Chapter 168: Xu Jingzong's Selfishness, Li Xian's "Prison Visit" Again

Chapter 168 Xu Jingzong's selfishness, Li Xian's "visit" again Yu has a little prince, and there is suddenly a "bright" wind in Hanliang Hall to step into the door, and the first sound that enters the ear must be the heart-rending cry of King Yin Li Dan. On weekdays, Empress Wu is often very indulgent about this kind of voice, but on this day, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and sank her face.

"What are you going to eat, so many people can't stand a child, can't you let him stop for a while!"

Her shouting made the palace attendants next to her shudder, and soon someone hurried to the apse. I don't know what method was used, the loud baby cry suddenly stopped, which also made the other person opposite the martial queen feel relieved.

Xu Jingzong, who was dressed in a purple official robe, was very helpless, and said in his heart that he didn't want to come today at all, because he knew very well what the Empress Wu wanted to say - except for asking him to help find a way to save Li Yifu, there was absolutely no second possibility. Of course, he also knows the truth of cold lips and teeth, the question is, that guy in Li Yifu is stupid, he doesn't go to heaven, he has to drill into the spearhead, what can he Xu Jingzong do? Besides, he is already old, and he doesn't know how long he can live, so he can rush ahead to be cannon fodder?

"Niangniang, this time, it's not that the minister is unwilling to come forward, but that His Majesty has been angry, and it can't be reversed with just a few words."

Although he was reluctant in his heart, he was naturally perfect in this mouth, and at this time, he showed a distressed expression on his face: "Niangniang remembered the original credit in Yifu, and wanted to take a hand, in fact, why not the old minister?" However, among so many prime ministers, why did His Majesty choose Sikong Li Ji as the supervisor, instead of the old minister or others? ”

A series of two rhetorical questions made Empress Wu's already frowning brow even more into a big pimple, she gently tapped the armrest next to her with her right knuckle, but the left hand hidden in the sleeve had already clenched into a fist, and the fingernails had even sunk deep into the flesh, with that tingling sensation that made her barely suppress the manic in her heart.

Of course she knows that Li Yifu is not angry, but the problem is that once Li Yifu is convicted of those crimes and loses her official position, then she will immediately lose an arm in the court. The decree comes from the Zhongshu, and then it has to pass through the door, with Li Yifu in the palm of the book, she can control the issuance of the decree, and with Xu Jingzong in charge, those officials will not dare to refute it easily, so that when she handles the government on behalf of Li Zhi, it will naturally be smooth. However, she warned like this, and Li Yifu still couldn't listen to it!

The most annoying thing is that the most conclusive case of Li Yifu's crime of selling officials is actually the grandson of the eldest grandson Wuji!

"Niangniang, it's not that the old minister is too talkative, for the sake of the many years of credit in the Yifu, Your Majesty should not be too strict, and it is about to be exiled outside the mountains. When Yifu and Lao Du competed back then, didn't they also degrade the history of Puzhou? After a few years, His Majesty will be relieved of his anger, and he may be back. If the mother insists on going her own way now......"

When Xu Jingzong said this, he hid the words behind him by the way. The drum does not need a heavy hammer, he knows the character of this master better than anyone else, and he is a wicked person for no reason. He squinted his eyes and looked at the martial queen above, and saw that her hair under the golden phoenix was black, and there was no half of variegation, and the skin on her face was still as smooth and delicate as a few years ago, and he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart - there are more than three thousand fandels in the palace, but this emperor almost favors her alone, but it is not only because of her clever means.

"I see." Lightly spit out four words, and Empress Wu finally made up her final decision. Instead of making Li Zhi unhappy now, it is better to wait a few more years to talk about it, but this is equivalent to the position of the right minister of Zhongshu Ling, but it must not fall into the hands of others. Looking at Xu Jingzong, who had gray and old sideburns underneath, she sighed in her heart.

Once Xu Jingzong is old, who should she use?

After leaving Hanliang Hall and slowly getting out of Jianfu Gate and into his own carriage, Xu Jingzong showed an extremely subtle expression. Being old and not dying is a thief, and he is one thing better than Li Yifu, that is, he is self-aware. At present, the emperor clearly values Shangguanyi and others, since this is the case, there is no need for him to get in the way. At that time, except for the last dynasty, he will just sit in his own house and compile the history of the country, and he will take care of everything else.

Of course, it is still necessary to choose a good son-in-law for those two granddaughters.

Thinking of the scene when Li Xian sent Xu Yan back last time, he couldn't help but rub his beard and smile. He has saved enough money, even if he has to post a large dowry this time, he doesn't care, all in all, this royal Rokuro is really a good choice!

At the same time, Li Xian, who was changing clothes over there, sneezed coldly, and after the loud sound, he actually hit several times in succession, and it was easy to stop, and he muttered in his heart - when he was young, he had heard the older generation mention that it was okay to sneeze, someone must be muttering something behind his back, don't someone be calculating, right?

"Liulang, it's been a long time, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?" An extremely impatient voice suddenly sounded outside, followed by another urging, "If something happens at that time, you are responsible!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Xian hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, and saw Qu Tushenruo standing outside in men's clothes, his face was modified, and it was actually a waxy yellow, and the green silk was completely covered by a small hat. Seeing this scene, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so he hurried

The question said: "Senior sister, what about those people outside?" ”

"I'll let them teach your four companions to read!" Qu Tushenruo waved his hand very chicly, his face full of disapproval, "It's just a mere argument, Yan Niang Xiuning is a talented girl, this kind of trivial matter can't stop them!" ”

Li Xian couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and the horror in his heart was almost unconcealed. I think his queen mother is powerful enough, why are all the people who can be civil and martial arts in these years all women? If Li Jingye's four can be both civil and military, he won't have to consume his brain cells all day long!

Together with Qu Tushenruo, he followed one of Li Ji's personal guards out of the house and got on the horse, and a group of people headed towards Zhongtai. The Criminal Department was subordinate to Zhongtai, which was the former Shangshu Province - at that time, the official position was changed again and again, and even Li Xian, the prince, sometimes felt dizzy, let alone the court officials. Often a good official has been in office for two years, and the official position is changed when the name is changed. For example, Liu Xiangdao was originally a good secretary of the Criminal Department, but now he is called the Punishment Taichangbo, which is really indescribably awkward.

Because Li Xian and Qu Tushen were mixed in the middle of Li Ji's entourage, they were not eye-catching, and when he learned that Li Ji wanted to meet the leader A Tuan and Liu Yuanzhen, Liu Xiangdao agreed without much hesitation - this Li Ji is in the middle of the list, he is one of the three princes, and he is deeply favored by Li Zhi on weekdays, this idea does not violate the principle at all, so he naturally has no need to be embarrassed - although Liu Xiangdao is cold-faced, he is not stupid, and now it is clear that he is taking most of the responsibility by himself, and it is best to be able to pull Li Ji into the water.

For the prison cell, Li Xian has no strange feeling, since the first time he followed Wang Hanchao to visit Hu Tianye, the experience of this prison is one after another, and now it is good, he simply came to the prison for a day trip. Following behind Li Ji, he felt that this prison was indeed cleaner than those prison officers in the county government, and at the same time carefully observed the surrounding terrain, and was shocked to find several secret sentinels.

Because Li Ji was here, the jailer naturally did not hesitate for a moment, first brought Ah Tuan up, and then tiptoed back without waiting for orders. It was the first time for Li Xian to see this Liu family slave who was the first master of his own, and when he looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but pout.

The ancients attached the most importance to the distinction between the upper and lower and the loyal servants to protect the master, so they chose their slaves very carefully, especially the kind of people who were close to each other or did great things. And this group in front of him ...... cough, sharp-beaked monkey gills, two-eyed thief, born with a rebellious appearance, far from the Lu Hei he accepted at the beginning, Liu Yuanzhen would actually let this kind of person participate in big things, it's really a bad brain!

"Sikong-sama!"

After a momentary impulse, Ah Tuan knew what would happen to his behavior of betraying the master, so when he saw Li Ji, it was like grasping a life-saving straw: "Lord Sikong, the villain also knows other things about my master!" About a month ago, another servant and villain in the house said that he had taken a roll of things and sold them to a group of people according to the orders of Lord Shaofu. He also said that the gang were dressed in white......"

"Enough!"

This time it was Li Ji's turn to turn pale, he never expected that the thing he wanted to ask had no result for the time being, but asked another trouble. And Li Xian, who was standing behind him, almost exclaimed, although he had guessed such a result, but guessing is speculation, and facts are facts. If the graphics of Liu Renyuan's house were really sold by Liu Yuanzhen, then Li Yifu would definitely end miserably...... This is naturally happy for him, but will the question be that it will make his father disgusted with his mother?

You must know that if there was no Empress Wu to protect him, Li Yifu would have known that he would have been nesting in that corner for a long time!

"I only ask you, Liu Yuanzhen asked you to kill people before, did you have any follow-up afterwards?"

Ah Tuan didn't expect that Li Ji didn't want to get more hidden feelings out of his mouth at all, and when he heard this, he was dumbfounded for a long time, and finally had to shake his head. Seeing this, Li Ji didn't want to talk to this slave who betrayed his master, so he directly shouted and ordered him to be taken down. Unexpectedly, at this time, Ah Tuan suddenly shouted in horror, and finally the two jailers simply knocked the person unconscious and dragged him down.

Seeing this simple and rude way of dealing with it, and hearing Li Ji's order to bring Liu Yuanzhen up, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart - he didn't know what the precious son-in-law of Li Yifu had been tossed into.

PS: March has finally passed, and because of everyone's help, I won the New Book Monthly Pass Award for the first time. This tenth may not matter to some people, but it is really rare for me. To be honest, it was very difficult when I first started writing this book, because I was used to writing heavy articles, and it was really not easy for me to be light all of a sudden, and there were many critics among the readers. But as I write, the feeling of being lost for a long time gradually returns, and sometimes I can even write with hearty passion, which makes me very satisfied as an author. Regardless of the grades, at least I feel good about this book, and I hope you will continue to support it. In a word, the April update is the same, and the writer's class will try to update the same as much during the class. Finally, I bow deeply and thank the friends who voted for my monthly ticket last month, thank you!
