The doctor made Li Fang stunned when he heard this. He raised his eyes and looked at the guards below: "It took half a day for the secretary and supervisor to find that volume?"
The guard nodded solemnly and said, "It's true that we didn't find him. Tai Shitong went to Age to apologize in person, but King Hongnong scolded him and ordered him to return tomorrow morning. If he can't be found again, he will be killed without mercy."
Hiss~~~
Li Fang couldn't help but gasp.
Now he couldn't hear the word "death" the most, especially when it related to Hongnong King Liu Bian.
Therefore, he became nervous the next moment, his brows furrowed, and his fierce look showed: "It's just a book. If you can't find it, you will die. Could it be that King Hongnong wants to use this to anger the Taiwei?"
...
Li Fang pondered for a long time.
He felt that things were not as simple as he imagined: "Did King Hongnong say what kind of book this was?"
The guard shook his head: "No, I just mentioned the title of the book."
"Are you sure it's just the title of the book?"
"Yeah, sure."
Li Fang took a deep breath, rolled his eyes back and forth, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and snorted softly: "I guess that King Hongnong must have a plan that fails, and he has another plan in mind. He is deliberately making things difficult for Lantai."
.”
Lantai has a large collection of illustrated secretaries and is a holy place in the hearts of scholars.
I don’t know how many great scholars have checked books here, let alone how many scholars yearn for it.
Now, the Taiwei is trying to win over the nobles and make preparations to gain a foothold in Luoyang, but Liu Bian is deliberately looking for trouble with Lantai, hoping to force the Taiwei to attack him and anger the Shilin?
Li Fang suddenly became enlightened.
He nodded with interest, as if he had understood the true purpose of Liu Bian's move.
"snort!"
Li Fang snorted disdainfully and breathed a sigh of relief: "King Hongnong, King Hongnong, how can your conspiracy be hidden from the eyes of this general?"
The guard didn't know what he meant and asked tentatively: "General, what do you mean..."
Li Fang waved his hand: "Tomorrow Tai Shitong will go to Ah Ge to resume his life. Before he enters Ah Ge, send someone to inform me. I will personally expose his conspiracy."
The guard handed over his hand: "No."
*****
Early next morning.
It is September 13th in the first year of Yonghan.
Liu Bian got up early as usual, did a set of simple morning exercises, took a shower, washed himself, changed into fresh clothes, and then came to the front hall, ready to enjoy breakfast.
"Your Highness."
Wang Yi was already waiting at the side. When he saw Liu Bian coming to the front hall, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "I will prepare yokan for breakfast today according to your wishes."
Yokan.
It's mutton soup.
Liu Bian nodded: "Well, let's pass on the food."
Wang Yi bowed his head and said: "No."
Liu Bian and Tang Ji took their seats.
Not long after.
The yokan was brought up, along with two side dishes and four wheat cakes.
Looking at the steaming bowl of mutton soup in front of him, Liu Bian took a gentle sniff, and the alluring aroma instantly aroused greed, making him salivate and salivate.
He reached out and picked up some coriander and sprinkled it evenly in the milky white mutton soup, like a lawn after snow, with dots of green dotted among the white, very beautiful.
On the side, Tang Ji imitated Liu Bian's eating method and also sprinkled some coriander into the mutton soup: "Your Highness, what is the effect of sprinkling this thing into the mutton soup?"
Liu Bian smiled calmly: "My beloved, don't underestimate it. Coriander, chopped green onion, and minced garlic are the keys to the deliciousness of yokan. If you add too little, the fishy smell of the mutton will not be removed. If you add too much, you will not be able to taste the taste of the mutton."
Tang Ji nodded slowly: "That's it."
Wang Yi felt as if he had found a treasure, passing it through his mind several times, fearing that he would forget it again when he turned around.
Tang Ji picked up the jade spoon, scooped out a spoonful, and put it into her mouth. The delicious taste immediately made her feel relaxed and happy, and she kept nodding in praise.
Compared with Tang Ji, Liu Bian's eating appearance was much rougher. He picked up the mutton soup bowl and took a big sip. The familiar taste made his satisfaction instantly surge to the top.
While drinking delicious mutton soup, Liu Bian communicated with the Military Advisor Alliance:
"Teacher, I still don't quite understand why we have to find ways to involve Doctor Ling Li Fang in this matter? Wouldn't it be safer without him around?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors explained: "Master Bian, don't oversimplify things. If we secretly attack Lantai ourselves, if the news reaches Dong Zhuo again, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo will remove Li Fang in advance because of Li Fang's unfavorable performance.
, replaced by Li Ru.
Li Ru is not an easy person to deal with. We can avoid provoking him as much as possible. It is best to let Li Fang handle the matter by himself. Firstly, it will give him a sense of accomplishment. Secondly, there is no need to alarm Dong Zhuo, otherwise once the general is changed, the consequences will be serious.
It’s unimaginable.”
Historically, Li Ru was promoted to Lang Zhongling in the early 190s, proving that Dong Zhuo indeed had the possibility of replacing Lang Zhongling.
Li Ru is thoughtful and resourceful.
If the doctor were replaced by him, then if Liu Bian wanted to make some moves, it might not be that easy.
The purpose of the Military Advisor Alliance's involvement of Li Fang is to bring this matter to an end with Li Fang. Otherwise, once word reaches Dong Zhuo's ears, I'm afraid that Li Ru and Li Fang's combination will jointly attack like the poisoning incident.
.
Liu Bian didn't want to provoke Li Ru, that guy was too scary.
Not long after breakfast.
Liu Bian was preparing to practice calligraphy.
suddenly.
A guard came outside the palace, leaned forward and said, "Your Highness, Lantai Secretary and Eunuch Shi Tong would like to see you."
Liu Bian was surprised: "I thought Tai Shitong was too scared to come. Let him come in."
The guard handed over his hand: "No."
Not long after.
Tai Shitong came to the palace.
However, what shocked Liu Bian was that doctor Ling Li Fang was actually there.
Li Fang bowed and handed over his hands: "The doctor ordered Li Fang to meet His Royal Highness King Hongnong. I heard that Lantai Taishi Tong spent half a day without finding a single book, so I came here to find out. If he deliberately shirks the responsibility, I will definitely kill him."
What to do!"
"you......"
Liu Bian pretended to be angry, glared at Li Fang fiercely, and pretended to suppress his anger: "You came just in time, Gu Ye needs someone to judge, so that Tai Shitong will not be convinced and declare to the outside world that Gu is bullying him."
Tai Shitong hurriedly nodded and bowed: "How dare you?"
Liu Bian was furious: "Humph! It's just a book, but it has alarmed the doctor, Tai Shitong, you are so capable."
Tai Shitong was just the secretary-supervisor of Lantai, and he couldn't afford to offend anyone with a big official position, whether it was King Hongnong or Lang Zhongling, so he could only endure this splintiness.
Tai Shitong was too timid to speak, so he could only acquiesce.
Li Fang did not explain for Tai Shitong. Instead, he took a deep breath and patted the other person's shoulder: "Don't worry, Secretary Tai Shi. If you have anything to say, just say whatever you want. His Highness Shi Cai also said it first. Let the general judge and he will never bully you."
Gulu~~
Tai Shitong's throat rolled and he swallowed. No matter what, with Li Fang here, he was not afraid of Liu Bian's troubles: "Your Highness, I checked carefully this morning and still couldn't find the book."
"Will..."
Tai Shitong asked tentatively: "You remember wrongly. This volume is not in Lantai at all. Maybe it is in Dongguan, or Shishi, Renshou Pavilion, or Xuanming Hall?"
Liu Bian replied without hesitation: "Impossible, this book must be in Lantai."
Tai Shitong frowned: "Then I wonder if your highness can describe the contents of the book. Maybe I am looking in the wrong direction. After all, the collection of books in Lantai is huge. Once the direction is wrong, let alone two days, even a hundred days will not be able to find it.
.”
"That's right."
Li Fang, who was on the sidelines, followed up and said: "I need to describe the contents of the book. Maybe it's not that Taishi's secretary looked in the wrong direction, but that there is no such book at all, right, Your Highness?"
