Chapter 884 Discipleship
After speaking, Li Zheng saw Li Lizhi looking at him suspiciously and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Lizhi raised her chin and said proudly: "You said you don't want to do business with the emperor, how many deals do you have with my father now?"

Li Zheng looked up at the sky and said, "It's not much."

Li Lizhi asked again: "Then I don't know how much business you have with Emperor Father."

This woman is too smart, and the smarter a woman is, the more dangerous she is.

Li Zheng said to Li Lizhi: "Do you know about the weapons case that has been raging in the court a few days ago?"

Li Lizhi nodded.

"Some people in the court are still holding on to that case, but this matter is covered by your father, and it is your father who they are investigating."

"Does the weapon case have something to do with you? Even the father is involved."

"Yes."

Li Lizhi put down the grapes in her hand, thought for a while and said, "How's the court investigation going?"

Li Zheng supported his forehead, "It seems that they have made endless investigations, because the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple will report the situation to your father. After your father reads the report, he can remove his hands and feet. Then smooth out the marks."

Li Li thought for a while.

Li Zheng said: "So no matter what, they may not be able to find out."

After a long silence, Li Lizhi smiled, "Why are those investigators suffering so much?"

Li Zheng said helplessly: "Who made your father a person who wants both face and money."

Xu Hui came over and said, "Your Highness, the hot water is ready."

Li Lizhi stood up and said, "I'm going to take a bath for my little son."

Glancing sideways at Li Lizhi, this woman's eyes are so weird.

Just two steps away, Li Lizhi stopped and turned around and said, "By the way, Qing Que doesn't know what happened recently, it seems that there is a woman she likes outside."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "I see."

In the middle of the night, Li Lizhi looked at her sleeping son, got up and tidied her hair, and went to the desk to continue sorting out the books.

The house is very quiet, the light of the candle is still a little dim.

Xu Hui walked up to Li Lizhi and whispered, "Your Royal Highness."

Li Lizhi glanced at the night outside the window: "I'm a little hungry, go get some snacks, I'll sort out the books and I have a lot of work to do tomorrow."

Xu Hui took a bowl of pastries and put them aside.

Li Lizhi said: "Where is the account book of Soap last month?"

Xu Hui took out an account book from the bookshelf and handed it to Li Lizhi, "It's all here."

night passed...

On the second day, Shangguanyi came early in the morning.

Li Zheng woke up early and had breakfast while listening to Shang Guanyi.

"Chang'an Order, His Majesty didn't say what position he would give, but I really don't know what to do when I go to court."

Shangguanyi said with a troubled face.

While eating, Li Zheng said, "Do whatever the court asks you to do."

Shangguanyi said anxiously: "Your Majesty asked me to lead a team to investigate the family's land, but I didn't give my manpower, let alone give me an official position. It's just a word of will."

Li Zheng handed Li Zhi a meat bun, and said in a low voice: "Let me make it clear, I actually want you to deal with the aristocratic family, just go for the aristocratic family. There is already a Duan Lun in front, and the current Duan Lun is not good either." Know where to start, maybe someone from the aristocratic family has caught you now, you go to echo Duan Lun, the two of you cooperate with each other, Duan Lun is inspecting the censor, you are going to investigate corrupt officials and black officials, he Come to give pointers, you come to do it."

Shangguanyi's face became more and more troubled.

"This job is difficult, isn't it?" Li Zheng looked at Shangguanyi's expression with great interest.

"I don't know how far to go."

"Once I check it out, I will find it out, even if it's a top-notch hand, I won't let it go up to the princes and relatives of the country."

The confrontation between Li Zheng and the family began many years ago.

Now the aristocratic family is almost suppressed by the court, and more and more officials of the five surnames are removed from the court by His Majesty.

Li Zheng went on to say: "I know that there may be big troubles. If the power of the five surnames is not eliminated, and the royal power is not stable, the court will be controlled by the aristocratic family. Right now, we need someone who can act swiftly and decisively. Since His Majesty has taken a fancy to you, Just do it well."

Seeing that this matter could not be avoided, Shangguanyi said again: "Thank you for Chang'an Ling's care these days, as long as Chang'an Ling has a word, I will resign from my official position in the court and serve Chang'an Ling in the future."

"What do you mean just say a word to me?" Li Zheng said while eating meat buns.

"What I mean is that as long as there is a word from the Chang'an Order, I can resign from the official position in the court and continue to stay in Jingyang to serve the Chang'an Order."

Shangguanyi said seriously.

It was quiet for a while, only Li Zhi was eating breakfast hungrily.

Seeing that Li Zheng didn't speak, Shangguanyi said again: "Chang'an Ling, I am serious about what I said."

After Li Zheng finished eating the porridge in his bowl, he looked at Shangguanyi standing at the door and said in a low voice, "Do you know what you just said might kill me."

Shangguanyi said: "Chang'an Ling, how do you say that?"

Li Zheng waved the fan in his hand and said: "Many children in our academy may not be able to be officials, because what they have learned is not what they need to be officials. Most of my academy teaches children some skills for making a living. You know me." mean?"

After hearing this, Shangguanyi's complexion changed and he said hastily: "I understand, now I will go to the court to take up my post."

After finishing speaking, Shangguanyi left without looking back.

Li Zhi, who was listening on the sidelines, was also full, and asked curiously, "Why did the words of Shangguanyi kill the teacher?"

"Now that Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui have become favorites in the army, your father is unable to attract them. If all the ministers in the court in the future come from my sect, do you think your father will let me go?"

"I seem to understand something."

Li Zhi thought about it.

Standing up and stretching his muscles and bones, Li Zheng was doing Tai Chi in the yard.

The village is very busy now, and it is the autumn harvest season of the year.

Sitting on the edge of the field, Li Daxiong said: "This year's weather is good, and I think it will be another bumper harvest year."

Li Ji bit the grass root in his mouth and said: "You said that your son is married to a princess now, when will the concubine arrangement be arranged, your family is only your father and son, and now that boy is already a county prince."

Li Daxiong heaved a long sigh, "That boy decides his own affairs. If you want to talk about taking concubines, any man in our village doesn't have only one daughter-in-law. How can we support two daughters-in-law? Our family is a poor family. Those who are poor, no matter how rich they are, they will never forget their roots."

In the other courtyard in Jingyang, Empress Changsun ordered the maids to pack their things and was ready to return to the palace.
