Yuan Tiangang had gone out to feed the horses early, and at this time he opened the door and walked in.
"Now that he's awake, let's set off to Chang'an to recover."
"Brother Yuan, wait a minute, come and take a look at his bones and meridians."
Yuan Tiangang was slightly stunned, not knowing what Li Chunfeng meant, but he still stepped forward to check his pulse.
When his hand was placed on Li Yunxiao's wrist, Yuan Tiangang's eyes suddenly widened, looking a little unbelievable.
"Middle star position?!"
"That's not right. Even if you practice my Tiangang Jue and take the Pulse Expanding Pill, you shouldn't be able to improve so quickly."
Yuan Tiangang's cultivation speed is considered fast, but even for him, it took several months to improve his star level.
How did you manage to cross two levels this night? Simply unheard of!
Wanting to practice martial arts does not happen overnight. The reason why so many people in the world are unwilling to practice is because it is too difficult to improve.
With curiosity, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng pinched Li Yunxiao up and down.
"Hey, hey, it's almost done. Don't pinch it there."
"Hey, no, no, no, you can't pinch your butt. Are you two sincerely taking advantage of me?"
It took a quarter of an hour for Li and Yuan to stop.
Yuan Tiangang clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "Brother Yunxiao, you are really a strange person. Your meridians are different from ours. We only have twelve meridians, but you have nineteen..."
Li Chunfeng nodded and said: "These seven extra meridians are in your limbs, heart, neck, and abdomen. It is normal for your cultivation speed to be faster than ours."
"That's a good thing, right?"
Yuan Tiangang said: "Of course it's a good thing!"
"If you are at the same level as me and have the same internal strength, your body will be much harder than mine. This is the gap!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known I was so awesome!"
Li Yunxiao didn't know why he had seven extra meridians. He guessed that it might be because he was not a local.
Li Yunxiao laughed and was in a good mood. He stepped forward and put his arms around the necks of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng and said:
"Don't worry, when I become powerful and prosperous, you will definitely follow me to prosper!"
"Brother Yunxiao, money is a common thing. Whether you have it or not is not important."
Li Yunxiao raised an eyebrow, looked at Li Chunfeng and teased: "Is this the same face you have when you have no money?"
"Okay, it's time to hit the road."
Yuan Tiangang said, turned and left.
The two quickly packed up and washed up, and the three of them set out on the road together to attend the summons in Chang'an, the capital.
.....
Chang'an.
In the Tai Chi Palace, on the dragon chair.
Li Shimin was wearing a dragon robe and had a stern expression. He was only thirty years old, and his whole body was filled with imperial aura. Just sitting there brought endless pressure to people.
He was decisive in killing, and after experiencing the Xuanwumen Incident, he personally slaughtered his eldest brother and many younger brothers, and bluntly threatened Li Yuan when to abdicate.
Li Yuan could see the general trend, cursed and announced his abdication, which succeeded Li Shimin.
Now in the first year of Zhenguan, the momentum is beginning to rise. He has many means to make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and stronger.
Under this situation, even if the emperor needs to put on a cold look, he will not be like he is now. The aura around him seems to be released, and the internal power of a great heaven seems to be uncontrollable, bringing great influence to the ministers below. Endless pressure.
Under normal circumstances, Li Shimin would not be like this. Today, Li Shimin's face was heavy, as if something was bothering him and making him unable to control his momentum.
Since he took office, it can be said that he has been walking on thin ice in dealing with things and people, and he has not dared to slack off in the slightest.
The purpose is to make the people forget how he got this emperor.
However, even so, people can still hear a lot of insults about him.
Killing is not allowed.
If we clean up this group of people, wouldn't it be equivalent to doing our job well to the outside world?
If he wants to be an eternal emperor and live forever, he can't do this!
Originally, there were not many words spread among the people.
This is all because in the past half month, the food harvest was about to be harvested, but God was not kind, and locust plagues broke out in many places in the Tang Dynasty, ravaging people's farmland.
Some people were so angry that they took this opportunity to place all the blame on Li Shimin.
There are rumors that the emperor's position was incorrectly obtained, so God was angry and sent a plague of locusts to warn the world.
Civil and military officials naturally knew these things, but they did not dare to report them for fear of offending Li Shimin.
And Li Shimin likes to go on tour occasionally, when he hears these rumors with his own ears.
Even though he is now an emperor and holds the power of life and death in the world, he can't help but sigh.
All his efforts are invisible to the people, and they are still no match for someone else's words: "What you get is not right"!
"boom!"
Li Shimin slapped the table hard, causing the table to shatter.
The internal force vibrated, causing pieces of table debris to fly in the distance, and the sound echoed in the slightly empty Tai Chi Hall.
The civil and military officials below trembled all over, lowering their heads and secretly looking at the furious emperor with their eyes.
When the emperor is angry, millions of people will be buried dead. Who dares to bear this anger? How can the ministers bear it?
"You... dare to deceive me!"
Li Shimin made a sharp voice that echoed continuously in the Tai Chi Hall. Autumn is about to enter, but the weather is hot, but the ministers feel that the temperature has suddenly dropped a lot.
That's because the heart is at work, they are afraid.
"There is a locust plague in various places. As officials of the Tang Dynasty, why did you know about it but did not report it? Do you think that if we unite, I will not kill you!"
The angry shouts came, causing the ministers below to lower their heads silently, not daring to speak or talk to each other.
If he didn't speak, he might be scolded, but he wouldn't die. Even if Li Shimin was stupid, he wouldn't kill them all.
If you speak a wrong word, you may be killed.
Seeing that no one looked up, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a hint of sadness in his heart.
He stood up slowly, walked down, and then said to himself.
"Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, you are all my trusted ministers who have followed me through life and death, and fought on the battlefield. You are the people I trust the most!"
"but!"
Li Shimin's eyes turned red and he shouted loudly: "Why, why didn't you even tell me about this? They are afraid of me, are you... afraid too?"
Fang Xuanling sighed helplessly, moved to the left, and walked out among the ministers.
He raised his head and looked at Li Shimin, and said with great respect:
"Your Majesty, it's not that we are hiding anything. In fact, you are dealing with political affairs and you are pressed for time. Even if I tell you that there is no solution, it will only increase your worries."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Du Ruhui also stood up and said:
"We are all aware of His Majesty's actions. Folk rumors are all rumors. This has been the case for the people since ancient times."
"This locust plague is just a way for the people to vent their anger. If there is no way to deal with it, we... don't want to bother His Majesty."
"You are really..."
Li Shimin frowned, and his head hurt after hearing these words.
He did believe what a few people said, but if he didn't know his troubles, he didn't need to solve them?
"Okay, have you come up with any solution?"
Several people were startled when they heard this.
Seeing this, Li Shimin said, "Except you, everyone else, please step back!"
With a cold shout, the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lord, resign!"
After a moment, only Li Shimin and four people were left in the hall.
"What on earth are you going to do? Can you stop playing tricks on me? Is there any way to tell me directly?"
When Li Shimin saw that all the ministers had left, he calmed down a lot and asked.
He knew these people relatively well and obviously didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Since ancient times, heroes who have made meritorious deeds rarely die well. Among the four of them, only Cheng Yaojin doesn't look so scared from the outside.
The rest of the people had hidden secrets in their words. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were walking on thin ice like him.
"say something!"
Seeing that several people were still silent, Li Shimin gave a loud shout.
"In addition to being ministers, I and you are good brothers. I am asking you because I can't think of a solution. If you have any ideas, you can feel free to tell me!"
