Li Ye came out of the Daming Palace. It was still early. He immediately rode to Taipingfang and bought two strong leather boxes in a grocery store in the square. He carried the boxes to his house. The three members of Lao Kou's family were still there.
Look after the house for him.
Li Ye gave Uncle Kou a year's wages and rewarded him with an additional ten coins. Uncle Kou accepted it with great gratitude.
Li Ye smiled and asked, "Has anyone been here since I left?"
"My wife and the master came back to report on their duties and stayed there for a few days. Aunt Mu was also there, but there seemed to be no others."
Aunt Kou said dissatisfiedly: "You damn old man, you actually forgot about that little lady?"
Li Ye asked curiously: "Which little lady?"
Uncle Kou said with a bitter face: "Not long after the young master left last year, a young lady came. She was quite tall. She seemed to call Miss Zhuque."
Li Ye nodded and smiled: "She is my senior sister, what's wrong with her?"
"She said that the young master promised to give her the polo club, but she had no evidence, and the young master didn't tell me, so of course I didn't dare to agree to give it to her. Then we suddenly found her coming out of the young master's study, holding the young master's polo in her hand.
She jumped on the roof and left. She said you promised and you must keep your word!"
Speaking of this, Uncle Kou sighed and said: "Master, she is very skilled in martial arts, I really can't stop her, I'm really sorry!"
Li Ye smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I did promise her, but I forgot to tell you and let you worry for more than a year."
Uncle Kou and Aunt Kou looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, "Then we'll feel at ease!"
Li Ye came to his study room and looked around. There was nothing unusual, except that the polo pole hanging on the wall was missing.
In fact, he didn't have any secrets in the study. His biggest secret was the secret room, which Suzaku probably didn't discover. Then there was a gold box buried under the big tree in the yard, which contained the blueprints for opening the Qiao Tomb.
Chen Qing sat in the room for a while, then stood up and opened the iron door of the secret room. He took off the small cloth bag on his chest, which contained ten caliphate gems.
Put the extremely high gems together on the iron stand.
Of course, he also kept part of it for himself and prepared to give it as a favor.
Li Ye thought for a while, then took out a blue gem from the ten Caliphate gems, put it into a small brocade box, put it in his arms and put it away.
Li Ye then took five thousand taels of gold from the iron box containing gold, put it into two large leather boxes, carried it out, and closed the iron door of the secret room again.
In the elegant room on the third floor of Tianranju Restaurant in Pingkangfang, Anqing Zongzheng and Wu Gui drank together.
"Yang Xi has been dead for a month, and the court is acting as if nothing happened. My father is very dissatisfied. He asked us to continue taking action."
Of course, Wu Gui played an important role in Yang Xi's death. He spent a lot of money to bribe Yang Xi's best friend Jin Yuman and asked Jin Yuman to pretend to be ill. He then temporarily arranged a villa in the Jiaofang and asked Qiao Furong to perform a dance and seduce Yang Xi.
Take the bait.
The day after Yang Xi's death, Jin Yuman took leave and returned to his hometown to avoid trouble, but died on the way, and it became an unsolved case.
The key here is Wu Gui's father. Wu Xin, the imperial wine minister, is An Lushan's secret ally. Speaking of which, the Wu family and An Lushan still have some old grudges. An Qingzong's wife, Princess Rongyi, is the daughter of the deposed prince Li Ying, and
Li Ying was killed by Wu Xin's sister Wu Huifei.
But things are so interesting. Of course, An Lushan didn't want to have any grudges with the Wu family, so he made a special trip to make friends with Wu Xin and settle the grudges. After a while, the two actually formed an alliance, and Wu Xin even betrothed his second daughter to An Lushan's son, An Qinghe.
Wu Gui thought for a while and said: "My father said that this matter is not over yet. The emperor is still considering it. If he does too much, will it be counterproductive?"
"You know my father's temper. You cannot change the things he decides. Besides, he has considered it carefully, so we can just do it."
Wu Gui asked again: "Who will we deal with this time?"
An Qingzong dipped his finger in wine and wrote three words on the table, "Yang Xuangui!"
Yang Xuangui is an idle official, relatively easy to deal with, and the risk is not high. Wu Gui nodded, "I will find a way to bribe the people in his house!"
"This matter cannot be delayed and must be implemented as soon as possible!"
In the afternoon, Li Ye met his grandfather Li Linfu again. Li Linfu was in a bad mood. He originally thought that the emperor would reward his grandson Li Ye today, but unexpectedly it was postponed again, making Li Linfu depressed.
"Grandpa seems to be in a bad mood?" Li Ye asked,
Li Linfu sighed and said: "The emperor has not given you a reward for a long time. I am worried that you will have many dreams during the long nights!"
Li Ye was silent for a moment and said: "After the emperor summoned me today, Gao Lishi specifically found me."
Since Sun Tzu said this, it was obvious that Gao Lishi was not looking for him to reminisce about the past. Li Linfu asked: "Why is Gao Lishi looking for you?"
"Regarding the case of Yang Xi's murder, the Emperor is about to close the case. A group of officials have to be dealt with, from the county and government offices to Taichang Temple, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. Then there will also be a prime minister from the Political Hall to take charge.
responsibility."
Li Linfu sneered, "Do you want me to take responsibility?"
"Gao Lishi conveyed the emperor's wishes and hoped that his grandfather would voluntarily resign from the position of prime minister and give up his right to recommend. If his grandfather agrees, Gao Lishi will negotiate terms with his grandfather."
Li Linfu suddenly remembered something and turned pale. Li Xiu, the minister of Dali Temple, was his eldest son, and Zhang Boji, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was his son-in-law. Did the emperor want to use this case to depose his son and son-in-law?
Li Linfu said coldly for a while: "It's really his style to use someone's strength to fight."
"Grandfather, is the delay in receiving the reward for your grandson related to this matter?"
Li Linfu nodded, "It should be that Gao Lishi wants to bargain with me on behalf of the emperor, so he has delayed awarding you."
"Actually, the grandson's reward is not important. The key is that the grandfather should be able to achieve success smoothly. This is the top priority."
"I know that I can balance it. You can lose some other interests, but your step is very important. You must step up and clear the way. If you make achievements in the future, you will not make wedding clothes for others."
Li Ye was silent for a moment and said: "The imperial concubine wants to see me tomorrow!"
Li Linfu was stunned for a moment, and asked with surprise on his face: "What does the imperial concubine have to do with you?"
"She said that she was kidnapped in a dream and that I saved her. Of course, this was just an excuse. She actually wanted some prophecies about her from Fei Long."
"you know?"
Li Ye nodded, "Feilong gave it to me before he died!"
Li Linfu looked at his grandson for a long time and said, "What next?"
"Then I will exchange with the imperial concubine and let my grandfather land safely."
Li Linfu took two steps behind his hands and suddenly said: "Last time, the imperial concubine suggested that the emperor remove me as his right minister and demote me to minister Zuopushe. Does it have something to do with you?"
Li Ye nodded calmly, "She got Feilong's first prophecy. That's my condition."
Li Ye left, and Li Linfu couldn't calm down for a long time. He had known for a long time that this grandson was not an ordinary person, otherwise Feilong would not value him so much, and Gao Lishi would not give him a longevity card. Thinking about it, he was only sixteen years old and already in
He made great achievements and started a business in the Western Regions, and it was his own choice to go to the Western Regions. He had already known that there would be opportunities there.
This is the son of destiny given to me by God!
Thinking of the 'Son of Destiny', Li Linfu suddenly remembered a past event. When he was a child, his father took him to find the famous fortune teller Yuan Keshi who lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain to read his fortune. Yuan Keshi was already in his seventies, but he was
He would read people's faces again, but he still made an exception and had his own face read once.
Yuan Keshi said that he would be a very popular minister in the future, and his descendants would be in trouble. If he could survive the disaster, he would be extremely valuable.
After seeing the photo, Yuan Keshi sealed his mouth and soon became an immortal.
Before his death, his father told him Yuan Keshi's fortune-telling, but he didn't take it to heart at all. At that time, he was in his prime, and he had the dream of every royal family member in his heart. He dreamed that he could be favored by Wu Zetian, and one day he would do it.
Able to reach the 95th position.
But decades later, when he became prime minister, he remembered that Yuan Keshi's fortune-telling was absolutely accurate.
What about your descendants? 'My descendants will face calamity, and if they can overcome it, they will be extremely valuable.'
He said that his descendants will be in trouble, but if he can overcome this difficulty, he will be extremely noble. He is already an extremely human minister. Does that mean that he is even more noble?
Li Linfu suddenly felt hot all over his body. Will one day he can also enjoy the temple title?
At this moment, Li Xiu brought his eldest grandson Li Yu outside the door and asked to see him.
