Wu Meiniang was standing by with an indifferent expression. She was not responsible for this matter, and it had nothing to do with her.
Snapped!
"It's outrageous! It's outrageous!" Li Zhi punched the table hard.
"It's not enough for this boy to just indulge in fun. He actually does such a scandal and has the same virtue as his uncle! It's... it's a disgrace to the royal family!"
Li Chengqian, who was far away in Raojiang, was riding a takin in the mountains to collect herbs with a backpack on his back, when he suddenly sneezed.
He looked around with confusion on his face: "Who scolded me?"
"Moo~~!"
The takin under him screamed, and Li Chengqian patted its head: "You bastard, are you the one who scolded me? Ah?"
Li Chengqian continued to search for medicinal materials while joking and cursing.
Li Zhi kept tapping his fingers on the table.
He has realized that he went too far in suppressing Li Xian, but since Wu Meiniang does not care about government affairs, he has no choice but to suppress her.
He wants to stop now, but he is afraid that if he lets go, Li Xian's temper will make it difficult for him to stop, and he may even turn against him.
"I'm so angry!! Ah!!"
Li Zhi roared and pushed all the memorials out, scattering them all over the floor.
Wu Meiniang sighed, bent down and picked them all up.
"Why are you venting your anger on the memorial?"
"Why are you so angry? Isn't this worth being angry about? Look at what he looks like!"
Wu Meiniang said calmly: "Didn't you tell me about the matter between Zhao Daosheng and Xian'er at the beginning? At that time, you said it was okay. He was an assistant of Xian'er."
"Yes, why didn't I seriously consider it before?"
"It's okay now. All the messy things about Xian'er have spread in Chang'an Imperial City. If this happens among the people, how will the people view the prince?!"
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but sneer: "You... think about it, since ancient times, have there been very few cases of Long Yang's sleeves being cut off?"
"Han Yan of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Dong Xian of Han Ai, brothers of Emperor Ming of Wei Dynasty, Murong Chong even served as Fu Jian's male favorite. What's the big deal? It's not like this has never happened in our Tang Dynasty... "
Li Chengqian, who was far away in Raojiang, sneezed again...
Wu Meiniang saw that Li Zhi was unmoved, but his face became increasingly livid, so she joked:
"I heard that Your Majesty has a coachman who is very handsome. You treat him very well. There are also court ministers who are jealous. Could it be that you also..."
Li Zhi rolled his eyes at Wu Meiniang. How could he have such a hobby? Even if he had that hobby, as long as he could withstand the beating, he would still have to go to the emperor's master. How could he find a coachman?
What he was worried about was that Li Chengqian gave up on himself because of his male favorite and eventually rebelled.
Li Xian is now indulging in sensuality. Although no one has confirmed that this incident is indeed true, he looks very much like Li Chengqian now. I am afraid that it will eventually turn into a conspiracy to usurp the throne!
boom!
Li Zhi slapped the table hard.
"I want to see if this thing is true or not! Someone come!"
Gao Lishi walked in with small steps from outside.
"Take my edict and go to Chang'an to arrest Zhao Daosheng for interrogation! I want to see what the relationship between them is!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Wu Meiniang's face was slightly startled when she heard that Li Zhi had made such a decision.
She didn't want to go against others. When she was cultivating herself, this opportunity came to her instead? Or is there secret help from the Xuantian Sect?
But it doesn't look like it, because those ministers of Li Xian are all people he has been in contact with since childhood. How can there be such a coincidence?
....
At night, one of the people Li Zhi sent to interrogate was Xue Yuanchao.
Wu Meiniang summoned Wu Chengsi late at night and wanted him to rush over and tell Xue Yuanchao that it was best to ask more questions.
Wu Chengsi nodded repeatedly: "It's okay to go and warn him, but there is Di Renjie inside. If he doesn't allow lynching, it might be a bit difficult."
Wu Meiniang also rubbed her forehead: "This Di Renjie... is really annoying."
Wu Chengsi quickly followed up and said, "Yes, yes, this Di Renjie doesn't know what is good and what is good, and he bullies me a lot."
"If you are really upset, why don't you go and beat him up with your nephew!"
Wu Meiniang snorted, looked down at him and asked, "Can you beat his personal guard?"
"Can't beat it."
"Then can you beat Di Renjie?"
"Can't beat..."
"But you can demote him!"
"No, you can't be demoted!"
Wu Chengsi nodded: "Yes, it is impossible to be demoted. He has almost defeated half of the ministers in our court. He should be dismissed!"
"No, you can't be dismissed!"
Wu Chengsi looked puzzled and asked, "Does the empress want to kill him?"
"Shut up!" Wu Meiniang shouted loudly: "Remember, it doesn't matter if you die, no one is allowed to harm him, do you hear me?"
Wu Chengsi's ears were shaken and there was a trace of blood, and he nodded in confusion: "I understand, I understand!"
Wu Meiniang glanced at Wu Chengsi with a bad look.
"Everything Di Renjie does is in line with the public opinion at the top and the people at the bottom. If something happens to such a person, let alone you, won't this palace be implicated?"
Wu Chengsi nodded quickly, and couldn't help but think that his flattery was completely on the horse's leg.
After Wu Meiniang left, Wu Chengsi helplessly rubbed his ears and walked out.
As soon as he came out, he saw Gao Lishi looking at him with a sarcastic face: "Hey, why do you always have to wear some colors on your body every time you see the empress? Pfft! Hahahaha..."
Wu Chengsi reluctantly repeated what he had just said in a low voice.
Gao Lishi tilted his lips: "Hey, you are so brave. You can't harm others even if you flatter me."
"What the hell have I done to harm anyone? Why don't we let Di Renjie take advantage of us?"
"Isn't it normal for him to bully us? If others are good and we are evil, who should we fight against if we don't fight against them? Just find someone to fight with on the street?"
Wu Chengsi frowned: "When did we become evil?"
Gao Lishi said with a mysterious face: "Then when did we become kind?"
"Remember, kid, we have our own good and evil decisions made by the commander-in-chief. Don't pay attention to what others say. Okay, just go ahead and do what you have to do."
Wu Chengsi cupped his hands and said, "You are really my big brother. Once you are a big brother, you will always be a big brother. I realized it in just a few words."
"From now on, you will be the big one and I will be the small one. Your brothers will be my brothers, your friends will be my friends, and your wife..."
Gao Lishi quickly interrupted: "What do you want to do?"
Wu Chengsi laughed naively: "Your wife is my elder, okay, I'm leaving."
"Um."
After Wu Chengsi left, Gao Lishi touched his chin, and after pondering for a long time, he decided to send a message to the commander in a flying book.
In the past few decades, among those who first entered the court, he and Li Yifu were the only ones alive, and they did not have a few more decades to live.
The new ones are not worthy of reuse, and it would be difficult for Wu Chengsi to be sent to take over their role.
Wu Chengsi had too little experience and was not suitable for entering the court.
Moreover, it seems from observation over the past few years that Wu Chengsi is timid and fearful, and has not changed at all. He might do something wrong and delay the commander-in-chief's plan!
