Lin Weizhong nodded and said, "That should be the case." In the past few days, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple have been interrogating Li Sanzi about the fact that Sima of the Sixth Rate Mansion in the East Palace reported that Xuanyi documents were fake. Li Sanzi was afraid of the face of the imperial court, and tried his best to cooperate with the two yamen. ”

Some people felt that he had become well-behaved, so they planned to use the banquet of the Zhao family to tease him. The third son of the Li family probably heard such a rumor, so he felt impatient. Holding a Zhang Xingzhi is just to warn those people not to use his patience as a reason for you to spill. ”

"Also, you go and tell the party people down there to settle down. Don't jump out because of other people's two provocations, and don't accept things from the Dong family and the Zhao family anymore. In today's situation, let's wait and see what happens, there is no need to jump into this fire pit. ”

"The Dong family was forced by the Supreme, and there was really no way, so they would make a desperate bet. Those people in the 'Beitang Party' have their own political demands, so they will engage in chaos with the situation. We don't have to do this, because Su Lintang has spread over most of the courts, and the momentum is too great, and it will backfire if there is too much trouble. ”

Zhang Dechen nodded and frowned, thought for a while, and said, "But if you endure it like this, will it make the people on Mr. Jishan's side think that we are soft and good?"

Lin Weizhong laughed twice and said: "There is a word called 'Taoguang Yanghui', which refers to the situation that the Surin Party should have now. Why did the Supreme support the Beitang Party? It was because Su Lin was too sharp and made the Supreme feel uneasy, so the Supreme would release the vicious dog of Beitang at the beginning of his ascension to the throne. ”

Zhang Dechen nodded slightly, and said: "It's just the emperor's mind that balances left and right, and the emperors of the Great Shang Dynasty have mastered this skill quite proficiently. ”

Lin Weizhong took a sip of warm tea and sighed: "The emperor of this great business, there is no one to deal with." Zhao Jishan is the leader of the Beitang Party, and he naturally understands these truths, but this person, the overall situation is too poor, and he always thinks that if Su Lin is bitten to death, Beitang will be the only court. As everyone knows, if Su Lin is completely strangled to death, his North Hall will not be far from the time of destruction. ”

Zhang Dechen said: "The student thinks that Mr. Jishan has long understood these things, but it is only because he is used to playing some small tricks that he will ignore these things. ”

Lin Weizhong laughed and said: "It's not because he's used to playing small tricks, those little tricks are all from his son Zhao Donglou." He did these things only because those people in the North Hall were people who had no faith. That is, he only cares about the glory and wealth of his own life, and does not think about anything else, Zhao Jishan is like this. ”

"However, the ridiculous thing is that he regards Su Lin as a great enemy of life and death, but he doesn't know that there is such a thing as party fighting, that is, you have me, I have your business, officials, you can be Su Lin today, and you can become Beitang tomorrow, even if Su Lin and Beitang no longer exist, there will still be a 'Northern Su Party' or something. Therefore, the old man will say that he Zhao Jishan is short-sighted. ”

Zhang Dechen smiled and said: "What Xiangye said is that he Beitang and I, Su Lin, are completely two different groups, Beitang is aggressive, but Su Lin is inclusive. ”

Lin Weizhong sighed: "That's right, Zhao Jishan doesn't have that kind of mind, so the people of the Beitang Party are also happy people." This battle for the throne is their greatest benefit, but they don't want to, regarding the Ninety-Five Dragon Court, civil officials should be like a gate, watching from the wall, and participating too much, but it is counterproductive. ”

Zhang Dechen said with a smile: "The student said a digression, when it comes to seizing the throne, which side is more optimistic about the Xiangye?"

Lin Weizhong pointed at Zhang Dechen with a smile and said, "You, you are still young, what's the point of favoring which side you are?" No matter who ascends the throne of those two, there will always be checks and balances, Su Lin is indispensable, and Beitang is indispensable. ”

Zhang Dechen said: "The student is just curious, and thinks that if the momentum in the court is now, it must be that the Dong family has a better chance of winning, and the prince seems to have no other advantages except for his teacher Mr. Liu Xun and the sporadic disciples of Tui Zhigong." On the other hand, the king of the county united most of the courtiers. ”

Lin Weizhong shook his head and said: "Our Dongzhu is a rare male lord, it seems that he is a little playful and troublesome, but he already has the world in mind. ”

Zhang Dechen said: "So, Xiangye is optimistic about the prince?"

Lin Weizhong nodded and said: "Yes, in the final analysis, the crown prince's ascension to the throne is irreversible, the seizure of the throne depends on force, the door is neutral, and the Dong family cannot unite the gate, on the other hand, the prince has Li Sanzi's Xuanyi in hand, doesn't this explain the problem?"

Zhang Dechen frowned and said: "But as far as the students know, the Dong family has also gathered a large number of Jianghu guests, and with the strength of today's Xuanyi, they are only afraid of ......."

Lin Weizhong waved his hand and interrupted him: "What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that Li Sanzi is not an opponent? Hehe, Dechen, you still don't understand the Li family, that's why you say this, the old man and Li Tuizhi have been friends for half a lifetime, his eldest son Li Bebei once worshiped the old man to learn "Jingxue", his second son Li Xunhuan, speaking of which is also the old man's protégé, what is the character of the Li family, the old man knows too well. ”

"They are people who know they can't do it, and there will always be unexpected things happening to them, how can Li Sanzi be an exception?"

Zhang Dechen nodded slightly and said, "Xiangye may be right, but the student still has doubts, so I want to ask Xiangye." ”

Lin Weizhong said indifferently: "You say." ”

Zhang Dechen was a little embarrassed and was silent for a long time.

Lin Weizhong smiled and said, "Is there anything you can't say in front of the old man?"

Zhang Dechen sighed before he said, "Xiangye, who do you think this Li Sanzi, who is called 'Absolute Son' on the rivers and lakes, what does his style look like?"

Lin Weizhong said with a smile: "Naturally, it is like his father Li Tuizhi, the Li family is like this, no one recognizes it when he is domineering, and he doesn't care about his willfulness, when King Zhao rebelled, Li Tuizhi ignored Qi Shuai's military order and killed King Zhao, that's it." Look at Li Bebei again, just in the middle of Tanhua, he ignored the royal majesty of the supreme at the Longmen banquet, and apologized to him after being forced by wine. ”

"Not to mention Li Er, just because there is an imperial history that participated in him in the court, it is some insignificant words, which official has not been involved, but let him go directly to the crown. The Li family is used to being willful, and it is not surprising that there is a Li Sanzi who acts indiscriminately. ”

Zhang Dechen shook his head and said: "However, the student feels that Li Sanzi is not the same as his family, the student carried Xiangye on his back, sent some dead soldiers to Qianli Village, and found out some things. ”

After Zhang Dechen said this, Lin Weizhong frowned.

Zhang Dechen hurriedly said: "The matter of sending the dead man has not been passed on to the Xiangye, and I also ask the Xiangye to forgive the sin." ”

Lin Weizhong waved his hand and said, "Where are those dead soldiers now?"

Zhang Dechen said: "Dead, eight dead soldiers, all dead." The last one died in a restaurant in the capital, he swallowed a strip of cloth in his mouth, stuck it in his esophagus with a Zeni, and saw the strip of cloth after the student cut his internal organs. It recorded that they infiltrated Qianli Village, and finally arrived in front of the stone tablet, and the rest was the defense of Qianli Village. ”

Lin Weizhong said: "Where is the strip of cloth?"

Zhang Dechen said: "It has been burned, but the students have already picked up a copy of the relevant records." If you want to see it, the student will give it to you. ”

Lin Weizhong nodded, frowned and closed his eyes, preoccupied.

Zhang Dechen said: "After seeing those two sentences, the students suddenly became interested in Li Sanzi, and felt that he was not like his father and brother, but more like Ming Yuangong, because he ......"

"Shut up!"

Lin Weizhong was furious and shouted: "Li Sanzi......! Compared with Liu Mingyuan! He is just a willful and reckless fool! He can't even compare with Li Tuizhi! How can he compare with Liu Mingyuan!"

Zhang Dechen was silent.

Lin Weizhong eased his nerves, sighed, and said, "Dechen doesn't have to care, it's the old man who has lost his temper." ”

Zhang Dechen shook his head and said, "It's the student's fault that made the teacher unhappy." ”

Lin Weizhong tried his best to calm himself down, and after a while, he waved his hand at Zhang Dechen and motioned him closer.

Zhang Dechen approached as he said, and Lin Weizhong lowered his voice and asked, "For so many years, Ming Yuangong, uh, Liu Mingyuan's descendants have fallen?"

Zhang Dechen shook his head and said: "No, the students have been visiting for many years, and there has been no news, presumably Ming Yuan Gong must have left no descendants, after all, it was a massacre that wiped out the nine clans." ”

When Lin Weizhong heard him say this, he sighed with a little frustration, and said: "If you can't find it, then forget it, presumably there will be no descendants left behind by Ming Yuangong." Alas, the four heroes of the Jinshi Army were so determined back then. Advancing by leaps and bounds is like Li Tuizhi, strategizing like Ming Yuangong, and meticulous and subtle like Sun Bolun. The old man got a good name, and he was a mediocre one. ”

Every time I think of it, the old man is full of emotion. Now, only the old man and Sun Bolun are left, and the other two are gone. Dechen, your words made the old man feel a lot of emotion, if you can, go and invite Brother Bolun to drink tea in the house in a few days. ”

Zhang Dechen said: "Students will understand. ”

He naturally knew that his teacher said these words just to divert the topic about Liu Mingyuan, but the questions that had been entangled in his heart for many years made him really want to ask, and after thinking for a long time, he asked: "Xiangye, the student has another question he wants to ask you, this question is very unreasonable, but the student wants you to answer truthfully." ”

Lin Weizhong looked at him, as if he already knew what Zhang Dechen wanted to ask, sighed, and then raised a smile and said: "Dechen, you are the old man's student and the old man's best friend, if you want to ask, just say it quickly." ”

Zhang Dechen pondered for a long time before he said: "Back then, did Xiangye participate in the framing of Ming Yuangong?"
