Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

When she saw that the person opposite was Li Shimin, Concubine Yang was stunned for a moment, showing surprise, and then quickly stood up, wanting to salute.

Seeing this, Li Shimin chuckled lightly, supported Concubine Yang's body, and did not let her salute: "My dear concubine, there is no need to be polite. I haven't seen her for many days, and I miss you so much that I came here to visit her."

Concubine Yang sighed in her heart. Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this. Why would you, an emperor, use such words to deceive me?

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs every day, so how can he be bothered by trivial matters in the harem? If you want to be a slave in the future, just ask someone to tell you."

Seeing that Concubine Yang was not moved by his words, but instead looked a little distant, Li Shimin coughed awkwardly: "Actually, I came here today because I have something I want to discuss with my concubine."

"Really? I don't know what your majesty is doing?" Concubine Yang asked calmly, not showing off at all because of Li Shimin's embarrassment.

Li Shimin sighed. Since he ascended the throne, he has basically never been here. It is expected that the other party has a little temper.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and said, "I met Yang Hongyu by chance today. I heard that you had a good relationship in the past. I see that you are also bored staying in the palace on weekdays."

"If he is bored, you can send someone to summon him into the palace to keep him company with you."

Concubine Yang glanced at Li Shimin with a complicated expression.

This man, when his father was still alive, took good care of him in every possible way.

But after his father passed away, he remained indifferent to him. After he ascended the throne, he could not even see him once.

He was also worried that he would have an affair with an old minister of the previous dynasty, and none of the palace maids and guards around him had been specially arranged.

In the past, let alone finding someone to reminisce about old times, even if you mentioned someone inadvertently, that person would be investigated.

Over time, except for her two children, Concubine Yang did not even dare to mention anyone else.

Today Li Shimin came suddenly and mentioned Yang Hongyu, and he suddenly became worried for his niece.

"Your Majesty, Hongyu is young and doesn't know anything. I have never had contact with her since I entered the palace. Please be patient and spare Hongyu."

After saying that, Concubine Yang knelt down.

When Li Shimin saw Concubine Yang like this, he knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly helped her up:

"Concubine Yang, you misunderstood. I don't mean to blame anyone. I just want you two sisters to move around more on weekdays. If possible, you can also go out of the palace to visit one or two."

"Really?" Concubine Yang looked at Li Shimin with some confusion.

Li Shimin nodded, rolled his eyes, and said seriously: "I discovered today that Yang Hongyu's future husband is an extraordinary talent, and I intend to cultivate it vigorously, so I want you to get closer to him."

After finishing his words without blushing and without a beating heart, Li Shimin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she knew that Li Shimin was deceiving her, Concubine Yang did not sense murderous intent in his tone, but instead felt a little wary.

Therefore, Concubine Yang finally put her mind at ease.

This niece of mine is the granddaughter of Chu Gong Yang Su. She had a relationship with her when she was a child, and they had a good relationship.

However, later I heard that the other party followed his master up the mountain to practice martial arts, and then the world was in chaos.

I don’t know when she came back or if she is doing well.

After comforting Concubine Yang, Li Shimin spent the night here directly.

On the other side, after Li Zhen left Cui Mansion, she did not return to Duke Wei's Mansion. Instead, she asked her servants to quickly go to the Yang family granary to hand over the 10 stones of grain, hoping to rescue Chu Mo as soon as possible.

However, after she handed over the food, she wanted to go to rescue Chu Mo, but she found that it was already dark and the curfew drums had already sounded. If she went out now, she would definitely be arrested by the patrolling Wuhou.

After thinking about it, Li Zhen asked Xiong Da to quickly return to Duke Wei's Mansion, ask his father Li Jing for a waist badge, and then come over and lead everyone to Cui Mansion.

After such a delay, when Li Zhen and others arrived at the Cui Mansion with a car, the Cui family members were already working with the imperial army to dispose of the corpses and repair the damaged gate.

After Li Shimin left, the previous heads of the family all pointed their fingers at Cui Zheng, scolded him angrily, and asked him to make up for the losses of each family, as well as the 30 shi of food paid out, before giving up. go home.

It can be said that the Cui family lost both their wife and their troops this time. Not only did they not get the 10 shi of food, but they had to pay out 180 million shi of food and Dabi's pension.

On normal days, these 180 million stones of grain would be nothing to a behemoth like the Cui family.

But what time is it now? The entire city of Chang'an doesn't know if it can collect 180 million shi of food. In just three days, where can he get these 180 million shi of food?

Fortunately, several family heads also knew the situation, so when they left, they asked them to guarantee that if other families got the food, the Cui family would compensate them at the original price they purchased.

After all, no one wants to hang their head on someone else's belt. It would be fine if the Cui family found food, but if not, it would be fine.

Once those three days are over, I don't know if that crazy woman will poke a few big holes in her body like she did to those guards.

When Li Zhen and his party came to Cui's house, they saw the broken door and the blood on the ground. They didn't know what happened, so they all stopped at the door.

Li Junxian, who was ordered to help clean up the mess, saw a group of grain trucks coming outside the door and secretly marveled at the Cui family's efficiency.

Li Zhen on the side saw the other party and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Master Li, I wonder what happened here? Is there anyone alive in the Cui family?"

Li Junxian looked carefully and finally recognized Li Zhen, and said reproachfully: "You girl, you are not at home so late at night, why are you here?"

Li Zhen said embarrassedly: "Master Li, we had some misunderstandings with the Cui family before. The Cui family detained a friend of mine, and I came here to redeem him."

Li Junxian and Li Jing had a good relationship, so Li Zhen didn't hide anything and told the matter directly.

Li Junxian almost burst out laughing after hearing Li Zhen tell her what happened before.

This Cui family is so arrogant, asking for 10 shi of food, not to mention that Li Zhen is Li Jing's daughter.

Even if an ordinary merchant family asks for 10 shi of food at this time, it will push them to a dead end.

No wonder the female devil is so cruel and doesn't leave any way for these people from the aristocratic families to survive.

However, I don’t know if the Qinghe Cui family would dare to accept the 10 shi of food after seeing it.
