Chapter Thirty-Eight: Family Affairs, State Affairs, and World Affairs

Li Yizhe left not long after saying that, and after he left, Ruoyan was speechless on the bed for a long time. If Brother Sheng finds out, I'm afraid he will be very sad, right? She didn't know how to react, but it hurt a lot in her heart.

When Li Yizhe returned to the imperial study, his face was a little ugly, and the people below were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a sip, or Gonggong Lin poured herbal tea for Li Yizhe, and Gonggong Lin persuaded him with a smile on his face: "According to the old slave, Your Majesty is wrong today." ”

"Am I wrong? What did I do wrong? "Li Yizhe is about to get angry.

"Ouch, Your Majesty, what do you see you doing with such a big anger? The old slave has been with His Majesty for so many years, and he is scared to look at it, let alone Niangniang. Father-in-law Lin dared to persuade him with a smile, "Niangniang just took a name casually, did you forget?" When Niangniang was in the house, the rabbit was also called Mianmian. If you are angry with your mother for such a name, your mother will inevitably alienate you even more. What do you think? ”

Li Yizhe pinched his eyebrows and had a headache: "I don't know why, I know that she likes Luo Hansheng, and she always thinks about Luo Hansheng." I don't know how. ”

"Your Majesty has a mother in your heart, so I'm always afraid that someone will rob Your Majesty. Just Your Majesty thinks. Nanchu is menacing, and there is still no certainty on how long this battle will be fought. After a year or two, Xiangye is always not by Niangniang's side, but His Majesty is facing Niangniang day and night, Niangniang is not His Majesty's? ”

"What if Luo Hansheng comes back?" Li Yizhe is still a little worried.

"Your Majesty gave the marriage to the prime minister, won't it be over? Niangniang has a high spirit, so she can't surrender her identity to be Xiangye's concubine, right? Do you think about it? ”

Li Yizhe was about to answer when he heard a noise at the door.

Li Yizhe glanced at Gonggong Lin, and Gonggong Lin immediately went to the door to see what was going on.

Gonggong Lin came out to see that it was Xuanwu Hou who came, and it happened that Xiao Hai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also came to ask for a meeting. Somehow, the two of them quarreled. Seeing Gonggong Lin come out, Xuanwu Hou's voice became louder as if he had confidence: "Gonggong Lin, you come to comment on Benhou." Xiao Hai doesn't know what this means, what kind of title did the Ministry of Rites propose to my family Shu'er? It turned out to be Ning Hetian, what does this mean? Remind my Shu'er not to make the harem restless, or is my Shu'er Tian shameless? What does this mean? You talk about it, you talk about it! Xuanyu is already dead when she is dead, why does my other daughter still have to suffer such grievances? ”

"Master Hou said with a smile, what's wrong with the title that the official proposed for Miss Jiang? I'm optimistic about it! Miss Jiang is the daughter of Mrs. Tang, and her etiquette is naturally different, and she is a concubine who does not know the importance of it. Rather is quiet and far-reaching, Tian is quiet and lovely, what's wrong? Hou Ye said that, I'm afraid there is a ghost in his heart. knew that Miss Jiang Er had done such a shameless thing. Xiao Hai said angrily.

"What do you mean? Why does Ben Hou have a ghost in his heart? Xuanyu's matter was closed so quickly before, and Xuanyu was sentenced to death, who knows if it was someone who set the trap and deliberately framed Xuanyu. "The more Xuanwu Hou said, the more unscored.

Gonggong Lin's head was also bigger: "No matter what the hell is going on, the two of you will go to your majesty to explain it clearly, the matter of Weishui on the front line has been a headache for your majesty recently, and the two of you are so discordant and noisy, wouldn't it be a block for your majesty and anger Your Majesty, it is not a joke." Let's calm down. Your Majesty is waiting inside. ”

Xuanwu Hou snorted and swaggered into the imperial study.

Li Yizhe didn't look at him either, and dipped the pen in the cinnabar stacked high folds.

Gonggong Lin persuaded Xiao Hai twice, and the two followed into the imperial study.

Li Yizhe also vaguely heard what the two were arguing about, and asked Xuanwuhou quietly: "Lord Jiang, in the recent Weishui flood, some farmers who have lost their crops have entered the city to surround the mansion of Lord Shangshu Qin of the household department to ask for a solution, have you heard?" I remember that your house is next door to Lord Qin. ”

"It's just a few people, and the guards at the door won't make a special trip to report to the minister." Xuanwu Hou snorted coldly.

Li Yizhe slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Diao Min? They are my people! Natural disasters are not beyond their control. Now that they have suffered from the disaster and are worried about their livelihoods, they are already pitiful, and you still call them Diao Min? ”

Xuanwu Hou was so frightened that he immediately knelt down with a thud, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead: "Your Majesty is angry." ”

"Anger? You're so good! The victims have been affected, and the front line is also on the verge of breaking out, you don't want to worry about the country, but go and argue with Xiao Shangshu about your daughter's title! Li Yizhe leaned on the dragon chair, and his breath was extremely cold.

"Minister...... The minister ......" Xuanwu Marquis was a little flustered, "The courtier Xuanyu is no longer there, and the minister thinks that Shu'er is Jieyu when she enters the palace, and there should always be a similar good-sounding title." ”

"Jiang Xuanyu poisoned the concubine and confessed and spoke viciously before being executed, I thought about giving your Jiang family face and didn't make a big noise, only said that it was words and deeds that collided with the holy car and gave death, and it didn't harm your Jiang family. Thinking about your Jiang family's death again, my daughter gave Jiang Yueshu the position of Jieyu. Why are you still picking and choosing here and saying that the title proposed by the Ministry of Rites is not good? It's amazing to seal Jieyu? She is Jieyu, and there is a concubine above. ”

"How can Concubine Yun compare with Shu'er." Xuanwu Hou subconsciously raised his head and retorted.

"You...... It's really an old fool! Li Yizhe was extremely angry, "I know that you naturally cherish your daughter more when you are old, but your daughter is a daughter, and someone else's daughter is not a daughter?" Concubine Yun Guifei is the youngest daughter of the Protector of the Kingdom, who is as painful as an eyeball. Back then, the barbarian forged documents to frame my Chao Zhongliang has been found out, and the protector has died in vain, how can his daughter still suffer from your white eyes in vain? ”

"Your Majesty......" Xuanwu Hou wanted to say something.

"I see that you were taken by Qu Cong's poisonous woman, and you don't know how thick the sky is. How else do you want to justify? Li Yizhe slapped the table loudly, "What kind of thing are you talking about the concubine here?" ”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty forgives your sins! Only then did Xuanwuhou realize that he had caused a big disaster and angered Li Yizhe.

"Forgiveness? What sins are forgiven? Tell me, which of these things I said wronged you? Li Yizhe sneered.

"The minister lost his words, please punish Your Majesty." Xuanwu Hou was a little panicked.

"You're not gaffe, you're disrespectful!" Li Yizhe snorted coldly, "Master Xiao, how do you think this crime of disrespect should be punished?" ”

Xiao Hai knew that Li Yizhe was angry now, if he wanted to be punished heavily, he would not be said to be retaliated by Li Yizhe, and he would also offend Xuanwuhou. But if the punishment is light, Li Yizhe will also be unhappy, thinking that he is covering up and forbearing. After mixing in the officialdom for so many years, he has also practiced a lot more tactfully, and he hurriedly threw this question to Li Yizhe again: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the crime of disrespect of Marquis Xuanwu should be treated, but how to punish it still depends on Your Majesty's will." Moreover, this matter involves the concubine Niangniang. The minister is friendly with the minister, and naturally he is more towards the mother, for fear that he will be biased when the time comes. Please also ask Your Majesty to take the idea. ”

"In that case," Li Yizhe picked up the teacup and took a sip of herbal tea, "Now that some of the victims are displaced and have no food to last for the next year, I will fine Lord Jiang with 10,000 taels of silver to tide over the difficulties." It can be regarded as making some merits to atone for sin. ”

10,000 taels of silver doesn't seem like much at first glance, but the annual expenses of an ordinary family of six are only 20 taels of silver. 10,000 taels is enough for 500 families to live for a year. For Xuanwu Hou, this is obviously not a small amount, and his mother's dowry back then was only eight thousand taels.

Xuanwu Hou couldn't help but feel very painful when he got this result, but fortunately he didn't cut the knight, otherwise he still had a few brothers and sisters under him, and the sons and daughters of the family would not be able to say goodbye.

He hurriedly knelt down and thanked him repeatedly. Li Yizhe annoyed him and asked Gonggong Lin to invite him down. Xiao Shangshu handed over the booklet: "Your Majesty, this is a title proposed for Miss Jiang Er. ”

Li Yizhe didn't bother to look at it, and snorted coldly: "What Ning Hetian, you see how her father has a little demeanor." Noisy and yelling. Bestow the number, Hua. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. This is the list of sacrifices for the aftermath of the Weihe disaster. Your Majesty, please take a look. Xiao Hai handed over the list, bowed his head respectfully, and waited for Li Yizhe's instructions.

"I know that you are a proper one, and now that there is war on the front line, the sacrifice should not be extravagant, except for the necessary sacrificial vessels and sacrifices, only some melon and fruit sacrifices can be prepared. After the ceremony, it can be distributed to the victims, not extravagant, but also not to lose respect and royal bearing. Li Yizhe pressed his eyebrows, "You start to prepare, retreat." ”

"Yes." Xiao Hai got the will and hurriedly retreated.

When he left the imperial study, he touched his back, which was already soaked with sweat.

Although Li Yizhe is young, his prestige is indeed something that these people can't help but be impressed. I also have to say that Li Yizhe does have the means, and he is also a wise man. Apart from...... There are no children yet. He was originally entrusted by several old ministers today to mention the matter of his heir to Li Yizhe. It's just that the atmosphere just now, he really didn't dare to mention it. We'll have to talk about that another day.

Li Yizhe was still so angry that he complained to Gonggong Lin: "Look, look, what's going on?" One by one, there is no sense of proportion at all. Now in such a situation, my own people are quarrelling. ”

Gonggong Lin poured hot tea for Li Yizhe, and persuaded with a smile: "Your Majesty can't be angry about these things." Xuanwu Hou is now in his fifties, and the people around him are people like Qu's, so something will inevitably go wrong. ”

"Just thinking about it makes me angry." Li Yizhe snorted coldly, "That Qu clan scolded Ruoyan like that before, but he was just the flat wife of a rich and noble family, and the concubine who scolded me was really dead." ”

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, there are still a lot of folds to be approved. I think there should be news from the front line in the afternoon. ”

"How's going on the front line? Chu Changxi wants to personally go to the front line to supervise the battle? I heard that a few days ago, there was a lot of trouble in Nanchu over whether to drive the expedition in person. Li Yizhe laughed, "Luo Hansheng can play this time." ”
