Chapter 515 Invincible
Chapter 515 Invincible
After what happened to Princess Gaoyi last time, they understood that this person from Baifu was the Nilin of Princess Zhenguo.
Seeing Li Mao's facial features flickering and dimming reflected by the flickering candles, the two counselors looked at him, waiting for him to make a decision.
Li Mao thought for a long time, stroking the corners of his clothes with his fingers, and after a while he made up his mind and looked up at the counselor in green shirt: "Lao Ziyuan will go to Shuoyang himself! Don't delay if you leave immediately! When you arrive in Shuoyang, play by ear, if Princess Zhen...just After sending the heads of these people back, there will be no further action, and Ziyuan will act according to his discretion."
Li Mao's meaning is very clear. If Bai Qingyan just sent the head back as a warning, let this green-clothed counselor called Ziyuan consider contacting people from the Bai family in Shuoyang, no matter what. The best way to catch Bai Qingyan.
Cai Ziyuan, the counselor in green shirts, also knew that the reason why Li Mao let him go was because he was the one who came up with the idea!
Letting him go is to ask him to plead guilty for Li Mao, and it also means to let him be punished by Princess Zhenguo.
Tsing Yi counselor Cai Ziyuan nodded after a little bit of astonishment, the idea was his, and it was only natural for him to clean up the mess.
Immediately, he bowed to Li Maochang: "I will live up to the great trust of the left!"
After finishing speaking, Cai Ziyuan immediately turned around and left the study, and ordered the horses to be prepared... Before he even had time to pack his luggage, he rode his horse and brought two guards straight to Shuoyang City.
Zuo Xiang had lingering fears, and his eyelids kept twitching.
The counselor in white comforted: "Master Xiang, don't worry too much. After all, we haven't had time to do anything in the future. Princess Zhenguo sent the head back to Dadu with the intention of intimidating. It should be just a warning. Ziyuan admitted his mistake, presumably It'll be fine."
Li Mao raised his hand and pressed his twitching eyelids, took a sip from his teacup, "You sit too..."
"Master Xiang, let someone say something that shouldn't be said! This time, Lord Xiang and Ziyuan plan...to join forces with the expelled members of the Bai family, and there is something wrong!" The counselor in white said slowly after sitting down, "I know, Xiang The Lord was restless because Princess Zhenguo was holding Xiangye's handle! But... think about it in a different way! Now... Liang Wang thinks that Xiangye once followed the second prince, and he is secretly his! If Liang Wang ascends the throne in the future ...Master Xiang is naturally below one person and above ten thousand!"
Li Mao looked towards the counselor in white, and made a gesture of listening quietly.
"And the Prime Minister is in the hands of Princess Zhenguo again. As long as he doesn't touch Princess Zhenguo's Nilin, and even... assists Princess Zhenguo, the prince will ascend the throne in the future. No matter how the leftist minister is clear, he can be regarded as the prince's party. You won’t be reprimanded! As the princess of Zhenguo, she is a woman who stays away from the court. With you as a high-ranking and powerful courtier in the court who is held by her, can she think of ways to make the crown prince reuse you, so as to achieve control? Is your purpose?"
Li Mao narrowed his eyes, and it seemed to be the reason.
This is probably why Bai Qingyan never handed over those letters.
She thought that holding those letters would allow her to control him, an important court official. Compared with handing in those letters and killing him, it would be more beneficial to her not to hand in those letters to Bai Qingyan.
If he were Bai Qingyan, he would make the same choice when he couldn't touch the court.
"Besides, we haven't caused any substantial harm to the Bai family this time. Princess Zhenguo may not really intend to deal with you, Mr. Xiang, and with Princess Zhenguo's temperament, it must be... If you don't do it, you will do it. It will be earth-shattering, how could the head be sent so lightly!"
Li Mao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Mr. is right, then... let's show our love to Princess Zhen Guo!"
"That's exactly what I mean, so... Xiangye can be regarded as between King Liang and the crown prince, and he is in an invincible position." The counselor in white laughed.
Li Mao nodded, and his heart became more relaxed: "I hope that Ziyuan's trip to Shuoyang can settle this matter properly."
At this time, Li Mao didn't know that Bai Jinxiu had already ordered someone to copy hundreds of points of the letter between Li Mao and the second prince from the left, copied another letter, and sent the original letter to King Liang.
Bai Jinxiu ordered people to send the hundreds of letters transcribed to the most lively places such as fireworks venues where singing and dancing were still going on, wine shops and restaurants.
That night, Young Master Qinggui, who was in Hualou and Huajiu, saw the letter, and saw that the letter was signed by Li Mao, Prime Minister of the Left. There was a lot of discussion, almost everyone had a copy, and they were all studying it carefully.
This is a letter written by Li Mao to the second prince who was executed for treason. In the letter, Li Mao flattered and flattered him, and even said that he was loyal this day, so that the second prince could rest assured.
This letter was carefully selected by Bai Jinxiu, it didn't involve any political affairs, but it was enough to let people see that Li Mao used to be part of the second prince's party.
Bai Qingyan sent someone to instruct Bai Jinxiu to choose a letter, and Bai Jinxiu knew that the elder sister did not plan to kill Li Mao, maybe it would be useful to keep Li Mao, this move was just to frighten Li Mao, and let Li Maoan rest .
That night, Li Mao had just been placed under the care of his concubine, when the housekeeper hurriedly called him outside the door.
Li Mao couldn't sleep well because he had something on his mind, so he got up and opened the curtain to the door and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Something has happened, Mr. Xiang!" said the housekeeper.
Li Mao got up with a thump in his heart, put on his clothes and left, the concubine raised the bed curtain with her bare hands and shouted: "Master Xiang!"
Li Mao didn't care about the concubine's call, and hurried out wrapped in his coat, looking at the butler with deep eyes: "What happened?"
"The letter between you and the second prince, I don't know how... spread in the capital city!" The housekeeper handed the letter in his arms to Li Mao, "Look at it, Mr. Xiang!"
Li Mao took the letter, unfolded it and walked to the study while reading it, and ordered the housekeeper to invite the eldest son Li Mingrui and the counselor in white.
Only then did Li Mao understand that no matter whether he had done any substantial harm to the members of the Bai family, as long as he dared to make such a move, Bai Qingyan would not let him go lightly.
Sending back the head is a warning, and this letter is also a warning.
After all, Bai Qingyan held his handle, and she was the one who was truly confident, so she was naturally unscrupulous.
This time, Li Mao was really reckless. He shouldn't have tried his best to grasp or even create a handle on Bai Qingyan, so as to restrain Bai Qingyan from each other.
He was already at a disadvantage in the fight with Bai Qingyan, so he could only passively be coerced by him.
But, as his counselor said, he has strengths and weaknesses to be controlled by Bai Qingyan, and this is precisely the time for him to have both ways.
The counselor in white at Zuo Xiangfu was called up, put on a coat and went to the study.
Li Mao has read this letter several times, it is indeed his letter to the second prince, but it is not his handwriting, it was copied by someone.
