Chapter 21: The Widow of the King Next Door

Li You said: "The child is ready, but I won't go up to talk about it." ”

Concubine Yin said angrily: "You child, shouldn't you be filial to your father?" ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to you, and you'll give it to him." Li You said.

"This kid ...... All right. Concubine Yin said helplessly.

Li You left the harem and walked to Yongxiang. Li Chuanzhi came over and said, "Minister, I've seen Your Highness." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please come over. ”

Li You sent his entourage back first, and followed Li Chuanzhi to the East Palace.

In the garden, Li Chengqian waited for Li You alone, saw him coming, and said cordially: "Fifth brother, when you come to the palace, you won't go around here for your brother." ”

Li You saluted and said, "The younger brother has seen the prince's brother. The threshold is too high for you here, and it is too troublesome to enter the palace. By the way, thank you for the last time. ”

He was talking about Li Chengqian helping him speak in the court.

Li Chengqian smiled: "My own brother, it should be." "Li You's reputation is not very good, Li Chengqian has a sense of superiority in front of him, there is no pressure, but he feels a lot closer.

He said: "Fifth brother, I just got the news that someone has impeached you, and there is more than one person. ”

Li You asked, "What to impeach me?" ”

Li Chengqian said: "Your business in Xishi is not a big deal. However, it is not you who they impeached, but Zhou Qian, the chief of your house. They said that Zhou Qian, under the banner of Yiyang Palace, sold bread in the West Market, saying that you were not strict in discipline and were guilty of conniving at dereliction of duty. ”

"Damn, that's a real nuisance. If it is directly aimed at me, it is nothing, it will be more troublesome to target Zhou Gan, and if Zhou Qian is punished, he will also be slapping me in the face of King Yiyang. Li You said in his heart.

He said, "These damn guys are really fed up. ”

Li Chengqian said: "The people who wrote these impeachment pieces are all close to the fourth brother. ”

Li You nodded and did not speak.

Li Chengqian said: "Just now I asked Jingzhao Yin Chuheng to come and help you do everything that needs to be done." You can find another excuse for yourself and pick Zhou Qian clean. ”

Li You was really grateful, and said, "Brother Prince, you always help me, how can I thank you?" ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "My own brother, what are you thankful for." ”

These days, Li You has not only studied eating, but also studied how to eat peacefully. He had already thought that instead of being treated as opponents by Li Chengqian, Li Ke and Li Tai, it was better to hide behind Li Chengqian's back and let the three of them fight, and his life would be much more comfortable.

What's more, Li Chengqian's current strength is the greatest, and his character is much better than that of Li Ke and Li Tailai.

Thinking of this, he said; "Brother Prince, you are so good to your brother, I don't know anything, I know who is good to me, I will be good to whom."

Li Chengqian was waiting for this sentence, and he was overjoyed. However, he only smiled faintly on the surface and said, "Okay, in the future, our brothers will be closer." ”

Li You said: "Brother Prince, my brother has something to ask. ”

Li Chengqian said: "You're welcome, you say. ”

"Brother Chen's brother has recently developed a kind of pasta, or a new kind of Hu cake, called steamed bread...... I don't know if it's useful? ”

Li Chengqian didn't feel anything special, and said, "This is a good thing." ”

Li You said: "You said it was a good thing, that's great." Tomorrow, in the court, the younger brother will say that you asked me to study and promote, okay? ”

"This?" Li Chengqian was a little reluctant and said: "This is a trivial matter, there is no need to say it in the court, right?" ”

Li You said: "Then, forget about this matter." ”

After Li You left, Li Chengqian told Zhang Xuansu the content of the conversation. He said: "The fifth brother is still joking, he actually wants me to help him promote steamed buns in the court...... I'm not messing around with him. He told Zhang Xuansu about the steamed buns.

Zhang Xuansu said in surprise: "Your Highness, you, this is a great achievement, why don't you see it?" ”

Li Chengqian still didn't understand, he asked: "Isn't it just a kind of food, what kind of credit is this?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Highness, listen to me......"

After listening to Zhang Xuansu's words, Li Chengqian suddenly realized and said: "Li Dezhi, you go to Yiyang Wangfu immediately......"

On April 1, it was another great court meeting, and Li You participated in the court as usual. However, he knew that someone was going to impeach him today, so it was rare that he did not fall asleep.

Sure enough, not long after, I heard someone say: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Li You, the king of Yiyang." ”

After all, Li You's time in the dynasty is still short, and he often sleeps, so he doesn't know many people. He turned his head to look, and he didn't recognize this either. I heard the man say: "Zhou Qian, the head of the Yiyang Palace, as a eunuch, went in and out of the West City, and in the name of the Yiyang Palace, participated in business and made huge profits. The king of Yiyang is guilty of connivance and failure to investigate. ”

This time, Li Shimin said directly: "King Yiyang, someone impeached you, what do you have to say?" ”

Li You smiled: "It's good to impeach, otherwise I'll fall asleep." ”

This time, Li Shimin was not angry. The ministers have the experience of the last court debate, and they are all looking forward to Li You to see how he fights back.

The impeachment of the imperial history has a great advantage, and when ordinary officials encounter impeachment, they are all questioned about him, and he will explain what he is, which is very passive. Under the questioning of the imperial historians, it is easy to make mistakes.

Li You won't be fooled.

Li You looked at the official who impeached him and asked, "Who is that, what is your name?" ”

The official said, "The minister is Yushi Gaojun. ”

Li You said loudly: "Father, the son wants to impeach Gao Jun, he went to the house of the widow next door in the middle of the night and stole someone's underwear. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately came to their senses.

"Your Highness, don't spew blood." Gao Jun said.

"What do you mean by spewing blood? Last night someone saw you running to the house of the widow next door, and when you came out, your waist was bulging, and then you heard the widow king shouting to catch the thief. You say, you're a big man, what are you doing stealing other people's underwear? Li You said.

"You! Nothing happens. You are a bloody person, although I am a widow next door, but she is not surnamed Wang, but Zhao. Gao Jun retorted.

"Look, he'll admit it. By the way, what are you stealing Widow Zhao's underwear for? Li You said with a smile.

"You, you ......" Although Gao Jun is a royal historian and eats by mouth, where has he ever seen such a rogue trick, and he doesn't know how to fight back for a while. His face was flushed, and he was speechless.

Including Li Shimin, everyone couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Yan Liben couldn't stand it anymore, he came out and said: "Your Highness, you shouldn't insult Gao Yushi's innocence, you said that he did those indecent things, you saw it with your own eyes?" ”

Li You was not fooled, if he said that he saw it with his own eyes, if Yan Li had asked him what he was doing there in the middle of the night, he would have fallen for the trick. He laughed, "I heard about it, it must be like that." ”

Yan Liben immediately said: "Yes, you didn't see it with your own eyes, you don't have evidence, isn't this slandering Gao Yushi?" ”

"When emptiness blows, there must be a cause. I've heard about it, too. Li You said.

Yan Liben said: "Your Majesty, you see, His Royal Highness the King of Yiyang has admitted that he didn't see it with his own eyes, but he just heard it. Hearsay is not to be believed. ”

Li You said: "Why is it not enough to believe it? ”

Gao Jun recovered, and he said, "Your Highness, you accuse the minister of doing indecent things, please come up with evidence." ”

"That's right, when you Gao Junfeng heard what he said, he came when he opened his mouth, isn't it also bloody? If you impeach Zhou Qian, you have to come up with evidence. You say, what are you doing at Widow Zhao's house? Li You said.

"You...... I ......" Gao Jun trembled with anger.

Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore and said: "King Yiyang, if you have something to say, don't talk about it." ”
