen is really a little uneasy in his heart! ”
Concubine Yang also knew that her son was a loving person, and since he said so, he must have attached great importance to that concubine. So she no longer insisted and agreed to give up the position of a Confucian, but the remaining one Confucian and ten Teng had to be arranged by her. Li Su couldn't help it, so he had to agree, but Li Su also put forward his own conditions, that is, Concubine Yang couldn't find him eleven women at once, there must be a sequence, and each woman had to be nodded by him. to enter the house. Concubine Yang nodded in agreement.
finally finished talking about his business, and Li Su finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he signed an unequal treaty that humiliated the country. But he has the final say. As long as she doesn't let go, Concubine Yang can find a woman for herself. But he can't enter the palace, and he will stay in Chang'an for a year at most, as long as he withstands the pressure of this year, then this treaty will be useless.
Then Li Su was concerned about Concubine Yang's physical condition again, counting that Concubine Yang was almost eight months pregnant, and it was about to be the last and most anxious month, as a son, Li Su was naturally very worried, after all, in history, the birth of this child was not recorded at all, in case of an accident in this last month, it is likely that even Concubine Yang will be in danger.
Hearing that her son cared about his body, and the questions he asked were very detailed, and he even had to ask how many meals he ate every day, Concubine Yang, as a mother, did not feel bored, and did not hide his recent physical condition. When Li was stunned that there was nothing abnormal, he was relieved, but after he had lunch with Concubine Yang and left Wangyun Palace, he deliberately went to the Tai Hospital to find Sun Simiao, so that he could pay more attention to Concubine Yang's body.
After returning to the Qi Palace, Li Su immediately found Wang An, and as soon as they met, he immediately bowed to the ground and said: "Sir, as you guessed, the rumors in Chang'an City are indeed deliberately done by my father!" ”
Before he met Li Shimin and told him about the attack, and Li Shimin also told Li Su that the attack on him must be the five surnames and seven wangs, in order to provoke a fight between the princes, although Li Su was not fooled, but Li Shimin wanted to take the opportunity to confuse the other party, so he deliberately scolded Li Chengqian and Li Tai in front of the civil and military officials, and at the same time, he praised Li Su greatly, so that Li Su seemed to be closer to the throne, which made those families see it in their eyes, and they must think that Li Su would definitely join the battle for the throne. After all, no one can withstand the temptation to take the throne.
"Hehe, if that's the case, I'll just say that with Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, how could he make such a big mistake in front of civil officials and hundreds of officials?" Wang Ansu smiled, but then frowned, and said to himself with some puzzlement, "But what is the purpose of Your Majesty to do this?" If you really provoke a fight between His Royal Highness and several princes, it doesn't seem to be any good? ”
Wang An didn't know about Li Su's attack, so he couldn't figure out the joints for a while. And Li Su also felt that he couldn't hide it from Wang An anymore, so he asked for guilt: "Sir, Liulang has something to hide from Mr., and I ask Mr. to forgive ......" Then, Li Su told his attack and Li Shimin's inference.
And after Wang An heard this, not only did he not blame Li Su, but loudly praised him for his decisiveness and handling it very well, and after listening to Li Su's words, he pondered for a while before saying: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is indeed a generation of heroes, and the people who attacked your fleet must be the five surnames and seven wangs, and I can conclude that the one who did this must be just one family, and it is absolutely impossible for several families to join forces!" ”
"Huh? Why is the gentleman so sure? Li Su was a little surprised, although Li Shimin deduced that it was the five surnames and seven wangs, but which one, or even which ones, instigated it? But it still hasn't been investigated. But Wang An concluded that it must be a family's doing, which made Li Su a little puzzled.
Hearing Li Su's question, Wang An smiled a little and said, "Your Highness, don't think too much about the five surnames and seven wangs, these big families are too united, the dirty things of intrigue between them are not inferior to those in the court, and sending someone to attack a prince, if such a big crime is revealed, it is enough to make a family suffer a catastrophe, so if you are not absolutely sure to deal with the aftermath, the other party will definitely not be an opponent, but if the two families join forces, this is equivalent to handing over their own handles to each other, In the future, if one side is allowed to seize the opportunity, it will be absolutely fatal. ”
Speaking of this, the smile on Wang An's face suddenly disappeared, and he said categorically: "So the grass people concluded that this matter must have been done by a certain big family among the five surnames and seven hopes, and the grass people also dared to conclude that no matter how the court investigated, there would definitely be no clues in this matter, and even if they knew which family did it, there was absolutely no useful evidence!" ”
Li Su nodded while listening, Wang An's analysis was very reasonable, and at the same time, he was also a little glad in his heart, fortunately Wang An was collected by himself, if this kind of talent was reused by the five surnames and seven hopes, I am afraid that his life would be even more difficult.
"Sir, according to what you see, among the five surnames and seven hopes, which one is the most suspicious?" Li Su pondered for a while and asked a very difficult question, although when it comes to the five surnames and seven wangs, almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows it, but for some of the hidden secrets in these families, they themselves know best, this Wang An knows all about these seven great families, maybe with these understandings, he can guess something.
Hearing this question, Wang An also frowned, thought hard for a long time, and then said: "Your Highness, first of all, the Taiyuan Wang clan can be ruled out, after all, such a big thing, with the power of the Taiyuan Wang clan, it is really difficult to do, and even if he tries his best to do it, he will definitely not be able to escape the ears of the little child Wang Guo, but he was also in the fleet at the time, and he didn't know anything in advance, so it is certain that the Taiyuan Wang clan is absolutely impossible!" ”
Li Su nodded after hearing this, in fact, he had already excluded the Taiyuan Wang Clan, after all, with the current decline of the Taiyuan Wang Clan, I am afraid that no one in the clan has such courage.
"If the Taiyuan Wang clan is excluded, then among the remaining six families, the Qinghe Cui clan and the Longxi Li clan can also be excluded!" Wang An then said.
"Oh, I can figure it out if the Qinghe Cui clan excludes me, but why exclude the Longxi Li clan as well?" The reason why the Qinghe Cui clan is excluded is mainly because Cui Yu, don't look at Cui Yu is only in charge of the business situation within the Qinghe Cui clan, but the foundation laid for him by his grandfather and father is too deep, and there are his people in all aspects of the Qinghe Cui clan, if someone dares to do such a big thing, he will definitely be aware of it.
"Hehe, Your Highness must know that among the seven hopes, the Taiyuan Wang clan is ranked last, and the situation of the Longxi Li clan is only a little stronger than the Taiyuan Wang clan, ranking second to last, but Your Highness, you know that at the time of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Li clan in Longxi was still ranked before the Li clan of Zhaojun, but since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Li clan in Longxi is not as good as day by day, and even falls to the point that it is almost tied with the Taiyuan Wang clan, what is the reason?"
Although Wang An's words were not explicitly stated, Li Su understood that the Li clan in Longxi was actually the clan from which Li Su and their Li family came from, but after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, these families were suppressed. The same royal family from the Li family in Longxi, relying on their familiarity with the inside of the Li family in Longxi, is also the most handy in suppressing the Li family in Longxi, and it is precisely because of this that the power of the Li family in Longxi is declining day by day. In addition, Li Su also knew that within the Li clan in Longxi, there were still many chess pieces dominated by the royal family, so the Li clan in Longxi had no courage or strength to send people to attack him.
"Mr. Xie's teachings, Li Su understands, excluding these three families, then the people who attacked my fleet must be among the remaining four!" Li Su is not greedy, and if he can rule out three, then the area of suspicion will be greatly reduced.
"Nope! Your Highness, you are wrong, in fact, there are two more that can be excluded for the time being! After hearing this, Wang An's face turned straight, and he squinted his eyes and said again.
