The stone steps leading to the outside of the palace are very long, and the guards at the gate of the palace still have dead faces one by one, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, avoiding unrelated people from approaching.
Li Yi walked out of the palace gate and looked back. At this moment, everything seemed to be as usual, and everything seemed to be different.
Before noon, the sun was shining brightly and the temperature was moderate. The woman holding a sword standing under the willow tree was a beautiful sight. Life was so beautiful, and Li Yi was in an extremely happy mood.
He strode over, opened his arms, and gave Second Miss Liu a big hug.
Because he was too happy, he picked her up and turned around on the spot again. Only at the critical moment did he realize that it was Miss Liu Er, not Xiaohuan or Yongning, so he didn't dare to kiss her pretty face or forehead.
Before she could react, Li Yi hurriedly put her down, and then waved his hand.
"go home!"
Seeing his back in a hurry, Miss Liu Er gradually lowered her sword-holding arms, as if she had also let go of something extremely heavy at the same time.
A few hundred meters away from the palace gate, the man sitting under a big tree while enjoying the shade and chatting with the tea vendor, turned his head and glanced, a gleam of joy appeared on his face, stood up, and quickly disappeared In the alley.
Not long after, people on a certain street were pleasantly surprised to find that the smoothie shop that was closed in the morning had actually opened, and rushed to the door of the shop. A few days ago, the shop launched several new products, because the people queuing up every day There are too many people, I haven't tasted it for several days, I can't miss it again today...
Today's early court time did not last long. Hundreds of officials came out of the palace gate in twos and threes, with complex complexions and different thoughts. Not one of them was thinking about the content of His Majesty's imperial decree just now.
Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, and Li Xuan, the heir son of King Ning, beat the prince in the palace in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu court. Their behavior was extremely bad, and of course they should not be exposed lightly.
As a result, Li Xuan's eldest son, the Gyeonggi-do supervisory envoy, was taken back, and he had to spend half a month behind closed doors in the Shizi's mansion, and he was not allowed to step out of the Shizi's mansion. The king's reasons still cannot be exempted from responsibility. However, in view of his miraculous cure of Princess Yongning's terminal illness, His Majesty Longyan Dayue, in the spirit of humanitarianism, did not impose much punishment, but removed him from the post of Minister of War , only one year's fine.
It wasn't until Baiguan walked out of the palace gate that he realized when Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, became the Minister of the Ministry of War
Although His Majesty once mentioned this matter in the court, he was immediately opposed by many courtiers, and in the end it was ignored. How can such an operation be done without a word
However, although this move seemed unreasonable, no one, including Prime Minister Qin, raised any objections.
Ever since they knew the whole story of what happened yesterday, they immediately understood in their hearts that the king of Shu's beating was probably going to be in vain.
When the matter developed to this point, it was no longer as simple as it was at the beginning. Instead, it had nothing to do with that Li Xianzi and Li Xuanshizi.
Your Majesty has always been strict with the princes, especially in terms of virtue. As an adult prince, the King of Shu actually bullied a little princess who was only six years old. Although Princess Yongning was not born to Concubine Cui, she is still his sister no matter what...
After knowing this, even they were disappointed with the King of Shu, let alone His Majesty
If it weren't for the support of several wealthy families behind the King of Shu, and the support of Qin Xiang at the top of the court, no one would be able to get the crown prince's turn.
As for what is passed on to the descendant but not to the concubine, and to pass on the elder but not the young—what is the ancestral system compared to the rise and fall of the country
This time, His Majesty undoubtedly conveyed his attitude in front of all the officials. After today, the officials who firmly stand in the camp of the King of Shu will try their best to change the situation, and those who are still wavering on the sidelines may feel even worse in their hearts. perturbed.
But in any case, in a short period of time, I am afraid that no one will mention the matter of establishing the King of Shu as the crown prince.
…
…
In a secluded hall somewhere in the palace, the King of Shu was lying on his back on the bed, his head was covered with white gauze, and his eyes were staring straight up.
"You, you disappointed me so much!" Concubine Cui Gui stood in front of the bed, her face was full of sullenness, she looked at the King of Shu and said, "What are you doing to provoke Yongning when you have nothing to do? Prince, how difficult it will be for us to get to this point when we ascend the throne in the future!"
The King of Shu's face was covered with a white cloth, and his expression could not be seen clearly at all. Only from his clenched fists and the unresolved hatred in his eyes could he see his mood at the moment.
He also just learned about what happened in the court today.
He wished he could cut him into pieces, and Li Yi, who ate his blood and his flesh, was only fined a year's salary. For him, what could be more ironic than this
As a prince, he was beaten and seriously injured in front of everyone, and now he can only lie on the bed and cannot move, but the person who did it has not been punished at all. What face will he have in front of others in the future
He hates Li Yi, he hates Li Xuan, and he also hates the person he shouldn't hate, if he could give him the crown prince earlier...
"You are recuperating here these days. I have already written to your uncle. They will help you find a way. After you recover from your injury, you can go to Qin Xiang's mansion..."
King Shu lay on the bed, listened to Concubine Cui Gui's words, loosened his clenched fists, and took a deep breath.
"I see..." He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words from his mouth.
…
…
The loss of the king of Shu is not a happy thing for many people.
According to the officials of the Shangshu Province, Qin Xiang has been sullen today, and it is rare to reprimand an official for a trivial matter. Everyone in the Shangshu Province is in danger...
In Chen Guogong's mansion, a maid lowered her head to clean up the teacup that the second master had just broken, and she didn't dare to breathe, let alone look up.
Recalling what the two masters had just said inside, a maid outside the door quietly left and trot towards a certain small courtyard.
Naturally, officials and dignitaries who are close to the king of Shu are not in a good mood. However, there are also some people who, on the contrary, praise Li Xianzi in their hearts.
The few princes who are still in Beijing, who are about to grow up, finally became active after knowing what happened today. They thought that with their strength, it was impossible to compete with the king of Shu. There was a glimmer of hope in their hearts, even if it was just a glimmer, no one was willing to give up.
At the same time, countless letters flew out from the capital, and their destinations were the fiefdoms of those adult princes.
In the Prince's Mansion, Li Xuan was having a headache facing everyone in the Wang family, and in the Viscount's Mansion, Li Yi was also humbly accepting the old lady's education.
The maidservants felt aggrieved for the lord, although they didn't know what the lord had done to make the old lady so angry, but this month their allowance was doubled by the lord, and they would naturally turn to the lord in their hearts. grandpa...
The cook in the house counted the double amount of money with her fingers, and she could get a lot more every month. If this continues, the house at home will be refurbished in a short time...
I don’t dare to think about it, the chicken that the old man asked for hasn’t been made yet, I don’t understand why the old man specifically told the chicken not to cut it for nothing, knowing that chopping is the best way for her...
