For a mature official, killing people is the most inferior means, and if you do more of this kind of thing, you will have fewer enemies, but you will also have fewer friends.

Therefore, after countless assassins attacked Li Yifu, the main purpose was to kill Li Yifu's servants, sabotage his carriage, and obstruct his journey, which was also the purpose of gentleness.

10,000 yuan can buy many, many assassins, and the identities of these assassins can be varied, from the Tubo children who wandered in the Tang Dynasty to the scholars who were in the middle of the road and had an unsustainable life.

Just like the warblers in any street and alley in Chang'an and Luoyang, from the dancing girls from Qiuzi to the famous ladies of the past, they belong to the rapidly changing Tang society.

This is where the sun does not shine in the prosperous era, and the higher the tall buildings in the prosperous era, the greater the shadows.

Li Zhi's whole person has become a little bloated, since the attack of the wind, his activity time has been greatly reduced, the more he lacks activity, the lack of good mood, the more he does not like to move.

The bear is fatter than he is.

Li Zhi doesn't like to move, and the giant bear doesn't like to move even more.

The early morning of autumn is Li Zhi's favorite scene, bathed in the cool sun, Li Zhi has a pair of pears into the mouth of the giant bear, and sometimes he also nibbles a bite.

His eyesight is not as good as before, and he is a little blurry when he sees in the distance, but whether it is wind disease, obesity, or poor eyesight, it does not affect him to be the emperor.

Li Yifu knelt outside the blanket and put his head on the ground without saying a word.

In the past, the prime minister did not need to bow down when he saw the emperor, and he could show the dignity of the prime minister with a wave of his hand.

Now that it's not done, Li Zhi thinks it's better to let the prime ministers kneel and bow, so as not to make these people pampered and arrogant.

Li Zhi stuffed the bitten pear into the giant bear's mouth, watched the giant bear swallow the pear, and said indifferently: "You said you encountered an assassination?" ”

Li Yifu hurriedly said: "Six times a day. ”

Li Zhiwan smiled, pointed at Li Yifu and said, "Ah, yes, you should be hated by so many people, so many people want to kill you." ”

Li Yifu looked up at the emperor and said, "Since His Majesty ordered Weichen to supervise Chang'an, Weichen has become a person who everyone has to condemn. ”

Li Zhi looked at Li Yifu and said, "Yun Chu has already left Chang'an, right?" ”

Li Yifu said: "All the people in Chang'an who participated in this grand ceremony have left Chang'an. ”

Li Zhi said again: "In this way, your six assassinations a day should have nothing to do with Yun Chu." ”

Li Yifu was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why Wechen was assassinated was that after the edict to take over Chang'an was issued, except for Yunchu, Wechen couldn't think of anyone else who would think about causing Wechen and death." ”

Li Zhi smiled and waved his hand: "If Yun Chu wanted your life, you would have died a long time ago, don't forget, he used to be an excellent commander, a person like him, if he doesn't move, he will definitely make a thunderous blow when he moves, and he won't give you any chance to live."

You have offended a lot of people over the years, and someone wants to take your life, I am not surprised at all, so be careful. ”

Li Zhi's words made Li Yifu stunned, what the emperor said was not bad at all, Yun Chu, who was born in the military, if he really wanted his life, he would definitely not send some assassins disguised as horsemen and passers-by to kill him.

Yun Chu has some warriors in the army who are willing to sacrifice their lives for him, and once these people make a move, there is absolutely no such thing as giving up halfway.

He is still alive until now, and it should not be from Yun Chu's hand.

Li Zhi stood up with difficulty, put his hand on Li Yifu's shoulder and said: "Yun Chu is stronger than you think, he just puts all his thoughts on Chang'an City, and has no idea of competing with you for power and profit, this is your luck and my luck."

Li Jingxuan, Wei Dongcheng came back and said that Yun Chu's original intention has not changed, Chang'an City is still the capital of the Tang Dynasty, except for the people, the government has become rich, and the rest have not changed much.

Let's go, find more guards to leave Luoyang as soon as possible, and go to see Chang'an for me, and see how rich it is. ”

Li Yifu looked up at the emperor and wanted to speak, but saw that the emperor sat down again and leaned his body on the giant bear's body, looking tired and seemed to be about to fall asleep again, so he didn't say any more doubts in his heart, and left Ziwei Palace backwards.

Li Zhi squinted his eyes and rested for a stick of incense, then said to Zuo Chun, who was standing not far away: "Why was Li Yifu assassinated?" ”

Zuo Chun arched his hand and said: "I heard that someone issued a reward of 10,000 yuan in the Luoyang Guild to take the life of Li Yifu, and the old slave has not found out who released the dark flower for a long time.

However, this dark flower is different, even if you don't kill Li Yifu, you just get hurt, you still have money.

The old slave wants to ......"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "If you know where to get the money, you can continue to track it down, right?" If it works, do it. ”

Zuo Chun's heart sank when he heard this, he really didn't expect that the emperor would agree to the ridiculous idea he deliberately proposed.

You must know that Li Yifu was already the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and he was appointed as the Zhongshu Shilang, the three products under the Tongzhongshu Sect, and the Marquis of Guangping County.

In order to examine some assassins, can they also put knives on such a noble person?

Li Zhi saw that Zuo Chun was a little hesitant, so he asked softly, "What are you worried about?" ”

Zuo Chun prostrate on the ground and said, "The old slave is thinking about how to do things according to His Majesty's arrangement. ”

Li Zhi said indifferently: "You didn't think about it before. ”

Zuo Chun sighed, prostrate on the ground and said, "Please have mercy on Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhi put his hands in his sleeves and looked at Bishan in the distance and said softly: "When you are old, stay in the palace to retire, and recommend someone to me to replace you." ”

Zuo Chun really wanted to recommend the Hundred Cavalry Division to be the governor of Chang'an and Luoyang, but when the words came to his lips, he became the eunuch Ruichun standing on the other side of the Ziwei Palace.

Li Zhi beckoned to Ruichun to come over, and after the middle-aged eunuch came over, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Your master recommended you to be the governor of the Hundred Cavalry Division, can you be promoted?" ”

Ruichun frowned and looked at Zuo Chun kneeling on the ground and said, "I am willing to repay Your Majesty with death." ”

Li Zhi nodded in appreciation, and then returned to the place where the giant bear was sleeping again, rested his head on the giant bear's neck, and closed his eyes again.

Ruichun stood up, came to Zuo Chun's side, slowly pulled out the horizontal knife and said, "Apprentice send the master a ride." ”

Zuo Chun wanted to argue for a few sentences, but suddenly remembered the Han King Li Yuanjing, the King of Wu Li Ke, the Baling Princess, who was watched by himself and burned to ashes, as well as the curses that the eldest grandson Wuji issued to the emperor before he died.

In the end, he stretched his neck so that his apprentice could go under the knife.

Ruichun's martial arts are very good, he cut off Zuo Chun's neck with a knife, and before waiting for his head to land, he covered his head with a leather bag, as for Zuo Chun's broken neck, it has been pasted with thick mulberry paper by another eunuch, and there is not much blood flowing on the gold bricks outside the Ziwei Palace.

The giant bear smelled the strong smell of blood, and couldn't help but look up, and was slapped on the nose by Li Zhi, and the giant bear immediately lay down obediently, and showed his soft belly, so that Li Zhi could rely on it more comfortably.

Li Zhi was obviously asleep, and although there were always locust leaves falling on him, no one dared to step forward and cover him with a blanket.

Fortunately, the giant bear's body is very hot, and the fat body can also block the cool wind in autumn for Li Zhi.

Li Hong only learned the news of Zuo Chun's death after half an hour, he only paused for a moment, and continued to wait for the imperial doctor to diagnose Pei Wanying's pulse, in the past few days, Pei Wanying's body was hot, her palms and feet were hot, and it was extremely difficult to fall asleep, and it seemed that there were signs of pregnancy.

The imperial doctor's hand was taken away from Pei Wanying's wrist, and he thought for a moment before saying to Li Hong: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the crown princess is just a spleen and stomach disorder, not a pregnancy image. ”

Li Hong nodded and said, "The Lone King knows. ”

After sending the imperial doctor away, Li Hong said to Pei Wanying, who was disappointed: "It's okay, if you are pregnant, you can't go to Mount Tai." ”

Pei Wanying said: "I'd rather not go to Mount Tai this time." ”

Li Hong smiled: "It's always good to see more and listen more." ”

Pei Wanying said proudly: "I'd rather wait for His Highness to go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen." ”

Li Hong smiled and waved his hand: "I won't do anything about Mount Tai sealing Zen, it's just a futile thing." ”

After speaking, Li Hong helped Pei Wanying to the bed, stroked her face and said, "Have a good rest, I'll deal with some things." ”

Looking at Li Hong's back, Pei Wanying wanted to stop, but she finally held back the words in her mouth.

This is an almost perfect candidate for a husband, handsome, tall, gentle, and powerful, and there is nothing to find fault with except that he does not love her.

Xu Jingzong recently felt a cold wind and locked himself in an airtight room with no one to see.

Li Hong came over and opened the door, doors and windows, and said to Xu Jingzong, who was lying on the bed: "Keeping it bright, ventilated, and drinking more hot water is the best way to treat wind cold." ”

Xu Jingzong was helped to sit up by the concubine, coughed and said, "Who said that?" ”

Li Hong said: "Sun Shenxian said. ”

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "In this way, we will act according to the law." Recently, the old man was pranayama in the ashram, I wonder what is going on outside? ”

Li Hong found a chair near the window and sat down, and said to Xu Jingzong: "Li Yifu is in danger six times a day. ”

Xu Jingzong didn't think about it and said, "Yun Chu did it." ”

Li Hong frowned and said, "If the master did it, we should be attending the funeral of Li Yifu at this time."

Not to mention anything else, in the way of assassination, the master has the ability to stand alone in the world. ”

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "In line with the principle that whoever benefits, whose suspicion is the greatest, Yunchu has the greatest benefit, so they must have arranged someone to do it." ”

Li Hong frowned and said, "I said, Li Yifu is alive and well." ”

Xu Jingzong said: "The old man also said that they did it at the beginning of Yunchu, and there is no room for maneuver.

Also, Yun Chu's failure to kill Li Yifu shows that he is already a little scheming at a young age.

The prince should not forget, Li Yifu is only the position left behind by Chang'an temporarily, according to the time, there is a total of eight to ten months of time, as long as this period is delayed, they will win, killing Li Yifu will only make your father and queen mother furious, and it will not do him much good, so it is true wisdom not to kill. ”

After listening to Xu Jingzong's explanation, Li Hong said: "What if it is replaced by Li Jingxuan?" ”

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said: "Li Jingxuan's son-in-law is now serving in Chang'an, and I heard that the person who joined the company is only a small official, but Yun Chu did not arrange any fixed errands for him, but just let him start from scratch.

We know, and Your Majesty naturally knows, so Li Jingxuan is unreliable in dealing with Yun Chu's affairs.

Your Royal Highness, since Yun Chu opened the official mouth of Chang'an, there should be someone from the East Palace who belongs to Chang'an. ”

Li Hong shook his head decisively and said, "No, everyone in Chang'an is at the disposal of Lone." ”

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Hong with an inexplicable expression and said: "This is not what His Highness should say, there is a limit to trust, after all." ”

Li Hong looked at Xu Jingzong and sighed: "Three moments ago, my father killed Zuo Chun. ”

Xu Jingzong suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up, looked at Li Hong with a nervous expression, and said, "Your Highness, don't laugh. ”

Li Hong said: "The body and the head are separated, and the dead can't die anymore." ”

"Why did Your Majesty kill Zuo Chun?"

"It is said that the father ordered Zuo Chun to send someone to stab Li Yifu, Zuo Chun hesitated, and then was beheaded by his father."

Xu Jingzong's face changed greatly, and he said to Li Hong: "Please Your Highness immediately cut off all collusion with Li Yifu." ”

Li Hong frowned and said: "Li Yifu is the henchman of the queen mother, and his father has always been kind to him. ”

Xu Jingzong said loudly; "Isn't Anzhi jealous?"

Li Hong nodded and said, "In ten days, the master will arrive in Luoyang, and then the Lone will personally inquire." ”

Xu Jingzong said with some frustration: "Your Highness, no matter what, first cut off the transactions we made with Li Yifu, if it is late, the old minister is worried that it will cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction."

This time, His Majesty even killed Zuo Chun, which shows that the anger hidden in His Majesty's chest has reached the point where it cannot be contained.

His Royal Highness is the crown prince, and he must not lose a big one because of a small one, and for the sake of some interests, it will cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction with the prince. ”

Li Hong hesitated for a moment, and finally reluctantly said to Xu Jingzong: "Okay, as the Qing family said, what should be abandoned should be discarded, anyway, the lonely is still young, and there is time to rearrange." ”

Xu Jingzong took a long breath, rubbed his hand on his chest and said: "Your Highness, this time you go to Mount Tai, Your Highness had better live in the military camp under the command of Yun Chu, and you have nothing to do. ”

Li Hong spread his hands and said, "Why is this?" ”

Xu Jingzong came to the window, looked at the falling leaves of the locust tree and whispered: "I can't tell, the old minister's heart is very uneasy, very uneasy." ”
