Chapter 228: Reward

"It would be best if we could find out the people of the Gu clan who were hidden around the prince."

Lin Lao Guogong pondered for a moment and spoke up.

Li Zeyi agreed, but it was not easy to find out this person. The prince must have kept this person very close, and would not let anyone know.

"This matter can't be solved in a day or two, let's think about it in the long run. But when are you going to tell the emperor about this? ”

The old man put down the teacup in his hand and glanced sideways at King Yi.

Li Zeyi took a sip of tea: "Naturally, I have to tell my father about this as soon as possible, but I can't replace the crown prince." After all, we don't have evidence in our hands, but it's okay to expose Ning Yuanbo. ”

His eyes twinkled, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a sneer. Ning Yuanbo was too confident, and he really thought that he could tease everyone in the palm of his hand.

"It's good that you know what you know." Lin Lao Guogong got up: "If there is anything you need help with, just send someone to find me." ”

After speaking, he left the study without looking back, and walked straight in the direction of the gate of the palace, not giving Li Zeyi a chance to give away at all.

Li Zeyi shook his head helplessly, the master's temperament is really the same as always.

He withdrew his gaze, and then ordered Sui Feng: "Prepare the car and enter the palace." ”

In the imperial study of the palace, the emperor sat in front of the imperial case, and there was a blank holy decree in front of him. His face was serious, and there was a bit of contemplation in his eyes.

His favorite son made war exploits and gave such a big gift. Together, the reward that was originally intended to be given was somewhat insufficient. However, if the reward is increased, it may cause pressure on the prince.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw a little eunuch quietly walk in and bow down.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yi has come down."

When the emperor heard this, he put down the pen in his hand and immediately spoke: "Quick, let Yi'er come in." ”

Li Zeyi came in from the outside and sat on the chair on the side very naturally, but he was no longer lazy and crooked there as before, but his back was straight.

The emperor looked at his son, who was getting stronger and stronger, and his heart was very happy. His face softened, and he smiled: "What is the matter with entering the palace today?" ”

He remembered that the 15th day of Mu Xiu was not over, and according to what he knew about this son, he would not take the initiative to come to the palace to see him.

When Li Zeyi heard this, he glanced at the palace people standing around, and the emperor immediately understood, and waved his hand to let the palace people who were waiting for him go down. Soon the father and son were left in the imperial study, and of course, the great eunuch Chen Gonggong.

However, Chen Gonggong has always been interesting, and stood quietly on the side as a background board.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The emperor picked up the tea cup, skimmed off the floating tea leaves, and took a sip.

"Father, this time the retainer met that purple jade prince by the side of King Longrui. During this time, he fought with him and split his mask. ”

The emperor frowned when he heard this, and raised his head to look at him. He also heard a little about this purple jade boy, and heard that he was a very smart person, and he had done a lot of good things for the people, and he was very liked by the people.

"Why did you suddenly mention the Purple Jade Prince?"

"The prince of Ziyu is Uncle Ning Yuan, and the son has already asked about the current King of Longrui, and it was the prince of Ziyu who persuaded the old King of Longrui to go to war with Jingguo."

His words are finished, and there is no need for him to say the rest, and his father will figure it out for himself. Moreover, the emperor's heart has always been suspicious, and he will only think more and deeper.

The emperor's face changed, his eyes were heavy, and the power of the emperor was fully revealed.

"You mean that Ning Yuanbo's collusion with Long Rui's people wants to rebel?" At the beginning, he had shown mercy to Ning Yuanbo's subordinates and exiled him. Unexpectedly, a hungry wolf has been raised over the years.

Of course, there would be no rebellion, and he didn't have that ability.

"Probably not, but he's always hated the Royals. I'm afraid that I want to disturb the big picture and let other countries take advantage of it. ”

Ziyu Gongzi's reputation is also famous among the Three Kingdoms, who knows if he only cooperates with Long Rui.

"I know about it." The emperor pondered for a moment, and then made a decision in his heart. He raised his head and looked at his son, who was becoming more and more calm: "You have made a great contribution this time, but what do you want?" ”

Li Zeyi smiled when he heard this, and his dark peach blossom eyes burst out with unprecedented light.

"Father, the son wants to lead the troops to fight!"

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and now it is considered peaceful in the world, except for Feng Xiaoda, who is guarding the border pass, the other generals are basically in Beijing.

"Erchen knows what his father is thinking, now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, where is there any battle that needs to be fought. But even so, Erchen also wants to be a military general. Protect the father, protect the scenery and the people. ”

"But your body ......" It's the first time the emperor has seen his son like this, and the whole person seems to be much more alive.

"Father, the son's health has healed." He looked at his father and said with a smile: "If your father doesn't believe it, you can let the imperial doctor come and take a look." Zhuohua's medical skills can inherit the mantle of Ning Shen Doctor, and it can be said that the blue is better than the blue. ”

The emperor saw that his face was ruddy, and he was no longer as pale as before. I was very relieved in my heart, and finally sighed and said, "This matter, let Father Emperor think about it again." ”

In fact, the emperor had already made a decision in his heart at this time, although the prince disappointed him, but it was not to the point where he let him abolish the prince's mind. He is still healthy now, and there is still time to straighten the crown prince.

When the crown prince ascended the throne, the fourth child let him go to the back cover, and the great rulership was put in his hands, even after the prince ascended the throne in the future, he would not dare to attack him easily. The two of them are fighting each other like this, and it is good to maintain a balance.

Li Zeyi entered the palace today just to talk about Ning Yuanbo, and now he was ready to leave after speaking, as for what kind of reward his father would give him, he knew in his heart.

"Father, the sons and daughters will retire first and go to see the emperor's grandmother."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded: "Well, your imperial grandmother has always been worried about you. Now that she has come back safely, it is time to go over and see her old man. ”

Li Zeyi came out of the imperial study and went straight to the queen mother's bedroom.

On the second day, the emperor's reward for King Yi was given, which alarmed the entire Shangjing.

The emperor actually gave half of the talisman to King Yi, and canonized him as Prince Yi, and gave Dongyu as the back cover.

Dongyu is the most vast place in the grand scenery except Shangjing and Jiangnan. And it's near the sea, and it's very rich. Such a place as a fiefdom shows how much it is pampered.

The most shocking thing is that half of the talisman, that is the talisman that can mobilize the entire army, since ancient times, two halves of the talisman, half in the hands of the commander of Zhenguo, half in the hands of the emperor.

Now half of the talisman is in the hands of Commander Feng, so it can be seen that the half of the talisman given is the half of the talisman in the emperor's hand.

For a while, everyone couldn't guess what the emperor meant, and he promoted Prince Yi like this, without taking into account the prince's feelings.

Li Zeyi was also a little stunned when he received the holy decree, he remembered that it was not like this in his previous life. The talisman was secretly given to him by his father when he was seriously ill, so why was it suddenly handed over to him so openly?

However, he quickly came back to his senses, received the order to thank him, and then gave a huge purse to Gonggong Chen, who came to announce the decree.

King Yi was named Prince Yi, the entire Prince Yi Mansion was beaming, the gap between the prince and the prince is still very large, and now the people of Prince Yi's Mansion have their backs straighter than in the past.

Lin Zhuohua was also extremely shocked when she got the news, but she was soon relieved. Now that she and Li Zeyi are both reborn people, they have changed too many things, so it doesn't seem so unacceptable to hand over this talisman to him in advance.

It's just that now that the emperor is doing this, the prince will definitely not be able to sit still.

"The emperor actually handed over half of the talisman to Prince Yi, but will the reward be too much?" The old lady frowned, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the Buddha beads on her wrist.

Lin Laoguo was calm, and only said lightly: "Everyone knows what kind of change the thing that Prince Yi offered at the palace banquet will do to the future of Dajing. This reward is mostly because of that thing, so it can be seen that our emperor is afraid that he is going to study that thing for the army of Dajing. ”

Second Master Lin nodded when he heard this, agreeing but also a little worried: "For Prince Yi's reward, no one on the military general's side should object, after all, that thing is too important for the army." But Fu Xiang's side is not necessarily, I am afraid that I will have to make some moves in the next few days. "Qi Yan reads

Now the eldest prince and the crown prince have their own support, originally the two of them were fighting, but now Prince Yi suddenly appeared, I am afraid that the two will join forces to deal with Prince Yi first, and then compete for the competition.

"Father, shall we move too?" Lin Sanye frowned, pondered for a moment and asked.

Zhuohua is the future princess of Prince Yi, no matter how neutral their national mansion is, it has naturally been divided behind King Yi.

"No, it's business as usual." Lin Lao Guogong shook his head, Prince Yi's honor has made him very eye-catching, if the Guogong Mansion makes any more moves, I am afraid it will bring him more trouble, of course, the secret support still has to be given.

Lin Zhuohua listened to them, pondered for a moment and then said, "Grandfather, you have more than one granddaughter, and the second sister is also the future crown princess." In the eyes of outsiders, our Guogong Mansion can be said to have played a good hand, and whether it is the crown prince or Prince Yi ascending the throne in the future, there will be nothing wrong with the Guogong Mansion. ”

Lin Laoguo smiled slightly when he heard this, stretched out his hand and patted her head: "What Zhuohua said is right, so we just need to be like in the past and not participate in it." ”

"It's you, King Yi is sealed in Prince Yi's mansion, and you, as a fiancΓ©e, naturally have to show something and bring some gifts over."

Lin Zhuohua nodded, she was also about to go to Prince Yi's mansion, and there were some things she wanted to tell him.

Soon she prepared a lot of gifts, got into the prepared carriage and went straight to Prince Yi's mansion.

Li Zeyi got the news and waited at the door in person. When he saw the carriage parked in front of him, he immediately stepped forward and personally helped the person out of the carriage.

"The courtiers pay a visit to Prince Yi." The crisp voice reveals a bit of joking.

Li Zeyi hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the person up, and said with a smile: "You also come to make fun of me." ”

Lin Zhuohua winked at him, and then pointed to the carriage behind him: "This is a gift prepared by the mansion to congratulate you on becoming Prince Yi, you can let people carry it in." ”

Li Zeyi nodded, asked someone to carry things in, and then pulled her to the house.

"You're just in time, I'll take you to see the main courtyard." He took her hand and walked all the way towards the main courtyard.

Lin Zhuohua looked at the spacious and elegant courtyard in front of her, which was very similar to the Taoyuan where she lived, and she thought she was back in Taoyuan.

"I don't know what kind of decoration you like, so I decorated it according to the peach garden, and if you see what needs to be changed, I will have someone change it tomorrow."

He dragged her into the courtyard, and then walked to the main house, which was furnished exactly like her boudoir in the Prince's Mansion, except that some of the ornaments were more precious.

"This ......"

Li Zeyi pulled her into his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said in a gentle voice: "This is the main courtyard where we will live in the future, so naturally we will decorate it according to the likes of you, the future hostess." ”

"When did you start doing it?"

"When I came back from the border gate, I started to work on it."

He let go of his hand slightly, turned her delicate body over, looked down at the little girl with crimson cheeks, and felt soft: "Do you like it?" ”

The deep voice, gentle and delicate, like a fine wine, makes people intoxicated.

Facing the pair of dark eyes, the tenderness in them seemed to drown people. It fell at a glance and could no longer be withdrawn. She lifted her hand and gently stroked the tail of his slightly raised eye.

"I like it, as long as you give it, I like it. Thank you for doing so much for me. ”

Along the way, he has been by her side to protect her. As long as she wants to do something, he will fully support it. With such a person by her side in this life, she is already content.

She stood on her tiptoes lightly, and a soft kiss landed on his cold lips. Just a dragonfly kissed it like water, and then withdrew from the cheeks crimson.

Li Zeyi touched his lips, although the kiss was very short, but his heart was as sweet as eating honey. His little girl took the initiative to kiss him, which means that he has now succeeded in her heart.

Lin Zhuohua looked at Li Zeyi, who was standing in place silly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose. She thought to herself that Prince Yi, who was now praised by the world, was as stupid as a little fool in front of her, and her heart was soft.

She stepped forward lightly, took his hand and walked out, in the direction of the study. Although she was happy in her heart, she did not forget the business she had come to this time. If the prince's henchman is not solved, who knows how long the current joy and comfort can last.

It wasn't until Lin Zhuohua sat on the chair that Li Zeyi found that they had arrived in the study.

"I'm here today to ask you something."

Li Zeyi retracted his mind and his face became serious: "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Can you tell the emperor about the collusion between the prince of Ziyu and the crown prince?"

Li Zeyi shook his head and told her everything he said with his father in the imperial study.

"We don't have evidence in our hands, so we can't testify against the prince." He sighed, reached out and touched her head: "And I suspect that there are people from the Gu clan around the prince." ”

He told her his and his master's guesses word for word, and he would be surprised if others knew that the trust between the two had reached such a point.

Speaking of the Gu Clan, Lin Zhuohua's eyes flashed.

"I remembered one thing, Mama Dong who asked you to help check it before has an inextricable relationship with the Gu clan, and that Mama Dong is very respectful to Lin Youran. Lin Youran's identity is very mysterious, I heard my mother say it. The woman didn't want to be a concubine in the back house of the Guogong Mansion at all, and she wanted to leave after she became pregnant, but she was detained by the people of the Guogong Mansion. Later, when Sheng Lin was leisurely, he died of hemorrhage, and I suspect that she is a member of the Gu Clan, and her status in the Gu Clan is not low. ”

Li Zeyi narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said for a long time: "You can start checking from the Gu clan to see if anyone left the Gu clan that year." ”

"Well, the secret technique of the Gu clan is really unguardable. It's better to solve the Gu clan people around the prince earlier to be at ease, and now your rise is afraid that the prince will be even more unable to sit still. I don't know what he will do if he is in a hurry. ”

Lin Zhuohua is really worried, the prince can do anything to achieve his goal. really forced him to be anxious, and he did everything to force the palace.

Li Zeyi patted her head and said softly: "Okay, you don't have to worry about these things." All you have to do now is prepare your ceremony, and as soon as the ceremony is over, I will ask my father to marry us. ”

Lin Zhuohua stretched out his hand and hammered him on the chest, and said angrily: "People are talking to you about business, and you are getting married again." ”

Li Zeyi grabbed the boneless little hand, held it tightly in his hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it.

It wasn't until the evening that Lin Zhuohua left Prince Yi's Mansion and returned to Guogong Mansion.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Lin Zhuohua's ceremony, because Zhengbin was the queen's mother, and almost all the families in Beijing came.

Early in the morning, Lin Zhuohua was pulled out of the bed by Bai Yu and a few people to groom her. Her eyes were closed, and she was not fully awake and was at their mercy.

Feng Shuhui and Li Zhixue also came over early and were sitting in the room talking to her.

"I'm afraid your ceremony is grander than those princesses in the palace, and the queen mother is here to be your guest." Feng Shuhui took a bite of the apple, which was crisp and sweet.

Lin Zhuohua sighed, and the process of the ceremony was so complicated that it was enough to watch the ceremony with her close family and friends.

"Anyway, after you and the ceremony, is the wedding with King Yi going to be held?" Li Zhixue tilted her head and asked, now that her marriage with Lin Chengxi, the third young master of the Lin family, has been decided, it is estimated that she will get married in a few months. Thinking of becoming a family with the great beauty of Zhuohua, she was very excited.

"Yes." Lin Zhuohua nodded, and was about to say something when he saw the eldest girl next to his grandmother, Primrose, walk in.

"Miss, the old lady asked the slave maid to ask you to go over with Miss Li and Miss Feng."

Lin Zhuohua and the others got up and followed the primrose towards the courtyard where the ceremony was held.

When the queen appeared, everyone stood up and saluted.

"See the Queen."

The queen waved her hand, with a dignified and gentle smile on her face: "Get up." ”

She sat on the main seat, accompanied by the old lady and Mrs. Lin.

At this time, Lin Zhuohua, who was sitting in the east room, had a headache when he looked at many guests outside.
