Chapter Forty-Three: You and I Are Just Stopping by ......
Li Hong raised his eyes and looked at the hour, and before he knew it, the time had reached noon.
The case finally came to an end, Li Hong was also temporarily relieved, and when he was about to leave Dali Temple, he saw Li Ji, who had "slept" all morning, opened his eyes, yawned and said lazily.
"Hmm, the case is over? It's time to eat! ”
"Did you sleep comfortably?"
Looking at Li Ji's old face, Li Hong was angry, he had been busy here for most of the day, this old guy slept comfortably, and he didn't say a word for himself.
I don't know which tendon was wrong after the martial arts, so I asked Li Ji to come over to supervise the trial.
Looking at Li Ji's sleepy appearance, Li Hong couldn't help teasing.
"Well, it's not very comfortable, the old man is old, and he sleeps lightly! The legs and feet are not very dexterous, I don't know if anyone is kind enough to send the old man home! ”
Everyone was speechless for a while, just now the lobby was arguing like that, and it didn't make you noisy, so I was embarrassed to say that you slept lightly!
And who doesn't know that a few days ago you just made a big fuss in the political hall, shouting that you want to go to the battlefield by yourself, that energetic person, more powerful than a young man, now say that your legs and feet are not dexterous, does anyone believe it!
"That being the case, Lone happened to be on the way, so would it be okay to go back to the house with Master Li?"
Li Hong said to Li Ji with a smile on his face.
"Then thank you, Your Highness the Prince."
I've seen a cheeky one, but I've never seen one so cheeky.
One of you goes east and the other goes west, and you are embarrassed to say that you are going to go way, which way is this? The most important thing is that Li Ji was embarrassed to agree.
Everyone was shocked by this conversation between the old and the young, and when they reacted, they found that Li Hong and Li Ji had already walked out of the lobby, leaving only a group of people looking at each other.
As soon as he got into the carriage, Li Ji's originally cloudy eyes immediately became clear, and he said to Li Hong with a smile.
"Your Highness, good means!"
"Master Li watched the big drama all morning, can you watch it happily?"
Li Hong knew that Li Ji, the old fox, had been paying attention to the situation, otherwise he would not have exported to defend Jiuge at a critical moment.
But since he had been sitting on the mountain all morning watching the tiger fight, what did he mean by calling himself over now that it was over?
Li Ji's last words were clearly deliberately hinting at himself that he had something to discuss with him.
"Is Your Highness wondering why the old man has nothing to do with this case, why did he appear on the supervision seat?"
A hint of cunning appeared on his face, and Li Ji said softly.
"Is Lone really puzzled? Although this case has a lot to stake, it can't be committed by Li Shi himself! ”
A little slap in the face, Li Hong said.
"You can't be guilty of tempting the old man like this, to tell you the truth, it is Your Majesty's intention to let the old man come to supervise the trial!"
Li Ji waved his hand.
"Father?!"
This really made Li Hong unexpected, this turned out to be what Li Zhi meant? But Li Zhi is now in the Eastern Capital, how can he know what happened in Chang'an, this old fox is not deceiving him, right? What's more, the one who made the decree was obviously the Empress Wu, how did he become Li Zhi!
Looking at Li Hong's expression of disbelief, Li Ji showed a touch of cunning and said lightly.
"Does Your Highness know why the Queen Mother ordered the three divisions to try the assassination case of Her Highness?"
Don't you old man always ask rhetorical questions? You say!
Li Hong was completely speechless, this old fox is a good hand at hanging people's appetite!
However, he was really wondering, since Empress Wu dared to order the three divisions to be tried, there must be a way to exonerate He Lanmin, but when it happened, Empress Wu was far away in the Eastern Capital, how could he be sure that Helan Min would be able to get out successfully? If it is found out in public that He Lanminzhi is the mastermind behind the scenes, even the face of the Empress Wu is not good-looking!
"Please Master Li to solve the doubts."
"Hehe, it's actually simple, when the political hall reached Niangniang's hands, His Majesty and Niangniang were drinking tea together, and when I learned that Zhou Guogong was involved, Niangniang did want to make the movement smaller, after all, if it was a big fuss, the royal face would be damaged, but at this time, it was ......"
Li Hong knew that the main event was coming, but Li Ji glanced at Li Hong, stopped talking, and took a sip of tea.
Yes, this old guy is really holding a grudge, he just put him on the table last time, and he hasn't forgotten to make things difficult for himself until now!
However, who called Li Hong to ask Li Ji for something, so he had to wait obediently for Li Ji to finish drinking the tea, and then spoke slowly.
"At this time, Li Zhongshu, who sent the music to the fold, said that Zhou Guogong must be innocent, not to mention that the matter is very important, and asked the three divisions to interrogate in order to return Zhou Guogong's innocence, the queen mother hesitated again and again, but Lord Li has always insisted, and finally the queen mother made this decree, His Majesty faintly felt that it was wrong, so he added a sentence for the old minister to come to supervise the trial."
Li Ji saw that the fire was coming, so he said it happily.
Li Yifu?
No wonder Empress Wu would make such a strange will, it turned out that this old guy was making trouble, Li Hong gritted his teeth for a while, but how could Li Yifu make such a strange move? Could it be that this bureau in Chang'an was laid down by Li Yifu? But how did he know that he would be assassinated, Li Hong vaguely felt like he had caught something, but he was not sure.
"Last night, the old man received a secret letter from His Majesty, which mentioned this matter, and ordered the old minister to supervise the trial, if the situation spreads, the trial will be stopped immediately!"
Li Hong suddenly didn't know what it was like in his heart, and his eyes were a little moist faintly, it turned out that Li Zhi had long expected that Helan Minzhi would not be at peace, so he arranged for Li Ji to come over to protect himself.
It's ridiculous that I still think that Li Zhi's old love is unforgettable, protecting Helan Minzhi, he is really a bastard!
Li Ji saw that Li Hong understood Li Zhi's hard work, and nodded secretly, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had become decisive when he returned to Beijing this time, but fortunately, his gentle and filial nature was still there, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"It's a pity that Your Majesty underestimated His Highness's ability, and this time the old minister didn't help much!"
"Master Li is humble, if it weren't for Master Li today, presumably Liu Xiang would definitely not have given up so easily!"
Li Hong's words are true, if it weren't for Li Ji's words to protect Jiu Ge today, with Jiu Ge's impulsive behavior in the hall, even if Li Hong protected him, he would have been taken down a long time ago!
"But there is one more thing I want to ask Master Li, but Master Li has a relationship with my guard?"
The identity of Jiu Ge has been bothering Li Hong for a long time, he is becoming more and more unable to understand this little girl who was "saved" by himself, he can't beat and beat, and he doesn't say anything when he asks, which really gives Li Hong a headache!
Today, I finally saw a little hope from Li Ji, so I naturally won't let it go.
"Hmm, Your Highness knows that some people who practice martial arts are sensitive, and the movements within a radius of more than ten zhang are clear!"
Hearing Li Hong mention Jiu Ge, Li Ji said with a strange face, which made Li Hong can't help but shed a drop of cold sweat, could it be that Jiu Ge's martial arts are so high?
Doesn't that mean that you know your every move? It's a terrible Niko.
"Hehe, Your Highness doesn't have to worry, as far as the old minister knows, there are not many such people now, but only a few people, God knows how the girl next to His Highness practiced, she has such a spiritual sense at a young age, but it makes the old minister envious, as for her origin! The old minister is not allowed, but it will not harm His Highness, His Highness can rest assured that one day, she will tell His Highness herself! ”
In the end, Li Ji winked at Li Hong playfully like a child, with a playful expression.
