Chapter 201: Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots
Zuo Linghong's initial plan was to prevent Wanning and the people of Yuelai Inn from entering Beijing, not only to prevent it, but to make it disappear.
But he thought about it again, Li Wanning and the people who reported the news should have set off from Liangzhou to the capital one after another, and Li Wanning and the others walked slower, and they might be almost in the capital. Thinking of Gao Junming transferring troops outside the city, is he answering her?
The Gao family and the Li family used to get married, could it be that the young master of the Gao family went to Liangzhou recently?
He turned his head and ordered, "Shang Lin, you will inquire later, is the young master of the Gao family in the capital in the near future?" Did you go to Liangzhou? ”
"Yes."
The messenger present knew that Wan Ning was accompanied by someone, but he didn't know if it was the young master of the Gao family that Zuo Da was talking about, so he didn't say anything.
Maybe Zuo Linghong doesn't need to send someone to inquire at all, he just wants to make the final decision.
"Master, the little one is going now?"
"Wait a minute, I still have something to tell you."
If the young master of the Gao family really went to Liangzhou, Gao Junming would have reservations about himself. It can be seen that he is not a person in a boat, or he has never really become a person in a boat.
Master Gao just needs himself, and there is a huge difference between him and his official position. How could Gao Junming put himself on an equal footing with him?
He seems to understand that he is only a dependent character.
I'm afraid that the young master of the Gao family is not far from Chang'an City at this time, and has been received by his father. Being able to transfer troops means that the emperor must have known about this matter and agreed to it. Otherwise, Gao Junming has no right to transfer troops outside the city.
The forces of many parties are gathered here, and they can't do it, they don't talk about it if they have no chance of winning, and they obviously don't recruit themselves. Since Li Wanning can't be stopped from returning to Beijing, let's wait for her to return to the palace before starting.
Zuo Linghong returned to his seat, looked up at the person who reported the news, and instructed Zuo Shanglin: "Prepare a good room for this little brother to rest for a few days, and after a few days, bring enough coils and then return to Liangzhou." ”
"Yes, sir."
The other party arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Zuo." ”
After the person who reported the news went out, Zuo Linghong said: "Li Wanning recognized that I was the murderer of her father, and I came to the emperor's side to avenge her father, what countermeasures do I need to think of now?" Doesn't the harem have its own people? People are just that. I am not afraid of her father, let alone a little girl. After some thought, he spoke so lightly.
"My lord, the little girl in your mouth is afraid that there will be the emperor's support! Wouldn't that make your accusations convicted? Maybe the emperor is looking forward to your move at this moment. ”
Zuo Linghong knew that what Shang Lin said was reasonable, but because of this, he needed the ladies of the harem, and they had reason to hate Li Wanning.
Li Wanning went to Liangzhou this time, and probably also had some evidence that they thought they had. Otherwise, there is no reason to escort people back to the capital. As long as Li Wanning dies and there is no conclusive evidence, will the emperor wronged his own officials? Besides, there is a harem as a cover, the situation has developed so far, as you said, the emperor does not hate Li Wanning, and the competition between women is just jealous. Go for it. ”
"But—" Zuo Shanglin still had concerns.
"What? If you have something to say, say it. ”
"Even if Li Wanning dies, everything will be fine. But what about the young master of the Gao family? The two have a deep relationship, Li Wanning has three longs and two shorts, and the young master of the Gao family will also investigate to the end. ”
Zuo Linghong was calm: "Hmph! Young master of the Gao family, is he going to pull his father into the water? His father is an expert at fanning the flames, and the emperor, does Li Wanning really not complain about the emperor belittleing her father's officials? Li Zhenghang was demoted, and it has nothing to do with his own official. You can do it. ”
"Yes."
Late at night that day, Gao Ziang led the large army back to the capital. In order not to affect the others, everyone rested in the Li Mansion. Everything will be decided after dawn.
finally returned to her home, although it was only three or two hours, Wanning slept soundly.
After a short reunion, early the next morning, Wanning brought people into the palace, and Gao Ziang returned to Gaofu.
All the people who were escorted from the Yuelai Inn in Liangzhou were locked up in the prison, which was an order of the emperor, and there were many people involved, and he had to investigate carefully.
This made Wan Ning feel a lot more at ease. As long as the emperor agreed to intervene in his father's case, he no longer worried about the day when there was no sunny sky. No matter how hard the others struggled, they couldn't make much of a wave.
And Gao Ziang, who returned to Gaofu, did not have such a good time.
Gao Junming has always believed that his son will not do anything out of line, as long as there are no major problems, he will let him make his own decisions, whether it is right or wrong, it will be borne by himself. Of course, he wants his son to be on his own and no longer dependent on others.
But this time he paid attention.
When Gao Ziang asked to accompany Wanning to Liangzhou again, Gao Junming knew that Wanning had found the emperor, but he didn't hear that she entered the palace to serve the emperor, and with Wanning's person, it would not be like this.
But how did they enter the palace, and the emperor was able to agree to her request. Later, I inquired and found out that a talented person had really been added to the harem, and the emperor liked it very much, and the most important thing was that he was still in the name of the Gao family.
He, the head of the family, didn't know about such a big matter, which made him very angry.
Before his son went to Liangzhou, he didn't tell him the truth. Or deliberately avoid something.
This time, his son asked for reinforcements outside the city, so he had to pay attention.
After Gao Ziang returned to Gaofu, he rested all day.
Throughout the day, the anger in Gao Junming's heart has not diminished. For the sake of Gao Ziang's tired days, let him rest well.
In the evening, he instructed the people around him: "Call the young master!" ”
"Yes, sir."
After a day's rest, Gao Ziang came to see his father with a hundred times more spirit: "Father, your name is son. ”
"You get on your knees!"
"What's the matter?" Gao Ziang asked suspiciously.
Gao Junming was very stern: "You still have the face to ask!" I can't control you now, can I? ”
"It's not." Gao Ziang obediently knelt down, "Father, you say." ”
"It's really grown up, and the wings are stiff, and you actually gave a woman to the emperor in private without telling you!"
"Father, it's just a fat powder girl, it's not a big deal, and this move is beneficial to our Gao family. Zhou Cairen is very favored, and the emperor is so wise. ”
"Eat inside and out! Wan Ning entered the palace with an obvious purpose, she pointed the finger at Zuo Linghong, don't you worry about the Gao family being implicated? ”
"Father, we will not be implicated, because you have done more than you demerited. From the beginning of the emperor's fight against the world, to his later accession to the throne, and then to the stability of the current court, you have made great contributions. The emperor knows it. Also, he asked his father to hide it for Wanning and his son. ”
Gao Junming turned his face and softened his tone: "Don't say anything like this kind of merit again." ”
"My son understands."
