Chapter 236: Liu Ruolan
Chapter 236: Liu Ruolan
After listening to Li Guoguang's investigation report, Liu Di did not have any change in demeanor, only glanced at Li Guoguang indifferently, and then shook his hand casually, and let Li Guoguang retreat, as for Liu Ruolan's collaborator, the first person Liu Di wanted to "greet" was Jiang Zhong.
"Come on, pass on Jiang Zhong."
Soon, Jiang Zhong, who was thinking of countermeasures at home, asked Liu Di to call him to the imperial study.
"Aiqing, do you know why I called you over?"
Jiang Zhong arched his hand and said: "A few days ago, Lord Li asked someone to give me a letter, presumably His Majesty summoned the ministers, and he wanted to ask about Liu Ruolan, right?" ”。
Liu Di bowed his head slightly, and said: "Sure enough, it is the prime minister, and I guessed what I wanted to say at once, since this is the case, the prime minister might as well explain Liu Ruolan's matter."
Jiang Zhong straightened up slightly, frowned and said: "Your Majesty knows, Ling'er is my biological daughter, and she is also the daughter of the house's master's mother, marrying her to Nanzhao has already caused Ling'er to be very dissatisfied, I go to contact Ling'er myself, she may not respond, let alone one of my concubines?" ”。
"So you want to exonerate Liu Ruolan?"
Jiang Zhong shook his head slightly, "The minister doesn't want to exonerate Liu Ruolan, the minister is worried, someone wants to take this opportunity to fool the emperor, and miss the opportunity to really catch Ling'er."
Jiang Zhong's words were sonorous, and every sentence was very powerful, as if he didn't attach much importance to Liu Ling'er's own safety, but had the momentum to give up on the cold imperial power.
Liu Di looked at Jiang Zhong quietly, with a seemingly nonchalant smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded slowly, and said: "Aiqing's appearance of serving the country and her family really makes me admire, but I don't know, what role Ling'er is in the eyes of the prime minister, is it a daughter?" Or an outcast? ”。
Jiang Zhong's heart ached, his brain swelled, and he couldn't understand what Liu Di meant by what he said at this time, so he frowned and looked at Liu Di, but saw Liu Di sitting on a high stool with a calm appearance, holding his chin and squinting, like a wolf ready to prey at any time.
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
"Literally, I just want you to explain, what do you think about Liu Ling'er and Qin Nanzhao at the beginning, and now she is being taken back to the palace by me?"
Jiang Zhong was stunned, and quickly speculated about Liu Di's thoughts in his heart, you must know that Liu Di is the most irritable emperor in the Tianpu Dynasty, if he is a little careless, he may touch his bad head, at that time, no matter how he views Liu Ling'er's relationship with himself, if he causes trouble for the family, it will be more than worth the loss.
"Your Majesty, Ling'er is the daughter of the minister, and the minister naturally treats Ling'er as an ordinary daughter."
Liu Di slowly retracted his gaze and pinched the book in his hand, "Since you think Ling'er is your daughter, why didn't you take the initiative to look at her or intercede for her after I said that she had taken back the Tianpu for so long?" ”。
"Because, she is a person valued by the emperor, and the minister knows that she will not be in any danger."
"Really? So you mean, if it's not someone I value, I'll dispose of it at will, right? ”
Jiang Zhong suddenly understood what Liu Di meant, he was knocking on himself to come over to intercede for Liu Ruolan, but this matter was clearly what he asked him to come over, what did he want to do, Jiang Zhong glanced at Liu Di quickly, and said: "The minister naturally doesn't dare to think so, my emperor naturally has his own judgment, where is the turn of others to make irresponsible remarks."
Liu Di whispered, "I think your courage is not small."
Jiang Zhong took advantage of the situation to kneel on the ground, bowed his head and said, "The minister categorically does not dare to speculate on the meaning of the saint like this."
Liu Di looked at Jiang Zhong quietly for a while, then waved his hand indifferently and said, "That's it, let's get back to the point, what do you think of Liu Ruolan's matter?" ”。
Jiang Zhong was shocked, hasn't this question been discussed with the emperor, and he has also given his own analysis, why is the emperor still struggling with this? Don't...... Jiang Zhong knew that the co-author was the emperor's answer that he was not satisfied with, but ...... What would be the right answer?
Jiang Zhong gritted his teeth and simply said: "Emperor Qi, regarding Liu Ruolan's matter, the minister thinks that the saint has his own decision, and how the saint decides, the minister will decide, and there is no other word."
Liu Di snorted slightly, "I don't bother to go around with you, so I'll tell you directly, I have seen the evidence presented by Master Li just now, it is indeed something that only the Nanzhao royal family has, how do you think Liu Ruolan was framed to get the royal family's things, or do you think Li Guoguang has the ability to contact the Nanzhao royal family?" ”。
Speaking of this, Jiang Zhong completely understood Liu Di's intentions, "Your Majesty, could it be that the person who designed it is...... Ling'er? ”。
Liu Di glanced at Jiang Zhong with a little satisfaction, and then said, "So, I called you over, do you know what's the use?" ”。
Jiang Zhong was at a loss again, so he shook his head suspiciously.
Liu Di said: "I want you to get in touch with Ling'er, it's best to let her go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, do you know what it means?" ”。
Jiang Zhong nodded hesitantly, and said slowly: "The minister probably understands what the emperor means, but this Liu Ruolan ......."
Liu Di waved his hand casually, "Whatever you do, I only need Ling'er alone."
After receiving Liu Di's instructions, Jiang Zhong immediately retreated and went straight to Li Guoguang's mansion.
"Let Liu Ruolan go."
Li Guoguang chuckled disappreciatively, his face was full of mockery, and said, "Release people? Or the most potent suspect? The prime minister's brain show is funny, right? ”。
Jiang Zhong turned sideways slightly, Rao is not bothered to look at Li Guoguang, "I received the emperor's order, do you want to disobey the emperor?" ”。
This time it was Li Guoguang's turn to be confused, how could he only report to the emperor in the morning, and the emperor also recognized his investigation, how could he be persuaded by Jiang Zhong to release Liu Ruolan so quickly, if Liu Ruolan was released, wouldn't all his busy work in the past few days be wasted?
You must know that if Liu Ling'er is not arrested by then, the emperor will take his own life, this is ......
"You don't want to talk nonsense, how could the emperor agree to let you go, this Liu Ruolan is a sinner who colluded with the remnants of Nanzhao, and it is impossible to let her go at will."
Jiang Zhong was too lazy to argue with Li Guoguang, so he shook the edict given to him by Liu Di in front of Li Guoguang, and then said: "You see, this is the emperor's edict, and seeing the edict is seeing the emperor, if you dare to say more, don't blame me for participating in your book about rebellion and rebellion."
Hearing the word 'disobedience', Li Guoguang softened, you must know how the current emperor ascended to the throne, if he heard these two words, he must not kill a hundred people, and would rather kill one by mistake than give authority to the people next to him.
So Li Guoguang gritted his teeth and took Liu Ruolan out of the dungeon.
At first, Liu Ruolan didn't believe that Jiang Zhong would save herself, but it wasn't until the jailer really removed the shackles on her body that she really accepted this fact, but Jiang Zhong ......
Liu Ruolan was slightly excited, after so many years of affection, has it really paid off? In fact, Jiang Zhong still took himself to heart, otherwise how could he be so good to himself and save himself from prison so quickly.
The moment she saw Jiang Zhong, Liu Ruolan's eyes were already full of tears, as if she was ready to throw herself into Jiang Zhong's arms and carefully tell her grievances these days.
Seeing Liu Ruolan covered in scars, Jiang Zhong frowned slightly, this woman was not worrying at all, thinking about it, he turned around and threw down his sleeves, and let the little servant help Liu Ruolan out of the house and sit in the sedan chair.
Jiang Zhong immediately looked back at Li Guoguang, who was stunned, and said: "I have always been too lazy to fight with others, but if I am in a hurry, I will not hesitate to fight you to the end, who has more means, whose strategy is clever, if you want to try, come hard, and the old man will accompany you to the end."
After that, Jiang Zhong went straight out of the Li Mansion without looking back and boarded his carriage.
In the small space of the carriage, Liu Ruolan sat on the outside, her eyes carefully wandered on Jiang Zhong, and after a while, she said to Jiang Zhong in great confusion: "My lord, this time the grace of the adult's rescue, the concubine is ......."
"You're welcome", Jiang Zhong closed his eyes, Rao didn't look at Liu Ruolan at all, and then said: "Don't act so arrogantly in the future, otherwise even if I save you this time, sooner or later you will fall into the hands of others, it is luck that you can be saved this time, next time, if you can't save it, I will not hesitate to give up your life."
There is no doubt that Jiang Zhong's words are telling Liu Ruolan not to have any illusions about herself, her life has never been Jiang Zhong's first choice, but it was just saved with a gesture.
Liu Ruolan bit her lip, with crystal droplets in her eyes, and she endured it without dripping, because she knew that Jiang Zhong hated and hated herself the most, which was her often uncontrollable tears.
Until one time, Jiang Zhong angrily pulled her to the ground, and said angrily: "Hugh wants me to see the worthless moisture in your eyes again, otherwise I will divorce you!" ”。
Since that time, Jiang Zhong has never looked at Liu Ruolan directly, if it weren't for Jiang Zhong rescuing himself this time, the opportunity to see Jiang Zhong is pitiful is very small, after all, Jiang Zhong's love for himself has always been for the housewife in the Prime Minister's Mansion, just to make that person sad.
