Chapter 80: When the Storm Goes On
"This is the duty of the old minister." Master Pei had no intention of leaving, waiting for Li Zhi's sentence, Li Zhi saw that he didn't leave, whether he didn't understand his meaning, or forced him to give an order, in this compromise, he saw the name of his son Li Zhe, and beat Mr. Guozijian, that was not an ordinary sin, even if he was a prince, he was saddened by those pedantic scholars who participated in two books.
As an emperor, he was responsible for the country; But he is an emperor at the same time, he is also a father, his son has done something wrong, as a father, he can forgive if he can, and try to avoid it if he can help him dodge.
Those pedantic scholars are not ordinary difficult to deal with, crying, making trouble and hanging themselves, although it is the usual method used by women, these pedantic readers will also do this, risking death to admonish, I don't know when it was handed down, and as soon as these scholars were used, for the reputation of that loyal minister, they kept doing this and forced the emperor to comply.
Many emperors in the past dynasties have been forced to conform to these scholars, his father can experience such a thing, and he, when he first ascended the throne, he was forced by these pedantic scholars to be miserable enough, and he had to go through them for whatever he wanted to do, he couldn't do this, he couldn't do that, just like a puppet emperor, after years in power, he finally got rid of these people, but he couldn't completely break away from them.
"Aiqing is tired, I am going to have dinner with Niangniang, Aiqing, do you also want to eat?" Since I secretly asked you to go, and you didn't go, I will clearly drive you away, and see if you go or not.
"Your Majesty, please eat, and the old minister will retire." Master Pei knew that he couldn't trip Jiang Ke today, His Majesty didn't have that information, and he was determined to protect him, and he didn't want to continue to persecute His Majesty, lest it backfire.
"Let's go down."
Li Zhi waved his hand but didn't stay, and after Master Pei left, Li Zhi slammed down the letter and shouted loudly: "What does this Pei Yan mean?" Do you have to force me to do it? ”
"Your Majesty is angry, the dragon body is important, Your Majesty." Wu Meiniang beside her stroked Li Zhi's chest, virtuously soothed Li Zhi and calmed his anger, Li Zhi pointed to the letter and said: "You said this Pei Yan, take the fold up, isn't this let me deal with Zhe'er?" What kind of mind is he in mind? Zhe'er is so good, she didn't provoke them anything, why is she always unable to get along with my son? ”
Wu Meiniang stared at the letter, her expression was gloomy and uncertain, it seemed that which of Li Zhi's words had provoked her to be unhappy, however, Wu Meiniang's expression was very restrained, and she did not let Li Zhi see the clues, and comforted Li Zhi softly: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, this time it's not about Master Pei, it's Zhe'er who has done a little too much, what is the place of Guozijian, how can he be presumptuous?" ”
"Hey, Zhe'er really got into trouble this time, it's not good where to go, why do you have to go to Guozijian to make trouble? And hit someone? Li Zhi said complaining words, but there was some envy in his heart, he had never tried to beat people, he was weak since he was a child, he was familiar with the books of sages, and he deeply remembered that if a gentleman does not use his mouth, how dare he beat someone.
It was Li Zhou's behavior that deeply touched the string in his heart, but if you hit someone, you hit someone, why did you hit the Guozijian? Those pedantic scholars know that there will be no good fruit to eat.
"Hey, Zhe'er is still young and ignorant, so this time it can be regarded as a lesson for him." Li Zhi directly called people: "Come on." ”
The father-in-law who heard the voice walked in from outside, saluted respectfully, and Li Zhi directly opened his mouth and ordered: "You take this secret decree and send it to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, let him stay at home and read for a month, and don't give him anywhere." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"There you go." Li Zhi was a little tired, waved his hand to signal his father-in-law to go down, Wu Meiniang rubbed Li Zhi's temples intimately, and said slowly: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be so troublesome, it won't be long before Zhe'er will get married, and when the time comes, he will naturally be sensible." ”
"It's still Mei Niang's intimacy, I know what I'm worried about, Zhe'er is too ignorant, I hope that after this time, he can be sensible." Li Zhi had a taste of hating iron and steel, and said with a faint smile.

After taking Yang Jiong out, Li Zhou and his salary were reduced to have a meal in the teahouse, and he returned to his palace in a blur, as soon as he returned to the palace, the housekeeper Liu Bo ran out of breath to greet Li Zhou, urging as he walked: "Your Highness, you are back, if you don't come back, the old slave will go out to find you." ”
"Is something wrong? Chamberlain. The butler's worried look said that it was impossible if nothing happened, but he had just come back, what could he do?
"Your Highness, you don't know, not long ago, there was a father-in-law from the palace, who came over with a holy decree, saying that it was for Your Highness, but at that time, Your Highness, you were not at home, so the old slave asked your father-in-law to sit in the hall, waiting for Your Highness, Your Highness, hurry up." The housekeeper said what happened during the period, and Li Zhou listened to it, and he sighed in his heart, thinking of what happened today, and knew that his father already knew.
"That's too fast, isn't it?" Li Zhou had to sigh, the efficiency of the Tang Dynasty could be so fast, but in a few hours, the holy decree came down, and he was really a little caught off guard.
Li Zhou thought about it while walking into the hall, and what caught his eye was a father-in-law, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Li Zhou's arrival, and immediately picked up the holy decree and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince Li Zhe listens to the order." ”
"Long live my emperor, long live."
All evil society, all evil system, shouting in his mouth, Li Zhou kept scolding in his heart, kneeling on the ground, extremely reluctant, but there is no way, how dare not kneel, not kneeling is a big crime, Li Zhou can't bear the consequences.
"The seventh son of me, wise and wise, brave and brave,............,, because of the beating of Mr. in today's Guozi prison, the crime is extremely heinous, unforgivable, but I pity him when he is young and active, and does not understand the rules, and orders him to be kept in his home for a month, and hereby issue an edict, which is admired."
"Long live my emperor, long live."
Li Zhou took the holy decree, holding a piece of yellow cloth and two wooden sticks, Li Zhou sighed in his heart, this is nothing, I thought that I would be scolded by those scholars who pointed at their backs and scolded them for not respecting their superiors, not understanding the rules, and severely punishing a few big boards, but I didn't expect that it would be enough to be confined, and the matter would be over.
"This father is really, he talks nonsense with his eyes open, he is smart and wise, I admit this, he is brave and brave, it is somewhat not counted, but it is also quite suitable for me, that is, he is young and active, he doesn't understand the rules, it's not good, I'm a little white dragon in the waves of the new era, how can I be swayed by emotions?"
Looking at the words on the holy decree, the beating incident, with a sentence that he was young and active, did not understand the rules, and covered up the past, when nothing happened, since he was fine, then the other few people should be fine, Li Zhou's tense nerves eased, and the eyes that looked at the father-in-law were much kinder.
"There is a father-in-law, a little care, not a respect." Li Zhou stuffed a bag of silver, and then handed over a few boxes of soap to the housekeeper, and put it in his father-in-law's hand with one hand, and was frightened by Li Zhou's sudden action, and his father-in-law was flattered.
"Be careful, don't be surprised."
"Haha, Your Highness is polite, polite." The father-in-law received the gift, as well as a rather heavy money bag, his face suddenly became as bright as a flower, approached Li Zhou's side, whispered a word in his ear, and then swaggered away.
Li Zhou's smiling expression suddenly became cold, and he muttered, "It seems that everyone really treats me as a mud pinch, Pei Yan?" And Wu Sansi, hum. ”
This time it wasn't for his father to suppress it, I'm afraid it would be more than a small closure, thinking of this, Li Zhou found that he didn't have any power, and once something happened, he didn't know if he was overshadowed.
Those people in the officialdom are not ordinary people, especially the kind of people who have been immersed in it for many years, looking harmless to people and animals, but in fact they are extremely insidious, it seems that I need to prepare some, otherwise, maybe something will happen in the future?
"If you offend me, do you think you'll be able to do it all right? Gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, I Li Zhou will take revenge, as long as tonight, damn Wu Sansi, you have to wait for me tonight. ”
"Hmph."
………………
"Daddy. I am back. ”
When he returned home with a salary reduction, he called his father cordially, Jiang Ke didn't look at him, and continued to eat, while his mother who had reduced his salary greeted him cordially, and asked warmly: "Jiang'er, come on, eat." ”
"Thank you, Mother." Tremblingly, he took the chopsticks, carefully moved the chopsticks, and observed Jiang Ke's face while picking up vegetables, and found that he was not unusual, so he put down the stone in his heart and exhaled deeply.
This breath was a little eye-catching, Jiang Ke put down his chopsticks and said lightly: "How is it?" Are things still going well? ”
"Yes, it went well." As soon as the words came out, he regretted it and was about to run away, but there was no movement on his father's side, he just glanced at him lightly and continued to speak: "It's okay, stay at home these days, don't go anywhere." ”
"Oh!" It's like a deflated ball, I didn't ask anything about the salary cut, I didn't refute, I didn't resist, I was obedient, I still couldn't help but have a lot of doubts in my heart, why did my father become so reasonable, didn't he fight when he saw something wrong with me before? Today it was .......
Eyes on his mother, cutting wages to know the answer, but unfortunately, his mother smiled faintly, did not reveal anything, at a loss, confused, did not know anything, but he always felt that they had something to hide from him, not letting him know.
"What the hell is going on?"
