The ministers couldn't help but feel funny when they heard it, last time Li Tao used the name of the imperial grandson to protect the king and the princess of Taiping, this time it was good, in order to protect Ge Fushun and the three of them, they directly wiped all the titles to the end and became a flat-headed people. Not to mention whether his approach is right or not, this attitude of treating status as child's play alone has embarrassed many people.

"You, you ......" Zong Chuke pointed at Li Tao and couldn't go on, so he had to say to Zhongzong: "Your Majesty, this wind can't last, if everyone follows King Lantian, then won't my Tang Dynasty law be a decoration?" ”

Zhongzong lowered his face: "The laws of the Tang Dynasty also depend on people to enforce, if you can be like King Lantian who is not a reasonable guarantor for personal feelings, and dare to use your title and official position as a guarantor, I will allow it, and I will bear this notoriety." ”

Speaking of this, Zhongzong said coldly: "I don't believe that there hasn't been a single unjust case under my Tang law over the years, but I have never seen a minister speak as bluntly as King Lantian." Now, the king of Lantian has done this, what else do you have to say? ”

Zong Chuke was speechless.

……

On July 12, Linzi County Palace, the guests were full and the hustle and bustle.

Today is the day of the full moon of Li Longji's second son, Li Ying, so it is natural to celebrate.

"Third uncle, congratulations!" Li Tao smiled and bowed to Li Longji.

"Tao'er, you can't come empty-handed to congratulate you, can you?" Li Longji quipped.

"How so? I've brought a great gift to Ying'er! Li Tao changed the topic and said: "Third uncle, let's go, take me to the inner house to see Ying'er!" ”

Li Longji knew that Li Tao had something to say. Nodding and smiling, "Let's go!" ”

As soon as he entered the inner house, he ran into Zhang Lingfeng, and Li Tao smiled: "Congratulations!" ”

Zhang Lingfeng is now Li Longji's father-in-law. And his son Zhang Wei also became a waiter in the Criminal Department, but he still did his old job, living alone in the opera village moved from Luzhou, and only went to see Zhang Wei and Zhao Lijuan from time to time. Today is his grandson's 100 days, and Zhang Lingfeng, as his grandfather, naturally wants to come to the palace.

"Oh, it's the King of Lantian. Rejoice and rejoice! ”

"Have you come to see Princess Zhao and Ying'er?"

"Yes, yes! Ying'er, this kid, looks as handsome and martial as the King of Linzi! Zhang Lingfeng couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang. I'm going to see Ying'er! Li Tao followed Li Longji and continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, Li Tao seemed to remember something again, he turned his head and asked, "By the way, Uncle Zhang." How's the pear orchard going? ”

"Almost. The park will be open in two months! Zhang Lingfeng replied.

Li Tao nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhang!" ”

After taking a few steps forward, Li Longji asked curiously, "Tao'er, what is this pear orchard you are talking about?" ”

"I bought a piece of land outside Chang'an, built a house, and taught all kinds of artists here, so the place was full of pear trees. Therefore, it is called the pear orchard. ”

When Li Longji heard this, his eyes lit up: "Tao'er." There's such a place, you must take me to see it another day! ”

"No problem!"

……

That night, in the study of the king of Linzi, the three of them were looking out anxiously.

Liu Youqiu said uneasily: "King Lantian won't be in any trouble, right?" ”

Liu Youqiu is the county order of Wannian, when Li Tao asked him to visit Li Longji, he didn't take it seriously, but later he came to Linzi Wangfu with an attitude of trying. After Li Longji learned of Liu Youqiu's intention, he treated him with courtesy, and after several conversations, the two became close friends. Today, Li Tao and Li Longji are gathering here, and Liu Youqiu is naturally indispensable.

Zhong Shaoyingjing shook his head and said: "Now in this Chang'an City, who else dares to trouble King Lantian, even the elder of the Zong Pavilion who has always been above the top still doesn't let him be disgraced?" ”

Zhong Shaojing also has a good impression of Li Longji, but he is not as desperate as Liu Youqiu, he is more because of his commitment to Li Tao.

Li Longji also nodded and said: "Tao'er has always been thoughtful, he will be fine, let's wait for him for a while!" ”

At this moment, the palace housekeeper came to report: "The king of the county, Chen Xuanli and Ge Fushun, the lieutenant generals of the right Yulin army, ask to see you!" ”

"Lieutenant General of the Right Yulin Army?" Li Longji and the three of them fainted when they heard it, Yulinjun has always been in the hands of Empress Wei, and at this time, these two people came to the palace, it was Empress Wei......

Li Longji said to the housekeeper: "Just say that this king is unwell, please invite them to come again another day!" ”

The housekeeper said again: "The two of them said that the king of Lantian asked them to visit at this time!" ”

"Did Tao'er get them here?" Li Longji was stunned when he heard this.

Zhong Shaojing said suddenly: "Has the King of Linzi ever heard that the day before yesterday in the court, King Lantian rescued the three of them?" ”

Liu Youqiu also added: "That's right, among the three, there is this Ge Fushun, it is ......."

Li Longji understood the mystery in a moment of thought, and he hurriedly said to the housekeeper: "Hurry up, please, bring them directly to the study!" ”

After a while, the housekeeper came to report again: "Liu Xuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Wei, the waiter of the Criminal Department, ask to see him!" ”

With the examples of Ge Fushun and Chen Xuanli in front, this time Li Longji quickly invited them in front.

Finally, Li Tao also came in with a person.

"Third uncle, this is Song Jing, the commander of Lantian County, this person is very talented!"

Li Tao's short sentence made Li Longji look at Song Jing with admiration.

"Tao'er, everyone is here, look ......"

Li Tao waved his hand and said, "Third uncle, don't worry, there is still one person missing!" ”

"Who else?" Li Longji was asking, and the housekeeper came to report again: "Gao Lishi, the supervisor of the court bureau, asks to see him." ”

"Supervised by the Court Bureau?"

Li Tao smiled: "Third uncle, you have to do great things in the future, how can you do it without news from the palace?" ”

"Tao'er, you still have a heart!" Li Longji suddenly realized and said to the housekeeper: "Hurry up, please!" ”

……

That night, the lights in Li Longji's library were on until late at night.

After everyone left, only Li Longji and Li Tao were left in the house.

"Third uncle, these people are all handed over to you, as for what to do next, just follow today's plan!" Li Tao said a little tiredly.

"Tao'er, are you really not going to be the emperor?"

"Third uncle, I've done it all, don't you still believe me?" Li Tao smiled bitterly.

Li Longji's eyes were a little moist: "Tao'er, third uncle, thank you!" ”

Li Tao waved his hand and said, "Third uncle, don't thank me first, there is still a long way to go, you have to pass one hurdle after another!" ”

"With you helping me, what am I afraid of?" Li Longji said with a smile.

Li Tao nodded and said, "The reason why I am so wanton now, is to attract the attention of Empress Wei and Zong Chuke to me, so that it will be convenient for you to act." ”

"I understand!" Li Longji nodded.

"While the third uncle joins forces with Aunt Taiping, he must also be wary of her, her ambition is not small, if she underestimates her, she will suffer a big loss."

Li Longji nodded. (To be continued......)
