Chapter 687 There is Gao Qingtian in Kaifeng
"Qingzhao, what do you mean by that?"

Facing his daughter's gaze, Li Gefei's expression was slightly gloomy, always feeling that the child had something to say.

Li Qingzhao did not answer. He packed up the twenty chess pieces and placed them neatly on one side of the chessboard. Then he put the reward stickers, that is, the basin for the chips on the other side. He got up and went to the bookshelf, and took a set of "Luoyang Name "Garden Notes" come here.

Li Gefei was attracted to the scroll, showing emotion as he stroked the scroll.

This set of "Luoyang Famous Gardens" was compiled by him six years ago. It specifically records the gardens and terraces built by the court dignitaries and dignitaries, and reprimands them for their increasingly corrupt and extravagant.

This behavior is too offensive. Li Gefei recorded all of them when dignitaries built mansions and famous gardens, expressing his concern about the increasing corruption of the imperial court. If something really happened in the future, wouldn’t this put those people on the pillar of shame?
It is precisely because of this that he, a person who has been known for a long time, is an official and conscientious, is still a member of the Ministry of Rites with no real power, and it is very difficult to keep his official position, let alone go further.

Li Gefei has no intention of regretting it, whether it is editing "Luoyang Famous Gardens", or abolishing the mother-killing and fainting king at this time, and helping the king of Jian to take the throne, it is the same.

Seeing the determination in his father's eyebrows, Li Qingzhao got the answer completely, and sighed: "There are words in "Mencius", but I don't shrink back. carry on."

"And my father warned me that when things happen, regardless of the consequences, blindly giving up your life, that is the courage of the flesh and the courage of a man."

"The courage of a gentleman is great courage, and it can also be called the courage of righteousness and reason. When encountering things, one should make a decision and act, follow the way, and when it is duty-bound, one should have no hesitation. When you live, you live, and when you die, you die..."

"Not bad!"

Li Gefei stroked his beard and agreed, but looked at his daughter and frowned again, feeling incredible: "Qingzhao, do you...?"

Only then did Li Qingzhao point out: "Father wants to abolish the official family and support a new monarch, why bother to hide it from the family? If this matter fails, mother, me, younger brother, and Li's relatives, who can escape?"

Li Gefei's eyes suddenly fluctuated. For the righteousness in his heart, even if he died, he would never complain. Will not lose!"

Li Qingzhao smiled bitterly: "Then how do I know?"

Li Gefei also wanted to ask: "Where did you find out about our plan?"

Li Qingzhao tentatively said: "If I say that a raccoon slave who has become a spirit told you..."

Speaking of this, seeing Li Gefei frowning, she immediately continued smoothly: "Father must not believe it!"

Li Gefei's face became ugly. If it was his son Li Hui, the cane might have been used: "Qingzhao, this matter has a lot to do with it. If the secret is leaked in advance, the consequences will be disastrous. Don't joke, tell my father how you know ?”

In order to further persuade Li Qingzhao, he took out the letter: "Father, please read."

Li Gefei couldn't wait to take it, and read it several times: "Is this written by a young child? The paper and ink used are similar to my family's? The person who wrote the letter was extremely cautious in order not to expose himself!"

The corners of Li Qingzhao's mouth curled up slightly, and he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. He said in a low voice, "At least this one doesn't mean anything malicious, otherwise our whole family would have been imprisoned..."

Li Gefei's body trembled: "In this way, the news is really leaked, His Royal Highness Jian Wang is in danger!"

Li Qingzhao immediately said: "Forgive my daughter for being selfish, the matter has come to an end, please father to protect himself, not to be brave like a man!"

Li Gefei's complexion changed, and he shook his head slowly: "There is no turning back when you open the bow. The old man has already participated in this matter. Even if you stay behind closed doors, how can you be lucky? The only way to save you is to abolish meritorious deeds, King Jian Enthroned!"

Li Qingzhao sighed secretly, but did not give up hope, and continued to ask: "Father, is this caused by the eunuchs in the palace?"

Li Gefei said: "It is indeed Jia Xiang, who is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He wanted to support His Highness King Jian because he was angry with the officials who killed his mother..."

Li Qingzhao frowned: "How can things be done because of the eunuch's words?"

Li Gefei said: "The official family's murder of mothers can only be known by the servants. What can we do if we don't ask the eunuchs to prove it?"

Li Qingzhao has been fascinated by it since he was a child, Li Gefei needless to say, his mother Wang is also the granddaughter of the prime minister, and the women who come and go with him are all official wives and ladies, so he naturally has some opinions on the situation in the court: "I don't despise eunuchs, but such a big matter The initiator must not be the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but a prestigious general like Zhang Xianggong!"

Zhang Dun once called Li Gefei to review, but Li Gefei refused to take office, so he was demoted to the outside world. He naturally hated Zhang Dun who acted domineeringly, but he had to admit: "Although Zhang Zihou is arrogant, he is proud of his own achievements. It is indeed a pillar of Chengtian, judging the mountains and rivers, I saw that King Duan's character is not good, but he has been convicted and demoted, what can I do?"

Li Qingzhao sighed: "Whether it's the prestige in the court or in the army, if you want to do Yihuo's business, who can give up Zhang Xianggong? There is also evidence from the servants in the palace, which proves that the officials did kill their mothers. There is something to do!"

"Now that Zhang Xianggong was demoted, Jia Xiang suddenly gave evidence. If he wants to follow the dragon, there is something strange. There is no support from Han Xianggong, Zeng Xianggong, and Cai Xianggong, nor Zhao Zhongcheng and Wu Longtu. Although I don't understand the war, I also feel that I'm afraid that this matter will be impossible, and I'm even more worried that the traitor will make trouble, and I will plan to do something wrong!"

At the end, Li Qingzhao pointed to the Zouma chessboard and repeated the words: "I designed this chess, how can others beat me?"

When Li Gefei just heard it, he felt that this sentence meant something, but he didn't quite understand what it meant. He listened to it for the second time, and he was suddenly startled, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back: "Could it be... Jia Xiang Who arranged it?"

Li Qingzhao nodded lightly: "If the one who designed the chessboard is an official, how can His Highness King Jian win?"

Li Gefei stood up suddenly, took a few steps left and right, but shook his head slowly: "Impossible, the official family killed his mother, it's too late to cover it up, how can the evidence be spread out of the palace?"

Li Qingzhao asked: "Now we can identify those maidservants who killed their mothers. Are they in Prince Jian's mansion, or have they returned to the palace?"

Li Gefei said: "Of course I'm going back to the palace. If I rashly enter Prince Jian's mansion, if I'm discovered by the palace, wouldn't it be a surprise?"

Li Qingzhao's eyes dimmed: "Then I'm afraid they won't be able to leave the palace again..."

Li Gefei is just a fan of the authorities, not stupid, and muttered to himself: "Yes, although Jia Xiang disclosed the evidence of the official's mother-killing to us, but only we know that once the incident is silenced, it will still be the same as before. There is a lot of uproar, but I don't know the truth..."

His daughter's persuasion made him think a lot more clearly, but he still found it difficult to understand: "But His Royal Highness, King Jian, respects morality and propriety, is respectful, thrifty, benevolent and filial, and has never had a bad reputation. If the officials deliberately do it, then King Jian will fail in the end. How will it end? Is it possible that the officials will lose both?"

Li Qingzhao didn't understand this point, but he was unwilling to take risks: "I don't know what His Royal Highness Jian Wang is, but I absolutely dare not gamble on important matters related to the stability of the ruling and opposition parties and the lives of the whole family!"

"If there is any scandal about King Jian, I won't know it now, and it will be ruined after the coup. The whole world will scold him, and even attribute the infamy of killing his mother to King Jian..."

"By that time, King Jian and his followers will all be traitors!"

……

"I don't know who it is, but it's a heinous crime to dare to collude with Xixia thieves!"

"Haha, fortunately, Ling Yishi noticed it, and this time, our Imperial City Division will make great contributions again!"

At the same time, Gao Qiu rode his horse galloping, opened the city gate directly with the token raised by the Imperial City Secretary, and led his elite men out of the city to capture the thief, his head was steaming with excitement.

Not long ago, he had just finished making up lessons and fell asleep exhausted, but as soon as he received the news that there were secret agents from Xixia, his drowsiness disappeared, and the dragon spirit and tiger jumped up suddenly, and began to recruit people, non-stop Implement arrests.

It would not be the case for other thieves, even if they were members of the Mingzun sect, but the Western Xia spy is a completely different matter.

After this battle, the business of the Imperial City Division has finally expanded beyond Bianjing, and it is possible to go to various states and counties in a legitimate manner to arrest possible lurking enemy thieves!
Gao Qiu was gearing up, excited, Li Yan rode alongside him on horseback, Ling Zhen followed behind, holding a compass in his hand, the flashing dots of light on it were exactly the location of the Xixia spy locked by Jiaozi from the Chuanxia Guild.

Led by the three of them, the team quickly left the outer city, passing through a large area of ​​residential buildings, and the road extended by the torches seemed endless, but the position on the compass showed that the two sides were getting closer.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and depressing. Gao Lian and the others, who were not fully awake before, also gradually realized what a great achievement it was to capture the Xixia spies, and their expressions became serious.

At this moment, Li Yan said: "Veterans on the battlefield are extremely sensitive to the sound of horseshoes, and Xixia spies are also unavoidably wary of this. I suggest stopping here and walking over, so as not to startle the snake."

Gao Lian immediately raised his hand: "Stop! Let's get off the horse!"

Everyone got off their horses.

After walking for a few miles and getting very close to the light spot on the compass, Li Yan said again: "Xixia spies are no better than cult thieves, and there must not be many of them. What we have to do is to block the escape route and prevent escape. ,higher efficiency."

Gao Qiu was excited and excited, his brain was confused at night, he obeyed, hurriedly started to arrange, divided into three teams, led by himself, Gao Lian and Pei Xuan, aimed at the target, and forced them to go.

Li Yan made arrangements, but still followed closely to make sure nothing would go wrong.

Ling Zhen looked at the appearance of the imperial city commander's prohibition, compared with other officers and soldiers, he admired it: "Gao Qingtian really deserves his reputation!"

In Li Yan's mind, he roughly went through the possible developments in the next few days, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "There is Gao Qingtian in Kaifeng, who is ruthless in identifying traitors. Without him, this game really cannot be broken!"
