The more it spread like this, the more evil it became. In the end, it was almost rumored that there was a ghost in Li's house.
That unjust ghost was the Yanzhi shop that was suddenly wiped out overnight. There were more than a dozen people who suddenly said that there would be no more. The culprit was the third son of the Li family, and that ghost came to demand his life.
When Li Miao got the news, he couldn't stop it if he wanted to stop it. Later, even the emperor knew about it.
called him into the palace.
— Royal Study Room.
"Li Aiqing, I heard that something has happened in your mansion recently?" Emperor Zong flipped through the memorial, with no trace on his face, but when he glanced at Li Miao from the corner of his eye, there was a hint of meaningful coldness.
Li Miao knelt there in fear, and said cautiously: "It is true that something happened, but it has been dealt with."
"Oh? But how did I hear that your third son is also missing?"
"It should be a misrepresentation." Li Miao shuddered, not knowing how the emperor knew. He asked Sheng'er to investigate in the past two days, but Qing'er seemed to have disappeared for no reason, and there was no trace at all. He was getting annoyed to death. If his mother found out, he didn't know how to make trouble! Originally, this was enough for him to worry about, but he didn't expect the matter to spread as soon as it was said, and the emperor even knew about it.
He was really afraid that the fire could not be contained in the paper. If the emperor knew what he did secretly for Qing'er back then, this... I'm afraid it would be difficult to handle.
"Yeah?"
Emperor Zong coolly put down the memorial in his hand, suddenly raised his hand, and threw an object next to Li Miao directly in front of Li Miao, the object hit Li Miao directly in front of his eyes with a clatter, and spread out, revealing the clear written handwriting.
Red letters on a white background, every word is shocking.
After only one glance, there was a chill on the back of the back, and he kowtowed his head suddenly: "The emperor, the emperor forgives the sin, the old minister is just...just..."
"Forget it." Emperor Zong leaned his body on the dragon chair expressionlessly, "I know you love your son dearly, but Li Aiqing, if this story of yours gets out, what will the people say? The right minister is so bullied Let me tell you, is my emperor also so incompetent? Huh?!"
Li Miao was completely stunned by the last word, and his head was deeply buried on the ground, and he didn't dare to lift it up.
The emperor actually knew, so how much does the emperor know
"Your Majesty, forgive me! This old minister really can't bear Aizi to be like this... that's why..."
"Forget it, I also know that it's not easy for you, Prime Minister, and it's been a long time since Ai Qing lost her beloved daughter a few days ago. I can't bear it, but what do you want me to do about this?"
"The emperor..."
Cold sweat dripped from Li Miao's forehead, "Veteran is willing to accept any punishment."
He also couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking. Logically speaking, the emperor should be angry, but the emperor's calm tone made him feel that there was still hope for him
"Punishment is unnecessary. After all, I have been grateful to you for your hard work these years, but, after all, I want to give an account to my ministers. If you can make up for your mistakes at this time, right minister, I can naturally offset this matter. Li Aiqing, What do you say?"
Li Miao's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
Emperor Zongxu glanced at Li Miao with squinted eyes, and the corner of his mouth raised a cruel arc, "Su Ge is old, but he is still working hard on the affairs of the court. I feel pity for him and want him to retire and return to his hometown."
Li Miao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately remembered that Su Ge and the old general strongly recommended the second prince as the prince not long ago.
My heart suddenly became like a mirror.
Nodded: "Yes, Mr. Su Ge is indeed old, and the old minister also has this idea."
"very good."
The smile on the corner of Emperor Zong's mouth deepened, "Then Li Aiqing go down."
"Yes, the old minister obeys the order!"
Li Miao stepped back and reached the door of the imperial study, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, the official uniform was already wet on the back. Looking back at the imperial study room, he felt that the water was in the clouds. All these years, he always felt that the emperor didn't care much about the affairs of the court and was obsessed with women. Standing out from many princes, and finally eradicating all opponents to take this position, how could one be soft-hearted. It's just that the emperor's self-cultivation and self-cultivation all these years made him forget that even if the emperor took away his sharp claws, it was still a ferocious beast.
Once someone violates his territory, he will show his claws again.
This time, I'm afraid he's going to attack Mr. Su Ge.
After Li Miao left, the eunuch next to Emperor Zong stepped forward, carefully replaced the cold tea, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why didn't you take this opportunity to break the right minister's wings?" After all this is a good chance.
"Hmph, it's useful to keep him for the time being." Emperor Zong's sharp eyes were cold and cold, with a hint of coldness, "He really thought that I didn't know what happened back then, but he just turned a blind eye .Then Li Ziqing is his lifeblood, if he is really desperate, there is no guarantee that he will not have a different heart."
"But this old slave heard that Prime Minister Right and the Third Prince..."
"I know. He is on the side of the third prince, but someone is on the side of the second prince. After all, there must be a balance point. If there is more or less, it will make me uncomfortable."
Whether it is the third prince or the second prince, he does not want to establish a prince now.
The throne he won so hard, before the time comes, if you want him to hand it over to someone else, it will still be tender!
Liu Jin instantly understood Emperor Zong's thoughts, and was startled, and his attitude became more respectful, "It's the old servant who is talking too much."
"Go down, tell the people in Anbu to get rid of all the rumors in the market, and... find out who is behind this incident." In front of him, it is obvious that someone is suppressing the Li family this time, so if the Li family collapses, the ones who will benefit will be...
Narrowing his eyes, Emperor Zong's eyes were cold and cold, it seemed that he had underestimated the ability of his second emperor.
— Yifeng Pavilion.
"Master, something went wrong." Qian Mian broke into Yifeng Pavilion suddenly, and reported to Lou Qingwu.
"Huh? What?"
"The rumors and rumors that were bad for the Li family in the past few days suddenly disappeared overnight, which is very strange."
"Huh?" Lou Qingwu raised her head, her eyes changed slightly, "Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know, maybe it's definitely not Li Miao. He doesn't have such great skills and connections." After all, the entire capital is so big, and the ability to calm down this matter so quickly must not be underestimated.
After hearing this, Lou Qingwu calmed down, her eyes darkened a lot, "Well, I see."
Qianmian saw that her expression was not right, and couldn't help asking: "Master, what's wrong?"
"I probably know who it is."
