Chapter 1556 Invite me to a banquet

"Your Majesty, what I say next may make you feel uncomfortable, can you bear it?" Chen Qiao asked again.

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a moment and said: "Is it... about Cai Qing?"

Chen Qiao first asked if Cai Xingwen came to the morning court today, and then said that he had something important to tell Li Zhi, not to mention that Li Zhi is not stupid, even if he is really stupid, he can guess something .

Chen Qiao sighed heavily, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the Huang Guan and Zhang Xizhi I mentioned earlier?"

Li Zhi immediately nodded and said, "Of course I remember, these two people intend to harm my brother-in-law, how can I forget?"

"Before, I pretended to be sick, in order to lure these two people who have been hiding in Tibet to Chang'an City." Chen Qiao said again.

Li Zhi nodded in doubt, "My brother-in-law has already told me about this."

"Just two days ago, these two people finally sneaked into Chang'an City." Chen Qiao said again.

Hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes widened instantly, "They're already here? Can brother-in-law attack them immediately? Do you need me to do anything?"

Chen Qiao smiled and shook his head, "I'm not here today for their business."

"That's..." Li Zhi was about to ask, when he suddenly remembered Cai Xingwen that Chen Qiao had just mentioned, "Could it be that Cai Qing and the two of them..."

Li Zhi's complexion suddenly became ugly. Since Cai Xingwen entered the court as an official, he has always regarded Cai Xingwen, who has excellent ability, as his right-hand man. It mentioned the position of Shangshu Zuopushe.

Originally thought that he could also be like Li Shiming, there was a good story about the mutual achievement of the monarch and his ministers, but in the end, he was just a pawn of others.

Looking at Li Zhi's expression, Chen Qiao knew that he must be very upset right now.

"Don't be too angry. Fortunately, there is still time for everything. Besides, he was indeed a good official who pleaded for the people. It's not a loss for us." Chen Qiao could only persuade him in this way.

Li Zhi sighed heavily. He originally wanted to scold people, and wanted to send someone directly to the Cai Mansion to arrest him and question him, but after hearing Chen Qiao's persuasion with a smile on his face, he finally gave up the plan.

"What? Are you angry?" Chen Qiao asked with a half-smile.

Li Zhi looked at Chen Qiao helplessly, the outburst of anger just now had turned into infinite disappointment with himself in the few words Chen Qiao said.

"No, I just feel that I don't know people clearly." Li Zhiyan said.

Seeing Li Zhi like this, the corner of Chen Qiao's mouth curled up, and he said, "Is there anyone in this world who doesn't make mistakes? Don't say that we mortals with naked eyes are gods in the sky. Can we guarantee that we will never make mistakes?"

That's the reason, but...

Li Zhi leaned on the back of the chair with a dejected expression, thinking with drooping eyebrows, over the years, no matter whether he was in the imperial court or the harem, people have been saying that he is more and more similar to Li Shimin, and even better than Li Shimin in some aspects. Even better.

But it wasn't until now that Li Zhi suddenly realized that what those people said was probably just to flatter him. How could he compare to his father?
Chen Qiao looked deeply at the young emperor in front of him, and remembered that when he first met Li Zhi, Li Zhi was just a little devil with his waist height, so he couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted.

"Your Majesty, you really did a good job." Chen Qiao said sincerely.

Li Zhi looked at Chen Qiao in a daze, his eyes full of doubts about himself.

Chen Qiao bent the corner of his mouth and continued, "Even when the late emperor was alive, he couldn't be united as one. Do you still remember how many people with evil intentions I worked with the late emperor?"

Li Zhi's eyes gradually became clear. Of course, he remembered that those people called him loyal to the emperor and patriotic on the surface, but they didn't know how much filth was hidden behind their backs.

However, Li Zhi seriously thought about it. No matter how many people with ulterior motives were in official positions at that time, Li Shimin valued them more. When their conspiracy was exposed, he never showed Li Shimin's face See any expressions of frustration.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi suddenly realized why Chen Qiao suddenly mentioned Li Shimin, he guessed what he was thinking.

Li Zhi looked at Chen Qiao calmly, but accidentally met Chen Qiao's gaze. Thinking of his previous appearance, Li Zhi himself felt embarrassed.

"Brother-in-law, I understand..." Li Zhi lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Chen Qiao chuckled, and didn't continue the topic, "I came to tell you today because I wanted to say hello to you in advance, so as not to deal with people directly when the time comes, and make you feel even more uncomfortable."

Li Zhi was grateful for Chen Qiao's scruples towards him in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, what's the matter, I'm not a person who doesn't know what's good or bad."

Chen Qiao looked narrowly at Li Zhi, "I know."

"Brother-in-law, do you really need me to send someone to arrest Cai Xingwen first?" Li Zhi asked again uncertainly.

Chen Qiao shook his head and said, "No need, Huang Guan and Zhang Xizhi are both in the Cai Mansion now, I don't want to startle the snake."

Hearing this, Li Zhi nodded, "Okay, then listen to brother-in-law."

After that, the two talked for a long time before Chen Qiao left the palace.

After watching Chen Qiao leave, Li Zhi let out a long sigh.

It's no wonder that Li Shimin wanted to let Chen Qiao succeed him. After all, compared to Li Zhi, Chen Qiao was indeed better.

By the time Chen Qiao avoided people all the way back to the General's Mansion, the sky had completely darkened.

Winter is no different than other seasons, it always gets dark early, and the wind blows more piercingly at night than in other seasons.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Chen Qiao heard that Qi Zifeng was waiting for him again.

Hearing the report, Chen Qiao raised his eyebrows and walked towards the direction of the Nuan Pavilion.

"What? What happened again?"

As soon as they met, Chen Qiao asked straight to the point.

Qi Zifeng shook his head first, and then said: "It's not a big deal, but after thinking about it, I still think I should come and talk to the general."

Chen Qiao raised his chin, signaling Qi Zifeng to continue.

"I just returned home today, and someone came to my door." Qi Zifeng said to Chen Qiao.

Chen Qiao raised his eyebrows, "Who?"

Even though he asked this question, Chen Qiao already had a rough guess in his mind.

"Cai Xingwen's people." Qi Zifeng said with a solemn expression.

Chen Qiao sneered, touched his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Does he feel that someone is here to support him? How dare he send someone directly to find you."

Qi Zifeng sighed, and continued: "The person who came to pass the message didn't say what it was, only that he invited me to Cai's mansion for a banquet tomorrow."

"Only you?" Chen Qiao asked again.

Qi Zifeng shook his head, "I don't know about that, but Brother Shen and the others are not in Chang'an City right now, so even if he wanted to invite them, he couldn't invite them."

After listening to Qi Zifeng's words, Chen Qiao fell into a brief thought, before speaking again after a while, "Did you agree?"
