"It's chaos, it's all chaos now!"
The lanterns were starting to come on outside, but in the courtyard of Xiao Mansion in Sanyuan County, long sighs could be heard from time to time.
In the warm and spacious hall, Xiao Han was sitting at a large round wooden table, savoring an extremely precious Yangtze River shad, not caring about Liu Hongji and others who were blowing their beards and staring.
"Xiao Han! You want to say something? Do you know that those people under the prince are crazy! We recruit soldiers to impeach them, and they will impeach even when they stay at home. Even when they are wandering on the streets, some people will impeach!"
Duan Zhixuan became a little anxious when he saw that Xiao Han was only focused on eating. He didn't know whether it was hot or angry, but there was a trace of smoke rising on the head that looked like a braised egg. It looked like it had just come out of the pot... …
"Say something?" Xiao Han put down the chopsticks in his hands and glanced at the people on the table strangely: "Oh, you're welcome, use your chopsticks! This fish is a tribute fish. I won't wait until I see it before I try it."
"Who told you to say this!"
Hearing that Xiao Han had been holding it in for a long time and could only say this sentence, Liu Hongji stood up angrily and said angrily: "We came from Chang'an to find you at night, not to eat some bad fish! But to see how good your brain is. Let me give you an idea!"
"Brother, what ideas can I have?" Xiao Han glanced at him and curled his lips and said, "If I had an idea, I wouldn't hide at home every day."
"Then you can't be bullied like this!" Liu Hongji's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he slammed the table so hard that the dishes almost jumped: "I don't care, if you don't come up with a charter, I will Tomorrow I will beat them one by one, especially that old fellow Liu Xun, I will tear off his head and use it as a ball to kick!"
"Liu Xun? Why did he offend you? Aren't you still in the same family?" Xiao Han was a little strange. Liu Xun was the imperial censor, and he knew this, but he didn't know how this guy offended Liu Hongji.
"Bullshit, my old Liu family doesn't have such disgusting things!" Liu Hongji cursed angrily, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and drank two sips without even using a cup.
Xiao Han became more and more strange. When Qin Shubao saw it, he explained to him in a low voice: "Liu Xun impeached Liu Hongji for misconduct in front of the palace a few days ago."
"Disrespect in front of the palace?"
Xiao Han scratched his head. He had been accused of this crime many times before, but speaking of it, it was always a trivial matter. How could Liu Hongji hate him so much?
Qin Shubao is also a smart man. One look at Xiao Han's appearance and he knows what he is wondering about.
After a pause, Qin Shubao continued: "Impeachment is a trivial matter, but after the court dispersed, the two of them quarreled at the palace gate. You also know how powerful Hongji's mouth is, and Liu Xun couldn't scold him. He was so angry for a moment, Just say that he has no tutor, and even bring up the story of him being arrested in the past to humiliate him."
"Oh~" Xiao Han suddenly understood, nodded and then asked: "Is Liu Xun okay now?"
Qin Shubao smiled bitterly and said: "I got punched and kicked. If we hadn't done it, I probably wouldn't have ended up in bed at home."
"That's right! Let him be so mean!" Xiao Han felt a little relieved when he heard this expected ending. He picked up the wine and toasted to Liu Hongji, who was still aggrieved across from him.
Everyone here knows that the experiences of being captured several times were the pain point of Liu Hongji’s life! If someone dared to touch him, if he didn't get beaten to death, it was really a sign of mercy on his part.
Qin Shubao served a glass of wine to accompany him. After putting down the glass, he sighed deeply and said: "People like this have been beaten before, and they always reprimanded and fined them. But this time seems to be different. I heard that The emperor was extremely angry when he learned about it, and Brother Liu may also be exiled this time."
"Exiled again? Exiled, just exiled. At worst, just like me, just run back secretly!"
Cheng Yaojin, who had been eating and drinking with Xiao Han for the past two days, didn't care. Ever since Xiao Han gave up the idea of assassinating Li Jiancheng, his life had become more and more carefree day by day, and now he felt quite happy and unwilling to miss Shu.
"Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?" Xiao Han glanced at Cheng Yaojin and didn't agree with what he said. Then he turned his head and said seriously: "Isn't there going to be a war now? How can we still exile the generals? Are you not afraid? Will it cause instability in the morale of the army?"
"A war? It looks like we can't fight anymore!"
When Liu Hongji heard this, he raised his neck and took another sip of wine, and then said in a depressed tone: "The grandsons in the court want to pay compensation and reconcile. The issue of sending troops has been slowed down. I'm afraid there won't be another fight."
"Reconciliation? Just watch those beasts wreaking havoc on the border?" Xiao Han was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he realize that in order to prevent Li Shimin from seizing military power again, the prince and his people would even do such a thing as humiliating the country and losing power.
Having been in the Tang Dynasty for so long, he naturally knows how the Turks behave. Those uncivilized things cannot be called human beings at all!
Going back on their word is their usual style! Even if the Tang Dynasty offered them large sums of money every year, they would rely on their strong soldiers and horses to break into some border areas and plunder everything they could see, including the population.
In those places, old people and children are killed! Men are used as slaves! As for women, especially pretty women, their fate is even more miserable and unbearable to read!
"What about King Qin? What did he say?" Xiao Han asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Liu Hongji rolled his eyes: "What else can you say? He is in a dilemma now! If he wants military power, he will be accused of having evil intentions! If he doesn't want military power, he is afraid that others will lose the battle!"
"Why……"
At this point, I no longer have the intention to continue talking. Thinking of the chaotic power confrontation between the DPRK and China and the suffering at the border, everyone at the table could only suppress their anger and feel sad.
"It's almost time, wait a minute! When all this is settled, all the debts will be paid back bit by bit!" Among the few people, only Xiao Han gritted his teeth and swore secretly in his heart.
The moon in the sky is like a hook, shining on Sanyuan County and also on Chang'an City.
No one knew that in the East Palace, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were also frowning at this time.
The dignified prince of a country was actually forced by a prince to use some shameful means to frame dissidents. This made Li Jiancheng quite disappointed.
"How about I invite him to my house in two days, and prepare an ambush in advance to kill him? To avoid future troubles?"
Pursing his lips, Li Yuanji suddenly looked up at Li Jiancheng, with a ruthless look on his ugly face!
However, Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "Now that everyone is in the same situation, if you invite me rashly, he may not go."
Li Yuanji sneered and said: "If you invite him alone, he will naturally not go, but if you invite your father together, he will have to go! As long as you find an opportunity, it is not difficult to kill him!"
"Kill him in front of your father?" Li Jiancheng looked a little pale and his voice trembled unconsciously.
He has always played a magnanimous role in front of Li Yuan. If he suddenly becomes cruel, God knows what Li Yuan will think?
