Chapter 1166

"Sin minister Qu Zhisheng kowtowed to his majesty Khan!"

In the Tai Chi hall, Qu Zhisheng respectfully gave a big gift to Li Shimin and formally apologized on behalf of Gao Chang.

Li Shimin heard Yan Lang's voice: "Gaochang blocked the Silk Road for no reason. I sent an army to attack. Do you have any complaints in your heart?"

"Tian Khan, please be aware that Gaochang blocked the silk road because my father was coerced by yugshi, not Gaochang's original intention." Qu Zhisheng immediately shifted the responsibility to yugshi. Now the number one opponent in Datang is West Turk, which is a politically correct thing.

"Yugu Shea is so brave that he even provokes Datang without authorization. Why can't I stop him?" Li Shimin said angrily.

"Tell your majesty that although Yugu set is behind the scenes, Gao Chang is willing to drive Yugu set and be an accomplice. His crime is unforgivable." Linghu de Lang, the Minister of rites, said.

When Qu Zhisheng heard the speech, he could not help shrinking his eyes. Then he stood up straight and said, "although he wanted to coerce my father and Datang into hostility, the father owed the son, and the sinner was willing to be punished on behalf of his father."

When Li Shimin saw Qu Zhisheng plead guilty frankly, he couldn't help looking at Qu Zhisheng more and said with satisfaction: "I'll forgive you for your filial piety. When the Tang army besieged Gaochang, you showed signs of taking the initiative to surrender, so that the two countries could avoid war. I call you general of zuowuwei and Duke of Jincheng county."

"The sinner kowtowed to the Khan for his kindness!"

Qu Zhisheng fell to the ground with five emotions in his heart. Loss and happiness are intertwined. What is lost is that the Gaochang Qu Dynasty, which has been inherited for more than 100 years, finally perished. Fortunately, he, the king of the subjugated country, can still preserve, and even falsely take a rich and idle position in the Tang Dynasty.

"Qu's ancestors, Gaochang's defeat is not the fault of Zhisheng." Qu Zhisheng thought silently in his heart, which made him feel better. He got up and nodded slightly to the Mohist son.

He was escorted all the way to the Tang Dynasty. Instead of being humiliated, he was comforted by Mohist Zi many times. Even now his experience is almost the same as that preset by Mohist Zi.

"Since then, Gaochang and Datang have become one family, which is a great happy event." Li Shimin said with great joy in his heart.

"Congratulations, Duke Jincheng! From now on, we will be ministers in the same hall. It's really gratifying!"

The ministers expressed their goodwill to Qu Zhisheng, and the whole scene was harmonious.

Qu Zhisheng also smiled and responded one by one. What he thought in his heart is unknown.

However, an unorthodox voice suddenly broke the harmony. A censor suddenly came forward and said, "inform your majesty that the minister wants to impeach Mo sacrifice wine and blackmail Jincheng County Duke during the western expedition."

In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Merton and Qu Zhisheng.

Qu Zhisheng suddenly looked frightened. He had just got rid of the crisis of life and death and could be a rich and noble idle man in Chang'an City, but he didn't expect to be involved in the court dispute of the Tang Dynasty just a few interest.

"As your majesty knows, the minister and Marquis Mo have no grudges, no private acceptance, and no extortion." Qu Zhisheng quickly got rid of the relationship.

Yu Zhining said with justice on his face: "don't be afraid of the Duke of Jincheng county. This is Chang'an City, the best place at the foot of the son of heaven. Even people with good hands and eyes dare not do anything to you?"

Qu Zhisheng said decisively: "Don't talk nonsense, sir. Although Marquis Mo's firearms warden took the lead in breaking Gaochang city and had a feud with me to destroy the country, public is public and private. On the battlefield, death and injury are inevitable. However, in private, I also have great respect for Marquis Mo's character. In Gaochang, even under the escort all the way, marquis Mo has no act of extortion. If there is a lie in the next half, please help me Khan cut off Weichen's head as an example. "

Hearing that Qu Zhisheng was so determined, Yu Zhining nodded with regret. If Qu Zhisheng was a little fatuous and took the opportunity to revenge and frame Merton, he wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

Li Shimin frowned: "Yu Aiqing, since the Duke of Jincheng County said so, it seems that it's just some shadow catching things, and Merton is not greedy for that little ill gotten money."

Li Shimin's words are definitely not for Merton. If Merton wants to make money, his ink skills alone are enough to earn more wealth. He doesn't look at the money in Qu Zhisheng's hands or even Gaochang's

Other ministers nodded one after another. If they said that other ministers were blackmailing, they might doubt it. However, mojiazi's wealth can be said to be countless. How can he risk coveting the wealth in Qu Zhisheng's hands.

Yu Zhining sneered: "tell your majesty that mojiazi really doesn't see Gaochang's wealth, but he can't refuse Gaochang's Secret skills. Weichen was ordered to supervise the prohibition order, but found that Mojia village openly violated the prohibition order and secretly brewed wine in Dengzhou."

"Violation of the prohibition order!" suddenly the Minister of Manchu frowned. The prohibition order had just been promulgated and came into force, but the Mohist son violated it openly, shut down Xie Qianchou openly, and started brewing wine privately.

Merton explained: "the purpose of the prohibition order is to prevent wine from consuming food and maintain the stability of food prices. The raw material of wine is grapes, not food. Naturally, it is no longer in the ranks of the prohibition order."

The Minister of Manchu Dynasty thought about it, and the move of mojiazi can really justify itself. Although a wine is suspected of playing a marginal ball, it does not conflict with the purpose of the prohibition order of chaotang.

Only Li Shimin took a deep look at Merton. The boy proposed a prohibition to him. He thought the Mohist was dignified, but he didn't expect that there was a back move. He didn't suffer any loss.

Yu Zhining was not surprised by this ending, but showed a trace of pride: "however, what really puzzled Weichen was that the secret technique used by Mo Jijiu officially came from Gaochang's wine secret technique. Since this wine secret technique was not blackmailed from the Duke of Jincheng County, it must have been the booty of Mo Jijiu during the western expedition."

"Misappropriation of booty!" Yu Zhining's voice suddenly made an uproar. Yu Zhining tried his best to make Qu Zhisheng deny that he was blackmailed by the Mohists. He was waiting for the Mohists here. You know, misappropriation of booty is much more serious than blackmailing a conquered king.

The ministers also frowned one after another. Mozi may despise money, but he has no resistance to the secret skill. I'm afraid this wine secret skill was looted by Mozi in Gaochang.

Qu Zhisheng couldn't help looking embarrassed. Wen and Wu in the Manchu Dynasty talked about the Mexican family's misappropriation of spoils. As a victim, his situation was extremely embarrassing.

"Yes, the wine secret skills are indeed from Gaochang, and I have taken two kinds of secret skills from Gaochang, one is wine secret skills and the other is textile secret skills." Merton did not hide it and directly admitted it.
