"......" Hearing Xiao Jiangyuan's words that made such a big scene, Li Longji sighed silently and rolled his eyes.

The girl in her arms did not react to her hug, her body remained motionless, neither raised her arms to hug him, nor struggled. It seems that she has never been emotionally moved just now, and everything he did to her is like this when the prince treats his favored eunuchs, which is normal, and has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

For a while, all the charming charm dissipated, and Li Longji was angry and funny, and he really didn't know what to do with Xiao Jiangyuan.

After thinking about it, he finally let go of her very reluctantly, but he was still a little unwilling: "What do you mean by being like this now?" You're just ......."

"The slave didn't do anything." Xiao Jiangyuan is both a truth and a lie. The truth lies in the fact that in Li Longji's eyes, she really hasn't done anything, and the lie lies in the fact that she knows that when Li Longji hugged her, her heart was felt, and her hands were raised lightly for a moment, but when she was only a few inches raised, she put it down again.

And Li Longji didn't see this small action.

Therefore, Li Longji choked up, and then said: "You always deliberately restrain yourself like this, suppressing yourself into the appearance that an inner servant should be, even in front of me, you hide it...... To this day, do I still make you so guarded? ”

"Preparedness?" Xiao Jiangyuan blinked and smiled, "Why did Ah Lang say this?" ”

"Thou hast ignored my affection for thee, and hast neglected thee unto me; As long as I go further, you have to take a step back; It's hard for you to open your heart once, but as soon as you see me coming forward, you will immediately close the door of your heart again...... Isn't this a precaution? Li Longji approached Xiao Jiangyuan step by step, "What are you guarding against me?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was stunned, pondered for a while, and did not speak.

This is the default. Li Longji's eyes burned: "Do you think I'm just talking to you?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan took two steps back, distanced himself from Li Longji, and bowed his hand and said, "Please also ask Ah Lang to put political affairs first." ”

Li Longji raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where does my heart go, who does my love belong to, it's a lifelong event, isn't it a serious matter?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was unmoved: "Compared with national events, private feelings are as light as a feather. Ah Lang is already the foundation of the country, and this body has promised the country, and he should put national affairs first. ”

"You ......" Li Longji was slightly angry, and glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan fixedly, the fire in his chest was burning hot, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Was she specially sent by heaven to kill him?

After being silent for a long time, seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan still looked faint and smiled lightly, he finally sighed deeply and said, "Say, what has my aunt done in the past few days?" ”

Seeing that Li Longji had regained his amorous demeanor, but his eyes were a little calm, it was just about to really talk about business, Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes lit up, and his expression was a lot fresher. Li Longji was both puzzled and hateful about this, and more helpless.

What he is puzzling is that if he treats his wife and concubine coldly because of official business on weekdays, they will be more or less unpleasant, or side-knocking, or straightforward, although he has not been delayed in business to have a relationship with his children, but he obviously prefers his homely appearance. At least this point, Xiao Jiangyuan is completely different - this is also what he hates.

A woman looks like she is businesslike all the time, and her emotions are no exception, and he still likes her like this, which is really helpless.

Li Longji sighed in his heart, and then listened to Xiao Jiangyuan say: "Ah Lang still remembers Xiao Zhizhong and Cui Xiang? ”

How could Li Longji not remember. First of all, these two are beautiful men, especially Xiao Zhizhong, which is unforgettable at first sight. Secondly, after Li Chongjun's coup d'état, when the first emperor intended to connect the prime minister and Princess Taiping, he "spoke up", so that the first emperor dispelled this idea, and it was also considered a life-saving grace for Li Dan and Princess Taiping.

As for Cui Xiang, this handsome Langjun who was born in the Boling Cui clan was a famous crowned jinshi at the beginning, and he was admitted to the jinshi at the age of twenty, but he was too young and extremely proud. Later, I didn't know how to think about it, he actually became Shangguan Wan'er's lover, although the two of them never showed anything, but when they had time, they went in and out, and even Wu Sansi could only watch dryly, and couldn't say anything.

These two people belonged to Empress Wei's henchmen, who escaped when Li Longji carried out a coup d'état, and had already been demoted by Li Dan, but in just two days, they were pulled back to the political hall by Li Dan and reappointed as prime minister.

There was a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition, who didn't know that this was because after they took the edict, they didn't pack up and prepare to leave, but went straight to the princess's mansion in Zhenguo?

Hearing about Xiao Zhizhong and Cui Xiang's return to the political hall, Li Longji said unexpectedly: "Aunt doesn't mind that they were once Wei's henchmen, so it's okay, they have no nostalgia for the old master at all, and they turn around and defect to a new master, without even a little struggle and waiting, such ethics, aunt dares to use it?" Sure enough, those who become big things are not informal, no wonder my grandmother always says that my aunt is like her. ”

"What kind of person has what kind of use, in the past, the queen of heaven appointed a cool official, in order to eliminate all the hidden dangers that could threaten her, but she never let the cool official's official position be too high, and none of the capable ministers who should be protected were touched by the cool officials. And the queen of heaven will kill when she runs out, which not only brings out the evil breath of the government and the opposition, but also appeases the people, which can be regarded as making use of the last value of the cool officials. Xiao Jiangyuan said leisurely, "It doesn't matter whether Xiao Zhizhong and Cui Xiang have good character and integrity. For Princess Taiping, as long as they can be used by her, it is enough for them, anyway, they are also lost dogs, and they will not feel distressed when they are thrown out as an abandoned child one day. ”

"That's right." Li Longji hesitated as he spoke, and said, "Cui Xiang, do you recognize this person?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said: "Of course the slave and maid recognize it. ”

"Have you ever touched it, but have you spoken?"

"As far as the slaves and maids of the past are concerned, there are still many such opportunities."

Li Longji's eyes flickered suspiciously: "...... Then Cui Xiang can be regarded as watching you grow up? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan thought about it seriously for a while, and shook his head seriously: "No, the slaves and maids he has seen for so many years are not as much as what Ah Lang has seen in the past few years." ”

Li Longji covered his lips with the back of his hand, the corners of his lips were lightly raised, and he coughed lightly, pretending to be calm: "This Cui Chenglan really has a good relationship with Shangguan Zhaorong?" ”

“…… The slave didn't pay attention, only remembered that where they were, they must be inseparable. After a pause, Xiao Jiangyuan said again, "What the slave can be sure of is that Shangguan Zhaorong will not be emotional to any man, as for Cui Xiang, the slave and maid think that it is better to chase fame and fortune." Emperor Xian, Wei's, Princess Anle, Shangguan Zhaorong, Wu Sansi, Cui Xiang...... How can the deeds of those people be judged by emotion alone? ”

Li Longji nodded noncommittally: "Then...... How much do you know about Choi? ”

"The face is like a crown of jade, the talent is outstanding, the despicable and shameless, and it is better than Yizong."

"In your eyes, he is even more shameless than Wu Yizong?"

"Ah Lang should know that slaves and maids are actually very gentle and tolerant, but they are the most contemptuous of such people who are talented and immoral at both ends of the world."

Speaking of Cui Xiang's talent, just because he was crowned a jinshi, it is already amazing. At the age of thirty-eight, he once walked in the Eastern Capital, and casually chanted a sentence "Spring is still in the forest garden, and the flowers are full of Luoyang City", which was seen by a generation of Wenzong Zhang Shuo. Zhang said that he was a little above the top, but he was convinced of Cui Xiang's talent: "I am not inferior to him for such literary talent, but I can't compare with him when he has such a great achievement at his age." ”

But when it comes to Cui Xiang's virtue, those who know can't help but shake their heads. Thinking that he Cui Xiang was under Huan Yanfan in the past, after the Shenlong coup, Wu Sansi was favored by the first emperor, and Huan Yanfan was worried that he would be harmed by his slander, so he sent Cui Xiang to Wu Sansi's side. As a result, it didn't take long for Cui Xiang to turn against the water, and after Huan Yanfan and other five ministers were exiled, he asked Wu Sansi to cut the grass and eradicate the root cause forever.

"Then I roughly understand." Cui Xiang's behavior, Li Longji is not completely unaware, "My Tang Dynasty has always been a group system, my aunt has already started to install her own people in the political hall, although I have no people under me who can be the prime minister and can compete with Xiao Zhizhong Cui Xiang and others, but I can't do nothing." Anyway, he is also a prince now, and some powers that he couldn't touch before, but now he can exercise them. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan thought about it for a moment and said, "What Ah Lang said...... But the recommender? Seeing Li Longji's head, Xiao Jiangyuan said again, "What Ah Lang wants to recommend, it is best to have been a prime minister, his ability is undoubted, there is no shortage of people and connections, and the most important thing is to be open-minded and firm, otherwise I am afraid that I will be won over by Princess Taiping." And in today's court, the slaves and maids can't find a person who can meet such standards. ”

"I can't find it in the court, but I can go to the place to find it." Li Longji's eyes shone brightly, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly.

The next day, Li Longji went to explain his thoughts to Li Dan. Li Dan is not without words about Xiao Zhizhong and Cui Xiang's return to the position of prime minister, but he can't bear to refuse his sister's request. But the court can't let Taiping a princess dominate, and the two people recommended by San Lang are both recognized as good ministers who are dedicated to the country, so Li Dan agreed to Li Longji's suggestion.

Li Dan would agree, which was expected. But when Li Longji walked out of the Liangyi Palace, Xiao Jiangyuan didn't see any optimistic expression on his face, and even the curvature of his lips was a little stiff. After asking, I learned that Li Dan had just issued an edict to deprive Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun of their titles and titles, open their coffins, violent their corpses, and level their graves, in order to show their heinous crimes.

Xiao Jiangyuan said: "When the sage was the emperor's heir in his early years, he was wronged by Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, and then he finally waited for his brother to succeed to the throne, but he was still suppressed by Wu Sansi. Now that I am raising my eyebrows, it makes sense to do so. Besides, Ran Zuyong, who had previously slandered the saint and Princess Taiping for participating in the coup d'état of the crown prince Chongjun, only offended the saint this time, and was he exiled by the saint? ”
