Seeing that even the general Li Siye was also named the fifth grade, will Li Qing also become a fourth-grade assassin when he arrives in the local area? After a few years of training, and then returning to the court, it seems that Li Longji really wants to train Li Qing to be his opponent, since he has guessed this, Li Linfu is even more determined to keep Li Qing in the court.

"The emperor talks about meritorious deeds, and the old minister has no opinion, but the old minister thinks that Li Qing is young, and the second is not famous, if he goes to the local area, I am afraid that his qualifications and talents are not enough to convince the public, so the old minister feels that it is more beneficial to his development to stay in Beijing.

According to the predetermined plan, he only showed an attitude, and the rest of the matters were completed by the other backbones of the prime minister's party, as soon as Li Linfu's words fell, Chen Xilie, the left minister, came out of the class and said: "The minister deeply agrees with Li Xiangguo's suggestion, the local official is not a Beijing official, it is related to the blessing of tens of millions of people, Li Qing is still young, one has no qualifications to accumulate, and the other is not familiar with human accidents, how can he govern the place well, although he has made meritorious contributions in Nanzhao, the emperor has rewarded him more, but there is no need to sacrifice the blessings of tens of millions of people, and the minister recommended him as the chief of the Zhen Wangfu (from the fourth rank). ”

Not to mention that the prince's mansion Changshi is a pension official with no authority, and more importantly, King Zhen Li Wan is the younger brother of King Li Cong, and Li Qing has offended King Li Cong, Chen Xilie's sinister intention is self-evident, he wants to avenge Nanzhao's revenge.

"The two Xiangguo are really fallacious!"

Shang Shuwei of the Criminal Department was stoic and unbearable. He stepped out of the court, bowed to Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say, please give your Majesty's permission!" ”

Li Longji's face was gloomy, without any expression, he only said lightly: "Tell me!" ”

According to Wei Jiandi's original intention, it was best for Li Qing to stay in Beijing to help the prince and be his right-hand man. However, he also knows that the system of not being allowed to enter Taiwan Province without going through prefectures and counties, although this system can be flexible, for example, Li Linfu has never been a magistrate, but the problem is that since this system exists, Li Linfu can oppose it with a bare face, so he thinks twice. In the long run, Li Qing still went to the local area, and he also saw the purpose of Li Linfu and Chen Xilie.

With the emperor's permission, Wei Jian took a step forward and said to Chen Xilie: "Li Qing was once the chief secretary of Yibin County, and later acted as the county magistrate of Yibin County. And what does it mean that there is nothing that cannot bring blessings to the people, and he has the books of the people that tens of thousands of people have offered as proof. May I ask Chen Xiangguo, isn't this a qualification? Chen Xiangguo kept saying that letting Li Qing go to the place was a blessing for sacrificing tens of millions of people. What is the basis for that, please explain Chen Xiangguo! ”

Wei Jiandi's every sentence was based on facts, forcing Chen Xilie to be speechless, Li Linfu saw that Chen Xilie was passive, scolded him for being useless in his heart, his eyes slanted slightly, and he glanced at Yang Shenjin, the servant of the ministry, and Yang Shenjin understood. He stood up and said with a smile: "Wei Shang Shuxiu wants to be angry, Chen Xiangguo's qualifications do not mean what Li Qing has done or what he has not done. Rather, it has other intentions. ”

Wei Jian saw Yang Shen come out, and immediately became vigilant in his heart, this person is not more qualified than Chen Xilie, he is a rare pragmatist in the Prime Minister's Party, and his family background is deep, although it has been more than a hundred years since the fall of the Sui Dynasty, but his influence is still there, and he is a person who cannot be underestimated.

"Then Yang Shilang said, what else does Chen Xiangguo mean?"

Yang Shenjin was not in a hurry to answer, and also bowed to Li Longji for instructions, "Please speak to Your Majesty's brigadier ministers!" ”

Li Longji has always liked his elegant temperament, and when he saw that he was about to speak, a slight smile appeared on his gloomy face, "Aiqing, please speak!" ”

Yang Shenjin got permission, so he said to Wei Jian in no hurry: "I always thought that poor people also have loyalty, so I don't say whether Li Qing has merit or not, just say that he is an official, he is Tianbao two years, that is, the year before last, he was recommended by Jiannan Jiedu Envoy Zhang Qiu as the master of Yibin County, the record time of the Ministry is January 7 last year, and I personally prepared the case for him, until this year, the emperor personally named him the prince, pinching the head and going to the tail for just one year, may I ask Lord Wei, who has only been the head of the small county for one year, Isn't it a lack of qualifications? The ninth year of Kaiyuan. From the eighth grade of Taile Cheng, and Li Qing, he has no fame, but also has been a businessman, let alone a child of a family, such a person has actually made the history of the prince's mansion from the fourth grade, doesn't he still look up to him? ”

"This. The key to the Qing is that the official qualifications are too short. Seeing that Wei Jian was knocked down, Li Linfu secretly praised Yang Shenjin for his ability, in order to prevent Li Longji from giving Li Qing the martial arts position alone, his other killer move was also used, Li Linfu glanced at Wang again:].

Wang:|. Li Qing! ”

It seems that the wheel of warfare, from Li Linfu, Chen Xilie to Yang Shenjin and now the current Wang: the backbone of the prime minister's party and the local government are all dispatched, and they can see that the hundred officials are secretly speechless, what kind of evil did this Li Qing do in his previous life, and he has set off such a big wave, unprecedented, several princelings who wanted to help Wei Jiandi, such as Xi Yu and others, saw that the momentum was not good, they shrank their heads one after another, and did not dare to say anything more, even Li Longji, who had been reported in advance, was secretly frightened, if Li Linfu and others were righteous and solemn, and the reasons were sufficient, it would really be difficult for them to shake the will of the ministers.

Wang: Kee.

At this time, there was a buzzing sound in the hall, Wang: Some people can see that Li Linfu is determined to deal with Li Qing.

Li Longji flipped through his testimony, and sure enough, just like Yang Zhao's whistleblowing, there were steps, premeditation, and approaching step by step, if he hadn't been reported in advance, maybe he would have really fulfilled their wishes.

He turned his head to look at Li Heng, handed him Du Youlin's confession, and said lightly: "What does the emperor think about this matter?" ”

Li Heng was shocked in his heart, he didn't have any mental preparation for this matter, Li Qing actually wanted to establish himself as the king of the east, which was ridiculous, but it was his own father-in-law who reported it, what could he say? Li Heng actually had a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Seeing that he also had nothing to say, Li Longji glanced at Li Linfu again, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, so he said loudly: "Pass Li Qing into the hall!" ”

"Pass Li Qing into the hall!" The voice of the word was sent out of the main hall one by one.

Li Linfu was taken aback, this kind of thing The emperor never immediately asked the person concerned to question, and he must discuss it with himself first, but what is going on today? He had bypassed himself, had he already smelled something?

According to Li Linfu's plan, when Li Longji discussed with him, he would try his best to defend Li Qing and make the big things small and the small things small, but it cast a shadow in Li Longji's heart.

In fact, Li Linfu's trick is really clever, the emperor has been suspicious since ancient times, even if he has a little distrust of his ministers, he will never let him lead the troops, but Li Linfu never expected that Yang Zhao would betray him and give Li Longji a preventive injection in advance.

A moment later, Li Qing, under the leadership of the guide officer, strode in

Lao Yuan knelt on his left knee and said loudly: "Li Qing, the commander of the minister, Guoyi, knocks to see the emperor."

A gentle smile appeared on Li Longji's face, "General Li, please get up!" ”

He looked at the king: #希望你给朕一个说法! ”

Li Longji's words attracted a surprised gaze among the officials, how could there be such a question, it was obvious that the emperor did not believe in the impeachment of Wang Yushi at all.

There was silence in the court, and everyone was looking at this young man who caused the prime minister's party to attack,

Although Li Qing didn't know that he had already fought for the title of official for himself, and the smell of gunpowder was full, he only obeyed the king :=.

"Impeach yourself for wanting to establish yourself as the king of the east, but they can't figure it out!"

Li Qing slowly turned around and said to the king: #想问问王御史, where did you hear this? And on what basis? ”

"This is not what I said, but what Du Youlin, the doctor of Donggong Shanzan, accused General Li of saying to him when he was in Nanzhao." The king faintly felt a hint of something wrong in his heart, but he couldn't think of what the problem was.

Li Qing sneered, and secretly thought: "Du Youlin's case is really a treasure chest, you can put anything in it, and even let Du Youlin testify that he has the intention of rebellion, it seems that Li Linfu doesn't pay attention to his retreating posture at all, he doesn't interfere with Du Youlin's case, and he doesn't appreciate it." If they blindly retreat, they will inevitably be more arrogant, and they will be forced into a dead end step by step, and they will not let them taste what it means to move stones and hit themselves in the foot, they really think that they are weak and easy to bully, just that! Wealth is in danger, and it is out of the way. ’

Come to think of it. Li Qing's heart was crossed, and he turned to Li Longji and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please think about it, there are only three hundred sons under the minister, and they are all Yulin Army, and they are loyal to Your Majesty's forbidden army guards, will they support the minister to establish himself as the king of the east?" East has been the territory of the Han people since ancient times. They only recognize the attached Tang Dynasty, can the Han clan tolerate me to occupy their land? There is also Du Youlin, he has never been to the East at all, how does he know that I want to establish myself as the king of the East? Is it true that after I left the East, I ran like a fool and told him that I wanted to set myself up as the king of the East? Who is he, who can make me dig out my heart so much, and tell me everything about rebellion. Your Majesty, no matter how reasonable or reasonable, can't explain this, so why does Du Youlin still say this? There is only one possibility. It was someone who wanted to frame him as a minister, and tortured Du Youlin. Perjury of torture! ”

Speaking of this, Li Qing's eyes forced to look at Wang: What you said, well, can you invite Dr. Du to come to the court to confront him face to face, when did I say this to him? Since he heard it, why didn't he report it to Lord Wei, not to His Majesty, but when His Majesty wanted to reward me, these words came out. What is the purpose of this? Your Majesty, please allow Weichen to play. Tidou has neighbors to confront him! ”

"Bold! You are a six-grade petty official, and you have no qualifications for the upper court, so you dare to roar in front of Your Majesty and all the court officials in the Hanyuan Palace, what kind of system has you become! ”

It was Chen Xilie who spoke, as soon as he saw Li Qing, he remembered what Li Linfu said, and the suffering he suffered in Nanzhao was done by this person, and the nameless fire in his heart was ignited, and he saw that Li Qing's words were sharp and merciless, and he hated him to the extreme in his heart, so he couldn't help but reprimand him angrily.

Li Linfu was shocked into a cold sweat at this time, from Li Longji's unexpected announcement of Li Qinglai's confrontation, he began to realize that things were a little wrong, and at this time, he saw that Li Qing's true purpose was not just to defend himself, but also to imply an attempt to overturn the case for Du Youlin, Du Youlin had been beaten all over his body at this time, if he really went to the court to say that he was forced to confess, and then led to Liu Ji's false accusation, then his hard work would not be lost in vain, he was just about to come forward to play a round to ease the atmosphere, but Chen Xilie recklessly interjected, poured another scoop of oil on the fire, and it was too late to stop it, Li Linfu couldn't help shouting in his heart.

Sure enough, Li Qing squinted at Chen Xilie and sneered slightly: "Chen Xiangguo, you are so weak and scared that you actually came to stop me before the emperor, could it be that you forced Du Youlin to falsely accuse me?" ”

Chen Xilie's qualifications are old, although he is on the left side, but he is too far behind Li Linfu in terms of skill and strategy, and it is precisely for this reason that Li Linfu chose him to be his deputy, doing nothing and making no mistakes, occupying a vacant place, the biggest feature of this person is to see the wind and make the rudder, originally Zhang Jiuling's subordinates, and then defected to Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong took refuge in Yang Guozhong after his career, and finally An Lushan captured Chang'an, he surrendered to An Lushan, was named a false minister, aided in abuse, and finally left a stink for a thousand years.

He indulges in women's sex every day, has too much energy, and is old and frail, his mind is naturally a little confused, at this time he was excited by Li Qing, he was suddenly angry, he didn't notice Li Linfu's eyes, and shouted even more: Know self-reflection, but want to put the responsibility on others, you are such a villain, I still recommend you to you, I am really blind. ”

Li Qing immediately grabbed his words, knelt down and said earnestly to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, even Chen Xiangguo thinks that the minister has a bad heart, and it is a matter of the reputation of the minister, please ask Your Majesty to grant the minister's request, and Tidu has a neighbor to confront the minister, if he really has evidence to prove that the minister said this, the minister is willing to die to apologize!" ”

At this point, the crown prince Li Heng also understood what Li Qing meant, he was overjoyed, and immediately glanced at Wei Jian, Wei Jian understood, and immediately stepped forward and said to Li Longji: "Since Wang Yushi's words are conclusive, Yan Du has a neighbor who sues General Li for rebellion, and the minister is the envoy of the landlord of Nanzhao, and it is even more unshirkable. ”

The core of the emperor's art lies in the balance of power, since ancient times, and it is also true today, not only to consider the interests of the upper aristocracy and bureaucracy, but also to solve the livelihood of the people at the bottom, to balance the interests of different parties, different interest groups, and different strata, but there is one fundamental point, that is, one faction is never allowed to sit big, Li Longji's attitude towards Du Youlin's case is like this, he knew from Li Qing that this case was an unjust case, but he wanted to use this case to knock Li Heng, so he handed it over to Li Linfu to handle it strictly, but last night Li Linfu's party secret meeting, There is also Li Linfu and his party chasing and intercepting the promotion of Li Qing just now, no one in the court dared to help Wei Jian speak, Li Longji's mentality began to change a little at this time, no wonder Gao Lishi wanted to help the prince speak, the balance of power between the two factions was indeed a little too unbalanced.

Today, Li Linfu's performance in the Du Youlin case has a tendency to expand, but this has made Li Longji vigilant, and if he is really implicated too much, it will inevitably trigger a large-scale defection of princely officials to Li Linfu, and this is another result that Li Longji does not want to see.

And now, Li Qing seized this opportunity to rehabilitate Du Youlin's case, and after weighing it again, Li Longji also decided to stop the situation, no longer pursue it, and took the opportunity of Li Qing to clear his innocence to get rid of Du Youlin's case, and at the same time completely pushed Li Qing into the prince's party, cutting off his idea of being alone.

Thinking of this, Li Longji finally nodded and said to Li Qing: "This matter cares about Qing's reputation, and I have decided to find out about this matter and return Qingqing's innocence!" ”

His face sank, and he elongated his voice and said, "Spread the word that Tidu has a neighbor to the temple!" ”
