In the fifth year of Taihe, October Jiashen, the third quarter of the first day of Shen.

Chang'an, Wannian County, Jing'an Fang, Li Xiangfu.

The relatives immediately saw that the head of the family already had an idea in his heart, so he smiled knowingly, "It's all Ah Lang who has thought through and calculated this trick!" ”

Li Zongmin's fingers overlapped, and he didn't react to the flattery of his family. He is high in Zaifu, under one person and above 10,000 people, he has long practiced vicious and ruthless vision and methods, and he is even more calloused when he hears the praise from his colleagues and subordinates. His life principle can be summed up in three ways: the enemy is impermanent, the friend is sometimes, and the friend is the enemy. These three sentences are actually from the "Luo Weaving Sutra" made by the cool official of the Wu Zhou Dynasty - Lai Junchen, although it is widely spurned by the official, but it is precisely with these three points that Li Zongmin was able to defeat Li Deyu, a very popular minister, and he has been in the phase for nearly two years.

"By the way," Li Zongmin sat up straight, and suddenly remembered, "I heard that there was a fire in Shanhe Li a while ago?" ”

"Exactly, fortunately, it was burned a ruined ancestral hall that was set to be demolished by the Ministry of Yu last year," the family said, "At that time, there happened to be a fire in the fang, and the fire was under control......"

"Go to the year?" Li Zongmin suddenly grasped the suspicion, the folds of his head were deeply embedded in his forehead, and he muttered to himself, "Why has the Zoroastrian Temple, which was scheduled to be demolished last year, not started construction until now, and there is still a fire?" ”

Li Zongmin put the matter down first, and then asked, "How about the casualties of the people and the damage in the workshop?" ”

"Uh...... "The relatives raised their hands, "The people are safe, but more than a dozen charred corpses were found in the fire, and after identification, it seems that they are guarding Lang ......"

"Catcher?" The fine lines between Li Zongmin's eyebrows deepened, "Why are they in the Waste Ancestral Hall?" ”

"The slave doesn't know very well, it is said that he did not die in the fire, but was killed by a blunt object......" The family thought for a moment, and then rolled his eyes and said, "Or ...... The slave will send someone to ask the Chang'an County Order and ask him to investigate it carefully? ”

"Don't ...... it yet" Li Zongmin waved his hand, his intuition told him that there were some articles behind the fire in this ruined ancestral hall, and he was afraid that it was a big article. The fire and death are secondary, after all, the casualties of the people are not of great importance to the prime minister. At the moment, it is best not to move at first, so as not to cause extraneous branches. But how to squeeze some benefits out of this matter is the key!

The Prime Minister's eyes lit up, there it is!

"Shanheli is close to the imperial city, and it is fortunate that the fire is under control, otherwise it will spread to the palace city, and the disaster will be great......" Li Zongmin paused for a moment, and said secretly, "When such a thing happens, and innocent people are killed, Jing Zhaoyin is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the blame, right?" ”

Thinking about it.

The new Jing Zhaoyin is Wang Fan, and Wang Fan is promoted by Mu Qingchen. The family immediately understood, in fact, the topic has not changed, Ah Lang is mentioning Jing Zhaoyin Wang Fan on the surface, but in fact, he is still pointing at Mu Qingchen!

What does Ah Lang mean...... "The family arched his hand to the head of the family" is to take advantage of this fire to let the officials make a document and knock Wang Fan? ”

"You can't say that," Li Zongmin smiled, the folds of his cheeks covered up some of the cunning at the corners of his mouth, "I know Wang Fan, this person is just a profit-seeking villain, and now the position of Shangshu Youcheng is vacant, and it is fat, just transfer him." Wang Fan's seniority is old, and he was promoted by this rookie Mu clan, so the saint will never have any concerns......"

There was a look of admiration in the eyes of the relatives, which was a very good plan. Although Mu Qingchen was promoted to Zaifu, he still held the position of Shangshu Zuocheng in front of the prime minister.

Let Wang Fan be transferred to Shangshu Youcheng, on the surface, it makes Wang Fan and Mu Qingchen have a closer relationship, which is a human move, and outsiders will never criticize it; The second is to sell Wang Fan a favor, and secretly convey a message to Wang Fan, but it is still Ah Lang and Niu Xiang who are in power today, don't think that the court is going to change because of Mu Qingchen's appearance; At the same time, the important position of Jing Zhaoyin can be vacant again, and Mu Qingchen can only suffer a dumb loss.

"That'...... Do you want Yang Yuqing to speak to the saint immediately? ”

"No!" Li Zongmin shook his head, changed his sitting position, and pondered for a moment, "The sage has promoted this friendless and non-party Mu clan as the ruler, although he has never expressed it on the surface, but this must be a move to fight the party. Therefore...... He who speaks shall not be a man whom is close to me......"

“…… You go and arrange it, send a competent subordinate to Jinggongfang, and send a message to Li Guyan, this person is the champion of the seventh year of Yuan He, and we are born in the imperial examination, and I personally promoted it to the five products to the matter; He is also of the same sect as Li Deyu, and by his words, the saint will have nothing to worry about! ”

After Li Zongmin's words were finished, the family suddenly had an epiphany, and hurriedly sang to the head of the family, "That kid will send someone to inform Li Guyan......" After the family finished speaking, he was about to retreat, but suddenly Li Zongmin stopped and said, "In addition, wait a little while to prepare the car, I want to go to the fire site to investigate the ......"

"Whoa!"

After the family left, Li Zongmin asked the attendants and maids to retreat, he slowly got up from the chair, and walked leisurely to a compartment on the east side of the retreat room.

Although this compartment is small, except for the side walls, there are towering bookcases and bookshelves, which are filled with rubbings of salt and iron from various places in the past ten years, and the details are not under the official government. Some of the progress reports after Li Zongmin's visit to the prime minister were even more detailed than the original products.

On the side wall of the compartment hangs a full map of the Tang Dynasty of the Yuan and Nian Dynasty, both in length and width, covering almost half of the wall. The 48 feudal towns and 215 state capitals of the Tang Dynasty are all listed, and the hydrological passes are also noted, which can be described as extremely detailed.

Ironically, this picture was made by the late Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty and the Duke of Zhao Guo Li Jifu, who is also the father of Li Deyu, the current envoy of the Xichuan Festival. Li Zongmin wanted to remove this picture countless times, but it was really difficult to find a replacement, so he had to rely on this, and he didn't leave the room on weekdays, so he couldn't see it and was not upset.

Li Zongmin held his hands on his body and looked at the whole map, and finally fixed his eyes on a state capital in Hedong Province, which was marked as Hanzhou on the map.

"Hanju ......"

Li Zongmin involuntarily read it lightly in his mouth, a pair of Ruifeng eyes narrowed for a moment, and suddenly walked to a bookcase on the westernmost side of the compartment, and by the light of the candle in the compartment, he flipped through the cabinets full of degree branch books for a while, and turned out a report of the current Hedong Festival Envoy Liu Gongqiu, which really found the detailed rules of the degree branches of the counties under the jurisdiction of Hanzhou at the end.

A gust of wind blew through the hall into the retreat room, and the candle flame in the compartment flickered. Li Zongmin lowered his eyes and read the book of the branch for ten breaths, and then silently closed the book and put it back in its place, with a look of joy on his face.

At the beginning of the year, somewhere.

Zhang Yijun's consciousness woke up slowly, he slowly opened his lead-filled eyelids, but was surprised to find that it seemed to be no different from Shicai's closed eyes, his eyes closed and opened, still the same. And there seems to be something slimy in front of the eyelids, and some of them are hot.

What's going on?

Where are you now?

What time is it?

Zhang Yijun regained some of the memories before he fainted, his lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but he found that his throat was burning sharply, and he could only make some syllables hoarsely.

"Brother Yijun? Are you awake? ”

This is...... Li Shangyin?

"Don't move yet, you have ointment and bandages on your eyes......," Li Shangyin continued, "Fang Cai Xibo said, Brother Yi Jun needs to recuperate for two days!" ”

Li Shangyin's voice was full of concern, but there was no sense of anxiety. In this way, it seems that he should not be so seriously injured, it is estimated that it is just some burns, Zhang Yijun thought to himself. But two full days of rest? He couldn't afford to wait...... In other words, the rebels will not wait for him......

“…… What about Your Highness? Zhang Yijun actually wanted to say more than that, but it was actually a bit laborious for him to say these three words.

"Don't worry, Your Highness has returned to the Sixteenth Mansion." Li Shangyin's voice came from his side, "It was His Royal Highness King Yingwang and a few bad people who sent Brother Yi Jun back, and His Royal Highness stayed until it was close to curfew before returning to the Sixteenth Mansion......"

It seems that it is at least time now......

"Sleep. When Brother Yijun wakes up, Yishan will tell you what he has seen and heard today......"
