Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Thirty-Four Father and Son
The four of Xiao Shoudao sat there in a little embarrassment, not knowing how to speak. The originally thought-up rhetoric, at this moment, has long lost its meaning. What's more, the things in this palace originally belonged to the royal family. It was already a taboo for himself and others to see the king's plea.
"The ministers and others would like to thank the king for his magnanimity and save his lives for the ministers." Xiao Shougui suddenly got up and bowed and said.
"It seems that there are still people who understand, not all such fools." Li Hong thought to himself, got up and walked to Xiao Shougui's side and patted his arm, and said: "Get up, just understand, don't let you Speaking out, I just don’t want to lose the tongue. I can say it, but you can’t say pleading words. Otherwise, you’re guilty of royal taboos. I will naturally take this matter to my heart. Besides, Yiyang and Gaoan have always been with me. Yes, I am afraid they will bother me in my ears after I return to the palace."
"Dai Wang, this is the minister who prepared something for you." Xiao Hui stood up and said, and then he saw Mang Chung at the door and was carried in by the servants of the Pu Palace.
Li Hong frowned and looked at the big boxes that could fit two of him, frowned and asked: "What is this?"
Xiao Hui smiled slightly, and said ingeniously: "When the king opens it, I will find out."
Li Hong motioned to Xiaohan to open one of the boxes, and suddenly saw that the room suddenly became radiant and bright. As the fifth prince of Datang, he had never seen so many jewels stacked together.
Before I approached, I saw that the top layer of the box was covered with precious items such as pearl jade, agate, jade, etc., and you could vaguely see the glittering gold light from a corner of the box.
Li Hong's brows deepened. Xiao Hui and the four others watched Li Hong walk to the box, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, as long as Dai Wang likes and is willing to accept it, no matter what happens. Whether or not, they are set on the ship of the future king.
Li Hong laboriously took out a piece of gleaming gold from the corner of the box and weighed the weight. This should be the heaviest twelve gold ingots among ordinary gold ingots in this era. At this time, Chang'an could not even be used as currency, and most of it was used for collection. Moreover, during this period, the shape of gold ingots was limited to the limited shapes of horseshoe gold, linzhi gold, gold cake, and gold plate.
"How did you get these out of the palace?" Li Hong glanced at the official seal on the gold ingot, then threw it back into the box, took out a string of pearl necklaces and asked.
"This..." Xiao Hui's expression was a little unnatural, and after thinking about it, he said frankly: "This is already transported out of the palace before, and Concubine Xiao Shu took it out of the palace as a spare."
Li Hong glanced at the embarrassed Xiao Hui. It is estimated that these things were used by Concubine Xiao Shu to fight for the position of the queen and used to manage the affairs between the officials of the court and the court. I am afraid it was not expected that they were discarded before the management was completed. The common people. But it is also possible to use these things to save the lives of her three children from now on.
"Take it back and keep it. I am afraid that Concubine Xiao Shu has not had time to prepare the dowry for Yiyang and Gao An. These are the right to keep it as their dowry. By the way, I have left this pearl necklace. , I will return it to Yiyang personally when I go back to the palace." Concubine Xiao Shu really sacrificed his blood for the aftermath, and even took out the only pearl necklace that Yiyang liked.
"It's impossible to act as a king. These are not the meaning of Concubine Xiao Shu. They were decided by the ministers and other four people. They are all for the lives of the two princesses of Yiyang and Gao'an, and the lives of Yongwang Li Sujie." Xiao Shoudao said anxiously. It seemed to understand that Concubine Xiao Shu's spares were not for her own life, but to prevent her from losing the battle and using these treasures to save the lives of the three children.
Li Hong shook his head impatiently, and the childish voice said solemnly: "You take it back and keep it for the three of them. When will they spend it in the palace? They will be distributed to them when they get married. As for Li Sujie, wait for him. You can give it after you reach the fief. That's it, Xiaohan will see you off."
After speaking, Li Hong left without looking back, leaving Xiao Shoudao and the four people staring at each other, not knowing what to do. Few people did not expect that the gentle king who was still greeted with smiles, after seeing such a huge amount of gold and silver jewelry, instead of showing a look of greed and joy, but uncharacteristically, he forced them down. Dismissal.
Xiaohan has ordered the subordinates to recover the box, and then carried it out of the front hall. Urging the four people who did not know what to do to walk out of the Pu Palace.
Wang Jing did not come alone, but followed his uncle, Liu Shuang, who is the book from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to visit Li Hong. The purpose of this is naturally to add a bargaining chip to Dai Wang.
And Liu Shuang naturally knows that Wang Jing and the people of Qien Temple’s Qiuci people are in trouble, and he is also one of them. Without his help, after leaving Chang’an City, Datang Sanli Yiyi Station It’s difficult for them to pass all inspections without hindrance.
Li Hong just sat down in the front hall with Liu Shuang and Wang Jing. In the Nectar Hall of Tai Chi Palace, Yang Wu is reporting to Li Zhi about Li Hong's current situation during this period.
"Your Majesty, the Zhongshu ordered Liu Shuang and Jinyanghou Wangjing to visit the Dai Wang." Yang Wu said, lowering his head.
"Oh, why should Liu Shuang take the initiative to visit Hong'er?" Li Zhi asked strangely.
Yang Wu carefully considered his words, and said carefully: "When Dai Wang sent his palace maid to give you the crystal pendant, he was kidnapped on the way back. After Dai Wang made an unannounced visit, it was locked away by Ci'en Temple... ."
With a "bang", Li Zhi clapped his hands heavily on the case table, and said angrily: "What do you eat! Are all the people who protected him secretly by Li Jingmen dead? You can't protect a court lady! "
Yang Wu hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright, and said with a trembling: "Your majesty, the servants deserve to die, the servants only told them to protect the king’s safety that day, and never thought that the maid would be involved, and the kidnapping was done in a clean manner. If it weren’t for Bailu, the maid of the acting king, she left some secret signs in a hurry, I’m afraid it would be impossible to find out."
"Say the result!" Li Zhi grunted angrily.
"Your Majesty, the Dai Wang sent someone to visit Ci'en Temple unannounced last night. Although I could not fully detect it, I am 70% sure that Ci'en Temple robbed Dai Wang's court lady."
"What's the matter with Wang Jing and Liu Shuang!" Li Zhi gradually calmed down and asked.
"His Majesty, yesterday, the king looked for the code left by the court lady Bai Lu, and he ran into Wang Jing's carriage going to Ci'en Temple near the Ci'en Temple where the code disappeared, so the king met Wang Jing there.... "
"But Wang Jing is disrespectful to Hong'er? So today I invited Liu Shuang to apologize to the acting king? No, because of Li Hong’s character, if Wang Jing dared to offend him, then he could let Wang Jing Is there any other reason for being punished due to it?" Li Zhi is smart, and he is a very deep man in the city. From the words of Yang Wu, he is keenly aware that there must be something he doesn't know about.
"His Majesty, yes, Dai Wang suspected that Wang Jing was the one who hijacked the court lady Bai Lu, but it has not been finalized. Cheetah and Jingzhe, at this time, are inquiring about the news and investigating suspicious people at Ci'en Temple."
"But Li Hong has no evidence right now, and he is afraid that the court lady's life will be destroyed by the snake. But when Wang Jing and Liu Shuang visited Li Hong, they wanted to investigate Li Hong's attitude? But this?" Li Zhi closed He looked in thought for a while, then slowly opened his mouth, and the onlooker said clearly.
"Yes, the people sent by the servants are so rewarded."
"You Li Jingmen should be more vigilant. Since I took over Li Jingmen from my father, I have never asked. Do you know why this is?" Li Zhi looked on his knees. Yang Wu said, shrinking like dried shrimps.
"The slave and maidservant deserve to die. The slave has failed your majesty's trust. The slave and maid will take care of Lijingmen."
"Rectification is necessary. Now does the queen know that Li Hong's maid is lost?" Li Zhi asked with squinting eyes.
This is what he cares most about right now. If Li Hong makes any mistake outside, Wu Mei may be able to peel herself off. Li Hong is Wu Mei's dear! If Li Hong is a little unpredictable, he can't stop crying and having trouble with himself for several days, and Li Hong will not be able to escape punishment when that happens.
Originally, Li Hong's one-month deadline has expired, so he should return to the palace, but he once again approved Li Hong privately to continue staying in Chang'an City. This crime was placed in Wu Mei's place. I am afraid it is a good excuse for her to chew her tongue. Li Zhi shuddered when he thought of this.
"I haven't told the queen to know." Yang Wu said on his knees.
"Well, this matter must not be made known to the queen. We will send more people to protect Li Hong secretly, and..." Li Zhi suddenly paused, got up and walked around in the palace, thinking about it. Should I intervene by myself, or let Li Hong solve it alone.
He believes that he can solve it without intervening in Li Hong, but he is afraid that this kid is too wild, something that was originally not big~IndoMTL.com~In case the city of Chang'an is full of ups and downs, I am afraid by then I can't hide the queen, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Li Zhi, who made up his mind, kicked Yang Wu, who was still kneeling on the ground, motioned to him to get up, and then said: "Secretly ordered Duan Xuanbao from Dali Temple and Liu Rengui, Shangshu from the Criminal Ministry to see him."
"Yes, the slave and maid will send someone to find them into the palace." Yang Wu bowed back and turned around to send someone to notify the two of them to enter the palace.
Li Zhi shouted again in the Ganlu Temple: "Come back."
Yang Wu had to walk into the hall again, watching Li Zhi thinking with his back, and then Li Zhi leaned over on the case table and took out the paper and wrote a few lines in a hurry.
"The fire paint is sealed, and they are ordered to follow the orders of the king, or they can act cheaply depending on the situation." After Li Zhi handed over to Yang Wu, he continued: "Inform Li Hong, if you have trouble, you can find these two Talk to each other, but you must never give me trouble in the city! Also, he must be seriously warned...warned him...just that his mother is very angry and acts carefully by herself."
In the end, Li Zhi felt that his wife's strict control could not be corrected, but in order not to anger Wu Mei, he still had to ventilate with Li Hong. In this way, as long as their father and son are of the same mind, Wu Mei will be angry, and he will not make any difference with them.
In the palace of Pu Wang, Li Hong said to Liu Shuang: "Although you are in the palace every day, it is the first time that Li Hong has seen you. Under your governance, the father of the emperor has always I have never bothered to work, and my father has always been proud to have a minister like you to assist him in governing the country."
Liu Shuang is about fifty, the whole person is white and fat, kind eyebrows and good-eyed, he smiled and said: "The king has passed the award, although the minister is in the post of the governor of the book, but if there is no enlightenment and support from your majesty I support, I am afraid I will not be able to go to the Zhongshu Province to operate as usual, and to advise my Datang, all this is my majesty’s great blessing."
