Chapter 168: Li Di is demoted

"Get out of here!" With Liu E's roar, Ding Wei and Li Di, who were kneeling below, also trembled in fright, and then honestly retreated and left, and this scene just happened to fall in the eyes of Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen.

"Eldest mother, father...... How's my father doing? Zhao Zhen ran to Liu E with a cry and asked, just now when he heard the news that Zhao Heng vomited blood again, he was also frightened and ran all the way, and even fell on the road, and now he was extremely embarrassed.

"Zhen'er, don't cry, the imperial doctor has already gone in, maybe it will be fine soon!" Although Liu E also had tears in the corners of her eyes at this time, she still pretended to be calm and said to Zhao Zhen, but Zhao Zhen was no longer so easy to deceive, but after listening to it, she cried again with a "wow~".

Li Zhang, who was behind, also turned his head at this time to look at the direction in which Li Di and Ding Wei retreated, and sighed at the moment, just now he didn't know why Zhao Heng, who was getting better, suddenly vomited blood, and rushed to the road to hear the messenger say that it turned out that Li Di and Ding Wei had a fight yesterday, and today they came to Zhao Heng to complain, and the two quarreled again.

Zhao Heng's illness was just a little better, seeing that the two prime ministers were getting more and more noisy, he was also angry, and finally even grabbed the book on the bedside and threw it out, but this anger also hurt the body, and as a result, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person was unconscious again.

Seeing Zhao Heng vomiting blood, Li Di and Ding Wei were also frightened, and hurriedly asked people to pass the imperial doctor, although they were prime ministers, but if they were really angry with Zhao Heng, I am afraid it would also be a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan, and Liu E scolded them even more after he came, and they didn't dare to open their mouths from beginning to end.

"What a death!" Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh secretly at Ding Wei and the two, and then looked at Zhao Zhen, who was crying bitterly, and the imperial doctors who were in a mess, no matter whether Zhao Heng could be cured this time, Ding Wei and Li Di were both unlucky, and with Liu E's temperament, they would definitely not let them go.

After an afternoon of rescue, the comatose Zhao Heng finally came to his senses, although his body was still very weak, but his condition did not deteriorate too much, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, Li Zhang estimated that Li Di and Ding Wei were also incense to their ancestors at home at this time, otherwise they would both have to bury Zhao Heng.

But even so, Liu E was still furious, and a holy decree was issued, Li Di was removed from the post of prime minister and demoted to Dazhou as an official, while Ding Wei was convicted and retained and fined for three years.

As soon as the above holy decree came out, there was also an uproar in the court, because they were both prime ministers, but Li Di and Ding Wei were punished one heavy and one light, Li Di even lost the position of prime minister, but Ding Wei was only punished for three years, which was not a punishment for Ding Wei at all, so many people in the court also complained about Li Di.

But compared to the people outside, Li Di accepted Liu E's holy decree very calmly, it was about to be the New Year, he could have asked to leave Beijing after the New Year, in fact, many officials received the degraded holy decree, they would be slow and refused to leave Beijing, but Li Di immediately packed up his things and prepared to leave Beijing after receiving the holy decree, without the slightest delay.

"Cousin, you can send off Young Master Li on my behalf!" At noon that day, when Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen were having lunch together, they saw that the other party suddenly hesitated and said.

"Don't you blame Young Master Li?" Li Zhang also glanced at Zhao Zhen with some surprise at this time and said, although Zhao Heng is fortunate that there is nothing serious, but Li Di's guilt cannot be escaped, with the father-son relationship between Zhao Zhen and Zhao Heng, he should also hate Li Di at this time.

"Don't blame it for being fake, after all, the young master was too impulsive this time, and his father vomited blood angrily, but after all, he taught me for so long, and now he is leaving Beijing, and I don't know when he will be able to come back, and I should send him as a student, but it is inconvenient for me to leave the palace, so I can only trouble your cousin!" I saw Zhao Zhen sigh at this time.

Li Zhang nodded after hearing this, Zhao Zhen is worthy of being a good man, and he can still treat Li Di politely at this time, if it were him, I am afraid he would not have such a broad mind.

"Okay, I'm also a student of the young master, and I should see him off, and I will definitely bring your heart to me then!" Li Zhang immediately nodded in agreement.

Three days later, Li Di officially left Beijing, this day was cold and windy, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to fall from the sky, and the heaven and earth were also slaughtered, but the people who came to see Li Di off did not decrease at all, after all, Li Di was an official and upright, after Kou Zhun was demoted, he became the leader of the court, and now he was demoted, which naturally attracted many people to see him off.

Li Zhang did not go to the city gate to huddle with others, but went to Li Di's house early to wait, but Li Di was very happy when he heard him come to see him off, and even called Li Zhang into the carriage, and the teacher and student chatted while walking, after all, there is still a considerable distance from here to the city gate.

"Young master, the prince asked me to come to see you off on his behalf, Dazhou is far away, you have to take care of yourself along the way!" After Li Zhang got into the carriage, he immediately expressed Zhao Zhen's meaning to Li Di.

"The prince is kind-hearted, he didn't blame the old minister, the old minister is really ashamed!" Li Di couldn't help but show a little guilty when he heard Li Zhang's words, in fact, after calming down, he also felt that he was too impulsive that day, and fortunately Zhao Heng didn't have a big deal, otherwise his own bad luck would be a small matter, and the Great Song Dynasty would be a big deal because of the turmoil.

"Yes, the prince has such a mind at a young age, and I am also very surprised by him!" Li Zhang also said with emotion at this time.

Li Di also praised Zhao Zhen again at this time, and then asked about the recent situation in the palace, he has been closed at home for the past few days, and he has not seen outsiders, so he doesn't know much about the situation in the palace, and Li Zhang told all the news he knew.

"Li Zhang, this time I was demoted, but Ding Wei was only fined for three years, and people outside said it was unfair, what do you think of this matter?" At this moment, I saw Li Di suddenly ask Li Zhang a very strange question.

"This ...... Student...... Students also feel that there is some unfairness. Li Zhang couldn't understand why Li Di suddenly asked this, and immediately hesitated and replied.

"You and I are teachers and students, can't you be honest with me?" Li Di naturally saw that Li Zhang was not telling the truth, and he was a little unhappy at the moment, although he was usually a little strict with Li Zhang, and even often criticized Li Zhang, but in fact, he was still very concerned about Li Zhang, when Yelu Yanshou slandered Li Zhang for snatching the princess, he also tried to protect Li Zhang, because he knew that Li Zhang would never do that kind of thing.

Li Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Li Di's serious expression, and then said helplessly: "Actually, I don't know how to answer this question, but in my opinion, there were only two prime ministers in the court, the young master and Ding Wei, if the two prime ministers were demoted, what should be done about the government affairs in the court?" ”

"Hahahaha~, sure enough, it's worthy of being my student, but some people just can't understand such a simple truth!" Li Di laughed out loud when he heard this, and then patted Li Zhang's shoulder and said, the reason why he accepted Liu E's holy decree very calmly was because he knew that there must be a minister in the court to preside over the overall situation.

"I don't think those people don't understand, it's just that Ding Wei has offended too many people and has a bad reputation, so some people will take this opportunity to express their dissatisfaction." Li Zhang laughed again at this time.

"Yes, yes, it's even more rare that you can take that into account!" Li Di's eyes were also full of appreciation when he looked at Li Zhang at this time, which made Li Zhang a little uncomfortable, because Li Di had criticized him more than praised him before, and this was the first time he praised him like this.

However, after praising Li Zhang, I saw Li Di suddenly sigh and said: "Actually, although Ding Wei is a villain and has a very bad reputation, I have to admit that this person's talent is actually above me, but Ding Wei didn't use his talent on the right path, I could still contain him before, but now that I'm gone, he is the dominant family in the court, with my understanding of him, he will definitely take power, and I'm afraid there will be no one to control it!" ”

"If the young master leaves Beijing, the queen will definitely choose other officials to take your place, with my understanding of the queen, she will definitely not let Ding Wei's family dominate, right?" Li Zhang heard Li Di's words, but expressed a different point of view.

"Of course I know that, but who will take over? The position of prime minister is not easy to do, ability, prestige, and qualifications are all the same, I was able to take over the phase before it was very reluctant, but now I look at the court, there is no one available at all, even if you reluctantly appoint a person, you can't suppress Ding Wei, unless you transfer Kou Gong back, but this is simply impossible! When Li Di said the end, a worried look flashed on his face, what he was most afraid of was Ding Wei's seizure of power, and the world would be chaotic at that time.

"Kou Gong is definitely impossible, but in fact, there may not be no one who can check and balance Ding Wei." Li Zhang grinned at this time.

"Oh? What do you think? Li Di looked at him in surprise again when he heard Li Zhang's words and said, it was the first time he had talked to Li Zhang about these court matters, and he actually wanted to test him just now, but Li Zhang's performance surprised him everywhere, he never thought that his student would be so thoughtful about this matter.

"Actually, young master, you have been ignoring one person, and this person is the queen mother!" Li Zhang smiled at this time and spoke again.

"What do you mean?" Li Di frowned when he heard this, in his opinion, only those ministers in the court could contain Ding Wei, as for Liu E, although he handled government affairs instead of Zhao Heng, he was in the deep palace, and the review also needed to be carried out with their hands, so Li Di and these people actually despised Liu E.
