Beiya Prison is a very mysterious place, and even Li Linfu does not dare to investigate it easily.

But he can probe the Du family and reveal the clues.

For example, ten years ago, the Du family bought a maidservant who was the granddaughter of the Huangfu family, the biological mother of Li Yao, the king of light, one of the three concubines; Huangfu Ran, one of the five sons of Chunfu, was a student of Zhang Jiuling; Du Youlin received the favor of Zhang Jiuling and funded the publication of the Qujiang Collection......

Stringing together these details, combined with Xue Bai's actions and the fluctuating literary talent, everything is clear.

Chen Xuanli also met Li Linfu once, listened to these analyses, and finally nodded, and said, "I'll know when Han Yu is caught." ”

In this way, Li Linfu knew it in his heart and began to arrange.

Pei Dunfu sued Pei Kuan again, saying that Cao Jian, the general under his command, was wronged by Pei Kuan, and took out the evidence that Pei Kuan "crossed the East Palace and reprimanded the public opinion".

Solid, real evidence.

A letter from Pei Kuan who introduced Pei Dunfu to Wang Zeng, the prince of the prince, undoubtedly constructs the East Palace; In another letter, Pei Kuan personally wrote a handwritten letter complaining that the sage had appointed his brother slave as the prime minister for many years, and the road to the prime minister was handsome, and he reprimanded him for taking advantage of public opinion.

There was a lot of fear in the air, and even Yang Yan felt that he was in danger.

Yang Zhao, who had not been to the Right Minister's Mansion for a period of time, also asked to see Li Linfu again, holding a cane and dragging an injured leg, saying that he had fallen while riding a horse and delayed serving the Right Minister.

~~

Donggong's reaction was also very fast, and he directly wrote a letter of self-incrimination.

Li Heng defended himself that he had no selfish friendship with Pei Kuan, and he had never been to the East Palace, and the people in the East Palace had never seen him. Someone with a heart presented him with the salt method, he thought that this move might be beneficial to the community, expressed his support, and never thought of being used by Pei Kuan.

At the time of Wei Jian's case, he was "not in harmony" with Concubine Wei, but he was afraid that the situation in the northwest would be turbulent; Nowadays, it is "no selfishness", and only thinks that salt can replace miscellaneous taxes.

Because of his filial piety to the saints, he gave in step by step, giving up his personal feelings and friendships, but he always put the community first. It shows filial piety, weakness, and pity, but he is also compassionate and sympathetic to the people.

When the son has reached this point, if the saint wants to save it again, the people will not allow it.

~~

Liyuan.

A few letters were placed on the side of the imperial case.

A hundred dancers on the stage are singing "Debao Song" again, showing the Jiangnan style.

After the song, Li Longji put down the fold in his hand and said lightly: "Since the performance is over, bring them here." ”

~~

Goshidai.

No official dared to come to the official office of the Imperial Doctor again.

Pei Kuan looked up at the window, as if he felt that even the birds refused to rest in his courtyard.

Sadness came to his heart, and he picked up the pen and convicted himself on the folds.

He knew that he had also lost, and no one had been able to block Li Linfu's attack over the years. In this way, it can probably be reduced to the history of a certain place.

The fear of life will be in a year or two.

"Dr. Pei."

The door was pushed open, and an attendant walked in and said, "Tomorrow, there will be a banquet in the inner hall of Zichen, and the sage will invite Dr. Pei to watch the song and dance." ”

Pei Kuan became more and more sad, knowing that this was the last dignity that the saint gave him to the Hedong clan.

~~

"Really?"

Ten Princes' Mansion, Li Xuan was incredulous at first, and then his eyes bloomed with surprise, and said, "The sage really summoned me to the Daming Palace for a banquet?" ”

"Not bad."

"I, I learned dominoes, does it work?"

"Eighteen Lang just go to the banquet."

Except for the big banquet attended by all the clans, Li Xuan has not been summoned by the saint for many years.

He faintly realized that it was not long after the death of the Sanshu people, and the saint was already disgusted with him. The reason why snatching his wife made him laugh at everyone, although Yang Yuhuan is really beautiful, there seems to be a faint disgust.

This time, I think maybe it was Li Niang's words that played a role.

Li Yingyu's party constructed Yang Qian and Pei Kuan, so that the sage realized that Li Ying was really going to rebel back then, so he changed his opinion of him? It should be.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan rarely rushed to Princess Shou's house.

"Princess, go to the palace with me for a banquet tomorrow, you should show your affection for me."

Webster was embroidering with his head bored, raised his head, his face was dazed, and muttered, "Love? ”

"Remember, we're very affectionate." Li Xuan finally cheered up, "We want to let the world know that we are extremely affectionate." ”

~~

The next day, Daming Palace.

The inner temple of Zichen is built on Longshou Mountain, the terrain is quite high, surrounded by clouds, like a fairyland.

Today is a small banquet, and there are only a few more than 20 cases in the hall.

Li Jing took Wei's hand and sat down cross-legged on the seat together.

Sitting below him are Li Niang and Yang Huan; Sitting above him are Li Cong and Dou Shi; The top ones are Li Heng and Zhang Ting.

On the opposite side, sitting were Li Linfu, Yang Chen, Pei Kuan, Zhang Qiu and Qiong, Wang Jie, Xiao Jiong and other foreign ministers.

Li Cong had injuries on his face, a few scars, and he looked a little scary, he had always been silent and low-key, and he didn't want to come today.

The sage did not appoint the eldest son as the prince, and the hundred officials also felt that it was difficult to be a king if they were not good-looking, but in fact, there was never such an explicit rule.

Li Xuan thought to himself, this eldest brother is not honest.

The saint has not yet arrived, but the music and dance have already risen.

A drum sounded with a "bang".

A high-pitched voice suddenly sang.

"De Ding Su anti-body is Dong anti-Su Na also?! Decent bag?! ”

Li Xuan was startled, thinking that it was a ghost scream.

"It seems to be Jianghuai dialect." Li Niang said: "This is "Debao Song", and the sage has begun to listen to it again? ”

In fact, the saints did not come to listen, only let them listen.

The song was sung over and over again, and the crowd became more and more uneasy and overwhelmed. Especially Pei Kuan, sweat was pouring on his forehead.

Finally.

"Saints to."

With this shout, everyone hurriedly got up, only to see Li Longji wearing a head facing the sky and a flowing silk robe, pacing over, looking like an old fairy.

Yang Yan peeked and saw that Yang Guifei was not there, her back was cold, and her head was buried lower.

"What are you doing all this so dull?" Li Longji sat down comfortably and said, "I invited you to a banquet, you seem to have made a mistake, but who really made a mistake?!" ”

At first, it seemed to be a joke tone, but when the words reached the last sentence, the voice suddenly became higher.

Pei Kuan was excited, fell to the ground first, and held up a letter of self-guilt.

"The old minister is guilty!"

"What is Pei Qing's crime?"

"Minister...... Lie and ask the saint to tell the old man. ”

"Is it just a lie?"

Pei Kuan hesitated, his face became more and more bitter, and said: "The minister is still instigated by others, and the above table asks for the salt law, but I don't know that this law will harm the country and the people, and the minister will be guilty." ”

Li Longji drank a glass of wine and smiled without saying a word.

Gao Lishi asked, "Who instigated Dr. Pei?" ”

"Xue Bai."

"Xue Bai is just a child, why did he instigate Dr. Pei?"

"The minister doesn't dare to hide it, the minister only knows Xue Bai, and doesn't know anything else, so I implore Your Majesty to believe in the minister."

Gao Lishi asked again: "Don't know Han Yu?" ”

Pei Kuan was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "The minister doesn't know Han Yu, this matter is true!" ”

"Doctor Pei, this makes the old slave embarrassed." Gao Lishi smiled, glanced at both sides, and said, "What does King Shou think?" ”

Suddenly, Li Linfu and Li Heng's faces changed instantly, and their bodies seemed to stiffen.

Li Jing was extremely surprised, and he didn't know what to do.

On the contrary, after Li Niang encouraged her brother with her eyes, she spoke directly.

"Why don't you dare to say it? The Yan Salt Method was mentioned by Xue Bai, and Xue Bai was instructed by Han Yu behind it, as for who is behind Han Yu, can the imperial court still find out? ! ”

As she spoke, Li Niang raised her hand and pointed at Pei Kuan, showing the arrogance of the Tang princess, and said: "Pei Kuan, what do you want to collude with Han Yu?!" ”

Pei Kuan couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he bowed down to the saint again, and said: "The old minister has failed to live up to the holy grace, and I implore the old minister to become a monk." ”

"What does Pei Qing mean by this?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister and young man entered the office, and met His Majesty at the post of Lieutenant of Chang'an County; Later, for His Majesty, he covered the world's fields and tenants; Tune the Taichang Temple to manage the ritual music; the Ministry of Transfer, Correction of National Law; Moved to the province of books; put as a border commander, interviewed Hebei, guarded Fanyang, and expanded the border; Entering the Constitutional Observatory of the DPRK...... In this life, Lao Chen, from the crown of youth to the white head, has always been serving His Majesty, pouring his heart and soul, and now he is old and weak, only Buddhism has not been enlightened, and his wish has not been fulfilled. The old minister only invites him to become a monk. ”

In Pei Kuan's life, he was a magistrate, a Beijing official, a field official, a household official, a judge, a provincial official, a ministry official, a border marshal, and a military official...... Credits. His qualifications, he was pressed by others and couldn't worship the prime minister, but he was pressed by his brother?

Brother Nu has been the prime minister for more than ten years, can't he Pei Kuan?

Buttocks! Buttocks! Buttocks!

Every time he thought about it, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night. But it was because of this that he knew that if he lost power, his brother would kill him.

At this time, it was this anger, grievance, fear, dissatisfaction, disappointment, survival, all kinds of emotions mixed together, Pei Kuan's words later, old tears.

Li Longji slowly stood up, as if he was a little moved.

"Pei Kuan!"

Jingzhao Yin Xiaojiong immediately got up, pointed at Pei Kuan and scolded: "Dare to reprimand Chengyu!" What do you mean? You have worked hard and made great achievements, and the saint has wronged you?! Are you disgruntled and want to rebel?! ”

"The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister doesn't dare!"

Pei Kuan is really not good at saying good things, he is a proud son of heaven, and he usually has too few opportunities to practice pleasing others. I'm used to venting my emotions, and it's really like complaining even begging for mercy.

He knew that the more he spoke, the more wrong he became, and he kept pleading to become a monk, but even this sounded to the ears of others as if he were accusing the saint of being ruthless and unkind.

Li Niang was very excited, thinking that it was not enough to kill Pei Kuan today, and she had to implicate Li Heng and Li Cong.

"Pei Kuan, Hugh complained in front of the emperor, saying who is behind you!"

"That's enough."

Li Longji finally spoke, and said lightly: "Today is a banquet, not a court meeting, so sit back...... But since they all want to investigate, recruit 'Han Yu'. ”

Everyone was stunned again, Yang Qian and Pei Kuan fell into an ice cave, and the rest of the people, including Li Heng and Li Linfu, were all overjoyed.

There is really Han Yu!

Bei Ya really revealed the truth.

There were eunuchs who led the two into the hall, and looked at the figures from a distance, one was Xue Bai, and the other was a middle-aged man with a long beard.

Li Heng and Li Linfu both squinted their eyes and nodded secretly, feeling that Han Yu's demeanor did not disappoint them.

is such a character, who is worthy of being laid out in secret, but this person is not detained, and can still pace like this, has he already entered the eyes of a saint?

Only Jingzhao Yin Xiaojiong stood up in surprise.

for he recognized the figure...... Yan Zhenqing!

~~

"They all want to find Han Yu, and they all have a good calculation, so let's see where Han Yu is." Li Longji suddenly laughed heartily, "What are you doing with all the tension?" There is no need to sing and dance at today's banquet, appreciate the calligraphy of famous artists! ”

"I have admired the name of Yan Gong for a long time." Li Cong agreed, trying to improve the atmosphere of the banquet, and said with a smile: "I am finally fortunate to see it today." ”

Everyone laughed, laughing awkwardly.

It was in this atmosphere that Yan Zhenqing saluted and asked, "Please give the sage a question, and the minister knows what the book is." ”

Li Longji finally got interested, drank the wine, and said loudly: "Note...... Xue Bai's poems in prison, his poems, and your words can be called Han Yu. ”

Yan Zhenqing's face changed, and he responded with some embarrassment: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The attendants picked up the long scroll, and Xue Bai polished the ink. Yan Zhenqing held a pen in his left hand and went straight to the book.

The thick ink is wantonly swaying, and it is cursive.

Wild grass.

Before they knew it, everyone stood up, their eyes full of shock.

"When he was young, he wrote cursive with his left hand, and he felt that he could not surpass the 'grass saint' Zhang Changshi in his life, so he changed to learn regular script with his right hand, and today he is smiling and generous."

With this sentence, Yan Zhenqing stepped out of the way, revealing the words behind him.

Li Linfu stared intently and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He was shocked by the poems on the scroll, and he couldn't believe that he saw such poems at the imperial banquet, who was he beating?

With such doubts, he mentally read the poem over and over again.

"Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors day,"

"Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time."

"Xiang Envoy died at the beginning,"

"Who knows if it's true or false in a lifetime?"

Li Linfu shuddered suddenly, but there was luck in his heart, and he turned his head to look at Li Heng opposite.

Li Heng's face was even more ugly, and he was simply irrepressibly defeated.

He felt that Xue Bai's sentence "Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time" was simply scolding him by name. He also thinks that's what everyone thinks.

Tearing his face in public.

Xue Bai completely did not want to live in the future, and publicly declared his discord with the prince.

It's only been three days, and no one can frame him for the crime of "constructing the East Palace".

……

Pei Kuan also couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He felt that Xue Bai's sentence "Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors" was simply praising him by name. He also thinks that's what everyone thinks.

has done so much for the community, and there are so many rumors and crimes thrown at him. Li Linfu accused him, and Donggong was happy to see it.

But at this time, looking at the word "Han Yu" at the end of the scroll, Pei Kuan's spirit was lifted.

Okay, he just colluded with Han Yu!

Ask Han Yu again, who is behind it?

Saints of the day!

Thinking of this, Pei Kuan burst into tears.

He doesn't plan to become a monk anymore, he wants to continue to support Yongyan in order to worship the prime minister!

At this point, the whole thing is already very simple.

Xue Bai proposed the Yan Salt Law to Yang Chen, Pei Kuan supported the matter in order to fight for power with Li Linfu, Li Heng heard about it, and deliberately befriended Xue Bai in order to invite fame, Li Linfu in order to prevent Yan Yan, wronged them for having no intentions, and used Li Xuan and Li Niang to sue with some rumors of chasing after the wind and shadows.

This is the truth in everyone's hearts.

Including Li Linfu and Li Heng also knew that this was the truth, and they did just that. But they still have a cry in their hearts - "This is Xue Bai's set!" ”

They knew very well that Xue Bai was deliberate, sometimes showing his talent, sometimes showing his clumsiness, deliberately making people think that there was a master behind him, but it turned out to be a lie that could be easily exposed.

Xue Bai calculated what they would do, because they would respond with the same trick every time, and Xue Bai's purpose was to expose them in front of the saints.

"Sage, please see, the prince will really invite names, and he seems to be forbearing, but in fact he refuses to suffer at all; The right minister always used the name of 'Jiaowu East Palace' to get rid of ministers who were loyal to the saint but threatened him. ”

But they couldn't expose it.

Even if the saint knew that they were being tricked by Xue Bai, would he sympathize with them?

The saint would not blame Xue Bai at all, who was not threatening and would make him happy, the saint would only be more annoyed with them.

"So incompetent, dare to think of sitting on my country?!"

This faint lord has been selfish to the extreme......

~~

Zhang Ting took a sip of wine and felt Li Heng's hand trembling.

She then shook his hand gently and motioned for him to look at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan trembled even more, and his eyes had lost their brilliance, as if he had lost his soul.

Seeing this scene, Li Heng calmed down, after all, the East Palace is also the mind of inviting names, and it is the Shouwang family that really makes the move.

"Eighteen Lang." Zhang Ting stabilized her husband and lost no time in opening her mouth, "What's wrong with you?" Half in the bag? ”

Although she is only eighteen years old, she has the tone of an eldest sister-in-law like a mother.

The saint invited King Shou to come, which shows that the saint understands everything. She didn't have to expose Li Jing at this time, but instead reminded Li Jing to hurry up and take the holy anger away, which was good for everyone.

Li Xuan didn't dare to take it, his lips trembled, and he never spoke.

Zhang Tingliu frowned, thinking that if she didn't want to give her a chance, then don't blame her for bringing out King Shou to block the arrow in the East Palace.

She lifted her glass and was about to stand up.

"Sage." Xue Bai said: "I have something I want to ask King Shou. ”

"Ask."

"The lady of Daxi, who sacrificed dominoes with me before, the saint has given back the deed, I don't know why King Shou forced her to sell her body to King Shou's Mansion again?!"

"I didn't force her, it's ......"

Li Xuan still wanted to explain, but Li Linfu turned his head sharply and glared at him fiercely.

"Say!" Li Longji suddenly shouted angrily.

In recent years, few people have seen the saint so angry, as if the thunder exploded and the sky darkened.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, but it was Li Xuan who hooked the table in a panic and fell to the ground.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Li Longji's angry eyes, Li Xuan's soul was scattered, and he was so frightened that his feet were weak, and he couldn't get up after holding on, but spilled wine all over his body.

"Shouwang is drunk."

"The royal front is out of order, it's not like words, take it down to sober up, and go out of the Ten Kings' Mansion in the future."

Immediately, a eunuch stepped forward and dragged Li Xuan out half-supported and half-mopped.

From beginning to end, Li Xuan even forgot to glance at Princess Wei.

Webster was forgotten at the banquet, and after a while he remembered to salute the saint, and hurriedly retired.

Li Niang was stunned.

She watched this scene, opened her mouth several times to say something, and when she turned her head, she saw Xue Bai looking back at her, and nodded her head.

Li Niang was startled for no reason and hiccuped.

~~

"Sit down, Yang Qing, Pei Qing, my son is not angry, let you see the jokes, and feast and drink, and don't talk about state affairs."

"Thank you, saint."

Yang Yan and Pei Kuan glanced at each other, and forcibly didn't look at Xue Bai, but their hearts were already churning.

So far, Li Longji has not had a seizure on the bright side at all.

He wouldn't interrogate and punish anyone carefully, and he wouldn't have to let his subordinates know exactly how much he had found. It is enough to show that he is in control of everything and maintains the supreme majesty of the king.

Li Heng and Li Linfu had obviously felt his beating and were terrified of his dissatisfaction.

But that's not enough.

An East Palace that should have kept its own place has been invited to compete for fame again and again; A right prime minister's mansion that should have been staring at the East Palace hid his selfish intentions again and again, and as a result, the prestige of the East Palace increased.

It's time for someone to keep an eye on them......

Thinking of this, Li Longji already made up his mind in his heart.

The appointment of Yang Zhen and Pei Kuan, let Taiwan Province make an order, at this time, at this banquet, Li Longji was still silent, stroking his palms to call for singing and dancing. Let the courtiers feel that he is in control of the overall situation, but he also understates it, showing his grace.

"Konghou, Konghou...... I remembered something. ”

After the banquet, Li Longji seemed to be drunk, and he actually played a song for everyone and laughed.

"You all say that Xue Bai is talentless, so you suspect that he was instructed by someone, but I recently got an interesting story from him. There is a small stone monkey, a somersault cloud can turn over 108,000 miles, but guess this monkey can turn out of the palm of the Buddha? ”

"This ......"

Everyone looked at each other, glanced over, and saw that the saint had a movement of spreading his palms.

Li Linfu saluted first, with a solemn face, and replied in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that it can't be turned out!" ”

"Erchen also thinks it can't be turned over!"

Listening to this chanting, Xue Bai lowered his head and took a sip of wine, smiling imperceptibly.
