Chapter Forty-Eight: The Emperor Is Suspicious

According to Li Chu's plan, if Li Jingyao had seen Wang Fu's complaint, he would have questioned Hua Shen in the early dynasty, but he didn't. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Yongnan couldn't help it, and looked back at Li Chu frequently, seeing Li Chu's indifferent appearance, he was even more anxious, seeing that Li Jingyao was about to announce his retirement from the dynasty, he still didn't hold back, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty!" Lao Chen...... There's something to do! ”

"What is the Prime Minister's doing?" Li Jingyao frowned, he didn't like Zhou Yongnan very much, especially when he had something to do, he didn't want to pay attention to it with a headache.

Especially recently, he played an official at every turn, and he had to do something to do, which made Li Jingyao angry several times, but the old immortal in front of him still looked stubborn, relying on his old age and high qualifications.

This is also the reason why Li Chu didn't want to remove Hua Shen directly through Zhou Yongnan, but the prime minister had already spoken: "The old minister recently heard that there is a place in the city that sells dog meat with sheep's heads......"

He paused when he said this, and thought that Li Jingyao would take the opportunity to ask, "Where is it?" ”

As a result, Li Jingyao didn't react at all, and Zhou Yongnan had no choice but to continue: "Doing filthy things to win people's hearts but giving them an elegant name, it is the most famous Wangxue Tower in the Western Capital!" ”

There were some small and fragmented discussions in the crowd, Hua Shen's face changed greatly, and Li Chu saw that Li Jingyao had a cold face, and there was no other expression except for a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Li Chu already knew that this was just a temptation by Li Jingyao, and Wang was suddenly played, and the matter of the performance was big enough to attract Li Jingyao's attention, but he was not sure whether Wang was instructed by someone and had any purpose, or if he was simply dissatisfied with Hua Shen's actions.

can be made by Zhou Yongnan like this, this simple thing has become not simple, Li Jingyao lazily replied: "Prime Minister, have you ever been to Wangxue Tower?" ”

Zhou Yongnan was stunned by his unprovoked words, he didn't know what to say, there seemed to be laughter around, Zhou Yongnan blushed and said: "The emperor said that he was joking, how could the old minister go to that kind of place......"

"So how did the prime minister find out about this? Is there any evidence? Li Jingyao also smiled faintly, as if he was deliberately not giving Zhou Yongnan face, his eyes swept everyone, and continued, "There are countless such things, since the prime minister can't say why, then I can't do something rashly, let's retreat." ”

Walking out of the main hall, Li Chu saw that Zhou Yongnan was always walking towards him, his eyes were staring at him, and this scene was all seen by Hua Shen, he seemed to be doubting the relationship between Li Chu and Zhou Yongnan.

No matter how deliberately Li Chu avoided it, Zhou Yongnan always followed persistently, his mouth opened and opened, and he always wanted to say something, Sheng Zhi suddenly ran up from behind, stopped Li Chu and said, "General Sima, the emperor invites the general to come over." ”

Li Chu nodded, and when he turned around, he saw the four princes who were next to Hua Shen, and knew that the four princes were about to make a move.

"Chaozong, look at this twist." Li Jingyao said and handed over a notebook, which was written by Wang Funan himself, Li Chu quickly glanced at it, revealing a shocked gaze, "I didn't expect this book of the Ministry of Rites to stretch so far, and it doesn't leak the edge on weekdays, but I really didn't see it." ”

Li Jingyao nodded, and said with a solemn gaze: "I think what is written in this fold is very credible, but I also saw it to you this morning, and the prime minister is biting on this matter, and I am worried about ......."

"Then why didn't the emperor pass on the king in person? In fact, this person has also seen it. Li Chu lowered his voice and said, met Li Jingyao's gaze, and said seriously, "Seriously, in today's troubled court, it is rare to see such a person, whether it is the literati's temperament or the height of thought, the minister has to sigh, the country is full of talented people!" ”

"Oh?" Li Jingyao was interested in what he said, raised his hand to signal Sheng Zhe to invite, and asked again, "Is this person really as good as you say?" ”

Li Chu nodded heavily, and said with a bright eye: "It's several times better than the Ministry of Rites, and I don't know how many times better I see him...... If there are a few more young people like this, the political situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty will be clear! ”

Li Jingyao quite agreed with him, he has always advocated recruiting more young officials, and despised these deep-rooted old ministers, although he has expectations for Wang Fuyi, but in the end he is still worried that he is Zhou Yongnan's person.

"The minister thinks that this person has nothing to do with the prime minister, if he is really instructed by the prime minister, then the prime minister will definitely not be in a hurry to speak in the main hall, besides, this prime minister should also know everything on this fold, and his face was flushed when he was asked by the emperor, and he didn't know it at all, but he just happened to learn about Wangxue Tower and bit Huashen."

Li Jingyao's doubts were finally dispelled by a few words of Li Chu, and it didn't take long for Sheng Zhe to come with Wang Fu, Li Jingyao saw that his eyebrows were clear, his salute was neither humble nor arrogant, and his answers to questions were even more orderly, but there was a trace of stubbornness that adhered to the bottom line.

This made Li Jingyao, who was already looking forward to it, very happy, and after asking for details, he planned to hand over the matter to him, but suddenly saw that Li Chu shook his head, so he asked Wang to retreat first.

"What's wrong? He is a man of manufacturability, so why not leave this matter into his hands? If it is done, he can still show his hairpin horns in the court, and in the future, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites can also be naturally handed over to him. Li Jingyao was puzzled.

Li Chu said seriously: "The minister doesn't think that Wang Fufu has the ability to deal with such a big matter, if he doesn't handle it well, he will be escaped by Hua Shen and others." What's more, the emperor has already refuted the prime minister in the court, and at this time, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to let an unknown hairy boy take on this big responsibility. ”

"Yes, naturally it can't fuel the flame of the prime minister, in your opinion, who should be entrusted with this matter?" Li Jingyao frowned and pondered, and when he heard the three words that popped out of Li Chu's mouth, he raised Tai to look at him in shock.

"The Fourth Prince." Li Chu repeated again, without any joke on his face, "It's only fitting that this matter is left to the fourth prince." ”

Li Jingyao finalized the four princes after a little consideration, and Li Chu withdrew from the main hall with satisfaction, greeted the king who was waiting outside, and said softly: "Be careful when you are in the Ministry of Rites, try not to be discovered by Hua Shen, otherwise you will ......"

"I understand, General." When he arrived at the noon gate, Wang stopped and saluted to Chu and said respectfully, "Then I will take the first step." ”

Li Chu looked at his distant back, his eyelids jumped fast, and he didn't know what was going to happen again, but this road was going to go on after all.
