Li Chengru immediately smiled: "Guoshi, Guoshi, you really don't know your blessings. You're used to seeing talent and national color in the capital. I don't know what's going on outside. Let me make an example. As a Guoshi, it's easy to eat braised meat? Maybe you'll get tired of it, but outside, people only eat braised meat once a year. It's the same as beauty, people What kind of elegant women can you raise by planting small families? No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not as beautiful as a little maid in our palace. When I first entered the palace, I felt that the palace was refreshing. Everything looked better than in the frontier. How could I pay attention to a palace maid? "
The national master smiled and said, "so, what the seventh Lord means is, have you never seen the boy? Have you never seen the landlady?"
"Of course not." Li Chengru must be authentic.
The National Master said again, "however, according to my reliable information, they are indeed in that tribe. The reason why we summoned the seventh prince into the palace is to listen to the opinions of the seventh prince. If the seventh Prince has nothing to do with this matter, it is the fault of the tribe. They harbor imperial criminals and should be beheaded. The seventh prince said, isn't it?"
All cut?
After hearing this, Li Chengru suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
Now he is given a choice. First, he has completely pushed his own responsibility. Even if they find out that Xiao Xunzi is in the tribe, it has nothing to do with him and Li Chengyi.
Second, take all the responsibilities and admit that Xiao Xunzi was hidden in the tribe.
As a result of the first approach, Xiao Xunzi and Jin Xiaoyu will certainly die, and they may also involve ye and Liu Yuan.
The second consequence is that if they die, Xiao Xunzi will die as well as ye and Liu.
Li Chengru's mind quickly turned around and finally returned to the question of the National Teacher: "if, as the national teacher said, the grandson of the old prime minister is in the tribe, and the people in the tribe harbored him, it should be cut. There's nothing to say."
The national master immediately laughed: "the seventh Lord is so decisive that it must have nothing to do with the little evil seed."
Li Chengru looked discontented: "is it because of this that the national master and brother Sanhuang called me and brother Liuhuang back to Beijing? Isn't it too much of a fuss? If you find out that Xiao Xunzi is in the tribe and write directly to brother Liuhuang and me, let's go and destroy the cadres of the tribe?"
The national teacher stopped laughing, Then stare at Li Chengru and Taoism: "Naturally, it's not entirely because of that evil seed that he called you back. It's also because his majesty misses you. After all, you are brothers. However, your majesty, when you are brothers, you may not treat him as a brother. What you just said is just your superficial words. We need to listen to what your six royal brothers say and see if his words are the same as those of the seven princes."
Li Chengru sneered, "where is this brotherhood? Isn't this a separate trial?"
The national teacher is also cunning: "how can the seventh Lord say so, your majesty? Brotherhood also has a premise. Not cheating is the premise."
……
Li Chengkun.
Li Chengyi picked up his tea cup and took a sip of tea. During that sip of tea, his mind has turned countless times.
Did Xiao Xunzi take refuge in him?
How do you understand this?
They must have been caught by Li Chengkun, otherwise the emperor would not have called them back.
The recall was also tried separately, apparently to set them up.
Li Chengyi finished his tea, There was already an answer in my mind: "brother Huang, is the rebellious minister you said the former Prime Minister Xun? I remember someone came to me and said that the prime minister Xun fled with his grandson and came to Baoning city. At that time, my younger brother also assisted in searching the city, but he didn't find it. As for his refuge, it's nonsense. How could the grandson of the guilty minister come to me?"
Li Chengkun put the letter of reference written by DINGHE County in front of Li Chengyi: "just look, this Tianshan tribe is your territory. Someone saw this little Xunzi going in and out of the tribe, and also saw the seventh emperor's younger brother coming to the tribe from time to time. If you don't know, I don't understand. Give me an explanation."
Li Chengyi carefully read the letter of reference. After reading it, he couldn't help laughing, Again: "Brother Huang, this is obviously an unwarranted crime. As far as I know, those people of Tianshan tribe are refugees from the Central Plains in the past. They lived there two years ago. The seventh emperor's younger brother had an intersection with them, so he helped them do business so that they could settle down in the local area. This business started two years ago. It is obviously not true that the seventh emperor's younger brother colluded with them because of Xiao Xunzi OK.
In addition, the little Xunzi escaped last year. After last year, the seventh emperor's younger brother only went to the Tianshan tribe once, or during the animal festival of the tribe. At that time, the owners of the tribe came out and gathered together. The seventh emperor's younger brother didn't know little Xunzi. Even if he saw him, he didn't know him. Why hide it?
Two years ago, after the turmoil in the south, many refugees fled to Baoning city. Each tribe was divided into many refugees. The seventh emperor's brother came to help me deal with and properly resettle the refugees. Not only the Tianshan tribe, but also other tribes have to go. If so, how can he start his work? "
After hearing this, Li Chengkun asked, "do you mean that you don't know that Xiao Xunzi is in Tianshan tribe?"
Li Chengyi affirmed: "of course I don't know. If I know, my younger brother will catch him and send him to the capital for your punishment, brother Huang."
Li Chengkun took a sip of tea and said, "so, harbouring criminals is only the work of the troublemakers of Tianshan tribe. I should order that all the people there should be beheaded."
Li Chengyi's face suddenly changed when he heard of the beheading.
Li Chengkun saw it. He asked, "what's the matter, younger brother? Do you hate a small tribe, or do you say there are people you care about in the tribe?"
"No, it's just that my younger brother has been far away from the court these years. He has little contact with killing. When he hears the word 'ask and cut', he has some resistance in his heart."
Li Chengkun said with a smile, "my younger brother is really suitable to stay away from the court and live a peaceful life. But now that you have come back with the seventh emperor's younger brother, you can stay in the capital for a few more days, talk about court politics with the emperor's elder brother and give him more advice."
"My younger brother is incompetent. How dare you talk nonsense about the government."
"My younger brother, don't be modest. Even if you don't talk about government, you can stay in the capital to play more. It's very hard in the West. You won't feel the prosperity here when you go back."
……
After Li Chengyi and Li Chengru left the palace, Li Chengkun called the national teacher.
After comparing their words, they found that they were similar.
The national teacher asked: "Your Majesty, do they really know nothing? Because just after the old minister mentioned that he was going to kill all the people of the tribe, although the seven kings tangled for a while, he agreed."
Li Chengkun said calmly, "if the people of the tribe didn't die, it would be them. They must know which is more important. But their confessions are consistent, which is a little beyond my imagination."
"The key is that neither of them protects the people of the tribe, which means that they don't care whether the little Xunzi lives or dies. Even if they once protected the little Xunzi, now they give up, which means that in their mind, identity is more important than everything, and they are afraid of you."
Li Chengkun asked, "in your opinion, what should we do with them?"
"In my opinion, first leave the sixth Prince and the seventh prince in the capital for a period of time. Then I ordered the people over there to kill the tribe. First, kill the remaining evil. Second, give the two kings far away in the west a warning to let them know that they can't ignore your majesty even if they are far away in the frontier. If this happens again in the future, they should know how to make a decision."
Li Chengkun nodded and said, "OK, I'll leave this matter to the national teacher to investigate and deal with."
……
Li Chengyi and Li Chengshen left the palace, followed by dark guards.
They must not be allowed to quietly inform the tribe, so they were trapped in the capital.
The two of them went to a restaurant for dinner.
This restaurant is the best restaurant in the capital. There are the best cooks in the capital. All the people who come here for dinner every day are the sons of aristocratic families in the capital.
Since Li Chengyi has not been in the capital for a long time, not many people in the capital have known him.
However, Li Chengru surprised many people, including some aristocratic families.
For example, the daughter of the Minister of household held a banquet here today to entertain a group of poetry friends. When she saw Li Chengru coming, she looked very surprised and wanted to say hello, but Li Chengru's face was so smelly that she didn't dare to disturb her.
Qianjin went back to her private room and said she saw Li Chengru. She looked in a bad mood.
Her poetry friends began to talk about it:
"The seventh Lord is still going his own way as before. He doesn't pay attention to people at all."
"He has been at the border for the past two years. I wonder that a dignified prince likes to stay at the border. He doesn't care about his future at all, just whether he is happy or not."
"He hasn't married the imperial concubine. There are several side imperial concubines in the house. He doesn't come back to have a look. Up to now, he still doesn't have a son."
"That means he doesn't care about his status."
"Well, whatever he likes, it's a pity that Bai looks so good."
“……”
Li Chengyi and Li Chengru also asked for a private room.
After sitting down, they immediately exchanged the situation they had just been in the palace. When they learned that they had the same idea, the brothers breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.
But at the thought of the people in the tribe and the disaster they might face next, their hearts began to pull again.
Li Chengru analyzed: "I guess someone must have reported Xiao Xunzi, but they didn't report Xiao Baoshan, so I guess the informant didn't know Xiao Baoshan was still alive."
"Yes, it is because there is xiaobaoshan that I dare to push this relationship clean. I don't know if xiaobaoshan can keep the people of the tribe." Li Chengkun frowned.
