Li Shuci was so shocked that the cold hairs all over his body suddenly rose, and the next moment, he heard this cold and tough command. There was a faint sense of familiarity in the voice, which made her heart slowly let go. However, a wave of anger and grief rose in his heart. "Lord, my girl is also a human, the cold winter Layue fell in the snow, what a girl, how can you compensate me if it freezes! Please wait here for a while!"

After speaking, she didn't look at the Confucian King, and went to help the green pigeon. The Confucian King's expression was stunned for a moment, he was the ultimate noble person in this dynasty, at the top of the power, no one had ever dared to do this to him, it was just a girl, and he could afford to pay as much as he wanted...... But he saw that the eyes were scorching, like a caged bird in bondage, and in them were unwilling to play with reality and desire for freedom. So, he froze for a moment. For the first time in his life, he wondered if he was thinking wrong......

In fact, Li Shuci regretted it after saying this, after all, he was a stunning prince of this dynasty, and wanting to pinch her to death was as simple as pinching an ant to death, but she had an unacceptable huge resistance to being manipulated by others, and blurted out the words without thinking. She pulled up one of Qingge's arms, but she didn't have so much strength, and helped Qingge's whole person up from the ground, but fortunately, at this time, Lan Xin heard the sound and came over, relieving her embarrassment. The Confucian King took a step back and hid in the shadows.

Seeing this, Lan Xin couldn't help but let out an 'ah' sound!"Girl, what's wrong with Sister Qingge?"

Li Shuci motioned for Lan Xin to come over and take a hand, and the two of them half-lifted and half-hugged the green pigeon into a warm pavilion not far away, and said slowly: "It's nothing, you take care of her, let people guard the yard, and don't let people approach outside the small study." ”

The surprise in Lan Xin's eyes was only for a moment, and he understood the meaning of Li Shuci's words, his eyes looked towards the place where Li Shuci was standing, the shadow in that place seemed to be thicker than usual, and his hands were subconsciously clenched, remembering what Li Shuci said when he asked them to leave before, he was a little panicked, and said, "Girl, be careful." ”

Several girls have their own merits, Lan Xin is the smartest one, Li Shuci knew that she had seen the clues, and gently comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry." ”

Li Shuci walked back to the place, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, tried his best to put his voice softly and softly, lowered his eyebrows and said: "If you are sluggish, please forgive me, please come with me!"

The Confucian King's gaze slowly fell on her face, and he looked at her for a long time before nodding. Li Shuci led him into his small study, the room was as warm as spring, and when she arrived in a familiar environment, her Li Shuci's body slowly relaxed, and her mind and speech became free. Since the Confucian King didn't pursue her rudeness, of course she wouldn't mention it again, but the matter of Fang Cai had not happened, "Lord Shen Ye is here, but what do you have to order?"

The Confucian King looked at Li Shuci's calm face and said, "I came here because I have something to ask you. ”

Li Shuci said respectfully: "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

"What is your relationship with Helian Tao?" King Confucian's face had returned to his usual coldness.

Li Shuci originally thought that the Confucian King would ask if today's events were related to her, but what she heard in her ears was such a question, she thought for a while, and muttered: "Cooperative relationship." ”

The corners of the Confucian king's mouth provoked a hint of sarcasm, "A deep boudoir woman, but she conspires with princes and nobles to frame others at every turn." Can it also be said that everything is your own words, for your own selfishness, regardless of the interests of the family, in a vain attempt to slander the government, and have other motives?"

Li Shuci didn't understand why the Confucian King suddenly turned his face and said sarcastically, she smiled slightly, "So the prince broke into the prime minister's mansion in the middle of the night to investigate the private affairs of important members of the imperial court, is he also interested in the imperial power and plotting for the throne?"

"Sharp teeth!"

"Lord Wang, Ming people don't say dark words, what happened last time must have been clear to the prince. If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and no one is willing to be a fish on the chopping block! All I do is improvisation. Li Shuci was not afraid, since the other party wanted to break the word, she didn't need to look ahead, "I think, with the wisdom of the prince, I won't fail to see the situation of the little girl, when Concubine Yi gives birth to a dragon child, with my grandfather's preference and the ambition of the Shen family, will the Li family still have a place in our three rooms? There are many crises in the open and in the dark, do I have to wait for this catastrophe to come before making a senseless struggle! I don't ask for anything else, I just want my parents and relatives to be safe and healthy!"

King Confucian's lips finally raised slightly, "Then you and Helian Tao wasted so much effort to perform this play, just to get rid of Li Weicheng, and why didn't you let the Shen family bear the consequences?"

Li Shuci smiled bitterly: "The Shen family's power in the court is deep-rooted. Even if this matter is carried by the Shen family, they will only suffer some flesh injuries, and they will not be able to break their muscles and bones. Let Li Weicheng carry this black cauldron, but it can make him lose the possibility of rising in Shangjing, even if the Shen family wins the position of the main wife in the future, it can hinder her plan to encroach on the third room to the greatest extent. Lord, I don't have much ambition, my purpose has never been in the affairs of the government, just to ensure the safety of my family. ”

"Although your purpose is not to govern the government, it has greatly affected the situation of the court. The Shen family originally wanted to use auspicious things to stabilize Concubine Yi's status, build momentum for the child in her womb, and want to have another Queen Shen. The corners of the Confucian King's mouth showed a funny look, "I didn't expect this matter to be disturbed by you, you are fighting for a mere Shen family, aren't you afraid of causing death?"

"The prince is wrong, if the Shen family is just a woman in the back house, how can the Shen family be so valued that Concubine Yi, Shen Yuan and others have deliberately maintained some kind of contact with the Shen family! I think that the identity of a concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not enough! If she is really an ignorant woman in the back house, I, Li Shuci, don't mind strangling her directly, even if the incident is infamous on my back! But things will not be as simple as I thought. I'm afraid the prince doesn't know that the Shen family still holds the token of the former emperor in his hand. ”

The Confucian King's pupils contracted suddenly: "The token of the first emperor?"

Li Shuci nodded, "Well, this is also what has puzzled me all along, the people in the Li Mansion also know very little about this matter, my grandmother accidentally learned about it many years ago, and later told me to know." My ability is limited, and the origin of this token is something I can't touch, so the prince might as well secretly investigate, and maybe he can know if the Shen family and the Shen family have some other unknown things. ”

King Ru looked at the fearless and stubborn little girl in front of him, he really didn't expect that her mind could be so meticulous and delicate at such a young age: "So, what do you want to do next?"

The atmosphere eased down, Li Shuci pursed his lips lightly, and made a pot of tea with the boiling hot water on the red clay stove, the snow-white wrist was like jade in the steaming water, and he held the tea in front of the Confucian King, and then said: "I don't know if the prince has noticed that Shen Shangshu took over the case of the deficit of the four mansions?"

King Confucian's heart moved, "The five capitals of Beijing, except for Shangjing, Hongdu Mansion, Qin Mansion, Huadu Mansion, and Lidu Mansion, all have large and small deficits. This is a hot potato, and Jun has repeatedly put pressure on him, but there is still no result. It's a case that can't be investigated at all, or a case that can't be investigated at all!"

"What the prince said is right, if he really investigates his death, I am afraid that few officials in the entire court will be able to get rid of it, and the king probably does not plan to really get to the bottom of it, how can the moths of the country be eradicated in a while. ”

"Although Chongnan is rich, the state is benevolent and the taxes are exempted, and the silver in the treasury is really not abundant. If you catch up with the border city and start a military disaster, it will be even more stretched. Therefore, the king took this opportunity to blackmail the courtiers openly. His intention was just to use this gimmick to use the wealth of the wealthy eunuchs to replenish the treasury with some silver! Therefore, even if the monarch repeatedly exerted pressure, no one in the court dared to respond. ”

"Chongnan tea, wine, and salt are all sold by officials, as long as interests are involved, it is not good to get into the official, the king wants to change the status quo, racking his brains in this matter! But if he wants to take the meat away from the hands of these cunning and fox-like officials, how can it be so easy! The Shen family took the initiative to bleed, and the king was naturally happy to take it. With her understanding of the Shen family, this matter can't be so simple. Li Shuci's eyes were full of light, and the organization became clearer. But why did Shen Hao take the initiative to take this hot potato? Even for Shen Wenhe, Shen Hao's uncle and nephew, it was not enough for Shen Hao to do this. ”

King Confucius was really a little shocked, what did Li Shuci pay attention to on weekdays, why could she be so clear about the court situation. "You mean...... Shen Hao had the intention to take over this matter for a long time, but this time he just took advantage of the situation?"

"Lord Wang is wise, that's exactly the case!" Li Shuci smiled confidently, she hadn't figured it out before, but when Qian Zhongxin said this to Li Yu today, she suddenly understood what Shen Hao's heart was!

The Confucian King looked at Li Shuci deeply and asked, "You already know Shen Hao's purpose?"

"Nine times out of ten!" Li Shuci thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang, think about it, why can't this matter be investigated? It is because this matter is widely implicated, and the law does not blame the public, and it is impossible for the monarch to pull out all the officials of the four prefectures and behead them! Shen Hao knew the king's intentions, and took over this matter generously, at most he lost some financial resources. For the Shen family, what is it? However, now that the Shen family has received this errand, they can openly go to check the officials of the four prefectures. Everyone didn't take it seriously, but what if the Shen family took this matter seriously?

King Confucian's eyes flashed, "The Shen family can find out the handle of these officials openly, and then hold it in their hands!
