Chapter 1106 Arrest
Li Zhongyi's step into his old house was completely different from the time he was forced to leave.
Wei Renpu had never been to the Duke of Chu who belonged to Li Zhongyi before, but the flowers and grasses seen along the way had withered, as one can imagine, no one had taken care of for a long time.
As the saying goes, if a tree moves to die, a person moves to live!
Li Zhongyi moved from Kaifeng to Goryeo, and from Goryeo to Pinglu. Finally, he defeated Han Tong and attacked Kaifeng City and became the new master of the empire. The fact of the world is unpredictable!
Wei Renpu seemed calm and peaceful, but Li Qiong guessed that this Wei Gong must be thinking about a big question: how to stay on stage for a few more days to gain some benefits for his descendants to protect his homeland.
The change of dynasty has never been a warm treat to the meal. The big cakes for profit have always been limited. Some people eat a few more bites, while others will inevitably eat three fewer bites.
The old powerful people who stand in the wrong team will inevitably hand over their power and even the lives of the whole clan.
The new powerful people who gain power will inevitably divide the vested interests of the old powerful people. This is a cruel reality that is not transferred by human will.
Under the eaves of the inner study room, under the bright lantern light, a woman in a charming dress was waiting for them with a smile.
"I'm paying homage to the king, and I'm blessed." Li Cuixuan had already seen Wei Renpu, Li Qiong and Zhao Kuangyin's three foreign ministers. The original Julang had already reached his mouth, and then changed it to the title of a formal occasion, and Yingying bowed.
"Forget it." Li Zhongyi waved his hand. Although he was the de facto master of the empire, he still didn't like too much red tape.
After all, Li Qiong was old and his eyes were a little blurred. Until he walked down the steps, he could see Li Cuixuan's peerless appearance that harmed the country and the people.
"Si..." Li Qiong secretly took a breath of air conditioning. Can Qi Niang withstand such a strong enemy beside Li Wujiu? He couldn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Although Li Qiong was a hero and a military minister, his talent in fighting could only be described as unsatisfactory. His initial power was due to his bravery and fearlessness.
Thinking back to the time when Li Qiong was defeated by Lin Huzi of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was neglected by Chai Rong for many years. Over the years, Li Qiong, who was originally a semi-illiterate, liked to listen to books. From the storytelling "Xianer", he heard a lot of jokes in the palace.
In short, since ancient times, kings have been so frugal, but their beauty has been so frugal!
According to Li Qiong's understanding, his Qi Niang is already a beautiful courtesan, but she has made the hungry ghost in Li Zhongyi a waste of time.
Unexpectedly, Li Cuixuan, who showed up at this time, was not inferior to Qiniang at all, and was obviously the enemy Li Qiniang was fighting for favor in the inner house.
No matter how it is concealed on the surface, as far as the deepest thoughts in his heart, Li Qiong naturally hopes that his grandson, who is the son Li Qiniang gave birth to in the future, will eventually take over the foundation for all generations left by Li Zhongyi.
There is an old saying, but the words are rough but not rough: One person can attain the truth, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven!
If the grandson of the Prince's Mansion of Huayang County ascends to the throne in the future, even if Li Qiong's body has rotted, his soul will likely crawl out of the coffin, laughing countless times, and celebrating each other.
Everyone has a love for beauty!
Men are not lustful, either have no money or power, or have a strong wife, are old and powerless, or have a certain part of them!
When Zhao Kuangyin saw Li Cuixuan's magical figure, he couldn't help but take a long breath. Li Wujiu's blessing was really great!
Among the three ministers present, Li Qiong was worried that Li Qiong's road to compete for favor was full of thorns. Zhao Kuangyin was in his prime and only cared about appreciating the rare fairy figure, but Wei Renpu was very sober.
Wei Renpu is old and his beautiful concubines have become old concubines. Moreover, the old Wei family does not have a beautiful little lady who can be dedicated to Li Zhongyi, so his mentality is the most peaceful.
"Cough." Wei Renpu noticed that Zhao Lao Er stared at Li Cuixuan intently, and was very worried that he would lose his etiquette in front of him and would drag everyone down the water at that time, so he deliberately coughed gently.
Zhao Kuangyin was reminded by Wei Renpu and immediately woke up. Then his old face suddenly became hot and he quickly lowered his head to avoid causing Li Zhongyi to be unhappy.
In fact, although Li Zhongyi did not specifically stare at Zhao Kuangyin, he paid great attention to his every move.
Li Zhongyi naturally knew that Zhao Kuangyin's brief loss of composure before beauty, and his mood was somewhat complicated.
As for men, if you have a fairy-looking concubine at home, you can only enjoy it alone, but the envy of others is also essential.
Walking in brocade clothes at night, hiding beads in the box, refers to the complex mentality of secret comparison between men.
It is this kind of thing that makes you drool, but there is a natural barrier standing in front of the beauty, which makes you think about it day and night but cannot get envy, jealousy and hatred, which is the easiest way to satisfy the desire of a successful man to show off.
Li Zhongyi took the lead in entering the inner study room. Li Cuixuan took small steps, followed the man's pace, and took the man's untied red cloak.
"My Lords, please sit down and come when you go." Before Li Zhongyi changed his clothes, he invited three important officials into the inner study room, expressing that he must have attached importance to it.
"Master, please give yourself a favor. I am greedy for your best tea." Li Qiong bowed and started a joke.
Although Wei Renpu ranked first among all the ministers, he was not Li Zhongyi's confidant. He had no courage to open his mouth at all because of such a very close relationship.
As for Zhao Kuangyin, he was already worried that Li Zhongyi would use his excuse to make trouble. Just now, Zhao Kuangyin was greedy for the beauty's fairy posture and lost his attitude. His whole heart had not yet completely fallen into his stomach. Where did he get the leisure to get involved in Li Qiong's joke?
Under the service of Li Cuixuan, Li Zhongyi went to change his clothes without mentioning it. The three so-called important officials with their own thoughts sat around in front of the coffee table and chatted about various harmless topics.
Near Daxiangguo Temple in the south of Kaifeng City, it is a famous slum area with foreign populations. There are mixed fish and dragons and gangs here, which has always been a nightmare area where public security is extremely bad.
"Squeak..." The back door of a small house deep in the slums was suddenly pushed open from inside. An old man in rags and ragged clothes and a strip of gray cloth wrapped around his head staggered out the door.
In the alley covered by the moonlight, there was an unpleasant odor in the air, which was a sequelae of the inability to discharge water.
The slightly fat old man walked slowly through three families. He looked around and was about to move forward.
"Tsk tsk, when will Liu Wanguan and Liu Daguan, the richest salt merchant in Kaifeng City be so down?"
Suddenly, a sinister sarcasm sounded from the alley. The old man called Liu Wanguan trembled violently, forcibly restraining the urge to turn his head to look.
"Bang..." Countless torches suddenly broke out in the alley, and the dense soldiers showed a hideous and terrifying sneer in the swaying fire.
At this time, Zuo Ziguang, wearing a blue Confucian shirt, shook a folding fan in his hand and appeared from the shadow with a smile.
"Master Liu, you hide so deeply. It's so hard to find Zuo!" Zuo Zi's glamorous smile reflected into Liu Wanguan's eyes. It was even more than ten times more frightening than the devil's heart-wrenching heart-to-heart digging.
