Chapter 176: Backhand Strike

The book is picked up again.

"Li Zhi Li Xingzhi has seen Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will be blessed with Jin'an."

On the top of the main hall, Li Zhi bowed respectfully to Emperor Han Ling.

"Hmm" Liu Hong nodded, raised his hand weakly and said, "I'm very safe, Aiqing is flat." ”

After Li Zhi got up, he was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Emperor Han Ling's interjection: "I heard that you blackmailed Wang Qing on the street today?" ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he suddenly raised his head and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "There is absolutely no such thing, where did Your Majesty hear it?" ”

"Humph!" Seeing that Li Zhi dared to do something and didn't dare to admit it, Liu Hong snorted coldly, despised what he had done, and his impression of Li Zhi in his heart declined sharply.

In Liu Hong's view, people and things in the world should be like themselves, and they will admit whether they are good or bad, just like buying and selling official positions.

Li Zhi saw that Liu Hong looked at him coldly and didn't speak, he glanced at Zhang Rang with the corner of his eye, and saw that he was looking at him with a smile, Li Zhi immediately understood in his heart that this must be Zhang Rang's slander again.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi's face changed, and he pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister has never blackmailed that Wang Yun, the cause of the incident is that his nephew Wang Yuan broke a piece of jade pendant given to the minister by the minister's wife, and those gold are all gifts for the prince to apologize to the minister. ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he glanced at Zhang Rang, and when he saw that he lowered his eyebrows and did not speak, he understood that this Zhang Rang must have listened to someone's lies.

Although Liu Hong knew that he might have blamed Li Zhi for being wrong, he was still angry about the ten boxes of gold that Li Zhi had gotten for nothing, so he said in a cold voice: "What kind of jade pendant can be worth ten boxes of gold?" ”

"Exactly" Li Zhi nodded with approval on his face, and said to Liu Hong: "What Your Majesty said is very true, and the minister is also worried at this time, but the prince has to give these gold to the minister, and the minister can't shirk it, so he has no choice but to accept it." ”

As he spoke, Li Zhiyi pointed to the outside of the palace: "After the minister got the gold, he didn't dare to make his own decisions, and he thought that the state affairs were difficult and the treasury lacked money, so he brought the gold into the palace and wanted to hand it over to His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to dispose of it." ”

"What?" Liu Hong was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Li Zhi with a face full of disbelief, and asked in a daze: "Aiqing wants to give me all this gold?" ”

After Li Zhi heard Liu Hong's inquiry, he nodded affirmatively.

Seeing Li Zhi nodding, before Liu Hong could react, Zhang Rang on the side slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Sure enough!" This Li Zhi is really like what our family thinks, Wang Zishi is afraid that stealing chickens and rice this time will not be successful, but it is a pity that this is a great opportunity. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Rang shook his head helplessly, he really had no choice but to lurk like a poisonous snake and continue to wait for the opportunity.

When Emperor Han Ling saw that Li Zhi really wanted to offer him this gold, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Quick! Bring up my gold and let me appreciate it. ”

"Minister's Order" Li Zhi saw Liu Hong's impatient look, and after answering, he walked outside the hall.

After the people under Li Zhi's command brought the gold in, Liu Hong rushed to the gold with an arrow step as if his body had suddenly improved, lifted the lid of the box, and saw that the gold inside was obsessed, which was the same as the obsessive appearance that Li Zhi pretended to be on the street.

When Liu Hong opened the last box, he found that it was not gold, but dazzling and pleasing jewelry, and the top was a fist-sized diamond, and I don't know where Wang Yun scavenged these strange treasures.

Seeing that sparkling diamond

At that time, Liu Hong's eyes couldn't leave, he stepped forward and grabbed the diamond, stroking it gently, and the light of greed and obsession flashed frequently in his eyes.

After a long time, Liu Hong came to his senses, but he still held on to the diamond.

I saw Liu Hong playing with the diamond while asking Li Zhi: "This is the thing that Wang Yun gave to Li Qing to accompany the crime?" ”

"Exactly" Li Zhi heard this, and quickly nodded.

"Hmm" Liu Hong nodded, looked at Li Zhi with appreciative eyes, and asked Wen Yan: "Aiqing is really the pillar of the country, Aiqing is so loyal, I can't be stingy, let's say, what does Aiqing want me to do?" ”

In the past, others gave him money for something, so he naturally thought that Li Zhi gave him these gold to ask him for something, so he asked for this question.

When Li Zhi heard this, he shook his head solemnly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, although Your Majesty is the father of the world, he often worries about money, and every time he sees this, his heart is very sad.

After getting the gold, the minister immediately thought of His Majesty, so he came to the palace to present the gold to His Majesty. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi straightened his clothes, bowed a big salute, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, minister... Nothing! ”

Looking at Li Zhi, who looked righteous and awe-inspiring, Zhang Rang on the side pursed his lips, and said speechlessly in his heart: "It is said that our family is the best at sycophancy, but this is really wronged our family and others!"

Look at this Li Zhi, his sycophant kung fu is too late for our family, alas......"

Thinking of this, Zhang Rang sighed, and lamented in his heart: "It's still a treacherous scholar, there is no trace of a horse's ass, and he pretends to be a loyal minister, it's really hateful!" Our family suffers a loss because we didn't read more books, regret it......"

Thinking of this, Zhang Rang lowered his head unhappily and remained silent.

"Good, good! What a 'Nothing!' Liu Hong didn't know what Zhang Rang was thinking, but he felt that this Li Zhinai was a rare loyal minister, and he was moved to tears and applauded.

Then, Liu Hong walked quickly in front of Li Zhi, grabbed his sleeve, and said excitedly: "Qing Zhen is a loyal minister!" ”

Li Zhi quietly withdrew his sleeves, bowed and said: "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the minister is ashamed to be ashamed, this is just the duty of a courtier." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The minister has a matter, and I hope that Your Majesty will approve it." ”

"Oh?" Liu Hong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he replied to Liu Hong: "Although the minister got this gold, he also offended the prince, and the prince is quite powerful in the court, and he is even more famous among the people. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi sighed: "Although the minister is a hussar general, he is also a little afraid of the prince, so I want to ask Your Majesty to be an intermediary, make peace, and ease the relationship between the minister and the prince." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi bowed to the end, but his low-hanging eyes were full of murder.

"Revenge is coming!" On the side, Zhang Rangjian instantly came to his senses after hearing what Li Zhi said.

Because this matter had nothing to do with Zhang Rang, he looked at Li Zhi with relish, wanting to see how Li Zhi tricked Wang Yun.

After Liu Hong heard Li Zhizhi's words, he frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Li Qing is a hussar general, how can he be afraid of a humble person?" ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he said with a frustrated face: "Your Majesty, this hussar general is just in name

, who has no foundation in Beijing, how can he compare to these deep-rooted ministers of the princes? ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he retorted unhappily: "Qing is a hussar general who is personally appointed by me, how can he be so cowardly?

Although Wang Yun is an old minister in the court, he is just a Zuo Zhonglang, even if he has a deeper foundation, what can he do with you? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hong's face changed, and he said with a golden light in his eyes: "This matter can't be said to be peaceful, it's good that Li Qing offended Wang Yun... If I offend a few more times, won't I get more gold? ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and he was even more helpless about Liu Hong's character of loving money like his life, so did he love money so much as an emperor?

Although Li Zhi was complaining about Liu Hong in his heart, he still cried with a sad face on his face, and complained to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, the minister is indeed afraid of that Wang Yun, not to mention anything else, he can take out so much money at once, it can be seen that his power is huge, and the minister is really afraid!" ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he waved his hand speechlessly: "Where did Aiqing think of it, then Wang Yun can take out so much money, presumably he has also exhausted his family resources."

Wang Yunnai is the patriarch of the Wang family, and it is reasonable to have so much money, what is there to be afraid of? ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know" Li Zhi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If the prince takes out so much money from his family, of course the minister will not be afraid, but this money is brought with him when the prince goes to the restaurant to drink, this is ......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhi pretended to be frightened and said: "The prince can bring so much money when he goes out to drink, isn't his home full of gold?"

I'm afraid that the rockeries in his home are made of gold, and every time he thinks of this, he is covered in a cold sweat, so he came to ask His Majesty to help the ministers make peace, so that the prince will not want to trouble the ministers again."

After speaking, Li Zhi bowed to the end and no longer stood up, his appearance was very sincere.

"Goooo A rockery made of gold?! Li Zhi said a lot of this, but Liu Hong didn't listen to anything, just because when Liu Hong heard that Li Zhi said that Wang Yun's house had a rockery made of gold, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the greed in his eyes appeared frequently.

After a long time.

"Is what Aiqing said true?" Liu Hong finally came back to his senses, looking at Li Zhi greedily, as if he wanted to swallow him, and his eyes were even more murderous.

Liu Hong's murderous intent was not directed at Li Zhifa, but at Wang Yun, at this time, Liu Hong thought with hatred in his heart: "This Wang Yun has developed such a huge force under my nose, and I don't know anything?"

Does Wang Yun have a heart of disobedience? Otherwise, why don't you let me know? And he has too much money in his family, right? They are all richer than me, how can this be justified!

Seeing Liu Hong's expression, Li Zhiyile cheered in his heart: "I'm hooked!" ”

Then, Li Zhi nodded to Liu Hong with a serious face: "Exactly, although this is the minister's speculation, but if you can go out and carry it with you like gold, how much money does your family have......

And the prince's family is not a merchant family, and he can have so much money, which shows that his power is huge, so the ministers will be afraid. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi pretended to be scared and lowered his head, as if he was really afraid of this Wang Yun.

After Zhang Rang on the side heard Li Zhi's words, he pursed his lips speechlessly, and thought happily in his heart: "Thanks to this Li Zhi, he is not a eunuch, otherwise what would be the matter with our family?" Look at this method of framing people... It's so dark! ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Rang's gaze at Li Zhi was no longer the hatred of the past, but more appreciation, as if he had found a like-minded person......
