Chapter 229: The Synodic Pilgrimage (I)
The truth of the Feng family's murder case, which was distorted by the prince and the criminal department, gradually reversed the public opinion in Chang'an City, and then showed it in front of Li Shimin with the most objective facts, and Li Su's goal was achieved.
It took a lot of effort, the result was not bad, as for the final result of the Feng family's murder, it was no longer up to Li Suneng, in order to save Zheng Xiaolou, he tried his best to risk losing his head, and he could only do it to this point, and Zheng Xiaolou's life and death depend on the will of God.
Acting a full set, Li Su, who pretended to be sick, had to stay at home every day and not go out, so angry that he was walking around with a face full of energy, which was too insulting to the intelligence of His Majesty the emperor and the courtiers.
It's not boring at home, practice calligraphy every day, read books, see that winter is coming, ask Steward Xue to invite a few craftsmen, guide them to repair the sauna at home, and build a clay kang in their bedroom, Sanjiu cold winter bare-chested into the hot summer bathroom to steam a pillar of incense, sweat out and wash again, and then lie down on the kang, a pot of chilled grapes to stuff the belly, oops, so beautiful that the kang doesn't even know the shoes......
Li Daozheng was a little strange about his son's appearance in recent days, he had to lie on the bed and pretend to be sick, the official came to visit, and he also looked like he was dying, which made Li Daozheng inexplicably feel a little sad about the white-haired person sending the black-haired person.
"The Feng family's murder case is very big?" Li Daozheng asked very bluntly, and the old farmer who had been in his life for half his life actually had a sensitive heart to politics.
Li Su smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's a bit of a big fuss, Zheng Xiaolou's life and death are unpredictable, and the child is also a little dangerous......"
"So you're pretending to be sick at home?"
"Yes, not only pretending to be sick, but also resigning. Waiting for His Majesty to express his position......" Li Su admitted honestly.
Li Daozheng squinted and thought about it, shook his head and sighed: "I don't understand the matter of being an official, son, you have grown up, and you make your own decisions about everything." If you think it's right, do it, but it doesn't matter if it's bad, at worst, we still have hundreds of acres of land, which are left to you. ”
Li Daozheng said, his tone became stern: "...... But you have to remember that no matter what you do, you must save your life, like weeds in a field, the grass is shoveled and not tightened. As long as the roots buried in the soil are still there, new shoots will definitely sprout again in the next spring, and if even the roots are removed, there is no hope, your life is your root, and it must be saved. ”
Li Su showed a look of surprise, stared at Li Daozheng for a long time, and said, "Dad." We've known each other for so long, and it's the first time I've heard you say such a profound truth. Dad, you're very talented......"
Li Daozheng straightened his face: "Lao Tzu wants to pump you again...... How long have I known you, huh? ”
A strange thought quickly floated in Li Su's mind, and the bad water in his stomach bubbled up, and he winked at his father: "Dad, let's play a quick question and answer trick, okay?" The child asks a question. You don't think twice and quickly answer......"
"What do you ask?"
"Dad, how many acres of land do we have?"
"Four hundred." Li Daozheng replied quickly.
"How many rooms?"
"Twenty or so."
Li Su's speech slowly accelerated: "How many people are in our family?" ”
"Twelve."
"What's the housekeeper's last name?"
"Xue." Li Daozheng's answer is getting faster and faster.
"What did you eat for lunch?"
"Lamb."
"How much alcohol did you drink?"
"Three."
"What is my mother's background?"
"The ...... of the Founding Meritorious Service" Li Daozheng blurted out, and then suddenly became alert, and the second half of the sentence paused, and then his eyes widened in a daze......
Li Su showed a triumphant smile: "Dad." You know too much......"
"Melon cowardice, dare to tease Lao Tzu!" Li Daozheng was furious, and at the same time as he jumped up, the magic weapon also came out in response to the curse.
Li Su had already prepared, and he quickly hugged his head before the magic weapon fell on his body.
Li Daozheng couldn't catch up, and in a fit of rage, he took off the magic weapon and flew out, and Li Su's figure disappeared quickly after a miserable scream.
************************************************************
It was a very rewarding day.
Played with a little cleverness, and set out the words of my father, it turned out that the mother who had never met was related to the founding of the country, and most of today's founding achievements are in the prime of life at the age of forty or fifty, but I don't know which one it is, it doesn't matter, the future will be long.
There is another gain, Li Su found that his father actually learned the long-range strike method of volleying rattan, which proved that his father was ...... The catastrophe has escalated?
Kind-hearted, can you happily provoke him in the future?
…………
After pretending to be sick at home for a few days, the Feng family's murder case finally came to an end.
On this morning, a Zhongshushe man named Jiang Gu visited Li Su, and Li Su hurriedly went back to his room to lie down, and continued to wait for the visit of the Zhongshusheren with a dying appearance.
Disappointingly, Jiang Gu turned a blind eye to Li Su's dying appearance, and just conveyed Li Shimin's will with a businesslike expression, and the will was very simple, tomorrow the Taiji Palace will meet, and His Majesty Xuanjing County Prince Li Su participated.
"Lord Jiang, don't make trouble, Xia Guan is terminally ill and still participates in the court meeting......" Li Su was very ill and unprofessional, so he blurted out and excused.
Jiang Gu's face was a little ugly: "Li Xianzi, you don't make trouble, Your Majesty said, the Feng family's murder case will be known tomorrow, what's the point of pretending to be it?" ”
Li Su's expression was stunned, why was he seen through again?
Jiang Gu smiled again: "Your Majesty knows that Li Xianzi has been wronged, Li Xianzi's illness should also be cured, tomorrow is the court meeting, and it will be too delaying to pretend to be too much, what does Li Xianzi think?" ”
hesitated for a moment whether to continue pretending, and finally Li Su decided not to be hypocritical. Now that it has been seen through, it is a redress to be a laipi, and it is inevitable that it will fall behind.
So Li Su, who was terminally ill and only had one breath left, suddenly bounced up from the bed with a hundred times more energy, moved his hands and feet, and showed an extremely surprised look: "Huh? It's amazing that my illness was cured without medicine! ”
Jiang Gu: "............"
…………
…………
The court meeting of the Tang Dynasty is generally set at the time of Mao, about six o'clock in the morning, the court meeting is not customized, the diligent emperor is a daily court meeting, if it is a lazy emperor, it depends on his mood. It's just that on the first day of each month, the fifteenth day of the month is a must-have big court meeting, called "Shuowang Dynasty Ginseng", and officials above the ninth grade in the six departments of the three provinces must participate.
Li Su has a good life, although he is a five-grade official, but the Firearms Bureau is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. is not within the three provinces and six ministries, so Li Su has never participated in the court meeting.
Tomorrow is the first day of the 11th lunar month, which happens to be the day of the New Year's Day.
It is very troublesome to participate in the court meeting, especially for an official like Li Su who lives outside Chang'an City, the court meeting has already started at six o'clock in the morning, obviously he cannot wait until tomorrow morning to leave, the emperor can be late for this kind of thing, but the courtiers must not be late. If you meet an emperor who happens to be in the mood to get up, in case you are not in a good mood, it is not impossible to be pulled out and chopped off after being late.
Therefore, Li Su immediately set off after receiving Li Shimin's will, and lived in the official post of the Ministry of Rites in Chang'an City that day, and stayed until the next day before dawn, when the doors of each square were not opened, he had to wear a good waist card and wear an official uniform. If it's a little safer, even the official certificate must be carried with you, and then knock on the door all the way. Heading towards the Taiji Palace.
This night, Li Su in the official post had insomnia.
The Feng family's murder case will have a result tomorrow, and Li Su can't help but feel a little anxious.
Zheng Xiaolou's life and death only depend on tomorrow, and looking at his appearance in the past few days, in fact, it is just a mess of punches. The East Palace was smashed by surprise, after all, the method of using public opinion is only used in troubled times, Li Chengqian did not expect that there are also people using it in the peaceful years now, and the impact of rumors is so great. Within a few days, the original distorted murder case was completely reversed.
Li Su borrowed the "potential" and skillfully used the "potential", but the final result was joy or sorrow, but it was not something he could control.
What worries Li Su is that since the rumors have been stormy in the city, the East Palace has not made any moves, of course, it is wise to remain silent when the city is full of storms, but Li Su always feels unsteady.
Li Chengqian...... Did they ambush the backhand?
…………
Early in the morning, the time will pass, and hundreds of officials will go to court.
Li Su put on his official uniform, knocked on the door after wearing the waist card, and the official carefully checked his waist card and bowed to him, and then opened the door to let him go.
All the way to the Taiji Palace Chengtian Gate, the sky is not yet dawn, and there are already many courtiers waiting in front of the palace gate.
Li Su squinted and swept around, found a few familiar figures, and hurriedly walked over to salute.
"The kid meets Uncle Cheng, Uncle Niu, Uncle Li......"
Bowed in a circle, his head was a little dizzy, he didn't remember who hadn't saluted, he straightened up and recalled carefully, they were all a bunch of old killers who killed people without blinking, and none of them could be offended, so Li Su was uncertain and gave a salute to Cheng Yanjin again: "Boy, meet Cheng ......"
was kicked on the ass for no reason, and the British Duke Li Ji glared at him very unhappily: "Bow after salute, what do you mean?" What about sending Cheng Lao Pifu to the end? ”
"Huh?" Li Su was stunned and hurriedly apologized: "The kid is not sensible, apologize to Uncle Cheng......"
Cheng Yanjin was wearing a purple official uniform, with an ivory board diagonally inserted on his belt, squinting at Li Suyin and smiling: "Don't worry, next month's liquor workshop will deduct you ten times, which can be regarded as an apology to the old man." ”
Niu Jinda stepped forward and gave him a whole hat, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Why did the little baby come to the court meeting?" Did Your Majesty call you here? ”
Li Su hurriedly responded.
Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda quickly exchanged glances, lowered their voices and said, "The Feng family's case? ”
Li Su smiled bitterly: "Yes." ”
Niu Jinda looked around left and right, pulled Li Su to a remote place, and said in a deep voice: "Recently, rumors have spread all over the city, little baby, you tell the truth to the old man, did you make trouble?" ”
Li Su hurriedly denied: "No, although the kid is muddy, he doesn't have that much courage, how dare I provoke His Royal Highness the Prince, Uncle Niu ...... scare the boy."
Niu Jinda looked at him carefully a few times, and then nodded: "The old man thought about it, and he also felt that it shouldn't be you, although your kid broke into the notoriety of a 'little bastard' in Chang'an, he is not a person who does not distinguish between importance and importance, and the East Palace is not something you can shake...... In this way, I am afraid that the recent rumors are inseparable from King Wei......"
Li Su hurriedly nodded heavily, and said very sincerely: "The boy is an honest man, if you can't do anything to spread rumors, it must be the ...... of King Wei."
- I've only done the first half of the job.
Niu Jinda looked at him silently for a long time, and then sighed: "Originally, the old man thought it wasn't you, but you said that you were an honest man, and the old man had to doubt you again......
