Dark Night, Korean Mansion.

The door of the mansion opened, Liu Ji and Yang Daosi walked out, and Liu Ji, as the master, was sent to the bottom of the steps, and dozens of meters away, an ordinary-looking carriage waited quietly.

"It's windy in the dark night, Liu Xiangguo go back!"

Yang Daosi said goodbye lightly.

Liu Wei looked at Yang Daosi and sighed: "Yang Xiangguo, what kind of person is Huang Xu, you should know that it is unfair to him to do this." ”

Yang Daosi was silent for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly: "The family experience is difficult to read, and there are some things that I can't call the shots." ”

Liu Wei's whole body shook slightly, and he heard something from Yang Daosi's words.

"Brother Ziqi, go back!"

Yang Daosi took one last look at Liu Ji and walked away.

Looking at Yang Daosi's trembling back, Liu Ji's expression was a little gloomy, and some adult past events couldn't help but appear in his mind, the two teenagers were so high-spirited, talented, ambitious, guiding the world, smiling and arrogant, and once became a good friend and confidant, but with the gradual rise of status, the families and political forces they represent are getting farther and farther away, no matter how good the friendship is, in the end, it can only turn into a helpless sigh.

"Father, it's windy outside, can you go home and rest?"

A thin man in his forties came to Liu Wei's side and put the cloak in his hand on him.

Liu Wei has three sons and three daughters, he is not a good woman, only one wife and two concubines in his life, three daughters, all of them are born by his wife, there are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, until he is thirty years old, Liu Ji, who has no male heirs, only accepted concubines and gave birth to three sons in succession.

The eldest son, Liu Guanghui, is forty-six years old, the second son, Liu Guangyan, is forty-five years old, and the youngest son, Liu Guanghui, is forty-four years old.

Liu Ji's three sons, the eldest son and the second son have been brilliant since childhood, but they are not official materials, they only had a short time in the official career, that is, they resigned and retired, and the youngest son Liu Guanghui is much worse than the two elder brothers, and he is also stupid, but this is the worst youngest son, but he is relying on the diligence of the day after tomorrow, relying on the steady character, only eighteen years old, is the first in one fell swoop, more than 20 years have passed, and now he is a second-class member, in order to participate in the governor's political affairs, and concurrently serve as the history of Yangzhou Thorn, in office for seven years, excellent political performance, Zhao Zhi appreciated it very much, if it weren't for his father, he would be the left minister of the dynasty, and the ancestral precepts stipulate that father and son must not be in the same dynasty, otherwise, this son of his own, I am afraid that a few years earlier, he would have entered the cabinet as a prime minister.

Liu Wei sighed and said: "I haven't seen the glory for three years, and I don't know if he can come back this year." ”

Streamer lowered his head slightly, and said sadly: "It's the child's fault that you can't share your father's worries." ”

"Over the years, under the management of your eldest brother and you, the ancestral family of Hedong and the main family of Fengjing, nothing has happened to me that bothers me, the family industry and family education have been greatly improved, and your credit is also great."

Liu Yu shook his head, and with the support of his son, he turned around and entered the house.

On November 25, the court meeting on this day, the peace alliance with the Dashi Empire, and the transfer of soldiers from Longyou to fill the Hedong military were all passed in accordance with Zhao Zhi's will.

In the end, someone mentioned the matter of mentioning the yellow scold, but Zhao Zhi revealed the past on the grounds that "it is under trial, and it is not appropriate to discuss too much for the time being", and in the face of such results, the courtiers were silent, and Liu Ji, who was rarely absent from the court meeting, was sick and did not participate.

Only a few people know that in the days between Huang Zhi's arrest and this court meeting, Liu Ji entered the palace several times to meet Zhao Zhi, but outsiders don't know what happened.

"Young master, General Mao Anfu Mao is here and is waiting in the living room."

The voice of a servant came from outside the door.

"Got it, I'll be right here."

In the room, Li Xun put down the book in his hand, got up and walked outside, after Huang Xun was arrested, Li Yi sent a message from the palace, asking Li Xun not to go anywhere in the near future, so that he could stay at home.

In the living room, Mao Anfu walked back and forth there, looking restless.

"Brother Mao, why do you have time to find me today." Li Xun walked into the living room.

Mao Anfu looked at Li Xun and said in a deep voice: "Li Xun, something happened to Shan Qiu. ”

Big Brother Shan?

"Tell me what's wrong."

After Huang Qiu was arrested, Shan Qiu sought to meet Zhao Zhi and intercede for him, but was persuaded by Mao Anfu to come down, yesterday, Shan Qiu and Mao Anfu went to Dali Temple to visit Huang Qi, and saw that his body was scarred, obviously he had been tortured, Shan Qiu could no longer hold back the grief and indignation in his heart, regardless of Mao Anfu's dissuasion, insisted on entering the palace, and asked to see Zhao Zhi, this morning, Mao Anfu asked people to inquire about the news, and learned that Shan Qiu knelt down to face the saint, Zhao Zhi did not see it at all, Shan Qiu was also stubborn, he actually knelt all night, never left, Mao Anfu was anxious, afraid of Shan Qiu's move, will anger Zhao Zhi and invite death, so he finds Li Xun and asks for help.

Mao Anfu sighed: "In the past few days, Shan Qiu and I have asked people to help everywhere, but we ..... I really can't help it, so I found you. ”

The people who should be looking for have been found, but the effect is very bad, those people are either perfunctory or prevaricated, in fact, Mao Anfu and Shan Qiu know in their hearts, Huang Zhi's arrest was not discussed by the court meeting and the political hall, but was secretly ordered by Zhao Zhi to be arrested directly, Zhao Zhi is obviously ready to die.

Listening to Mao Anfu's words, Li Xun was silent, he was not hesitating, nor was he afraid of causing trouble, but he was thinking about whether he could help, the more critical the moment, the more he had to think twice, this truth, Li Xun understood.

Seeing that Li Xun was silent, Mao Anfu sighed: "Li Xun, I know you are very embarrassed, in fact, I should have entered the palace with Shan Qiu, but..."

Speaking of which, Mao Anfu had a painful look on his face, he was born in a poor background, and he risked his life, which is not easy to get to today's status, from the perspective of affection, it is difficult to stand up now, and he should come forward, but... Mao Anfu also has his own thoughts, he is just a small person, after Huang Yan was arrested, so many ministers were silent, not daring to plead rashly, what can he help? is as willful as a single revenge, and in the end, I'm afraid that even I have to get into it.

"I'll enter the palace immediately, I will do my best for Brother Shan's affairs." Li Xun did not mention Huang Xun, because in this kind of big event, Zhao Zhi will never give himself any face because of his feelings, for Mao Anfu, Li Xun did not look down on him in his heart, everyone has their own weight, acting recklessly, in the end, no one can help, and it is not wise to take it in.

"I'll go to Shan Qiu's house and wait for news, if you are rescued, you can go home directly, if so, ....."

Mao Anfu had a bitterness on his face, if he couldn't save it, he didn't know what to do, he arched his hand, Mao Anfu turned around and left.

Li Xun pondered for a moment, and then walked out.
