Li Zhi suffers from high blood pressure, but after taking Li Qinzai's folk remedies, he is now in good health and rarely suffers from his old problem of dizziness.

But Li Zhi, who should be taboo, was still very careful. He was not someone who looked down upon death. He risked his own life just for the sake of food and drink. He finally became an emperor and died too early. Who are you going to explain to him?

Li Zhi ate a lot of the beef made by Li Qinzai today, which was a bit excessive, but he didn't drink much wine, which was a pity for his life.

Today, the king and his ministers played the right match. Li Qinzai's words gave Li Zhi determination. Once he made up his mind, Li Zhi suddenly became very happy.

Li Qinzai saw that Cui Sheng had put down his writing to sort out the records of the memorial. It was obvious that the memorial between the emperor and his ministers was over, so he resigned to Li Zhi.

After walking out of the palace gate, the slightly chilly autumn wind blew, and Li Qinzai's mind suddenly sobered up a little.

After scratching his head, Li Qinzai murmured: "What did I do when I entered the palace today?"

Then Li Qinzai suddenly stamped his foot: "Damn it, you forgot about business!"

Then Li Qinzai turned around and entered Anren Hall again. Li Zhi was about to leave, and the two of them bumped into each other inside the hall door.

After a muffled sound of heads hitting each other, the monarch and his subjects each squatted down with their heads in their hands.

Li Zhi covered his head and sighed: "If it weren't for you, the guards would be shouting to catch the assassin right now..."

Li Qinzai also covered his head and said: "It's a pity that Your Majesty is not a woman, otherwise this moment would have created a tragic love story..."

"What are you doing here again?"

Li Qinzai immediately ignored his head and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I want to express my grievance!"

"Why are you complaining? Who has wronged you?" Li Zhi said angrily.

"My cousin Li Jingye was framed and imprisoned for no reason. I ask your Majesty to make the decision."

Li Zhi sighed and said: "I have heard about Li Jingye. The British soldier has made brilliant achievements in military affairs throughout his life. I don't want to see the Li family be humiliated."

"But Li Jingye's case has made too much noise. In the past few days, there have been as many court officials as crucian carp crossing the river to impeach him. I have ordered Xu Youxiang to suppress the impeachment memorial, but there are still people who will not let him go at the court meeting. .”

Li Qinzai asked: "Does your Majesty believe that my cousin is innocent?"

Li Zhi was silent for a moment and said: "The affair between Li Jingye and the prisoner's wife has been confirmed. As for whether he killed the prisoner and silenced the couple, the case has been handed over to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishments for trial."

"I have never doubted the family tradition of the Li family. Li Jingye might have loosened his belt, but he couldn't do anything to kill people and silence them. Moreover, the biggest doubt in this case is that the prisoner's wife actually wrote "Li Jingye" on the wall before she died. A dedicated name, haha..."

"Not to mention whether the prisoner's wife was literate or not, even if she was literate, it was so contrived that she happened to finish writing Li Jingye's name in one breath before dying. This is so artificial..."

Li Qinzai said happily: "Your Majesty has a keen eye, which I admire. It seems that Your Majesty also knows that Li Jingye has been wronged?"

Li Zhi nodded: "I believe that Li Jingye was wronged, but... there is no proof, and he can't argue. Li Jingye's situation is still very troublesome. The people in the court are angry and talking about it, and I can't openly show favoritism, so Li Jingye is sent to the Dali Temple prison." I agreed."

Li Qinzai heard the meaning of Li Zhi's words. Li Zhi also believed that Li Jingye was wronged. But the problem was that all kinds of evidence pointed to Li Jingye. Even if the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple held a joint trial, they could only speak with evidence, and Li Jingye But he couldn't produce any evidence in his own defense.

Li Qinzai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Could it be that he could only watch Li Jingye being convicted?

Li Zhi was silent for a moment and then said: "Not only Li Jingye, Baiqisi also reported another news to me yesterday, related to your grandfather."

Li Qinzai's heart tightened: "What's the news?"

"Baiqisi inquired about rumors in the Chang'an market. In the 20th year of Zhenguan, General Li ordered Old General Li to appease Xue Yantuo Yite Wushu Khan and surrendered Dumozhi, the nephew of Zhenzhu Khan."

"However, there are rumors that in order to increase his military merits, General Li privately ordered his troops to massacre five thousand people, and also sent troops to plunder countless properties of various tribes in Xueyantuo..."

Li Qinzai's eyes widened in shock.

Killing and surrendering is a serious crime, a very heinous crime, and no amount of merit can offset it.

It is also disgraceful to use troops to plunder wealth. Both of these things are very fatal, because there are two negative teaching materials standing there clearly.

During the Zhenguan period, Hou Junji was ordered to pacify the Gaochang Kingdom. Even though the ruler of the country had surrendered, Hou Junji still boldly ordered the surrender and killed all the people in the capital of Gaochang Kingdom.

Also during the Zhenguan period, Li Jingping, the god of war, invaded the Turks. After the war, some court officials exposed Li Jing for plundering money.

The fate of Hou Junji and Li Jing is well known. Hou Junji died in rebellion. After pacifying the Turks, Li Jing closed his doors and refused to participate in any military affairs.

Now, someone in Chang'an City actually spread rumors about Li Ji's fault for the same reason. Although this matter was only spread among the people, it was only a matter of time before it went to court.

Li Qinzai suddenly felt angry. Grandpa's guess was correct. Someone was indeed targeting the British government. Li Jingye's case was just an appetizer. The rumors related to Li Ji were the real killer move.

"Your Majesty, there must be someone with evil intentions and malicious intent to frame this matter." Li Qinzai said in a deep voice.

Li Zhi smiled: "I am not an ignorant person. Of course I know that some people want to harm General Li. Do you think I am stupid when you bring out what happened more than 20 years ago?"

Then Li Zhi sighed again and said: "But people's words are worth their weight in gold, and people's words are fearful. The old general has dedicated his whole life for the Tang Dynasty. I don't want to see the old general's innocence being tainted by others when he is old, so I have issued an order." , order Detective Baiqisi to investigate and find out the culprit who spread the rumors."

"Two incidents in succession have implicated your Li family. Obviously there is someone behind the scenes. I cannot take sides openly. Jing Chu, there are some things that you have to investigate on your own."

Li Qinzai suddenly said: "If I take action to investigate, there will be many inconveniences, and my temper is a bit irritable when encountering trouble..."

Li Zhi glanced at him and said: "You are an arrogant and domineering dude. Naturally, he behaves differently. You might as well say so."

"Ahem, yes, what I mean is that if I do something irrational, please show me your kindness..."

Li Zhi smiled: "Don't worry, I'm very sensible."

…………

After walking out of the Tai Chi Palace, Li Qinzai's face was gloomy. After chatting with Li Zhi, he finally determined that someone in Chang'an City had not only plotted against him, but also against the entire Duke's Mansion.

The enemies hiding in the dark are the most terrifying, and Li Qinzai must become serious.

Fortunately, Li Zhi had just agreed to temporarily lend him Baiqisi, who could help him find suspicious people as appropriate and clear the British government's innocence.

Liu Asi, Lao Wei and other tribes came up to him and were about to help Li Qin load into the carriage, but were stopped by Li Qinzai with his hand.

"Ah Si, please find Song Sen yourself and ask him to help me check on a few people."
