Chapter 191
"Forget it, if you really don't want to, I won't force others to do what you want," Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "However, a few days ago, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments said that he was old and wanted to return to his hometown. I really can't find him right now." If you find the right person, why don't you do it for a while?"

Ministry of punishment?That is a more difficult Yamen than the Ministry of War.

"Then what if I continue to be Minister of the Ministry of War?" Chen Qiao asked tentatively.

Li Shimin said frankly: "In this way, you are both the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment. I think it is very good."

Finally, Chen Qiao couldn't help but put up a middle finger in his heart, and then said righteously: "I think the Ministry of Punishment is very good. As for the Ministry of War, please ask your majesty to find someone else."

Hearing what Chen Qiao said, Li Shimin laughed loudly for a while, "Don't worry, although the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment are more complicated than that of the Ministry of War, you don't have to have a minister in charge. Then you will be the same as now, just go and have a look from time to time."

"Yes."

Although he was dismissed from the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he was assigned to the Ministry of Punishment. After Chen Qiao came out of the palace, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

In this regard, another ten days passed safely, and the soldiers of the Jifeng Battalion who were going to Tianzhu finally sent back the news.

"How to say?"

In the camp of the Black Dragon Army, Shi Lintong found Chen Qiao who was giving the black tiger a piece of meat.

"My lord, the envoys who came to our court this time were indeed photographed by King Jieri, but..." Shi Lintong couldn't help frowning, "King Hou Gupta sent dead servants to kill the envoys and all The entourage, and then someone pretended to be an envoy and planned to assassinate them when His Majesty received them."

"It would be the best if it succeeds. If it doesn't work, you can put the whole thing on King Jieri's head. Only when the time comes, both Datang and King Jieri will suffer, so that he can reap the benefits of it?"

Seeing that Shi Lintong nodded, Chen Qiao couldn't help but sneered, "Then why does King Gupta think that my Tang Dynasty will lose both when we fight against a little Jieri King?"

"Probably not enough brains." Shi Lintong blurted out a sentence, and then scratched the back of his head embarrassingly.

Chen Qiao didn't say much, just smiled silently, "You let them continue to stare at the fake envoy, since they have already made the first move, then they only need to take him down in front of the people of the world, then even if it is a war , and for good reason.”

"It's very true what the lord said."

"How long will it take for them to reach the capital?" Chen Qiao asked again.

"The letter said that there are about seven or eight days left, but..." Shi Lintong said, his face became a little embarrassed again.

"But what?" Chen Qiao asked with a frown.

Shi Lintong looked at Chen Qiao, and finally said it out, "The soldiers of the Jifeng Camp overheard that King Hou Gupta seems to have been in secret contact with a prince in the court since last year."

Hearing this, Chen Qiao's face turned ugly, "Let continue to stare closely, find out the prince who had a close relationship with King Hou Gupta, and report back immediately."

"Yes!"

After agreeing, Shi Lintong turned around and walked out.

Knowing what the other party wants to do, it is much easier to deal with it, and now you just need to wait for them to do it.However, I'm afraid that the prince who had contacts with King Gupta should be the same person behind the spies tracking the general's mansion, otherwise, the other party would not do such a thing at this time.

But who is the other party?

At this time, in a mansion in central Beijing, a young man looked at the person in front of him with a dark face.This kneeling person is none other than the fake beggar who was taken away by the imperial army outside the general's mansion.

After he was taken away that day, the imperial guards repeatedly asked him where he lived on weekdays, but he failed to tell. In the end, the imperial guards became suspicious and threw him into the cell of Dali Temple.But after a few days, the people of Dali Temple saw that this person was supposed to eat and drink in the cell every day, so they thought that this was a person who came to eat and drink in the prison, so they threw him out again.

"Trash!" the young man shouted angrily.

The man knelt on the ground, trembling and touching his forehead to the ground.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, the villain will definitely not make such omissions next time."

The young man closed his eyes and sighed, "Forget it, you can go down."

After the man left, the young man looked into a dark place in the house, "It's dealt with."

"Yes."

A voice sounded in the dark, only a rustling sound was heard, and then it fell silent again. It was obvious that the person hiding in the dark had left the house.

A moment later, the man in night clothes turned back, still holding a bloody long knife in his hand.

"Your Highness, the corpse has already been ordered to be thrown into a mass grave outside the city."

The young man nodded, his brows stretched a little, "Keep a close eye on it, if this kind of rubbish appears again, let's deal with it together."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"King Gupta just sent a letter yesterday, saying that everything is going well on his side, and there must be no trouble on our side."

"The little man understands."

"Go down."

After the man in black left the room, he stood under the sun and took a deep breath, as if he could still smell a strong smell of blood in his nostrils.

At this time, Chen Qiao was already in the Tai Chi Hall.

"King Hou Gupta killed the envoy sent by King Jieri, and also sent someone to pretend to be an envoy, intending to assassinate me?" Li Shimin said, his eyes widened.

Chen Qiao only let out a "hmm" when he heard the words.

However, Li Shimin sneered, "He played as he wished, but unfortunately, I am not someone who can be assassinated so easily!"

"If the assassination fails, the matter will be pushed to King Jieri. When the Tang Dynasty and Jieri start a war, he will just watch the fire from the other side."

"It's really a good plan. If you didn't send someone to investigate, I'm afraid we would all be kept in the dark."

"Exactly."

Both of them were silent for a moment, Li Shimin turned his head to look at Chen Qiao again, "You said that there is a prince who has correspondence with King Hou Gupta, and today... there are many eyeliners outside your mansion who are constantly monitoring what's going on in your mansion?"

Chen Qiao sighed softly, "Yes."

Li Shimin picked up a teacup casually and threw it on the ground, "It's really the opposite! These two unfilial sons want to make me angry!"

"Now I don't know which prince it is, please rest easy, Your Majesty." Chen Qiao said again.

Li Shimin took two heavy breaths and managed to calm down.

"I'll leave this matter to you to investigate, but I want to see which good son of mine is the one who did such a rebellious thing!"

Knowing that his son was involved in this matter, Li Shimin's mood was very complicated for a while. He asked himself that although he hadn't treated every son equally, he had never criticized any of them, so why were they all so impatient? own life?

"Your Majesty, don't be too sad. Maybe it's just King Hougupta's divorce plan." Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Chen Qiao couldn't help but comfort him.

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head, "Why bother to say this, you and I know it all too well."

After the two talked for a while, Chen Qiao saw that Li Shimin looked tired and left the Tai Chi Hall.

"His Majesty……"

The eunuch who had been guarding outside the hall saw Chen Qiao leave, so he walked in.

"Tell me, these sons of mine are more worried than the other?" Li Shimin asked with a wry smile.

"In the front there was Li You who poisoned and murdered the quality, Li Min who colluded with Li Xiaogong and wanted to rebel, and there was also the prince and Wei Wang who were intriguing all day long and made the whole court restless! Now there is another one who is in harmony with Hou Gupta. The king has been in close contact," Li Shimin said, shaking his head with a sigh, "At the beginning I said that the father can't teach the son, but now it seems that I am worse than the father..."

The eunuch knew that Li Shimin was just complaining to him and didn't need him to answer, so he just stood aside with his head bowed and listened quietly.

After Li Shimin's words fell, the eunuch raised his head quietly and took a look at Li Shimin, only to see a lot of silver strands appearing in his black hair.He sighed heavily in his heart, but he still didn't say anything after all.
