Chapter 416: Retreat (Part II)
"Father, the child thinks that Di Renjie must have come for the matter of Hexi, this is a bamboo pole sent to the door, you must not knock!"
Li Chong's reaction was very fast, and he was only slightly stunned before he judged Di Renjie's intention, and when he saw his old father frowning, he immediately reminded him from the side.
"Father, what the eldest brother said is very true, since the king dares to commit such a huge case, if he doesn't show some benefits, don't think that we will prevaricate for him!" Li Qian was obviously of the same idea as Li Chong, and before Li Zhen could make a statement, he had already echoed with a smile.
"Father, although what the eldest brother and the second brother said is reasonable, but the third brother is still in Hexi, if it is ......"
Although Li Gui is young, his mind is very meticulous, not only did he see the opportunity to knock on the bamboo pole, but he also did not forget that Li Wen was not so much spying on Li Xian in Hexi at the moment, but rather a meat ticket in Li Xian's hand.
"Well, Chong'er, Di Shaoqing is a member of the court after all, since he came, he really shouldn't lose his courtesy, Er Ke led his brothers to greet him first, and said that his father had just started his lunch break, and then he came, please wait for a while in the second entrance hall." Li Zhen did not judge the remarks of the third son, but just silently sent the three sons out.
"Yes, the boy obeys!"
Since Li Zhen had already given the order, Li Chong didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly answered, and led the two younger brothers to hurriedly go to the mansion together.
"Shoude, do you have any thoughts on this?"
After Li Chong and the others went, Li Zhen did not rush to a conclusion, but tilted his head, glanced at Pei Shoude, who was frowning, and asked expressionlessly.
"Those who come are not good, those who are good are not coming, I am afraid that the bamboo pole of His Royal Highness is not so easy to knock, there must be another mystery here, but the son-in-law will not be able to guess it for a while."
Pei Shoude is not as optimistic as Li Chong and others, although he has not had much contact with Li Xian, but he knows that Li Xian's methods are ruthless and calculating, and he is by no means easy to talk to, so he doesn't dare to underestimate it, for Di Renjie, who is Li Xian's number one general, came to the door at this time, he always felt that the taste was wrong, but he couldn't see through the roots, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart, and he had been guessing what was strange, but unfortunately there was too little information obtained, and he really couldn't think about it. He told what he was thinking.
"Well, Lone also thinks that things are not so easy to get along with, it's just that, since people have arrived, it's not good not to see them, so Shoude will go with Lone." Li Zhen is a scheming person, and he agrees with Pei Shoude's words, and he can't think of a clue when he thinks about it, so he simply doesn't think about it anymore, stands up, and after muttering for a while, he raised his eyebrows, and has made a decision.
"No."
Li Zhen was determined, Pei Shoude would not object, hurriedly stood up, answered the promise, and cautiously moved behind Li Zhen, and the two of them walked towards the door of the study one after the other.
"Father."
didn't wait for Li Zhen to walk to the door, but saw that Li Chong had already led his two younger brothers out from behind the screen.
"Huh?"
Li Zhen never expected Li Chong to turn back so quickly, and he was stunned when he landed, with a suspicious look on his face.
"Father, Di Renjie didn't enter the house, but just exchanged a few words with the child outside the door, and handed over the thing to the child, saying that he wanted the child to be handed over to his father."
Seeing Li Zhen's unhappy face, Li Chong didn't dare to be the slightest slack, hurriedly held up a letter in his hand, and hurriedly explained a sentence.
"Oh?"
As soon as she heard this, Li Zhen's brows couldn't help frowning, and she didn't talk any more nonsense, she directly reached out and took the letter, tore open the seal, took out a piece of letter paper full of words from the inside, spread it out, just looked at it, her face turned white in an instant, and the hand holding the letter couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Father's ......"
As soon as he saw Li Zhen in such a gaffe, Li Chong was anxious, and called out with concern on his face.
"Wait for all of them to stand down!"
Li Zhen didn't say anything to explain, but waved his hand impatiently to the three sons who were surprised and inexplicable, and scolded him coldly.
"Father, this ......"
As the eldest son, Li Chong had never been treated so coldly by his father, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Stand down!"
Li Zhen was obviously not in the mood to explain more, and broke off her throat impatiently.
"No!"
Seeing that Li Zhen was already angry, Li Chong didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly bowed down to answer the promise, and led the two younger brothers to hurriedly exit the study.
"Lord Wang."
After Li Chong and the others went, Li Zhen didn't say anything more, dragged his feet, slowly paced back to the back of a few sons, and fell heavily on the Hu bed, holding his chin with his hand, as if he was in deep thought, a pair of eyes flickered from time to time, his face was changing, and a gloomy depressing atmosphere spread in the huge study, but in a moment, the breath in the study was so depressed that it was simply suffocating, and under the huge pressure, Pei Shoude, who was standing down, was a little breathless, so he called in a low voice.
"Hmm."
Hearing the sound, Li Zhen raised her head, didn't say much, shook her hand, and threw the letter paper in her hand to a few pieces at random.
"Ah, this, this ......"
Seeing this, Pei Shoude didn't dare to slack off, walked quickly to a few sons, stretched out his hands, picked up the letterhead, and quickly went through it, his face instantly turned pale, his body trembled, and the corners of his mouth twitched and he didn't know what to say - the letter was not long, and only one thing was written inside, which was the number and equipment of the Xiangzhou militia group, and there was nothing else, but this one article was enough to put Li Zhen in danger, just because Xiangzhou was not a border state, and it was forbidden to set up a private militia according to the law. Not to mention that the armed forces of this militia have caught up with or even surpassed the government soldiers, if this matter is stabbed out, although Li Zhen may not be killed because of this, but I am afraid that a big trouble will not be avoided, at least I have to take off the skin.
"What a crazy child, it's the old man who underestimates you, hehe, the future is terrifying!"
Li Zhen Huoran stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed a few words.
"Lord, this matter can be big or small, even if it makes trouble in the court, it may not be able to ......"
Seeing that Li Zhen was so annoyed, Pei Shoude had to speak out to try to comfort him.
"Shoude, needless to say, Lone knows the severity, it's just that, how to toss that guy in Hexi, let him go, the matter of the militia, you can solve it, save people from doing this in the future."
Before Pei Shoude finished speaking, Li Zhen waved his hand, stopped talking, and made a decisive decision in his tone.
"Yes, my son-in-law knows what to do."
Seeing that things had come to such a field, Pei Shoude didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he could only respectfully agree, turned around, and hurriedly withdrew from the room.
"Good boy, there's a kind!"
Li Zhen ignored Pei Shoude's retreat, slowly walked to the closed window, raised his hand, pushed the window open, and a cold wind poured into the room wildly, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, but Li Zhen was not moved by the cold at all, a pair of old eyes looked at the northwest sky with a pair of old eyes, and squeezed out a sentence that seemed to praise and disparage from between his teeth......
"Chongyan, in your opinion, is there anything strange behind Qiu Shenxian's case?"
Just when Li Zhen was full of emotion, in a side room of the Qianyuan Palace, the martial queen with a white fox fur fur was leaning lazily on the Hu bed, supporting her cheeks with her hands, looking at Ming Chongyan who was standing under her head casually, and asked lightly.
"Back to Niangniang's words, this case is quite suspicious from the case file, there is no doubt that it must be a fake case, if Weichen is not bad, this case is inseparable from the British king, if possible, it should be thoroughly investigated!"
The detailed report on the death of Qiu Shenyun in Lanzhou has not yet arrived in Luoyang, but Ming Chongyan has already learned the details from a secret channel, and he has already made up his mind at this time.
"Thorough investigation? Well, it should be thoroughly investigated, such a huge case cannot be hastily resolved, according to Qing's opinion, who can investigate this case? ”
Empress Wu naturally doesn't believe in the so-called Tubo people's assassination, and doesn't want to watch the entire Hexi fall into the hands of Li Xian, but now there is no Dali Temple at hand, and most of the government has fallen into the hands of the prince because of Gaozong's edict, and Empress Wu can no longer control the court situation as in the past, and it is quite tricky to meddle in the Qiu Shenqian case, and it is difficult to have a perfect idea when thinking about the sun, which will summon Ming Chongyan into the palace.
"Back to Niangniang, this case must be thoroughly investigated, however, but not by our side to investigate, otherwise, attracting criticism is one thing, and it is more likely to repeat the mistakes of Qiu Shenjiao, according to Weichen, the third son of King Yue is involved in this case, if you let Pei Shoude go on a journey, I think that with the ability of King Yue, maybe I can really uncover the truth of this case."
Ming Chongyan hated Li Xian deeply, but whenever he could give him the opportunity to find some trouble, he never let go, as soon as he learned the news of the Lanzhou case, he had already begun to think about countermeasures, and he had already achieved success in his heart.
"Pei Shoude? Well, this son of the palace has heard of it, it is said that he is quite talented, and he can rest assured that the palace can rest assured, even so, when the court discussed, Aiqing recommended it to him. ”
Empress Wu's original intention was also to force King Yue to the opposite side of Li Xian, and at this time, when she heard Ming Chongyan say this, she would not object, nodded thoughtfully, and then lightly high-fived, and settled the matter.
"Niang Niang Shengming."
As soon as he heard that Empress Wu agreed to his proposal, although Ming Chongyan's face was still calm, his eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of schadenfreude......
