Man Tanghong

Chapter 16 Subduing Ling Jing's Aftermath
Li Yuanji sat upright, and politely asked Ling Jing to sit down.

Questioning Ling Jing is also Ling Jing's test.

If Ling Jing told him that it was a wild guess, then Ling Jing was not worthy of his recruitment.

Naturally, Dou Wei also had to be sent back to Yeting Palace.

Ling Jing seemed to know what he was thinking, and gave him a standard answer, "Since Liu Heitai rebelled, I have struggled in Chang'an City.

There are almost no people who are close to the minister, but there are as many people who hate the minister.

His Highness summoned the minister at this time, there must be some conspiracy. "

When Ling Jing said this, he still didn't forget to look at Dou Wei, "Your Highness knows what I want in my heart, so I should have investigated him.

His Highness should not look down on the little money on the subject.

The only thing in the subject worthy of His Royal Highness's scheme is what he has learned. "

Li Yuanji is quite satisfied with Ling Jing's answer, which at least proves that Ling Jing is not an idiot, has a certain vision, and is worth recruiting.

Li Yuanji smiled and praised: "Ling Canjun's eyes are as sharp as torches, he can see through my thoughts at once, not bad."

Ling Jing said modestly: "I can't afford to be praised by Your Highness."

After a pause, he said again: "Since I have agreed to serve Your Highness, Your Highness should also respond to my request."

Li Yuanji secretly praised Ling Jing for his boldness, and laughed, "I can give it to you, Dou Wei, but do you dare to take it away?"

Ling Jing was taken aback for a moment, his expression changed.

Li Yuanji was not threatening him, but reminding him.

He has a special status, and Dou Wei's status is also special.

If he shows up in Chang'an City with Dou Wei, he will definitely be targeted by those who want to.

Some people with ulterior motives will inevitably make a fuss about them.

Once they got in front of Li Yuan, they would all die to the extent that Li Yuan hated Dou Jiande.

So it is far safer for Dou Wei to stay in Prince Qi's mansion than to follow him.

but……

Ling Jing didn't really want to play for Li Yuanji.

He is well aware of the notoriety of Prince Qi's Mansion, and also knows what kind of whirlpool Li Yuanji is in.

Serving for Li Yuanji is no less than fishing for gold in the fire. If it is light, it will burn your body, and if it is serious, your life will be lost.

But Dou Jiande was kind to him, and he couldn't just watch Dou Wei suffer.

For a moment he was caught in a dilemma.

Li Yuanji knew his difficulties, and did not rush him to answer.

Ling Jing hesitated again and again, looked at Li Yuanji and said, "Then I will thank Your Highness to take care of my daughter..."

Li Yuanji smiled knowingly.

"Ling Canjun works for me, so naturally I won't treat those whom Ling Canjun cares about badly.

I will tell the princess to take good care of Dou Hou. "

Ling Jing thanked Li Yuanji with a wry smile.

After subduing Ling Jing, Li Yuanji was not in a hurry to ask Ling Jing to give advice. He knew that Ling Jing cared about Dou Wei very much, so he asked Ling Jing to take Dou Wei out for a walk and gave them a chance to be alone.

After Ling Jing left with Dou Wei.

Xie Shufang couldn't wait to appear in front of Li Yuanji, "Congratulations to Your Highness for gaining a counselor."

Li Yuanji smiled and nodded.

Having Ling Jing in his pocket is indeed something to be happy about.

With Ling Jing, together with Xie Shufang and Li Sixing, the Qi Palace barely had some strength to protect itself, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go and tell the princess, let the princess prepare a yard for Dou Hou, with a few maidservants."

Li Yuanji ordered.

Li Yuanji still needs Ling Jing to do his best for him, so naturally he should take care of Dou Wei.

Xie Shufang agreed and rushed to the bedroom to pass the message.

……

Li Yuanji was very excited to have gained Ling Jing, but some people were not happy.

Li Yuan was very relieved when he learned that Li Yuanji had dealt with the female officials, subordinate officials and palace people in the mansion successively.

He felt that Li Yuanji had grown up and matured, and knew what was loyal and what was treacherous.

In order to celebrate, he quickly ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to cut off all the female officials and subordinate officials who made mistakes in the Qi Palace.

But before he was happy, Liu Jun hurried to Ganlu Hall to report.

Li Yuanji took away Dou Jiande's young daughter from Yeting Palace.

Ling Jing, the son of the state under Dou Jiande, became the guest of Qi Wangfu.

"boom!"

Li Yuan threw his most beloved Yuzhan to the ground angrily.

The jade lamp instantly shattered into eight petals.

"Go, tell that rebellious son to come and see me!"

Li Yuan stood in front of the throne and roared.

The palace people inside and outside the Ganlu Hall knelt down in fright.

Liu Jun hurriedly agreed, "Here!"

Liu Jun hurried to Wude Hall with Li Yuan's oral order.

When Liu Jun rushed to Wude Hall, Zheng Guanyin also appeared in the place where Li Jiancheng was handling government affairs.

Wearing a jade crown on his head, wearing a red robe, Li Jiancheng, with a tall and straight figure and a handsome face, is frowning as he reviews the local documents.

Zheng Guanyin walked up to Li Jiancheng silently with a bowl of jujube soup.

Li Jiancheng smelled the familiar scent of incense, put down the documents, raised his head, and looked at Zheng Guanyin tenderly.

"Is something wrong?"

Zheng Guanyin nodded.

Li Jiancheng likes to be quiet when dealing with paperwork, and normally Zheng Guanyin would not bother him at this time.

Once Zheng Guanyin appears at this time, it means something is wrong.

"Silang took Dou Jiande's young daughter away from Yeting Palace."

Zheng Guanyin said softly.

Li Jiancheng was taken aback, "Dou Jiande's young girl? What does he mention about Dou Jiande's young girl?"

Zheng Guanyin said slowly: "Someone saw that not long after Shiro took away Dou Jiande's young daughter, Dou Jiande's son Ling Jing appeared in the palace."

Li Jiancheng's pupils shrank, "He is crazy, dare to touch his father's head, doesn't he know that his father already hates Dou Jiande to death?"

Zheng Guanyin pondered: "I don't think he is crazy, but he has thought carefully."

Speaking of this, Zheng Guanyin did not forget to remind Li Jiancheng, "Don't forget, at noon today, he forced you to kill Xue Bao.

Our fourth brother is quite different from before. "

Li Jiancheng frowned, rubbed his temples with both hands, and said, "I thought he was just acting on a whim..."

In Li Jiancheng's eyes, Li Yuanji has always been a childish younger brother.

When Li Yuanji asked him to beg for Xue Bao, he also took it as an act of passion.

Xue Bao was not placed by Li Jiancheng in the Qi Palace.

Xue Bao took the initiative to find Li Jiancheng and said that he would work for him.

After Xue Bao had an accident, the reason why Li Jiancheng protected Xue Bao was also to show other people who worked for him.

Li Jiancheng didn't care about Xue Bao's life or death.

He didn't take this matter to heart either.

Now that Zheng Guanyin brought up this matter and linked it with Li Yuanji's anomaly, he had to think more about it.

"If he gets angry, when I go to him, he will definitely take Xue Bao on my weak side.

But he didn't. "

Zheng Guanyin reminded.

Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "When you went to see him in Wude Hall, did you notice any difference in him?"

Zheng Guanyin slightly recalled how she looked when she met Li Ji in the Hall of Martial Virtue, and said slowly: "Compared to the past, he was less arrogant and more calm.

His eyes were not as erratic as before, but a little more determined. "

Li Jiancheng said thoughtfully: "In this way, our fourth brother is really different..."

Li Jiancheng looked sideways at Zheng Guanyin and asked, "Has there been any new recruits in Wude Hall recently?"

Knowing what Li Jiancheng was asking, Zheng Guanyin shook his head slightly and said, "I don't see any newcomers that Shiro cares about."

"Then why did Yuanji become so mature?"

Li Jiancheng didn't feel that Li Yuanji had been dropped.

In this Taiji Palace guarded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, no one dared to tamper with his brother.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng regarded all the changes of Li Yuanji as signs of maturity.

"The concubine guessed that it should be related to the lightning strike more than ten days ago."

Before Li Yuanji's temperament changed drastically, the only thing worth paying attention to happened was the lightning strike.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "After the lightning strike, it is reasonable to wake up.

I didn't want to see him because of Chen's kind act of disobedience. I didn't expect him to change so much. "

Zheng Guanyin smiled wryly, "It's not a good thing for Shiro to mature."

Li Jiancheng's eyes darkened, "Pei Ji praised him for becoming smarter before. I thought it was Pei Ji who deliberately shifted Shimin's attention to him to relieve my stress.

Now it seems that Pei Ji praised him sincerely, not to help me. "

Zheng Guanyin nodded, "He must have a plan to recruit Ling Jing."

"Ah……"

Li Jiancheng smiled mockingly, "Our brothers, what else can we plot?
I thought only Shimin was fighting with me.

Unexpectedly, Yuanji also wanted to fight with me. "

Li Jiancheng stared at Zheng Guanyin and asked self-deprecatingly, "Is my elder brother doing something incompetent? Otherwise, why would he be so unpopular?"

Zheng Guanyin looked at Li Jiancheng with pity, "It's not that you, brother, are incompetent. It's because people have changed their minds. It's because the things in your hands are too tempting. No one can resist the temptation."

Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment, "I can't suppress Shimin, and I can't suppress Yuanji for no reason.

You send someone to tell Yin Ashu that Yuan Ji recruited Dou Jiande's old department, and he knows what to do.

Then send people to send all the documents of Bingzhou to Wude Hall.

Now that Yuanji has grown up and matured, there is no reason for me to help him with the government affairs of the fief. "

Zheng Guanyin froze for a moment, and said, "Are you going to weigh Shiro's catty?"

Li Jiancheng nodded without hesitation, "Since he has become greedy that he shouldn't have, let me see if he has the right to fight against me.

If not, then be a prince with peace of mind. "

Zheng Guanyin nodded, told Li Jiancheng to remember to eat, and then left the place where Li Jiancheng was handling government affairs to help Li Jiancheng pass the message.

Chengqing Hall in the west of Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Guanyin's servant are also discussing Li Ji.

Li Shimin was flipping through the latest war report documents in Hebei, and said to his eldest grandson Guanyin who was nursing the child: "I heard that Yuan Ji took Dou Jiande's young daughter from Yeting Palace. Dou Jiande's son Ling Jing became his guest."

The eldest grandson Guanyin's servant said a little funny: "What does Erlang want to say?"

Li Shimin put down the document in his hand, and said, "Don't you think he violated his father's taboo?

Father killed Dou Jiande and forced Liu Heita to rebel.

Now Liu Heitai is making a fuss in Hebei.

Ninety percent of the territory occupied by Dou Jiande in the past has been conquered.

Now my father can't wait to kill Dou Jiande again.

Yuan Ji invites Dou Jiande's old department to be a guest at this time, can his father spare him? "
