The eighth day of the eleventh month is the sixtieth birthday of Shaobao, Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War. He has served as an official for forty-four years, and it is also the birthday of Huā Jia. The Lu family is full of traffic and congratulatory guests.
Although the boss's three sons are all in the capital, and there are many elderly people in the mansion, so there is no shortage of management staff, Li Gui still shamelessly stepped in and helped in the mansion as a junior disciple.
The symbolic meaning was greater than the actual meaning, and he really couldn't do much. The Lu family was kind and couldn't bear to let Li Gui's warm-hearted heart be cold, so they assigned him an important task, patrolling the front yard, but they didn't explain what he was patrolling.
After walking around twice, he happened to see Lin's consort entering the gate. Li Gui turned around and pretended not to see him. This was not easy to greet and would only cause embarrassment. In a large public, if you accidentally lose your words while talking, you would be in big trouble.
Just as he was about to walk away, he heard Consort Lin proactively greeting him: "Li Zhongshu!"
Li Gui reluctantly turned around and said politely: "I've seen the consort."
"I've prepared fine wine, and I'd like to invite you to the house tonight! Don't refuse." Although he was invited to a party, Lin's face was not very enthusiastic, and he didn't show any sincerity. It was more like he was doing a perfunctory job.
You actually took the initiative to invite me? Li Gu was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized that this must have been ordered by His Highness Chitose, the Prince Consort, to invite him.
He couldn't help but hear the classic lyrics he was familiar with in his previous life. This straw bag was actually a wall to block the wind...,
Okay, he was about to ask why the reward given to him by the Queen Mother has not been implemented for a long time. It is so difficult to find two beautiful young ladies in the palace?
After leaving the Lu Mansion, Li Gui went to the cabinet. After sorting today's memorials, he looked up at the sun and saw that it was already setting in the west. He left the palace and headed east, heading straight to the Prince Consort's residence.
Li Gui entered the Prince Consort's Mansion in silence all the way, and the gatekeeper greeted him: "My Prince Consort has been waiting for Mr. Li in the study for a long time."
After that, the gatekeeper led Li Gui to the study room next to the back garden. Lin Sihuang sat on the couch in the back room, flipping through the books next to the brazier, waiting for Li Gui to come in, rolled up the book, and clicked on the curtains in the room.
Li Gui understood, raised the curtain and went to the back, where he found a place to sit. After a while, the curtain moved slightly and a bright red figure flashed in, it was the eldest princess.
Guide Chitose sat diagonally across from him, very close to each other. Li Gui felt the unique fragrance drifting into his nose. When he saluted, he couldn't help but teasingly said: "The fragrance on Zhu Niang's body is very good. I have never heard of it. I don't know what she is using."
What material..."
Bang! The stern-faced eldest princess gently slapped the table and scolded: "Don't be glib! Don't show off like you are wallowing in a prostitute's house! What kind of person do you think I am!"
Li Gu was very bored and just sat there and casually raised his hands and said, "What do you think of your Highness's invitation?"
Gui De Qiantai first praised Li Ju and said: "I heard that Mr. Li has been cherishing feathers recently, cultivating himself and loving himself, and has eliminated prostitutes and has good conduct. It is very comforting and gratifying."
"Don't dare, don't dare." Li Gui said modestly. Just when he was thinking about asking for the two palace ladies, he suddenly saw His Highness Chitose pull out a piece of white paper with writing on it from his sleeve and hand it over.
Li Gui took it in his hand and read it, and found that it was actually an article to impeach him. The content was nothing more than minor charges plus extremely poor moral character and disregard for the law. However, the whole article had no beginning or end, like
Written in a hurry.
He looked up at the eldest princess suspiciously and asked, "What is this?"
"This is a copy of the secret book, jointly signed by the Imperial Censor of Henan Province and presented to my mother."
Li Zhongshu was shocked when he heard this. It turned out that this was the topic of today.
A secret memorial, also called a secret memorial, as the name suggests, is a secret memorial. It is different from ordinary memorials in that it is sealed in a sleeve and sent directly to the emperor (currently the Empress Dowager Cisheng), and then opened in person. In theory, only the readers know
its content.
Of course, not everyone is qualified to go to the secret service, and not everything is qualified to go to the secret service. The censor is one of the officials who are qualified to go to the secret service. If the impeachment needs to be kept secret, you can naturally go to the secret service.
.
In addition to the dense sparseness, what is even more noteworthy is that it is actually jointly signed by some censors, which is different from a single person.
A single person's appointment can be regarded as an accidental event. After all, the imperial censors also have mission requirements. If they don't find someone and someone to impeach for a few times, it would be dereliction of duty. Therefore, it is understandable that many times they are hit by arrows while lying down. If they are impeached,
Don't be too sensitive.
But the joint name is sparse, and the nature is different. It is no longer an accidental or routine incident. Even a novice in government affairs such as Li Guizhe understands the meaning behind it. This is not a person fighting, this represents a force.
, someone must be joining forces.
The last time Henan Road summoned him to appear in court, it can be seen as a lack of information. He knew that the Queen Mother had allowed him to reinstate him. So now that he is still being pursued and accused of contempt of justice, how can it be that no one instigated him?
Now that it has become a trend, the problem is big. Li Gu sighed secretly that the wasp array of government officials is not easy to mess with. He thought hard, who is behind this matter?
By the way, only the Queen Mother can read the secrets. How could Guide Chitose copy out a copy?
Looking at the graceful and unique beauty in front of him, thoughts flashed in his mind. Li Gui quickly judged the truth. He was both disappointed and angry...,
If this drama was not directed and acted by the eldest princess, then who could it be? Besides, His Highness Chitose has a criminal record.
After the Wenhua Palace incident at the end of last month, His Highness also instigated some officials to attack him in an attempt to force him to submit. However, he asked Qian Huangshang for help and escaped from the clutches. This time he was obviously repeating his old tricks.
Is there going to be a next time, and the next time, and the next time? The heart-to-heart talk that night was in vain, and in the blink of an eye, they are still continuing to coerce and force them? Is it really the most ruthless emperor's family?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Feeling that he couldn't suppress his anger, Li Gui snapped the case and said, "It's like this again! It's like this again! What does your Highness want from this official? If you have the ability, just cut this official to civilian status and send him to the frontiers."
!”
Damn it! As soon as he said the words, Li Gui regretted it. How could an official be so impulsive? It's rude, it's rude. Impulsiveness is the devil. It's only right to say something well.
Guide Chitose's face was originally very calm, but after being baptized by Li Gui's saliva, it suddenly changed violently. It shook a few times and then barely returned to its graceful normal state. However, in the sleeves that could not be seen, her clenched nails had been deeply embedded in the palms of her hands.
In the flesh of the heart.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, her eyes were so bright that it was chilling. She gradually spit out four words from her mouth, which was red and turned white and lost color: "Get out of here!"
Consort Lin heard the commotion outside, poked his head out from the curtain, and watched curiously.
Li Gui was stunned. What kind of anger did His Highness Chitose get so angry? She was only allowed to threaten him, but he was not allowed to delay her? He felt that he couldn't get off the stage, so he waved his sleeves and walked away. People said he should get lost, so why did he stay?
