Chapter 95 Slander(1/2)

There are many places in the Pear Garden, the Xiuling Gorge of Mount Li, the banks of Qujiang Pool, the east side of the Daming Palace, and the forbidden garden... The place where the saints are now located, where the silk and bamboo dance music is located is the Pear Garden.

During the sixth year of Tianbao, the pear blossoms in the Forbidden Garden bloomed very early.

The white petals hang on the branches like small snowballs, like snowflakes and catkins, but they are much more fragrant.

Walking through the patches of pear trees, the spring silkworm hall is conveniently located in front of it. The hall is brightly lit and matched with the scenery in the forbidden garden, it looks like a residence of a god.

When dusk was approaching, Li Longji was rehearsing singing and dancing himself.

He had a dream not long ago that a dragon girl in the Lingbo Pool in Luoyang asked him to give a song. He then composed "Lingbo Song" and is being rehearsed recently, so he moved here to avoid being bothered.

The beautiful songs sounded in the silkworm hall, Li Longji played the Jie drum, Yang Yuhuan played the pipa, Ma Xianqi played the jade flute, Li Guinian played the fish gust, Zhang Yehu played the guzheng, and He Huaizhi made the decision.

In the middle of the hall, a graceful girl named Xie Aman was dancing.

She was not covered with silk, her skirt was wrapped around her chest, showing her beautiful shoulders, her arms were covered with colorful yarn, and her feet were wearing Lingbo socks, which was "the jade tip was slightly exposed to produce spring red" and "the graceful color practices lightly and relaxed".

Yang Yuyao sat on the mat, eating dried fruit snacks, her eyes always followed Xie Aman, and an idea came to her mind.

She likes this little dancer very much. She has a beautiful figure and a well-behaved and obedient personality. She doesn't think she is jealous.

In other words, Jia Chang, the child of the divine chicken, was given a marriage to the emperor and married a dancer, which was a legend.

After a song and dance, Li Longji put down the Jie drum and smiled and said, "What do you think?"

At this time, Li Linfu came in and bowed and said, "I would like to ask the saint to have a good spring."

When Li Longji saw him, he immediately joked: "The right prime minister felt that I was distracted from playing with things, so Xue Bai played domino with me and was taken immediately?"

"I don't dare, I'm just investigating Li Shizhi..."

"You are here to meet, to say this?"

"I dare not disturb the saint's elegant delight." Li Linfu smiled and said, "I have not been able to serve the saint for too long, so please see me."

"Blame me?" Li Longji said cheerfully: "Who complained about the busy state affairs after the Lantern Festival and had to accompany the imperial banquet all night?"

Li Linfu did not hide his shock.

"I am guilty, but I am... I am indeed old, unlike the saints who are still in their prime."

When Li Longji heard this, he stopped beating and comforted him: "I have not blamed you. As the prime minister, you can handle state affairs for me. Others will do what you follow."

Upon hearing this, Gao Lishi wanted to go and issue an imperial edict, allowing Li Linfu to leave the palace at night.

"Sage, I can do it." Li Linfu smiled and said, "I have already taken care of state affairs and want to accompany the saints to learn dominoes."

Li Longji was in a good mood. He saw through his thoughts but did not point it out. He raised his hand and pointed at his nose, responding with a smile.

At this time, Xue Bai had arrived.

"The master of card is here!" Li Longji raised his arms, shook his long sleeves, turned around and walked to the card table with a cool look, "Come on."

The sound of silk and bamboo rose again.

The musicians continued to play music to add atmosphere to the game.

Under the candlesticks like stars, the dominoes on the table have been arranged.

Xue Bai was not polite, and he didn't have much nonsense to talk to Li Linfu, so he sat down at the card table.

Yang Yuyao and Yang Yuhuan sisters looked at each other and smiled. One put down the wine glass and the other put down the pipa. The palace maid helped to put together the hem of the skirt and walked forward. Xie Aman didn't have to dance anymore, but carried the dance skirt and came close behind Yang Yuyao.

Li Linfu was a little embarrassed and looked up. There was Gao Lishi standing behind the saint and Zhang Yunrong standing behind the imperial concubine. He had no choice but to stand behind Xue Bai.

As a dignified prime minister of a country, he could kill Xue Bai outside the palace, and he could only bend over and stand like a servant.

"I am worthy of being a dominomaker. Xue Bai is a kid with great skills and many tricks." Li Longji's movements are smooth, "There are so many changes, and he is really the only one who can play it."

"The saint is a true genius. Never have anyone ever seen to learn so quickly and fight so well."

Xue Bai said this ordinary flattery very sincerely.

Moreover, his words did not affect his playing cards at all. It was his turn. The cards had been played and he didn't wait for a breath.

Yang Yuhuan was a little slower, sometimes pinching her chin and thinking for a while, but her posture was so beautiful that it made people feel comfortable to see. She was willing to wait for her for a few breaths. Yang Yuyao's card skills were good, and she could also tell some interesting things while playing.

Everyone was very happy, but Li Linfu was hiding his worries and stood up uncomfortable.

"There has been a poem circulating in Chang'an City recently and is well written. When the old minister came, he heard a child singing it. Hundreds of thousands of families are like Go games..."

At the end, Li Linfu sang this poem.

This old man looked so energetic, but he didn't expect that he sang very well.

Li Longji was about to ask for a Hupao, but glanced at Yang Yuyao, knowing that she was almost betrayed, and she looked at her with her eyes and hummed a few words casually, personally giving Li Linfu a voice.

After singing, Li Linfu smiled and said, "I am a little curious. It is clearly a seven-character quatrain. Why is it so famous for its poetry?"

He took the opportunity to point out the poem.

Xue Baiying said: "I didn't know how to write poetry, and I felt very proud and named it like this. I think Wang Mojie is like this."

"Haha." Li Longji took the lead and sneered, pointed at Xue Bai and scolded: "If you don't learn and have a messy poem, you can even claim to be a work that should be produced."

"I'm already learning, and I'm following Du Zimei's aesthetics to write poetry." Xue Bai showed regret on his face and handed over the bargaining chips.

"I almost can do it." Yang Yuyao was quite unhappy, so she gave Xue Bai a look, and reluctantly handed over the chips.

Li Linfu glanced at him and found that the saint looked funny, as if he thought Xue Bai was very interesting. He realized that this son's saint was quite favored, so he had to say, "When talking about Du Fu, his recent "The Eight Immortals Song in Drinking" was also sung in Chang'an."

The musicians in the hall were superb, and they all changed the tunes they were playing, and they cooperated tacitly.

Li Longji seemed to like this poem quite a lot, and chanted in a low voice, "The Zuo Prime Minister spent tens of thousands of dollars" without any grudges.

In the eyes of others, it is easy to mistakenly believe that this saint did not know that Li Shizhi was investigated for the crime of joining the East Palace.

Xue Bai thought about it and realized that Li Longji knew in his heart that Li Shizhi had not rebelled, but was just using Li Linfu's hand to demote this royal family that was too high and close to the Eastern Palace from Chang'an.

In Li Longji's eyes, he did not think that this was persecution, and perhaps he also felt that the Tang Dynasty was sunny and beautiful. Any grievances from others should be paid for the stability of the emperor's prestige.

"The saint, Dali Temple captured Yuan Jie, Du Fu and others because they colluded with Li Shizhi, and the evidence was conclusive." Li Linfu seized the opportunity and explained, "Some officials were a little impatient and mistakenly involved Xue Bai."

He entered the palace to confirm the case and prevent Xue Bai from saving the leader with his greed words.

As for the word "mistake", he has made a step back, indicating that he will not violate the river water with Xue Baijing.

Unexpectedly, Xue Bai was actually tit-for-tat and said, "Right Prime Minister, how can Dali Temple be wrong? I must be a fellow party member of Li Shizhi."

"The prince is ruthless and dares to be sarcastic in front of the saint."

"The right prime minister asked someone to capture me, but I confessed my guilt. The right prime minister said that I was sarcastic. All the principles in the world were not allowed to be explained." Xue Bai's tone was not good, but he played the cards very quickly.

Li Linfu paid attention to his tone and said, "If an official made some mistake, would he be unreasonable?"

"That means we are wronged. It turns out that some people in the Wei Jian case were wronged."

Xue Baiwei said this sentence.

He knew what Li Linfu relied on - Li Longji's suspicion about the Eastern Palace.

To control the imperial court and eliminate dissidents, Li Linfu would let him go whenever he weakened the Eastern Palace, so even if the three thousand disciples shouted to break the sky, they could still be suppressed on the charge of "building the Eastern Palace".

But Xue Bai just wanted Li Longji to see with his own eyes how much selfishness there was.

Li Linfu was stunned and glanced at him. He saw the saint playing a card lightly, but he obviously heard this sentence.

He suddenly regretted going to the imperial court to argue with Xue Bai.

Even if the debate wins, the saint will think that he has not handled the state properly, but he still loses.

really.

Xue Bai pressed each other step by step and said, "It turns out that the right prime minister had known that Du Fu and Li Shizhi had colluded with each other. He knew that all the sons of Ke Buyi were Wei Jian's accomplices. I wonder if there were any wrongdoers?"

"It is fair to be honest in the court to be a scholar. This is because of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, no one hides talent and no one leaves any wise men."

"The right prime minister just now sang poems of the remaining wise men."

"Enough." Li Longji finally stopped Xue Bai, "At a young age, you are arguing about state affairs. Do you know your guilt?"

"The saint forgives my sins. I didn't want to discuss state affairs, but I was just worried that these talents in the spring exam would compete with me for ranking next year."

"I don't want to hear this."

Xue Bai immediately fell silent and played cards seriously. Anyway, Li Linfu said that there were no wise men, so he said that he was afraid that the wise men would grab the rankings, so he would be more sincere than who would.

Li Linfu felt even more shocked. Although the saint taught Xue Bai, he was actually dissatisfied with him.

He thought Xue Bai wanted to protect himself, so he could calm down the situation with Xue Bai in front of the saint.

But at this moment he suddenly realized that the person who was not going to give up was Xue Bai. This kid actually wanted to fight back against the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Tonight these words were all slander, which shakes the saint's trust in him...

~~

Dali Temple Prison.

Yang Zhao came at night and looked for a bunch of clothes under the torches.

"All here?"

"Yes, when the five people left the prison room, the villain stared at them and changed their clothes, and did not see them hiding anything."

Yang Zhao frowned. Since there was no blood in prison, it must be Xue Bai. Du Teng put it elsewhere before he arrived at Li Shizhi's house.
To be continued...
