Inside the Tai Chi Temple.

Li Zhi looked at Di Renjie, who had entered the hall, with such a calm expression, so he smiled faintly, and said before Di Renjie could salute: "It seems that Huaiying is here with a heart!" ”

Di Renjie was stunned, watching Li Zhi's expression change suddenly, and then he whispered after a while: "The lord's meaning, the minister doesn't quite understand." ”

"If you don't have a heart, then you have evidence - evidence about the murder of five people, isn't it?" Li Zhi got up, walked slowly to his side, looked at him with a dissatisfied look and smiled: "Or ...... Huaiying had already guessed who and what kind of relationship he had with in the middle. ”

Di Renjie was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "The lord is wise, but the minister just doesn't understand why this state of affairs is like this-obviously that one doesn't have to do these things at all, and she will have a good result." Why ......"

"Because she doesn't want to."

Li Zhi blocked his words and said lightly: "She doesn't want to." ”

"Why?" Di Renjie was puzzled and looked at Li Zhi: "This kind of thing should have been solved gently, but Niangniang made such a big fuss...... Lord, it's just a woman, why ......"

"To you, she's just a name, a woman. But for Mei Niang, she is a real person. Someone who can warm her heart. ”

Li Zhi said lightly: "Because in this world, there is no second person who can bring her such warmth like that woman." ”

"Not even the Lord?"

"I can naturally do everything with her, but there are some things that I can't give, and I can't replace. Do you understand? Li Zhi looked at him deeply.

Di Renjie was thoughtful, but he stopped talking, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "In any case, it was against etiquette to let this woman out of the palace in the first place. According to the rules of the Tang Palace, such an identity really can't be ......"

He shook his head, but said no more.

Li Zhi smiled: "Can or can't, haven't I already done it?" In this world, what else can't be done? ”

Di Renjie looked up at Li Zhi: "The Lord doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of thinking that this matter is inappropriate. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, so why should you feel uneasy?" Li Zhi asked rhetorically: "What's more, this is good for everyone." ”

"But the world is ......"

Di Renjie suddenly stopped.

Li Zhi smiled: "That's right...... People of the world. ”

He nodded, walked down slowly, came to Di Renjie with his hands in his hand, stood beside him, faced the outside of the hall, and said softly: "The world is mine, and the people in the world are naturally me." Isn't it what I want? Some obsessions, Huaiying, it's time to let go. Since you don't even care about these things, why do you need to care about me? Since my Mei Niang doesn't care, why should you care for her? I never cared about what people in the world thought or said. When they think, they let them think. They say, and they just say it. ”

Di Renjie turned his head to look at Li Zhi, his eyes bright: "But at least, the Lord cares about the well-being of the world - that's enough." Even if the lord's actions seem absurd in the eyes of others, in the eyes of the ministers, they have their own way. That's enough. ”

Li Zhi smiled, didn't say much, only looked ahead and said, "Huaiying understands that it's best." Next, let's just look at the people behind it, how to deal with this public case. ”

Di Renjie was silent for a long time, and suddenly said lightly: "Speaking of which, the queen's mother is dealing with Yang Su's descendants this time, but the direction is very interesting...... It seems that Niangniang really wants to clean up that Lord Xu? ”

Li Zhi snorted, but said lightly: "Since it is a chess piece, it should not have its own thoughts." ”

When Di Renjie heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, his eyes just turned to a bottle of flowers on the small table on the side.

Li Zhi also followed his gaze and said softly: "They are all chess pieces, but some chess pieces are not like this...... He shook his head, but said no more.

Di Renjie was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "The minister understands." ”

"You don't understand." Li Zhi turned his head to look at him and said categorically: "You don't understand...... You Yu Zhen, Yu Meiniang, and the entire Tang Dynasty, how important you are, you don't understand. Huaiying, now, you still just think of yourself as a chess piece...... You don't understand. ”

He shook his head: "You don't understand. But it doesn't matter, you'll understand later. If this Tang Dynasty game is a game of chess, then you have already jumped out of this game, and I have become a spectator like Mei Niang. ”

Then, Li Zhi waved his hand, interrupted Di Renjie, who wanted to continue asking, and said lightly: "No matter what, this matter is very important, Mei Niang should always give you an explanation." She did give you an explanation. It's just that...... But it may not be what you want. After all, there are some chess, and it's not time to be wasted. ”

Di Renjie's eyes sank: "Lord, I'm afraid this matter is not a good reason." ”

"I can't help her, that's what she has to say. Huaiying, since you have come to this step and heard this step, I have something to say, and I need to make you understand - for Mei Niang, the important thing is never what step you can take, but what step she wants you to do. Do you understand? ”

"The minister knows, but despite this, the minister has to give it a try."

Calmly, Di Renjie replied with a smile.

The weather in June is the hottest time, and it is difficult to cool off the heat when ice cubes are placed everywhere in the Taiji Hall. After saying these few words, Di Renjie felt that his whole body was sweaty.

But he didn't plan to wipe it, and he didn't want to wipe it - instead, he wanted his sweat to be more and more enjoyable.

If you can have a thunderstorm and a storm, you can sweep away the sweltering heat, but it is the most pleasant.

He thought so.

As if it was in response to his thoughts, there was a rumble in the sky, and there was a muffled thunder, and listening to the thunder, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"It's going to rain...... This rain came at a timely time. It's just going to be a pain for those who have no shelter from the rain. ”

Li Zhi muttered softly.

In the middle of June of the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty.

This heavy rain has been raining for nearly half a month. Chang'an, which has always been full of long winds or the sun is shining, seems to have been washed away by the continuous rain for more than ten days, and the street is white - except for a few official markets, there is no longer such a lively situation in the entire Chang'an City.

But such heavy rain did not stop people from speaking at all.

It's afternoon.

"What did you say?"

Li Sujie, who was standing under the eaves and watching the raindrops into beaded curtains, twisted his face and turned his head to stare at the guards behind him: "Say it again!" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, right now, Li Zhong, the king of Liang, has been moved into the former residence of the abolished prince Chengqian."

Li Sujie gritted his teeth for a long time and said in a low voice: "I just moved into Chengqian's former residence, but I didn't say anything else?" Such a big thing, just like that? ”

"Yes......"

The guard said in a deep voice: "Although now in the entire capital, there are our people everywhere who are preaching that the murder of the five corpses is not only related to Xu Jingzong, but also related to the national prince...... But now, it seems that the Lord has made up his mind to force Di Renjie to use Li Zhong, the waste prince, to be Li Hong's yellow-mouthed child. ”

Li Sujie glanced at him: "What do you know?!" Di Renjie was originally a protégé of Uncle Yuan, and he naturally took the national prince as his priority in everything...... Regardless of whether the Huangkou child is still young, he really has no great ability to turn over the clouds and cover the rain, even if he does, he doesn't need his father to force him, he will also find a way to cover it for Li Hong! ”

"Your Highness, what should we do? It's rare that His Royal Highness has made this point, if you miss such a good opportunity......"

"Hmph, what if Li Shangjin's concubine came up with such a clever plan? Isn't it easy to unravel by that woman? Li Sujie smiled faintly, but said thoughtfully: "But that's fine...... In this way, those two people can come in handy. ”

"Your Highness is right...... The brother and sister? ”

"That woman, there are not many weaknesses in this life, but that pair of brothers and sisters who are not successful is definitely the biggest weakness of her life - I really don't know what she thought, she didn't get rid of them back then. Just give this king a chance to take advantage of it......"

Li Sujie's smile is getting bigger and bigger.
