The news of Li Heyong's visit to the palace to meet the officials soon spread throughout the court. There was no way to hide it. Many people were still confused about the truth, but some people began to feel uneasy.
Zhao Yuanyan did not expect that Li Heyong would really enter the palace, but he had sent someone to tell Li Heyong in advance that this was the best opportunity to take revenge on the Liu family.
In Zhao Yuanyan's view, Li Heyong should have interests related to him. As his uncle, he has been suppressed by Liu E for many years. Shouldn't he join forces with him to retaliate against Liu E?
But some people are born with wishful thinking, and not everyone has the same burning desire for revenge.
Li Heyong has looked down upon these things for many years, so that after he entered the palace, Zhao Zhen asked him to make compensation himself, and Li Heyong also shook his head silently.
Being reckless, he didn't care about those rights. When his sister was still alive, she reminded him that as long as the Li family was a little rich, it would be fine. There was no need to become a high official or a noble, because his talents were not qualified for this.
Looking at the current situation in the court, Li Heyong retreated from the bottom of his heart. His job as a pointer in Jingcang Caochang was considered a good job. He could do it well and feel comfortable doing it.
Before leaving the palace, Li Heyong passed by Zuo Chengtian Xiangfu Gate under the guidance of Lan Jizong, and saw a young official wearing a beheading uniform under the horizontal gate. He soon knew that this was the famous official.
The Marquis of Yunzhong County, Ye An Ye Changsheng.
He walked over quickly, crossed his hands and saluted Ye An, saying, "Thank you so much for your advice to Marquis Ye about my sister!"
Ye An was slightly surprised, but then he was relieved. As Concubine Li Chen's brother, he must know something about it. He smiled and held Li Heyong's arm and said: "Uncle, there is no need to be like this. I am just fulfilling my duty as a minister!"
Now that I am promoting the Imperial City, I cannot talk to my uncle too much, so please forgive me."
Li Heyong nodded repeatedly, and just as he was about to leave, he remembered what happened the day before. After looking around, he said: "The day before yesterday, when the officials summoned Li, someone came to their home and said... that person who once treated the Li family harshly is now...
When you rebel, you will destroy your home!"
Seeing Li Heyong looking in the direction of the Huangyi Palace, Ye An knew who he was talking about, and then said: "I wonder if your uncle knows who the entrusted person is?"
Li Heyong smiled bitterly and said: "Li doesn't know that that person is just an ordinary Confucian scholar. It may be difficult to see in the market. As for the person behind the scenes... I'm afraid he won't show up!"
"Who does my uncle guess it is?"
"It's not good to mess around."
Ye An nodded. Li Heyong was really honest and did not want to get involved in the palace affairs at this time. However, Ye An did not intend to let him go. After all, he was the uncle of the country and respected both emotion and reason.
Trapped in it.
"The Queen Mother died due to the epidemic, and the official family almost recovered from the illness. Someone has been coveting the position of the Tian family for a long time!"
After the words fell, Li Heyong was shocked, looked in the direction he came from in shock, and said tremblingly: "Is it possible that someone really dares to do something treasonous and unethical?!"
Ye An nodded slightly: "Uncle Guo, keep to yourself, be careful to keep silent and push away the power. Don't you know that you are already involved in it? This time your entry into the palace may be spread in the court. Please cooperate with me, Imperial City Secretary
Investigate and deal with it!"
Li He nodded stiffly, but then frowned and said: "Li has no talent and no talent, how can he help Ye Hou?"
Ye An showed a mysterious smile and looked at Li Heyong and said slowly: "Since someone is looking for you once, they will look for you a second time. Now that you are entering the palace to face the saint, some people will not be able to bear it anymore and will eventually come again."
There are many brokers in Tokyo who are looking for you. As long as you follow the map, you will definitely gain something. This is also for the sake of the government!"
As soon as Zhao Zhen was mentioned, Li He immediately became determined with his timid eyes, nodded slowly and said: "Li knows, I wonder how Ye Hou needs Li to match him?"
Ye An waved his hand: "No need to be pretentious, just follow the steps and everything is normal. Leave everything to me, the Imperial City Department will act safely, and the Li family will never be harmed!"
Li Heyong nodded repeatedly. He didn't know that the few more words he said had already given Ye An an excellent breakthrough point.
When there is a suspect, it is generally safe to carry out the investigation. Now Ye An has set his sights on a certain clan member. Although he did not say it clearly, the direction of the Imperial City Division's investigation was pointed at him.
It is impossible to think without gain.
The hardest and easiest thing in the world is "fishing". As long as you have enough patience and use the right bait, you can always catch something without disturbing the fish.
But this time Ye An miscalculated...
The sky was getting dark, and in the Pig Killing Alley, the neighbors stood at the door calling their children's names to call them home for dinner. The children's screams and laughter filled the entire alley.
"The sour scholar is drunk again!"
When some children saw the figure staggering back from the alley entrance, they shouted and left without looking carefully.
The parents at the door immediately scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, Sun Xiucai is a scholar, and our letters are all from people we invite, so please be polite!"
After saying that, he said to the drunk scholar: "Sun Xiucai, did you make money today?"
Sun Xiucai smiled and said: "That's natural! I made money, made a lot of money! Someone asked me to do something, hehehe... I got a lot of money as a reward!"
After saying that, he shook the money bag as if to show off and made a sound. Hearing the sound, the neighbor couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You must be a scholar! You will know that there are silver beans when you hear this sound!"
"That's right! If a man wants to fulfill his life's ambition, he should read the Six Classics diligently in front of the window! The late emperor sincerely will not deceive me!"
At this time, he dared to speak like the late emperor. The neighbor frowned and took the child and went home. It is better for people who drink too much to be as knowledgeable as him.
Sun Xiucai smiled scornfully. These neighbors were just traffickers and lackeys. How could they know the "big things" he was doing?
Staggering into the house, he groped for a fire folding piece and put it in front of his eyes several times but couldn't blow it. Sun Xiucai was furious and threw it to the ground, but he bent down to look for it again, but when he looked for it, he came across a pair of
Feet wearing thin-soled fast boots...
…
Wang De walked through the garden all the way to the edge of the water pool in Prince Jing's Mansion. He couldn't help but tremble when he saw Zhao Yuanyan standing on the high platform by the water and looking into the forbidden area.
"Your Majesty, this servant has confirmed it."
Zhao Yuanyan sighed slightly: "That's good. I didn't want to kill him, but unfortunately I always feel uneasy. It's better to kill him, kill him cleanly, and cut off the cause and effect!"
"Best regards, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Yuanyan looked at Wang De and said: "I warn Zhao Zongli that he must not seek Li Heyong again at this time. This person is cautious and considerate of the Tian family. He would rather wrong himself than embarrass the officials. How can such a person be so cruel as to slander him?"
Saint? If this line cannot be used, it must be cut off, lest it burns you and the gain outweighs the loss!"
Wang De immediately nodded and said: "I know this, so I will send the message personally!"
After he walked away, Zhao Yuanyan turned around and sighed: "After all, it was too late to start. If I could kill two birds with one stone, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation. The hidden stakes in the palace were temporarily unavailable. He, Ye An, took over the imperial city."
What kind of measures does the Secretary want to use?"
The cold wind blew by, but no one answered. Zhao Yuanyan looked at the palace with an increasingly gloomy expression.
In his opinion, the lofty throne should have belonged to him, but unexpectedly it was taken away by Zhao Heng... He still can't figure out why he should pass the throne to the incompetent fifth brother Zhao Heng when he is clearly the most favored by his father.
?
He is neither the eldest son nor the best among many princes, so why him?!
