Chapter 122: Getting Down to Business......
As soon as Wu Chengsi left, Li Zhi cheered up and said with a sinking face.
Li Hong's heart tightened, knowing that he still couldn't avoid this reprimand today, so he had to stand in place with his head down, but Li Zhi just looked at him and didn't speak.
After a while, Empress Wu glanced at Li Zhi and said with a smile.
"If the concubines are tired, they won't bother Your Majesty and Hong'er to talk privately, Wan'er, let's go back to the apse!"
Although she didn't marry Helan Minyue, after all, she was the candidate to attack Zhou Guogong, and she was the person she liked in her heart, so Empress Wu was in a good mood, and she didn't forget to make fun of the father and son before leaving, which made Li Zhi's old face red.
The two of them have been married for so many years, how could Empress Wu not see that Li Zhi had something to say to her in front of her, so she also left with interest.
Leaving Li Zhi and Li Hong, the two fathers and sons, looked at each other.
After that, a girl in a female official uniform walked out behind the throne and walked to the apse with the Empress Wu in a curling manner.
But Li Hong looked thoughtful.
Wan'er?
Could it be that the famous Shangguan Wan'er? It is rumored that she has a beautiful appearance, talented poetry and writing, and is known as the "Prime Minister of Women", and is a real strange woman.
But when I glanced at it just now, I didn't see her appearance clearly.
"Is it pretty?"
Li Zhi's dissatisfied voice sounded in Li Hong's ears, frightening him into a clever one.
found that Li Zhi looked at him angrily, obviously dissatisfied with his actions just now, and dared to love Li Zhi because he thought that Li Hong had fallen in love with the female official who followed the martial queen again.
"Uh, father, the son heard that the queen mother just called the female official "Wan'er", isn't it Shangguan Wan'er, the granddaughter of Lord Shangguan? ”
Li Hong hurriedly spoke.
If you really leave a lustful impression in Daddy's heart, it will be a big trouble!
When this sentence was asked, Li Zhi's face softened a lot.
"Your memory is good, that girl is Shangguan Yi's granddaughter, who was confiscated into the palace back then, and a few days ago your mother found out that she was a manufacturable material, so she put it by her side and temporarily became a personal female official."
Li Zhi's tone was a little melancholy, obviously evoking a lot of the past.
But it was only for a moment, and then Li Zhi regained his composure and asked softly.
"Hong'er, now that your mother is gone, you are honest with your father, do you fall in love with Minyue?"
Li Zhi's tone was very calm, but Li Hong felt that it was not that simple.
Joke......
Is this kind of thing something to be recognized?
"The father laughed, the son just felt that his cousin could not support the Helan family alone, so he took care of it, and he didn't dare to think about the personal affairs of his children."
Li Hong said with a serious face.
"Really?"
Li Zhihu looked at Li Hong suspiciously, and said with relief after a while.
"In that case, I heard that the Pei family has a young handsome man, so I will give him Minyue to marry!"
"Father?"
Li Hong said eagerly.
But as soon as he looked up and saw Li Zhi looking at him with a smile, he knew that he had fallen into the trap......
Who said his dad didn't have a scheming?
Li Hong lowered his head in shame, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Hong'er, Minyue is a good boy, but she is not a good match for you, after all, Minzhi's death is inseparable from you, you should have less contact with Minyue in the future!"
Li Zhi sighed and continued.
Now there are only two of them, father and son, and there is not so much consideration between their words.
"Na Minyue's marriage ......"
Seeing that Li Zhi was not very angry, Li Hong asked boldly.
"It's up to De Minyue to make her own decisions!"
Li Zhi said angrily.
"Her temperament is still unknown, she is as stubborn as her mother, and she was ...... back then"
As he spoke, the topic showed signs of deviation again, but fortunately, Li Zhi stopped talking in time and didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.
However, looking at the joy on Li Hong's face, Li Zhi secretly shook his head, knowing that he didn't take his words to heart at all, and couldn't help but feel helpless.
But he didn't have much to do now, so he could only let him go for the time being.
After a while, Li Zhi put away the helplessness on his face and asked.
"Don't talk about this, Hong'er, I asked you to meet Pei Xingjian today, how are things going?"
Hearing Li Zhi talk about business, Li Hong also cheered up.
Frowning and thinking for a moment, he said.
"Returning to my father, General Pei was suddenly recalled to Chang'an, and it was inevitable that he would be unhappy, but he never complained, and only said that everything was up to his father!"
Li Zhi touched his nose, a little embarrassed, and probably felt that he had caused trouble and asked Li Hong to take care of the beginning and end for him.
"Well, as long as Pei Aiqing has never been resentful, after all, the army of the Western Expedition has a credit to Sheji, and he can't be treated badly."
After a pause, Li Zhi continued to ask.
"Then, what is Pei Aiqing's plan for the Great Dynasty meeting in three days?"
This is what Li Zhi is most concerned about and has the most headache.
Although he knew that Pei Xingjian would not really collaborate with the enemy, after all, he was caught by someone, and it was played by an important minister of the court like Li Yifu himself, even he couldn't directly deny it.
After thinking about it, Li Zhi came up with a solution that was not a solution, and he was barely able to help Pei Xingjian get through, but Pei Xingjian's temperament Li Zhi was clear, and he was also stubborn, so he asked Li Hong to probe for him.
In Li Zhi's expectant gaze, Li Hong slowly shook his head, making Li Zhi feel disappointed.
"Father, General Pei is unwilling to kill Ashina Fu Nian against his will, he said that the Tang Dynasty can't treat the courtiers who have contributed to the Tang Dynasty like this."
Li Hong sighed and said in a deep voice.
"This elm pimple!"
Li Zhi showed a helpless look and muttered in a low voice.
Obviously, this result was expected for a long time.
However, it was not only this incident that made him unhappy, Li Hong's next words made Li Zhi completely fall into deep worry.
"And when Erchen rushed to Pei's Mansion, it happened that Boss Li Ji was also a guest in Pei's Mansion, and for the matter of the Western Expeditionary Army, the Boss also supported General Pei's approach, so he ......"
Li Hong didn't continue, because he believed that Li Zhi could guess.
Sure enough, Li Zhi held his forehead with a distressed expression.
Li Ji's temperament is even more clear to him, his temperament is as violent as fire, although he has cultivated himself over the years, but the strength in his bones will not change.
What's more, his position in the court is special, and once Li Ji intervenes in this matter, it can easily evolve into a large-scale duel between the civil and military camps, and then things will really make a big fuss.
But the matter has come to this point, and it must be impossible to hide it, and it seems that the great court meeting in three days later is destined to have a turmoil.
"Hong'er, do you think the matter of the Western Expedition should be handled?"
Li Zhi looked up, but found Li Hong standing there like no one else, how did he look like he was gloating, so he asked.
Lost this problem to Li Hong.
