"Speaking of which, Li Houji has also been embarrassed in the past few days, but if it weren't for the old man's real difficulties, he would definitely not have dragged him to this troubled water!"
Li Deyu took a sip of tea soup and looked helpless.
After hearing this, Manager Zhang comforted softly: "Lang Jun don't blame yourself, you and Li Houji (Li Jingzhuang's eldest brother Li Jingwen) already have a lot of friendship, Li Wenji repeatedly failed the exam, and his mother Zheng beat Li Houji a lot, if you didn't help it in secret, I'm afraid that Li Houji is still suffering from the old lady's board, and Li Wenji is still studying hard in the cold window!" ”
Speaking of this, Manager Zhang and Li Deyu couldn't help laughing, and when they talked about it, they were also rumored to be a laughing stock inside and outside the court for a while.
At that time, Li Jingrang officials worshiped the envoys of Zhejiang, and the third brother Li Jingzhuang repeatedly failed the exam, and whenever at this time, his mother Zheng used a whip to whip Li Jingrang, in order to punish him for his poor teaching of Li Jingzhuang, so he smoked for several years, but Li Jingrang was unwilling to use his relationship to go to the court to intercede for Li Jingzhuang, until finally Li Deyu heard about this before hinting that the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials released water for Li Jingzhuang, so Li Jingzhuang was only a scholar and the first to be a school secretary of the Hongwenguan, and then to the current supervision of the imperial history.
So to put it in detail, Li Deyu also has the grace of Li Jingzhuang, which also exempted Li Jingrang from the pain of whipping every year.
So strictly speaking, Li Jingzhuang should be regarded as a person on Li Deyu's side, but very few people knew about this matter back then, otherwise Bai Minzhong would definitely not let Li Jingzhuang serve as the three envoys.
In order to be able to delay for some time to buy some time for himself and His Majesty, Li Deyu had to use this relationship, although this step is very likely to affect Li Jingzhuang, but the matter has come to this point Li Deyu has to do so.
After all, compared with the practice of letting Yan Shuo send troops to forcibly block the three envoys, this move was risk-free, and it was reasonable.
"Hold on for a few more days, I think the old man's recital has already arrived in front of His Majesty, so within five days, the court will definitely have a will!" Li Deyu gently put the tea cup on the table, got up and paced slowly in the room.
Manager Zhang nodded after hearing this, but still said with some concern: "I just don't know how Your Majesty will arrange it, and I don't know if Li Zhen will be recalled here!" ”
Li Deyu smiled faintly when he heard this, and said: "Even if you recognize Li Zhen's son, it won't be at this time, at least until Your Majesty completely clears Li Zhen's charges, so this time is the real triage of the three divisions!" ”
After finishing speaking, Li Deyu seemed to think of something again, turned to Manager Zhang and said, "You go and tell Yan Shuo and let him pick out five hundred elite horsemen in the next few days, and prepare to escort Li Zhen and Xiao Zhong into Beijing!" ”
"Remember, you have to let him pick them one by one, don't be sloppy!"
Quan Chen, this kind of person is born with a sharp mind beyond ordinary people, and he can always anticipate the opportunity whenever he encounters something, and then calmly make the most correct response.
Undoubtedly, Li Deyu is this kind of person, in his opinion, nothing in this world can escape his eyes, even if he is in Jingnan, he can guess and see through every move in the Chang'an court, including today.
That's his self-confidence.
......
At the same time, Chang'an Daming Palace, Xuanzheng Palace.
Today is the day of the monthly routine of looking at the dynasty, the civil and military officials kneeling on both sides with wat boards in their hands, and Li Chen is sitting on the bed of the head of the Hu, wearing a bright yellow robe and the surrounding golden and brilliant hall complement each other, plus the twelve Yulin soldiers on both sides, it highlights the majesty of the emperor's family.
Before Li Chen could speak, he saw Zheng Su take the lead and say: "Your Majesty, there is a Jingnan Festival today to make Li Deyu ......"
"I know, let's present the song!" Before Zheng Su finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Li Chen.
The eunuch in the palace presented the song to Li Chen, Li Chen only glanced at it, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and then put the song Shu on the case casually, and then said to Zheng Su:
"I know about this matter, and I have handed it over to Bai Xiang to deal with!"
Zheng Su silently retreated to his original position when he heard this, although Li Chen didn't say anything, Zheng Su could still vaguely feel the unhappiness on Li Chen's face at this time.
Even Zheng Su could feel Li Chen's displeasure precisely because of himself and Li Deyu, thinking of this, a trace of cold sweat oozed from Zheng Su's forehead, and at the same time, a touch of ominous premonition appeared in his heart.
......
In fact, as early as two days before Li Deyu arrived at the Chang'an Imperial Court, the messenger sent by Li Chen had rushed to Jiangling Mansion for 800 miles.
Tang post station is divided into land post and water post, of which the land post is set up every thirty miles, according to the size of the total six grades, the largest post station is always equipped with seventy-five horses, the smallest post station is also equipped with eight horses, among which there are a small number of war horses in each post station for emergency use. The 800-mile rush means that you need to change horses constantly, and the daily journey must reach at least 600 miles, and Jiangling Mansion is more than 2,000 miles away from Chang'an, so it can be reached in four days at most.
That is to say, when Li Deyu's song arrived in Chang'an, Li Chen's messenger would be able to reach Jiangling Mansion in two days at most.
This is something Li Deyu never expected, because he ignored one person, Li Chengye.
After Li Chengye couldn't get any news from Li Deyu that day, he directly asked Wang Po to find Cheng Ling'er, because he believed that there must be some special information channel between Cheng Ling'er and His Majesty.
And it was through this channel that Li Chengye gave Li Chen everything that happened in Jiangling Mansion at this time, which made Li Deyu's performance slow down for two whole days.
In the final analysis, Li Deyu underestimated Li Chen, and he was able to pretend to be crazy and stupid for more than ten years without being recognized, how could he be an ordinary person.
The reason why Li Chen saw through Li Deyu's wishful thinking was because this king who grew up in sorrow did not have the same confidence as Li Deyu, so he had to doubt everyone.
And the reason why Li Deyu can't see through Li Chen is precisely because he is too confident.
And it is precisely because of these two letters, because of Li Deyu's wishful thinking, that Li Chen finally made up a determination in his heart, a determination to shake the court inside and outside in the near future.
This is what Li Chen must do, and it is also a trouble that a king must solve, Li Chen himself knows that even if he can't bear it, but for the sake of his own Tang Dynasty and his own world, this matter must be done.
The morning sun is rising, and the morning glow is spilling obliquely from the eastern sky, covering the entire Daming Palace with a layer of red, as bright as blood, and even faintly there is a faint bloody atmosphere diffuse.
Li Chen's eyes looked at the bright red through the doors and windows of the Xuanzheng Palace, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart, a pinprick like a tingling pain.
