Li Jie's eyes were calm: "This king has naturally thought about all possibilities, but this matter must be done." ”

A few days ago, the thief army crossed the ridge and invaded Fujian. Gao Yu, the envoy of the Zhenhai Navy Jiedu who was close to Tian Lingzi's faction, was appointed as the deputy ambassador of Huainan Jiedu because he had broken the Yellow Nest in eastern Zhejiang. He was not only responsible for presiding over the affairs of the Jiedu Envoy, but also controlled the authority of Jianghuai salt and iron transshipment.

Jianghuai is a rich land, and salt and iron are the bulk of the imperial court's taxes, and if it is mastered by Gao Biao at this time, it will only make Tian Lingzi's faction more and more powerful, but the imperial court will become more and more empty.

The sage trusted Tian Lingzi, but Li Jie did not dare to put his life in his hands. Therefore, it is imperative to get rid of Sun Fang.

This is the first time Li Jie has told Du Baozhu about the court, and it is such a heavy topic. Du Baozhu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

She is a person of the future and knows where this history is headed. Gao Biao, as Li Jie expected, was arrogant, and it was his deliberate connivance that made the Jianghuai defense line useless and allowed the rebel army to quickly advance into Chang'an.

If this can be stopped in advance, maybe Chang'an can really be saved?

Of course, this chance is not great, but he has been forced to get on the thief ship, and it seems that there is no other choice. Du Baozhu bit his lip: "I can come out to face Fu Sun Fang, but this little evidence alone can't defeat him." Does Your Highness have a backhand? Tell me together. ”

Li Jie's eyes flashed, and he finally spoke: "There is also a vendor selling sugar dumplings, he has seen two dead soldiers enter and leave the Sun Mansion. ”

In other words, now someone is pointing to the murderer, and someone can prove that the murderer is related to Sun Fang. However, these evidences are too fragile, if Liu Zhongfang insists on crooking his ass to protect Sun Fang, it can be said that Du Baozhu created perjury.

There must be pressure from above to force Liu Zhongfang to handle the case impartially...... Li Jie couldn't count on it, he turned so many corners and forced her to get on the boat, just because he didn't want to go against Tian Lingzi on the bright side.

Du Baozhu's white teeth made a deep mark on his plump lips, and he lowered his head and thought for a moment before raising his head: "Your Highness, can you arrange for me to meet with the prince's guest, Zheng Jin?" ”

Zheng Zheng is the previous prime minister, in May, because of the question of whether to grant the Huangchao Festival envoy, and the prime minister Lu Xi had a big quarrel in Zhongshu Province, both were dismissed by Li Yi, and now they are serving in the eastern capital of Luoyang.

Although he was demoted, he did not really lose power. Du Baozhu remembered that after Huang Chao entered the capital, it was he who gathered the scattered army and led everyone to defeat the righteous army.

This person has an upright temperament and is not afraid of Tian Lingzi's power, so he may be able to use his hand to put pressure on Liu Zhongfang.

"Zheng Jin?" Li Jie's originally slightly drooping eyes suddenly looked at Du Baozhu: "This king remembers, you don't care much about the affairs of the court, why did you suddenly mention him?" ”

has been forced into the game, hiding is not able to hide, Du Baozhu now just wants to increase the weight of his own victory, and has to reveal one or two to Li Jie.

But the truth can't be said, so I have to borrow Aye's name: "I once praised Prime Minister Zheng, saying that he was the most upright and dared to refute Tian Lingzi in person. With him staring, Tian Lingzi didn't dare to shield Sun Fang. ”

"Oh?" But Li Jie is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and when he heard this, he immediately raised the corners of his eyes slightly and looked at Du Baozhu: "But Zheng Ji is only a guest of the prince now, and he has no real position, what can he do to fight against Tian Lingzi?" ”

"Zheng Xiang was demoted to the prince's guest, but the saint's punishment for his failure in front of Lu Xiandian was not a big deal. When the saint's popularity fades, they will naturally resume their official positions. There are also many protégés of Zheng Xiang in the court, as long as he is willing to take care of this matter, naturally someone will present this matter to the saint. ”

'Knock knock', Li Jie gently tapped the armrest, his eyes contemplative. After a while, he said, "Okay, since you are full of confidence, this king will introduce you once." ”

Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Chang'an, the western capital, are three days apart, and Du Baozhu went home overnight to prepare the car, explain the follow-up matters, and appease Cui's family.

finally got Cui's release, and the next morning, he took Luming Chen Niao to the Ruyi Tea Shop.

"Du Niangzi." Pei Nuan, dressed in white, was waiting for her at the door.

Pei Nuan is in his early twenties this year, but because he is frail and has not seen the sun for a long time, he looks much younger than his actual age. Dressed in white standing in the wind, the wide sleeves were blown and fluttering, there was really a bit of fairy elegance, no wonder it could fascinate a group of Chang'an girls.

Du Baozhu was not interested in such a sick seedling and was unmoved. She stretched her neck and looked left and right, but there was no trace of Li Jie: "Pei Lang knows where His Royal Highness King Shou is now?" ”

Pei Nuan blinked and coughed lightly: "A certain person is the person who introduced Du Niangzi." ”

Pei Nuan's grandfather was a famous minister Pei Du, who was not only a good official, but also wrote poems well. In his later years, he had close contacts with the famous Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi and others.

Now that Pei Du has passed away, the prestige of the Pei family is still there, and it is indeed reasonable for him to introduce Du Baozhu to Zheng Jin. What's more, the two had an 'admiring' relationship before, and it is not strange to get together.

Du Baozhu thought about it for a while, and then understood Li Jie's arrangement: "Then it's hard for Langjun to accompany me." ”

"It's not hard." Pei Nuan hooked the corners of his lips, and his smile was like a spring breeze: "This matter is because we have affected you." ”

Du Baozhu couldn't see it, and just looked towards the side of the road: "Pei Lang has prepared a carriage?" ”

It was the first time that Pei Nuan had shown his amorous charm to a blind man, and he couldn't help but be stunned. After being stunned, he smiled freely: "I'm ready, let's go?" ”

"Let's go."

This time it's not a procurement of goods, nothing of value. Du Baozhu didn't bring many people, except for Luming Chen Bird, he only hired a few martial artists who were familiar with each other and trustworthy as bodyguards.

A group of people traveled lightly, day and night, and finally arrived in Luoyang on time. didn't care about appreciating the prosperity of Luoyang City, after the inn was slightly renovated, Du Baozhu handed over the name card to Zheng Zhai.

The mansion where Zheng Zheng lives is not big, and there are only about a dozen servants including the gatehouse.

The little man in Tsing Yi who led the way took people to the flower hall where the guests were entertained and retreated, and a loud male voice suddenly sounded in the house: "It turned out to be Pei Xiaoyou!" ”

When Du Baozhu heard the prestige, he saw a man in his sixties in a scribe's robe striding towards them.

This prime minister seems to be different from what she expected, there is no sour and rotten atmosphere of the literati on his body, but his posture is free and easy, and his spirit is strong.

No wonder the emperor ran away, he was still able to gather the remnants and fight with the Yellow Nest.

Du Baozhu has no good impression of the collapsed Tang Dynasty, but he always has reverence for the knights who can stand up in times of danger, otherwise he would not have racked his brains to save the Du family after knowing that he had become Du Rangneng's daughter.

After Pei Nuan made an introduction, she saluted respectfully: "I've seen Gong Zheng." ”

Zheng Zheng lowered his head and glanced at Du Baozhu carefully, and his bright eyes immediately became extremely sharp: "I don't know if the little lady is here, what is the important matter of looking for so-and-so?" ”

Anyone who is approached by a little girl they don't know will feel strange. Du Baozhu has been here for half a year, and he has long been accustomed to such a gaze, and when he heard this, he honestly explained how he provoked a lawsuit, and how he traced and found that the real culprit was the first emperor who was protected by Tian Lingzi.

In the end, he said: "When the slave came to visit Zheng Gong, he was not only worried that he would be wronged, but worried that if he did business as much as he did his duty, he would not be able to spend money to make friends with the close ministers around the saint, and in the long run, the atmosphere would be corrupted, which would not be conducive to the country or business, but he was afraid that the country would perish!" ”

"You're so daring!" Zheng Jin's eyes glared violently, and his voice roared like thunder: "Huangkou Xiaoer, how dare you say such a rebellious thing?" ”

Pei Nuan didn't expect Du Baozhu to dare to say 'destroy the country' as soon as he came up, and he was also surprised, and hurriedly blocked in the middle to play a round.

Du Baozhu was not afraid of Zheng Jin's gaze, and looked back with his face: "The country was not destroyed by a child like me, but by the superior who did nothing to do in his position." What is the situation now, anyone with eyes can see, so why should they be afraid of me saying it? ”

"Zheng Gong ......" Pei Nuan rarely lost his graceful demeanor, and was in a dilemma in the middle: "Du Xiaoniang is young and vigorous, and what she said is not calm, please forgive me......"

"Ha-" Zheng Jin suddenly laughed loudly.

Although he was over sixty years old, his laughter was still heroic, which shocked Du Baozhu's ears. Pei Nuan was also dumbfounded, does Zheng Gong agree with Du Baozhu's words, or does he disagree?

After laughing, Zheng Zhen stroked a handful of messy beards, and asked, "The little lady's trip should not be just to say these few words to a certain person, right?" What are you going to do? ”

"The slave wants to take this to bring down Sun Fang."

"Oh?" Zheng Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Sun Fang is an imperial merchant appointed by the sage, do you know the consequences of folding him?" ”

Du Baozhu nodded, his eyes deep.

Li Yi was raised by Tian Lingzi to ignore the world, ignore the government and politics, and mingle with Jianghu artists all day long. The gold coins of Chang'an Zuozang, Qitian and other warehouses were all used by him to reward musicians and tricks.

If Sun Fang is overthrown, Li Yi will have no money for fun, but he is afraid that it will be the people of the capital who will suffer.

"Still, you still want to bring down Sun Fang?"

Du Baozhu still nodded: "The slave fell off his horse a few months ago, and he was seriously injured in the leg, and the wound was pus. In order to treat the slave, the doctor cut the carrion with a knife. Although it was painful to cut the flesh and there was a lot of blood left, the result was that the slave's injuries healed. ”

"If you are worried that cutting pus will hurt and bleed, you will still be left on the leg by the pus, but I am afraid that in the end, let alone a piece of carrion, the whole leg will not be saved."

"Sun Fang is the first knife to cut off the abscess of Datang."

"What a first cut." Zheng Jin's eyes gradually eased, and he suddenly asked, "Are you the daughter of Du Rangneng, a member of the military department?" ”

"Slave exactly."

"Good, good, good." Zheng Yi laughed more and more heartily: "Qunyi has raised a good daughter, the Jingzhao Du family is worthy of being a century-old famous family, and there is really a set of raising children." ”

He waved his sleeves, turned around and knelt in the hall: "Come on, come on, you and tell me your plan carefully......"
