Li Chen stretched his waist slightly when he heard this, then smiled and said, "I want to see what tricks this kid can have!" ”

......

Following.

On the first day of the festival, from the Son of Heaven to the courtiers, it is rare to enjoy a three-day break, or go out to play, or stay at home without leaving home, during this three-day period, it seems that everything in the court has nothing to do with itself.

Of course, this is only "seemingly".

After all, for some people, opportunities exist everywhere, and there is no room for a break on the road to their careers.

And for the Chang'an Dynasty, the most important thing at the moment is the ownership of the lieutenant of the Right Shence Army, in the face of this piece of fat, the courtiers can't help but speculate, but before the Son of Heaven is clear, there is no conclusion after all.

Even if Qiu Shiliang, who recommended Wang Zongshi to Li Chen, he had no way to guess the attitude of this son of heaven at this time.

But on the second day after the meeting, a wave of rumors spread across the city.

The source of the rumor is no longer verifiable, but for some people it is not important, what matters is the content of the rumor.

As long as the rumors are eye-catching, there will always be a part of the population that is passionate about them.

The content of the rumor is simple and logical.

His Majesty wants Wang Zongshi to succeed him as a lieutenant of the Right Shence Army.

Wang Zongcheng became the deputy envoy of the Right Shence Army, and he was only one step away from the lieutenant of the Shence Army, which seemed logical, but it was still unexpected by everyone.

Because in the eyes of everyone, whether it is status, prestige or grace, Ma Yuanzhen undoubtedly has an unyielding advantage, after all, he has a meritorious service, just a few days ago, His Majesty also gave Ma Yuanzhen his favorite rhino belt.

It is reasonable and reasonable, His Majesty has enough reasons to let Ma Yuanzhen take charge of the entire forbidden army, and under the great favor, in exchange for Ma Yuanzhen's loyalty.

Everything seems so logical.

But at this critical moment, such rumors spread far and wide, and it is precisely because of such a critical moment that this rumor is more credible and has enough room for imagination.

The rumor originated in the court and spread in the market, but it was the Yushitai who reacted first.

After all, the lieutenant of the Right Shence Army is high and powerful, and it is a matter of social affairs, which makes these imperial historians who have lived a long time of leisure can't help but be whimsical.

A rumor successfully attracted the attention of the imperial historians to Wang Zongshi.

It was Yushi who was excited, but Wang Zongshi was uneasy, after all, the rumors were related to him, and it was not only a small trick caught by Yushi, but it could also be infinitely magnified because of this.

The harm is far from being reached.

But Wang Zongshi was obviously not as quick as Yu Shitai reacted, and it was not until late evening that Wang Zongshi was informed of the seriousness of the matter.

And the person who told him was Qiu Shiliang, who was terminally ill.

Although it was only a secret letter, Wang Zongshi had to face it carefully.

Daming Palace, Lin De Palace.

Wang Zongshi knelt under His Highness, but he was not alone.

Wang Zongshi recognized Li Zhen, but he didn't recognize the young man next to Li Zhen.

And the "young man" in Wang Zongshi's eyes is Yan Heng.

Although it was not Yan Heng's fault that he grew old, this successfully made Wang Zongshi remember this "young man".

Taking advantage of Wang Zongshi's bowing, Li Chen glanced at Li Zhen fiercely, because he knew that the rumor that spread throughout Chang'an City in one day was Li Zhen.

The reason is very simple, Li Chen has only revealed this matter to Li Zhen alone.

When a rumor is substantiated, it is no longer a rumor.

Especially for Wang Zongshi and Qiu Shiliang, it is somewhat difficult to escape the involvement.

Li Zhen understands this truth, and Li Chen also understands this truth.

Wang Zongshi came to ask for the guilt, although even he didn't know the crime, but this was an attitude, especially in front of the Son of Heaven, attitude was very important.

"Wang Zongshi!" Li Chen casually grabbed a pile of folds on the case and said: "In just this half a day, there have been more than a dozen copies of the Yushitai Ginseng for you, I have the intention to favor you, and you have to be clean!" ”

Wang Zongshi said with a bitter face when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the old slave really doesn't know why this rumor started, Yu Shitai has always looked at the old slave unpleasantly, and now it is hard to have such a ...... who frames loyalty."

After hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "This Wang Zongshi is really an elm head......

Sure enough, before Wang Zong finished telling the truth, he only heard Li Zhen slap the case and shouted coldly: "Shut up!" Are you saying that my Imperial Observatory is all traitors who frame loyalty?! ”

"The old slave doesn't dare, please forgive your majesty!" Wang Zongshi was only prostrate on the ground and begged, but he never knew how to justify.

looked stupid and stupid, and even Yan Heng on the side cast a disdainful glance at him.

At this moment, I saw Li Zhen bow down and say: "Your Majesty, the envoy Wang Jun has always been loyal, this matter is strange, it is not excluded that some small people are maliciously slandered and framed, think about it, if the envoy Wang Jun does it, it will not be of any benefit to him!" ”

"Your Majesty, what Li Sima said is extremely true, if it is done by the old slave, wouldn't it be a little cocooned and self-bound?!"

As he spoke, Wang Zongshi cast a grateful glance at Li Zhen.

Leaning less, Li Chen's anger gradually subsided, and he glanced at Wang Zongshi and said: "That's it, if I don't believe you, you will face Ma Zhi!" ”

Ma Zhi is the secretary of Dali Temple, and has a close relationship with Ma Yuanzhen, for Wang Zongshi, once he falls into the hands of Ma Zhi, there is basically no possibility of living.

After hearing this, Wang Zong bowed with palpitations: "Your Majesty Shengming! Your Majesty! ”

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can step aside, I have my own plans in my heart for this matter!" ”

When Wang Zongshi heard this, he hurriedly retreated as if he had been granted amnesty.

After he left, Li Chen didn't say anything to Li Zhen, but said to Yan Heng: "Yan Heng, can you hear clearly?" ”

"The minister heard me clearly!" Yan Heng replied.

"Li Zhen recommended you to me, what you have to do is to understand everything and control everything for me!"

As he spoke, he saw Li Chen leaning forward slightly, his face became extremely solemn, and he continued word by word: "When necessary, you also need to erase everything!" You...... Ready to go? ”

Yan Heng bowed down and replied when he heard this: "The minister swears allegiance to His Majesty, and is willing to share his worries for His Majesty!" ”

Li Chen nodded, and said to Li Zhen: "The person is recommended by you, if there is anything wrong with the future affairs, I will ask you!" ”

Li Chen only said a simple sentence, but he tied Li Zhen to the bad guys.

Without waiting for Li Zhen to answer, Li Chen immediately said to Yan Heng: "Yan Heng, because you haven't reached the crown yet, I can't give you any reward, choose a good day to perform the crown ceremony as soon as possible, and then I will have my own destiny!" ”

Unexpectedly, Li Zhen immediately said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to give you words!" ”

Li Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help snorting coldly, and said, "He hasn't spoken yet, but why are you in a hurry?!" ”

Having said that, after seeing Li Chen think for a while, he said to Yan Heng: "Heng, Chang Ye, I will give you the words to Changzhi, how about it?" ”

Yan Heng was overjoyed when he heard this, and then grinned: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
