"Lao Chen has seen King Jing......"

The seventy-year-old Li Tou bowed his hand, making Jia Baoyu, who was ready to step forward to help, pause.

Well, this old guy is quite self-conscious.

But it's also true, he is neither the emperor nor the prince, so he really doesn't have to kneel to him.

"Master Li doesn't need to be polite...... I don't know if Lord Li is here, but what are the thorny problems in the future of His Majesty? ”

The emperor died, and the Ministry of Rites was originally the busiest department, but the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites died in the turmoil of the night before, and the right waiter was beheaded by the Emperor Taishang, and the three leaders of the Ministry of Rites went to two, leaving only one old bone......

"King Mengjing is concerned, with the deployment of the first assistant and the Taishi, there is no big problem for His Majesty's future...... The old minister is here for the sake of the old minister's unsuccessful grandson......"

Li Shoushan said, with a look of pity on his face, and slowly knelt down and said: "King Huijing, Lao Chen's grandson has not been taught by his parents since he was a child, and he has always grown up beside his grandmother.

But the old minister went to the dungeon to teach him a lesson, and when he knew the real situation on the mountain, he had already woken up. And to tell the truth, the words he said when he went up the mountain this time were completely deceived by the second prince, and he had no intention of being subservient to the court! ”

Jia Baoyu listened and said, "What does Master Li mean?" ”

It doesn't seem that you can't kneel, for the sake of your baby grandson, you can still bend your knees.

Li Shoushan bowed his head: "Dare to ask King Jing for mercy, seeing that he is still young, and he has not made a big mistake, spare him this time, and release him from the dungeon, from now on, the old minister will definitely discipline him strictly, and he will not ......"

"Didn't make a big mistake?"

Jia Baoyu's rhetorical question interrupted Li Shoushan's words.

"The second prince rebelled and killed His Majesty, but Li Mingli acted as a tiger, pretending to be the second prince and helping his golden cicada get out of his shell, so that the second prince has now stolen the capital division!

This is not counted, after Li Mingli went up the mountain, he wantonly slandered the king of Hejian for plotting against the king, and advocated for the second prince, trying to incite people's hearts, so on, what does it mean to rebel? And how can this king have mercy? ”

Jia Baoyu's words made Li Shoushan's face fuse.

In fact, he didn't want to come on this trip, he wanted his dignified court cabinet to plead with a stinky hairy boy?

But that's his own grandson after all!

His own grandson is in trouble, and no grandfather can bear to ignore it.

The Emperor Taishang was weak and needed to recuperate, so he didn't dare to plead with the Emperor Taishang at this time. Someone suggested to him to come to Jia Baoyu, saying that Jia Baoyu was destined to become an "upstart", and the emperor was extremely doting and trusting of him, so it might be useful to ask him for intercession.

He hated the flames in his heart, but today he went to the dungeon, and his grandson cried a miserable one. Besides, the damp dungeon was so crowded that it was dirty and smelly, and he couldn't bear to be in it all the time......

That's right, at this time, he was still feeling sorry for his grandson, because he didn't feel that his grandson was guilty of much sin, even if he did, with his credit to the court, the court should also open up!

Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu didn't give him face, and bluntly said that his grandson was plotting rebellion?

"King Jing......"

Li Shoushan was about to argue, but Jia Baoyu waved his hand again and said: "Lord Li's appeal is already known to this king, Lord Li has worked hard for the imperial court, and if it is something else, this king will definitely have no reason to do it with respect."

It's just a matter of rebellion against the second prince, and all the people involved will finally be handed over to the emperor for decision-making, and even this king is not qualified to make decisions without authorization.

Therefore, please forgive this king for not being able to do anything. ”

Jia Baoyu finished saying this sentence in a tone that didn't need to say much, and Bai Yufang, the eunuch and chief eunuch who was already squatting next to him, took the initiative to drive him away: "Lord Li, please......"

The tone of neither yin nor yang is disgusting.

He is an old man in the palace, and he is very good at this kind of thing.

Li Shoushan had no choice but to get up.

looked at Jia Baoyu, his mouth opened, and he turned around with a last sigh to leave.

"By the way, I heard that Master Li is seventy years old this year, and he should enjoy the blessings of Qing at such an old age, and he is still running around for the affairs of the court, this king can't bear it, and the court should not let the meritorious ministers suffer so much.

When he turned back, the king played the Emperor Taishang and asked the Emperor Taishang to give Lord Li a good field house to live for the rest of his life.

As for the matter of the Ministry of Rites, I heard Wang Shoufu say that Wang Jin has been an official in the Ministry of Rites for 20 years and knows about the affairs of the Ministry.

Therefore, His Majesty's future affairs, he will be responsible for scheduling in the future, and Lord Li does not have to worry too much. ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile.

……

Li Shoushan left in despair.

In this regard, Jia Baoyu does not have any sense of regret.

His grandson did that, and it was so normal for him to be a grandfather.

He couldn't see the situation clearly, and Jia Baoyu needed to make him sober and sober.

Moreover, although it is said that Jia Baoyu is in need of a wide range of grace and popularity. But blind kindness is inevitably not cherished enough......

Endor is light.

The world should not be made to feel that the sin of rebellion is forgiven at will, and that it is not frightening and frightening. In that way, even if Jia Baoyu saved them, they would not be grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu is in need of a raft, and the Li family is a good raft to send to the door.

What's more, now that the relatives of the people on the mountain are in the capital, if Jia Baoyu agrees to Li Shoushan's request, wouldn't it tell everyone that it is not a felony for the family to help the second prince?

In this way, if the second prince is forced by their family, I don't know how many people will secretly communicate with the second prince with luck......

This is something he must put an end to, and it is also the place where Ye Qiong specially reminded him to take precautions before.

Therefore, since Li Shoushan is destined to not be able to win him over, let's withdraw him.

lest it be a bad thing after the resentment.

As for that Wang Jin, it was actually recommended to him by Ye Qiong, and the reason why he didn't tell the truth was because he didn't want Ye Qiong to be hated for nothing.

Ye Qiong supports him wholeheartedly, and he naturally has to defend him.

Feng Tang and the others had been waiting beside him, originally thinking that Jia Baoyu would have a difficult time dealing with a court elder like Li Shoushan, but he didn't expect Jia Baoyu to be so strong, not only did he not agree to Li Shoushan's request, but also gave him the power of the Ministry of Rites......

In such a comparison, he and others are treated and reused by Jia Baoyu, which is even more precious.

"General Chen is related to Master Mei of the Hanlin Academy?"

Just when Feng Tang and the others were thinking about Jia Baoyu's intentions, they overheard Jia Baoyu asking.

Feng Tang hurriedly gave Chen Daliang a look, and Chen Daliang said hesitantly: "Back to Your Highness, this is indeed the case, Mei Changling of the Hanlin Academy and I are brothers-in-law......

"I see."

Jia Baoyu nodded and said: "The Mei family is a famous Hanlin family in the capital, a scholarly family, Mei Changling is also a first-class jinshi, and he originally had a bright future, but unfortunately, he secretly colluded with the second prince to rebel, so that he ended up committing suicide." ”

"Mei Changling is dead?"

Chen Daliang's face changed.

"General Chen doesn't know yet? In the afternoon, he, together with Zhang Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, Su Ce of the Yushitai and others, committed suicide in the dungeon in fear of crime......"

Chen Daliang and the three of them all took a breath of cold air.

They were not present at yesterday's interrogation and did not know the ins and outs of many events. But it does not prevent them from guessing.

Mei Changling and Jia Baoyu's Su Ce and Zhang Hanlin are both Jingtai Emperor's henchmen, and they are very valued by Jingtai Emperor.

It was suspicious enough to be detained before, but now they all committed suicide, suicide in fear of crime?

It seems that the Emperor Taishang is really determined to cover up the fact that Emperor Jingtai is forcing the palace.

"By the way, what did General Chen want to say before?"

Jia Baoyu seemed to remember what happened before Li Shoushan came in.

Feng Tang, Wei Liqi and the others immediately looked at Chen Daliang nervously and asked him not to talk nonsense.

Seeing this, Chen Daliang hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's okay, it's okay......

If His Highness has no other orders, the last general and others will go down and prepare first. ”

Jia Baoyu smiled: "Okay." ”

When the three old guys went down, Jia Baoyu also assigned an errand to Feng Ziying, who had been waiting for a long time.

There were suddenly tens of thousands of border troops on the iron network mountain, and the grain, grass and other things originally prepared by the household department were naturally not enough.

However, the capital is now controlled by the second prince, and it is impossible to transfer grain and grass from Beijing, so it can only be temporarily transferred from surrounding states and counties.

It is appropriate to let Feng Ziying and the others be in charge of this matter.

……

Outside the palace, Feng Tang and the others were waiting for Feng Ziying.

After they came out, when they learned of Jia Baoyu's arrangement for the three of them, Feng Tang sighed: "Although King Jing is young, this means of knowing people and handling things is really clever, if he can really ...... That's really the emperor's luck, the court's luck! ”

It doesn't say it, but others know what it means.

Wei Liqi also said: "King Jing is not an ordinary person. ”

Maybe it was something that could not be said, and several people looked at each other and stopped talking.

Then Feng Tang instructed Feng Ziying and the three of them: "Now that King Jing's identity is not what it used to be, you must no longer be casual and contemptuous in front of him, if King Jing is nostalgic, remember your past affection, and your great creation will be indispensable in the future, do you understand?" ”

Feng Ziying and the three of them nodded yes again and again.
