Six hundred and seventieth chapters treat guests to drink
"Although I have listened to my wife's narration, I feel terrified in my heart."
Li Daozong's voice was not loud, but Li Mingda's voice was trembling a little, and he didn't know whether he was excited or scared.
"You know my temper. Everything will be discussed after the investigation. As long as he has performed well in the past, I will not take his life."
What Li Mingda said was the imperial edict. Most people would not say too much, but Li Daozong was different. He felt that he should continue to say something.
"Your Majesty, minister..."
Li Mingda stretched out his hand to shut up the other party: "Okay, it must be that kind of rhetoric about retreating in order to advance. The mistakes made by the other party can be big or small. I will investigate and deal with them after thorough investigation. Don't make trouble."
Being regarded as a troublemaking child by Li Mingda, Li Daozong had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Go down. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and the others."
"yes"
Li Daozong went downstairs. Li Mingda rubbed his chin and then called the breeze: "Daughter, have the people sent to Jiangxia left?"
"Master, I sent someone over early in the morning."
Li Mingda: "Let the internal guards send another wave of people to investigate the situation of Jiangxia County Prince and his family."
"yes"
Qingfeng turned around and left. She did not go down the stairs directly, but came to the side of the screen and handed the matter over to the internal guards to handle.
After Li Mingda ordered the inner guard, he took out a small piece of paper, wrote down a few symbols and numbers, and then stuffed it into a metal tube and handed it to the person next to him: "Go and do it immediately."
This is the inner guard's own style, just like modern spies. Everything is done with a set of code words rather than a simple way of catching two pigeons and reading the text directly.
After Li Daozong went downstairs, he found Fang Xuanling according to Li Mingda's instructions: "Master Fang"
The fact that Li Jingyu, the nephew of Li Daozong's family, was sitting down has spread throughout Chang'an City today. Everyone in the Imperial Study Room naturally knew about it. Seeing Li Daozong looking for him, Fang Xuanling knew in his heart that this was a troublesome matter.
"Hello, King Jiangxia, what do you want to do with Fang?"
Li Daozong: "I have something to ask Master Fang for advice."
Give me advice?
Generally speaking, it can be regarded as either helping or being picky. Fang Xuanling looked at Li Daozong who had just come down from the third floor and thought about what instructions Li Mingda had.
"I don't dare to teach you. If you have anything to do, please tell me first. I'm not sure whether I can help you."
"Mr. Fang, you are very polite. What I want to say is..." Li Daozong repeated what Li Mingda said just now and then said to Fang Xuanling: "Mr. Fang, please help to clear up the confusion."
ε=(′ο`*)))Alas
Your Majesty has really made things difficult for himself, but fortunately our Majesty is not the kind of emperor who is as inconsistent as the abyss of scheming. In the past, he did whatever he said. Although Li Daozong is also a member of the cabinet, in order to avoid suspicion, he usually
I don't come here to work most of the time, and even when I do come, I stay silent most of the time and rarely interact with the ministers and Li Mingda.
As for the reason, it was naturally the cause of trouble when he raised the army. Li Daozong liked military affairs in his early years and became successful at a young age. After the Li family raised the army, Li Daozong naturally led the troops in the war and made outstanding achievements. There were even rumors that Li Daozong would succeed to the throne.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that someone is jealous of Li Daozong and hopes to break up the unity of the Li family. Li Yuan saw the clues and did not take the initiative. However, the matter has already come out. After the rumors passed, Li Daozong slowly tried to leave in order to avoid suspicion.
center of power.
In fact, this kind of thing is not unheard of. In the history of Erba, Yuchi Jingde spent the rest of his life with Li Ji and several other meritorious ministers seeking immortality and ignoring trivial matters in the world.
Some people say it's to avoid suspicion, others say it's superstition. Everyone has different opinions.
Li Mingda naturally also knew some Tang history. Reading Tang history back then was like Zhu Bajie chewing ginseng fruit without remembering the details.
After listening to what Li Daozong said, Fang Xuanling thought about it for a while and said to Li Daozong who was waiting anxiously: "Your Majesty has such a temper. Since he said so, he must do the same. There is no need for such bending.
I'm going to test His Majesty's thoughts with all the twists and turns, as long as Li Jingyu's performance in the past is acceptable..."
Fang Xuanling's words are very simple. As long as your children behave well on weekdays, there is no such thing as bullying a man, dominating a woman, murdering someone, and silencing them. Everything is easy to talk about, otherwise they will definitely be severely punished.
Li Daozong's natural way is how his nephew behaves on weekdays. As the son of a county prince in his own fiefdom, he is the son of a local emperor's family. Naturally, he doesn't behave very well on weekdays, but he hasn't heard of it either.
Did Li Jingyu commit murder or arson at home?
After frowning and thinking for a while, Li Daozong thanked Fang Xuanling: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for clarifying my doubts. I understand. If Mr. Fang is free today, why don't you do something, drink some wine and chat?"
In order to avoid suspicion, Li Daozong rarely had any personal contacts with court ministers. Now he opened his mouth to invite him. Fang Xuanling had not yet opened his mouth. Cheng Yaojin, who was passing by, interjected: "Of course Lao Fang is free.
, I, Old Cheng, am also free, I, Old Cheng, will accompany me.”
Both of them knew the purpose of Cheng Yaojin, so they were naturally concerned about the inventory of Zuimeng and Bainiang in Li Daozong's hands. Li Daozong's family was rich, and most of the Zuimeng Bainiang that Li Mingda rewarded him usually kept there.
, Now that Cheng Yaojin has joined in, he will naturally not be stingy.
"Then I'll trouble Duke Lu."
"Oh, it's not hard, it's not hard. Just call us next time something like this happens."
Fang Xuanling shook his head helplessly and sighed: "You old scoundrel Cheng, you are thinking about drinking from King Jiang Xia, but I suggest you lower your voice, if Yuchi hears it..."
Yuchi Jingde, his old rival, had always been equal in terms of force, drinking ability and shamelessness. Now that Fang Xuanling reminded him, Cheng Yaojin naturally shut up and whispered.
: "If you don't tell me later, I'll tell you, let's leave quietly."
Watching Cheng Yaojin sneak away quietly, Fang Xuanling and Li Daozong couldn't help but smile, with the corners of their mouths raised.
"This old Cheng"
"Always like this"
The three of them finished their official duties at sunset and left the imperial study one after another. Li Daozong chose Piaoxue Tower as the venue for the banquet. Anyway, the three of them, one prince and two princes were qualified to go. The shopkeeper sent
He sent a message to his boss, although he began to prepare carefully.
Yuchi Jingde seemed to be a smart man, but in fact he was very patient inside, otherwise he would not be able to fight with good weapons. He had noticed the three people's strange behavior in the imperial study room early, and followed them quietly on the way home.
When he came up, he watched the three of them go to Piaoxue Tower, and a hint of sneer appeared on Yuchi Jingde's face.
