1 One Great Prison Temple, two halls one by one At the same time that Li Shou followed Li Shen into the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wang Dan had already come to the Great Prison Temple, after all, since Xie An took over the post of Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, he had not yet come to take a look.

I have to say that after taking over the position of Shaoqing for more than two months, Xie An has become decent when dealing with public cases.

"Smack!" Under the surprised gaze of all the scribes in the hall, Xie An slapped the case file in his hand on the table, frowned and said, "This case file is not right!"

Remand back to Huainan for retrial! ”

"Huh?" A scribe glanced at Xie An suspiciously, walked over in a few steps, took the case file and took a closer look, with a look of surprise.

“… The criminal Zhang Laoliu, now thirty-nine years old, a tenant farmer in Liu Fugui's family, a wealthy household in Yantang County, Huainan, had an adulterous affair with Liu Fugui's concubine, and the two conspired to buy half a catty of arsenic frost to poison Liu Fu Chapter 65 Li Shou's battle (2) Gui poisoned ......, Lord Shaoqing, there is nothing wrong? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, huh?!" Xie An raised his head and glanced at the scribe, knocked on the table with his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Half a catty of arsenic frost, if you plan to poison a person, will you buy half a catty of arsenic cream?" Hiding in your own home afterwards and waiting for others to find out? Stupid home, right? What's wrong with dying not fast enough? ”

"Uh, this ......"

"Also, the concubine of the Liu family is only in her twenties, right? What about the man? Thirty-nine years old, big brother! Or what Liu Fugui's family has been a tenant farmer for more than ten years, you go to the countryside, find a tenant farmer who has been doing farm work for more than ten years, and see whose concubine in her twenties will be eye-catching! One is also adulterous and dirty! Who is this Huainan prefect? Even if you collect black money, you can't use this kind of thing to fool my Great Prison Temple, right? ”

The scribe was covered in cold sweat by Xie An's words, lowered his head and said nothing, and only after half a sound did he ask carefully, "What does Lord Shaoqing mean?" ”

"What else could there be? Remand back to Huainan for retrial! ~ The case file said that Liu Fugui also has a jealous woman and son who is not successful, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all day long, molesting women from good families, and the official has no such blessing!

Ask the Huainan prefect to interrogate these two people for me! Chapter 65: Li Shou's Battle (2)"

"Well, the lowly job immediately started to write the official document......"

"Use the words to give me harshness, either this Huainan prefect is dizzy, or he has collected black money, or his subordinates have received black money Anyway, this official wants him to give me an explanation for the Great Prison Temple!

Use this kind of thing to fool me in the Great Prison Temple? Well? ”

"Yes, yes" It may be that Xie An is too powerful, although the scribe knew that Xie An was not saying this to him, but even so, he didn't feel a little worried in his heart, so that Xie An stared at him for a long time after speaking, but he still didn't react.

"Go, big brother! Pestle waiting here for dinner? Xie An patted the table and said angrily.

"Well, yes," the clerk reacted, and hurriedly returned to his seat with the case file, and began to write an official document for the withdrawal of the case, ready to be sent to Huainan County.

Xie An looked at the clerk's movement of swinging his pen angrily, and glanced at the somewhat stupid scribes in the hall.

At first, Xie An was also a little complacent, but as the number of such appearances gradually increased, he felt that this was really too much of a delay in work efficiency, and the only benefit was that he, Xie An, no longer had to use the official position of Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple to press these subordinates who were not very peaceful.

In fact, to be honest, since Xie An skillfully dealt with the two gentlemen sent by the crown prince Li Wei to disturb them, the officials of the entire Great Prison Temple have already known that although this new Shaoqing Lord looks like he is only about seventeen or eighteen years old, he is really a ruthless character, and if he provokes him, he will not have a good life.

Thinking about it now, the crown prince Li Wei can be said to have done Xie An a great favor.

Maybe seeing that the atmosphere in the room was too solemn, Xie An clapped his hands and said with a smile, "You guys work hard, we will have dinner later, a few of our brothers, go to the restaurant to eat a cup of wine, it will be counted in the official account..............."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

"How can you let Lord Shaoqing break the bank again and again?"

"That is, today, it should be up to the lowly people to do the east."

Xie An smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you are not as good as the official, dragging the family with the mouth, with this spare money, it is better to subsidize the family, as for the official, the Dai Lu of eight hundred taels, the insiders still can't look down on it, huā can be light, save the thief from worrying about it........."

Today, the officials in the hall actually know that Xie An's wife is quite powerful, but they don't know who it is, and now they see Xie An talking so funny, and they laugh.

I have to say that Xie An is indeed very good at winning people's hearts, in his opinion, he has cut off some gray silver income from the officials of the Great Prison Temple, and strictly forbade them to have any contact with the crown prince Li Wei and the rest of the princes, and the violators will not be investigated, so he has to compensate them in some aspects.

Compare the heart to the heart, after all, the officials in the Great Prison Temple are no better than Xie An, how can there be a Dai Lu of eight hundred taels a month, now Xie An sometimes uses his Dai Lu to invite them to the restaurant to eat and drink, and occasionally send some tea and wine silver, although it is less, but it is also a heart, anyway, Liangqiu Dance does not look down on Xie An's little moon Dai, Li Shou is not short of money, the only one who will complain, I am afraid that the only one who will complain is the eldest grandson, after all, every time the eldest lady asks Xie An to buy this and that, the silver deposit in Xie An's mansion has never exceeded thirty taels.

Suddenly, a guard hurriedly rushed into the second hall and knocked on the ground, "Lord Shaoqing, someone outside the mansion asks to see you, saying that it is an old friend of the ......."

"Friends? Who is it? Xie An asked in amazement.

"This person's surname is Wang, and his name is ......"

"Wang Dan?"

Brother Wang?

Xie An was stunned, and then he couldn't cry or laugh, secretly laughing at Wang Dan biting the text and chewing the words, he had to say something about his old friends, so that he thought it was someone he had met in Guangling, and thought about it for a long time.

In fact, in addition to Su Wan in Guangling, Xie An also has someone who can be called a friend.

"Please...... No, I'll go personally! ”

After instructing the officials in the hall to continue to handle official business, Xie An took off his official robe and walked towards the door of the official office of the Great Prison Temple.

From a distance, he saw Wang Dan standing outside the mansion with his hands behind his back, looking around.

"Brother Wang, you are really ......"

Hearing this, Wang Dan turned his head and said with a smile, "Xie Shaoqing, don't come unharmed?" ”

"Come less!" Laughing and waving his hand, Tan An invited Wang Dan to the room at the back of the Great Prison Temple, where Xiang Qing and Luo Chao, who were temporarily serving as guards, were bored eating and napping in the house.

In the final analysis, although the crown prince Li Wei is busy dealing with the third prince Li Shen at the moment, Liangqiu Dance does not dare to relax, after all, Xie An has been assassinated three times, and he is hated by the crown prince Li Wei.

"Why is Mr. Wang here?" Seeing Wang Dan coming, Xiang Qing asked with some surprise.

So, Wang Dan told Xie An, Xiang Qing, and Luo Chao what happened just now, anyway, they were not outsiders.

After sitting down, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wang Dan, Tan An frowned and said, "So, that kid Li Shou is already in the palace?" ”

Humbly thanking him, taking the teacup handed by Xie An, Wang Dan nodded, and said, "If everything is according to what Miss Changsun said, His Royal Highness can be said to have gained a lot this time, but"

"Brother Wang is worried that the crown prince Li Wei will push the boat down the river and send Li Shou's kid to Luoyang?"

"Ah" Wang Dan nodded, his face full of worry.

"Isn't that just right? We can naturally take over the military power of the Western Expeditionary Army! ”

"But His Highness has never been in contact with war, even in the ......"

Looking at Wang Dan's face full of sorrow, Xie An smiled, blinked his eyes and said, "Brother, why do you think that woman wants to encourage Li Shou to do this?" ”

"Miss Eldest Sun?" Wang Dan looked at Xie An suspiciously, and wondered, "Isn't it to help me wait?" ”

"So my brother doesn't understand that woman," Xie An sighed and shook his head.

Xie An knew the woman eldest grandson Xiangyu too well, and knew very well that this woman was not trying to help Li Shou at all, but after hearing about the erosive situation of the Luoyang battle situation, the woman's restless heart began to stir again.

In Xie An's view, the woman of the eldest grandson Xiangyu is a woman who likes to be the focus of the stage, and her wisdom and outstanding talents beyond ordinary people make this woman have an ambition to hold the world in her hands.

It's not for fame and fortune, for status, for wealth, it's just that she simply wants to see the world that she can't look down on, and is manipulated by her like a puppet.

And right now, the Luoyang battlefield has just created such a stage for her, she knows very well that Li Shou does not have the talent to command the thousands of troops and horses, so she wants to help Li Shou, help Li Shou create an opportunity, create an opportunity for Li Shou to preside over the Luoyang war, and create an opportunity for her eldest grandson Xiangyu to display his talents.

Especially Liangqiu Dance admitted in person, admitting that the unknown rebel general was more powerful than her Liangqiu Dance, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu became very interested, after all, Liangqiu Dance is one of the few people she values, if she can clean up the unknown fierce general in the rebel army, it means that her eldest grandson Xiangyu is better than Liangqiu Dance.

And Xie An saw through this powerful relationship, so he agreed to the suggestion of the eldest grandson Xiangyu and let Li Shou take this opportunity to expand his power.

After telling Wang Dan about the powerful relationship, knowing that the eldest grandson Xiangyu would most likely help secretly, Wang Dan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, "Even so, it is quite risky... But if this is the case, you can get one step closer to His Royal Highness's long-cherished wish and the throne, but it is also hehe

，…”

"Do you want the throne?" Glancing at Wang Dan, Xie An took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and did not speak.

Only Xie An knew that Li Shou's long-cherished wish was not to take the throne at all.

He also knew that in fact, Li Shou disdained the throne, more precisely, he hated that position, hated being the son of heaven, hated his biological father, and hated this Great Zhou!

Unlike the half-hearted disgust of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Li Shou hated the Son of Heaven in his heart, as well as his biological mother, an ordinary maidservant in the palace, so much so that he was angry with the entire Great Zhou, and he wished that the country would perish.

Ah, this hatred hidden deep in his heart, only Xie An knows that Xie An still remembers that when he had a drink with Li Shou in Anle Wangfu half a year ago, the latter was drunk and scolded with exhaustion.

【

King Anle, Li Shou, the only prince who was crowned king when he was still an infant, Xie An, do you know what this means? First, this means that he has lost the possibility of winning the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, in other words, although he is the prince, the high throne has nothing to do with him! 】

【

Because his mother was just a lowly maidservant in the palace, who was fortunate to be born by a drunken emperor by chance......,......... Bastard! 】

【

I never saw that man as my father, just as he never regarded me as his own son, but as for my mother, the maidservant of the palace, I hated her, I hated this stupid woman!

That was the Great Zhou Tianzi and she was just a maid who could be seen everywhere in the palace, why couldn't she understand such a disparity in status? Why did you give birth to me?! 】

【

The birth of this king is a mistake, you don't know how many people in Jijing are making fun of this king, those ministers of the court and peace Akari are respectful to you, but what about when you turn around? There are many people who spit and smile contemptuously! Including those brothers of this king, hum! It seems to me that they don't think of me as their brother! 1. Do you understand this shame? 】

Recalling the past in his mind, Xie An silently looked at the tea cup in his hand, and vaguely the amiable but vaguely stern smile of an old man appeared in his mind.

Attached to An, I don't want to be an insignificant Anle prince anymore!

Prince Li Wei, no matter what, I will kill him! 】

Descend my ......]

"Ahh

Needless to say? Xie An's eyes were filled with a bit of heavy killing intent.

Wang Dan was chatting with Xiang Qing and Luo Chao, and heard Xie An muttering to himself" The three of them subconsciously looked at him, but saw Xie An holding the tea cup in his hand with a solemn expression.

The three people who didn't know what was going on looked at each other, looked at Xie An in confusion, stood up, walked to the window, put their hands behind their backs, and silently looked at the sky outside the window.

"Here it begins, His Highness Shou......"

As if they had a soul, Tan An and Li Shou said almost the same thing at almost the same time.

One by one, at the same time, after a slight pause, Li Shou followed Li Shen to the apse of the Yangxin Palace, after all, the front hall is the place where the Great Zhou Tianzi gathers his henchmen and courtiers to discuss state affairs, and the apse is the real dormitory.

Li Shou was the last to step into the palace of the Son of Heaven, and from a distance, he noticed that the dragon couch was surrounded by his brothers, in addition, there were also Prime Minister Yingong, who hurriedly came to visit after learning that the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou had awakened, and the imperial historian Meng Rang, as well as the rest of the ministers of the court.

I have to say that when the crown prince Li Wei saw Li Shou's arrival, he was really a little surprised, surprised, and a little funny.

"Li Shou, what are you doing here?"

Looking at the mocking expression on the face of the crown prince Li Wei, Li Shou's face swelled with a little anger, and he was about to speak, but he saw Li Shen stretch out his hand to stop him, and said lightly at the prince Li Wei, "His Royal Highness the prince said this, isn't Xiao Jiu the heir of my royal family?" ”

It's not that Li Shen cares about brotherhood so much, the reason why he volunteered to help Li Shou was just to repay Li Shou, by the way, sell his favor to Li Shou, after all, he intended to draw Li Shou and Xie An into his own faction.

The prince was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Li Shen and Li Shou, and said mockingly, "It's really unexpected, when did the third child and Xiao Jiu come together?" ”

"Ah, I happened to meet ...... outside the temple"

The prince pursed his lips and sneered, "Do you also happen to help him speak?" ”

"I think it may be that I don't like certain people and things, right?" Li Shen said confrontedly, after all, he had already torn his face with the crown prince Li Wei, so there was no need to be polite.

Prince Li Wei looked at Li Shen and nodded, it could be seen that at this moment, he was very angry in his heart, but it was just that it was not good to attack in front of the Great Zhou Tianzi on the dragon couch.

Suddenly, the weak call of Li Ji, the son of heaven, came from the dragon couch.

"Little... Nine? Xiao Jiu is also here? ”

Seeing this, the crown prince Li Wei could only get out of the way, frowning and looking at Li Shou and walking to the dragon couch.

"Yes, father, the sons came to visit their father" When he said this, Li Shou suppressed the hatred in his heart as much as possible.

"Oh, good...... Good...... How's it going? ”

According to what Xie An taught, Li Shou did not answer in time, but deliberately glanced up at the crown prince Li Wei, with a little resentment in his eyes.

Liuxiaojiu, what's wrong? Say it? The Son of Heaven on the bed asked softly, and he didn't know if he saw Li Shou's actions.

As if waking up from a dream, Li Shou hurriedly lowered his head and said softly as usual, "Father Qi, all is fine with his sons......"

Glancing at the crown prince Li Wei, whose face was a little unnatural, and the courtiers beside him who were talking in a low voice, Duke Yin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Li Shou deeply.

Is it because he is afraid of his father's illness, so he doesn't want to tell the truth, so as not to cause extraneous branches?

Or is it deliberately done by this Ninth Highness, specifically for the Son of Heaven and the courtiers to see?

Yin Gong is difficult to judge, but with years of experience, he doesn't think it's just an accident.

It seems that there are also masters behind this Ninth Highness!

Yin Gong smiled slightly, he naturally wouldn't have thought that one of the masters he thought was Xie An, who had several relationships with him, and the other was his resourceful granddaughter, the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

But no matter what, Duke Yin had to admit that Li Shou's hand was not half-bright, which not only showed the quality of a filial son who was worried about the condition of his father, but also quietly put the crown prince Li Wei together.

Regardless of whether the Son of Heaven saw it or not, the courtiers led by his Duke Yin next to the dragon couch could see it clearly, and Li Shou's every move.

After a few pleasantries, as the eldest grandson Xiangyu expected, the crown prince Li Wei finally started his purpose.

"Father, the son came today, in addition to visiting his father's illness, there is another matter..."

"Oh?" The Son of Heaven on the dragon couch showed a little surprise.

I saw that the crown prince Li Wei glanced around at the princes, the corners of his mouth faintly raised a little smug smile, suddenly knelt down beside the dragon couch, and said righteously, "Recently, the battle situation in Luoyang is as erosive, and the rebels are arrogant.

The sons are brave, and they are willing to drive the personal expedition for their father and the emperor to quell the rebellion, one for the health of the father, the second for the people of the world, and the third for me to die in the Western Expeditionary Army, hoping that my father will agree! ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire Heart Cultivation Hall was in an uproar, not to mention that Li Ji, the son of heaven, sat up on the couch in shock, and all the courtiers were even more moved, even Duke Yin, and his eyebrows also showed a little exclamation.

But in the final analysis, Duke Yin is worthy of being an old minister who has been prime minister for more than 30 years, although he does not have the wisdom of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who can be called a demon, but if you think about it carefully, how can you not see through the purpose of the prince Li Wei's words.

What a vicious method!

The crown prince is going to force the rest of the princes to a dead end!

After figuring out the key Yingong, he took a deep breath of cold air. !!
