Tang's dining table

The next day, when the army marched all the way to Liangshan, the whole army and all the family members knew one thing - Gongsun Changshang, the young minister of Honglu Temple, was killed by Lantian Hou because he had humiliated Lantian Hou Yunchu. .

Some people think that Lantianhou is the commander-in-chief of the army, and Gongsun Changshang is seeking death by humiliating the commander-in-chief.

Some people also think that Lantian Hou Yunchu has become increasingly arrogant and arrogant. His Majesty dared to do such treasonous and unethical things in the army. Let's see how long he can continue to be arrogant.

No matter which view you take, the generals in the army and the ministers traveling with him, regardless of their previous relationship with Yun Chu, are now more afraid.

It seems that Li Ji was right to always use his son-in-law to sacrifice the flag when he went on an expedition.

The closer you get to Liangshan, the road gradually becomes easier. There is this mountain that separates Dongping Lake and Juye Daze. When the sun comes out, standing on the top of Liangshan, you can just see Dongping Lake on the left and Dongping Lake on the right. The huge wild swamp beside it.

The two large lakes are filled with smoke and the water is calm, which is extremely beautiful.

According to the emperor's order, Yunchu's army camped at the foot of Liangshan Mountain.

When Yunchu settled down at the camp and reported to the emperor, he found Li Zhi looking at him with strange eyes.

When Yunchu saw that the ministers had retreated, he said helplessly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Gongsun Changsheng was not killed by the ministers."

Li Zhi sneered and said: "At the beginning, you also said that you didn't blow up the Xianyang Bridge."

Yunchu was speechless.

Li Zhi pretended to be magnanimous and said: "If you kill Gongsun Changshu, you will kill him. If he is rude to you, the coach, for this reason, killing him will not be an injustice."

Yun Chu gritted his teeth and said, "It really wasn't Wei Chen who did it."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "You can admit it or not. I know it. If you don't do it as a good loyal minister and filial son, you have to learn other people's tricks. It's not a loss. Even if you admit it, I won't do anything to you."

Yun Chuchang took a breath and said, "I'm afraid that if your Majesty admits it, it will be terrible if your Majesty turns his back and refuses to recognize me."

Li Zhi took two steps towards Yun Chu, put his hands in his sleeves and pretended to be affectionate, bumped Yun Chu with his shoulder and said with a smile: "That's right, just admit it."

Yun Chu shook his head like a rattle and said, "What did Wei Chen admit?"

Li Zhi rolled his eyes at Yun Chu and said, "Don't admit it?"

Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "Wei Chen didn't do it, why should we admit it?"

Li Zhi took his hands out of his sleeves, looked at Yun Chu with disdain and said: "Now that you have said it, I can help you cover up a few things. If Baiqisi finds out, it will be hard to tell. He is good at killing the imperial court." Your Majesty, this crime is not a small one."

Faced with this familiar rhetoric of leniency for confession and severity for resistance, Yun Chu refused to believe a word of it.

He believed that the emperor had absolutely no intention of punishing him, but as long as he admitted it, the matter would definitely become a shackles placed around his neck by the emperor. God knows when, the emperor would tighten the shackles and make him unable to breathe. .

"Your Majesty, I have always had a question that I would like to ask. I wonder if I can ask it?"

Yunchu didn't want to continue to entangle Gongsun Changshu with the emperor, so he took the initiative and asked the emperor why he brought his army to this remote place in Liangshan.

Li Zhi glanced at Yun Chu and said, "Since you know that asking will make me angry, why do you ask?"

When Yun Chu hit a wall, he had no choice but to clasp his fists and say, "In that case, I will follow His Majesty's lead."

Li Zhi snorted, and Yun Chu retreated.

When he came outside the tent, he saw Li Jingxuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Qiao Shiwang, the Minister of Zhongshushe, and a group of people waiting for him. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your long time."

Qiao Shiwang asked: "Have you ever asked your Majesty?"

Yun Chu said: "I have asked, but Your Majesty asked me not to ask."

Qiao Shiwang rubbed his hands and said, "What should we do? Liangshan is a narrow area with lakes on both sides and mountains on one side. The road is muddy. This is simply a place of death mentioned in military books."

Li Jingxuan said: "This is nothing. With powerful generals like Junhou here, even if the enemy comes, they will only die. The main trouble is that the road is not smooth, and our news will not be clear. No, I will wait." We still need to meet His Majesty. The Tang Dynasty is not only Shandong and Hebei, but also the other eight more vast worlds that need to be managed.

No matter what, I can't stay in Liangshan to rest for ten days. "

Seeing Li Jingxuan, who was devoted to the country, leading a group of officials to the emperor's tent, Yun Chu shook his head and left. Since the emperor had clearly chosen to be the mountain king in Liangshan for ten days, then he would be the mountain king for ten days. Well, in the past, Yun Chu always believed that the world belonged to the people, not the Li family. After years of training in officialdom, Yun Chu began to admit that the Tang Dynasty belonged to the Li family.

People can really do whatever they want!

Li Zhi did not see Li Jingxuan and the others, so Li Jingxuan prepared to bring more officials over to participate in remonstrance matters. In short, he wanted to change the emperor's plan and quickly pass through the bad land of Liangshan.

Yunchu felt that Liangshan was a very good place, a land of plenty and plenty.

The water of the two large lakes on the left and right was originally provided by the Yellow River. Now, after the Yellow River changed its course, the water levels of these two large lakes have been balanced. The land around the large lakes is actually fertile land brought by the Yellow River.

In addition, the climate here is neither cold nor hot, and there are a lot of fish in the water. If it is developed, it will definitely be a land of plenty.

People who share Yunchu's views include Lou Shide, who came over halfway. This person seems to have a passion for land development that ordinary people cannot match.

He came over and told Yun Chu that Xu Jingzong had taken Gongsun Changshang away, and then talked to Yun Chu about the development of Liangshan.

"There are always endless criminals and bastards in this world. Rather than letting these people harm the people elsewhere, it is better to come to Liangshan to develop the land. A person's life is only fifty or sixty years. Where can I live?" How's it going?"

Yunchu pointed to the big lake in the distance and said, "There are many tigers here."

Lou Shide said: "It's a good thing to have more tigers. The farm just has one more way to make a fortune. Nowadays, tiger skins, tiger bones, tiger whips and other things are valuable in Chang'an and Luoyang."

Yunchu said with a smile: "Since Lou Xima has an idea, feel free to go ahead with it. However, a farm is a farm, and we must never dare to turn it into something like a military town. Even if it is a military town in Longxi, in my opinion It is also necessary to transform from military to civilian."

Lou Shide frowned and said: "Only by unifying rights and responsibilities can the effectiveness of work be improved."

Yun Chu sneered and said, "Once it bites back, it will bite accurately and hard."

Lou Shide said: "What if we can hold their lives in check?"

Yun Chu said: "Who will do it? You or me, or the prince?"

Lou Shide said: "The king regards the people of the world as too vicious and dangerous."

Yun Chu said: "You just said that Xu Jingzong captured Gongsun Changshu and put the blame on me. How can you expect me to trust others?

By the way, is Gongsun Changshu dead? "

Lou Shide said: "He is not dead, but he is about to die, but this Gongsun Changshu can be considered a man. He was so tortured by Xu Jingzong that he gritted his teeth and refused to say anything."

Yun Chu asked doubtfully: "What do you want to say?"

Lou Shide looked at Yun Chu and said: "In the third year of Yonghui's reign, Xu Yanbo, the eldest grandson of Xu Jingzong, was killed with stones in the Imperial Academy."

Yun Chu looked at Lou Shide with a strange look for a while and said, "Xu Jingzong hasn't forgotten what happened more than ten years ago?"

Lou Shide said: "Give it to me, I won't forget it. After finally cultivating a useful junior, he was stoned to death for no reason in the Imperial College. How could Xu Jingzong bear it?"

Yun Chu changed the topic back to the original one.

"Tell the prince that it is feasible to establish a farm in Liangshan. However, we must be careful about the military town. Even if the military town is established in the early stage for rapid development, it must be canceled after two years."

Lou Shide stood up and said, "I understand." After saluting, he left and returned to the prince's place.

Yunchu thought about it alone in the military tent for a long time, and then he figured out the whole story of Gongsun Changshu's incident. It was Gongsun Changshu's locust stone that attracted the greatest murderous intention.

Therefore, the rumors outside are not wrong at all. He was the one who killed Gongsun Changshu.

Over the years, Yun Chu's understanding of Xu Jingzong has deepened day by day. This old thief is now in his last generation, when he accumulated more virtues and less grudges. It is obvious that the death of his eldest grandson Xu Yanbo is still a hurdle that he cannot get over.

Judging from the way this old thief does things, if he doesn't do evil things, once he does, he will definitely eradicate the roots before he stops.

In this case, a problem arises. If Yun Chu takes the blame thrown by Xu Jingzong, Gongsun Changshu will be dead. However, his family may be able to live safely with their overwhelming hatred for Yun Chu.

If Yun Chu refuses to take the blame, then Xu Jingzong will be ruthless and eliminate the root cause.

After Yunchu thought for a while, he told Yinggong Li Ji the news that Gongsun Changshu had been captured by Xu Jingzong. He did not want to be surrounded by a family of military generals who hated him.

Li Hong's attitude was very obvious. Although he knew that Xu Yanbo was killed by his master, he still firmly sided with his master Xu Jingzong and decided to help his master seek justice from Gongsun Changshu, who was wrongly accused.

After all, the revenge for killing the grandson must be avenged, otherwise the master Xu Jingzong's thoughts will not be clear.

Therefore, he would not tell Yun Chu personally that Gongsun Changshu was captured by Xu Jingzong. It would be best to tell the master through Lou Shide, a confidant.

Let's just say that the person was captured by Xu Jingzong, not the place of detention. In this way, even if Xu Jingzong killed Gongsun Changshu, it would be just like the story of master Yun Chu killing Gongsun Changshu, which is just a rumor. There is little actual evidence.

Li Hong felt that what he did could not be more fair.

After hearing Yun Chu's words, Li Ji looked at him for a long time, and finally said in a serious tone: "Just because Gongsun Changsheng can fly locust stones, Xu Jingzong thinks that he killed Xu Yanbo?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "That's right."

Li Ji nodded and said, "You are from the Western Regions, don't you know how to send locust stones?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "My skills with the crossbow are pretty good."

Li Ji nodded and said, "I will go and ask Xu Jingzong to bring back Gongsun Changshu's body."

Yun Chu nodded in praise!
