8. Chapter 8
Suspicious, he followed Yu Shi to the former Changsun Mansion, Li Shao looked up at the plaque that read "Tiance General's Mansion", and only felt that the scene in front of him was familiar and unfamiliar.
Sensing that someone walked to his side and stood still, Li Shao chuckled lightly and said, "I still like the three words 'Changsun Mansion' written by General Changsun himself." β
"But I don't like it." The eldest grandson Boyi smiled self-deprecatingly, and raised his feet to climb the stone steps in front of the mansion gate.
He has already made the surname "eldest grandson" dusty, why should he be embarrassed again?
"I've always regretted it," Li Shao suddenly spoke, his voice was not small, the eldest grandson Boyi who was walking in front could just hear it, and Yu Shi, who was following behind, could also hear it, "If the marriage date had been advanced by two months, would the eldest grandson's mansion be spared?" If I had gone out of the palace to look for you as soon as I received the news, would I have been able to live and die with you in the past ten years? β
The eldest grandson Boyi's footsteps stopped, but he didn't turn his head to look at Li Shao.
"In this world, there are no ifs."
Looking at the stiff back of the eldest grandson Boyi, Li Shao asked again: "Boyi, do you hate me?" β
After being silent for a long time, the eldest grandson Boyi did not answer Li Shao's question, but just took a new step.
The eldest grandson Boyi did not reply that he hated, which made Li Shao quite surprised.
Smiling helplessly, Li Shao took a step to keep up with Changsun Boyi, but his mouth was idle: "You shouldn't leave the palace at this time, there are actually many people who are willing to work hard for Li Zheng." β
If Li Zheng continues to be the emperor, many people can still live a life of spending money, but if the eldest grandson Boyi is allowed to take power, their good days are afraid to come to an end.
The eldest grandson Bo Yi said proudly: "I moved here to give them the opportunity to get close to me. β
"Then why did you bring me?" Li Shao was puzzled.
The eldest grandson Boyi turned his head and glanced at Li Shao at this time, and said, "Your Majesty has allowed me to deal with the Li family's felons with my own hands, and it has always been like this. β
Therefore, everyone who died died at his hands. Moreover, Li Shao is too shrewd, and he is not at ease if he doesn't put people in front of him.
"Your Majesty......" Li Shao pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Bo Yi's relationship with the little emperor seems to be good, and he is going to be jealous.
Seeing Li Shao walk into the small room he had arranged, and personally arrange the guards, the eldest grandson Boyi immediately hurried back to the palace.
He came out this time just to settle Li Shao.
Back in the Xuanzheng Hall of the palace, one foot of the eldest grandson Boyi had just crossed the threshold when he heard Liu Ce's panicked voice.
"General Changsun, they said that Li Zheng fled, what should I do?"
With a frown, the eldest grandson Boyi raised his other foot and stepped over the threshold calmly.
"What's going on?" The eldest grandson Boyi asked Xie Jundao.
Xie Jun arched his hand at Sun Boyi, the eldest child, and said with a smile: "The fifty soldiers sent out to track down encountered an army of five hundred people when they chased them to Qinzhou, and only one who was ordered to come back to report survived. Judging from the information brought back by the soldier, Li Zheng planned to go to Lanzhou and prepare to join the Jingyue army. β
"Who is the commander of Jing Yuejun?" The eldest grandson, Boyi, swung his clothes and sat down in his seat.
Xie Jun replied: "It's Li Zheng's wife's uncle...... The third grandson of the Tai Lieutenant. β
"Captain? Captain Xin? Eldest Sun Boyi raised his eyebrows, "I remember that Taiwei Xin didn't like Li Zheng. β
Among Sejong's sons, Xin Taiwei's favorite is his proud protégé Li Shao, when Sejong established the prince, it was also Xin Taiwei who took the lead in mentioning yì Lixian and not Lichang, who called Li Zheng At that time, he had already shown signs of tyranny and unreasonableness. In that case, how could Taiwei Xin marry his granddaughter to Li Zheng, who he was most unoptimistic about?
Xie Jun didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Yuan Ze who was standing beside him.
Yuan Ze is a member of Shangshu Province who entered Shangshu Province four years ago, and he is the only eyeliner that Changsun Boyi and they risk sending into the court, not because they want him to pass on the news, nor do they want him to make contributions in the chaotic situation, Changsun Boyi and Jiejun just want him to master the situation in the court and Beijing, so as not to know nothing about the situation in Beijing after they enter Beijing.
Of course, Yuan Ze is also a person with some ability, and he has really passed on a lot of useful information to them over the years.
Yuan Ze sighed and said: "Not long after General Changsun's accident, Taiwei Xin resigned angrily and returned to the mountains and forests, without asking about the government. β
Eldest Sun Boyi lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment and said: "Don't ignore Li Zheng for the time being, just set up a few sentry posts between Lanzhou and Chang'an, pay close attention to the movements of the Jing Yue army, make defensive deployments, and wait for him to throw himself into the net." In addition, send someone to find Captain Xin......"
Yuan Ze frowned and said, "But if we don't take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time, won't we lose the best opportunity to kill Li Zheng?" β
"I've missed it," Xie Jun shook his head helplessly, "We have missed the best opportunity to kill Li Zheng on the day of entering Beijing, and now that we have entered the capital, we have not yet controlled the overall situation in Beijing, and General Changsun can't leave." Moreover, our men and horses are already exhausted, and it is not suitable to go to the northwest to fight against the powerful Jing Yue army. That's all there is to it. β
After saying this, Xie Jun walked out of the Xuanzheng Palace, immediately instructed these two things, entrusted them all, and returned to the palace.
The eldest grandson Boyi narrowed his eyes, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, and asked Yuan Zedao, "How many people are available in the court?" β
They have no shortage of military generals, but they are in urgent need of civilian officials, and they can't support the entire court with just him and Xie Jun.
Yuan Ze thought about it carefully before replying: "Most of the people who have held important positions over the years are the Li clan's relatives, and the remaining very few are also fat by currying favor with the Li clan's relatives...... There is one person who is quite special. β
"Who?" The eldest grandson, Boyi and Xie Jun, looked at Yuan Ze at the same time.
"Shangshu Province Zuo Cheng, Yongning."
As soon as he heard this name, Eldest Sun Boyi immediately frowned, and Xie Jun also glanced at Eldest Sun Boyi with some taboo.
Noticing the difference in the expressions of the eldest grandson Boyi and Xie Jun, Yuan Zehu asked suspiciously, "Look at the looks of the general and the military advisor...... Do you know Yongning? β
Xie Jun touched his nose and said, "First of all, tell me what is special about this Yongning?" β
Know? Not only is it acquaintance, then Yongning was once the rival of the eldest grandson!
"Oh." Yuan Ze nodded and said, "My subordinates have heard from colleagues who have been officials for more than ten years that Yongning was originally the companion of the Third Highness, and has always been loyal to the Third Highness, but after the Third Highness disappeared, Yongning immediately entered the court as an official.
At first, he only got a seven-rank position, but within three years, he was promoted to the fourth-grade Shangshu Zuocheng, and he had a good relationship with the Li family.
But from the eyes of his subordinates, this Yongning seems to be close to the Li clan, but in fact it has some meaning of yang and yin, and in recent years, he has not only protected a lot of honest and loyal talents to help the world, but also often deceived the upper and lower places to change the holy oracle privately, and do some things that benefit the country and the people.
It's a pity that his subordinates don't have a deep relationship with Yongning, and they don't know much about this person, so they can't make a more correct judgment about this person. β
After Yuan Ze finished speaking, the eldest grandson Boyi didn't listen to much else, so he only remembered the sentence "After the disappearance of the Third Highness".
"You said the third prince of the Li clan is missing? What's going on here? β
