Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Nine hundred thirty-nine: The distress of the eldest son

He was not deeply involved in the world, or as the Prince of Datang, he did not have a clear outline and understanding of people's minds and strategies. He unknowingly began to be regarded as the Prince of Datang, so he started around All kinds of people appeared, and they were close to him openly and secretly, showing goodwill to him, hoping that one day they could enter his Li Ye circle.

Although Li Hong has not established a crown, it does not mean that the people below will not try to figure out the holy will in private, and will not fail to take the queen's eldest son Li Ye as the rightful prince, and then begin to make political investments in advance.

Li Ye was able to refuse anyone thousands of miles away from the beginning. Before Li Hong was established, he was just like everyone else. He was just an ordinary Prince of Tang Dynasty. I also thought more or less naturally that the prince of Datang must be his own.

But before he became a prince, neither Li Ye himself nor Pei Wanying took the position of the prince of Datang as something that Li Ye should have for granted.

Li Ye can also keep this in mind at the same time, so he didn't float away at such a young age because of the overt and secret pursuit and flattery of some people, and he always abide by Pei Wanying's reminders and warnings to him.

But Suizhou Governor Pei Qing is different. As his cousin, who is also the son of Pei Xingjian’s younger brother Pei Xingyan, he is also considered a relative of the emperor. No matter how cautious he is, he cannot guard himself every day. family.

As a prince, it is not impossible to associate with relatives in the mother and queen family, but it is reasonable.

It's just that he didn't expect that as his relationship with his cousin Pei Xuan, who was also studying at the Imperial College, is getting better and better, a big net has slowly covered him.

Everything happened before Li Ye was not aware of it. With the help of time, Li Ye would occasionally get the consent of his mother to go out to the palace to have dinner with them, and even went to a few times. The celebrity banquet handed over by the uncle himself.

In Li Ye's view, his uncle Pei Qing has always been upright and honest, especially in front of him. As the governor of Suizhou, he has always shown a cool breeze with two sleeves.

That’s the case. Two days ago, he was noticed by Guo Jingzhi, a scholar who had personally decided the case for his father in Luoyang. Now, as Sima Suizhou, he took his boss, Pei Qing, into embezzlement. The violating the law and the faction of party formation were investigated.

Because of his status as a royal relative, and Pei Qing deliberately or unintentionally under the banner of the eldest son, some officials began to accept bribes from officials from all over Suizhou. Even some officials in the capital were attracted by him. When he arrived, he hoped that one day after Li Ye was established as the prince, they could enter the East Palace and plan ahead for the future.

Li Ye didn't know all of this at all. He even went to Pei Qing's banquet very often and met some officials from other places and capitals. When in doubt, Pei Qing would prevaricate over by coincidence.

And Li Ye did not delve into this matter, and did not think about it carefully. How come there will be such a coincidence every time. When Pei Qing accepts gifts from officials everywhere, he will also choose some good ones. The stuff was sent to the palace.

In the beginning, Li Ye would still refuse, but Pei Qing went from simple to complex. In the beginning, there were some objects that were not valuable or even on the table. Slowly they began to become heavier and heavier. In the process Naturally, Li Ye's vigilance was completely polished.

So now, Pei Qing couldn't help but feel that Li Ye was drawn in. With Li Ye's reputation, he established a future prince official circle.

Pei Wanying sighed helplessly, but she didn't know what to say. This cousin didn't like it very much. When she hadn't entered the palace, the relationship between herself and your majesty was limited to only a small part of it. A cousin who has never been in his own house began to become more diligent.

Pei Xingjian lived in Anxi and Tibet for a long time, and then did not stay in Chang'an for a few years. He and Chen Jingzhi, the father of Qinghan sister, worked in the Quanzhou Navy.

In those years, Pei Wanying had been living with her mother in Chang'an, and her cousin and second uncle seldom went to visit her and her mother.

Back when my father was still in Tibet, the door of my own house was very clean and indifferent. However, since my father came back, the relatives in the family suddenly changed their faces, and they all became very towards themselves. Mother became enthusiastic.

Fortunately, Pei Wanying, as the queen of the Datang Mother's World, has always abides by her duty and never participated in court affairs, and she has never even heard the pillow wind in Li Hong's ears.

For these relatives in the family, I have never said good things about one person. As for their official career, Pei Wanying never asks. Only when going home from the palace, facing so many more relatives at home, Will ask a few words out of politeness, but try not to involve important matters in the court.

Cautiously, walking on thin ice for so many years, seeing Li Ye grow up a little bit, the relatives in the family did not make trouble just because he was a queen.

Although your Majesty has never established a prince, Pei Wanying, who has always been indifferent, has never mentioned this before Li Hong.

But who could have imagined that such a thing happened around Li Ye now. As the eldest son of the emperor, if he was implicated by Pei Qing and others, he would not be able to bear the blame at all.

"It's over, you have been trapped by someone, and your uncle and cousin have cheated you. Your father and the emperor must not be able to spare you." Gentle curled his lips, and suddenly found out that he gave birth to a princess for Li Hong. One thing can't be better.

At the very least, there will be no such annoying things, and no one will slander, bluff, and pull parties to establish their own power and interest circles outside the palace under your name.

Pei Wanying gave a helpless look at her heartless tenderness. A few days ago, she envied that she had given birth to two princes for her majesty, and now she began to feel that she would have given birth to a princess.

"Let's just say a few words, you should look like a concubine." Pei Wanying glanced at Li Ye who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly.

"Mother and concubine are helpless, even your queen can't help you. You should tell the truth to your father and the emperor honestly. As for your mother and queen, you should not listen to any suggestions, so that you will not get In front of your father and emperor, your mother’s queen was tired.” At the end, she said softly, there was a pun in Pei Wanying's ears.

I couldn’t help but gave a gentle look that was not correct, and then said to Li Ye: “Get up, if you think about how to tell your father, then you go to see your father now, if you don’t think about it , I’m here to figure out when and when to go."

"Erchen has thought about it, he will go now." Li Ye, who stood up, took a deep breath, and after saluting Pei Wanying and Gentle, turned and walked outside.

Looking at Li Ye's still immature figure leaving, she felt a little bit unbelievable. He gently placed an index finger on his red lips, looked again at the figure that disappeared from the door, and then turned his head to look at With a calm expression on her face, Pei Wanying suddenly said anxiously: "Are you not in a hurry? You...you should think of a way for him too, do you think I'm getting in the way here? Then I'll call Ye'er Come back."

Pei Wanying sighed speechlessly, and glanced again: "What's the urgency for me? You left in the morning if you were in the way, and let you sit until now?"

"Hey, do you really do not understand or do you not understand? Ye'er is the eldest son of the prince, so you are not afraid that this will affect him from being appointed as the prince?" Gentleness is incredible. Nothing, don't let the eldest son of the prince inherit the position of prince.

"That’s your Majesty’s business. He should have a headache. He should think about who is the prince. As long as your Majesty thinks which prince is suitable, he should choose which prince is the best. You don’t have to be the eldest son. , And now that Li Ye hasn’t been established, someone has started to make his mind. Who knows what will happen if he is established as the prince. Let me say..."

Pei Wanying quietly lowered her voice, and then looked softly and said sneakily: "I don't like Li Ye as the prince~ IndoMTL.com~ At least I don't have to worry about being afraid, as long as I can live a peaceful life. , In my opinion is the most suitable."

"No pursuit, no wonder Li Ye's temperament is more and more like you. Sooner or later, he will completely deviate from you, but the personality of Princess Leaf is not like you, and is somewhat similar to your Majesty." Turning his head, thinking of the beautiful princess Tang said.

"It was spoiled by your majesty, lawless, no princess at all, and Li Lingyue, who didn't teach Li Ye anything." Pei Wanying looked dissatisfied when she thought of her sister-in-law.

When she was seven or eight years old, Li Lingyue began to teach Li Ye to make-up. Once, the heavy makeup she painted almost took Li Hong's breath away. The little princess who carved and carved made Li Lingyue's heart. It’s like the virgin next to the great dancing god, with a thick layer of foundation on her face, and two pomegranates on her cheeks. The red dots on the brows don’t know if the color is useless, or How did it look like a mole.

"Anyway, I won't let Li Mei get along with Li Lingyue alone, if it is damaged by Li Lingyue..."

"Just follow you? How old is Li Mei? The heavenly palace lady is not holding fluffy toys. They are all weapons of knives, guns and sticks, axes, hooks and forks. You mother concubine don’t care. Be careful with me. Come and raise them in my temple." Pei Wanying felt that Gentle and Li Hong are two irresponsible parents. Gentle is even more gentle, typically regardless of birth.

"That can't work, that's my dear, what should I do without her? I still want to pass on my martial arts to Li Mei." Gentle like an old hen, jumped and said immediately.

The two women sat in the palace and continued to chat about each other. They didn't worry about the anxiety that their eldest son was walking toward the Zichen Palace.
