Zhu Fan and Zhu Di glanced at each other in surprise, this Li Qi was tied up without the slightest complaint, and when he heard the name of Jinyiwei, he was still happy. Zhu Fan pointed to his forehead inquiringly, meaning that the fourth brother was too ruthless with your bricks, and you beat this dignified Korean prince stupidly?

Zhu Di rolled his eyes, ignored Zhu Fan, and turned to Li Qi behind the curtain and said, "You want to report and confess?" If you want to confess anything, say it now. When the official learns about it, he will immediately proclaim the Holy One. ”

Unexpectedly, Li Qi did not cooperate at this time, and frankly said that he had to see His Majesty or the prince before he could face him. After all, what his father was planning, the less people knew, the better. Are these people in front of him really Jinyiwei or two words, if they are sent by the enemy, wouldn't they just put their father to death?

It's easy to say, Li Qi just didn't let go, and the angry Zhu Fan lifted the long stick and said angrily: "Fourth, you don't have to talk to him more, I have to convince people with virtue before he is willing to confide the truth......"

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and was about to rush towards Li Qi.

Li Qi was still wondering what it meant to convince people with virtue, but he saw that His Royal Highness the Second Prince was actually holding a stick with the word "De" tattooed on his head, and he was about to beat himself violently, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Feelings are this "to convince people with virtue". Speaking of which, the second prince would actually do such a kidnapping thing?

The stick in Zhu Zhang's hand was used to plug the gap when he set fire to the Battle of Shanhaiguan and stunned many Mongolian generals in one go. Because there were so many prisoners that night, they were recorded for military merit, and when they returned, they were rewarded with official positions.

It is because Zhu Fan loves this "stick with virtue" like a treasure, and after he comes back, he has people tattooed a "virtue" word on the stick, and he must not leave the left and right on weekdays. Li Qi didn't know the allusions, but felt that Zhu Zhang, with the respect of the second prince, actually carried a stick and was really unseemly.

However, seeing that it was Zhu Zhang, Li Qi's eyes lit up again: after a few questions, he thought that the other party was pretending to be Jinyi Wei to deceive him. Therefore, he shouted to Zhu Fan in surprise: "Second prince, second prince, take me to see Your Majesty, I have something important to do to show Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Di saw Zhu Fan rushing out, and hurriedly came out from behind the curtain and stopped the reckless second brother. Li Qi was even more delighted when he saw that Zhu Di was also there, and said vigorously that he wanted to face His Majesty Chen. Zhu Di thought about it, and when he saw him so earnest, he thought that he couldn't delay, so he ordered him to go down, take Li Qi, and go all the way to the imperial city.

Along the way, after hearing Li Qi's revelation, the reason why Yushitai couldn't find out was because the household department hid all the problematic files behind, Zhu Fan said angrily: "I said that those people have no flaws, and they really did something!" ”

"How dare you fool us like this, aren't you afraid of bullying the king?"

"It's just that the copywriter position has been reversed, but it's not a bully." Zhu Di said. Then he asked Li Qi: "Moving the file back is just an expedient measure to delay time after all." Aren't they afraid that when I find out, the incident will happen directly? ”

"They've got a way to deal with it." Li Qi's face was a little ugly. "Your Royal Highnesses, can you be faster, if it's late, maybe it's a big mistake."

If he waited for the nobles to arrive at the mansion, his father successfully connected the civil and military sides...... At that time, according to the history books of the old dynasty, even if the Li family does not die, it will have to shed its skin.

The carriage was galloping, and he arrived at the palace gate, Zhu Di and Zhu Fan took Li Qi into the palace to face the saint, and when they arrived at the palace, Lao Zhu was discussing the details of the new tax system with Liu Bowen, Zhu Su, and Zhu Biao.

Seeing Zhu Fan and Zhu Di enter the hall, Lao Zhu's face was overjoyed: "The second and fourth." Come on, come on, come to the palace so early today, isn't there something that has been found out about the case? ”

Zhu Di was about to speak, but Zhu Fan hurriedly said: "Back to my father's words, although nothing has been found in the household department, but the son has found another way and has found some clues!" ”

said, and told Li Qi about kidnapping in the morning and making him confess one by one.

Lao Zhu's face became ugly, and Zhu Su and Zhu Biao also looked at the second brother speechlessly. Zhu Di next to him also looked helpless, he wanted to help the second brother take it lightly, but unexpectedly, the second brother died by himself and told the beating of people as a merit...... Seeing that Lao Zhu was about to go crazy, Zhu Biao hurriedly opened the topic and said: "Dad, since Li Qi said that he has something to play, it is better to listen to what he wants to say first." ”

"Maybe what he wants to report is the crux of the case, but I don't know?"

"Just know these younger brothers who are protecting you!" Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Biao, but he didn't refute his face, and in Zhu Zhang's puzzled face, he waved his hand and asked Li Qi to come in. Li Qi still had a big bag on his forehead, and when he saw Lao Zhu, he immediately knelt down and said: "Minister Li Qi, meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed!" ”

"Get up." Li Qi is a nerd-like reader, far from the type of courtier that Lao Zhu values, so Lao Zhu is not familiar with this prince, and he only waved his hand when he saw it. "Li Qi, I heard that you have something urgent to tell us, let's listen here now, you can talk about it."

Li Qi bowed down and successfully met the emperor, so Li Qi had nothing to hide, and told the many officials he heard at home to find Li Shanchang, and Li Shanchang's strategies for these people.

"Bang!" Lao Zhu listened, and suddenly slapped the armrest of the dragon chair, shocking Li Qi, who was still talking. "Good Li Shanchang...... actually took the official weapons in our court to collude with hundreds of officials...... Did he want to test if our sword was sharp? ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Qi was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he didn't want to hurt his father's head. "My father is just unwilling to be lonely and wants to make a comeback...... There is no rebellion! ”

"Besides, this time has not yet been completed, at noon today, my father will be at home to invite the princes and ......nobles of the court."

"I also hope that Your Majesty can issue an order to stop it, and don't let my father really show favor to the princes...... Li Qi only wants his father to be an idle prince, but he can't bear to see his father behave like this and see evil to His Majesty! After speaking, he knelt down to Lao Zhu in an almost five-body posture.

Zhu Su looked at this Korean prince, and said in his heart that Li Shanchang's family is really a father and a son. When the father plans to return to power, when the son goes out early in the morning to think about the informant...... However, it is also understandable that Li Shanchang's actions are still in the stage of "planning" to put it bluntly, and there is no substantive behavior. Therefore, even if Lao Zhu is convicted, at most he will be punished behind closed doors.

If Li Shanchang really invited the nobles to the banquet, he also became a middleman, and hooked up the civil and military officials...... At that time, I really touched Lao Zhu's reverse scales. With Lao Zhu's temperament, I'm afraid that ten times of death is not enough.

This Li Shanchang is really bold. is also because at this time, Lao Zhu's four major cases have not been opened once, and when Hu Weiyong was rectified, he also summarized what he said about the evaluation of the four major cases in later generations, as well as the exhortations of the prince and Queen Ma, and did not make a big killing.

This made Li Shanchang and others feel that the emperor was benevolent and deceitful, and he was nostalgic for the old feelings. In this case, it's better to try to fight, it's really not good, isn't there a Danshu iron coupon at home that can take a life.

In the hearts of Li Shanchang and these court officials who used to be officials, maybe they also look down on Lao Zhu a little, and feel that Lao Zhu is born with mud legs after all, and these twists and turns in the court may not be as good as them, the old fritters of the Yuan Court. Moreover, this buying and selling shop is not a capital crime, at most it is to displease the Sacred Heart, and go home to be at home.

Although there are no shops, if you can get so much land from the hands of the nobles, it is a big deal to go home and study the heirloom, as long as the family industry is still there, and then teach a talented child, there will always be a day when you will enter the court and become an official again......

That's all there are left in the world, even if you don't become an official, your family can do it, right?

Everyone's abacus is crackling.
