When he saw Emperor Jing lying on the couch, Li Yi once again realized deeply that this wise monarch seemed to be really coming to the end of his life.
The early court has been at a standstill for nearly two months. For Emperor Jing, who has hardly broken this rule for more than ten years, if his body was not exhausted to a certain extent, he would not have done so.
"came back."
Emperor Jing was leaning on the couch, still holding something in his hand and looking at it. When he looked at Li Yi, a smile appeared on his face.
Li Yi nodded and said, "I'm back..."
Emperor Jing got off the bed and looked up at him.
"Because of the implementation of the 'Debit and Loan Bookkeeping' law, the court has been arguing endlessly for more than a month. Countless officials in the Qi State have been confused because of this matter. It can be said that the whole court is in chaos..."
"The eldest prince of the Qi State proposed the law of negotiating silver for crimes, using silver as a substitute for crimes. Someone pretended to be the censor and the prince's personal guards, and after taking away 600,000 taels of silver from Bingzhou in the name of negotiating silver, they disappeared."
"The people of Qi State have a lot of resentment over the matter of discussing crimes and silver. Within a month, people in three places, about 50,000 people, have revolted in anger..."
Emperor Jing looked at Li Yi, and said slowly: "Should I let you stay in Qi State for a longer time? It is also a blessing for me in Jing State. If you stay for ten or eight years, this Qi State may be just for you dead..."
Li Yi froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "What is your majesty talking about, I... I don't understand."
He really didn't know about the uprising, even if it really was an uprising, it had nothing to do with him, he couldn't blame himself for everything...
To revolt for such a trivial matter, the people of Qi State are really glass-hearted!
"It's good to be in peace." Emperor Jing waved his hand, not caring, and said: "Recently, you will rest at home and rest well, let's put other things aside for now."
The other things he said are naturally the affairs of the academy.
In fact, there is another academy of sciences, and a few months is enough for him to understand that of the two academies, the latter may be more important, and no matter where it is, Li Yi can play a major role.
Even if the old emperor didn't talk about this matter, Li Yi would still mention it.
Ruyi is pregnant, and he has been away from home for nearly five months. He is really not a responsible husband, and he will naturally have to make up for it in the future. If he has the heart to take care of other shit, he has to take two years of paternity leave first.
As for the School of Mathematical Sciences, that little fellow Li Han is doing a good job of taking care of it. It is good for him to be the supreme dean safely and securely. Opportunities are always reserved for these young people.
When Li Yi was thinking about these things, Emperor Jing's gaze was always on him.
Li Yi was kidnapped, this matter was indeed far beyond his expectations, but he was kidnapped, and he was able to stir up such a big storm in Qi, aroused the court, and forced several people in Qi to rebel. , which indirectly eased the friction between the two countries a lot.
Because they have to devote their energy to dealing with the civil strife in Qi...
It's not that he didn't think about the matter of criminal silver at the beginning. He weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and was finally rejected by Li Yi.
At that time, in his heart, he had some doubts about the seriousness of the matter.
However, after hearing the news from Qi State, the trace of doubt in my heart disappeared completely.
Although Li Yi usually doesn't show his dew, his vision and judgment rarely make mistakes.
Only this kind of lazy temperament, which has never changed, has made people feel helpless from the very beginning.
A strange sound came from the hall, which interrupted Emperor Jing's thinking, and looked at Li Yi again.
Li Yi touched his stomach in embarrassment, and said, "I came out in a hurry just now, and I haven't eaten much today..."
"Let the catering bureau prepare some things and send them here." Emperor Jing looked at Changde and ordered, "It just so happens that I'm a little hungry too."
Li Yi didn't have time to refuse at all. In fact, what he meant was... Is it over? Didn't you finish? Hurry up and go back to eat after finishing, there are still a lot of things waiting to be done...
But this sentence can't be said, if the old emperor is angry to death, he can't beat Lao Chang...
The action of the meal bureau was very fast, and it was very likely that it had been prepared a long time ago. Emperor Jing usually ate light food, and this time was no exception.
Li Yi was not at all proud of being able to eat with the emperor often. When Miss Liu Er was recuperating, they always ate light food. After finally coming back, there must be some oil and water, right
What's more, this is not the only reason.
Another reason, he couldn't find out.
The old emperor ate with gusto by himself, and Changde's old face stretched a little while watching.
Li Yi looked up at Changde, thinking of what he said just now, and then looking at the old emperor, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
You have to eat with yourself to have an appetite. Isn't this some kind of abnormal habit that the old emperor developed when he was in Prince Ning's Mansion last time
While thinking in his heart, Emperor Jing looked up at him and asked, "Why don't you eat, the food is not to your liking?"
Li Yi hesitated to speak, and finally asked: "Your Majesty has caught the wind and cold for the past two days?"
"It's all right." Emperor Jing coughed lightly, and said, "If it doesn't suit your appetite, I'll go and order the catering bureau to do something else."
Li Yi looked distressed, "Your Majesty knows that the minister's wife is pregnant and weak, if the minister also catches the cold..."
How smart Emperor Jing was, Li Yi understood what he meant before he finished speaking.
Then the expression on his face was a little dazed.
Is he—disgusting himself
Hate the king of a country
Dislike this thing that countless people regard as an honor
Even the two prime ministers in the court did not have the honor to have dinner with him. Even if the six ministers received such honors, they would probably bathe and fast for three days, be grateful, and kneel down to thank the Holy Grace...
But now, he was actually despised by others
Emperor Jing raised his head, saw his innocent face, his face darkened, he waved his hand, and said, "Get out of here immediately, get out of here..."
"Observe the order! The minister will leave!"
Seeing Li Yi slipping out like a rabbit, Chang De looked at Emperor Jing, and immediately said: "Your Majesty calm down, this old slave will take that kid back..."
Emperor Jing waved his hand, a smile appeared on his face again, and said, "Changde, what do you think this kid will look like if he becomes a father?"
Chang De was startled, and the image of him hugging the two princesses just now appeared in his mind. He shook his head and didn't answer, but he still felt in his heart that Li Xianhou's child should be very happy...
After walking out of a certain palace, a look of relief appeared on Li Yi's face again.
His worry is not unreasonable, if he is really infected by the old emperor, where will he cry, the world is as big as Yiyi, and everything else will stand aside.
It didn't take long before the relaxed look gradually disappeared, and a trace of hidden worry appeared between his brows.
The old emperor's body does not know how long it can last. Judging from the current situation, it is really not optimistic.
He no longer has the energy to take care of too many state affairs. After the power is completely delegated, what will happen to the court
"I'm afraid I have to make plans early..."
When passing somewhere in the palace, Li Yi stopped habitually.
…
"You, what about you, be quicker with your hands and feet, can you bear it if you miss something!"
"And you, what are you looking at, you have nothing to do, right? If you have nothing to do, go and wash the dishes over there..."
"Hurry up, tell me you don't have long ears..."
The head of the catering bureau was giving a lecture. A group of people stood in a row in front of him. He enjoyed this feeling very much. In this small place, he was the absolute master.
From a certain day a few months ago, his feeling became more and more intense.
Every time I saw these people standing in front of him with their heads bowed tremblingly, an inexplicable sense of satisfaction would surge in my heart.
This sense of satisfaction was destroyed when several people in front raised their heads and looked behind him.
"Where are the eyes looking!"
His face darkened, and when he was about to give a lecture, footsteps came from behind him.
Zhang Tan turned his head and saw that familiar figure walking in from the outside, his whole body trembled, and something that had been built up in his heart with great difficulty was smashed to pieces.
"Use the kitchen."
A devil-like voice sounded in his ears again after a few months.
…
…
Morning Dew Hall.
The woman tossed and turned, her sword energy whizzed, and with ordinary eyesight, she couldn't even keep up with her movements.
The white-haired old woman stood in the corridor, looked at the figure in front of her, and sighed leisurely.
A maid came over with a food box in her hand and said, "Nurse Rong, the catering bureau has delivered food."
"Understood, you go down first." The old woman took the food box, put it on the stone table beside her, brought out the food inside, raised her head and said, "Princess, let's eat something first."
Li Mingzhu put away his sword, walked over, and said, "Leave it alone, I don't have much appetite now."
When she walked into the hall, there was a breeze blowing, which brought some of the aroma of the food.
Li Mingzhu paused, turned her head, and walked straight to the stone table.
Grandma Rong watched her pick up the plate of golden egg fried rice, which is the princess's favorite food, but in the past few months, she has never touched the egg fried rice sent by the food bureau.
Li Mingzhu picked up the spoon and took a sip, a gleam suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Then she put down the spoon, raised one hand, and grabbed the arm that was sneaking up from behind her. While putting down the plate of egg fried rice, she bullied her.
boom!
Li Yi was pressed on the pillar outside the hall by her, and the face that she hadn't seen for a long time but was not unfamiliar at all was close at hand, and even the slight trembling of her eyelashes could be clearly seen.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is still as domineering as before, with one arm on his chest, the two can feel each other's breath, in this situation, Li Yi doesn't know if he should close his eyes to show cooperation, maybe Today's second first kiss was taken away by her...
