Qin Wangfu naturally has a car to drive, but Li Congjing has long been accustomed to riding a horse, so he abandons the car on weekdays, and when he returns to Anfu, he doesn't need to deliberately put up a fight, he still rides a horse.

An Fu Menzi's demeanor was seen by him, but he just laughed it off. This doesn't mean anything, at most it shows that this disciple is a mediocre person. The breeze was still a little cold, and Li Congjing was waiting on horseback for An Chongzhi to greet him.

The door of the mansion was opened, and An Chongzhi, who was dressed in plain clothes, led everyone in the mansion to kneel and bow. Now An Chongzhi has no official position or title, but is dressed in white, and when he sees the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the etiquette is naturally very important.

Li Congjing got off the horse, walked forward, and stepped into Anfu in front of An Chongzhi. In the end, it was to give An Chongzhi face, Qin Wang's palace guards did not enter the door, only Lin Ying and Meng Songbai followed behind Li Congjing.

Everyone in Anfu is very clear about the relationship between Li Congjing and An Chongzhu, and there is no less gossip on weekdays, and everyone basically thinks that Anfu has fallen to this point, and at least half of the reason is Li Congjing. It was Li Congjing who entered the mansion all the way, and those family members and servants in the mansion were all afraid and in awe, cowering, and did not dare to look at Li Congjing.

Even An Chongzhu was turned white in Li Congjing's hands, Li Congjing was unhappy, asking them to live as well as die is not as simple as venting their anger?

Because of this, after Li Congjing and An Chongzhi sat down, the maid who came to serve tea was nervous and knocked over the tea bowl, which made her so frightened that she hurriedly lay on the ground, trembling all over, kowtowed vigorously and confessed, and asked Li Congjing to spare her death.

"Let's go down." Li Congjing said lightly, there is no sadness and no joy. This is the way of the world, many times it is better to be afraid than loved, especially to the only prince of the Tang Dynasty. In Li Congjing's view, awe is the best emotion that others can treat themselves.

An Chongzhu saw that Li Congjing had not passed through his hands, so he directly ordered the maid to retreat, and had a further understanding of Li Congjing's decisive and straightforward character in his heart, he had a stalk in his heart, and he hurriedly said at the moment: "The maid in the house lacks discipline, so that she was rude in front of His Highness and collided with His Highness, this is all the fault of the servant, begging His Highness for forgiveness." ”

"It's a little thing, it's not a big deal." Li Congjing waved his hand, signaling that An Chongzhi didn't have to care.

How could An Chongzhu not care? He secretly figured out the meaning of Li Congjing's words, and thought to himself that Li Congjing was beating him, accusing him of colluding with Li Shoujing, and making things difficult for him to go east to Puzhou? Compared with the little thing of the maid knocking over the tea bowl, it is a real big thing, in general.

Thinking of this, An Zhong pleaded guilty: "The previous servant was dull for a while, causing trouble to His Highness, but now I think about it, every time I regret it, I can't sleep at night, but fortunately, His Highness is auspicious and unharmed, this is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty." ”

An Chongxue's words changed so suddenly, which made Li Congjing slightly stunned, but then reacted to what An Chongzhi was referring to, he shook his head, looked at An Chongzhi and said: "The matter of Puzhou, An Gong thinks that the fault is to make trouble for Gu Ping?" "The salutation is very face-saving, but the words spoken are merciless.

"This" An Chongzhu looked at Li Congjing in a daze, not knowing what Li Congjing meant by this.

Li Congjing then said solemnly: "In the past, Duke An was in a high position, and one person was above ten thousand people, don't you know that if you are high, you will be responsible?" At this time, An Gong should seek the blessings of the Tang Dynasty, care about the community, have the common people in mind, and the lonely king will go east to slip, Pu and other states, intending to settle the displaced people and punish the arrogant soldiers, this is a major event of the country, and An Gong is a hindrance from it, and now An Gong thinks that he is wrong to make trouble for the lonely king, if this word is spread, An Gong will make the world laugh! ”

Li Congjing's words were serious, and An Chongzhu was ashamed and resentful, thinking that this guy really came to embarrass the old man, and it was really a blessing and a disaster. However, Li Congjing Xiao was righteous, and An Chongzhi couldn't refute it, so he could only bow his head and confess, "What His Highness said is very true, this is indeed the fault of the servant, and now I hear His Highness's words, which is tantamount to the morning bell and dusk drum, and the servant introspects himself day and night." ”

After saying that An Chongzhi made a mistake and caused trouble to Datang, Li Congjing had no intention of stopping, and continued: "King Lone and ask An Gong, Li Qi and Cui Xie competed for the phase before, does An Gong really think that Cui Xie's talent should be better than Li Qi?" ”

Now that Prime Minister Li Qi has been doing it for a long time, and is deeply trusted and reused by Li Siyuan, An Chongzhi has no face to reverse right and wrong at this time, so he has to admit: "Li Xiangzhi's talent is indeed better than Cui Xie." ”

"Good!" Li Congjing praised An Chongzhu's attitude of fact, but this did not mean that Li Congjing's attack was over, and he then asked: "Thinking about it now, does An Gong think that when he was in a high position before, he failed the trust of the country and the trust of his father?" ”

An Chongzhi's face turned pale, he raised his head and closed his eyes for a long time, and sighed, "The servant is indeed a failure to the court and a failure to Your Majesty. ”

"Gong An knows that he is wrong?"

"Knowing your mistakes."

"Good!" Li Congjing expressed his approval again, and finally looked at An Chongzhi seriously, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Duke An is deeply trusted by his father and entrusted with a high position. Now that Duke An has been dismissed from his official position, King Gu thinks that this is not enough to repay Duke An's mistakes. ”

"Then according to His Highness's wishes, what should I do?" An Chongzhi's face was miserable, and he had already accepted his fate. Li Congjing's words about the righteousness of the country, there is no room for retort to suppress An Chongxue, but he does fail the imperial court, although he is arrogant and domineering, but he is not shameless, and will quibble indiscriminately at this time.

"Murder pays for life, debts are repaid, and mistakes should be made up." Li Congjing said, "An Gong occupies a high position, and harms the country; Entrusted with the burden, and have the burden of the world. If I am a safe man, I will not live in disgrace, but I should rise up to relieve the country's difficulties and make up for the loss of the past. In this way, Fang lives up to the eight-foot body of his natural husband. ”

An Chongzhu was originally ready to destroy his family, but after hearing the words, he found that the taste had changed, and when Li Congjing finished speaking, he opened his eyes in shock, and hesitated: "What does Your Highness mean by this?" ”

Li Congjing got up, took an edict from Meng Songbai's hand, slowly unfolded it, and read it slowly: "Therefore, with the Zhongshu Sect under the Ping Zhangshi, the privy envoy An re-instructed, first because of the private abolition of the public, the court took away his official position, and now looking at his words and deeds, he is quite remorseful, I remember that he is familiar with government affairs, and this edict is hereby issued. ”

After reading it, Li Congjing looked at An Chongzhu, who was stunned, "An Gong, take the edict!" ”

An Chongzhi came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed down to receive the edict.

Holding the edict in his hand, An Chongzhu's heart was full of mixed feelings, and he was full of emotion for a while.

Originally, he had planned to leave Luoyang for a long time, but Li Siyuan didn't allow it, so he stayed. Since Li Siyuan didn't allow it, An Chongzhi knew that he might still be appointed, but he secretly guessed that even if Li Siyuan cared about the old feelings, he was afraid that Li Congjing would not agree and would make an obstruction.

Seeing Li Congjing coming to the house today, An Chongzhi knew in his heart that there was no hope of a comeback, especially Li Congjing's sharp words, An Chongzhu not only knew that there was no hope of a comeback, but he was afraid that there would be a disaster, after all, he had offended the only prince of the dynasty, and now he has lost power, and it is really impossible to have a good end.

Until the end, after Li Congjing finished speaking, he ended up like that, which caught him off guard, and now that the edict was in the palm of his hand, he didn't know what to say.

In fact, after being dismissed, An Chongzhi no longer had the heart to serve as an official, and just wanted to return to the countryside. He originally made up his mind that even if Li Siyuan wanted to reuse him because of his old feelings, he would refuse.

It's just that I didn't expect Li Congjing to come, and I didn't expect Li Congjing to have such a remark.

It was these words, and the edict in his hand, that made An Chongzhi realize that he had mistaken Li Congjing and Li Siyuan's ambitions earlier, and he had indeed failed the court and Li Siyuan.

Li Congjing said to An Zhong, who was holding the edict: "My father is a wise man through the ages, with a big mind, and I think about the old feelings, I hope that Gong An can understand the hard work of my father, don't let my father be sad anymore." ”

Let's take someone out of Anfu.

Li Congjing had already walked away, and An Chongzhi was still standing in place in a daze, his eyes were distracted, and he forgot to make a move.

After a long time, the housekeeper came up to call him, "Fujun Fujun"

An Chongzhu sighed abruptly, "I don't know that King Qin has a broad mind so much, I don't know that His Majesty has such great ambitions, this old man's fault, the old man's fault!" ”

On the same day, An Chongzhi entered the palace to meet Li Siyuan and wept bitterly in front of the palace.

After this day, Ann returned to the center. In the past, the middle gate envoy still has the same demeanor, and then he has a strong arm for Li Siyuan.

Historians recorded this period of history and praised Li Siyuan's broad-mindedness, Li Congjing's country-oriented, and An's shameful shame, and even called this incident "a sign of prosperity"

The preparatory work for the trip to Jingnan has been completed, and this time he went back to meet with Gao Jixing, Li Congjing's banner was still to discuss with him the governance of Zhong and Wanliangzhou, in order to avoid Gao Jixing being too nervous, Li Congjing did not send a hundred battle troops to accompany him this time, but only planned to take the gentlemen to go as a guard.

Returning to the house from the court, after a busy day of official business, the bright moon is already hanging high, although it is said that the day is going to leave, today's affairs are still complicated. Standing up from behind the desk, Li Congjing suddenly felt a little hungry, so he ordered Dong Xiaowan, who was still in the outhouse, to prepare some food.

Dong Xiaowan hadn't gone out yet, Ren Wanru had already walked into the house with Xiyu carrying a large plate, there was a bowl of mica porridge and a plate of pastries called "Flower Cut Belly" on the plate, the amount was not enough to make people full, but it was enough to deal with hunger in the middle of the night.

Sitting at the table with Li Congjing drinking porridge, Ren Wanru asked Li Congjing softly, "I'm going to leave tomorrow morning, do you want to go to see Zheng'er tonight?" ”

Li Congjing threw a piece of flower into his mouth and asked it to fill his stomach, and said with a slightly slurred speech: "It's getting late, so I won't go, so as not to wake him up, but it's not good." ”

Ren Wanru snorted, and picked up another piece of pastry for Li Congjing.

Dong Xiaowan sat with her chin in her hands and watched, and said at this time: "Jingnan is very far away, I think I have to go for a few days this time, it is better to take a slave and maid, and take care of His Highness on the way." ”

Li Congjing nodded, Dong Xiaowan followed him from Qimen, naturally it was very intimate, "It's okay." ”

Dong Xiaowan jumped up in surprise, jumped out of the door, and went to pack her things.

Ren Wanru glanced at Dong Xiaowan's back and winked at Li Congjing, "Your Highness, Xiaowan is not small anymore, she has always been with her, and she always has to give a name." ”

Li Congjing is now a wife, and there are no other concubines, which is really "dedicated", but for the prince, this seems a little weird, and it is far from a good thing.

Li Congjing was eating vigorously, and he didn't think much about it when he heard the words, and said naturally: "Then you can handle this matter." ”

Ren Wanru: ""
