Chapter 603 The stubborn prince
"Husband, get up."
"immediately."
Jia Pingan opened his eyes and smiled confidently, "It's another sunny day."
He moved his head, "Oops!"
Severe neck pain.
"Stiff neck."
Jia Ping'an just moved a little, but his neck hurts.
Wei Wushuang was frightened and ran over to take a look.
"Help."
Jia Ping'an was lifted up stiffly, screaming continuously.
"Aye!"
The little padded jacket is here.
Su Ho came in, couldn't help laughing, and then threw DouDou on the bed, "DuDou is going to find you, Aye, to play!"
"Aye!"
Doudou climbed over like a cross-country race, Jia Pingan tilted his head, and immediately screamed.
DouDou was frightened and stood there in a daze, staring at his father with dark eyes.
"Go around..."
Jia Pingan stretched out his hand.
Stiff neck is too uncomfortable.
I can’t practice, so I bring the bowl to my mouth and plan slowly when I eat breakfast.
Getting on the horse, Jia Ping'an said, "Bao, be steady."
Abao is worthy of being a four-wheel drive vehicle, and the shock absorption effect is also good.
When I arrived at Baiqi, I felt very uncomfortable when I dismounted.
Jia Pingan awkwardly entered the duty room.
"A stiff neck?"
Mingjing coughed dryly, "I can get a stiff neck!"
"Really?"
Jia Ping'an was overjoyed.
"I learned from others when I was in the Taoist temple." Ming Jing looked proud, "With my help, half a day at most will be enough."
This is somewhat interesting.
"Then try."
Ming Jing walked behind him, pressed the muscles on both sides of the cervical spine, "Baiqidai..."
"Interest Free This Month!"
Jia Ping'an was so bold.
After a massage, let alone Jia Pingan turned his neck, and it was mostly healed.
Awesome!
"Marquis of Wuyang."
Bao Dong appeared like a mole, "Xu Shangshu is looking for you."
Jia Pingan stood up, his neck still aching.
But the good is too much.
"Thank you very much."
Behind him, Ming Jing said proudly: "It's a trivial matter."
Everyone has their own pursuits. For example, Ming Jing likes to buy, buy, buy.
What is Li Yifu pursuing?
Xu Jingzong went out, leaving room for Jia Pingan and Li Yifu.
This turned out to be a meeting.
Li Yifu smiled like a peach blossom in ten miles, and Jia Pingan smiled like a top ten boy on stage to accept the award.
Why is this old thief looking for me?
From then on, Li Yifu will start a very popular official career.
But people can’t be too hot, it’s better to lie down after getting hot.
This is Master Jia's experience.
Li Yifu smiled and said: "My grandfather was an official before, and I moved to Shu. But I didn't rely on Mengyin. My articles were praised by others, and Li Gong, the inspection ambassador of Jiannan Road, recommended me to Beijing as an official. Then It's just a ceremony for the disciples."
"Later, the old man's article was praised by many people, and he came up step by step, and followed His Majesty who was still the prince at that time..."
What does the old ghost say?
"The old man said this just to tell you that the old man is not the kind of crafty who relies on flattery to flatter his superiors."
Li Yifu looked calm, "I have taken refuge in Your Majesty and Queen, some people say that I am a traitor, but if I am not like this, Changsun Wuji will kill me..."
This era is actually no different from the later Song and Ming Dynasties, but anyone who becomes the emperor's confidant will be denounced as a traitor by the mainstream society.
Li Yifu said mockingly: "Why are the emperor's confidantes denounced as traitors? It's all because those people regard the emperor as the enemy and want to compete with the emperor for power."
Li Mao really deserves to be Li Mao.
Li Yifu smiled and said, "What do Marquis Wuyang think?"
These words can be called official secrets, and they immediately penetrated the way of being an official.
"In the knowledge passed down from family to family, these words are inevitable."
This is a show of favor.
But he looked down on Jia Pingan.
"The Tang Dynasty is divided into three parts." Jia Pingan felt that he could teach Li Mao a lesson in reverse.
So what if you know the secrets of the aristocratic family?
Do you know the opinions of the masters of dragon slaying in later generations?
Jia Ping'an smiled very calmly, "One is the emperor; the other is the officials, dignitaries, and powerful landlords; the third is ordinary people."
Dragon Slayer tells us that classes are different, so don't expect them to speak for your interests.
Xu Jingzong is outside.
He was worried that Jia Ping'an would be fooled by Li Yifu, and he was going to rush in at a critical moment and stop drinking.
But hearing this, he couldn't help but forget his original intention.
"The first emperor said that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. It's true!" Jia Pingan first came to be politically correct, linking his remarks to the first emperor, "Those people just want to grab more The power and interests of the emperor, the emperor is regarded as an opponent upwards, the key is downwards, they will take advantage of it..."
Xu Jingzong outside, Li Yifu inside, plus Jia Pingan.
If Changsun Wuji was here, he would definitely say that demons are dancing.
"Li Xiang only saw those people vying for power with the emperor, but can he see the disadvantages of their plundering?"
Li Yifu did not earn his name, "You mean...those mermaid people, for a long time, the people are in dire straits, and then..."
"Why should Prime Minister Li be shocked?" Jia Pingan smiled and said, "It's not like you don't know..."
Li Yifu was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Jia Pingan said: "You just don't take the people seriously."
Who doesn't know the consequences of people's livelihood, but why do they turn a blind eye?
All kinds of reasons come together: Aren’t the common people just cattle and horses?
Li Yifu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the young man in front of him needed to re-examine.
"The old man came here today, just to talk to Wuyanghou."
Smiling with a knife hidden in his heart, Jia Pingan really wanted to see if he was holding a knife in his hand.
"Sister Li, please tell me."
Jia Ping'an didn't look cautious at all.
"The old man is His Majesty's confidant, and so is Wuyanghou. The so-called cooperation will benefit both, what does Wuyanghou think?"
Is this to sum up?
Not right.
This is a gesture!
Jia Ping'an thought of Ajie.
Li cat, Li cat!
Li Yifu must have done this to show his elder sister, that's why he hired Xu Jingzong to be a middleman.
As soon as he said these words, if Jia Pingan refused, he would be ignorant of good and evil.
Jia Ping'an smiled and said: "The way is different, so we don't conspire with each other."
We are not on the same path!
Li Yifu still had a smile on his face, stood up and nodded, "So the old man knows."
He opened the door and went out, and when he saw Xu Jingzong who was eavesdropping outside, he said in surprise: "Xu Shangshu, you..."
Old Xu said in embarrassment: "The old man forgot something and just wanted to come back to get it."
Look, Li Yifu clearly knew that Xu Jingzong must be eavesdropping outside, but he looked shocked.
This acting is awesome.
But Xu Jingzong wanted to get into the cracks in the ground in embarrassment.
The acting skills are too bad, and the coping is too bad.
But thinking of the weird things that Xu Jingzong did, Jia Pingan felt that all these were just floating clouds.
Li Yifu nodded slightly, and left in a chic way.
Xu Jingzong complained when he came in, "Li Yi's mansion is now in the imperial court as chancellor, and he is so popular, it's fine if you don't join forces with him, why bother to say that you don't agree with each other, it's embarrassing!"
Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, Li Yi's mansion is a man with a knife hidden in his smile. He only cares about his interests and has no bottom line. I will be with him... After death, he has no face to see his ancestors."
"You, you!" Xu Jingzong muttered, "He will definitely go to the queen and speak ill of you."
…
Li Yifu immediately entered the palace.
"The Marquis of Wuyang has a different opinion, so we don't conspire with each other."
Wu Mei glanced at him, "Understood."
Li Yifu immediately left the palace.
Back to the duty room, he said to his confidant: "Jia Ping'an is quite talented and has a unique vision."
Li Yifu was quite proud, so his confidants felt weird, "Sanggong actually praised him?"
"What he said divided the people of the Tang Dynasty, and even more implicitly pointed out that the people can't count on the powerful and powerful, they can only count on the emperor. And the emperor can't count on these people, but can only count on the support of the people. But there are powerful and powerful people in the middle , looking at each other, but unable to join hands."
Confidant shocked.
Li Yifu smiled and said: "He is a talented young man, but he doesn't know what is good or bad."
The confidant whispered: "Why don't you let the words out?"
"The powerful and powerful are the enemies of the emperor, and they have been for a long time. If you say it...it just makes people laugh."
…
Shao Peng left the palace.
"Why did you reject Li Yifu?"
"Because he is a bad person." Jia Pingan threw out this answer.
Well!
These words made sense, but Shao Peng sneered, "Look at those officials and enemies who can work together, isn't it just mere hypocrisy?"
Jia Ping'an couldn't help laughing, "I'm worried that I won't be able to help teasing him."
That's all.
Shao Peng went back to the palace to report.
"Pingan still has such a temper?" Wu Mei suddenly fell silent.
"Auntie!"
Li Hong is here.
Wu Mei smiled and said, "School is over?"
"yes."
Li Hong saluted, then looked at Wu Mei's expression, "Is Aunt unhappy?"
Wu Mei was pleasantly surprised, "How did Goro know?"
Li Hong approached, "When A Niang is unhappy, she looks cold, even if she smiles, she is cold..."
Wu Mei turned her head, "Goro is filial."
Shao Peng rejoiced in his heart, "His Royal Highness is pure filial piety, and yesterday he asked the queen if the meal was delicious."
"Aniang, why are you unhappy?"
Li Hong asked seriously.
Wu Mei wanted to coax him at first, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was inappropriate, "Marquis Wuyang refuses to join forces with others, Auntie is not happy."
She felt that Li Hong might not understand this matter, and then she would analyze it for him.
This is the prince, and she also wants him to live a comfortable life, but there are countless challenges ahead, how can I not learn these things?
Li Hong was puzzled for a moment, and Wu Mei secretly smiled.
"Aniang, is that person a good person or a bad person?"
Well!
Wu Mei found herself unable to answer.
Is Li Yifu a good guy or a bad guy?
From the perspective of the emperor and her, Li Yifu is a good person.
But if you look at it from the perspective of secular morality, Li Yifu is a bad person.
There is no good or bad in the eyes of the emperor, this is what Li Zhi said.
Which answer should I tell him?
Wu Mei pondered.
After a long time, she said, "You are the prince..."
Li Hong frowned, "Aniang, last time you said that I was your and Aye's child first."
In an instant, Wu Mei was hit by this sentence, and she waved her arms to hold him in her arms, "That man is not a good person."
Li Hong held his head high and said, "Then why join forces with the bad guys?"
It was the first time that Wu Mei showed embarrassing emotions. Li Zhi was just about to come in, and when he saw it, he thought it was funny, so he stopped.
"That... because the bad guys can help you!"
Li Hong shook his head, "Aniang, this is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Now Wu Mei is more like a woman from an ordinary family, competing with her own children.
Li Zhi couldn't help smiling.
Li Hong raised his head and said solemnly: "If you need someone to help, why don't you find a good person?"
Li Zhi quietly turned and went out, Wang Zhongliang threatened: "Don't say that your Majesty has come."
Under the gaze of Li Hong's pure eyes, Wu Mei said like a ghost: "Yes! We should join hands with good people."
But most of the good people have problems with their ability to do things. Many times the superiors need people to do dirty things, the good people have their own moral values and refuse to do them, but the bad people are willing to do them.
Li Hong smiled, "Aniang corrects her mistakes, she is a gentleman."
Wu Mei couldn't help but laugh, "Can you still reason with A Niang?"
Shao Peng and others burst out laughing.
Li Zhi, who had not gone far away, heard the laughter, and said with a smile, "Goro is pure."
Wang Zhongliang also thinks the prince is very good.
"Your Majesty, please see Li Yifu."
Li Zhi said lightly: "Do you want to talk about the matter with Jia Ping'an?"
"I don't know."
"This matter..."
Li Zhi originally wanted to summon him, but he thought of that sentence, "Just say I'm not free."
—If you want help, why not find a good one?
He is the emperor, and he knows that there must be people who do dirty work around the emperor, such as Li Yifu.
But facing the innocent eyes of the child...
"I should indulge myself once in a while."
Later, someone from the emperor came and rewarded the prince with some dishes.
"Why did Aye reward the dish?"
Li Hong was a little curious.
The visitor said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that His Highness has done well in studies recently."
So Li Hong began to eat with peace of mind.
After eating, it's time to go back and get ready for bed.
Lying on the bed, Li Hong fell asleep contentedly.
At some point, he heard crying.
When adults hear crying in the middle of the night, they will probably be scared and hide under the quilt.
But Li Hong got out of bed by himself, "Open the door!"
The servant who accompanied the room just woke up, "Your Highness, do you want a horse?"
Li Hong shook his head, "Open the door."
The servant opened the door, and Li Hong stepped over the threshold to go out.
He followed the cry to the right, and the servant hurriedly woke up several servants on duty at night.
Li Hong has already turned around.
A court lady crouched there crying.
"why are you crying?"
The court lady raised her head in astonishment, and seeing that it was the prince, she knelt down in panic, "I disturbed the prince..."
Li Hong asked again, "Why are you crying?"
The court lady shook her head, Li Hong said with a straight face, "Speak."
When the little child opened his mouth, the majesty came naturally.
The court lady tremblingly said: "Nu... Nu's mother is dead."
Li Hong turned around, "Sleep."
The maid got up, and the servant approached and cursed: "Bitch, you have disturbed His Highness, get out!"
You should never expect others to empathize with your tragic situation. Outsiders feel more incompatible with your situation. I thought, why are you telling me this?
So those who like to complain and complain are very popular, and gradually many people will alienate him.
On the second day, Li Hong got up and had breakfast.
"What's the name of the maid who cried last night?" He asked, yawning.
"Your Highness, the name is Wang Xia."
"Go to Aye's place." Li Hong was about to set off.
The servant in charge beside him, Zeng Xianglin, stepped forward, his brows were all calm, "Your Highness, you shouldn't go to His Majesty's place today."
Li Hong is getting older, Li Zhi and Wu Mei have a lot of things to do in the morning, so they ignore him and let him have breakfast by himself.
Li Hong glanced at Zeng Xianglin, "Go to Aye."
Zeng Xianglin bowed his head, "Yes."
This His Royal Highness the prince seems to be kind, but he can't be stopped when he is stubborn.
"Hurry up, or His Majesty will finish eating."
Zeng Xianglin urged everyone.
Li Zhi is already eating.
While eating, he was thinking about the court affairs.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."
Li Zhi was surprised, then smiled and said, "Why is he here? Let him in quickly."
Li Hong came in, saluted and said, "Aye, I have something to ask Aye."
The child didn't turn the corner as soon as he opened his mouth, but Li Zhi was quite happy, "You say, if it's a serious matter, I will agree."
Wang Zhongliang took a look at the prince, thinking what else to do, probably some children's ideas.
Li Hong said: "Aye, I have a maid named Wang Xia over there. His aunt is dead. I want her to go home and have a look."
Wang Zhongliang was stunned.
"Your Highness." The emperor is not good at persuading such things, so Wang Zhongliang can only say, "No matter who it is, once it enters the palace, it will have nothing to do with the outside world..."
Just like Wu Mei back then, unless she got mixed up to the point where the emperor favored her, her home outside the palace would become a place she could never return to.
"Why?" Li Hong was puzzled.
Wang Zhongliang smiled wryly, "Your Highness, this...is a rule."
Li Hong ignored him, and walked over to Li Zhi's case, "Her mother died, and I will definitely feel distressed. Last time, my mother was sick, and I felt uncomfortable for a long time... Aye, let her go home Look at Auntie."
Li Zhi looked at him silently and nodded for a long time.
The biggest rule in the palace is the words of the emperor.
Li Hong laughed, and then took his leave.
Li Zhi ordered: "Get some more food."
The emperor and the crown prince had dinner together, and Wu Mei asked why after learning about it.
"His Highness is going to speak to His Majesty for a court lady."
Wu Mei's eyes had some unknown meaning.
"The maid's mother passed away, and someone who was out of the palace happened to know about it, and told her when she came back. She cried outside the palace at night, and woke up His Highness."
Wu Mei nodded, looked at the memorial, and suddenly ordered: "Go and investigate this matter."
"yes."
The matter was quickly found out. Wang Xia's mother passed away the day before yesterday. The person who went out to handle errands had some friendship with Wang Xia and was entrusted by her to bring some money she had saved to her family.
"Queen, Jiang Han will punish the person who leaves the palace severely."
"Jiang Han is also playing tricks." Wu Mei said flatly: "Since Wu Lang said it, then forget it."
Wang Xia didn't say a word when she came back, but when she saw Li Hong, her eyes were full of gratitude.
When Shao Peng casually said this, Jia Pingan couldn't help laughing.
After a long time, Concubine Xiao Shu's two daughters were no longer young, and no one cared about them in the palace. Later, when Li Hong learned about it, he went to intercede with his mother in person before he could leave the palace.
This child has a good heart, and he can be called a rare good seed in the old Li family.
"Old Shao, the prince is a good prince."
"We know." Shao Peng was also quite emotional, "The prince is kind-hearted, and he feels uncomfortable when he sees people suffering. Given time, he will definitely..."
Compared with Li Xian and others, Li Hong has a huge advantage.
But Jia Pingan thought of tuberculosis, "Old Shao, pay attention to the people around His Highness, whoever coughs, separate them first, ask a medical officer to see them, and don't come back until they get better."
"We are safer than you."
Seeing Jia Pingan's serious expression, Shao Peng added, "Of course not."
…
Good night!
