Dragon fights in Tang Dynasty

It is not surprising that Li Tai knew Liu Qi, it was just the news that Li Zhen intentionally released to Li Tai. Sooner or later, we will be able to find out who the only survivor of Nianzhuang is, not only the brothers together, but the prince is now also looking for the news of the survivor who rushed out of Nianzhuang, just because The relationship of time has not progressed. Of course, with the passage of time, Liu Qi's identity will be exposed sooner or later, and even Li Zhen can't keep it a secret.

Liu Qi is a chess piece, a chess piece that can stir up turbulent waves in the capital, but it is also a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you will hurt others and yourself. How to make good use of this chess piece is by no means a simple matter. However, Li Zhen and the two counselors spent a whole night discussing and calculated all aspects, and then they came up with a strategy to drive away tigers and wolves - taking advantage of Li Tai's eagerness to bring down the crown prince, clever layout, Achieve the result of killing three birds with one stone.

With Li Zhen's temperament of always protecting his subordinates, he didn't intend to let Liu Qi take risks. He originally wanted to change Liu Qi's name and surname, and send him to live in seclusion on the prairie, but the problem is that Liu Qi didn't want to, no one else. Liu Qi wanted to avenge the murder of his mother, no matter how Li Zhen persuaded him, he still refused to give up and voluntarily acted as a pawn, only hoping to bring down the prince and avenge the villagers of Nianzhuang. This moved Li Zhen deeply. Yu also had to be more cautious, he didn't want Liu Qi to turn from a pawn into an abandoned pawn.

People have to give, otherwise Li Zhen would not pass the news to Li Tai, but he has to pay attention to the timing. It is not yet time to play Liu Qi's card. Besides, Li Tai has not tapped the corresponding card. It is impossible for Li Zhen to hand over people casually, not only because of the price, but more importantly, not to make Li Tai suspicious, otherwise it will be self-defeating. Therefore, Li Taiyi proposed to ask Liu Qi, Li Zhen was not in a hurry to make a statement, but just acted in a contemplative state.

"Eighth brother, can you tell me the truth!" Seeing that Li Zhen hadn't said a word for a long time, Li Tai couldn't hold his breath anymore, and asked with a sullen face.

Damn it, I owe you something, you bastard, if you want someone, you can exchange it with benefits.In Li Zhen's heart, Li Tai's dominance is really not pleasing to the eye, but she won't let it go. She glanced at Li Tai and said with a faint smile: "Okay, since the fourth brother is an important person, there is no reason for the younger brother to refuse it." .”

As soon as he heard that Li Zhen was willing to give someone to someone, Li Tai laughed so hard that his mouth was crooked, he laughed and said: "Okay, this is my good eighth brother, okay, haha..."

Hey, you got complacent too early, kid, you might have a headache then!When Li Zhen saw Li Tai's smug look, she immediately sneered to herself, but she said with a troubled look on her face: "Fourth brother, I can give it to you, but..."

Li Tai, who had just started to get excited, immediately sank when he heard the word "but", knowing that it was impossible to ask Li Zhen to hand over someone unconditionally, after his face twitched for a while, he stared at Li Zhen and said: "Eight If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me, as long as you can do it, you will definitely be unambiguous."

Hey, I'm just waiting for your words, ha, there is a bamboo stick to beat, if you don't knock it, you won't knock it for nothing!Li Zhen was very happy in her heart, but she still had that embarrassed look on her face and said: "Fourth brother, you know that my younger brother has just opened a mansion and built a government office. Although there are many vacancies in the mansion, there are more and more followers , It’s really hard to arrange it, alas, it’s really a headache for the younger brother, and it made the fourth brother laugh, hehe, the younger brother heard that there seems to be some vacancies in the criminal department, I wonder if the fourth brother can help deliver the note, that’s okay Let the disciples under my younger brother come from different backgrounds?"

According to the Tang system, there are also grades among the six ministries - the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War are the upper-ranking ministries, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households are the middle-ranking ministries, and the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry are the lower-ranking ministries. The status of the upper-ranking ministries is higher than that of the middle and lower-ranking ministries Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Punishment belongs to the descending ministry. Although it has the largest number of people, it has never received much attention. The Ministry of Punishment Shangshu Qin Text is Li Tai's staunch supporter. He has served as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment for many years. It can be said that most of the staff of the Ministry of Punishment are Li Tai If Li Tai wanted to send some people to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it would only take a few words. At most, he would go to the Ministry of Officials and say hello. Now Li Zhen wants to send people to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. , to Li Tai, this is blatantly adding sand to his own territory, how can it not make Li Tai fly into a rage, no, just after Li Zhen finished speaking, Li Tai's face froze immediately, his mouth opened, I was speechless for a long time.

The feeling of being ripped off is really uncomfortable. The fire in Li Tai's heart was soaring, but he didn't dare to do it. No one else, after all, for him, being able to bring down the prince is the first priority, and among them The key point is that Liu Qi, the survivor of the Nianzhuang case, happened to be in Li Zhen's hands now. Therefore, even if Li Tai got angry again, he didn't have the courage to act, but after taking a few deep breaths, Li Tai Staring at Li Zhen viciously, he said, "For such a small matter, even if the eighth brother reports the name of the guest, the elder brother will let someone else do it later. I'm afraid it's impossible at the level of the official, but it should be possible at the level of the principal."

"Hehe, then I will accept the fourth brother, and I will thank the fourth brother on behalf of those disciples." Li Zhen finished knocking on the bamboo stick with a smile, and her heart was full of pleasure after succeeding.

With a cold face, Li Tai stretched out his hand and said, "Eighth brother, can you hand over Liu Qi to brother now?"

Hehe, this kid is really impatient, damn it, look at your brat!Li Zhen scorned Li Tai fiercely in her heart, spread her arms and said, "Fourth Brother Mingjian, although that man escaped from Nianzhuang, he was seriously injured, and he still hasn't woken up from his coma. The doctor told me that he should not move lightly, but my younger brother really dare not hand him over to the fourth brother. It would be better if this is the case. The left and right brothers will leave Beijing in one or two days. How about bringing someone to the fourth brother's house?"

The news Li Tai got was that Liu Qi was seriously injured, but it was not life-threatening at all, and there was no saying that he could not move lightly, otherwise Li Tai would not have come to ask Li Zhen for someone, but at this time Seeing that Li Zhen didn't tell the truth, but he couldn't do it—although Li Tai wasn't too clever, he wasn't so stupid as to tell the whole story about how he got the news. His eyes were full of anger and he looked at Li Zhen went on for a while, but the smiling Li Zhen never showed any sign of changing her attitude. After thinking about it, she said helplessly, "Forget it, let's talk about it after the eighth younger brother comes back. I have to be busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Justice." Yes, when the time comes, the two things can be combined into one thing."

Ha, I knew that you would say that, well, I don't bother to argue with you.In fact, Li Zhen didn't particularly care about the positions of those chief executives in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After dealing with the whole group of people, Li Zhen didn't mind seeing that Li Tai was so angry that he wanted to suppress the matter of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Anyway, those retainers would not be able to make a fortune in a while, and it was not so short of dozens of days. Then he nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, I will do it according to the fourth brother's wishes."

Seeing that Li Zhen had put all her words there, seeing that there was basically no room for maneuver in that posture, this annoyed Li Tai who came here excitedly, but he didn't want to turn against Li Zhen because of this, after all, the key people now It's in Li Zhen's hands, so I don't even have the time to chat with Li Zhen, so I snorted a few times, and chatted about the weather and other nonsense, then got up, left in a hurry, Li Zhen Regardless of Li Tai's unfriendly attitude, he sent Li Tai out of the gate of the palace very politely, until the big sedan chair that sent Li Tai respectfully turned out of the screen wall, then hummed a little song triumphantly, and strolled to the study in the backyard Strolling over, I planned to find my two big counselors to sum up everything that happened today, but I didn't expect that just after I arrived at the second gate, someone ran out of nowhere and blocked Li Zhen's way. Li Zhen, who was caught off guard, was taken aback, and when he looked again, he found out that it was Shi Li Qianhe, the head of the palace sent by the old man.

Li Qianhe stopped Li Zhen, bowed respectfully and said: "His Royal Highness, tomorrow is the day of His Royal Highness's engagement. As the chief historian of the palace, I should come forward to deal with this matter, and please give orders from the prince."

Eh, what, dizzy, damn, busy ripping off things, almost forgot about this important matter, shit, if something goes wrong, it's a small loss of face, and being blamed by a beauty is a trouble.Thinking of Pei Yan's shy and charming appearance, Li Zhen felt hot in her heart, and wished she could go out of the city immediately to find Pei Yan to be gentle, but it's a pity that there were so many things to do at this time, Li Zhen could only think about it, It is impossible to do it, looked at Li Qianhe, Li Zhen smiled and said: "Thank you, Li Changshi, for reminding, it was the king who was negligent, so let's start to take care of it, oh, this is the seal of the king, Li Changshi Shi seems to be done, if you need anything, you just need to tell Steward Liu, you can go to the cashier to get it, if there is no one in the mansion, you can call the 'Yanji Company' to rush to deliver it."

Li Qianhe accepted the seal letter from Li Zhen with a calm face, and said plainly: "There are not many things to prepare, and the Ministry of Rites will generally start. Apart from some related arrangements in the mansion, His Highness is You have to prepare some rewards, beat those officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then return the gifts to the various prefectures, the officials estimated that about [-] guan will be enough."

Li Zhen, who has no money, has long since lost his mind. Let alone five hundred guan, even [-] guan Li Zhen didn't take it seriously. Now that Li Qianhe looks confident, then I don't even bother to worry about those specific matters, so I laughed and said: "Okay, then I will trouble Li Changshi." As soon as the words fell, he planned to go back to the study, but he didn't think about it, Li Qianhe suddenly said: " Your Highness, the chaos in the court has emerged, Your Highness is better to be wise and protect yourself, and you must not have any disagreements, if you make a wrong step, it will be difficult to turn around, Your Highness takes care of it." Once he finished speaking, he did not wait for Li Zhen to reply. After saluting, he turned around and went out the second door.

Um?What do you mean?This old boy suddenly said such a strange word, what kind of demon moth is it?Li Zhen frowned, looking at Li Qianhe's back, lost in thought...
