Chapter 516 Liang Guangchuan’s plan
"Master, my face still hurts." Hu Ji said coquettishly.
Li Jie smiled wickedly when he heard this, "You didn't seem to hurt just now."
"Master~"
Hu Ji was so coquettish that she pushed Li Jie unyieldingly.
Li Jie's bones were almost slouched when he heard Hu Ji's coquettish voice. Unfortunately, his body had been hollowed out over the years. He had just experienced a big battle and was really powerless. "Okay, I'll ask you to buy a few farm shops for you." "The master said everything..." "Bang!"
At this moment, the door of the outer room was suddenly kicked open, which scared the two of them.
Then a burst of rapid and chaotic footsteps entered the room. "Who, I can't die!" Li Jie came to his senses and supported himself and cursed outside. "Master, can it be the eldest son?" "He dares!"
Li Jie cursed angrily: "I haven't dealt with yesterday's incident yet. If he..."
Before he finished speaking, the bedroom door was kicked open and a team of soldiers rushed in.
"Ah~"
Hu Ji exclaimed and quickly pulled the thin blanket to cover her body.
"Who sent you here? Do you know where this is?" Li Jie shouted angrily and competed with Hu Ji to scramble on the thin blanket.
"Mr. Li is so elegant. Bai Rixuan...tsk..."
At this moment, a sarcastic voice came in.
Yin Hanzhang applauded and walked into the room. With interest, he looked at the clothes discarded on the ground and the two people fighting for thin blankets on the bed. "You are... Yin Hanzhang, the Imperial City Chief Prosecutor!" Li Jie looked at Yin Hanzhang with a familiar look. After a while, he recognized him and said in fear.
"It's a great honor for Mr. Li to recognize me!"
Yin Hanzhang smiled and said, "Since Mr. Li recognizes me, you should know that the Imperial City Department is directly obeying Your Majesty. Mr. Li should put on his clothes and go with me."
Although Zhao Xing has been reusing the Imperial City Department since he ascended the throne, because of the special nature of the Imperial City Department, Yin Hanzhang does not need to go to court, and not many people usually show up.
Li Jie does not hold a real position, and the two have no intersection, and have never seen each other before.
But Li Jie was able to recognize him, which means that Li Jie must have paid attention to him.
"Although I have some conflicts with the princess, even so, the government has no reason to directly send the Imperial City Office to arrest people, right?" Li Jie said gritting his teeth. "It's this time, so don't test it. Let me tell you the truth. Your Majesty has happened. Your Majesty ordered me to capture you!" Yin Hanzhang said with a smile.
Li Jie was originally lucky, but his face turned pale when he heard this. "It seems that Mr. Li can't dress himself even if he is pampered and has a good time. Come and serve Mr. Li to dress!" Yin Hanzhang said.
"Yes!"
Immediately, two soldiers responded, put their swords into the sheath, picked up the clothes on the ground, and put them on the rude and distraught Li Jie.
The original duty of the Imperial City Department was to protect the emperor's safety, and it was the guards of the imperial guards.
Responsible for collecting intelligence, which was also given by Emperor Taizu later.
These soldiers only obeyed Zhao Xing and did not care whether Li Jie was the son-in-law or not.
But these soldiers are all rough people, so how can they do what they can do when serving people? Although they put on their clothes for Li Jie, they looked messy.
"Take it away!" Yin Hanzhang waved his hand regardless of whether Li Jie was dressed or not.
As soon as he left the yard, Yin Hanzhang saw a beautiful woman in her thirties walking towards her with the help of two maids.
"Go to Princess Funing!" Yin Hanzhang said.
"Yin Dujian doesn't need to be too polite, you... cough... cough cough..."
Li Jie, who was originally ashamed, saw Princess Funing coming over, as if he saw a life-saving straw, and said anxiously: "Madam, save me!"
Princess Funing ignored Li Jie, coughed for a while, and her face turned paler a little. "Yin Dujian, why did you arrest the prince consort?" asked Princess Funing.
"The Prince Li participated in the minting of counterfeit coins, and I was ordered to come and get people."
"The evidence is conclusive?"
"Conscious!"
Princess Funing was silent for a while after hearing this, and made way for a while.
"Thank you, Princess!"
Yin Hanzhang bowed and took the people away.
Li Jie was unwilling to let Princess Funing save him, but Princess Funing ignored him.
This time, it is naturally impossible to arrest Li Jie alone.
But there were dozens of officials involved in Bianjing.
It was just because of Li Jie's special identity that Yin Hanzhang was worried that Princess Funing would come forward to stop him, so he had to bring people in person.
When Yin Hanzhang led people to arrest Li Jie, those who were sent to arrest other officials were also taking action.
For a moment, some people in the entire Bianjing were panicked.
Unknown things are the most terrifying. With such a big disturbance, no one knows what happened, nor whether they will be implicated.
Gold Li Xianggong learned that the Imperial City Department was dispatched and arrested people everywhere, but was scared to the point.
It was not until I learned that the arrested officials had nothing to do with him that I breathed a sigh of relief.
……………
"Your Majesty." An eunuch walked into the hall and saluted, "The Supreme Emperor sent someone to come and ask Your Majesty to go to Xingming Palace."
"I understand." Zhao Xing waved his hand.
He didn't have to think about it, just knowing that it should be related to Li Jie's affairs.
No matter what, Li Jie is the nephew of his father and his father's biological mother, and he or her husband's consort. He or she cannot ignore him.
When I arrived at Xingming Palace, as soon as I entered the hall, Zhao Xing heard a burst of crying and talking to Empress Dowager Cao.
Zhao Xingxun looked at him and saw Empress Dowager Cao comforting Princess Funing. There was a young man next to him, Li Wen, the son of Princess Funing. "My son pays homage to my father and mother!" Zhao Xing bowed.
Princess Funing, who was crying, wanted to get up and salute, but was held down by Empress Dowager Cao.
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and frowned and said, "What's going on over Li Jie?"
"Does my father remember that Erchen told you before that the flood of counterfeit money among the people?"
Zhao Xing had no intention of hiding this, as the father and emperor could find out after a little investigation. "You mean it was all Li Jie did it?" the Supreme Emperor frowned.
According to what Zhao Xing said before, the counterfeit currency has already happened, how could it be related to Li Jie? "It can't be said that he did it. He should have been introduced by those people." Zhao Xing said.
The Supreme Emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He already knew how Li Jie treated Princess Funing.
Although he was angry and wanted to kill Li Jie, he felt even more guilty about his biological mother.
The time when his biological mother Li and Empress Dowager Liu died was almost the same.
Li died several months earlier than Liu. It was not until after Liu's death that he realized that his biological mother was not Liu's, but Li's.
The guilt in his heart can be imagined when he thought that he could not recognize Li until his death.
Even though he pursued Li as the Empress Dowager, he still felt guilty.
So even though he was so angry with Princess Funing, he didn't want Li Jie's life.
But if Li Jie participated in the minting of counterfeit coins, he would not let Zhao Xing give in to personal gain.
After all, Zhao Xing was not ruthless in his treatment of his uncle at the beginning, how could he let Zhao Xing spare Li Jie?
But since Li Jie was taken into blame by those people, the crime can be serious.
"Father, although Li Jie was exploited, he knew in his heart that he was not ignorant of it. Even if he only used it, it would be a death sentence for his crime!" Zhao Xing said. "You..."
The Supreme Emperor pointed at Zhao Xing when he heard this, and was very angry.
He didn't believe Zhao Xing didn't know that he wanted to save Li Jie's life.

"Have you ever thought about what to do if you execute him, Funing? What to do with Brother Wen? They are your sister and nephew!"
"Father!"
Princess Funing stood up and knelt in front of the Supreme Emperor, saying, "The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. Since the son-in-law makes a mistake, he naturally has to deal with it according to the law. Your Majesty does this to help his daughter vent his anger."
"Funing said well!"
Empress Dowager Cao said angrily, "Your Majesty, haven't you heard of how Li Jie treats Funing? Funing is your daughter. He dares to be so lazy. This alone is a death sentence."
Funing also raised her in front of her for some years. Because she had no children, she always regarded Funing as her own.
After learning that Princess Funing had suffered such a great grievance, she wanted to kill Li Jie.
Before Zhao Xing had time to speak, Princess Funing and Empress Dowager Cao stood up and demanded severe punishment of Li Jie.
He glanced at Princess Funing and thought Princess Funing was here to plead for Li Jie, but he didn't expect Princess Funing to demand severe punishment of Li Jie, which surprised him.
But if you think about it carefully, he will understand that Princess Funing didn't want to make him embarrassed.
Otherwise, Princess Funing really suffered a grievance and resented Li Jie, why didn’t she sue before? "Where is Brother Wen?" Seeing that Princess Funing and Empress Dowager Cao supported the severe punishment of Li Jie, the Supreme Emperor pointed to Li Wen on the side and said.
Li Wen looked at the eyes of several people, and he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Although he was dissatisfied with his father's way of treating his mother, he was his father after all.
Even though he was still young, he could probably guess what happened to his father from Zhao Xing's tone just now.
Zhao Xing frowned slightly. This is indeed a troublesome thing.
There is no more than Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, and remarrying for a woman is nothing.
Not to mention a princess.
But what should Li Wen do?
Zhu Yuanzhang was so cruel that he killed the nine clans of Li Shanchang, but left him with a son.
It was not that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to leave some blood for Li Shanchang, but because Li Shanchang's son married Lao Zhu's daughter.
Even a person like Lao Zhu is not immune to the vulgarity, let alone the father. "Father, this matter has not been investigated clearly yet. How to deal with it specifically? Let's talk about it when the investigation is clear." Zhao Xing said in silence for a while.
The Supreme Emperor opened his mouth, and finally sighed, saying, "Just do what you said."
…………
"Your Majesty, many officials have been to Zhazi and impeach the Imperial City Department!" Zhao Xing returned to Longtu Pavilion, Sanshui bowed, pointed to the pile of Zhazi piled up on the table and said.
"Hmph."
Zhao Xing looked at the piles of thorns on the table. After a rough look, there were probably dozens of them. He sneered: "They are in a hurry."
There are dozens of officials involved in the minting of counterfeit coins in Bianjing alone. How many are there in the entire Song Dynasty?
Later generations said that through six people, you can know everyone in the world.
What is the theory of this statement? Zhao Xing forgot it, and he was not sure whether the statement was true.
But he was clear that this time, almost all officials in the court and China had a certain relationship with these relationships.
Whether your disciples and old officials or in-laws, you have even been promoted.
If something happens to these officials, they may be implicated.
It is precisely because of this that these people wrote letters to impeach and wanted to stop this matter.
Zhao Xing read a few pricks in his simple status. These people were smart and did not defend the arrested officials.
But the people who impeached the Imperial City Department took the opportunity to plunder the benefits when arresting officials, and some people said that the matter should not be left to the Imperial City Department. "Put it away first." Zhao Xing waved his hand.
The rest should be almost the same, and he was too lazy to watch it.

Xixia, Liang Family Study Room
Liang Guangchuan looked at Liang Yichao and said, "Now facing the attack of Hehuang, he is defeated step by step. Those people have no intention of surveillance at my Liang family. This is a god-given opportunity."
"I will send you to leave Xixia quietly and go to the Song Dynasty. No matter what method is used, you must rescue your sister! Otherwise, my Liang family will be finished!"
Although Li Mingxiao was also dead, the Dangxiang nobles were already stronger in the court than Han officials.
The Dangxiang nobles he had secretly won over all the Liang family.
They were attracted by Liang Guangchuan because Li Liangzuo valued the Liang family and wanted to gain benefits through the Liang family.
Li Liangzuo was dead and Queen Liang was in power, so they would not be back-stolen.
Because Empress Liang's son succeeded to the throne, Empress Liang was the empress dowager and could control the power of Xixia.
However, Empress Liang was kidnapped by the Song Dynasty, how could they still be driven by Liang Guangchuan?
Isn't it nice to be the leader of your own family?
Although these people were not known to be the Liang family who killed Li Liangzuo, the Liang family still knew that they were plotting to kill Li Mingxiao.
They exposed the Liang family's murder of Li Mingxiao, and the Dangxiang nobles united and directly abolished the position of Prime Minister Liang Guangchuan.
Fortunately, they were just united in dealing with the Liang family. They felt that the Liang family had no threat, so they started fighting in the internal struggle.
In addition, Hehuang sent troops to attack Xixia, these people were even less interested in managing the Liang family. "Before, my father sent someone to the Song Dynasty, but even the Emperor of the Song Dynasty did not see him. Obviously, he had no intention of letting him go. Even if the child went, the Song Dynasty might not agree." Liang Yimeng said. "The world is bustling and bustling, all for profit." Liang Guangchuan said, "The Song Dynasty did not let go, but because the interests were not enough. You go to the Song Dynasty this time and tell the Song Dynasty that as long as the Song Dynasty is willing to let go, Xixia is willing to return Lingzhou City to the Song Dynasty!"
Lingzhou City was taken away by Xixia during the battle between Song and Xia that year.
The reason why Liang Guangchuan was so confident was that the Song Dynasty would release people when it heard the conditions was because the status of Lingzhou City was very special.
Although Lingzhou City is not a strong city or rich, it is the only way for the Song Dynasty to lead to the Western Regions.
In the past, although the Song Dynasty was blocked by the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms, it was still able to obtain war horses from the Western Regions.
It was precisely because of the loss of Lingzhou City that the Song Dynasty completely lost the way to obtain war horses and could only buy them from Xixia and Liao Kingdoms at a high price.
This is also the reason why the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia sold war horses to the Song Dynasty became increasingly high.
Because the Song Dynasty doesn’t buy it, there is no way to obtain a war horse.
And the Western Regions are also a must-pass route to the Silk Road.
He doesn't believe that using Lingzhou City as a bargaining chip, so the Song Dynasty will not be moved.
Even if the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is unwilling, as long as the ministers of the Song Dynasty are moved, they will convince the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to agree. "But Lingzhou City is not in our hands, and the Song Dynasty may not believe it easily." Liang Yimai frowned.
