Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Chapter 1252 Gao Jifu's Attitude

In front of Gao Jifu’s mansion.

As soon as Li Zhi got off the carriage, he saw Gao Ji Fu's son Gao Zhengye coming out with the imperial physician.

Seeing Li Zhi, he hurried forward and saluted.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, I pay my respects to you."

"Well, no need to be polite, Doctor Xu, how is Lord Gao now?"

Li Zhi said in a friendly manner.

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, Minister Gao is fine. He just got angry for a while. He will just need to recuperate for a few days."

Doctor Xu replied respectfully.

After hearing this, Li Zhi showed a relieved look on his face.

"That's good. Lord Gao is an important official of the Tang Dynasty. Nothing can happen to him."

Hearing this, Gao Zhengye immediately bowed and said:

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness Prince Jin."

"No need to be so polite. I will go and visit Lord Gao." Li Zhi shook his head.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, please."

Gao Zhengye immediately made a gesture of invitation.

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, I will return to the palace to report."

Doctor Xu bowed to Li Zhi.

After the imperial physician left, Gao Zhengye accompanied Li Zhi to Gao Jifu's bedroom.

"Aye, Prince Jin is here to visit you."

Gao Zhengye came to the couch and spoke to Gao Jifu in a relaxed manner.

Gao Ji Fu opened his eyes, his face still a little pale.

"Mr. Gao, how do you feel?"

Li Zhi sat next to him and asked with concern.

"His Royal Highness King Jin."

Gao Ji Fu struggled to get up.

"Don't be so polite, Mr. Gao. Your health is the most important thing."

"Thank you, Prince Jin, for coming to visit me."

Gao Ji Fu looked a little weak. He was over fifty years old and was so angry that he vomited blood. He must have hurt his heart.

"That's not right. Lord Gao is the prime minister and a meritorious official of the Tang Dynasty. It is only natural for me to come and visit him.

This is all Prince Ji's fault. Not only did he disrupt the court, he also slandered you, Duke Gao, and acted recklessly.

I don’t know why Aye still indulges him so much.”

The last sentence was what Li Zhi really thought. Li Shen did evil things and thought he had some money so he could do whatever he wanted.

If others did hunting and trampling on farmland, they would have been severely criticized and their fiefdoms and salaries would have been reduced.

But Li Shen trampled on farmland while hunting more than once.

It’s just because Li Shen relies on his wealth and always just pays the money to get things done.

Even if their father knew about it, he would just turn a blind eye.

This made Li Zhi very jealous.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, are you saying that my father is like this because of Prince Ji?"

Gao Zhengye, who was standing by, asked hurriedly after hearing this.

"To be honest, today in the court, Prince Ji openly slandered Lord Gao and was unreasonable.

Gao Gong was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.

All the officials are standing up for Lord Gao."

Li Zhi showed an indignant expression on his face, and was also filled with righteous indignation.

"Damn it! My father fell ill because of this playboy, Prince Ji."

Gao Zhengye's face was full of anger.

"Zhengye, shut up. Prince Ji is a prince. How can you speak nonsense?"

Gao Ji Fu glanced at Li Zhi and scolded his son.

"Mr. Gao, there is no need to be like this. Zhengye is right. The Tenth Master is indeed a playboy, and a big playboy at that."

Li Zhi persuaded with a smile.

“Your Highness Prince Jin, no matter what, Prince Ji is also the monarch, and we are the subjects, so we cannot criticize the prince.

Cough~~cough~~cough~~"

Gao Ji Fu had a look on his face and coughed a few times after he finished speaking.

Gao Zhengye quickly stepped forward and patted Gao Jifu on the back.

"Aye, Aye, are you okay? I was wrong. I shouldn't have criticized the prince. Don't be angry."

After coughing a few times, Gao Ji Fu ignored his son and asked Li Zhi.

"I wonder why His Highness the Prince of Jin came here?"

"Ah, I am here to visit Lord Gao. Lord Gao just vomited blood and fainted in the hall. As a member of the royal family, I am supposed to come and visit him."

Li Zhi looked sincere and didn't seem to be lying.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Jin, for your kindness."

Gao Ji Fu did not show any gratitude, but just expressed his gratitude expressionlessly.

"Mr. Gao, do you think this incident was caused by Li Shen?"

Seeing Gao Ji Fu's look, Li Zhi felt a little unhappy, but he still asked.

"What is your highness the Prince of Jin talking about?"

"Of course it was the lightning strike last night."

Gao Jifu glanced at Li Zhi.

"Why does His Royal Highness Prince Jin think that it was His Royal Highness Prince Ji who did it? I think this is just a coincidence."

"Haha, Lord Gao is treating me as an outsider. My mother has a deep connection with your Gao family.

Naturally, I also have a connection with the Gao family.

Could it be that this king would harm you?"

Li Zhi was very dissatisfied with Gao Ji Fu's attitude.

Gao Ji Fu was the cousin of Gao Shilian, and they were both from the Gao family of Bohai.

Although they are a little distant, they are from the same clan for six generations, which means that the sixth generation above has the same ancestor.

But they are of the same origin.

Gao Shilian was the uncle of Empress Changsun, so he had some connection with Gao Jifu's Gao family.

So Li Zhi thought to himself that this old fox was pretending to be confused with him.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, I do not distrust Your Highness, but... this matter is simply unbelievable.

The old minister believes it is a coincidence.

And what King Ji said in the hall today actually makes some sense.

The old minister always shouted in the court that he was serving the country and the people, but he never treated his servants at home well.

If not, how could those two servants have lost their lives in vain?

Although they are slaves, they also have families and their lives are also theirs.

I feel guilty. "

At this point, Gao Ji Fu burst into tears, and no matter how Gao Zhengye tried to comfort him, it was of no use.

“Haha, since Lord Gao is willing to think so, then I will not say any more.

I hope that the Gao Guild will always think this way, and I also hope that Li Shen will not do anything else."

Li Zhi stood up and sneered.

“I have no grudge against His Royal Highness Prince Ji, and today’s incident was just a debate, not a personal grudge.

I believe that Prince Ji will not do anything to my Gao family."

Hearing Li Zhi's threat, Gao Ji Fu remained calm.

"Okay, very good, this is what I hope for. Since Lord Gao is fine, I will take my leave now.

I will come to visit you another day."

Li Zhi's face turned not very good. He didn't gain anything from this trip.

"Ahem, this old minister is unable to move and cannot see you off. I hope Your Highness Prince Jin will forgive me. Zhengye, I will see Your Highness off on behalf of my father."

Gao Ji Fu coughed twice, showing no intention of seeing him off.

"Mr. Gao, please take good care of your health."

After saying this, Li Zhi walked out, and Gao Zhengye quickly followed to see him off.

Gao Jifu saw Li Zhi go out and said to himself:

"Haha, you still don't give up."

"Aye."

At this time Gao Zhengye came back.

"Sent away?"

Gao Ji Fu slowly got off the couch and sat down in front of the desk.

"I'll send you to the door myself."

Gao Zhengye nodded.

"Father, I don't understand why Father treated King Jin like this just now.
