"Gao Nei Waiter!"

Pei Min followed Gao Lishi to say hello.

Gao Lishi said with a smile: "Visiting late at night, disturbing the national security to sleep, the situation is urgent, and I also asked the national prince to enter the palace as soon as possible." ”

Pei Min said: "Don't hide it from the servant, today's incident happened suddenly, the matter is quite big, how can Min have the heart to sleep peacefully, thinking nonsense in the house." I have no grievances with Secretary Cui, why did he put me to death. ”

Gao Lishi said as he walked, and said with a smile: "This matter has been investigated by the Duke of Guo, and it is inconvenient for the old slave to say more, as long as the Duke of Guo enters the palace, he will know everything." ”

Pei Min wanted to speak and stopped, since the last time he said goodbye to Gaofu, it was the first time he met Gao Lishi in private. The things in Gaofu are too weird, especially the Forget Worry Grass, which has puzzled him so far, full of questions, and is waiting to speak.

Gao Lishi said: "Can the prince sleep soundly in a certain mansion a few days ago? Originally, I wanted to catch up with the prince of the country, but I didn't want His Majesty to make a hurry, so I could only enter the palace first. I am ashamed to fail to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

Seeing Gao Lishi mentioning the matter of the house with nothing to do, Pei Min was surprised, and responded: "The waiter is polite, the camellia garden in your mansion, but the most beautiful garden I have seen in my next life, it is a great blessing to be able to play chess and drink tea with the garden." ”

Gao Lishi said: "Although the camellia in Fuzhong is beautiful, it is a little less poetic. The national public literature is unparalleled in the world, if you have time to spare, you can write a poem, a certain monument is engraved in the garden, set into the finishing touch. ”

Pei Min is embarrassed, after years of study, writing articles is of some standard. But when it comes to poetry, I really don't have any talent. To date, there is not a single decent poem of his own.

It is really difficult for him to let him compose poetry.

It's just that in the eyes of the world, he Pei Min is no longer just a writer, but a generation of Wenzong, and reciting poetry is as simple as eating and drinking.

Fortunately, Pei Min studied literature in the 21st century, and there was a little ink in his stomach, otherwise his character would have collapsed.

For Gao Lishi's request, Pei Min couldn't refuse, so he could only respond to it head-on, thinking about going back to him to find the right verses for the situation.

Before he could speak, Gao Lishi said again: "Guogong has been in the wine field for a long time, and he is satisfied with the century-old Zhongshan winter brew in Fuzhong?" I'm not afraid to tell Guogong that the hundred-year-old winter brew is particularly weird. With a certain amount of alcohol, it stands to reason that no strong wine should be poured in three glasses. But in that hundred-year winter brew, I really can't drink three cups. Guogong drank more than 20 glasses in one breath before getting drunk, which is really remarkable. ”

Pei Min saw that Gao Lishi was talking about it, and he couldn't help but say in his heart: "Is that wine really okay?" Or is there a problem that he doesn't know? Or is it deliberately right? ”

He said tentatively: "I have drunk a lot of Zhongshan Winter Brew, and I have never drunk more than 20 glasses, this century-old Winter Brew is extraordinary." ”

Gao Lishi said: "There is only one altar in my house, and now there are only six left." Guogong likes it, tomorrow a certain person will keep half of it, and let people send the remaining half to the Guogong Mansion. I believe that except for Guogong, there are few people who can stand the fierceness of this wine. ”

Gao Lishi was so refreshing, Pei Min was very surprised, and he didn't know what to say.

After a pause, Pei Min also gave up investigating the bottom of the matter.

He didn't want to tear up face with Colliers.

With the current situation, it is really not a wise move to be the enemy of Colliers.

Pei Min's current roots are in the northwest, and he will go to the northwest one day. For all the things in Chang'an, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, Gao Lishi is Li Longji's closest close minister, even if he doesn't stammer, it's best not to offend.

Anyway, I don't seem to have anything to lose......

I went all the way to the palace, and at the gate of the palace, I happened to meet Li Xian, the king of Ning, who was rushing to the palace.

Li Xian's appearance was a bit unexpected by Pei Min.

However, it also reflects Li Longji's attention to this matter from the side.

Pei Min greeted Li Xian.

The two also greeted each other and went to the palace together.

Li Longji was already anxious to wait in the Wude Palace, and when he saw Pei Min and Li Xian arriving together, he directly exempted them from the salute and told the two of them about Qinglong's situation.

Pei Min deliberately made a surprised expression because he had known it for a long time, but because he didn't know Qinglong's strength, he didn't seem much surprised.

Li Xian was solemn when he heard this, he was a person from the past, and he knew how terrible Qinglong was at the beginning.

Li Longji said: "I trust no one, I make a mistake in employing people, and it is too late to regret it." There is a saying in ancient times, it is not too late to make amends. Qinglong must not become a tool for others to seek power and favoritism, and inviting you here overnight tonight is like asking you to investigate how much power Cui Cheng has hidden, and who this power is for. ”

At the end, Li Longji's tone was full of evil.

At this point, Li Longji naturally will not ignore the Cui family behind Cui Cheng.

In the previous generations, starting from Yang Jian, Yang Jian, Yang Guang, Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian, these emperors all regarded the family as a major scourge.

But Li Longji did not put the family in his eyes, after Wu Zetian's slaughter, the family has long been different.

Too much repression is not conducive to development.

After all, the family is also a major talent exporter, and it is also a big loss for the court to lose the family's talent supply to the court.

As long as you weigh the promotion path of the poor family and the family, the existence of the family is not without harm.

However, if the family is uneasy about the status quo and intends to restore the past, influence the promotion of new officials in the imperial court, block the promotion of the Hanmen scholars, and force the Hanmen scholars to work for the family, forming the dominance of the family, and even controlling the government and the government, it will violate his bottom line.

Li Xian also thought of Cui Cheng's background, and said solemnly: "It is necessary to investigate to the end, but I don't know where to investigate." ”

"Check it out of me!" Pei Min pointed to himself and said: "I'm curious, I have no grudge against Cui Cheng in the past, and I have no enmity recently, why did he target me so much, and even slandered me for rebellion, and wanted to put me in a place where I can't recover, there must be a reason for this." As long as we find this root, we may be able to peel back the cocoon and find the cause. ”

Li Xian smiled and praised: "As the saying goes, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and whether Song Xiang's belly can support the boat, I don't know, but the prince must be able to support the boat in his belly." ”

Li Longji regretted it even more when he heard it, and asked Gao Lishi to tell the two of them the news he found on the surface of Qinglong.

Gao Lishi said: "I don't know why, Qinglong's surface strength has recently been targeting a gang in Chang'an, called the Qingyu League, and even affected Qingyu Tower. ”

Li Xian looked surprised, he loves music and rhythm, and naturally knows that Qingyulou can be compared with Taichang Temple and Liyuan, and he also knows that Qingyulou has a close relationship with Pei Min, and looked at Pei Min with a little understanding: "It seems that the reason is here, the relationship between Guogong and Gongsun Auntie is not ordinary, right?" You run for her like this, it seems to me that the drunkard does not mean to drink. ”

Pei Min didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "King Ning knows me, Aunt Gongsun is gentle and supple, and her talent and appearance are all first-class in the world, which has won my heart and has been admired for a long time." Before the Shangyuan Festival, the hard work paid off, and the two of us set a lifelong commitment. To be precise, Aunt Gongsun, the owner of Qingyu Building, is now the lady who has not passed through the door, and as for the Erniang, the leader of the Qingyu League, she is not only my apprentice but also my future sister-in-law. It can be said that it is a family ......."

As soon as he said this, Li Longji, Gao Lishi, and Li Xian were all surprised, and then couldn't help laughing.

Li Longji said: "People are not amorous teenagers, and Aunt Gongsun is talented and good-looking, and she is indeed worthy of Jingyuan." With Jingyuan's status, it is rare to have only one concubine. I thought that Jingyuan was not a good woman, but now it seems that this is not the case. It's that the eyes are extremely high, ordinary women, and they can't get into your eyes. ”

Pei Min smiled embarrassedly and said: "The minister is also a layman, so as not to be vulgar, not to be vulgar" As he said, he also put away his smile and said with a bit of solemnity: "The reason is only that I am afraid of this...... Your Majesty, the ministers and the Gongsun sisters have a deep relationship, can you remember the original Yuan daughter? It was precisely because of the conflict between their sisters and Jiang Bo, a wealthy businessman in the northwest, that they learned the details. ”

At that time, Gongsun Erniang showed her anxious and righteous character, and it has not changed over the years. The minister also said that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and they should not go too deep into them. But she is very persistent in this regard, but she feels that the minister is worried that she will be implicated, saying that if something really happens, it will never involve the minister. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Min laughed at himself and said: "I'm not afraid to tell Your Majesty the truth, this family doesn't talk about two families." Erniang is really going to have a problem, and it is impossible for the minister to sit idly by. As long as it is not that unforgivable mistake, even if the minister gives up this face, he must come forward to protect it. ”

Li Longji bowed his head and said: "This is human nature. ”

Pei Min said: "Except for Erniang who doesn't listen to her ministers in this regard, everything else is fine. Every time a minister enters Beijing, she will come to visit her affectionately, and treat Pei Mansion as her home as casually. This time, the minister came for more than a month, but he only met the eldest mother twice, but the second mother did not show up. The minister asked the eldest mother about this, and the eldest mother said that the second mother was busy with everything and couldn't take a break. Now it seems that it is not that he can't pull out, but that something really happened, and he doesn't want to involve Yu Chen. ”

Li Xian said: "The little girl's heart is good, real. It's just that there are many things, and it's not that she doesn't want to be involved. ”

Pei Min got up and bowed to Li Longji sincerely: "The reason for this matter is that nine times out of ten it involves the Qingyu League. If Your Majesty can trust the minister, the minister is willing to talk to Erniang in detail, understand everything about this matter, and find out all the causes and effects. ”

Li Longji waved his hand and said, "If you are there, you will invite Jingyuan tonight, so naturally you will not have any suspicions." But...... I believe that this matter is not only as simple as a grievance between the rivers and lakes, but may involve the family and even many ministers of the DPRK and China. Originally, it was supposed to be handed over to Yu Shitai to be responsible, but the matter was expedient, I was headed by my brother Ning Wang, Jingyuan, you and Lux were the deputies, and the three of you had the privilege to investigate the matter. If you can keep quiet, you will be silent. lest because of the Qinglong incident, the people of the Manchu Dynasty and the military people will be panicked. It's best not to affect the canonization of Zen ......"

Li Xian, Pei Min, and Gao Lishi were ordered together.

The three of them said goodbye to Li Longji.

On the way back to the house, Li Xian said to Pei Min: "Before this matter is over, King Ning's Mansion is our place of deliberation. The prince will go tomorrow to find out the details, and the king is waiting for news in the palace. ”

"Understood!"

Although there is one more King Ning, everything is not out of the overall layout.

The next day, Pei Min found Gongsun You, Gongsun Xi, and Zhanpeng, rechecked their confessions with them, and asked Zhanpeng to be carried to King Ning's Mansion in a hurry.

Li Xian had been waiting in the house for a long time.

Knowing that Pei Min had brought a stranger, Li Xian laughed and said, "It seems that Guogong has gained a lot. ”

Pei Min couldn't laugh, and said with a wry smile: "I'd rather have a smaller harvest." ”

Li Xian also put away his smile and said: "It seems that things are the same as we imagined, Cui Cheng is not in power and self-consolidation, but is distributed to the so-called own people." Saying that, he said with a bit of sarcasm: "Sure enough, as rumored, the children of the family have the family first in their hearts, and then the country." San Lang is very fond of Cui Cheng, but he can't compare to their family's cultivation grace, which is really hateful. ”

Pei Min asked Zhan Peng to be lifted up.

Looking at Zhan Peng, who was injured and a little weak, Li Xian's eyes were full of surprise, and then there was a trace of anger in his eyes.

He had already discovered that Zhanpeng was not an ordinary injury, but that he had been tortured.

Privately setting up a torture hall was also a serious crime in ancient times.

Zhan Peng said weakly: "The grass people have seen King Ning, and they can't salute King Ning, so don't blame King Ning." ”

His injuries were actually almost healed under Liu Shenwei's treatment, but for the sake of layout, he specially asked Pear Lao to use a weak Gu for him, and the whole person lost his middle qi, and he was weak in speech, and he had no vitality at all.

Li Xian first asked someone to carry a Hu bed so that Zhanpeng could lie down comfortably, looked at Pei Min and said, "What's the situation?" ”

Pei Min put the matter on his own and said, "It's still up to me, if there is anything missing, or something that needs to be added, Uncle Zhan is making up for it." ”

Zhan Peng nodded in agreement.

Pei Min said: "All the reasons are because of Uncle Zhan. Uncle Zhan was the commander of the internal defense in the past, called Zhan Peng. A search of past archives should confirm whether it is true or not. When the five kings returned to the Tang Dynasty, Uncle Zhan was lucky enough to avoid the purge, and lurked in Chang'an, hiding, and living a life of fear. Until the Taiping Party collapsed, Uncle Zhan thought that Qinglong would also die with the demise of Princess Taiping. began to relax and live a normal life comfortably, until Cui Hong's Qinglong found out. ”

Li Xian keenly sensed that it was Cui Hong's Qinglong, not Cui Cheng.

Pei Min continued: "Uncle Zhan was originally in charge of the training of members of the internal guard, as long as he helped, the power of Qinglong would be endless. They approached Uncle Zhan, but Uncle Zhan refused. was also coerced and attacked because of this, Uncle Zhan was kind to Qingyulou in Luoyang, and Sister Gongsun came to the rescue. Uncle Zhan didn't want to drag down the Qingyu League, so he didn't tell the truth. ”

"But just like me, the power of the green dragon cannot be known to outsiders. They didn't dare to let go of the Green Feather League, they didn't believe that the Green Feather League didn't know about it, and they began to calculate against the Green Feather League. ”

"The relationship between the Gongsun sisters and Min is well known, so they don't dare to use official means, so they can only continue secretly. I can't think of what kind of tricks they use, but they can't count a little. ”

"Feng Chan, Feng Chan was transferred back to Chang'an from Liangzhou and became the invisible arm of the Gongsun sisters. Fearing that my addition would expose everything to them, they shifted the target of the blockade to me. As long as I fall, the Qingyu Alliance and Qingyulou are naturally not afraid. ”

Pei Min said vaguely here, but Li Xian understood and understood everything.
