Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 665

Luzhou is located in the southeast of Shanxi, at the junction of Shanxi, Henan, and Hebei. It governs ten counties including Shangdang and Shexian, with a population of more than [-]. Hebei and Henan provinces are neighbors, with Taiyue Mountain in the west, Linfen City in the west, Jincheng City in the south, and Jinzhong City in the north. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The famous Changping Battle took place Here, it has always been said that "the one who wins the party wins the Central Plains". The city is majestic and magnificent, with a radius of tens of miles. The old man is holding a large wolf hair, leaning over the brush, splashing ink non-stop. This man is Li Yuanjia, the king of Han.

Among the sons of Gaozu, apart from Taizong Li Shimin, Li Yuanjia is considered the most talented, but his talent is not reflected in politics, but is famous for his calligraphy and painting. It is painting a tiger. At this time, what he drew is a picture of a tiger descending a mountain, but where the wolf brushes, a mighty and incomparable tiger has already jumped out of the paper. Domineering gushes out, rippling in the study.

"Father."

Li Yuanjia had just put down his paintbrush, when there was a sound of footsteps, a thin man in his thirties had turned around from behind the screen, walked quickly behind Li Yuanjia, and called out softly.

"What's the matter?"

Li Yuanjia was admiring his own painting comfortably, when he heard a loud noise, he immediately frowned in displeasure, looked sideways, and saw that it was his youngest son Shangdanggong Li Chen, with a displeased look on his face Immediately, it became a little thicker, and he snorted impatiently.

"Father, a letter from the capital has arrived."

As the only son who is by Li Yuanjia's side, Li Chen knows that his father is not allowed to be disturbed when he is painting. Seeing that his father is showing signs of seizures, he dare not neglect him, and hastily took out Feng Jia from his loose sleeve. The sealed letter was raised high above his head, and he reported carefully.

"Ah."

As soon as Li Yuanjia heard that it was a letter from the capital, Li Yuanjia didn't care to get angry again. He hurriedly reached out to take the letter, tore open the seal, and took out a white paper full of secret words from inside. Just looking at it, his brows were immediately furrowed. , I didn't say a word for a long time.

"Father, what happened?"

Seeing Li Yuanjia's expression like this, Li Chen couldn't help muttering in his heart. After waiting for a long time, his old father didn't speak a word. Some people really couldn't restrain the curiosity surging in their hearts. asked in a low voice.

"The king of Yue came to confirm the letter, saying that the imperial court sent Si Nongqing Di Renjie to investigate the case. What does Chen'er think about this, huh?"

Li Yuanjia, whose thoughts were interrupted, gave Li Chen a dissatisfied look, but did not blame him, but frowned slightly, and simply explained.

"Father Wang Mingjian, this person is from Dali Temple. It is said that he has the reputation of being a god in solving cases. The person from the East Palace sent him here. I am afraid that he will not be so easy to deal with. You have to be cautious."

When it came to designing the special envoy for spring plowing, Wang Fangming, Li Chen was reluctant. For this reason, he tried hard to persuade Li Yuanjia not to get involved in the political disputes in the court, but Li Yuanjia just refused to listen, and insisted on paying back the debt he owed on this matter. In desperation, Li Chen had no choice but to follow his father's wishes for Li Zhen's favor. Now that Di Renjie, an expert judge of the case, has finally been attracted, Li Chen's heart is as bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis. , but didn't dare to complain in front of his old father, so he could only reply carelessly.

"Well, those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come. This matter should be dealt with carefully. So how busy is Wang Fangming these days?"

The reason why Li Yuanjia was bothered was naturally because of Di Renjie's illustrious reputation. He was not surprised to hear what Li Chen said at this time, and after casually echoing a sentence, he suddenly changed the topic.

"Returning to the father, the servant has been staying in the station obediently, and has not changed at all."

The house arrest of Wang Fangming was done by Li Chen himself, and he personally arranged the staff for surveillance. Li Chen was very clear about Wang Fangming's movements. Hearing Li Yuanjia's question, he answered it without thinking. out.

"Honestly, the station is isolated outside the city, and the management remains unchanged. If there is a fire or something, it may be difficult to rescue."

Li Yuanjia nodded calmly, and said with emotion.

"Ah... yes, the child knows what to do."

As soon as Li Yuanjia's words came out, Li Chen's body shook involuntarily, and he let out a soft cry of surprise, his eyes widened in disbelief, but when he saw Li Yuanjia's eyebrows furrowed again, But he didn't dare to speak out to persuade him, so he could only forcefully swallow his saliva, saluted respectfully, and obediently agreed.

"Well, let's arrange it then."

Seeing that Li Chen had already understood what he meant, Li Yuanjia stopped talking nonsense, waved his sleeves, and ordered slowly.

"No, my son will leave."

The corners of Li Chen's mouth twitched a few times, but in the end he still didn't dare to speak out on this matter, that is, after a respectful reply, he hurriedly left the study.

"Um……"

Li Yuanjia didn't look at Li Chen any more, and turned back on his own, looking at the picture of a tiger descending the mountain with the ink still wet, his face twitched a few times, and he let out a long muffled groan. What was the meaning behind it? How, I'm afraid he is the only one who has figured it out... Youshi is the right card, it's completely dark, and it's time for dinner, but Wang Fangming has no appetite at all, and sits alone in front of the table , facing Wan Su Nian in a daze, let the flickering lights reflect his face in a cloudy and uncertain way, the bitterness in his heart surged up from the bottom of his heart one after another, he really couldn't figure out what he was doing. Why did it fall into such a field today.

Wang Fangming's family background is not very prominent, it is just a collateral descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan. It is considered to be Wang's family, but they have never enjoyed a day's fame and wealth, and the family barely has enough food and clothing. Fortunately, Wang Fangming was willing to work hard since he was a child, read a lot of books, and studied hard, and he has achieved something in his studies. Xianqing entered the Beijing University for the first time in four years, and he has already passed the Jinshi No. 9 in high school, and he is working hard , but suffered the first major blow in his life-the official interview failed, the official position was hopeless, disheartened, he started to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, but unexpectedly got the favor of Li Xianzhi, who was the king of England at that time , was able to enter the British palace as a nine-rank clerk, and was recommended by the British king, and was able to enter the court as an official.

Strictly speaking, Wang Fangming's official fortune is not very good. After ten years, he barely managed to reach the position of household doctor, and he is qualified to discuss matters in the court. In other words, it is already a world of difference. For this, Wang Fangming is quite satisfied. To Li Xian, the crown prince, Wang Fangming has always held a heart of gratitude, and he has never given up on the things Li Xian confessed. Dare to make a slight discount, and always go all out for it. This time he was ordered to come to Luzhou, Wang Fangming also acted in the same way, walking in the fields every day, busy with the promotion of overseas grain varieties, never He dared to slack off, and in less than a month, he had completed the affairs of ten counties in Luzhou and eight counties, but he never expected that something went wrong in the most remote She County, not only because the local government was extremely If they didn't cooperate, even those peasant households gathered to protest. Wang Fangming just ordered the accompanying guards to disperse the people who came to the inn to make trouble in his arrogance. Wang Fangming couldn't figure out why things had come to such a point.

It shouldn't, it makes no sense at all!Wang Fangming couldn't figure out what was wrong. Although he ordered to disperse the protesting crowd, all his entourage acted with discretion. They never hurt anyone on the spot, let alone insulted anyone. How could the promise of the county government theory intensify the conflict to such an unmanageable point? Which link went wrong?Over the past few days, Wang Fangming has thought about it countless times, but he still can't find the root cause.

"Master Wang."

Just as Wang Fangming was meditating silently, he heard a soft "creak" and the door was pushed open. A middle-aged man dressed as a postman walked in from the outside and arrived at Wang Fangming's room in a few steps. In front of him, he called out in a low voice.

"Huh? You, you..."

These days, Wang Fangming has had enough of house arrest, and has long been used to the indifference of postmen. Even though he heard the door open, he didn't bother to pay attention to it. He just kept his head down and thought about it until Hearing the voice of the caller was very familiar, he raised his head in amazement, and when he saw the face of the comer, he was shocked immediately, and under the agitation of his mind, he couldn't say a complete sentence .

"Your Majesty Wang, don't be alarmed. His Highness knows that His Majesty has been wronged, so he specially ordered this general to come to protect His Majesty. Soon, Duke Di will also be there in person. The case will finally be revealed."

The person who came was Li Yaodong. Although he was dressed in a postman costume, he couldn't conceal his aggressive and sharp aura.

"Your Highness has not forgotten to be an official, this, this, this..."

Although Wang Fangming's official position is not high, he is an upright direct descendant of the Eastern Palace. He has been in and out of the Eastern Palace quite a lot in the past, so he knows what kind of person Li Yaodong is. Under the extremely complicated emotional entanglement, before he finished speaking, tears poured out uncontrollably, and he was so choked up that he couldn't continue.

"This is not a place for talking, Mr. Wang hasten to tidy up, this will be..."

It has been two days since Li Yaodong rushed to Luzhou with his troops this time, and he has already secretly felt the situation in Luzhou city. He knows that Wang Fangming is the key person in this case, and he cannot allow the slightest possibility of mistakes. He sneaked into the station in disguise, intending to take Wang Fangming out of the dangerous place first, and he didn't want to waste any more time in this station, so he hurriedly gave an order, but before he finished speaking, his heart palpitations suddenly started, and his face changed instantly .
