After Li Gang said this, he also took out a silk cloth from his sleeve and presented it, Liang Shicheng looked left and right, and then came here in person to take the silk cloth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a long gift list on it, which not only indicates the name of the gift, but also who the giver is, when it is given, and what the purpose of the giver is.

Everything else is different, but the purpose of the giver is surprisingly the same.

"The burning of Genyue is a big rebellion, and Zhou Quan can't do it."

"Zhou Quan, this person, arrogant, burning Genyue, who is not this!"

"On Corporal Wang Mang's Legislative Day, when Meng De shook his hair to welcome guests, Li Shaoqing should not be confused by Zhou Quan's fake appearance and exonerate him from his crimes......"

Zhao Ji's hand holding the silk trembled slightly.

"The minister never realized that the prince of Donghai County was such a criminal person." Li Gang grimaced, and said word by word: "According to the minister's intentions, since the princes on the silk are so sure, the Donghai County Duke is the real culprit behind the arson, and it should be thoroughly investigated, starting with those who have close contacts with the Donghai County Duke and jointly opened the Donghai Chamber of Commerce!" ”

Half of the names on this and the forces to which they belong are related to the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, and if the Donghai Chamber of Commerce is thoroughly investigated, it will be necessary to investigate these people.

"Hah...... Ha ha! ”

Zhao Ji was really angry at this time, he trembled his hands, and saw the bottom: "With the talent of Shaoqing, the crime of Zhou Quan is poorly cured, and he is made to subdue the law, then in the political hall, there must be a position of Shaoqing - the envoy of Zhao Kai, King Yun, what do you have to say?" ”

Zhao Kai trembled.

Of course, he knew about this, he hated Zhou Quan deeply, and always felt that the failure of the Northern Expedition was the result of Zhou Quan's troubles, which ruined his plan to become the crown prince, so he wanted to take revenge.

And he also hopes to shift the focus of everyone's attention from the failure of the Northern Expedition to Zhou Quan, if he can really blame Zhou Quan, then as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, he will bear much less responsibility for the failure of the Northern Expedition.

The failure of the Northern Expedition due to traitors and the failure of the Northern Expedition due to improper command are completely different meanings. For this reason, Zhao Kai sent his cronies to lobby Li Gang, and hinted that Li Gang would be allowed to enter the political hall in the future and become a member of the ruling party.

But Zhao Kai didn't know what kind of face his cronies were outside.

In order to be able to "persuade" Li Gang, the cronies he sent out, but coercion and temptation, almost used all means to force Li Gang to "accept" his gift.

Even the cronies directly said that they wanted to send Li Gang to the political affairs hall, and the original hint was directly stated, and the difference behind it was very big. Zhao Kai is not the emperor now, not even the crown prince, what qualifications does he have to promote a minister to the position of governor?

"King Yun, do you have an explanation?" Zhao Ji slowly turned his face and looked at Zhao Kaidao.

Zhao Kai knelt down: "Erchen...... Erchen didn't say so, it must be someone sent by Erchen who is good at making claims, and Erchen also wants to share his father's worries, hoping to find out the truth earlier, which is used by treacherous ......"

He cried and cried to defend himself, and after Zhao Ji saw it, he shook his head with some disappointment: "You go back to the Yun Wangfu first, and send your subordinates to ...... Give it to Liang Shicheng. Liang Shicheng, a good student interrogation, take a look at who is behind him to be bold! ”

Liang Shicheng answered, but the person did not move.

He is very good at figuring out Zhao Ji's intentions, Zhao Ji said this, in fact, he just gave Zhao Kai a step down, thinking that soon after Zhao Kai went back, the messenger would be killed. In this way, everyone is happy, and Zhao Ji's heart is biased towards Zhao Kai after all.

It's just that Zhao Kai's sworn enemy in the future has one more Li Gang.

Some people are afraid, some people are happy, and the happiest is none other than the crown prince Zhao Huan. At this time, he really felt that it was wise for him not to defend Zhou Quan or fall into the ground.

He looked at Li Gang's eyes full of appreciation, and even had a rare poetry in his heart, and wanted to write a poem for Li Gang. But Li Gang didn't look back at him, just stared at Zhao Ji, waiting for the emperor's next ruling.

Zhao Kai was not the only one trembling.

Li Yan is one of the trembling people, his name is only one word different from Li Bangyan, but he is one of the eunuchs in the palace, although his status is not as good as Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan, but he is only a little bit away from Yang Jian.

Li Gang's list also has his name. He glanced at Zhao Kai, his eyes were full of resentment, the reason why he participated in this matter was not because he secretly supported Zhao Kai!

Just when he was afraid, Zhao Ji sighed and slowly paced to the side of the room, where a glass lantern was hung, Zhao Ji lifted the lampshade and stuffed the list presented by Li Gang into the fire, and after a while, it turned into an ember.

He smiled bitterly: "I don't even know that there are so many people Zhou Quan has offended...... In this way, he is a lonely and loyal minister. ”

When he burned the cloth, Li Gang's eyebrows were slightly raised, but he didn't say much, and when he heard him say this, Li Gang said: "The minister never thought that the official family would gently let this matter go." ”

"Qing is a real person." Zhao Ji said with emotion: "Okay, let's stop this matter, I really don't want to have more twists and turns." ”

"As the official family wishes." Li Gang said.

"It's all for state affairs, Zhou Quan's side, there is no need to say anything."

"I know."

Li Yan, who was trembling before, stopped shaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and Zhao Kai, who was kneeling on the ground, finally dared to get up, and the original tense atmosphere in this palace disappeared.

Only Li Gang sighed softly.

"Please leave...... "I would like to leave," he said softly.

"Li Shaoqing worked hard, I remember it, Liang Shicheng, send Li Shaoqing for me." Zhao Ji said.

Liang Shicheng responded again, but this time he acted very quickly and accompanied Li Gang out of the palace. When they came to the long royal road in Yanfu Palace, Liang Shicheng sighed and said: "Li Shaoqing, every family is still difficult to read, Li Shaoqing should understand this matter?" ”

"The lower officials know the meaning of the official family, and if they don't bother Liang Gong to talk too much, the lower officials will definitely keep their mouths shut."

"Okay, good, although Li Shaoqing is straightforward, it's not that he doesn't know how to be flexible......"

The two of them seem to be playing dumb riddles, others don't understand their conversations, but they themselves know it.

The people who put the most pressure on Li Gang were all Zhao Kai's party, and their common goal was to elevate Zhao Kai to the position of prince.

Then the second most is the clan relatives, although these people are just idle princes who have no real power, but they have a lot of influence, especially on Zhao Ji himself. One of them took revenge on Zhou Quan for burning the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce, and the other was still thinking about the Donghai Chamber of Commerce.

If they can't defeat Zhou Quan, they won't be able to carve up the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce.

The third faction is some idiots who want to shoot Zhao Ji's ass, these people often just lobby, will not bring gifts, if Zhou Quan votes for Zhao Ji's will, they will naturally jump out to fight for this "initiative" merit, if it is not in line with Zhao Ji's intentions, they will put all the responsibility on Li Gang.

All in all, these people don't care about the real arsonists, they only care about whether they can use this man-made disaster to realize their own selfish interests.

Li Gang sighed and shook his head, this is the case, the Great Song Dynasty, Zhu Zi and the powerful are all like this...... This Great Song Dynasty really needs to be reinvigorated.

And to revive the Great Song Dynasty, you must change your appearance!

As the prime minister, Cai Jing was dying of old age, and after completing the reform of apportioning the land into mu and paying taxes with money, he began to be content with the status quo and did not want to forge ahead. It is precisely because of him that the officials of the court will be reluctant to fly, and the righteous people in the court will lack a voice!

If you want Cai Jing to leave the center......

After leaving Yanfu Palace, Li Gang had a turn of thoughts in his heart, but saw a person in front of him waving to him. He frowned, but he had to follow this person to a teahouse on the side of the road.

He was greeted by one of Cai You's companions.

In fact, among the people who hinted that he wanted to detain the charge of arson on Zhou Quan's head, there was no Cai You, which made Li Gang feel a little strange, as far as he knew, Cai You now fully supports Zhao Kai, and it stands to reason that he should be on the same page with Zhou Quan.

Just like last time, except for Cai You, Wu Min was already on top of the teahouse, and when he saw Li Gang coming in, he got up with a smile and saluted: "Congratulations to Brother Boji." ”

"What's the joy of?" Li Gang shook his head.

Cai You beckoned him to sit down, smiling, but not nervous: "The arsonist found out, Bo Ji made a great contribution to my Emperor Song - I heard that someone among the guards colluded with the Liao thieves and Xia thieves to do it?" ”

Li Gang just reported to Zhao Ji, and he got the news here, even if their news came from Kaifeng Mansion, he was too well-informed. This also proves that the top level of the Great Song Dynasty is a sieve, and no secrets can be kept.

"The evidence is conclusive, they did it."

"That's bold...... Boji, how do you think the officials will deal with this matter? When Cai You said this, seeing Li Gang's reluctance to answer, he leaned forward and said sincerely: "The main thing is how the official family will treat Zhou Quan!" ”

"It's not business as usual." Li Gang said.

Cai You slapped his fist lightly: "It's always like this, but it's not good, either let Zhou Quan go overseas, be crowned the vassal king, and not be allowed to return to the country, or you have to restrict it, you can't go on like this, that is, Zhou Quan himself has no objection, but his subordinates want to be rich and noble!" ”

In this regard, Li Gang deeply agreed.

He looked at Cai You and said: "The situation in the world has come to this, and the father and son are in a high position, and I am afraid that they will not be exempt from responsibility." ”

Cai You was stunned, this was the first time Li Gang had taught him such a lesson!

"Taishi is old, fair when he is in his prime, and he is trusted by the Son of Heaven, he is a scholar of Xuanhe Palace, he should cheer up, sweep away the old evils, support the government, and make a difference.

Such bold words, when they reach the ears of the speaker, must be a crime. Cai You was first angry, then stared, and then he stood up solemnly: "Please also ask Bo Ji to teach me!" ”

"There is a scarcity of talents in the imperial court, why don't the public enter the holy words and promote the virtuous - if the imperial court has virtuous talents who can preside over the center and can shepherd the Quartet, why not Zhou Quan alone?"

Cai You smiled bitterly: "My father and a certain have a lot of disputes over this......"

Cai You is indeed more loyal to Zhao Ji, and he also wants to recommend talents to Zhao Ji, but Cai Jing is afraid that someone will threaten his phase, and for those who are talented, he always tries to depreciate and attack.

Hearing Cai You use this as an excuse, Li Gang's eyes were blazing: "Since this is the case, why don't you ask the old lady to take care of him?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Min's face, who was still smiling just now, suddenly changed greatly, even Cai You, and his expression was strange! (To be continued.) )
