Chapter 1709 (1/2)
Li Zhaode's family is full of high-ranking friends, who are either scholars or officials.
Li zhaodegao sat at the top of the table. This person offered a toast, and that person offered a toast. Wine and flattery entered each other's ears. Prime Minister Li was already drunk.
”Xianggong!”
Li Zhaode stroked his beard and took a pair of drunken eyes away from the dancing girls in the hall. He glanced at Yan Shansi, his good friend. He raised his glass and said with a smile: ”ha ha, Lao Yan, you are not good at drinking. Are you happy today? Come on, sit next to me and let's have a drink together.”
Yan Shansi is a right-handed man who collects and worships the relics. Although he is a close Minister of the emperor, his official position is not high. He is an admonitor, and he has little use in front of a powerful emperor like Wu Zetian. However, his talent and learning were very outstanding, he used allusions and learned a lot, so he had a good relationship with Li Zhaode.
Yan Shansi sat down beside Li Zhaode, but he was not busy drinking. Instead, he clung to his ears and whispered: ”Xianggong, Shansi heard that the imperial censor station had created a murder in Lingnan, killing more than 300 women and children. They also told the emperor that there was a rumor in the south of the five ridges that ”Liu was the one who took the place of martial arts”, which caused the emperor's great fear
Li Zhaode put up his hand to stop him. With a sneer, he said, ”it's needless to say that you are good at thinking. You already know.”
After sipping his wine, Li Zhaode said in a hateful voice: ”the Yushitai group have done the wrong and have lost their conscience. What they have done is really the common indignation of the people and the gods! The servant was furious when he heard about their evil deeds in Lingnan! But you don't have to worry. These cruel officials are full of evil. They are suing themselves. It depends on how long they will run wild if they fall down! ”
Yan Shansi worried and said, ”I'm afraid Lai Junchen will come back with such momentum. The emperor lived above the nine palace. It's up to others to tell us what the civil situation is like. The emperor has always been a bit alarmed about conspiracy. Now Wan Guojun's rendering of Lingnan seems to be full of anti thieves. It's hard to guarantee that the emperor won't use him again. ”
Li Zhaode said with a proud smile, ”so what? The Phoenix without hair is not as good as the chicken. Do you think today's Junchen still has the prestige of the past? Hum! The more unjust cases they create in all parts of the world, the more people's grievances they will have. It's just that they have come here to settle their grievances in Tongzhou. If he comes back, he'll be able to do it all by then
Yan Shansi frowned and said, ”my husband should not be careless. I'm afraid he might play with fire.”
Li Zhaode was a little unhappy and said, ”I'll think about it myself.”
Yan Shansi saw this. I had to keep my mouth shut.
Li Zhaode's residence is located in lidefang, which is surrounded by water. Yang Fan comes out of the Imperial City, goes northward along the Long embankment of the Luo river, turns a bridge and enters into lidefang.
Li Zhaode's mansion was rebuilt after he became the ”chief writer”, which is a huge one. The gate is wide and the momentum is extraordinary. Just enter the lidefang and ask a little. No, I don't know where Li Fu is.
On the way, Yang Fan was stopped by Princess Taiping. Although he still insisted on coming to Li's house, he was more calm and not as angry as the beginning. When he got to Li's house, he saw a lot of cars and horses parked in front of the door. Yang Fan didn't speak to anyone. He just tied the horse to the stake, stepped up the steps, grabbed the bronze ring of the animal's head, and knocked on the door.
”Tong Tong!”
Yang Fan knocked hard. After a few loud noises, someone behind the door cried out unhappily: ”who is that! Can you afford to break our gate with such great strength? ”
With the sound, the door opened and a very impatient face appeared. He looked up and down at Yang Fan. He was young and dressed in ordinary clothes. He didn't look like a powerful family. He looked even more arrogant. He lazily held out a hand and said, ”take it!”
Yang Fan said in a deep voice, ”what do you bring?”
The man would cover the door without saying a word. Yang Fan stretched out his hand and said, ”what are you doing?”
The man glared and said, ”you don't even have a post. Do you want to visit my house? This is the prime minister's residence. Do you think it's a small family? I don't even want to see my family even though I don't have a post. How unreasonable! Get out of here, or I'll send you to the Yamen to eat the board! ”
Instead of anger, Yang Fan laughed and said, ”the seven grade official in front of the prime minister's door, so it is. However, I'm the fifth grade official of the current Dynasty, and the division of the Ministry of punishment is normal. Your ”seven grades” are not enough. Get out of the way! ”
When Yang Fan pushed the door, the two doors opened. The door was pushed by the door and fell into a gourd. Yang Fan stepped in. The servants, bodyguards and grooms who were waiting in front of the door all looked silly.
