"Your Highness don't worry, this time the official came over on the emperor's orders." Master Li said with a smile.

As he spoke, he and Wang Tanzhi looked at each other and smiled, and then showed the holy decree in his sleeve and said, "Please take the decree from the eldest prince!" ”

After the emperor left just now, after a while, Gonggong Chu called the two of them for questioning.

Yin Jingrui thought that it must be to discuss the aftermath of the matter, and about his own affairs, he would definitely fall behind, but he didn't expect that this would come down to his will.

Yin Jingrui was a little surprised, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Erchen takes the order." ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, the eldest prince Yin Jingrui is brave and good at fighting, and has made great contributions to our country, but this time he was harmed by traitors, wronged and humiliated, and I am very ashamed, and I will reward two hundred slaves and one thousand taels of gold, and the official will be reinstated from now on, and he will also be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and he will be here."

"Son, thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After Yin Jingrui had finished the salute, Master Li hurriedly held him up with both hands and said warmly, "Congratulations to Your Highness, the bitterness has come." ”

It would be false to say that he was not excited, but Yin Jingrui had long been accustomed to hiding his emotions, so in the eyes of outsiders, he just got up calmly and said, "Today's success depends on the Prime Minister and Lord Li to plan for me, please accept Jing Rui's worship." ”

As he spoke, he gave a long and sincere look at the two of them.

"Oh, Your Highness can't help it," Lord Li saw this, and hurriedly avoided it, but Prime Minister Wang accepted his worship very calmly.

Prime Minister Wang Chengrui has taught Yin Jingrui since he was a child, so he treats him like half of his own child, and now he is of course the happiest to see his child with such courage and mind.

Even if he was very good at complimenting, this time he couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, you have lived up to the expectations of the old minister. ”

"Teacher ......"

Yin Jingrui's expression did not change, but his tone was slightly choked.

Prime Minister Wang probably understood his current state of mind, so he didn't say anything more, and after patting Yin Jingrui's shoulder to show encouragement, he said, "Okay, Your Highness, you can tell me now, when did you take this old fox into your account?" ”

He did this both to change the subject and to be curious.

When he went to the border this time, Yin Jingrui had already told him that Master Li was his own person, and when he was completely credible, he was already very curious.

However, at that time, in order to let people see the clues, he didn't dare to have a conversation with Master Li along the way.

Now that everything is decided, where can he hold back?

"Prime Minister, don't you dare, how dare you call yourself a fox in front of you."

Wang Tanzhi is recognized as an old fox, and now he is called an old fox by such an old fox, and Master Li said that he is under a lot of pressure.

"Okay, you haven't been found by the prince's side for so long, who are you not an old fox?"

When Lord Li was doing things for Yin Jingyao, he didn't raise the bar with Prime Minister Wang Cheng, so now that the sworn enemy suddenly became a teammate, Prime Minister Wang's mood can be imagined.

It seems that in his heart, this old fox is really determined, and Master Li no longer has expectations to reverse his name for himself.

"This matter has to start when His Highness was thirteen years old."

Master Li sighed and began to speak.

It turned out that when Master Li first entered the court as an official, he was still just a small Zhongshu order, and he was responsible for sending some folding documents and other things for the emperor every day.

However, because of his temper, he offended some colleagues, so one day in the documents sent to the emperor, he was completely polluted by ink.

Master Li immediately knew that this should be a colleague deliberately harming himself, at that time he had no relatives in the court, and he had no connections, when this kind of thing happened, even if he told the emperor the truth, I was afraid that in the end, the emperor would not trust him.

Therefore, he could only hide in the imperial garden alone and cry, lamenting that his life was not good, and he was afraid that he was speechless in the face of the old lady who was blind in embroidery all day long in order to provide for his own scientific research.

The feeling of self-blame made him feel more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it, and it was then that the eldest prince came over.

At that time, rumors in the palace that were unfavorable to the eldest prince were already flying all over the sky, what kind of disaster stars fell from the sky, stupid, crazy.

Therefore, when the other party asked him why he was crying, he was not as frightened as he met other princes, after all, this emperor has no power to be feared.

Even at that time, the other party was the crown prince.

At that time, Master Li was already desperate, and it was rare for anyone to listen to his thoughts, so he immediately said everything about the bamboo tube and the beans, including the exclusion of his colleagues, and the fact that he didn't want to die yet, and there was an old lady to take care of......

He talked a lot, and the more he talked, the more sad he became, and he cried like a woman.

At that time, Yin Jingrui just laughed, "What did I do at that time, you can completely push this matter onto Bengong." ”

"Push to ...... Yours? Master Li forgot to wipe his tears, so he could only look at him stupidly.

"That's right, this palace is a fool anyway, what's so strange about spilling a little ink."

A fool can say such a thing, whoever believes is a fool! But he is obviously not a fool, why is he rumored to be a fool?

At that time, Lord Li had a little curiosity about this contradictory prince.

Later, he really told the emperor according to what Yin Jingrui said, and then when the emperor questioned Yin Jingrui, he admitted it himself.

This matter passed like this, Lord Li was innocently affected, and naturally he was not punished at all, but Yin Jingrui was punished for kneeling in the temple for three days.

The other party saved his life and suffered such a heavy punishment, Lord Li thought that he was not going to go, so he found an opportunity to thank him, who knew that the other party just lightly warned him, "Lord Li, if you want to live in this place for a long time, you should stay away from the palace." ”

Although he didn't understand it at the time, he always remembered his words in his heart, and finally when he relied on his own efforts to climb to his current position, he finally understood the helplessness and loneliness in the other party's heart at that time.

Obviously not crazy or stupid, but he has to live by pretending to be crazy and stupid, obviously the most noble prince, but he has to endure humiliation that ordinary people can't bear-

Master Li sighed, "From that moment on, I have decided, Your Highness is the person I want to follow. ”

So no matter how dangerous it was by Yin Jingyao's side, he maintained his original intention without hesitation.

"Okay, good, old fox, I really didn't see the wrong person!"

Prime Minister Wang Cheng gave a thumbs up and praised.

After talking about the past between them, Master Li also asked the doubts in his heart.

"Your Highness, where did you get those letters about Helian Feng today?"

At the beginning, because they couldn't find evidence, they secretly brought back a lot of witnesses from the border pass, but the result was useless, and Master Li couldn't help but feel strange.

Yin Jingrui sighed, and didn't intend to hide it from them, "This thing was given to me by Yiyi." ”

"Su Yiyi?" When Prime Minister Wang Cheng heard this, he frowned, and said very disapprovingly, "Why does Your Highness still have a relationship with this woman?" ”
