Lu Tian's face looked slightly meaningful, and said with a smile: "As early as five days ago, I told my brother about this matter, presumably it has already arrived in front of Your Majesty!" ”

"With Jing Zhaoyin as the minister, what else is Chen Tingshi worried about, if it goes well, maybe the people in the capital are already on their way to Youzhou!" Zheng Lun also smiled and said to Chen Qiong.

"There are not only ministers, but also righteous and respectful of the public, there are two of them, the righteous and honest are loyal and upright all his life, with his temperament, he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore this matter!"

The "minister" in Zheng Lun's mouth is Jingzhao Yin Lu Shang, and Lu is a minister. And the righteous and respectful of the public is the right servant of the Chao Shangshu, Zheng Su.

When Li Zhen entered Beijing for the trial of the three divisions because of Liu Rui's case, they met in the capital of Shangshu Province, and Zheng Su also drove Bai Minzhong out for this reason.

......

Chang'an City, Yanying Palace.

Winter nights always come earlier and longer.

When it was near, Wang Guichang had filled the lamp oil in the hall three times, and it was a little dim, but it was still bright.

Li Chen slowly put the "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries" in his hand on the table, raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples, which were a little sore, and leaned back slightly with his originally straight body, leaning on the table.

"Everyone, it's time to rest!" Wang Guichang gently draped the slightly slippery robe for Li Chen.

Li Chen's eyes were slightly closed, although he had been on the throne for less than a year, wrinkles had already climbed up the forehead of this thirty-six-year-old man, and there were more silver threads between his temples.

And these should not be the ones that should appear at this age.

"Wang Guichang, what do you think I should do about this?" Li Chen closed his eyes and asked softly, his words full of exhaustion.

Wang Guichang thought about it after hearing this, and said: "Lu Fuyin and Zheng Fushu are both pillars of the country, and this move can be regarded as worrying about the country and the people, as for how to decide, the old slave believes that everyone has their own measure!"

Hearing this, Li Chen opened his eyes and glared at Wang Guichang, and said angrily: "You old man has never leaked a drop of water, I'm afraid you already know my sense of proportion!" ”

Wang Guichang couldn't help laughing and said: "The old slave is all praise for everyone!" ”

"You old thing!" Li Zhen glanced at Wang Guichang, but then he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Qingluan, this kid is too flamboyant, and I don't know who he looks like, anyway, it's not like me!" ”

"Being able to bend and stretch like everyone is the way to live in the world, the eldest prince is still too young!"

Li Chen nodded and said, "Qingluan is too careless this time, how can such a thing as private placement of soldiers and horses be discovered so easily, with the temperament of Zheng Su and Lu Shang, I am afraid it will not be so easy to give up!" ”

After thinking about it, Wang Guichang said: "It's better for everyone to delay it for a few days, and when the matter over there is almost over in Qingluan, it will naturally pass!" ”

Li Chen sneered and said: "Hehe, you said it lightly, this matter says that the stool is big, and the urine is small, Zheng Su and Lu Shang are in Chang'an, if there is no one on the Yingzhou side, how can they know?" ”

"Do you mean that there are the Xingyang Zheng family and the Fanyang Lu family behind this?" Wang Guichang asked.

"I'm afraid that there are more than these two, Yingzhou also has the Qinghe Cui family and the Taiyuan Wang family, it is estimated that Qingluan has done something to damage the interests of these famous families, as long as Qingluan does not stop, this matter will not be over!"

Li Chen was a little worried, Li Zhen was in Lulong, a lonely family, how could he be the opponent of these famous families.

"Then what do you mean......" Wang Guichang asked puzzled.

At this time, I saw Li Chen getting up slowly, and then pacing back and forth in the hall, his face even more haggard under the reflection of the candlelight.

At this moment, an attendant walked slowly with a bowl of ginseng soup, Wang Guichang took the ginseng soup, and then presented it to Li Chen with both hands, and said: "The wind is cold at night, everyone drink the ginseng soup first to warm up!" ”

Li Chen took the ginseng soup, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his face was slightly hesitant, and the jade spoon in his hand was gently scooped, but he never ate it.

"Where is Li Deyu now?" Suddenly, Li Chen asked.

When Wang Guichang heard this, he immediately replied: "Everyone forgot? A while ago, Gong Wenrao was just demoted to the Eastern Capital to stay behind, and he must be in the Eastern Capital at this time! ”

Li Chen nodded, turned around and stuffed the ginseng soup back into Wang Guichang's hand, and walked to the front of the desk in a few steps.

The bamboo pen is dipped in ink, the wrist is like flying, and a few lines of small letters on the pale yellow rattan paper leap out.

The pen is like a knife, the turn is sharp, although it is only more than ten words, but between the lines there is a fierce atmosphere.

After writing, Li Chen handed the letter to Wang Guichang and said, "You immediately find someone to send this letter to Li Deyu, and it must be delivered within two days!" ”

Wang Guichang took the order and left, but was immediately stopped by Li Chen.

"Let Zhou Gui do it, bring my dictation, and order Li Deyu to make a verbal reply immediately!"

"Don't worry, the old slave will do it!"

......

Two days later, the eastern capital.

The Eastern Capital is an idle errand, and it can't be any more idle.

In Datang's unspoken rules, once you sit in this position, it is almost equal to the possibility of reinstatement again.

So Li Deyu's heart died after he sat in this position.

The biggest disappointment is that his heart is like ashes, but for Li Deyu, this is despair.

If you chase power all your life, you will inevitably be burdened by power in the end.

The Li Mansion is no longer the Li Mansion of the year, but Li Deyu is still the Li Deyu of the year.

The generation of powerful ministers in the Wuzong era who covered the sky with one hand has finally experienced the loneliness of the door and the despair of doing nothing.

The tea soup is warm, reflecting Li Deyu's old face and silver threads.

"Nobita's true deeds are dangerous, and Fanyu is towering. Every time the sun and moon pass over the shoulder, the mountains and rivers are long in the palm of the hand. The fairy peak is not intermittent, and the spiritual realm is cold in June. There are also few people above, and the twilight bell is in the blue clouds. ”

Li Deyu recited softly the poems written by Li Yi, the king of light, when he became a monk in Qiantang.

Li Yi, the king of light, is Li Chen, the son of heaven before he ascended the throne.

"Hehe, every time the sun and moon pass over the shoulder, the mountains and rivers grow in the palm of your hand!"

Li Deyu's smile looked so ugly.

Bang bang bang –

At this moment, I heard a knock on the door.

"Lang Jun, someone from the capital is here!"

The voice of the old steward outside the door sounded a little excited.

It was late at night, and someone from the capital came, which made Li Deyu a little overwhelmed.

It's been a long time since anyone from the capital.

"Who?" Li Deyu asked.

"Waiter, Zhou Gui!"

Li Deyu didn't remember such a name in the Inner Servant Province, and said casually: "Take him to rest, see you tomorrow!" ”

"Lang Jun...... It came with a purpose! ”

"Will? Let's take him to the study first! When Li Deyu heard this, he put down the teacup, put on his official uniform again, and pushed the door out.

When he came to the study, Zhou Gui stepped forward and bowed: "Zhou Gui, the head of the Inner Servant Province, meet Gong Wen Rao!" ”

Li Deyu waved his hand and said, "Director Zhou should announce the decree directly!" ”

After saying that, Li Deyu was about to kneel down to receive the order, but was stopped by Zhou Gui.

"Gong Wen Rao, Your Majesty said, this is a secret decree, it is inconvenient to read it, Gong Wen Rao should read it himself!"

As he spoke, Zhou Gui handed a letter to Li Deyu with both hands.

Li Deyu, who was full of suspicion, took the letter, and then slowly opened it, Zhou Gui noticed that Li Deyu's hand was a little trembling, so that he couldn't rub the rattan paper away for a long time.

"Gong Wen Rao, I'll come!" After Zhou Gui took the rattan paper and rubbed it open, he turned the back of the rattan paper towards himself and handed it to Li Deyu again.

Li Deyu's eyes were a little dazed, and he looked at the handwriting on the rattan paper and didn't speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty's words are still so sharp!"

After staring for a long time, Li Deyu slowly spoke.

"Your Majesty's dictation, Gong Wen Rao will reply immediately after reading it!" Zhou Gui said.

It seems that Li Deyu has expected this result, and staggered to the front of the case, and was about to catch the pen, but he only heard Zhou Gui and said: "Wen Rao Gong, Your Majesty said it, just reply verbally, no need to write!" ”

Li Deyu was stunned for a long time, then nodded and said, "Yes, how can this kind of thing be seen on paper!" The old man is confused! ”

There was some helplessness in the words, but more of it was mixed with a touch of desolation.

Li Deyu sat down tremblingly, his eyes slightly closed, his silver beard twisted lightly, and his expression was slightly sad.

"Master Zhou, please remember!" Li Deyu said.

"Gong Wen Rao, please speak!" Zhou Gui took a few steps forward and said softly.

"The old minister stayed in the Eastern Capital with a guilty body, thanks to His Majesty's refusal to abandon the ministers, His Majesty's letter said that the increase in damage and benefit is related to the national system, and it must be observed; Shang and Su, as ministers of the state, heard that they talked about the affairs of the feudal town in vain to benefit the business of their families, and this crime is in the community, and they must not be punished......"

When Li Deyu said this, his face had become extremely pale, and even his breath had become much heavier.

After a long silence, Li Deyu took a deep breath before continuing: "According to the old ministers, Shang is the envoy of the Wuchang Festival, and the Zhongshu Shilang is the envoy of the Jingnan Festival...... Set an example! ”

After saying that, Li Deyu's originally sitting body tilted to the side, and if it weren't for Zhou Gui's quick hand to hold him, he was afraid that he would fall to the ground.

"Wenrao Gong......" Zhou Gui's face became a little ugly, and Li Deyu was afraid that he would not be able to hold on to this appearance for a few days.

"It's okay...... It's okay......" Li Deyu sat upright again, his arms heavily on the desk, and he seemed to be a little out of strength.

"Have you remembered everything about Master Zhou?" Li Deyu asked weakly.

"Wen Rao Gong rest assured, the rules of the week have been written!"

Li Deyu nodded, then waved his hand at Zhou Gui, and said, "Master Zhou, go back to your life quickly!" ”

"Wen Rao Gong take care!" Zhou Gui saluted and turned out.

After Zhou Gui left, Li Deyu was finally unable to support it, and his body slowly slid to the ground again.

......

Chang'an City, Yanying Palace.

After listening to Zhou Gui's narration, a faint smile gradually appeared on Li Chen's face.

Although Li Deyu looks old and faint, just by his reinstatement, it is enough to see that his mind has not diminished at all.

"There is no one around me who is comparable to Li Deyu, I envy Li Yan so much!"

Li Yan is Wuzong, the Tang Wuzong who sympathized with Li Deyu during his reign.

"The old slave didn't expect that Gong Wen Rao would deal with it like this!" Wang Guichang shook his head again and again, his face full of puzzlement and surprise.

"Wang Guichang, do you think Li Deyu is ruthless?" Li Chen asked instead.

Wang Guichang nodded when he heard this, and said: "Lu Shang and Zheng Su had an extremely close relationship with Li Deyu in the Wuzong Dynasty, I didn't expect Li Deyu to say such heartless words now, alas......"

Li Chen couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha, you have been in the court for decades, but you still don't know Li Deyu!" ”
