Li Shimin also knew that it was unrealistic to expect Wang Meng to say words he didn't like to hear.
After all, the other party was the stable boy who had been with him since he was a boy, and both parties knew each other's personalities well.
"This matter is not as simple as it seems."
After thinking for a moment, Li Shimin made a decision.
"Let the people from Baiqisi take action. I want to know all the ins and outs of this matter. Remember, it's all the details."
Wang Meng nodded, followed the order and left.
Dragons have reverse scales, and anyone who touches them will die.
Likewise, the majesty of the Heavenly Family cannot be violated.
Baiqisi is the most secretive person in Li Shimin's hands. As long as they take action, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
What can be concluded is that no matter how many people are involved this time, their fate is almost certain.
…………
"It's finally here!"
Looking at the magnificent Chang'an City in front of him, Li Ke was a little excited.
Li Ke couldn't bear the bumpy journey. At this time, he returned to Chang'an again, which made him quite emotional.
It's not that he had tears in his eyes, but he was indeed tortured along the way.
For a modern person, spiritual food is much more important than material things.
What's more, there is not much material on the march.
As a leader, it is impossible for the soldiers to drink wild vegetable soup there, while Li Ke eats fish and meat alone.
Some things are not impossible, but cannot be done.
Li Ke is still very clear about this.
The warrant was handed over at the city gate, and the group entered Chang'an City with respect.
"Welcome to His Highness King Wu."
At the gate of the Ministry of Household Affairs, a group of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs personally greeted him.
After all, Li Ke had solved a major problem for them, and such treatment was completely reasonable.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wu is so talented that I and others cannot match him."
Looking at the boxes of salt delivered to the Ministry of Household Affairs, an official sighed.
"This lord is extremely complimentary."
Li Ke arched his hand.
"No, this is not a compliment at all."
The official straightened his clothes and bowed to Li Ke.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving the people of Chang'an City from the fire and water."
Li Ke was startled and hurriedly got out of the way.
As a prince, he was qualified to receive a large gift from an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
But being qualified and being able are two different things. If you really make some achievements, you don't know how high the sky is, and I'm afraid you won't be far away from losing your head.
The two sides handed over the materials and looked at the statistics of 120,000 yuan in the data book. No one from the household department said anything.
Officials have clear minds about this kind of thing, so naturally they won't be stupid enough to point it out.
It's not that Leng Touqing has never done this before.
Only on the second day after the incident, he and his entire family disappeared in Chang'an City.
Because this is not a trivial matter, but represents the collective interests of the generals.
The Tang Dynasty was no better than the Song Dynasty. At least in the early Tang Dynasty, the words of military generals still held great weight.
This can be reflected from the difference in the number of civil and military personnel in Lingyan Pavilion.
If you offend them, your good days will come to an end.
"Your Highness, here we are..."
The centurion asked Li Ke for instructions.
"What are you still doing here? Let's go back to our homes and find our own mothers."
Li Ke waved his hand.
The mission was completed and the soldier talisman was handed in.
If he allowed these people to continue to stay by his side, he would be disrespecting the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
Harboring private soldiers is a serious crime and is the most unacceptable thing for the emperor. Li Ke would not be stupid enough to do that.
"Yes, Your Highness, let's go then..."
The centurion was a little reluctant to give up, but the military order was so strong that he could not object.
The other soldiers also had the same emotions as him.
Leaders like Li Ke are not easy to come across.
He is not greedy for merit, not arrogant, and knows how to provide benefits to his brothers.
If you follow such a leader, you don't need to do anything, and you will be able to achieve military success at your fingertips.
What Li Ke didn't know was that his actions planted a seed in the hearts of many soldiers.
This seed will quietly take root and sprout, and eventually burst out with great power at an unexpected time.
But that’s all for another day.
"Lao Huo, let's go have a drink."
Putting his arm around Huo Qubing's shoulders, Li Ke walked toward the restaurant.
For more than a month, his stomach had been wronged like never before.
All day long I had either vegetable soup or mushy porridge, which made me feel like I had a bird in my mouth.
It didn't matter that Huo Qu fell ill. Although he was born into a noble family, he wasn't that particular about food.
It's the kind that makes you happy when you have delicious food, and you can still enjoy it even if you don't have delicious food.
Tianxiang Restaurant, the best restaurant in Chang'an City.
Walking into the lobby, Li Ke casually threw down a piece of silver, and the waiter waited respectfully beside him as if he were seeing his biological parents.
"Choose a secluded place, preferably by the window. If we are good at the food, just come here."
"Come on sir, please come to the second floor."
As soon as the dishes were served, Li Ke couldn't help but start eating them.
There is indeed a gap in taste between the dishes at this time and later generations, this cannot be denied.
But fortunately, you can eat with confidence. After all, additives will not be invented until more than a thousand years.
What's more, after three years in the military camp, a sow competes with Diao Chan.
The same goes for eating. After eating rough military food for a month, anything in Li Ke's mouth will become the supreme delicacy.
There is no feast without food, and there is no dinner without wine.
Li Ke took out the Feitian Moutai that he had drawn through the system lottery and poured a drink for Huo Qubing.
"Taste it."
It was true that Huo Qu was sick. He picked up the glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, watching Li Ke's cheeks twitch slightly.
This glass of wine was enough for two taels. He was not afraid that Huo Qubing would get drunk.
The main reason is that he only has three bottles of this wine now, and he doesn't know if he will be able to get more in the future.
But he soon felt relieved. The other party was a general who was willing to sacrifice his life for him. It would be unjustifiable to be stingy after drinking some wine.
Shaking his head, Li Ke also picked up the wine glass, preparing to taste Moutai, which he would not be willing to drink in future generations.
Suddenly a hand appeared and snatched his wine glass away.
Li Ke was dumbfounded. He watched the other party finish the drink with a look of pain on his face.
"How did you come?"
After stopping Huo Qubing who wanted to take action, Li Ke unexpectedly said.
The person who came was none other than the girl who had been drinking and talking poetry with him in the harem that day.
"Cough cough cough..."
The girl's face turned red from suppressing the pain, and she almost coughed out her lungs.
Women in this era are not good at drinking, let alone Maotai, which is over 50 degrees.
"...Good wine!"
The girl did not answer his question, but praised the quality of the wine.
Hearing his words, Li Ke couldn't help rolling his eyes.
People in this era only understand alcohol by its alcohol content.
The higher the alcohol content, the better the quality of the wine.
If you give them some industrial alcohol, I guess even if they know they will drink it to death, a large number of people will flock to it.
