Chapter 279: Accepted the Princess's Dependents

And Li Mao stood there and stared at Gao Lishi coldly, knowing that after a long time, a black guard outside the door walked in quickly to report, and he signaled the little eunuch standing aside to help the old man up again. "Enlightened saint, they confessed, but she said......" "What did you say?" "As long as the former crown princess Wei knows the reason! In addition, he is only willing to be a saint if you are present in person! ”

When Li Mao heard this, he immediately waved his hand, laughed and said, "Old Gao, did you hear it, it seems that their Wei family is still not giving up?" Since the price code is thrown, it means that there are big fish behind it, right? Otherwise, you will follow me to the prison! Gao Lishi had just heard that Li Heng's family had been slaughtered by Li Mao, and he was already heartbroken, but now that he suddenly heard this guard mention Wei's, he immediately realized that Li Mao was not that ruthless person from beginning to end, and immediately understood that he was just using a heart-attacking technique against himself before.

So he immediately nodded with gratitude on his face and agreed, and when Li Mao strode in front of everyone, he was actually thinking a little bit about the Gao Lishi who was following behind him after decades of court changes and still couldn't stand, although he was very disgusted with this old man's eight-sided style that no one wanted to offend, but it was precisely because of this that he looked down on this old guy, after all, he was able to come all the way hard, and it seemed to be the result of his secret maintenance.

In a word, he still has Li Longji and Tang Jiangshan Sheji in the heart of Gao Lishi, he usually seems to be slapping horses and facing Li Longji's mind everywhere, but he can always bring human nature and rationality to the extreme when he goes to the key point, in fact, after Li Heng sat on the throne of the prince, Li Longji, a super suspicious guy, was also on guard against him all the time, especially after Li Linfu took the throne, because he had pressed the treasure on his own free king, so he was afraid that Li Heng would settle accounts after the autumn and do things with a superb means, several times almost pulled the poor prince off the horse.

If it weren't for the fact that Gao Lishi was trying his best to defend Li Heng in Li Longji's ears at that time, I am afraid that things would have developed to the point of being out of control, but for Li Linfu, the old Wang Ba Li Mao, he also loved and hated, this person is also well-behaved and has his own capable side when he does things in the court, compared with Song Jing and Zhang said before, Zhang Jiuling These famous ministers are a little more sophisticated in private, but no one is perfect, and the reason why his name as a traitor can be stinked for 10,000 years is not groundless. This old guy's control of power is almost to the point of perversion, except for himself, the emperor, there is no tolerance at all, as long as those talented people who are a little uplifted, he will immediately change his tricks to suppress people.

And at this moment, looking at the court, except for Zhang Jiuling, who was still far away in Silla to deal with the local situation, it seemed that only Gao Lishi, who had big roots and deep roots, could suppress him. Li Mao sat in a sedan chair and soon came to the prison of Dali Temple, speaking of which he was not very strange to here, especially the old acquaintance Pei Yuan, who had eaten sweet and sour carp with him.

At this time, this old thing learned that the holy driver was coming, so he took the big and small officials to stand respectfully in front of the door of the prison of Dali Temple and waited, and Li Mao took the initiative to greet him with great courtesy after getting off the sedan chair. "Everyone, Aiqing, get up, Pei Qing has not been separated for two years, you have been sick at home many times before, but see you again today, how can you still be so strong! It seems that this Dali Siqing's position, you can still sit firmly for a few years! ”

"This? This...... Sage, you atone, Lao Chen was indeed ill and had to rest at home to raise him, isn't this just a few months ago when he was able to move, Lao Chen should die...... "Okay, I don't want to blame you, your Pei family and my Datang are meritorious, and it is reasonable for you to choose Mingzhe to protect your life when the incident suddenly happened?" Besides, you are not the only one who has done this, my Uncle Anxin Wang, who is still in bed at home? It's really strange that you old people have all coincidentally fallen ill when I ascended the throne, haha......"

Li Mao's words meant something, and the discerning people present naturally knew it as soon as they heard it, Li Yi, the king of Anxin, and those civil and military cadres in Beijing, such as Fu Menglingcha, Guo Zhiyun, and even Li Siye in the younger generation, Li Guangbi and others were all closed-door visitors, either suffering from emergencies or contracting serious diseases, and Li Mao seemed to be familiar with these for a long time! After all, Li Longji's imperial skills when he was young were still somewhat courageous, if there were not a few capable diehards to become his right-hand men, then how could the Tang Dynasty reach its peak in the hands of his old man?

But from Li Mao's heart, he doesn't care at all, and it's a bit self-deceptive, because these old men from the former dynasty casually brought out one, and they are all talents who can stand alone! Take the Gao Xianzhi who was stationed in Jiannan Road but repeatedly went to the book to raise him, if he couldn't use it for himself, Li Mao couldn't be comforted even when he slept and dreamed.

But when it comes to convincing people's hearts, it still can't be achieved overnight, you have to moisten things and take your time silently, after all, people's hearts are flesh and blood? Li Mao was confident that as long as he did enough of Corporal Lixian's efforts, he didn't believe that these old things would still knock on Li Longji at all! So after a brief exchange with Pei Yuan, he immediately walked into the prison, as for the few thieves who entered the prince's mansion last night and wanted to save people, in fact, most of them had already been killed, and Li Mao deliberately said that the children of the crown princess Wei and Li Heng were all executed, which was really just to scare him as Gao Lishi thought.

No matter how ruthless Li Mao's heart is, he still can't attack women and children, especially Li Heng's wives and children, who they all know and have a relationship with. At this moment, he strolled to a luxurious cell, and saw that both the bed and the food in it were first-class luxury, so he turned around with a little relief and nodded to Pei Yuan and said, "Open the door, and then you all go out and wait first, I want to say a few words to the third sister-in-law alone......"

Li Mao's words just fell on the scene of everyone except the five black-guarded cold-blooded Gao Lishi walked out one by one, and when Li Mao slowly walked into the room, four or five handsome women immediately bowed to him who knelt down a little tremblingly, and the crown princess Wei Shi that Li Mao knew then slowly knelt down, but before she could bend down, Li Mao took the lead in helping people up.

"Third sister-in-law, don't do this, you guys should get up too! It was a helpless move to bring you here last night, and you must have heard that a thief broke into the prince's mansion last night to assassinate you, but fortunately, my guards made arrangements in advance, otherwise my sister-in-law and the children would ......."

"Uncle Eighteen, why are you here, is this a prison? The mother said you were going to put us in prison! Just as Li Mao spoke, Li Heng's eldest son Li Jian took his younger brother Li Quan, and his two younger sisters Yonghe, Yongmu surrounded him all in one go, although the ten-year-old child had the appearance of a little adult, but mentally he was still a little doll, pulling Li Maosi with an innocent face without the slightest fear.

"Don't be rude to the saint!" But after Wei Shi saw this scene, he was frightened, and hurriedly dodged away from Li Mao's side, and pulled all the children to his side to cover them. "Third sister-in-law, it's okay, Jian'er, Quan'er is my own nephew, my family doesn't have so many rules, but how can you say these things to the children?"

After Li Mao said a few words to Wei, she immediately pulled the two little girls Yong and Yongmu back to her side very kindly. "Did the girl sleep here last night? If you can't sleep comfortably, is it okay for Uncle Eighteen to change places for you, let's go to the palace to read and play with my brothers and sisters, Uncle Eighteen still has a lot of delicious and fun things there? ”

"Can't sleep well? Someone is always shouting at night, but is it scary? Eighteenth uncle, take us to the palace to see the saint and grandpa! Grandpa hasn't come to see us for a long time, and the mother said that Grandpa has gone to a far place, but he will come back to Chang'an soon! Tong Yan was unscrupulous, but every word the children said at the moment was like a knife that stabbed into the hearts of Wei and the princesses, so they just got up and knelt down again.

Wei Shi was even a little out of shape, and kowtowed to Li Mao again and again and prayed, "Sage, the slave family begs you to let them go, they don't understand anything, you can spare their lives for the sake of the same Li family's blood and blood, exile, distribution, and captivity...... The slaves have no complaints, they just want them to grow up in peace......"

"Third sister-in-law, what are you talking about, did I say that I wanted to hurt them? In fact, whether they can grow up safely depends on your attitude, not me! The assassins who were caught last night all confessed, saying that you know some details, do you see if it is ......" "No, no...... The slave family has never had contact with the outside world in the palace, how can the slave family be the person who commanded behind the scenes, but there are saints outside the palace and your guards are guarding, if you don't believe it, you can ask them, the slave family really hasn't taken half a step! ”

"Third sister-in-law, it's not interesting for you to say that, I let people guard the gate, but your Wei family is so powerful, and there are not a thousand but eight hundred people in Chang'an City, and finally my third brother, if they want to pass on a message to enter the prince's mansion, there must be a way!" Li Mao laughed as he spoke, and after finishing speaking, he didn't forget to turn around and glance at Gao Lishi again, and Gao Lishi immediately hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Wei Shi after he understood, "Crown Princess, you can tell the truth to the sage!" The saint is magnanimous and won't be able to recruit much, and even if you don't think about yourself now, you have to think about the children, right? His Royal Highness, his mercenary self-respecting rebellion against the imperial court is already a great rebellion, if it is a change of others, do you think this whole family can still spend so much time in the palace in peace? They are all saints, and he cares about the flesh and blood between his brothers......"

Gao Lishi bent over and reasoned with Webster for a long time, and then thoughtfully helped the person to the edge of the bed and sat down, I don't know if the old thing deliberately made his own mind to fool Li Mao's mind, or really only this way can dispel Webster's vigilance, anyway, what he said next almost made Li Mao vomit after listening to it.

"Crown Princess! Oh no, no, the old slave may have to change his name to Wei Niangniang in the future, and when you enter the palace with a few ladies, then don't you have to live this good life like this? In addition, several children and saints will also be regarded as his own...... As for those thieves who are turning over and making trouble, if they really turn Chang'an City upside down, do you think things will be good, and in the end, maybe even Lord Wei's family will be implicated! Niangniang, as the old saying goes, good birds choose trees and perch on them...... Saint he ......"

"Manager Gao, are you saying that the slave family can still enter the palace?" After Wei said this, he actually took a look at Li Mao, and Li Mao finally escaped from the cell with his hands behind his back with a black face when he couldn't bear it anymore. But the cold-blooded who didn't have the eyesight to see it was like Wangcai before, and just after following him out, he opened his mouth and asked kindly. "The ...... that the sage just said about the high administrator" -- >
