In Li Yanchao's opinion, Zhao Mo was too cunning. www.biquge.info He must have known who he was targeting, but he said that the house was given to him by Qin Bai, the Marquis of Yongjia, and the person who lived in the house was him, and he sent someone to keep an eye on him, but also to curry favor with the princess of Shu and to be unfavorable to him. Zhao Mo didn't mention the crown prince at all, but it was enough to provoke his relationship with his mentor, the prefect of Jinling.

The ruffians had already said everything in front of the Jinling prefect, even if Li Yanchao could bite the bullet and say that they were slandering themselves, but the Jinling prefect was not so easy to be fooled. There are some things, if he decides, even if Zhao Mo has no actual evidence at all, Li Yanchao still can't please him. All he can choose now is to endure to the end, but he is rejected by his teacher, or he admits that everything Zhao Mo accuses, and he is still rejected by his teacher. No matter which one he chooses, the result is the same.

However, Li Yanchao was helpless against this situation. He couldn't explain why he sent the ruffians to spy on Zhao Mo. He couldn't accuse Zhao Mo of lying, saying that the other party was not his goal at all, that would only make the situation worse. After hesitating again and again, Li Yanchao chose to remain silent. No matter what Zhao Mo said, he neither admitted nor denied it anyway, he only secretly thought in his heart about what reason he should use to fool the past when he was alone with his teacher for a while.

Anyway, Zhao Mo is just a child, and he is also a child of the clan who is not favored. Without power and power, what can he do to a court official?

Li Yanchao thought well, but Zhao Mo couldn't cooperate. He also ignored Li Yanchao's silence, and only smiled and said to the prefect of Jinling: "Look, Lord Li can't argue for himself, so he has to acquiesce to my accusations. Just now, you said that you were thinking too much and misunderstood Master Li. ”

The prefect of Jinling only felt that the student had lost his face, and he wished that he had never recognized the student. But in front of Zhao Mo, he could only laugh: "The grandson laughed, but I was negligent." I will definitely give an explanation to my grandson about this. ”

Zhao Mo smiled and sighed heavily: "Actually, I don't want the prefect to give me an explanation. What kind of person am I on now? Lord Li can step on my head as soon as he is a county magistrate, and I can be regarded as a descendant of the first emperor in vain. If the emperor and the elders of the clan know, they will definitely be annoyed with me. In fact, I was just scared, and I finally came to Jinling to relax, but I still had to worry about my own life. Jinling City is such a prosperous place, can't I even have a foothold? If Lord Li can guarantee that he will not gather more manpower to monitor my whereabouts in the future, and if he wants to disadvantage me, I will not embarrass the prefect. In the letter sent to the capital every month, I will also say a lot of kind words for the prefect. ”

His words seemed to have degraded himself to the dust, but it made the Jinling prefect break out in a cold sweat, thinking that Zhao Mo, a disciple of a close branch of the clan, actually had no place in Jinling under his jurisdiction, if this kind of thing really made the emperor and the princes in the clan know, he would definitely eat it. Even if it is rumored that Zhao Mo is not treated by his biological father, the prince of Liao will not let outsiders bully his flesh and blood, that is a blatant slap in the face. Li Yanchao is just a acting county order, which onion is it? But he is the acting county order, but he is still his own student. The nobleman is angry and blames it, and naturally he bears it himself. Even if the emperor will not punish him heavily, his impression of himself is bad after all.

At present, he has been sitting on the prefect of Jinling for several years, whether it is to stay in his original post or seek promotion, it is a critical time. If something goes wrong, his future will be jeopardized. If it was really his own fault, it would be fine, but he was completely innocent and implicated, how could he swallow this breath?!

Thinking of this, the expression of the prefect of Jinling suddenly became serious, and the tone of his voice became more respectful: "Shisun must not say that. The lower officials are the parents of Jinling Mansion, and they have the responsibility to supervise their subordinate officials and must not violate the laws of the country. As an official of the imperial court, if Li Yanchao really violated the laws and regulations of the imperial court, the lower official, as his superior, would never shield him. Just leave this matter to the lower officials, and the lower officials will definitely give an explanation to the grandson!"

In the same sentence, when he said it the second time, his tone was much more solemn than the first time.

Zhao Mo knew that it was too late, and he didn't force him, but just smiled: "Then I'll wait for the news of the prefect." If the prefect wants to find me, just go to the Yongjiahou Mansion. ”

The prefect of Jinling secretly wiped his sweat again, and sent Zhao Mo away with a smile. Before Zhao Mo left, he glanced at the ruffian again, intentionally or unintentionally: "Those people ...... The prefect should order people to guard carefully, so as not to let people kill their eloquence. ”

How could the prefect of Jinling allow such a thing to happen? Naturally, it was a quick response.

When the ruffian heard it, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Mo a few times, with an unpredictable expression.

After Zhao Mo left, the prefect of Jinling turned his head to look at Li Yanchao. Li Yanchao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Teacher, the student is really wronged......

"Shut up for me!" the prefect of Jinling scolded and was unceremoniously, "Pay the money that should be paid, release the person when you should release it, don't mess around." You are also a child of a family, why are your eyelids so shallow?

Li Yanchao's face turned red. Why did he detain these ruffians for a few taels of silver? So he stubbornly said, "Teacher, these are all hooligans and ruffians in the city, and I don't know how many things they have committed." Now that they finally have a name to take them, how can they be let go like this? The governor Yamen issued an order a few years ago, ordering Shangyuan and Jiangning counties to restrain the people under their jurisdiction and prevent them from causing trouble in the New Year. These are the thorns in the city, if they are let out, they will commit crimes in the future, how can the teacher explain to the governor's yamen?"

The prefect of Jinling sneered: "Idiot! Are you using this kind of thing to scare me? How many years have I been an official in Jinling City? How long have you been here? Do you think you can deceive me with a few words? You really don't know who those people are? Originally, I thought that you were my student anyway, and I had to leave you some dignity. Since you don't appreciate it, then don't blame me. ”

He ordered that the group of ruffians be brought back to the prefect's yamen to interrogate, who was right and who was wrong, and what to do, had his own decree. At this time, it is reasonable for the prefect and the yamen to detain the ruffians for a few days. It's just that if Li Yanchao wants to hack them again, it will be impossible.

The leader of the ruffians was very discerning, and he signaled his companions not to resist, and obediently let the messengers of the prefect's yamen escort them away. Li Yanchao watched as this group of witnesses walked out of his control, and he was so anxious that he gritted his teeth, but he was helpless.

Then, the prefect of Jinling called him to the back hall and drove everyone out of the house, leaving only Li Yanchao alone, and the teacher and student talked alone.

The prefect of Jinling asked at a glance: "Do you really want to be unfavorable to the grandson of the King of Liao? For what? Just because of the dispute between the prince of Liao and the palace of the king of Shu?"

Li Yanchao still wanted to quibble, but the prefect of Jinling did not wait for him to speak, so he reprimanded: "Hugh is going to fool me with lies! If you don't tell the truth again, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings!"

Li Yanchao was stunned, hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "It's the capital...... When the letter came, the elders in the family felt ...... It's good to be angry with the princess, and it also means to show goodwill. ”

The prefect of Jinling sneered: "This doesn't make sense. You just didn't hear it? The grandson of the king of Liao said that because of the collusion between the prince of Shu and the second son of the prince of the palace of Liao to frame the prince of Liao, His Royal Highness the king of Shu was eaten. His little son was also implicated, and the so-called heir of the emperor had no part in him earlier, and he had to curry favor with the queen mother before he could stay in Beijing and continue to talk about his good relatives. At such a time, the elders of your family will still want to teach the Liao Wang's grandson a lesson in order to show favor to the Shu Prince's Mansion? They are not confused! This is not to curry favor with the Shu Princess, but to harm the Shu Princess! They are well aware of the inside affairs in the capital, and they will never cause trouble to the Shu Princesses at such a time. Only you, a kid, have been released from the foreign post and don't know the situation in Beijing at all, will you be young and vigorous and do such a foolish thing!"

Li Yanchao finally reacted: "This ...... It can't be! It's just a casual thing he said!"

The prefect of Jinling unceremoniously poured cold water on him: "There is a letter from Beijing for a long time, didn't you mention it to you at home?!"

Li Yanchao's face turned pale, and his hands trembled. Could it be ...... Could it be that he really bet on the wrong treasure?! Obviously, the news he heard a few months ago was that the youngest son of the King of Shu had the upper hand in the battle for the emperor's heir, why did he suddenly ......

Seeing him like this, the prefect of Jinling was a little relieved, and warned him coldly: "I know that you are young and vigorous, and you want to be motivated, and sometimes you will inevitably be impetuous. But you are a foreign official, although you are acting as a county order, in fact, you are still a county official. What does the major affairs of the court and the choice of the emperor's heir have to do with you? Whether it is the young son of the King of Shu or the son of the King of Liao, who is up and who is down, what is the difference to you? The Empress Dowager is still there, you are just the grandson of the Tu family, what are you doing with this idle mind?!"

The prefect of Jinling is also from a family, but unlike Li Yanchao, who is bent on taking sides and then fighting for the merits of the dragon, his family has always followed the principle of prudence and neutrality, and does not participate in the struggle for the throne, nor does it get involved in the political struggle of the nobles. The brothers and cousins of the prefect of Jinling, as well as several in-laws, are all flourishing official eunuch families, and they are the most shrewd. Maybe they won't have a day when they will be rich, but the word "stable" is enough to overwhelm everything.

Therefore, the prefect of Jinling will not be able to accept Li Yanchao's approach. In his opinion, the Tu family, who has the Empress Dowager Tu as a backer, and the in-laws of the Tu family, there is no need to risk fighting for the position of the emperor's heir. Whoever becomes the new monarch must respect the Empress Dowager Tu. Princess Shu wants to fight for a future for her son, that is her own business. She is a foreign-married daughter, does the Tu family still have to do everything to help her? If she fails, even the Queen Mother will be affected. Even if it can really be done, can the future of the Tu family be richer than it is now?

The prefect of Jinling looked at Li Yanchao, who was lost and depressed, and had already made a decision in his heart. He slowed down his expression and persuaded in a good voice: "You, you are really confused! Fortunately, it has not yet made a big mistake, and it is not too late to make amends." You go back and pack up, I will personally take you to Yongjiahou's mansion tonight, and accompany Yongjiahou and the grandson of King Liao. In the future, don't do it again! You worked hard a few days ago, so take advantage of the Chinese New Year to take a break. After the beginning of spring, the new county order sent by the imperial court to take over is about to arrive, and if you have a good handover with him, you will come to me. I will arrange your future official positions for you. Don't be anxious, you know?"

Li Yanchao looked up at him suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief. What does the teacher mean by that?!
