Chapter Twenty-Three: Oath?

Jiang Mi bowed her head and replied: "Yes, it was the courtiers who chatted with those grain dealers when they went to the market to buy grain, and I heard those grain dealers say that the grain in the southwest has rarely appeared in Shu in the past two years, and they also said that the wind and rain in Shu are smooth, and there are bumper harvests everywhere, so no one cares if there is grain in the southwest." ”

It is not uncommon for grain sellers to know such things.

What really made the ministers in the study look at Jiang Mi was that this girl was so young, but she could see a possible crisis in such ordinary-sounding words!

This little girl should not be underestimated!

The Emperor nodded imperceptibly and said, "Yes, I remember that you also liked to observe these things when you were in Fengxian. ”

With that, the Emperor turned his head.

After glancing at the courtiers, the emperor frowned and said, "Li Aiqing, why are you sweating all over your head?" ”

Jiang Mi and Fan Yu turned their heads to look, and saw that the old minister standing in the corner and frequently wiping sweat with a handkerchief was none other than Li **'s father, Master Li.

As soon as Lord Li heard the emperor's question, he immediately took a step forward and knelt on the ground, saying, "Your Majesty forgives me!" The minister thought of the minister's daughter**, who had just returned from the southwest at the beginning of the year. Minister, the minister is worried that after the matter of the southwest reaches Shudu, there will be rumors in the world, and some unpleasant words will be pressed on my son......"

Almost as soon as Lord Li's words fell, the faces of the Fan family and his son changed, especially Fan Yufeng and Fan Yuxiu, who were about to grit their teeth at this time.

You must know that in the past few days, they have not only investigated the grain hoarding in the southwest, but also discussed Li **'s family in detail. In the end, Fan Yuxiu remembered that Li ** had always looked down on her before, and she had been close to her many times for no reason since she came back from the southwest at the beginning of the year. Moreover, it was also Li ** who said that he wanted to introduce Fan Yufeng to the southwest.

In this matter, King Zhao, who arranged for Fan Yufeng to go to the southwest, did not make the Fan clan suspicious, after all, firstly, this matter was asked by Li ** for them to go to King Zhao's door, and secondly, although King Zhao has the right to transfer the generals, in essence, he has always disagreed with letting the Fan family go to the southwest.

It was precisely because the father and son of the Fan family were suspicious of Li ** that they originally planned to come back today to investigate Li **'s affairs.

But they didn't expect that this Li **'s father was scheming and made a decision in front of the emperor immediately!

Although, because of what Li **'s father said, the Fan family and his son became more and more suspicious of the Li family and Li **, but at the same time, their idea of revenge against Li ** had to be interrupted.

In the study, when the emperor heard Lord Li say this, he shook his head and said, "Your daughter is just a woman, what a big deal is the treason of the Jiang family, how can she let her know?" Li Aiqing's worries are superfluous. ”

After the emperor stamped his conclusion, he was already a little tired, so he waved his hand and said in a dumb voice: "Okay, let's all step aside, about the matter of the southwest, you can quickly decide how to deal with it!" ”

The ministers hurriedly replied: "Yes." One by one, they retreated.

Jiang Mi was a little unwilling when she retreated, because she subconsciously felt that if Li ** escaped this time, it would be endless troubles for her!

However, when she was in the hall just now, firstly, there was no room for her to speak, and secondly, she thought about it and never thought of a way to climb down Li **, but she could make herself unharmed.

Could it be that this matter is not settled?

When Jiang Mi was unwilling, all the ministers were discussing the matter of the southwest, and the Fan Yufeng brothers and sisters glared at Li **'s father with hatred.

Li **'s father is a powerful minister who has stood in the court for more than ten years, and he didn't see the dissatisfaction of the Fan brothers and sisters? But this matter in the court has always been a popular stab in the back, and as for the face, it is all smiling. For example, Master Li, at this moment, he smiled very kindly at the white eyes of these juniors.

It's just that when the group was about to walk to the palace gate, Master Li suddenly turned around, waved at Jiang Mi, and said with great emotion: "The old man and the people of the world have to thank Princess Yihua this time." If it weren't for the princess's reminder, if he waited for the Jiang thief to launch calmly, I don't know how many more people would die in my Shu country! ”

When Master Li said this, his voice was extremely sincere, and when he looked at Jiang Mi's eyes, he was even more kind and loving.

But the more he was like this, Jiang Mi was afraid. Previously, she only suspected that Li ** knew about the rebellion in the southwest, but now when she saw Lord Li's appearance, she suddenly understood, she was afraid that the Li family was also planning to profit in the rebellion in the southwest.

And now, their wishful thinking has been broken by themselves!

She had just come to Shudu, and when her foothold was unstable and her power had not yet succeeded, she offended such a big family as the Li family! Offended a vicious fox like Li's father Li **!

Thinking of this, Jiang Mi's face was so gray that it was okay.

At this time, the ministers were about to disperse, and when they heard Master Li praising Jiang Mi, they turned around. They were about to follow behind Master Li to praise Jiang Mi, a smart little girl, when they suddenly saw that as soon as Master Li finished speaking, Jiang Mi was not only not happy, but her face was as white as snow as if she was frightened, and she couldn't help but look at each other.

As soon as Master Li's words were finished, a minister asked curiously, "Why is Princess Yihua sweating like pulp, looking frightened?" ”

Jiang Mi was indeed sweating like pulp, and she was so frightened that her lips were trembling at this time. Hearing the adult's question, she said unabashedly, "I, I...... I'm afraid of Master Li...... Li ** is very powerful, Lord Li is such a big official, he must be even more vicious. I, I'm bad for their bureau in the southwest, they won't let me go......" Speaking of the back, Jiang Mi's voice was full of despair.

Master Li: "......"

Ministers: "......"

Fan's family: "......"

Because although Jiang Mi stammered, the words he spit out were round, so the ministers didn't feel that they had heard it wrong. They just looked at Jiang Mi in disbelief for a while, and then they all turned their heads to look at Master Li one by one.

At this time, Li **'s father had repented to the extreme. spared him for being cunning for a lifetime, and he didn't expect Jiang Mi, a little girl, to be so uncontrollable. She, she actually said such heart-wrenching words directly in front of everyone based on guessing!

For a while, Lord Li was so angry that his whole body trembled, he stretched out his index finger and pointed at Jiang Mi "You ......" for a while, his voice sank, and he shouted: "Princess Yihua, you can eat this meal indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" You are so stubborn, don't blame the old man for not giving face! ”

After drinking this, Lord Li saw that those ministers were still staring at him, especially the Fan father and son, and he was already thoughtful!

Originally, there was no one who was an official in the DPRK and China who did not have two or three political enemies, and Master Li thought hatefully: As soon as today's events are said by this little slut, I am afraid that those who originally came to see me would take the opportunity to attack!

Thinking of this, Master Li suddenly ordered: "Someone! Princess Yihua was instructed to slander her own official. Bring her down! This time, I have to ask for clarification no matter what! ”

As soon as Master Li's voice fell, the sound of footsteps and footsteps rang out, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen elite soldiers were murderously pressing towards Jiang Mi.

Seeing these soldiers approaching, Jiang Mi trembled with fear, and in a panic, she shouted to Lord Li: "Lord Li, do you dare to swear? Do you dare to swear to God? ”

Swear? Master Li sneered, a person like him, I don't know how many lives he has had in his hands in his life, I don't know how many unjust souls he has created, and he has long been disbelieving in karma.

At that moment, Master Li sneered gloomily: "Do you want this official to swear? Well, although as the daughter of an adulteress in the previous dynasty, you are not worthy of what this official does. But this official is worthy of the sky, worthy of the earth, and worthy of the world. Therefore, this official is willing to swear once today! ”

Speaking of this, Lord Li raised his right hand towards his head and shouted: "The sky is above, if this official has any involvement in the rebellion in the southwest, the sky will be thundered!" ”

After Lord Li said this, he sneered at Jiang Mi and said, "Princess Relict Flower, this official said this, but is it enough?" ”

Unexpectedly, he was still sneering at Jiang Mi here, but behind him, a general said in a trembling voice: "Big, adult, on the head, on the head, on the head, on the head ......"

"On what's head?" Master Li had a cold face. He was about to scold, but suddenly saw that the ministers scattered around him were looking at the sky together.

Master Li was startled, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky......
