Chapter 20: The Emperor's Understanding
The winner is the king, and the loser is the loser, and the three princes sit on their chairs with sharp swords and luxurious clothes, their faces full of depression and frustration.
A failure means countless efforts, countless layouts, countless times of hard work and sweat, he is a prince who is no match for a stinky boy of the prince's family, shame, shame, shame, loss of face, majesty and sweep the floor.
It's just a failure, what you lose may be the right to inherit, the right to inherit the throne, higher than the sky, heavier than the earth, don't say Emperor Li, that is, those royal clansmen will look down on it, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is the wrong object, what is Huang Xi's identity, is the second son of the Li Wangye's family, the status of the Li Wangye in the royal family is very low, at least the vast majority of the royal family relatives look down on him, he was born noble, he actually lost to a second son, what is the face to compete for the qualification for the throne.
As for the lost treasure, he didn't even have the idea of wanting it, losing face, losing the treasure, it doesn't mean that the royal family will also lose face, thinking of this, the third prince clenched his sword and said with a fierce expression, "This matter is not over, I swear, where you fall, you will stand up, Huang Xi, let's see."
"Father-in-law, bother, my mother wants to meet the emperor, there is something important, please be accommodating, accommodating"
The son is noble by his mother, it has always been true, the mother of the third prince He Guifei has a high status, second only to the queen, she knows that the stakes are very high, if she doesn't help the child, no one will help, the top priority is to get the understanding of the emperor, the emperor does not pursue it, and the others dare not be presumptuous.
This matter should not be late, she hurried to the upper study, and suddenly saw that the guard was heavily guarded, many guards with weapons were standing or patrolling majestically, and many eunuchs and palace maids were kneeling on the side of the door, waiting at any time, which showed that the emperor was in the upper study, and he could only hope that the emperor did not know, so there was a turn for the better.
"Niangniang, the emperor has a decree, without the emperor's summons, no one is allowed to enter the study for half a step, even if it is a big thing, you still go back the same way"
"When did the emperor order it, and who else was inside?"
didn't see the emperor, Concubine He Guifei was not in a hurry, she knew that Emperor Li usually didn't see anyone, there was only one situation, that is, the battle report in front had just arrived, there was no trivial matter in state affairs, no matter how big the family affairs were, it was also a trivial matter, and Emperor Lihuang was busy with military affairs and had no time to take care of others, which was also expected.
"Boom"
He Guifei coughed lightly, waved her hand, and the maid behind her immediately stepped forward and stuffed a bag of things into the hands of the chief eunuch, the chief manager's face immediately smiled into a flower, showing a flattering expression, who can't get along with, and can't get along with money, he lowered his voice and said: "Half an hour ago, the Minister of Military Affairs and the prince of Li were inside, I heard the emperor being angry and smashing the sound of the cup, the emperor is angry, Niangniang, you better go back"
"Well, the emperor is really hard, have you heard some rumors about the third prince recently?"
He Guifei pretended to inadvertently ask, her heart was about to jump out when she asked, it was about her son's future, she couldn't be as calm as usual, Emperor Lihuang knew and didn't know that it was completely two endings, if Emperor Lihuang already knew, there was basically no room for recovery, the third prince completely withdrew from the battle for the throne, and could only be a prince who had no right to support the elderly in the future, if she didn't know, then she would have a chance to remedy.
"Niangniang, I don't know what you're talking about, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, the slave has been serving the emperor around, the slave hasn't heard of it, the emperor is natural"
As the chief eunuch, you need to pay attention to your words and deeds at all times, you must say what you should say, and you can't say that you should not be killed, the other eunuchs are all his subordinates, they are subordinates and their old enemies, which eunuch chief is not stepping on the corpse of his predecessor.
Love money and cherish their own lives even more, those masters, the most taboo slave's elbow turned out, not to mention the things related to the prince, implicated in it, small things are also big things, in the face of He Guifei's questioning, he understood that eighty percent of the three princes were in trouble, and the mother came to rest the matter.
I found that there were a few eunuchs in the distance, each holding a thick stack of folds, walking towards this side, Emperor Li is not going to court today, there is nothing important, there is no need to alarm Emperor Li, so many folds do not need to be sent over at all, it seems that there is a cat greasy.
The chief eunuch's eyes were very sharp, and he saw from afar that the color of the fold was yellow, this was the impeachment fold, thinking of He Guifei's abnormal behavior, he secretly complained in his heart, this benefit, it is really good to enjoy it, take the benefit to do something, he turned around and whispered to the eunuchs behind him: " The emperor has decreed, without the emperor's summons, no one is allowed to enter the study for half a step, even if it is a big thing, let those few little rabbits who don't open their eyes send the music to the council hall, and then go to receive the punishment themselves, each of them will be beaten 50 sticks, and tell the executioners, if they can still get up within a month, I want you to look good"
"Slag"
After listening to this, the eunuchs looked at each other and hurriedly replied, they understood in their hearts that the father-in-law clearly wanted the lives of those eunuchs, only 50 sticks, who could guarantee that they would not get up for a month, only by beating to the death, beating to death could they ensure that they did not get up, and they could give away their lives if they were sent to the fold, which was really unlucky.
"Come on, pass the meal immediately"
"Servant Honor"
Don't look at the chief eunuch talking to others, he has been paying attention to the inside, pricking up his ears, as soon as he heard the voice of the emperor, he quickly knelt down and shouted, worthy of being the chief eunuch, he reacted quickly, good slave, He Guifei's entourage looked at it with admiration.
"Long live the emperor, the concubines have important matters to discuss"
Hearing Emperor Li's voice, Concubine He was very happy, such a good opportunity not to speak, and disturbed Emperor Lihuang after a while, for fear that she would offend the chief eunuch, so she hurriedly saluted, and said in a somewhat eager tone.
"Oh, I know, I'm busy with state affairs, concubine, you go back first, little donkey, tonight you set up a fight with Concubine He"
Emperor Lili was a little surprised, usually He Guifei was dignified and decent, familiar with etiquette, and would never come over so recklessly, he thought about it and said in a somewhat gentle tone.
"The concubine's decree, the emperor is safe"
At this time, He Guifei showed a satisfied smile on her face, as long as the emperor went to her, everything was easy to say, she was confident that she could make Emperor Li punish lightly, but there was a scar in her heart, this scar did not come from others, from her own son, the third prince, a prince could not fight the second son of Prince Li, it was really embarrassing.
"Servant Honor"
The eyes and legs are fast, the chief eunuch and the little donkey hurriedly ran to the back of He Guifei and knelt down and kowtowed, borrowing him two eggs, he didn't dare to stand in front of He Guifei and kneel, He Guifei is the master, he is a slave, and the slave ran to the front of the master to salute, not looking for death.
A full moon hung high in the night sky, and the warm moonlight shone on the earth, exuding a faint coolness in the air. A dark cloud gradually approached the bright and flawless moon, and at this time, the emperor set up He Guifei.
Ai Concubine, what is the matter with me
Emperor Li hugged He Guifei, there was always a trace of guilt in the heart of Emperor Li, that trace of guilt came from the guarantee of the past, when he was still the prince, He Guifei was in the cardamom years, the two of them loved each other, young and vigorous, he insisted on marrying He Guifei as the concubine, the emperor was furious at that time, the prince's concubine, the future queen, how could he decide so casually, to pick is also for political purposes, the future queen is first of all strong, that is, the mother's power is strong, without the support of a strong mother's power, there is no chance at all, followed by the tall, beautiful, without any disease, and finally knowledgeable and versatile。
It's a pity that He Guifei's maiden family, the family background is very ordinary, the family is an official, the official is weak, inferior, in the context of the law of the jungle, under the persecution of the power, can only compromise, let He Guifei propose to be a side concubine, but also show a very willing look, you are the prince, he knows that the feeling of not being able to make his own decisions, and can only watch his beloved woman being bullied makes him uncomfortable.
Tonight is a long night, the wind blows on the pillow, He Guifei cried, the original situation of the matter, begging for the understanding of Emperor Li, in the face of his beloved woman, Emperor Li can't afford to be a little angry, not that he is not angry in his heart, but he doesn't want to see her crying, she was once strong, in the eyes of Emperor Li, is a woman who dares to love and hate, and a woman who is kind and takes care of the overall situation, it's just that, break the bones and tendons, and the horizontal and vertical are his own flesh and blood, really let him drive the three princes out of the capital, he can do it, but he doesn't want to see her sad.
Now, He Guifei is not sad, Huang Xike is sad, and he is physically and mentally injured, and when the prince returned to the house, someone had already told him, and there were many informants, including Xiaoqing, and there were.
"Lord Wang, this is how things happened, you see that I am still injured, Lord Wang, you have to call the shots for us"
Knowing that Prince Li returned home, the first person to stand up was Xiaoqing, she knew that after the matter was big, she couldn't cover it, so she just said it directly, maybe she could get praise from Lord Li.
"You did the right thing, I know, you go to the treasury to receive the reward, heavy reward"
Li Wang Ye was naturally very angry, angry and angry, he was not angry, Huang Xi's matter was obviously provoked by the villain, a little guy who was only a teenager, why is he so bold, it is the villain, who is the villain, this is very important, he doesn't believe that Xiaoqing is the villain, it is unrealistic.
"Lord Wang, the slave is at fault, the slave didn't take care of the Hou Ye, the slave should die, the slave should die"
Xiaoqing just walked out, the dog manager knelt down in front of the prince of Li, begging, admitting his mistake and asking for punishment, once as the dog of the prince of Li, the dog knows the mind of the prince of Li best, don't look at the prince of Li all day long like a good person, if he is annoyed, everything will be possible, if he is really disgusted with anyone, the consequences, he dare not think.
"Waste, cry what to cry, 10 boards, take the punishment yourself"
Seeing the dog's snot and tears, the prince of Li's heart was soft-hearted, and he forgave it, in the end, it was his own dog, he knew in his heart, the dog would at most be a dog with human power, and he wanted him to deceive Huang Xi with clever words, who deceived whom, he couldn't tell, this dog thing, better than loyalty, did not stop it in time, and should be punished.
