Ouyang Yin's life is very difficult, a while ago Wang Xi cried in front of the court that his family was imprisoned by the government, and the servant of the criminal department Dai Xuan denied it again, and most of the courtiers had guessed that it was done by Bi Wai Houguan, Li Er promised to give Wang Xi an explanation in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, this matter is not over yet, but now there is a problem again.

After the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, forced Li Yuan to abdicate, and ascended the throne two months later, so far it has been more than four months, appeased Xue Wanche and other old ministers of the hidden prince, but more than eighty percent of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs are still the old ministers of Li Yuan's time, once the son of heaven and a courtier, Li Er is a little impatient to replace the former ministers of the former Qin palace that he trusts. So he ordered the foreign waiting officer to take the initiative to lure the hundred officials, which was called fishing law enforcement in later generations!

Ouyang Yin dispatched, the results were remarkable, the criminal department ordered the envoy to accept a silk silk, Li Er announced his crime at the court meeting, and wanted to kill him.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ju, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, made a direct admonition: "If you accept bribes for officials, you should die for your crimes; However, His Majesty sent someone to the door to ask him to accept it, which is intended to lead people to violate the law, and I am afraid that it does not conform to Confucius's so-called ancient precept of 'using morality to induce, and using etiquette and religion to straighten the people's hearts'. ”

For a while, hundreds of officials seconded the proposal, Li Erru woke up from a dream, and commended Pei Ju in the court: "Pei Qing can be an official and strive for it, not for the sake of face-to-face, everything is the same, why worry about it!" ”

Speaking of Pei Ju, Wang Xi can be said to have a deep memory, Yang Guang is mediocre, so he flatters, and follows his mind, Li Er is virtuous, and he is straightforward, Yang Guang favored him when he was the emperor, Li Yuan trusted him when he ascended the throne, and Li Er did not idle him like other old ministers when he ascended the throne, he can really be described as an old and sophisticated person!

Sima Guang also commented on him in the Zizhi Tongjian: The ancients said: If the monarch is virtuous, his subordinates dare to speak out. Pei Ju was a minister in the Sui Dynasty and a loyal minister in the Tang Dynasty, not because his character had changed. The monarch hates to hear from others, and the minister's loyalty is transformed into flattery; The monarch is willing to hear direct advice, and flattery is transformed into loyalty. From this, it can be seen that the monarch is like a shadow watch, and the minister is like a shadow, and when the watch moves, the shadow moves with it.

The court looked like a gentleman and a virtuous, and beautiful appearance, Ouyang Yin, who did dirty work, became a man with a back pot, and early the next morning, Li Er wrote an edict: Ouyang Yin, the prince of Nanhai County, has a loss of virtue and is not of great use, and he will be knighted as the Duke of Nanhai County, and he will be demoted to the history of Gwangju Thorn.

In this way, it not only appeased the dissatisfaction of the courtiers, but also gave Wang Xi an explanation, Wang Xi could not hide in the mansion all the time, so he returned to his duty as the prince's attendant.

I don't know why, the crown prince Li Chengqian's attitude towards Wang Xi has become extraordinarily kind, which makes the eldest grandson Jiaqing, who has been a waiter for six years, very happy.

Li Er originally ordered Kong Yingda and Lu Deming to teach the princes to read, but since Wang Xi entered the palace, he has never seen Kong Yingda...

Lu Deming Lu old master is also a wonderful person, because Wang Xi generously spread the three-character scripture in the world to respect it in every way, personally promised to make a name for it, and then it is even more practiced, when people say, such knowledge is so public, the ancient sage is just so cloudy, the old man has been immersed in learning all his life, silent disputes, and has a clear reputation in Confucianism, so famous for Wang Xi at this moment, so that the Confucianism of the Tang Dynasty has a lot of discussions.

Wang Xi was grateful, seeing that the food in the palace was either too greasy, or the taste was too spicy and too stimulating, and the old man's teeth were not good, so he often stopped eating a few bites under the symbol.

Wang Xi personally cooked every day before entering the palace, made a few delicious meals, carefully stored them in the lunch box, and waited for the regular banquet in the Chongwen Hall at noon, so he asked the little eunuch beside Li Chengqian to heat it up and share it with the old master.

Datang is still a separate meal system, regardless of monarchs and colleagues, the meal is not at the same table, at this moment, an old and a small pair are sitting on a table, chewing on the case, there is nothing to speak of.

The eldest grandson Jiaqing on the side was dumbfounded, and he intuitively felt that the old master Lu Deming had learned badly with Wang Xi.

Lu Deming chewed a piece of braised pork, and said with great joy: "It is said that the aardvark meat is fishy, and if you don't enter the table, you can't imagine that it can be so delicious." He pointed to the tea brewed by Wang Xi himself: "With such a way of cooking tea, it is really the supreme enjoyment in the world, if it can be like this every day, even if it is worth ten years of short life!" ”

Wang Xi pouted and said: "The food in the world is not only like this, pork meat is less than the cost of cattle and sheep, but the kitchen is stupid, so that the delicious pearl is dusty, at this time there are few winter ingredients, and the boy will make a few more vegetable dishes in the future, and the old man will enjoy it!" ”

Li Chengqian, who was on the main seat, looked enviously at the teacher and Wang Xi feasting, and then looked at the greasy mutton in his rice bowl, which was fishy and greasy, and he had no appetite. I really wanted to put down the shelf and run over to eat with Wang Xi and the others, but the long-term domestication of the palace made him stop his impulse very rationally, and he also understood that the eldest grandson Jiaqing and the chief chamberlain behind him would never allow him to eat any unknown food from outside. The prince of a country is not as happy as Wang Xilai!

At this time, all the princes were brought back to the queen mother, and there were only the eldest grandson Jiaqing, Lu Deming and Wang Xi dining in the main hall.

"What a delicious meal!" Li Er strode in, followed by Gao Fucheng and Ouyang Yin with a group of guards.

Everyone got up and saluted, Li Er waved his hand and walked to Lu Deming's table to look at the braised pork, and then looked at Wang Xi and said, "You did it?" ”

Gao Fucheng took a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, smiled and took out a pair of clean chopsticks and handed it to Li Erdao: "Your Majesty, it is indeed delicious, not much better than the imperial chef in the palace." ”

Li Er didn't think it was leftovers, so he took the chopsticks and walked away directly with the basin~~~~

Li Er sat on Li Chengqian's main seat and feasted, and the eunuchs brought a few plates of mutton and soup and set a table for Li Chengqian.

Wang Xi was annoyed in his heart, snatching people's food, so shameless, fortunately, the old master had an appetite, and he had eaten almost at the moment, and he was looking at Li Chengqian's studies with a smile.

Li Er ate all the braised pork and ordered the meal to be taken down: "I Dao Yunmeng Mountain is the holy land of ancient learning, I didn't expect this way of cooking to be so clever. ”

He looked at Wang Xi again and said: "Wang Shishu read the method of suturing the external injuries offered a few days ago, Zuo Xiaowei tried the method with death row prisoners in prison, and the effect is remarkable, as for the management of the wounded barracks, it will take time to inspect the school, I have always had clear rewards and punishments, since I have merit, I will not hesitate to reward, I heard that Wang Shishu is about to break the cooking in the house, Wang Shishu also wants gold and silver rewards this time?" ”

I don't want to see Li Er's playful face, but what he said is indeed right, Wang Xi originally expected Liu Zuojiang to make a chair so that he could have a source of income, and Liu Zuojiang did live up to expectations, the Taishi chair is the same as Wang Xi imagined, Wang Xi asked Liu Zuojiang to make a hundred Taishi chairs, as well as twenty matching high-legged Eight Immortal Tables.

Datang does not have a shop that specializes in tables, chairs and utensils, Wang Xi asked Zhang Shi and others to wait for a few days to set up a stall in the East Market, and there were many onlookers, but none of them were sold!

Think about it, the Hu stool has appeared in the Central Plains since the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the former Sui Dynasty, but the scholars and doctors who are used to kneeling and sitting are only used when there is no one at home, and it is impossible to entertain guests! The chair is just a stool with armrests, how can it be recognized in a short period of time! It was Wang Xi who miscalculated!

Inadvertently seeing Ouyang Yin's indifferent face, Wang Xi was angry in his heart, and slowly filled the teacup with boiling water: "Since Your Majesty wants a reward, then please ask Your Majesty to forgive the crime of rudeness and disrespect!" ”

Li Er looked at Wang Xi suspiciously, and asked carefully, Wang Xi had already grown up, picked up the teacup, and threw it at Ouyang Yin, who was under Li Er's head!

Ouyang Yin grabbed the teacup with his hand, but the hot tea was splashed all over his face, the prince, Lu Deming and others were all shocked, Gao Fucheng shouted: "Escort!" ”

A team of guards was divided into two, one of them was in front of Li Er, and the other part drew their knives to surround Wang Xi in the middle.

Lu Deming was so excited that he hurriedly knelt in front of Li Er: "Your Majesty! The king's reading comes from the mountains and fields is not because of the world, and the failure of the monarch is the fault of the ministers, please forgive your majesty! As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xi anxiously while kowtowing, not understanding why Wang Xi, who seemed to be shrewd on weekdays, was so reckless!

Ouyang Yin's face was full of tea, his face was burned red, and his face was shaking, but he couldn't hold back and didn't scream in pain, and looked at Wang Xi indifferently as always: "In this way, maybe it will slow down the hatred in Wang's heart?!" ”

Wang Xi's eyes were red, and he looked at him viciously: "Traitor! When you put your two-year-old son on the stove that day, did you have a trace of humanity in your heart?! I can't wait to eat your flesh and blood to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”

"Alas, ...••" Li Er waved his hand to order the guards to retreat, and asked Li Chengqian to help Lu Deming sit on the side: "Ouyang Yin is an eagle dog under my command, since the previous dynasty, he has been specially trained by foreign officials, and his methods are inevitably a little poisonous, I am not going to accompany you for him, I have also punished him, I heard that there is a small night watching outside your mansion, I ordered him to secretly protect the safety of your mansion, in order to redeem the merits, they are all ministers who are useful for the country, don't lose yourself!" ”

Li Er didn't wait for Wang Xi's reply, so he left with his attendants.

"Wait" Wang Xi stopped Ouyang Yin, looked at one of the two horizontal knives on his waist and said: "If you are not mistaken, I am afraid this is not your thing!" ”

Ouyang Yin took down the horizontal knife and said, "Can the king know this knife?" ”

Wang Xi snatched it, drew his knife and glanced at it: "This is the knife of a certain father-in-law, I once named it Dawn!" My father-in-law once used this knife to kill more than ten people in Hulu, I don't know if Lord Ouyang can return to the original owner?! ”

Ouyang Yin said: "This knife was obtained by chance when a certain day was chasing the traces of the Turks, and it was collected for its own use when it was well cast, since it was a thing to read and respect the father, it should be returned to the original owner, but the foreign minister could not hold the blade in the palace, please rest assured that he would send someone to your mansion later." ”

Although Wang Xi was not angry, he also knew that what Ouyang Yin said was the truth, so he had to hand over Dawn to him again.

Lu Deming reprimanded Wang Xi well! foaming at the mouth, Wang Xi was extremely grateful in his heart, and he was eager to intercede, and his love was undoubtedly revealed, and Wang Xi respected this elder.

The eldest grandson Jiaqing looked at Wang Xi's face but his face was complicated and ruthless, just Ouyang Yin was only five steps away from His Majesty, how could this Wang Xi dare to hurt people?! What should I do if I hurt Your Majesty? In other words, if he is an ordinary courtier, it is okay to treat him for the crime of stabbing in front of the king, but His Majesty has no intention of blaming him at all, and he is kind of to appease, who can reach this grace?
