Once the grudge between two people ferments, it can easily turn into a confrontation between two forces.
Perhaps Li Qinzai himself did not expect that the grievances between him and Li Youdao would affect many people.
Among those affected were the emperor, the queen, the prime minister, and the great general Li Ji.
With so many troops, it is enough to fight against Ping'an County. Xiao Li has never fought such a wealthy battle in his life.
Something happened in Chang'an, and Li Qinzai had no choice but to stay at the Duke's Mansion overnight.
Early the next morning, guests came to the Duke's Mansion.
Li Qinzai yawned and came to the front yard, and saw Song Sen standing in the yard with a simple and honest smile.
Li Qinzai raised his eyebrows: "Oh, Lao Song, it's been a long time."
Song Sen ran up to Li Qinzai in a few steps and saluted without saying a word. The fat on his face was white and fat, and his cheeks and buttocks were unclear.
"The Marquis of Li County lives in seclusion in the countryside, which is a shame for Xiaguan. He wanted to visit Weinan County to see the Marquis of Li County countless times, but he was busy with official duties and could not leave for a moment. Every night when people were quiet, Xiaguan would look at the moon alone, recalling and Every detail of Li County Marquis brings tears to my eyes without even thinking about it..."
Li Qinzai had goosebumps all over his body. Has the art of flattering an official in Chang'an become so sophisticated now?
"Stop! You should be normal and don't use exaggerated words. We are not on the level of 'tears of tears'." Li Qinzai decisively stopped.
Song Sen chuckled and said, "The main reason is that I am afraid that Marquis Li will suspect that I miss you so much that I have to show my loyalty to you."
Li Qinzai looked at him for a long time, then suddenly clicked his tongue and said: "Old Song, why do I think you are mellow again? Less than a year after your promotion, you have gained at least thirty kilograms, right? It seems that the official of Baiqi Si Yongzhou is here My son, you are really better than the deputy in charge back then, look at you, you are so fat-headed, tsk!"
Song Sen waved his hands hurriedly: "Hou Mo of Li County was unjustly demoted. I have never been greedy. It's just that my salary is more than before, so I can eat a few more kilograms of meat every month..."
Li Qinzai sneered and said: "If you continue to fool me, you will insult my intelligence. Okay, I am not an official of Yushitai. If you are greedy, you are greedy. Am I going to report you?"
"There are very few officials in this world who are truly incorruptible, and they are not popular, such as that old guy Liu Rengui..."
"As the saying goes, 'Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money.' It's okay to be greedy. The important thing is that while being greedy, you also work hard for the emperor and the people to do some practical things. You have to do things when you get money. The court's money is also money."
Song Sen said yes again and again, with a look of instruction on his face.
Li Qinzai rubbed his face. He found that he had talked too much recently. Maybe he was used to being a teacher. He lectured everyone when he saw him, and unknowingly he became the person he hated in his previous life.
"Come to my house for dinner?" Li Qinzai asked.
Song Sen was stunned for a moment. He was not used to Li Qinzai's uprightness. After a long while, he said: "Well, there's no need to trouble your house. I've just eaten."
"Let's be honest, why are you here with me? I'm sorry, you are not a stunning beauty, so I don't have the time to talk to you about your life ideals. Let's talk more happily."
Song Sen laughed a few times, then lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the Marquis of Li County had a misunderstanding with the Li family of Zhao County?"
Li Qinzai twitched the corner of his mouth: "'Misunderstanding' is too light a word, but it's more than just a misunderstanding."
Song Sen smiled and said: "Marquis Li County is so courageous. He dares to compete with the aristocratic families. I admire him."
Li Qinzai looked at him with a strange expression: "The Li family of Zhaojun killed a horse at the entrance of my village, Zhuangzi. You Baiqisi must know about it, right?"
"of course I know."
Li Qinzai stared at his face and said, "More than a dozen people died in Li Youdao's house the night before. Do you know about this?"
Song Senruo smiled meaningfully: "It's okay for Baiqisi not to know."
Li Qinzai laughed.
He is a wonderful person and a smart person. No wonder I like to deal with this guy. He is indeed very transparent in his conduct and work.
Song Sen smiled and said: "As long as Li Youdao doesn't report to the official, Baiqisi will certainly not be troublesome. As the saying goes, 'If the people don't promote it, the officials won't investigate it.' We Baiqisi are not a bunch of idle men who have nothing to do when they are full. If he
If you don't say anything, of course you will pretend you don't know anything."
After a pause, Song Sen sighed again: "But I have to say something, Li Xianhou's attack was indeed ruthless. Chang'an is the emperor's imperial city after all, and a dozen lives is really too much..."
Li Qinzai glanced at him: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I don't dare to lower my rank. I just want to give a few words of sincere advice to the Marquis of Li County. There are many official offices in Chang'an, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at you. If the Marquis of Li County acts rashly, it will be easy for others to make accusations. Sometimes a fatal accusation can often harm others.
I will never be able to turn over in my life."
Seeing Song Sen's rare seriousness, Li Qinzai also understood his worries.
In any case, Song Sen's words were so straightforward that he regarded him as a friend. Li Qinzai would be ignorant if he didn't appreciate it.
Patting him on the shoulder, Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Old Song, thank you Jin Yu for your kind words. I will remember your words and try to restrain myself in the future. This time I was forced to have no choice but others had already taken action. If I could endure this tone, I would not even be able to bear it."
My whole family will be ashamed of me."
Song Sen was silent for a moment and said: "You know, the Marquis of Li County, what the Zhao County Li family did to you was not just killing horses at the entrance of the village, but also the current momentum of the Chang'an government and the public, the rumors in the market, and inciting the Imperial College students to go to the streets to cause trouble, etc."
etc., all related to the Li family of Zhaojun."
Li Qinzai nodded: "I know."
"The next step is to go to court for impeachment. At that time, countless courtiers will join in, vowing to remove you from the position of examiner. Others have planned to deal with you step by step. Li County Hou Ke
Is there any countermeasure?"
Li Qinzai seemed to have a deep meaning in these words, so he smiled and said: "Old Song, don't be secretive if you have something to say, just say it."
Song Sen chuckled, took out a thick case book from his arms, and muttered: "To be honest, this thing is very precious. If the Marquis of Li County doesn't treat me to a big meal, I will
loss."
Li Qinzai took it and took a look, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.
A thick pile, all filled with black material, and all related to the Li family of Zhao County.
Li Qinzai carefully flipped through the pages, and the more he read, the angrier he became. He closed the case and said angrily: "Originally, I thought it would be a bit harsh to kill more than a dozen of him. But now it seems that the Li family of Zhao County really deserves to die from top to bottom."
ah!"
Song Sen smiled bitterly and said: "It's true that you deserve to die, but you can't die. Even the emperor has to be a little afraid. There are some things that you can only turn a blind eye to."
Li Qinzai pointed at An Zong and said, "Does the emperor know that many things done by the Li family in Zhao County are shaking the foundation of the country?"
Song Senruo said meaningfully: "The emperor knows everything. As I said before, affairs in the court, in the family, and in the world can affect the whole body. Don't be careless."
