Chapter Forty-Eight: Forcing People to Follow
"I don't know how many lifetimes of sin I gave birth to you as a rebel!" Taiwei Li scolded angrily.
Li Dousheng was scolded, as if he was used to it, he didn't think so, and he didn't talk back.
One of the attendants rushed into the house, and he gasped for breath and stood in front of Captain Li.
Seeing this, Taiwei Li scolded: "What kind of fart are you doing in a hurry!"
The attendant hurriedly said, "Master, the king has come up!"
"What?!" Li Dousheng and Li Taiwei said in unison, both in disbelief.
Mrs. Li hurriedly threw down the official document in his hand to make sure that he had heard correctly, and asked again: "Do you say it again?"
The attendant repeated very sincerely, "The king has come!"
Li Dousheng said excitedly when he heard this: "Dad, I also want to meet the king! I have never met the king!"
"Nonsense!" said Mrs. Li when he heard this.
But he hurriedly got up his chair and walked out the door. Although he scolded Li Dousheng like this, he acquiesced to Li Dousheng following him.
Inside the living room.
Ying Zheng was dressed in a blue and white brocade robe, and sat on the main seat with a leisurely demeanor. Yusang had a long sword hanging from his waist and stood aside very seriously.
Two attendants trembled and served a pot of warm tea to Yingzheng, and silently retreated to the side.
How could the king suddenly drive their Taiwei Mansion, they were naturally frightened about serving the king.
Ying Zheng silently picked up the teacup, lifted the teacup to cool it gently, and took a sip.
At this time, Taiwei Li and Li Dousheng had just entered the living room, and the two bowed their heads and saluted Yingzheng and said, "See the king." ”
Ying Zheng raised his eyes coldly when he heard this, and after glancing at the two of them, his eyes were locked on Li Dousheng, who was bowing his head.
Ying Zheng pretended to laugh, and said in general: "Don't be formal, Master Li and Master Li hurry up and take a seat." ”
"No. The two of them answered, and got up.
That Li Dousheng raised his eyes and looked at Yingzheng, and his face was shocked for a moment, and he was stunned in place.
Recalling the words and face of the cold man that day, he instantly corresponded to the king on the throne.
Seeing him like this, Taiwei Li was a little displeased, pulled him to sit in his seat, and scolded softly: "What are you doing, what are you doing?" ”
Li Dousheng came back to his senses, but his face was a little frightened, and he lowered his head with dodgy eyes.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile secretly, and he said coldly: "Master Li, there is no special meaning in being alone in this Taiwei Mansion today. It's just that I'm lonely all day long, and I came to visit Master Li. ”
When Taiwei Li heard this, he was flattered and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the king's love." ”
Seeing this, Ying Zheng smiled and said tentatively: "I know that Master Li has a very good relationship with my middle father. I don't know if Gu has a chance to make friends with Master Li. ”
When Taiwei Li heard this, he guessed half of the meaning in Ying Zheng's words.
Although he didn't want to show it in his heart, he flattered: "The king is the king, and the subordinates will naturally serve the king well." How to make a good friend. ”
Hearing this, Yingzheng knew what he meant. It's just that they don't want to be on his side.
Ying Zheng's gaze drifted to Li Dousheng, who was sitting on the seat with his head bowed, and he changed his words and said, "Master Li, why do you think that Li Gongzi is very familiar. ”
Hearing this, Li Dousheng instantly began to fidget, and his expression became flustered.
Taiwei Li didn't know why, so he only said: "This should be the first time the dog has met the king, how can it be familiar." ”
Ying Zheng snorted lightly, stroked his forehead, pretended to think, and then said quietly: "Let Gu think about it, when did you meet Li Gongzi." Ying Zheng paused for a while, and said: "It seems that in front of the drunken Huan Building, I had a relationship with Li Gongzi." ”
Hearing this, Li Dousheng instantly broke out in a cold sweat on his face, his body trembled, and he knelt on the ground without saying anything.
He said in a trembling voice: "The king spared his life! It was the villain who offended the king that day with no eyes and no beads!"
When Taiwei Li heard this, his face was frightened.
The king...... but he was the one he was going to assassinate that day.
Seeing this, he also hurriedly knelt on the ground. When the surrounding servants saw this, they all knelt down with their brushes.
Ying Zheng looked at the scene in front of him silently, and said coldly: "That day, Gu and Chang'an Jun and General Wang were bored, but I want to thank Li Gongzi for the big gift, so that we can move our tibia more and relieve our leisure." ”
Hearing this, Taiwei Li's hands trembled.
This assassination of the king is a great crime of the nine clans. Now there are Chang'an Jun and General Wang, I am afraid that they will dig up the grave and whip the corpse after their death in order to be responsible.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li became angry.
What kind of rebel he raised!
When Li Dousheng heard this, he trembled even more, he himself knew what kind of serious crime he had committed, and he hurriedly shouted: "The king spares his life, the king spares his life!"
In turn, a heavy slap from Captain Li fell on Li Dousheng's face, as if he was looking at Ying Zheng.
Li Dousheng said angrily: "Your Majesty, it is the criminal minister who has no way to discipline him! Only the son of the criminal minister is allowed to commit such a terrible disaster!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly, took another sip of tea, and said coldly: "Your Excellency is also a high-ranking minister in the court, so naturally you are familiar with the rules and regulations, so let's go according to the rules." Needless to say, Lonely. ”
When Taiwei Li heard this, his face was already dark, and he hurriedly said: "The king spares his life, he is the son of a criminal minister who is confused for a while!"
Ying Zheng got up and turned a deaf ear to Mrs. Li's words.
Yusang seemed to be whispering to Yingzheng on the side, but everyone could hear it.
He said: "Your Majesty, the secret guards have now been arranged to surround the Taiwei Mansion. ”
Ying Zheng nodded.
Hearing this, everyone kneeling panicked when they heard this, and hurriedly cried and shouted: "The king spares his life!"
Li Dousheng hurriedly knelt and walked on his knees to Yingzheng's feet, pulling Yingzheng's trouser legs and begging for mercy.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng silently glanced at Li Dousheng, and resolutely raised his steps to leave.
Yusang followed.
Seeing this, Taiwei Li blurted out in a hurry: "Your Majesty, if you can spare the family of the criminal minister! The criminal is willing to swear allegiance to the king!
The king is just trying to force people to admit it, and Taiwei Li has been in the government and the opposition for many years, so how can he not know the meaning. But it's just a change of follower, what's more important than life.
When the servants heard this, they stopped crying.
Li Dousheng looked at Captain Li in a daze.
Little did he know that he was just a vital pawn.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng slowly stopped, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
That's what he wants. Only when the prey voluntarily takes the bait can he really control it in his hands.
Ying Zheng turned around slowly, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Lord Li is going to let you go alone?"
When Taiwei Li heard this, as if he had hope, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister can personally set up the evidence of the child's crime, and hand it over to the king for safekeeping!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he pretended to hesitate, and then said: "In this way, it is also a method." He paused, and then said, "On top of this, there is one more condition for Lonely. ”
Captain Li asked, "What conditions?"
Ying Zhengqing said coldly: "I can't talk about the conditions, but I can't see that Li Gongzi is idle all day long, giving gifts everywhere." Why don't you find something to do for him? In the future, Li Gongzi will go to the palace to serve as a guard. ”
The servants were shocked when they heard this.
Li Dousheng was surprised and delighted when he heard this, he made a mistake, but it seemed that he had made an official fortune.
Captain Li was worried when he heard this.
The captain of the guard, led by the guard, is responsible for guarding the palace gate and patrolling the night. Those guards will only obey the orders of the Lang Zhong in front of them. Taiwei Li looked at Yusang, who looked indifferent in front of him.
What was given to him was nothing more than a false position. The king just wanted to put him in the palace so that he could be controlled. If you really do something against yourself. At any moment, he would die under the swords of those guards. It's like a free prisoner.
Seeing that Li Taiwei was hesitating, Li Dousheng was busy shouting at Li Taiwei on the side: "Dad, what are you hesitating about!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Li clenched his fists and agreed.
He said, "Listen to the king's words." ”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled coldly and wrote lightly: "In this case, please get up and make a foundation." ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, he said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he patted his pants and got up, turned around and called his subordinates to prepare pen and ink.
Ying Zheng took a step and sat back on the throne to wait.
Li Dousheng was still kneeling in place, but he was surprised in his heart.
What an official position he has to show off to his brothers!
A blank bamboo slip is placed on the table in the living room. After the pen and ink came up, Li Taiwei hurriedly set up a serious note on the bamboo slips, and when the last word fell, Li Taiwei took the pen and stamped it at the end with his official seal. Immediately, he politely handed the bamboo slip he had just written to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took it calmly, glanced at it casually, and handed it to Yusang.
Ying Zheng stood up and said coldly: "In this way, today's business will end here." Gu Wei will not hold the Taiwei Mansion responsible. Now I'm going back first. Master Li doesn't have to send it off. ”
After finishing speaking, Yingzheng walked away, and Yusang followed behind.
When Taiwei Li heard this, he exhaled comfortably. Then he smiled at Ying Zheng and said, "The king walks slowly!"
Seeing this, the slaves and maids hurriedly shouted, "Congratulations to the king." ”
Li Dousheng was still kneeling on the ground, with an excited look on his face, and said, "Dad! Now, I have become an official!"
Hearing Li Dousheng's voice, Taiwei Li's face immediately sank. He turned around and gave Li Dousheng a kick.
He had a fire in his stomach right now.
He scolded angrily: "You dog! Provoke right and wrong all day long! Now you really want to provoke our whole family into it, and you are satisfied!"
Li Dousheng was kicked to the ground and defended aggrievedly: "Isn't the king giving me an official position now!
Lieutenant Li was furious and wanted to give him another kick.
Li Doosheng hurriedly blocked with his hands.
Lieutenant Li finally restrained his arrogance, and he withdrew the foot he was about to lift. Instead, he showed a look of hatred for iron and steel, and left the living room angrily.
