Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 208 The Determination of Prince Qin's Mansion
When he saw the dark red iron ring pressing on the horse's hoof, Qin Qiong couldn't help clenching his fists, thinking about the difference between this and the torture with a branding iron.

"Brother-in-law, there is about this thick layer on the horse's hoof, just like the nails on our hands. It keeps growing and is not afraid of being burned. But if the cut is deep, the horse will definitely feel uncomfortable. These people use donkeys and mules to connect Too many times, be measured."

When Liu Mu was explaining, the nails were already being hammered into place.

Take the horse for a trot. If there is no abnormality in the horse's running posture, it means that the horse is nailed well. If it is not good, the horse must run with some discomfort.

After seeing more than a dozen horses nailed up, Qin Qiong nodded: "Yes, it looks good."

"You come with me." Qin Qiong pulled Liu Mu away, planning to talk to Liu Mu about some serious matters.

After entering Qin Qiong's military tent, the surrounding area was heavily guarded, but Qin Qiong still ordered no one to approach or disturb him.

"Tell me, what happened to King Qi?" Qin Qiong asked straight to the point.

But Liu Mu asked back: "What did His Highness King Qin say?"

"Your Highness only said that you will get a great treasure, and we will talk about the rest of the matter in detail when we meet, but the person who came to deliver the letter told me that if I ask, Your Highness will let him tell me that you know everything." Qin Qiong said seriously.

Liu Mu confirmed again: "His Royal Highness King Qin did say that I know everything?"

"Your sister has never been willing to wear that string of oriental beads. It's too expensive. Looking at the Tang Dynasty, there will be no more than five strands of such oriental beads."

"Well, the thing is like this. I originally collected some details about the officials in Chang'an, but I just paid special attention to the Prince's Mansion. In fact, I didn't think about how to use these things. They did it first. They gave His Royal Highness King Qin Poisoned. I gave the things I collected to His Highness, and it was Fang and Du who were the masterminds."

As soon as Liu Mu explained in a few words, Qin Qiong completely understood.

Qin Qiong asked again: "What kind of information?"

"For example, I found out that someone is privately making leather armor, tens of thousands of leather armor, and someone is secretly recruiting young men, and someone..." After Liu Mu said a few times, Qin Qiong's face changed: "How do you know so much? "

"Well, I owe Hongxia a favor to help him support some people. These people are also idle. In addition to helping me open Wenyue Pavilion to make money, I also spy on everything about the Prince's Mansion and other places within five hundred miles around Chang'an. Officer's information."

Liu Mu spoke easily, and Qin Qiong's forehead was covered with sweat.

Liu Mu is crazy, dare to do such a bold thing.

Qin Qiong pressed Liu Mu's shoulder: "Why did you do this?"

"If I don't do it, I will die."

"Why? If anyone dares to kill you, even if I can't protect you, there will be His Royal Highness the King of Qin." Qin Qiong did not believe that under the protection of the King Qin's mansion, Liu Mu, an ordinary citizen, would be in danger of life.

But Liu Mu said: "His Royal Highness King Qin was also poisoned by others. Princess Pingyangzhao died with no regrets. My father-in-law Duguzhong died unjustly. From the day I proposed marriage to Princess Changping, I can't escape. Brother-in-law!"

Qin Qiong closed her eyes and went through everything Liu Mu said in her mind.

"Then the flying knight is Duguping?"

"He changed his name to Dugu Shura." Liu Mu didn't deny it.

"You mean, they were responsible for Princess Pingyang's death?" Qin Qiong asked.

Liu Mu nodded: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, and Consort Chai went to worship."

"Okay, Fang and Ren are really wise men in the Qin Palace, okay." After Qin Qiong thought about everything, he also thought that the timing of Fang and Du's attack was very good.

Qin Qiong asked again: "Xiaomu, what about those people?"

"I asked His Highness to give them officials, and His Highness asked me to wait. I plan to hand them over to His Highness, but His Highness confiscated them and let me take care of them temporarily. Right now, Fang and Du are involved in the daily affairs. His adviser is Ma Zhou."

Qin Qiong nodded: "Smart, I dare not keep this power private."

Qin Qiong didn't know the true face of this power, but the information they collected could make the Prince's Mansion so miserable that even the king of Qi lost his life, and he was terrified to think about it.

"I'll tell you how to be an official." Qin Qiong pressed the willow on the couch.

At this time, Chang'an, Prince Qin's Mansion.

The one on Li Shimin's desk is the information sent by Qin Qiong, and the other is the imperial decree of the Tang Emperor.

"Tell me." Li Shimin folded his hands on his chest and closed his eyes, leaning on the soft couch.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Highness, it is obvious that the Turks are stepping into the pocket array laid down by Shu Bao. Each will use his life, and he will not lose even if he wins big. But the sage wants to conquest himself, and transfers Qin Wangfu Yuchi The general and other eight generals also called Changsun Wuji and me to discuss the march. I am afraid that the crown prince will lift the ban after the war."

"Continue." Li Shimin still closed his eyes.

Fang Xuanling continued: "This battle, if His Highness is present in person, even if Jieli can go back alive, His Highness is a great contribution. But the saint suppressed His Highness's contribution."

"If this king gets this merit, the prince won't have to come out." Li Shimin is very confident, he believes that the people in his Qin Palace are very reliable at critical times.

If you really want to try your best to keep Xieli's head, it is not impossible.

Du Ruhui said at this time: "Your Highness, why don't you talk to the five surnames last year."

The five surnames mentioned by Du Ruhui are the five surnames and Qiwang, they are the representatives of the old aristocrats.

Li Shimin shook his head: "Do the math yourself, is the position in the court enough?" This sentence has been said very straightforwardly, and Li Shimin even thought about entrusting him with entitlements and officials after he ascended the throne.

Yu Chigong jumped up: "Your Highness, enter the East Palace."

"Stupid." Li Shimin slapped the cases in front of him heavily: "Jingde, I understand your feelings, and I also want to kill him with a knife. But what about the consequences?"

Li Shimin got angry, but Yu Chigong didn't feel nervous at all, and sat back with his head bowed.

Fang Xuanling said: "The consequences are unimaginable, ranging from eternal infamy to chaos in the world. Unless it is absolutely necessary, this step cannot be taken. But Your Highness, we must be prepared."

Regarding Fang Xuanling's suggestion, Li Shimin nodded silently and said, "Let's attack the army."

"Your Highness said very well, if you can't move without using weapons, you can't move, but there is always a just in case."

Compared to the Prince Qin's Mansion planning for the throne, the Prince's Mansion is much calmer.

Li Jiancheng was grounded and could not communicate with other people. The most urgent thing for the officials of the Prince's Mansion was to stabilize those who were willing to follow the Prince's Mansion, and to let the Prince Li Jiancheng lift the grounds as soon as possible.

Regarding the imperial decree, no matter what Li Shimin was thinking, even if he complained, he would not dare to disobey it.

Eight military generals headed by Yu Chigong from the Palace of the Prince of Qin, ten people led by Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and the mobilized [-] imperial troops went northward, and after picking up Tang Emperor Li Yuan in Yaozhou, they went to Bingzhou.
