"Taiwei's Mansion.

"What did you say?"

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard that Li Yifu was taken by Li Zhi in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, he couldn't help but get up and looked at Tang Lin in shock, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

Tang Lin was a little depressed when he heard this, if he could make up this kind of thing, it is estimated that he is now the Zhongshu Order, and said: "Taiwei, can I lie to you about this." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was slightly excited: "How is this possible? ”

Because Tang Lin ran in and directly told the result to the eldest grandson Wuji, of course the eldest grandson Wuji was taken aback, and at the same time took down the two Zhongshu orders, this kind of thing is really rare, and the key is that this matter can't be made that way. If this happened during the abolition of Wang Liwu, then no one would be surprised, because it was a struggle between the prime minister and the imperial power, and any result was possible, but what is this, variegated into the stream, the two Zhongshu orders for a group of officials, for the emperor to take it on the spot, it sounds incredible!

"If you want to blame it, it's because Li Yifu has no one in his eyes, which angered Du Zhenglun." Tang Lin smiled and told the eldest grandson Wuji about the whole process again.

"So much else is going on in there." After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji sat back again, frowning and silent.

Tang Lin said: "Taiwei, I think this time Li Yifu is in a catastrophe. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded slightly and said, "If this is the case, it is indeed impossible for Li Yifu to get away with this hurdle." At this point, he added, "But things shouldn't have come to this!" ”

Tang Lin said: "Dissatisfied with the Taiwei, the ministers in the palace at that time, all of them were shocked, I don't think anyone expected this matter to develop to this point." But it was really Li Yifu who deceived people too much, His Majesty didn't blame him at the time, he just wanted to settle the matter, but he still didn't give up, and wanted to take this opportunity to put Du Zhenglun to death, he didn't want to think about what he was, he did those things, everyone knew it, if it weren't for His Majesty and the queen to protect him, he would have committed those crimes, even Ling Chi would not be an exaggeration, and he still wanted to sue people Du Zhenglun for forming a party for personal gain, which is really ridiculous. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned when he heard this.

When Tang Lin said that he was rising, he suddenly sighed again, and said with regret: "It's a pity that Your Majesty didn't hand over Du Zhenglun's paper to Yushitai at that time, otherwise, hmph, we can take this opportunity to wipe out Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Xin Maojiang and other cadres." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Tang Lin and said lightly: "You don't want to think about it, Xu Jingzong, who are they?" They are His Majesty's people, how could His Majesty cut off his own arms. ”

Tang Lin frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Then what does the Taiwei think Your Majesty will do with Li Yifu?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji groaned slightly, and said: "Since Your Majesty did not hand over this matter to the Imperial Historical Tower, it also means that Your Majesty does not want to expand this matter, which is also normal." But if you don't do this, then you can't convict Li Yifu and them, but since Your Majesty has taken them down and doesn't ask them for their crimes, it will be impossible, the old man thinks that His Majesty will definitely find a crime that is only against the two of them, and demote them from Chang'an first, and then make plans. ”

Tang Lin nodded slightly, and said, "Captain, I don't think this matter is so simple!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "What do you say? ”

Tang Lin said: "Li Yifu has always been the right-hand man of Empress Wu, but now His Majesty wants to move Li Yifu, it can be seen that there is also a gap between His Majesty and the Queen, you must know that this variegated entry is very likely to be instructed by Empress Wu Li Yifu, and it is also possible that Your Majesty is dissatisfied with Empress Wu." No matter whether Li Yifu is killed or demoted, it will deal a heavy blow to Empress Wu's power in the court, and we have to seize this opportunity! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while, and said: "This matter came too suddenly, the old man always feels that something is not right, and let's take a look, at least we have to wait for Your Majesty to deal with Li Yifu first." ”

Tang Lin nodded and said, "That's right, Your Majesty is not the first time to protect Li Yifu, you still have to be cautious." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "You go back first, now at this time, you don't come here often." ”

"Yes, I see."

As soon as Tang Lin left, the eldest grandson Wuji called the housekeeper beside him in, "You go and arrange it quickly, the old man wants to meet him." ”

"Yes."

.....．

Sikong Province.

"Uncle, nephew, please save my father, and now only you, uncle, can save my father."

I saw a man in his thirties kneeling in front of Li Ji, crying so much that he couldn't cry. This person is Du Zhenglun's heir, Du Zhijing, that is, the successor, is actually the son of Du Zhenglun's brother Du Zhengzang.

"Virtuous nephew, you get up first."

Li Ji stepped forward, pulled Du Zhijing up, and said: "Your father and I have been friends for many years, and now that he is in trouble, I will not die without help." Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "But now that this matter is in this matter, I am afraid that I can only ensure that he can spend his old age in peace, and as for the rest, the old man can do nothing." ”

Du Zhijing immediately said: "My nephew now only wants his father to be safe." ”

"Hmmm! You go back first, let the family not worry too much, if I have news, I will send someone to tell you." ”

"Thank you, uncle, my nephew will take his leave first."

As soon as Du Zhijing left, Li Bi immediately stepped forward and said: "Brother, you have a relationship with Du Zhenglun, that is also a matter of the past, and the two families have had little contact in recent years. ”

"What kind of bastard are you!"

Li Ji glared at Li Bi and said, "If I were such a person, how could I be today." Yes, in the past few years, I have indeed had few contacts with Du Zhenglun, but that's just because, he is a Zhongshu Ling, I am a commonplace, and it is inconvenient to come and go, and now he is in trouble, and with what he said in the court, I don't think anyone will intercede for him, if I still see death and don't save him, I'm afraid that his old age will be very desolate. ”

This righteousness is really the foundation of Li Ji's foothold, why his prestige in the army is high, and there are a group of soldiers who are willing to die for him, isn't it because he values feelings and righteousness, and he distributes all merits and rewards to his subordinates. Moreover, after Li Mi's death, he was the only one who wrote to Li Yuan, asking for Li Mi's burial, and wearing filial piety for Li Mi. Li Shimin entrusted him with his dying entrust, not only because of his prestige in the army, but most importantly, Li Shimin knew that Li Ji was a person who valued feelings, only if you were kind to him, he would definitely repay you, it was worth entrusting, you must know that Li Shimin secretly entrusted Li Ji, in fact, it was to prevent the eldest grandson Wuji, what a lot of trust this is.

Although the catastrophe is coming, if you lend a hand at this time, there may be many people who say that you are stupid, but at the same time, there will be many people who see it in their eyes and keep it in their hearts, and at the critical time, they may be able to help you tide over the difficulties, because when it comes to the critical time, the ability is only secondary, trust is the most important, you have to be unkind, no matter how capable you are, people will not dare to believe you.

Whether it is Li Shimin or Li Zhi, they trust Li Ji very much, and the most important reason is that Li Ji is usually a person.

Li Bi said: "But if you come forward, brother, it will be difficult for Your Majesty to do it." ”

Li Ji waved his hand and said: "You don't need to worry about this, I have my own measure, you go and arrange it, I want to enter the palace to face the saint." ”

Li Bi was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother, now Your Majesty is still angry, even if you want to intercede, you have to live a few days!" Besides, it's not too early today. ”

Li Ji sighed: "I don't think Your Majesty will delay this matter for a long time, I'm afraid that when Your Majesty decrees it, it will be too late." ”

.....．

Palace!

"Your Majesty, I want to see you."

"How did Sikong come from?"

Li Zhi couldn't help frowning slightly.

Wu Meiniang on the side reacted very quickly and said: "Sikong has always valued love and righteousness, he and Du Zhenglun have been friends for many years, but I am afraid that he is here for Du Zhenglun." ”

Li Zhi couldn't help frowning, very embarrassed: "If Sikong intercedes for Du Zhenglun, how can I say it's good!" ”

It's okay for someone else, but the other party is Li Ji, if Li Ji wants to protect Du Zhenglun, Li Zhi really can't help but give Li Ji this face, and now only Li Ji dares to come to the door at this time.

Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, Sikong has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and he is loyal to His Majesty, isn't it comparable to Du Zhenglun and Li Yifu, I don't think Sikong will make it difficult for Your Majesty, if not, in the palace, Sikong will stand up and plead, instead of waiting until now." ”

Saying this, Li Zhi felt a little relieved, got up and went to the Liangyi Palace.

"Your Majesty, the old minister."

Li Ji stood in the hall and bowed.

"Sikong, hurry up and be exempt!"

Li Zhi hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Sikong, please take a seat." ”

After Li Ji sat down, Li Zhi smiled and asked, "I don't know if Sikong came to me so late, what's the urgency?" ”

Li Ji showed a little embarrassment on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, the main reason why the old minister came here this time is --- to ask His Majesty for mercy and spare Du Zhenglun's life. ”

Li Zhi looked relieved when he heard this, because he didn't plan to kill Du Zhenglun, but he said: "Sikong, you are also in the main hall today, I didn't want them to make such a fuss, but the two of them didn't take me to heart at all, and they still fought in the main hall, what kind of system is this, I was forced by them to have no way!" ”

Li Ji nodded and said: "The minister understands that His Majesty has given them a lot of hints at that time, but they have failed His Majesty's kindness, and it is indeed their own fault to have such an end." He paused, and said: "It's just that Du Zhenglun is old, and since he took office, he has never made any big mistakes, and today's things are all disputes of will, and this crime will not lead to death, and the minister hopes that His Majesty can read that he has always been loyal to His Majesty, and give him a good place to go, so that he can enjoy his old age in peace." ”

He knew in his heart that it was impossible for Du Zhenglun to stay in Chang'an, because there were only two ways to do this, first, to drive them all away in the name of the emperor. Second, keep them behind and open a case for investigation. It is impossible to say, without investigation, and leaving them in Chang'an, I can't find such a reason. But if you depreciate it, you can also divide it into good and bad, if you degrade Lingnan, at Du Zhenglun's age, it is estimated that he will hang up halfway.

And he didn't say that he would let Li Zhi give him face, but hoped that Li Zhi and Du Zhenglun would have no credit and hard work, he was afraid that Li Zhi would be embarrassed, if he really pleaded, Li Zhi would not be able to refuse, and his words would not leak.

Li Zhi is relieved, this request is really not too much, and Li Ji is not wrong, although Du Zhenglun has lost the courtesy of a courtier, but Du Zhenglun took out the real evidence, not a false accusation of Li Yifu, as for forming a party for personal gain, this thing is quite unreliable, Du Zhenglun has no ambition to say that he wants to be in power to the government and the opposition, he just can't get used to Li Yifu, so he nodded and said: "Okay!" I promise you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After seeing Li Ji, Li Zhi returned to the harem.

"Mei Niang, you're right, Sikong is still sensible." Li Zhi said to Wu Meiniang with a relaxed face.

Wu Meiniang said: "I don't know what Sikong said? ”

Li Zhi told Wu Meiniang about Li Ji's request.

After Wu Meiniang heard this, she said, "Then I don't know what Your Majesty's plans are?" ”

After Li Zhi pondered for a moment, he said, "I plan to let Du Zhenglun go back to his hometown of Weizhou, so that he can enjoy his old age in his hometown." ”

Now Weizhou is the mansion of the later daimyo, and now it has gradually developed, and it is a good place for retirement. But at the beginning, Li Zhi didn't plan to do so, anyway, it was not Bashu, it was Lingnan, although Du Zhenglun told the truth, but those truths might ruin half of the court, and even implicate him, which had a very big impact on Li Zhi.

"That's a good arrangement." Wu Meiniang nodded, and asked "by the way": "What about Li Yifu?" ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "I don't want to be kind to Li Yifu's words, I have already given him many opportunities, but he didn't cherish it, and I plan to demote him to Qianzhou." ”

This Qianzhou is now a barbarian land, not a good place.

Wu Meiniang nodded and said: "In fact, if it is considered to be a fault, Du Zhenglun is actually a battle of will, and Li Yifu is to blame, which is reasonable, but Your Majesty seems to have forgotten someone." ”

Li Zhi was curious: "Who?" ”

"Li Yang!"

Wu Meiniang said: "After the autumn harvest this year, Li Yang will be dealt with and beheaded, and now that Li Yifu is leaving, there will not even be a relative to see him off, and Li Yifu will not even see his son for the last time, isn't this a little too cruel, after all, Li Yifu also helped us at the beginning." ”

Li Zhi is relatively soft-hearted, of course, the premise is that his interests cannot be threatened, Li Yang's words, he has already forgotten about this person, so he asked: "Then what do you say?" ”

Wu Meiniang thought for a moment and said, "The concubine thinks, why not commute Li Yang's death sentence to a reduced sentence, exile him to Qianzhou, and let their family go over there." I think that if Li Yifu falls into such a situation, the Pei family will not be entangled anymore. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's fine, I won't tell you, I don't want to see their family anymore." ”

......

And at this time, Han Yi also came to the bamboo cottage by appointment to meet the eldest grandson Wuji.

"The Captain really shouldn't have asked me to come at this time."

When Han Yi saw the eldest grandson Wuji, he said with a depressed face.

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said, "Why? ”

Han Yi said: "Because I'm also digesting this matter now, I'm afraid I can't provide any information to the Taiwei." ”
