Mianzhou Assassin Zhang Guangfu, Chengdu Prefecture Yin Quan Shancai, and Chief Official Su Honghui, at least in today's Jiannan Road, are characters who cover the sky with one hand.

Just like the officialdom situation in Bashu today, it can't be described with water and needles, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it is a system from top to bottom, and there is indeed collusion between the left and the right.

Zhang Guangfu, the assassin of Mianzhou, hurriedly felt the Yue Wangfu, and immediately greeted Li Hong with joy and excitement, but when facing Li Qian and Pei Shoude, he thought for a long time before he remembered who these two people were, so he hurriedly saluted again.

At the dinner party in the Yue Wangfu, the last to come were Yin Quanshancai and Su Honghui of the Chengdu Mansion, one was the Yin of the third grade, and the other was the chief official of the fourth grade, even in Chang'an, he was also a high-ranking official who made people look at him differently.

What's more, Li Hong came to their one-acre and three-point land, and Su Honghui kept conveying a message to Li Hong during the dinner, that is, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, what should the minister change the macro character in the middle of Su Honghui to?

With such intentions, it seems that he is showing favor to Li Hong, and even believes that Li Hong will definitely be able to succeed to the throne, showing his flattery.

But at the same time, it is also hoped that the crown prince Li Hong can pay attention to his topic, and even discuss the topic of changing his name with him, so as to confirm that His Royal Highness the prince went to Jiannan Province to change the name of his courtiers and avoid his own name, and his ambition to ascend the throne as the emperor was clearly revealed.

In the end, the balance between His Majesty and the crown prince was achieved, and the world was told that His Royal Highness the prince was no longer satisfied with only serving in the East Palace, and wanted to move into the Daming Palace.

In short, if Li Hong pays attention to his topic, then the next day, whether it is Mianzhou or Chengdu Mansion, or Chang'an in a few days, it will definitely spread, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go south to change the name of the minister to avoid his own name, and build momentum in advance for his accession to the throne, which has the intention of forcing His Majesty to abdicate and make way for the virtuous.

Once such gossip is introduced to the imperial court, it will definitely be a good opportunity and a good plan to strike at the crown prince for courtiers who do not understand royal affairs, and even in their opinion, as long as such gossip reaches His Majesty's ears, it is still a matter of whether the position of the crown prince Li Hong's East Palace can be kept.

After all, now King Li Zhe of England and King Li Dan of Yin are also quite liked by His Majesty, and it is not impossible for the court to depose Li Hong and set up another prince.

This is also what the courtiers of the Jiannan Dao officialdom, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Li Ming, the king of Cao, want to do, and they have been secretly operating for so many years, preparing to give Li Hong a thunderous blow.

Li Qian and Pei Shoude, whether they are facing Zhang Guangfu, the assassin of Mianzhou, or Yin Quan Shancai and Su Honghui of Chengdu Mansion, are all respectful, and the relationship between several people makes onlookers think that they are not familiar with each other at all.

And when Li Hong asked Zhang Guangfu, Quan Shancai, or Su Honghui, he would mention that a few years ago, Uncle Yue Wang told him how capable Zhang Guangfu was, how Su Honghui cared about the people, and he often appeared in Yue Wangfu's mansion.

After these words, the originally unfamiliar relationship between Li Qian, Pei Shoude and the three of them became extremely fragile and vulnerable.

The five of them all looked a little embarrassed, Li Qian took the opportunity to retract her hair and block her vision, and then said to Li Hong: "Since the death of my father, it may also be because I have been overly sad and haggard in the past few years, so my appearance has aged a little fast in the past few years, so they don't know me anymore." ”

Pei Shoude comprehended Li Qian's eyes just now, nodded and said with the same feeling: "Father Wang Xian died, in the name of Shoude and Li Qian, it is naturally impossible to have the opportunity to deal with all the adults, from ...... Alas...... Your Royal Highness, if it weren't for you today, I'm afraid that Zhang Tingshi, Quanfu Yin, and Su Chang would not have come to the former residence of King Yue, let alone sit down to have a banquet with us. ”

"Oh? How so? Li Hong asked in surprise: "...... them Whether the three of them are in the mouths of the courtiers or in the annual assessment books of the officials, they all have excellent comments, not like the kind of ungrateful people, otherwise, Uncle Yue would not have strongly recommended them back then, and now they are still deeply trusted by the court, right? ”

Li Qian smiled a little ugly and sad, and said sadly and helplessly: "My father's rebellion was executed, they naturally wanted to get rid of the past relationship with their father, and they were afraid that they would be involved in their father's rebellion, so how could they still deal with us after my father was executed." ”

Li Hong took a sip of the wine glass unhurriedly, as if reminiscing about the past, and sighed: "When Uncle Yue rebelled, my father was also very angry, and after I returned to Chang'an, he ordered me not to investigate this matter again." And because Uncle Yue died at my hands, my father reprimanded me, and my father did not go to court for half a month to show his grief over Uncle Wang's death. But I remember that my father once said that he was very relieved about Jiannan Dao, otherwise, it would be impossible for a few people to remain in Jiannan Dao all the time, right? ”

Li Hong looked at Li Qian as he spoke, and his bright eyes kept looking at Li Qian's eyes, until Li Qian couldn't listen to Li Hong's words like Uncle Yue's rebellion, and then tilted his head to the side.

The dinner party of the five in the Yue Wang's Mansion ended very late, and Zhang Guangfu, the assassin of Mianzhou, escorted Li Qian and Pei Shoude home, while Quan Shancai and Su Honghui had to go to the post station in Mianzhou to rest because they had to accompany Li Hong to Chengdu Mansion in a few days.

Several people saluted Li Hong and said goodbye, Li Hong, who was standing at the door of the main hall, watched a few people turn around, and suddenly said: "By the way, Quan Shancai, I remember that there seems to have been some intersection between you and Di Renjie. ”

"Your Highness, the minister did make a mistake back then, but the minister did not really cut down the tree of the tomb back then, but ...... There was a tree on the side of the road, so after His Majesty figured it out, he didn't ask the guilty minister. Quan Shancai hurriedly saluted and explained to Li Hong.

"It's a matter of the past, and I'm not here to investigate this matter today, I just want to know, after Di Renjie arrived in Jiannan Dao, did he contact you? After all, it was because of his strength and Uncle Yue's recommendation that you have today's status. Li Hong walked outside the main hall with his hands behind his back, looked at a few people and asked.

"This ...... Back to His Royal Highness, before going to Mianzhou, the minister had not received any invitation or letter from Di Renjie, but if Di Renjie contacted the minister in the future, the minister would be the first to show His Royal Highness. Quan Shancai saluted Li Hong again and said.

"Well, in that case, you can go down and rest, you have been on the road for several days, and you have been eating with me until so late, thank you for your hard work." Li Hong's expression was a little lonely, obviously because there was no news of Di Renjie, which made his mood become depressed.

Yuan Shuji and Guo served as military generals, although they kept frowning at the banquet, but because they were military generals, they didn't know much about the affairs between the court's ministers and ministers, so they didn't have much say in this matter.

But Yuan Shuji met Li Hong from when Li Hong went west and stayed at Yumen Pass, and since then, he has become one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.

So it is not an exaggeration to regard him as Li Hong's confidant, when Yuan Shuji had doubts about Quan Shancai, Li Qian and a few others at the banquet, those eyebrows and eyes in the open and secret, and wanted to tell Li Hong, Li Hong just patted him on the shoulder: "In the affairs of the court, it is best for you as a military general not to interfere, especially these officials of Jiannan Dao, that heart and eye are like lotus roots, and they are exquisite." ”

"But...... Your Highness, what they are doing today is not normal, and the last general will think ...... You should find some floating slaughter camps stationed outside the city to strengthen the guards, after all, there are only 200 of your personal guards to guard them today. Yuan Shuji paused twice, and finally decided to follow Li Hong's orders, and did not evaluate those people, but only stood in the perspective of his subordinates and considered Li Hong's safety.

"It's up to you." Li Hong smiled and said.

If you want to train a person to be your confidant, to think about yourself wholeheartedly and to serve him, then this person, you must give him a certain amount of autonomy, if everything depends on your orders, then he will serve under you, and he will also feel that he cannot display his talents, and he will feel that you do not trust him.

For those who have the ability and want to really work for themselves, Li Hong has always given them a certain amount of autonomy, but he will not let them cross the line and do things that are not within their responsibility.

Let Yuan Shuji give up his evaluation of those people, because Yuan Shuji is a military general, and those people are civilian officials, if Yuan Shuji intervenes, then in the end, the entire army will work up and down, and sooner or later, the military generals will continue to interfere in the political affairs of the court.

Just like the current four eunuchs Hua Meng, Cheetah, Mangzhong and Jingjing, now their status is even among all the eunuchs in the entire Tang Dynasty, they are definitely on the spire, but they have always adhered to their duties, and it is not their duty to never participate indiscriminately.

And this is also where Li Zhi and Wu Mei are most satisfied, just at this point, they would rather look at Hua Meng and Cheetah and others, as well as Xiaoxue's palace maids, whose influence in the palace is getting bigger and bigger, and even Hua Ji and Wang Lou whose status surpasses them in front of them, and ignore it.

Yuan Shuji nodded, explained a few words to Guo Shi and Wei Tuqi, and then took the two soldiers of the personal guard, hurriedly walked out of the Yue Wang's Mansion and walked in the direction of the Futu Camp stationed outside the city.

Guo Shi and Wei Tu Qi bowed and retired, and Hua Meng and Cheetah began to prepare for Li Hong to wash up and other pre-bedtime things.

"Find out the assessment book of Quan Shancai in the Ministry of Officials for the past two years, and there are ...... Where is Fan Huaiyi now? Why hasn't there been any news since I left the Imperial Tower? If I hadn't met Kwon Sun-jae today, I would have almost forgotten about this person. Li Hong looked at the clean room, obviously this room should have been a guest residence for VIPs and other guests, and the calligraphy and paintings on the walls looked very valuable.
