I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 260 Summoned
"Master, Duke Lu is here to see you," said the housekeeper.

Changsun Wuji frowned, and said: "Tell him not to see him, and then secretly take him to my study from the back door, so that no one will find out, do you understand?"

"Yes!" The butler replied, and hurried to do it.

Not long after, the housekeeper brought Hou De to the study, saluted Changsun Wuji, and then retreated.

Changsun Wuji said with a gloomy face: "Your father asked you to come?"

Hou De saluted respectfully, and said: "Uncle Changsun, my father was wronged. I beg Uncle Changsun to speak kindly to my father in front of His Majesty. The Hou family will be very grateful."

Changsun Wuji said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is very aware of the details. Since he was wronged, your father will naturally be able to go back soon."

Now go to intercede for Hou Junji and tell others that he is involved with Hou Junji.

Didn't you see that even those generals didn't ask for mercy?

Hou De's face changed, and he said: "Uncle Changsun, although my father was wronged, it is inevitable that someone will frame him. Please help Uncle Changsun!"

He doesn't know if he was wronged, but now he also knows Wei Zheng's three major crimes in impeaching his father.

He doesn't know about the others, but Tanmo must be true.

The dozen or so boxes of treasures at home can never be faked.

"The old man is a civil servant, you should go to the military general for intercession." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said.

Hou De certainly heard the evasion in Changsun Wuji's words, remembered his father's explanation, gritted his teeth and said, "My father asked me to bring a sentence to Uncle Changsun."

Changsun Wuji frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Yuwa!" Hou De said every word.

Changsun Wuji's face changed drastically, and he looked at Hou De with murderous eyes.

Hou De could resist Changsun Wuji's aura.

Hou De didn't dare to look at Changsun Wuji's eyes at all.

Changsun Wuji withdrew his gaze, of course he knew what Hou Junji meant.

Hou Junji hints that he himself is tile, and Changsun Wuji is jade.

I want to tell Changsun Wuji that if Changsun Wuji doesn't help, he will have a hard time, and he won't make Changsun Wuji feel better.

Anyway, regardless of status, Changsun Wuji is taller than him.

Changsun Wuji now regrets that he got involved with Hou Junji back then, which gave Hou Junji a reason to threaten him.

"Your father's matter, except for the corruption of ink, there is no evidence for anything else. As long as the other two matters are left out, and only the corruption of ink is involved, your father will not be a big deal." Changsun Wuji said lightly.

Based on his understanding of Li Shimin, if all three things were confirmed, Hou Junji would definitely not survive.

But King Gaochang and Princess Gaochang are both dead. Some people in the army may know, but they can't come up with evidence.

And Li Shimin didn't intend to kill Hou Junji either.

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was willing to help, Hou De was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "I also ask Uncle Changsun for advice!"

"You just need to meet your father and tell him what the old man said, and he will naturally teach you how to do it." Changsun Wuji said.

If Hou Junji didn't clean up his tail, he would naturally tell Hou De to deal with it after hearing this.

Hou De nodded, bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Changsun!"

……

Because of Hou Junji's matter, when Li Shimin went to court the next day, his face was still dark.

The people in the chaotic hall are all good people, so naturally they dare not touch Li Shimin's eyebrows at this time.

Even so, the atmosphere in the courtroom was somewhat dull.

But there is one advantage, that is, the next court is early after all.

This made Lin Xuan very happy, but Lin Xuan was not happy for long.

Just after leaving the hall, Li Mu found him.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingyang County, summoned you!" Li Mu said with a smile.

Lin Xuan bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Please trouble the manager to lead the way."

Following Li Mu, Lin Xuan kept thinking about why Li Shimin wanted him.

Do you want to ask about Hou Junji, or something else?
"Jingyang County Marquis, Your Majesty is inside, you can go in by yourself." Li Mu said.

This is a private meeting.

Lin Xuan nodded and walked in.

Li Mu closed the door and stood guard at the door.

"I see Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan bowed.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Do you know why I came here for you?"

Lin Xuan tentatively asked, "Your Majesty is looking for this minister for the Cui family's affairs?"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, but his face was noncommittal.

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't respond, Lin Xuan said, "Your Majesty, the Cui family once again approached me to discuss paper cooperation. I made a request. As long as they agree, I will agree to cooperate with them."

"What conditions?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.

Lin Xuan told Li Shimin about asking the Cui family to help him sell books.

Li Shimin said angrily: "Where did you get the book from? Let me tell you first, don't build a bookstore. The bookstore prints dictionaries every day, and has no time to print books for you."

Lin Xuan asked in astonishment: "Your Majesty, the dictionary has already started printing?"

Li Shimin glared at Lin Xuan, and said, "I didn't call you here for this."

Lin Xuan said: "Your Majesty taught me that. However, I have a way to solve the problem of the book, so I don't bother Your Majesty. You only need Your Majesty to testify on your behalf."

Li Shimin took a deep look at Lin Xuan, nodded, and said, "Okay!"

"In this case, the minister will leave first!" Lin Xuan said with cupped hands.

"Wait!" Li Shimin stopped Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan smiled wryly to himself, knowing that it was not that easy for Li Shimin to find him.

Cui Yuxiu needs to report to the family, and there is no rush to tell Li Shimin about the Cui family's affairs.

He deliberately told Li Shimin about this, just to play sloppy.

Lin Xuan turned around, cupped his hands and said, "Does Your Majesty have any orders?"

Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Do you know anything about Hou Junji?"

"Your Majesty is talking about the impeachment of Lu Guogong?" Lin Xuan asked.

Li Shimin didn't speak, just stared at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was flustered by Li Shimin's look, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty should know about the quarrel between the minister and Lu Guogong. After I arrived in Gaochang, I have never even entered the city. I don't know what he has done."

It's not that he never thought about using this matter to get rid of Hou Junji.

But in history, Li Shimin did not deal with Hou Junji because of this matter, which means he did not want to kill Hou Junji.

If Li Shimin wants to kill Hou Junji, does it really matter?
It's not cost-effective to not kill Hou Junji this time, because he is exposing himself.

What he wants is a sure hit. Now that he doesn't know Li Shimin's attitude, he doesn't intend to get involved in this matter at all.

"He didn't let you make meritorious deeds, so you didn't complain? Didn't you secretly send people into the city?" Li Shimin asked.

He already knew the matter, and asked Lin Xuan just to know if Lin Xuan really didn't know.

It was impossible for Hou Junji to do everything seamlessly, but after the army returned to the city, no one reported it to him, which made him doubt his control over the army.

A Hou Junji can hide it from him, but what about the others?

Lin Xuan knew that Li Shimin was suspecting that he did not report his knowledge, although it was true, he could not let Li Shimin know.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to do in Gaochang, so I don't have time to pay attention to what's going on in the city." Lin Xuan said.

Li Shimin asked strangely: "You went to fight, what is more important than war?"

"Your Majesty, do you know Bai Diezi?" Lin Xuan asked.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "I seem to have heard of it."

Cotton was also grown in the Imperial Garden before, but there are so many flowers in the Imperial Garden, it is impossible for him to know everything.

When visiting the Imperial Garden, when I was in charge of the Imperial Garden, I introduced it to him.

But because Bai Diezi was not attractive, Li Shimin didn't care much about it at all, so he was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

Lin Xuan said: "Your Majesty, Bai Diezi is a kind of flower introduced from Gaochang to Datang, but because of its lack of ornamental value, Datang planted very few. But there are many Bai Diezi in Gaochang. The fruit of Bai Diezi can be Adding it into the cloth and making it into clothes is extremely effective against the cold. Therefore, I have someone to collect the seeds, and I don’t have time to manage the affairs of the city.”

Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan in shock, and asked, "Is this true?"
