"Is the matter settled?" "It's settled. General Gao came to greet him last night." Ye Chang welcomed Yang Zhao early in the morning. Unlike the last time when Yang Zhao came, he was secretive. This time, Yang Zhao came in a swaggering manner, wishing that Quan Chang would be safe. Everyone in the city knew it. "It's good to have it settled. Brother Yang can feel relieved." Ye Chang said with a smile. "That's natural, Shiyilang. You did a great job. You solved your great trouble for the empress. I'm not talented, so I won't let your trouble last forever." Ye Chang didn't hear the meaning of Yang Zhao's words at first, and smiled. Said: "This is not a serious problem, it's just huh? It solves the big problem Could it be?" "Exactly, Concubine Mei has been sent to the cold palace. According to General Gao, she will be sent to Luoyang in the near future. Yang Palace ¡°Luoyang¡ Shangyang Palace? "Those who are familiar with the poetry of the Tang Dynasty are definitely no strangers to Shangyang Palace in Luoyang. Ye Chang's heart skipped a beat. This has nothing to do with him. There is no such item in his plan with Chong Niang. Could it be Chong Niang? Adding fuel to the fire? ¡°What else did General Gao say? " "General Gao didn't say anything. Oh, by the way, he took my hand before leaving and asked me to do a good job and say hello to you by the way. " "Greetings" Ye Chang almost cursed. Gao Lishi's greeting was clearly a warning to him. "No, it was not a warning, but a beating and a shock. Now Ye Chang finally understood why Concubine Mei was driven away. It was the power of the old eunuch Gao Lishi, but this debt was placed on him. Just as Li Linfu used him to frame Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming and others, Gao Lishi also made him bear the blame. Being accused of driving Concubine Mei out of the palace, none of these old and cunning people are easy to get along with. However, Ye Chang was not as bitter as when he was tricked by Li Linfu last time. On the contrary, his spirits became even higher. Li Longji, Li Linfu, and Gao. Hercules, and a shadow that he was vaguely aware of, were all chess players, and Ye Chang was a chess piece. Every chess player hoped that his chess piece would achieve greater benefits for themselves. But in the past, Ye Chang was a chess piece. They can erase this insignificant chess piece at will. Even people like Han Chaozong, Huangfu Weiming and even Ji Wen can use him as a chess piece. However, he is still here, and Han Chaozong relies on him. The grass on Huangfu Weiming's tomb is half as tall as a human being. Although Ji Wen is fine now, there will be times when he wants to flatter him. One day, Ye Chang will grow up enough to jump out. Outside the chessboard, he will turn these chess players into his chess pieces. Ye Chang is not inexplicable, but there are other people who are inexplicable, such as Li Xiao. Although his father has resigned. , but he himself was still in the court, and his plan against Ye Chang failed. He took leave at home for two days, and before he was ready to go out for activities, he heard that someone was impeaching him. "You don't have to go out for these two days. You must behave carefully, if you don't behave properly, you will be seeking death. Li Shizhi said sternly to his son. Li Xiao's face was ugly. In addition to being angry, he was more unconvinced. He was indeed unconvinced. In his opinion, the reason his father failed to win over Li Linfu was because his father's methods were too conservative. When he argued with Li Linfu in front of a saint, such a distinction between loyal and traitor would inevitably wake up the saint, and Li Linfu was demoted. , his father became the prime minister alone, and he continued to be the son of the prime minister. "Thank you, Mr. Zhang" After Li Shizhi finished scolding him, he handed over to Zhang Pei: "I'm tired of Mr. Zhang." Zhang Pei looked solemn, glanced at Li Shi, and stopped talking. "If Mr. Zhang has something to say, you might as well say it directly," Li Shi said. "This matter is not trivial. Mr. Li must be careful and don't get involved in this matter" Li Xiao finally couldn't help but said: "It's just a small official who is slandering others. Why did Mr. Zhang say this?" That day at the Ministry of War, Zhang Pei did not talk to Ye Chang fell out, and Li Xiao was very dissatisfied. He felt that he was also irresponsible, and today he was just impeaching a lowly official who was not the censor, so he came to complain to his father. In Li Xiao's opinion, Zhang Pei is really making a fuss out of a molehill. Zhang Pei's face was ashen. He stood up and was about to excuse himself. Li Shizhi hurriedly stopped him and kicked Li Xiao in anger: "Beast, you want your old man to die quickly, why don't you buy some medicine to poison me?" Seeing that his father was really angry, Only then did Li Xiao realize that something was wrong. He knelt down and said, "You are a fool. You really don't know how important this matter is. Father, please calm down. Lord Zhang, please calm down." "How could I give birth to a fool like you?" Li Shizhi kicked him again. His feet were trembling all over: "Maybe you still don't understand that the provincial chief who came out of the small hall was just a stone thrower asking for directions. Next, there were the chief of the Yushitai, the imperial censor, and the supervisory censor. Then, they waited for Li Linfu The cronies of the army will flock here." Zhang Pei couldn't help but sigh when he heard what Li Shizhi said. He alsoI think so. Although it is just a palace minister who is stalking Li Xiao now, and what he is grasping is only a trivial matter, if Li Shizhi does not handle it properly, or if the emperor gets angry about it, then the next step will be impeachment. Zhang Ruxue. "You're such a bastard, have you done anything good recently?" Li Shizhi thought about it. If someone was really organizing a siege against him behind this, then the other party must have enough leverage. He asked himself that he had lived in seclusion since his resignation, and there were no loopholes. If there were any, it could only happen to his son. Li Xiao glanced at Zhang Pei and said with some embarrassment: "When the traitor Ye Chang came to Beijing that day, he asked the Ministry of War to give him a hard time, but that time he didn't bother him, and he was beaten by the traitor. Mr. Zhang." I also know. "From what I saw that day, Ye Chang's anger seemed to have subsided after he beat the young master, so it shouldn't have been him. And he is just a foreign minister, and there is no such thing in Beijing" When he said this, Zhang Pei became slower and slower, and his face became more and more gloomy. Who said Ye Chang didn't have enough abilities in Beijing? As a consort, he How could I not know what happened in the palace in the past few days? Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan had a falling out. It was Ye Chang who cooperated in the middle and restored the two of them to their original state. It is said that he also asked Li Longji to rush his beloved Concubine Mei to the palace. Leng Gong Zhang Pei asked himself if he had this ability. Thinking of this, his expression changed. If it was really Ye Chang, then why did he raise this matter? "Li Xiao, have you caused trouble for Ye Chang again these days?" smooth? "Zhang Peidu ignored the etiquette and called Li Xiao's name directly. Li Xiao's expression suddenly changed and he almost jumped up from the ground: "It must be him, he is the one who did it. He even placed people around me and bribed me. "The hangers-on around me" "The hangers-on?" Didn¡¯t I order you to send away all the guests? Li Shizhi was shocked when he heard this: "Did you really find trouble with Ye Chang these days?" " Hearing his father questioning this, Li Xiao shrank his neck and hesitated. He didn't need to answer. Li Shizhi and Zhang Pei judged from his expression that he must have done something to anger Ye Chang. Zhang Pei remembered something again and suddenly said: "Ye Chang donated 10,000 gu to the Imperial College the day before yesterday. He also donated another 10,000 gu to be designated as the Liaodong Chinese Studies Award to reward students who excel in the teachings of Taixue sciences and study hard This kind of fame and reputation Although he always loves to do things like this, but he does it so openlycould it have something to do with you? " At this time, Li Xiao also knew that Ye Chang had spent tens of thousands of dollars, turning his attempt to smear his name into making him famous. When he heard the question, he glanced at his father, hesitantly. Dare to answer. ¡°Beast, you still haven¡¯t told the truth at this time? "Li Shizhi stepped forward and kicked him again. His beard and hair almost stood up: "Ye Shiyi is twenty years younger than you. The extra twenty years you lived were all passed down to the dog. "I, I I just don¡¯t resent him for ruining the official reputation of the court and the morale of the people" Li Xiao could not continue to conceal anything at this time, hesitatingly telling the story of his design to harm Ye Chang. Li Shizhi and Zhang Pei were stunned. They never thought that it was such a big event. "This matter can't be solved." Zhang Pei sighed: "Li Gong, I'll leave first." "Okay, okay" Li Shizhi was a little lost. , but then came back to his senses: "I will send you to the door." "No need, Mr. Li, take care." "What I have to give, what I have to givemaybe it is the last time I send you." The two of them talked like this, No one paid any attention to Li Xiao. Li Xiao was still a little confused and wanted to follow him, but he didn't dare. The two of them left the living room, and Zhang Pei stopped again. He knew that Li Shizhi had something to say when he sent him out. "Are you really at your wits' end?" Li Shizhi asked as expected. In the past, he had a rough temper, but after he stepped down from the position of prime minister, he thought more carefully about many things. Li Shizhi didn't wait for Zhang Pei's response, and sighed again: "If I bow to Ye Changwill he accept it?" "If the congratulatory guests are here, even if Han Chaozong is here, he may accept it. Others say he is ungrateful. In fact, I know that he is very fond of old feelings" Zhang Pei murmured: "But Mr. Li, the congratulatory guest has passed away, and Mr. Li was not without resentment when Han Chaozong resigned. " Li Shizhi also knew this. , his face was full of shame. He Zhizhang died without saying anything. Han Chaozong was criticized by Li Linfu because of his close relationship with him. At that time, he did not lend a helping hand. He was simply afraid of hurting himself. How can he have the nerve to go to Han Chaozong to negotiate for him now? Even if he was so thick-skinned, where would he go to find Han Chaozong all of a sudden? "Hateful, hateful" he couldn't help but murmured. "Young master is really confused He still wants to provoke Ye Chang at this time." Zhang Pei said. "Why is it that he is confused and I am also confused? What is regrettable is that I was too confused back then When the congratulatory guests recommended Ye Chang to me, I wasHe only allowed one guest to meet him, and then sent him away What a shame, I am so blind. If I could have shown some kindness to win over this person, I could use it to deal with Li Linfu" The regret in Li Shizhi's heart reached the extreme, and he only wished that time could not be turned back. Zhang Pei was also filled with bitterness. When He Zhizhang valued Ye Chang, he did not take it for granted. He humiliated Ye Chang in public twice, and even allowed Yuan Zai and Lu Qi to step on Ye Chang's position He clenched his fist tightly and said, "If this were not the case, how could Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming die, and how could Wang Zhongsi be exiled?" "Li Gong, you must cut off your beard. "After calming down for a while and getting rid of those distracting thoughts, Zhang Pei whispered to Li Shizhi, then clasped his fists and left without another word. "Li Shizhi did not leave anymore, but shook his body, and he suddenly seemed to have aged ten years. He was right to be rude, but after suffering so much, why didn't he know what Zhang Pei meant? "A poisonous snake bites a hand, a strong man cuts off his wrist. If it is broken, it will be broken, and it will lead to chaos." Standing alone in the yard for a while, Li Shizhi felt very cold. What he was afraid of was not Ye Chang, or even Li Linfu, but Li Longji. After slowly walking back to the house, he saw Li Xiao still kneeling there, with a dejected look on his face in his thirties, which made Li Shizhi feel sad. He felt weak. He thought about how his son was naughty when he was young. He didn't have many children, so he loved him like a treasure. Whenever he made a big mistake, he had to punish him. , he will look like this. ¡°My son, get up. "After speaking in harmony, Li Shizhi sighed. "Father, the child is unfilial and has put his father in this situation The child will go to Ye Chang to apologize to Ye Chang. What does the father think? " Li Xiao said this with some cunning thoughts. He knew that the more he acted like this, the less his father would let him be wronged. "No need, you ruined Ye Chang's reputation and created too much hatred" Li Shizhi was about to say more. , suddenly saw a servant wandering outside the door, he couldn't help but frowned: "Get up. " "Mr. Lang, I have a guest coming to pay my respects. "After Li Xiao got up, the servant dared to come in and handed over a famous thorn. The name on the thorn was very simple, just the word "Fang Ma" written in handwriting. "He is looking for a child." Seeing this thorn, Li Xiao was overjoyed and knew Today, this matter has been revealed. "This person I remember having an official position?" "Li Shizhi asked. "Now I am the master of the test, and the former Prime Minister Zhang Gong said that he once praised him for his miraculous talent. Li Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Haier originally made an appointment with me to meet him today, but later Zhang Gong came and delayed it." He must have come to the door after seeing that the child had not arrived after the time limit" "Ahem" Li Shizhi coughed lightly a few times and nodded heavily: "When you go to receive guests, be careful with your words and actions. " Li Xiao went to meet the guests. Li Shizhi was dazed in the living room for a while, and then slowly walked to his study. There was pain and struggle in his eyes. After a while, he shook his head: "No, no. "How can I do this?" "Or try, when it comes to congratulating guests, will Ye Chang think of the deceased and let Xiao'er go?" No, he won't let it go. Even if he wants to let it go, Li Linfu behind him will never let it go" After hesitating and struggling for a long time, Li Shizhi was still undecided. He laid out a piece of paper, picked up the pen and wrote After a few words, he felt something was wrong, so he tore up the paper again, then the second and third sheets, and tore up more than ten pieces of paper, but he still couldn't write any formal letter. He knew very well what he thought. , it was just a fluke after all, but now, it seems that we can only place our hope on luck.
