"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, Lord Du, the emperor will allow you to see you."

Under the pine tree outside the Taiji partial hall, there were more than a dozen people waiting, half of them were imperial historians, seeing that the little yellow gate that came to summon them first led Li Tai and Du Chuke in, they all squinted and looked, and when they walked away, several imperial historians gathered on the side and discussed in a low voice.

"Look at this, let's have another white ginseng."

"Lord Zhou's words are wrong, if King Wei really spent 100,000 yuan to play outside, we will risk death to participate in his crimes."

"Lord Liu, you be quiet, the book is from the treasury of internal affairs, and you still need to consult the emperor to know the details of this matter, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be biased, and we can do nothing."

In a word, this person said that the faces of several other imperial historians were not very good-looking, but they did not have the intention of participating in the performance.

In the imperial study, Li Shimin saw that Xiao Huangmen had led someone in, so he put down the brush in his hand, smiled at Li Tai, and said:

"How was last night's reception banquet, I saw that there were a few people who almost fell asleep standing in the morning court, and they drank all night?"

This joking tone made Du Chuke, who hung his head, secretly breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that last night's "liveliness" had not yet reached the emperor's ears, so he listened to Li Tai's response:

"It was the father's banquet, and the adults drank a few more cups."

Li Shimin nodded and didn't ask this again, "Say, you two come over together, what is there to talk to me about." ”

Du Chuke first glanced at Li Tai, and saw that his face was not different, so he took a step forward, took out the hot fold from his sleeve, held it in his hands, bowed and said: "If you go back to the emperor, it is a happy event." ”

The eunuch next to him went to pick up Du Chuke's document and presented it, Li Shimin opened it and read it, and he actually laughed out loud:

"Okay, good, this is really a happy event, I agreed, I asked the Taishi Bureau to choose a good day, and the matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites - the emperor, the young lady of the Dongfang family has been waiting for you in Beijing for two years, it's not easy, thanks to Dongfang You, who has never come to me to make trouble, I think I'm in a hurry."

Du Chuke listened to his laughter, and the big stone in his heart fell, laughing with him on the side, saying a few funny words, Li Tai listened with his sleeves and did not interrupt, and when he was happy enough, he suddenly said loudly:

"Father, Emperor Qi, the son still has something to please."

"Let's talk about everything else."

"At the beginning, the son refused his father's assignment, and said privately that he wanted to marry the concubine through the door, so he could accept it, but after the crown ceremony was completed, there was no good choice, so he set two family affairs one after another, and the son had two family affairs in succession, and the son had two of them this year, and he should be a family, but the original intention has not changed, so as to ask the father and the emperor to point a family again, and should be the original intention of the son."

Hearing this, it was clear that he had a favorite concubine candidate in his heart, Du Chuke was dumbfounded, Li Tai didn't talk to him in advance, so that he, who already had an idea about the choice of concubine, was at a loss for a while, he was afraid that Li Tai would act casually and recklessly, as if he was ordering a doorman, wanting to interject, but not daring to be rude in front of the emperor.

"Oh?" Li Shimin was quite surprised, closed his hand in Chinese, and said: "You are a special case, your brothers' relatives, most of them are Shu to take ideas, you are good, the three family affairs have to be chosen by yourself, you also say, which family you like, this concubine's matter, Shu can not let you at will." ”

"Back to my father," Li Tai said in a certain tone, lowered his eyes to cover the look in his eyes, and said lightly: "It is the granddaughter of the late Huaiguo Gong, the youngest daughter of the Lu family, and the second Miss Lu." ”

The door newspaper is clear, even if Du Chuke wants to be behind his ears, he can't, his expression changed suddenly, and he subconsciously went to see Li Shimin's reaction in the seat, but he still looked at Li Tai with a light smile, and his big hand tapped lightly on the dragon case, and the imperial study quieted down, leaving only the sound of a gentle knock on the table, and the fingertips seemed to poke Du Chuke's heart, making him a little out of breath, and his heart was horizontal, and before he could speak, the emperor made a sound first.

"Emperor, this family business is not proper."

He had a smile on his face and a gentle tone, but Du Chuke just heard the taste of being absolutely indefensible, for fear that Li Tai would disobey, and his heart became even more nervous

However, Li Tai raised his head unhurriedly, met Li Shimin's gaze, and said, "Erchen knows." ”

"It's good if you know," Li Shimin folded his hands on the case, "Since I mentioned this matter, I won't hide it from you, I already have an idea about the candidate for your concubine, if you have to marry the concubine first, it's okay, but the one your father chose for you is more suitable than the one you picked." ”

"Father Lao is bothered," Li Tai didn't seem to resist Li Shimin to help him get an idea, just like he didn't mention the name of Yu Yu just now, but Du Chuke was almost scared out of his false alarm, and in February, his back was already sweaty.

"Last night's hangover, I saw that you were not in good spirits at this time, if you have nothing to do, go back and rest first, and leave this matter for tomorrow." As Li Shimin spoke, he picked up the brush again and wrote on the paper.

"It's nothing else, don't hide it from my father, because I was framed in public, I only drank a few more cups at the banquet yesterday, and I feel a little headache at this time."

Du Chuke usually wished that Li Tai could say a few more words in front of the saint, but finally Li Tai had more things to do today, but he couldn't wait to come forward and cover his mouth and ask him not to say any more, but Li Tai didn't look at the eyes he secretly handed over, and continued as usual:

"I don't know where that person came from, the sons of the ministers paraded and took the internal affairs of the big surplus of 100,000 yuan, but some people believed it, just outside the palace and waited for a few royal historians, I want to come for this matter, the father and the emperor Mingjian, the sons dare not be so extravagant, if they are wronged, they also hope that the father and the emperor will be clear, and the big surplus will be spent in the past two years, and the sons and daughters will be fair."

At the turn, the pen paused, and a halo of ink appeared on the paper, and a good word was destroyed on this stain, Li Shimin smiled, changed to a solemn color, and said:

"Du Qing will go down first."

“．．． The minister retired. Du Chuke felt helpless Li Tai mentioned this bad thing, and bowed down with a bitter face and retreated, and at this moment, except for a eunuch who served closely, there were only father and son left in the room.

"You don't have to think about this family business, I won't allow it."

"Erchen knows."

"That Miss Lu I once saw the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in your house, and her character and talent are good, but she is not the one who can take on the role of your concubine," Li Shimin looked at Li Tai with straight eyes, and said with some seriousness: "You should know that your father has high hopes for you, and he will help you arrange it properly in major matters." ”

I had high hopes that I would say this to other princes, and I was afraid that I would be able to jump out of my chest with joy, but Li Tai still had no obvious reaction, and also replied:

"Erchen knows."

"As for the cost of your cruise, the accounts of the Great Surplus Treasury are very important, although outsiders are not allowed to check at will, but if necessary, I will not allow those villains to wronged you indiscriminately."

"Erchen knows." Li Tai didn't seem to hear the vague embarrassment in Li Shimin's words, and still replied in three words.

I didn't know that these three words actually caused a sudden change in Long's face, and when I heard the sound of "pop", the brush that was originally held in Li Shimin's hand was thrown on Li Tai's body, and the pen poked a little abrasion mark on the light purple robe on his chest, and then bounced off the carpet.

"If you really do something wrong, you don't need to be involved in the imperial history, and I won't spare you and go out." Before a cup of tea, they still greeted each other with a smile, but after a cup of tea, they repelled coldly.

"The retainers retired."

Li Tai bowed in a proper manner, withdrew from the imperial study, and came to the outside of the hall, only to raise his head, glanced at the sun in the sky at noon, turned the jewel ring on his index finger, and strode towards the direction of the palace gate.

In the afternoon, Yi Yu, who had changed into men's clothes, came out of Kuixing Tower, with no smile on her pretty face, thinking about walking to the carriage waiting across the street.

Two years ago, before she left Beijing, the owner of Chu Mansion of Kuixing Tower gave her some objects, this line of work was a great help, I didn't know how expensive it was, not to mention anything else, but the small knife that sharpened iron like clay, precious, how could it be easily given away.

Just now in the building, I saw someone, Yu Yu took out a small knife and returned it, the other party generously admitted that the knife was not extraordinary, and then there was a sigh, mentioning the old with her eldest brother, saying that Lu Zhi was wronged, and it was to blame the testimony of the people in her building, and she felt very guilty, so she took the sale of the month as a finale, and only asked Yu Yu to accept her mind, lest she think of the dead and couldn't sleep at night.

Yi Yu comforted her a few words on the surface, and in her heart, she didn't believe much of her words, the Fuyao girl who testified to Lu Zhi's murder was brought to the Wei Wangfu by Li Tai from the eldest grandson's family two years ago, and she was hypnotized by her medicine to no avail, even Li Tai couldn't figure out the details of Kui Xing Lou, which just confirmed the strangeness of this Kui Xing Lou.

She used to think that Hongzhuang, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, was also mixed in, but all kinds of signs showed that Lu Zhi's death was inseparable from the one in the palace and Kui Xinglou, in other words, there was some unknown connection between the two.

She boldly guessed that Kui Xinglou was the emperor's eyeliner outside the palace, so what did her eldest brother do, so that they would first tarnish his name, and then kill him, and in the end, he got a corpse with incomplete bones, secretly buried him, and carried infamy after death

Thinking like this, Yi Yu's face turned cold, and the left hand that was held in the cuff clenched it tightly, until the pinched bone joints were sore, and then let go again, and suddenly wanted to see that person, and then came back to his senses, he had walked to the side of the carriage, but the coachman Yu Tong was nowhere to be seen.

"Huh?" Just as he was wondering where he was going, the man ran panting from the alley opposite, stood in front of her, and said with an embarrassed smile:

"Little, Miss, little Just, just gone—hehe."

People were in a hurry, Yi Yu coughed lightly, didn't let him explain again, didn't ask him to throw down the carriage, lifted the curtain and sat down.

"Where is the young lady going, are you looking for a restaurant to eat?"

"Go to the Wei Palace."

"Yes."

When the car arrived at the gate of King Wei's mansion, Yu Yu didn't get out of the car, so Yu Tong took the sign and went to ask Li Tai if he was going back to the house, and after being told that there was no, he hesitated, didn't go in and waited for someone, thinking that nothing was left behind for the time being, so he rushed back to Longquan Town.
