The person who spoke was Li Linfu, and at this moment he looked at Zheng Peng with a sincere face, and there was a sense of invitation in his eyes, as if to say that I gave me the opportunity to show my face, and I should be thanked.
In an instant, everyone present turned their eyes to Zheng Peng, and many people still had expectations in their eyes, even Li Longji swallowed back what he said, and turned his head to look at Zheng Peng.
In the imperial study, Zheng Peng is the most low-key existence, but it is also the most non-negligible existence, even during the suspension period, no one dares to ignore Zheng Peng's existence, until Li Linfu reminded everyone that everyone realized that Zheng Peng, who was sitting in the corner, had never expressed his opinion.
With a strong military capital, a backer from the Boling Cui clan, and a precedent of successfully resolving the division of family property, everyone has high expectations for Zheng Peng.
What a sister, this Li Linfu is really unsettled, like a-stirring stick, he is everywhere, he wants to come to watch the fire from the other side, and call it a day after a formality, it is Li Linfu who forces himself to make a statement.
This state is not easy to express, if you agree with Xiao Song, it may make people feel that it is a personal vendetta of the communiqué, after all, everyone knows about the festival between herself and the prince's mansion, if you agree with Han Xiu's suggestion, Li Longji is not angry or two-hearted, Concubine Wu Hui will definitely resent herself; If you don't express your position, you will let people say that you are a corpse vegetarian meal, and you will not do anything just with money.
Zheng Peng scolded Li Linfu in his heart, afraid that others would say that he was putting up a fight, so he responded: "Don't hide it from you, I was very shocked when I heard this, my heart was like numbness, I have been busy with road construction recently, many things in Chang'an City are not clear, I don't know much about today's things, and I don't know how to talk about it for a while, I think the emperor has already had an idea in his heart, and Weichen listens to the emperor." ”
Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, just listen to Li Longji, anyway, he is a high emperor, and it is not easy for others to say anything when it is spread out.
"It's really worthy of being a famous wise man in the Tang Dynasty" Li Linfu added on the side: "The meaning of the champion is that this is the emperor's family matter, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and the emperor's family affairs are not easy for us ministers to intervene, no matter how the emperor deals with it, it is right." ”
Xiao Song's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Champion Hou's words are too good, this is the emperor's family affairs, and the ministers are not easy to mix." ”
As soon as Li Linfu and Xiao Song spoke, everyone echoed, even the ministers who were the crown prince just now also expressed their stance that the emperor should handle the family affairs by himself, even Han Xiu hesitated, and finally followed the crowd.
Li Longji defined the whole thing at the beginning, if it was too small, he could still ask for mercy, now it is Li Ying who led people to attack the palace, and also attacked Danfeng Gate, the nature has completely changed, no matter what the reason, it is a big crime of disrespect, no one can save Li Ying, whether to kill or leave it all in Li Longji's thoughts, and besides, the ministers are seriously divided, and those ministers who support the prince will give up.
Now that the emperor is on fire, if he can't plant himself in it, the gains outweigh the losses.
Li Longji glanced at Zheng Peng with some approval, and then nodded slowly and said: "From Aiqing's opinion, I can't say anything more, it's a big matter, I have to go back and think about it." ”
If it were an outsider, Li Longji would not hesitate to betray Ling Chi to execute, but Li Ying was his son after all, and he was once his favorite person, so he still had a little hesitation in his heart.
Zheng Peng was a little dumbfounded, he just pushed and shoved, meaning to listen to Li Longji's words, but he didn't mean to talk about family affairs, Li Linfu was so distorted, he had a feeling of being put on stage to take advantage of, he opened his mouth to explain something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
I guess it doesn't work.
Li Linfu's move is too damaging, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Longji is not ready to let go of the prince, at this time to say that this matter is a family matter, it is clear that he wants to put the prince Li Ying in a desperate situation, especially when the prince Li Ying still has a grudge with him, if it is spread out, he will definitely be scolded, and maybe he will be recorded in the annals of history and scolded by the world.
The more Zheng Peng thought about it, the more unwilling he became, his eyes rolled, and he quickly had an idea: "The emperor is wise, but the prince is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, his status is extraordinary, and his every move has attracted much attention, if it is not handled properly, it is not only difficult to be convinced, but even the emperor's reputation will be damaged, Weichen and others don't know the details, and they are foreign ministers, so it is not good to comment......
Hearing what Zheng Peng said, Li Longji immediately asked: "Aiqing thinks, who can comment?" ”
Zheng Peng glanced at Li Linfu, who was secretly happy on the side, and quickly said: "Weichen feels that this matter is none other than Li Zhilang, firstly, Li Shilang has served in the East Palace and is most familiar with the behavior of the prince, and secondly, Li Shilang serves as the position of the servant of the ministry, and this position is best at evaluation; The last and most important point is that Li Shilang is from the Tang Dynasty, and when it comes to seniority or the elder of the prince, the family affairs that are not easy for foreign ministers to comment on are not barrier-free to Li Shilang. ”
This Li Linfu wants to be a good person and let Zheng Peng be a bad person, Zheng Peng can't be fooled by this, how Li Linfu kicks this problem to himself, he will kick it back to Li Linfu.
"That's right" At this time, Cui Yuan turned on the true nature of protecting the calf at the right time, and echoed: "In the government and the opposition, I really can't find a more suitable person than Li Shilang, I believe that Li Shilang will not disappoint the emperor." ”
Xiao Song nodded and said, "The old minister seconded the proposal, and it is most appropriate for Li Shilang to evaluate this matter." ”
The more Li Linfu climbs, the more Xiao Song wants to dismantle his platform, lest he threaten his status, and now that Cui Yuan is speaking, he can not only suppress Li Linfu, but also sell Cui Yuan a favor, it's not too cool.
"Li Shilang is the most suitable."
"The same ancestry, the same origin, knowing the roots, is Li Shilang."
The old minister agreed.
Some people are not used to Li Linfu's villain style, some people give Cui Yuan face, and some people follow the crowd and express their agreement, Li Longji nodded when he heard the words and said: "Li Aiqing, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”
Li Linfu hated Zheng Peng to death in his heart, when Zheng Peng peeked at himself just now, he secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good, this matter was originally out of his own hands, but Zheng Peng made it like this, and suddenly put himself in a dilemma, if he said that the prince was not, the world would scold him for being ungrateful and betraying the old master; If he spoke for the prince, he would definitely make Concubine Wu Hui unhappy, and besides, he worked so hard, wasn't it just to hug Concubine Wu Hui's thighs?
The emperor's attitude is already very clear, there is still Concubine Wu Hui behind him, the fall of the crown prince Li Ying is just a matter of earlier or later, as soon as he saw Zheng Peng, he was angry and wanted to set a trap for him, but he didn't expect Zheng Peng to return this trap to himself quietly, he really moved a stone and hit his own feet, and Li Linfu at this time couldn't wait to pump himself a few times.
His stomach was so remorseful that his intestines were blue, Li Linfu didn't dare to disobey Li Longji's words, hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said hard: "Back to the emperor's words, Weichen feels that if you are wrong, you are wrong, the prince is in the position of the prince, and he should set an example for all the people in the world, but the prince has done a very bad behavior and needs to be punished for his behavior." ”
Li Ying is finished, not to mention returning to glory, even being able to leave a life has become a luxury, the prince falls, it is undoubtedly the most beneficial to Concubine Wu Hui and King Shou, at this time, it is even more important to show loyalty to Concubine Wu Hui, if it is half-hearted, it will definitely not be pleasant, and Li Linfu is also involved in the prince's "entering the palace to kill thieves", it is better to fall to the bottom and add points for yourself.
What does the reputation say, when he requisitioned land for Zheng Peng, he had already gained notoriety, and he would lose a few more scoldings, and Li Linfu could be regarded as letting go.
When Li Longji heard this, he didn't say good, he didn't say bad, he just pondered for a while, and then waved his hand and signaled everyone to retreat, he needed time to be alone and meditate.
After leaving the palace, as when they came, Zheng Peng and Cui Yuan sat in the same carriage.
After being silent for a while, Zheng Peng spoke: "King Shen is free and easy, he said at the beginning that he was accompanying the emperor, so he sat there and didn't speak, and no one should be offended." ”
Cui Yuan nodded and said: "The emperor doesn't like several princes to participate in court politics, and it is appropriate for King Shen to do this, and besides, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and it is not easy to speak." ”
"Father" Zheng Peng suddenly asked: "The emperor is obviously hesitant to treat the crown prince, will the prince ......?"
"No!" Cui Yuan said categorically: "No matter how many cat's tears fall, it can't change the fate of the mouse, if the emperor didn't kill decisively, he wouldn't have today's achievements, and there is Concubine Wu Hui behind the force, the prince..."
Cui Yuan didn't speak again, and made a throat-slitting motion in his right hand.
