Chapter 10: The Emperor Summons
Yang Yi stepped into the house, sixteen glass lamps illuminated the room transparently, the room was slightly simple, there were two bookshelves on the left and right, and there was a screen behind the bookshelf, and the white crane picture of the mountains and rivers was painted on the screen, and the decoration was simple and majestic.
There is a large case facing the door, and there is Qingmu sandalwood next to the case, and the sandalwood is smoky and smells very good. In addition to sandalwood, there were a few thick stacks of concerts and books on the table, almost covering the emperor after the case, giving Yang Yi a sense of immediacy of a high school student's desk in his previous life.
"Son-in-law Yang Yi has seen his father." Yang Yi felt that his knees were about to swell tonight.
Fortunately, the emperor just finished approving a piece of music, put it in his right hand, looked up at Yang Yidao, and said, "Well, get up." After speaking, he took a notebook from the left and continued to read it.
Yang Yi got up and waited aside, peeking at Emperor Weizong, when he was congratulating, the emperor was wearing a crown and couldn't see the appearance clearly, at this time, he only felt that his cheap Lao Tzu was older than he imagined, less than sixty, but he already had some gray hair, and his face looked like he was over seventy years old, and I don't know if it was like this in ancient times.
After the emperor finished reading another pair of folds, he put down his pen, looked up at Yang Yi, took a sip of the strong tea on the side and said, "Is your mother okay?" ”
Yang Yi bowed, his brows furrowed, and the first thing he said was to make himself angry.
Yang Yi can imagine that if he hadn't crossed the Great Light and became this foolish Nine Emperor Princes, he could imagine how difficult the life of Concubine Ning's mother and son would be, that is, to stay a silly son and be widowed, and there would be no hope.
He wanted to vent and say, "Why don't you know your wife?" You ask me? "This kind of man was called a scumbag in his previous life, and he could be drowned by public opinion!
But in the end, I held back. replied indifferently: "Mother is fine." ”
The emperor looked at the flickering candles on the side, and seemed to say to himself: "I owe her all these years." ”
The emperor seemed to have thought of something, and pondered for a long time before saying, "I heard that Concubine Li asked you to come to the court?" ”
"Yes."
"You beat Concubine Li's personal eunuch out of human shape?"
Li Yi was worried, is this a defendant, and said hurriedly: "Father, the eunuch was beaten by a child, and it has nothing to do with his mother." ”
The emperor looked at Yang Yi with interest and said, "What is the matter for you to beat a eunuch as a prince, not to mention that this dog slave is disrespectful." ”
"But what you did was a little reckless, at least you shouldn't be so reckless in front of Concubine Li."
"Concubine Li..."
The emperor waved his hand to interrupt Yang Yi, took another piece of paper, and said while looking at it: "I didn't say that you shouldn't fight, but when you do things in the palace, you must look at the timing and location, and you have to think more about it?" ”
Yang Yi said lightly: "Father said that the emperor laughed, the child is a fool, and a fool will only make a move when he should make a move." ”
The emperor was stunned when he heard this, looked at Yang Yi, and said with a smile: "Haha, I forgot, my ninth son is a fool." ”
"Children are fools, fools have no routines to do things, as long as a fool thinks that whoever bullies my mother is my enemy of life and death."
The emperor was not angry, but nodded and said, "It seems that sometimes you fool is more sensible than a smart person. ”
Yang Yidao: "What a fool understands is not reason, but nature, and this nature even animals will have." ”
"Well, this nature does be understood by animals, but sometimes people forget it."
"Yi'er, you have to promise your father to protect your mother with your fool's heart."
Yang Yi was a little surprised, because he felt that the emperor was very serious: "The child understands. ”
"How old are you?" The emperor said suddenly.
"Back to my father, my son will be seventeen in April."
"Why don't you go to school?"
"Zongxue won't accept a fool like me."
Emperor Weizong did not appoint a crown prince, so the princes went to school in Zongxue, and Concubine Ning also went to Zongxue several times, wanting Yang Yi to go to school, but she was always refused, and no big man was willing to teach a fool, which was an insult to them.
"Then you go to Guozi to study."
"Huh?"
Guozixue is also a kind of official school of the national dynasty, different from Zongxue, it is known as the sea and all rivers, whether you have talent or money, you can go to school, and there have been many people, bachelors.
On the way back, Yang Yi kept thinking about leaving, the emperor said, "Sometimes love is not love, and not love is not love." ”
This sentence seems to have a deep meaning, but in Yang Yi's opinion, it is extremely ridiculous, this is an irresponsible attitude, inaction? It doesn't work everywhere.
Back at the residence, Yang Yi was tired like a dead dog, sat on the chair with his buttocks, and told the dumb woman to quickly fetch a basin of water to soak her feet.
When she was closing her eyes and recuperating, Concubine Ning walked out of the inner room.
"The child woke up his mother."
Concubine Ning shook her head: "You didn't come back, how did I sleep." ”
"Mother don't worry, everything is going well, my father likes that embroidery painting very much."
Yang Yi thought about it, and still told him about the emperor's conversation with him.
Concubine Ning was stunned for a while before she said: "He already has gray hair, alas, there is always something to do." ”
Yang Yi pursed his lips and said, "That position has been difficult to sit in since ancient times, being a Ming Jun was tired to death, and being a faint Jun was scolded to death." ”
Seeing his mother's blaming gaze, Yang Yi quickly shut up.
"My father told me to go to Guozi to study."
Ning Fei finally smiled: "Good thing." ”
Yang Yi rubbed his temples, for a "gentleman", there seems to be no difference between going to school and going to prison.
"But I went to Guozi School, what should you do, mother?"
"Do you mean you're taking care of my diet?" Concubine Ning completely ignored Yang Yi's conspiracy and did not give any leeway.
Yang Yi's entry into Guozi to study was also a comfort to Concubine Ning, but it was a torment for Yang Yi, because in his previous life, he had proved that he was not a student of reading.
After all, it didn't make her mother soften.
Yang Yi sent his mother back in frustration, and when he came out, he found that the dumb woman had not yet brought the water, Yang Yi was a little annoyed, so he went straight to the back kitchen.
The rules in the palace are that only the queen and a few favored concubines can have their own kitchens, except for Yang Yi's mother and son, because the imperial dining room didn't even count their food, let alone someone sent it.
When Yang Yi came to the back kitchen, he was startled, only to see the bucket overturned to the ground, and the water sprinkled all over the ground was bright by the moonlight.
Yang Yi's heart was cold, and he walked up quickly.
"Dumb woman?"
"Ah~~ah!!"
The mute woman shrunk into the eaves and shivered, babbling so hard that she couldn't make out what she was saying.
On closer inspection, there were two people lying motionless in the courtyard. Yang Yi went up and kicked two feet but didn't react, I don't know if he fainted or died.
Yang Yi squatted down, frowned and looked carefully, both of them were dressed as eunuchs, and it seemed that there was a fierce fight.
"Are you alright, dumb woman?" Yang Yi carefully helped the dumb woman up, and he could see that she was frightened.
The mute woman pointed to the people on the ground, babbling again, as if she was very worried.
"It's okay dumb woman, don't disturb your mother, I'll write you a note, and you go find the head of the guard on duty."
Tomorrow I have to go to Guozixue to report, and Yang Yi feels that he must drive away these sticky flies.
A note saying "There is an assassin" was enough to make the guards on duty break out in a cold sweat, but a team of guards came hurriedly with lanterns in half a column of incense.
Yang Yi leaned against the door, knocked on the melon seeds, and leisurely watched the guards inspect it, and then carried the body out.
"Hey, who's that, you, come over to you." Yang Yi is like a humane wearing silver armor and seems to be the leader.
The man turned around and saw Yang Yi calling himself, he was stunned for a moment, but still walked up the steps.
"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes." The man bowed his head and bowed softly.
"What's your name?"
"Subordinate Zuo Wuwei Xiaocai General Hong Zhi."
Hong Zhi's answer was very flat, and he didn't seem surprised that a stupid prince called him.
Yang Yi looked at the corpses carried out by the guards, and looked at Hong Zhidao: "Do you know these two people?" ”
Yang Yifang saw very clearly that Hong Zhi and the others were a little nervous when they first came in, but they eased up a lot after seeing the faces of the two corpses.
Hong Zhi was stunned for a moment and said, "These two people are the eunuchs on duty in the palace tonight. He didn't say which palace the two men were in on duty.
It is a tacit matter for the concubines to spy on each other in the palace, but what annoys Hong Zhi is that these two eunuchs are too bold, since they ran in and were discovered. He was very worried that this stupid prince would ask him whose two people were in the palace, whether he told Yang Yi or not, it would be a thankless task.
But Yang Yi asked, "Why do you think these two people are lying here?" ”
"The subordinates have checked, and the two should have beaten each other and both fainted."
Yang Yi nodded, put the melon seeds in his hand into his pocket, patted the scum shell on his hand and said: "I don't care what they are doing here, and I don't ask where they came from, I just hope that General Hong can send some more sentry around here after tomorrow, so as not to let these flies disturb my mother." ”
"It's... The subordinates will invite the Imperial City Division. "It's unabashedly official.
Yang Yi felt that he was very passive, he didn't like this feeling very much, and even disgusted, he felt that he needed to change, it was difficult for Yang Yi to do this kind of thing like a pig and eating a tiger, he was not a pig, and he didn't have the heart to play a pig.
If you have to compare it, Yang Yi would rather be a cobra basking in the desert, and never mind giving a bite to passers-by who disturb him or his mother's rest.
