"This time the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped!" Lu Chen put away his smile and looked at Lian Xiude and Peng Zun with a serious face, and the two of them also lowered their heads knowingly. After all, they did not do this properly. It was a disguised plot against their master. Although he had no choice but to take action, if Lu Chen really got angry with them because of this incident, they wouldn't do anything about it.
"As for how to deal with you, let's wait until this matter is over!" Lu Chen looked at the two people's expressions as if they were confessing, and sat down on the main seat again, "Then Li Dejun said he would go tomorrow, right?" Lu Chen looked at Peng Zun asked, bowing his head and saying nothing.
"Yes! That's what Li Dejun said when he left!" Peng Zun answered quickly when Lu Chen asked him.
"Tomorrow..." Lu Chen tapped his fingers on the small table a few times. If it had been earlier, if Peng Zun had encountered this problem, Lu Chen might have really gone to Li Xiuning or Li Daozong for Peng Zun's matter. Come on, after all, Li Yuan gave him a "no-foot order", and he still has to give him the emperor's face, but his "no-foot order" will be lifted tomorrow, so Lu Chen plans to handle this matter personally, but Lu Chen thought about the name "Li Dejun" for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Someone in the Li family's immediate family had this name.
In Lu Chen's memory, the only direct relative of the Li family who was named King of Wu in the early Tang Dynasty was Li Shimin's son Li Ke. But now Li Ke is only three or four years old, and the current title is still the prince of Changsha. How could Li Dejun be so old? My son, it seems he has to read the book.
"Go with me to meet this Li Dejun tomorrow!" But no matter who this "King Wu" is, Lu Chen is ready to get this place back. His men have been bullied, so what can he do?
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he stood up and left the military camp. He went directly back to the study and went into the base to replenish his knowledge of history.
When Lu Chen came out of the base, Lu Chen finally knew who this "King of Wu" was. It turned out to be a king with a different surname like Yan Wang Luo Yi, or Du Fuwei, who was about to burp at the sight of him.
In fact, due to the involvement of Li Zitong, Du Fuwei has been living in seclusion. It is said that he is studying the magic of immortality and longevity at home, and has found a group of Taoist priests to refine elixirs at home. At this time, Du Fuwei's fiefdom has been handed over to the assistant. In the sixth year of Wude, Du Fuwei was poisoned at home and died of poisoning. It is said that he accidentally ate the medicine used to make alchemy. It’s hard to say whether mica poisoning is true or false.
At this stage, Fugong Er should be assisting Zuo Youxian in competing for military power with Du Fuwei's adopted son Wang Xiongdan, nicknamed "Little General", while Kan Leng, nicknamed "Great General", is stationed in Yue. state.
Calculating the time, it’s the "Yuan Zheng Day", which means the Chinese New Year is coming. In August, Fugong Er will join forces with Zuo Youxian to kill Wang Xiongdan to gain military power, and directly start a rebellion. Think about this. Du Fuwei can only live a good life for seven or eight months. In fact, Du Fuwei's life is not too easy now. After all, he has been implicated once by his good friend "Li Zitong", and now he is living a good life all day long. He stayed behind closed doors, just wandering around outside all day as an only child.
Du Fuwei never expected that his trusted deputy Fu Gong'er would immediately stab him in the back and rebel again. This time Fu Gong'er rebelled, not only losing his own life, but also Du Fuwei's life. Although Du Fuwei was obviously the one who followed suit, it was not until Li Shimin came to the throne that he vindicated Du Fuwei.
"It turns out he is Du Fuwei's son!" Lu Chen sat in front of the desk and touched his chin and thought. It is true that Du Fuwei is a man who fights in the war. He does have "talent for being a commander", especially his two righteousnesses. "Big General" Kan Leng and "Little General" Wang Xiongdan are also rare generals. It's a pity that he is good at fighting but not good at recognizing people. It can even be said that Du Fuwei can be said to be invincible on the battlefield. , playing politics in the officialdom, not only him, but also his adopted sons are not that good, otherwise they would not be tricked to death by Fu Gonger.
There is no psychological burden for Lu Chen to deal with Du Fuwei. If Li Dejun is really a direct relative of the Li family, Lu Chen may have to worry about the face of Li Yuan and Li Xiuning. But if it is Du Fuwei and his son, Lu Chen Chen Ke was not so scrupulous.
Regardless of whether Du Fuwei is a king with a different surname, it also depends on who he is dealing with. A king with a different surname is equivalent to being under house arrest. Lu Chen really doesn't care.
Of course, Du Dejun is just domineering in places like Pingkangfang. If he is really thrown into Chang'an City, he may be beaten by those real second sons. If nothing else, just Chai Zhewei and The two brothers, Chai Lingwu, could beat him to the point of running away with his head in his arms.
Now that he has figured out Du Dejun's identity, Lu Chen has a certain understanding. As a time traveler, this is good. He can "know himself and the enemy" in many things, and then he can find ways to deal with the other party.
Lu Chen left the study and returned to his bedroom. Lying on the bed, Lu Chen began to wonder again, what if Du Fuwei didn't die? Lu Chen couldn't help but touch his chin and wonder if if Du Fuwei died, there would be another strong general who could expand the territory. And since his son likes to cause harm to people, he felt that there must be a place that would be suitable for this boy!
When Lu Chen thought of this, he slapped his thighs and sat up. This kid later became a Xiguan because of Fugong Er's involvement. Isn't it a derogation of his talents to raise horses for the imperial court? Send this kid to that country and he will definitely be of great use! The more Lu Chen thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was so wise. He was simply a model of "making the best use of everything"!
However, there are still several years before the "envoys from the Tang Dynasty" are sent to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty does not have a ship that can go to the Japanese country. This is a difficult task. It seems that I have to meet Li Xiaogong when I have time. This King Zhao is now Kui The governor of the state, the governor, can talk to Prince Zhao about shipbuilding and naval training. Can he study shipbuilding?
"Oh, no matter what you want to build now, you need iron! It seems that the small mine found nearby is not enough, so you have to hurry up and get a debt!" When I thought of building a ship, I then thought of all the various things I wanted to build. , Lu Chen couldn't help but lament that there was not enough supplies. Only by getting the steel out could he have an excuse to take out the things from the base.
"Besides, there are not enough craftsmen, so annoying!" When Lu Chen thought about the craftsmen in his current workshop area, as he wanted to open more and more workshops, the number of craftsmen was obviously not enough, and Lu Chen also He started to get irritated, "Looks like I have to ask Samurai Yu for help!"
Lu Chen started to think about it while lying on the bed. As for when he fell asleep, Lu Chen himself didn't know. He just knew that he vaguely heard Si Chen's rooster crow in the village.
Lu Chen dealt with some things in Zhuangzi first, had lunch, rested for a while, and then led the people out of Lujiazhuang. Lu Chen's mount was naturally the "White Fox", and he could only stay in Zhuangzi all day long. The white fox wandering around here had a chance to have fun when he came out. He took Lu Chen and performed a performance called "Yi Qi Jue Chen".
Lujiazhuang is also dozens of miles away from Chang'an City. It was already half the afternoon when he entered Chang'an City. Naturally, Lu Chen couldn't go to the city just for Peng Zun's affairs. He also had to go to Ruyuanfang. I am visiting Li Daozong at the residence of Prince Rencheng.
Although Li Daozong's fiefdom is in Rencheng, and his real palace is also in Rencheng, he naturally has his palace in Chang'an City. Just because the prince is released, he can't not leave a house in Chang'an for him, right? Could it be that if the emperor had something to do, he would call the prince back and let him live in Guanyi or Zongren Mansion?
Lu Chen led a group of more than a dozen people to the Rencheng Palace in Ruyuanfang. Of course, this group of people was quite eye-catching on the road. Except for Peng Zun's face, which was still somewhat scarred, Lu Chen was accompanied by Sixteen Beiwei guards dressed in black Beiwei armor appeared. People in Chang'an City had never seen such armor before, and they all stopped to watch.
Many servants from aristocratic families began to send letters home after seeing this scene, especially the Zheng family, Wang family, Wei family and Xiao family. In fact, when Lu Chen left Lujiazhuang, the members of these four aristocratic families The eyes and ears have already begun to report the news home.
Arriving at Prince Rencheng's Mansion, Lu Chen got off his horse and stopped in front of the gate of Prince Rencheng's Mansion to look up at the plaque with the four characters "Prince Rencheng's Mansion". At this time, some people had already seen Lu Chen and his party. Lu Chen was all dressed up. Dressed in regular clothes, he was not wearing a father-in-law uniform. However, seeing the extraordinary guards Lu Chen brought with him, Yan Ren also knew that the person coming was not of low status, but not just anyone could bring so many armored guards. The sword guards wandered around Chang'an City.
But no matter who he was, since he stopped in front of the Rencheng Prince's Mansion, as a servant of the Prince's Mansion, he had to ask questions, so he came directly in front of Lu Chen and saluted Lu Chen: "My lord, this is the Rencheng Prince's Mansion. , I wonder if you are passing by or are you here to see my prince?" As a man, you also have to look at the dishes. Although they say that the third-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, then who gets the point? The young master in front of him looks gentle. , but the group of soldiers standing behind him looked like they had been on the battlefield. Although he was a man now, he had followed Li Daozong to the battlefield before, but he was old and was left in the capital by Li Daozong. There was a man in the old house.
"Excuse me, please tell me that the Duke of Chang'an County has come to visit His Royal Highness King Rencheng!" Liu Jing, who was standing next to Lu Chen, saluted Yan Ren.
"It turns out it's the Duke of Chang'an County. My prince said that if the Duke of Chang'an County comes, there is no need to report, he can just enter the mansion directly!" When Yan Ren heard that Lu Chen was coming, he bowed directly to Lu Chen and said.
