Li Gaotang and Li Lingjiao were enjoying their amusement, but Gonggong Li rushed over at this time.

He bowed his head and said, "Prince, Your Majesty has just issued a decree to remove the guards of the Imperial Palace and relieve your tightness." ”

"Really!" Li Gaotang was excited for a while, and when he walked down from the collapse, he completely tilted himself to the ground.

Gonggong Li smiled and nodded, "That's right, the old body is here to deliver the decree." ”

In addition to being excited, Li Gaotang did not forget to ask him about what had happened inside and outside the palace in the past few days, "My father has relieved my lockdown, has there been progress in the matter of the epidemic?" ”

"The prince can rest assured, the Seventh Prince and Lord Heng have found a cure for the epidemic, and now the patient in Yixian County has recovered, and the epidemic in nearby villages and towns has been controlled......"

"Master Heng?" Li Gaotang's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he thought quickly in his mind, among the three sheng and six departments, there seemed to be no Master Heng.

Gonggong Li bowed slightly, and arched his hand, "Back to the crown prince, he is the champion of the new department, the former Hanlin Academy's Ji Shi Heng Xinyuan, His Majesty has just issued an order to promote him to the Hanlin Academy......"

This news was unintentionally a thorn in his heart for Li Gaotang at this time, he was already dissatisfied with his refusal to accept the solicitation and the refusal of the queen's marriage, and now he was promoted to three levels overnight.

I'm afraid of this person, it's not as simple as it seems.

Especially when I heard the meaning of Gonggong Li's words just now, the epidemic was cured by him and the Seventh Prince at this time, is there any connection between the two of them.

"If the prince has nothing to do, then the slave will retire first......"

"Oh, Grandpa Li walks slowly."

After sending away Gonggong Li, his troubled mind was even more clouded, and he stood in place in a daze, secretly thinking in his heart, this Hengxin is far from courageous and wise, if he is not used for himself, he can't let him fall into the hands of others.

Must Kill!

On the morning of the second day, the news of Heng Xinyuan's promotion was already known.

Whether it was the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, or the Ministry of Officials, they all said hello when they saw him, and no one expected that the career of this new champion would be so open.

And even more gratifying is the Dali Temple Qing Yuan Weinuo, although he has no dealings with him on weekdays, but the news about the new champion in Yixian County to treat the epidemic, the clothes and belts are incomprehensible, and the news that everything must be bowed to his ears is still constantly reaching his ears.

The appreciation for him before has now turned into admiration.

As soon as I saw him, I stepped forward to congratulate, "Congratulations, the new champion is worthy of being the dragon and phoenix among the people, as soon as he entered the court, he was promoted to three levels in a row, which is still the first in my dynasty, it can be seen that Your Majesty has high hopes for you." ”

"The original adults have won the award, and as a junior, there are still many things that are different, and I still need to be mentioned by the adults." He humbly saluted everyone who congratulated him, and the smile on his face did not fall for a moment.

After everyone discussed for a while, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and smiled happily, "Presumably all the secretaries know that the epidemic in Yixian County has been cured, but fortunately it has not spread to the palace." ”

"That's because my father has loved the people like a son for many years, and Ze has been born by the common people, and now good fortune will inevitably come!" The crown prince hurriedly patted his ass on the side, expecting the emperor to take a more look at him.

However, the result was unsatisfactory, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and just glanced at him, and then continued, "In this epidemic incident, Heng Xinyuan's performance is obvious to everyone, I have promoted him to the Hanlin Academy, and in addition, the Seventh Prince Wen Yao is also indispensable...... I decided to crown him the king of Yijun! A canonization ceremony at the beginning of next month. ”

Li Wenyao, who was standing at the foot of the steps, was a little flattered, hurriedly walked out of the queue, and replied with a little nervousness, "Thank you for being so kind to my father, but the sons and daughters have no success with Jiangshan Sheji, and the second is useless to extend the heirs, and the position of the king of the county is really unbearable." ”

Seeing him so humble and courteous, the emperor was even happier in his heart, and said with a smile, "Bear it, bear it, you are my son, and you have performed so well this time, and you should be crowned the king of the county." ”

Seeing this, all the ministers behind him also attached water one after another, and bowed to congratulate, "Congratulations to the Seventh Prince for being crowned King of Yijun!" ”

Li Wenyao had no choice but to return the salute to everyone, and when he turned around, he just put on Li Gaotang's fierce gaze, as if he was going to devour himself alive.

However, his current mood can be understood, one is the prince who has been blamed and neglected, and the other is the prince who has been rewarded and promoted to the king of the county, and he is also standing on top of the court, one is congratulated by ten thousand people, and the other is eager to find a crack in the ground to get into!

After the early dynasty, the prince hurriedly returned to the palace, and before he could sit down, he sent someone to call Sun Yan over.

"Prince, what do you command?" This Li Yan is a killer raised by Li Gaotang's subordinates, one is to privately monitor the situation of the ministers, and on the other hand, he secretly commits this murder for him.

Li Gaotang looked at him coldly, "I want you to kill someone for me." ”

"Who?"

"Heng Xinyuan." Every time Li Gaotang said a word, he wanted to cut him in the neck a few more times.

Li Yan was a little puzzled, and asked in a muffled voice, "Prince, this Hengxin is far more than just promoted to a Hanlin Academy attendant, so it can't hinder us from anything, right?" ”

"How do you know, if you can't get in the way in front of you, it doesn't mean that you can't get in the way in the future, if you wait until he is getting fuller, and then start eradicating it, I'm afraid it's not easy to start, it's better to take advantage of now, when his position is not stable, and never suffer in the future!" After speaking, a pair of cold eyes faintly shot out a terrible light.

Li Yan didn't ask any more, and withdrew after getting the order.

Li Lingjiao slowly walked out of the curtain, stood beside him and said with a smile, "Your Highness, have you decided?" ”

"Hmm." Li Gaotang snorted, now the situation between the DPRK and China is changing rapidly, if he takes a step back, he may not recover, he has already made too many enemies, if he can't sit on that dragon chair in the future, it will definitely end up very miserable.

Born in the emperor's family, brothers and sisters, father and son, are just victims of desire.

Li Lingjiao said, took out a letter from her sleeve, and handed it to him, "Your Highness, this is what the people from below have just sent to the palace, please take a look." ”

Li Gaotang's eyes narrowed, and he opened it neatly, his sad face immediately relaxed, and his tone became much lighter, "It's Qian Yuantu, he said in the secret letter that this year's five thousand taels of silver tickets have been prepared, and they have been stored in the Tianbao Silver Number as usual." ”

"This money is loyal to His Highness, and he has been handing over the gift money for many years."

Li Gaotang smiled contemptuously, waved his sleeves, and sat on the chair, "If I hadn't been protecting him for the past few years, the things he did would have been known to my father and the emperor, and of course he would know how to thank me." ”

"Yes, Your Highness is wise, and with the support of the Zhongshu Order, Your Highness can be called nine out of ten."

"Let's see, if you want to fight with me, I'll let them know what it means to be incompetent!"

At that time, the palace gate was about to be keyed, and when Heng Xinyuan left from the upper study, the night was already very deep, and after saying goodbye to Luo Zhishu, he hurried towards the city gate.
