A month later.

This morning court, Li Zhi ran to the morning court again, and he was ready to tell Wu Meiniang about welcoming back this time he decided not to be so direct, but to calculate the old ministers in the court, let them eat deflated, he had been preparing for a long time, and bought some old ministers, and the rest was to use threats.

"Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, I've heard some broken ears in the past few days, it seems to be related to some of you, and today I want to ask you what is going on with this broken ear!"

Li Zhi looked at the courtiers in the court suspiciously, he saw the appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji with a high and bright face, so he was angry and said viciously: "Lord eldest grandson, I heard that you went to the Cui family again yesterday to ask for land?" It's not enough for your fiefdom to have hundreds of acres, you still have to rob the Cui family's land, you say that you are also old, why are you not satisfied, Cui Hongmei of the Cui family sent citrus yesterday, she also sued you, saying that you always take advantage of the Cui family, you said you, you said how you let me be good, on the one hand is your clan, on the other hand is my uncle, how should I handle it? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then his old face turned red, and he quickly bowed down and said, "Wronged!" I do have some dealings with the eldest grandson's family and the Cui family, I bought it from his Cui family for eight hundred taels of silver per acre, how can I take advantage of them, and I am angry, Cui Hongmei, this girl, doesn't understand the reason, and she actually ran to His Majesty to complain, hum! The old man is going to her house today to ask, what is the reason for this? ”

His old face was aggrieved, he was upset, and continued: "Your Majesty, the old minister has done his best for the Tang Dynasty since the first emperor, if Your Majesty doesn't believe the old minister, it can make the courtiers feel cold!" ”

When he said this, he was not afraid of the topic going astray, in fact, Li Zhi did not say that he was a traitor, but just said that he took advantage of the Cui family, but he was full of words, saying that he did not take advantage, it was Cui Shi himself and his business, business, there are always these things happening, he can't bear to do anything wrong with what he does, but he is not convinced that Li Zhi brought this matter to the court.

Yin Xuanji on the side saw the appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji, and couldn't help but sneer, and said secretly: "The old fritter is still pretending to be serious, obviously he is the master who likes to take advantage, and now there is no room in the court, he is becoming more and more independent, and we generals dare not speak, lest he say that we bullied him as an old minister, and tell what happened decades ago to seal our mouths." ”

He smiled, stood up to play a round, and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson has always been high-spirited, and he has taken more than a dozen mothers-in-law in his life, and the industry is almost hollowed out in Chang'an, he is so rich, how can he take advantage of the Cui family?" Unless he's an insatiable old fritter, how can he still have the face to do this at his age? Your Majesty is afraid that you have misunderstood Lord Sun, please be cautious in your words and deeds! ”

His words made the other ministers in the court cry and laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh because of the eldest grandson Wuji, so they could only hold back, but there were still generals who felt as if they were too lazy to take care of the eldest grandson Wuji, and laughed directly.

"Haha, what General Yin said is extremely true, what he said is extremely true! Laugh at me! ”

"Don't laugh! Ay! Ha ha! Said don't laugh, the eldest grandson's face is dark, don't laugh, don't laugh, this is still in the court, don't laugh! ”

"Your Majesty, they just can't help it, or Your Majesty don't blame, poof!"

They laughed, and even Li Zhi laughed along, but Li Zhi also felt that the early dynasty must not be so lazy, so he quickly coughed and pulled back this group of guys who had deviated from the topic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's still a court meeting, and I'm going to talk to you about business, so I can't do it! Burst! ”

Li Zhi almost couldn't hold back his laughter again, and then his eyes fell on the eldest grandson Wuji, and said: "Since the eldest grandson is so high-spirited, then I will not pursue this matter, I still have a lot of ministers' trivial matters here, I don't know if I want to say it, and let everyone have fun!?" ”

This sentence frightened some ministers into discomfort, and some people jumped out directly and bowed to ask for words.

"Your Majesty, some time ago you said that I welcomed back Wu Meiniang, the old minister thought that this matter was very good, the old minister admired His Majesty's intelligence very much, and only then did he understand His Majesty's intentions, and asked His Majesty to welcome back Wu Meiniang, which fulfilled His Majesty's mind!"

"yes, yes! Your Majesty, let's talk about Wu Meiniang's business, the ministers and others agree with this decision with both feet and hands, Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor! ”

"Ahem, the old minister thinks... Well... It is... Your Majesty is wise! ”

These old guys are afraid that Li Zhi will tell their secrets, it will become a laughing stock in Chang'an, they don't want to do this, besides, it doesn't hurt to agree to Wu Meiniang coming back, as long as you don't make Wu Meiniang a concubine, it doesn't matter, they don't feel that it is a loss to use their secrets to manage a person back, on the contrary, they feel that they are scheming, but they were caught by Li Zhi for a while and had to give in.

Damn it!

Your Majesty... He... This kid !!

The eldest grandson Wuji was so angry that his nose turned red, he looked at Li Zhi, and said: "Your Majesty, you can welcome back Wu Meiniang, and the old minister doesn't have much to say, but if you want to make Wu Meiniang a concubine, it is absolutely unacceptable, Wu Meiniang is the daughter of the Wu family, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng have told the emperor before, you must not let this woman stay in the palace, otherwise it will be a disaster." ”

"Your Majesty can not listen to the words of the old minister, but you can't not listen to the words of the emperor!"

He was worried, worried that Li Zhi would make Wu Meiniang a concubine after welcoming him back, it would be miserable, from a concubine to a queen, it was just a blink of an eye, and now he is already the queen of Europe, if he wants to make Wu Meiniang the queen, it will be abolished.

Queen Wang is the Taiyuan Wang family, that is a big clan, if it is abolished, the Taiyuan Wang family may not give Li Zhi a good face, plus the queen was born noble, compared to Wu Meiniang, one is in the sky and one is on the ground, she is the granddaughter of Wang Sizheng of the left servant of Yuan Wei Shangshu, her father is Luo Shanling Wang Renyou, and her mother Wei Guo Mrs. Liu, noble blood, better than the Wu woman I don't know how many times, if it is to be abolished, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will not agree, but I am afraid that Li Zhi is going to establish Wu Meiniang as the queen, if so, They didn't have much to oppose it, so they had to talk angrily and make him unhappy, except for these, the others were not the same.

"I know!"

Li Zhi glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji impatiently, and thought: "This old fritter, if it weren't for the fact that you are my uncle, I would have cleaned you up a long time ago!" ”

Although his idea is a bit unrealistic, he can't clean up the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, the patriarch of the three dynasties, Sun Wuji, is still loyal to help you govern the country, if you don't say the right word, you will kill people, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military is afraid that it will not agree.

However, Li Zhi will not do it, after all, he still needs these old ministers to work for him, and the current Tang Dynasty is faintly unpeaceful, and strange things have happened in many places, such as the haunting of Kaifeng Mansion a month ago, and now that Pei Min is back, he still has to ask what is going on, whether there are really "ghosts".

He looked at Pei Min on the side and asked, "Pei Qing, a month ago, you went to Kaifeng to investigate the haunting, I want to ask you, have you found that "ghost"?" ”

Pei Min stood up, looked at the emperor on the dragon chair calmly, and finally bowed down, and said: "Kaifeng is not haunted, someone is doing it, I checked the news in the black market and martial arts after I went over, I heard that the old sect master of the Demon Sect died, the Demon Sect is in chaos, someone is making trouble in Kaifeng, the minister has killed those disciples of the Demon Sect, please rest assured." ”

Li Zhi nodded, he was not angry when he thought of the Demon Sect, and said secretly: "Demon Sect, I have fought against the imperial court many times back then, and Mr. has also dealt with the Demon Sect, he said that the Demon Sect will be eradicated, it seems that this time the death of the old sect master of the Demon Sect is really related to Mr." ”

He looked at Pei Min and said, "In that case, reward Pei Min with ten acres of fertile land, twenty pieces of cloth, and one hundred taels of gold." ”

Then the Chaohui dispersed, and Yin Xuanji and Pei Min walked together.

The sun was in the sky, hanging overhead, although it had rained lightly last night, there was still no cool wind blowing, the scorching sun was shining, so hot that Yin Xuanji and Pei Min's hearts tightened, and the two looked at each other, and they coincided. The two of them decided to go to the ice cellar to cool off, and it was best to drink a cup of salty tea.

"Xuanji, when I went to Kaifeng, I heard that you went to make trouble in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Yuan Tiangang also complained to me, let me clean you up, I told him, I am evenly matched with you, I can't clean you up, I didn't expect this old man to be angry, jumped up and scolded me, it really made me cry and laugh."

Pei Min walked in front, facing the hot wind, and said: "When I went to Kaifeng, I also met the disciples of the Xia Sect, because of my identity, they also knew me, that is, they helped me find out what the disciples of the Demon Sect were doing, I heard from them that Ziran has been in the congenital realm, and he has gone to Dongying at this moment, and it stands to reason that he will arrive in Penglai in a few months, let's wait here for him to come back, go, go to Fang Jun, that kid is now only concerned about being a father, and put down the affairs of the newspaper and the beggars, Let's go clean up and let him talk to us in Ziran's ice cellar. ”

He remembered that since Fang Jun had Xia Er, he listened to his wife like a good baby, and was as afraid of his wife as Fang Xuanling, he didn't come out to drink at both ends of the day, and rarely laughed with them, but now it's better, he has a child, he is a full-time father, he never goes out, and the newspaper and the beggar gang are also handed over to others to take care of, and if he continues like this, I am afraid that this goods will be imprisoned at home by his wife for the rest of his life.

Yin Xuanji smiled and sighed: "Pei Min, don't say that, although Fang Jun is really too afraid of his wife, but he has also suffered a lot of blows, and now Princess Gaoyang, I can only laugh, if you want to say that she is compared to Xia Er, it is a heaven and an earth." ”

"Let's go quickly, when Ziran's house left, I gave those stinky boys to Fang Jun for a long time, let's go to his house to ask for it, and then go to the ice cellar to cool off and drink."

Pei Min nodded: "Okay!" ”

The two of them rushed to the house.

Anyway, the weather is really not good these days, the sun is scorching for a month, if it continues like this, I'm afraid the harvest of the entire Datang will not be too good, there are many people starving to death in Datang, and now when I encounter this ghost weather, I don't know how many people will die in the future.

The scorching sun is so hot that you can fry eggs, and if you put an egg on it, I'm afraid it can be baked. Those peasant households in the suburbs outside the city rarely do farm work these days, they sit under the shady and refreshing mulberry trees every day to talk, play chess, and talk about the government and politics if they are educated.

The cicadas in the trees are all calling, this month, every dusk is the same, hot! People have been tyrannical by the sun for a day, and the whole person seems to be particularly irritable, and it is easy to fight and beat people, and there is a heartbreaking pathology in the whole Chang'an. The red glow in the sky is like a hot face of a patient with a high fever, it looks like it is hot, and the bamboo forest outside the city stands gently and refreshingly between Chang'an City and Chenjia Village, and the embrace of the sunset is infinitely enthusiastic, and the whole body is brilliant, making people feel unbearable heat.

When he arrived at the house, a martial artist in Yin Xuanji felt that he couldn't stand the scorching sun overhead, so he knocked on the door of the house and said, "Come and open the door for me!" ”

Not long after, the maid came to open the door, Yin Xuanji looked at the maid's haggard face, couldn't help frowning, and said: "You girl is so hot, let's go back and rest quickly, don't show us the way, you also know that we are friends with your young master, we are here to find him, you are like this, I feel distressed when I see it, hurry back to rest." ”

Yin Xuanji looked at Pei Min, and both of them shook their heads, the ghost weather of this dog day made the entire Chang'an people uncomfortable, but there was no way, could it be that they could still ask for rain?

As soon as he thought of begging for rain, Yin Xuanji was angry, and thought: "Yuan Tiangang, that old guy is still good to say that he is a heavenly master, he has begged for rain a few times, but it has been so hot since this month, I think he has no fart skills, he will fool people, and Lao Tzu will go to scold him." ”

The two of them walked into the house and went to find Fang Jun, who was using his aura to protect his child, watching the two of them coming, he couldn't help but be happy, and asked, "Why are you here?" It's such a hot day, and you two don't hate trouble. You actually came to me, I don't know what, but you two were warmed up? ”

Warm up?

Yin Xuanji smiled and said, "I see that you are hot and confused, hot up?" What's the heat? Your marriage has lowered your ability to speak, and you have a child, and now you are hot and stupid? ”

He shook his head, thinking it was funny.
