Chapter 5 The Storm is Coming
Lang Lang Qiankun, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the crown princess was openly assassinated, and as soon as the news was transmitted back to the East Palace, the crown prince Li Heng was so angry that he threw an ear cup full of wine on the ground.
Fragments were scattered, and even the three adult Kaifu sons under his knees took a step back in fright, and hung their heads and did not dare to speak.
If it is said that there is a traitor who deliberately did it, just to seek the life of the crown princess and the eldest son of King Guangping, Li Heng also believes it.
Although the East Palace was silent in the court, the kings of Guangping and Jianning were deeply favored by the Son of Heaven. There are flatterers, and naturally there are jealous.
Speaking of the separation between the court and the East Palace, the first to bear the brunt is Li Linfu, the prime minister who is now highly valued by the Son of Heaven.
Li Linfu wanted to support King Shou, the son of Concubine Wu Hui, who had the grace to him back then, as the prince, but King Shou had no ability, and Li Longji's favor was just stained with the light of his mother Concubine Wu Hui.
Concubine Wu Hui passed away, and the original Princess Shou became today's Yang Guifei, where does Li Longji still have the leisure time to care about this unknown prince?
Only Li Linfu not only remembered Concubine Wu Hui's old kindness, but also fell in love with King Shou's weak and young temperament, who could control it for himself, and desperately wanted to compete with the current crown prince Li Heng for the position of prince.
Depending on who he is, he naturally reckoned with Li Linfu's head.
"Li Linfu and Uncle Wei are both relatives of the Duke of Chu, Uncle Wei has been promoted by the grace of the Holy God in recent years, and he is in the limelight, Li Linfu's narrow temperament, he can't sit still. I'm afraid that I have long been afraid that my mother is now the crown princess, and the eldest son and grandson of the East Palace are all complete, and I am afraid that the uncle of the Wei family will take away his prime minister's official seal sooner or later! "Jianning King Li Li's opening, Li Jiao couldn't stop him.
At this time, Li Heng stood with his hands in his hands. What Li Qi said is not wrong at all, Li Linfu is the nephew of the Duke of Chu, and his brother-in-law Wei Jian is the son-in-law of the Duke of Chu.
Li Heng has always had an indecisive temper, he did not dare to offend Li Linfu easily, and relied on Wei Jian to compete with Li Linfu in the court and enjoy his success, barely living peacefully.
Now he is upset and sprinkles his anger on the crown princess. It's just that Concubine Wei was blamed for not saying good words to persuade her mother's brother to settle down, so that the struggle in the court was implicated in the East Palace.
Seeing that Concubine Wei was speechless, Li Qi couldn't help but say again,
"The Wei family and the East Palace are one family, how can Ye Ye blame the mother concubine?" Li Heng glared at Li Qi fiercely, and Li Li hurriedly protected Li Qi behind him, snorted at Li Heng, and said, "Aye, this is the truth." It is difficult to support alone, it is difficult to sing alone, Aya does not want the East Palace to be involved in the rights and wrongs of the court, it is Aye's filial piety to the saint, and the sons are only afraid that the villain will be flattered and framed in front of the saint. The third brother is also thinking about the East Palace. The prince waved his sleeves, and everyone would retreat.
Li Li was about to speak and stopped, and was dragged by Li Li's arm. Concubine Wei smiled gratefully at the brothers.
Concubine Wei has a gentle and kind temperament, and she treats all the concubines and children in the house with leniency and compassion. Li Li's biological mother Wu Niangzi died early, and her only sister was raised under Concubine Wei's knees.
"San Lang, you shouldn't go against His Highness, you know His Highness's temper. Even if he blamed me for a while, it was only anger. Concubine Wei said to Li Qi.
"Isn't Aya just bullying your mother, you have a good temperament? replaced that Zhang Liangdi, isn't she coaxed with anger? Li Qi muttered, he just didn't understand that his brother always told him to be cautious in his words and deeds, could it be that they were all close relatives of flesh and blood, and they didn't even tell the truth?
Since ancient times, there have been no fathers and sons. Li Li thought in his heart, but he didn't say it directly.
"I know that people all over the world wish I was bad, and only my eldest brother was the best for me." Bidding farewell to Concubine Wei for a while, and watching Li Li walk away, Li Li reached out and grabbed Li Li's shoulders and said quietly.
Li Jiao silently broke free of his brother's hand, stared at him for a long time, and said,
"It's good to know." After hesitating for a moment, he said, "You and your second brother have not been on good terms since childhood, how many times has Ayati been?" You have to get by on the face. ”
"Got it." Li Qi agreed while thinking about going to Princess Xingxin's mansion to play, and stepped on the bank of the Qingweishui River, he promised his aunt's fourteenth mother, and he had time to take her to put paper kites.
Li Li saw his thoughts, this child's love, he was too lazy to care.
"Look for your aunt to say goodbye, don't climb the wall, see your cousin like a thief." Li Jiao bent his fingers and knocked on Li Qi's forehead.
Last time, in order to see Princess Xingxin's daughter, the fourteenth mother of the Zhang family, the two dignified grandsons and kings of the county, actually climbed the wall of the princess's mansion.
Of course, Li Li was forced by Li Qi to assist in the crime. The assassination of the crown princess, at the suggestion of Li Jiao, Li Heng played the Son of Heaven and asked the Son of Heaven to strictly and thoroughly investigate the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, clearly saying that even if it was really a rebellion in the market, for the sake of public order in Beijing and the safety of the people, he should also take a strict attitude to calm the people's minds, but privately hoped to find out the clues related to Li Linfu and his henchmen, and alleviate Li Linfu's increasingly predicament against the East Palace.
Chrysostom, the Son of Heaven, ordered out of the Hanyuan Palace, and suffered two classes of courtiers. Ye Qian didn't have a good rest day, and followed his boss to deal with the case day and night, and even the files of Chang'an decades ago were turned out and re-investigated.
Ye Lang, who has always been calm, untied the sandalwood hairpin with coiled hair, ho, and dropped a few more...... Sad. Ye Qian sat in the office of Dali Temple and drank a cup of tea, and the Dali Sizhi who received him came in a hurry.
When he saw someone stepping into the door, he straightened his clothes and got up and waved at Dali. Dali Sizhi is the same rank as Langzhong of the Criminal Department, and the person who came returned the salute.
Ye Qian quietly looked at the person in front of him, he looked a few years older than himself, thinking that he was born from a poor background, with some restraint of a poor family, but with a smart face, he could see at a glance that he was a smart and flexible person.
"In the lower Dali Division, Zhiyuan Zai." Someone said.
"Langzhong of the Criminal Department, Ye Qian." Ye Qian stepped forward to help Yuan Zai take over the pile of scrolls he was holding in his arms. These are the purposes of his visit, to find Dali Temple to ask for some files, and go back to investigate.
"A character and family background like Brother Ye can be seen to get ahead and have a bright future." Won Jae said suddenly, like a compliment, and like an ordinary greeting.
When Ye Qian looked up at him, he was still leaning over to sort out the file. The children of the poor family have studied hard for decades, bustling into Vanity Fair, seeking glory and wealth, seeking glory and glory, and seeking the opportunity to display their ambitions.
A son of a poor family like Yuan Zai, who was once on the list, entered the officialdom, repaid the king with his talent, and was repeatedly promoted in a few years, which has to be admired.
"Brother Yuan also has a promising future." Ye Qian smiled politely, holding the file and planning to leave. Yuan Zai bowed his head and said, "If you have leisure, please ask Brother Ye not to be too shabby, and go to the house for a few drinks?" ”
"It's an honor." Ye Qian only regarded it as a polite word in the officialdom. The moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone paved street, and Ye Qian led the horse alone on the way back to his home.
During the day, his colleagues were busy making fun of him, protecting the media for him, and the son of the owner and the daughter of the west family counted them all over, and he smiled as usual.
As soon as he raised his head, it was as if he saw Gu Panpan's pretty face from the gentle moonlight. Since Gu Xixi always mentioned to him about remarrying a few days ago, he gradually had an idea, thinking that after a few days of being busy, he would find a good day to explain to his parents, Hengzhi himself and Gu Panpan have known each other since childhood, since she does not dislike herself and have a daughter, she has no reason to dislike the clever and clever little marriageable lady.
"Aye!" As soon as Ye Qian returned home, He Niang was tired of being in his arms and refused to leave. He Niang was wearing a middle coat, and her bare feet were dangling her calves in the crook of Ye Qian's arms.
Her soft hair was lowered and draped over her shoulders, making her little face more white and cute. Mrs. Ye personally served a cup of medicinal food, and she was more worried about her son's body than about his success, for fear that he would work too hard.
The scene of family happiness in front of her is certainly gratifying, but Mrs. Ye always feels that something is missing.
"Erlang, now that you are an official, you and I can be regarded as watching you work hard for many years. It's just that if you can quickly remarry a wife and have a son, we will have nothing to worry about. Mrs. Ye looked at the ignorant He Niang and paused,
"A-Niang didn't say that the girl is bad, but when the little girl grows up in the future, there must be a mother to teach." Ye Qian coaxed her daughter, who was lying on her shoulder, yawning repeatedly, to fall asleep, and entrusted it to the nurse lightly.
He said to Mrs. Ye: "Ah Niang, my son has his own idea about this matter. There is no hurry. ”
"Do you like that Pan Niang of the Gu family? If you like it, you can marry someone as soon as possible. Mrs. Ye said this suddenly, so that Ye Qiangang almost choked without swallowing a mouthful of medicinal food.
"Auntie? Is it that our family has dug up some treasure from the ground and wants to divide it according to the head, so you and Aya are so anxious for me to marry and have children? Ye Qian smiled and joked with his mother.
Mrs. Ye patted his arm and said, "You can't talk so inappropriately outside, you learned from Gu Jiaxilang." ”
"What's wrong with Xilang?" Ye Qian stirred the soup with a spoon.
"How can a smart child be so unmotivated." Mrs. Ye sighed.
"You're going to help him? Persuasion or persuasion? Ye Qian felt that the woman was getting older, and she really had to worry about everything.
My own aunt is just the friendship of the world, I want to do so much, God knows how Gu Xixi will be nagged by his mother at home.
"It's useless, the dog is living comfortably on its own."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Ye was stunned.
“…… cough cough cough cough ...... "Ye Qian really choked this time." The mother and son sat at the bottom of the porch for a while, Ye Qian didn't say much, just helped his mother press her shoulder.
Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Ye Qian's thoughts, Mrs. Ye had already figured it out. She looked at the mottled shadows of the moonlight under the stone steps, patted the back of her son's hand, and said, "Your mind A-Niang knows, I will go to the Gu family tomorrow and talk to your Aunt Su about this matter." ”
"But from the mother's life." This time, Ye Qian did not shirk again. The wind picked up, and I saw that the hazy dark clouds obscured the gentle moonlight.
Mrs. Ye looked at the night sky and said, "There may be rain tomorrow, remember to bring rain gear when you go out." ”
"Well, my son got it." Ye Qian felt sleepy, and he didn't bother to go back to clean up, and when Mrs. Ye returned to the house, she slept on the bamboo mat under the porch for a night.
