When Li Daozong returned to Chang'an City, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. It seemed that what Xiao Rui said made sense. I smashed up his shop to send a message. If the trick was real, he wouldn't kidnap the money, right?
So someone is causing trouble? Kidnapped Jing Ren, and then wanted to watch Xiao Rui and me fight? Who is so capable in Chang'an City?
"Go and check. There have been a lot of strange things happening in Chang'an City recently. Is there someone behind it?"
Li Daozong ordered his confidants to investigate secretly, while he tried his best to find his missing son. He even went to the palace and Emperor Li Er sent people to cooperate.
Three days later, the child was still not found, but the person sent to conduct an unannounced investigation came back, "My lord, we found something strange."
"Tell me, is it related to Jingren?"
The man shook his head and said, "It's not directly related to the young master. The fact that Niu Jinda's son was sent to Xiaojiazhuang a few days ago seems to have been deliberately promoted by someone, otherwise it wouldn't have spread so fast."
Um? ? ?
What about Niu Jinda?
Li Daozong was silent.
No, there's a problem! It was precisely because Niu Jinda's son was sent to Xiaojiazhuang and there was a lot of public opinion that I went to smash up the Zuixian Tower in Xishi City to deepen the drama. Later, Jingren was ostracized in the school...
Hiss... was it really designed?
Li Daozong couldn't help but think of what old Li Yuan said back then, when he promoted Xiao Rui to the position of the best teacher in the world, it was because some evildoer wanted to promote the champion and cause trouble for Xiao Rui.
Yes, there is someone behind it! Jingren must have been captured by these people, making me and the Champion Hou forge an undying feud!
So Li Daozong quickly entered the palace and detailed the matter to the emperor. The emperor sternly promised that he would find out the mastermind behind the scenes and rescue Li Jingren.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty was reckless this time and offended the champion. I hope your Majesty can help..."
Li Er waved his hand and said: "Xiao Rui is not a small-minded person. I will explain to him in private. But my cousin's drama will continue."
"Ah? Are you still acting? Didn't you say that the real murderer was not him?" Li Daozong was puzzled.
Li Er sighed and said: "Cousin, this kid Xiao Rui is usually too hated. It can be said that he is the enemy of the whole world. That's why I sent so many people to closely protect Xiaojiazhuang."
"On the surface, everyone praises and admires him, but in fact, I don't know how many people secretly hate him and want to get rid of him quickly."
"What I mean is that it's better to use the trick and confirm the identity of our mortal enemy. This way we can also protect Xiao Rui secretly."
"Xiao Rui is a great talent. With him here, we can ensure that the Tang Dynasty will prosper for hundreds of years."
Li Daozong nodded, "That's fine! Then Jingren..."
Li Er promised: "I guarantee it was not Xiao Rui's doing. And we must find Jingren. We will see him alive and his body when he dies. If anything happens to Jingren, I will personally avenge him!"
After Li Daozong left, the emperor summoned Lao Gao, the chamberlain, and asked, "What did Zang Feng say?"
The chamberlain Lao Gao whispered: "It was indeed the Champion Hou who did it. The Marquis has already sent people to Liangzhou and is preparing to send Young Master Jingren to General Xue Li for training."
Li Er laughed and scolded: "Why can't you do good things well, you bastard? It's causing trouble all over the city."
Lao Gao guessed: "The Marquis promised to help the King of Jiangxia take care of his children, but he didn't expect that the Prince would smash his Zuixian Tower. Maybe the Marquis did it on purpose. He sent the young master to Liangzhou to be given to General Xue in this way to cover up the public's eyes. The same goes for belts.”
Li Er nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, everyone in the world is focusing on Xiao Rui's teaching, and they probably forgot that there is another Xue Li who is versatile in both civil and military affairs. It's the same with following him."
"It's just that Xiao Rui is a bit too shady. As a result, cousin Chengfan won't be able to see his son for several years, and he thought his son was killed..."
Lao Gao whispered: "The Marquis' nickname must be repaid..."
Li Er said with emotion: "Yeah, I got the wrong name, but I didn't get the wrong nickname. What's wrong with this bastard? Now he's notorious all over the world!"
"By the way, I will send a message to the King of Jiangxia in two days, saying that the source of the rumor has been found, the Wang family of Taiyuan."
Taiyuan Wang family?
Li Daozong was puzzled. I had no enmity with the Taiyuan Wang family, so why did they plot to harm my son?
The person who came to deliver the letter said nothing and left after delivering the letter.
Li Daozong had no choice but to investigate by himself. He had served as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and had a wide network of contacts in Chang'an City. He soon found out the clues. It turned out that he was not here for Li Daozong, but to harm Xiao Rui.
How about you Taiyuan Wang family? In order to deceive the champion, you use me, Li Daozong, as a swordsman?
The leading figure of the Wang family in Taiyuan is Wang Si, the Minister of Rites, right? Just wait, if I can't take you down in one month, I will not be Li Daozong!
Wang Si:......
Who did I offend? ? ?
In Xiaojiazhuang, Li Junxian came over with the information, "Sir, there is a letter from Guankou saying that Wang Jishan is still fanning the flames and taking the opportunity to exaggerate Niu Xiaohu's apprenticeship."
Xiao Rui complained impatiently: "It's him again? Is the ghost still there? After all these little tricks that can't be put on the table, how can he still be the Qilin'er of the Wang family?"
"Tell that guy at Guankou that he was rescued for work, not to be a scout captain. He only sends letters and reports all day long, but doesn't take any real action?"
"If we don't see him take action against Wang Jishan again within three days, just dig a hole and bury him. I don't want waste around me!"
Three days?
Wang Jishan is a well-known homebody. He has been in Chang'an for a few months. Except when he was arrested by Xiao Rui to investigate a case, he never goes out at all other times. He stays at home and reads. How to attack him?
Zheng Zihe, who goes by the pseudonym Guan Kou, feels a lot of pressure.
"If you want to deal with a person, you have to know his weaknesses. It's impossible to attack someone without weaknesses. What is Wang Jishan's weakness? Liquor, sex, wealth? He doesn't go out at all. He doesn't touch these things."
"By the way, we can't do it without going out. We need to get him out first. We can't let him stay at home reading all day."
"The euphemistic name is reading a book, but in fact it's just constant calculation behind the scenes..."
With personal reasoning, Zheng Zihe's ideas became clearer and clearer.
Two days later, news spread in Chang'an City that the ancient history book "Shang Shu", which had been lost for hundreds of years, had appeared and would be auctioned at the largest auction house in Chang'an City. All the scholars were upset for a moment, that was "Shang Shu"! How could this be true? How can it be put up for public auction?
Historical records, "Shangshu" is the earliest historical document recorded in history, mainly recording historical events in ancient times.
During the Qin Dynasty, when books were burned, the scholar Fu Sheng hid them in the cracks of the walls of his house. Later, during the period of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, Fu Sheng, who was in his nineties, dictated 28 chapters, which became the "Book of Documents" handed down from generation to generation.
However, when King Lu Gong of the Western Han Dynasty demolished the former residence of Confucius, he discovered another version of "Shang Shu", which was different from the one handed down by Fu Sheng, and was called the ancient "Shang Shu".
However, during the war between the two Jin Dynasties after the Han Dynasty, Fu Sheng's modern version of "Shang Shu" and the ancient version of "Shang Shu" that King Lu Gong was said to have forged were all lost.
Later, the Yuzhang Neishi Meizu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty contributed a collection of Shangshu, in which several excerpts from both modern and ancient texts were extracted and became the "Shangshu" that continues to this day. In fact, it is already a fragmentary copy.
The earliest records in Shangshu are said to have been compiled and compiled by Confucius, totaling one hundred articles. But it was passed down from generation to generation, and finally in the Tang Dynasty, there were more than fifty pieces left regardless of authenticity, which was a pity.
The news that came out of this auction was that the hundred original copies of Confucius' "Shangshu" were now available.
When Wang Jishan of the Wang family in Taiyuan got the news, he immediately went to his uncle Wang Si and asked for money! This classic must be held in hand.
