Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Yuchi Baoqi always likes to make friends, when he sees a new kid coming, and he looks good, he likes it even more, he is the first one to greet Cui Qingji.Di Renjie followed.

After Cui Qingji met the two of them politely, he went to greet Fang Yi directly. Apart from ordinary greetings, he sighed "I have been admired for a long time".

"The Cui clan of Boling has been famous throughout the ages, and this is the true 'name'. I am just making a fool of you by taking on the name in vain." After being polite, Fang Yizhi and Cui Qingji invited him to sit down.

Cui Qingji slightly suppressed the smile in his eyes, and then he took a serious look at Fang Yizhi.The demeanor is tall and clear, the heart is open-minded and restrained, and he will be as good as a star, which is really extraordinary.In the past, when he only heard about his name but didn't see anyone, he didn't feel much about it.After all, nine out of ten rumors are exaggerated and sensationalized, which is not credible.Because of this, Cui Qingji didn't worry about it, and now that he really saw Fang Yizhi himself, he knew he had to believe it.

Cui Qingji then sat down, asked politely which books he needed to read, and started flipping through them carefully.But after a few glances, Cui Qingji took a piece of rice paper, dipped his pen in ink, and began to write his name on the rice paper.

"Location." Cui Qingji sighed softly.

Wei Shuyu glanced at him, then frowned, and took out the paper to write.Fang Yizhi has been quickly flipping through the book in his hand, without any intention of writing.

Seeing this, Yuchi Baoqi couldn't help being curious, and leaned over to have a look.Cui Qingji felt that Yuchi Baoqi was looking at him, so he turned his head and smiled at him.Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly asked him how he figured out the name from the content of the annotation.If it were Wei Shuyu and Fang Yizhi, they must be too busy looking for names at the moment to explain to themselves.Cui Qingji didn't know him well, so he always had to be polite, so asking him would definitely give him an answer.

Cui Qingji turned to the next page and motioned for Yuchi Baoqi to read, "Actually, the key lies not in the content, but in the position of his annotation. For example, a word in the third line of annotation is the first word of this line, and the annotation here It is the seventh in this line. There is only one name on a page. Brother Baoqi can try to look through other books to see if there are no more than three annotations on each page of each book. Because The names of our Han people usually have at most three characters."

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly realized, and hurriedly flipped through the books that he hadn't had time to read. Sure enough, as Cui Qingji said, there were no annotations on some pages, and there were only annotations. There were either two places or three places. There is one more place.

"It's so good, it really is." Yuchi Baoqi was amazed.

Changsun Wuji nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Li Mingda, and asked her triumphantly in a low voice, "Is the person I brought you very smart?"

Li Mingda looked sideways at Fang Yizhi, who had already seen the third book, and whispered back to Changsun Wuji: "I said I need someone. I'm afraid uncle is shooting someone's horse,"

"Hey... you girl, you don't know good from bad." Changsun Wuji gave Li Mingda a stare, but it was not his usual "sinister" stare, but a kind of reproach with indulgence.Now it is Princess Jinyang who dares to speak so 'disrespectfully' to him.

"Go out and talk."

Li Mingda walked out of the courtroom of Dali Temple first, followed by Changsun Wuji.

Seeing this, Yuchi Baoqi was about to follow the princess, but was pulled back by Di Renjie.

"Be smart, just look at someone and you have something to discuss." Di Renjie reminded in a low voice.

Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a moment, then she became honest and continued to sit beside Di Renjie.

At this time, Fang Yizhi put down the book in his hand, looked sideways slightly, and glanced in the direction where Li Mingda and Changsun Wuji left.

Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly went to Fang Yizhi's side, thinking that he was too focused just now and didn't pay attention to Cui Qingji's words, because he saw that he didn't write the list, and was about to explain to him the mystery of the annotations, but Fang Yizhi stretched out his hand He took three sheets of rice paper from the center of the table.Immediately, he took a pen and some ink, wrote five names continuously on the paper, and continued to write with ink again. After a short time, the whole rice paper was covered with neat and beautiful characters, and then the second, third, and so on. open.

Yuchi Baoqi stood blankly behind Fang Yizhi, with his mouth half open, at this moment he really wanted to hit himself hard on the head twice.He was really ignorant before, thinking that Fang Yizhi hadn't understood the annotations in the book.Seeing that there were already five books in front of him, he actually wrote down the names after reading them, and wrote them out smoothly the last time.This speed is faster.

Di Renjie also found out at this moment, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.Although he has been learning from Fang Yizhi, but he is afraid that he will never be able to learn the ability of Fang Yizhi's excellent memory.

"How could it be so powerful?" Yuchi Baoqi sighed with jealousy, and sat back beside Di Renjie.

At this time, Cui Qingji turned to look at Fang Yizhi, and asked Fang Yizhi if he had a photographic memory.Fang Yi denied it all the time, saying only that he had a "better memory".

Yuchi Baoqi couldn't help muttering: "Every time I hear him say this, I can't help but want to beat him up."

Di Renjie laughed softly.

"Look at how bad he is. He already knew the secret of the annotation and didn't tell Shuyu." Yuchi Baoqi whispered to Di Renjie again.

Di Renjie: "With Shuyu's temperament, I feel that Brother Yi's move is specially for him." Wei Shuyu is proud and smart, giving him a chance to think for himself is the respect for him.

Yuchi Baoqi is proud of being able to make such a powerful friend as Fang Yizhi.At the moment, Xiaosheng and Di Renjie sighed, Fang Yizhi really deserves to be his most admired friend, he is really outstanding, it gives him a face.

……

The side hall of Dali Temple.

As soon as Li Mingda sat down, he heard Changsun Wuji chattering to him about how talented Cui Qingji was, what poems he wrote, and what articles he wrote.

Li Mingda covered his mouth and yawned.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji stared at her in a daze: "What kind of attitude is this? It's so easy to meet uncle and treat me like this? It really made uncle sad."

Li Mingda held the teacup again, bowed his head and blew tea.

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and stood up: "If you don't talk anymore, girl, I will sue you, Aye, and say that you and I ridiculed me for flattering. You know who the 'flattering' refers to."

"Uncle wants to sue?" Li Mingda asked.

"Yes, I will sue you and tell you to walk around if you can't eat."

"It's hard for me to carry so many things with my small body. In the end, don't I have to ask my dear uncle for help?"

Li Mingda implied that if something happened to her, she would also take Changsun Wuji to 'share trouble' together.

Changsun Wuji was immediately amused by Li Mingda, and he followed Li Mingda's set.

"I'm not going to hide it from you, you, Aye, somehow fell in love with Cui Qingji, and wanted to match the two of you. Seeing that you are going to handle the case today, it's just an opportunity for me to bring him here to show you After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he twirled his beard with a smile, and there was fresh excitement in his eyes, "This is my first time as a matchmaker, and it's quite interesting."

"Uncle is messing around too." Li Mingda sighed.

"You girl is becoming more and more indifferent, what nonsense. That Cui Qingji is the most complete person I have ever seen among the children of aristocratic families in terms of talent, appearance, virtue and conduct. Ah, there is one more thing, a good family background, a decent and famous family. Although Uncle does not want to admit that the Changsun family is not as good as the Cui family, but it is true that my Changsun family is comparable to the Cui family now, but it can be said that there is no other family deep." Changsun Wuji paused, "If we don't care about other things, Just talking about this and choosing the best man in the world for you, the Cui family is considering it, it’s understandable.”

"Oh." After Li Mingda agreed, he took a sip of tea.

"What is 'oh'?" Changsun Wuji asked helplessly.

"It means I know." Li Mingda smiled at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji: "Oh."

Li Mingda: "I heard that my father and Cui Qingji's grandfather made a promise back then, does uncle know?"

Changsun Wuji nodded, "There is another reason. Of course, you, Aye, will not just marry you just because of this. I still think Liulang of the Cui family is good, so I want to choose him as my son-in-law."

Li Mingda didn't speak.In fact, she has always disliked Li Shimin arranging these things for her, and every time she was serious about getting into a case, she just made something out of it. The Yuchi family, the Wei family, and the Xiao family were enough before, and now they come again Cui family.But the elder's arrangement was well intentioned, and Li Mingda knew this in his heart, so he never raised any objections.Of course, she had some idea of ​​the arrangements for Li Shimin in her heart before, she knew that Li Shimin was very strict and picky, and she couldn't decide on a candidate for a while.

But this time was different. Li Mingda vaguely felt that her father was going to be serious this time.Then she couldn't keep the silent attitude before and let the matter develop.

Changsun Wuji knew a little bit about his niece's temperament, and he could tell from the way she spoke to him, she didn't really want to see him like this.But because the marriage was arranged by the elders, it was not easy for her daughter to speak directly, so she kept silent and didn't say much.

Changsun Wuji looked outside, then looked at Tian Hanshan next to Li Mingda, and said to her: "There are no outsiders, so you can tell uncle, do you have anyone you like?"

Li Mingda frowned, looked up at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "I'll see if I can help you as appropriate, so I'll explain it quickly."

"No." Li Mingda said.

Changsun Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, and then patted his thigh in confusion, "Then why do you look down on Cui Qingji, so resistant!"

"I don't like anyone, who told me that I am the most favored princess, I am so proud." Li Mingda said 'righteously'.

"You girl, even if it's the truth, you can't say it like that. Why does it sound so weird!" Changsun Wuji twirled his beard, then frowned and looked at Li Mingda secretly, with a lot of inquiring meaning.

Li Mingda blinked indifferently, then continued to drink tea.

Changsun Wuji tried again and asked Li Mingda: "You really don't like it?"

"En." Li Mingda said.

"Then if you don't like Cui Qingji, you can only have two choices in the future." Changsun Wuji immediately sat up straight with a look of understanding.

Li Mingda asked Changsun Wuji to explain which two kinds.

"The first type is Fang Yizhi; the second type is Wei Shuyu." Changsun Wuji concluded simply and clearly.

Li Mingda looked at her.

Changsun Wuji looked at her with a smile, "How about it, did your uncle figure it out?"

"The third type is myself." Li Mingda said in a calm tone.

"You yourself?" Changsun Wuji shook his head, "It's impossible."

"If you push me any longer, I'll go out and recite scriptures for my grandfather." Li Mingda got up and said ruthlessly to his eldest grandson Wuji, "Uncle is easy to leave, so I won't send you my son. As for the helper you sent, si Thank you, son. But if it’s anything else, I don’t want it.”

"Just bully me!" Changsun Wuji sighed.

Li Mingda smiled and discussed with Changsun Wuji, "Good uncle, I know that your lord has a lot of people, and you won't be as knowledgeable as a little girl like Sizi. Besides, when uncle was being trained in front of Aye, Sizi was a helper." Uncle has begged for love several times. This time it's Si's turn, you know that, Si knows that Uncle is not an ungrateful person."

Changsun Wuji was taken aback, he didn't really know what to do.However, what Li Mingda said clearly meant for him to know.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Mingda who was acting like a baby with him, and frowned helplessly.He knew in his heart that this girl must have seen that he was ordered by the Holy Spirit to find out the news.After all, this kid is smarter and more thorough than others.

Changsun Wuji sighed, and patted Li Mingda on the head, "That's all, it's up to you. I can say a few nice words to your father, and put the matter on hold for a while. But son, you have to know, no Which royal daughter does not get married, sooner or later you still have to listen to your Aye's arrangement. Or find someone you like as soon as possible, tell uncle, and let uncle help you to beg."

Li Mingda hurriedly saluted and thanked him, and then sent Changsun Wuji away with a smile.When Changsun Wuji turned to talk to Dali Siqing, Li Mingda stopped the smile on his face and stayed alone in the side hall.

Your lord Tian Han Shurong was quiet for a while, and then saw that her face was still a little dull, so she asked tentatively.

"According to Uncle Guo just now, does the saint really want to settle your lord's marriage?"

"Even you can hear it, so it must be true." Li Mingda's indifferent face collapsed in an instant, his arms lay on the table, and he sighed long, "The days in the palace are not long."

Tian Hanshan: "Actually, it is good for me to look at Cui Qingji, and your lord can also investigate and see. If it suits you, it will come to fruition. If it doesn't suit you, let's tell the sage clearly. The sage loves your lord so much, and he will definitely obey your lord." Lord's."

"You're wrong." Li Mingda gave him a stern look, "He insists on me when it comes to trivial things, because those things are not important. But for an emperor, once he has an idea in his mind, he will definitely hate it when others refuse it." .This kind of major life event, if I take my own initiative to disobey, not only will I not get the result I want, but I will also be disgusted. The so-called proper handling of things is what I mean. Don't count on it."

Tian Hanshan nodded, in fact, he understood the truth.But he always thought that your lord is the most special among saints, so he didn't think so.However, counting down the ancient and modern emperors, the emperors like to say what they say, and no one wants to be rejected by their own face, especially from their own daughters.

"It's just that I'm not thinking too much. Then, your lord, we have to find a way quickly. If we don't wait for the sage's golden words to come out, nothing will be changed." Tian Hanshan was in a hurry, thinking about what else to do.

"It's not so urgent that it will be decided tomorrow. You don't have to." Li Mingda smiled lightly, then sighed, "Let's solve the case first, and then find out about Cui Qingji's fault."

Tian Hanshu was taken aback, he watched the revived noble master hurried out, thinking in his mind: Looking for something wrong?Your lord has already decided not to do it before he has investigated it clearly. Could it be that your lord really likes Fang Shizi?

Tian Hanxi didn't have time to think about it, when he heard your lord calling him, he hurriedly agreed to follow.

At present, the torture testimonies of Li Daliang's entourage have been sorted out and handed over to Li Mingda. Li Mingda took a look at it and walked in with the testimonials.

Seeing this, Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly got up, and sighed with a smile: "It's a coincidence, the list has just been sorted out, and I am going to notify your lord."

Li Mingda smiled. Of course it was a coincidence. She only came here when she heard that the processing here was over.But besides her, only Fang Yizhi knew about it.

Li Mingda immediately looked at Fang Yizhi, and Yuchi Baoqi's admiration came to his ears again.Yuchi Baoqi praised his good brother Fang Yizhi without hesitation for how he summed up the list quickly, with a photographic memory, which is simply amazing.

Cui Qingji also smiled at this time: "It's really amazing, Qingji admires it."

"Me too." Wei Shuyu immediately cast admiring gazes at Fang Yi, and then whispered to him, "I don't know if Brother Yi Zhi has any skills in good memory, can you teach me someday?"

Fang Yi nodded in response.

Yuchi Baoqi scratched her head and said, "I asked, but I still can't do it. I think this head may be born, I'm just not as good as others."

"It's true, just like learning martial arts, your Yuchi family has good bones and good talent for practicing martial arts, but others are not." Cui Qingji agreed, and smiled at Yuchi Baoqi, "Everyone has their own strengths."

Fang Yizhi's face remained unchanged, but the light and shadow overlapped in his eyes, and the depth of the deep black deepened the coldness.

"Really?" Yuchi Baoqi patted his forehead, "That's a pity, I didn't learn martial arts from my ancestors."

"Let's talk about the case." Fang Yi said straight.

Cui Qingji looked sideways at Fang Yizhi.

"Yes, yes, let's talk about the case." Di Renjie glanced at Fang Yizhi and then at Cui Qingji, always feeling that the atmosphere was a bit delicate, so he quickly agreed.

"The list has been sorted out, and I'm presenting it now." Yuchi Baoqi held it in both hands and sent it to Li Mingda.

"Is there the person I mentioned earlier this time?" Li Mingda didn't take it over to look at it, but asked Yuchi Baoqi to pass it to Fang Yizhi.This is Dali Temple, the official who presided over the trial of Li Daliang was him, not her, and she no longer wanted to 'occupy the magpie's nest'.

Neither Wei Shuyu nor Cui Qingji, who compiled the list, could understand Li Mingda's words, because they had not participated in the trial of Li Daliang before.

Fang Yi said straightly: "Yes, it should be complete. But the implications are so extensive, this list should still be handed over to the sage for decision."

"Then when I enter the palace later, I will bring it back with me. Don't worry, I will not let everyone's credit be lost." Li Mingda said as he took his seat next to him.

At the moment Li Daliang was taken to court again, his mood had calmed down a lot.Facing so many evidences, he has nothing to refute, so he can only sneer and sigh at himself, losing everything, feeling ashamed and humiliated.

Yuchi Baoqi couldn't help boasting: "You won't lose if you lose to us."

Li Daliang obviously didn't agree with Yuchi Baoqi's words, so he turned his head and gave him a look, but didn't say anything more.

Fang Yizhi questioned Li Daliang about the current list.

Li Daliang immediately confessed that the mutual help outside Chang'an City has not been completely controlled by his subordinates, but it is true to use the information and contacts obtained from mutual help.As for the fact that Consort Pei of Anzhou teamed up with Qingniang and her stepbrother to steal the silver mine, he only knew about it after the fact and did not participate in it.

"As for Jinzhou, it is indeed the place where mutual help originated, but later, most of them were transferred to the capital, and now there are still some capable people there. The specific reasons for everyone are listed on the list. I don't think I need to list them one by one. Let me introduce it." Li Daliang sneered, looked at Fang Yizhi, then glanced at Li Mingda, "You guys are really good at finding out all the lists in such a short time. If I lose, it's considered a loss." I am convinced. As Fang Shizi said before, I am not ready enough."

"I'm curious about a little thing. The property is hidden under the water. What's the point when you help each other? There is also a Taoist woman, who is it?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Daliang lowered his eyes, "She is dead. The so-called Daoist woman of your lord was originally my nanny, a wizard arranged by my biological father to protect me by my side. She predicted my fate and said that if I become a big event, I will die." You need to hide money underwater to avoid the turmoil on the water. When Mutual Help was first established, she acted as a gang wizard and pretended to be a Daoist woman, and raised a lot of money for Mutual Help. At the beginning of the difficult time, she helped I have many. Shi Hongyu was taught by her to prepare to inherit her, but it is a pity that after only one year of teaching her, the nanny died of illness. Otherwise, what you see today is probably not Li Daliang, the servant of the Ministry of punishment."

It turned out that this Taoist woman taught Shi Hongyu.Thinking about Shi Hongyu's difficult appearance, she has only taught her for a year, but as Li Daliang said, if this Taoist woman is still alive, I'm afraid it will be a huge disaster.

"Fortunately, God has good eyesight, so this kind of beast died early." Yuchi Baoqi sighed.

Out of caution, Fang Yizhi asked Li Daliang about the Taoist woman's Chinese name and where she was buried.Go back and ask someone to check it again to confirm that it is correct.

"The case is closed, why do you still want to murder the princess?" Fang Yizhi asked again.

Di Renjie responded and also expressed his puzzlement. He has been unable to figure this out.

"It's been two months since the incident, and you also took the order to go to Dingzhou, so that you can temporarily stay away from Chang'an City and protect yourself. But when you finally left, you dared to make a rebellious decision to murder the princess. Why is this?"

"Before, your lord was in the way and had to get rid of it. As long as your lord is gone, all the people involved in the case will be punished under the sage's wrath, and the case will naturally be unclear. It will stop there. But I didn't expect that I Sacrificing the best general under his command, he made your lord hide away. This time, the opportunity given by your lord is too tempting. There was an accident on the way of the 'private meeting', because it was a private affair, and those who knew Many, I don’t know why, and I set up traps at the scene and no one can catch them. What a great opportunity. I have worked hard for more than ten years, and the mutual help I developed secretly was destroyed by your lord and Mr. Fang in an instant. Once, how can I be reconciled." Li Daliang said this, with an angry smile on his face, staring at Li Mingda with naked eyes, "I have long hated your lord and gritted my teeth. In order to pretend to be a real punishment department The servant's appearance, I almost drove myself crazy!"

"You want to kill people, but it won't work, and you will be driven mad by others." Fang Yi sneered and sighed, "A person who thinks like this still wants to restore the country, is it in a dream?"

Li Daliang was immediately stimulated by Fang Yizhi's taunting words, his veins burst out, and his face flushed.The matter of restoring the country is the most untouchable weakness in his heart.

Li Daliang wanted to refute Fang Yizhi, but before he could open his mouth, Fang Yizhi sneered again.

"If you find excuses to quibble, it's just a joke."

"Ah—" Li Daliang was so choked that he couldn't speak, he yelled crazily and kept yelling.Immediately, a yamen servant stuffed his mouth with straw, Fang Yi asked Li Mingda directly what he meant, and felt that there was nothing to ask so far, so he waved his hand and sent someone to detain Li Daliang.

All that was left was to write an excerpt to report the case and make it clear to the sage, after which Li Daliang was executed and beheaded.As for the new list members, Li Mingda has already presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin sighed when he saw the names of the newly added personnel in "Mutual Help", he did not expect so many people outside Beijing to be involved in the case.Among them, there are many important local officials such as the governor of the governor, as well as the royal relatives. Even the royal relatives who are a little farther away still bear the surname "Li", which is an embarrassment to the royal family.

"This case can only be handled by your uncle. The people involved are messy, and only he can handle it." Li Shimin sighed.

Li Mingda didn't express his opinion, but nodded in agreement with Li Shimin, and then bowed politely and left.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Just leave like that? You are quiet today. In the past, it was so easy to come to my place, and you always have to accompany me. What, but what did Aye do to make you unhappy?"

Li Mingda: "Sir, I just feel a little tired."

Li Shimin immediately felt distressed when he heard the words, and hurriedly agreed to send her away, "Then go and rest."

After seeing her leave, Li Shimin summoned his eldest grandson Wuji.

As soon as Changsun Wuji entered the door, Li Shimin did not explain the follow-up matters of the 'mutual help' case first, but opened his mouth to ask Changsun Wuji about Cui Qingji's introduction today.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Everything is going well. It just so happens that they need someone who can speak Tubo. Qingji will have something to do there, which is very popular."

"What about Si?" Li Shimin only cared about this.

"This..." Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, then saluted and told Li Shimin that the princess was devoted to investigating the case, but after receiving Cui Qingji's salute, she didn't say much, nor did she look at him more.

"That's how it is," Li Shimin frowned. "My daughter must be looked down upon by ordinary people. Although this Cui Qingji is not ordinary, but he should be given some opportunities to show off his 'uncommon', so that his talent can be seen. My son found out. After all, my son is not superficial when looking at people, not just looking at the appearance of the family background, talent, temperament and inner being are the most important."

"The sage is very right." Changsun Wuji agreed, and then asked tentatively, "Why is the sage suddenly so interested in Cui Qingji?"

"Don't you think this kid is very likable?" Li Shimin laughed, then patted his leg with a very satisfied expression, "I took the school exam yesterday and he was an hour younger. You have to choose. He also has many unique insights on the way of governing the country, which is refreshing."

"It's rare for a sage to have such high praise for a junior." Changsun Wuji sighed, "I remember the last time the sage praised these juniors in front of the minister, he still said Fang Yizhi."

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard Fang Yizhi mentioned, and then said: "This kid is not bad, but he has a bit of a temper and a little bit of arrogance, not as humble and gentle as his father."

"I have heard some comments that although he has a cold temper, he is a gentle gentleman who knows how to deal with things, so he is very popular among his children. The children of Chen's family get along very well with him. "Changsun Wuji commented.

Li Shimin sighed "Really" without much interest, and then happily asked Changsun Wuji to talk more about Cui Qingji's performance today, and don't miss the details.

Changsun Wuji told Li Shimin one by one what he learned after he came back from Dali Temple Minister, not forgetting to mention that Fang Yizhi not only knows Tubo, but also has the ability of photographic memory.

"Let's talk about Qingji." Li Shimin emphasized.

After Changsun Wuji heard this, he obeyed his orders and continued until he had nothing to say.

"Didn't you test Sizi?" Li Shimin asked after hearing the last word, and suddenly looked at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji hesitated for a while, and then said simply: "Sage Mingjian, I really couldn't hold back, and asked Sizi what he thought."

"How to say?" Li Shimin hurriedly asked with interest.

"Sizi said 'oh'." Changsun Wuji said truthfully.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Li Shimin was puzzled.

Changsun Wuji: "It means 'I know'."

"Know it." Li Shimin sighed meaningfully, then narrowed his eyes, "Didn't you ask carefully?"

"No, I see that the princess is only concerned with the case. It would be inappropriate for me to mutter something about marriage between men and women at this time." Changsun Wuji deliberately showed a embarrassed expression.

Li Shimin also knew Changsun Wuji's rough temperament, so he didn't make things difficult for him, and then he rubbed his chin, "It's the end of the year, and it's time for Qingque to come back. It's better for him. He is considerate and thoughtful, and he is a son again." My dear brother, it’s easy to handle and talk. That’s all, I don’t count on you.”

Changsun Wuji apologized quickly, and said clumsily that he was indeed not good at pulling the red line, and he was relieved that he could get rid of this matter.After all, judging by Sizi's attitude, it's better for him not to get involved in this marriage.

But when Li Shimin talked about Qingque, Changsun Wuji inevitably thought of the prince Li Chengqian, so Changsun Wuji tentatively asked Li Shimin's attitude towards the prince.

Li Shimin frowned suddenly, his good mood was gone. "Well, why bother to mention him, this year's New Year's Eve, don't ask him to stay in the palace. If he makes a mistake, he can still enjoy the blessings. I'm afraid he won't have a long memory. Find an excuse to let him go out, so that he can reflect on himself."

Changsun Wuji immediately mentioned that there was an altar set up by the crown prince for Empress Changsun in Plum Blossom Temple outside the city, "It's almost finished now."

"That's just right. Let him go to Plum Blossom Nunnery to pay homage to his dead mother and show his filial piety."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he asked people to make a memorial and pass on the decree.Li Shimin also specifically asked that Empress Changsun didn't like extravagance the most during her lifetime, and the prince's departure should not delay others' prayers and offerings of incense.After all, after this year, the people of Chang'an City and many nobles also have the habit of offering incense to plum blossoms.

"Just find a small place for him to stay. It's better to be poor."

Changsun Wuji agreed, and then resigned.

After Li Mingda heard the footsteps of Changsun Wuji leaving, he drank the goat milk in the bowl, rinsed his mouth, wiped his mouth and lay down on the couch.

Li Mingda couldn't figure out why her father's attitude changed so quickly.Logically speaking, if she married into the Cui family, it would be equivalent to adding another color to the Cui family.Before, my father was still afraid of the status of the Boling Cui family, so why did he turn around and send her to the Cui family so happily.

Tian Hanxi heaved a sigh of relief happily, "This case is finally over completely and cleanly. Your lord can rest in peace and have a good year. You don't need to worry about those things every day."

"That's right, it's the end of the year, and the palace is still decorated with lights and festivities as in previous years." Li Mingda lowered his eyes, thinking of her sister who had just passed away two months ago, "It's a pity that she can no longer have fun with us sisters."

Tian Hanshan immediately understood who the "she" in your lord's words referred to, and his face sank, his eyes turned red, and he felt sad. "Why don't your lord ask for an order to go to a nunnery a few years ago and offer a stick of incense to Princess Changshan?"

Tian Hanshan hoped that his princess could find a way to relieve the princess and relieve her grief.

"It's an idea," Li Mingda suddenly remembered something, and he sat up and said, "Before I asked you to find out who bullied Princess Changshan, and why she was crying when Hui'an happened to meet her twice, did you find out? "

Tian Hanxi knelt down, "I am incompetent. I have been investigating for two months, but I still haven't found out. I also asked the palace people who served Princess Changshan before, and they said that Princess Changshan often cried in private, but they didn't know what it was. The reason. Just say that Princess Changshan likes to think about everything as bad as possible.

"I didn't expect her to be so behind our backs. I never knew that I was her sister in vain." Li Mingda sighed.

Tian Hanshu couldn't help but sigh.

……

Three days later.

Zhongshu Shilang brought his son Cui Qingji to meet him.

Li Shimin sent Li Zhi and Li Mingda to take Cui Qingji to the West Sea.On the way, Li Zhi said he had a stomachache, and he was sorry to leave.

Li Mingda turned to look at Cui Qingji, "Doesn't your stomach hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Cui Qingji smiled, and looked into Li Mingda's eyes, "Qingji knows that your lord wants to leave now, but please listen to Qingji's words before you leave, it's not too late, it's about the cause of Princess Changshan's death. "
