Chapter 239: The Brocade Box
"Your Majesty's lesson is that the micro-ministers know their mistakes, and it is the micro-ministers who are greedy for merit and make progress." Seeing Li Longji's unhappy face, Liu Tong's eyes rolled and he knelt down with great respect.
Huangfukun didn't notice Li Longji's expression, and after he bowed, he said seriously: "Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, Li Canghai is young and promising, and he is an out-and-out pillar of the country, much better than those faint officials who only want to enjoy themselves all day long and ignore the people. The minister proposed that Li Canghai be promoted. ”
When these words were spoken, the faces of most of the officials in the hall became ugly.
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, in everyone's ears, his words clearly mean something, the officials in this hall are the important ministers of the court, which is not a family fortune, a thousand acres of fertile land? Didn't you make it clear that they were unconscious officials?
Liu Tong's old face instantly fell, Huang Fukun's words clearly meant that he was a faint official, and before he could question, Yang Guozhong spoke.
"General Huangfu, what do you mean, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military are corrupt officials?" Yang Guozhong touched his beard and said unhurriedly.
"Lord Xiangguo, the last general didn't say that this Manchu Dynasty was not civil and military, the last general was just saying that Li Canghai was extraordinary, and it was really a bit condescending to be a small county commander." Huang Fukun didn't care about everyone's eyes on him at all, and said with a straight face.
"Hmph, General Huangfu, the promotion of officials is a matter for the ministry, whether to be promoted or not depends on the assessment of the ministry, General Huangfu loves talents, this is understandable, but it is inevitable that there is some overstepping, right?" Yang Guozhong snorted, his face a little cold.
Huangfu Kun's brows furrowed slightly, no matter how careless he was, now he found that he had become the target of public criticism.
He knew it in his heart. I am afraid that what I said unintentionally will reveal everyone's privacy.
This Manchu dynasty is civil and military. There are only a handful of people who can really achieve innocence, and I think he also made great achievements at the beginning. Even the emperor personally went out of the city to greet him, what kind of scenery was that?
It was only because he offended Yang Guozhong and others that he was framed and deducted military salaries, which made the emperor angry and demoted him from a general with an army of 100,000 to a general who defended the capital of Luoyang.
Huangfukun glared at Yang Guozhong angrily, his fists crackled, thinking of what happened to him, he couldn't wait to go up and beat Yang Guozhong directly.
Above the main hall. The atmosphere became tense.
Liu Tong lowered his head, but his eyes were dripping and rolling, constantly flashing on everyone, he had long known the grievances between Huangfukun and Yang Guozhong, the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a sneer, and quietly took two steps back, intending to be a wall-watcher.
He has long been dissatisfied with Huang Fukun, and now he can use Yang Guozhong's hand to teach Huang Fukun a lesson, and he is naturally happy to see it.
Huang Fukun stared at a pair of tiger eyes. Blowing his beard glared at Yang Guozhong, while Yang Guozhong had a meaningless expression, squinting at him, his eyes full of ridicule.
Seeing that Huang Fukun couldn't help but rush out. Li Qi suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, Huang Fukun was stunned, and found that Li Qi pulled him. He hesitated, and took a few steps back in a rage. Returned to the pilgrimage.
"Lord Yang misunderstood, General Huangfu had no intention of overstepping his bounds. In fact, this is exactly what this king wants to show to the emperor's grandfather. Li Qi stared at Yang Guozhong intently, and smiled indifferently.
Yang Guozhong was uncomfortable being stared at by him, he secretly wondered in his heart, thinking that he was also a feudal official, one person under ten thousand people, and he had never been afraid of anyone, but Li Qi's gaze made him a little afraid.
Li Qi is the third son of the crown prince Li Heng, and his mother is a palace maid with a surname, because she is a concubine, although she is a child of the palace, she has never been valued by Li Heng.
When he was a child, he married Tubo with his sister Li Qinyuan, and after the Tang Dynasty and Tubo became enemies, Li Qin died, and Li Qi returned to the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, Li Qi had grown from a young child to a heroic young talent, and after returning to the Tang Dynasty, he made military exploits, won the love of Xuanzong, and was the feudal king of Ning.
No one knows what Li Qi encountered in Tubo and how he lived, and this part of his life seems to have become a blank.
Yang Guozhong secretly sent someone to investigate him for many years, but he didn't find the slightest thing, a person who has no past is the most unpredictable.
Therefore, in his opinion, Li Qi was much more dangerous than any of the royal descendants he knew.
"I don't have a grudge against him, so I don't think he will target me, right?" Yang Guozhong touched his beard, muttered in his heart for a while, and suddenly laughed: "It turned out to be the meaning of the prince, no wonder General Huangfu is so persistent." However, the lower officials don't understand, how can this Li Canghai be favored by the prince? ”
Yang Guozhong narrowed his eyes, before he figured out the details of Li Qi, he didn't want to form an opposition to him, but if he was asked to step back like this, how would he have the face to be Zaifu?
Li Qi smiled gently and clapped his hands.
A general in armor walked in from outside the main hall with an object in his hand, knelt respectfully on the ground, and held it high above his head.
Everyone looked at it, and the thing was covered with silk yellow cloth, and from the gap where the yellow cloth flew up, it seemed to be a wooden box.
Everyone suddenly felt confused, and looked at Li Qi for some reason. Only a look of surprise appeared in Liu Tong's eyes, and it quickly disappeared.
"What is this?" The audience had been arguing for a long time, and Li Longji had already been a little impatient, and at this time, he saw that Li Qi had ordered someone to bring in a wooden box, which made him a little curious.
"Back to the emperor's grandfather, this thing was taken by Li Canghai from the hands of the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu'. According to Li Canghai, the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' has done many evil things in Luoyang City, and its purpose is for this brocade box. ”
"Underground Hades?" Li Longji, who was a little tired, suddenly sobered up a lot, he swept the brocade box a few times, and his eyes could no longer leave the brocade box.
Gao Lishi hurriedly walked over, took the brocade box in his hand, and presented it on the golden dragon case.
Li Longji stared at the brocade box, and his breathing suddenly became short.
Gao Lishi was taken aback when he saw this, and he hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”
Li Longji glanced at him, and Gao Lishi suddenly understood, and hurriedly bowed and retreated.
"I'm a little tired after a long journey, Qi'er, Guozhong, you two stay and retreat." After speaking, Li Longji waved his hand a little tiredly.
The ministers withdrew from the main hall in turn.
Li Longji withdrew everyone, and at this time, there were only three people in the hall: Li Qi, Yang Guozhong, and Gao Lishi.
Li Longji moved his body to make himself more comfortable, he stared intently at the brocade box on the dragon case, his right hand slowly tapped on the armrest of the dragon chair, making a tuk tuk sound, and the whole person seemed to be in deep thought.
Li Qi put his left hand on his chest and his right hand behind his back, standing on the spot with an indifferent expression, and no emotional fluctuations could be seen on his calm face.
Yang Guozhong looked puzzled, he stroked his beard, his eyes stared at the brocade box and gurgled around, and he didn't know what he was thinking. (To be continued.) )
