When Zhou Zong came to the palace, the house had already been cleaned up.

Li Jing was sitting there angry with himself, and when he saw Zhou Zong coming in, his face softened slightly.

"Zhou Aiqing, entering the palace late at night, what's the matter?" Li Jing still asked with a calm face, although he was angry, he still maintained due politeness to Zhou Zong.

Zhou Zong bowed down, knelt down and kowtowed to Li Jing, then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what is wrong with the Sixth Highness that made Your Majesty angry, could it be that the old minister and the Sixth Highness drank too much, which made Your Majesty angry?" ”

Zhou Zong's words were very untrue, in fact, his heart was bright, and he knew what was happening now.

It's just that the royal affairs, even if you know the way, you have to pretend not to know, this is the real way to be an official.

Of course, Li Jing didn't want the ministers to know about it, so when he heard Zhou Zong's question, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't know that Li Yu was drunk in Zhou Zong's mansion.

Hearing Zhou Zong say this at this moment, he sighed and smiled reluctantly, "It's okay, it's just that this unscrupulous son has done something shady and has nothing to do with Zhou Qing's family." ”

Zhou Zong smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't try to pierce Li Jing, he smiled indifferently, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has come to my mansion every day to drink in the past few days, and there are a lot of times when he is drunk, and it is convenient for the production of tobacco and other things on the mountain during the day. Zhou Zong didn't break the matter, but what he said was excusing Li Yu.

Hearing what Zhou Zong said, Li Jing was stunned, then shook his head, his face was cold, and he waved his hand to signal Zhou Zong not to continue.

"It's all said, this matter has nothing to do with the Qing family, so you don't have to talk about it anymore."

Seeing that Li Jing didn't buy it, Zhou Zong smiled indifferently and kowtowed to Lu Shang, "Your Majesty, don't you want to add to the crime, what is the trouble, how is the Sixth Highness a person, what is your character, you know more than the minister, I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

Zhou Zong's words did not mention anything, but these words were extremely pertinent, although Li Jing was still a little unlistenable at the moment, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed as Zhou Zong said, Li Yu's usual behavior should not be so confused.

Although his heart was already shaken, his mouth was not relaxed, "If Zhou Aiqing has nothing else to do, let's go back and rest." ”

Li Jing's patience with Zhou Zong is already the greatest patience, and it is also the greatest tolerance, if he is changed to other courtiers, he is afraid that he has already played out at this moment.

Zhou Zong was self-aware, so when he saw that Li Yu had given an order to expel the guest, he immediately kowtowed and resigned.

Zhou Zong left, Li Jing pondered for a long time, then took a deep breath and called out to the eunuch, "Go and see, Li Congjia is okay, if he is okay, let him come to see me." ”

Li Yu didn't actually drink that much, he did drink, but with his amount of alcohol, he was not drunk and unconscious.

But if not, how can you make it through tonight?

Someone framed him and framed him in the early Tang Dynasty by the method of "hanging jade belts at the palace gate", so if you want to avoid this catastrophe, you must first show weakness to others, and you must not stand up to Li Jing.

It is the best way to go to Zhou Zong's mansion, with the guarantee of the important ministers of the court, and he is drunk like mud, so he will not do anything else.

The smell of alcohol on his body was nothing more than the spilling of alcohol on his clothes early, causing him to smell of alcohol all over his body.

And the things that he vomited out just now were all things that he had prepared a long time ago, forcibly squeezed out in his stomach, and posed for Li Jing to see.

When Li Yu came to see Li Jing again, he had become sincerely afraid.

"The son is guilty, please punish the father."

"You claim to be guilty, but do you know what you have committed?"

"Sons should not drink excessively, not only hurt their bodies, but also hinder the identity of the prince, please ask my father to condemn this, and my sons will not drink from now on." Li Yu kowtowed deeply, looking not only sincerely afraid, but also quite remorseful.

Hearing what Li Yu said, Li Jing was furious in his heart, but his face was no longer showing it at the moment, and he snorted, "The punishment is wanted, but I want to ask you, these days, in addition to entering the palace at my will, have you ever entered the palace at any other time?" ”

"Without the will of the emperor, the sons did not dare to enter the palace for half a step, these days they have been thinking about the mountains during the day, producing tobacco, and often going to Zhou Situ's house at night to drink with him."

Li Yu replied very sincerely, although he didn't really go to Zhou Zong's house to drink in the past few days, he did not enter the palace without following the order.

Li Yu's answer was the same as Zhou Zong's, which made Li Jing feel even more suspicious.

After pondering for a while, he summoned the little eunuch and ordered him to go to the palace gate to get the diary notebook, hoping to find out the number of times Li Yu entered the imperial city.

Of course, there is naturally no record of Li Yu entering the palace without permission in the notepad, which makes Li Jing conclude in his heart that Li Yu was indeed wronged, but who is the person who wronged him, does Li Jing know the way, even if he knows the way, what will happen to him? He didn't even dare to think about it.

Li Jing didn't continue to dwell on this issue, looking at the tired Li Yu, Li Jing softened his heart, thinking that his sixth son, who was injured by drinking every day, and was idle, and it was not a way to go on for a long time, so he frowned.

"Congjia, my father has one thing here, I want you to do it, if you do it well, all punishments will be exempted, if you don't do it well, the two sins will be one."

"The son of the minister receives the order, please ask the father to make it clear."

"The political situation in the north is turbulent, and my father is afraid that there will be problems in border defense, so I want to send you to the riverside to guard and inspect, I don't know if you are willing to go."

The matter that Li Jing said is actually the Yangtze River in the area of Chizhou, with this as the boundary, the gate of the Southern Tang Dynasty is there, once lost, the consequences are unimaginable, and therefore, the construction of fortifications, preparation of military supplies, etc., has become the top priority of the imperial court today.

Listening to Li Jing's words, Li Yu nodded slightly, in fact, he also wanted to leave the capital, this is a place of right and wrong, His Royal Highness's next shot again and again made Li Yu quite uncomfortable, so he was able to avoid for a while, which was naturally good.

Seeing Li Yu nodding in agreement, Li Jing immediately called the eunuch, took a pen and paper, wrote down the edict, and handed it to Li Yu.

"You don't have to quit when you leave, save yourself the trouble, and you can leave today." Li Jing looked at Li Yu lightly, without the slightest expression on his face.

Through this incident, Li Jing has somewhat understood some things, especially now, Li Yu obeyed his own arrangement and agreed to go to the border to patrol the river, which is equivalent to his temporary withdrawal from the dispute between the government and the government, which also makes Li Jing see Li Yu more deeply.

As for Jiang Cairen, Li Jing has already died of the heart of investigation at this moment.

First, the investigation is too much, it will make the city stormy, and it will damage the majesty of the royal family, and secondly, with Li Yu's personality and the contact in the past two days, Li Jing thinks that Li Yu is not a person who is confused to that extent.

As for the person who framed Li Yu, Li Jing didn't want to investigate deeply, if he continued to investigate, he might be even more upset and disappointed than now.

Because of this, Li Jing spared Li Yu and kept him away from the dispute between the government and the government.

When Li Yu left the palace, his clothes were all soaked, in fact, he was not afraid at all, because he knew that once the ruler felt that he had a disobedient heart, or touched some rebel scales, the result was self-evident, and he would inevitably be wiped out in this court and the kingdom.
