Chapter 158: The Storm of Lichu Makes Waves
readx;
"Young master, leaning on this, comfortable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Tuan Tuan took a soft cushion and put it on the back of Lin Xi's chair, "Mother Zhou made it for you." ā
Don't say this, Lin Xi bared his teeth, straightened his waist slightly, and felt his bones click, and there was a faint pain in a hidden place behind him, reminding him of his madness last night.
"The prince is really, the young master is delicate and expensive, how can he toss like last night. Yuan Yuan walked into the study with a bowl of soup and put it in Lin Xi's hand, "Young master, drink it while it's hot, Mother Zhou specially ordered someone to make it, it's very supplemental." ā
It's really replenished, and it's full of aphrodisiac goodies.
Thinking of someone's extraordinary ability, Lin Xi was silent for a long time, raised it without changing his face and drank it, and then handed the bowl and continued to write the password of the ledger.
That kind of deadly thing, in addition to hiding it tightly, naturally has to add another layer of protection.
The souls from later generations have mastered brief Arabic numerals and special symbols that have never existed in this era, and they have replaced the Bactrian script with these, covering up the key points, and even if someone finds the ledger, they still can't decipher it.
This time, since he was going to hand over the account book to Zhao Jingyi, he naturally had to inform him of the meaning of the numbers and symbols.
There are not many characters, and it takes a while to translate them one by one.
Lin Xi put down the pen, blew the ink, folded the paper and put it in the envelope, and instructed Yuanyuan, "Go and call him in, and find Gu Hai in addition." ā
Yuan Yuan cleaned up the soup cup, walked out of the door of the study, gestured somewhere, and left.
After a while, the secret head walked into the study, put the envelope in his arms, exited the study, and disappeared into the Lin Mansion.
Zhao Jingyi held the letter paper and looked at the symbols inside, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and then he quickly gathered up.
He was even older than Lin Xi thought, these ten numbers can replace hundreds and thousands, and with special symbols, they can become riddles to pass, which is convenient and fast, as long as a specific person understands, it will soon become popular in the army.
How old was Lin Xi at that time?
Zhao Jingyi felt a little incredible.
He quickly gathered his cronies and staff and ordered him to go down.
The people who went down to the south of the Yangtze River had not been there for long, and the court officials of the Liang King faction finally jointly wrote a letter asking for the establishment of the prince, and the cabinet was put on the imperial case of Emperor Xia Jing, and the emperor stayed in the middle of it.
However, the result was that during the court meeting, the black pressure was pressed out of the column, and the civil officials knelt on the ground, even a few military attaches were also among them.
Emperor Xia Jingdi's cold gaze swept across the hall, saw Zhao Jingyi, who was silent with his eyes down, and finally landed on King Liang, who bowed his head quietly.
"King Liang, what do you think about this?" a deep and majestic voice sounded in the hall.
King Liang was not humble this time, but knelt down straight, and replied loudly: "For the sake of the society, please think deeply about your father, and your son will let his father decide." ā
Suddenly, Emperor Xia Jing felt a mouthful of salty fish surging up from his throat, and then he pressed it down.
Since vomiting blood that day, he obviously felt that his body was not as good as before, and the doctor told him to recuperate and not be angry, but how could he bear it.
For the aging emperor, the throne was all he had, and now his young and strong son coveted his supreme power, even if it was only the crown prince, he could not bear it, not to mention this son, who did not think that he had such virtue and talent.
As you can see from today's events, it is too much to breathe.
However, the fifth child was grounded and his mother concubine was sent to the cold palace, which made the third child feel proud of who else he was. However, when he promoted Lao Jiu again, sealed some rewards, and gave him some connections and attention, he was in a mess, and he roared and pulled the court officials to force him to establish a prince!
Where does this put their father-son relationship?
On this big hall, the king of Shu is grounded, the nine princes are still young, only King Liang, the prince who has been given high hopes, Emperor Xia Jing is both angry and disappointed, and suddenly a wave of powerlessness hits, he waved his hand and said: "The trouble is serious, I need to think about it again." ā
There was no lack of twilight in his words, and he didn't wait for the sound of "retreat from the dynasty without anything" to leave directly, leaving King Liang to kneel in place with his face down.
What followed was a long tug-of-war.
Emperor Xia Jing's dragon body was not safe and he was exempted from the court, but the courtiers' twists and turns flew into the Heart Cultivation Hall like snowflakes, and they swore not to give up if they didn't agree.
This dynasty does not condemn by words, Emperor Xia Jing has always been the appearance of the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty, and he does not want to end up brutally in his later years, even if he is angry, he will not blame anyone.
People's hearts are fluctuating, the court is turbulent, and when the emperor finally can't bear it anymore, a letter of impeachment of King Liang for his own selfish interests framed the court officials, corruption and bribery will be in front of his eyes to make the Jiangnan circle a private treasury.
And the person who played it was the King of Shu who had just lifted the ban, and he went directly to heaven to listen.
The sheer size of the amount of money and the number of officials involved are rare. This time, the king of Shu showed no mercy at all, and spread the account books one by one on the court, every number was like a loud slap on the officials of the Liang king's faction, and every human life that died in collusion and framing turned into a crime to lift the mask of Liang Wang's hypocrisy.
The King of Shu was holding back his anger in his heart, looking at King Liang who was silent and kneeling on the ground in the hall, and a sense of happiness rose from the bottom of his heart. Since he is not happy, then no one should think about it.
The crime eight years ago was not his mother's handiwork, and now Concubine Liang is also one of the masterminds, and Concubine Xian entered the cold palace, and the concubine sat on the wall and watched, how to calm the King of Shu by not being downgraded.
Okay, don't you want to be a prince?
Now let's talk about what kind of meritocracy, how to serve the country, and what kind of prince role model?
Do these people still have the cheekiness to beg for the crown prince?
The King of Shu glanced at King Liang who was lying on the ground, pulled his face, knelt down, and said bitterly: "Father, my son has been grounded for three months, and he has always reflected on himself, recalling that he has been shameless in the face of the people of the world, and he is ashamed of his father's teachings, and his son is guilty!
King Liang raised his head suddenly, glared at the King of Shu, and almost ate his heart raw.
"Please give your son this opportunity! Long live my emperor, long live!" the king of Shu shouted loudly, his forehead touching the ground and bowing.
King Liang couldn't be silent any longer, and hurriedly said: "Father, the sons and daughters are not clear about people, and the ghosts are confused, and the sons are also willing to donate all the property they have obtained, just ask the father to forgive the sons and daughters this time!"
Dog eats dog, mouthfuls of hair, and provokes shame.
Needless to say, a governor has fallen to the ground, and even officials who have escaped by luck and even promoted due to the corruption case four years ago have also been dismissed.
The Jiangnan corruption case once again shocked the whole country, and this time the amount of money was even larger, the scope of people involved was wider, and the case was even darker, full of intimidation and blood.
With this step, the filthy Jiangnan can finally make people take a breath, and a clear stream pours in, dispersing the surrounding darkness.
It's just that the matter of the prince is never mentioned again.
In the end, Emperor Xia Jing did not empty all the belongings of the two palaces, and each punished 100,000 taels, while King Liang also followed in the footsteps of the King of Shu and was confined for three months and was not allowed to visit.
In the evening, Prince Rui, who was familiar with the back wall of the Lin Mansion, was lying on the bed with his Lin Gongzi in his arms, talking about today's court.
As soon as the warmth was finished, Lin Xi, who was tossed lazily, lay on Zhao Jingyi's chest, half-squinted his eyes, and unconsciously pursed his red and swollen lips and said: "After this incident, King Liang needs to spend more time, manpower and property to continue to hang up his "virtuous" signboard, and take this opportunity, the Nine Emperor Princes can have more time to grasp the power in their hands, and they can compete with him in the future, just according to our ideas, not bad." ā
Zhao Jingyi touched Lin Xi's round shoulder, and the warm touch made him love it, and said: "But what I see today, I don't know how the Nine Emperors will be in the future, but the King of Shu has a realistic move, and Chen's pleading for cool behavior has indeed won him a lot of affirmation, and this singing made the emperor extremely appreciated." ā
I don't know if it was because of the loss of the support of his mother and the mother family, and he was suddenly pushed away from fighting for supremacy, the king of Shu seemed to have his feet on the ground and became more and more calm and pragmatic, and this is Emperor Xia Jingdi's favorite appearance.
"You mean that the King of Shu may be more likely?" Once the three-legged momentum is formed, it will be difficult to break it.
Zhao Jingyi smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "As long as it is a deed behind the scenes, one day it will be in the daylight, no matter how high-sounding it is." How King Liang planted his heel today, he can still turn it around tomorrow. ā
Lin Xi looked at Zhao Jingyi's confident appearance, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke Zhao Jingyi's chest, and down to the strong and flat waist and abdomen, he leaned into Zhao Jingyi's ear and asked in a low voice, "What do you say?"
And Zhao Jingyi stared at the traces he left at the intersection of Lin Xi's neck and collarbone, and felt the messy and teasing hand between his waist and abdomen, and couldn't help but feel hot again, and the hand he caressed Lin Xi's shoulder gradually changed its taste.
So Zhao Jingyi whispered a few words into his ear, and Lin Xi was surprised, "Really?"
"How can this be deceived?" Zhao Jingyi raised a sharp eyebrow.
This can be known, Lin Xi has to admit that this man's supernatural powers and wolf ambition are great.
"I hope the emperor can hold out until that time. Zhao Jingyi's hand reached into the dirty pants, slowly stroked the round buttocks, kneading them subconsciously, and couldn't help but wander between the gaps.
Lin Xi clearly felt the erection between his waist and abdomen, and was stunned for a moment, but his butt was pinched a few times, so he looked up and saw Zhao Jingyi's eyes full of lust.
Lin Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, like a frightened squirrel.
That's just done it!
Beware of the dead!
Zhao Jingyi smiled lowly, grabbed Lin Xi's waist and turned over to suppress him, took away the dirty clothes on his body, touched his smooth body, and his heart rippled.
"Xi'er...... It's not enough!"
