Chapter 224: The Aftermath of Selling a Pony

The "storytelling" field dispersed, and after the Son of Heaven retreated into the hall, the ministers came out one after another. Li You, Zhu Fanghe, and a number of Hanlin officials, who wore green robes, could only avoid the side, and those wearing red robes should go first.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Fanghe whispered to Li You: "You, this face learns so fast. Persuade Your Majesty not to entertain yourself, can you do it yourself? ”

"Being in the realm, I have to do it." Li You said helplessly. He stared at the back of the old man who had just reported to the Son of Heaven that he was asked to be the official of the court, and asked with a crooked mouth, "Who is this person?" ”

Zhu Fanghe knew what Li You was thinking, and said with a smile: "Yuan Ge Lao." ”

It turned out to be the bachelor who was generally not popular with Beijing officials, and it was really hateful! Li You scolded a few words in his heart. I really can't think of any reason for him to suddenly jump out and do more, is it to cater to the bad taste of the Son of Heaven?

This time Li You really guessed correctly, Yuan Ge always wanted to be able to secretly please the Son of Heaven in a small place, and at the same time there was no risk, and he also praised Li You on the surface, and he would not fall into the hands of others. His style of acting has always been like this, otherwise how could the emperor directly promote him into the cabinet without being pushed by the court, and he has been promoted to the throne of Wenhua Palace.

The two walked out of the hall, and Zhu Fanghe asked as he walked, "Who is Lin Daiyu?" Why did the Son of Heaven ask you how this person was doing when he first saw you? ”

Li You said briefly: "This is a character in a book circulated in Jiangnan. ”

Zhu Fanghe was very interested and asked, "What kind of book is it?" ”

Li You frowned for a long time, "It is a book of beautiful talents, and the boudoir has read a lot." The author has some relationship with me, and I don't know how the Son of Heaven knows this book when he lives in the deep palace, which is strange. ”

After all, Zhu Fanghe was familiar with the affairs of the palace, and after a little thought, he had an answer, and guessed: "At the beginning of the year, the Queen Mother issued an edict and selected a group of female officials from Jiangnan to enrich the palace, which is not from this." ”

Li You suddenly realized, that must be. Most of the female officials in the palace are older, able to write and write, and do things in a measured manner. In these years, the cultural level of women in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was relatively high, and female officials often chose this place. So it is not strange that these people brought a few copies of "Daiyu Guanyuan Ji" into the palace, but somehow let the Son of Heaven see it.

Thinking of this, Li You couldn't help but ask: "What books does the Son of Heaven read most?" ”

I only heard Zhu Fanghe sigh: "Cisheng Palace and Guide Chitose are very strict with the Son of Heaven, and every time they say that they can't read scriptures, historical records, poems, current policies, and calendars, they dare not disobey the devotees. ”

Li You lowered the volume to the lowest: "Is there anyone in the harem of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Zhu Fanghe pondered for a moment for Li You's question, shook his head and said, "It should be nothing." Cisheng Palace is afraid that the Son of Heaven will hurt his body when he is young, and it is strictly forbidden for women to be close to him, and the female officials used in the Qianqing Palace are all middle-aged women. ”

What is this? Li You sighed in his heart for the bitter life of His Majesty the Emperor.

It is estimated that this poor adolescent boy lives in Ziyue Shiyun all day long, and when he accidentally sees a "Daiyu View of the Garden" from the female official, it is like picking up a treasure, even if it is a reverse harem text, he is hungry.

And the Queen Mother and Chitose strictly prevented the internal supervisor from offering evil books to instigate the Son of Heaven according to the lessons of history, but they didn't expect that the female officials also had works that crossed the ages.

Li You can conclude that the use of spring boudoirs to ask questions is not the intentional misconduct of the Son of Heaven, but the manifestation of a gradually developing teenager who is very curious about related things... There are still fewer people who write about girlfriends in Tang poems and Song lyrics? Probably this is the largest surname education that the Son of Heaven has received.

It's a pity, Your Majesty's little pleasure was mistaken for a joke by Lord Li today, and it was refuted with righteous words for the sake of his own image.

Seeing that he walked to the side of the Huiji Gate, Zhu Fanghe wanted to go out, and he remembered something before parting: "I haven't seen Lin Fuma in recent months, it's very weird, I have inquired in many ways, but I heard that I haven't gone out when I stay in the eldest princess's mansion." Did Master Li know the inside story? It is said that you used to enter the Pony Mansion at night. ”

Li You secretly said that this horse is under house arrest, and of course Guide Chitose will not be stupid enough to spread the truth of the matter, otherwise he will tell the truth and ask for trouble.

How do I talk to Zhu Bulang? Li You, who played a dishonorable role in it, was also very difficult. In the end, he said succinctly: "The horse entrusted me to beat the drum to sue the eldest princess, and the petition is in my hands..."

That's right, it's to save the foreplay of Lord Li to lure the donkey to the hook.

Zhu Fanghe was shocked and said, "He wants to be so decisive? ”

Li You looked at Zhu Fanghe's expression and continued: "I don't know what to do, but I think that I really can't afford the consequences of beating the drum, if the royal face is gone, it is all my fault." He handed the pleadings to the eldest princess. ”

Zhu Fanghe sighed and left, "Although it is helpless, then you can make the horse miserable." ”

When Li You returned to the cabinet, it was already noon, and it was time for dinner.

In order to prevent fires, it is forbidden to cook and eat in the cabinet, and everyone must go out of the cabinet to eat, and scholars are no exception.

In the corner of the cabinet courtyard, there is a moon gate, and through the moon gate is a separate row of dining houses, which are not connected to other buildings, and it is said that it is to prevent cooking fires from accidentally burning to the central center.

Li You stood outside the door of the dining room, and when he saw that there were twenty or so colleagues eating inside, he wondered where he should sit.

At this moment, I saw another familiar inner prison hurriedly walking into the courtyard and shouted, "Master Li! Return to the Lord Chitose please! ”

There was a sudden silence in the dining room, and the surprise in everyone's hearts was beyond words.

The oldest of them has been in the cabinet for more than 20 years, and although he is in Ouchi, he has never been summoned alone by royal nobles such as the Son of Heaven, the eldest princess, and the queen mother.

And how can this Li You be virtuous, it is said that he is just a foreign boy who relies on the recommendation of the heavenly officials, and he has no serious background, and he actually has a series of favors within half a day of taking office? Especially the Chitose who is second only to the Queen Mother in the palace, it is rare to hear that she summoned the ministers alone.

This person is unusual, it seems that he needs to be reacquainted, everyone thought in unison.

Li You had no choice but to go out of the pavilion with the inner supervisor again. This inner eunuch surnamed Wu who came to invite him is indeed a little familiar, and he was sent by the eldest princess three times and twice, can he not be familiar.

However, he saw Gonggong Wu leading the way in front of him, bypassing the Wenhua Hall from the east and continuing to the north.

Li You had inquired a little about the layout of the Great Inner before, and knew that the north of the Wenhua Hall was the Duanben Palace, which was known as the Prince's East Palace, and of course there was no Prince now. I couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?" ”

Gonggong Wu replied: "Go to the side hall of the palace, which is a place for Guide Chitose to take a break in the palace. ”

Li You was speechless in admiration, the eldest princess Chitose is really a generation of fierce women, and she dares to use it in such a special place as Duanben Palace.

Gonggong Wu guessed what Li You was thinking, and chuckled: "What's the fuss, before the emperor died, he also wanted to change the name of Duanben Palace and give it to Guide Chitose to live." Chitose did not accept the resignation, and only received the side hall. The first emperor gave it, who dares to make irresponsible remarks? The cover is very close to Donghua Gate, and Chitose is easy to enter and exit. ”

The name of the palace is Zhaofeng, the base is low, and the temple body regulation is not large, Li You said in his heart after seeing it, this thousand years old is not without scruples.

For some reason, the eldest princess of Guide was sitting on the chair in a daze, and she didn't even notice that Li You was being led in.

There are left and right palace maids to remind, the eldest princess suddenly woke up, the previous faint sorrow was swept away, and she instantly regained her vitality, and praised Li You: "Lord Li is said to be a saint today, and his advice is decent, and I hope to help the young master a lot in the future, don't be slack, and the court will live up to the virtuous." ”

Li You bowed slightly, thanking him. These few words are definitely not the theme, and we are waiting.

"There are only a few days before the queen mother's longevity, and the congratulatory poem that Lord Li should undertake has ever been drafted?"

Li You instantly sweated, since the edict was issued, he ate and drank every day, but he really forgot about it. Fortunately, there is still time now, so I can't just copy a random poem. So he replied, "I already have a manuscript, and I will present these two words." ”

Well, this is still not the theme of the eldest princess's meeting with Li You.

Guide Chitose retreated left and right into the distance, and let Li You take a few steps forward. The distance was even so close that Lord Li's nose was filled with a sweet aroma, and for a while he was actually a little ape-like.

"The Queen Mother's longevity event, my husband and wife are indispensable for etiquette, but the horse is very inappropriate now..."The eldest princess said in a low voice.

What's the wrong way? Li You ignored it and bowed his head and counted the bricks.

"I have to ask Master Li to persuade the horse." The eldest princess finally figured out the intention of summoning Li You.

It is said that last time, Li You simply betrayed Lin Yuma, and after the pleading text was unfolded in the hands of the eldest princess, he was almost going to blow up Chitose, not to mention that he would arrest the horse and put him under house arrest in the princess's mansion, and the province would come out with a demon moth again.

Later, Guide Chitose wanted to have a serious conversation with Lin Juma to eliminate the hidden dangers in his backyard. But it seems that Lin Yuma, who has been oppressed for many years, seems to have found a life-saving straw, or that he was brainwashed by Lord Li very successfully, recognized the three words of Dengwen Drum, and kept saying that he wanted to make a fuss for relief, and the eldest princess was tired and quarreled with it several times to no avail, and Lin Yuma continued to be under house arrest. In fact, it doesn't have any effect, usually the court meeting can tell the horse to be sick, and who dares to find the eldest prince after the fox friends and dog friends who come and go see the horse disappear?

But seeing the Queen Mother's birthday, the eldest princess and the concubine, as the only daughter and son-in-law of the Queen Mother, can't help but meet the occasion. However, with Lin Yuma's angry appearance, how dare Guide Chitose rest assured? If there is really an accident on the queen mother's birthday, how can she have this thousand-year-old face? It's really sad to kill people.

The eldest princess said that she was not convinced or convinced by the Lin Pony who had drilled the tip of the horns, and she had no choice but to ask Li You to persuade her.

Whether it is from the complaint itself or the content of the pleading, it is not easy to publicize, and it is easy to trigger an uncontrollable chain reaction. In the case that it is easy to leak secrets with the help of others, Guide Chitose can only invite Li You, who knows the inside story, to go.

A royal chore... Li You, who didn't want to fall deeper and deeper into it, hurriedly shirked a few words.

Guide Chitose frowned, and the jade hand patted the case: "Li You! The source of this matter is because of you, and I will tell you in time, and I will not care about you. But the dignified eight-foot man's body, dare to do it, do you dare to care? ”

"It's not that I don't want to help, but because I have nothing to say, I can't persuade the horse."

Guide Chitose said confidently: "I have prepared the rhetoric for you, and I just borrowed your mouth." You just go and read from the book. ”

Intimidated by the eldest princess's forced invitation, Li You finally had to go. But what he never dreamed of was that this trip had added countless colors to his life, and the originally clearly visible roadmap seemed to be messed up.
