Chapter 551 (2/2)

”How did he come here?” Li Hongqi said strangely, ”didn't you arrive in Hangzhou secretly? As soon as he knew that the two princes were coming to Hangzhou, didn't all the officials in Hangzhou know? ”

”Isn't it because you're here? Now on the official roads leading to Hangzhou, is it because of you that you have made all kinds of soldiers? The martial law around this area is obviously much more strict than before. In the past, soldiers only checked some suspicious carriages. Now, all the carriages, large and small, have to be checked. It's not because you are here that Li Chongyi in Hangzhou is terrified. What's wrong with him? ” Li Shangjin offered Li Hong Tea in person, and then said.”Did you meet Li Chongyi on your way to Hangzhou?” Li Hong hasn't seen Li Chongyi these days, so he doesn't know what Li Chongyi is busy with. However, the official road to and from Hangzhou is more strict than before. Obviously, it is against the surrounding Zhechong government, which is to guard against kuozhou and Yangzhou.

However, to his surprise, Li Chongyi went to the front to investigate by himself.

”More than 30 li away from Hangzhou City, we met Li Chongyi guarding the last post house in person. We had no time to escape, so we were known by him.” Li Sujie spread his hands and said helplessly.

”Don't let the others know, but he won't let us know.” Li Shangjin asked Li Hongdao.

”Well, come on. I haven't seen him for days. Even if other people know you're here, it's not a big deal.” Li Hong waved and said.

Then Li Hong looked at the two men, and then looked at the eunuchs who followed them. He was surprised and said, ”you two will not come here. Where is your sister-in-law? Are you all left in the fiefdom? ”

”Yes, of course they stayed in the fief. What are they doing here? It's not fun. But in fact, what are you asking us to come here for? ” Li Shangjin asked some knowingly, but it seemed that he couldn't believe that Li Hong would let the two of them mingle in the affairs of the court.

Li Hong sighed: ”what else can it be? What's going on in chaotang? Are you not clear about it? Yangzhou and kuozhou have been unstable for a long time. If you don't take care of it, you may become a greater disaster in the future. So when you have nothing to do, you can come to the south of the Yangtze River to have a look. Some of those who should be disciplined should be removed. Those who should be removed should be dismissed. We have lived a long time in peace and stability. We have been in the north But they lie on the merit books of their ancestors and enjoy their happiness. I am jealous

”Then you should be in Yangzhou. Why did you come to Hangzhou? Dare not stay in Yangzhou? ” Li Sujie has some doubts. It doesn't look like the old five's style.

”Li Chunfeng's huge ship can't enter Yangzhou. Qiantang River is the only place that can come in. So after staying in Yangzhou for one night, he continued to walk the waterway to get here. Let you two come here, hoping that you can help some Bai Chun when I'm not here.” Li Hong bowed his head and thought about it.

”Is Bai Chun here? So What about her? ” Li Shangjin raised his eyes and didn't see Bai Chun, who was like a fairy coming to the world, so he asked.

”Minister Li Chongyi met his royal highness, King Ze and King Xu.” Li Chongyi's voice came from the door.

”Come in.” Li Hong gave up answering Li Shangjin's words, looked at the respectful figure at the door and said.

Li Sujie looked at Li Chongyi who came in and immediately joked, ”Duke Qiao, I'm late today. I'll punish you for three cups of wine.”

Li Hong looked at Li Chongyi, but Li Shangjin looked at Li Chongyi and agreed with Li Sujie's words: ”yes, I thought you could come with us to meet the prince, but I didn't expect that you should be punished for letting the prince wait for you.”

Knowing that they were joking, Li Chongyi also made amends to Li Hong with a smile: ”please don't blame the minister. The minister has been out of the house for a long time, but he met Yang zhirou's son on the way. He said that he wanted to borrow some soldiers to help him, which delayed some time.”

”Yang zhirou?” Li Sujie and Li Shangjin asked in unison, but his eyes were looking at Li Hong.

Who didn't know that Yang zhirou was a servant of the Ministry of officials. Li Chongyi lent troops to Yang zhirou's son. He was a man without official rank and rank. This was against the law of the Tang Dynasty.

However, all those present know that this is always the case in officialdom. It's normal for officials to help each other, borrow personal information, break a siege, and put up a facade. This is not what Li Chongyi did alone. Other people are even more powerful than him.

This is also why Li Chongyi dared to tell the truth why he came late in the Tang Dynasty when the two princes were sitting.

Li Hong gave a silent smile and asked, ”did he say where to borrow troops? How many people did you borrow? But a helmet and armor? ”

Li Chongyi didn't find anything unusual on Li Hong's face, so he replied: ”back to your highness, borrowing soldiers is naturally a kind of helmet and armor. These noble sons and sons are attracted to the armor given to soldiers by the imperial court, so they begged to borrow it. If it's casual clothes, their own home will be enough to cope with things. So please don't worry, your highness, that the soldiers who are lent out, that is, to support his appearance and frighten those who are against him, will not really do anything harmful to nature. ”

”Yes, fifth brother, you know that although Zhechong mansion is still in existence, it is now the Treasury of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, these noble sons often borrow from me Tang soldiers to scare some refugees, or when they are fighting for power, they will use them to stand up and help them. The comparison is whose family background is deep and who is who Who can borrow more soldiers Li Sujie also laughed, explaining for the prince, who had lived in the palace for a long time and didn't know the trivial things in the world.”This How many years have it been? ” Li Hong is still silent, and even gives the three people an illusion of interest.
