Li Mei in her arms put one hand around Li Hong's neck, and took out a toffee from the small satchel on her back with the other hand. After peeling off the outer paper, she first stuffed a piece of it into Li Hong's mouth, and then gave it to Li Hong. Pei Wanying took it together, and finally put a piece in her mouth.
"Why are you alone? Isn't there anyone to play with you?" Li Hong asked, kissing Li Mei's cheek.
"There is no one in the palace. They have all gone to school. Sister Li Ye and Lan'er didn't let me go with them, and Huniu doesn't like to go either. She's afraid of people." The three of them continued to sit down in the pavilion, and Li Mei also Without moving, she sat on Li Hong's legs, swaying her calves, leaning into Li Hong's arms, and hitting Li Hong's chest with the back of her head from time to time.
"Then you are the only one in the palace, Li Mei?" Pei Wanying took the second piece of candy from Li Mei's hand, peeled off the outer paper for her, and put it into little Li Mei's mouth.
"Well, I'm the only one left, but I still have Hu Niu accompanying me."
"If you don't take a nap, your mother and concubine won't talk about you?" Li Hong pressed his chin on the restless little head in his arms, and his chest hurt from the little guy.
"I don't want to sleep. I have to wait for the afternoon to pick up Sister Zizi and Sister Laner with Huniu. As long as the gentleman from the Imperial College sees me, he will immediately ask Sister Zizi and Sister Laner to come out... cluck..." After saying this, the little guy also I don't know what I thought of, and I laughed to myself.
Li Hong didn't know what she was laughing at. Anyway, the little guy in his arms had not yet fully developed his logical thinking ability. He was banging his hammer here and there and saying whatever came to his mind.
So Pei Wanying sat quietly next to her, or patted Li Mei's little hand that continued to reach into her pocket, indicating that she could no longer eat sweets.
The father and daughter talked in a coquettish voice about the anecdotes of her "life". In short, the palace maid sister was greedy and secretly measured her chest two days ago, or the eunuch gave it to relatives outside. I got a few taels of silver and bought her delicious food.
Li Hong followed Li Mei's words at the right time, like a complimenting crosstalk actor. When Li Mei paused or looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, he would immediately follow up: "Then what happens next?" What?" to satisfy Li Mei's small sense of accomplishment.
But when Li Mei's two maids came to Langting in a panic, their princess had already fallen asleep deeply in His Majesty's arms.
"I'll just carry her back myself." Li Hong stood up, tightened his eyebrows at Li who was sleeping in his arms, and walked towards the direction of Zichen Palace.
Pei Wanying stood up and walked to where Huniu was lying. She picked up the small stone and put it aside to prevent Li Mei from using it next time.
Then he led Huniu and followed Li Hong. Two figures, one in the shape of a tiger, were compressed into a small area under their feet by the sun above them. Looking from a distance, the harmonious silhouettes of two people and one tiger slowly walked together towards the Zichen Palace.
"It's right for Li Ye to go to your father's place. The most basic respect is, but you still have to be wary of Pei Si in the past two days. When you and I met in Qujiang Pool, she contributed a lot, although she is now a woman. She is a mother, but she is her biological brother after all. Li Ye obviously can't handle it. Then you, the queen, will have to support Li Ye." Li Hong carefully placed Li Mei in the bedroom of Zichen Palace, and then After personally covering Li Mei with a thin quilt, she straightened up and said to Pei Wanying who let go of the string in her hand.
"Well, I thought of it yesterday, don't worry." Pei Wanying also whispered softly, fearing to wake up little Li Mei who was sleeping deeply.
Walking out of the dormitory with Li Hong, Li Hong thought for a while and said: "The reform of slavery that I told you on the bedside a few days ago is already imperative. Pei Si has also embezzled and annexed land in recent years. Let's tell her together so that she can be mentally prepared. If she is still stubborn, I will take action myself and don't expect any preferential treatment. "
"My cousin wants to be reasonable and come to the palace to intercede for Pei Qing this time. It is also because Pei Qing is the only son in the family and I know the stakes." Pei Wanying nodded, and then watched Chen Jingzhi walk in under the guidance of the eunuch. He left with his maid.
Although Pei Qing's case was handed over to Li Ye with full authority, Pei Wanying, a mother-in-law, would still be a little worried no matter how relieved she was. Now I asked His Majesty not to interfere anymore, but in order to prevent Li Ye from suffering a loss, After talking to Bai Chun again, letting Li Ye, the aunt, take care of the stakes, I can feel more at ease.
After sitting down with Chen Jingzhi in the banquet hall, Chen Jingzhi took out a memorial from his arms, and then said: "The impeachment of some old ministers, these people are far away from the court, but their ears remain in the court one by one. Up. Pei Qing was investigated by your majesty just yesterday. When I was summoned to the palace today, I received this joint memorial at the door, which is to impeach Pei Qing and others. "
"It was expected, so the queen and the emperor's eldest son Li Ye almost let Cui Xin take advantage of the loophole. If he was really imprisoned in Prince Pu's Mansion, this memorial of impeachment would become a memorial of forgiveness to Cambodia. By the way, take a look at this. You have served as Minister of Civil Affairs for one year and see if you have any impression of these two people." Li Hong instantly found the memorial he wanted to show Chen Jingzhi from among the piles.
"Su Hui, the magistrate of Xinfeng County, was the magistrate of Xinfeng County four years ago. Then after I retired, I heard that I had committed something, but I didn't know the details." Chen Jingzhi recalled, stroking his beard: "Don't drive in this Huazhou. Chen Ziangchen was familiar with him, but his tenure as Minister of Civil Affairs was too short, and he found that it was too late to promote him, so he simply handed it over to the next Yao Chong. What happened next... It seems to be related to Su Hui, and they committed something together. The case still violated the law, I don’t know the details.”
"This is the information Bai Chun gave me just now. Check to see if it is true." After Li Hong waited for Chen Jingzhi to finish speaking, he handed another memorial to Chen Jingzhi.
The memorial is not a secret, but the identity information of the two girls Li Hong brought back yesterday: Hongxiu and Tianxiang.
Judging from the information Bai Chun found, one of Hongxiu and Tianxiang was originally named Su Wan, and the other was named Chen Di. Chen Ziang happened to name her daughter Chen Di for the sake of the Chen family's incense, hoping to have a child. , can add a younger brother to Chen Di, so that the incense of the single seedling of the Chen family can be continued for three generations.
"There is no doubt that Chen Di is Chen Ziang's daughter, but if Your Majesty wants to get to the bottom of this matter, I'm afraid the Ministry of Punishment will need to confirm it. Chen Ziang was convicted and his family was assigned as a slave. Is Chen Di's identity related to this Tianxiang? It's a person, can you tell by checking it?" Chen Jingzhi still didn't know anything about the fact that Cui Xin, the Minister of Punishment, has now been listed as a target of suspicion by Li Hong.
Li Hong nodded silently and did not express his doubts about Cui Xin. After all, Chen Jingzhi had retired and returned to his hometown, and there was no need to worry about court matters anymore.
The monarch and his ministers were silent for a while, and then Li Hong opened his mouth again and said: "It will be a matter of time before Li Ye is made the prince, but I don't plan to make him the prince first, but I think that if he is allowed to travel around, this boy will definitely I retraced my route to show respect for me. Therefore, Li Ye went to Pei Xingjian's house today. I believe that Pei Xingjian would recommend several talented, wise and courageous young generals to him from the Anxi Corps. And you. Well, don’t be idle, Donghai Navy, you can give me a list of several young and promising mid-level and low-level generals.”
"Why not let the Ministry of War intervene? The veteran has already..." Chen Jingzhi frowned, feeling a little reluctant.
However, he, the father-in-law of the emperor, dared to talk to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty like this. If it were anyone else who could gain such trust from His Majesty, I am afraid that he would be extremely happy in his heart. On the surface, he was frightened and quickly followed this sentence. The will is right.
"The Minister of the Ministry of War is not in Chang'an now. After Dashi and the Japanese envoys entered the Tang Dynasty, General Pei Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, went to Anxi, and Zuo Shilang went to the Donghai Navy to prevent Japan and Dashi from suddenly getting into trouble. So I can only trouble you. , After all, the Donghai Navy was managed by you and Pei Xingjian, so you are familiar with it." Li Hong opened a blank memorial, took a look at it, and then threw it to Chen Jingzhi.
Chen Jingzhi nodded thoughtfully, but he still didn't understand a little. Since His Majesty had no intention of naming the emperor's eldest son Li Ye as prince before the eldest son traveled, then when he arrived in Anxi, there were a few more young generals around him, right? Will it cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers
The original prince of the East Palace had six military powers, but it was banned when Li Hong ascended the throne as the emperor. Now even if the eldest son of the emperor Li Ye is established as the prince, he does not have any military power at all. What's more, the eldest son of the emperor is not a prince yet. After arriving in Anxi, can we convince those rough guys who are used to wandering on the battlefield
As if he had seen through Chen Jingzhi's thoughts and scruples, Li Hong sighed slightly and said, "Don't worry about this. Since I allow him to travel, it is naturally impossible for him to travel as the eldest son of the emperor. This is something I plan to save for the minister." Appointment and dismissal letter. Do you think it is appropriate to give it to Li Ye from among the top three doctors of the imperial court, the doctor of the military department of the country, and the doctor of the civil affairs department
Li Hong smiled. He had planned this for a long time. He was afraid that if Li Ye was young and vigorous, once he was established as the crown prince, because of his achievements, if this kid would dive into the bull's horns, he would not be able to hit the target. It would be a pity if he didn't turn around, so he replaced the title of prince with the title of "Sanbu Langzhong", allowing him to know the operations of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and polishing the edges and arrogance of the young man's heart, which became extremely high. It's important.
Moreover, once Li Ye is unable to make a difference in the three films, or the three films are in a mess, restless and full of chaos, but because he is only a small doctor from the fifth rank, naturally he will not be able to do anything. It will cause turbulence in all three parts.
But if he can be in the position of the third doctor, even if he can't get along well, it can make Li Hong see clearly whether Li Ye is suitable for the position of prince after leaving the palace.
Chen Jingzhi obviously understood Li Hong's thoughts in a short period of time, so he smiled calmly and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and I admire him with all my heart."
