Lord Pingling didn't have much affection for Li Shanben, plus he wanted to pretend to be sick and refused to go to Beijing, such a move was reasonable.
Jiang Xuanjin listened to the report, didn't say much, and gave Yufeng a letter, asking him to sneak back to the capital to find Bai Dezhong.
Therefore, on the day of Li Shan's death, Li Fangwu was absent, and Bai Dezhong played it to the emperor in the name of his unfilial piety, asking the emperor to issue a decree to punish him.
Not only did Li Fangwu not come to Beijing to report on his duties, he was not even present on the anniversary of Li Shan's death. Even if he was sick, how long had he been sick? Didn't you go to the Changlin birthday banquet a while ago
Li Huailin deliberated for a long time, then wrote a letter and sent it to Pingling, the letter was very gentle, but Li Fangwu felt cold all over.
The emperor's meaning is obvious: are you coming to Kyoto? If you arrive within three days and offer a stick of incense to Li Shan, there is still room for relaxation. If you don’t come, then I will follow Yushi’s wishes and accuse you of being unfilial.
The words are gentle, but the attitude is clear that it is necessary to be courteous before fighting. If only before. Li Fangwu must have gone to Kyoto without saying a word. But right now, he hesitated, thought about it, and went to see Jiang Yan who was still in Pingling.
Jiang Yan said: "Sir Ziyang's words are indeed true, His Majesty has already intended to use Pingling for surgery, as long as you dare to go to the capital, His Majesty will definitely ask you for the crime of deceiving the king, and then you will have no protection from Pingling. If you can't get the protection of the courtiers, you can only be slaughtered by others."
Li Fangwu broke out in a cold sweat: "Maybe Lord Ziyang save me?"
Jiang Yan said awkwardly: "When I left, he only said that it would be fine for you to stay in the fief to protect yourself, but he didn't tell you exactly how to do it."
It is impossible to leave Pingling, he is not stupid if he knows that he will die if he goes to the capital! Li Fangwu frightened and recruited his staff to discuss with them. Let's see how we can get rid of this unfilial name.
Three days later, Li Huaiyu also got wind of it.
"This is really strange." Looking at the letter in her hand, she was speechless, "Mr. Pingling, is it crazy? It's so good that you want to make trouble with your own father?"
How did the news of Li Shan's disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice start to spread
The study was quiet, and Qingsi, who was standing beside her just now, was silent for some reason. Instead, a slender hand reached out and handed her a cup of tea.
Huaiyu took it, and looked up by the way, the teacup was almost unsteady.
"You... Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Jiang Xuanjin stood in front of her, covered in frost, with indifferent eyes: "Passing by."
Having lived in the princess mansion for so many days, he has hardly appeared in front of her. Huai Yu just let go of his guard, but when he saw him unexpectedly, he was really shocked: "Lu... pass by?"
How should this road be passed so as to cross her tightly guarded study room
I hurriedly wanted to hide the secret letter in my hand. Huaiyu managed to calm down: "Next time Junshang passes by, remember to knock on the door."
Seeing her move, Jiang Xuanjin snorted lightly, and instead of looking to the side, asked coldly, "Do you want Qu Linhe?"
Qulin River is a big river running through Pingling, and its tributaries are not far from the border city of Danyang. Danyang originally cut off the river and diverted it to the three counties of Dongping, which also benefited Dongping. Now that the river is going to be changed back, the biggest resistance comes from the three counties of Dongping, otherwise the river should have been opened half a month ago. If the Qulin River was supported by digging canals, it would be much easier for the three counties of Dongping to let go.
Li Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "What does Your Majesty want me to exchange?"
"Simple." Jiang Xuanjin said, "Do Mr. Pingling a favor."
Mr. Pingling is now anxious about the crime hanging over his head, and has already begun to plan to make a fuss about Li Shan. Otherwise, he would not be able to bear the crime of unfilial piety. But he is Li Shan's own son after all, he can't stand up and say what bad things his father has done, it won't win people's hearts.
At this time, Princess Danyang is the best helper.
Huaiyu raised her eyebrows, and instantly understood Jiang Xuanjin's thoughts.
She went to help Lord Pingling, and Lord Pingling rewarded her with a canal, but what about Jiang Xuanjin? He doesn't have to do anything, as long as he is in the middle, he can get favors from both sides. Mr. Pingling was already tricked into boarding the pirate ship by him, and he did it again. I'm afraid he will be regarded as a savior.
She clapped her hands lightly, Huaiyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is amazing."
Jiang Xuanjin asked: "Your Highness, do you wish?"
"Naturally, why don't you want to?" Huaiyu stood up, holding her stomach and said, "If your lord is in a hurry, I can leave now."
His eyes fell on her bulging stomach that seemed about to fall off, Jiang Xuanjin turned pale, shook his head and said, "You just need to write a statement of indictment."
"Huh?" Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it because I went to Pingling to make a fuss in person to make it more real?"
In terms of what Li Shan has done, it is enough to make her pretend to fight with Pingling. When the soldiers come to the city, it will be more convincing to present Li Shan's crimes!
"The indictment." Jiang Xuanjin lowered his eyes, "If you don't know how to write it, let Jiang Shen write it for you."
Seeing his attitude, Li Huaiyu was silent for a moment, walked up to him with his stomach in his arms, and swayed left and right.
Sure enough, the man's face turned paler, and the fingers on his knees slowly curled up.
Huai Yu laughed: "Are you afraid of it?"
"No." Jiang Xuanjin stood up indifferently, "I've said everything I need to say, let me take my leave."
"Hey!" With a playful heart, Li Huaiyu stretched out his hand and grabbed him, smiling a bit nastyly, "Your Majesty, you probably haven't seen anyone pregnant yet, have you? Would you like to touch it?"
His back was stiff, and Jiang Xuanjin didn't turn his head: "I've seen it before."
The daughter-in-law of Jiang's family, Jiang Yan's biological mother, Jiang Qi, also walked around the mansion with such a big belly. When she met him, she smiled and said, "The third son is going to be my uncle!"
Later, he did become a younger uncle, but Jiang Qi's family died of dystocia, and his elder brother became old overnight. More than ten years have passed, and there is no reunion.
Compared with the anger of knowing that she was pregnant with Lu Jingxing's flesh and blood, he was more frightened when he saw her stomach.
When Mrs. Jiang was urging them to have children earlier, he never really took it seriously. He used it as an excuse and just wanted to get close to her. He didn't expect that one day she would really stand in front of him with such a big belly.
"How much do you like Lu Jingxing?"
I like him so much that I don't think much of him at all, and I like him so much that I'm willing to risk my life to give birth to a child for him
Accidentally, what was thinking in my heart, I asked directly.
The lingering low voice echoed throughout the study.
Li Huaiyu paused when he heard that, walked around to stand in front of him, glanced across his pale face, and asked without answering, "Are you sad?"
The suppressed emotions almost broke, Jiang Xuanjin's jaw tightened, and she looked down at her: "What do you think?"
"I think, if you are sad, I will be very happy." Huaiyu pursed her lips, and there was no smile in her eyes, "Because I was so sad that I was about to die when I was in the interrogation room of the death row."
He said that she was a romantic and merciful person.
He said, she doesn't deserve the word love.
It doesn't matter if she is wronged by anyone, no matter how serious the crime is, she will accept it with a smile, it's no big deal anyway.
But he can't, anyone can say that about her, but he can't.
"You liar." Jiang Xuanjin said hoarsely. "You made it clear before that one pile is one pile, and if you calculate it, you don't hate me."
"Do you believe what I say?" Huaiyu pursed her lips, "You have to remember, women are unreasonable, the more calmly they tell you that it doesn't matter, the more angry they are in their hearts. You didn't realize it until the end. Then she will take revenge on you."
"I'm angry too, can I take revenge?" He tightened his cuffs.
Huaiyu said generously: "Your Majesty, just come to me, and I will follow up with whatever tricks you have. But, don't involve others in the matter between you and me, right?"
"His Royal Highness is willing to bear it all?"
"Yes." She answered loudly.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xuanjin nodded: "Then please get ready, Your Highness."
After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves and went out the door without looking back.
Huaiyu looked up at his back. After the shadow completely disappeared at the door, he sat back in the chair, resting his chin in thought.
Is there something wrong with Jiang Xuanjin? If you stay in the first-tier city so persistently, don't really prepare some killer moves for her behind the scenes, right
Jiang Shen walked around the yard, and saw Xu Chuniang within two steps.
It's been cold recently, and she was wrapped up like a fur ball, squatting beside the flowerbed and shoveling soil. The back looks like a rabbit.
With a thought, he went up to have a look, and found that she was not tending flowers, but digging a half-yellow and not green grass.
"What are you doing this for?" He was puzzled.
The squatting rabbit was startled, looked up to see him, frowned, and lowered his head without saying a word.
Jiang Shen pursed his lips: "How long will you be angry?"
angry? Xu Chunian fiddled with the grass twice, and asked him: "If I don't get angry, can you and I reconcile as before?"
"Naturally." Jiang Shen looked down at her head, "He Li was originally impulsive, if you just nod, you and I will still be husband and wife."
"And then?" Xu Chuniang said softly, "I will continue to come back to you, to see you loving others, and cook a table of meals every day that you won't taste much? Second son, do you know what you want? Do you know what I want? what?"
Slightly startled. Jiang Shen frowned: "What do you... want?"
Xu Chuniang got up, lightly patted the mud on his hands, raised his eyes to look at him, and said, "I want a husband who is good to me wholeheartedly, never abandons me and hurts me, understands how to love me and pity me, can Second Young Master do that?" ?”
Impossible at first hearing, he couldn't do it with just the first word.
There are many kinds of people, some are born infatuated, love without regret; some are not at ease no matter what, they will meet someone they like, but they will not have the only one they like, travel around the world, tease others, and tease themselves.
Jiang Shen belongs to the second type. When he treats someone well, he is really good. Everyone feels that he has given his sincerity, and he is indeed very devoted. However, this investment is only for a period of time at the longest, and it gets bored in an instant, and becomes indifferent for no reason. Those who are praised by him will be thrown back to the ground by him.
He clearly remembers his every heartbeat, remembers the ups and downs of love, but if he wants to remember it. It's really difficult.
"I once thought that when the second son is tired, he will always want to stop, and I will accompany you when the time comes. For the rest of his life, I will end up with you by different routes." Xu Chuniang smiled softly, "But I didn't expect , I am the one who gets tired first."
When a young girl's love first begins. The enthusiasm that I am full of seems to be impenetrable, and I feel that I can love someone for the rest of my life, no matter what happens, as long as I am with him.
However, time can always prove what it means to be young and frivolous.
She clearly knew that she still hadn't forgotten him, and when she saw him, she would feel palpitations, get nervous, and couldn't stop thinking of many things.
However. She jumped over this pit, and it hurt twice, it looked okay from a distance, but she was scared when asked to jump again.
"Miss Xu." Chi Jin came back, raised his eyes to see Jiang Shen, walked up to her without saying anything, and handed her the flower pot she wanted, "This."
Xu Chunyong turned his head, took it with both hands, and knelt towards him: "Thank you, sir."
Jiang Shen's face darkened. Why is this man always around her like a ghost? I can see it every day, didn't Xu Chunian realize that this person was up to no good
Feeling upset, he stepped forward and wanted to talk, but Shuang Tian quickly came up to hold him back: "Young master, Lord Ziyang has a request."
While talking. While pulling him away from the flowerbed.
Chi Jin looked at him indifferently, his delicate eyes were calm. Looking at Jiang Shen, he was even more angry. After struggling for a while, he turned out of the moon gate and threw Shuangtian away: "What are you doing?"
Shuangtian wiped the sweat from his brow, and said in a low voice: "The servant has already inquired. No matter inside or outside the mansion, everyone respects that Master Chi Jin. What's the benefit of you confronting him head-on?"
"Respect?" Jiang Shen sneered, "It's just a face-to-face."
Shuangtian shook his head: "He is in the position of commanding the army now, and he has lost the reputation of face leader. The eldest princess did not restrain him, and she never stopped him when she saw that he was with Miss Xu."
Jiang Shen said with a dark face: "That's why I don't understand what the eldest princess is thinking! These people are all her men, and she doesn't care about her men?"
Shuangtian thought for a while, and said: "Actually, I have been here for so long. I have never seen anyone resting in the courtyard of the eldest princess. Except for Ziyang Jun who forcibly moved in a few days ago, even the shopkeeper Lu Da did not serve on weekdays. The rumored... is also a little different."
Not to mention that I haven't noticed it yet, but it's true when I say it. Jiang Shen froze for a moment, and said, "It's because it's inconvenient to be pregnant."
"Who knows." Shuangtian shook his head, "You'd better go see Lord Ziyang first, I heard from Chengxu that your lord is in a bad mood."
"When will he be in a better mood?" Jiang Shen curled his lips. Flicking his sleeves, he went to Jiang Xuanjin's room.
This person became more and more silent. When no one was around, he just stared out of the window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. His body was losing weight at a visible speed, and his face was as clear as jade, and he couldn't get rid of the thick cloud.
"You write something for her." Jiang Xuanjin said as soon as he entered the door, "Hurry up and use it."
Jiang Shen said angrily: "Do you think I am a ghostwriter on the street?"
Taking out the letter paper and pen and ink and putting them in front of him, Jiang Xuanjin took the pen and forced it into his hand.
Jiang Shen gave a soft "tsk", but still pinched the pen: "Say it."
