Chapter 242:

Qian Yong said very secretively at the time, it must have been because he was suspicious of the people around Li Chengxiu, and maybe he knew who was the one who ate inside and out!

It seems to be self-evident who this person who eats inside and out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

How can it be!

How so?

Li Chengxiu only felt cold all over her body, she didn't want to believe her own conjecture, if it was really like that, people's hearts would be too terrible.

Sixth life, ninth life, she treats them well, entrusts them with important responsibilities, treats them as siblings, how can they ......

And Xuchang, does the matter of these two sisters have anything to do with him?

If there is, then it really deserves to die! He was raised by his father, and he was originally an orphan who was helpless and could starve to death at any time, because of his father, he could live as a human being! Now that he is almost the master of the Li family, is it really a liter of rice to raise grace and a bucket of rice to raise hatred?

No, that's too dirty!

Li Chengxiu knew that she was a little taken for granted, judging from the current situation, Xuchang was not involved at all, but she felt that no matter whether Xuchang was involved or not, he couldn't stay at home.

When she returned to the palace, Li Chengxiu began to arrange, and she went directly to Wudan.

"I remember you said a few days ago that there is a vacancy in Weizhou Zhichong Mansion, right?" Li Chengxiu asked Wu Dan: "Has that gap been filled now?"

"Why are you asking this?" Wu Dan looked at Li Chengxiu in surprise, she had never asked about the military before.

Lee Sung-so said, "I want to arrange for one person. ”

"Who?" asked Wu Dan.

Li Chengxiu did not hide Wu Dan either, and said directly: "Xuchang." ”

"Xuchang?" Wu Dan was quite surprised and asked, "How did you remember to arrange for him?" and he was willing to come out?"

In the past, Wudan mentioned the matter of letting Xuchang go out, but Xuchang refused, there was no reason, just two words "don't want to", very domineering. Li Chengxiu felt warm-hearted, because she knew that the reason why Xu Chang didn't come out to do things was all for her parents. -- There is a saying that "parents are not far away", and for the second elder of the Li family, Xuchang is their son. Li Chengxiu thinks so, and Xuchang thinks so too.

"Hmm. Li Chengxiu replied vaguely.

Wu Dan said happily: "It's great that he is willing to come out, it just so happens that there is a vacancy in Jin Wuwei......"

"No, just Weizhou!" Li Chengxiu interrupted Wu Dan's words.

So it made Wu Dan strange: "Why do I think something is wrong with you!"

The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, especially the ugliness of the mother's family to the mother-in-law's family, this is unacceptable!

Li Chengxiu refused to explain to Wu Dan: "What's wrong, I just want to arrange Xuchang to be a Guoyi lieutenant in Weizhou, what's wrong?"

"Not really. Wu Dan said: "It's just that I naturally have to take care of my own people, not to mention that there is a shortage of people in Beijing now." ”

"Not good. Li Chengxiu said stupidly: "I don't want people to gossip about me, besides, this is what my father meant." ”

It turned out to be the meaning of the father-in-law!

In front of the son-in-law, the father-in-law is the biggest!

Wu Dan didn't ask any more, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Okay, Weizhou is Weizhou...... In fact, Weizhou is also very important, I will assign him another hundred people, and he will be the most powerful Guoyi Lieutenant in Weizhou. ”

"Okay, you look at the arrangement. "Lee Sung-so's interest is not authentic.

……

After getting Xuchang to Weizhou, Li Chengxiu should move the Xu sisters...... There was no need to be in such a hurry, but the emperor was in a hurry to go to the northern capital, and he urged the departure time every day, and Li Chengxiu didn't have much time to arrange it slowly.

In the end, it is just a guess in my heart, and Li Chengxiu has no empirical evidence to prove that the Xu family sisters have done bad things, and besides, they have been together for so long, and they have always been like relatives, and it is not easy to do too much. So, Li Chengxiu selected three people from the people who were sent to the imperial tomb by the emperor and recalled by her to help the Xu sisters.

This has never been my thing, because the three people arranged by Li Chengxiu from one to six and nine felt that Li Chengxiu was suspicious of them. I don't know if it's because I have a weak heart as a thief, or if I feel hurt by unwarranted suspicion, Jiusheng has changed from lively and naΓ―ve to become taciturn, and his errand is not bad. But Liusheng didn't have the same good cultivation as Jiusheng, she couldn't hold back the evil fire in her heart, and rushed to the door to find Li Chengxiu directly to theorize.

"Why are you doing this to us?" Liu Sheng tearfully accused Li Chengxiu: "What do we have to be sorry for you? My father has been a cow and a horse for your Li family all his life, and our sisters and sisters have also done their best for you, don't you feel sorry for us like this?"

Of course it's lacking in heart!

The suspicion of the Xu family is unsubstantiated, Li Chengxiu already has a little weakness, and if he asks Liusheng to ask him in person like this, he feels even more unreasonable.

However, what about the loss? Although there is no solid evidence, the previous signs are not groundless. Stop before the situation develops out of control, which is good for everyone.

Li Chengxiu pretended to be confused: "Where did you start talking about this?"

Liusheng snorted and sneered: "You are still pretending, you drove my father out of your Li family, and immediately took away the rights of our sisters, do you just think that we are all fools?"

Li Chengxiu naturally refused to admit it: "That's right, what are you doing to find someone to take your power! You really think too much, I see that you are working too hard, find a few people to share some of your chores, I have more important arrangements for you!"

"What an important arrangement, it's just a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, and the birds are hiding their bows!" Liusheng sneered: "I just thought that Toshiba is now in your hands, so you have to kick us away!"

Li Chengxiu's patience was exhausted, and he was also a little embarrassed, and said coldly: "It's really more and more unpleasant!"

"Am I wrong?" Liusheng asked Li Chengxiu: "Do you dare to swear to the sky?"

"Bastard!" Li Chengxiu was really angry, and said angrily: "I am the master, you are a servant, how do I have to ask you for instructions?

Liusheng was stunned by the scolding, and then burst into tears: "You, you have no conscience!"

"Get out!" Li Chengxiu scolded angrily.

"You'll regret it!" Liuqi was extremely angry, yelled at Li Chengxiu and ran out with his face hidden.

Li Chengxiu was so angry that he trembled and swept the things on several cases all over the ground.

Liuqi was angry, so he ran back home all the way, and then Mrs. Li entered the palace.

Li Chengxiu met the old lady in Cuiping Pavilion, and the old lady said earnestly: "Your father just mentioned to me the day before yesterday that they are not young, and they should not be delayed any longer, and this happened today." Are you mistaken?"

"I think I'm mistaken. Li Chengxiu said: "But all kinds of signs are there......

"Then we should figure it out. The old lady said.

"How do you figure it out?" said Lee Sung-so, "what if you find out that the problem is bigger?"

"And what if we wronged them?" asked the old lady after a pause.

Li Chengxiu said: "Even if they are wronged in this matter, they will never be wronged in other things." ”

"What else?" said the old lady.

Li Chengxiu spit out two words: "Unauthorized power! They actually joined hands up and down to cut off my connection with the outside world!"

The old lady was speechless for a moment, these two girls really committed a big taboo, it can be seen that the picture is not small!

Suddenly, the old lady only felt a chill down her spine, Xu Changke is almost the spokesperson of the Li family!

Looking at Li Chengxiu's look, there must be solid evidence.

It is said that people's hearts are flesh and blood, Xu Chang grew up in the Li family since he was a child, and he saw that the clothes he wore were sewn by the old lady with a needle and a thread, and he really regarded him as his own son. However, why does the Xu family not know how to be grateful?

The old lady hurriedly returned home, and entered the palace again the next morning, still in Cuiping Pavilion, but there was one more person today. ―― Xuchang came with the old lady.

Xu Chang's expression was a little bad, not to mention the resentment on his face, but he lacked the closeness to nature in the past. Li Chengxiu was a little sad, this was not what she wanted, her original plan was to use Xuchang as an excuse that the official lady should no longer be a slave or a maid, and press this matter so calmly, no one's face will be hurt, and everyone will be happy. How did you know that Liusheng was so temperamental, he couldn't stand the slightest grievance, and he actually picked things out and made everyone so embarrassed.

After being silent for a long time, Li Chengxiu sighed: "Maybe one day in the future, it may prove that I am thinking too much, but, Brother Chang, I have no choice now." ”

Xuchang went to Weizhou to take up his post, bringing with him the sixth and ninth lives.

It's just that only two people have left, but Li Chengxiu seems to feel that the entire East Palace is empty.

Wu Dan said to Li Chengxiu: "Where is there less people and it looks empty, it is your heart that is empty." ”

Li Chengxiu was deeply impressed, and sighed: "I finally know why you are called lonely." ”

"You guys?" Wu Dan looked at Li Chengxiu amusedly.

"Yes, it's our turn now. Li Chengxiu smiled wistfully.

As soon as the sixth and ninth students left, two important positions were vacated in the East Palace, and all parties stared at Li Chengxiu and waited for an opportunity. However, Li Chengxiu has plans this time, and she is waiting.

On the third day, the queen really sent a girl named Qiuyun over, saying that it was given to Li Chengxiu's foot-washing girl.

Oh, wash your feet!

This Qiuyun is just ten years old, is the eldest daughter of Shaoqing Luo Ting of Honglu Temple, entered the palace at the age of twelve and has been working in the Shanggong Bureau, and just became the head of a house this year. It took eight years to become the head of the Shanggong Bureau, which shows that he is very capable. Luo Qiuyun is not only capable, but also quite beautiful in appearance, with a goose egg face, a pair of slender willow eyebrows embedded with a pair of eyes like autumn water, and a bit of grace in his gestures. can be in charge of the Shanggong Bureau,

Almost at the same time, Concubine Qin Hui also stuffed in a woman named Li Qian.

This Li Qian also has a great background, she is the cousin of Princess Yihuai and the niece and granddaughter of Duke Wen of the dynasty. Li Qian has the bearing of the crown princess, she is not beautiful, but she is dignified and graceful, and she is a noble girl from a well-educated family at first glance. But this is not the point, the focus is on Concubine Qin Hui's recommendation: "This girl is quite favored by the old lady, and she has been with her since she was a child. ”

The old lady of the Wen family is a well-known capable person in Chang'an City, and this Li Qian learned from her for 120,000 yuan, which is also very powerful.

The queen didn't dare to provoke, and Concubine Qin Hui didn't want to provoke either, so these two people, Li Chengxiu, couldn't refuse.

But let these two people seize the power of her East Palace? How could it be!

Li Chengxiu had been prepared, she had already looked for a woman named Tian Wan'er.

The Furong Garden Spring Banquet case came to the East Palace for a big purge, and almost all the female officials in the palace bureau were out at that time, and Tian Wan'er was one of the few survivors. Thinking about the environment of the East Palace, she was able to sew the source left and right without making mistakes, which shows that it is not a simple role.

Respectful and orderly, Li Chengxiu asked Luo Qiuyun to take charge of the affairs of the East Palace, Li Qian was the second assistant, and Tian Wan'er was the third. Li Chengxiu stipulates that the principal who uses money and goods can refute the right to refute, but it needs to be signed by two assistants at the same time to be effective. In this way, the three of them can restrain each other.

The three of them are all very promising, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps, so I think the East Palace will be lively and interesting in the future.

It's not that Li Chengxiu is looking for something to do, but through the matter of the Xu family sisters, Li Chengxiu understands something. The most complete trust is the greatest harm, people's hearts are like water, there is no permanent form, and it may change one day. In this imperial city, it is a time of death and life anytime and anywhere, and it is really unrealistic to rely on people's hearts. A strict and standardized system is the greatest guarantee. Everyone follows the rules, no matter which side you are, you are better off than these rules, as long as she doesn't follow those rules, she is safe.

There is a reason why Lee Sung-so has these understandings and such a big change.

On the day when Xuchang took away the sixth and ninth lives, Li Chengxiu finally met Gong Siwu and Feng Youcai and learned some truths. Don't say anything else, just one. The reason why they have been in Chang'an for so long and Li Chengxiu has not seen them is all because Liusheng has made a hindrance from it. However, what Li Chengxiu didn't expect was that the mastermind of this matter was Liu Yang, and it was Liu Yang who said that Liusheng had conspired with him. The reason why Liu Yang did this was only because he was afraid that Gong Siwu and Feng Youcai would also be recommended to Wudan by Li Chengxiu and be reused by Wudan, which would affect his interests.

This is the human heart!

Who would have thought that a person could change so much in just one month?

A month ago, Liu Yang was still a good young man who was indifferent to fame and fortune and had no intention of pursuing an extraordinary career, but a month later, he would become a scheming young man because he was afraid of losing his interests!

Li Chengxiu was cold all over his body, but Wu Dan was very happy, he said that he didn't need them to work together, he just needed them to work hard, and such a competitive dedication was what he was willing to see.

Of course, you have to do your best, if you don't do your best and be compared to others?

Li Chengxiu understands that this is the legendary "art of checks and balances".

Although she hates it very much, Li Chengxiu has to use it to run the harem, because she doesn't want the Xu sisters' incident to happen again, and she needs to be safe. -- The extremes of things must be opposed, eggs cannot be put in the same basket, and if the power is too concentrated in one person, it will eventually harm others and oneself.

The movement in the East Palace this time is not big, but it is not small, especially Li Chengxiu's position of Luo, Li, and Tian has attracted the attention of all parties.

After hearing this, the emperor nodded frequently, and said to Yiyan: "Chengxiu's child, smart, affectionate, and sincere, is a rare good child, I have always liked her, but I often worry about her because of this, she is too simple, although she understands the complexity of people's hearts, she makes herself a simple person." Well, now that she's finally figured it out, she knows that she's a superior person. ”

Yi Yan said with a smile: "This is all the blessing that Your Majesty has obtained from cultivating the Great Dao, and the crown princess has passed the spiritual aperture, which is the harbinger of the success of Your Majesty's Great Dao!"

This was quite useful to the emperor, and the emperor laughed and said: "Yes, the prince is strong and brave, and now that the crown princess is gradually maturing, I can be more distracted to cultivate the avenue." Completely let go, and think about it is just around the corner. ”

Completely put down?

Yiyan's eyebrows jumped, and a gleam flashed in his lowered eyes.

Compared with the emperor's please, the queen's reaction was diametrically opposite, she called Li Chengxiu over, criticized it well, said that women are more important in meekness, and asked Li Chengxiu to do less things. Li Chengxiu naturally did not admit that she broke up with the Xu family sisters, but only said that it was because they were not young, and it was not good to keep them for fear of delaying their marriage.

The queen naturally didn't believe Li Chengxiu's words, but there was no need to expose Li Chengxiu's lies, because all she wanted was to put her "mother-in-law" prestige in front of Li Chengxiu.

Speaking of which, this is something that the queen has often done recently, and from time to time she shakes her majesty with Li Chengxiu, which makes Li Chengxiu so inexplicable.

Later, it was Qian Yong who solved Li Chengxiu's doubts, saying that Concubine Xiao Xian, who was making trouble in the temple, attempted suicide. Concubine Xiao Xian's suicide softened the emperor's heart, in the end, it was a husband and wife, and the emperor had to mention the marriage of the seventh prince and Wang Qingluan again, which made the queen very unhappy.

-- The Seven Princes made a trick of ecstasy, and made that Wang Qingluan so obsessed with meat and vegetables, telling Wang Qingluan to go east and her east, and Wang Qingluan to go west to her past. It is rumored that the queen has found out that Wang Qingluan was instructed by the Seven Princes in the last Furong Garden Spring Banquet case.

I also heard that Wang Qingluan had disrespectful words towards the queen. Come to think of it, although the queen is now noble and says nothing in front of the emperor, but the throne has changed in the end, and the queen is about to be "out of breath" when Prince Yihuai dies. If the Wang family and Concubine Xiao Xian succeeded, the wealth of the Wang family would fall on Wang Qingluan, Wang Qingluan was not a well-bred woman, and it was strange that she was arrogant.

The marriage of the Seventh Prince and Wang Qingluan was finally put on the agenda, set for the sixth day of the eighth month, just when the emperor returned to Luoyang from the northern capital, and the emperor asked Li Chengxiu to start working on it now.

Li Chengxiu received the order, and he did not lightly follow the old practice, because there is a case to follow, and there is nothing difficult to follow. The difficulty is where the money comes from.

I have to say that Wang Miqing smashed Hou Shangshu to death with that golden gourd, and the emperor was furious, and sent Qi Tai to take someone to raid the homes of thirty or forty ministers, which really copied a lot of money, but Wudan was allocated to help the victims.

Li Chengxiu sighed: "Concubine Qiao is difficult to cook without rice!"

Wu Dan couldn't stop laughing, and after laughing, he sent two words to Li Chengxiu: "Simple!"

Glancing at Wu Dan angrily, Li Chengxiu said, "I don't bear that notoriety!"

Li Chengxiu's plan is that she just has to draw up plans for various grades, and the queen will decide which one to choose.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was late June, and the victims of the Guannai Province and Hedong Province had been pacified, and good news came from the two places one after another, so that Wu Dan breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that his breath hasn't been completely relaxed, and His Majesty the Emperor has summoned him again.

According to the results of the Fuping, the emperor must leave Chang'an before July, otherwise there will be a great disaster! Yes, His Majesty the Emperor really can't sit still.

In fact, Wu Dan was moved by Li Chengxiu, and he also realized that it was not good to visit Luoyang, so he kept "dragging" with the emperor, and found various reasons to delay it until late June. The emperor also knew that the court was difficult, and Wudan was a solid court, and he couldn't bear to embarrass him, but when it came to his own life and death, the emperor really couldn't sympathize with Wudan anymore. The emperor urged Wudan several times, and personally summoned the relevant officials to inquire, but the results were not as good as he wanted, so His Majesty the Emperor made an astonishing move! -- He actually packed up a few burdens and prepared to take the queen and the two of them on the road by himself!

Li Chengxiu was sweating profusely, Wu Dan was so angry that his liver hurt, and he was going to kill Yiyan again by copying the knife, so Li Chengxiu persuaded him to talk badly.

This time it really can't be delayed, and Wu Dan has no choice but to accept his fate.

Fortunately, the preparations made before have also been made, but they have not been used until they are ready, and it doesn't take much effort.

Because most of the money was used for disaster relief, and the emperor added the matter of visiting the northern capital, the procedures and expenses of traveling to Luoyang could only be simplified. Fortunately, the emperor did not go to Luoyang's honor guard, he wanted to go to the northern capital first.

On this day, Feng Ying, who had recovered from his injuries, brought extremely bad news to Li Chengxiu and Wudan, and Li Chengxiu was taken aback when he heard it: "What? The emperor and we will go separately? I will go to Luoyang with the prince, and he and the queen will go to the northern capital?"

"Yes, this is the common meaning of the queen mother and the emperor, no one in Luoyang can guard it, it is good that Your Majesty and the mother have the seven princes by their side. Feng Ying said.

Feng Ying clearly said that this was the queen's idea, what did the queen do?

Of course Wudan does not do it, although the disaster in the northern capital has subsided, but there are still many hidden dangers left unfinished, the emperor's trip will not be smooth sailing, if there is something good on the way, Wudan is not around, if someone makes a "dune coup" what to do?

Looking at the queen's posture, if someone really makes a "dune coup", she may sing the leading role!

Is the queen's brain broken? Or is she and the Xiao family, or the Wang family reaching some kind of agreement?

What a headache?

Can't these people be relieved?

You must not sit still, Wu Dan hurriedly went to see the emperor, but was stopped by Feng Ying: "Your Royal Highness Jizi don't go, it's useless to go, but it makes the emperor dislike." ”

"What should I do?"

"What should I do?"

Lee Sung-so and Wu Dan visited each other at the same time.

"Go and beat up Yiyan!"

"Go and beat up Yiyan!"

It was another time in unison, Li Chengxiu and Wu Dan looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Li Chengxiu held his stomach and smiled: "Don't you want to be so tacit, it's really not needed." ”

"Why not? I think it's good. Wu Dan said.
