Chapter 35: Dilemma
Now for Pan Haoli, the most important thing is, of course, to confirm Xue Chongxun's identity. It is also possible to confirm it with a seal letter, because according to Tang law, privately engraved a seal letter is a big crime to kill the head and implicate the whole family, and usually no one wants to do such a thing...... However, as Xue Chongxun said, the most effective way is to confirm through GuΓ² Assassin Shi Li Shouli that they already knew each other, and everything was clear when they met.
Pan Haoli was more hesitant, should he discuss this matter with a few core colleagues first?
There are four main core bureaucrats around Youzhou Thorn History: the bearded Youzhou Governor Shi Pan Haoli, the Youzhou Sima Yuan Jiazuo, who has always been moderate and kind, and Yuan Qianyao, who has joined the army...... The other is the judge Liu Kui, who is recognized as a traitorous villain, and other colleagues with a good reputation usually don't like him. He is Li Shouli's son-in-law, and he is also destined to be a cuckold master, Li Shouli has a group of wives and concubines, and most of the daughters he raised are unruly, debauched and unchaste, and it is difficult to marry his daughter without being a cuckold, but Liu Kui doesn't seem to care.
Pan Haoli thought for a while, but in the end he didn't find anyone else, and went to see Li Shouli alone. At this time, Li Shouli had just received two beauties from his son-in-law Liu Kui, who were playing with women, and suddenly heard that Pan Haoli was asking to see him, and his scalp suddenly became numb, thinking that Pan Haoli was here to persuade him not to indulge in lust.
But Li Shouli understood very well in his heart that the bureaucrats in his hands were all capable people, and he had to rely on them for many things, so he was usually very good to them. He had no choice but to lift his pants and go to the living room to see Pan Haoli.
Today, Pan Haoli is very strange, he didn't blow his beard and stare at him as soon as he usually admonished, and he poured his head and face with a righteous and awe-inspiring truth, but it was a rare calm, although he looked preoccupied between his eyebrows.
Pan Haoli motioned for Li Shouli to retreat left and right, and then told Xue Chongxun about it. Li Shouli was also shocked, and the teacup in his hand was almost unstable......
Li Shouli took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, unable to speak for a long time. Princess Taiping's people are looking for him, which means that something big is going to happen to Jingshi? It is even more unfortunate that it means that he Li Shouli can't stay out of the matter.
Seeing that Thorn Shi's reaction was so fast, Pan Haoli was also a little strange, a person who was addicted to sensuality, his sense of smell and reaction could be so fast, it was indeed a little strange. However, Pan Haoli didn't think much about it, and suddenly heard a "whoosh" shaking of the branches outside the door, and couldn't help sighing: "The rain is coming, and the wind ...... first."
"Yuan Sima (Yuan Jiazuo): Do they know?" Li Shouli asked.
Pan Haoli deliberately said lightly: "Whether that person is really Wei Guogong has not yet been confirmed, so I will tell the envoy first about this matter, so as not to let too many people know and it will be easy to leak." β
Li Shouli was relieved when he heard this, Pan Haoli is a person who is eager for quick success and quick profit in his bones, and he is greedy for merit. Li Shouli didn't show it, asked about his appearance again, recalled it, and immediately determined that eight or nine were not far from ten, most likely it was Xue Chongxun.
"I have to call Yuan Sima and the others to come together and discuss carefully." Li Shouli said.
So he sent someone to the yamen to call the other henchmen into the mansion together, and the four of them worked together, but his son-in-law Liu Kui was not among the summonses, and it was nonsense to find Liu Kui on business...... However, the other three officials are still at a good level, they must be talented and talented, and they must be resourceful and resourceful.
Princess Taiping sent someone to come to the door, the shape was already very obvious, the omen appeared, and a new round of competition for the center of power had gradually begun...... For the palace coup, Li Shouli is not surprised, and there have been more than ten coups in Daming Palace over the years.
Li Shouli's situation is also obvious: either join the ranks of Princess Taiping, and if you succeed, you will be rich and noble to a higher level, as for whether the real power is in your hands, it doesn't matter, isn't Li Dan the emperor twice before and after; If Taiping fails, there is nothing to say, and the game is over......
Either the person who does not bird Princess Taiping is also at risk, if Princess Taiping succeeds, he will naturally have no good fruit to eat; Even before the battle is clear, Li Shouli will be calculated by the Taiping to prevent him from fighting back.
At this time, even Yuan Jiazuo, who has always been indisputable, said: "Now, out of desperation, you have to choose a position." β
Li Shouli frowned, nodded and said, "I was living well in Youzhou, but I didn't expect to come to the door...... What do you think, what should I do? β
Yuan Jiazuo analyzed: "If you want to pretend not to know, it is obviously impossible to stay out of the matter; can not expose Princess Taiping's intentions, thankless things; But if you choose Princess Taiping, I think the odds of winning are very low, and it is impossible for the prince to be restrained, not to mention that he is justified, even if he reaches that step (coup d'Γ©tat), being famous can make it easier for the prince to make up his mind to grasp the opportunity...... Maybe betting the treasure on the crown prince will stabilize a little ......"
Pan Dabeard immediately glared when he heard this: "What kind of bad idea is this?" Bet on the prince, even if others become successful, what benefits can we get, people don't need to make the king at all, what can the king do for them? If it doesn't work out, will Princess Taiping let us go? β
Yuan Qianyao, who had not spoken all the time, said coldly: "Yu Liben! Which side of the people is it? You can't leave him alone! So that the king has the status of the superior, Taiping is clear, can the prince not be clear? If Yu Li was originally the prince's person, what did it mean, it means that the prince was already on guard against the envoy, so he made Yu Li originally spy on Youzhou...... As long as the crown prince succeeds, the prince will definitely die without a place to be buried! β
Everyone looked at each other, all speechless, this Yu Liben's identity is really weird, what did he do as a eunuch who came to Youzhou?
Yuan Jiazuo gently reminded: "Is it possible that Yu Liben is a peaceful person, and deliberately acted like this to put pressure on us?" β
Pan Dabeard sneered: "Only Brother Yuan can come up with such an idea, and if it is twisted and turned, others will really think about it, and it is not too troublesome." β
Yuan Jiazuo thought about it, if Princess Taiping really used Yu Liben to play such a play, it would indeed be a bit ridiculous, and this technique was too weird and out of the way, and it was unlikely, so he had to say: "So that Jun has nothing to do on weekdays, invite Yu Liben to drink a few more drinks, and try to be tempted." β
The bureaucrats were talking nonsense, and Li Shouli was in deep thought, and he didn't know what he was thinking, as if he was distracted. Finally he asked, "What do you say?" β
Yuan Jiazuo said more cautiously: "It's better to see Wei Guogong in a few days, don't be in a hurry." β
If the people above see Li Shouli's bird-like appearance, it is estimated that most of them will be disdainful, then if something happens, it is not the instigation of these bureaucrats, or what is the reason? . G
