Chapter 140: The fisherman gains profit by fighting against the snipe and clam

In the prison in Taiyuan City, six thick braziers flashed with fire, and the entire prison looked gloomy and terrifying. The clavicle with disheveled hair was penetrated by iron chains and fixed on a thick shelf. The assassin was wearing a mid-lane, with hair loose and bruised, and his face was dirty and messy. His whole body was thin and he had lost his shape, but his eyes were shining and blood was shining inside.

Changsun Wuji was wearing a public uniform, covering his nose, and paced in front of the assassin. The two officials held their breath and stood behind him with their heads down.

The two jailers were holding whips and panting slightly.

Changsun Wuji asked in a long tone: "Ask you again, who instructed you to do it!"

The assassin let out a bloody spit, and smiled hoarsely: "The world of eternal powers, heroes are found in the world, Sun Zhongmou is in the place of dance halls and singing platforms, the romantic flow is always blown away by the rain and wind. The setting sun, grass and trees, ordinary alleys, human beings say that the slaves once lived. I remember back then, the golden swords and iron horses were so angry that they were like tigers..."

The muscles on Changsun Wuji's face twitched slightly. He didn't know this long and short sentence. This was what Chen Ying sang at the East Palace banquet after defeating Liu Wuzhou. Although the assassin did not say who the person instructed behind the scenes was, the answer was self-evident.

I saw Changsun Wuji approaching the assassin's face and sneered, "I'm not afraid of death. Come and tell me who is Sun Zhongmou? Who is Liu Jinu?"

He straightened up, wiped his nose gently with a towel, and his face remained unchanged: "Stop calling!"

——Play

A crisp sound of whips rang out.

An official from the Ministry of Justice stepped forward and said, "Be careful, don't beat him to death. If you beat him to death, you can't afford to be guilty!"

Changsun Wuji left the prison and took a carriage to the Taiyuan General Administration.

In Li Shimin's study, Li Shimin sat in front of the desk, lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood on both sides.

Du Ruhui looked unbelievable and asked, "What did the Assassin really say?"

Changsun Wuji glanced at him and replied lightly: "That's it. Can I still lie about this? It's really true, it can't be fake!"

Du Ruhui shook his sleeves heavily and asked, "Sun Zhongmou, Liu Jinu, are you supposed to ask this?"

Sun Zhongmou Sun Quan was the founding emperor of the Eastern Wu, and Liu Jinu was Liu Yu, and the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. Such people were not ministers. Now Changsun Wuji obviously had an attitude of inducing offerings.

It’s okay to leave it here, but once Princess Pingyang hears the news, it will offend Princess Pingyang to death. In the snow disaster last year, Princess Pingyang helped the poor and saved the poor, and countless living people were affectionately called the Living Bodhisattva by the people of Guanzhong. Li Xiuning has a very good reputation, both in the court and in the people.

In this era, the people will take the blame. Li Xiuning is a good person. Anyone who opposes Li Xiuning must be a bad person. If you don’t say anything else, these people will dare to smash your black bricks, or throw feces at night while there is no one. Kong Yingda, one of the scholars of the Qin Palace, said inadvertently when he was drunk that there were no heroes in the times, so he made the prince famous.

As a result, Kong Yingda in Chang'an couldn't even buy vegetables, and no one was willing to work for Kong Yingda's mansion. Even those who collected night fragrance did not go to Kong Yingda's house to collect night fragrance.

Kong Yingda was intoxicated by night incense at home for more than ten days before she came to the door to kowtow to Li Xiuning to admit her mistake, and the matter came to an end.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Highness, King Qin, I think this assassin should be sent to Chang'an Ministry of Justice or Dali Temple, so that His Highness can watch and go to trial!"

Changsun Wuji suddenly became anxious: "It would be better to ask the prince to investigate Chen Ying, than to ask the East Palace to check the left hand and right hand. It would be strange if it could be found out."

Li Shimin had his eyelids drooped and asked calmly: "If the prince doesn't let the investigation, who will let him go?"

Changsun Wuji immediately said: "Such a big case should naturally be led by Wutai (Censorate) and the three departments will be tried!"

Du Ruhui said quietly: "The six censors, three of them are from the Eastern Palace. If the three officials are asked to conduct a trial, it will be just a formality. How should we check it or how to check it...

Changsun Wuji spread his hands and said, "What's wrong? Chen Dadu is the number one general of the Eastern Palace. How can he let go of such an opportunity?"

Li Shimin slowly spoke, "The emperor is not confused yet!"

Changsun Wuji was stunned.

Du Ruhui lowered his head and said, "Your Highness the King of Qin is saying!"

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was still puzzled, he explained: "What if the assassin is from his own sect?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned and smiled and said, "How is this possible?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "In the eyes of Your Majesty and all the dynasties, this is entirely possible. Since the defeat of Dingxiang of the Eastern Turks, we are attacking, the Eastern Palace is defending, we are advancing, and the Eastern Palace is retreating. In recent days, more than a hundred memorials have been posted on Wutai, forcing Your Majesty to recall the king, and the party struggle has been established. At this time, any rash handling will involve the court. There is no conclusive evidence. If Chen Ying is dismissed and who will replace him, it is the precursor of Your Majesty's easy crown. In this way, the prince of the Eastern Palace, Pei Ju, Chen Ying, Li Yi, Li Shiji, and Li Yuan, who is about to be transferred to Youzhou, will become targets of attack on the court and the public. In such a situation, even Your Majesty himself will not be able to control it."

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath: "So... Your Majesty still wants to protect Chen Ying?"

His tone was filled with indignation.

Du Ruhui let out a deep breath: "The key is not here."

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were stunned.

Tang Haoxin stood up and the two stepped forward to support his arms.

Du Ruhui walked slowly to the outside of the study room, gently twisted his beard, and said, "The key is, who did this case."

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji's faces changed color at the same time.

Changsun Wuji asked in a silence: "Isn't it Chen Ying did?"

Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "You are blinded by the party dispute. Don't think about it. What is the benefit of Chen Ying doing this case for the East Palace? This is because His Highness the King of Qin is safe. Your Majesty still has doubts. If His Highness the King of Qin really died unfortunately, will Your Majesty still be confused? At that time, the anger of thunder will fall on the heads of all the people in the East Palace. The change of the Eastern Palace is indeed the intention of it, and the person who can enter the East Palace will follow..."

Changsun Wuji's face was full of surprise.

Fang Xuanling frowned and pondered, and the divine light flashed in his eyes.

Li Shimin sighed and said, "There are always gains and losses in the world. If you want to gain the position of the Eastern Palace, you have to give up the local authority. If you want local authority, you have to give up the Eastern Palace. If you want the position of the snipe and clam, you have to make a profit."

Li Shimin murmured, and suddenly a sharp light flashed in his head, muttering to himself: "The snipe and clam fight, the fisherman gains profit."

After a pause, Li Shimin looked at everyone and said, "The lone is a snipe, the East Palace is a clam. We fight with the East Palace, and the fisherman will benefit. Who is the fisherman?"

...

"Smack it..."

Firecrackers were crackling, and fires sounded in front of the largest courtyard of Chenjiabao in Qinglin.

Of course, the firecrackers at this time were not actually firecrackers from later generations, but just bamboos filled with some saltpeter, and during the burning process, a sound broke out.

Countless children gathered in front of the gate of the courtyard, tilted their heads and looked at a large piece of red cloth on the plaque of the gate.

As the red cloth was unveiled, eight powerful characters of the Cang Jing were revealed: "Datang University of Technology and Science and Technology".

This is actually a bit too exaggerated to say that it is the University of Science and Technology. It covers only more than 100 acres of yards, occupying three yards in front of Chenjiabao. All the walls are covered with white tiles, and at first glance, the snow-white area is shining with sunlight, making it look bright and dazzling.

Although this courtyard is not tall or majestic, the decoration is very practical. Each classroom is equipped with a fireplace to cause a fire. Even in the coldest days, it is warmer inside, which is even warmer than hiding in the kang.

That's right, it is the first technological university in Wannian County, and of course it is the first technological university in the true sense in the Tang Dynasty.

However, this University of Technology is relatively shabby, and there is not a single famous scholar. Even if the signboard of this plaque was written by Li Xiuning and Yu Shinan, otherwise it would be impossible to find a teacher who could write well.

However, Chen Ying was not worried. Anyway, he did not establish a foundation and founded a truly university comparable to that of the American sub-school.

When Li Yuan heard that Li Xiuning was going to run a university, he was very surprised. In this era, he learned literature and martial arts and sold it to the imperial family.

Li Xiuning wanted to run a school, which naturally attracted Li Yuan's attention. When Yu Yanzhang told Li Yuan the information he found, Li Yuan was stunned at the time: "If you don't teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and don't teach the way of saints, what kind of school is it?"

Li Xiuning also said with striking remarks: "Chen Lang has already said that this university will never teach the Four Books and Five Classics, nor will it talk about the way of saints. The students of this school will learn to know thousands of words, add, subtract, multiplication and division, and then start to learn the courses they are most interested in. Those who like to draw will learn to draw, those who like to sing will learn to sing, and those who like to farm will learn to farm! The teacher I will hire in the future is also elites from all walks of life. I want to use this school to cultivate a large number of elites from all walks of life, rather than a group of nerds who only know how to talk about it!"

Li Yuan couldn't smile bitterly when he heard Li Xiuning's arguments.

However, Li Jiancheng took the most firm support to Li Xiuning. When Li Xiuning's opening ceremony of the Tang Dynasty Industrial Science and Technology Industry, Li Jiancheng also brought a group of subordinates from the East Palace to Chenjiabao to support him.

Since giving birth, Li Xiuning has lost a lot of money. Especially her white clothes like snow, and the quiet and gentle smile on her face, she has lost weight, which is heartbreaking.

At this moment, Wei Ting, beside Li Jiancheng, came in panic, holding a red bamboo tube, and an urgent report was unfolded. Li Jiancheng took a look, his eyebrows were frowned, and he slowly spoke: "Come here!"

Yuchi Gong came over and bowed to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Jiancheng said: "Prepare for the car and go back to the palace immediately!" The officials from the Eastern Palace looked at Li Jiancheng in shock.
