286: Wang Li asked right

"Weizhen, are you feeling better?"

Li Gu heard footsteps outside the wall, and a familiar voice sounded, and suddenly a smile came to his heart, he got up on crutches, and said with a smile: "You can't do this house when this house is your vegetable garden, you can come if you want to, can't you wait for the door to report?" ”

"Hmph, I'm going to come and see what serious you are doing at home."

As he spoke, the housekeeper Li De had already led in a purple-robed official, with a thin body, a broad forehead, and deep eyes, it was Wang Pu, who had been promoted from a household servant and a privy deputy envoy to a privy envoy and a school inspector a few years ago.

The princes of the court, only he has a very personal relationship with Li Gu, and he often moves around after official business, and after Li Gu resigns due to illness, Wang Pulai is the most diligent, and he has to come to ask for a cup of tea every three or five times.

"It's a little early to disperse today, and the sun hasn't set yet."

Wang Pu Zhenzhen shook his sleeves and said with a smile: "I didn't sit in the palace, I just came out of the palace, hurry up, come to a good cup of tea to quench your thirst." ”

A maid had already made tea without waiting for instructions, and when Wang Pu sat down on the chair, she obediently served it and said with a smile: "Your old favorite finch tongue, the head of the family has a life, and only the cardinal can enjoy it." ”

Wang Pu laughed, took a sip, and saw Li Gu sitting down slowly, his face was slightly bitter, and he asked with concern: "What, I haven't seen you for a few days, and it's serious again?" ”

"Is the wind paralyzed, that's it, sometimes good and sometimes bad, alas...... It's you, now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the wind and rain are smooth, why are your brows knotted? ”

"The Holy Lord's edict, Xiangyang sent to Xun Ren to the southwest of the water and land to solicit envoys."

Li Gu raised his eyebrows and said, "The Holy Lord is going to use troops against Xishu?" At present, the Dragon Boat Festival has not passed, how urgent. ”

"Well, it was originally planned, this year to recuperate, first the situation forced the Gao family in Nanping to give up Jiangling, and then use Jiangling as a bridgehead, then the south and west can turn into the free, how do you know that Xishu is dead, you have to come to the dragon scales of the saint."

"What happened?"

Wang Pu put down the teacup, washed his face and cleaned his face with the basin brought by the maid, and then leaned back comfortably on the back of the chair, and said: "Fengzhou is in a hurry, saying that the people in the territory worship Maitreya is very prosperous, I am afraid that there is a plan, and the vine touches the melon, and even pulls out Xishu, the two countries are not harmonious, and it is normal to make some small movements with each other, but it is good to die. ”

Li Gu stroked the smooth cane and was speechless for a long time.

Today, he is on the Ninth Five-Year Plan with a fake son, in order to prevent people with other intentions from making a fuss about this, since he ascended the throne, he has never met his biological father Chai Shouli, and Chai Shouli is also as his name, only living in Luoyang with the false title of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu and the inspector Sikong, claiming to be Guo Rongyuan's uncle, and often doing some wrong things to defile himself.

"The lesson of Chuzhou is still in front of us, how stupid Xishu is."

"Nope."

Wang Pu motioned for the left and right attendants to step back, and then knocked on his forehead and said: "The Shu people can't think of this, then Meng Chang prides himself on being elegant and graceful, if no one provokes it, how can he take this vulgar name to provoke the anger of Longyan?" ”

"You mean ......"

"At the moment, it seems that the wind is calm and everything is going well, but the undercurrent is turbulent, and you dare to say that you can't see this? The saint gave you a white vine shoulder, but the palace was in the palace, so repeatedly retained, why did you resolutely resign, although the legs and feet are inconvenient, but the brain is not rusty. ”

Guo Rong has great respect for Li Gu, Li Gu resigned, saying that he could not eat a vegetarian meal, Guo Rong once reluctantly, saying: For example, if there are four sons in the family, one of them is sick, and he abandons it and does not raise it, which is not the way of the father. I am the king of all directions, the position of the minister is the auxiliary minister, and the righteousness between the monarch and the minister is there, so why take Lu Feng as a word.

But Li Gu still resigned after all, and was even thinking about whether to go to Luoyang to recuperate.

Now seeing Wang Pu say this, Li Gu had no choice but to smile bitterly: "You can't be fake when you think of this disease, is it possible that every time the big guy in the morning is waiting for a certain trembling slow beat...... However, it is true that there are hidden worries in my heart, especially after I put down all my affairs, I am at home, and I can see some clues in the past. ”

"Tell me?"

"The saint acted too quickly, after ascending the throne, swords and soldiers rose everywhere, and then severely punished the law, rectified the rule of officials, disarmed the elite soldiers, collected the power of moderation, destroyed the Buddha of the door, and now opened the ban on private salt in Hedong...... Although all of them are good governance for the benefit of the country and the people, they have cut off too many people's financial routes. ”

Wang Puran was silent, drank the water with a teacup, picked up the kettle and poured another glass, and then asked, "That's all?" ”

Li Gu was surprised: "Is there anything else?" ”

Wang Pu bent his fingers, tapped on the tabletop, and made a soft click, "In the Battle of Gaoping back then, you were with the army, and Liu Chong died in the imperial tent, what clues can be seen?" ”

Li Gu's old face turned red, and he said astringently: "But don't mention it, in that battle, the old man was forced to retreat to Taihang Mountain by the rebels, and it took several days to go down the mountain, and this time down the mountain, it was after Liu Chong's death." ”

"There's always some speculation."

"Most of the people in the imperial camp are the old team left by the emperor, all of them have experienced a hundred battles, loyal and reliable, and it is impossible for outsiders to approach them with swords."

"Then why hasn't the inner ghost been found out for so many years?"

Li Gu sighed and blew his gray beard indiscriminately: "That night, the murderer was found, but he had bitten his tongue before the trial, and the battle on the front line was urgent, and the saint put this matter on hold because of the overall situation. What, there is a new discovery? ”

Wang Pu nodded and said: "The undercurrents of the government and the opposition seem to be chaotic, but now they are seeing some signs. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"At that time, the most powerful obstacle to the holy road was Wang Jun, but after his death, everything disappeared, and Li and Zhang have been loyal and diligent since the beginning, and they can also be excluded. At the beginning of Gao Ping, there were many fierce generals and arrogant soldiers, and there were many people who disobeyed the Holy Master, and it seemed that everyone was suspicious, and the Holy Master was precisely because of this, and he pretended to be confused...... In fact, it seems that it is really wrong. ”

"Oh?"

"Because there is a yin that we ignore all."

"Who?"

Wang Pu did not answer and asked: "Weizhen, in your opinion, who is most dissatisfied with the government and politics in the government and the opposition today?" ”

Li Gu smiled bitterly: "That's more, there are many people who have been demoted and dismissed, and there are not many people who have been convicted of corruption, this is a batch; Those who have been drawn elite and received financial power armor are the old qualifications; Due to the rectification of the Liberation Gate and the expansion of Bianjing, the powerful and wealthy merchants who destroyed the family temple, Tuliangtian, moved the ancestral tombs, and handed over the bronze utensils were counted as a group; Now, the ban on private salt in Hedong has been released, and it is estimated that those who rely on this road to eat are not comfortable, plus the believers of Shimen......

Alas, there are many dangers, but fortunately, the saint also knows it, otherwise he would not often shout 'If there is a curse, I deserve it'. ”

Wang Pu also sighed: "Leaving the old and renovating has always been easier said than done, and it is inevitable to offend people. ”

Li Gu's heart tightened, grabbed Wang Pu's wrist, and said hurriedly: "What do you see?" ”
