Chapter 526: The heroine of the world
As for Ye Linchen, he looked up in surprise when he heard this, and looked at Emperor Li in surprise, as if he didn't expect Emperor Li to issue such a holy decree and send him to inspect the world on behalf of the monarch. He didn't know what Emperor Li was thinking.
I haven't heard Ye Linchen reply for a long time, and Emperor Li didn't mean to urge him on his face. Patiently waited for Ye Linchen to reply.
After thinking for a while, Ye Linchen bent his knees and bowed, "Erchen obeys the order!" ”
Getting the answer he wanted, Emperor Li stroked his beard with satisfaction, and his gaze naturally fell on King Shou, who was also stunned, and sighed.
After the court meeting ended, Emperor Li left King Shou and Ye Linchen alone, saying that he still had important things to explain to the two. When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other as if they had some answers, and the court of the Great Calendar was finally about to change, and a new era was coming.
In the Lizheng Palace, Emperor Li looked at King Shou who was kneeling on the ground with a cold gaze, but he said to Ye Linchen, "Linchen, what do you think should be done with King Shou." ”
Hearing Emperor Li's inquiry, Ye Linchen frowned and thought about it. Although Xie Yaoguang had withdrawn early in the morning, Emperor Li might ask him what he thought, but he didn't expect Emperor Li to really ask like this.
"If you go back to your father's words, your sons will not dare to overstep your authority to dispose of your brother." After glancing at King Shou from the corner of his eye, Ye Linchen continued: "Please also ask my father to forgive me." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Li didn't speak again, his eyes turned to fall on King Shou, and he only heard Emperor Li's voice be slightly cold, "Since you know that your sins are unforgivable, you should understand what will happen to you." It's in vain that I've worked hard to cultivate you. ”
In the face of Emperor Li's rebuke, where did King Shou dare to quibble, he could only keep confessing his guilt and take all the fault on himself. As if he was afraid that Emperor Li would not condemn him.
In the end, it is not the prince who is abolished, and there are not so many complicated statutes. Even if Emperor Li still has some expectations for King Shou, but when he thinks of what King Shou has done, his anger still does not subside.
Immediately issued an order to send the king of Shou. He deprived him of the title of King of Shou and demoted him to the king of the county, and exiled to Lingnan without an edict and was not allowed to return to Beijing. Compared with the punishment for the king, this is already a lot lighter.
After listening to Emperor Li's will, King Shou tearfully kowtowed and thanked Emperor Li for not killing, his expression was extremely sad, and he was obviously very reluctant to leave Emperor Li.
Looking at his son who was crying in front of him, Emperor Li sighed and said, "You go to Lingnan to do it yourself." I hope that you can reflect on your mistakes and think about what you have done wrong. ”
When the words fell, King Shou hurriedly kowtowed.
Looking at the extremely strange Shou King in front of him, Ye Linchen's eyes became suspicious. Now this Shouwang is different from the Shouwang he knows, if it were before, I was afraid that Shouwang would have argued with his father and emperor a long time ago. Where would it be so easy to take down all the charges, and even be willing to be demoted to Lingnan.
Lingnan has more miasma than Qianzhou, and it is more than that. He had heard that since the crown prince was deprived of the title of the prince and demoted to the king of Xian, he was exiled to Qianzhou, he was worried all day long, and he was even sick for so many days. If it weren't for Lu Lingshan secretly sending someone to help, I'm afraid that he would have become a dry skeleton long ago.
Thinking of this, Ye Linchen looked at King Shou again, he really didn't understand why King Shou wanted Emperor Li to convict him, could it be that there was something hidden here? Secretly wrote down what he felt suspicious, and planned to tell him about it when he went to see Xie Yaoguang.
As soon as King Shou was convicted here, Emperor Li didn't seem to want to see King Shou again, waving his head and signaling him to step back. Hearing Emperor Li's words, King Shou thanked him again, and then went out with Zhang Ke.
Only Ye Linchen and Emperor Li were left in the hall, and the father and son were relatively speechless.
Looking at Ye Linchen, who looked cold in front of him, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in Emperor Li's eyes and he said slowly: "Your temperament is becoming more and more calm, and I am very satisfied with you." At the beginning, if you Brother Qin could be like you, you might not invite disaster. ”
Originally, Ye Linchen wanted to refute a few words, but thinking of Xie Yaoguang's advice, he silently suppressed the anger raging in his chest. His expression calmly looked at Emperor Li's scrutinizing gaze.
This is the first time he has been with Emperor Li so calmly in so many days since he returned to Beijing.
"I know that Xie Yaoguang is a rare talent. Not to mention being beautiful, what is more fancy-enhancing is her talent. Emperor Li squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Linchen and said slowly: "It's not that there is no matter of a woman in my calendar, but if you want to make her a concubine, I will never agree." I don't want this dynasty to have a female concubine like the previous one. ”
Hearing this, Ye Linchen's expression flickered. He knew who the female Cao that Emperor Li was referring to was Li Mingcao, the empress of the previous Emperor Wu period. Like Xie Yaoguang, he was born with both talent and appearance, not to mention that his mind and vision are not inferior to men, and he even gave advice to Emperor Wu many times during the reign of Emperor Wu, so that he appeared in the court at the same time as Emperor Wu and listened to the government. When the ministers saw that the queen was listening to the government, many people wrote to ask for the abolition, pointing out that Li Mingcao was really a chicken and Sichen should be severely punished.
There were no longer a few people who opposed it at first, but those opposing voices were all drowned under Mingcao's methods, and they had to admit that Li Mingcao was indeed quite skillful, and it would only be better to have her in the imperial court. Later, those old stubborns almost acquiesced to Li Mingcao's existence. It didn't take long for Emperor Wu to become seriously ill, and the imperial doctor instructed Emperor Wu to recuperate. It was because all the major affairs of the military state were handed over to Li Mingcao to deal with, and several auxiliary ministers were appointed.
Despite this, there are still many people who make it difficult for Li Mingcao, but Li Mingcao is very comfortable with these people. In the end, Emperor Wu still died of illness, and on the eve of his death, he handed over the jade seal of the country to Li Mingcao and ordered him to succeed to the throne until his youngest son was able to handle the government independently. Li Mingcao stayed on the throne for 20 years, and only after 20 years did he hand it over to the new monarch to relegate power and go into hiding.
Thinking of this, Ye Linchen raised his head and looked at Emperor Li with a complicated expression. He remembered that it was the biggest taboo for women to listen to politics in the calendar, and the calendar could allow women to serve in official careers, but they would never be allowed to get involved in the harem and government at the same time.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Linchen couldn't help but shout: "Erchen knows that his father has concerns about him, but Erchen loves Xie Yaoguang's beauty and also loves her talent. Even though the sun and moon are out of phase, you have to admit that the merits made by Nu Cao during her reign do not have to be any worse. Erchen really doesn't understand why you are so prejudiced against Xie Yaoguang. ”
"I just don't want to repeat the same mistakes. If it weren't for the female concubine, how could she have caused heavenly punishment if she interfered with the previous dynasty's qi in the air, causing insect plagues and snow disasters in the previous dynasty's mourning of the emperor, causing the people to live in misery! Glancing at Ye Linchen, Emperor Li scolded angrily.
Hearing Emperor Li's words, Ye Linchen originally wanted to continue to argue with reason, but when he thought of Xie Yaoguang's true identity, he was worried that the emperor would be suspicious of this, so he immediately kept silent.
