Li Ji was old, and although he had seen all kinds of storms, he was still surprised when the head of Jinxiang County, whom he had never known before, came to visit.
Not only was the lineage of King Teng not taken seriously among the royal family, but it was also disliked by the emperor. This was known to everyone in the dynasty.
Later, King Teng somehow got involved with Li Qinzai, so he somehow became the vassal king supervising road construction, and he also had some power in his hands.
As for road construction, if nothing goes wrong, it will be a major project that will be slowly advanced in the next few years in the Tang Dynasty, and the power of King Teng will also increase accordingly.
Of course Li Ji had heard about the matter concerning his grandson, but the fact that Prince Teng's daughter, the Princess of Jinxiang County, came to visit at this juncture, Li Ji really couldn't understand.
Inviting the Lord of Jinxiang County into the front hall, Li Ji greeted her with a few words as an elder.
While exchanging pleasantries, he paid attention to Jinxiang's expression. Having lived to such a cunning age, Li Ji certainly couldn't naively think that the Lord of Jinxiang County had nothing to do today and came to visit in a hurry.
After Jin Xiang entered the front hall, he was extremely respectful to Li Ji. When he entered the door, he praised Li Ji for his good spirit and that he would definitely live to be 120 years old. Then he praised the decorations in the Duke's mansion and said that it was good here and there. .
Other licking dogs only licked people, but Jinxiang even licked the objects in the Duke's mansion. There was a strong smell of humility in the cautiousness, which made Li Ji even more unable to sit still.
Showing courtesy for nothing, could it be that the old prodigal son of Prince Teng persuaded his daughter to come to borrow money?
Although everyone's surname is Li, our families are really not familiar with each other.
Li Ji remained calm, and his eyes gradually became a little wary.
You can chat, but you can't borrow money, and you won't even die.
Jinxiang was feeling extremely nervous at the moment. The man sitting in front of him was a man who was famous for his achievements in the Three Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty. More importantly, he was Li Qinzai's grandfather.
Li Ji was sitting in front of her calmly and calmly, like a kind old man next door, with a smile on his face that looked kind and harmless.
But Jinxiang knew that this seemingly harmless old man just hid his sharp edge in the scabbard. He was like a peerless master. In this world, I am afraid that there is no one, no matter what, that can make his sword unsheathed. .
The guests and hosts each had their own thoughts and exchanged pleasantries for a long time. Li Ji then stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It is rare for the county lord to come to my humble residence. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but the county lord has something to say?"
Jin Xiang straightened up immediately and said, "Grandpa Li, your grandson Li Qinzai has been detained in Dali Temple for three days. Aren't you anxious?"
Li Ji narrowed his eyes. This elegant and elegant county owner mentioned the unicorn beast at home. Could this be the purpose of her visit today?
Then Li Ji hissed, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
Could it be that that evil beast and the county owner...
The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and Li Ji's expression became serious.
"The county master and that evil beast of mine..." Li Ji said hesitantly.
Jin Xiang's pretty face turned red and she hurriedly denied: "I'm just a friend. I have no other intentions. Li Qinzai helped my father and was kind to my family. Now that he is in jail, I feel anxious, so I took the liberty to come and ask Grandpa Li." Is there anything I need junior’s help with?”
Li Ji snorted, but still looked at her suspiciously.
"That evil beast is causing trouble all day long. It doesn't matter if you let Dali Temple lock him up for a few days. I'm not in a hurry."
Li Ji was not anxious, but Jin Xiang was anxious: "This...he is your grandson after all, how can he not be anxious? The prison is dirty and smelly, and there is no freedom. Young talents are imprisoned for no reason, which will inevitably weaken their energy. It is not a blessing for the country to become depressed day by day."
Li Ji calmly smoothed his beard, looked at her with an inquiring gaze, and said slowly: "Being in prison is not the loss of his sharpness, but his sharpness. It is not a good thing for a young man to be too sharp. This time can be regarded as a lesson to him. The county Lord, don’t worry too much.”
Jin Xiang lowered his eyelids and said softly: "Perhaps this junior is overly worried. Today is really a presumptuous time."
Li Ji narrowed his eyes and said, "When did the county master and that evil beast of mine meet?"
"I met him when we merged with the state in the middle of the year."
Li Ji snorted and said, "Has he ever bullied you?"
Jin Xiang blushed and said: "He... never bullied the younger generation, but he bullied my father."
A sharp light flashed in Li Ji's eyes, and he said slowly: "Are you really just friends?"
Jinxiang said with difficulty: "Yes."
Li Ji sighed.
Although there are no flaws in what he said, Li Ji is a lot older. How can Jin Xiang not see the hidden love between his children in Jin Xiang's shy and timid expression?
That evil beast at home has done another good deed!
Murderous aura gradually rose in Li Ji's eyes, and then he silently began to choose weapons in his heart.
"The county magistrate is very righteous and works hard for his friends. I am very pleased that Qin Zai has made a true friend." Li Ji chuckled.
Jinxiang became more and more uncomfortable. Li Ji's eyes were so sharp that they seemed to pierce her heart, making her little thoughts about her children unable to escape.
To play tricks in front of this peerless general, Jin Xiang was too young to be an enemy of Yihe.
Raising his hands to straighten his hair and temples, to hide his inner panic, Jinxiang said calmly: "Junior...Junior actually didn't do anything. He just saw Li Qinzai enter the Dali Temple prison, but your mansion didn't show any reaction, and he was confused, so he came to the door. Come and ask, I'm rude, junior."
Li Ji said indifferently: "It doesn't matter how many days the son of the Li family has spent in jail. Don't save that evil beast. Let him reflect in jail. Haha, the county master is a rare visitor. It is rare to come to the door. He should be entertained with a banquet." County Lord, don’t give up.”
Jinxiang was about to refuse, but Li Ji clapped his hands and ordered his servants to hold a banquet.
Jin Xiang couldn't say no in front of Li Ji, so he had to thank him with a grimace.
…………
The court hall was in an uproar, and countless courtiers came to criticize Li Qinzai for his evil deeds of attacking Zongzheng Temple.
The memorials flew like snowflakes to the desks of Xu Jingzong and Xu Yushi. The two prime ministers were so harassed that they had a headache and had to go to the palace to see the emperor and ask Li Zhi for instructions.
Li Zhi only said one sentence, delayed it until the limelight passed, and finally let it go.
You are already in prison, what else do you want? Could it be that this is the reason why I should kill the hero?
It doesn't make sense.
After receiving the emperor's clear instructions, the two prime ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
When the leader speaks, he will of course carry it out meticulously.
As a result, the piles of memorials and memorials were shelved by the two prime ministers and ignored.
At the same time, Niu Fangzhi, a great scholar from Shandong, entered Chang'an City. On the day he entered the city, Niu Fangzhi went to the Imperial College to give lectures.
A lecture by a great Confucian is a rare opportunity for students, so students from the Imperial College flocked to the hall and sat respectfully in the hall to listen to Niu Fangzhi's lecture.
The great Confucian lectures progressed from easy to profound, starting from simple principles and gradually touching on the profound meanings of sages' scriptures.
When Niu Fangzhi mentioned Confucius's sentence "Hearing too much and doubting", Niu Fangzhi suddenly felt something.
Although a gentleman is well-informed, he should remain cautious and reticent when encountering something he does not understand, and speak only after he understands it.
Then Niu Fangzhi made a metaphor.
For example, there has been a lot of commotion in Chang'an City recently when Bo Li Qinzai of Weinan County led his troops to attack Zongzheng Temple.
On the surface, it looks like he is just a dandy acting recklessly and offending the imperial authority, but in reality?
Looking at it from another perspective, if a treacherous minister used the Weisheng case to frame the murder of the princess, and county uncle Li heard about it and led his troops into Zongzheng Temple to rescue the princess, then should Li Qinzai be rewarded or punished?
The students of the Imperial College looked at Niu Fangzhi blankly. After a long time, there was a bang, and the Imperial College exploded.
