Li Ji was old. Although he had seen all kinds of storms, he was still surprised when the head of Jinxiang County, whom he had never known before, came to visit.
Not only was the lineage of Prince Teng not taken seriously among the royal clan, but it was also disliked by the emperor. This was something that everyone in the court knew.
Later, King Teng somehow got involved with Li Qinzai, so he inexplicably became the vassal king supervising road construction, and he also had some power in his hands.
As for road construction, if nothing goes wrong, it will be a major project that will be slowly advanced in the next few years in the Tang Dynasty, and the power of King Teng will also increase accordingly.
Of course, Li Ji had heard about the matter involving his grandson, but Prince Teng's daughter, the Princess of Jinxiang County, took the initiative to come to visit at this juncture. Li Ji really couldn't figure it out.
Inviting the Lord of Jinxiang County into the front hall, Li Ji greeted her as an elder.
While exchanging pleasantries, he paid attention to Jinxiang's expression. Having lived to such a cunning age, Li Ji certainly couldn't naively think that the Lord of Jinxiang County had nothing to do today and came to visit in a hurry.
After Jin Xiang entered the front hall, he was extremely respectful to Li Ji. When he entered the door, he praised Li Ji for his good spirit and that he would definitely live to be one hundred and twenty years old. Then he praised the decorations of the Duke's mansion. He said that he was good here and there. .
Other licking dogs only licked people, but Jinxiang even licked the objects in the Duke's mansion. There was a strong smell of humility in the cautiousness, which made Li Ji even more unable to sit still.
If you have nothing to do to show your courtesy, could it be that Prince Teng's old prodigal son persuaded his daughter to come to borrow money?
Although everyone’s surname is Li, our families are really not familiar with each other.
Li Ji remained calm, and his eyes gradually became a little wary.
You can chat, but you can’t borrow money, and you won’t even borrow money if you kill me.
Jinxiang was feeling extremely nervous at the moment. Sitting in front of him was a man who was famous for his achievements in the Three Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty. More importantly, he was Li Qinzai's grandfather.
Li Ji was sitting in front of her calmly and calmly, like a kind old man next door, with a smile on his face that looked kind and harmless.
But Jinxiang knew that this seemingly harmless old man just hid his sharp edge in the scabbard. He is like a peerless master. In this world, there is probably no one, no matter what, that can draw his sword out of its sheath.
The guests and hosts each had their own thoughts and exchanged pleasantries for a long time. Li Ji then stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It is rare for the county lord to come to my humble residence. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but the county lord has something to say?"
Jinxiang straightened up immediately and said, "Grandpa Li, your grandson Li Qinzai has been detained in Dali Temple for three days. Aren't you anxious?"
Li Ji narrowed his eyes. This elegant and elegant county owner mentioned the unicorn beast at home. Could this be the purpose of her visit today?
Then Li Ji hissed, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
Could it be that that evil beast and the county owner...
The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and Li Ji's expression became serious.
"The county master and that evil beast of mine..." Li Ji said hesitantly.
Jin Xiang's pretty face turned red and she hurriedly denied: "I'm just a friend. I have no other intentions. Li Qinzai helped my father and was kind to my family. Now that he is in jail, this junior is anxious, so I took the liberty to come and ask Grandpa Li." Is there anything I need junior’s help with?”
Li Ji snorted, but still looked at her suspiciously.
"That evil beast is causing trouble all day long. It doesn't matter if you let Dali Temple lock him up for a few days. I'm not in a hurry."
Li Ji was not anxious, but Jin Xiang was anxious: "This...he is your grandson after all, how can he not be anxious? The prison is dirty and smelly, and there is no freedom. Young talents are imprisoned for no reason, which will inevitably weaken their energy. It is not a blessing for the country to become depressed day by day."
Li Ji calmly smoothed his beard, looked at her with an inquiring gaze, and said slowly: "It's not his sharpness that is wasted by being in prison, but his sharpness. It's not a good thing for a young man to be too sharp. This time can be regarded as a lesson to him, the county Lord, don’t worry too much.”
Jin Xiang lowered his eyelids and said softly: "Perhaps this junior is overly worried. Today is really too presumptuous."
Li Ji narrowed his eyes and said, "When did the county master and that evil beast of mine meet?"
"I met him during the merger of the two states in the middle of the year."
Li Ji snorted and said, "Has he ever bullied you?"
Jin Xiang blushed and said: "He... never bullied the juniors, but he bullied my father."
A sharp light flashed in Li Ji's eyes, and he said slowly: "Are you really just friends?"
Jin Xiang said with difficulty: "Yes."
Li Ji sighed.
Although there are no flaws in what he said, Li Ji is already a lot older. How could Jin Xiang not see the hidden affection between his son and daughter in his shy and timid expression?
That evil beast at home has done another good deed!
Murderous aura gradually rose in Li Ji's eyes, and then he silently began to choose weapons in his heart.
"The county magistrate is very righteous and works hard for his friends. I am very pleased that Qin Zai has made a true friend." Li Ji chuckled.
Jinxiang became more and more uncomfortable. Li Ji's eyes were so sharp that they seemed to pierce her heart, leaving her little child's thoughts unable to escape.
To play tricks in front of this peerless general, Jin Xiang was too young to be an enemy of Yihe.
Raising his hands to straighten his hair and temples to hide his inner panic, Jinxiang said calmly: "Junior...Junior actually didn't do anything. He just saw Li Qinzai enter the Dali Temple prison, but your mansion showed no sign, and he was confused, so he came to the door. Come and ask, this junior is rude."
Li Ji said indifferently: "It doesn't matter how many days the son of the Li family has spent in jail. Don't save that evil beast. Let him reflect in jail. Haha, the county master is a rare visitor. It is rare to come to the door. He should be entertained with a banquet." County Lord, don’t give up.”
Jin Xiang was about to refuse, but Li Ji clapped his hands and ordered his servants to hold a banquet.
Jin Xiang couldn't say no in front of Li Ji, so he had to thank him with a grimace.
…………
The court hall was filled with excitement, and countless courtiers came to criticize Li Qinzai for his evil deeds of attacking Zongzheng Temple.
The memorials flew like snow flakes to the desks of Xu Jingzong and Xu Yushi. The two prime ministers were so harassed that they had a headache and had to go to the palace to see the emperor and ask Li Zhi for instructions.
Li Zhi just said a few words, dragged it out until the limelight passed, and finally let it go.
People are already in jail, what else do they want? Could it be that because of this, I should kill the hero?
It doesn't make sense.
The two prime ministers breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the emperor's clear instructions.
The leader has spoken, and of course he has executed it meticulously.
As a result, the piles of memorials and memorials were shelved by the two prime ministers and ignored.
At the same time, Niu Fangzhi, a great scholar from Shandong, entered Chang'an City. On the day he entered the city, Niu Fangzhi went to the Imperial College to give lectures.
A lecture by a great Confucian is a rare opportunity for students, so students from the Imperial College flocked to the hall and sat respectfully in the hall to listen to Niu Fangzhi's lecture.
The great Confucian lectures progressed from easy to profound, starting from simple principles and gradually touching on the profound meanings of sages' scriptures.
When Niu Fangzhi mentioned Confucius's sentence "To learn too much and doubt", Niu Fangzhi suddenly felt something.
Although a gentleman is well-informed, when encountering something he does not understand, he still needs to remain cautious and reticent, and speak only after he understands it.
Then Niu Fangzhi made a metaphor.
For example, the recent uproar in Chang'an City was caused by Weinan County Bo Li Qinzai leading his troops to attack Zongzheng Temple.
On the surface, it looks like he is just a dandy acting recklessly and offending the imperial power, but in reality?
Looking at it from another perspective, if a treacherous official used the Weisheng case to frame and murder the princess, and County Uncle Li heard about it and led his troops into Zongzheng Temple to rescue the princess, then should Li Qinzai be rewarded or punished?
The students of the Imperial College looked at Niu Fangzhi blankly. After a long time, there was a bang, and the Imperial College exploded.
