Chapter Seventy-Four: The Scheming of a Teenager
"Hehe, this is an exaggeration!" Yan Shuo was noncommittal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Since Wu Zheng doesn't believe it, then the old man asks you, do you remember the head of the Liu Mansion?" Li Deyu asked with a smile.
Yan Shuo nodded and said, "Naturally, I still told the envoy that there was such a person, and then the envoy asked me to tie him up!" ”
"And do you know who is planning all this? Why did Yan Heng take the initiative to tell you, you told the old man again, and then the old man instructed you to do all this? Li Deyu smiled mysteriously.
"Is it Li Zhen?" Yan Shuo asked rhetorically.
"Hahaha, yes, it's this baby, if the old man guessed correctly, Li Zhen had already asked Yan Heng to find the person in charge of the Liu Mansion when he was in prison, but he didn't act rashly, and even after the third envoy arrived, Li Zhen still didn't plan to move this person, until the will of the court came down, he instructed Yan Heng to tell you about it!"
"In the final analysis, this person is a winning chess piece in Li Zhen's hands, because although the three envoys arrived at Jiangling Mansion at that time, Li Zhen was not sure how things would develop, and Li Zhen also knew that as long as he didn't leave Jiangling Mansion, he would not worry about his life, so he could only calm down and not use this chess piece, until the will of the imperial court came down, Li Zhen knew that things were far beyond his imagination, so he used this chess piece!"
"And Li Zhen expected that you would inevitably tell the old man, so that you could borrow your hand to tie up the people of the Liu Mansion, so Li Zhen pushed the matter cleanly, even if Bai Minzhong wanted to hold a grudge, it was also recorded on your head and mine, in the end, you and I became pawns in Li Zhen's hands this time!"
Li Deyu said, but his face was full of approval.
Yan Shuo's face was full of surprise after hearing this, even if he was ashamed of himself as an official for more than ten years, he didn't want it all to be thought of by the sixteen-year-old baby.
"Hahaha, don't you think it's unbelievable? To be honest, this is what the old man only figured out after they left Jiangling, Li Zhen, the old man is really curious about how he has come over for more than ten years, and what he has experienced to have such a terrible scheming! Li Deyu stroked his beard lightly, his eyes were full of admiration, expectation, and curiosity.
"But Bai Minzhong still hates him!" Although Yan Shuo was surprised, he still said the key point.
But unexpectedly, Li Deyu smiled disapprerovingly: "It's true to hold a grudge, but invisibly Li Zhen tied the two of us to the same boat with him!" Now the old man is insignificant, but Wuzheng, you are the Jingnan soldiers and horses with the heavy troops of the eight states! With you in the back, even if Bai Minzhong wants to move any crooked thoughts, he has to weigh whether it is enough! ”
Yan Shuo was completely speechless after hearing this, and blushed for a long time before he scolded angrily: "Hmph! The stinky boy even dared to calculate, and after he returned from Chang'an, it would be difficult to beat him up, and I only hated it in my heart! ”
Li Deyu laughed when he heard this, and said, "Hahaha, Wuzheng, at that time, do you really dare?" ”
Yan Shuo was speechless for a moment.

"Lady, are you really planning to go back to Chang'an?" Yue'er asked excitedly.
Cheng Ling'er nodded, "Well, Qingluan went to Chang'an, and it doesn't make sense for me to stay in Jiangling Mansion any longer!" Why don't you go back to Chang'an with you! ”
"Will the lady come to Gangneung Mansion again?" Yue'er asked again.
"Maybe, the world is impermanent, who can say for sure!" Cheng Ling'er muttered to herself, and her delicate face was a little sad.
"When you arrive in Chang'an, is the lady free?" Yue'er then asked.
Cheng Ling'er smiled faintly when she heard this, and said, "Is it up to me to decide whether to be free or not?" And ......"
Cheng Ling'er didn't say any more, because she remembered a person, a person who treated herself like a daughter, a beautiful woman with a miserable background, and a woman who had a constant relationship with Li Zhen.
"That's it, let's not talk about this, are all the people arranged along the way in Li Zhen in place?" Cheng Ling'er asked instead.
"The lady can rest assured that these rangers have always admired the lady, and there is no opportunity to flatter on weekdays, and now the lady rarely has something to trust, and they are all scrambling to do it! The rangers on the way from Jiangling Mansion to Chang'an stayed on the road as soon as they got the news! Yue'er said with a smile.
......
In the blink of an eye, it has been seven days since Li Zhen left Jiangling Mansion, and the group has just passed Xiangzhou, but the road to Chang'an is only half the way, if it goes at this speed, it is almost impossible to arrive in Chang'an in early August.
But at this time, in the Hanliang Hall of Daming Palace in Chang'an City, Li Chen had not slept a peaceful sleep for several days, and even the "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries" in his hand had not been read for some days.
Li Chen's heart was difficult to calm down, and the closer he got to the day when Li Zhen and his party arrived, the more Li Chen became a little distraught.
As soon as he got out of the court meeting today, Li Chen went straight to Hanliang Palace, and then he kept pacing uneasily in the hall.
"You don't have to be anxious, the prince will arrive in about seven days!" Wang Guichang naturally could see what Li Chen was thinking, and said with words.
Li Chen couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, and said, "I'm not just anxious, it's been eleven years, how can you let me have the face to face him!" I'm anxious, but I'm even more ashamed! ”
"Everyone has their own difficulties, you were the King of Light before, even you are still difficult to protect, and the princes under your knees are still young, how can you have the extra strength to take care of the eldest prince! Presumably, the eldest prince can understand your distress! Wang Guichang bowed and replied.
"Alas, having said that, I still don't know how to explain it to Qingluan after seeing him!" Li Chen was still sad.
"Everyone must remember that this matter is not urgent, we must first clear the charge of the eldest prince, and the first problem for everyone now is to find a loyal and reliable minister to do these things, not everyone to give orders directly!" Wang Guichang said softly.
Li Chen nodded, agreeing with what Wang Guichang said, "Yes, who do you think I should let handle this matter?" ”
Wang Guichang hesitated for a moment before replying: "The squire of the military department, Jingzhao Yin Lu is a minister, he is loyal and upright, virtuous and pure, and skillful and fickle, and he used to be the secretary of Dali Temple and is familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, which can be used for this!" ”
"Lu Shang?" Li Chen frowned slightly, thought about it and said: "Well, after Lu Shang became a famous minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lu Zhi, the Lu family is known for his talents, that's him!" ”
"Besides, it's inconvenient for me to come forward in this matter now!" Li Chen said again.
When Wang Guichang heard this, he immediately replied: "The old slave will go and explain everything to Lu Weichen!" ”
"Well, but don't let anyone else know about it, at least not yet!" Li Chen instructed again.
"Rest assured, the old slave has his own measure!"
"Well, you go and handle this matter immediately, don't make any mistakes!"
Wang Guichang nodded yes, and then slowly retreated.
However, Li Chen's heart did not become relaxed at all because of this, and he added a lot of guilt and intolerance to his son, who had not been masked for eleven years.
