Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 167 The Saint's Trouble

In a wing of the Huaxianhui Building in Xingqing Palace, Li Longji, the sage of the Tang Dynasty, sat in front of the desk with an expressionless face.Sitting next to him was a beautiful woman who looked to be no more than 30 years old. She was Wei Shi, the wife of the loyal king Li Heng.

Wei Shi carefully fed Li Longji porridge, but the latter waved his hand impatiently.Webster was so frightened that he put the bowl on the table, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his face turned ashen.

"Go, there is no need to enter Xingqing Palace again."

Li Longji said slightly tiredly.He knew Webster was tired, but he himself was tired too!
"Thank you to the saint, thank you to the saint!"

Webster's voice was filled with tears. She stood up, bowed and then withdrew.

The nightmare of nearly a year was finally over, and Webster wanted to find a place to cry loudly.Before today, she didn't even dare to cry, for fear of being noticed by the saint's eyes and ears.

She didn't even dare to tell her husband Li Heng about it!

A year ago, the Guangyuntan Canal outside Chang'an was completed and a grand completion ceremony was held!Ji Ge feels that from now on, supplies from the Grand Canal can enter Guanzhong by water, and the end point is Guangyuntan.The materials in Guanzhong will be greatly replenished, and there will no longer be the risk of food shortage.

It's really beautiful, at least that's how it looks now.

Wei Jian, who presided over the construction of the canal, also served as the host. He organized and dispatched a large number of watercrafts on site to transport commodities from all over the country to Guangyuntan, and held a unique "Specialty Products Expo of various states".

The scale is unprecedented.Not to mention anything else, three entire ships were filled with "auspicious gifts" from all over the country.

Wei Jian was particularly happy, but even more happy was Brother Ji!

At that time, Brother Ji was as happy as a child and wished he could be brothers with Wei Jianjian.Brother Ji took Wei Jian's arm, and they boarded a large boat together and began rafting on Guangyun Lake.

Also accompanying him was Wei Jian's sister Wei Shi, who happened to have nothing to do when she returned to her parents' home and came to play with Wei Jian.

That is, the royal wife of the loyal king Li Heng!

Ji Ge approved and asked her to follow her on the ship and travel together.Webster was also extremely happy at that time. He stood on the side of the ship and looked around, just like a young lady who was not yet married back then.

Suddenly, Brother Ji looked at Webster's back, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that the other person's figure was sexy and charming!Especially the back view is very charming!No force can resist this attraction!
Li Longji had no idea why he felt like this at this time. He had obviously seen this woman many times before, and Wei's beauty was not in his eyes at all!

He had never had any thoughts about this woman before, not at all!

But on that day, Brother Ji was so excited that he couldn't hold back even half a stick of incense!
So that day, on that big ship, Li Longji, like a beast in heat, rushed up and hugged Webster who was leaning on the side of the ship to look at the scenery, and then visited her on the spot, even in the cabin. None went in.

At that time, Wei Jian was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and then he watched his sister being taken away by the emperor taking off her clothes!

Embarrassed and ashamed, he came to the next cabin!Pretend nothing happened.

Something so ridiculous and unbelievable happened on that joyful day that he didn't know what to say!
Wei Jian's heart was very confused, but he was not too angry.Because my sister has changed from a princess to an imperial concubine...it seems acceptable!It has no impact on his power.

However, he thought very richly, but the ending was very skinny.

From then on, Li Longji would ask Webster to come to the palace to meet him almost every month, and let him serve him for meals as his daughter-in-law. By the way, the two of them chatted about daily life and kept an appropriate distance.

However, he just couldn't find the passion on the boat that day again!Even when he saw this woman who had begun to lose her lust, he felt extremely bored!
So disgusting that I felt like vomiting.

Why would he be intimate with such a woman a year ago and why would he rush towards her in such a hurry? Why?

Brother Ji didn't know and couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.That scene was so ridiculous that even he himself found it unbelievable.

However, Brother Ji knew very well that under normal circumstances, whether it was the three Yang sisters or other women, they would not excite him at all.

No feeling at all.

But the hunger in his body for a woman was completely uncontrollable!The feeling was like a python being wrapped around me, suffocating.

The more you don’t have it, the more you think about it; the more you think about it, the less you can do it.

Brother Ji is rich all over the world. Whether it is gold, silver, wealth or women, he can have whatever he wants.However, he is horny and has no interest in women now!

This made Brother Ji very painful, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.So Brother Ji felt that even a woman like Webster could help him regain the passion he had on the boat that day!

As long as it can help him recover a little bit, what if he is given the title of noble concubine?

Now he is with Mrs. Guo Guo Yang Yuyao, mainly playing polo, riding horses and galloping, and really exercising; playing piano and composing music with Mrs. Han; and cooking and eating with Mrs. Qin.

These three restless women also have their own personalities, and Brother Ji also knows and understands them.

After all, Ji Ge no longer felt that way when he was with them.He has now lost interest in the bodies of these three women, and his communication is more emotional, just like family.

And the time Webster was on the boat was the latest one!
It has been almost a year now, God knows how he got through this year!
Today, Brother Ji finally had enough of this woman.He never wanted to see Webster again, and never expected her to surprise him again.

After Webster left, Li Longji came to the main building of Qinzhengwu with a bad breath in his chest.There are many emotions such as boredom, disappointment, and chagrin.

It was dark at night, and Gao Lishi went to send Li Linfu away for a trivial matter, and the two of them didn't know how to handle the matter.Li Longji's mind was in a mess, and he wanted to kill a few ministers to relieve his hatred!
At this moment, familiar footsteps came from outside. Li Longji tried his best to regain his facial expression and try to control his emotions.Then he sat on the bed, pretended to pick up a book and started reading.

"Sage, the right minister's affairs have been settled."

Gao Lishi walked into the study, came to Li Longji's side, crossed his hands and saluted.

"Tell me, how is it?"

Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said without raising his head.His mind was not at all on Gao Lishi in front of him.

"Back to the saint, Xing Xuan committed a heinous crime. We found many rare treasures in his home. The quantity is astonishing, and I am afraid it can be loaded on a large ship.

The words of the Prime Minister are indeed true.It is unlikely that this is Xing Xuan's property, but it is very likely that it is the one who deceived the king back then. "

Gao Lishi carefully organized his words. As for Zheng Shuqing who went to "ranse his house", he didn't even mention it.

Li Longji now handles government affairs and no longer cares much about the process. All he wants is the results.If he doesn't care, Gao Lishi won't report it, and he will tell the results directly if there are any.

"Well, Xing Xuan's family, let's exterminate them. The women will be made slaves, and all the men will be killed. They will be punished as treason."

Li Longji said lightly, as if he didn't even bother to interrogate.

The crime of deceiving the emperor is to die, what is there to ask?
The Tang Dynasty had defeated Tubo four years ago and destroyed the Post-Turkic Khanate.Now that the world is unified and the Tang Dynasty is invincible, Li Longji feels that there is nothing he cannot do.

So what if the Xing family is wiped out?So what?Gao Lishi was stunned. There was actually something strange inside this case.Uncle Zheng didn't get up early in the morning or stay up all night, but he decided to get out of bed at this time.It is said that Xing Xuan's son Xing Wei was still in the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, and this incident was most likely caused by this.

Are you really going to stop interrogating me?
"Sage, Xing Yu's son Xing Wei is still in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. Do you want to ask?"

Gao Lishi always felt that this incident was too coincidental. How could there be such a coincidence?Is there an invisible hand behind this?
"No need to ask, Ge Nu has already settled the case, let him go. Xing Yu will also be sent to Dali Temple and will be executed tomorrow.

Let Yang Shenjin take a good inventory of these treasures. The Xing family really deserved their death. I should have killed them back then. "

Li Longji turned over, facing away from Gao Lishi, and waved his hands tiredly.

In many things, as long as Li Linfu is involved, the final results will be similar.When he dealt with the Xing family, it was just a matter of dog eating dog. If someone helped to deal with the deceitful person, it would also enrich the internal treasury, so what's the harm?
If there are still such people, just kill a few more!
Fang Chongyong asked Zhang Guangsheng to memorize so many "eloquent" complaints, but none of them were used. Brother Ji simply sentenced Xing Xuan and his family to death and simply sent them on their way without any mercy.

It is enough to see that a wise man will make a mistake after all his considerations.

As the night deepened, Gao Lishi blew out the candles and slowly retreated outside the study, not to disturb Li Longji's sleep.Brother Ji hasn't had a good night's sleep in more than a year.

……

In a study room of Li Linfu's house in Pingkangfang, the tea stove is slowly boiling tea, and the surroundings are filled with the fragrance of tea.Zheng Shuqing was like a primary school student, sitting in front of Li Linfu very reservedly, not daring to express his dignity.

After a while, the tea was ready, and Li Linfu poured a bowl for Zheng Shuqing and a bowl for himself.

On this day and night, too many things happened, so much that they didn't even have a formal relationship with each other.Zheng Shuqing just told Li Linfu the news, but the latter had no time to give him feedback, and he didn't know what the other party thought.

Li Linfu has always shown his emotions and anger, so it is really difficult to figure out what he is thinking about now, whether he is angry or happy.

"Tomorrow, the saint will probably announce the execution of Xing's people. You don't need to worry about this matter. The truth will be dealt with."

Li Linfu pushed the tea bowl in front of Zheng Shuqing and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I will follow the instructions of the right minister."

Zheng Shuqing nodded and said with a very humble attitude.

"You have worked hard in the past few years. It is not easy to be the governor of Jingzhao, and you know the truth.

It's just that there is no vacancy in the court for the time being, so I have to let you feel aggrieved. "

Li Linfu laughed and said, his face was kind and friendly, and there was no trace of the fact that he was the famous right minister of the Tang Dynasty.

“It’s not hard work, it’s not hard work, these are all things you should do.

I just don’t know how the right minister plans to arrange it?The destruction of the Xing clan had a huge impact..."

Zheng Shuqing asked calmly.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I have prepared a back-up plan. I also have better arrangements for you, but now is not the time.

This year's imperial examination is about to begin. After the imperial examination, the situation will become clear. "

Li Linfu waved his hand gently, his expression indifferent.

Zheng Shuqing always felt that the other person seemed to be waiting for him to speak, but didn't remind him what he should say!
So, what kind of words does Li Linfu want to hear?
Zheng Shuqing's mind was a little confused for a while.

"Let's talk about the details of tonight. You did a good job, so that I didn't even use the back-up man.

But it's a credit to you that you found the treasure in advance. Otherwise, if Long Wujun didn't find the treasure, the Xing family would bite back the truth, and it would be difficult to clean up the situation. "

Li Linfu sighed with emotion.

He posed a problem for Zheng Shuqing.

The success this time was due to Fang Chongyong's extremely strong execution ability. It can be said that he "borrowed" power from the people without any strength. His decisiveness in acting is really rare in the world.

If the problem is not solved tonight, if it is postponed to the court tomorrow, Xing Xuan, a ruthless old fox, will use the power of his party members to put pressure on Jingzhao Mansion, and the situation will be passive by then.

Fang Chongyong's attack this time was quick, accurate and ruthless. He knocked Xing Xuan to pieces in one breath and even the gods couldn't save him.

However, these trivial operations cannot be accomplished by oneself!Zheng Shuqing knew that he could not hide this from Li Linfu, who knew him well.

"Back to Prime Minister, this is possible thanks to one person."

Zheng Shuqing lowered his voice and continued: "He is Fang Chongyong, the Shazhou governor who returned to Beijing to report on his duties."

Hearing this, Li Linfu smiled happily and said, "You finally told the truth about the truth. Tell us what happened."

Hearing what Li Linfu said, Zheng Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to describe to the right minister of the Tang Dynasty in front of him how they went to Huaizhenfang next to Chongyefang, how they deceived the people who were gathering people in the fong, and how they dealt with Qingzhuang promised rewards, how he entered Chongyefang, and finally how he took control of the Xing family's house and found the treasure.

He said everything that could be said, and some of the more sensitive ones, such as how Fang Chongyong killed people, how he threatened Xing's people, etc., were all covered in Spring and Autumn's writing style.

After finishing speaking, Li Linfu suddenly fell into deep thought.

In his opinion, although Fang Chongyong was very successful in the border town, it was just like that. After returning to Chang'an, if there was no one to support him, he would not be able to achieve anything.

However, now it seems that he underestimated this person's ability.

Tonight's round is considered double insurance.Even if Zheng Shuqing couldn't find out through the search, Li Linfu would still find a way to frame him, but the method would be a little more troublesome and not so beautiful.It is not difficult to make this game, but the layout and execution in such a short period of time can be described as lightning!
Xing Xuan is not a junior brother in the officialdom. If he is given time to prepare, he will definitely be able to fight back and forth, and he will not be beaten to death by Zheng Shuqing's fist!

Li Linfu felt that his strength as a person, Fang Chongyong, needed to be re-evaluated.

"Let's go back first and keep a low profile in the near future. Someone may retaliate against you for Xing Xuan's matter, so just proceed with caution."

Li Linfu said with a slight frown.

He doesn't know what new tricks his political opponents will come up with, but their revenge will definitely come!

　A chapter that has been brewing for a long time. It has far-reaching impact and tight logic. I can't adjust it.
