Chapter 538 (1/2)

At the dinner party, Li Hong always looked as if he was in a good mood. The secret confrontation with Li Jingye did not affect him at all. On the contrary, during the banquet, he always praised Li Jingye as a loyal minister of the first emperor, who helped Li Jingye out of the encirclement. Peiyan was struggling on the verge of death and framed his loyal officials and generals. He deserved more than his death.

After a short period of discomfort, Li Jingye gave up further speculation and learned about Li Hong through communication. He found that Li Hong was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

He has always taken Li Xian, king of Pei, as the standard to understand and speculate on Prince Li Hong. Now, it is obvious for him to make another plan. For his royal highness, Jiangnan, he should carefully re estimate.

After the banquet, Li Jingye invited the celebrities of the boat and Luo Binwang, but they were left in ManJiang garden by Li Hong, while Li Jingye and Du Qiuren were sent home.

The excuse is that I have been on the road these days and I am tired. I want to have a rest earlier.

Li Jingye is confused with Du Qiuren and other monks in law. Since they are tired, they still leave behind those Huakui celebrities with a beautiful Bai Chun beside them. What should they do with them?

But they did not dare to ask such questions again, especially Li Jingye. He found that his understanding of Li Hong was even more vague at the end of the night. It was not as clear as when he had not seen him.

After Li Jingye and others left, another hall was cleared up. At this time, the lights were bright again. The remaining Huakui would sing and dance for his royal highness.

Bai Chun is sitting on Li Hong's side, but Luo Binwang is sitting on the other side. With the sound of the zither playing, the lawless guard at the door can only see the prince and Luo Binwang's lips moving. As for what they say, they can't hear clearly.

”What's up? I've been here for half a year, but I'm used to it? ” Looking at the white pure slender jade fingers flying, the fragrance of tea will slowly overflow between the jade fingers.

”Back to your highness, Li Jingye has no trust or distrust to his ministers. I can't see that he deliberate to discuss affairs behind my back. However, all the contents of the meeting that I attended were ordinary things, and there was no important content.” Luo Binwang looks a little gloomy, light said.

”No hurry, take your time. I think he will come to you tomorrow. However, I have to ask you again about my situation in Anxi, just as he asked you when you first came to Yangzhou. However, you must remember that you should not be smart to win his trust because of my arrival. Understand? ” Li Hong looked at the young woman holding a lute and sang in a clear voice, ”if you look at a horse for a long time, the water will be flat and the ox will sink.”.

”Yes, your highness, I understand that you must not rush for success, lest he find something unusual. I should try my best to please your highness. Only in this way can I meet the mentality of a courtier who wants to be on the top and want to take a step closer to his official career.” Luo Binwang nodded and indicated clearly.

Of course, he understood why his royal highness said so, because he was afraid that he would slander the prince in front of Li Jingye in order to win Li Jingye's trust.

When his royal highness arrives, Li Jingye will only doubt his real motive. Only by catering to the prince as much as possible can Li Jingye feel that he is not the prince.

What's more, since he arrived in Yangzhou, he has been talking about Wang Bo as a member of Prince Pei's residence. On the surface, Li Jingye has expressed his dissatisfaction with the prince.

After all, as the four outstanding scribes in Chang'an, King Pei obviously exhausted his mind for Wang Bo. However, he had been fighting Anxi with his Royal Highness for many years, but his highness had left him in Yangzhou to make a small master's book. He should have been upset.

”Is Chen Jingzhi dead or not now?” Li Hong asked, holding a teacup in front of his lips.

”Back to your highness, not yet. At this time, he was detained in the big prison. He started to be detained before the Yuan Dynasty. He was charged with conspiring against Peiyan. He was the scapegoat when you came over and charged him.” Luo Binwang said in a low voice.

”Why not? He didn't know that if I were to interrogate myself, all his plans would be in vain? Or is he something else? ” Li Hong asked in doubt.

Chen Jingzhi was a former official of Yangzhou. After the Peiyan incident, he was detained on the charge of secretly colluding with Peiyan to conspire against him. Later, he supported Du Qiuren to be the governor of Yangzhou.

”I don't know. I thought he would take the initiative to mention this matter with you today, but I didn't mention it to you today. This is what I didn't expect.”

”Zheng Jingxuan, governor of kuozhou, had contacts with him. Did you ever know that?”
