Chapter Seventy-Two: As Expected
Chang'an Imperial Palace.
Li Longji was full of anger and questions, returned to the palace, rubbed his temples with his hands, looked at Gao Lishi with a headache and said, "General Gao, what do you think of today's incident?" ”
Gao Lishi smiled bitterly: "Please forgive the old slave for being stupid, I can't see through, and I can't understand!" ”
"I don't understand!" Li Longji said angrily: "This is the stupidest, stupidest, and most brainless false accusation I have ever seen. The whole thing is full of ridiculousness, and if it weren't for the fact that it happened, it would be a joke that no one would believe. ”
Before he finished speaking, he added a sentence in his heart, this joke is still led by me.
If it really wants to be spread, where does he, the emperor, still have the face to see people?
"Cui Cheng, Cui Hong!"
Reading the names of these two people, the fire in Li Longji's heart did not come to one place, and at the same time he felt inexplicably uneasy.
Cui Hong, he doesn't understand.
But Cui Cheng turned out to be his neighbor.
The two have been friends for many years, and they still recognize his ability.
Cui Cheng is the descendant of the Cui family, the head of the family with five surnames, and is cultivated by the family and has excellent ability.
At that time, the three brothers of the Cui family, the eldest Cui Xiang, the second Cui Li, and the third Cui Cheng, each moved Chang'an with their talents.
With Cui Cheng's ability and intelligence, he wants to frame a person, so as not to make such a stupid move and do such a ridiculous thing.
This kind of lie that can be broken with a rub, why should Cui Cheng gamble everything on himself?
"There must be something wrong with this!" Li Longji analyzed categorically: "There are only two possibilities, either there is a problem with Qinglong, or there is a problem with Jingyuan." Compared to the green dragon, I believe in Jingyuan! General Gao, you go and check immediately, Qinglong is now in your temporary custody, let me check where this problem is! ”
Colliers shouted his orders and hurried away.
Just when Li Longji was patiently waiting for the news, someone from the palace came to report, saying that the Emperor Li Dan invited him to go to the Baifu Palace.
Li Longji was surprised.
Because of the relationship between Princess Taiping, their father and son have always had an inseparable barrier.
Most of the time, he went to the Baifu Hall to visit Li Dan, and he rarely summoned him.
There is nothing to talk about when the father and son meet, they are all just chatting, which is very embarrassing.
Li Longji also went less.
But no matter how you say that father and son are father and son after all, blood is thicker than water, and there is still a little worry about each other.
Li Longji didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately left, and asked the summoned eunuch with a little curiosity: "But why did the emperor look for me?" ”
The eunuch said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers don't know the details." It's just that Princess Yuzhen entered the palace and found His Majesty, and now she is with the emperor. ”
Li Longji instantly understood what was going on, put his hand on his forehead, and said uncomfortably: "This girl, I have convinced her." ”
Hard-headed, he walked to the Hall of Hundred Blessings.
Li Longji is not Wu Zetian after all, nor is he Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di.
Different emperors have different styles of doing things and face different environments.
Wu Zetian and Zhu Di's thrones are not coming from the right way, and they need institutions like Neiwei and Jinyiwei to maintain control, while Zhu Yuanzhang is facing a group of arrogant generals who are fighting the world, and he also needs institutions like Jinyiwei.
Li Longji's source of the throne is dignified, although he relied on two coups to reach the top, but both coups were expected by all.
In addition to Empress Wei and the remnants of the Wu family, it is very happy, and Princess Taiping is also the trend of the times.
Li Longji himself is not suspicious, and he doesn't attach much importance to Qinglong.
At first, I just thought that instead of destroying the green dragon, it was better to take it for my own use.
These young dragons only act as eyeliner and do not make any drastic movements.
Li Longji didn't even care much about the development of Qinglong, he trusted Cui Cheng, so he completely handed over Qinglong to him to be responsible, and he ignored it, even if he contacted it, it was Gao Lishi who was in charge.
Because of this, Cui Cheng was given the space to do whatever he wanted.
Colliers is in charge of investigating Qinglong and soon discovers the problem.
This is also caused by Cui Cheng and Cui Hong not communicating with each other.
Cui Cheng didn't know his son's plan at all, he was all about targeting the Qingyu League, intending to find out the enlightened monk and regain face for himself, and he didn't investigate Pei Min at all, and he didn't investigate the irrelevant Rende Medicine Workshop.
Since there is no investigation, how can Cui Cheng be sure that Pei Min is in Pei's Mansion, and there are witch masters in Rende Medicine Workshop?
The most important thing is that Qinglong didn't know that the prince had solicited a secret letter from Pei Min.
Colliers is alert and intelligent, and has a unique talent for figuring out people's hearts.
Gathering the green dragons to interrogate them one by one, coupled with their own analysis, although there is no exact evidence, they are also aware of the cat.
Gao Lishi thought of Cui Cheng's words a few days ago, when Cui Cheng introduced his son, Pei Min colluded with the witch master to rebel because Cui Hong found out.
But he asked Qinglong Cui Hong, and most of the people in Qinglong only knew that Cui Hong was Cui Cheng's son, and he had never really been in charge of Qinglong's affairs at all.
All kinds of suspiciousness jumped on the paper.
Now that the obvious green dragon is only on the surface, there must be another force that has not been revealed.
Although Colliers does not have real evidence, it is enough to make a difference.
After giving many suspicious reports of Qinglong to Li Longji, this Li family Saburo suddenly became furious and said angrily: "In the past, the thief's brother Cui Xiang murdered Yu Zhen with poison, but fortunately Jingyuan reminded him to avoid this disaster. Cui Xiang's crime is enough to implicate his family. I remember that this thief is loyal to me, and I do not blame him. But I don't want to have two hearts early, it's really hateful, and I'm angry! ”
Of course, for Cui Cheng, Li Longji is indeed not as favored as Pei Min. But in his heart, Cui Cheng has always been one of his most trusted cronies.
There are high and low levels of grace, but there is no high or low level of trust.
It was also because of this trust that Li Longji ignored Qinglong's affairs, and it was also because of this trust that he was in a dilemma when he accused Pei Min, and finally chose to use troops for that little bit of eventuality.
If it were someone else, Li Longji would never believe it easily.
After the anger, Li Longji felt a palpitation again, Qinglong's situation was special, in the hands of Princess Taiping, they were pervasive, giving him great pressure, and even fearful of his heart.
It wasn't until Taiping was subdued and held the green dragon in his hand that this pressure was completely eliminated.
Now that I found out that Qinglong was still an enemy, that feeling came back again.
After a long groan, Li Longji said, "General Gao, I'm sorry for you to run." Summoning Pei Guogong into the palace ......" paused, and stopped Gao Lishi, who had just walked out of the hall, and said, "By the way, invite King Ning as well." ”
When Gao Lishi came to Pei Min's mansion, it was already past the wee hours of the morning.
Pei Min learned of Gao Lishi's arrival and smiled proudly at Jiao Chen.
Jiao Chen saw that everything was expected by Pei Min, and her heart was also slightly peaceful, so she sorted out Pei Min's clothes and said, "Now that the concubine can't see outsiders, I won't send you." ”
Pei Min kissed Jiao Chen's cheek lightly, and said with a bit of ambiguity: "Wait for me to come back!" ”
He knew that he wouldn't come back tonight, Jiao Chen was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep, and he didn't know the smell of meat for a long time, so he simply didn't sleep.
Jiao Chen gave a charming look.
