Chapter 82
Chapter 0082 You! This is asking for death! Absolutely lifeless!!
“The point is, Zhu Heng is still so young.
Li Shanchang’s eyes flickered:”When our group of veterans pass away, he will be in the prime of life.””
“Who can compare with him?”
The words fell.
Li Qi was completely silenced.
By then, wouldn’t he be dissatisfied with the civil and military affairs of the court and the Zhu party?
Thinking of that scene, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“Compared with Zhu Heng, what are the noble Huaixi nobles who even those calculating people can’t understand?”
“But you are not much better than Huaixi Xungui, and you also have no knowledge of people, so accepting this job for your father also leaves a way out for you and the Li family.……”
Li Shanchang said:”If you handle this case for your father, you will become Zhu Heng’s person. My father can be regarded as the first Zhu Dang in the court.”
Li Qi’s heart that had just fallen to the bottom suddenly rose again, and he said excitedly:”Really, really?”
“There is no need to be so happy.
Li Shanchang sighed:”In the future, there will definitely be many young talents vying to attach themselves to Li Shanchang.””
“As my father is getting old, I don’t have time to have much friendship with Zhu Heng.”
Hearing this, Li Qi hesitated and said:”Father…Actually, I can do it too.……”
“you?”
Li Shanchang glanced at Li Qi sadly, smiled bitterly and said,”Stop your wishful thinking.”
“Are you worthy of being attached to Zhu Heng?”
Li Qi suddenly became dissatisfied.
After all, I am still the future Duke of Korea and the current prince-in-law. No matter how many people want to attach themselves to me, I don’t want them.
Am I not worthy of being attached to Zhu Heng?
Li Shanchang shook his head and said:”When Tang He was in Guo Zixing, There are thousands of households in the army, and Your Majesty is just a pawn.”
“But Tang He has been hanging around His Majesty all day long.”
“This is called knowing people!”
“Do you have this kind of vision?”
“Tanghe’s Qianhu was created by himself. Your status comes from being a father!”
“What skills and abilities do you have that are worthy of being attached to Zhu Cheng’s sect?”
“me……”
Li Qi’s face turned red from holding back, and he was”me” there for a long time without getting anything done.
It is simply shameful.
When Li Shanchang saw this, he sighed and said:”Although you are not a playboy, you are just a middle-aged man.””
“In the future, relying on his status as consort and the title of Duke of South Korea, he will be able to keep the Li family wealthy. As a father, I will be thankful to God. If I really want to do something, I just need to remember one thing and try my best to curry favor with Zhu Heng.”
“If you are lucky enough, you might have a chance to be accepted by Zhu Heng as his disciple.……”
Li Qi felt lost and had complicated moods.
As a son of a prince, he was not qualified to rely on Zhu Heng despite being so insignificant in front of Zhu Heng. Li Shanchang picked up the piece of paper on the table, which was full of names:”According to this list, go and capture the important criminals.”
Li Qi After receiving the list, I suddenly felt a chill all over my body:”Pingliang Marquis Fei Ju, Ji’an Marquis Lu Zhongheng, Zhongqin Bo Wang Guangyang”
There were as many as eighteen people on this list, large and small!
They are all marquis and counts among the nobles of Huaixi!
Without these people, the Huaixi nobles would lose half of their country!
“Is this over?”
Li Qi raised his eyes in shock, his face turned pale:”Just because they plotted against Zhu Heng, they will destroy eighteen nobles when they come to power?”
The implication of this case is so wide that it can be called a massacre against the nobles of Huaixi!
“As a father, I am afraid that I will write too little.
Li Shanchang shook his head and said,”The names of Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang are not written on it yet.””
“As a father, I still want to protect myself a way out.”
Li Qi even took a breath of cold air.
These two people are the core figures of Huaixi Xungui!
If they die, Huaixi Xun will completely fall apart!
At the same time, this also means that his own family will have to bear his own responsibility completely. There is no way out for ruining the reputation of Huaixi nobles!
The people in his hometown will poke his spine and scold him!
From now on, the Li family will completely eliminate themselves from Huaixi!
“Just for Zhu Heng, would His Majesty abandon these old subordinates who have followed him for many years?
Li Qi was in disbelief:”This is too childish. He doesn’t weigh the pros and cons?””
“Compared with Huaixi nobles and Zhu Heng, who is more important?”
“Your Majesty has given you the answer tonight”
“You don’t understand His Majesty.”
Speaking of this, Li Shanchang said with a complex expression:”Your Majesty has only one creed in life and work!”
“Either don’t do it”
“Do something absolutely”
“If he believes in Zhu Heng, he will believe it to the end”
“The person who harmed Zhu Heng will be in bad luck.”
Late at night
, in the capital, messengers left the Li Mansion one by one and went to various noble houses to deliver messages, inviting them to visit the Li Mansion.
The centipede was dead but not stiff.
What’s more, Li Shanchang is one of the founding fathers of the Six Kingdoms and the first civil servant. Even if he is dismissed as prime minister, no one dares to ignore his invitation.
When officials are brought in with doubts, they see Li’s eldest son. Li Qi was waiting to greet him at the door, and everyone was trembling in their hearts.
The Li Mansion seemed particularly quiet in the night, and everyone felt that the Li Mansion was like a giant beast that swallowed people.……
“Sir, why did Mr. Li call us here in the middle of the night? Why didn’t Mr. Hu Xiang Hu Ge come? Fei Ju, who had always been unruly, couldn’t help but put away his temper at this moment and asked Li Qi in a low voice.
Li Qi just smiled softly and said:”Hu Xiang didn’t expect that my father would invite you in the middle of the night.” are you coming?”
Fei Ju suddenly smiled awkwardly after hearing this.
But he couldn’t ask any more questions.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Most of them were military generals.
Without Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang and other civil servants to make plans, there was no backbone for a few people approaching the study.
However, their expressions changed. The person sitting in the study room was Li Shanchang, and the figure sitting sideways was Mao Xiang.
He seemed to have been tired for a long time, and his eyes were bloodshot, and he was staring coldly. Everyone, this look makes everyone feel uncomfortable.
This is Mao Xiang, the emperor’s number one eagle, Zhu Yuanzhang. After the founding of the country, his suspicion became more and more serious, and his control over his ministers became more and more strict. The power of the pro-military captain’s mansion also expanded accordingly.
They would even monitor the comments of the ministers in the middle of the night!
If there are not many spies from the pro-military captain’s house, it only means that you are not an important person in the eyes of the emperor.
Therefore, even if someone knows who is in your family. The people in the pro-jun captain’s mansion didn’t dare to say anything, so they could only let the surveillance take place.
When everyone saw Mao Xiang, they felt more fear than disgust.
Who knew if he had something in his hands?
But now…
it was midnight.
What did it mean to see Mao Xiang in Li Shanchang’s house in the middle of the night ? Everyone thought that Li Shanchang suddenly called everyone in the middle of the night but did not call Hu Weiyong because he realized that his position as the leader of Huaixi was not guaranteed.
I wanted to win over one or two in private.
But now, everyone was feeling uneasy.
Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang and others were not here.
Naturally, Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng were the first to come forward to salute.
Li Gong
”
“Lu Zhongheng, the lower official, paid homage to Mr. Li.”
“No need to be polite. With this vicious Mao Xiang by his side, even Li Shanchang felt a little uncomfortable, so he went straight to the point and said,”I suddenly called you here today because there is a case to be handled at the pro-military Captain’s Mansion.””
Speaking of this,
Li Shanchang remained silent.
Mao Xiang said coldly:”There is a case today.”
“On the outskirts of Beijing, there is a mile-long village named Zhu Heng, who was assigned as a household in recent times.”
“But most of the mares assigned to him were infertile.”
“If he fails to pay when due, the government will accuse him of crimes and punish him.”
“This is a frame-up for him, and I will investigate the case.”
After saying this, everyone was suddenly in disbelief.
They were still thinking about what happened when Mao Xiang and Li Shanchang suddenly called them and others in the middle of the night.
They thought about all the bad things they had done in the past.
I just didn’t think about this. Is this a big deal? It’s true that I and others used Ma Zheng to murder Zhu Heng, but this is just a common method of strife in the officialdom. Who has not been plotted by political opponents before?
, then what kind of official are you?
Even if you get to Zhu Yuanzhang, he will probably punish himself and others and just turn a blind eye.
Why is this in officialdom ? Hidden rules.
And let’s talk about it!
Do you have any evidence to call us here?
Fei Ju thought it was ridiculous:”Commander Mao called us here in the middle of the night under the pretense of Mr. Li?
When Mao Xiang heard this, he slowly narrowed his eyes and said,”Do you think this is a trivial matter?””
“It’s just a small matter, let a county magistrate handle it, why bother you two.”
Fei Ju laughed.
Li Shanchang sighed softly, closed his eyes, and couldn’t bear to read any more.
The other people’s comments were still reaching his ears.
“Yes, everyone has to obey the corvee, and there are just a few horses on the left and right. Is it worth going to war?”
“I have a few war horses in my camp. If they don’t work, I’ll hand them over for him!”
“Is this little thing worth bothering everyone with running around in the middle of the night? It’s okay, I’m going back to sleep.”
Suddenly scoffed!
——Pull out the shining Yan Ling knife from its sheath.
Everyone’s voices suddenly fell silent.
Then Fei Ju laughed angrily:”Who the hell hasn’t seen a knife! You didn’t know where you were when I was cutting people!” But
Lu Zhongheng stopped him, frowned and said:”Mr. Li, Commander Mao, where are you?” Wang this”
“We are all colleagues, so don’t make a fuss over some trivial matters.”
“Mr. Li, please advise Mao to command the envoy.”
Li Shanchang closed his eyes and rested, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.
Fei Ju’s face twitched, and he looked at Mao Xiang coldly and said:”Commander Mao, the scene is ugly enough, it’s just a bit bigger than this. Are you done with the little things?”
Mao Xiang said with a cold face:”Little things?”
“More than 3,000 people from the pro-military captain’s mansion searched the case all day and night.”
“My search failed, so I need two hundred military sticks.”
“Do you think this is a trivial matter?”
The words fell.
Fei Ju was stunned.
Lu Zhongheng’s face was full of doubts, he frowned, and was about to say something more.
But at this time, Mao Xiang’s eyes were like a hawk and he scanned everyone coldly:”Now in the prison, Taipu Temple More than a dozen officials, big and small, have died in prison.”
“There are also people who are on the way to capture more than a thousand members of the three tribes who committed suicide.”
“His Majesty personally inquired and supervised the case”
“Do you think this is a trivial matter?”
The faces of all Huaixi nobles turned pale instantly.
Fei Ju’s face was full of shock and he lost his voice:”Your Majesty? How could this matter directly alarm His Majesty?
Mao Xiang’s face was still cold and he continued:”Today, His Majesty came to the South Korean government in person to ask who the murderer would be.””
“So you came here”
“What do you think now”
“Conspiracy to kill Zhu Heng”
“Is it a small thing?”
It was Zhu Yuanzhang who captured him and others!
When they thought of this, everyone’s faces turned pale and their legs and feet became weak.
There was a pop.
They all knelt on the ground.
This is the power of Zhu Yuanzhang!
Even if only 500 heard Zhu Yuanzhang’s name , they were all so scared that they knelt down. No one knew better than them the horror of Zhu Yuanzhang!
“Now tell me, who instructs you!”
Under Mao Xiang’s cold gaze, everyone looked pale and panicked.
Some people hesitated for a moment and were about to speak.
But at this time,
Fei Ju suddenly said:”No one! It’s up to us!”
Everyone is not surprised by this.
After all, everyone is a rebel, and they know very well that they cannot betray their comrades.
It is not for loyalty.
It is because they have to keep some of their comrades outside to save themselves.
If they are really caught in a net, there will be no It’s really embarrassing for people to speak to themselves. But Hu Weiyong is now a prominent figure, one of the Five Pavilion Elders, and if he gets a few people, the emperor will give him some face, but
Mao Xiang’s eyes turned cold:”You know. What crime have you committed?”
“? Dare you protect your accomplices?”
“If there is no one, then there is no one. Commander Mao, please do as you please. Fei
Ju said with a cold face.
“It’s just a trivial matter, will your Majesty kill me for it?”
Lu Zhongheng also said expressionlessly:”Leave a hint when doing things, so that we can meet each other easily in the future.”
“Why did Commander Mao have to be so aggressive?”
“Good to see you in the future? Mao
Xiang was stunned. He looked at the crowd as if he were a fool and said,”Do you think you still have an old queen?” Everyone was also stunned.
Fei Judu laughed angrily:”Who do you think you are? You dare to despise us just because His Majesty temporarily trusts you?””
“We are the old heroes who have conquered the world with His Majesty!”
“When Your Majesty and I fought our way out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, you didn’t know where your mother-in-law was!”
He was about to have a verbal exchange with Mao Xiang.
But Mao Xiang stopped talking and just looked at everyone with an extremely pitiful look, as if he was looking at a group of dying people.
“What the hell do you mean?!”
This look immediately made Fei Ju and others even angrier.
We are all heroes of the founding of the country.
Even the pro-military captain can’t insult himself like this!
As a result, Mao Xiang stopped talking, but his look was even more pitiful. Meaning:”a bunch of idiots””
“You have no idea who you have offended.”
After that, he no longer argued with this group of people. He just calmly ordered his subordinates:”Lock them all up until His Majesty personally punishes them tomorrow.
But Fei Ju snorted coldly:”No need, I have legs and can walk on my own!””
Following that, he said calmly to Li Shanchang:”Mr. Li, could you please send someone to inform my family and prepare some clothes and bedding for me and send them to the prison?”
“I’ll stay for a few days at most, and then I’ll go back.”
After saying that, he glared at Mao Xiang angrily and left…
