Chapter Seventy-Nine: Prince Jin Feng
Several people were talking in the living room, laughing and joking, and suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the door, and the housekeeper pushed the door open, and saw that it was a servant of Luofu, his face was hurried, and he said that if he wanted to return to Luo Zhishu, the housekeeper came in and reported it, and went back to open the door after getting permission.
A few people restrained the joyful look on their faces, sat upright on the chairs, waited for the servant to enter the door, saluted them, walked up to Luo Zhishu, leaned over and said a word in his ear, Luo Zhishu's face was bright, and even his eyes were much brighter.
"Okay, I know, you can go back first." After sending the servant away, he stood up with a smile on his face, walked back and forth in the hall twice, and then slowly spoke, "Great, great, our big thing is done!" ”
"What happened, Uncle Luo?" Heng Xinyuan asked curiously.
"I guess, it should be news from the palace that the Seventh Prince has been crowned the prince, right?" Wan Bingyu replied first.
"Sure enough, it's still Bingyu smart, just guess it, Your Majesty has just drafted a decree, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince of Jin is Prince Yi."
Needless to say, this news naturally surprised everyone present, but to say that it was unexpected, it was not true, this was expected, Li Wenyao not only found the auspicious bird, but also in the time of crisis, sacrificed his life and death to save His Majesty in danger, this incident not only made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military praise, but also spread as a good story among the people.
The emperor is an extremely good-looking person, in this way, it can be regarded as a great satisfaction of his vanity, so for this prince who brings himself honor, he must be greatly rewarded, since he was already the king of the county before, then this prince is not far away.
Although he was happy, Luo Zhishu still felt a little uneasy, "Now that the Seventh Prince has been crowned the prince, he has intervened in the party struggle openly, that is to say, he is openly hostile to the prince and others, and I am worried that he will not be able to deal with it alone......"
Heng Xinyuan comforted him with a faint smile, "Uncle Luo doesn't have to worry too much, the Seventh Prince is a very far-sighted person, and he can endure his temperament, so there won't be any big problems." ”
"Xinyuan, now, you are one step closer to your final goal, and I am also happy for you." Luo Zhishu patted him on the shoulder and looked at him with a kind face.
"Until the last moment, I will never relax...... Heng Xinyuan's eyes are firm and bright, and he always remembers in his heart that the reason why he tried everything possible to enter the palace was to overturn the case for his dead parents and clear his grievances, everything in this is just means and ways.
A few people had dinner in the Hou Mansion again, and then they left happily and went home.
The news of the prince of the seventh prince Jin Feng naturally touched the prince who sat firmly in the East Palace, and for a whole day, the eunuch maid in the East Palace did not even dare to gasp, and walked on tiptoe, and in the evening, a little maid came in and called him to eat, and he was dragged out and beaten with twenty sticks by his temper and yelling.
When Li Lingjiao twisted the waist of the water snake and walked into the inner hall gracefully, Li Gaotang was sitting on the ground, with a wide open ring, his face was red from drinking, his eyes were distracted, and there was a pile of wine jars on the ground.
She walked over softly, squatted down in front of him, and said with a soft face, "The prince is in a bad mood, and he doesn't have to drink so much wine, if he hurts his body, it will be worth the loss......
"Get out of here!" Li Gaotang let out a loud sigh, and complained indistinctly, "What kind of thing are you, you have come to take charge of this palace!" Get out of here! Don't get in my way here! ”
Li Lingjiao is a scheming person, her joy and anger are never revealed, and as the crown princess, she has been by Li Gaotang's side for so many years, and she has long been in place for the cowardly character of the prince.
She wasn't annoyed, she just got up and withdrew all the maids serving in the hall, bent down alone to clean up the broken wine glasses and fruit cores on the ground little by little, and asked in a long voice, "Prince, are you planning to admit defeat like this?" Let that Seventh Prince climb on your head, and one day I will replace you......"
Li Gaotang had drunk the wine, he was a little dizzy, dazed, as soon as he heard this, it was like someone poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he suddenly sobered up, and shouted at the top of his throat, "What are you talking about!" Will I throw in the towel? You say I lost to that sick seedling? This palace is impatient to see that you are alive! ”
"The crown prince only dared to yell at me here, but he didn't dare to cheer up and compete with the newly promoted Prince Yi, do you know that when you were grounded in this Qiguang Hall to drink alcohol, Your Majesty had already sent the Seventh Prince to the fifteen counties of Jiangnan Province to collect taxes and silver." Li Lingjiao is still unfazed, not frightened by his arrogance at all, this is her excellence.
"Collect tax silver? Isn't the tax and silver of the imperial court managed by the household department? Why did his father send him suddenly? The prince staggered to his feet from the ground, and staggered back to his chaise longue and sat down, looking incredulous.
"I heard that because of the huge amount of tax silver this time, and the money collected was to be allocated to the Junnan Mansion for disaster relief, His Majesty was afraid that there would be a mistake on the road, so he specially sent a high-ranking prince to ......."
"High authority?" These four words were like a hammer, right in the prince's head, he grabbed Li Lingjiao's wrist, and couldn't wait to crush the soft bones, "Who do you mean, now in my father's heart, he Li Wenyao is the only one?" Are everyone else foils! ”
Li Lingjiao was a little pained, frowned slightly, and hurriedly comforted him softly, "Of course not, the prince, please calm your anger first, the concubine came today to solve problems for His Royal Highness." ”
"Problem-solving?" Li Gaotang let go of his hand and smiled weakly bitterly, "How to get rid of your worries?" How to solve the problem? Since the age of six, the palace has been crowned the crown prince, and for several years he has assisted his father in managing the government, and no one has dared to cross me, and now there is a Prince Yi! is still a sick son who has been weak and sickly since he was a child, his father has never taken him seriously, how can he suddenly value him so much now! ”
Li Gaotang's chest seemed to have piled up a nameless fire, burning from the internal organs to every vein, he went crazy and pushed all the fruit saucers and snacks on the table in front of him to the ground, rushed to the front of the hall, pointed in the direction of Luoning Hall and shouted, "Okay, you Li Wenyao, now you dare to step on my head, then don't blame me for being rude!" ”
Li Lingjiao almost rolled her eyes behind him, how could there be such a stupid and trouble-seeking prince in the world, she hurriedly stepped forward to grab him and closed the door, "Prince, you are shouting so loudly, won't the whole palace hear it, and when it reaches Your Majesty's ears, it is another turmoil, you are still grounded now, if you anger Your Majesty again, then you will really give away the position of the crown prince!" ”
"So what should I do, what else can I do?"
Li Lingjiao helped him to the bed and sat down, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, don't worry, didn't I say that Your Majesty sent the Seventh Prince to the fifteen counties in the south of the Yangtze River to collect taxes and silver?" If such a large sum of tax money is lost in his hands...... Then Your Majesty will definitely be furious, and when the time comes, not only will his title of prince be gone, but I am afraid that in front of Your Majesty, he will never be able to stand up again......"
After Li Gaotang listened, his originally angry face gradually eased, he thought for a moment, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "You are right, Li Wenyao lost the tax silver for the first time he escorted, and then he will become the laughing stock of the palace, and it is impossible for his father to support him again!" ”
After that, he got out of bed in a hurry, and because he was too excited, he even leaned his head on the ground, shouting, "Come on, come on!" Call Chen Jing, the head of the household, to the palace! Right away! ”
