Chapter 63 (1/2)
Li Zhi slowed down two steps and listened to Li Hong's back. Suddenly, he asked, ”has the murderer of Liang Jianfang been found?”
Li Hong turned back and looked at Lizhi. His face was covered with a smile. Under the light of the palace lamp, his face was covered with a layer of light: ”I found it.”
”Can you live?” Li Zhi asked for no reason.
Li Hong glanced at them. Several people who were not far away from their father and son came to Li Zhi and said, ”father, what would you do if you did?”
Li Zhi sighed and said, ”yes, as the crown prince, if you can't take care of your servants, how can you expect others to work for you? Rewards and punishments have a certain degree. Naturally, punishment should be punished. For the sake of following my father for more than ten years, we must make good use of it. How about? ”
Li Hong thought in his heart: how could his father be so generous? If he let himself punish the murderer, would it not have chilled the hearts of others? Or is the father making some wrong ideas?
”Myth” failed to trace the murderer of Liang Jianfang and found the real perpetrator, but he could not be punished according to the law.
”Yes, father.” No matter what his father's idea was, Li Hong knew that he could only compromise.
”Good. My father believes you After Li Zhi finished, he walked forward slowly. Yang, the eunuch close to him, stood still with Xia Zhi and others, as if he didn't see Lizhi's disappearing figure.
”I beg your highness.” Yang Wu went to Li Hong and knelt down and said.
”Get up first. You have heard what my father said just now. You can avoid death, but you can't escape living crime. Killing Liang Jianfang could not have been investigated, but you are too cruel. No one knows Liang Jianfang's miserable appearance better than you? ” Li Hong looked at Yang Wu, who could make ”myth” blocked.
”I know my sin, and I will pay for my life with my life without complaint.” Yang Wu kowtowed to Li Hong.
This is the victim of the political struggle, whether it is Liang Jianfang who died in vain, or Yang Wu, who is kneeling in front of him. In the end, those who are close to the upper level are often those who are close to each other.
The superior can compromise and give way to each other in the struggle, and they are the mediators that can be used to sacrifice and balance the struggle between the two sides.
Li Hong looked at the guards of qianniuwei in the Imperial Palace, beckoned a bodyguard to come over, looked at the horizontal knife on his waist, and then stretched out his hand to slowly pull out the scabbard of the sword.
”Over the years, when I was in the palace, I also pocketed you a lot of silver, which can offset some crimes. Yang Wu, I want to ask you something. Are you left-handed or right-handed? ” Li Hong holds a horizontal knife and paddles back and forth on the bluestone board. The blade tip rubs the bluestone board and makes a soft sound.
”You can use both your left and right hands flexibly. There is no convenient or inconvenient hand.” Yang Wu's tone is calm and calm. Looking at Li Hong's bright white horizontal knife in his hand, the blade flickers with a chilling air.
”You are my father's servant. If I really kill you, I'm sure my father will find a chance to clean me up. I'm afraid it's necessary to be punished. Well, chop off a finger by yourself. I can also have an account with Liang Jianfang. How about it? ” Li Hong generously handed the horizontal knife to Yang Wu, and took a white silk handkerchief from Xiazhi to Yangwu.
Yang Wu respectfully took the knife with both hands, carefully placed it on the knees of both knees, and then took the silk handkerchief handed over by Li Hong again.
After wiping the blade with a silk handkerchief, she wiped it back and forth several times. Then she wrapped her left hand with a silk handkerchief, except for the four fingers of her thumb. She kowtowed to Li Hong and said, ”thank you, your highness, for not killing me.”
The blade of the knife slowly crossed the four fingers covered with the silk handkerchief, and the blood flowed into the open plum blossom in the snow at night, slowly oozing on the white silk handkerchief.
Li Hong turned around and didn't look at Yang Wu and said, ”wrapped in silk handkerchief and buried with Liang Jianfang's body, it's a lonely confession to him and his family.”
Yang Wu looked at the body shape of the prince who had left. In his right hand, he held a new silk handkerchief handed by the summer solstice, and tightly covered his left thumb. The pain of ten fingers still made Yang Wu's face look distorted.
With the help of qianniuwei's bodyguard, Yang Wu rushed to Li Zhi's study.
”To my surprise, the boy who will report back to you didn't kill you. Did you say anything? ” Li Zhi looked at Yang Wu, who was respectfully standing in front of his desk. He asked with a silk handkerchief on his left hand.
”Return to your highness, the prince said that if you want the life of your servant, I'm afraid your majesty will find a chance to deal with him, for fear that you will beat him.” Yang Wu replied truthfully.
Li Zhi chuckled: ”he has a good idea. I'm afraid I'll beat him up! He can take all the good things in the world! In the early days of tomorrow, Du Zhenglun, Cui Zhiwen and Gao Zhizhou, a senior official of the imperial historian, will join forces to play on the ceremony, and the Crown Prince Li Hong will be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu
”Yes, my servant.” Yang Wu said in a respectful voice.
