In the next two days, someone saw Zeng Fanzhi and others enter the prince's mansion at night, and when they came out, their eyes were red like mourning......

Many ministers saw that when the crown prince Li Heng was in the court, he was in a trance, and he wanted to say nothing to the saint countless times, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything......

The saint noticed, but pretended not to see anything.

After completing the matter of the mansion explained by Wei Ming, Guo Xi wanted to enter the service field to report the good news, but was stopped.

"This is what Brother Ming meant, I hope Guo Sanlang knows!"

Seeing Guo Xi rolling up his sleeves and raising his eyebrows, Wang Zhong and several other officials hurriedly explained with a smile, after all, they knew very well that when Guo Xi first came, he wanted to do it, but now he relied on Wei Ming's support......

If you don't make it clear, I'm afraid this guy will really dare to move.

"He told me not to let me in?"

Hearing this, Guo Xi saw from a distance through the gate of the service field, a large number of soldiers in the direction of the porcelain, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and then saw the usually lazy big tiger and others sweating like rain, walking with trott......

"Something is wrong!"

Guo Xi, who was sure of this, suddenly chuckled in his heart, and went home as soon as possible to report to the Wang family to see if she could find out something......

The Wang family is not only low-key, but also only has the title of Taiyuan Junjun.

It stands to reason that with her status, in the circle of noble wives and concubines in Chang'an, her status should not be much higher than the title of Guo Xi's alternate knight.

But in fact, the Wang family is very influential in the circle of noble wives and concubines in Chang'an, even if all kinds of titles are courteous.

The reason for this situation is related to the fact that although Guo Ziyi is only a general of the left guard of the third grade, he has a heavy army in his hands, and it is also related to the methods of the Wang family - being cautious and courteous, it does not mean that there is no wrist.

It is also for this reason that although the affairs of the pottery field are tightly sealed, very few people know about it.

But Wang still knows a lot of the inside story.

Although the matter happened in the battlefield, but now, the entire court is surging because of this incident!

Guo Xi, who heard this answer, was shocked and said inexplicably: "How can this be?" ”

"Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, this is the terrible thing about the power struggle!"

Wang sighed lightly: "This is also the reason why our Guo family is cautious everywhere, for fear of making mistakes!" ”

"So, isn't Brother Ming dead?"

Thinking of this, Guo Xi begged bitterly: "Over the years, the child has asked himself who he has not served, but Brother Ming, he really has the ability to pass through the heavens and the earth, if he dies because of this, it is really an irreparable loss for my Datang - Ah Niang, you must save him!" ”

"You stupid boy!"

Wang Shi said angrily: "Although Wei Ming's kid may really have some ability, but now he is just a small shrimp after all, who will deliberately target him-you also think too highly of him!" ”

Guo Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and at the same time guessed: "Could it be that these people are targeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again?" ”

"Don't guess!"

Wang didn't answer, but said: "No matter who it is, at least it won't be our Guo family, after all, my family has already shown its heart, and will never stand in line, only loyal to my Tang sage!" ”

In short, whoever is a saint, the Guo family is loyal to whom.

Before dawn, the outside of the imperial city was already crowded with ministers waiting for the court.

Although the crown prince Li Heng was in front of the palace gate early, few people stepped forward, but from time to time he stretched his neck to look behind.

Several ponies came under the guidance of the servants, and the old man on one of the horses was so thin that he even coughed lightly from time to time, and looked like he was not in good health......

"Li Shangshu, slow down!"

As soon as I saw the old man, many people rushed to the place, and while helping him get off the horse, he didn't forget to be concerned: "You are my Tang Dynasty pillar, but you must take care of your body!" ”

At present, Li Linfu is naturally the only one who can be called Shangshu.

And those who came with him were naturally the craftsmen who wanted to go to the court to face the saint and report the progress of the dancing horse stage, Li Xiu.

Li Linfu and Li Xiuying dismounted together, and saluted Li Heng in unison: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Shang Shu Duo Li!"

Li Heng returned the salutary salute, and then looked at Li Xiu and said with a deep taste: "Young Master Li, the errand of the craftsman's office, I heard that you can do it really beautifully!" ”

"The craftsman is divided into carpentry, construction, and pottery, and the lower official is only responsible for carpentry construction!"

Li Xiu said: "Although I am praised by His Royal Highness, the lower officials really dare not be greedy for the credit of the three signatures for themselves, and I hope that His Highness will be clear!" ”

In the middle of the-for-tat confrontation, someone else arrived.

Looking at the tall horses of that team, from beginning to end are resplendent and magnificent, who doesn't know that the person who came must be Yang Guozhong, the imperial envoy?

Almost instantly, I don't know how many ministers flocked up, greeting, supporting, and sycophant......

Bark a piece.

Seeing this scene, and seeing that there were many fewer ministers around him, Li Linfu couldn't help but feel a little tightness in his chest, and couldn't help coughing loudly.

"Your old body is getting worse and worse!"

Yang Guozhong, who got off the horse, said with a caring face: "I want Shangshu to work hard for my Tang Dynasty all my life, this old and seriously ill but still refuses to slack off, I am really ashamed of myself, I am ashamed of myself!" ”

It's just something that climbs up with the pillow wind, and it dares to be presumptuous in front of the old man!

Thinking that Yang Guozhong used to please him in every way, and now he dared to mock himself in front of the ministers at his age, but he still occupied the pit and didn't, Li Linfu gritted his teeth with hatred, and coughed even more......

"Aya, you drink hot water, go well!"

Li Xiu lowered his voice while handing over the water: "Beauty is easy to get old, and when the concubine is old and decrepit, I don't believe that he can still be arrogant!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Linfu glared and said: "Handle today's things first, and the rest, when you are in your position, it's not too late!" ”

"Aye, don't worry!"

Thinking that the dancing horse platform ordered by the saint had been built ahead of schedule under his supervision day and night, Li Xiu was full of confidence and believed that he would definitely be able to rely on this skill to enter the eyes of the saint!

When the time comes, there may be a chance to create a bipolar story......

At the hour, the drums sounded.

Li Longji sat high on the dragon chair and watched the ministers rush in.

Every time he saw this scene, thinking that he was creating a great and prosperous era comparable to Taizong, he could always forget all his fatigue in an instant.

But now, he couldn't get the slightest interest.

Because he felt that the prosperous world he wanted was already in front of him, he missed the slippery delicate body of the concubine more at the moment than the prosperous world!

All kinds of government and politics have been the same for decades.

It is nothing more than where there is trouble, where there is auspiciousness, where there is victory or defeat......

It is also for this reason that even when he heard the report that the Anxi Jiedu Gao Xianzhi army was defeated in the Green Ridge, and the Tang Dynasty lost more than 20,000 soldiers, Yang Guozhong and many others were filled with righteous indignation, and they all said that they would increase their troops and allocate silver to level the big food and save the face of the Heavenly Empire......

Li Longji chose to adopt the suggestions of Li Linfu and others, saying that the green ridge was really far away from the Tang Dynasty, and it would be too much to continue the war, and it would be useless for the country.

Therefore, not only did he not increase his troops, but ordered all the soldiers to retreat to Anxi, and decided to summon Gao Xianzhi, who had been in charge of the Western Regions for half his life, to return to Chang'an to report on his work.

"Holy man, no!"

Hearing this, many old ministers hurriedly said: "This defeat will damage my Tang Tianwei, if the saint not only does not increase the army, but recalls the high festival, I am afraid that it will definitely encourage the arrogance of the countries in the Western Regions, and the Western Regions, which have been pacified with great difficulty in recent years, will be full of wolf smoke again......

"My mind has been decided, Zhong Aiqing doesn't need to say much!"

After Li Longji finished speaking, he deliberately said to Yang Guozhong: "A certain family is like this, and it can't bear to suffer from the people of my Tang Dynasty, do you understand Yang Yu's envoy?" ”

"The saint is merciful!"

Yang Guozhong, who advocated sending troops, was already playing against Li Linfu, naturally borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, but just glanced at Li Linfu stupidly.

Li Linfu smiled faintly, and said in his heart, don't look at the old man, who is not only old, but also seriously ill......

But if you fight with me, you're still very tender!

The intrigue among the ministers is the art of imperial balance.

Therefore, Li Longji naturally did not intervene in the battle between Li and Yang, but just turned his head and said, "Where is Young Master Li?" How is the progress of the dancing horse platform I ordered you to build? ”

"Back to the saint, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored!"

Li Xiu, who had been waiting for a long time, responded at the same time: "It is the golden autumn now, the scenery is infinite, the micro ministers dare to admonish, dare to invite the saint to go to the Huaqing Palace after the feast of the ministers, then not only can you dance on the horse platform to watch the hundred horses dance, but also can enjoy the autumn colors of my Tang Dynasty, the harvest is magnificent!" ”

"This proposal is very good for me!"

Li Longji was extremely satisfied when he heard this, and after ordering the eunuch to arrange the itinerary, he looked at Li Heng and said, "Heng'er, you should be ready for the matter of imperial porcelain, right?" ”

Li Heng's face twitched, and he said with trepidation: "Young Master Zeng is working overtime, I believe, I believe that I should be able to catch up with the hour......"

"Convinced?"

Li Longji's voice was extremely cold: "I said to your family before, I want him to wait for the imperial banquet to appreciate the beautiful porcelain that has never been seen in the previous dynasty, you can be present, but now you say that you believe you can catch the hour?" Are you deliberately trying to make your father break his promise in front of your family? ”

Seeing Li Heng's cold sweat like pulp, he thought of the pottery side to report to the current porcelain craftsmen, and he had already jumped over the wall to stuff the porcelain embryos that had not yet dried into the kiln......

Convinced that tomorrow's banquet, Li Heng will not be able to take out the so-called imperial porcelain no matter what, Li Linfu's eyes were full of relief when he looked at Li Xiu, and he said in his heart that he was worthy of his son......

This invisibly piggybacking on the work is quite its own style back then!

He was almost certain that after Li Xiu had been dormant in the craftsman's office for so many years, he would not only be able to step into the court with the skill of dancing on the horse stage, but also be able to use the skill of beating the prince to subdue a group of old ministers who followed him, and he would be the main one after him!

Just when Li Linfu and Li Xiu were laughing strangely, and Yang Guozhong and others were pale-faced, secretly hating that the limelight was stolen by Li Linfu and others this time, Li Heng, who was in a cold sweat, spoke again.

"After the retiring courtiers, he will personally inquire about it, and he will not dare to delay the royal banquet of the saints!" Lee Heng.

"It's better not to delay, or ......"

Li Longji didn't continue, but snorted coldly and said to everyone: "If there is nothing to do, let's stop here today!" ”

"Erchen has one more thing to do!"

Li Heng ignored Li Longji's face and said tremblingly: "The sons and daughters are courageous, and they dare to ask their father to postpone going to Huaqing Pool after the big banquet!" ”

"Your Highness!"

As soon as he heard this, Li Linfu and Li Xiu all said angrily: "Are you deliberately trying to distract the saint? ”

"Erchen will never dare!"

Li Heng knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic and said: "It's just that Erchen heard rumors that because the construction period was too tight, Li Shaojiang persecuted too much to please his father and emperor, and tired the dead alive - Erchen is really afraid that under the indignation of the servants, the quality of the dancing horse platform is worrying......"

"Your Highness, there is no evidence, you are slandering!"

Li Linfu and Li Xiu immediately became anxious without waiting for Li Heng's words to finish, and Qi Qi reprimanded angrily.

"It's true that a certain family just heard about it without evidence......"

Li Hengqing sincerely apologized, saying that he had no intention of framing him, and was simply worried about the safety of his father.

"Sage, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has heard the rumors, and the minister has actually heard some rumors!"

Yang Guozhong, who had been robbed of the limelight all morning, said with compassion: "In order to restore the innocence of Li Shaojiang, the minister is willing to ask for a thorough investigation of this matter, and please ask the saint for permission!" ”

When Li Linfu, who is the representative of the idiom of the honey-bellied sword, heard this, how could he not know that this was true and wanted Yang Guozhong to investigate, and it was absolutely false and could be found to be true, not to mention that nine times out of ten this thing was true, how could he dare to let Yang Guozhong investigate?

Therefore, he repeatedly said that this is simply a slander by someone with ulterior motives, and there is no need to make a big deal about it!

"As the saying goes, there are clouds, and the body is not afraid of shadows!"

Yang Guozhong smiled and said: "Shangshu obstructed this in every way, could it be that there is a ghost in his heart, and he knew that Li Shaojiang did not care about the life and death of his servant?" ”

"Li Shangshu is my Tang Dynasty pillar, Yang Yu, you actually slandered Shangshu so much because of a few rumors, what are your intentions?"

"Is it slander, don't you know if you check it?"

Seeing the court arguing, seeing Li Linfu unable to argue and Li Xiu trembling like chaff, how could Li Heng make such a self-blame on his face outside the crowd, but he was thinking about what someone said in his heart - there is no need for evidence to hand over a knife......

Because if someone wants to take the knife, they will naturally look for evidence.

It's the truth!

Li Heng couldn't help but be convinced.
