What happened in Chang'an City has always been like a fire in a paper cage - it cannot be contained!
One or two trivial things in ordinary people's homes will be widely circulated in the market, not to mention big things like encountering ghosts in the Prime Minister's Mansion. How about people's fate, it is destined by God. The encounter happened on the night when the Prime Minister held a birthday banquet.
Damn it, this birthday party didn't go through, it almost turned into a funeral.
Don't mention it. After publicity by the people, the news that the Prime Minister's Mansion is haunted has spread widely. Is this ghost a male ghost or a female ghost? Is it an adult ghost or a juvenile ghost? How many heads and arms have it grown?
, they made it clear, as if he was the one pretending to be the ghost in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Therefore, the speed at which His Majesty the Emperor sees the submitted memorial may not be much faster than that of the common people in the city.
In fact, when this mysterious and mysterious memorial was placed in front of the imperial court, His Majesty the Emperor immediately became furious. In his opinion, Taichang Qing Li Xiu was moaning for no reason and acting ugly.
Ghost? His Majesty the Emperor has believed in Buddhism and Taoism in his life, but he has never believed in ghosts. This memorial by Li Xiu is really ridiculous and ridiculous! At first, Li Longji thought that this was Li Linfu taking the opportunity to express his attitude to him, hoping that he could retreat bravely.
He was very satisfied with the reduction of some official positions. It seemed that this old boy was really good at guessing his own thoughts.
But after Li Xiu cried and complained, Li Longji overturned his judgment. Li Xiu's emotions were very sincere and did not seem to be fake at all. Furthermore, even if he made up such a rumor that the Prime Minister's Mansion was haunted, there was no need to
It spread out at this juncture when the birthday banquet has just ended. Doesn’t this cause trouble for myself?
Could it be that the Prime Minister's Mansion is really haunted?
Li Longji sneered in his heart, and even ordered Jing Zhaoyin Wang Wen to be responsible for a thorough investigation of the matter. For the reputation of the Prime Minister and the majesty of the court, the investigation could only be conducted in secret. But this does not mean that Jing Zhaoyin can delay the time to solve the case.
, His Majesty the Emperor issued a death order that the case must be solved before October 15th. In other words, the time left for Wang Wen was less than one month.
It was really difficult for someone to solve such a complicated and suspicious case in one month. But Wang Wen did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. He would eat his salary and share his worries. This principle could not change anywhere.
On the other hand, His Majesty the Emperor ordered that the whole of Chang'an be sealed off on this news. Until the truth comes to light, anyone is strictly prohibited from spreading it in any name. Violators will be punished as witchcraft.
As a result, the servants in the Li Mansion were most affected. All the servants who had served the master that night, regardless of men, women, and children, were brought to the manor by Mr. Jing Zhaoyin, and they were strictly interrogated, and some clues were bound to be found. Even if they were
The servants who had no contact with the master were also ordered to be grounded and were not allowed to leave the house without permission.
The court announced to the outside world that Li Xiangguo had an occasional cold and needed to rest for a period of time, so he could not go to court to participate in politics. During Li Xiangguo's absence, Chen Xilie, the left prime minister, was appointed as the right prime minister, and the censor Zhongcheng was promoted.
Yang Zhao entered the Political Affairs Hall and acted as the left prime minister. The Tang Dynasty was full of talents. When one Li Linfu fell, naturally thousands of Li Linfu stood up and took over.
However, as the saying goes, it is better to guard against the people's mouth than against the river. If people's words could be easily blocked, rulers since ancient times would not have had headaches.
All the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who know the truth of the incident all sneer at the court's rhetoric? If I occasionally feel typhoid fever, the typhoid fever will be so severe that I can't go to court and participate in politics for several days? If I occasionally feel the typhoid fever, I will be bedridden and unable to see visitors for several days?
In fact, Mr. Xiang Guo has been frightened and crazy since he encountered a ghost. What is even more strange is that Miss Shen'er, who was brought back to the house by his master a few days ago and treated with great honor, also disappeared overnight.
There was no trace again. The servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion all said that this girl Shen'er was a female ghost who wanted to kill her and seduced her soul. Otherwise, why did my master become stupid overnight for no reason?
In order to show his compassion for his ministers, His Majesty the Emperor specially sent the royal physician to the Prime Minister's Mansion for consultation. However, his wish did not come true that day. Even if he received the saint's favor, it seemed that it could not improve Prime Minister's condition.
Things got better. After a lot of questioning, the imperial doctor just sighed repeatedly, prescribed a calming prescription, and told Li Xiu not to frighten his father again.
As for whether the disease can be cured and when it will be cured, the imperial doctor has kept silent about it.
The second uncle, Li Linhe, who had always been regarded as a thorn in Li Xiu's side and a thorn in his flesh, now stood up to take charge of the overall situation. As the oldest and highest-ranking old man in the clan, he first called the servants from the Prime Minister's Mansion to one place and had a talk.
The lecture stabilized the situation. Through Li Linfu's connections, he increased his activities in the DPRK and won the support of many high-level officials.
Their strong support gave the Li family, which was at the center of the storm, a moment of respite.
Li Linhe's strong skills and rich experience have undoubtedly won the support of many members of the Li family. In the eyes of these common people, the second master is more outstanding than the eldest son of Xiangguo in all aspects, and has more talents.
It may lead the Li family out of the trough. Of course, as the eldest son, Li Xiu is also indispensable for his supporters. As a result, although they maintain harmony on the surface, serious differences have arisen within the Li family, and their influence in the court will inevitably decline.
Downhill.
As soon as this happened, some people were happy and some were sad.
Those who are worried are the middle and low-level officials who are dependent on the Prime Minister. In their view, Li Linfu is the big tree they rely on. Although the court has come forward many times to refute the rumors, claiming that the Prime Minister accidentally caught the wind and cold. But the Prime Minister's disease is
For more than ten days, how could there be such a severe wind and cold in the world? These officials from poor backgrounds had to make two preparations. On the one hand, they would wait and see what happened, and on the other hand, they would look for new backers in private. They were not from the Li clan, so there was no need for them to be together.
Hanged from a tree.
He was delighted because he was Li Linfu's political opponent and the family that had been suppressing him. Jingzhao Weishi was one of the representatives. After years of suppression by Li Linfu, the once prosperous Wei family was almost at the critical point of life and death. Li Linfu's illness, no matter how serious it is,
Whether it is a minor illness, real or fake, it can give them some relief.
Of course, the people who were in the most comfortable mood were none other than Li Kuo and his little brothers.
This night walk disguised as a ghost was something they, young and energetic young people, could do. But then again, if Li Linfu really had a clear conscience, why should he be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door at night?
With this slap, Li Kuo's fan made a crackling sound, and it was clean and beautiful. At this moment, in the rising water vapor, the young man finally found a bend in the vast river.
