In Li Qinzai's heart, Li Tao is a well-deserved hero.

It has nothing to do with blood and family affection, just by virtue of the decades-long feud between Li Tao and Yixue, he is a hero, not inferior to Huo Quai, who is a wolf.

Heroes cannot shed blood and tears.

Now the undercurrent of the Chang'an court is surging, one is to compete for the reserve, and the other is to suppress the heroes.

Li Qinzai can not participate in the struggle for the crown, but the suppression of the heroes cannot be ignored, and he must solve this trouble smoothly before Li Tao's class triumphs.

Now Li Qinzai's biggest confusion is whether the action of suppressing the heroes was instructed by Li Zhi.

If someone else is playing this little action behind his back, Li Qinzai has the ability to pull him out, and then slap him in the back and forth eighteen big mouths.

If Li Zhi also thinks that Li Tao is a master, there is no place to be reasonable, and he does not have the ability to rebel, and when Li Tao comes back, Li Qinzai can only persuade his family to resign and find a quiet place to retire and die well.

So, is Li Zhi an emperor who can't tolerate meritorious heroes?

The carriage left from the East Palace, and Li Qinzai sat in the car, lifted the curtain, and looked at the Taiji Palace passing by on the way.

The palace is deep, and the palace walls are majestic, which makes people inexplicably awe-inspiring.

Back at the Guogong Mansion, Li Qinzai had just gotten off the carriage and immediately noticed countless pairs of eyes staring at him nearby.

Well, it's the eyeliner of a certain force again.

It's another battle for the prince, and Li Qinzai is a little impatient.

I said a long time ago that I wouldn't get involved, there are still so many people staring at him every day, and there is no trust between people, right?

Standing outside the gate of the mansion, Li Qinzai took a deep breath, suddenly turned around and yelled at the dark place outside: "Look at me again, I really want to fight, it's over!" Get out! ”

There was a squirting in the shadows, and the eyeliner that was peeping in the dark couldn't help but startle, and then quickly disappeared without a trace.

Li Qinzai glanced coldly before beckoning his subordinates to carry him into the mansion.

doesn't care about the struggle for the reserve, Li Qinzai only cares about who is engaged in conspiracy behind his back to harm Li Tao.

It was difficult to find out the charm in the shadows, and Song Sen was not in Chang'an, Li Qinzai's eyes were black, and the feeling of being blind made him very unhappy.

The next day, Li Qinzai rarely got up early in the morning, and just after dawn, he was dressed and sat in the room in a daze.

After a long time, Li Qinzai called Steward Wu and ordered him to prepare a small gift, and he was going out to visit the elders.

The elder's surname is Liu, and his name is Renliang. A person that Li Qinzai doesn't like very much, he has said a lot of bad things about him behind his back.

Since it is impossible to find out who is engaged in a conspiracy behind his back, Li Qinzai can only rely on inference.

When Taizong went east to Goguryeo, Li Tao acquiesced in the soldiers to slaughter and loot the city, because of this incident, Liu Renliang did not know how many times he participated in Li Tao.

The grievances between the two have been as hot as the poop they just pulled, in short, they don't like each other.

If anyone in the court would target Li Tao like this, Li Qinzai thought about it, Liu Renliang was the most suspicious, after all, this was another opportunity to pull Li Tao off the horse, but if Li Zhi was a little narrow-minded, Li Tao would shed his skin if he didn't die.

Liu Renliang and Li Tao have been old enemies for many years, and he is a speech official who has always been annoying, so I have to say that Li Qinzai's suspicions are reasonable.

went out and got into the carriage, and under the escort of the subordinates, Li Qinzai and his party came to Liu Renliang's mansion.

Liu Renliang is not only a speech official, but also a clean official and a poor official.

People who stand on the moral high ground must sacrifice something after all, such as glory and wealth, otherwise how can they serve the public.

Liu Renliang's mansion is very shabby, and a pair of stone lions in front of the door are small and ugly, like a pair of pugs who have not fought for the right to mate.

The courtyard was cold, and even the door was seriously peeled off, and the old copper ring hung softly on the door, revealing a dying smell.

Li Qinzai was carried off the carriage, and when he saw the poor and desolate door, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Obviously, he is a member of the three grades of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and his life is as if he has suffered a disaster, it seems that in the eyes of Liu Renliang, morality and wealth are enemies who share the sky, and the two cannot coexist.

Feng Su stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a moment later, the door opened, and an old servant opened his dim eyes and looked at Li Qinzai outside the door.

After Li Qinzai greeted politely, he said his name and identity, and the old servant hurriedly smiled, and bent over to invite Li Qinzai into the door.

Sitting in the shabby and shabby front hall, Li Qinzai didn't wait long for Liu Renliang to arrive.

Li Qinzai hurriedly got up and saluted his juniors.

After Liu Renliang, who was not smiling, saw Li Qinzai, he didn't show the slightest smile on his face, but just nodded.

"First of all, congratulations to the Duke of Li Jun, Goguryeo fought calmly and to the death, which is admirable." Liu Renliang stroked his beard and said slowly.

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Uncle Liu praised it falsely, the kid is just a matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king." ”

Liu Renliang's eyes finally showed a smile: "After the first battle in Baijiangkou, the old man and Li Jungong no longer have a chance to work together, I heard that the battle outside the black bone city is extremely tragic, and the old man hates to die side by side with Li Jungong......"

Li Qinzai pulled the corners of his mouth, you are amazing, you are high.

It's a matter for you to die, don't pull me along?

"Uncle Liu must have a chance to die." Li Qinzai said sincerely.

Liu Renliang's expression froze, something was wrong with this......

"The Li family has never had much contact with the old man, I don't know ...... Li Jungong came to the door today."

Li Qinzai picked up a brocade box beside him, and in the box was a thin gift prepared by Steward Wu.

"There is nothing else, the kid just returned to Chang'an, and he has been absent from his elders and old people for too long, and he misses it very much, so he came to visit An."

Saying that, Li Qinzai raised the brocade box in his hand, and said with a smile while opening it: "A little careful, not respectful, please Uncle Liu smile...... it! What a bad old loser, it's expensive! ”

When he opened the brocade box, Li Qinzai was shocked to find that there were ten thumb-sized gems inside, some red and some green, and he was so distressed that his breathing suddenly stopped, and he subconsciously blurted out a sentence of scolding.

Before going out, he instructed Steward Wu to prepare a thin gift, and Steward Wu was quickly ready, Li Qin got into the carriage and didn't open the box to see, so he didn't know what Steward Wu was preparing at all.

Now that he opened it in front of Liu Renliang, Li Qinzai suddenly felt that he had suffered a heavy loss.

Originally, he was short of money, but the housekeeper actually prepared such a valuable gift for him......

It's just an ordinary visit, do you know what a "thin gift" is?

Liu Renliang's funeral is not worth sending such a valuable gem!

With a quick snap of his eyes and hands closing the brocade box, Li Qinzai squeezed out a smile at Liu Renliang.

"Laughing, laughing...... The people below don't know how to do things, it seems that they gave the wrong gift, Uncle Liu forgives his sins, boy, this is to ask people to buy, do you like to eat pastries? The kid knows that there is a family in Chang'an City that makes golden crisps, which is particularly authentic......"

However, the moment he opened the brocade box just now, Liu Renliang also saw the gems inside.

"Li Jungong's generosity, but he taught the old man to be respectful, not wrong, it was given to the old man, but the old man was disrespectful......"

Liu Renliang let out a rare laugh twice, and reached out to hold the other end of the brocade box.

Li Qinzai held the brocade box and refused to let go, his face was extremely ugly: "Uncle Liu, I really sent the wrong ......"

"That's right, the old man has nothing else to do in this life, he likes sparkling gemstones, which are particularly cute."

An old man and a young man each held one end of the brocade box and competed with each other, pulling to the limit.

Li Qinzai's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Liu, you are a clean official, and being honest as water is your style, how can you accept such a valuable gift?" ”

"The old man never accepts gifts from others, but the old man really doesn't need to be polite to your Li family's gifts."
