After the court meeting, Li Shimin went directly to the Li Zheng Palace with a gloomy face. Along the way, he thought about who was behind the scenes. Did this incident only target Yang Fan or did it have an ulterior motive?
Unexpectedly, today all the ministers in the court would rise up to force the palace. If Wei Zheng hadn't reacted and cooperated, asking him to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, these people would definitely continue to make trouble.
Although a retrial will not affect the outcome, it involves his face and prestige as the emperor.
But the thought of Wei Zheng made Li Shimin very angry.
Since the old troll knows that he is being used as a gunman, he should cooperate well with the acting. Why do he sound like a foolish king and a subjugated king? This is obviously an opportunity to vent his anger in public and private revenge.
Although it was to save him, it was too much. Humph, now that you old troll is thrown into the sky prison, I will let you stay in there for a few more days to relieve your depression.
Seeing Li Shimin who came to the Li Zheng Hall in a depressed mood, Changsun Wugou knew that he must have been angry at the court meeting. He smiled slightly and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Second brother, who made you so angry again? "
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "Who else? They are all a bunch of ignorant old guys; well, there is also that old man Wei Zheng. In the court today, he actually dared to call me a fool and a king who has subjugated his country."
After that, Li Shimin told Changsun Wugou in detail what happened in the court today and his views on sending the envoy to the Tang Dynasty.
"Mr. Guanyin, do you think these ministers are too hateful and ignorant?"
After listening, Changsun Wugou scolded the officials who were making noises, while praising him from the bottom of his heart. The analysis made sense.
Of course, Li Shimin was very happy to be praised by his woman and felt full of accomplishment, but he was embarrassed to take all the credit on himself, so he said:
"Actually, this is also due to Wannian County Bo Yang Fan. After his advice, I also know the main purpose of sending the Tang Dynasty envoy here. Although this stick is a bit greedy and lustful, he is really talented."
This surprised Changsun Wugu. He didn't expect Yang Fan to come up with it again, but when he heard Li Shimin say that he was greedy for money and lust, his face felt a little hot.
Then he said to Li Shimin: "I would like to congratulate my second brother first. Only when the Tang Dynasty is led by a famous king can geniuses be sent from heaven. Wannian County Bo is so talented. Doesn't it show that my second brother is a famous king?"
Li Shimin looked very happy after being praised. He stroked his beard and smiled happily: "Guanyin Maid is right. By the way, your body has almost recovered. Wannian County Uncle saved Guanyin Monument's life. We have to go and thank him." Give him a try."
Hearing Li Shimin mention this matter again, Changsun Wugou couldn't help but sneered, and sighed secretly: "Go and thank him? Are you thanking him for looking at your butt?"
But of course she wouldn't say it out loud. The reason why she kept saying that her body had not recovered was because she was afraid of being embarrassed. She smiled and quickly changed the subject.
"Second brother, I heard that most of the Holy Lord's famous kings have capable ministers, and the fatuous kings have treacherous ministers. Nowadays, there are very few remonstrating ministers like Wei Zheng who are not afraid of death, dare to speak out, and understand what my second brother is thinking. Now he is imprisoned in the sky prison, what is the second brother going to do with him?"
Hearing Changsun Wugou's words, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "Guanyin maid, I know you want to plead for the old man Wei Zheng, but this guy is really hateful. It's obviously an opportunity to avenge a public vendetta and take the opportunity to vent his anger. I won't do anything to him. , but we must lock him up for a few more days.”
But soon he became more interested. No one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty could see through the purpose of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty. However, Yang Fan analyzed it in an orderly and logical manner, which was simply a crushing IQ.
This stick's vision is very far-reaching, but I don't know how to use it for my own use.
This kind of people can overcome obstacles for themselves if they use it well, but if they don't use it well, they can easily hurt themselves, which made Li Shimin extremely tangled for a while.
…
Yangjiaping near Baishui Village is part of the branch of the Qinling Mountains. It is surrounded by undulating mountain ridges on both sides. A small stream flows through the valley in the middle. The mountains are undulating and the rocks are towering.
From a modern perspective, it looks picturesque, but now in the Tang Dynasty, sparsely populated and barren mountains and rivers have become synonymous with this place.
In the past, except for hunters who made a living by hunting, no one would come here all year round.
This is also the reason why Li Shimin generously rewarded Yang Fan with 2,000 acres of mountain forest with a wave of his hand.
Later, Yang Fan spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy the surrounding unowned mountains and forests, and now all the land within a few kilometers has become his private property.
He reined in his horse and stood at the entrance of Yangjiaping. At this time, people were coming and going. Some people were carrying wood, and some were flattening the mountain and cracking the ground. It was a lively scene.
While he was looking carefully, Xue Rengui came to Yang Fan and said, "Sir, it's very dusty here. Why don't you take a few steps to the house to wash your face and rest."
Looking at Xue Rengui in front of me, he has matured a lot during this period of training. He has a resolute face, a strong back, and a pair of clear and bright eyes. He is quite powerful. He has begun to show the appearance of a famous general. He is just like the first time he met. Two completely different people.
"Rengui, have all the houses and workshops here been built?"
As the person in charge here, Xue Rengui obviously knows everything. As soon as Yang Fan finished speaking, he immediately replied: "Sir, all the workshops and houses inside have been built."
It's just that the barrier wall at the entrance here will take some time, but once it is built, not a fly can fly in without our permission.
There was a look of pride in his words. After all, he personally directed and participated in the construction of these things. Of course, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Looking into the valley, we can vaguely see rows of wooden houses that have been built, which is very different from the original empty appearance.
A surge of pride arises from the bottom of my heart. This is a new starting point and where my future heritage lies.
If anyone dares to cause trouble for him again, he must let them know what Thunder's Fury is.
When he first came to the Tang Dynasty, as a person living under the red flag, Yang Fan didn't have any big ideals. He just wanted to be a small landowner in peace and contentment. As for three wives and four concubines, well, ahem... you can also have... …
But he never thought that he would be plotted. Remembering that in the early morning, because rumors were flying all over the sky, and the house was full of sadness, Yang Fan immediately decided that his plan must be implemented quickly, so he came to Yangjiaping.
Handing the horse to the servant, Yang Fan and Xue Rengui walked into the valley together. Unlike the steep and narrow entrance of the valley, the valley was flat and open.
Coming to the south of the valley, a three-and-a-half-story house was built against the mountain.
There are two stone lions with big, round bellies standing at the main entrance of the house. With the stone lion as the central axis, there are six entrances on the left, right and back, separated by corridors. The houses are well-proportioned and the pavilions and courtyards are adjacent. It can be said that it is connected in all directions and the house is combined. It is the result of modern architecture and ancient courtyard houses.
With this house as the center, many houses were built in an orderly manner on both sides. A wide bluestone road separated the houses on both sides from the middle. It could not be seen to the end at a glance, and it looked like a small town.
When we came to the main hall of the house, there was nothing in it, only a desk and a few couches, but the floor was polished.
At this time, a burst of noise came from behind. When I looked back, I saw Wu Meiniang, Xing'er and several other little girls walking in together.
Seeing Yang Fan and Xue Rengui, Wu Meiniang walked up to them with gentle steps. She smiled and said: "Mr. Lang, I didn't expect this place to be so big. It's really beautiful."
After speaking, he saluted Xue Rengui and said, "Rengui has worked really hard these past two months..."
Xue Rengui repeatedly waved his hands and said it was not hard. Seeing him looking a little at a loss, Yang Fan chuckled and interjected: "It's fine if Mei Niang likes it. Didn't you say that you spend money indiscriminately some time ago?"
Wu Meiniang glanced at Yang Fan and said angrily: "Mr. Sir..." Her charming look only made the anger in her body rise.
Seeing Yang Fan's eyes full of desire, Wu Meiniang felt happy. She glanced at Xue Rengui, who had a low eyebrow, and Wu Meiniang quickly said softly: "Mr. Sir, please talk first. I'll go and prepare the ceremony and make some tea right away..."
After all, there are outsiders here, and she is really afraid that Yang Fan will do something outrageous. Although the marriage has not been consummated yet, Yang Fan will always have some outrageous ambiguities in the house.
As soon as Wu Meiniang left, Wang Xuance hurried in from outside.
"Sir, you came at the right time today. I have many things I want to report to you..."
