Fine snow drifted in Chang'an, and the front of Xingqing Palace Square was covered with thin lichens, and the whole world became a gray-white tone of light and dark.

The emperor was covered with a thin silk quilt, supported his head with his elbows, and let out a slight snoring sound. The horns slipped off his shoulders.

A graceful figure moved slowly to the ground, squatted in front of Li Longji, grabbed the silk quilt and tucked it back into him.

The Emperor suddenly stretched out his left hand and grasped her hand tightly. She struggled for a moment and leaned against his chest. A big hand with wrinkled skin but strength, and a small hand as white as a soft wattle, the two of them held tightly together. His eyes were imprinted with a demure and gentle beauty, and the fear and displacement of last night disappeared in an instant, and the beauty in front of him occupied the whole world.

"San Lang, it's still early, you can rest for a while."

The emperor got up from the couch and asked, "Are they here?"

"I've been waiting in the outer hall for a while."

"Okay, change clothes for me."

Yang Yuhuan took the yellow robe from the shelf in front of the couch, waited for the emperor to drape it on his body, and buckled the rope for him with his own hands. The emperor did not wrap his head, only a golden hairpin tied to the bun on the top of his head.

He walked to the front hall with his hands behind his back and shook his body, and when he walked to the corridor, he turned around, and the beauty was still standing in the hall with folded hands and smiling, as if she was sending off her husband who was on the expedition.

The four people in the hall stood with their hands down, and when they saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly lifted their robes and knelt on the ground.

"Excuse me."

The Emperor turned and sat down on the Hu bed, and said to them, "Sit down with you."

Those sitting were Li Linfu, Wang Qi, An Lushan, Qiu Zhang and Qiong, Li Linfu knelt in the front, and the three knelt in the back.

He bowed his head to Wang Qi and said, "What happened yesterday, let's end it like this, this matter has nothing to do with the crown prince, and it is ...... It also has nothing to do with Gonu. ”

"Sage," Wang Qi said, "there is one thing that Wang Qi does not dare to conceal."

"Say."

"Xu Bin, the mastermind of the Grasshopper case, has written letters to He Jian for more than ten years to recommend himself to poetry, and He Jian bought the Chang'an mansion and exchanged it for Sasanian gold coins and also fell into Xu Bin's hands."

Li Longji squeezed the armrest of the bed tightly with both hands, and then let go: "Don't climb, stop here."

"Then, the mastermind's relatives and families are in Chang'an, if they are judged as the crime of rebellion, ......"

"The mastermind has been convicted and judged, don't harm your family."

"There is also a mayfly on the run, this person's name is Dai Wang, and he is the envoy of Shule Town under the command of the Anxi Jiedu Envoy......"

The saint raised his palm and said in a loud voice, "I have said it, don't climb. Moreover, this Dai Liulang once repented, and he also had a meritorious service in saving the driver, but the merit could be folded, and there was no need to pursue it. ”

Wang Qi crossed his hands again: "It's just that this person committed a big case in Changsong County, Wuwei, Liangzhou, killing the county order and the Zhang family of the county Zhongwang clan."

"You only know that Dai Wang killed the Zhang family, but do you know that the Zhang family and his wife colluded with Changsong County to kill their brother Manmen, and the Xiao Gui brother and sister-in-law's family were killed by the local county Cheng? The diversion of the flow of the Luo River has caused disasters to the local area, and the local officials have been greedy for money and food for disaster relief, causing every household in a village to beg and starve to death, do you know this?" The Emperor suddenly became furious and excited: "You bastards, you have done such a unconscionable thing down there! But the retribution will come to my head! Damn it!"

The four of them hurriedly changed their sitting to kneeling, knelt on the ground, and confessed: "The sin of the ministers has frightened the saint, and the crime is dead!"

Yang Yuhuan heard the emperor's anger, hurriedly walked to the door of the apse, and called softly from afar: "San Lang."

Li Longji's angry and undulating chest gradually calmed down, and he glanced back at the door of the apse, and when he turned his head, the anger in his eyes had gradually faded.

"Brother Nu, the state and county officials are uneven, you are the right minister to blame, you must not be so relaxed and lenient in the future, causing the people to suffer."

Li Linfu finally found a chance to speak, knelt down with his chest and crossed his hands, and said: "The sage's teachings are extremely true, last year's examination class must have water, this is the minister's negligence. The ministers are preparing to re-examine and appoint the officials of the world this year, and all those officials who are in office who are slacking off in government and who are greedy for ink will be dismissed for their crimes, and will not be tolerated or accommodated. ”

"Hmm."

"Then there is the fact that the hearts of the people in the world are unpredictable, and there are treacherous people who change their faces and blend into the officialdom, hurting the people for a while. But the law is the law, how can you coerce personal enmity to cover the public law, if the people really have grievances, they can go to the higher level to sue, and if they don't work, they will sue Chang'an! When I come to the door of my Li Linfu's house to shout grievances, the ministers will also give them justice! The wind of revenge must not be fueled! Dai Wang's sin can be forgiven, but it is by no means justified for personal revenge, the saint is willing to forgive him, that is the grace of the saint, but he is by no means innocent!"

Li Longji nodded: "Since this is the case, you will send someone to Liangzhou to try the case, and appropriately reduce his sentence after the investigation is completed."

"Wow,"

Li Linfu crossed his hands again and said: "There is one more thing, today's rescue hero is the only one Zhang Xiaojing, how should the ministers reward the holy will?"

"I will tell him the credit for his merits, and you need not ask about it."

An Lushan, who was sitting behind, flashed a trace of surprise in his expression, shouldn't there be another person? Did this man go? Or did you deliberately avoid it? is a good Li Siye, but he didn't fall for this?

The emperor glanced at Wang Qi, who was lying on the ground, and said with a hint of ridicule on the corner of his mouth: "Wang Qi, you are fair and upright in Hexi, impartial, and never clinging to the party. Why did you become someone else's tongue as soon as you returned to Chang'an?"

The corner of Wang Qi's eyes secretly glanced at Li Linfu, who was kneeling in front of him, and lay on the ground again in shame: "The minister should die!"

Li Linfu still sat upright, looking up calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Wang Qi and An Lushan warned me in advance this time, it is indeed meritorious, you will stay in Chang'an in the future, stay by my side and serve as the general of Jin Wuwei, An Fatzi and Qiu Zhang Jianqiong don't be nostalgic for the lights of Chang'an, and quickly return to Pinglu and Jiannan, you all retreat."

"Well, the ministers are leaving."

The four of them got up from the ground and walked out of the front hall of the Calyx Tower with their hands crossed, and the emperor suddenly called out to Li Linfu and asked: "Brother Nu, is the prince now at the former site of Jing'an Division in front of Jinglongguan?"

Li Linfu raised his head and hurriedly said, "Where is the prince, how does the minister know?"

Li Longji closed his eyes tiredly and waved his hand, letting him go, and waited for these people to disappear from his sight before he ordered Gao Lishi, who was standing on the side, "Come with me to Jinglongguan."

……

Li Siye went to the Wild Taoist Temple of Xiuzheng Fang to invite a Taoist who was also a doctor and a Taoist, and invited him to his home to treat Dai Wang. At this time, the sky was about to dark, and the Taoist priest entered the door and saw that the courtyard was very broken, and he felt a little chilly. Li Siye stood behind him and urged, "Dao Chief, please."

He nodded with the medicine box in his hand and stepped into the threshold.

Although the Dao Leader was mentally prepared, he was still startled when he saw Dai Wang's face, and he timidly stretched out his hand to check his pulse, and then pinched his limbs and legs.

"How is it, Dao Chief, is his injury cured?"

"It's easy to treat, it's good to treat, it's just a large burn on the face, and the poor road is smeared with secret badger oil every three days, and then he is prescribed some medicine to tonify and reduce fire, and he can be cured by lying down for a month or two. But even if it is cured, the face will be completely ruined. ”

Li Siye said: "It's okay, as long as you can save your life."

"Ask the strong man to boil some hot water."

Li Siye went to the yard to fetch a bucket of water, cleaned the wok boiling water in the kitchen, and chopped dry wood to make a fire in the stove. Taking advantage of the time to boil water, he came to the hall again, and the Taoist chief had already taken out a small silver knife from the medical box and rubbed it back and forth on a piece of linen, and explained to Li Siye: "I have to scrape off the charred rotten flesh on his face with a knife before I can wash it with water, apply badger oil, and then bandage his face."

"In this way," Li Siye pinched his chin and said, "It's not as painful as once, can you ...... before you go under the knife?" Cut off the hamstring of his right ankle. ”

The Taoist priest was dumbfounded: "Why do you want to cut the tendons?" Are you trying to save people or hurt people?"
