Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 827

"Aiqing, try this tea, how does it taste?" Li Longji said.

Li Canghai picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "This tea has a rich aroma and clear soup, it is a treasure among teas."

Li Longji nodded and said: "Yes, this tea is a tribute tea from the south of the Yangtze River. Tea, good water is also extremely important. But with only these, can you make good tea?"

Li Canghai frowned slightly, and said calmly: "Please show me, Your Majesty."

Li Longji stroked his beard and said: "If you want to make a good cup of tea, the most important thing is balance. If there is too much tea, the taste will be bitter. If there is too much water, it will be bland and tasteless. Only the right amount of tea and water, and then control the heat, can you It can make a cup of fragrant tea that is full of color and fragrance.”

Speaking of this, Li Longji stared at Li Canghai, and said meaningfully: "Do you understand what I said?"

Li Canghai put down the tea, nodded and said, "I understand."

Li Longji smiled and said deeply: "You are a smart person, I know you will understand. You and Guozhong are both ministers of my humerus. Although Guozhong is wrong, but the crime is not dead. Besides, Guozhong As a loyal minister of the Zaifu, if he is convicted, it will definitely shake the morale of the army. It is not good for the country!"

Li Canghai did not speak.

Li Longji went on to say: "I know Aiqing's loyalty to me, and I also know that Guozhong has done a lot of excessive things. But he has a large army and has many disciples. He still needs to maintain the Great Tang Dynasty!"

"Sir, I understand." Li Canghai looked calm, still saying those three words.

Li Longji sighed and said: "Although Guozhong holds a heavy army, he is the elder brother of Yuhuan after all, and he would never dare to rebel. But you are different. You have a very high reputation both in the army and among the people. , the common people have a lot of trust in you, and all the ministers look up to you. What's more, you are also good at the art of war, and the common people respond to you all the time..."

Hearing this, Li Canghai immediately understood the meaning of Li Longji's words.

It turned out that Li Longji called himself here, in fact, to give himself a "drinking drink to release the military power".

Li Canghai smiled wryly in his heart, An Lushan's rebellion was imminent, but Li Longji was still worried about his great achievements.

"Your Majesty, don't say too much. I understand. Starting today, I will resign and go into seclusion." Li Canghai said calmly.

Li Longji smiled and said: "Aiqing, don't blame me for being ruthless. This is also a helpless move!"

"Your Majesty, I understand. After today, the word Li Canghai will disappear from the world." After a pause, Li Canghai got up and saluted, "If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will leave."

Li Longji stroked his beard, and said: "I am very relieved that Aiqing has such thoughts. After you resign, I will allow you to inherit the position of Marquis of the founding county."

"Sir, thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I will take my leave." After Li Canghai saluted, he got up and left the bedroom.

After Li Canghai left, Gao Lishi asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, Li Canghai is quite talented and loyal to His Majesty. Is it inappropriate to do so?"

Li Longji sighed, and said: "Li Canghai is indeed quite talented, but because of this, I have to guard against it!"

"I don't understand, please show your Majesty." Gao Lishi bowed and said.

Li Longji took a sip of the teacup, and said deeply: "Li Canghai is indeed quite talented, and he has also devoted himself to my Tang Dynasty. But because of this, I have to be wary of him. From obscurity to fame In the world, Li Canghai only spent less than a year. Now, no matter in the army or among the people, he is the most prestigious. If he revolts, the people will definitely respond. I, I can’t raise a tiger to cause trouble!"

"Your Majesty is overthinking, right? Although Li Canghai is well-known among the people, he has no real power and is loyal to His Majesty. He will definitely not rebel." Gao Lishi hesitated for a while, and said cautiously.

Li Longji said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. Now, Li Canghai has more and more fans, I have to guard against it. Besides, Li Canghai has been dealing with Guozhong from the beginning to the end. Although Guozhong has , but he is loyal to me. Over the years, I have worked hard to maintain the balance between Guozhong and Cui Huan and others, but the appearance of Li Canghai has tilted this balance. If this balance is broken, the court There will be chaos. I will never allow this to happen."

Gao Lishi was silent, and after a while, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Anlu Mountain has assembled a large army, and there are indeed signs of rebellion. Now, if Li Canghai resigns, will it shake the morale of the army? "

Li Longji smiled and said: "An Lushan is loyal to me, how could he rebel? This is a memorial he sent to me in a hurry for eight hundred miles. The reason why he mobilized the army is actually to attack the Turks. "

"But Your Majesty, Li Canghai has captured An Lushan's subordinates, so how could it be false?" Gao Lishi asked hurriedly.

Li Longji said disapprovingly: "Lushan is also the governor of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong. He has also offended many ministers. Someone must have deliberately framed him. Lushan also sent some rare things to the imperial concubine a few days ago. It is enough to show his loyalty to me. That's enough, don't mention this matter again, I am a little tired, you should go down and rest!"

Gao Lishi opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but seeing that Li Longji had made up his mind, he didn't say any more, bowed and saluted, and then left the hall.

But he said that Li Canghai left the palace and returned to the mansion.

In the mansion, Kang Xu, Chang Feng, Xiao Wu and the others were happily talking about something.

Seeing Li Canghai coming, several people stood up and saluted.

"My subordinates, see the adults!"

Li Canghai nodded, walked to the chair and sat down.

Xue Xuan came in with some snacks, put them on the table next to Li Canghai, and asked, "Canghai, what's the result of going to the court this time? Did the emperor punish Yang Guozhong?"

Kang Xu and the others also looked at him one after another, with expectations in their eyes.

Li Canghai glanced at them, then got up and saluted them with fists.

This move immediately startled several people.

"My lord, why are you doing this? I can't bear such a humble job!" Kang Xu hurriedly said.

"During this period of time, you have worked hard to secretly collect evidence of Yang Guozhong's crime." Li Canghai said.

Chang Feng said: "My lord, these are all our duties, you are so polite, but you are making me wait."

Seeing Li Canghai's expression changed, Xue Xuan asked, "Canghai, did you fail to bring down Yang Guozhong this time?"

Li Canghai sighed, and said: "I thought I could use the elixir to bring down Yang Guozhong, but I didn't expect it to end in failure."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.

Kang Xu said incredulously: "My lord, we have collected so many evidences of Yang Guozhong's evil deeds, can't we still convict him?"
