Kan Ling came back with a low expression, but said: "It's okay, please return with peace of mind!"

This is enough. Xie Yi didn't ask much about other questions. Now he just wants to return to Chang'an as soon as possible. ←,.

Along the way, although the local government was willing to entertain His Highness King Jin and Xie Changshi, how could Li Zhi and Xie Yi, who were eager to return home, stay?

He refused all social engagements, and everyone rushed straight to Chang'an. Finally, he crossed the Wei River on the 20th day of the 12th lunar month and returned to Chang'an before the New Year.

The first thing you need to go back to Chang'an is to meet Emperor Li Shimin. This is a necessary step. As for whether it will be like spring breeze or storm after seeing Li Shimin, it is unknown.

It doesn't matter. Anyway, Li Shimin won't do anything about himself, except that he is really completely unreasonable. Although His Majesty Li Er has such a dark history, he is not a completely unreasonable shrew. Xie Yi is still somewhat sure about this.

After passing the Longshou Canal and entering the Tai Chi Palace directly, Li Shimin sent his son-in-law Changsun to greet him early in the morning.

This prince-in-law is quite polite, especially when he takes care of his younger brother Li Zhi, but he only exchanged a few greetings with Xie Yi and did not communicate too much, and he didn't know what it meant.

Anyway, the atmosphere is a bit mysterious.

The same was true after entering the palace. Li Zhi was taken to Chengqing Palace first, while Xie Yi was left outside. It was a cold weather, so this move was really unrighteous.

There is no way, who will make others the emperor? Xie Yi did not dare to complain, so he had to wait silently.

Until a long time later, Li Zhi walked out of Chengqing Hall, and was still a little young, with a faint smile on his face. It seemed that the father and son had a good chat.

This is a good sign!

Li Zhi came out of the hall and had a simple eye contact with Xie Yi, and then turned around and left quietly.

"Xuan Xie the Chief Secretary's visit."

"Yes!" Hearing the eunuch's sharp voice, Xie Yi dared to neglect and walked into Chengqing Palace under guidance.

"I Xie Yi, please see Your Majesty!" Xie Yi lowered his head and bowed to salute His Majesty Li Er.

"Yeah!" The response was just a little cold and humming, as if he was a little unhappy.

Xie Yi looked up carefully and looked at His Majesty Li Er secretly. After not seeing him for half a year, Li Shimin had a few strands of white hair on his temples.

No wonder. After all, I am over forty years old, and the court has been in various troubles recently. The war in Songzhou and the grassland crisis, and the princes in Chang'an City did not let him worry. As the emperor of the Nine Five, there are many things to worry about. It is reasonable to gradually look old.

"Xie Yi, are you brave?" Li Shimin's shouting was not loud, but he was full of majesty. If he hadn't been mentally prepared, Xie Yi would have been shocked.

Li Shimin continued: "Without my permission, I took the Chi Nu to Dingxiang to take risks. If my prince makes a mistake, what should you blame?"

"I know the crime!" Xie Yi honestly admitted his fault and dared not have any objection.

"If you know the guilt, the word "is finished?" Li Shimin continued to question sternly. As a father, his beloved son was in danger, obviously worried, and even scared, so it was reasonable to have such a reaction.

Xie Yi was helpless and said honestly: "Please punish him!"

The attitude of not talking back or defending is still effective, at least it makes Li Shimin not have the opportunity to continue getting angry.

Sure enough, after pondering for a long time, His Majesty Li Er said leisurely: "If you don't take the example, otherwise I will never let you go."

"Yes!" Xie Yi felt relieved. It was indeed wrong to take Li Zhi to take risks, but if it weren't for this adventure, how could Dingxiang's affairs be so easy to solve? Everything always has to pay some price. His Majesty Li Er understands this truth. From the perspective of his father, he wants to get angry, and from the perspective of the emperor, he must be rational.

"Just know!" Li Shimin said leisurely: "The things are done pretty well!"

"Thank you for your praise!"

"I heard you made a thunderous thunder on the grassland?" As expected, His Majesty Li Er asked about this first. For an emperor, the weapons that concern his dynasty and defeated powerful enemies from all directions are really exciting. It is reasonable to care about it the most.

"Yes!"

"When will I open my eyes?" Li Shimin asked without hesitation, feeling quite urgent.

Xie Yi said: "Of course, the created thunder of heaven is used up in Dingxiang, and the craftsmen are on the way from Hedong to Guanzhong..."

"What? I have to wait until the craftsmen arrive before I can see it?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, as if he was a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, starting today, the thunder of the sky belongs to the Tang Dynasty. The secret recipe is presented to Your Majesty and has nothing to do with me anymore..." Xie Yi said inexplicably: "I am only responsible for demonstrating the power and precautions of the thunder of the sky to Your Majesty at the right time."

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, but then he laughed and nodded, "Okay, I plan to build a workshop to build a thunderbolt on the bank of Feng River. You are responsible for training craftsmen."

"Yes!" Xie Yi breathed a sigh of relief. This decision should be right. Gunpowder is too lethal and can even threaten the safety of the dynasty.

How could Li Shimin tolerate such a huge secret with great lethality in the hands of others? You Dao means that the more secrets you have, the closer you are to death.

Xie Yi clearly realized this, so he planned to throw this hot potato out early so as not to cause trouble for himself. At the same time, he also expressed an attitude to Li Shimin, believing that His Majesty Li Er would appreciate it.

Especially when Xie Yi told Li Shimin the extremely simple formula of gunpowder, of course, he was in the situation where there was no one within fifty steps of Chengqing Hall.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin continued: "Zhi Nu told me that he fell in love with the little lady of the Wang family in Taiyuan, is there any such thing?"

Xie Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Zhi to be so brave. He told this secret as soon as he returned to Chang'an. It seemed that he couldn't wait for the little lady of the Wang family!

"It should be that the woman's name is Wang Yan. Her father, Wang Renli, is not very high. She met His Highness King of Jin on the way to Jinyang."

Xie Yi said: "Later, on the birthday of Princess Tong'an, he met again. His Highness King of Jin and Mrs. Wang had a great time. There was indeed... the young man had just begun to fall in love with each other, and he had a sign of mutual admiration."

"Oh!" Li Shimin nodded and asked, "Zhi Nu is indeed at the age of marriage. What do you think of this?"

Xie Yi shook his head quickly and said, "Your Majesty can only decide the marriage of His Highness Jin. How dare I overthrow it..."

"Hmph, I heard that Wang Renyou has a girl under her knees, and she is also well off..." Li Shimin said: "You have seen her before, tell me what you think?"

Well……

Xie Yi said helplessly: "I can only talk about my experiences with the temperaments of the two young ladies. Wang Renyou's daughter was born in a legitimate manner. She was born with a noble birth and had a good appearance. However, because she was a legitimate daughter, she was spoiled since childhood. She was inevitably a little older. It is hard to say whether the couple can get along well after marriage.

As for the little lady Wang Yan, she has a relatively low background, but she is generous and has a harmonious temperament. She seems to be able to chat with His Highness King Jin..."

Li Shimin asked, "I have been able to cross the same boat for a hundred years. Are you saying this to the Chicun?"

"Well, this is just a common saying in the countryside, but it is also due to fate." Xie Yi replied in a low voice.

"Hmph!" Li Shimin snorted coldly, no longer mentioned this matter, and instead said: "I ask you, can your secret report be true?"

Xie Yi knew what His Majesty Li Er said was secret report, and said cautiously: "This is such a big deal, so I naturally dare not speak nonsense, it is true...

I believe that the report of the Duke of England about Jinzhou has also arrived. Asanasmo has also arrived in Chang'an, and His Majesty can verify it with them one by one."

After saying this, Li Shimin was silent and had not spoken for a long time. It seemed that this fact was a bit heavy and was considered a bitter fruit, but he had to swallow it obediently.

"You haven't exaggerated because of Du's sake?" Li Shimin asked the last question.

"No!" Xie Yi's answer was loud and loud.

"Okay, you go!" Li Shimin waved his hand, his expression a little heavy.

...

Shortly after Xie Yi left, Li Shimin said leisurely: "I want to leave the palace!"

"Where is your Majesty going?"

"Hejian Prince's Mansion..." Li Shimin slowly said a few words, and the old eunuch who appeared in the darkness of the corner appeared at some point.

"Old miss understand..."

The north wind was howling. It was a bit cold. All the people on the streets went home early, especially after the market closed in the evening.

The street was extremely quiet, and a group of plainclothes warriors of about 300 people hurried across the street and headed straight for a luxurious mansion, Hejian County Prince's Mansion.

The warrior entered the door unreasonably, and after showing a token, he quickly controlled the entire mansion and did not allow anyone to enter or exit. Occasionally, someone wanted to climb over the wall from the darkness, and they were welcomed with powerful crossbow arrows. They did not know that the mansion had been monitored a few days ago.

Under the dim night, Li Shimin was wearing a cloak and slowly stepped into the gate. The old eunuch and two most capable guards followed on both sides.

"Your Majesty, everything is right!"

Li Shimin nodded, without any delay, went straight into the interior and came to a brightly lit house.

The charcoal fire was burning in the house, warm as spring. A middle-aged man with half-white hair was lying on the couch and whispered: "Your Majesty is here, I am missing the welcome."

Under the light, the person who spoke was Li Xiaogong, the Prince of Hejian.

"It's time, is this red tape still meaningful?" Unexpectedly, Li Shimin's words were not very cold, as if they were a little regret and regret.

"Yes, Your Majesty is here for this matter, there is no need for red tape." After Li Xiaogong said this, he coughed several times in succession, as if he was seriously ill.

"Why?" Li Shimin asked a question blankly.

Li Xiaogong was not puzzled, but smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, why?"

"It's okay to have a thing about Jinzhou. You have made some moves in the local area over the years, and I have turned a blind eye to each other." Li Shimin said something, as if he had uncovered a huge mystery.

The main messenger behind the Jinzhou land invasion case and the civil unrest and unrest caused was Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian.

"Thank you for your tolerance." Li Xiaogong did not deny it, and if he took the initiative to admit it.

Li Shimin said: "You are so good, I want to push all the stigma on my son."

"Your Majesty, you are somewhat wronged by the old minister. If the prince and the King of Wei had some connection with Hedong, how could I do it even if I wanted to push it to them?" Li Xiaogong unexpectedly raised questions and objections, and seemed a little unlucky.

"Hmph, so you want to involve my son?" Li Shimin said coldly: "You know, this is something I can't tolerate."

Li Xiaogong sneered: "Is Your Majesty a little too alarmist? Aren't the prince and the King of Wei unscathed?"

"Hmph, you really know how to speak frankly." Li Shimin said: "If Li Ji and Xie Yi hadn't reacted quickly, Hedong would have been in a turbulent manner now..."

Li Xiaogong said: "Yes, I still underestimated them and actually let them catch the tail!"

"Repent?"

"What's the use of regret? You have to ignore the consequences of anything you do, and you are cruel and ruthless. Isn't this what your Majesty said? If you have a little hesitation in front of Xuanwu Gate, will you still have a chance to stand in front of me now?"
