"I have ruled the world for decades, and I know that it is not easy for monarchs and ministers to get along with each other, and to start well and finish well." Li Longji didn't care about Chen Xuanli's mood, and said to himself: "Let's just say that Wang Zhonghei, I pity his father for his loyalty and courage to the country and died on the battlefield, and take him as a righteous son, and raise him in the palace, and the food and clothing are the same as those of the princes." When he became an adult, I followed his wishes, let him gallop across the frontier, and repeatedly carried him, until the four towns of Longyou, Shuofang, Hexi, and Hedong were all entrusted to him, isn't the grace deep? But how did he deal with me! Not a single stone castle will be taken for me! ”

Chen Xuanli, who was preoccupied, couldn't understand why the saint suddenly turned his words to Wang Zhonghe, who had been dead for many years, and he was at a loss; Gao Lishi, whose heart was like a mirror, sighed secretly, but did not dare to interject to interrupt.

"What is said is not controlled by the enemy, and what must not be harmed by the country; To say that you can't exchange the lives of tens of thousands of people for an official position, in the final analysis, it's not undisciplined, disloyal and unfilial! In front of Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli, Li Longji did not need to deliberately hide his emotions: "What's even more hateful is that he is not pure-minded and has long dared to deceive me, no wonder his son is so cunning." ”

"Son......" Chen Xuanli heard this, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a moth drawn by Wang Fei." ”

Seven or eight days ago, when the right minister Yang Guozhong was disgraced because of nursery rhymes, a stunned text suddenly came out of the market, saying that Fei Langjun, who has been prosperous in Chang'an in recent years, is not the son of Wang Zhengjian, the protector of Beiting, but the illegitimate son of Wang Zhongsi and Mrs. Cui.

The change of text is clear-sighted, and the situation of the Cui sisters' family in the face of great changes and going to Beijing to file a complaint in order to return the family property is not bad at all; The misery of her sister Cui Ying dying of illness and her sister Cui Ning living in Chang'an is even more vivid; As for what Wang Zhongsi and Wang Zhengjian liked Cui Ning at the same time, Wang Zhongsi took the lead but did not dare to take a concubine because of fear, Wang Zhengjian was greedy for beauty and willing to raise a fake child......

Compared with nursery rhymes and long poems, the content of the text is detailed and easy to understand, and the characters involved are the famous Wang Zhongsi, Wang Zhengjian of Jiezhen and the famous Fei Langjun, which spread rapidly as soon as they were circulated, and in two or three days, they spread all over Chang'an City.

Although Chen Xuanli's eyes were fixed on the saint, he also heard that Mrs. Pei, the main room of Wang Zhengjian, had gone to Jinchengfang to ask for the guilt in a rage, which made the chickens and dogs jump in Wang Fei's house, and it was not until Princess Jianning came forward that the dispute was temporarily calmed down. Plagued by rumors, Wang Fei claimed to be ill and had not appeared in the court for five or six days......

The autumn wind passes through the Xuanwu, and the frost fills the high-rise buildings.

"General Chen, do you think what Wang Zhonghei did is a deception of the king, no king and no father?" Li Longji suddenly asked.

"Of course!" Chen Xuanli hurriedly replied.

"What do you think is the most resentful crime of Wang Zhonghei?"

"This ......" In the autumn wind, Chen Xuanli was sweating.

"General Chen has tens of thousands of dragon martial troops in his hands, what dare you not say, and what do you dare not do?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows and looked angry, and his face was like frost.

"Wang Zhonghei colluded with the East Palace, with bad intentions, and should be punished!" Chen Xuanli trembled and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty!" ”

"What is General Chen's crime?" Li Longji laughed playfully.

"Many years ago, the old minister was confused for a while, coveted the gift of Wang Yuanbao, and concealed a crime for him." In the face of such a mountain of coercion, Chen Xuanli made a decision in an instant.

"Wang Yuanbao?" Li Longji was slightly surprised.

"Your Majesty still remembers that year Chinese New Year's Eve drove the ......"

"Huh?" Li Longji rubbed his temples: "Could it be that the riot was caused by someone sent by Wang Yuanbao?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Chen Xuanli snorted and cried: "Weichen was ordered to investigate the cause of the riot, although the clues have been broken, but I vaguely guessed that Ruyiju was involved. But he was blinded by lard, and received 100,000 yuan from Wang Yuanbao to cover up the past for him. The old minister has betrayed His Majesty's trust, please forgive His Majesty! ”

"100,000! My safety and life are worth 100,000 yuan?! Li Longji was furious.

Chen Xuanli peeked at Gao Lishi, and then defended in a low voice: "Because I am not very sure that it is the wishful residence, I dare to accept Wang Yuanbao's money." ”

"If it weren't for his weak heart, why would he give away your wealth for nothing!" Li Longji reprimanded.

"Your Majesty, you are angry." Gao Lishi glared at Chen Xuanli viciously, but he had to come forward to help him exonerate, because of the Chinese New Year's Eve expulsion, Gao Lishi also secretly moved his hands and feet, "There is no evidence, General Chen only let Wang Yuanbao go, it is not a big deal." At that time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also made a secret visit for a long time, and did not find any clues related to Ruyiju. ”

"Ridiculous! I am the Son of Heaven, if I want to kill someone, why do I need evidence? Having said that, Li Longji's anger disappeared by three points.

"It's the old minister who is confused and greedy for small profits." Chen Xuanli secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gao Lishi helping.

"I am rich all over the world, what glory and wealth can't be given to you, why covet tens of thousands of dollars." Li Longji kicked Chen Xuanli, as if he was still the suave and unruly King of Linzi.

"There are many children ......and grandchildren in the old minister's family," Chen Xuanli, who was kicked, sneered.

"With me here, I can't treat them badly." Li Longji laughed: "Aren't you short of money? I'll give you a good way to get through. ”

"Your Majesty's intentions ......" Chen Xuanli knew that the real test had arrived.

"Raid Ruyiju and put Wang Yuanbao's family in prison! Shun wants to find out who ate the leopard's gall, and dares to instruct him to plot against him during the Chinese New Year's Eve! ”

"No, the old minister will go now!" Chen Xuanli did not hesitate: "It's just that Wang Yuanbao is arrested on what charge......"

"Slander the important ministers of the court!" Gao Lishi's quick thoughts: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has found out that rumors about Fei Langjun's life story first came out of the wine shop in Ruyiju. The merits of Wang Zhonghei and Wang Zhengjian should be judged by the sage, and Wang Yuanbao is a businessman, how can he comment in vain. ”

"Take Zhang Shouyu with you, so as not to slip through the net." Li Longji chuckled and explained.

"The old minister's order!" Chen Xuanli was in a cold sweat on his back: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, where should Wang Yuanbao be locked up after he is captured?" ”

"Is General Chen really confused? You don't have to ask Your Majesty! Colliers shouted.

"It's a fool!" Chen Xuanli turned around and left in a hurry, and almost fell when he went down the city tower.

Downstairs in the city, I don't know when Zhang Shouyu has ordered a thousand flying dragon forbidden army tiger ben, ready to go.

The autumn wind is chirping, and the geese are flying south.

Li Longji looked down at the downstairs of the city with cold eyes, and it wasn't until Chen Xuanli and Zhang Shouyu rode away that he snorted softly: "Count him clever......"

"It is not his wisdom, but His Majesty's kindness." Colliers flattered.

"I'm old, I can't bear to kill in vain, after all, he has been with me for so many years." Li Longji pretended to be reluctant.

"Chen Xuanli has been in charge of the Longwu Forbidden Army for many years, so it's better not to force his dog to jump off the wall in a hurry." Gao Lishi knows the way of being a minister and knows what the emperor likes to hear: "Besides, let him personally go out to arrest Wang Yuanbao, you can find evidence of the prince's immorality, and force him to fight with the East Palace, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." His Majesty is resolute and decisive, just as when he destroyed Webster. ”

"General Gao is really good at laughing, I'm old, and I'm no longer as brave as I used to be, but it's still easy to knock Chen Xuanli." Li Longji smiled.

"Your Majesty is eloquent and discerning, and Chen Xuanli's tricks naturally can't escape Your Majesty's eyes."

"Really? Then why did I not know until now that Fei Lang-kun was the son of the loyal heir? "Li Longji turned cloudy.

"This is the fault of the old slave, and the negligence of the Ministry of Internal Service has caused His Majesty's ears and eyes to be unclear." At the same time, Gao Lishi couldn't help but persuade him: "However, the flow of pills stops at the Ou Moment, the rumors stop at the wise, and the rumors in the market may not be taken seriously." ”

"Lux, I know that Wang Fei is very close to you, but you also watched Wang Zhongji grow up, so don't deceive yourself." Li Longji sighed: "Actually, it's okay, I've seen Wang before. Zhen, the tiger father and the dog son, are very disappointed, but Wang Fei is cool and Xiao Zhonghei......"

Gao Lishi wanted to persuade again, but suddenly remembered Wang Fei's black eyes, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Could it be the text released by Yang Guozhong?" Gao Lishi secretly pondered: "Judging from Fei Langjun's reaction, it seems that not all the rumors referred to in the text are rumors. But Yang Guozhong has been in Beijing for less than ten years, how can he understand the old things of fifteen or sixteen years ago? Apart from the crown prince, who else knows Wang Zhonghe's private affairs? But if it was done by the East Palace, the prince's move was incomprehensible, and attacking Fei Langjun could not keep the position of the East Palace......"

"What's going on in the North Garden?" Li Longji tapped on the railing: "Are you sure that Wang Zhengjian has left Tingzhou City?" ”

According to Zhang Daobin's secret report, after hearing the rumors about Fei Langjun's life experience, Wang Zhengjian hurriedly went to the road to ask for a house chord in Beijing, and without waiting for His Majesty's approval, he entrusted Du Huan with the military and political affairs, and quickly whipped east. According to the reports of military towns and post stations along the way, they only slowed down when they arrived in Yizhou (now Hami City, Xinjiang) two days ago. Gao Lishi took out Wang Zhengjian's recital and Zhang Daobin's secret fold from his arms, and presented them to Li Longji: "The recital will be sent to the palace this morning." ”

"If I don't agree to his entry into Beijing, what is the crime of leaving his post without permission?" Li Longji casually flipped through the music and secret folds, as if he was joking.

"According to the law, it should be beheaded. However, Yizhou is still in Beiting, and it is not at fault for the border general to inspect the military towns under his jurisdiction; Moreover, in more than a month, it will be the winter solstice court, and it is normal for the festival to enter Beijing in advance, and the Longyou festival has already set off for Ge Shuhan. Gao Lishi carefully worded: "In the recital, Wang Zhengjian repeatedly mentioned that he would step down as the protector of the North Court and enter Beijing to serve ......"

"Did Wang Zhengjian recommend someone to take over?"

"Not a word." Colliers praised Wang Zhengjian's public heart.

"In General Gao's opinion, who is the best replacement?"

"The selection of the Beiting Capital is a major military policy, and the old slave does not dare to discuss it." Gao Lishi took retreat as advance: "However, Changshi Duhuan came from a Gyeonggi family, and he has been a counselor of military aircraft for many years with the talent of Jinshi, and he is familiar with border politics and is known as a commander, and it is more than enough to be a deputy protector." ”

"The Chronicles of the Classics is brilliantly written, and it describes the Great Food and other countries in great detail, and I also turn a few pages in my spare time." Li Longji has heard of Du Huanzhi's talent: "Li Siye, the deputy envoy of the four towns of Anxi, is brave and resourceful, and I intend to transfer him to Beiting to serve as the protector of the capital after the winter solstice court meeting. ”
