In history, after Li Zhong was deposed from the position of crown prince, he was demoted to the title of King of Liang by Li Zhi and appointed as the governor of Liangzhou. Although he was granted the title of envoy, he had no real military and political power and was just a leader from afar. The senior officials act on their behalf.
In the same year, Li Zhong was appointed as the governor of Fangzhou. As he grew older, Li Zhong did not hesitate to commit suicide to save his life. He was in fear all day long, or secretly wore women's clothes to confuse others. He even woke up in the middle of the night to tell his own fortune. Divination.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhi found out about this and was furious afterwards, so Li Zhong was deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in the former residence of Li Zhi's eldest brother Li Chengqian in Qianzhou.
Four years later, Wu Mei instigated Xu Jingzong to frame Li Zhong, Shangguan Yi and others for rebellion, and was sentenced to death by Li Zhi at the age of 22.
In the second year after Li Zhong's death, Prince Li Hong requested that Li Zhong's remains be collected and buried, and Li Zhi agreed.
Finally, forty years after Li Zhong was sentenced to death, he was posthumously named King of Yan, and posthumously awarded him Taiwei and the Governor of Yangzhou.
Li Zhong, the king of Liang, who is now rushing to Taiyi City, was not appointed to Fangzhou as in the history books. Now he lives a simple life in Liangzhou, and exchanges letters with Li Hong from time to time.
Now Li Zhong is 21 years old, that is, he still has one year to live before it is recorded in the history books. But now, I am afraid no one will believe that the tragic fate will befall Li Zhong, who lives in seclusion all day long and does not care about the world. body.
While he was thinking about Li Zhong's fate in history, he didn't notice Princess Qianjin's question. After he came to his senses, Bai Chun reminded him in his ear, and he realized that Princess Qianjin was asking him, Why do we still need to select when there are 17 places
Li Hong looked at the eager eyes of Princess Qianjin and King Cao Li Ming. His gloomy face finally turned bright and he said: "Because my father asked me to leave two places for Li Xian, Li Zhe and others, so Seventeen There are actually only eight places left.”
"What?" When Princess Qianjin heard what Li Hong said, she was so shocked that she immediately stood up from her chair.
Li Zhi has eight sons. After the prince, there are seven princes and two princesses. Naturally, this takes up nine places. Isn't there only eight places left
Eight spots are divided among a dozen or twenty people! This... completely disrupted Princess Qianjin's conjecture and plan just now. Although she knew that Li Hong would not let go of the seventeen quotas easily, she did not expect such a result. If there were only eight quotas left, She, a princess who is now dispensable in the eyes of the royal family, will probably have to go on a journey in vain.
After thinking about this, Princess Qianjin sat on the chair with a gloomy and decadent face. Perhaps out of a woman's intuition, she could feel that Li Hong seemed to have a trace of hostility towards her!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Cao Wang Li Ming, who was usually close to her. Now she could only place her hope on him. The two companies must fight for a share of the partnership no matter what.
There was no room for bargaining in front of Li Hong. After a few words of greeting, they found an excuse to leave. They came to investigate as if they were guilty, and finally left with a sad and solemn expression.
After watching a few people leave, Li Hong immediately said to Bai Chun: "Remember to protect the boss's whereabouts and never reveal it to anyone, otherwise my mother will find out, and I'm afraid it won't be a matter of being beaten. Although I don’t know if the boss asked Father about it when he came out this time, but it’s still best to be careful.”
When Li Hong was explaining to Bai Chun, Princess Qianjin, who walked out of the manor and got into the carriage, was also thinking about it. What did Bai Chun tell Li Hong that could actually make Li Hong stand up from his chair? Does it mean that if you understand these things, you will have an extra bargaining chip to fight for the consent order
But this is not Luoyang City, it is her territory. Even in Luoyang City, as a down-and-out princess, it is difficult for her to get any useful information, not to mention that she is still in the Taiyi City of the prince himself.
If you want to find out something, I'm afraid you have to rely on Li Ming. This royal clan, who is not very smart, may be able to take advantage of it.
Before they had time to relax completely, Cheetah and Jingzhe ran in with a few secret letters in their hands. No need to guess, these must have been sent through Li Jingmen's channels, and the content was probably not good news.
Li Hong did not open these letters immediately, but he needed to go through all the things he had to deal with today in his mind, and he must not make any mistakes.
After thinking about it in a daze for a long time, I still couldn't completely sort out what was in my mind. After thinking about it, I tore open the secret letter in my hand.
After reading one letter, he slapped it on the table, and after reading another letter, he slapped it on the table. After reading the last letter, Li Hong shook his head like a rattle.
"How is it? How is it? What I expected is right! In less than a day, the letter of plea has arrived in my hands." Xia Zhi and others stood there without daring to say a word. No one knew what was in the letter. Is the content related to the court affairs? If you interrupt randomly at this time, if the prince is angry, you and others will definitely not be able to please him.
Bai Chun happened to walk in from the door, with fatigue written all over his weak cheeks. He walked to Li Hong and sat down, and asked calmly: "What is it? Is it possible that you are asked to allocate quotas?"
"The matter of allocating quotas is better." Li Hong sighed and said angrily: "They are all interceding for those beasts in Cuiwei Palace today!"
Bai Chun already knew about Cuiwei Palace today. When he heard about it, his forehead was wrinkled like jade, and he didn't dare to interrupt easily.
"Even though the human and physical evidence are conclusive, He Lanmin still can't be killed. My aunt and cousin seem to be very powerful in front of my father. And this Ning Daoming, Xiao Shougui, Xiao Shoudao, haha ...But they were all recommended by the important ministers who accompanied the emperor when he conquered the world. Look at the autographs of Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie and this. The Xiao Shoudao brothers were actually recommended by the British Duke Li Ji. How could I, a prince, move? Even if you are an emperor, you have to weigh it carefully after receiving the letter of mercy from these two people!" Li Hong said helplessly.
Helan Minzhi's lack of an heir is justified from a human and ethical point of view, and the punishment is postponed. If the prince wants to convict him, he can wait until Helan Minzhi has left a heir for the Dutch family, and then it is not too late to deal with it.
Who came up with this? How come there are hints of Jingzong and Li Yifu in it? It seems that I made a mistake by leaving those two people in the East Palace and Chongwen Hall.
"Tell Cheetah to order Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu to rush to Taiyi City immediately tomorrow." Li Hong thought for a while and said, lest anything happens to these two people while he is away, it would be better to keep them close by to keep an eye on them.
Li Hong could only sigh helplessly about this matter, but he had to accept this fact.
These issues of worldliness and mutual protection by officials were above the law in the previous life, leaving people helpless.
What's more, in today's society, anyone with big loopholes in Tang law can get away with it, let alone a founding figure writing a note to the prince!
But Li Hong will never give up so easily. He can't escape the death penalty. If He Lan Minzhi doesn't deal with him this time, his legs tremble when he sees him. It will be difficult to deal with him in the future. It’s getting harder.
Moreover, because of the Cuiwei Palace incident, he cannot be punished and let him become more unscrupulous and disrespectful to the royal family after leaving. Therefore, Li Hong must make He Lanmin afraid. The only way is to hang the royal majesty over his head. As long as he doesn't die, he won't be able to cause trouble in the future.
Ning Daoming, Xiao Shougui, and Xiao Shoudao must find a good place for them to go. They cannot go to places where the war is serious. Who knows whether going there will harm the country and the people!
After much thought, I couldn't think of a good place to allocate these three people, but Wu Wen and Wu Tian had already parked the carriage at the door.
Li Zhong's carriage has entered the city. As for Li Zhong's residence, Bai Chun has arranged it in a secret place near the restricted area of Taiyi City. About twenty small villas like the previous life have been built there, and Li Zhong was placed in one of them.
The carriage drove slowly in the night of Taiyi City, and the merchants coming and going were full of smiles and expectations, all looking forward to the chamber of commerce that would start in three days.
Just like ordinary people in the previous life, they would never know that before every major event, the overt and covert fights between high-level officials had already begun. By the time they waited, it was just the result of high-level decisions and compromises.
Li Hong, who had been bored all day, was drowsy in Xiaoxue's arms. He was angry and tired today. At the end of the day, his little body could no longer bear it.
Bai Chun was not brought here. Li Hong chose to let her rest and recuperate to prepare for the chamber of commerce in three days. He only brought two palace maids, Xiaoxue and Xiaohan, and the ones driving the car were naturally helpless and helpless except for Hua and Meng. Two people.
In the night, on the wide streets leading from Taiyi City to the restricted area, merchants from other places rushing to Taiyi City can be seen from time to time.
Nowadays, Taiyi City is overcrowded whether it is a wine shop, teahouse, inn or residence. In the past few days, Taiyi City's normal consumption has increased by about 70% compared with the past.
This makes those businessmen who came to Taiyi City to open shops in the early years to wake up happy every day. But even so, under the protection of Prince Liu Lv, there was not a single civil conflict in Taiyi City. There was no conflict between merchants and merchants, merchants and common people, or with officials.
These are all driven by interests. The first thing merchants who enter Taiyi City do is to be warned that if there is a conflict, no matter who is right or wrong between the two parties, they will be disqualified!
The carriage slowly drove into the entrance of the villa area, surrounded by the two thousand people led by Prince Liu, who were handed over by Li Hong to Bai Chun back then: left and right, Qing Dao led.
