Being driven back to one's hometown is never a good thing.
Li Shao has always been the best among Emperor Longqing's nephews. Compared with Yuan Hongwen and others, it's okay if he is not good, not to mention that he is really good.
I originally thought that no matter how big the incident was, Emperor Longqing would always show leniency for my mother's sake.
But this time, it was not until they had already left the capital that he realized that it was not the case - the emperor is the emperor. When he asks you to make friends with your cousin, he treats you as his eldest nephew. But when he treats himself as the emperor, even if you get your head broken, he will not let you go just because of your status as his nephew.
Fortunately, he was rushing back to his hometown to study. The housekeeper carefully advised him: "Master, at least eat something first. It's been a bumpy journey. If you get sick, it will be terrible."
The journey was long, and Emperor Longqing stipulated that he must arrive within a month, and also prohibited officials along the way from receiving visits. This time the journey was not easy.
Li Shao stared gloomily at the slightly cloudy sky and waved his hand heavily: "No need, hurry up and get going."
If we don't reach Nanjing within a month, who knows what stories those censors will make up.
People's words are scary... ..
He originally wanted to use this to kill Wei An, but he didn't expect that he would fail at this point.
But he still couldn't figure it out. Could it be such a coincidence that the old-fashioned Censor really overheard what his brother-in-law He Zhizhou said while they were drinking tea, and then went to complain because of Jiuyuan
He didn't believe that this man was really old-fashioned. How could a really old-fashioned person not know that the relationships in officialdom are complicated and one thing after another is linked to another
But to say that he is not really old-fashioned is to say that he is too shrewd.
He calculated that Emperor Longqing would not be angry because he was reporting to Princess Changying's mansion...
Although he was smart, his experience was limited. He tried to think more about the situation in the court, but he was confused. He leaned back against the wall of the car and slowly let out a breath after a long time.
All the affection accumulated over the years was lost in one day.
My mother and sister stayed in the capital...
They are not the kind of people who can tolerate it... If something happens again and there is no one around to help them plan, who knows what will happen...
He sighed, knowing that his dream of becoming the Crown Prince Chu Jingxing's consort would never come true, and closed his eyes with a headache.
Just as he closed his eyes, the car jolted violently, and he lost his balance. If he had not been quick to grab the handle nailed on the top of the car, he would have nearly fallen into the car.
"What's going on?!" He couldn't hold back his temper any longer: "Are they all dead?!"
After a long while, he could no longer hold back and lifted the curtain. The steward came over hesitantly and handed him a letter: "Master, someone is blocking the road ahead. Let me give this to you..."
Li Shao took a quick glance and took it, frowned and asked, "Where is the person?"
The steward hurriedly asked someone to bring the person over, and at the same time looked at Li Shao worriedly: "Young Master, nothing can happen to this spine. Even if we have something serious, we should return to Jinling first."
Li Shao glanced at him and had already opened the letter and was reading ten lines at a glance.
There was no signature on the letter, but it contained He Zhizhou's resume and life story. Only then did he know that He Zhizhou was actually the son of a former retainer of the old Marquis of Dingbei!
The whole family was engaged in fighting with weapons, but there was only one civil official like him.
Li Shao is a smart man. One shortcoming of smart people is that they think too much.
Anything else would be fine, but the four words "Dingbei Marquis Mansion" were like a knife, stabbing quickly, accurately and ruthlessly into his heart.
He finally understood. How could such a coincidence happen in this world
It was obvious that He Zhizhou deliberately set him up and worked together with the Wei family to frame him.
Then, a Censor who had an old grudge against the Li family of Nanjing was brought in to file a complaint.
But because of this, He Zhizhou himself also lost money...
After all, he accepted the invitation from the Li family and really suppressed the matter.
Emperor Longqing would not have been so angry if the matter had not been suppressed.
What really made Emperor Longqing furious was that the Nanjing Li family could really influence the court officials to handle cases, right
"Where is the person?" He received the letter and asked anxiously, "Where is the person who delivered the letter?"
The steward hurried out to ask again, but came back with a frown: "Master, the person is missing..."
He also had an ugly look on his face. This man was elusive and showed up late at night without even letting anyone see his face clearly. It was really creepy.
Li Shao couldn't help but lose his temper: "A bunch of rubbish!"
But he didn't bring many people with him when he left the city, and they had to protect him, so they basically took turns to rest. Today, it was so late and there was no place to stay, so how could they spare the attention to keep an eye on a messenger.
The steward lowered his head. He showed no emotion even after being scolded. Instead, he asked him, "Master, what exactly is written in this letter?"
Li Shao closed his eyes and looked at him for a long time: "Write a letter home and ask them to help me check He Wenyuan's resume and life. It should be detailed, the more detailed the better."
The steward's eyelids twitched, and he hesitated: "Master, at this time, it is better for us to have less trouble than more..."
At this point, what’s the point of investigating He Wenyuan
Emperor Longqing's words were golden, so there would be no change just because of He Wenyuan.
Don’t make Emperor Longqing angry, or your family will be in trouble.
Li Shao scolded in a low voice: "Idiot! If you don't ask clearly, you will die without knowing it! Go!"
If He Wenyuan is really from the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, then this is simply a counter-espionage plot by the Wei family. In this case, what will happen to his mother and sister who are left in the capital
Seeing that the feud was set, they wanted to kill the Wei family, and the Wei family also wanted to kill them, even resorting to such a strategy. If he really left the capital...
But no one knows where the person who sent the letter came from.
Why send him a letter
He was confused and puzzled, and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
For a moment, I had some wild thoughts. What if... this letter was just someone else's deliberate provocation
If only I could find the person who delivered the letter...
There is also the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. If it is really the Dingbei Marquis Mansion that has plotted against them, then of course they cannot touch the Dingbei Marquis Mansion for now. But can they just let them continue to be so arrogant
The sky was getting darker and darker. The manager looked up and replied in a low voice, "Yes." He then asked the driver to speed up. The road would be even more difficult to travel because the autumn rain would bring a chill. When it started to rain, we would be cold, hungry and sleepy.
When he arrived at the post station, he still found a safe way to send the letter back to Beijing first.
