Chapter 336: Candied fruit at home
This time, Ye Linchen inspected the Yellow River and naturally gained a lot of knowledge, and punished many people with vigorous and resolute means, and the news that he came back to bring Emperor Li was naturally satisfactory. Although he didn't stew those rats in a pot because of Xie Yaoguang's opinion, he still picked a few still tender ones and sent them to Emperor Li, asking Emperor Li to convict.
Although Emperor Li has boasted of himself over the years, Ming Jun thinks that the country under his rule is peaceful and peaceful, but he also knows that this is not the case, so he can only turn a blind eye. However, the main reason why this society sent Ye Linchen to inspect the Yellow River was to cherish its reputation. After all, he is not young, so he can't let the history books criticize his behavior again and again.
Knowing that the purpose of Emperor Li sending himself to inspect the Yellow River was to find out those rats, Ye Linchen was not ambiguous, although the rats he caught were still tender, they also collected a lot of money. With the confessions of several people, the people of Wugoutai went out of Beijing for several days in a row to arrest all these people and return them to Beijing.
Among these people, King Shou and half of the party members of the abolished prince were mixed together, and the prince had been deposed, so naturally he could not get any punishment, and the unlucky only King Shou was left, and he was fined not to mention, and the days of being grounded in the mansion were increased for another two months. For a while, everyone in the court was in danger, and people who were a little more sensitive began to look for someone to take the line of Dingwang.
However, King Ding is an existence that does not enter oil and salt, and no matter how these people show goodwill, they are unmoved. Those courtiers who were good friends with King Ding were too lazy to bother with this matter.
As for King Shou, seeing that King Ding was so favored, he even wanted to suppress his limelight, and relied on wine to numb himself all day long. I heard the eyeliner of the house say that when he was drunk that day, he almost killed a pregnant concubine in the house, but fortunately Princess Shou stopped him so that it did not cause a tragedy.
During the lockdown, Empress Xu in the palace also came several times to admonish King Shou, but no one wanted to see King Shou, who was depressed and angry. directly asked Princess Shou to send the queen mother away for him, knowing that he couldn't control this son anymore. Even if Empress Xu is angry in his heart, he can only go back to the palace first and then make plans.
However, these days did not last long, and in the early morning of one day, Xu Guocheng, who had been cultivating himself at home behind closed doors, pretended to enter the palace to meet Emperor Li. No one knows what this Duke of Xu, who has been at home for many years, said to the emperor, and as soon as he left the palace, he issued an order to pardon King Shou's grounding.
Even the few other officials who had been implicated were largely reinstated, and the court returned to its former peaceful scene. But it was clear to everyone that it was just the calm before the storm, and that there was an even bigger storm to come.
When he learned from Gu Qingzhi about Xu Fuguo's entry into the palace, Xie Yaoguang was not surprised. After all, King Shou is his grandson, and if he doesn't enter the palace, no one will be able to help the prince.
To put it mildly, the Xu family has been extremely low-key over the years, and even more low-key than the Lu family, despite this, Xu Fuguo's majesty is still there. King Shou is the purpose of the Xu family who have been willing to keep their eyes on the light over the years, after all, King Shou exists for a day before their Xu family can stand.
Unlike the prince, who left endless disasters to the Lu family, the existence of the prince is tantamount to bringing the Lu family into the abyss of death. Therefore, at that time, Lu Lingshan had to abandon the prince to keep the path for a hundred years, after all, Emperor Li needed obedient courtiers rather than powerful relatives.

What really made Xie Yaoguang curious was what Xu Fuguo said to Emperor Li, so that Emperor Li agreed to lift King Shou's grounding. She guessed that this matter was mostly related to the old case, which was the deepest, most painful and most daring thorn in Emperor Li's heart, and it was also the deepest estrangement between him and King Ding's father and son.
She didn't believe that Emperor Li didn't doubt whether King Ding had the intention of overturning the case for those old people. It's just that today's Emperor Li has no other heirs to choose except King Shou and King Ding, so no matter what, he can only pretend not to know, continue to support King Ding and King Shou to compete, and finally select a qualified heir to inherit the throne. And the person who was eliminated from the game is afraid that it will not end well.
After all, Emperor Li also stepped on the white bones of his brother's siblings to get to his current position. He knew better than anyone what this position meant, and he knew that this position was tired of white bones and blood.
The first thing King Shou did after returning to the court was to shake hands with King Ding, and even put on a brother-friend-brother appearance to King Ding. Emperor Li was very satisfied with such a Shouwang, and naturally gave Shouwang a lot of rewards. However, King Shou gave all these rewards to King Ding. Wang Neng returned all the rewards to Emperor Li, and asked for a large amount of money to be distributed to the people in the suburbs of Beijing at that time, as well as the Salesian Hospital in Beijing and the people along the Yellow River.
This move naturally won a round of applause in the hearts of the people, and Ye Linchen did not take the credit, bluntly saying that this was what Emperor Li meant. Upon learning of this, Emperor Li also praised Ye Linchen. Only King Shou was angry, it turned out that he had looked down on Ye Linchen in the past. I thought that he could only get to where he is today by relying on Xie Yaoguang, but he didn't expect that he was also a powerful character, even more difficult to deal with than the prince.
How could King Shou, who had finally regained his strength, die down so easily. I guess what I'm planning in the dark.
"Yaoyao, when I was passing through Luoyang, I went to Luoyang City and happened to meet your second brother, he asked me to bring these things to you and said that they were your favorite candied fruits, and your mother made them for you." Ye Linchen handed the food box in his hand to Xie Yaoguang, and said softly: "I forgot about it some time ago, and I only remembered it today." ”
looked at the food box handed over by Ye Linchen, opened it, picked up a piece of dried apricots, and put it in her mouth, the taste was sweet and sour, it was indeed her mother's good craftsmanship. It's just that she really doesn't believe that Ye Linchen can prove that she happened to meet her brother, which is really suspicious.
However, looking at Ye Linchen's gentle gaze, it seemed that the matter was indeed brought over by her brother as he said.
Seeing Xie Yaoguang looking at him like this, a smile appeared in his eyes. Of course, he didn't meet Xie Zhanyu, but after inquiring in many ways, he finally found Xie Zhanyu. Fortunately, Xie Zhanyu was very impressed by him, and when he saw him coming, he jokingly looked at him and asked questions.
He also answered them one by one, and it wasn't until the end when Xie Zhanyu looked at him with great joy that he dared to ask some of Xie Yaoguang's preferences. When he heard this question, Xie Zhanyu laughed and originally wanted to invite him to Xie's house, but after thinking about it again, he dispelled this idea.
Please ask him to go back to the post station to rest for the time being, and after tomorrow, he will naturally send someone to deliver something that Xie Yaoguang likes. It wasn't until the evening of the second day that the Xie family sent someone to send a delicate food box and a letter, which only said that the little sister liked the candied fruit made by her mother the most. Nothing else.
