Chapter 318 Opening

Author: The cat who doesn’t drink water

Hearing Xu Jingzong's words, even though Wu Zetian was extremely intelligent, he was a little stunned.

People from aristocratic families attach great importance to the love of marriage. Cui Xiuye's move can be said to be a break with the entire Cui family.

Does he really have the courage? Does he have the courage?

"Mother, I think what Cui Xiuye ​​said is not a lie. Everyone in Chang'an knows the relationship between Cui Shouye and Cui Xiuye. It is reasonable for him to take risks for his brother."

Xu Jingzong lowered his head and expressed his opinion.

"Then why don't you hurry up and tell His Majesty about this? Remember, we are always His Majesty's people. All we need to do is let Cui Xiuye ​​think of us well. Do you understand?"

"Xu Jingzong understands."

Xu Jingzong bowed slightly and quickly retreated.

"Your Majesty, Duke Gaoyang wishes to see you."

Ruian walked into the royal study and said slowly to Li Zhi.

"Let him in."

Li Zhi patted himself on the shoulder. Although he had handed over many memorials to Wu Zetian, he still had to review the important ones personally.

"I, Xu Jingzong, pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Long live my emperor, long live me."

Xu Jingzong knocked his head to the ground as soon as he entered the door.

"Get flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Jingzong stood up and looked at Li Zhi with excitement in his eyes.

"Looking at you like this, have you finished what I asked you to do?"

"Your Majesty, something has happened."

Xu Jingzong quickly told Cui Xiuye's situation.

"Is this serious?"

Li Zhi was stunned. He originally just wanted to take the opportunity to beat the family, but he didn't expect that such a good thing could come out of him.

What is this?

Could it be that Li Yanran is really his lucky star?

"It should be true. Cui Xiuye ​​would never dare to deceive His Majesty."

Xu Jingzong nodded. Even if Cui Xiuye ​​had great courage, he probably wouldn't dare to joke with the emperor.

"But this matter has already happened. If Cui Xiuye ​​is not punished, it will not be justified. What do you think?"

Li Zhi went through a circle in his mind and looked at Xu Jingzong again.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Cui Shouye can be exempted from the death penalty but cannot escape from the living crime. I can demote Cui Shouye to the local government, and then promote Cui Xiuye ​​to the Minister of Punishment.

This will not only knock down the family, but also promote our people, the best of both worlds."

Xu Jingzong smiled slightly. The other party only said that Cui Shouye would be spared, but he did not say that he would be acquitted.

This couldn't be simpler.

"Well, I'll do as you say. In addition, those bandit troubles must also be dealt with, so as not to chill Princess Lishan's heart."

"I excuse myself."

Xu Jingzong left directly and returned to his residence to tell Cui Xiuye ​​the results of his discussion with Li Zhi.

"Thank you so much to Duke Gaoyang for studying. To express my gratitude, I hope Duke Gaoyang will accept the gift for studying."

After Cui Xiuye ​​said this, he waved his hand, and a servant came in carrying a box.

"My dear nephew, we are all one of our own from now on. We should not act like this."

While talking, Xu Jingzong winked at Xu Wei, who also quickly sent someone to carry the box down.

"I'll say goodbye to my studies like this."

"I'm sending my nephew off."

At the court meeting the next day, Xu Jingzong told Cui Shouye's collusion with bandits, and Li Zhi also took the opportunity to issue an order to demote Cui Shouye from the local government.

When the aristocratic families saw this situation, they all suggested that Cui Xiuye ​​should take over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Li Zhi also smiled slightly when he saw this, and took advantage of the situation to help Cui Xiuye ​​to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Shouye, it's a long way to Xuzhou, so we must take care of our health."

Cui Xiuye ​​looked at the brother in front of him, his eyes filled with tears.

"Brother, it's not worth it for me."

Cui Shouye also knew how Cui Xiuye ​​saved his life, and he was extremely grateful to his elder brother for this trip.

After all, the eldest brother actually wanted to break up with the Cui family for his own sake, and he would have no face to see his father a hundred years later.

"Don't think too much. When you get the chance, big brother will definitely find a way to transfer you back to Beijing. Let's go."

"Brother, take care."

Cui Shouye wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, got on the carriage and ran towards Xuzhou.

"Brother Li, Brother Li, have you heard that those bandits were instigated by the Cui family? Now Cui Shouye, the Minister of Punishment, has been demoted to Xuzhou, and all the bandits have been punished."

Changsun Yan ran to Li Yanran with the news he had just received, his eyes full of resentment.

"I see."

Li Yanran was neither happy nor sad, and paid no attention to Changsun Yan.

"Brother Li, why aren't you angry? Such evil thieves should be beheaded. Demoting the local government is really an advantage for him."

Seeing Li Yanran's appearance, Changsun Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

Aren't you the most vindictive person? Why are you so calm now?

"I have said before that if you are not in your position, you will not seek political advice. My father must have taken his considerations into consideration when he did this. We just need to do things with peace of mind.

It doesn’t matter who the person behind you is.”

Li Yanran glanced at Changsun Yan.

I really want dad to kill everyone, but that's just wishful thinking.

It's not easy for dad to be the emperor. I can't help him solve his problems, but I'm going to cause more trouble.

After saying that, he slapped Li Hong on the head.

"Sister, why did you hit me?"

Li Hong, who was eating candied haws on a stick, looked confused. You just keep talking, what do you mean by suddenly giving yourself a break?

Is it a problem if I eat candied haws next to you?

"It's okay, your hands are itchy, just keep eating."

Li Yanran rolled her eyes at Li Hong, do you still need a reason to hit you?

"I"

After looking at Li Yanran, Li Hong twisted his butt and walked out the door.

I can't afford to offend you, I can afford to hide.

As long as you can't see me, I probably won't get beaten.

"Brother Li, if nothing happens, I'll leave too."

When Changsun Yan saw this situation, he rubbed the soles of his feet and ran away.

Brother Li's temper has become increasingly grumpy since he became a princess.

It's nothing, just hide away.

"etc."

"What's wrong?"

Changsun Yan turned his head and looked at Li Yanran, wondering what she wanted to do.

"This Longmen Escort Bureau has been established for a while, but no one wants to take away the goods yet?"

Now that the fiefdom matter has come to an end, Li Yanran remembered her plan to do logistics some time ago.

"If you don't tell me, I forgot. Some time ago, several merchants found Longmen Escort Bureau and wanted to sell goods, but I was busy and forgot."

After hearing about Longmen Escort Agency, Chang Sun Yan also patted his head and told what happened before.

"Forgot? You can forget anything? Why don't you hurry up and contact the merchant?"
