Chapter 701: A Shocking Case (7)
The eldest grandson Shunde knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously to plead guilty:
"Your Majesty, there is no way for the ministers to teach their children, please forgive your Majesty! Please forgive your Majesty! Li Jiancheng smiled.
"That's it! The eldest grandson Aiqing! The eldest grandson is corrupt and bribe-taking, that's because your family lacks these things, okay, you can take these things back! Especially those silk silks, I want you to bring them back personally, and I have people bring back other things for you. As for your son, I will also send him back to your house, so you can do it yourself! After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, cold sweat broke out on his head. When leaving, the eldest grandson Shunde walked in vain footsteps. The back looked very lonely (after the eldest grandson Shunde returned home, the news of the violent death of the eldest grandson was immediately reported).
"Ladies and gentlemen! In addition, Zhang Qianli also felt sorry for me, and committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine, and I had already repented, and ordered the Yamen to only recover the property he had taken and returned to the people in Hangzhou and Muzhou, and did not implicate his family, and I also issued a special decree to exempt the people in Hangzhou and Muzhou from paying taxes for three years to atone for my sins. When the ministers heard Li Jiancheng say that he was guilty, they immediately knelt down. Shout hooray. Xiao Yu felt that it was time for her to say something. Just as Xiao Yu was about to leave the class, Li Jiancheng opened his mouth again.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, this guilty person has been punished, and this meritorious one should be rewarded. I have already issued an order, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War will preferentially select and discuss the attachΓ©s of the King of Hengshan, and give them knights and officials. In addition, Xuan Shenguang and Zhang Shuyin entered the hall! Mingyu's father-in-law immediately shouted:
"Xuan Shenguang and Zhang Shuyin enter the hall!" After Shen Guang and Zhang Shuyin entered the hall.
"Grass people Shen Guang (Zhang Shuyin) see the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live long live! β
"Shen Guang! I've checked the archives of the former Sui! During the Great Cause, he was called to join the army to crusade against Goryeo, and because of his courage in battle, he was appreciated by Emperor Yang of Sui, and immediately appointed him as a doctor for the court, rewarded him with swords and good horses, and often took him with him, and had a close relationship. In order to avenge the former Emperor Yang of Sui, he assassinated Yu Wenhua and followed, loyal and commendable, and now, you have made such a great contribution to my son, I will title you as a loyal and righteous uncle, hereditary replacement! β
"Thank you, Lord Ron!"
"Uncle Zhang!"
"The grass people are here!"
"I heard that you were originally an official of the Muzhou Thorn History Mansion, and you were deeply respected by the eldest grandson at that time."
"Yes!"
"I will now crown you as the chief of the Muzhou Assassin History, and order you to assist the new Assassin to appease the hearts of the people of Muzhou!" After Zhang Shuyin heard Li Jiancheng's words, he didn't immediately receive the order to thank him! Instead, he stood there and did not move.
"Hmmm! Zhang Shuyin, why don't you thank the emperor!? Zhang Shuyin knelt on the ground:
"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister is unwilling to thank him, it's just that the minister admires His Royal Highness the King of Hengshan, and I implore Your Majesty to place the minister next to His Royal Highness the King of Hengshan!"
"Oh! That's it! All right! I agreed to your request, and I named you the six-grade subordinate official of the Hengshan Palace, and as for the authority, it will be arranged by Li Chengdao, the king of Hengshan! β
"Yes! Thank you, Lord Long! No one noticed that a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Shuyin's mouth.
"Li Chengdao, the king of Hengshan, is out of the ranks." Li Chengdao heard Li Jiancheng shouting about himself, and immediately went out of the ranks.
"Erchen is here!"
"Lee Seung-do! You care about the community. Fearless of hardships and dangers, he went to Hangzhou to expose the harmful actions of the eldest grandson and his subordinates, and did not take into account the relationship with Zhang Qianli's relatives, and I was very relieved. Special crown you as the king of Zhao. Plus, you're not too young. Well! It's time to choose a virtuous and virtuous princess to accompany you. When Li Chengdao heard that Li Jiancheng was going to choose a concubine for himself, he was just about to speak-hoping that Li Jiancheng would marry Chen Zhen'er to himself. As a result, Li Jiancheng's next sentence made Lee Chengdao fall into hell. β
"Xiao Yu Aiqing!"
"The minister is here!"
"I remember, you seem to have a granddaughter, it seems to be called Xiao Hanyan, right?"
"Yes! Your Majesty! Xiao Yu somewhat understood what Li Jiancheng meant.
"Hmmm! I remember, when Hanyan was a child, he once said to me that he wanted to be a bride of the Tao! All right! I will fulfill her, and I canonize Xiao Hanyan as the concubine of Li Chengdao, the king of Zhao! The Ministry of Rites immediately held a canonization ceremony, and the Qilin secret guard commanded Di Renjie to be the marriage envoy and went to Xiao Mansion to send a dowry gift, I had already asked Qintian to calculate, three days later, it was an auspicious day, I decided to hold a ceremony for the concubines of King Zhao Li Chengdao and Xiao Hanyan in the main hall, Xiao Aiqing, in the future, I will become a family with you. β
"Minister Xiao Yu, thank Lord Longen!" Xiao Yu originally wanted to impeach Li Jiancheng in the court, and Li Chengdao brought back a beautiful woman in Jiangnan privately, which would damage the royal reputation, but since Li Jiancheng had already given marriage, of course he couldn't hold on to that woman. Li Chengdao still wants to fight for Chen Zhen'er in front of Li Jiancheng! Get down on your knees right away.
"Father! Erchen ......"
"King Zhao! Hurry back to your palace and get married! Don't talk about anything else! Ebb! After speaking, Li Jiancheng glanced at Minister Mingyu, and Father-in-law Mingyu immediately shouted:
"Retreat!" When Li Jiancheng walked to the harem, he said a word to Mingyu's father-in-law:
"Mingyu, do you say I'm a good father?" Mingyu's father-in-law didn't speak, and he was silent all the time - Li Jiancheng has been thinking about it for a few days, after Li Chengdao stabbed the matter of the eldest grandson, it will definitely cause some people to panic, Li Jiancheng knows that there are many people in the entire court who secretly accept bribes, and there must be many people involved in this matter, definitely not only Zhang Qianli and Jiang Xingwang. In addition, the eldest grandson family has a certain influence in the Longxi family, and Zhang Qianli also has a lot of friendship with the Jiangnan family. What kind of person is Jiang Xingwang, who used to be a palace guard. If it is completely investigated, I don't know how many people will release cold arrows at Lee Seung-do. And Chen Zhen'er is the most vulnerable place, no matter how Li Jiancheng places Chen Zhen'er, everyone will attack Li Chengdao, in order to immediately divert people's attention, on the one hand, Li Jiancheng is like a thin mud, and the big thing is small. On the other hand, Li Jiancheng announced his marriage to Xiao Yu, which could divert the attention of the court officials and the family. Of course, when others attack Li Chengdao, Xiao Yu will definitely try his best to protect Li Chengdao. The most important thing is that now Li Jiancheng needs Li Chengdao, and now the candidates for the crown prince in front of the hundred officials are Li Chengdao and Li Chenglu, if Li Chengdao is knocked down, Li Chenglu will become the only candidate for the crown prince in the eyes of the hundred official clans, and when the time comes, it is easy to form a situation where father and son compete for power. At this time, Li Jiancheng was the last thing he wanted to see. Also, that is, the Qilin Secret Guard in this matter has also aroused the fear and disgust of many people, and letting Di Ren be appointed as a marriage envoy is also a demonstration of Li Jiancheng's idea of relying on and maintaining Di Renjie. Of course, judging from this matter, the germ of capitalism has already begun, and in Europe, capitalism has had the tragedy of 'sheep eating people', and now, the same 'mulberry tree cannibalism phenomenon' has appeared in Muzhou and Hangzhou. And these phenomena all have one thing in common, that is, behind these phenomena, there are aristocrats behind them. Li Jiancheng is not averse to capitalism, and is not even willing to eradicate this sprout, Li Jiancheng believes that as long as it is correctly guided, capitalism will also become a road to prosperity in China. For the sake of the overall situation, Li Jiancheng had to sacrifice his son's emotions. After retreating from the dynasty, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty congratulated Xiao Yu and Li Chengdao.
"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the master!"
"Congratulations to the prince for becoming the king of one word! Congratulations to Xiangye's granddaughter for becoming the emperor's daughter-in-law! In the future, the Xiao family will definitely rise to the top! β
"Congratulations to the prince, Miss Xiao is a famous beauty in our Chang'an, and the prince and Miss Xiao are talented and beautiful!"
"Lord Wang, Xiangye! This is the first time that the emperor has held the prince's concubine in the main hall, and it seems that the prince is not low in the emperor's heart! β
"Ahh Thank you, thank you, and be sure to have a drink at my house then! β
"Certainly, definitely, the lower officials must prepare a generous gift!" Compared with Xiao Yu's spring breeze, Li Chengdao's face did not show a little bit of happiness. Three days later, in the Xuanzheng Palace. Li Jiancheng sat on the dragon throne, and Empress Zheng Wanzhen and Concubine Yang Yan sat on Li Jiancheng's left and right. Li Chengdao pulled Xiao Hanyan, wearing a bright red wedding robe, and came to Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng signaled Yan Liben, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to give Li Chengdao and Xiao Hanyan the golden seal symbolizing the status of the prince and the golden book of the princess.
"Chengdao, Hanyan, I have given you the golden seal of the prince's identity and the golden book of the princess, from today on, you are husband and wife, I hope you can love each other in the future and give birth to a noble son as soon as possible." Immediately afterwards, Queen Zheng Wanzhen and Concubine Yang Yan also took out their gifts to Xiao Hanyan, especially Concubine Yang Yan, who gave Xiao Hanyan a pair of golden Ruyi.
"Smoke of the cold! This is male and female, it was given to me by my aunt's mother when my aunt married the emperor, and now, my aunt gave them to you, and in the future, Chengdao will be taken care of by you. Then, Yang Yan said to Xiao Hanyan in a very small voice:
"Smoke of the cold! The most important thing now is that you have to give birth to a son for Chengdao as soon as possible! Han Yan looked at Yang Guifei shyly.
"Mother, the child must work hard." And Li Chengdao didn't say a word at the ceremony, his hands kept touching the sachet around his waist, and he always thought about the scene of Chen Zhen'er leaving - Chen Zhen'er packed all his clothes, and put the jewelry that Li Chengdao gave him on the table, Li Chengdao wanted to say something to Chen Zhen'er, but he couldn't say a word.
"Lord Wang, take care!" Looking at Chen Zhen'er's distant back, a few tears fell from the corners of Li Chengdao's eyes!
In Zhao Wangfu, in the happy room of Li Chengdao and Xiao Hanyan, Xiao Hanyan sat on the happy bed, looking at the red happy words, Xiao Hanyan's heart didn't know how happy he was. At this time, Li Chengdao was helped in, and seeing Li Chengdao's drunken appearance, Xiao Hanyan complained to Xiao Xinyu:
"Brother! How do you make Chengdao drink so much wine! Xiao Xinyu smiled and said to Xiao Hanyan:
"Sister, the prince is happy! So drink a few more glasses! After Xiao Xinyu put Li Chengdao on the bed, he went out, Xiao Hanyan took a towel soaked in water and wiped Li Chengdao's face, but Li Chengdao held Xiao Hanyan's hand and didn't let go:
"Don't go! Please don't go! Xiao Hanyan said softly to Li Chengdao:
"I'm not leaving! I'm here with you! β
"Zhen'er, you're so nice!" After listening to Li Chengdao's words, Xiao Hanyan suddenly realized something.
