Li Ziyue's joy suddenly froze at the corners of her mouth, "Father, what happened?" ”

Li Ge Lao saw Li Ziyue and Li Qianyue in her arms, her expression changed, and she softened a little, and she wanted to smile at her little grandson, but she couldn't laugh.

I had to wave my hand, "You step back first, for my father and Yushen have something to say." ”

Li Ziyue felt the aura of danger and refused to retreat.

In the past, no matter what problems Li Ge Lao encountered in the court, he would be happy when he went home and saw Li Qianyue in infancy, but today even Li Qianyue couldn't make him happy.

Something big must have happened.

Li Ziyue hurriedly said: "Father, what happened?" I don't quit, although I don't understand politics, I can let me know that there are some things that are fine, and I won't tell others. We are all family, why are you hiding it from me? ”

Li Ge was so angry that he put his hands behind his back and glanced at Ji Yushen.

Ji Yu said to Li Ziyue with deep interest: "Ziyue, you take Qianyue back first, I have something to say to my father-in-law." Don't worry, I'll go back to have dinner with you in a while, I can't miss it. ”

Li Ziyue looked at Ji Yushen with a complicated expression, and bit her lower lip a little aggrieved, "Really? ”

"Hmm."

Ji Yushen nodded lightly, and Li Ziyue reluctantly walked out with the child in her arms, turning back three times in one step.

Finally waiting for her to leave, Li Ge said strangely: "The old man's daughter, now that she is older, she doesn't listen to the old man's words. But he is obedient to you, a husband, and obeys everything. ”

There was clearly a hint of suspicion in this statement.

Ji Yushen smiled, "It is said that a woman follows her father at home and marries her husband, although the son-in-law is in the Li family, and Ziyue is not married, but this little daughter's affection is the same." When Qianyue is older, I'm afraid that she won't listen to me, but will focus on her son wholeheartedly. Father-in-law, did you say yes? ”

When Elder Li Ge heard this, his expression softened a little, and then he slowly sat down.

"Today in the main hall, why did you take the initiative to bring up the words of Wu Laixin's mastermind behind the scenes? Don't you know who is the real mastermind behind Wu Laixin? Who do you want to give up? ”

"It turns out that my father-in-law is worried about this."

Ji Yushen raised his head, not in a hurry or impatient, "I naturally know who the real mastermind behind the scenes is, just because I know, so I must push Li Shen out and be the scapegoat of the real mastermind behind the scenes." Father-in-law, don't you understand? ”

Li Gelao's face changed and he didn't speak.

Ji Yushen continued: "Today in the palace, since Sima Hu mentioned Wu Laixin's matter, I have been observing his expression and actions. Sima Hu is obviously fully prepared, and has investigated Wu Laixin's corruption case very carefully, and he is also very clear about the mastermind behind the scenes. Did my father-in-law forget, I just mentioned it in the palace at that time, and Sima Hu quickly confessed Li Shen. There are still countless contacts between Li Shen and Wu Laixin, if Sima Hu finds out only one of Li Shen's servants, then I will try my best to keep Li Shen, but it's a pity ......"

It's a pity that Sima Hu has already found out the guilt of Li Shen, a second-class member of the imperial court.

But if there was a little hesitation, with Sima Hu's official position as Sipin, he didn't dare to rashly propose Li Shen's name.

Li Ge Lao's face softened a lot, "You're right. Sima Hu has already found a high enough position that even if you don't mention him, he will say it. It's just that Li Shen is the right-hand man of the old man, and he is a clansman with a surname, so how do you ask the old man to explain to the clansmen and ancestors? ”

Ji Yushen smiled faintly.

It seems that Li Ge Lao should not have asked him this question, but he was not the one who said in the palace that he wanted to remove Li Shen's name from the family tree.

Elder Li Ge also seemed to be aware of this problem, and picked up the teacup in a curt.

Ji Yushen said: "Li Shen's problem, Sima Hu has found out clearly, even if his father-in-law wants to protect him, he can't make a move." Only when Li Shen is completely defeated, the emperor will not be suspicious of his father-in-law, and his father-in-law will be safer. ”

Elder Li Ge nodded, Ji Yushen's words gave him an excuse to be relieved, in order to preserve the glory of the Li clan, Li Shen had to die.

Ji Yushen said again: "What's more, in the palace today, I put forward those words for another purpose, that is, to win the trust of the emperor, Sima Hu and other new ministers. Since Sima Hu has already found a higher place, I will push the boat down the river and make a single effort to be loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly, and never fall into the formation of a party for personal gain, wouldn't it be more gratifying to the emperor and respectful to Sima Hu and others? My father-in-law has always asked me to make friends with these new ministers, and I always keep it in my heart. ”

Elder Li Ge nodded appreciatively, "You're right, it's the old man who is so confused that he forgot about this stubble." You're doing the right thing, you're doing it right......"

He remembered his attitude towards Ji Yushen just now, the late Li and Li Changzai in the palace were suspicious of Ji Yushen one after another, plus his face towards Ji Yushen was not good this time, Li Ge Lao was a little worried about causing Ji Yushen's resentment.

After all, he is now a dignified cabinet minister, but he is no longer a scholar who has nothing and lives in the Li Mansion.

He comforted him with kind words: "What did you just say? What's not to be rich, just because your hometown is far away and you have no support in the capital, and it happens that the Li Mansion is a big place, so you and Ziyue will live in the Li Mansion after they get married. Without the words, everyone is a family, why do you say it so ruthlessly? ”

Ji Yushen knew that he was currying favor with himself, and he didn't show the slightest pride.

He just reminded himself soberly in his heart that Li Ge was used to saying these words to fool outsiders, which sounded sanctimonious, but in fact, he was hiding treachery in his heart and refused to show it.

If he really didn't think that Ji Yushen was the son-in-law of the family, how could he let him and Li Ziyue's children have the surname of the Li family when Ji Yushen was already an important member of the third rank in the court and a popular person in front of the emperor?

How could he resolutely not allow Ji Yushen and Li Ziyue to move out and live alone after the emperor rewarded him with another mansion, and he was not even allowed to buy utensils?

is nothing more than afraid that after he buys utensils, he will one day leave the Li Mansion with his wife and children.

The mouth is full of absurdity and hypocrisy, which is despicable.

Elder Li Ge said a lot of comforting words that he thought were well-intentioned, but Ji Yushen just listened silently, and it wasn't until it was getting late that he interrupted: "I already understand my father-in-law's words, if there is nothing else, I want to go back to the courtyard to accompany Ziyue and Qianyue for dinner first." ”

Li Ge Lao remembered that Ji Yushen also promised Li Ziyue to go back for dinner, but he was afraid that if it was a little later, Li Ziyue would personally come to the upper room to urge.

He hurriedly said, "Go quickly, go quickly." ”

Ji Yushen bowed, turned around and walked out, the azure back melted into the dark night, and it still looked like a winter cold.
