Li Longji eventually forgave Zhang Shuo's sins and released him from prison.

He did soften, not only because of Xiao Jiangyuan, but also because Zhang Shuo had been his teacher, even if Zhang Shuo had done many wrong things, there was always some kindness between him and him.

What's more, there is also a like-minded oath on the top of Mount Tai.

Li Longji will never forget the moment when he overlooked the world on the top of Mount Tai for the rest of his life. At that moment, he flaunted the annals of history and became one of the few emperors of the ages, and this was the glory that Zhang Shuo brought him. As long as he thinks of Feng Chan, he will think of Zhang Shuo.

- But he didn't want to put it so early.

This is to blame Xiao Jiangyuan, who put Zhang Shuo's brother into the palace without authorization, so that he could have the opportunity to cut off his ears and substitute for the crime in front of everyone!

"You're satisfied now?"

In the dead of night, when only the two of them were left in the hall, Li Longji suddenly spoke, with obvious unconvincing in his tone, and more elusive depression and silence.

"This is everyone's affection, and it has nothing to do with the minister." Xiao Jiangyuan was stunned for a moment, but still replied soberly, "Don't you think that for Zhang Xianggong, this is a more appropriate punishment?" ”

"Are you saying that once upon a time, Zhang Jiazhen's brothers were unlucky when they fell into the hands of Zhang Shuo, and now this is a report and a report?"

"Attack the heart first, everyone is really sage."

"Come less." Li Longji snorted coldly, "Although I let Zhang say and let him do everything as before, this prime minister, he will never be able to be the same again." In order to prevent anyone from following suit, my brother and I will also punish him. ”

This is not within the scope of Xiao Jiangyuan's plea. She got what she wanted, and her smile was a little more sincere: "Everyone is kind." ”

Li Longji still looked awkward, but he couldn't help but look at Xiao Jiangyuan, sometimes pouting and sometimes frowning. I don't know how long later, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately stood up.

"It's time to go to bed, where are you going?" Xiao Jiangyuan was smoking incense for Li Longji's bed, and when he saw Li Longji's quick and abrupt movements, he hurriedly asked.

"Swing, I'm going to Yueniang."

Xiao Jiangyuan was only stunned for a moment, then reacted, got up and called Jingzhong and Bian Lingcheng to enter, first asked Bian Lingcheng to inform Concubine Wu Xian, and then ordered Jingzhong to guide Li Longji: "The road is dark in the middle of the night, be sure to take care of everyone." ”

Li Longji raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to go with me?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said with a smile: "Tonight is not the minister's night, and the minister still has some government affairs that have not been done, it is a matter of everyone's trust, and the minister does not dare to slack off." ”

After Li Longji left noncommittally, the smile on Xiao Jiangyuan's face gradually faded.

She was puzzled by her reaction. She's just his courtier, shouldn't she be...... Or unconsciously, in the bottom of her heavy heart, her identity has finally undergone a fundamental transformation?

In the past, she would have resolutely refused, but tonight, thinking of Li Longji's awkwardness and caution, she began not to reject it. She even enjoyed the sourness and sweetness a little, which she had never had in her life.

Is she ...... Should you try to trust him once?

- Of course, without preventing her from continuing to be a eunuch.

What Zhang said didn't end with Li Longji's magnanimity.

Xiao Jiangyuan found that there were a lot of accusations against Zhang Shuo in the above table from the day after Zhang Shuo was released, and even some of Zhang Shuo's previous decrees were picked in the egg. At first, she thought it was a normal phenomenon, after all, although Li Longji dismissed Zhang Shuo's phase, he also favored him nakedly, and it was appropriate for the courtiers to be dissatisfied, but within a few days, she found some content in the courtiers' recitals that was-for-tat with the accusation of Zhang Shuo, and even more clearly pointed at Yu Wenrong and Cui Yinfu, saying that they were improper officials and used the public for personal gain.

She couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, and then picked a few volumes from each side of the debate, which were straightforward or spicy, and planned to present them to Li Longji to read. But when Xiao Jiangyuan stepped into the hall, he didn't see Li Longji.

Jing Zhong knew what the master meant at a glance, hurriedly walked over, and said in a low voice, "Everyone has gone to Concubine Wuxian." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan frowned slightly: "Where is Concubine Wuxian again?" ”

Jing Zhong heard that something was wrong: "Concubine Wuxian favors the harem, isn't it unusual for everyone to be there from time to time?" It wasn't like that before......"

When Xiao Jiangyuan heard this, he immediately stretched his expression without a trace: "Everyone didn't let you follow?" ”

Jing Zhong pursed his lips: "Master, don't always let me follow you in the future, everyone doesn't like me, and you can't see it." For the sake of your face, everyone naturally won't care about me like me, but ......" said, Jing Zhong leaned closer to Xiao Jiangyuan's ear, "I really don't like everyone very much." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan also lowered his voice, and even his tone was a little lower: "You don't want to follow everyone, do you want to follow Wang Maozhong to the idle stable to boil the eagle and release the horse?" ”

Feng Chan only allowed Xiao Jiangyuan and Wang Maozhong to have a short period of peace, but it did not make the relationship between the two of them really ease, Wang Maozhong's stables and the soldiers who were good friends with him still did not deal with Xiao Jiangyuan's inner guards, but it would not affect Li Longji's affairs because of this.

Jing Zhong naturally knew this, so although he had some dealings with Wang Maozhong, he also thought that he was at ease, and it was impossible for his master to have similar thoughts that he would rebel. But other than that, he really couldn't imagine that he had done something wrong, and that he could make the master lose his former gentleness and easy-going for a while.

If it's not your own reason, then it's ...... Li Longji?

Jing Zhong's eyes rolled, and he realized a big thing that was very important to him.

His mood was immediately unstable. He suddenly felt a dry mouth, many words were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word, so he heard Xiao Jiangyuan say:

"Maybe you should have had a different career."

Jing Zhong looked at it again, Xiao Jiangyuan had returned to his usual appearance, turned around and walked back to his residence.

He looked at the back of the master leaving, raised his hand and gently stroked his chest, there was an unusually bumpy beating in it, but it couldn't be as usual for a long time.

It wasn't until late evening that Li Longji came back, and when he heard that Xiao Jiangyuan had looked for him, he sent Jingzhong to call Xiao Jiangyuan to ask.

Xiao Jiangyuan put the previously selected recital watch on top of Li Longji's imperial case, and invited Li Longji to watch it first.

After reading it, Li Longji couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing Li Longji like this, Xiao Jiangyuan knew that he was the same as himself, and he knew what was going on at a glance: "Zhang Youcheng was caught in several crimes, but he was gently put down after being mentioned by everyone, how could Yuwen Zhongcheng be willing, and he was even more worried that one day Zhang Youcheng would take revenge on him, so he and Doctor Cui would not work in vain?" But Zhang Youcheng finally got out of prison, how could he allow someone to continue to slander him, so he naturally had to contact the old man and counterattack. At the moment, it is still a-for-tat on the table, and I don't know what the quarrel will be like at the big court meeting in a few days. ”

Li Longji became interested in another thing: "What about Li Shilang's recital? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan, who has always answered fluently, unexpectedly stammered. She thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but smile: "Li Zhongcheng is not on the table. ”

"Really?"

"The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and there are only two people who have not come to the table on this matter, one is Zhang Sheren, and the other is Li Zhongcheng."

Li Longji smiled: "Zishou is like this, I don't ask and I know, but I didn't expect Li Shilang to be like this." Thanks to Dr. Cui and Yuwen Zhongcheng working with him, why don't you learn from others and have a clearer mind? ”

"The minister remembered one more thing - Li Zhongcheng also took sick leave in the past few days, and Yuwen Zhongcheng came to the door several times to no avail."

Li Longji suddenly realized: "It turns out that Yuwen Zhongcheng doesn't want to learn from him, but he doesn't have to learn." This Li Shilang really won my heart, interesting, very interesting. ”

Seeing that Li Longji, who has always been serious and diligent in government, was taken off topic by Li Linfu, Xiao Jiangyuan was surprised and hurriedly pulled back: "How are you going to deal with this matter?" ”

After more than ten years of baptism, Li Longji was already comfortable with the government and hundreds of officials, so he didn't take this matter to heart: "As long as it doesn't affect state affairs, whatever they quarrel with." ”

"The country can't be without a phase for a day, Zhang Youcheng has quit the prime minister, there must be a new person on top."

"They are arguing, if I decide who is the Zhongshu order at this time, the court will not immediately be like boiling water?"

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while and said, "Without the Zhongshu Order, there can be something else." ”

- yes.

The model of the two prime ministers of Zhongshu Lingjiamen was set up by Li Longji and lasted for several years, and he was used to it, and he forgot for a while that before that, the prime minister had other sayings.

Soon after, Li Longji selected Li Yuanhong, the head of the household department, as the subordinate of Tongzhongshu, and performed the duties of prime minister together with Yuan Qianyao.

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't expect that Li Yuanhong was just a trainee prime minister, not the chief prime minister of Zhongshuling, but he could also add a lot of firewood to the quarrel that burned between the DPRK and China.

Then it can't be because they quarrel, her Ah Lang won't worship each other, right? Although this Li Yuanhong was born in the army, he has military merits and can collect money, he is a capable minister, and he is also an honest and honest general, the old house has not been repaired for many years, and the family wealth is scattered by relatives, quite the style of Lu Huaishen back then, and the Wenchen faction can also go down?

As for the Nengchen faction, it's not just a matter of being a Tongzhongshu sect, it's also worth being proud, and there are many places where the son of heaven is praised for Shengming, and it is not a good thing to want to pull her family Ah Lang into the water.

Xiao Jiangyuan looked at such a recital for many days, and only felt a headache. Thinking that Li Longji returned to the palace recently, he frequently went in and out of Concubine Wuxian's dormitory, and handed over many less important political affairs to her, and she seemed to be at ease, so she thought that this headache should be left untouched to give Li Longji a feeling.

That's what she thought, and she did it - Li Linfu would take sick leave, and so would she.

Li Longji not only had a headache, but was also annoyed. These people are arguing all the time, it's just a cliché, and the state affairs are really not delayed, but it's really unbearable to keep doing this. If there is something that can divert their attention, or simply allow them to unite the front for a while, that would be fine.

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan claimed to be sick, but he was leisurely playing the out-of-tune and piercing gonghou in the room without any illness, Li Longji was angry and thought about it.

"I'm going to stand up."
