In the five years since Tianbao, Li Longji's night light in the imperial study has been lit tonight, and hundreds of halberd-wielding guards have been closely guarding the surroundings of the imperial study, and the curtains are drawn on the windows, but you can still see a faint figure shaking inside.

Gao Lishi stood in the doorway in a daze, his two thick black eyebrows twisted into a thick line, Ge Shuhan's appearance meant the end of Wang Zhonghe, and the end of Wang Zhongsi heralded the upheaval of the East Palace.

He sighed secretly in his heart, his capital in Tai has gone down, no one knows Li Longji better than him, from now on, Datang will no longer have Tai, until the last moment, no one will know who the next heaven of Datang is, and the fratricidal and self-killing caused by this will seem insignificant in front of this unique chair in the world.

In the room, Ge Shuhan knelt on the ground, lowered his huge head and listened to Li Longji's arrangement silently.

"After you return to Longyou, you can readjust the personnel, you can record a list and report it, if there is no major problem, I will naturally play it."

Li Longji paced slowly in the room with his hands behind his back, his waist straight, his eyes deep, and his usual fatigue swept away.

"There are also junior officers you have to exchange, if those troops loyal to Wang Zhonghei can't be reorganized, you can simply disband them for me and re-recruit them."

Speaking of this, Li Longji glanced at him slightly, only to see him staring straight at the ground, not moving, and didn't seem to take his words to heart.

"Do you have any questions?" Li Longji raised his tone and asked with a bit of sternness.

Li Longji's sternness made Ge Shuhan break out in a cold sweat, his lips moved, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what crime the king commits on the monarch, please spare his death, and the minister is willing to redeem him with an official." ”

"What if I don't spare it?" Li Longji stared at him tightly, his voice unusually cold.

Large beads of sweat seeped out of Ge Shuhan's forehead, but he still said with a resolute face: "If the emperor doesn't forgive, then the minister can't obey!" ”

"!" Li Longji suddenly became furious, grabbed the pen holder on the table and smashed it at him, with a 'bang', the hollow and elegant pen holder bloomed on his head, and the porcelain pieces and blood splashed on the ground.

"Someone!"

Four or five guards immediately poured in from outside, and Gao Lishi walked in front in a hurry, looking at the scattered porcelain pieces and Ge Shuhan, whose head was covered with blood but still did not move, he couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.

"Bandage him first."

When the words came to his mouth, Li Longji changed his words again, last time Wang Zhongji was also covered with blood here, and today Ge Shuhan is like this, it seems that these soldiers are all stinky tempers, but they are also asking for their lives for the Lord, Wang Zhongsi is suspicious, but Ge Shuhan has become loyal.

Everyone bandaged Ge Shuhan, Li Longji waved his hand and ordered them to retreat, he walked in front of Ge Shuhan, and said coldly: "If I spare his life, then you have to do it according to my arrangement." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Longji stretched out his voice, but his eyes revealed a hint of smugness, "Okay! For the sake of how faithful you still have, I will spare him from dying, but. . .

In fact, he doesn't plan to execute Wang Zhonghei at all now, he wants to leave this favor to Ge Shuhan, so that he can be grateful to himself, and also let the Longyou and Hexi armies be grateful to Ge Shuhan, so as to truly follow Wang Zhonghe's military power.

"I don't promise you now, the day after tomorrow will be held in the early court to discuss the disposal of Wang Zhonghei, I want you to behave well there, and even fight to the death, I will spare him from death."

Ge Shuhan's body shook suddenly, and he suddenly understood that he was actually just a piece of Li Longji's chess.

-------------------------------------------------

Spring rises and adds to the water.

The grass and geese are full of green and breeze.

The painting boat is a hundred turns.

Hengtang Tower is close to the front.

Jiangguo is cold and late.

In early spring and February, Jiangnan Gusu is the hazy season of smoke and rain, poetic and picturesque, like a moving small jasper, an oil-paper umbrella supports the ancient lane of Muchun and the old bridge of Hengtang, and flutters into the drizzle of the powder wall and tile.

Today is the fourth day of Li Qing's coming to Suzhou, the weather is rainy and sunny, yesterday is still sunny and shining, today is drizzle, but Li Qing, who has always liked rainy days, is full of interest, he strolls on an old street with his hands behind his back, the street is very quiet, it is rare to see a person, behind the street is a small river, several women are squatting on the bank to wash the vermilion lacquer toilet, not far away there are people in the river pulp laundry, every day is like this, and gradually get used to it, each other is fine.

The floor of the side street is paved with bluestone slabs, which have been washed clean by the dense rainwater

A hawker carrying a camel walked by, shouting for a moment of nervousness from the guards of sugar porridge and lotus root powder, hugging in front of Li Qing and staring vigilantly at the fearful hawker.

In the past four days, nothing has happened, and no suspicious people have been seen, the opponent seems to have evaporated, but Li Qing has not been idle, a group of martial arts people sent by Wu Xingsu have been sent out by him, he knows that the struggle between each other is far from over, his opponent must still be hiding somewhere and watching, just waiting for him to show a little flaw will pounce.

At the end of the street is a tea house, called Wangchun Tea House, is one of the largest tea houses in Suzhou, now the new tea has not yet been listed, the front of the tea house is deserted, and when the new tea is listed in March, the river behind the tea house will be crowded with small boats that come to sell tea, it buys a large number of tea, and then sells it to all parts of the country, I heard Cui Huan say that this tea house has a background, there are rumors that he is the industry of Yongwang, and this alone has acquired nearly forty percent of the tea in the area of Suhu Lake, bringing rolling wealth.

The door of the tea house is half open, there seems to be someone busy inside, Li Qing came to be interested, turned into the door with his hands behind his back, said that it was a tea house, in fact, it was a large-scale tea shop, there were nearly 100 rooms, the front shop and the back shop, mainly wholesale, but there was also a slip counter, doing sporadic business for old customers, dozens of ceramic pots were placed on the counter, which contained all kinds of tea, and the guys were busy cleaning the shop, preparing for the arrival of the annual new tea season.

"Do you want to buy tea?"

A fat deacon ran over to greet him, he saw that Li Qing was surrounded by guards in military uniforms in front and back, his eyes showed a confused look, and he hurriedly said: "The shop has always been law-abiding, and there is no such thing as treachery and theft.

"Just stopping by and looking, nothing else."

Li Qing smiled slightly: "If there is good tea, I plan to buy some and bring it back to Chang'an." ”

"Your Excellency is also from Chang'an?" The fat deacon was pleasantly surprised, and his standard Kyoto accent was revealed, and his voice was so loud that several of the guys stopped their work and looked this way.

At this time, the curtain of the side door moved, flashing a one-foot-wide slit, and then the curtain was lowered, at this moment, Li Fei Shouyu behind Li Qing saw a face he had seen before from the crack in the curtain, this face had a three-inch long scar, extending from the forehead to the cheeks, Li Fei Shouyu's eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, he remembered, in the Broken Dao Temple competing for the golden pill, wasn't it this scar face that appeared last?

The curtain had been lowered, but that eye was still staring at Li Qing tightly, his gaze flickering.

Li Fei Shouyu reacted very quickly, he pulled Li Qing and said: "Envoy, the time for the appointment with Master Cui is coming, why don't we go first and come back." ”

Li Qing realized something, so he smiled at the fat deacon and said, "Yes, the shopkeeper might as well prepare a few excellent teas for me first, and I'll come back and taste them." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the store, about fifty steps away from the tea shop, Li Qing suddenly asked Li Fei Shouyu in a low voice, "What did you see?" ”

"The man in black who is fighting for the golden pill is in the room, I see it."

"Did he see you?"

"He didn't notice me, he kept an eye on the Governor."

Li Qing was silent, and walked a hundred steps away before ordering: "Recruit everyone back, and monitor this tea house for me day and night." ”

After a pause, he added, "Send someone to buy me some tea later, Hugh will make them suspicious." ”

.

Wangchun Tea House is indeed the property of Yongwang, it is close to the state capital Yamen, the geographical location is convenient, it has always been a temporary residence for people from Beijing, the scarred face that Li Fei Shouyu saw was the person sent by Li Linfu from Beijing, named Luo Sanlang, who had just arrived in Suzhou today, but unintentionally met Li Qing, and at this moment he didn't know what his task was.

In the evening, Luo Sanlang was still sitting in the house drinking a cup of tea that had been brewed countless times, it had been a whole day, and still no one came to him, but he was not in a hurry, fishing requires patience, since the prime minister has an arrangement, someone will definitely come.

At this time, a guy appeared at the door, and he bowed his mouth, Luo Saburo immediately stood up and went to the backyard with him, a small boat stopped on the dock, and two people walked down from it, one in front was dressed as a tea house guy, and the back one was a thin old man, wearing a gray cloth robe, the light was blurred, and he couldn't see his face clearly, when he walked to the back door of the tea house, he looked left and right, and the lantern on the door shot a faint red light, vaguely revealing his face, only to see that the old man had a wisp of goatee and thin snake eyes, and his eyes showed a cunning gaze, If King Qing saw him, he would definitely be surprised, and the person who appeared at the back door of Yongwang Tea House at this moment to meet the person sent by Li Linfu was the military advisor he relied on incomparably: Wang Daoren.
