Chapter 345 A step to ease

The Liyuan was the place where musicians and dancers were trained in the Daming Palace, and it was also the place where Concubine Yang spent the most time. She studied music, song and dance with 300 female musicians and dancers every day.

The emperor Li Longji also indulged in this every day, and the government was almost abandoned. He would only intervene in major events, and other ordinary military and state affairs were left to Gao Lishi to handle for him.

Li Longji was obsessed with music, singing and dancing, and choreographed various dance dramas. Therefore, to this day, the opera industry still regards Li Longji as the originator of the industry. This is the opera industry's luck, but it is also the misfortune of the Tang Dynasty.

The last thing Li Longji paid attention to was the Yunyang incident and Li Ye's impeachment incident. After making 150,000 yuan, he devoted himself to Liyuan again and stopped caring about state affairs. Yesterday, he heard Zhang Jun report Li Yu's case, which made him

He became furious and ordered severe punishment.

But after one night, he forgot about this matter and once again indulged in rehearsing the colorful feather dress dance with the imperial concubine.

At this time, Gao Lishi appeared quietly. While Li Longji and Yang Guifei were resting and drinking water, he stepped forward and whispered to Yang Guifei: "Your Majesty, Li Ye, the king of Gaochang County, presented a treasure to your empress."

When she heard the name Li Ye, Concubine Yang's pretty eyes lit up and she smiled and said: "He gave me a precious gem last time, is there any other good treasure?"

Gao Lishi waved his hand, and the three eunuchs carried the birds to the phoenix. Yang Guifei was very interested and carefully admired this statue made of gold and gems. Although it was a common object, its incomparable treasure value still made Yang Guifei

The imperial concubine's heart was pounding.

"Where did he get this treasure?"

"This is the reward given to him by King Bakhna for defending Bakhna and repelling the invasion of Persia and the Stone Kingdom."

Concubine Yang shook her head, "Since it is his glory, I can't take it."

Gao Lishi smiled slightly and said: "Reporting to the queen, General Li told the old slave before that his glory is to repel the evil invasion and protect the safety of the people of Bukhan, not a piece of property!"

"That's well said!"

Li Longji came over, looked at the golden tree and the hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Concubine Yang: "My dear concubine, please accept your wishes!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!"

Concubine Yang asked the eunuchs to carry hundreds of birds toward the phoenix to her palace, and then said to Li Longji: "This child must have something to ask me for. I beg your majesty to give me some face."

"Okay! My beloved concubine has spoken, how can I not agree?"

Concubine Yang bowed and retreated happily.

Li Longji then asked Gao Lishi with a half-smile, "If you have nothing to do to show your courtesy, what does this kid want?"

"He wants to plead for Li Yu!"

Li Longji's expression changed and he flatly refused, "No!"

"Your Majesty, he is not asking your Majesty to forgive Li Yu, but he is asking your Majesty to give Li Yu a fair judgment."

Li Longji heard something in the words and asked coldly: "Is there something fishy in this?"

Gao Lishi nodded: "He said one thing, and I also think it's a bit strange."

"What's weird?"

"He learned that the more than 60 farmers who died were basically killed by crossbow arrows, but Li Yu's policemen were not equipped with military crossbows at all. If this is true, there is indeed a problem."

Li Longji nodded, "What you said is a bit strange. In your opinion, how should I deal with it?"

"Lao Nu means to ask the Ministry of Punishment, Yushitai, Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion to form a joint investigation team and rush to Heyang County to investigate the truth."

Li Longji was so emotionally intelligent that he immediately recognized the hidden secrets in Gao Lishi's words. He smiled and said, "It must be his request for Jingzhao Mansion to participate!"

"Your Majesty, maybe someone is targeting Li Linfu in this matter. Li Ye is afraid that someone in the court will add insult to injury. He hopes that his father will also participate in the investigation. I guess he will also follow suit."

Li Longji knew very well that this case was most likely against Li Linfu, so he said calmly: "For the sake of his filial piety to the noble concubine, I'm sure!"

Zhang Jun hurried to Gao Lishi's official room, bowed and said: "Mr. Gao, Li Yu has already pleaded guilty, why bother? There is no need for a joint investigation!"

Gao Lishi said calmly: "More than sixty people have died. It's a very important matter. It's normal for your Majesty to be cautious."

"But he has confessed!"

"Just because he pleads guilty does not mean that he is the culprit. If Li Linfu sent someone to do it, and he asked his grandson to take the blame and kill Li Yu, would it benefit Li Linfu?"

"This is impossible!"

Gao Lishi smiled and said: "Maybe the Holy One wants to take advantage of this opportunity? Do you think so?"

Zhang Jun's face changed. He really didn't know what Gao Lishi meant.

He said after a while: "Okay! I support the Holy Lord's decision in my humble position and thoroughly investigate the matter. In addition, Li Dai is Li Yu's uncle. It is not appropriate for him to join the joint investigation team! He should avoid it."

"Li Dai is an upright and selfless official. The Holy One trusted him and allowed him to participate in the investigation on behalf of the Li family. This case must not only be explained to the world, but also to the Li family. To kill Li Yu, the Li family must also be convinced.

oral."

This reason was rather reluctant. Zhang Jun already understood in his heart that the Li family might have followed Gao Lishi's path. Gao Lishi interceded with the Li family, so he re-investigated.

But he did not dare to offend Gao Lishi, and bowed and said: "Gao Weng is right, it is related to the reputation of the old prime minister, and it must be handled with caution. I humbly recommend Dali Si Zhi Cheng Xiao to participate in the investigation on behalf of Dali Temple!"

Gao Lishi nodded, "Okay!"

After a pause, Gao Lishi said again: "To prevent Li Yu from committing suicide, I have asked Qianniu Guard General Zhang Wu to take over Li Yu's guard!"

This is Mr. Jiang's spiciness. Before announcing the plan, he controlled Li Yu first. It was too late to kill someone and silence him.

The news spread quickly, and the Yuwen family also got the news. Yuwen Tong was really nervous and immediately called Yu Wenwei for questioning.

Yu Wenwei smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, third uncle, I didn't meet the robbers at all. They don't know who paid for it, and the middleman doesn't know my identity, and I killed him."

Yu Wentong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I don't know what happened, but the emperor has issued an order to investigate the peasant massacre in Heyang County. I'm worried that the investigation will reveal the truth. Do you want us to make some remedial measures?"

Yu Wenwei pondered for a moment and said: "The emperor ordered the investigation. It must be the Li family who found connections to intercede. We can't act rashly at this time. The Li family must be suspicious of us. If we move, they will easily catch us."

Yu Wentong nodded, "What you said makes sense. As long as we are safe and sound, we can wait for another opportunity!"

The sunshine had been warm and prosperous for several days. At noon, several servants carried Li Linfu to the yard to bask in the sun. Li Xiu also accompanied his father.

Li Linfu glanced at his eldest son and asked in a weak voice: "Why don't you go to court?"

"The child asked for leave specifically to take care of his father!"

Li Linfu nodded slightly. Although his eldest son was mediocre in ability, he was very good in filial piety.

At this time, the quarrel between the second eldest brother Li Wei and the third eldest child Li Yu came from outside the yard, "You are going too far. How can you monopolize the fifth son's yard? We will let father judge!"

Li Xiu was furious. His father was so ill and he actually fought for the real estate in front of his father. Damn it!

Li Xiu strode out of the courtyard and angrily scolded the two brothers, "You two bastards, you spend all day doing nothing but failure. Don't interfere with your father's recovery. Get out of here!"

Li Er was a little angry after being scolded. He said fiercely: "You should take care of your son! If your head is about to fall off, who have the right to accuse us!"

"Don't talk nonsense here!"

Li Xiu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. His father was in the yard! He must have heard this.

Li Xiu hurried back to the yard and saw his father shaking all over. Li Xiu was so anxious that he knelt down and said, "Father, Yu'er is fine. Thirty-eighth Lang has already come to help the child."

The four words "Sanshibalang" were like a quick-acting life-saving pill. Li Linfu, who was shaking with anger just now, slowly calmed down.

"What's going on?" Li Linfu asked calmly.

"Father, it was the Yuwen family who attacked Yu'er. They provoked the peasants to make trouble, and pretended to be the government to suppress the peasants. The peasants suffered a lot of casualties. Yu'er was impeached and questioned. Thirty-eight Lang went to ask Gao Lishi for help, and the emperor gave us

a chance."

Li Linfu closed his eyes, then slowly opened them after a while and asked, "Where is the fifth child?"

"He is also going to Heyang. He is also a member of the investigation team."

Li Linfu sighed slightly, "Go back to the house!"
