Chapter 37: Killing Chickens and Monkeys (I)
Early morning......
"Hey, are you really a pig?" Li Ke was helpless when he saw a woman in a strange posture on the couch.
"Oops...... I slept in the middle of the night last night because of Qiu Ju's matter, let me sleep a little longer, a woman's lack of sleep will accelerate aging! Melodious wailed as she changed her sleeping position and stuck her head under the covers.
"Hey, I've never seen a woman like you." Li Ke sighed and walked out of the room.
After a while, Tong'er entered the room with a basin of water, ready to serve her young lady to wash.
"Princess, get up, why are you still sleeping? It's time to get up! Tong'er tried very hard to wake up Melodious, but the people on the couch didn't even move.
"Princess, get up!" Tong'er continued to work.
"Princess, it's on fire, get up quickly!" Tong'er began to pull the melodious quilt.
"Ahh It's on fire! What's on fire? Melodious suddenly fell asleep, rolled up from the collapse three steps and ran to the door in two steps, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and stopped.
Melodious turned around and glanced at the innocent Tong'er hatefully. "Little girl, do you want this princess to sell you to Qingwan Building? Qingwan Building? Oops, by the way, what about Qiu Ju? ”
Tong'er blinked her innocent eyes and said with a pout. "Princess, did you just remember? Qiu Ju was sent home by His Royal Highness early in the morning, and now officials at all levels have to come to greet His Highness. ”
"Huh? Then why didn't you wake me up earlier, you are really incompetent! After the melodious and strong words were finished, he glared at Tong'er again.
"Princess, you are becoming more and more unreasonable!" Tong'er is really helpless with such a master, and she rolled her eyes impatiently.
"Obviously you didn't wake me up!" Melodious retort, every time she quarrels with Li Ke, she always loses, and today she must make up for it in Tong'er to shock her past heroism!
Tong'er had no choice but to give in. "Okay, Tong'er is not right, Tong'er will come early tomorrow morning to wake up the princess! Now let Tong'er serve you to wash, we have to dress up luxuriously today, and we can't let the people below look down on the princess! ”
After some tossing, Melodious looked at himself in the mirror and chose a royal mopping purple noble gauze skirt, the skirt was embroidered with a secret peony, a dazzling shirt embroidered with gold peacocks in silver, and the Su gold piping was occasionally embellished with a few dazzling pearls, and the bare clothes set off the inviolable solemn and luxurious atmosphere.
Tong'er's craftsmanship is very skillful, pulling out her shoulder-length hair out of a concubine bun, wearing the pearl of the South China Sea, and inserting a hibiscus hairpin obliquely, the hibiscus hairpin is decorated with shoulder-to-shoulder silver tassels, and the jade earrings on the cheeks are brilliant and dazzling, revealing endless dignity.
The self in the bronze mirror is bright and moving, and the melodious face is pinched fiercely, it hurts, and I believe that I have such a beautiful day.
"Princess, let's go out, Your Highness is already waiting."
Tong'er's words interrupted the melodious self-absorption.
In the square hall,
"Your Highness, the people who went to investigate this Liang prefect have also returned." The flames came to report.
Li Ke nodded and asked. "Then where did this Liang prefect come from?"
Flame Road. "This Liang prefect is the cousin of the eldest lady of the eldest grandson's family, and he relied on the power of the eldest grandson to sit in the position of this prefect. Since taking office, he has been greedy and unscrupulous, because the imperial power is not lower than the county, and the high-ranking officials are afraid of the eldest grandson and have to let it go, which can be described as a scourge. ”
"Is there any evidence?"
"Your Highness, for so many years, the people have complained everywhere, but they have suffered from no one to call the shots and suppressed everywhere, and gradually everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak. The subordinates sent people to visit several families overnight, and the people didn't believe it at first, but then showed your hand, and the people believed that Your Highness could really make decisions for them. Now several families have been gathered to wait in the backyard, and only your Highness will speak, and they will testify. ”
The flames are very efficient, and they have already taken care of everything in just one day.
Li Ke's eyes grew cold, and he said. "Then the king will come to kill chickens and monkeys today."
Li Guang was amazed. "Your Highness is wise, this matter can be described as killing three birds with one stone, one, His Highness has rectified this Liang prefect's mansion, just to warn other officials not to act mischiefly in the future. Second, you can give the eldest grandson a warning, my Royal Highness King Wu is not something that anyone can pinch and rub round. Three, to seek justice for the people of this party. ”
Li Ke nodded and smiled.
It just so happened that Melodious came to the square hall at this time and saw Li Ke sitting with his backlight. He has a majestic figure, a fair complexion, three-dimensional contours of his facial features, a pair of dark and deep ice eyes that look wild and uninhibited, a dissolute smile on the corner of his mouth, and the whole person exudes a kind of king who is powerful in the world.
Li Ke's evil and handsome appearance made Melodious Heartbeat Faster, and he sighed secretly. "That's handsome!"
The entourage came to report. "Your Highness, officials of all levels in Tanzhou are already waiting outside."
Li Ke saw that Melodious was dressed appropriately, so he commanded. "Let them in!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Guang led the order out of the room.
In a moment, Li Guang brought back nearly ten officials.
"Your Majesty King Wu welcomes Her Royal Highness Princess Wu, Wanfu Jin'an!" Officials at all levels saluted.
Li Ke's official title is the governor of Tanzhou and the status of the prince is noble, so the people who came to greet him were the governor, the envoy of the festival, the young bao, the Shangshu, the Taiwei, the servant, the captain, the school captain, the prefect, etc., this Liang prefect can really be regarded as a petty official.
Li Ke bowed his head slightly, revealing majesty, and said. "Excuse me!"
Officials stood up one after another.
The Admiral stepped forward. "The ministers are far away, please ask Your Highness for forgiveness, the palace has been cleaned up, and please ask Your Highness and the princess to move to the Governor's Mansion."
"There is Admiral Lao Xu, yesterday the princess was frightened by the guards of this Tanzhou, and now she is feeling unwell, so she will not move in a hurry for the time being." Li Ke glanced at the melodious who was sitting on the side, and there was a trace of warmth in his cold eyes.
The Admiral was a very intelligent man, and although he doubted that the princess was in good spirits and did not feel the slightest discomfort, he still followed the words. "The ministers are not well protected, and I ask Your Highness to forgive your sins! I don't know which family's guards recklessly lost the princess, and the ministers must be severely punished. ”
Li Ke said lightly. "I heard that this king is the guard of the Liang prefect's family."
Liang Zhifu was suddenly mentioned, the fox eyes looked at it slightly, he saw that the king of Wu who was sitting on the throne was still young, and he relied on the high-ranking officials of the court, but he was not too afraid. "The minister should be severely punished when he goes back!"
