The court is much quieter today than in the past, and many people gather in the court, without the noisy voices of the past, writing a book, impeaching someone, or yelling over some trivial matter, which is so calm that it makes people's hearts palpitate.

The ministers kept their mouths shut and did not speak, their eyes flickered from time to time, their hesitant gazes, and their hesitant expressions fully expressed their hearts, in front of them, the crown prince Li Hong stood there, weak, his face was a little pale today, sickly pale, and his lips were dry as if he had not drunk water for several days, which made people very heartbroken, but the people around him did not notice his weakness.

Or I saw that there were doubts in my heart, and I didn't say it directly, everyone was planning in their hearts, above these ministers, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi stared at the ministers below, after a sentence, everyone was silent, very quiet, and deep in their hearts were angry, these ministers are cheap, every time there is a serious matter, they all retreat back, you wait for me, I wait for you, no one wants to be the first to come out.

When there are interests, they take action one after another, scrambling, eager for all the benefits to belong to themselves, once there is something that damages the interests, he has shut up, just like now, Li Zhi has a deep face: "None of you Aiqing wants to go to the border?" The people there, the soldiers there need you, my country, my country, my country, I need your protection, which of you wants to go? ”

There are a lot of empty words, righteousness is the supreme, testing the reaction of the ministers below, the ministers don't seem to have heard Li Zhi's words, they are silent, no one is willing to stand up, this errand is not a good errand, didn't you see that Jiang Ke died not long after he went? The news from the border pass shows that the fighting is in full swing there, the hot war is in full swing, and whoever goes will be finished.

They don't want to go to that ghost place, it's not good to enjoy it in Chang'an, who would be so boring and cheap to suffer? This kind of thinking is not only a minister, but most ministers are like this, and a few ministers are eager to try and want to go out, but they hesitate for a minute, and are shocked by the oppressive atmosphere in the court, and they retract their steps and hide behind the ministers in front of them.

The sky fell, and there were tall men on top of it, and it was not their turn anyway.

Li Zhi was very disappointed, very disappointed, he was tired of these ministers who usually had a righteous left and a right to organize training, this was the case last time, and this time it was the same, can't you behave well for a while?

"Hmph."

A cold snort echoed in the court, the whispers disappeared, and the chewing sound was hidden, all of them were silent, panicked, buried their heads in their chests, and did not look at Li Zhi's eyes, even the ministers in front of them lowered their heads, as if there was something beautiful on the ground, worthy of their attention.

"Isn't there anyone who wants to go?"

Li Zhi is fed up with these guys, when he ascended the throne, these people blocked themselves with gossip, embarrassed themselves everywhere, and the country was in trouble, but they didn't care about themselves, and hung high, with my head down, nothing was my business, so he couldn't help but be angry.

Angry, angry staring at each minister, the minister who looked at him lowered his head even lower, his eyebrows tightened, and he held on with his body shaking, Yan Liben was much calmer, and he was not afraid of Li Zhi's gaze, Pei Yan looked directly into the distance lightly, Hao Chujun, Li Yiyan looked at other places, in short, it is none of my business, I am just a civil official, and the matter of fighting is still left to those barbarians.

"Prince."

"The son is here."

"Who does the prince think is suitable?"

Li Zhi was not in the mood to spend it with them, when would it be delayed like this, the border was in an emergency, and he couldn't afford it, the crown prince Li Hong stood up, stood up with a weak body, came out while coughing, and saluted: "Back to my father, my son thinks that Liu Renliang is suitable." ”

"Liu Renliang?"

Li Zhi frowned, with some impressions, he didn't remember this person's appearance very well, and said, "Where is Liu Renliang?" ”

"Weichen Liu Renliang greets Your Majesty."

Liu Renliang stood up from the back of the minister, hurriedly walked to the front, knelt down in front of everyone, Li Zhi raised his eyes, examined them, and nodded in his heart, this person is not a tiger's back, his face is full of anger, from his figure, standing posture, and that strong breath can be known that this person is not an ordinary person, in this regard, Li Zhi took a deep look at Li Hong.

Li Hong turned his eyes a little weakly, and looked at another place in a trance, Liu Renliang is his person, he recommended him to go this time, there are two reasons, one is that this person's combat strength is not weak, arranging troops, leading soldiers is a good hand, this person goes to the battlefield, it can be said that he is like a fish in water, and the day of meritorious service is just around the corner, as for the second reason, that is, he is his own person, prepare in advance, let his foundation stand still, and if something happens in the future, he will not be caught off guard.

"Eun."

Li Zhi didn't say it clearly, he didn't dislike it, he didn't feel sad or happy, Li Hong relaxed a little, since his father was not disgusted, it meant that he didn't object to my proposal, as for them, they were just foils.

"Liu Renliang received the order, I ordered you to be the general of the guard of the border pass this time, all the people and horses at the border pass are ruled by Er, I don't ask about the process, just look at the result, I want those Tubo people not to dare to get closer to my Tang Frontier, can you do it?"

Li Zhi's eyes looked at Liu Renliang coldly, that look couldn't help but he didn't agree, the other adults were shocked when they heard it, and wanted to refute, but they were frightened by Li Zhi's eyes, Li Zhi's eyes were not for Liu Renliang, nor for the crown prince Li Hong, but for them.

That look is to say, if you dare to speak out again, don't blame me for being polite, sure enough, Li Zhi's sharp eyes made these ministers jealous, and they didn't dare to come out to protest, and responded to Li Zhi with silence, Li Zhi waved his hand to let the eunuchs around him give an order, without the minister's stop, Liu Renliang accepted this order very happily, and happily returned to the back to stand.

Li Hong also had a happy face, and returned with satisfaction, his pale face became more energetic, and he solved one thing, Li Zhi still frowned, and glanced at these crooked ministers, few of them were agreeable, the position of the left minister was empty, so many ministers, none of them were able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

"Retreat."

I was powerless to raise my hand, and kept asking myself in my heart, is there no one who can do it when I am in the great court?

It seems that the matter of the imperial examination must start early, Li Zhi looked at the palace that was soon empty, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are incompetent, then I can only choose from thousands of scholars." ”

…………

"How? Have you found out? What the hell is going on? ”

The little girl stood in front, respectfully picked up the teacup, poured a cup of tea, put it in front of the charming woman Wu Meiniang, took two steps back and arched her hand: "Niangniang, according to the results found by the slave maid, Wu Chengsi died in the Qinglou, in order to compete for a prostitute named Yan Lingbin, there was a quarrel with a man named Liu Chichi, and it is said that there was a fight, and then Liu Chichi left the Qinglou. ”

"Wu Chenghe's son followed the prostitute Yan Lingbin into the boudoir, thinking that Liu Chichi would not come back, but not long after, Liu Chichi came back, and he also took a dagger, and directly killed Wu Chenghe's son, there was a maid present at the time, the prostitute Yan Lingbin, and a passing woman, this woman screamed, which let everyone know that there was a bloody case here."

The little girl said a lot of words in one breath, no need to rest, clear language, simple and clear explanation of what happened, she felt that the air gradually solidified, her skin could vaguely sense the cold, shrugged her shoulders and said: "And after that, the people from the Jinwuwei Mansion and the Dali Temple have arrived, investigated the scene, and sent people to search for the murderer Liu Chichi that night, but that Liu Chichi didn't know what method was used, and he didn't appear, until now, he didn't appear." ”

Wu Meiniang nodded with a gloomy face, she couldn't find anyone, what did the people from Dali Temple and Jin Wuwei do to eat, they couldn't even find anyone, anger filled her heart, Wu Meiniang endured that anger and said, "Who is Jin Wuwei and Dali Temple trying this case?" ”

The girl paused, a little hesitant, Wu Meiniang's expression became even more unhappy, the girl saw this, and immediately said: "It's Lord Liu Renliang, and Lord Di Renjie." ”

"Liu Renliang, Di Renjie? The two of them? ”

Wu Meiniang's face became even colder, Liu Renliang didn't say it for the time being, Di Renjie would not find anyone, this is impossible, did he not work hard? The girl understood quickly and said: "Back to Niangniang, Lord Di Renjie went out that night, and it is said that he will not come back until three days later, and all this case will be handed over to Lord Liu Renliang of Jin Wuwei for trial." ”

"Oh? Is that so? ”

Something? There was nothing in the morning, nothing in the evening, but there was something at that time, there was no clue in it, she would never believe it, but since the matter was not tried by Di Renjie, then what did Liu Renliang do?

"Niangniang, Lord Liu Renliang has already set off for the border at noon today."

The little girl suddenly said a sentence, which made Wu Meiniang's face even more gloomy, and she went to the border, which means that all the punishments are gone, Di Renjie is fine, Liu Renliang is fine, and her nephew is dead, or died in vain.

That's how Your Majesty punished?

She couldn't accept the result, but she couldn't resist it.

"Niangniang, Luoyang is ready, I don't know when to leave?"

The little girl sensitively noticed Wu Meiniang's angry eyes, she couldn't mess up, the more she was at this time, the more she couldn't mess up, she had to be shocked, she hurriedly reminded her, Wu Meiniang's angry expression suddenly retracted, changed back to her original cold appearance, and nodded quietly: "I know." ”

The speed of change made the little girl's face a little more stunned.
