Chapter 19: Intercession
"Mother, if you do this, I'm afraid that my father won't be happy."
Regarding Li Yi's words, Zhao Xun was quite worried.
Li Yi sighed and said, "Xun'er, do you think that doing this for your mother is just for your own face?" You are wrong, now the position of the crown prince, only you and Zhao Shuo are qualified to fight, how big the power behind Zhao Shuo is, you are not unclear, even if your father and the emperor pass on the throne to you in the future, there is no certain military power in hand, this position, it is easy for you to sit on it, and it is easy to be pulled down. ”
Zhao Xun was silent, such a topic, Li Yi had also mentioned it vaguely to him before, but it was not as straightforward as what he said today, for Li Yi's thoughts, Zhao Xun both agreed and disagreed, he didn't think Li Xun had the ability to provoke such a big beam, Zhao Shuo's mother Yang Guifei, born in a famous family, its Yang family, in today's Dajin, can be described as the first family gate valve is not an exaggeration, when the right minister, the first person of the hundred officials Yang Daohei, is the contemporary patriarch of the Yang family, and his disciples are officials at all levels, as many as hundreds, In terms of martial arts, the envoy of Shuzhou Jiedu, Yang Daoan, who controls the 50,000 army, General Zuo of the Fengjing Forbidden Army, and Yang Daolin, who controls the 30,000 Central Forbidden Army, are all members of the Yang family.
Zhao Xun didn't want to fight for anything, but Li Yi told him that if he became the prince and succeeded to the throne in the future, with the power of the Yang family, Zhao Shuo could be a peaceful prince, if Zhao Shuo became the prince, I am afraid that their mother and son could only be ghosts.
Li Yi glanced at Zhao Xun and shook his head, his son is still too simple, the battle for the throne since ancient times must be cruel and bloody, just say that his father Zhao Zhi, didn't he also step on the corpses of several of his brothers back then, so he sat on this position?
Li Yi and Zhao Xun pondered there, Li Mancang lowered his head, didn't say anything, the atmosphere was a little silent, Li Xun smiled: "Auntie, to be honest, I have been in Fengjing for a few years, and I am indeed a little depressed, but I want to come out and find something to do, walk around, and see the beautiful rivers and mountains of my Great Jin Dynasty." ”
Li Yi nodded, with a smile on her face, she admired her nephew's character and attitude: "There will be a chance, don't worry, aunt will definitely find you a good job." ”
After everyone had eaten, Li Mancang and Li Xun's father and son were about to say goodbye and leave, but Zhao Zhi came suddenly, and everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Zhao Lang, are you back so early today?"
Li Yi greeted him and helped Zhao Zhi to sit down on the main seat.
"There is a big event in the court, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to you tonight, so I'm here to tell you."
Zhao Zhi waved his hand and asked everyone to get up, his face was tense, obviously something big had happened, and his mood was quite heavy.
Li Yi sat down next to him and said softly: "Zhao Lang should take state affairs as the priority, this little thing, just send someone to come over and spread the word, why bother to run in person." ”
Zhao Zhi grabbed Li Yi's hand, shook his head, and didn't say anything, they have a deep relationship with husband and wife, and they have lived together for more than twenty years, so there is no need to say those polite words.
Zhao Zhi glanced at everyone, and there was still the fragrance of vegetables in the house, so he said, "You just had a good meal?" ”
Zhao Xun replied: "I just ate it, can my father have something to eat?" ”
Zhao Zhi shook his head and looked at Li Xun: "Dog, I heard that He Haolin's son came to your house to make trouble?" ”
Li Xun touched his head and said in surprise: "This kind of trivial matter, the emperor's uncle also knows?" ”
Zhao Zhi said lightly: "The whole world is mine, is there anything I don't know?" ”
Li Xun bent over again and again to say yes, he couldn't help but think of He Tingxuan in his mind, thought of the scene he saw when he went to his house, pondered again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and said cautiously: "Uncle Emperor, can you let He Haolin and his son go?" ”
"He Tingxuan went to your house to make trouble and ruined your reputation, and you still have to intercede for him?"
Zhao Zhi was stunned, then there was a trace of interest on his face, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Do you know that I am going to severely punish He Haolin and sentence him to death." ”
Li Xun was taken aback, didn't He Haolin just speak a little rushed? As for this? Li Xun hurriedly told what he saw when he went to He Tingxuan's house last night: "The dog doesn't know if their father and son are good officials, but at least they are not corrupt officials, is it too heavy to be killed like this?" ”
Zhao Zhi's face turned cold: "My decision, what qualifications do you have to comment?" ”
Li Xun was frightened in his heart, and quickly knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and said loudly: "The dog is wrong, I don't dare anymore, please don't be angry with the dog." ”
When Li Mancang saw that his son had provoked the emperor's anger, his face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and pleaded for mercy again and again.
Zhao Xun said on the side: "Father, Li Xun was also impulsive and said the wrong thing, and asked my father not to be angry." ”
Li Yi grabbed Zhao Zhi's hand and squeezed his eyes, she knew that Zhao Zhi would not be angry about this little thing.
Zhao Zhi had a smile on his face: "Get up, there are no outsiders here, don't kneel down at every turn." ”
Li Xun helped Li Mancang to stand up, both of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at Zhao Zhi.
"Dog, He Haolin is disrespectful to your aunt, you should be angry, why do you want to intercede for him?"
Li Xun raised his head, looked at Zhao Zhi, and said cautiously: "Uncle Emperor, this... This He Haolin, is he a direct minister? ”
"You also know the meaning of the minister, in the past few years, I have been studying with Xun'er, and it seems that you are not completely confused."
Zhao Zhi said lightly: "He Haolin has an upright personality, although he is a little pedantic, but he is also a direct minister. ”
"Uncle Emperor, the matter of He Haolin, the dog has already inquired about it from his cousin, and he is not wrong to oppose my father's knighthood."
Zhao Zhi squinted his eyes and said lightly: "How do you say this?" ”
Li Xun said: "My Great Jin Taizu once set a rule, no merit can not be knighted, not Shizhou County, no entry into the political hall, my father does not know a few big characters, and no merit, He Haolin strongly opposed, there is nothing wrong, the emperor's uncle punished him with this death, I am afraid that many people will not accept it, and they will look down on my father and son even more." ”
Li Mancang saw his son talking there, cold sweat broke out on his head, he reached out and pulled his arm, and scolded in a low voice: "Shut up, don't talk about it." ”
Li Xun broke away from Li Mancang and grabbed his hand, and continued: "Dogs like to read history books, often see, but wherever the Ming Monarch is in front of the Holy Lord, there will be many ministers who dare to speak out, when Taizu, the minister Wei Jing often argues with Taizu in the dynasty, and admonishes directly, Taizu is not only angry, but rejoices about it, the emperor's uncle is also the Holy Lord of Mingjun, and there are direct ministers like He Haolin around him, is that not a normal thing?" ”
Li Yi kept frowning and looking at Li Xun, and wanted to interrupt him several times, but when he heard him compare Zhao Zhi to Taizu, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Zhao Zhi looked at Li Xun's gaze, but he had a look of appreciation: "Then he is disrespectful to your aunt, should he stop there?" ”
Li Xun said angrily: "How can it be done, my aunt is also what he can say?" At least lock him up for a few months and make him suffer. ”
