Chapter 247: Cannon Fodder Slapping the Tyrant in the Face (23)
Gao Lanxi wanted Li Mingyang's life, but she didn't expect Li Mingyang's life to be harder than she imagined.
On this expedition, Li Mingyang stayed at the border for three full years.
First of all, he pacified South Vietnam, and then went to the northwest, Li Mingyang led the army to sweep all the way to the past, and beat all the tribes that could become disasters in the border passes of the Great Qi Dynasty, and almost every month there was good news to the capital, so that the government and the opposition were dumbfounded, and Li Tianwu also loved this son!
Only such a talented, intelligent, wise and martial prince can be qualified to be my heir!
Li Tianwu was proud, and at the same time, he did not forget the constraints on the Gao family.
In the name of Ding Wei, he replaced all the key departments that were originally entrenched by the Gao family with his own people, and the Spirit King, who had a close relationship with the Gao family and was suspected of being the biological father of the Six Emperors, was also repeatedly humiliated and reprimanded in public by Li Tianwu!
Even, even the biological mother of the six princes and the queen of the world of motherhood were reprimanded by Li Tianwu in public because of the wrong etiquette when presiding over the ceremony of worshiping the sky, and her reputation was greatly reduced.
On the other hand, several princes sent to the household department to experience training also continued to dig over old accounts under the instruction of Li Tianwu, and turned over many unjust, false and wrongful cases made by the Gao family when they were in power and forcibly corrected them, which won the hearts of the people while further weakening the power of the Gao family.
Three years have passed, and the Gao family has finally ended Ding Wei and can return to the court, but what greeted them was-
Changed!
The huge gap made Gao Cui unbearable, and chased him to the palace to ask his sister why there was no result of Li Mingyang's life.
Gao Lanxi was also angry, and said: "This palace has been sending assassins to Li Mingyang's side for the past three years!" But this kid's life is so hard that no matter how many assassins I send, it won't come to fruition! ”
"So what are we going to do?"
Gao Cui reminded Gao Lanxi: "The reputation of the second prince in the court is getting higher and higher, and several other princes also have their own names in the household department, but our sixth prince is still a child now, except for the emperor's favor, there is nothing!" ”
"We still have the Great Prince."
Gao Lanxi thought of Li Mingran.
When Gao Cui heard this, he blew his beard and glared, and said, "Don't mention Li Mingran, a bastard who eats inside and out!" ”
"What's going on?"
Gao Lanxi always thought that the eldest prince born to her sister was the same as her towards the Gao family.
When Gao Cui heard this, he was angry and said: "He is the one who has pressed the Gao family the most in recent years!" He wants to step on the corpse of the Gao family and become the emperor! ”
"He is the emperor?!"
Gao Lanxi sneered: "His mother is not even a concubine, and she actually wants to be an emperor!" ”
"He knows that he can't be the emperor, so he is ready to curry favor with the new monarch and let someone else be the emperor."
Gao Cui reminded his sister Gao Lanxi bitterly: "This kid is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!" He is going to use our Gao family as a congratulatory gift to the new monarch! ”
"He dares!"
Gao Lanxi was angry and immediately summoned Li Mingran over.
Li Mingran has a grudge against Gao Lanxi since he was sure that Gao Lanxi would not let him be the emperor, and now that Li Mingyang has made great achievements in war, and he himself has power in the household department, how can he not see that his father intends to clean up the Gao family, came to Gao Lanxi, pretended to bow down, and asked: "The queen mother passed me over, but there is something important?" ”
"There is indeed something."
Gao Lanxi was used to being angry, and he didn't think that Li Mingran would also disobey himself: "I heard that you are doing a good job in the household department now?" ”
"My father values me and allows me to get experience in the household department."
Li Mingran replied in a flattering manner, obviously avoiding the point.
Gao Lanxi: "Then do you know that your uncle has been away from the court for three years because of Ding Wei's affairs, and now he is back in the court and urgently needs someone to support him, are you willing-"
"Queen Mother, the court has always employed capable people, and my uncle is extremely capable, so why worry about the future?"
Li Mingran replied very tactfully.
He knew that Gao Lanxi didn't want to be the emperor, and his father had no intention of making himself a prince now, so he gave Gao Lanxi a big gift package so that his future could be smooth.
Gao Lanxi knew that the eldest prince he despised the most was planning such an important matter behind his back, and his face was a little ugly.
She tried very hard to hold back a smile and said, "The affairs of the court are important, and your uncle's future also needs to be paid attention to!" After all, the mother family is prosperous, and your position in the court can be as solid as a rock, otherwise you look at that Qi Shufei, although your father likes it, she is still just a concubine! ”
"The queen mother's words are wrong."
Li Mingran said: "My son heard that his father is preparing to mention the position of the concubine, and he will be the imperial concubine after the New Year." ”
"What! Imperial Princess! ”
Gao Lanxi was furious.
The imperial concubine is the meaning of the queen above the concubine, although she is not the queen, but the treatment is basically the same as the queen.
"Why!"
Gao Lanxi slapped the table angrily.
Li Mingran said: "The second prince has made military exploits at the border pass, and his father values him, so he will give the second prince's adoptive mother a promotion, and the second prince's biological mother Zhang Concubine will also be promoted to a concubine." ”
"Huh! This is really a person who has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascended to heaven! ”
Gao Lanxi's face turned blue with joy.
Because Gao Cui and Li Mingran were still at the scene, she couldn't have a seizure, but after they left, she was so angry that she immediately drove the Zhilan Pavilion to give the little slut a little color.
And yet—
Gao Lanxi came to the Zhilan Pavilion angrily, but saw Qi Ling'er leisurely wearing a costume on the small stage singing the song "Peach Blossom Fan" that came to the palace from nowhere, Li Tianwu watched from below and liked it quite much.
“…… The curtain sounded, and someone seemed to be gasping slightly. Searching all over, the east wind is gradually noon, and it is difficult to see people there. Look at the paper broken window lattice, the veil cracked the curtain. Wrapped in a remnant Luopa, he has worn a flower day, and there is no old sheng flute. The red mandarin ducks are all rolled up, the green water flowers are flattened, the cold smoke is locked, and the good flower branches do not sleep according to the beauty......"
"Nice! Good! Aifei is really versatile! Ok, good, good! ”
Li Tianwu praised while eating the fruit.
Seeing Gao Lanxi coming with an angry face, Li Tianwu was quite displeased, and said, "Didn't the queen send someone to pass on the news when she came to Zhilan Pavilion?" ”
"Your Majesty, the queen is the lord of the six palaces, you can go wherever you want, you need to talk to your concubines in advance."
Su Yi said in a weird way, took off the bead crown, got off the small stage, and said to Gao Lanxi: "The concubine asks the queen mother." ”
"Don't dare!"
Gao Lanxi couldn't get angry, and said: "I heard that the emperor is going to give you a promotion, and after the New Year, you will be the imperial concubine?" ”
"Imperial concubine?"
Su Yi pretended to look at Li Tianwu in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, is this matter serious?" ”。
"This is indeed the case," Li Tianwu said, "I asked the Ministry of Rites yesterday to draw up a decree, and I am going to read it out on the day when the second prince returns to Beijing to make you happy." I didn't expect the queen to be so well-informed, and the meaning of yesterday's transmission was known today. ”
