XXXIV. Li does not abandon the thief of Tongxia

Feng Xu gently walked to the desk case of Han Qi, who was demoted to Zhizhou, bowed deeply, and said softly: "Zhizhou, the lower officials have something to report." ”

Feng Xu is really weak now, Li Buqi did a mess of that incident, and the three people sent to chase and kill Li Buqi also disappeared from the world, and in the end, Li Buqi not only returned to Tokyo City safely, but also made a good name. Feng Xuan Neng felt that Han Qi was becoming more and more cold to him. He has been trying to find a way to attract Han Qi's attention again, so he has been keeping an eye on Li Buqi. This time, a little bit of success has finally been achieved, so that Han Daguan must know, so that Han Daguan can pay attention to himself again.

Han Qi raised his head slightly from the letter and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Zhizhou, Xiaguan sent an official document to Jingli a few days ago, mentioning that Li Buqi may have been deliberately released back by the Xia thief in order to find out the inside story of my Great Song Dynasty, and asked the Privy Council to strictly monitor this person. Who would have thought that Li Buqi would win the blue eyes of the official family with his painting skills in Bianliang, and he would be introduced to the Hanlin Painting Academy. Fortunately, the official document arrived in time, and the Imperial City Division found out that Li Buqi had conspired to not let Li Buqi get mixed up with the officials. ”

Han Qi said lightly: "Well, you did a good job in this matter. Li Buqi may not be suspected of being a thief in Tongxia, and it is indeed not suitable for him to get close to the official family. ”

Feng Xuan was encouraged, and his heart was overjoyed, and he continued: "Li does not abandon such traitors, and it will be a great trouble for him to go under the feet of the Son of Heaven. The lower officials thought that there must be a conspiracy for this Li Buqi to deliberately approach the official family, and for the safety of the official family, it was better for the state government to issue an official letter, and ask the Kaifeng Mansion to take him down and interrogate him strictly,"

Han Qi said: "If Bianliang makes trouble about the Xia thief spy, I am afraid that the Jingshi will be shaken and it will lead to discussion." Therefore, there needs to be conclusive evidence to have a person to take it, otherwise it needs to be cautious. ”

Feng Xuan thought that he understood Han Qi's meaning, and bowed his head to receive the order: "Yes, the lower officials will definitely find evidence that Li Buqi is a thief." ”

When Feng Xuan withdrew, he felt that Han Qi's eyes had been on him, which made him secretly happy, thinking that this time he could take precautions to make Han Qi pay attention to him again, but he didn't expect that Han Qi didn't mean this at all.

There are people in the DPRK who are good officials, and this principle is the same in ancient and modern times. If you want to be an official outside the court, you must be able to stand in line correctly every time the court changes, and you must have someone in the court to report at any time when you seize the right opportunity. This is not high, Zunyu reprimanded a group of civil officials on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and immediately several people sent fast horses to inform Han Qi.

The civil officials always talked about the sentence that Han Qi said when Di Qing interceded for his subordinates, "Donghuamen is a good man by the roll call", and now some people say that this sentence is incorrect, which naturally arouses the common hatred of the civil officials. It's just that Gao Zunyu moved Taizu Taizong out with a little hairy child, and then the Gao family put his posture very low, saying that this is a child's battle of will, so that the civil officials can't say anything. And Gao Zunyu's opponent is too well chosen, if you jump out and accuse Gao Zunyu, you may be given a hat of "sympathy for Nantang".

As a result, no one has mentioned the matter since then, and the civil servants are trying to downplay the impact of the incident. But this does not mean that they will swallow this bitter fruit, you must know that this sentence is the result of decades of unremitting suppression of martial arts by civilian officials. Moreover, the idea of civil and military struggle has been deeply rooted in their bone marrow, so although they did not say it explicitly in their letters, they all hinted to Han Qi that this might be a counterattack by the martial artists and must be counterattacked.

Originally, Han Qi already knew through his own information channels that Li Buqi had made a lot of fame in Bianliang now, using maggots to treat diseases, painting murals in Daxiangguo Temple, and filing complaints in Kaifeng Mansion made the official family know Li Buqi's name, which made him regret a little that he didn't see that Li Buqi had such great ability at that time, if he saw it at that time, he would definitely keep Li Buqi under his control. But he also didn't believe that Li Buqi would threaten him, even if Li Buqi could see the emperor from time to time?

Li Buqi doesn't even have a fame, talking about the government is the right of civil officials, Li Buqi has no chance to put his beak at all, if he dares to speak casually, there will naturally be civil officials and imperial history spraying him to death. Therefore, even if Li Buqi made some reputation, Han Qi still didn't pay much attention to it. Of course, it would be better to prevent Li Buqi from getting close to the emperor, so that there would be no trouble.

As for killing Li Buqi, you can't do it deliberately, after all, Li Buqi has some reputation, and if he doesn't do it well, he will inevitably get into trouble. But since the civilian officials need a chance to fight back against the martial arts, it is not bad to send Li Buqi up. Feng Xu said that Li Buqi was born in a family of forbidden army soldiers, and the people he interacted with on weekdays were the children of the forbidden army.

Of course, planting this matter is not good for his reputation after all, so he will neither oppose nor express support, so let Feng Xu do it. What happened, it was Feng Xu's own act with a grudge against Li Buqi, and it had nothing to do with him Han Qi. Such villains are everywhere, and everyone will understand. But if this little thing can't be done well, then this Feng Xu will be too unbearable.

————————————————————————————

Zhao Zhen painted two paintings in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and today he had leisure and called the ordinary people of the Hanlin Painting Institute to appreciate it together, and then he remembered Li Buqilai, so he asked: "By the way, that Li Buqi can enter the art academy?" ”

Cui Bai was also there today, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I raised the Imperial City Si Gan Tiju and thought that Li Buqi was suspected of being a thief in Tongxia, so he was not allowed to enter the painting academy." ”

"Tongxia thief? What's going on? Zhao Zhen said: "Call Gan Zhaoji, I want to ask." ”

After a while, Gan Zhaoji trotted all the way to Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen asked about Li Buqi, and Gan Zhaoji hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, that's the case." Li Buqi's father and brother are all forbidden soldiers, and the Imperial City Division wants to check this Li Buqi's family history, so he went to the Privy Council to inquire, and learned that an official document to the Privy Council came from Shaanxi to say that this Li Buqi may have been a Xia thief who deliberately returned to find out the inside story of my Great Song Dynasty, so for the safety of His Majesty, he did not dare to let Li Buqi accompany His Majesty. ”

Zhao Zhen had no concept of such a thing, and immediately frowned when he heard the official document from Shaanxi: "In this case, you can ask Li Buqi to ask?" ”

"It's not yet. The official document only said that there was such a suspicion, but did not say that there was real evidence, so the Privy Council only sent someone to keep an eye on Li Buqi to see what he did. Recently, Li Buqi often went in and out of Ding's mansion, and the Privy Council suspected that Li Buqi might covet the "Wujing General Essentials" compiled by Ding. ”

"The General Essentials of the Martial Arts" is a military book written by the Great Song Dynasty to improve the combat effectiveness of the army and the command ability of the generals, which involves the current sergeant theory and the latest military technology of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an important weapon of the country. Therefore, Zhao Zhen was shocked when he heard Gan Zhaoji's words: "Does Master Ding know about this?" ”

Gan Zhaoji said: "The Privy Council also suspected it just now, and Master Ding should not know it yet. ”

"Hurry up and invite Master Ding to come."

Gan Zhaoji took the order, and the painters hurriedly retired, but only Cui Bai saluted Zhao Zhen here: "Please atone for your sins, Your Majesty, the minister has a word that is like a fish in his throat." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Forgive you for your innocence, you can say whatever you want." ”

Cui Bai said: "The minister thinks that Li Buqi may not be the summer thief. ”

"Why?"

"Li Buqi was only fourteen last year, and he has no class, why did the Xia thief only let him come back alone but not others? The minister looked at the wounds on Li Buqi's body. Eighteen wounds were made to his body, seventeen of which were on his chest, abdomen, shoulders and legs, and only one on his back. According to common sense, this must have been a head-on fight with the summer thief to get injured in these places. How could such a warrior surrender to the summer thief? I don't know that there is evidence that Li Buqi colluded with Xia thieves, but please don't forget the matter of Li Ling in the old Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a big mistake by killing Li Ling's whole family because of Gongsun Ao's baseless words. ”
