"Have you finished talking to the magistrate?"

"Well, Liu Bai will change this defense?"

"Yes, what is this? It smells so good."

"Snake soup, will Liu Bai eat it?"

"Can you eat it?!"

"It's OK."

"That's great! Thank you, Mr. Li!"

"You don't have to be polite, just leave the plate. I'll pick it up tomorrow... By the way, Liu Bai will think of my skills?"

"Of course there's nothing to say..."

Li Zhaocheng was quite satisfied after hearing Liu Jinsuo's praise.

Looking back, when he suffered a disaster at home, he was adopted by Li Yong. At first, he always felt that he should do something to rely on others, so he often went to the kitchen to help.

Later, Li Yong told him not to cook and should study hard, but Li Zhaocheng really liked cooking.

Along the way, he thought about which dish to make tomorrow. When he returned home, he saw Li Yong still waiting in the hall.

"Father, I've met my second brother."

"How can you see what you see?"

"Confirm that he has abstinence."

Li Yong asked, "Why do you make an assertion?"

Li Zhaocheng said without thinking: "Because there is only one possibility. My father thought about it for a long time, could he still not recognize this son?"

~~

Li Xia thought she would be very busy after returning to Qingfu County.

More than 100,000 people need to be moved from Xuzhou to resettle, and the land needs to be opened and expanded; Qingfu Army needs to expand and reorganize; Weining is under construction, so it needs to contact and support...

He was really busy, but a few days later, he found that he was not as expected.

Fang Yankai and Li Yong have the ability to manage a county. After accepting Li Xia's plan, he can handle many things in an orderly manner. The Han family and his son are also very talented and are more and more skillful in doing things.

Although Li Xia was not idle, she had no excuse to avoid Li Yong.

He did not avoid trouble, but met Li Yong.

"Recently, I have talked with Brother Zhaocheng several times, and I feel that there may be some misunderstandings between us." Li Xia was quite open and said, "I don't want to give you wrong hopes, but in the end I was disappointed. Just say it, I don't have soul absent disease. It's indeed not your son."

Li Yong looked directly at Li Xia, not shying away from his gaze, but avoided the topic.

"Zhaocheng has 19th this year, but you have not yet written a word, but you already have it... Feiyu." Li Yong shook his head and said, "I thought I would like to take the word "Chengyu" when you add the crown, but I missed it."

"Fei Yu is also very good. His name and character are just code names."

Li Xia gently tapped the table, thought about it, and said, "Before going to Dali, we didn't talk about some things clearly. I'm back this time and I heard that you have done a lot... Thank you."

Li Yong waved his hand and said, "It's just a simple task."

The two of them were silent for a long time in embarrassment.

Li Xia didn't want to talk much, and finally asked: "What are you planning for the Li family and Zhao Yu?"

"Do you still remember this?"

"I remember it, I found it. But I still don't know some specific inside information." Li Xia said, "Although I am not your son, if you can trust me, you can tell me clearly and do your best to help you."

Li Yong leaned on the back of the chair and asked, "Why do you think of asking these now?"

Li Xia said frankly: "My idea of ​​solving problems is different from yours. What you want to use Wu Qian's power, but I think that military power is the king in this troubled world. You should be safe when you stay in Qingfu."

"Why are you asking again today?"

"I don't know what to talk about."

Li Yong thought about it, but did not hide it, and spoke nonsense.

"My elder sister did ask Huang Dingxi to take abortion pills, which almost killed Zhao Hu. Who would have thought that Zhao Hu became the royal heir? The Li family also fell into a disaster. Until five years ago, another case occurred in Lin'an City... Do you remember 'Wei Zi Yao Huang'?"

Li Xia shook her head and said, "I don't remember."

Li Yong said: "The four sisters of the official family married Wei Jun and gave birth to a son named "Wei Guansun". Mrs. Cixian was very fond of this grandson. One day, she chatted with the official family in the palace and wanted to meet her grandson.

However, when a person with a foreign surname enters the harem, he must hang a waist sign, only the children of the royal family can avoid it. The official family thought it was complicated and named Wei Guansun "Zhao Mengguan" at the moment, saying that the official's adopted son entered the palace to face the saint.

Shortly afterwards, there were rumors about "Crown Prince Wei" and "Wei Zi Yao Huang" in Lin'an, which means that "Wei Zi" was born with a noble birth and his biological mother was a princess. "Yao Huang" implied that Zhao Hu, whose biological mother Huang was a slave, said that the official family intended to pass on the nephew."

Li Yong finally said, "Just as rumors were in full swing, Wei Guansun drowned in the Yaopu Lake in Zhao and Rui's Mansion."

Li Xia frowned.

He has been to the Royal Palace of Rong, and he has also passed by the Yaopuchi.

At that time, in Lin'an, if it weren't for his police plane and luck, he would have become a dead bone under the lotus pond.

Li Yong said again: "At that time, Wu Qian was appointed as the right prime minister. When he heard about this major case, he was shocked and begged the officials to investigate thoroughly. As a result, the officials only said that Wei Guansun, the child, jumped into the pool and drowned, and the case was closed in a hurry.

However, Wu Qian had found out that on the day when Wei Guansun drowned, he traveled to the lotus pond with Zhao Qian. No matter who was the mastermind, Zhao Qian must know that the royal heir of a country was not only intellectually disabled, but also so cruel. Wu Qian decided not to allow him to inherit the throne.

Zhao Qian was sheltered by the official family. Wu Qian had no choice but to investigate and find me, asking me to prove that Zhao Qian was not Zhao and Rui's biological child. This matter... I had already refused. Later, Wu Qian stopped the prime minister and left it alone."

Li Xia asked, "What's next?"

"It was April last year that you killed Sun Tianji and went to jail. I realized that the party of Zhongwang was also investigating me. The disaster was coming and there was no way to avoid it.

I have resigned for many years and no one can protect me. I had to burn my house, get out of my life, contact Wu Qian's people, and agree to his request, on the condition that he will protect you all... and also, to rescue you from prison."

Li Xia was silent for a moment and asked, "Isn't Zhao Xu your son?"

Li Yong shook his head and said, "I have no selfish relationship with Huang Dingxi."

"Then why did Wu Qian ask you to testify?"

"Huang Dingxi used to be my personal maid for a while, and then... she became my eldest sister's dowry maid."

"Is there another possibility?" Li Xia said: "Huang Dingxi is the child of a child of the Li family. Zhao Yurui once thought that medicine had fallen into this child, but he was still born. Zhao Yurui saw that several princes of the official family died one after another, and they had the idea of ​​letting Zhao Yu succeed to the throne, so they silenced the Li family."

Li Yong shook his head again and said, "Uncle has always been careful. If this is the case, he would never dare to let Huang Dingxi get married. What's more, if Zhao Yu was not Zhao and Rui's biological child, how could Zhao and Rui do such a thing that would ruin the Zhao family's country?"

"What are you going to do next?"

"Wu Qian's intention to abolish the crown prince was extremely strong." Li Yong said: "He once said that if another foolish emperor like Qinzong would have a far greater consequence of Jingkang's disaster, Zhao Yu... would be farther away than Qinzong."

Li Xia didn't know much about what stupid things Song Qinzong did during the Jingkang Incident, so he couldn't feel the deep fear in Wu Qian's words.

Li Yong patted his knees, looking a little confused, and said, "I have to be protected by Wu Qian and can survive. This matter cannot be avoided. He is now planning to restore his position. When then... he is entrusted by others, he will end his life."

Li Xia said: "I am not saved by Wu Qian."

"You are in Lin'an and have received great kindness from Mr. Mengchuang, have you?"

"You actually know?"

Li Yong nodded and sighed: "You and I will be favored by others, and we must not repay you; we must not repay your blood feuds from my uncle's family. Zhao and Rui and his son forced me to come here, but they had to fight back."

Li Xia said: "If you go, you will surely die."

Li Yong hesitated for a moment and said, "I can probably guess what you are going to do now. Before Wu Qian regained his prime minister, I will do my best to do it. When the future, you should take good care of your elder brother and aunt... Whether you are my son or not, you will definitely be able to do it."

"Maybe you may not need to do that by then."

Li Yong said: "If you are willing to listen to my advice, I will also say that what you do is not meant to be."

"What did you see?"

"I don't know what level you want to do, but how can I not see that it is supported by national strength?"

"Obvious?"

Li Yong said: "You and I have been persecuted by the Zhao clan. This is like Fang Yankai and others. I just think that you are determined to be the general of Shu, and I know."

He asked again in a tentative tone: "Do you want to be respectful and use this to defeat Zhao Yuan?"

Li Xia did not answer.

Li Yong asked, "Do you know Wu Xi?"

"I don't know."

"Seven famous generals of the anti-Jin period in Gaozong were later posthumously named King Han Shizhong, King Fu Liu Guangshi, King Xun Zhang Jun, King E Yuefei, King Yang Yizhong, King Fu Wu Jie, and King Xin Wu Lin.

Among them, Wu Jie and Wu Lin were brothers, managing the Monk Yuan, Raofeng Pass, Xianren Pass and other places, and repeatedly defeated the Jin army, defended Qinlong and blocked Bashu.

Wu Lin's grandson was Wu Xi, who served as deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Sichuan, and also served as the envoy of recruiting peace in Shaanxi and Hedong. In the third year of Kaixi, Wu Xi claimed to be the King of Shu, rebelled against Song and surrendered to Jin, and cedeed the four prefectures of Cheng, He and Feng, and ceded the Jin Kingdom with Tieshan as the national border.

Only forty-one days after he was king, Wu Xi was killed by the official army. The Wu family made great contributions to the western frontier for 80 years and has been flowing eastward since then. Moreover, the court has become increasingly distrustful to the generals who are leading the troops in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and has taken hostage from many parties."

"So the officials today completely distrust Yu Jie? Is it afraid that Yu Jie will follow in Wu Xi's footsteps?"

Li Yong said: "It's not just that I don't trust Yu Jie. Even Pu Zezhi, the court may not trust him."

"Ship Pu?"

"If a general of Shu is at slightest disturbance, he will be demoted. Pu Zhizhi cannot become your backer, and there will be no private soldiers in Shu."

Li Yong said, his expression becoming more and more pessimistic, and he sighed: "In the future, you will be punished and fled to Dali. Don't you want to marry a Dali woman?"
