Chapter 543: If something goes wrong, there must be a monster
The sky was overcast with clouds, and the sky was dark and gloomy. Heavy snowflakes were flying in the air, as if the fairy's powder box had been knocked over, and it kept falling.
At this time, it is no longer possible to distinguish between mountains, forests, fields, imperial cities, and palaces. Everything as far as the eye can see is completely white.
Li Chengzhi sat cross-legged under the eaves of the corridor, with a felt pad under his legs and a cotton fur on his body. There were several tables in front of him and a stove at his hand.
There are several food items on the table, and a copper tripod is burning on the stove. An urn sits in the tripod, and the inside of the urn is as bright as amber, and the fragrance of wine overflows.
Li Chengzhi raised the wine cup, and it felt warm to the touch, just right.
He drank it in one gulp, and then hummed in a low voice: "Green ants' newly fermented wine, small red clay stove. It's snowing late in the evening, can I have a drink?"
Yuan Yuan was slightly startled, and sighed sadly: "You really like elegance?"
He took the wine cup from Li Chengzhi, blew the foam from the mouth of the bowl, and started to sip slowly.
Compared with last year, Yuan Yuan is more calm. And facing Li Chengzhi, Zeng Jin's subordinate and now Shangguan, Yuan Yuan's mentality is also very natural.
There is just a hint of worry hidden in the eyebrows, making the whole person look a little gloomy.
It is now well known throughout the city that he had an affair with the Yu family, the wife of Chengyang King Yuan Hui. Yuan Hui told everyone he met that he would avenge this blood feud. He even ignored the family's face and stripped Princess Yu of the family on the day of the kitchen party.
All the money was delivered to the door of Guangyang Prince’s Mansion.
The Yu family is Yu Zhong's daughter. Now that the whole Yu family has been designated as traitors, how can anyone stand up for her?
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was wise and allowed the Yu clan to enter the palace. Then she was punished by Yuan Hui with fifty whips, and she was also shown to the public with a yoke behind closed doors.
As for Yuan Yuan, before he arrived in Beizhen, the imperial edict was sent out of Luoyang. Even Wang Yuanjia of Guangyang was implicated and suffered a lot from the Queen Mother.
That's all. The worst thing is to stay dormant for a while. Then invite three or two people to make peace and find a way to settle the feud with Yuan Hui.
But he was lucky enough to survive, but just when he received an urgent report from Beijing that he was completely out of position and had no master, the war suddenly broke out.
Because of his negligence, he fell into Rouran's plan of seducing the east and attacking the west. As a result, tens of thousands of light cavalry rushed into Langshan and plundered the towns of Wuchuan and Huaishuo. Tens of thousands of townspeople were killed and injured, tens of thousands of houses were burned down, and countless cattle, sheep, and grain were lost. Therefore, in the battle of Beizhen, all the generals who led the troops were rewarded, but he was the only one who had faults and merits.
Now that all the official titles have been removed, the crime will be punished.
However, when the house leaked, it rained all night. I hated Yuan Hui, but he wanted to taste the dignity of the county king and cling to Gao Zhao. He was even more shameless and asked the Queen Mother to marry Gao's daughter as a sequel.
The Gao family of Youda only has three daughters. The eldest daughter is the Queen Mother, and the second daughter is the concubine of Hejian Wang Yuanchen. Apart from Gao Wenjun, who is about to be married, who else is there?
That's why he hurriedly came to look for Li Chengzhi.
"It's no use looking for me!"
Li Chengzhi shook his head bluntly, "Now that Wenjun has returned to the Gao family, Gao Sikong is the head of the Gao family, and he is true to his word. Therefore, if he really wants to make Wenjun regret his marriage and remarry, no one can stop him. p>
Furthermore, the root of this matter lies in the enmity between you and King Chengyang. No matter whether he marries a daughter of the Gao family or not, he will never get along well with you. Therefore, it is of no use for you to come looking for me.
."
Yuan Yuan was surprised and said: "Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Why should I be anxious?"
Li Chengzhi replied with a smile, then raised the wine jar and refilled their glasses.
To put it bluntly and disrespectfully: Even eating shit can’t keep up with the heat. I’m talking about people like Yuan Jia.
He was greedy for power and profit, but ended up falling into Yuan Ying's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Not only did he have a rift with Li Chengzhi, his prospective son-in-law, but he also hated the Queen Mother.
Later, he was afraid of being implicated by Li Chengzhi, so he planned to have Gao Wenjun leave the clan and return to the Gao family. It was also because he was eager for quick success and acted too hastily. This incident also caused a storm in the city, causing Gao Zhao to lose face and make the Queen Mother unhappy.
Unfortunately, my butt is not clean, so I am provoking someone like Yuan Hui, a lunatic who is determined to retaliate and will never stop for nine generations.
In the original history, Yuan Hui wanted to take revenge. Yu Zhong came to lick Yu Zhong, Hu Yunhua licked Hu Chonghua, Liu Teng licked Liu Teng, and Yuan Yi licked Yuan Yi again. In this way, he spent half his life without any regrets, just doing
One thing: Construct Yuanyuan.
Finally, during the Six Towns Rebellion, Yuan Yuan was framed for treason. I don’t know what method he used. Hu Chonghua believed it to be true, causing Yuan Yuan and the prince to die unjustly in Beizhen.
The sky net is vast and meticulous. Since you are in the first year of junior high school, don’t blame others for being in the fifteenth year. Therefore, Li Chengzhi feels that two words are most appropriate for Yuan Jia: You deserve it!
"Gao Wenjun wants to regret his marriage and remarry, but you are not in a hurry at all?"
Yuan Yuan seemed to be in disbelief, his eyes were as wide as bells, "If this is true, wouldn't you become the laughing stock of everyone in the world?"
"Don't worry, if I really regret my marriage, it will only be Mr. Gao who becomes the laughing stock, not me, Li Chengzhi!"
Li Chengzhi smiled half-heartedly, "Furthermore, if Gao Sikong really had this intention, he would have regretted it when he first entered Beijing two months ago. Why wait until today?"
There is another sentence that Li Chengzhi did not say: If we take ten thousand steps back, it will not be Gao Zhao's turn to make the decision.
Regardless of the ten days, Gao Wenjun stayed in the palace for at least nine days. On the remaining days, he sometimes went to accompany Princess Changle, and sometimes went to the Wei Mansion.
I even came to Li's Mansion twice, but I didn't stay overnight, I came quietly, and after half a day, I quietly entered the palace.
This is clearly Gao Ying's intention.
First of all, if Gao Zhao is allowed to make the decision, Gao Wenjun will most likely commit suicide out of hatred. Secondly, he doesn’t want to make things happen, and he doesn’t want to completely sever the friendship with Li Chengzhi.
It may not be without the intention of checking and balancing Gao Zhao...
Li Chengzhi also had to sigh with emotion. After three days apart, Gao Ying looked upon him with admiration. Gao Ying became more and more like a qualified politician.
"Is it just a matter of breaking a marriage?"
Yuan Yuan's eyes were cold, "Gao Sikong has played several memorials for two months, and you have committed several serious crimes. His intention to kill you is known to all passersby. How can you sit still like a bell and turn a deaf ear?"
Haha, the fox’s tail is exposed, right?
Li Chengzhi almost laughed out loud.
It's also strange that Yuan Yuan couldn't control his crotch and provoked a lunatic like Yuan Hui. Nowadays, both the government and the public are discussing that Yuan Jia has no way to teach his children and has a poor family tradition. How can he be the leader of all officials in the world?
Yuan Jia had already given two words, and the Empress Dowager also persuaded him twice as usual. After this third resignation letter, I am afraid that Yuan Jia's request will be approved, in addition to his position as Taiwei.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Yuan Ke's last wish was for Gao Zhao to succeed him, so due to emotions and reasons, it was certain that Gao Sikong would become Gao Taiwei.
Already powerful, if he is allowed to take over the world's military power again, he will probably be even more powerful than when Yuan Ke was. How can someone like Yuan Jia, who has offended Gao Zhao to death, still have a way to survive?
At this time, even his friendship with Yuan Yuan has to be used. It seems that Yuan Ying and others can no longer sit still.
So it's not just urgent, it should be urgent and on pins and needles.
At the beginning of posting, he knew that Yuan Yuan came here not to drink wine. At this time, he was sure that it was Yuan Jia's intention, and it was more likely that Yuan Cheng and Yuanying had given him advice.
The purpose is just like Cui Guang, to persuade him to regain his love and balance with Gao Zhao.
As long as he and Gao Zhao fight to the death, the pressure on Yuan Jia and others will naturally be reduced a lot. They can even sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits.
It's a pity that Li Chengzhi has already seen the fire clearly and saw the faces of these people clearly. How could he readily agree to it despite knowing that he was going to be taken advantage of?
If he was willing, he would have agreed to Gao Ying's request when he entered the palace. If things didn't work out, Cui Guang would have just found a way to go down when he went fishing with him. There was no need for Yuan Ying and others who were in the same situation at this time.
Are people hypocritical?
Li Chengzhi smiled self-deprecatingly, waved his hand and said: "Brother Zhiyuan's good intentions are understood by Chengzhi. There are public opinions on right and wrong, and there are also three ministers, assistants, the Queen Mother, etc. who uphold the public spirit, so what should I fear? And if it is true,
Even if I am found guilty, Li will never complain and will just obey the law."
"At the worst, you should submit a self-defense memorial, and just let the villain make trouble and spray blood?"
Self defense?
The palace gate is easy to enter and the court is easy to enter. But if you want to get out, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
Not to mention Yuan Ying, Gao Ying, Cui Guang, etc., even Gao Zhao would never let himself stay out of trouble so easily again.
Li Chengzhi just shook his head: "No!"
Seeing that he was not getting enough, Yuan Yuan felt anxious and angry. Thinking of the previous explanations Yuan Jia and Yuan Cheng had with him, he gritted his teeth forcefully: "Since you have concluded that Gao Zhao will rebel, you must be somewhat sure.<
/p>
But because I made a big mistake in a moment of ignorance, which aroused criticism from the government and the public, my father had to abdicate the throne in favor of someone worthy of his honour. And when Gao Zhao succeeds to the throne and holds the world's largest army, won't it be even more powerful and encourage his evil intentions?"
Li Chengzhi no longer knew what to say.
At this point, Yuan Jiadu is still only focused on seeking power and profit, which shows that although he is wise, it is just a little cleverness.
If Yuan Jia truly believed that Gao Zhao would rebel, he would not have asked Yuan Yuan to come to him, but would have gone to secretly inform the Queen Mother.
It’s just that he didn’t want the lieutenant’s position to be taken away by Gao Zhao before he had even warmed up to it.
Yuan Jia wants to motivate herself to block the knife for him, is Yuan Jia treating herself like a three-year-old child?
"That's it, what does it have to do with me?"
Li Chengzhi was cold and sneered, "In the past two years, my actions have been witnessed by everyone. It is not an exaggeration to say, 'I am worthy of heaven, I am worthy of the earth, I am worthy of others, and I am worthy of my heart.'"
Even if one day I meet the late Emperor under Jiuquan, I will have a clear conscience.
Therefore, I ask Brother Zhiyuan to tell the Lieutenant: Leave some room in everything, and don't push people too hard. Do you really think that I, Li Chengzhi, am so easy to coax? If I continue to be pushy, believe it or not, I will go straight to Gaofu with a big gift to meet with Gao.
Sikong drinks and talks happily?"
"You...you...you..."
Yuan Yuan stood up suddenly and couldn't figure out why Li Chengzhi fell out at once. He couldn't believe that he was willing to join Gao Zhao.
He raised his fingers and trembled, but he didn't know whether to scold harshly or give gentle advice.
Although Gao Zhao had plotted against him, at least he was not as inconsistent and capricious as his father. He even made a special trip to visit Li Chengzhi when he returned to Beijing, hoping to clear up the past feud with him.
What's more, the Gao family has not regretted their marriage yet, and Li Chengzhi is still Gao Zhao's famous son-in-law.
Therefore, it is really possible for Li Chengzhi to do it.
Yuan Yuan's heart became heavier and heavier, and he even felt a trace of resentment: It was also his father's fault. I wonder if he was about to die. He had been so confused over the past year that it was difficult to distinguish right from wrong.
If not for being bewitched by the King of Zhongshan and the King of Rencheng, how could the Guangyang Palace have turned against Li Chengzhi, and how could they have become enemies with Gao Zhao?
"You and I know very well how King Guangyang treats me. But if it were not for the old friendship, Brother Zhiyuan would not even be able to enter this house today. So the words have been spoken, and I forgive Li for not being able to send him far away.
Rui, see you off..."
Ever since he was a child, when had he ever been humiliated like this? Yuan Yuan wished he could pull out his knife and fight Li Chengzhi.
But suddenly I thought of Li Chengzhi’s character and past experiences. If he dared to be presumptuous, wouldn’t Li Chengzhi not dare to give himself a beating?
Thinking about it again, even Gao Zhao made a special trip to visit and didn't have a good look on his face, let alone him?
"Okay, then you and I will wait and see!"
Yuan Yuan took a deep breath and walked away.
The person had already walked away, and the sound of "creeping" sounded again behind him. Li Chengzhi turned his head slightly, but it was Li Shixian who was walking through the snow.
He walked into the gallery unhurriedly and sat on the recliner where Yuan Yuan had just sat. He picked up the porcelain manger and poured himself a cup, drinking it with a slurp.
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? Yuan Jia and the others really brought it upon themselves. But now that we have severed all ties and become friends rather than enemies, I think you will still care about your old relationship? It is simply wishful thinking..."
Li Chengzhi moved his lips, but hesitated for a moment and said nothing. He just picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
Yuan Yuan's behavior today is very strange.
According to common sense, the two sides are already at odds, so Yuan Yuan should not be in this bad situation.
Even though I came here, at most it was just to reminisce about the past, rather than being so direct. I wanted to "kill people with a borrowed knife" and "drew trouble to the east".
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
It’s just that Yuan Jia is old and confused, and Yuan Ying is so angry that she is unconscious more than she is awake, but there is still Yuan Cheng.
Knowing that such advice would definitely make him fall out, making the already incompatible situation between the two parties worse, so why is it necessary?
Li Chengzhi suspected that either Yuan Cheng and Yuan Jia were almost cornered by Gao Zhao, or that these two old thieves had something in mind.
Otherwise, Yuan Yuan would not have rashly said, "Everyone who rises high will rebel."
Even he didn't dare to be so direct.
As for which one it is, Li Chengzhi is not sure.
It is also because his foundation is too shallow, his background is insufficient, and he has not been involved in the court for a long time, so his sources of information are extremely limited.
If this were Gao Zhao, he would have already analyzed it in an orderly and logical manner.
Li Chengzhi couldn't help but feel nervous when he thought of Gao Zhao.
I thought that after refusing to recruit, what awaited me would be a storm. But in the past two months, Gao Zhao has been experiencing thunder but little rain.
What's more, Gao Zhan would come to visit him from time to time. Although each visit was just to reminisce or play, Li Chengzhi knew very well that Gao Zhao was trying to show his goodwill.
Li Chengzhi not only did not relax, but became more vigilant.
For some reason, he had the intuition that Gao Zhao was paralyzing him, secretly holding back his ultimate move...
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Li Chengzhi stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Li Rui, prepare a horse for me... no, prepare a car, and prepare some important gifts!"
Li Shixian was very surprised: "You want to leave the house, where are you going?"
Except for the time when he accompanied Gao Wenjun into the palace, this was the second time in the past few months that Li Chengzhi took the initiative to enter the city.
"The winter solstice is less than half a month away. On that day, the Cui Mansion will surely be crowded with guests and bustling with guests. Therefore, my son wants to pay a visit to the Master in advance!"
Li Chengzhi walked out and replied: "If nothing unexpected happens, we will stay at Cui Mansion tonight, and my father and mother will have a rest early!"
Li Shixian was secretly surprised and confused: He heard everything Yuan Yuan said exactly, so why didn't he hear anything wrong?
My son clearly guessed something and went to ask for information...
