177 177: The Empress of the Ages (XV)

Li Jingye was smashed on the head by Li Chen's words, and Li Chen was angry when he saw that he was a little depressed.

None of them are good men and women, nor are they unworldly, and if they have them, they can stop at the point. She has always believed that Li Jingye is a smart person, and since he is a smart person, he will naturally make the most beneficial choice for herself.

Li Chen didn't say anything more, sighed almost inaudibly, and said to Li Jingye: "General, in fact, things are very simple. If you are willing to be used by me, then do not question me. It's like I trusted the general and never questioned you. The general has a knot in his heart, and I hope the general will open the knot as soon as possible. If not, then please keep in mind your identity and position at all times, and you and I will be happy. ”

Li Jingye smiled a little complicatedly, and his eyes fell on Li Chen, "The princess has become a lot now. ”

Li Chen was stunned, "People will change." ”

The vicissitudes of the world, a hundred years later, the vicissitudes of the sea can also become mulberry fields. Born as a human being, the people as a livelihood, as an official for fame and fortune, bustling every day, you come and go, you hide a knife in your smile, a needle in your cotton, how can it not change?

Li Jingye: "That's what I said, all along, in fact, it has been dedication and self-restraint. The princess's words today made the dedication of the mouth suddenly, the princess rest assured, I must always remember my identity and position. ”

Li Jingye thought to himself: As for the heart knot, so be it.

Li Jingye has never looked directly at his own mood, in the past, he wishfully pleased the princess in front of him, but later she chose Song Jing as the concubine, and he was unwilling. Li Chen said that he had resentment in his heart...... Li Jingye walked out of the courtyard where he was gathering with the princess, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, the cold wind that split his head and covered his face poured into him, making his head, which was still a little cloudy, instantly sober.

Li Jingye stood for a long time in the first heavy snow of the winter night, and his hair and clothes were stained with a layer of snowflakes.

He had never been forced to face his heart like tonight, he thought, maybe Li Chen was right, he did have resentment in his heart. He complained that Li Chen obviously didn't have him in his heart, but he favored him and made all kinds of actions towards him that would make him misunderstand, even after she married Song Jing, she did not shy away from it, for his sister Zhang Luo's marriage, paving the way for his career, if there was no Li Chen, he would not be able to get to such a status as he is now.

But it was also because of Li Chen that he had resentment in his heart.

She did it frankly, and told him clearly that in her eyes, Li Jingye was just a person who could be used, and he was willing to follow, so he would have his own high-ranking officials waiting for him, if he was unwilling, she would not force him to stay, and let him fend for himself. And he knows very well what will happen if he is left to fend for himself.

She did everything she could, knowing that he had to follow, but she gave him a chance that seemed to have a choice.

Li Jingye couldn't stop gritting his teeth when he thought of this, but what could he do? Even if he gritted his teeth, even if she was someone else's princess now, with someone else's flesh and blood in her belly, he would still worry about her.

Today's Li Chen, if everything she does is really as she said, is to ensure that the first emperor's country is still the first emperor's surname Li. Then in the future, a group of civil servants led by Song Jing and Di Renjie, perhaps including the generals led by Cheng Wuting, will still have a competition with the power of the Queen Mother.

Li Jingye thought to himself: She abandoned me like a piece, she was ruthless enough, why should I think of these things?

He is willing to run for her before and after the saddle, and even his life is willing to give her, what she cares about is just the foundation left by the first emperor and Song Jing. As for who Li Jingye is, what's the matter?

Li Jingye stood in the wind and snow, calmed down for a long time, and finally thought that since I was willing to give her my life, what could I not do for her? Who is she thinking about and what does it have to do with me? I do these things for myself.

Thinking about it like this, he suddenly seemed to have opened up the second vein of Ren Du.

Don't dare to be the Queen Mother or Princess Changle and Yue King Li Zhen, it is not his choice. Even if the Queen Mother ascends the throne, it is not right, and Princess Changle and Li Zhen are even more unjustifiable, since Li Chen said that after a hundred years of the Queen Mother, the surname of the country is still Li, why should he believe her?

Anyway, he is alone and has nothing to worry about.

And Li Chen, who sent Li Jingye away, didn't know the thousands of turns in Li Jingye's heart at this time, but in her opinion, many things are not simple A sentence like I have my hardships can be explained in a few words, Li Jingye can naturally think about it, and it doesn't matter if he can't think about it, in short, he got on the boat, and there was no way to turn back.

Thinking about it like this, Li Chen suddenly felt that he was really good at tricking people, and Song Jing was also put on the boat by her in this way.

Li Chen drank the goat's milk and got up, only to stand up, a figure with the wind and snow in the winter night walked in, Li Chen was stunned, "Guangping? ”

Song Jing looked at her with a smile on her face, and said softly while patting the snowflakes on her body: "I thought about it and felt that I should come over to accompany you for two days." ”

Li Chen: "But aren't you going to interrogate Hou Sizhi tomorrow?" ”

"That one will be put aside for the time being, I have already told the person who told the Yushitai that I am not feeling well, and I will take sick leave tomorrow and the next two days."

Song Jing approached, stretched out his long arm and took her into his arms, he probably came out on horseback, so the clothes on his body were frozen, and when Li Chen's face touched the fabric on his body, he was also frowned by the coldness.

Li Chen's voice rubbed a smile, "Yu Shi Zhongcheng lied about sick leave like this, it is inevitably too capricious. ”

When Song Jing heard this, he smiled but didn't say anything, and his eyes fell on the wine glass on the table.

Li Chen followed his gaze and said to him: "I saw Li Jingye here just now, he said that he was hunting today and missed the time to close the city gate, so he came to Shu Ye to take him in for a night. ”

"I remember that the British public should have a token of passage."

And it is fake to come to Shu Ye to take him in for a night, but it is true to come to Li Chen.

"The token is used for things that must enter the city, and the army pays attention to military orders, and as a general, he naturally can't pretend to be public and private."

Song Jing listened, and his face was expressionless: "Oh, in this way, I used the token to go out of the city, and I was a fake public servant." ”

"Poof." Li Chen couldn't help laughing.

Since the showdown between her and Song Jing, although Song Jing can't say that she has a good impression of Li Jingye, when she mentions Li Jingye, she won't eat jealousy. But I don't know what happened tonight, Song Jing, who hasn't eaten dry vinegar for a long time, rarely has a bit of vinegar in his words.

Li Chen turned around and faced him. Song Jing's hand rested on her waist very naturally.

Li Chen raised his head, scraped the man's extra good-looking jaw with his index finger, and a rather happy smile flashed in his beautiful eyes, "Well, Guangping is so fake for me to help my own personal interests, I am very happy in my heart." Why don't you go back to the room with me, and I'll let Shu Zhi and them prepare some snacks and wine, and I'll warm the wine for you myself, how about it? ”

Song Jing was made to lose her temper at all, and took her out, "Have a drink, but it's too late, princess, it's time for you to rest." ”

Li Chen walked out with him very obediently.

The two went back to the room together, Shu Zhi and the others tidied up the quilt on the couch, helped Li Chen change his clothes, and retreated. Li Chen's whole body was nested in the quilt, there was no sleepiness in his eyes, and he looked at Song Jing's figure walking around the room.

Song Jing changed her clothes and came over, looking at her still very energetic, she got on the couch a little helplessly and hugged her into her arms.

"Sleeping too much during the day?"

Li Chen lay in his arms, one hand unconsciously lingering on his shirt, and his tone was a little lazy, "I didn't sleep during the day, but now I don't feel sleepy." ”

Song Jing smiled and kissed her forehead, tucked the quilt, and confirmed that she was wrapped tightly, "Didn't you sleep during the day because of Hou Sizhi's wife?" ”

Li Chen: "That woman's appearance was too coincidental. ”

Song Jing: "Do you suspect that someone is behind it?" ”

Before Li Chen could speak, Song Jing said again: "This matter is indeed too coincidental, these days have been done several times in a row these people who have been brought out by Junchen, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, not to mention that these people are all evil. ”

"I have asked Shu Zhi to secretly follow Hou Sizhi's wife to see if there is any discovery."

Song Jing hugged her, his expression was heavy, and after a while, he could only hear him say slowly: "You are different from the past, so you will have less leisure these days, and leave this matter to me first." For a while, I have been sorting out the cases of Junchen and others, and I have a general understanding of who has been active and who has moved. Today, someone stopped the sedan chair when you arrived at the other hospital, and the other party probably warned us. ”

It is said that one pregnancy is stupid for three years, Li Chen has no feeling for the future tense of being stupid for three years, but now it is a fact that he is becoming more and more lazy to use his brain. Moreover, the power of the Mo family and Lingyin Temple can only be regarded as a private force, and the civil power has been investigating these things in the court for a long time, and perhaps not as much as someone like Song Jing who has handled the case. He handled the case himself, and he knew best who would hurt if he wanted to remove a nail.

Now that he is rarely willing to solve his doubts, Li Chen followed his words and asked, "Who is the other party you are talking about?" “

Song Jing touched one of her green silks and didn't speak for a long time.

Li Chen didn't urge him, he lay in his arms, from the original little sleepiness, lying on his stomach until he was drowsy. She discovered one thing, since she was pregnant, as long as Song Jing was by her side when she couldn't sleep, even if he didn't do anything, he just hugged her like this, and it actually had its own hypnotic effect, which was much better than the hypnotic effect of her counting stars and sheep.

Li Chen was waiting for Song Jing to speak, but he didn't wait for a long time, and pushed his chest with some dissatisfaction. However, the man did not move, his chin resting on the top of her head, and his expression was thoughtful.

Just when Li Chen was about to fall asleep, she heard Song Jing say, "I think it may be Ji Xuan." ”

Ji Ji?

Li Chen, who was already drowsy, woke up a little when she heard this name, she knew that this person, although he was also a cool official, compared to Junchen's people, this cool official could be regarded as having a bottom line. After his mother executed Lai Junchen, it was also this person who said that Lai Junchen was a thief of the country, so what was the pity of dying? Li Chen heard it at the time, and he had a good impression of him, although they were all cool officials, but this cool official had a little more human touch among a bunch of brutal people. But the human touch can't change the fact that he is a cool official, and cool officials deserve to die.

Li Chen thought in a daze, and heard Song Jing say again: "This person has come to inquire once or twice after I took over Hou Sizhi's case, but I haven't seen him say anything, just ask when he will be convicted and sentenced." If it's really him, I wonder why he did this? ”

Maybe it's their internal dog-eat-dog, he wants to know when Hou Sizhi will die, so that his relatives and enemies can be happy, or maybe he has a very unusual relationship with Hou Sizhi, and when he saw Hou Sizhi's wife begging him, since he couldn't come forward in person, he had to let Hou Sizhi's wife play the sympathy card to find her?

Ji Ji is quite far-sighted in a group of brutal and cool officials, why did he let Hou Sizhi's wife stop the sedan chair? Li Chen really wanted to tell Song Jing what she thought in her heart, but the sleepiness that had not come for a long time had gently surrounded her at this time, and she had not had time to say the doubts in her heart, so she had already fallen asleep in the company of Song Jing's body temperature.

Yuan's sedan chair was indeed instructed by Ji Ji behind his back

Ji Ji and Song Jing said: "It's not a pity for Hou Si to stop dying, he also had a relationship with me in the past, and his wife came to me for help. Yu Shi Zhongcheng should understand that flies don't bite seamless eggs, Ji Ji does things for the Queen Mother, and he naturally understands in his heart that he may also fall to such a fate in the future. I can't come forward to ask for extrajudicial favors from Yu Shizhong, but Hou Sizhi's wife may be able to take the initiative to show affection to the princess, who are going to be mothers, and if the princess thinks about what will happen to the child in her womb without a father, she will probably understand that she should not be so desperate at this time. ”

When Song Jing heard this, he sneered: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, Hou Sizhi's case was handed over to me by the Queen Mother, about Hou Sizhi's framing of Zhongliang, the evidence is conclusive, I will be sentenced according to the crime, how can I kill everything?" After a pause, he looked at Ji Ji with cold eyes, and his tone was aggressive, "Or in the eyes of the others, you think that the laws of the Tang Dynasty are just a page of waste paper and do not need to be obeyed?" ”

Ji Ji was forced to ask by Song Jing like this, and he was not stage frightened, and his expression was very subtle.

In fact, speaking of which, Ji Ji didn't mean anything else, Hou Sizhi was handed over to Song Jing by Wu Zetian. Song Jing hated these people who ignored the laws of the country, and as a cool official, who didn't bear the lives of innocent people? Hou Si stopped in Song Jing's hands, which was a dead end. But since his wife asked for help everywhere, and even found him, after coming to Junchen and others to subjugate the law, now these cool officials think that he is the only one, and everyone is waiting to see how he will treat the Yuan family, he happened to remember that when he went to the palace to see the queen mother, he overheard the queen mother say that Princess Yongchang planned to go to the other courtyard after having a body. He just let go of his tone and said that instead of looking for the iron-faced and selfless Song Jing, it is better to find Princess Yongchang, who is also a woman, and now that the princess has a body, she may be willing to accumulate virtue for the child in her womb.

So Yuan, who hadn't studied much, went to stop Li Chen's sedan chair.

When Li Chen learned the whole story, he couldn't cry or laugh. But Ji Ji is a good person in the pile of cool officials, and he is an out-and-out damned person in the good people, but whether he deserves to die or not, his mother wants to protect him now, and Li Chen is too lazy to toss, anyway, after these big cases, the cool officials group has been greatly damaged in a short period of time, and they dare not be as rampant as before.

Three months later, Li Jingye suppressed the rebellion of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and the princess of Changle won the victory, and the king of Yue, Li Zhen and the princess of Changle, fought with the army of the imperial court in Yuzhou, and held out for ten days, the army was defeated like a mountain, and the two families of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and the princess of Changle all committed suicide by poisoning on the day of the city's break.

In the first year of Tianzhu, the Ming Hall was completed, and the Queen Mother changed the Ming Hall to the Vientiane Shrine, and specially ordered the governors of all states in the territory and the assassin to go to Luoyang to participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky.

Luoshui Shentu was changed to a heavenly holy map, Luoshui was holy water, fishing was prohibited, and Songshan was sealed as Shenyue.

At the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, the sage proposed to give up the emperor's throne, but the queen mother thought it was inappropriate and did not allow the sage to take the throne.

In the early summer of the first year of Tianzhu, Princess Yongchang gave birth to Lin'er and named Song Yu.

The Queen Mother was overjoyed and granted amnesty to Luoyang.
