Chapter 281: Inn Layout
Shi Dafu Song Hun was arrested for sitting on a huge amount of stolen goods, like a spring thunder, breaking the short-term balance, for a time Chang'an City was surging, the East Palace, seizing, King Qing, King Yong, Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu four people, the struggle between the two factions broke out in an all-round way, the authorities were exhausted, all kinds of power and tactics were used to the extreme, and the periphers were not willing to be lonely, or shouted or joined shirtless, all in order to get a piece of the pie in the future power reorganization.
On the fourth day of the fourth month of April, Li Longji's holy car returned from the Huaqing Palace.
Li Qing, the head of the household, led the whole family to Zhongnan Mountain to travel to explore the spring, he seemed to forget the officialdom of Chang'an, and the officialdom of Chang'an seemed to forget him, on the seventh day of the fourth month, Li Qing's family returned from Zhongnan Mountain and stayed overnight in Jincheng County.
Jincheng County, formerly known as Shiping County, Jinglong four years, Zong sent the princess of Jincheng into Fan, respectively, so it was renamed Jincheng County, Li Qing's family lived in the Wanchang Inn in the south of the city, did not disturb the government, at this time it was full of spring, when the youth was in full bloom, most of the tourists who returned from Zhongnan Mountain stayed in this county, each inn was full, Li Qing's family chartered two separate courtyards, and lived for themselves and their entourage.
The night is already deep, his wife Zhao Curtain is pregnant, she went to bed early, Xiaoyu wants to accompany Li Tingyue, and she also went to sleep, only Li Qing and Li Jingyan are left in the room, to be precise, Li Jingyan has no official identity so far, has not been recorded in the Ministry of Rites, and there is no record of her marrying Li Qing in the Ministry of Households, just like the later generations did not get a marriage certificate, in the classics of Zongzheng Temple, she should be a nun in Ganye Temple at this time, but in fact, this kind of thing has never been hidden from the eyes of outsiders. Almost everyone knows that she lives in Li Qing's mansion instead of the meditation room of Ganye Temple, but no one goes to impeach, this is obviously Li Longji's arrangement, no one will touch this mold, this is the ambiguity of the government since ancient times. The lord of the Tang Dynasty cannot be committed to being a concubine. You don't have a name, but people have already given it to you.
"Li Lang, you are restless this day, are you thinking about the affairs of the court?" Bring a cup of tea, gently resting on Li Qingdi's desk, three years have passed, her face is still gorgeous, her skin is fairer and shinier, but she has obviously become mature. This is especially evident in her gaze, which is soft and gentle, but different from the serenity and serenity of the curtains, with a kind of allure in the bones.
Before she entered the house, Li Qing did pace back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back, constantly looking out the window, looking uncertain. As if waiting for someone.
He didn't answer Li Jingyan's question directly, but casually grabbed her waist and sat her on his lap, but his hand reached into the placket of her clothes. Li Jingyan let out a low snort, stretched out his arm around his neck, lowered his head and gave him a deep kiss, then gently scraped Li Qing's nose, and said with a smile: "Bad thing, every time you are alone together." I just want to hit people's ideas. β
"Whoever called you so tempting, likeβ" He wanted to say that it was like a ripe apple, but he felt that the metaphor was not very suitable for her, and described Yang Huahua as the same, so he changed his words and laughed: "It is like an apple that has just turned from green to red, and it is drenched in water, so that people want to take a bite when they see it." β
Speaking of drenching, Li Qing remembered that she had just bathed. The hair is still a little damp, and the whole body exudes a feminine fragrance. His heart was agitated, his hands rubbed on her soft body, and kisses fell on her lips, face, neck and earlobes one by one, Li Jingyan half-closed his eyes, his eyes were blurred, and after a while, he didn't see him continue, so he opened his beautiful eyes, with a hint of blame in his eyes.
The lust in Li Qing's body was already raging, but he couldn't continue now, he was waiting for someone, this was a big deal, at this time, there was a slight footstep in the distance, fast and rhythmic.
"They're coming!"
Li Qing's spirits perked up, he quickly helped Li Jingyan up, and whispered in her ear: "You go to the back room and wait for me for half an hour!" β
Li Jingyan also heard the footsteps, she hurriedly pulled up the clothes on her body, like a dragonfly in water, kissed him lightly on the lips, glanced at him with a very coquettish look, turned around and quickly disappeared into the curtain.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was already approaching the door, and then there was a soft knock on the door.
"Come in!" Li Qing stabilized his mind and ordered in a deep voice.
The door opened, and two men wearing bamboo hats and covered with black gauze walked in quickly, one in front was Wu Xingsu, who had never appeared, and the one in the back was Wei Yingwu, who was a guard in the palace.
"Subordinates participate in the governor!" Wu Xingsu has not changed, just as shrewd and capable as before, but Wei Yingwu has not seen him for three years, and he has added a bit of elegance when he raises his hands and feet.
Li Qing nodded secretly, "This is a self-motivated person, it seems that three years have not been wasted." β
"Subordinate Wei Yingwu see the envoy!" to Jincheng County.
"You two may be seated!" Li Qing waved his hand and invited the two of them to sit down, a maid came over to serve tea, and then retreated, people came, Li Qing was not in a hurry, he smiled slightly, and said to Wu Xingsu first: "Your subordinates are very good, thanks to them in Suzhou." β
Wu Xing stood up with a little shame in his eyes, "My subordinates are ashamed, it took three years to develop a hundred people, and I have lived up to the expectations of the governor." β
"I'm not going to grab the land, what do I want so many people to do." Li Qing smiled and waved his hand, and said: "The soldiers are fine but not too many, you should know this, and if there are too many people, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the emperor, and that is a big deal." β
Speaking of this, he glanced at Wei Yingwu, and saw that his body was straight and his eyes were not squinting, so he smiled and said, "I heard that you can often see the concubine on duty, but is this?" β
"Yes! The subordinate was transferred to the side of the concubine Niangniang last year and was appointed as the right halberd of Qianniuwei, responsible for the safety of the mother. β
Li Qing pondered for a moment, took out a letter from an iron box he carried with him and handed it to him, his face was extremely serious, and he repeatedly admonished: "This letter is very important, you have to hand it over to the concubine yourself, if you can't give it, you will destroy it, and you must not fall into the hands of others." β
Wei Yingwu took it silently, from the realization of Li Qing's trust in him, but the eyes of Wu Xingsu next to him showed a hint of surprise, Li Qing was so cautious, it was the first time he saw it, what was written in this letter?
this
Li Qing made the most crucial move to return to the Western Regions, and this move fell on Yang Gui and only Yang Guifei could develop his decision in the direction of Li Qing when Li Longji was in a dilemma.
Yang Mo served his mother in his hometown. And Yang Huahua is a reckless person. Can't entrust this important matter, Li Qing thought about it, and then thought of Wei Yingwu, who was a guard in the palace, he was a secret key that Li Qing put in the palace, and it was only used at the most critical time, today was the first time, and then the second time that Ma Weiyi seized the palace, only twice, but it played a vital role.
"The subordinates will never disappoint the expectations of the envoy!" It seemed that he still had something to say to Wei Xingsu, so he took two steps back, and disappeared under the lamp like a shadow, without saying a word.
Seeing that he was advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, Li Qing couldn't help but smile approvingly, and turned back to Wu Xingsu and said, "I also have a task for you!" β
"Please command, the governor!"
Li Qing waved his hand and ordered him to sit down first, but he stood up and paced slowly in the room. Silently calculating the best time to make a move, now Yang Guozhong has begun to make a move against Li Linfu, Song Hun was arrested, and the evidence of Zhao Fengzhang's impeachment of Li Linfu also fell into Yang Guozhong's hands. If Li Longji really wants to move Li Linfu, then he will not let go of this opportunity, but Li Linfu has been in business for many years, how can he be willing to be killed, he will inevitably retreat as advance, and then he will help him again. Let him find an opportunity to solve the problem, so that the struggle between Li and Yang will continue for a long time, which will be beneficial to his development in the Western Regions.
Although Li Qing hated Li Linfu deeply, he didn't want Yang Guozhong to dominate the party, before he left Chang'an, he had to create a situation conducive to his own development, and the best way was for the two dogs to fight endlessly. No one can take care of him.
King Qing's arson case in Suzhou is a fierce medicine, and it will not be the last moment. He won't take it out easily, it's like making a fresh soup, the arson case is the last chicken essence, before that, you can control the heat, adjust the intensity, and finally use the finishing touch.
Thinking of this, Li Qing Huoran turned back to Wu Xingsu and said, "You have to find a way to catch Yang Guozhong's scandal within these two days, and the bigger the trouble, the better." β
Wu Xingsu hesitated for a moment and said: "But Yang Guozhong has been extremely cautious in the past few days, and he will go home every day after the next court. β
"If you can't catch it, you can make it, and I can show you the way."
Li Qing sneered slightly, and a cold look burst out of his eyes, "You might as well start with his son Yang Xuan." β
.
As Li Qing expected, Li Linfu had already smelled the murderous intent exuded by Li Longji hiding behind him in the face of Yang Guozhong's fierce challenge, and he also realized that he would face the biggest crisis since he entered politics.
In the third year of Tianbao, Li Linfu saw this step, but he seemed to be raising fish in cages, no matter how he laid out and attacked, he still couldn't escape the hands of the fish farmers in the end, and now the new fish fry are ready, and the fish farmers will pick themselves up and slaughter.
Li Linfu nestled on his slightly dilapidated rattan chair, his fingers pressed his forehead, a few silver threads fluttered gently on his fingers, and his face was sallow and tired.
Li Linfu seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and the reason why he was so painful and tired was Ji Wen's betrayal, which made his tight defensive curtain suddenly tear a big mouth, Yang Guozhong did not hesitate to aim at Song Hun, this must be the idea of Ji Wen, who knew the insider, Song Hun was arrested, and Zhao Fengzhang was controlled, which meant that Yang Guozhong broke through his defense line and grabbed his own handle.
"What will happen to you?" Li Linfu, who has always been fearless, also had to start thinking about his own ending.
Zhang Qiu and Qiong were deposed from Zuo Xiang on this matter, and finally died mysteriously, is this considered to be shooting himself in the foot? The same case, the same nature, Zhang Qiu was dismissed, what about himself? Li Linfu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, I'm afraid that Li Longji's real purpose of refusing to forgive Zhang Qiu and Qiong is to dig a pit for himself!
After figuring out this layer, there is no way back, Li Linfu suddenly gave birth to a kind of heroism in his heart, he still has capital, as long as he plans properly, he may not lose.
Moreover, behind Yang Guozhong and Qing Wangdi, Li Linfu, who was good at seizing opportunities, found that there was still a wolf hiding there, which was Li Qing, who had been silent.
The Criminal Department took over the Suzhou arson case from Li Qing, although some of them admitted to participating in the arson, but Li Linfu soon discovered the problem inside, where did Li Li go? And most of the robbed official silver has not been seen, where has it gone? The most important thing is that Wu Daoren, who he planted next to King Qing, was picked up in the river this morning, how could he be exposed? Where is he these days?
Although it is possible that King Qing retreated in Suzhou, Li Linfu, who has always known Li Qing, knows that things will never be so simple.
Li Linfu pondered in the room with his back on his back, his brows twisted into a mess, "If this evidence is really still in Li Qing's hands, then what is his purpose?" No matter what Li Linfu thought, he couldn't guess Li Qing's intentions.
"Master, Grandpa Gao is here, he has something urgent!"
"Colliers!" Li Linfu's mind flashed like a lightning bolt, and suddenly illuminated some forgotten corners, this Li Longji's shadow, the most powerful eunuch in the Tang Dynasty, how could he forget him.
"Hurry up, please! No! I'll personally go and please! Li Linfu bounced up from the rattan chair and walked out with flying steps.
Gao Lishi was entrusted by Li Longji to warn Li Linfu not to use the Suzhou arson case against King Qing and not to disturb the balance of his deployment in the East Palace, but this is just like a fish farmer telling the fish in the net not to jump around when he pulls the net, which will damage his fishing net.
Since he cleaned up Li Linfu, he was not allowed to resist, how could this be possible.
Moreover, today's Colliers is also a little different from the previous times, he has selfishness today, and he is also going to bet on a treasure in this power reorganization, so who is he betting on?
