Wang Guichang smiled and said: "What the old slave has heard, watched and done in this life is only a matter of duty, as for the courtiers, the old slave does not dare to ask, and does not want to ask!" ”

Li Chen nodded and said with a smile: "What I like is you!" ”

"So, I have a lot of things to say to you, even if you don't want to hear them, you have to listen to them!" Li Zhen laughed and reached out to pat Wang Guichang on the shoulder.

Wang Guichang nodded again and again when he heard this, and he didn't speak but laughed.

Li Chen's mood is very good today, and he will talk more, especially for Li Deyu, Li Chen's heart is more of an indescribable complexity.

Li Chen couldn't deny Li Deyu's talent for governing the world, let alone erase the great results he had achieved in the past six years of Wuzong, but he had to drive him out of his court.

The most correct thing that Wuzong Li Yan did in his life was to let Li Deyu be the prime minister, and he also had unreserved trust in him.

Li Chen couldn't do it, because his past painful experience told him that there was no one in this world that he could absolutely trust, even his son.

Looking at the world, only you can be trusted, only you can use, and only you can know.

Since absolute trust cannot be achieved, then Li Deyu must not be used for himself.

Therefore, Li Chen's strength is destined to make it impossible for him to tolerate having a courtier as strong as himself in his own court.

Wu Zong didn't read much, not as much as his imperial uncle Li Chen, and not as good as his imperial brother Emperor Wenzong;

Wu Zong likes to be vocal and loves to ride and shoot, but he is not as disregarding the state and society as Jingzong does.

Therefore, Wu Zong appointed Li Deyu, and Li Deyu's strength doomed Wu Zong to not intervene too much.

This is the balance between the monarch and the minister.

Throughout his life, Wuzong Li Yan was not a qualified king, and he didn't know how to restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

But he has a qualified courtier, and all he does is to give absolute trust to Li Deyu.

That's all.

In the short period of six years of Wuzong, the destruction of the Uighurs, the Qing Buddhism, the rectification of the rule of officials, the pacification of eunuchs, and the attack on the feudal towns turned the dying Tang Dynasty into a storm, so that it showed a state of revival.

All this cannot be done by a single martial artist or Li Deyu.

At the end of the day, it's just the word "trust".

Li Chen understands this, because he can't have absolute trust in his courtiers, so Li Deyu can't stay in the court, so he must do everything himself.

"Li Deyu ......" Li Chen wanted to speak and stopped.

"How is Li Deyu?" Wang Guichang asked cautiously.

Li Chen thought about it, but still waved his hand and said, "That's it, there are some things you still don't want to know!" ”

Wang Guichang bowed slightly, took a few steps back and stopped talking.

Li Chen immediately said: "Pass Bai Minzhong, Feng Ao, Cui Heng, Lin Dedian is right!" In addition, let Zhou Gui go to Yingzhou, and then send some people you can trust to go to Taiyuan and Xingyang separately! ”

"That'...... What about Fan Yang Lu and Qinghe Cui? Wang Guichang asked.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Fan Yang is in Lulong, I believe that Qingluan can solve it by himself, as for the Qinghe Cui family, Cui Heng's old fox nose is very awake, I don't worry!" ”

......

Yingzhou.

On the shore of Tuoshui, Li Zhen looked at the devastated glacier, his face full of helplessness.

"Erlang, look, since you came to Yingzhou, even this Tuoshui has been harmed by you like this, this money ...... But how can you count it......" Li Zhen sighed.

"I chiseled ice, you still fished, why do you want me to pay, not to mention that when the ice melts and the snow melts in the spring, it will not be restored as before!" Wang Shaoyi glanced at Li Zhen with a look of disgust.

Li Zhen immediately said: "Fishing? I haven't caught a single fish in the past seven days, but you have chiseled Tuoshui like this, don't you think you owe this Tuoshui an explanation? ”

"What do you want to say about Tuoshui? The seven-day deadline has arrived today, but Chen Qiong's dog official has not shown up yet, and if you want to say anything, you should find him to go! ”

Li Zhenmo rubbed his chin and felt a little prickly, so he had to give up and said, "That's ...... Why don't you go looking for him? ”

"Okay, what if he kills you with bad intentions?" Wang Shaoyi replied.

"Of course not me!"

"Who's going then?"

"You!"

Wang Shaoyi: "......"

......

When Wang Shaoyi's footsteps entered the Chen Mansion, his mood was desperate and his spirit was broken.

When Chen Qiong saw that the person who came was Wang Shaoyi, her spirit was happy and her mood was happy.

Chen ...... Chen Tingshi, brother, the dog official said that the deadline has arrived, I don't know if that thing has been done? Wang Shaoyi said tremblingly.

Prior to this, Chen Qiong had already made countless preparations to deal with Li Zhen's accountability, but when she saw that the person who came was actually thirteen-year-old Wang Shaoyi, she couldn't help but completely relax in her heart.

"What? Why didn't Sima Li come? ”

Chen Qiong did not answer Wang Shaoyi's question, but asked with a little surprise.

"Brother, that dog official sent me to ask you!"

Wang Shaoyi also did not answer Chen Qiong's question.

Chen Qiong smiled slightly when she heard this, and said, "Oh......"

After saying that, Chen Qiong sat upright as usual and did not say a word.

Wang Shaoyi stared at Chen Qiong with two big eyes and said nothing.

Wang Shaoyi didn't know what to say, Chen Qiong didn't want to say anything, and the atmosphere immediately became a little awkward.

It seems like a long time has passed.

Wang Shaoyi turned around and walked out without saying goodbye to Chen Qiong.

Chen Qiong looked at Wang Shaoyi's back, her face full of spring breeze.

......

When Wang Shaoyi, who was full of grievances, told Li Zhen about Chen Qiong's crimes, Li Zhen's face was full of spring breeze, which was the same as the spring breeze on Chen Qiong's face.

"Brother, you can still laugh, Chen Qiong's dog official doesn't take you in his eyes so much, you still ......"

"So what?" Li Zhen interrupted and smiled: "What's more, he just doesn't take you in his eyes, what is he doing with me?" ”

"You ......" Wang Shaoyi was speechless, and his little face was red with anger.

"Hehe, Zeyuan, don't joke with Shao Yi anymore, Chen Qiong seems to have nothing to fear!" Zheng Ji said with a smile on the side.

When Li Zhen heard this, he smiled at Wang Shaoyi and said, "Erlang, don't worry, this Brother Qiu has written it down for you!" ”

After saying that, Li Zhen asked Zheng Zhen again: "What is Brother Taiwen's opinion?" ”

Zheng Zhen thought for a while and said: "The reason why Chen Qiong's attitude has changed so much must be because of the support of some people, and looking at the Yingzhou boundary, only the five surnames and seven hopes of these high-ranking clans can have such a big force to do it!" ”

"After I learned in Yingzhou in the past few days, among the five surnames and seven hopes, Longxi Erli and Zhaojun Li have no power in Yingzhou, as for the Jingzhao Wei family, Hedong Pei family, and Hongnong Yang family, although the power is some, but the influence is limited, and the Cui family has shown favor to us, so there are only three Taiyuan Wang family, Xingyang Zheng family and Fanyang Lu family left!"

Li Zhen nodded, Zheng Zhen has not been in Yingzhou for a long time, and he has been busy with the distribution and resettlement of land and property, and sometimes he can't see each other for several days in a row, so it is not easy to get this news.

"So Chen Qiong's fearlessness must be related to the support of these three families, and as far as I know......"

When Zheng Zhen said this, he paused slightly, and smiled at Li Zhen: "Zeyuan can know who is supporting the Zheng family and the Lu family in the court?" ”

Li Zhen was about to speak, but he saw Zheng Zhen immediately say: "Shangshu's right servant shoots Yi Jinggong and Jingzhao Yin are ministers!" ”

Li Zhen couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, although he had already thought that these three families must have enough weight in the court, but he still didn't expect it to be these two.

Shangshu's right servant shot Zheng Su and Jingzhao Yin Lu Shang, and had a deep relationship with Li Deyu when he was in Wuzong, if Li Deyu was the hand of Emperor Wuzong, then these two were Li Deyu's hands.

Moreover, when he first entered Chang'an, although he didn't have much intersection with these two, Li Zhen felt that they were more inclined to themselves in the open and secret battle against Bai Minzhong.

This is the fact that Li Zhen does not want to hear, but at this moment, Li Zhen has no other way but to hope that these two will not interfere in this matter.

At this time, I only heard Zhao Lang outside the door whispering: "General, someone from the capital is here!" ”

"Beijing?!"

Li Zhen and Zheng Zhen stood up together, looking at each other with a look of surprise.

"Please!"

The two straightened their clothes a little and got up to greet each other.

Leaning less, the door of the house was pushed open, and Zhou Gui appeared in front of the two with a smile on his face.

"Zhou Gui?!"

Li Zhen exclaimed, and Zheng Zhen also looked at Zhou Gui in disbelief.

"The villain Zhou Gui has seen Shaolang...... Uh, no, it's General Li and Zheng Changshi! ”

Zhou Gui was about to bow down, but was helped up by Li Zhen, and said with a smile: "You and I are not outsiders, so these lawsuits will be waived!" ”

After saying that, I saw Li Zhen hugging Zhou Gui's neck and laughing in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, how much did you bring this time?" ”

"What...... How much? Zhou Gui looked confused and didn't know what to do.

"Money, every time I see you, I have money, how much did I bring this time? Right now, brother, I'm just doing this! Li Zhen said it seriously and naturally.

"Zeyuan, don't make trouble...... This time I came to deliver His Majesty's message...... No money......" Zhou Gui couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Zhen couldn't help but look disappointed when he heard this, but Zheng Zhen asked with a straight face: "Master Zhou, what is Your Majesty's message?" ”

Zhou Gui hurriedly broke free from Li Zhen's hands, tidied up his clothes and was about to pass on the decree, but at a glance, he saw Wang Shaoyi pouting and looking angry.

"Who's this little brat?" Zhou Gui was surprised.

"Oh, this is the Chengde Festival Envoy Wang Envoy Jun Jia Erlang, Wang Shaoyi!" Zheng Zheng said, and then said to Wang Shaoyi: "Erlang, come and see the head of the Inner Servant Province Zhou!" ”

Wang Shaoyi looked at Zhou Gui when he heard this, and said disappreciatively: "I heard that the Inner Servant Province is very rich, is it true?" ”

Zhou Gui was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Li Zhen, and said with a smile: "Wang Yuanjun is actually relieved to hand over Erlang to you, it can be seen that Wang Yuanjun's heart is not ordinary!" ”

"Alas, the child has learned badly, and the king has entrusted me with good discipline!" Li Zhen smiled, and then glared at Wang Shaoyi.

"Master Zhou, hurry up and announce the decree!" Zheng Zhen said with a smile.

Only then did Zhou Gui rearrange his clothes, and Zhengse said: "Your Majesty's dictation, Sima Li Zhen of the Youzhou March, what I want you to do is not in a hurry, you need to think more about the consequences of everything, so as not to fall into the mouth, and in the end, it will affect me!" ”

"I didn't ...... Gone? Li Zhen said in surprise.
