"Your Highness, please stay." Pei Hongxu hurried out of the gate of Dali Temple, and when he saw that Li Zhen was about to board the carriage, he didn't care much about etiquette, so he hurriedly shouted, and his voice was full of anxiety.

"Is there something wrong with Pei Shaoqing looking for this king?" Li Zhen heard Pei Hongxu's shout, stopped boarding the car, turned around, looked at Pei Hongxu who was walking quickly with a flat face, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, the tone was still calm, but the displeasure inside was clearly discerning.

Although Pei Hongxu had heard the quarrel from the old grandson's office before, and vaguely guessed that the old grandson must have had an unpleasant quarrel with Li Zhen for the case in the East Palace, but after all, he didn't know the truth, and he came forward this time with only one intention, that is, to please Li Zhen. ”

Pei Hongxu's gesture Li Zhen knew it in his heart, and he would not give him a look, so he muttered slightly: "Pei Shaoqing, do you know where the file of the Xiangzhou military food case is now?" ”

"Your Highness, this case is the chief trial of Xiao Zhongshu, and all the files are in Xiao Zhongshu's hands, but you have to go down to the official to go on a trip?" Pei Hongxu cautiously looked at Li Zhen's face and hurriedly replied.

"Well, it's okay, let's go with this king, get in the car." Li Zhen made a contemplative look and thought for a while, then glanced at Pei Hongxu and said calmly.

Pei Hongxu was originally just expecting to have a conversation with Li Zhen, to get close, and to build a step for Li Zhen to join Li Zhen in the future, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to invite him to go with him in public, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he was so excited that he trembled for a while, and finally managed to stabilize his mind, bowed down, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and said: "Your Majesty obeys the order, Your Highness, please first." ”

The dead Li Zhi has no people in the court, that is, three or two kittens, for Li Zhen's plan to win the heir, in fact, it is not of great use, if from the perspective of the general trend of the court, it is not of much significance to extend an olive branch to the officials of the former prince's line, however, this is a gesture, showing that Li Zhen is broad-minded and can have the elegance of all rivers, it can be said that the symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual effect, it is a superficial effort, but it is something that must be done. Seeing Pei Hongxu say this, Li Zhen didn't care about his behavior, so he smiled, didn't say anything more, turned around and got into the carriage, Pei Hongxu saw this, but swallowed his saliva vigorously, and followed the carriage in a little hurry, although his face was calm, but the joy in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Your Highness, Lord Sun's temper is stubborn, but his heart is good, if there is any offense, please ask Your Highness to do more." After the carriage went out for a while, Pei Hongxu saw that Li Zhen never spoke, and said a word cautiously and tentatively.

"This king knows it in his heart, and there is no need to say much about this." Li Zhen didn't seem to want to talk about this matter, waved his hand to interrupt Pei Hongxu's words, and then changed the conversation, and said suddenly: "This king has asked for a holy decree, and intends to start trying the Xiangzhou case in the next few days, Pei Shaoqing, as an official of Dali Temple, has tried this case before, and Pei Shaoqing still needs to take more responsibility for this matter, my father is very concerned about this case, don't go wrong, otherwise you and I are afraid that we will not be able to explain it." ”

"This nature, this nature, His Highness has a place to get the lower officials, it is the honor of the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely serve His Royal Highness, please rest assured Your Highness." Pei Hongxu said this cleverly, and climbed up with Li Zhen's words, and took the opportunity to show his loyalty, which was quite numb.

Hehe, what kind of bird is really a person, a young slave is weak, and the person he uses is very unscrupulous, this person is really useless! Li Zhen made a conclusion to Pei Hongxu in her heart, but her face was full of appreciation: "I can get Pei Shaoqing's help, and I am fortunate to be the king, so please ask Pei Shaoqing for this matter." ”

"Yes, the lower officials will do their best and never give up." Seeing that the smile on Li Zhen's face was very amiable, Pei Hongxu was very excited, and the corners of his mouth trembled for a while, and then he replied in a loud voice.

What does it mean to know the times as a handsome, this is it! Seeing that Pei Hongxu was so excited, Li Zhen secretly laughed in her heart, and just wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but heard the voice of the eagle outside the carriage: "Your Highness, Chengtianmen has arrived." ”

"Hmm." Li Zhen replied, glanced at Pei Hongxu with a smile and said, "Pei Shaoqing and go with this king to see Lord Xiao." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, please first." Pei Hongxu saw that Li Zhen had already gotten up, and hurriedly bowed down and answered, Li Zhen nodded, without any more politeness, he got out of the carriage and strode towards Chengtianmen.

Zhongshu Province, also known as Xitai, Fengge, is located in the palace of Zhongshu Province, in the west side of the Taiji Palace, and the province of Menxia, Shangshu Province together called the three provinces, the same as the central administrative collection, according to the system, every major event should be decided by the province of Zhongshu, through the province of the door of the audit, approved by the emperor, and then handed over to the province of Shangshu for implementation, but perhaps Li Shimin in the dragon when he had been the order of Shangshu, since Zhenguan, the authority of the province of Shangshu is increasingly heavy, and the province of the book is becoming more and more depressed, although the province of Zhongshu is still known as the decision-making body, But in fact, it has long been reduced to a vassal of the emperor's draft edict, quite similar to the work of the Hanlin Academy in later generations, of course, Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Ling and Zhongshu Sheren are still the treatment of the prime minister, you can participate in political affairs, but it is just a matter of knowledge, and there is no actual decision-making power, especially since Xiao Yu took office in Zhongshu Order, Zhongshu Province has been extremely unbearable - many of Li Shimin's edicts have not been taken from Zhongshu Province, and they were directly sent to Menxia Province, so it is not surprising that Zhongshu Province is deserted, this is not, It's almost noon, and there is not much popularity in Manzhong Book Province, even Xiao Yu, the Chinese book order, is idle and panicked, sitting on the chair with an outdated official document, looking at it without a glance, that is, just killing time, God knows if he has seen it.

"Xiao Zhongshu, His Royal Highness King Yue has arrived outside the door, saying that he is here to ask to see you, I don't know ......" Just when Comrade Xiao was drowsy, a director of Zhongshu Province hurriedly entered and reported in a low voice.

"Huh?" Xiao Yu sighed lightly, put down the official document in his hand, frowned, looked at the principal and said, "Then please." ”

"Ah, yes." When the chief saw Comrade Lao Xiao say please, he sat upright and did not move, knowing that Comrade Lao Xiao's "prime minister's illness" had committed it again, and this was to ask Li Zhen to come in by himself, and he was sweating when he boarded, but he was afraid of Comrade Xiao's stinky temper, so he didn't dare to persuade him, so he had to respond embarrassedly and asked Li Zhen not to mention it.

Li Zhen has long known that this old Xiao Tou has a strong temper, and he doesn't say anything about it, and he loves to put the prime minister's shelf, and he heard that Comrade Xiao was waiting in the office, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't care very much, and he didn't say anything more, and he smiled and was accompanied by a group of officials from Zhongshu Province to Lao Xiaotou's office, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Comrade Lao Xiao was burying his head in the official room, and he was unconsciously angry and funny, but he was not rude, and he walked over, and he politely bowed his hand and said: " Xiao Wang has seen Xiao Zhongshu. ”

Xiao Yu had already heard the movement of Li Zhen's arrival, but he still sat upright until Li Zhen saluted, and then Comrade Xiao pretended to have just learned of Li Zhen's arrival, raised his head, and said with a solemn face: "Your Highness has arrived, the old man has missed the distance, and please forgive the sin, well, the old man still has some official documents to deal with here, Your Highness, please take care of one or two." ”

Damn, this Zhongshu province has become a place to raise sparrows, how can there be a to be busy, this guy must be sick again! How could Li Zhen not know that Comrade Xiao was deliberately giving himself a dismount, and the unhappiness in his heart was a little more, but he didn't have a seizure, he just said with a smile: "Cheng, Xiao Zhongshu has something to deal with, Xiao Wang will wait first." As soon as he finished speaking, he led Pei Hongxu to a few chairs in the corner of the wall, sat down with a smile, and did not speak, calmly looking around at Comrade Xiao's office.

"Let Your Highness wait for a long time, the old man's fault." Xiao Yu rubbed for a while, and finally finished his "official business", then he got up, walked in four directions unhurriedly, and said a word without saltiness.

"Where, where, Xiao Wang took the liberty to come to disturb, and he also looked at Xiao Zhongshu Haihan." Li Zhen didn't show the slightest anger at being snubbed, arched her hands with a smile, and replied.

"Hmm." Seeing Li Zhen so humble, Xiao Yu's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he no longer put up a fight, and after sitting down, he said in an old-fashioned manner: "Your Highness is so anxious to find the old man, but is there something important?" ”

Li Zhen arched his hand, and said very humbly: "There is just one thing to bother Xiao Lao, well, here's the thing, my father is quite concerned about the unfinished Xiangzhou case, and specially ordered Xiao Wang to quickly try the case, although Xiao Wang is not able to catch it, he has to act as ordered, ashamed, ashamed, I heard that the files of this case are in the hands of Xiao Lao, and Xiao Wang came to ask for it with a shy face. ”

The previous Xiangzhou case was a job that Comrade Xiao had finally gotten through, and he was trying to get it hard, but he was interrupted by the death of the prince, and he was thinking about the last chapter, so as to continue to hear the case, and it was more or less to find something to do for himself, but he was not happy to hear Li Zhen say this, but he was not happy, and after thinking about it, he said with a calm face: "Since it is Your Majesty's will, then please ask Your Highness to come and adjust the file according to the holy decree." ”

Damn, this dead old man, it's really a smelly and hard stone in the pit, no wonder the old man never treats him very much, hehe, if it weren't for this guy's good background, it would be strange to be the prime minister! Li Zhen despised Comrade Xiao fiercely in her heart, but she still smiled amiably on her face, and arched her hand and said: "Father just gave an oracle, if you want a holy decree, I am afraid it will be delayed, old Xiao, you can see ......"

Comrade Lao Xiao actually admired Li Zhen's ability very much, but he didn't want to compromise on this, so he frowned and said: "Your Highness must know that the imperial court has its own system, and everything must be done according to the system. ”

Yes, there is no way, Li Zhen already knew that this old man was difficult, and seeing that Comrade Lao Xiao had moved out of the system, in addition to smiling bitterly, he really didn't know what to say, and said with a deep sigh: "In this case, Xiao Wang won't bother much, Rong Xiaowang will come again after asking for a decree." ”

"Well, His Royal Highness can understand the general situation, the old man admires it, His Royal Highness is busy, and the old man will not delay Yuer." Xiao Yu was very satisfied when she saw that Li Zhen was so easy to speak, and a smile appeared on her old face, and she sent Li Zhen to the door of the office.

I didn't know what the situation was in Dali Temple before, but now I hit a wall here with Comrade Lao Xiao, which made Pei Hongxu, who was thinking in front of Li Zhen, unable to hold his breath anymore, and just walked out of Zhongshu Province, Pei Hongxu stuck to Li Zhen's side and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, this case, this case ......?"

"Oh, it's okay, just wait for this king to go and ask for the decree first, and then do it, with Lao Pei Shaoqing to accompany him, so let's wait for the news, how about this king immediately send someone to invite him?" Li Zhen didn't seem to be affected by the successive encounters at all, and replied with a smile.

"That's good, that's good, the lower officials are waiting for news from His Highness, farewell, farewell." As soon as Pei Hongxu heard that Li Zhen's words had the meaning of expelling guests, he didn't dare to stay any longer, bowed down, said a few words politely, and respectfully stepped aside, Li Zhen didn't pay much attention to it, flicked his big sleeves, went straight out of the palace, got into the carriage, and went to his palace......

Good things don't go out, bad things can often spread thousands of miles - Li Zhen was frustrated twice in Dali Temple and Zhongshu Province today, and it was just a small thing, but because Li Zhen's identity was there, such a small thing was naturally not small, no, it was less than half a day, and all parties who had paid attention to Li Zhen's every move immediately knew it, so all parties began to brew articles around today's events.

The sky gradually darkened, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and it was already past the time for dinner, but Li Ke, the king of Wu, did not have a trace of appetite, and paced around the room with a solemn face, even if he was sweating because of this, he ignored it, and the pensive Li Ke even accidentally broke a few bushes of beard under his chin, but he didn't think through it because of this, and a question always lingered in his heart - what did Li Zhen want to do?

Hit Lee Tae? There is such a possibility, but it seems to be too direct, this is not quite like Li Zhen's usual methods! Establish prestige and grab credit? It's not quite like that, as far as Li Zhen's current prestige in the court is concerned, it seems that there is no need for such a Xiangzhou military ration case as a step forward. Will you subdue Li Zhi's forces? It seems to be, but the problem is that Li Zhi doesn't have much power in the first place, why do he need to operate it through such a trial, I don't understand, Li Ke has a headache when he thinks about it, and he still can't think of what Li Zhen's intention is to come to such a hand coldly, in desperation, he had to set his eyes on Ye Ling, who always lowered his head and closed his eyes in contemplation, his mouth opened, but at the bottom, he was still afraid of disturbing Ye Ling's train of thought, so he had to close his mouth again and sit on the chair in distress.

"Is Your Highness upset?" Ye Ling, who had always closed his eyes, stopped when he heard the sound of Li Ke walking, immediately opened his eyes, picked up the feather fan on a few pieces, shook it gently, and asked with an indifferent smile.

As soon as Li Ke saw Ye Ling open his eyes, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly smiled: "Song Cheng has the intention to make fun of this king, I think he has an idea, and how about listening to it?" ”

"Whatever you can think of, Your Highness should have thought of it too, but Your Highness doesn't dare to be confident." Ye Ling shook the feather fan in a chic manner and replied with a smile.

"Huh? Songcheng means ......" When Li Ke heard it, he was stunned and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, this is a strategy to fight cattle across the mountain, it is His Royal Highness the King of Wei, but the eyes are staring at the East Palace." Ye Ling stood up, paced a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then continued: "Today, His Royal Highness King Yue has full wings, but the one who can match is still His Royal Highness King Wei, if you don't knock His Royal Highness King Wei to the ground, how can His Royal Highness King Yue sit on Diaoyutai?" Taking advantage of the Xiangzhou military rations case to completely overthrow Liu Xun, and by the way, rectifying the criminal department, you can also take the opportunity to subdue the former prince's men and horses, so why not care? ”

"Well, this makes sense, but ......" Li Ke had thought about the benefits that Li Zhen could get from the trial, but he was still unsure in his heart, at this time, when he heard Ye Ling say so surely, he believed it a little more, but he still had some doubts, and he always felt that something seemed to be missing here, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

Ye Ling saw Li Ke frowning, and immediately laughed, laughing so much that Li Ke was full of confusion, looking at Ye Ling indifferently, although he didn't speak, but his eyes were full of doubtful inquiry. Seeing this, Ye Ling stopped laughing, and said leisurely: "The trial of the Xiangzhou military ration case is false, and the trial of the East Palace case is true, if the criminal department is not fair, what will His Royal Highness King Yue take to try the case of the East Palace?" ”

"Yes, it should be so, hey, the mystery of the East Palace is not clear for a day, and this East Palace has to be suspended for a day, Xiaoba is impatient!" Li Ke stroked his forehead, and suddenly agreed, but suddenly stopped, got up, and after pacing a few steps, a pair of eyes sparkled at Ye Ling and said, "This king can't follow Xiaoba's wishes, does Songcheng have a plan?" ”

Ye Ling slowly sat down, shook his feather fan, and said unhurriedly: "The Xiangzhou case must be tried, and Liu Xun must also fall, but the Criminal Department can't let His Royal Highness King Yue take over." ”

"Huh? Why is that? Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly.

Ye Ling smiled bitterly, and said with a hint of melancholy: "Your Royal Highness has been running a place in Tanzhou for more than two years, doing your best, and you have really made a career, but His Royal Highness King Wei has also done a good job in Junzhou, but unfortunately His Royal Highness King Yue has done too well, saying that there are no ancients before, no one after him, I am afraid that it is a little too much, saying that it is my dynasty, but it is true, if it is the prince at this time, it must belong to His Royal Highness King Yue, and at this moment, it is only right to delay and wait for change, but even if it is delayed, even if things change, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is only afraid that he is still in front of His Royal Highness, and only by weakening the momentum of His Royal Highness the King of Wei and retaining some of his strength can he be used as a helper, otherwise, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of putting the cart before the horse, and the criminal department is the key to it, what does His Highness think? ”

Li Ke was originally a clever person, and after hearing it, he understood the trick, nodded and said: "Yes, it should be like this, but you have to be taboo when you throw rats, and there must be a measure in this matter." ”

"Your Highness's words are to the point, if the expectation is not bad, His Royal Highness the King of Wei should also figure it out, sacrificing Liu Xun is the best choice His Royal Highness King Wei can make, and the key to it is one person." Ye Ling smiled and sold a pass.

"Oh? It's him? Okay, this king might as well join in the fun! Li Ke paced back and forth a few steps, rolled his eyes, and suddenly burst out laughing, and the joyful laughter rushed out of the spacious study and rippled in the backyard......
