"Your Majesty, General Li is brave and resourceful. With his ability, he will definitely be able to resolve the unfavorable situation." Fang Xuanling smiled slightly, "This time, it was precisely because General Li offended Lu Ge inadvertently that he immediately found a breakthrough for His Majesty to suppress the arrogance of the Shandong gentry."

"That's right." Li Er nodded slightly, with a smile on his face, "I have mentioned to you before that I want to find an opportunity to suppress the gentry. I didn't expect that Zaigu would hear it and remember it in his heart, so quickly he could find a breakthrough for me with a small matter."

"Your Majesty said very much. Now we don't have to worry about General Li, but Gao Zengsheng. I didn't expect that for the sake of his son, he actually joined forces with the King of Huai'an to deal with General Li." Fang Xuanling said again.

"Gao Zengsheng is not very ill-intentioned. He has followed me since I was the King of Qin, and I have also known him. The reason why Gao Zengsheng joined forces with the King of Huai'an to deal with Zaigu this time is probably because he is eager to save his son." Li Er said disapprovingly.

"Your Majesty, Gao Zeng is a little jealous and prone to jealousy of others, and may cause a disaster in the future." Fang Xuanling said sincerely, "I suggest that he should be given a profound punishment this time so that he can learn from his lesson."

Li Er said "yes" and did not say anything about this.

"I am more surprised by the fact that Xiao Yu impeached him in ancient times." Li Er changed the topic, "Xiao Yu is a man who claims to be an old minister. Sometimes he is honest and not afraid of offending others. Sometimes he has to write a book regardless of right or wrong. Many times, I can't do anything to him."

"I am not surprised that the Censor impeached General Li this time, it was purely expected." Changsun Wuji did not agree.

"Oh?" Li Er then stared at Changsun Wuji.

"General Li had offended the censor and the Censor in Pei Ji's affairs. I also heard that because the death of the former Princess Yicheng of Sui was related to the Right Pushe and General Li, the people of the Xiao family have been looking for opportunities to avenge the former Princess Yicheng of Sui." Changsun Wuji said cautiously.

Li Er's face darkened: "Since I ascended the throne, the people of the Xiao family have been slandering me. They just took this opportunity to attack the Xiao family and let the people of the Xiao family know that it is my Li Tang now, and no longer the former Sui family supported by the Xiao family!"

...

Li Shentong, Gao Zengsheng and Xiao Yu left the Tai Chi Palace and came to Li Shentong's mansion together.

"Why didn't you discuss with me in advance about the matter of Huai'an King, General Gao, and the son who concealed the truth? I almost committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and disobeying the emperor with you!" Xiao Yu said angrily.

"Old Xiao calmed down. I didn't know that the rebellious son concealed the truth in advance, and was deceived by the rebellious son." Li Shentong said helplessly and angrily.

"I am also deceived by the rebellious son like the King of Huai'an." Gao Zengsheng sighed, "The Censor's Censor's Censor's Censorship!"

"You two really don't know?" Xiao Yu said half-believingly and half-doubtedly.

"It's already this time, how could I deceive Mr. Xiao?" Li Shentong said in a solemn tone.

"I hope!" Xiao Yu had a calm face, "Now the three of us are sitting on the same boat, so you must not hide anything!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I didn't hide it." Li Shentong said firmly.

"If you want to blame the whole thing, blame Luge of the Lu family." Gao Zengsheng said in a deep voice.

"What General Gao said is that the initiator of the whole incident was Lu Pavilion of the Lu family of Fanyang!" Li Shentong agreed.

"Yes." Xiao Yu nodded slightly as if he had some understanding.

After pausing for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "What do you two mean is that we will point the finger at the Lu family of Fanyang?"

"That's true!" Gao Zengsheng nodded and whispered.

"Now, only by pointing the finger at the Lu family in Fanyang can my son be saved." Li Shentong whispered.

Xiao Yu frowned: "Is this a bit shameless?"

"Old Xiao, this is not shameless." Li Shentong said disapprovingly, "What's more, the whole thing was caused by the Lu Pavilion of Fanyang Lu family, and my son was purely bewitched by him. If we point the finger at Lu Pavilion, we can also be considered as a substitute for the emperor and find out the real initiator for the court."

"The King of Huai'an is right!" Gao Zengsheng immediately agreed, "The truly shameless person is Lu Ge, not us. If Lu Ge hadn't teased General Li's concubine, if Lu Ge hadn't bullied others, my son would not have been in it, nor would we have been in it."

Shameless, invincible in the world!

Gao Zengsheng is such a person today!

For the whole thing, his son was obviously wrong, but he shamelessly pushed all the mistakes to Lu Ge alone.

There are not only Gao Zengsheng, but also Li Shentong.

Xiao Yu had nothing to say. Although he was honest, it really involved his own interests, so he had to follow the shameless ones.

People are selfish!

Some people are selfish for small things, while others are selfish for big things. Some people are selfish for saving people, while others are selfish for harming people. Some people are selfish for love, and some people are selfish for friendship...

People’s selfishness may not be born with it. Many times, selfishness is a survival instinct. Growing up slowly, this instinct gradually develops into consciousness.

When people are selfish in order to survive, seek benefits and avoid harm, live better, and achieve something... they are selfish, so it is normal to be appropriately selfish. However, they don’t care about others at all, and even harm others for themselves. Such selfishness is bad selfishness and excessive selfishness.

Li Shentong, Gao Zengsheng and Xiao Yu reached a consensus and pointed the source of the whole thing at Luge, leaving Luge alone to bear all the consequences.

Next, Li Shentong and Gao Zengsheng each sent a confidant to meet Li Xiaorui and Gao Laochao in the prison, and secretly conveyed a message to them, asking them to unanimously testify against Luge during the three departments' trial and blame Luge alone.

Only in this way can Li Xiaorui and Gao Laochao have a chance to escape punishment.

...

"Husband, I heard from my father that three ministers impeach you?"

When Li Zaigu returned home, Zhang Rulian couldn't wait to ask.

She spoke anxiously, with concern on her face and eyes.

"That's right!" Li Zaigu nodded, but smiled and looked irrelevant.

"Why did your husband offend King Huai'an and the son of General Gao?" Zhang Rulian asked with concern.

"You are wrong. It's not that I offended the King of Huai'an, General Gao's son, but that King of Huai'an, General Gao's son offended me." Li Zaigu said disapprovingly.

"Husband, is it caused by Jingzhu accidentally bumping into Mr. Lu of Yinlou?" Yi Shu Jingzhu couldn't help but say.

"This matter has nothing to do with you." Li Zaigu said with a smile.

After hearing Yi Shu Jingzhu's words, Zhang Rulian frowned and asked anxiously: "Sister Jingzhu bumped into Mr. Lu of Yinlou? What's going on?"

"Sister, this is the thing..."
