Zhu Xiang and Zhu Di looked at each other in surprise. Li Qi was tied up without any complaint. Hearing the name of Jin Yiwei, he was very happy. Zhu Xiang pointed to his forehead inquiringly, did he mean that it was the fourth child?
Could it be that my one-tongue kick was so hard that I beat that dignified Korean prince into a fool?
Zhu Di rolled his red eyes and ignored Zhu Xi. He turned to Li Qi behind the curtain and said, "I beg you to report the confession? What are you asking for? Let's talk about it now. Once I know about it, I will report it to the Holy Spirit immediately."
"
Unexpectedly, Li Qi would not cooperate again at that time. He frankly said that he had to meet Bhidong or the prince before he could face him. After all, his father had planned it, so the less people knew about it, the better. Are those people in front of him really the Jin Yiwei?
On the other hand, if the enemy sent him, wouldn't it mean that Ping Hong killed his father?
Despite all the talk, Li Qi refused to let go. An angry Zhu Ping picked up his long stick and said angrily: "Fourth brother, there is no need to talk to him any more. He will not reveal the truth until he convinces others with his virtue..."
With that said, he opened the curtain and rushed towards Li Qi.
Li Qi was still wondering what it meant to convince people with virtue, when he saw that the second prince, Diandong, was holding a stick with the word "virtue" tattooed on his head and begging to hit him aggressively. He couldn't help but be stunned. His feelings were not that of "persuading people with virtue"
.Speaking of which, the dignified second prince can actually do things like kidnapping people?
The stick in Zhu Xiang's leg was actually the stick he used to block the gap when he set fire to Shanhaiguan and knocked out many Mongolian generals at once. Because there were so many prisoners that night, he was recorded as a soldier, and he was rewarded with an official position after he came back.
Is it true that Zhu Chongcuo's stick that "conquers people with virtue" is as ruthless as a treasure? After he came back, he had someone tattoo the word "virtue" on the stick, and he never left it for a moment during the week. Li Qi didn't know the allusion, so he
I felt that it was unbecoming of Zhu Feng, with his dignity as the second prince, to carry a stick.
When Bu Nao saw Zhu Fang, Li Qi's eyes lit up again: after asking several questions just now, he thought that Fou Zhu was pretending to be a Jin Yiwei to deceive him. So Fou Zhu was surprised and shouted: "Second Prince, Second Prince
Prince, take him to see His Majesty the Emperor quickly, he has something to ask for and please report it to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Seeing Zhu Xi rushing out, Zhu Di quickly came out from behind the curtain and stopped the reckless second brother. Seeing that Zhu Di was also there, Li Qi was even more delighted and kept asking to meet Chen Bidong. Zhu Di thought about it and saw that he was like that
He was very sincere and thought that there should be no delay, so he ordered to go east and took Li Qi with him all the way to the imperial city.
Along the way, when Li Qi broke the news that the reason why the Yushitai could not find anything fishy was because the Ministry of Household Affairs hid all the problematic files in the back, Zhu Fang said angrily: "How come those people have no flaws at all?"
Damn my legs and feet!"
"How dare you fool him like this? Are you afraid of deceiving the emperor?"
"As for changing the position of the copywriter, it can't be considered as deceiving the emperor." Zhu Di said. Then he asked Li Qi: "Moving the file to a later date is just an expedient to delay time. They are afraid that he will find out later.
When the incident comes, will the incident be revealed directly?"
"They already have a plan to deal with it." Li Qi's face looked a little ugly. "You two masters, please hurry up. If it's not too late, you might miss something important."
If he hadn't waited for the nobles to arrive at the mansion, and his father had successfully bridged the gap between the civil and military parties... By then, according to what was recorded in the history books of the old dynasty, the Li family would have shed their skin even if they were not dead.
The carriage flew by and arrived at the palace gate in a moment. Zhu Di and Zhu Ping took Li Qi into the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. When they arrived at the Jinshen Hall, Lao Zhu was discussing the details of the new tax system with Liu Bowen, Zhu Su, and Zhu Biao.
Seeing Zhu Xi and Zhu Di entering the palace, Lao Zhu looked happy and said: "Second and fourth children. Come on, come on. Mingyue came into the palace so early. Could it be that some clues have been found in the case?"
Just as Zhu Di was about to shut up, Zhu Xi rushed over and said, "If I tell you back to my father, although nothing has been found in the Ministry of Household Affairs, I have found some clues by finding another way!"
With that said, he told everything about Li Qi's kidnapping at noon and his confession.
Lao Zhu's face became ugly. Zhu Su and Zhu Biao looked at the second brother with speechless expressions. Zhu Di next to him also had a helpless face. He wanted to help the second brother take care of him lightly, but he didn't expect the second brother.
He committed suicide and took the matter of beating someone as a sap as a merit... Seeing Lao Zhu Qiu getting angry, Zhu Biao quickly changed the subject and said: "Dad, since Li Qi said that he has something to report, why not listen to what he thinks first?"
Please say something."
"Maybe what he asked for a report is not the key to the case. I don't know."
"I know the brothers who are protecting me!" Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Biao, but did not refute his face. With Zhu Ping's confused look on his face, he waved his leg to call Li Qi in. Li Qi
There was a big bump on his forehead. When he saw Lao Zhu, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Li Qi, pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty bow down and be blessed!"
"Get up." Li Qifu was a nerdy scholar, which was far from the type of ministers that Lao Zhu valued. Therefore, Lao Zhu was not familiar with the prince, so he waved his legs when he saw him. "Li Qi, listen.
I said that I have something urgent and I want to talk to you. I am right there to listen, and I will stop talking."
Li Qi bowed his head and successfully met the emperor. If not, Li Qi could no longer hide it. He told all the officials he heard at home that they were looking for Li Shanchang and the strategies Li Shanchang had for those people.
"Bang!" Lao Zhu listened and suddenly slapped the armrest of the dragon chair. Li Qi, who was still talking, was shocked all over. "What a Li Shanchang... He actually used the official tools of our court to hook up with all the officials.
...Does he want to test whether our sword is sharp?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Li Qi was so frightened that he kept telling the truth because he didn't want to harm his old father's head. "My father is unwilling to be lonely and wants to come back... He has no intention of rebelliousness!"
"Besides, this matter has not yet been completed. At noon on the bright moon, my father will be at home to invite all the princes and nobles in the court..."
"I very much hope that your Majesty will be able to stop me and prevent my father from really showing kindness to the princes... Li Qi wants my father to be an idle prince. He really can't bear to see my father act so arrogantly and do evil to your Majesty!"
After saying that, he knelt down to Lao Zhu in an almost prostrate posture.
Zhu Su looked at the Korean prince and thought that Li Shanchang's family was very kind and filial. The father planned to come back to power, while the son went out early in the morning and wanted to inform... You can also understand what Li Shanchang did.
It is said that it is only in the "planning" stage, and there is no real action. Therefore, even if Lao Zhu is convicted, the most he can do is to be fined behind closed doors.
If Li Shanchang had actually hosted a banquet for the nobles, become a middleman, and hooked up with all the civil and military officials...then he would have really touched Lao Zhu's evil side. With Lao Zhu's temperament, even if he died ten times, it would not be possible.
Stupid.
Is Li Shanchang really brave? Or because at that time, Lao Zhu had never opened the four major cases. When he was punishing Hu Weiyong, he also summarized what he said about future generations' evaluation of the four major cases, as well as the relationship between the prince and Queen Ma.
Admonition, no mass killings.
That made Li Shanchang and others feel that the emperor was kind and could be bullied, but he was nostalgic for old friendships. In this case, it was better to give it a try. If it didn't work, there might be a life-saving elixir in the family.
In the hearts of Li Shanchang and those court officials who had not been in office a few months ago, they might also look down on Lao Zhu a little, thinking that Lao Zhu had a humble background after all. He was more crooked than those in the court, and he might not be as good as them.
The veterans of Yuanting's past. Moreover, the business shop is not a capital offense. At most, it can make the Holy Heart displeased and go home to work in the east field.
Although there is no shop, if we can get so much land from the noble family, at worst, we can go home to farm and study and pass down the family inheritance. I hope that the family property will still be there, and if I can teach a talented child, I will eventually be able to serve as an official in the court.
one day...
There are only so many scholars in the rest of the world. Even if you don't become an official, can your family members do the same?
