Li Siwen looked at the new tea that Li Hong had specially brewed for him, and was very grateful. Looking at the elegant and fragrant cup of tea, Li Siwen, who had just wiped the sweat off his forehead, saw beads of sweat appear on his forehead again. Looking at Li Hong, he said with some embarrassment and restraint: "Your Highness... I... I am just on my way today. I am empty now. I wonder if I can give you a meal first..."
At the end of his speech, Li Siwen's stomach growled unsatisfactorily, as if to prove that what he said was true and that he was really hungry.
Li Hong's face darkened, he glanced at Princess Dalai who almost laughed out loud, and then said: "Take Li Jishong down to bathe and change clothes, and then come back after eating. I'll wait for him here."
"Your Highness, no need, I just need a bite to eat."
"Any important matter is not as strong as the minister's ability to offer advice to the court, so you don't have to refuse." Li Hong firmly refused.
"This... is, Your Highness, I obey your orders. This is the letter I wrote to you before I came here, as well as the letter from Li Jingye to me." After a pause, Li Siwen took out his own handwritten letter and spoke to Li The letter written by Jingye to him was also sent to Li Hong.
Li Hong picked up the letter from Li Siwen to himself in a strange way and asked, "You are already here, why do you still need a letter?"
"When I return to Your Highness, I am afraid that this journey will be uneven and that I will be discovered by Li Jingye, so I have written a letter in advance. If something unexpected happens to me on the way here, I will ask my servant to send this letter to Your Highness to avoid any mistakes. It's a big deal for the court." Li Siwen wiped the sweat from his forehead again and said awkwardly, because his stomach protested with hunger again.
"Go." Li Hong waved his hand and said, then his eyes moved to the letter.
Li Hong took a few letters and did not open them immediately. Princess Dalai who was standing by saw that Li Siwen had disappeared. After looking around for no one, she came over again and urged: "Open it quickly and take a look. "
Li Hong glanced at her lightly, put the letter on the desk, paused for a while, and then slowly said: "Do you think you should judge whether a minister is loyal to you?"
Princess Dalai was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Hong's somewhat mysterious eyes, then looked at the already empty corridor, and said in a daze: "You know it from the looks of it. You must have rushed here in the dust." I am a loyal minister to you."
"With your IQ, your father still values you so much. Where does your confidence come from? Or is your IQ already outstanding in your Japanese country?" Li Hong hit Princess Dalai mercilessly.
"Hey, what do you mean? Am I wrong?" Princess Dalai had long since given up protesting that Li Hong called her your father when he spoke to her, and directly asked the key points, skipping the details.
"That's right or wrong. You can definitely look like a traveler. You can even follow the carriage for a short distance after entering Hangzhou, and then get on the carriage and rush here. 1: How does he know about my mansion? Although I have never kept it secret here. , but being able to find it easily means that he already knew I was here, right?" Li Hong asked, looking at Princess Dalai's dazzling eyes.
"So what?" Princess Dalai didn't understand the purpose of Li Hong's question, so she had no choice but to continue asking without answering.
"Two: Since he has time to prepare a handwritten letter, why does he have to go there again in person? Why?"
"Why?" Princess Dalai asked blankly.
"One, that's because the matter is serious and he really needs to come here, or as he said, this handwritten letter is to tell him what he wants to say smoothly when something unexpected happens to him. I."
"What's the second one? What's the purpose?" Princess Dalai was attracted by Li Hong's analysis and asked hurriedly, as if listening to a story.
"The handwritten letter arrived with the person, and together with the correspondence between him and the rebel minister Li Jingye, it means that he came to increase the authenticity of these letters and prove that the letters between Li Jingye and him were also Everything stated in his own handwritten letter is true," Li Hong said confidently.
But his logic was met with doubts from Princess Dalai, who said with some disbelief and disdain: "Really or not? If you say so, then wouldn't he be the one who fell into a trap?"
"I don't know. It's hard to judge his position right now. Therefore, his personal arrival may be a test to test the court's determination and strength in suppressing Li Jingye. Then he can weigh the two before making a decision. Which side should I go to? It may also be because Runzhou has felt the pressure from Li Jingye, so he came to ask for help. "
In the eyes of Princess Dalai, Li Hong's current appearance is nothing more than holding a goose feather fan in his hand. That way he looks more like Zhuge Wolong of Shu Kingdom.
"Then why don't you open these letters and read them?" Princess Dalai despised the confident Li Hong and continued to ask.
"You don't need to read it. The answers to the questions in the letters between him and Li Jingye can definitely be found in his own letters. And the answers to the questions in the letters he wrote to me can definitely be found in the letters between him and Li Jingye." I found the answer, so I don’t need to read these letters. The two letters together are thoughtful and seamless." Li Hong continued confidently.
"I don't believe it." Princess Dalai's eyes fell on a few letters on the desk. After thinking for a long time, she felt that Li Hong's judgment was too weird. How could it be like what he said.
Li Hong looked at Princess Dalai with a smile and said nothing, until Princess Dalai became a little panicked and started to avoid his eyes, then he looked elsewhere.
The little ones in Princess Dalai's heart are just like the evil nature of Japanese devils from ancient times to the present. They have extremely strong curiosity about prying into other people's privacy. And now Princess Dalai is showing this kind of virtue.
"If you don't believe me, you can try opening it and take a look." Li Hong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said lightly as Bai Chun led Chen Qinghan over.
Princess Dalai was hesitant and curious, looking at the letters, and then looking at Li Hong's calm and calm look, she doubted the letter and said: "Can you really open it and read it?"
"sure."
"Then I opened it?"
Li Hong directly answered her confirmation with silence, and then waved to Bai Chun and Chen Qinghan, who were standing far away, and asked them to come over.
Chen Qinghan has the unique gentleness and elegance of Jiangnan women and the characteristics of Xiaojiabiyu. Perhaps because of Chen Jingzhi's expectations of her, there is a bit more heroism between her eyebrows.
Her complexion is fair and tender, and she walks like a willow. She is full of the graceful posture unique to the south of the Yangtze River. Her facial features are exquisite, her eyes are big and energetic, her eyebrows are like willow leaves, her nose is pretty, and her mouth is like a cherry.
Looking at this pleasing girl, it is like seeing the charm of Jiangnan, ethereal, gentle, with a trace of poetic sadness and sadness.
In Li Hong's opinion, that trace of sadness and poetic melancholy ruined the artistic conception of the person in the painting, but presumably it had something to do with her father being imprisoned by Li Jingye. If not for this reason, this Chen Qinghan would also be a rare Beauty.
Li Hong took the letter from Chen Qinghan, flipped through a few letters at random, and put it on the desk. Then he looked up at Chen Qinghan and asked, "Your father once offended Yang Jikang because of the Yang Yue farm matter. The letters between Yang Zhirou and Li Jingye mentioned your father's evil deeds, which is obviously reasonable, so do you think it was because of this incident that they jointly framed your father? "
"Back to Your Highness, the little girl thinks this is the case. Because my father is unwilling to join them, they designed to frame my father." Chen Qinghan stood there, refusing to sit down, and said calmly.
"But..." Li Hongyang read another letter, then handed it to Chen Qinghan, and then said: "Yang Zhirou once proposed to your father, hoping to betroth you to Yang Jikang, and the letter in your hand also contains Doesn’t it mean that your father agreed to their marriage proposal?”
"This... is, Your Highness, my father did intend to agree to this marriage at first, but at that time, Yang Zhirou just wanted to win over my father through this method, and did not come here sincerely just to propose marriage. Later, because of Regarding Uncle Yang, and the fact that Yang Jikang's reputation in Hangzhou was not very good, I did not agree. My father also declined the marriage because of my disagreement. Therefore, because of these two things, Yang Zhirou felt resentful towards my father. I took it seriously, and cooperated with Li Jingye to frame my father, causing my father to suffer unjust injustice." When Chen Qinghan talked about her marriage, a blush of embarrassment appeared on her face involuntarily, which made her look even more beautiful. point.
Compared with the wild and heroic folk customs north of the Yangtze River, the Jiangnan area, which has never been ravaged by war, has still managed to maintain the Confucian unity since the Han Confucian culture.
Even during the Wuhu Rebellion in China, most of the literati followed the imperial court to the Jiangnan area. Even during the Southern and Northern Dynasties period in history, the Jiangnan area was divided by the princes' forces, but the Han Confucian culture was not destroyed. It has always been relatively strong. Better and more complete preservation.
So when Chen Qinghan, a young woman, talked about her previous marriage in front of a man, she couldn't help but look a little shy and embarrassed. The affairs of her daughter's family have always been the secret of their boudoir. But this is true for outsiders, and he is still a man.
But at this moment, firstly, because the man sitting across from her questioning her was the current Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, it was a matter of life and death related to her father's honor, so she couldn't care less about her embarrassment and shyness.
Li Hong also understood the shyness and embarrassment on Chen Qinghan's face, lowered his head and smiled silently, and looked through a few letters again. They were nothing more than some content about Yang Zhirou and Li Jingye persuading Chen Jingzhi, and later changed to blackmailing Chen Jingzhi, but as for the mention There is no such thing as rebellion.
This is normal. With Li Jingye and Yang Zhirou's many years of experience in the officialdom, it is impossible to easily describe a future grand plan to others and promise a high-ranking official a generous salary, unless this person has agreed to join them.
