Chapter 537: Clan Lobbying
After Zi Nu left in a hurry, in the low bushes not far from the backyard, Li Qinzai and Song Sen slowly walked out.
Staring at the direction in which Zi Nu left, Li Qinzai looked thoughtful.
Song Sen walked into the bedroom without saying a word, checked it for a long time before coming out, walked up to Li Qinzai and whispered: "Uncle Li, she didn't move the stack of papers." ”
Li Qinzai snorted.
Song Sen hesitated for a moment and said, "If this girl really has other plans, our Tang Dynasty's three-eyed gun is the most attractive thing, whether she is sent by Tubo or Tuyuhun, she should not turn a blind eye." ”
Li Qinzai said calmly: "Maybe she found that it is not a good time to steal the drawings today." ”
"Uncle Li County, Xia Guan sent someone to keep an eye on her secretly in the past few days, and found that she hadn't even gone out of the door of the Assassin's Mansion, in addition to practicing dance every day, she was cooking, and it was natural to get along with other Maiko, there seems to be nothing suspicious, is Uncle Li mistaken?"
Li Qinzai looked at him with hurt eyes: "You don't believe me? Would you rather trust an outsider than me? ”
"Uh......" Song Sen's eyelids jumped.
Why do you speak this bloody sadomasochistic line so fluently?
"Of course the lower official believes you, the lower official will send someone to keep an eye on her until she shows her flaws."
"The pavilion also sent people to keep an eye on it, and that is the point, and the two countries' missions will definitely make trouble."
"Uncle Li can rest assured, half of the guys in the pavilion have been replaced by the Hundred Cavalry Division, and they are staring at them every day."
…………
Chang'an City, Taiji Palace.
Li Jingheng, the son of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, stood outside the palace gate for a long time, hesitating.
Yesterday, two fast horses entered Beijing, one of them carried a letter from Princess Honghua to Li Jingheng's house, the letter was earnest, and the tears were like rain, and the whole article was pouring out how the envoy of the Son of Heaven, Li Qinzai, bullied and looted in Liangzhou City, and was rampant.
Tuyuhun Khan and the queen and his wife were bullied so much that they dared not speak out, thinking that they were originally the identity of the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but when the sister of today's son, they were bullied by the little county uncle, and the couple thought of bad luck in the dead of night, so they hugged their heads and cried.
In short, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, Li Qinzai, committed a great crime in Liangzhou, which was so angry that people were angry, and the officials and people of Liangzhou and the neighborly Tuyuhun were bullied by him.
not only sent troops to loot and slaughter the Tuyuhun tribe many times, but also took the initiative to scold and teach her a lesson to the Tang Dynasty, and no one was extremely arrogant in his eyes.
Li Jingheng is the eldest son of the late Jiangxia King Li Daozong, speaking of Li Daozong, but he is a big man, he and Li Shimin are cousins, serious royal relatives, knighted Jiangxia King, and was later implicated in the rebellion between Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang, was exiled and died on the way.
Li Daozong was quite upright when he was alive, and when he was involved in the case of Fang's widow's love and rebellion, it was purely because the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang had a grudge against him and took the opportunity to take revenge.
After the fall of the eldest grandson Wuji, the Empress Wu was canonized as the queen, and in recent years, the Empress Wu has gradually sat in a stable position, and there have been rumors in the court, saying that it is to restore Li Daozong's title, as Li Daozong's eldest son, the restored title will naturally be implemented on Li Jingheng.
Therefore, the family business of the Jiangxia King in the past two years has gradually recovered, as long as the children of the family do not make any big mistakes, the family business can basically be revitalized.
So at this moment, Li Jingheng was standing in front of the palace gate very hesitantly, he was hesitating whether to help Princess Honghua speak, and meet Li Zhi to impeach Li Qinzai.
Princess Honghua is the daughter of Li Shimin, and before she was sent out to make peace, she had a deep relationship with the king of Jiangxia.
Li Jingheng and Princess Honghua have been reading and writing together since childhood, Princess Honghua is older than Li Jingheng, and the sister often takes him around Chang'an before kissing, and the love between sister and brother is quite deep.
When Li Daozong was involved in the rebellion case, Princess Honghua, who was far away in Tuyuhun, also went to Chang'an to defend Li Daozong and pleaded for him.
These are all affections, and there should be contacts between feelings. So when Princess Honghua was wronged, Li Jingheng couldn't pretend to turn a blind eye.
Standing at the palace gate for a long time, Li Jingheng finally gritted his teeth and decided to enter the palace to face the king.
When the eunuch led Li Jingheng into the Anren Palace, Li Zhi was flipping through the music in the hall, and at this moment he frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Jingheng saluted, Li Zhi came back to his senses, smiled at Li Jingheng, and said, "My cousin hasn't come to see me for a long time, and today is rare." ”
Li Jingheng lowered his head and said: "Treat the guilty minister, be ashamed to see the face of the sky." ”
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "There is no need to be like this, there is already a saying in the court about the events of the year, and your father is wronged, when Zhaoxue sees the light of day again, I will return your family's title to you." ”
Li Jingheng's eyes turned red, and he knelt down and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your deceased father, the minister does not ask for reinstatement, but only asks for your father's injustice to be known by Your Majesty, and the minister's wish is enough." ”
Li Zhi sighed with his eyelids, since he ascended the throne, in order to compete with the Guanlong group, he has done many things against his will, when he dealt with Li Daozong, didn't Li Zhi know that Li Daozong was wronged? He even knows the truth of the matter better than Li Daozong.
But in order to stabilize the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi still removed Li Daozong from the knighthood and exiled him, because this is bloody politics, and politics will inevitably have a price, and there will inevitably be abandoned children.
Now that the eldest grandson Wuji has finally fallen, but Li Daozong has not been able to wait for the day when Zhaoxue is rehabilitated, the power of the Guanlong group in the DPRK still exists, even if the title of King Jiangxia is restored now, Li Zhi will have to plan and act.
In terms of blood, Li Zhi and Li Jingheng are also cousins, despite all kinds of grievances over the years, the feelings of these cousins have been divided a lot.
After the two chatted for a while, Li Jingheng said his intention to enter the palace today.
According to Princess Honghua's letter, Li Jingheng counted Li Qinzai's sins in Liangzhou City one by one.
Li Zhi listened patiently at first, but as a result, Li Jingheng said more and more, his words became more and more sharp, and Li Zhi's expression also changed.
His eyes gradually became cold, but he still let Li Jingheng finish speaking with great dignity.
Of course, Li Jingheng was not stunned, observing Li Zhi's face as he spoke, seeing that his eyes were gradually cold, Li Jingheng's heart chuckled, and he knew that something was wrong.
Obviously, the Son of Heaven does not like to hear these words today.
For a person who is still waiting for the imperial court to restore his title and treatment, Li Jingheng should not come at all today.
So Li Jingheng, who had already counted most of Li Qinzai's crimes, suddenly stopped his mouth and said prostrately: "Your Majesty, the minister is just hearsay, and he has just told His Majesty about it, please don't mind Your Majesty." ”
Li Zhi's face finally softened a little, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Jing Heng, do you know how many clan relatives you have come to lobby me today?"
Li Jingheng said in surprise: "There are other clan relatives today......"
Li Zhi said with a smile: "That's right, they are all here to persuade me to change the envoys, and they are all counted Li Qinzai's crimes, haha, Li Qinzai, who is far away in the sky, has worked so many clansmen in Chang'an City to participate in the impeachment, which can be regarded as an honor." ”
