Chapter 162: Unfathomable
Walking out of the Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai's brain was still buzzing.
He still can't figure it out, how could a good person be involved in the rights and wrongs of the court? And it was Li Zhi's will, forcing him to get involved.
I'm just a village teacher!
Whether it is the power of the court or the protagonist of the event, Li Qinzai has only one question at the moment.
Why did Li Zhi choose him to investigate this matter?
Give him a chance to fight monsters and level up?
No, Li Qinzai is a RMB player, backed by a big tree in the UK, and he doesn't need to be upgraded in an orange suit.
Let him do a big thing, improve his prestige in the court, and lay the groundwork for reusing him in the future?
It's possible, but it's too bloody and too middle-of-the-road.
From the perspective of Li Qinzai, a modern person, the unknown force in the court is originally a very middle and second thing.
The courtiers of this era stand clearly even if they stand in line, who I am against, who I support, the Golden Palace court will be clear, and it is difficult for unknown forces to be unclear.
In the film and television drama, when the court is fighting for the dagger, a minister suddenly turns against each other, and when he is done, he says "I'm sorry, I'm undercover".
It's almost impossible for this kind of scene to happen, and it's shameful to just imagine the picture.
So, where is the "unknown force" in Li Zhi's mouth unknown? What are the people?
Incomprehensible!
Li Qinzai suddenly felt that the county he had just sealed was not so fragrant.
Because it comes with a bunch of big troubles, which makes him very disgusted, if the knight is destined to ruin his peaceful life, he is willing to be a country man for the rest of his life.
Thinking that when he was leaving just now, Li Zhi patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Jing Chu, don't let me down." ”
This sentence made the cold hairs on Li Qinzai's back stand up, and it smelled like the lines of the underworld forces when they were trading.
…………
Hurriedly returning to the mansion, Li Qinzai ignored the subordinates who saluted along the way, and broke into Li Tao's study without even knocking on the door.
After listening to Li Qinzai's anxious narration, Li Tao's expression remained unchanged, and his cloudy old eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was dozing off.
Just when Li Qinzai was about to stretch out his hand to test his snort, Li Xian's eyes suddenly opened, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Sent by the Son of Heaven, you do what you are told." Li Tao said lightly.
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly: "But my grandson doesn't know what the Son of Heaven asked me to do, what is the investigation of unknown forces, there is no head and no brain, how can my grandson do it?" ”
Li Tao smiled and said: "Some of the words of the Son of Heaven should be listened to, and some of them are excuses, as a courtier, the first priority is to be able to quickly distinguish which words of the Son of Heaven are true and which words are excuses. ”
Li Qinzai frowned: "What does grandpa mean, the so-called visit of the Son of Heaven to unknown forces is actually a pretext?" What was his intention? ”
Li Tao closed his eyes and said lightly: "You can distinguish it yourself, Qinzai, you are already a county, and the Son of Heaven will reuse you in the future, The affairs of the court, you should also enrich your experience, ask the old man everything, If the old man dies, who do you ask?" ”
"Something to burn paper...... Ahem, Grandpa, aren't you still alive? ”
"Bastard!" Li Tao opened his eyes and glared angrily: "Believe it or not, the old man will send the white-haired person to the black-haired person now?" ”
"Off topic, Grandpa, off topic. What does the Son of Heaven mean, how much can you give a hint, otherwise Sun Er really doesn't care about causing trouble everywhere in Chang'an. ”
Li Tao suddenly smiled: "It's okay to cause trouble, Qin Zai, this time the old man allowed you to mess around." ”
Li Qinzai stared at his face in disbelief, but saw that Li Tao had a mysterious face, and there was no clue in his expression.
Snorted dissatisfied, Li Qinzai hates it when the big guys show this kind of profound face whenever they encounter something, Zhizhu is strategizing but I just don't say it, it's very hateful.
Seeing Li Qinzai's dissatisfied appearance, Li Tao couldn't help but smile: "Fool, you will do whatever the Son of Heaven asks you to do, you are a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, so you naturally have to listen to the words of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, thinking too much, but being mistaken by cleverness." ”
"In the court, which is not a human spirit killed in the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses? At your age, any careful thinking will be seen through at a glance. Although you are confused in front of your colleagues, be realistic in front of the Son of Heaven, and ensure that you will not suffer a big loss in the court in this life. ”
Li Qinzai realized.
He heard it, this was Li Tao mentioning him, Li Tao's lifelong experience as an official, maybe it was in these words.
At the same time, he also faintly understood Li Zhi's will.
In his previous life, when he was a social animal, whenever he met the leaders' dinners, when the leaders said to him, "You go out to buy a pack of cigarettes", but anyone with a normal IQ will never really go out to buy a pack of cigarettes and come back.
Therefore, Li Tao just said that some of the words of the Son of Heaven are true, and some are pretexts, and Li Qinzai now understands a little.
Tsk, it's really the art of language.
Yes, the so-called "unknown forces" may or may not exist. But if you say that as the Son of Heaven, you are confused about this, it is too insulting to others' IQ.
Li Zhi's real intention was to ask Li Qinzai to do something.
As for what to do and the purpose of making it, Li Qinzai didn't figure it out for the time being.
It doesn't matter, let's do it first, anyway, Li Zhi has him as a backer, and the British grandfather as a backer.
…………
In fact, as early as in Taiji Palace, when Li Zhi said that there was an unknown force in the court, the first picture that popped up in Li Qinzai's mind was the delicate and charming face of Empress Wu.
Others may not know, but Li Qinzai doesn't know as a traverser?
If history has not changed, this year is the time when Li Zhi's illness has worsened, and the government has been entrusted to Empress Wu for approval.
Every day, the queen is doing the emperor's work, can she have other thoughts?
Even if she didn't take the initiative to cultivate power, there were courtiers who attached to her power and automatically came over.
There are more people who come over, won't it become an "unknown force"?
This unknown force, it is impossible to say that they are rebelling, and it is the Li Tang royal family that is still loyal.
Saying that they are loyal ministers feels a little bit meaningless, after all, they are already considered "post-party", and they are very taboo.
The nature is very complex and not easy to qualify, but it can be seen that Li Zhi is already a little dissatisfied.
It happened that Li Qinzai appeared, and it happened that because Li Qinzai was knighted, there was a commotion in the court, and those people jumped up and down to find it uneasy, so Li Zhi put Li Qinzai on top.
What are you doing on top?
The visiting forces are fake, it's true to beat them well, anyway, you are the protagonist of the incident, and you are justified in standing out for yourself, and you are a well-known bastard in Chang'an City, so it's too normal to do some bastards.
No wonder Li Tao has been vague, no wonder Li Tao has a wicked smile on his face and allows him to mess around this time.
The old fox is an old fox after all, and he immediately saw through Li Zhi's true intentions.
That's about it.
Li Qinzai looked up to the sky and sighed, with a sad face.
Who am I messing with? Isn't it good to teach well in the country? Why did you come to Chang'an?
I miss Ganjingzhuang, and I miss my village girl......
vaguely understood what Li Zhi meant, and Li Qinzai didn't say a word,...... Fall asleep.
Big things are not as important as sleeping, if you don't nourish your spirit, where will you have the strength to deal with bad people?
Early the next morning, Li Sujie came to visit again.
The frustrated and disadvantaged prince seemed to recognize Li Qinzai's thighs and hugged him tightly.
In the front yard of Li's house, Li Qinzai entertained the prince to have a not sumptuous lunch, after all, Li Qinzai didn't get up until almost noon, and he was not suitable for big fish and meat when he just got up.
As for Li Sujie's taste, Li Qinzai can't control it, what Mr. eats, the disciple eats, and he is not happy to be rough.
A light lunch, Li Qinzai was a little tasteless, but Li Sujie ate very heartily, and several dishes of vegetarian dishes were swept away by him.
Li Qinzai watched him eat it up like this, and his eyes became more and more appreciative.
This young man is not only polite, but also sensible, and does not waste the food that the farmer uncle has worked so hard to grow.
"Have you eaten enough?" Li Qinzai asked with a smile.
Li Sujie stroked his stomach and sighed with satisfaction: "The disciple is full, thank you Mr. for the food." ”
"It's good to be full." Li Qinzai smiled with relief, then turned his head and instructed the maid: "Let the cook cook a few more meat dishes, and the big fish and meat will be served." ”
Li Sujie was stunned: "............"
Unexpectedly, after Mr. returned to Chang'an, he still didn't do personnel......
Seeing Li Qinzai eating meat, Li Sujie sighed helplessly.
"The disciple heard that Mr. was summoned by his father yesterday, but I don't know if my father has a will? If the gentleman needs the help of the disciples, please also instruct the disciples to go to the soup and fire. ”
Li Qinzai said lightly: "There is really something that needs your help." ”
Li Sujie's spirit perked up: "The disciple is willing to obey his work." ”
Li Qinzai put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "At the Golden Palace court meeting yesterday, who were those bastards who went out to advise His Majesty not to be knighted easily, can you find out?" ”
Li Sujie said without hesitation: "Yes, the disciple will submit the list to Mr. within an hour." ”
"Don't worry, besides, who is the one who takes the lead in admonishing? Which big man is he is in close contact with behind his back, can these be found out? ”
Li Sujie said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the monarchs and ministers of the court meeting broke up unhappily, and the disciples heard about it in the palace. So I made a special inquiry, and the person who took the lead in advising my father not to be knighted was the superintendent of the imperial history. ”
"And then? Who is behind Ma Zhen? ”
"Well, forgive the disciple for being incompetent, the disciple doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, after all, I am the prince, and it is taboo to be too attentive to the court after all...... However, the disciple was willing to introduce an official to the gentleman. ”
"What officer?"
Li Sujie's voice was lowered: "The official of the Hundred Cavalry Division." ”
Li Qinzai's eyes were stunned, and his expression fell into a stupor.
"Hundred Cavalry Division", a name that has been admired for a long time in the previous life.
Emperor Taizong himself founded a mysterious organization to monitor the subjects of the world. This organization has no light in sight, and if you ask the Son of Heaven face to face, you will not admit its existence.
But it exists.
To put it simply, it is a spy organization directly under the control of the Son of Heaven.
It is said that it ran through the Tang Dynasty for nearly 300 years and always existed in the Li Tang Dynasty.
Fortunately, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty knew the horror of this organization and put the reins on it, so the Baiqi Division only had the right to monitor and investigate, but did not have the right to interrogate and torture.
In comparison, it is much milder than the Jinyiwei and Dongxi factories in the Ming Dynasty.
