Chapter 542
Li Linfu hurriedly held his chest and said goodbye, planning to ask a doctor to take a good look at it after returning home.

The doctor who came to see him now should be someone arranged by King Hejian, he thought to himself.Today, I clearly fell into his trap!

Unexpectedly, he actually left, and the saint's face became even uglier.

Turning his head again, he saw that King Hejian was still kneeling down firmly. The saint couldn't help venting his anger on him: "He's gone, why are you still here?"

"Saint, you haven't given your brother an answer on this matter." Hejian County King said.

The sage was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered what Hejian County King said when he just entered the door, and he had a headache for a while.

"Thirteen Lang, haven't you seen what happened just now? The son of the housekeeper in Li Zhongshu's house molested the cook in your house and was disrespectful to you. It is true that he is not strict with his orders. You can't beat him. Just hit it. Now, Li Zhongshu won't pursue this matter, and I won't pursue it anymore, isn't it okay?"

"No! Then what about the fact that he fabricated evidence to frame Governor Cui? He also harmed the affairs of many people around the prince? Don't you plan to take care of these saints?"

"Thirteen Lang!" The saint couldn't help but lower his face, "This is an important matter of the imperial court's military affairs, how can you intervene at will?"

"If it's something else, my younger brother will naturally not criticize it at will. However, Li Linfu has really gone too far! Many meritorious ministers in Monan and Mobei have been killed by him. He is not satisfied, and now he is using the devil's claws. It reached out to Cui Liu again! Others don’t know who Cui Liu is, don’t you know, the sage? He is a descendant of the Cui family of Boling Confrontation. Seeing the unstoppable invasion of the Hu people to the south, the Cui clan of Boling refused to submit to the iron hooves of the Hu people, and the whole family died in the sea. Such a family, such a strong character, how could they raise a defector? The Tang Dynasty, and the children who surrendered to the Hu people?"

"Not to mention, Cui Liu and his wife are extremely conceited people. Let them collude with barbarians to make trouble. Can you think about it for yourself? Also, the Cui clan of Boling is still in Chang'an. The two of them The little lady is also the county head of the saint you personally appointed. They already have such a good treatment, and they are full, so they think of leaving all this and go to the barbarians to drink blood? How much love does their family have? You know what to eat, wear, and have fun! How can the Turkic Empire be as vast as my New Tang Dynasty? They didn’t even finish the food here, so how could they spend the rest of their lives eating beef and mutton in the Turkic? Cui Liu’s wife’s body Not good, she can’t eat much meat and mutton, is she looking for trouble for herself by defecting to Turkic?”

The last few words made the saint burst out laughing.

"You, you, you still said that you are not speaking for them!"

"Chendi has been with them for nearly ten years, so he naturally has feelings for them. But it is precisely because he knows what kind of people their husband and wife are, so when he learned that Li Zhongshu had presented evidence of their affair with Turks , the younger brother thought it was ridiculous. Furthermore, considering that Li Zhongshu found all kinds of courtiers who colluded with others and corrupted Chaogang before, it is not difficult to imagine that many of them should be wronged, right? It is a pity that the younger brother and them I am not familiar with him, so I don’t know the authenticity of the evidence. But from the matter of Mr. Cui Liulang, I can be sure that he is fabricating evidence! That’s why I am filled with righteous indignation, and I can’t help but give him to him when I see him from a distance Hit." Hejian County King said, still indignant.

The saint listened, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"What you said makes a lot of sense. Although this little Cui Aiqing has a bit of an extreme temper, since he entered the officialdom, he has been diligently doing practical things for my new Tang Dynasty. He was in Yangzhou before. , Hangzhou is for the well-being of the people, and now going to Liangzhou has greatly improved the overall quality of the army. It is said that such people will collude with the Turkic rebellion, but I don’t believe it.”

But why did he still listen to Li Linfu in the first place?

It's just because Li Linfu said that Cui Pu looked down on Concubine Yang, and Cui Pu and An Lushan confronted each other in public. Concubine Yang Gui, who was full of praise for Mu Jiaojiao, also gradually stopped mentioning them.

Has anyone ever talked about the benefits of Cui Pu? After a long time, Cui Pu's bright image before has been blurred in his heart, and now there is only a domineering and overly self-imprint left.So when he heard Li Linfu talk about his actions on the battlefield, he was inevitably angry. He always felt that this person was useless, and he was becoming more and more arrogant!Li Linfu took advantage of the opportunity to give evidence of Cui Pu's collusion with the Turks, and presented a few witnesses, and he believed it.

These movements, step by step, steady and steady, were accumulated in his heart little by little, and they were all done by Li Linfu!

And myself, almost really listened to his words, and wanted to capture Cui Pu back for questioning!

It was so dangerous, so dangerous, he almost misjudged a good soldier who had sacrificed a lot for the country and the people!

Hearing what he said, the aggressive aura of Prince Hejian immediately disappeared.

He hurriedly kowtowed: "Today's matter, I was too impatient. Saint, you are right. My minister just likes Cui Liu's family and doesn't want them to suffer any grievances. I have a lot of love for the saint and Li Zhongshu today. If you offend me, I will reflect behind closed doors after I go back. Now, please don’t be as knowledgeable as my brother, the sage, and I will come to Li Zhongshu to plead guilty when I turn back."

"Why are you guilty? He is the one who is guilty!" the saint shouted immediately.

King Hejian raised his head in surprise, and the saint said to him softly: "Speaking of which, I still need to thank you. If you hadn't come forward in time and corrected my views, I'm afraid I would really be wrong Little Cui Aiqing! You did the right thing, and you have the style of admonishing ministers. I am very pleased to have a brother like you by my side. You don’t have to ask Li Zhongshu for your sins. You are not guilty, but you still have merit!"

As he said that, he told Gao Lishi: "Hurry up and help the county king up and give him a seat!"

Gao Lishi hurried forward to help Hejian County King up, and placed him on the couch beside him.

King Hejian knelt for a long time, his legs became numb, and his face began to turn slightly pale.But even so, he didn't cry out.If Gao Lishi hadn't helped him up, the sage would not have known that he was in such pain.

Seeing this, the saint felt a little guilty again.

Quickly comforted him with a soft voice, and then stayed with him for dinner. During the meal, the sage asked some things about his time with Cui Pu's family. The sage laughed loudly at the situation of a little devil who was lawless: "Indeed, this couple is not a good thing, and the children they gave birth to will naturally become more lawless! This family is so unique, it is amazing." I don't like it, I don't hate it, really... I don't know what to do with them!"

Concubine Yang Guifei watched from the side, secretly astonished in her heart - after these years, through the joint efforts of Li Linfu and An Lushan, Cui Pu and his wife's goodwill in the hearts of the saints has almost been wiped out.But they never thought that a Hejian County King would be born out of nowhere, and the saint's love for them would be rekindled in just one afternoon.Moreover, from the worst impression, he returned to the peak diner all of a sudden.I'm afraid that if they want to destroy their image in the saint's heart in the future, this matter will be even more difficult.

This Hejian County King turned out to be far more than just looking good.His heart is also exquisitely carved!

After dinner, King Hejian declined the saint's suggestion to let him stay overnight in the palace, and got up to leave.

The sage then turned around and sighed to Concubine Yang, "Tell me, Thirteen Lang, how should we evaluate him?"

"The king of Hejian County is very intelligent and sees everything in the world very clearly. It's just that he didn't bother to intervene in the matter because it didn't concern him. It's just that he watched the young gentlemen and young ladies in Cui Jieshi's house with his own eyes. Born and raised, those children are almost his own grandchildren in his heart, right? Seeing that his grandchildren are going to be in trouble, he naturally couldn't sit still, so he jumped out quickly. But...his behavior is still It's too irritable, and it's too far from his usual behavior." Yang Guifei said softly.

"Yeah, Thirteen Lang has always kept his ears to the outside world, and he didn't even care much about many things about himself. But this time, he was forced to beat the prime minister of a country in public. It can be seen that he was really anxious. I can't even care about decency." Speaking of the matter of King Hejian beating Li Linfu at the gate of the palace, the sage no longer felt angry, only amused.

Concubine Yang Gui also laughed a few times.At the end, she asked in a low voice: "Then, how do you plan to end this matter now, Saint?"

"Hey!" The saint sighed again, "Let's wait and see! I was dizzy from their arguing today, so I'll talk about it tomorrow."

As a result, the next day, he heard someone report that Li Linfu felt refreshed after returning home, and he even called a few of his confidants to discuss matters until midnight!There is no such thing as sweating profusely and suffering in the palace.

It is said that he also invited several doctors to go back to see him. The doctors did say that the condition was very serious and prescribed a lot of good medicines.But ask the imperial physician to take a look... Well, they are all flashy tonics, and they were originally developed for the emperor to see!

The Hejian County King returned to his mansion after leaving the palace gate, kept the gate closed and did not communicate with anyone, and he did not even write a letter to Cui Pu and his wife.

In other words, he really wanted to complain about the young couple, and he just wanted to complain about them.It has nothing to do with Cui Pu and his wife, they don't even know about it!

"Since that's the case, I know it well." The saint sneered for a while, and ordered Gao Lishi to call Zhongshu Sheren to draft the imperial edict.

A few days later, the imperial decree was issued, and Zhongshu ordered Li Linfu to be old and frail and unable to take up many official positions, so he was sent home to recuperate for half a month, and then ordered Taifu Qing Yang Zhao to share the labor for him; That day, he suddenly fell ill at the gate of the palace. It was really pitiful. He sent ten carts of supplements, silk and silk to comfort him; One year, as a warning to others.

"It's only a one-year salary penalty? I thought they would directly demote my official position! I was already prepared!" Holding the imperial decree, Cui Pu couldn't believe his eyes.

Mu Jiaojiao was looking at the letters sent from Chang'an, gently rubbing the rows of small letters with his fingertips: "All this should be the credit of Hejian County King!"

The surprise on Cui Pu's face disappeared instantly.

"Who asked him to help? It's just a small punishment. At worst, he will be dismissed as a civilian. The worst thing is to be exiled to Lingnan. It's not that I haven't been to that place, and how many old acquaintances I have there! If I go there, I can live more comfortably than here!" He yelled dissatisfied.

"Then can you let go of the days where gold and iron horses are here, and barbarians are like melons?" Mu Jiaojiao only asked.

"I can't let it go." Cui Pu shook his head quickly.

Mu Jiaojiao rolled his eyes at him. "In that case, why are you screaming? He really did us a big favor this time."

Cui Pu bowed his head helplessly. "You're right. He helped us in a timely manner this time. Not only did he help us, but he also cheated Li Linfu severely. By the way, he sold himself a pity. But... Li Linfu went down, and Concubine Yang's elder brother came back again. Get up, do you think this is a good thing?"

"No." Mu Jiaojiao immediately shook his head.
